(male announcer)
In the criminal justice system,

Sexually based offenses are
Considered especially heinous.

In new york city,
The dedicated detectives

Who investigate
These vicious felonies

Are members
Of an elite squad

Known as
The special victims unit.

These are their stories.

Okay, you're sensitive
And charming.

Now invite her back
To your place

And let us go home.

What do you bet
He stiffs us harder

Than he stiffs her?

Ready for the check?

Actually we were thinking
About dessert.

Something exciting.

Flambã©, maybe.

Folks, the only thing here
That's flaming

Is the maitre d',

And he left an hour ago.

Time to call it a night.

[screaming]

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

[dishes crash]

You dragged my ass
Out of bed

Because benson's
On vacation?

Not a vacation.

She's on a three-day conference
For battered women.

It's not exactly
Club med, you know?

What do we got
On the menu for tonight?

Barbecue.

A little too well-done.

Let me go out
On a limb here.

No I.D.

You've done this before.

A lot of nightclubs
Around here.

So a wall streeter comes
Stumbling out drunk,

Gets rolled.

But why fry the poor guy?

He's missing a few things
More valuable

Than his wallet.

Ow, uh, yeah,
Good-bye family jewels.

They get burned off?

No, there'd be charred remnants.

I'd say it was
A chop job.

Probably just before
He was torched.

Any idea where
Our crispy critter

Came running from?

Follow the bloody brick road.

I'd say this is where
He lost his boys.

Accelerant on the ground.

Looks like he was lit up
Over by this car.

Castrated then immolated.

Whoever did it wanted
This guy to suffer.

Puncture wounds match
The scalpel you found.

More than a dozen deep ones
To his groin,

Abdomen, and thighs.

Sloppy attack.
Emotional.

Exactly.

The excised genitals show
The same kind

Of ragged hacking.

Are we done yet?

If it's any consolation,

You're probably feeling
More pain than he did.

Tox screen for alcohol
And crack was off the chart.

Small mercies.
Toasted then roasted.

How'd you get so much info
From burned skin?

Same way I'll get a print.

Juice him up.

The problem with fire-damaged
Tissue

Is loss of bodily fluids.

Rehydration...

Restores the natural contours.

Now...

We hope our victim
Has a record.

[machine beeping]

And the winner is...

Joshua michael galli, 22.

Arrests for loitering,

Turnstile-jumping,

And public urination.

These are not the usual beefs
That a wall streeter racks up.

(warner)
My guess,
This guy was homeless.

(man)
My boy wasn't homeless.

This was his home.

Played football for blessed
Heart high school.

(stabler)
Good team.

Faced 'em a couple times
When I was at bayside.

Josh was tough
On the field.

That's where he left it.

Sweetest kid you ever met.

Friends with everyone
On the block.

Even after he got sick.

Sick with what?

Schizophrenia.

Diagnosed in 12th grade.

His mom couldn't take it.

Left after a year.

Pissed at josh like
He was making it all up.

Pissed at me for believing him.

It's hard to think
That something's wrong

With your kid.

I took him to every
Doctor appointment.

Watched him try one pill
After another.

When none of those worked,
He...

Started getting high.

Wandering off for weeks.

Mr. Galli, the attack
Looked personal.

Was josh having trouble
With anyone?

I don't know.

Last time he was home

Was september.

He just...Walked through
That door,

Smiling, like the old josh.

Even had himself
A job interview.

I made him breakfast.

Watched him head off

For his interview.

He never came back.

So no enemies that he ever
Talked about?

Only the street cleaners.

Not the big white sweeper
Trucks.

I'm talking about
The sick bastards

Who hunt the homeless
And videotape it.

When josh told me,

I--I thought
He was imagining it.

Like a delusion.

Then I went online.

Found the videos they post.

So everyone can get
A good laugh

Watching street people
Getting their heads kicked in.

[man laughing on monitor]
This is what a real street
Cleaning looks like.

If the politicians
Won't take care of the trash,

We will!

Two dozen more of these
On the web.

Different attacks,
Different victims.

Same result.

Lot of busted heads.

And they got the balls
To crow about it online.

Let's face it.

Deviancy has run amok
On the internet.

Ten years ago, only freaks
Knew where to get snuff videos

Or amputee porn.

Now grandma emails
"Two girls, one cup,"

Signs it "Lol."

