The following story is fictional and does
not depict any actual person or event.

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.

Almost there.

- 21...
- All right, make it 10.

Ooh, I'm done.

- That's it, that's it, baby.
- You're gonna quit on me already?

That's it.
I can't do any more.

Good job, dad.
Hydrate.

All this working out, this got anything
to do with that boy you're crushing on?

Maybe.

- Maybe.
- Maybe.

Hey...

don't grow up too fast, okay?

- Dad?
- Hmm?

What's a Dallas headhunter?

Tessa, it's time to go.

I'm sorry, Mr. Sennet,
we're gonna have to cut this visit short.

Okay, now...

that's the third time this month
you've bitten into my only visit.

Tessa's grades are slipping.
She needs the time to study.

There's nothing wrong with my grades.

I got one D on a pop quiz.

Let's go. / I'm entitled to another
half an hour with my kid.

Your presence is enough of an insult
without you making a power play.

Take care yourself.
Promise?

Yeah.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

I know you're angry and I'm sorry,
but this isn't easy for any of us.

- I'm not the bad guy.
- Is daddy?

He has some issues he's trying to
deal with and some he's not.

I can't trust him.

No, no, let me go! no!

Why didn't you report this last night?

I had to wait until my daughter
went to school.

She's only 12.

So what happened next?

He dragged me into the bedroom, then...

he raped me.

Then after he was finished,
he said he was sorry.

- Like he always is.
- You know him?

He's my soon-to-be ex-husband.

Tessa's father.

He raped me last night, and my daughter
can't know anything about it.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON NBC: 2007/01/09

Walk us through last night.

Tessa visited her father yesterday.

She got home around 5:30, 6.

I got the silent treatment through dinner

until she went to her room,
where she stayed.

Something happened to upset her?

She thinks I'm keeping
her from her father.

A social worker supervises the visits.

Yeah, yeah. Now, why is that?

Did your husband abuse your daughter?

Does alcohol and drug addiction
qualify as abuse?

By themselves, no.

Well, it's a good thing
the judge disagreed with you

and gave me a protection order.

Miles was in my house.

He attacked me.
Why haven't you arrested him?

As soon as we finish taking your
statement, we're gonna talk to him.

We're also gonna need
to speak with your daughter.

She doesn't know anything.
She was asleep.

Well, there's no sign of forced entry,
so your husband had to have the key.

Tessa didn't give it to him.

You seem pretty sure about that.

Miles isn't supposed to
know where we live.

We've had to move so many times,

Tessa knows if her father ever found out,
we'd only have to move again.

There's no way she'd risk it.

Even if she were angry with you?

She's just a little girl
who loves both her parents.

You question her about this,

she's going to feel that she has to
choose between the both of us.

And I can't have that.

She's been through enough.

Please, keep my daughter out of it.

Well, if she didn't give him the keys,
who did?

Miles Sennet's on a business trip.
He'll be back tonight.

That's convenient.

Well, according to his boss,
it's been on the books for over a month.

What evidence do we have?

CSU found hair and fibers
at the victim's house.

they're running them now,

positive for intercourse,
negative for fluids.

Which means he wore a condom.

Doesn't sound like any husband I know.

Well, unless it was premeditated
and he went there to humiliate her.

And you think the child
told dad where they lived?

I Think that she's angry
and she misses her father.

Enough to give him
the address and a key?

Only Tessa can tell us that,

but, you know, we can't talk to her
without parental consent.

I'll check with Novak,
see if we can get around it.

Any DV calls to the Sennet house
when they were together?

Yeah, two.
First call, no dispensation.

Second one, Miles put
his hand through a wall.

Court ordered anger management,

but there's no history of ER visits
for either wife or child.

I grew up with an alcoholic mother,

and, uh, abuse doesn't have
to be physical to cause damage.

That's true, but if that's all it takes,
there'd be a hell of a lot of families

with protection orders
and supervised visits.

How long has the RO been in effect?

Almost a year.
It expires in a week.

Well, those are renewed annually.
When's the court hearing?

That happened last month.
No extension granted.

