Original subtitles

- 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.

- It's moments like these that remind me

of the oath that I took,

to protect the innocent.

This is victim services.

Call them sometime.

You gotta give me the rape kit.

It's the only way we're gonna ID this guy.

This is not a solitary act...

But more of a lifelong commitment.

- Is it your will that Nicky be baptized

in the faith of this church?

- It is. - Yes, Father.

- May the Lord free you from sin

as you are given new birth by this water.

Hi. Yes.

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

- I baptize you in the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

- Hi.

The game's on.

Come on, Eileen. - Very funny.

You know I hate that song.

- I'm gonna sing it if we don't get out of here.

- Dad, please don't sing. - Shelf paper.

Where's the shelf paper? See?

You're about to embarrass your daughter now.

- Hey, Maddie, I'll make a deal with you.

I won't sing if you help me drag your mother out of here.

How about you just help me

find the acrylic paint instead?

- Acrylic paint, for what?

- For the vase I have to make for art class.

I want to paint it.

- Divide and conquer? - Mm-hmm.

Come on, let's go get the paint.

- Four, three, two, one. - Go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go. - Ready or not, here I come.

- Carisi tells me you're single.

- Oh, he just offered that up, huh?

- Well, I asked.

By the way, I'm divorced.

- Well, don't look at me.

Might as well toss your heart into a wood chipper.

- All right. Fair enough.

- Hey, I see you... you met my cousin, Steve.

- You had to offer that up, Carisi, that I was single?

- What? You are single.

And he wouldn't leave me alone about it.

He's a nice guy. - Want me to run interference?

- No, Fin. That's very sweet.

I can handle it, thank you.

But Carisi, I don't...

- You know, Munch would have ran him off

just telling him his theory

about the Kennedy assassination.

To Munch, the man.

- The myth. - Sergeant

- To Detective Munch.

- I see my wife's face.

I got to get back on diaper duty.

- Mm-mm. I can help her out.

- Nuh-uh. My turn to hold the baby.

- Oh, OK, Uncle Fin. - By all means.

- Can I hold the baby?

- Can I talk to you for a second?

- Yeah.

- The diaper bag is right there.

You've been warned.

- What's up?

How you holding up?

- Well, I don't get it.

I mean, the boy keeps us up all night.

And then when Father Ralph dunks him

like a donut, not a peep?

- He's a Carisi man. We're full of contradictions.

- Is he gonna be a cop or a prosecutor?

- Why can't he be both?

- What?

- Just realizing this is the most alone time

we've had in six months.

- Mm.

- What's with the compass?

- Oh, it... it was a gift.

- Yeah, but the letters are all wrong.

- The J is for joy, and the C is for compassion.

- And the L?

- The L is for love.

- Been pointing you in the right direction?

- Not yet.

- Did you find the paint? - Huh?

- You were supposed to find the paint with Maddie.

Where is Maddie?

- Thought she was checking out with you.

Where is...

Maddie?

- Little Nicky's really smart.

You can see it in his eyes.

- You can?

- Did you know he can count already?

- Really? Because he is six months old.

- He knew how many fingers I was holding up.

I asked, is it six? And he nodded.

Some kind of genius.

And then he stuck his tongue out.

- Oh, a comic genius. Even better.

Amanda said I could babysit sometime.

But I was, like, thinking,

maybe we could, like, adopt each other, you know?

Because Little Nicky could use an older brother.

Too many sisters. - OK, OK, we'll talk about it.

- We're talking now, aren't we?

- Mom!

Mom, the light. It's green.

Yeah, I know.

- Can we get pizza tonight? - Yep.

- Hey, she's not outside? - Maybe she took a Quik Ride.

- Peter, what are you talking about?

Why would she do that? - Did you try her phone yet?

- I've been calling. I'll try again.

Straight to voicemail. Maddie? It's Mom.

Call me as soon as you get this.

- And her GPS location's turned off.

- What? - Ma'am.