Well, whoever
These scumbags are,

They're smart enough not
To show their faces

Or any landmarks.

But too stupid to realize

How smart their cell phone
Camera is.

Every video they've posted
Has a geo-tag.

It's like a mother lode
Of data.

Date and time, f-stop,

Even gps coordinates
Where it was shot.

In this case,

Every attack location.

Does it give us
A phone number

So we can track down
The owner?

Numbers can be changed

And the street cleaners
Know enough to do that.

But geo tags give us something
Unchangeable.

The international mobile
Identity number.

It's like a serial number
For the device.

Gives us every call made
On their phone.

Including a bunch made
That night a block away

From where josh galli
Got lit up.

So how do we find
These morons?

Oh, they'll find you.

They've got a concerned
Citizen tip line

On their website.

(stabler)
"Got a problem?
Let us solve it."

So we just introduce 'em

To the laziest, filthiest bum
They've ever seen.

They're watching us!
The cia!

Brain waves!

I gotta say,
The man does crazy good.

Good?

This is the same old crap
He says every day,

Only louder.

It ain't working either.

There ain't a damn
Street cleaner in sight.

Yeah.

(munch)
The illuminati are after us

Or they're after you.

Nobody's after me?
Is anybody after me?

You picked the wrong corner,
Cockroach!

Police!
Drop the bat!

Drop the bat!

Drop the bat!

You're under arrest.

Wh--what did I do?

Besides save this city
From those vermin out there.

Those vermin are people.

Sara, maybe we shouldn't say
Anything--

Shut up, seth.

Just sit there and look
Like the dumb ass that you are.

When someone you love

Gets killed by one
Of those vermin,

You get a vote.

Till then,
Shut your ugly face.

Go back, go back.

Go back.
Who got killed?

Last year,

My father was coming home
On the subway.

Then this thing gets on.

Didn't say a word.

Just smashed a brick
Against my dad's skull.

He was dead

Before he hit the floor.

My dad was the third person
This guy attacked.

It was the 26th time he'd been
In and out of prison, okay?

And what did any of you do?

You just shuffle him
In and out

Of hospitals and jail cells

And didn't do a damn thing
To stop him.

Since you can't do your job,
Okay, I will!

Anything else you want
To confess to?

We got you for
The video assaults.

The murder you're
On the hook for.

W--we never murdered
Anyone.

Last night a homeless man
Was castrated

And set on fire
And your phone

Was there at the exact
Same time.

Where? At the meatpacking
District?

That's funny.
We didn't mention that.

Because we were there
At the bar

On top of the gansevoort hotel.

We went up at, like, 10:00
And came down at sunrise.

Seth shoots for party people.

(stabler)
Who?

Party people.

We got to bars and take
Snapshots of drunk idiots.

And the can buy 'em
Off our website.

Sara went with me last night.

I got pretty wasted.

I ended up being
In most of his shots.

Show 'em your phone,
Seth.

Right here, see?
Sit.

Look at that.

1:20,

1:19,

1:17.

Josh died at 1:17,
200 feet below.

(sara)
Told you we didn't do it.

Wish we had though.

O'halloran's got something
For us.

Have fun in prison.

Whaddaya got for us?

Puzzling pieces
From your crime scene.

Arsonists almost always
Use gasoline

Or lighter fluid.

Josh galli's killer
Used formaldehyde.

The stuff
That pickles people.

Burns 'em too.

From the puddling
And scorch marks,

I'd say our perp
Poured too much,

Maybe fumbled getting a spark.

Fumes built up,
And whammo.

So our guy might be
A little crispy himself.

I also found...This.

(stabler)
An electric match.

Flash must've blown it
Out of the perp's hand

Into the flames.

Originally it looked like this.

(stabler)
Any way to trace it?

Well, this one has letters
Engraved

On the barrel, see?

"Property of

B.H.H.S."

Blessed heart high school.

(man)
The science lab
Is right through here.

I'm max, by the way.

Nice to meet you, max.

This science lab,

Does everyone have access
To it?

Uh, during class.

Otherwise just our chem
Teacher, sister elizabeth.

And one of the seniors,
Alec bernardi.

He cleans up,

Makes sure all the equipment
Is accounted for.

He gets an extra credit
For it.

Sort of like I do
For being student escort.

Alec a trustworthy kid?

I guess so.
He's an honor student.

Then again, he's never joined
My club.