Let's see if the judge can tell us why.

FAMILY COURT PART 37
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6

There were no grounds to issue the order
of protection in the first place,

but these days jurists
feel so pressured by power Nazis,

they just hand them out like candy.

I read the court transcript.

Valerie Sennet feared for her life
and you just dismissed her.

She probably watched too many
women-in-jeopardy movies.

There's no history of violence
abuse in this case.

Well, then explain the assault last night.

Her husband raped her.

If you had the evidence to prove that,
you wouldn't be here.

Or do you always jump to conclusions?

It's our job to believe
the victims, your honor.

I work in family court. It's my job
to believe whoever's lying the least.

Valerie Sennet has no reason to lie.

Sure, she does.
For the spoils of war.

Accuse your husband of abuse
and tip the balance in your favor.

The silver bullet strategy.

Also known as sexual assault in divorce.

It's very popular these days.
You have personal experience?

A divorce lawyer suggested
my wife go in that direction,

but she didn't hire him.

Well, most men aren't so lucky.

I'm not saying there aren't
terrified women in need of protection.

But there are a lot of vindictive ones
who abuse the system

under the guide of a divorce strategy.

I think your alleged victim is
one of them.

Do you have any evidence to support that,
or are you just making it as you go along?

Accusing me of judicial misconduct
without proof

will get you time in a cell, detective.

If I were you,
I'd watch my tongue.

You don't bait a judge.

Valerie Sennet was raped.
End of story.

You seem awfully convinced of that.

And I think your current situation
is coloring your judgment.

My current situation?

You don't normally empathize
with the suspect.

It's not empathy. It's outrage.
The guy never touched his wife.

Until last night, Elliot.
You saw the bruises.

That doesn't prove rape.

Is that your gut talking?

Miles Sennet never abuses his wife
or his daughter,

but he gets punished for it anyway?

Now, how is that right?

I've been covering the Sennets
for the past six months.

I pick Tessa up, or I stay for the visit,
I take her home.

Why all the cloak and dagger, Ms. Jenner?

At first, I thought Valerie
was being overprotective.

But then Miles started
showing up at her apartment,

claiming he wanted
to see his daughter every day.

He does that, he gets pinched
for violating the protection order.

There's no records of any arrests.

Oh, he stays 500 feet back,

but it still looks
like harassment to me.

And she's afraid of him
especially when he's drunk and high.

That's why she moved so often.

You ever see him under the influence?

No, but I can understand
how Valerie feels.

Her husband's got a nasty temper.

Define nasty.

I had to cut a few visits short,
he got in my face.

Maybe 'cause that's not your call.

Look, I don't need this.

I gotta go sit a guy down
who spanks his son.

That's not against the law either.

It should be.

Violence just begets more violence.

Besides, there was a complaint.
You need anything else?

Yeah, the name of your supervisor.

Go to hell.

What are you gonna do,
write her a ticket?

I'm filing a formal complaint.

Cutting visits short is
an abuse of her power.

Unless Miles was actually
harassing his wife.

P.S. 388
135 EAST 84TH STREET
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6

You sure you want to do this?

Look, it's the only way we're gonna
find out if Miles was in the house.

Tessa, these are detectives
Benson and Stabler.

They'd like to ask you some questions.

Questions about what?

About your father.

Have a seat.

Is he in trouble?

Why, Tessa?
That happen a lot?

Well, my dad's had
some problems in the past.

You know, with booze and pills.

So what's wrong now?

Does your dad know
where you live? / No.

When you go to visit him, do you leave
your backpack hanging around?

I guess.

- Does he have access to it?
- Why?

- Did you give your dad your address?
- I already told you no.

- Where do you keep your house keys?
- In my backpack.

Tessa, if you told your father
where you live,

nobody's gonna be angry. Nobody.

But we do need to straighten this out.

I didn't tell him anything,

but you obously don't believe me.

Did you see your father
in the house last night?

No.

Tessa, wait outside.

I thought I made myself clear.

Valerie, we're trying to help you.

We didn't tell her anything
about the assault.

We just need to know if she
saw her father in your house.