Police are on their way. - OK. Thank you.

- Police? - Yeah, I told them to call.

- It's only been a couple minutes.

We're gonna find her. - I...

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, we're gonna find her, OK?

- When was the last time you saw the girl?

- I didn't. Just the father.

- And what was he doing at the time?

- In the TV section, watching a game.

- What are we looking at?

- Maddie Flynn, 15.

Parents lost sight of her about a hour ago.

- OK, who saw her last?

- Mom swears she was with her dad.

The way he tells it, she went to check out with the mom.

- All right, any witnesses?

- It's like she vanished.

The store's pulling security footage.

- Captain, Sergeant, something you should see.

I found it stashed in the men's room.

- You think that's connected?

- Well, it couldn't hurt to run it through NIBIN,

check its provenance.

Where are the parents?

- They were arguing, so we separated them.

Dad's right there. Mom's over there.

- OK, I'll talk to her.

Mrs. Flynn. - Hi.

- Hi, I'm Captain Benson, SVU.

- You have to find her. You have to find her.

- We're doing everything that we can.

- You got anything?

- We called in a Level One, all units, and an Amber Alert.

- It's not like her to wander off.

- Is there anywhere in this neighborhood she likes to go,

like maybe a friend's house?

- We live up near Riverside Drive.

We only come down here to shop.

- Anything else you can think of?

- She has her own MetroCard.

She could be down in a tunnel.

Maybe that's why she's not picking up her phone.

- You gave the responding officer Maddie's description?

- Yeah, yeah, I have a photo.

And actually, I have another one more close-up.

- All right, that would be very helpful.

- Here. - OK.

This is your daughter?

- Yeah, yeah, that's Maddie.

- When was this photo taken?

- This morning at breakfast.

- OK.

- What? What... what is it?

- We're gonna find your daughter, Mrs. Flynn.

We're gonna find Maddie.

- I told you, it was her.

I saw Maddie Flynn sitting in that van.

- Are you sure?

In a city of 8.5 million. You know the odds of that?

- It was her, Chief. I saw her.

- OK. OK, I believe you.

Do we have an alert out on the vehicle?

- Patrol pulled traffic cams from every intersection

between here and Staten Island.

- I was coming out of the Battery Tunnel.

- Did you get a plate?

- Look, she was fine. She was normal.

There was no indication that anything was...

- It's not on you, Liv. - It is on me, Fin.

- Did you get a look at the driver?

- He was white.

He was 30s, maybe.

He was wearing a baseball cap.

- Like half the guys in this city?

I should have known better.

I should have turned around. I was just...

what is a young girl doing,

sitting in the front seat of a delivery van?

- I trust you didn't tell the parents about this?

- No. - Good. Don't.

Not a word to them or the press

until we know you actually saw what you saw.

We hear you, Chief.

- It's the mayor's office.

Teen girl goes missing in broad daylight.

Look, we know the statistics. We got 24 hours.

Find her.

McGrath. Yeah.

- I should have pulled him over.

- You had no way of knowing.

- I should have seen it in her eyes.

I should have known.

- Captain. - What is it, Bruno?

- Unis just found Maddie's cell phone.

- Yes, yes, that's... that's Maddie's.

We've been calling and calling. Where'd you find it?

- We found it on the Brooklyn side of the Battery Tunnel.

- So whoever took Maddie left Manhattan?

- Mrs. Flynn, we're doing all we can.

- Mrs. Flynn, is your daughter on social media?

- Yes, but we have parental controls.

We... we sheltered our daughter.

- I'm sure that you did. - She's young for her age.

- Anyone you know personally,

someone she trusts she might have gone with?

- What are you saying?

- We think that we may have a witness

who saw Maddie with her abductor.

- What?

- She said that Maddie didn't appear scared.

She seemed calm.

- So we're just wondering if you have any family,

any friends, anyone Maddie might have

ran into at the store?

- No, no, we just moved from San Francisco

to New York last year because of the crime.