Chastity circle.

In my day, they called that
The a.V. Club.

My girlfriend and I both
Belong.

We've made a commitment
To sexual abstinence.

Oh, hey, uh,

There's alec right there.

Okay, uh, max,
We don't need you anymore.

Thanks.

Whoa, whoa, alec,
Slow down, slow down.

I didn't hear
Any bells ringing.

Yeah, you're moving like someone
Lit a fire under your ass.

Uh, f-fire.

I--I don't know anything
About a fire.

Really?

How'd you burn
Your hand?

[elevator dings]

Welcome back.

Thanks.
How was the conference?

The usual.

A lot of good information,
A lot of bad coffee.

Elliot and john have

An interesting suspect
In interrogation.

You wanna watch?

It's what I live for.

Hey, who's in charge here?

Can I help you?

You got my boy.

I want to see him.

What's his name?

What's your name?

Donald cragen,
Captain of svu.

His name is alec bernardi.

Miss bernardi,

Your son is in custody.

You can see him after
We're done questioning him.

You can't do that
Without me there.

He's over 16,
So yes, we can.

Alec was read his rights

And he declined a lawyer.

He's just a kid!

What the hell does he know?

Come on,
I want to see him now.

He must be scared to death.

Scared--
Not the word I'd use.

I'm proud of what I did.

(stabler)
You murdered
A mentally ill man.

(munch)
The guy was high as a kite.

It wasn't even a fair fight.

Well, josh had it coming.

Oh, you knew him?

He used to live
In my neighborhood,

But I didn't mean to kill him.

You stocked up on weapons

From your school
Science lab.

You hunted him down.
We call that intent.

Yeah, well, you know,

I--I'd call that honor.

Kid's got a way
Of twisting words.

Mom out there
Is in for a shock.

[alec over speaker]
I'm telling you
It was an accident. Okay?

And I didn't go hunting josh.

I saw him hanging out
In the meatpacking district

A couple of times.

Look, I only took that stuff
From the school to scare him.

Not to kill him.

Then--then he punched me.

Grabbed for the scalpel and--

I--I started to stab him.

In the genitals.
That was no accident.

It just got out of control.

You were in control enough
When you set him on fire.

I only did what my dad
Would've done.

He would've been proud of me.

I'd like to meet
The old man

Who gives his kid
A pat on the back

For doing something like that.

Yeah, well,
He's not around anymore.

But, you know,
If he found out

What josh did--

Yeah, what did he do?

He raped my sister
And got her pregnant!

That's why I cut
His balls off!

Now can I see my boy?

Not yet.

First we need to speak
With your daughter.

Tina?
Why?

He raped me?

No one raped me.

Tina, I know how difficult
This is to admit.

You want to forget
That it ever happened.

Maybe--maybe you even blame
Yourself--

I didn't do anything.
Neither did josh.

Tina, you need to go
To a doctor.

You need to be tested
For stds.

These are diseases
That may--

May hurt you and your baby.

Baby?
What is she talking about?

Mom.

What does she mean "Baby"?

[scoffs]

Tina, you need to tell us.

Christina divola bernardi,

I asked you a question!

Would both of you just stop!

[sighs]

That galli kid
Did this to you?

I'm gonna kill
The little bastard!

Oh, my god!

Your son already beat you
To the punch.

My son didn't do anything--

Neither of you get it!

Josh didn't rape me.
We had sex!

It was--what do you call it,
Consensual?

Oh, my god.

Tina, why does your brother
Think

That josh raped you?

Because he's an idiot.

The other day,
I was...

I was on the phone
With bianca

And I made a joke
About josh doing me.

Alec was there.
He must've misunderstood.

Yeah, but--

I--I'm still misunderstanding.

Tina, I need you to tell me

What happened with josh.

It was three months ago.

And I saw josh upstairs

Coming out of
His dad's place.

I know josh gets sick
Sometimes and wanders off.

But he was better.

Talking normal.

He looked good.

He said I looked good.

And I always had a crush
On him from when I was little.

You're still little!

And now you're knocked up
By a nutcase!

Mrs. Bernardi, please.

Go on.

We went up to the roof.

We talked for a while.

He had a bottle from his dad's
Liquor cabinet.

It--it just happened.

Without a condom.

He said he could go get one.

But I told him not to.

What did you just say?

You wanted to get pregnant?

Yeah.

We all did.