- And did she?
- She claims she didn't.

- So why don't you believe her?
- She's hiding something.

Look, rape is a serious charge.
You've got to let us do our job.

You've already questioned her now,
and she doesn't know anything.

Stay away from Tessa.

Tessa knows her father was
in that house.

She's protecting him.

She's protecting somebody.
I'm just not convinced it's Miles.

Every time I try to get my life
together... / Just take it easy.

No, you take it easy.
She took my child.

She took my bank accounts,
the property.

And now she wants my damn freedom?

Sit down. / How much more
of this do I have to take?

Sit down.

Just have a seat.

Sit down.

All right.

Your wife says you raped her.

Now, we want to talk to you.

'cause we want to hear
your side of the story.

Do you understand?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I am a recovering alcoholic
and a drug addict.

And also a lousy husband.
But I am no rapist.

I never touched Valerie
without an invitation.

So you're saying the sex was consensual?

If she had sex, it wasn't with me.

Maybe she said yes and then no,
and you got your signals crossed.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
There was no sex.

So where were you last night?

Home alone.

That's not gonna cut it.

You're gonna have to come with us
so we can straighten this out.

And just how am I supposed to do that

if there's no one that can
vouch for my whereabouts?

You willing to take a poly?

Absolutely.

You need to think about this, Mrs. Sennet.

I know what I'm doing.
I just wanted to put a stop to this.

Miles is free to go.
Valerie Sennet just recanted.

Stupid, vindictive bitch.

No, you're the stupid bitch!

Bitch, how do you use
damn talking like that?

You came into my home
and attacked me!

- Do us a favor and get cancer!
- I made you!

Get some control or
I'll handcuff you right here.

Officer, take him out of here.

Calm down. / Stay with him
till he's off the premises.

Down the back stairs.

Valerie only recanted to stop us
from talking to her daughter again.

- What's your take?
- Too soon to tell.

The guy's a time bomb,
and you know it. / He's a hothead,

but the problem is,
they've both got an agenda here.

- Which is?
- They're trying to destroy each other.

Your wife called.

Lab came back with a match to
the hairs found at the crime scene.

- Belongs to Miles Sennet.
- Oh,

so much for him
not knowing where they live.

That doesn't prove he was in the house.

Where were the hairs collected?

Daughter's room, hallway, common area.

- Any prints?
- Smudge, nothing usable.

Tessa was in her dad's house.
She could've tracked that stuff home.

To several different locations?
You're reaching.

And you've got blinders on.

I'm the longest relationship
you've ever had with a man.

You have no idea how bad things can get
when a couple goes sour.

And eight years in this unit tells me
that I don't need to be married

to know when an abusive man is escalating.

Since we don't have
a corroborating witness

that puts Miles Sennet
in the victim's house,

no judge will sign a warrant.

Then let's arrest Valerie Sennet
for lying to law enforcement

and filing a bogus police report.

That's revictimizing a rape victim, Elliot.

Well, she recanted.

Now, she's either a victim
or she's not.

- You can't have it both ways.
- This is payback.

You're just mad 'cause you think
she's abusing the system.

No, I think if she's facing jail time,

she'll let us talk to Tessa
to save her own skin.

I'm not comfortable arresting
the mother to make her kid talk.

If Valerie lied about being raped,
then she should be charged.

If not, then he goes right back
on the books

and we get what we need
to nail the son of a bitch.

It's your call, counselor.

Pick her up.

And just to cover ourselves,

have Huang do the interview with the girl
in case mom sticks to her guns.

You two think you can work this together?

'cause if you can't,
I will reassign it.

That's fine.

Valerie Sennet.

I've already talked to you, captain.
What do you want?

You're under arrest for lying to police
and filing a false report.

- Let go of me!
- Mom!

- It's okay.
- What's the matter?

It's all right. / We can do
this the easy way or hard way.

- It's up to you. Let's go.
- No. Don't touch me.

Don't, Valerie. Listen, listen, listen.
You need to calm down.

You're only making matters worse, okay?

why don't you think
about your daughter?

- It's the best thing.
- Mom?