I thought... I thought New York was gonna be safer.

- I can't imagine what you're feeling.

- No, no, you can't.

My daughter is missing!

- There's no one to blame here.

- Oh, no? No?

Well, what about NYPD?

I mean, don't you guys have cameras everywhere?

It has been two hours,

and all you've found is her damn phone!

What are you doing to help find my daughter

that I couldn't do myself?

- What did you find on the... on the cell phone?

Was she talking to someone? Was it a boy?

- We're still investigating.

- What can you tell us about your daughter's friends?

- They're all good kids, like she is.

- What about family friends,

somebody she might have ran into?

- We keep telling you people, we barely know anyone here.

- All I can think about right now...

my wife thinks this is my fault.

Well, maybe it is. I don't know.

- Guys, it has been over four hours.

Please tell me that you have something.

- She didn't use her MetroCard.

Quik Ride said they didn't pick up

a young girl at that location.

- Yeah, I went through

all the call history with the parents.

They recognized every number.

- OK, what about store cams?

- Just the family.

An angle of Maddie alone in the paint aisle.

The guy was probably casing the place

and knew all the blind spots.

- Let me guess... the blind spot is near the men's room.

- That would explain why he stashed the gun there.

- We're still checking for prints.

- Did NIBIN give us anything?

- Ballistics put a couple of shots through it.

They're checking the rifling pattern.

- Is there anything on the parents?

- Decent people, no red flags.

- Financial problems?

- No more than anyone else.

- And they're telling the truth

about their daughter's presence online.

- They have access to all her socials.

- OK, you searched her room?

- Stuffed animals, books, soccer trophies.

- There's nothing to indicate that she was being groomed

or that she had an older boyfriend?

- No. As far as I can see,

she's an innocent 15-year-old girl.

- Why don't you take a few hours, Liv?

We'll hold the fort.

- Fin, if you say that again, we're gonna have a problem.

OK?

- You had a long day.

- I let him take her.

- And you saw her face for what, a few seconds?

Through a dirty windshield?

- Not for nothing, Captain,

but a bright green energy drink van?

- It's pretty conspicuous.

Not what I would choose if I was going to abduct a kid.

- Are you guys saying that I'm imagining all of this?

Because I'm not.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, Captain!

State troopers down in Pennsylvania

just got a hit on an abandoned energy drink van.

- Energy drink van. - The same one?

- It's tough to say. - It's a known brand.

There could be hundreds of them.

- No, I was coming out of the tunnel.

The light was in my eyes.

What do we have on this vehicle?

- Reported stolen by the company

in Providence, Rhode Island, yesterday.

- OK, I want a full workup of the interior...

prints, hairs, fiber, luminol.

- On it, Captain.

- You know we're looking for a missing teenage girl.

- Yeah, I got the alert.

- Is there any sign that she was here?

Any sign at all?

How long has that camera been broken?

- Clerk says some teens vandalized it

a few weeks back.

- He must have switched vehicles.

- It's a busy road.

- Might be a long shot, but can't hurt

to get a list of the drink company's employees.

- And the security footage from the camera

wherever the van was stolen.

- This could be the van.

She was looking right at me.

- Well, if she was in this van, we're gonna get a hit.

Prints, hair...

- Fin!

Fin!

Smart girl.

- You were right.

- She was here.

Maddie was here.

- The lab confirms that the hairs in the van

and the DNA on the bracelet are indeed a match for Maddie.

- Evidence she was in the vehicle.

It's a good start.

Now, is there anything on the driver?

- It's a work truck, so multiple prints

on the steering wheel, no matches in the system.

- OK, the gun you recovered from the men's room,

anything more?

- ATF's still looking into it.

- Still looking into it.

So for now, we have nothing on our perp.

- Other than my useless visual ID?

There's no prints, and there's no DNA.

- Maybe the guy was wearing gloves.

- I didn't notice his hands.

- OK, is there anything on the traffic cams

besides the plates?

- Got something.