(carlotta)
We grew up together.

Now we're gonna have kids
Together.

How sweet is that?

(benson)
And the baby's father?

This is about us.

You're in school.

Catholic school.

If they kick us out,
We'll get jobs.

(bianca)
Our parents will totally
Help us.

Right, dad?

Or I'll go on welfare.

(carlotta)
What's the big deal?

That vice president lady's
Daughter

Is gonna have a baby.

Yeah, why can't we?

Josh suffered from
Schizophrenia.

You're not worried
That your baby

Is gonna be
Predisposed to it?

No way.

What does predisposed mean?

Whose idea was this?

Fidelia's.

Fidelia's.

She got pregnant first.

Said we all should.

Yeah, it was my idea.

It rocks, huh?

We're totally gonna be
The hottest milfs on the block.

Milfs?

It means mother I'd like to--

Oh, I know what it means.

Wanna see the stroller
I picked out?

It's so cute.

Fidelia,

You need to screw your head
On straight.

This is a baby
We're talking about.

Not a new shade of lipstick.

Don't say another word,
Angel.

Are you charging my daughter
With something, detective?

Because I don't like
Your tone.

I'm just here to ask
A few questions,

Mr. Vidal.

Daddy, let her ask.
I'm fine.

Good.

Fidelia, why don't we talk

About the father of the baby,
Huh?

So what's your story?

Excuse me?

You have kids?
You're pretty old.

We're here to talk about you.

I bet you're jealous.

Old chicks are totally
Jealous of me.

Is that it?

Did you wait too long?

Tick tock.

Fidelia,

A baby is not an accessory.

It is not a bracelet
Or a pair of earrings

Or a slammin' pair
Of jeans.

This is a living,
Breathing human being

That you are bringing
Onto this earth.

You think I don't know that?

If you did,

You'd be petrified
About your future.

Do you know the odds
Of a teen mom

Finishing high school?

Forget college or any other
Dream that you might have.

Life as you know it
Is over now.

There's no going to the mall

Or hanging out
With your friends.

I mean, you might see them.

But if you do it'll probably
Be in line

Waiting for food stamps

Or all of you going
To the doctor,

Trying to get an appointment
At the free clinic.

Daddy, make her be quiet!

That's enough, detective.

Do you know the health risks

To babies of teen moms?

Dyslexia, retardation,

Um, increased risks

Of blindness,
Cerebral palsy--

Daddy!

Don't you try
To blame my daughter.

She's just a child.

That's my point exactly.

Oh, yeah?

What about the kid
That knocked her up, huh?
[banging on door]

Fidelia...

Is it true?

Yes.

I was gonna tell you.

We made a commitment
To each other.

To god.

You were supposed to be
My first, true wife.

I was supposed to be
Your first, true husband.

[sobbing]

It's okay.
I still love you.

It's okay. Shh.

[crying]

Even christians make mistakes.

Any other candidates?

So four teenage girls make
A pact to get pregnant

And then just laugh
About it?

Doesn't sound like fidelia
Was laughing

When liv got done with her.

I may've dropped the hammer
A little too hard.

Well, the girl could use
All the reality she can get.

I'll bet she's not getting it

From the nuns at school
Or the chastity circle.

Wouldn't have mattered anyway.

These girls wanted
To get pregnant.

And their parents
Weren't much help either.

Some of these apples
Didn't fall far from the tree.

Any idea what their plans are?

Oh, they're all gonna have
Their kids.

Well, there's no need
To turn a mistake

Into a bigger mistake.

Babies having babies
Doesn't bother you?

Babies killing babies
Bothers me.

So it's that easy,
Huh, altar boy?

Well, there's no rape
Or incest,

So yeah, it is that easy.

There's a thing called
Adoption.

Well, it's off our plate now.
There's no crime here.

(greylek)
Uh, I'm not so sure
About that.

All four girls
Are under the age of consent.

Josh galli would've gone down

For having sex
With tina bernardi.

How old are the other dads?

Well, bianca and carlotta
Got pregnant

By boys in their class,
Both minors.

So they can't be charged.

And like kim said,

We could've gone after
Josh galli,

Except he's dead.

Which leaves us only

With our little ring leader,
Fidelia vidal,

Who thinks that the guy
Who got her pregnant is 22.

Thinks?

Oh, she's only met him once.

Doesn't know his real name.