It's okay, Tessa. It's just...
Just come with me.

What's gonna happen now?

That depends on what your mother decides.

That's not an answer.

No one talks to me.

Everybody treats me like a kid.

Okay.

How do you want to be treated?

Like I have a brain.

Like I can handle things.

Do you know how many times
I found my father passed out?

How many times I took
his stash and flushed it?

Did that make him angry?

Yeah.

He'd yell and scream.

Then go get more.

Did he ever hit you?

No. Not ever.

He'd break things or hit the wall,
but not us.

You know...

your mother says that he attacked her.

That's not true.

Valerie, did he rape you?

I don't want to talk about that.
I want a lawyer.

And I don't have to
talk to you without one.

Fine, then we'll just
give you some information.

You're being charged
with two class A misdemeanors.

That's a $1,000 fine and up to one year
in jail for each count.

You can probably plead it down.

The bottom line is,
while you're locked up,

your husband will get
custody of your daughter.

Some divorced couples fight a lot.

Did your parents ever get physical?

They fought all the time.

They still do,

but my father never touched my mother.

Well, we know that your father
was in the house that night.

How did he get there?

Look, I don't know
how he knew where we lived,

and I didn't give him my key.

He was just in my room
wanting to talk.

About what?

I asked him what a headhunter was
when Ms. Jenner cut our visit short.

I heard my mom talking
on the phone to one in Dallas.

I was scared we'd be moving again.

And you told your father about this?

He was really mad too.

Even when I stole his drugs,
he never looked like that.

Miles was angry, wasn't he?

Valerie, did he rape you or not?

Yes.

Then why did you recant?

I just wanted it to stop.

I didn't want Tessa hurt.

Did the kid cop to giving dad access?

No, she insists that she didn't.

She says that he just appeared
suddenly in her room.

I don't think she's lying.

Now that we have enough
for a search warrant,

we need to know how Miles Sennet
got in that house.

APARTMENT OF MILES SENNET
273 WEST 93RD STREET
TYUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7

One divorce was enough for me.

I can't figure out
how you did it four times.

You've got to play to win.

Here. Check this out.

It's an instruction manual

for a wireless GPS transponder
with a cell phone and laptop tracking.

Makes it easy for you to follow somebody
without keeping them in sight.

Yeah, this model was designed
to be attached to a car,

but Miles doesn't have one.

Well, who has a vehicle
and access to both homes?

The social worker.

You find any bugs in Sara's car?

Nothing yet.

Oh, I take it back.

Looks like pay dirt.

No one would've found this
unless there was a flat.

Any prints?

Looks like a partial.

And two pristine hits with a ridge detail.

- Oh, What now?
- Excuse me.

Miles Sennet, you're under arrest
for rape and stalking. Turn around.

- I didn't rape my wife.
- No?

Hey!

You have a problem?

It's just nice to see someone else
with an anger issue.

- You want to read him his rights?
- No. He's all yours.

- I swear I didn't touch her.
- Well, swear on what?

The Bible, God, your daughter?

You have the right
to keep your mouth shut.

I wouldn't touch Valerie
if you paid me.

I don't even talk to her
unless I have to.

I have every reason to be angry.

Which is why you raped her.

Not that...

that's not true.

She got an order of protection
against you.

You blamed her for your supervised
visits with your daughter.

It was her fault.
It was time for her to pay up.

Miles, your daughter
puts you in the house.

I went to the house.

I went to the house
'cause my visit was cut short

and I wanted to talk to my daughter.

But why this time?
Your visits had been cut short before.

Tessa asked me about a Dallas headhunter.

Now, if Valerie was gonna leave the state,
I had every right to know.

So you attached a GPS unit that you just
happened to have lying around the house

to the social worker's car,
so you could finish a conversation?

That's your story?

That's what happened.

Okay, then what?

When Tessa told me
they were probably moving,

I just lost it.

I heard the shower running,
I went in,

and I yanked Valerie out of the tub.
I was so pissed.

How could she do this to me?

How could she take away
the most important thing in my life,

the only good thing?

So you wanted to teach her a lesson.