We pulled ring cams from the van's route

out of the tunnel, a few grainy shots of the driver.

Is that the guy you saw?

- Yeah. - How sure are you?

- I'm sure.

- Are these clear enough to run

through facial recognition?

- It's worth a shot.

- Call in the parents. Show them.

See if we get lucky.

- The energy drink company reported the van stolen?

- Yeah, but no video on the theft.

- What about the other employees?

We ran everyone who had access?

- A couple of mis-dee's. No felony records.

No one on the registry.

- We asked for voluntary DNA. Two guys said no.

- And what idiot doesn't want to clear their name

on a child abduction case?

- One that doesn't trust the system.

- Or a guilty one.

- I can ask for a court order on the two holdouts

if you can get me probable cause.

- I also need phone records, emails, social media accounts.

- Yeah, of course.

Now I'm gonna ask something of you.

- What?

- Stop beating yourself up over Maddie Flynn.

- That's easier said than done.

- Yeah, that's... that's Maddie's.

Her best friend gave her that bracelet

before we moved from San Francisco.

She wore it every day.

I almost don't want to ask.

Where... where did you find it?

- We found it in an abandoned van in Pennsylvania,

but we are following some very strong leads, Mrs. Flynn, OK?

We're tracking the van's route.

We're tracking the driver.

- Is she still alive?

- We have no reason to believe that she's not.

Your daughter is very resourceful.

She left this bracelet for us to find.

- What's this?

- Footage of the driver.

Do you have any idea who that could be?

- Could be anybody.

- Techs are working on the image.

- Anyone you could think of that was paying

particular attention to Maddie?

- I already told you, we just moved here.

We barely know anyone.

- Neighbor, maybe somebody doing work

on your house recently?

- No and no.

- Your daughter plays soccer, right?

- Yeah, why?

- Maybe a coach or a pervy dad that shows up to all the games?

- You think this is sexual?

- These guys are out there.

- Mr. Flynn, how often do you go to that store?

- Once a week, maybe?

- Whoever took Maddie knew their way

around those cameras.

- What are you saying?

- She may have been targeted.

- There was an older guy

watching the girls' soccer practice last year.

Some of the moms complained.

- Anyone call the cops?

- Gordon Franks.

Local precinct spoke to him three months ago

about hanging around the girls' practice field.

- What happened?

- Guy claimed he was just a soccer fan.

- The precinct cop let him go?

- They didn't even check his phone.

- NYPD. Open up.

- Help you?

- You Gordon Franks?

- Yes. What's this about?

- We're the ones asking the questions.

- I'd offer you a seat, but...

- That's, OK.

- So you like watching young girls play soccer?

- I enjoy sports.

- Where were you yesterday, Sunday, around 2:00 p.m.?

- Here.

- Was anybody with you?

- My cat.

- Fin!

Velasco!

- Where is she?

Where's Maddie?

- I don't know who you're talking about.

- This girl.

Where's Maddie?

- She's very good at soccer.

- Get the dogs back here.

We'll never find anything in this mess.

- I've never done anything wrong.

Taking photos of strangers makes me feel closer to people.

- Where's Maddie?

- Like I said, I don't know who that is.

- The girl you're stalking. - She has a name.

- OK, and we searched the rest of the house?

- And the yard and the shed.

Dogs didn't pick up any trace of Maddie.

- This guy's a perv, but it's a big leap

from taking pictures to kidnapping.

- For what it's worth, the guy doesn't even have

a valid driver's license.

- Did he post any photos of her online?

- Not that we can tell, but TARU is still

going through his computer.

- Well, if they don't find anything else,

I gotta tell you, it's gonna be a stretch

to bring charges against this guy.

The images I saw? - Hey, hey!

- They barely even qualify as street photography,

let alone kiddie porn.

- I want to just...

- Step back.

- Put that down!

- Hey, hold it right there.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, wait...

- I'm Captain Benson.

What's going on?

- I found her, the missing girl.