Only his street name,
"Dizzer."

Goofy name or not,

If he's over 18,
We can charge statutory rape.

Wait a minute,
Wait a minute.

I thought this, uh,
[phone rings]

Max kid was fidelia's boyfriend.

So did he.

Fidelia met dizzer

At a house party
That he was deejaying.

They snuck away,
Got high, and got busy.

No judge would order
A paternity test on a fetus.

We need a parent
To file charges.

Sounds like fidelia's dad

Is already on the warpath.

Check this out.

[on tv]
This isn't about what a group

Of young, vulnerable girls
Might've done.

It's about a culture
That sexualizes kids

At a younger and younger age.

And the police who do nothing

To protect our daughters
Against male predators.

I just found out the man
That impregnated my daughter

Is 22 years old.

22 years old!

What are the police doing?

Nothing.

Well, that's great.

In blows hurricane vidal
And we don't even know

The name of the kid
We're looking for.

Seek and ye shall find,
My captain.

Doing a little digging
In the cars database

Of criminal aliases
And who pops up

But a young man
Named dizzer,

Aka donald zuccho.

(stabler)
Don zuccho.

Yo, yo, name's dizzer.
What up?

[scoffs]

Uh-oh.

It's the po-po.

What y'all lookin' for,

A copy of
I shot the sheriff?

Ha, no.

We're actually looking
For you to tell us

About fidelia vidal.

Who?

The sweet little thing
You tapped

In bensonhurst last summer.

Son, you gonna have
To be more specific,

A'ight?

'cause my motto is...

Wreckin' decks
And gettin' sex.

You know what's up,
Don't you, my brother?

She's about to have a baby.

Yours.

Yo, tell her to get in line.

I already got two.

You make child support
By spinning records

And working in this dump?

Child support?

[laughs]

Baby mamas' just happy
Their kids look like me.

Well, fidelia's dad
Wants more.

Well, fool should want
To keep his teefs.

You just threaten him?

And the word's "Teeth."

Right.

Dna warrant.

Pull your pants up
And get your ass down

To the medical examiner's
Office.

Just got touched,
My brother.

Mr. Vidal,
Thought you should know

We just slapped
A court order on the father

Of your upcoming grandchild.

He's gone for a paternity test.

It's about time.

Well, your daughter'll need
To have an amniocentesis

So we can make a match.

Otherwise you'll have to wait
Until the baby is born.

We have a doctor on call
At mercy hospital.

Let's take her now.

Angel, would you come out here
Please?

Sweetie--

What's our rule?
No locked doors.

Come out here right now.
[rattles doorknob]

You're going to the doctor.

Fidelia, open this door.

Ow.

I have a bum shoulder.
Would you mind?

As long as you don't sue
For damages.

Angel, you better be decent.

[isabella screams]
No!

No!
No!

Oh, my god!

[crying]

Aah!

Why would she do this?
Why would she do this?

It's okay, it's okay.

It's all right.

Mrs. Vidal,
We're sorry about your loss.

I know why.

I know why she did it.

Ma'am?

Someone made my baby
Kill herself.

They drove her to it.

What do you mean?

Last night,
Someone started emailing her.

They were calling her
A slut and a whore.

She was crying.

They wouldn't leave her alone.

Where is the computer?

In the den usually.

We don't let fidelia
Have one in her room.

But last night,
Me and gordon,

We were fighting and...

We were screaming and yelling.

And we were both drinking.

And I told fidelia
To go to her room

And she took the laptop
With her.

Mrs. Vidal,
We need to see it.

Where is it?

Why didn't I go help her?

I heard her crying and I--

All I did was pour myself
Another drink.

[crying]

Why didn't I help her?
I just had another drink.

Why didn't I help her?

Where's the family computer?

Inside.

"Dizzer4ever?"

Frickin' lame-o.

Well, that's who
Was taunting her

All last night.

We got it off her computer.

"Ur a dumb whore.

How dumb do you think
That baby will b?"

"Everyone hates you
So stfu.

"Lol.

"The world doesn't need you,
Slut.

End it.
End it now."

And she responds
"U r so mean.

Forget it, fath is knocking.
Gotta go."

So she signed off with you

After her father was knocking
On the door.

And I'm saying it wasn't me.

A'ight, my email's
Dizzerdawgdj.

Y'all wanna check it?
Yeah, we do.

Was I lying?

Besides,

Last night after I went

And I gave my dna
To that fine nubian princess,

Hopped on the r train
Over to brooklyn

To do a gig.

Then did some more rockin'

With a couple twins
Afterward.

You know what I'm saying?
Did I mention?

(fin)
Yeah, yeah, we know.

Decks and sex.
That's right.

I'm telling you
Whoever dissed that bitch

Into killing herself
Is setting me up.

Well, don't get too torn up
About that bitch.

She was only gonna be
The mother of your child.

[scoffs]

I'm gonna need that phone back,
Five-oh.

Yeah, them twins are gonna
Be wanting me

To drop that rope on 'em
Again, ha.

Dizzer didn't send
Any emails last night.

Damn, I woulda liked busting
His dumb ass.

All right, well,
Whoever did this

Had to know about
Fidelia's one-night stand.

Maybe one of her friends
Is dizzer4ever.

(fin)
Nothing crueler
Than high school girls.

(munch)
Why not ask somebody
Who knows?

While you were out,

I did some digging
On those emails.

I got the ip address.

Tracked down where
They were sent from.

A delightfully skeezy
Little internet cafe

On grand street.

There's no sign-in sheet.

And whoever paid
For the computer time

Did so in cash.

So what are you
So cocky about?

Two doors down
Is a nail salon.

And in between is an atm machine
With a security camera.

So guess who got
A pedicure,

Took 20 bucks out
Of the atm machine,

And then bopped
Into the net nook

Three minutes before
The emails started?

Peggy bernardi.

(peggy)
Yeah, good timing.

We've been out all day.

Guess you got over
Being mad

That tina had
A bun in the oven.

Hey, what am I gonna say?

I had her brother
When I was 16 years old.

Alec, you here?

Ah, you bailed your son out,
Huh?

Yeah, I had to put the deed up
To this place.

You still found time
To go on a shopping spree.

You're mother of the year.

Hey, I take care
Of my kids

Just like I'm gonna do
With my grandbaby.

And won't he look cute
In this?

"My grandma is a gilf."

Too bad fidelia's mother
Won't have a chance

To hold her grandchild.

Oh, god, isn't that horrible?

Tina loved fidelia
Like a sister.

We all did.

Then why did you taunt her

Into killing herself?

Dizzer4ever.

What is that?

(stabler)
Tina, you better go
To your room.

(peggy)
No, you stay here.

They're leaving.
Hey, what's going on?

Pull up a chair.

Read how your mother
Drove fidelia to suicide.

Mom, is that true?

Get the hell out of my house!

First just tell us why.

You want me to admit
That I wrote it?

Okay, fine.

I wrote it, okay?

But that little slut
Ruined this family.

If it wasn't for her,

My daughter wouldn't have
Gotten pregnant

And my son wouldn't have made
The mistake that he did.

A teenage girl has
More influence

Over your kids than you do?

Boo-hoo.
Her death is on you.

Leave her alone!

Step back, tough guy.

Alec, stop it.

Take your sister and go
In the other room.

Now!
Both of you!

I didn't tie a rope
Around the bitch's neck.

I only typed words
In a computer.

If you had anything more
Than threats

Against me and my kids,

You would've arrested me
Already.

So get out.

Out!

[scoffs]

(benson)
We can't charge her.

That woman murdered
Fidelia vidal.

New york has nothing
On the books yet

Against cyber-bullying.

Technology always
Outpaces the law.

Whatever.

So just give us
Another strategy then.

I only said murder is out.

We can try for promoting
A suicide attempt.

Try.

It was written
As an anti-kevorkian law

To stop doctor-assisted
Suicide.

But maybe I can get it past
Judge moredock.

And if you can't?

Then we go for criminal
Impersonation,

Aggravated harassment,

And endangering the welfare
Of a child.

All misdemeanors.
[phone rings]

(greylek)
So we throw in reckless
Endangerment

To get another felony.

(munch)
Folks, what's immoral

Is not always what's illegal.

Peggy bernardi may be
A psycho,

But she only used words.

Right, against
An impressionable,

Hormonally-volatile
Teenage girl.

So write a new law,

But don't trample
On the first amendment.

(cragen)
That was downtown
With a heads-up.

Somebody put the bernardis'
Address on google earth.

There's a crowd chasing her
Around little italy,

Calling her monster mom.

You don't like my approach,
Munch?

Is mob rule any better?