- Put her on the floor.

- Step back.

- Hey, step back.

Where did you get this?

- Cut. Going again.

Back to one.

- See, I told you.

This is our psycho killer.

- What is it, a crazy lunch lady?

- It's called "Cafeteria Carnage."

She kills the kids and feeds them to each other.

- Let me guess, straight to video.

- So why'd you need a latex doll that looks like our vic?

- This movie is super low budget.

I needed 50 kids for the big finale shooting tomorrow.

- So you got sex dolls?

- Well, they're cheaper than prop dummies.

And trust me, nobody on the production

is using them like that.

- Shooting's shut down. All the dolls are now evidence.

- Whoa, no, you... you guys can't just shut us down.

You guys are treating me like a perp.

I'm a hero.

As soon as I saw that girl on the news,

I brought the doll straight down to you guys.

- Wanna be a real hero?

Tell us where you got these dolls.

- I thought that I'd seen everything on this job.

- A first for me too.

Underage sex doll created specifically for pedophiles?

- I know.

If we can track down the seller,

what can we even charge him with?

- Sickening as this is,

it's not a crime to sell a latex doll.

- An anatomically-correct teen girl,

who looks exactly like our victim?

- Whoever manufactured this thing,

they did it well before she was kidnapped.

Either way, they're just gonna claim coincidence.

Blonde hair, blue eyes...

- The bracelet is not a coincidence.

- The manufacturer got her likeness from somewhere.

Question is, where?

- Maddie's parents are here.

- It's gonna be a tough conversation.

You want me to stick around?

- It never hurts to have an ADA in the room.

- For them or for you?

- How about both?

- Oh, my God. How did this happen?

This is the exact same outfit from her birthday.

- Eileen, I thought we agreed

to keep her image off social media.

- We're not here to blame anyone.

We're here to find Maddie.

But this can't just be a coincidence.

- What do you mean?

- There might be a connection between these dolls

and whoever took your daughter.

- Are you saying that the same man

who used this doll kidnapped my daughter?

- Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves, OK?

But what we do need to find out is who saw this photo.

- OK, my account is private, though.

- Well, you may think that.

But when it comes to the internet,

all bets are off.

- You people seem to know

a lot more than you're telling us!

- Peter, just... - Is our daughter alive or not?

- Yes.

- How do you know that?

- What... what I think Captain Benson is trying to say

is there might be a reason that your daughter

was targeted specifically.

- And to whoever took her,

she's likely more valuable to them alive.

- Which is why we need access to your Instagram,

your password.

- Our analysts can find out who liked this photo,

who shared this photo...

- It's no one I... I know.

- At this point of the investigation, Mrs. Flynn,

we cannot rule anyone out.

We found the seller.

- Hey, you can't be in here.

- Actually, we can.

- Captain, there's more boxes over here.

- Velasco.

Open this one.

It's Maddie.

- There's more underage dolls back here, Captain.

- Where do these dolls come from?

- Taiwan. Same as all the others.

- I'm talking about this one.

- Best-seller. The Birthday Girl.

- Take everything and arrest him.

- Come on. Turn around.

- Anatomically modern human beings have been around

for about 300,000 years.

And for most of that time, criminal motivation was

to satisfy the most basic needs.

Food, water...

- Shelter. - That too.

What else? - Mating?

- That's another basic need.

But somewhere along the line,

even that basic need got corrupted,

probably around the time of Jack the Ripper.

Now, that is the dawn of sex crimes investigation.

So how about for our next assignment,

you guys figure out why Jack the Ripper did what he did

from a Jungian perspective.

All right, see you all next week.

- I even want to come back next week.

- Well, you can guest lecture any time you want to.

OK, thank you.

Once I find Maddie Flynn.

- The missing girl.

Yeah, Carisi said that you saw her

on the way home from the baptism.

Are you OK?

- Not really.

She was wearing one just like this.

- And you're not taking that off

until she comes home.

Any leads?

- Carisi told you about the sex dolls?