[angry shouting]

My daughter is dead
Because of her!

Please, everyone,
Calm down!

This is crazy!

My boy's dead.

The vidal girl is dead.

Do we really want more death?

We're neighbors!

She killed my baby!
Nypd! Clear the hall!

Clear the hall now.

Everybody get back!
Get away from the door.

Mrs. Bernardi,
This is detective stabler.

Open up.

Thank god.
You gotta save us.

Yeah, we'll save you
Right into jail.

Come on, let's go!

They're trying to kill me
And my family.

You killed fidelia!

You killed her!

[shouting]

You're dead if I ever
See you again!

Docket ending 1488,

People versus peggy bernardi.

One count promoting
A suicide attempt.

One count reckless endangerment.

One count criminal
Impersonation.

One count aggravated
Harassment.

One count endangering
The welfare of a child.

Mr. Granger, how does
Your client plead?

I didn't promote anything

Or harass anyone recklessly
Or any other way.

This is a bunch of crap.

Guilty or not?

She pleads not guilty,
Your honor.

Bail, ms. Greylek?

$500,000.

Are you off your nut?

Counselor, control
Your client.

Might need a stun gun.

Peggy, be quiet.

I'm sorry, your honor,

But ms. Bernardi needs
To be at home

To make sure her daughter
Receives proper prenatal care.

Her other child
Is on home confinement

On an unrelated charge

And needs his mother's aid
In preparing a defense.

Do 'em both a favor.
Keep her caged.

What is your problem?

My client has lived
In the same community

For her entire life
And is hardly a flight risk.

And these charges
Are as tenuous

As they are numerous.

I'll agree there,
Ms. Greylek.

Bail is set at $50,000.

Your honor,

As a condition of bail,

The people ask
That the defendant

Be prohibited from using
A computer

Or any form of electronic
Communication

Lest any other young person's
Life be threatened.

Hey, I got auctions
On ebay.

Ms. Bernardi,
Unplug the computer.

Adjourned.

[bangs gavel]

Next case.

(granger)
Try to relax.

Your animosity is showing,
Counselor.

So is your lack
Of judgment.

Your client's a murderer.

Funny, of all the charges
You filed,

You forgot to file
That one.

The law hasn't quite caught up
To what monster mom did,

But I'll get it there.

You really think
You can convince a jury

That a single mother
Of two kids

Took time off from
Her busy day

To taunt a neighbor girl
Into committing suicide?

You kidding?

Five minutes of her
On the stand

And they'll see
She's the devil.

I'm a loving mother.
A good person.

So a good person goes online,
Attacks an underage kid

While pretending to be
Someone else?

It wa--was just in fun.

Then why did you
Send her emails

From an internet cafe?

Was there something wrong

With your computer at home?

(peggy)
It was convenient.

Ms. Bernardi,
Would you please read

To the jury what you wrote,
Impersonating someone else,

To ms. Vidal.

"Omfg.

"You're a dumb whore.

How dumb to you think
That baby will be?"

And omfg means?

Oh, my blankin' god.

So that's what a good person

Writes to a pregnant
Teenage girl.

I was mad about what
She did to this family.

She told my girl
To get pregnant--

Next line, please.

"Everyone hates you.

So stfu, lol."

(greylek)
And stfu means?

Shut the blank up.

And lol?

Laughing out loud.

So a good person laughs
Out loud

After telling a pregnant
Teenage girl

To shut the blank up.

She did a lot worse
To my family.

Next line please.

I'm sorry, did you suddenly
Forget how to read?

"The world doesn't need you,
Slut.

End it.
End it now."

And a good person writes,
"End it, end it now,"

To a pregnant teenage girl

And never thinks
For a second

That she might
Actually do it?

It--it was just a goof.
I never--

One last thing,
Ms. Bernardi.

Please read to the jury
What ms. Vidal wrote

To you in her final email.

"Why are you so mean?

Forget it.
Fath is knocking.

Gotta go."

That's right.

Her father was knocking.

Coming to check on fidelia

After she had been crying
For hours.

That's what a good person does.

A good parent.

They don't persecute
Other people's kids.

They don't let their daughters
Become teenage moms

Or their sons become
Revenge killers.

No!
You're wrong.

Ms. Bernardi,
You need to sit down.

But she's wrong.
My mom's wrong too.

Fath isn't short for father.

(moredock)
Bailiff,
Remove that young lady.

Fath means f-a-t-h.

"First and true husband."

They say it in a club
At school.

The chastity circle.

Fidelia's first and true
Husband was max matarazzo.

The vidals were home.

When fidelia answered
The front door,

They would've seen max
Come in.

Fidelia's dad
Is kind of a jerk.

I came up the fire escape

To visit her
So he wouldn't know.

But we didn't know
Because you didn't tell us.

Even when we asked you questions
About fidelia.

And I should have.

Look, it was just
All too crazy,

Okay?

Maybe you were feeling guilty.

Guilty?

About what you did
To him.

Something bad.

No--no,
I didn't do anything bad.

Murder is a sin, max.
You know that.

What?
No--listen.

I loved fidelia, okay?

And--
And she committed suicide.

Did she?

Why would I kill her?

We have been together
Forever.

Look, it's not like
We didn't want to do it, okay?

Of course we did.
Everyone's doing it.

But we made a commitment
To each other.

We made a commitment to god.

That you were her first
And true husband.

And she was my first
And true wife.

She wasn't exactly
So true.

I forgave her for that.

Really?

You forgave her, huh?

That she gave it up
To dizzer?

She took her clothes off
For dizzer.

She let dizzer touch
Her body all over.

She made love

To dizzer,
A complete stranger.

And all you got
Was a broken promise?

No.

That's why you went back
To her house that night.

Maybe you forgave her
Too fast.

I kept emailing her.

I kept texting her.

And she kept blowing me off.

Saying that she was
In the middle of something.

Right, and when you crawled
In through her window,

There she was again
With dizzer,

This time online.

He was calling her a slut
And a whore.

She was crying.

I'll bet she never cried
Like that for you.

None of this would've ever
Happened

If she'd kept her promise
To me.

The only thing
She cared about

Was whether dizzer
Or other people hated her.

The only person she didn't care
About was you, max.

I tried to hug her
To get her to stop crying.

And she slapped me.

Said that she never loved me.

That she never
Would've married me.

Said that the only reason
I was staying a virgin

Was because I was scared
To have sex.

Scared that I couldn't do it!

That's when you put
Your hands around her neck.

I just wanted her
To stop yelling.

So you kept squeezing
And squeezing

Until she finally did.

Then you wrapped the belt
Around her neck

And made it look
Like a suicide.

I've asked for forgiveness...

Every night since.

But god doesn't answer me.

He says nothing.

I'm the one who kept
My promise.

I'm not the bad one.

Why?

Why won't he answer me?

(judge pongracic)
Max matarazzo,

On the charge of manslaughter
In the first degree,

You are hereby sentenced
To four years

In the state penitentiary.

[bangs gavel]

(siebert)
Alec bernardi,

On the charge of murder
On the second degree,

You are sentenced
To 15 years to life.

[bangs gavel]

(moredock)
Ms. Bernardi, in light

Of the conviction
Of max matarazzo,

This court dismisses
All charges against you.

You are free to go.

[bangs gavel]

I'm so happy.

I told you I was innocent.

There's a big difference

Between charges dropped
And innocent.

I'm sure your neighbors
Will explain it to you

When you get home.

They can go to hell.
You too.

Just try and wash the blood
Off your hands

Before you hold tina's baby
For the first time, okay?

You shut your freakin' mouth!

I'll freakin' kill you!

Bailiff!

Ugh!
You don't even know me!

I'm a good mother!

I'm a good mother!
Why are you doing this to me!

Get off of me!
Tina!

Come on, let's go.

I'm a good mother!

You don't even know me!

What do you have against me?
You okay?

Stop it!
Get off of me!

Fine.

Collar that bitch
For assault.

[crying]

Family court, huh?

It's gonna be bad,
Isn't it?

Uh...

If I hadn't been so stupid,

None of this
Would've happened.

Tina, right now,
What you've got to do

Is take care of yourself
And take care of that baby.

How?

My whole family's in jail.

And now they're gonna send me
To a--a foster home.

I'm not so sure about that.

Hi, tina.

Mr. Galli,

What are you doing here?

I came to...

Talk to the judge.

Tell him...

A baby shouldn't be born

Surrounded by strangers.

A baby needs a home.

Especially my grandchild.

I'm so sorry

About what my brother did.

It's not about the past,
Tina.

It's about right now.

Good luck.