- Yeah.

Did you find out who had access to Maddie's image?

- TARU is hitting a dead end on the mother's Instagram.

- How many dolls were in that warehouse?

- A few dozen.

So there's no saying how many others are out there.

- Right, but one was used on a movie set as a prop.

- But nobody on that movie set had a record.

Nobody had... nobody was on the sex registry.

- And there was no DNA on it?

- There's no indication that that doll was used

as anything other than a prop.

- And you're tracking the other...

the other buyers on that list

who maybe weren't using the doll as prop.

- A case of criminal sexual escalation?

- Most porn works that way, doesn't it?

- Sometimes you smoke a cigarette,

and a year later, you're smoking two packs a day.

- Because you need it to get that high.

Pedophiles, they can't...

they can't always control themselves.

- Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- Our perp is on that buyers list.

- Our perp?

- Well, you're the one who's gotta find him.

I'm glad if I could help.

- Don't make me miss you more than I already do.

I'll see you around, Professor.

- How many of these things do you have?

- Only two. Ava was lonely.

- OK, bag them both, please.

- Wait, is this really necessary?

- I guess you don't watch the news.

- No, it's all depressing.

- There's a 15-year-old girl missing.

Her name is Maddie Flynn, and she looks

exactly like this doll you have here.

- I don't know anything about a missing girl.

- Well, then you won't mind giving us prints

and a sample of your DNA.

- In the closet in Sharon's old room?

- It's not what you think.

- Sam, how long have you been keeping this secret from me?

- I just... cuddled with her.

- Ugh. You're lying.

- Well, if he is, ma'am, we're gonna find that out.

- I haven't done anything illegal.

- You're right.

As of now, you're not under arrest.

- As of now? - Yeah.

But I need you to come down to the station

and answer some questions for us.

- I've never seen that before.

- We have your credit card transaction history.

- And a list of the buyers.

- OK, so just tell us where the doll is.

- Or we can tear this house down to the studs

looking for it.

- He's getting away! - It's OK.

- Stop right there!

- You gotta be kidding me. - I got it.

- Hal. Hal, get down.

Get down. You're gonna hurt yourself.

It's over.

Just tell us where the doll is.

- It's not what you think.

- Just show us! - Hey, come on.

Careful. Be careful.

- OK.

- Let's go. Let's go.

- Bag everything.

- Hal, why would you throw her out?

- I... I had to.

She's the reason that all this happened.

- Do you know where Maddie is?

- No.

But I know who took her.

- When I bought her, I didn't know that she was a real girl.

- So how'd you find out?

- My friend Mark.

He saw the photo of my doll that I posted.

We're in the same chat room. - OK.

So we're going through your computer

and your phone right now.

- How did Mark know the doll was based on a real girl?

- Mark's smart.

He put it together.

- Was it his idea to take Maddie?

- No. No, it was mine.

Just knowing that she was real,

I couldn't stop thinking about her.

The real version of my doll.

I wanted her.

- And who actually took Maddie?

Was it your friend Mark?

- No, someone he knew.

I don't know the guy's name, but I paid him $8,000.

Then I changed my mind.

I... I called him. I told him to cancel.

But it was too late, right?

- Yeah, it was.

- I thought he would just take her home to her parents.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't want to hurt anyone real.

That's why I bought that doll.

Can I go home now?

- No, Hal.

That's not how this works.

- Captain, TARU got a number off Hal's phone,

maybe the kidnapper.

We were able to track it through the carrier.

- I didn't know that was the missing girl from the news.

- Right, but you saw her, right?

She was OK?

- Yeah, I... I thought the guy was her father.

- Hold up.

Go ahead.

Maddie?

Maddie?

- He dumped the SIM card.

- Clear!

Velasco, Bruno, help me.

Help me.

Pull her out.

Oh, my God.

It's not her.

- Who's got Narcan?

- You're OK.

You're safe now.

You're safe now.

All right, I'll see you guys back at the station.

- Captain Benson.

- Can I help you? - I just wanna say thank you.

- For what?

- Finding my missing girl, Tanya.

SVU Detective Sloane Parrish,

Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.

- Nice to meet you.

All the guys on my squad

thought she was just another runaway.

- Except you?

- To be honest, I'm getting really sick

of shouting into the wind.

- Believe me, I understand.

You know what, why don't you come back to the city with me,

and we can interview Tanya together?

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- Hey, Tanya, how are you feeling?

- Good.

- So this is Detective Parrish.

And she has been looking for you for quite some time.

- Mm-hmm.

- Now, the doctors told us that the amount of fent

that you had in your system was nearly deadly.

- I'm glad Captain Benson got there when she did.

- Are you gonna arrest me?

- No. No, no, no.

We want to help you.

And we think you can help us.

- So the motel manager told us that you were with a man.

Can you tell us his name?

- George.

He's from Canada.

- George from Canada.

- Yeah, that's all I know.

- Can you tell us how you came in contact with him?

- We met partying on the train a few months back.

- Like, the subway?

- No, the one that goes cross-country, Amtrak.

He... he likes to ride it for days sometimes.

I met him in Jacksonville.

I think he could tell that I was an addict

from the burns on my fingers.

He told me that he could get me high.

But I thought he meant rock.

He gave me fent instead.

- So what else can you tell us about him?

His hair color, his age, build?

- Late 30s. - Mm-hmm.

- Brown hair.

Are you asking all this because you want to know

about that girl he took?

- Yeah.

Her name is Maddie Flynn. You saw her?

- Yeah, a few days ago.

George went out and said he was gonna make 8 grand.

Came back with her and the money.

She was so out of it.

I asked him what he was doing with her.

- And what happened next?

- We got into a fight when he said he was splitting.

- Yeah, why is that?

- He said he couldn't take both of us.

- Did he threaten you or her?

Did he use a gun?

- No, he wasn't violent like that,

and I never saw a gun.

After the fight, he did get me high

to calm my nerves.

Next thing I know...

I woke up in that bag.

- Hey, Tanya, you're safe now.

You're safe.

- There you go.

There you go.

You're safe.

Well, now I know why Maddie was so calm

in the energy drink van.

This guy likes to drug his victims.

- He groomed Tanya. Got her hooked on fent.

- Does Tanya know what happened to Maddie?

- No, only that she was in the motel room

with George-from-Canada.

Apparently, he has a history of being on the run.

- Which means he knows how to stay hidden.

- And Tanya said that he likes to ride Amtrak,

which is where he met her.

- Well, I'll call and find out if a girl

matching Maddie's description was on any route

in the past two days.

- You manage to reach out to Tanya's mother?

- NYPD tried, but they couldn't get a hold of her.

- I have a good relationship with her.

- Yeah, why don't you try to call her?

- Yeah.

- Chief, what's going on?

- We found a girl who'd been missing for more than a year?

- Yeah. - One-P-P wants

a press conference now.

- Maddie's still missing.

What is this, some kind of victory?

- Well, it is a victory.

Maybe not the one you want,

but it's the one that's in front of us.

- Tanya Garcia went missing from Paramus, New Jersey,

over a year ago.

But now thanks to the tireless work and dedication

of the NYPD and Bergen County SVU,

she is home and reunited with her mother.

- I'm honored to wear the badge,

but my duty doesn't end when a case is closed.

They all stay with you,

whether innocence is saved or lost.

My goal is for the world to be measured

by how safe it is for the innocent.

After all these years, I've come to accept

that maybe it's not possible.

But I still have a duty to hope.

- There are other... - No! What about my daughter?

What about my daughter? - Eileen!

- You promised me you'd find my daughter!

- And as I said to you on the phone last night,

I am still working this case.

No.

- Honey, honey, please, you're causing a scene.

- Someone needs to!

Where is Maddie?

- Come on.

- Maddie! - Come on.

- Come on.