So you draged her into that bedroom,
and you raped her.

No! That did not happen!

Yeah, I shook the snot out of her.

I shook her, and I left.

You lied about knowing where they live.

You lied about being in their home,
and you're lying now.

- I know it looks bad. I know.
- Yeah.

And I admit, in that moment,
I knew I'd be better off if she was dead.

But I felt sick about that.

And I got the hell out of it.

Miles, you've got a problem here

'cause you said
you never touched Valerie

and now you just confessed
to assault with intent.

Look, man, I love my kid, okay?

And I don't want to lose her.

If she moves away,when am I gonna
see her again? Thanksgiving?

Maybe Christmas?

Valerie treats her like
a hostage in a negotiation,

something to twist me with.

What was I supposed to do?

Valerie said he dragged her
into the bedroom.

Why not attack her in the bathroom
where it all started?

Maybe it was too close
to his daughter's room.

No sign of transfer.

I mean, if he fought, dragged,
and raped her, where's the evidence?

fibers, fluids?

Well, we've found less evidence
and gotten convictions before.

And she has the bruises on her arm.

Yeah, but that supports Miles' story.

He pulled her out of the shower,
he shook her.

That's what he said.
And then he left.

Look, that's what you want to believe.
This guy is dangerous.

He goes from a man
who's never touched his wife

to shaking her? What's next?

The daughter never witnessed
any violence.

That's unusual when there's
physical abuse in the home.

She's already lied for her father once.

How do we know that she hasn't
been protecting him for awhile?

That's not part of the pattern.

In physically abusive environments,

the boys tend to put
themselves in harm's way

to deflect the attention
away from the mother,

while the girls cling to them,
identifying with them as targets.

Are you saying there was no abuse?

I don't know if he made verbal threats,
or assaulted the victim in her bathroom.

You're never gonna be able
to prove a behavioral pattern.

It just isn't there.

It doesn't matter.

Valerie Sennet says she was raped.

Her husband admits to assaulting her,
and there's evidence of intercourse.

Maybe she had sex with someone else.

This is a hostile divorce.

Crying rape is a pretty efficient way
to get rid of an unwanted husband.

When did you start working
for the defense?

The moment you were more interested
in an easy close than the truth.

My only interest is in being
an advocate for rape victims.

Now, I thought that's what
we do here. / Mm-hmm.

That's what we all do.

Olivia can reinterview the victim

while you dig discreetly
into her background.

Make sure there are no surprises.

Oh, so now we're putting victims on trial.
Good to know.

Well, a statement with this many red
flags, no good cop would overlook it.

Especially not one with a dying marriage
and a history of violence.

I thought you said
they were working it out.

Benson.

Yeah, hi.

No. He, uh, he just left.

Where?

When'd you get back?

It's been about a month now.

What happened to the stunner?

Dani Beck?

She transferred back to her old unit.

- Why'd she leave?
- I have no idea.

It makes me feel better
to know you didn't like her either.

Kathy, what's this about?

I just want to know
how everything's going.

With Elliot?

He's what we have in common.

Why do you care, Kathy?
You're getting divorced.

A piece of paper doesn't
stop you from caring.

- Not that he'll sign it.
- Look, you...

you can get a divorce without,
without consent.

It's expensive and
takes a lot more time.

- Look, Kathy...
- Do you think this is easy, Olivia,

talking to you about the state
of my marriage?

It's none of my business.

Do you have any idea

how much I used to worry that
he preferred spending time with you

- than with me and the kids?
- Come on now.

You know that's not true.

Elliot talked about you all the time.

The truth is, you know things about him
I will never understand.

That's what I'm counting on.

You want me to try to convince him
to sign the divorce papers.

You're his partner.

You give him stability.

Elliot can't move on until he feels
like he's on solid ground.

Excuse me, miss?

- Hi.
- Hi.

Detective Stabler, NYPD.

Do you know this woman?

Yeah, that's Valerie.

I live across the street.
Denise Fielding.

Denise, you two friendly?

Sure. Coffee and gossip.
She in some kind of trouble?

No, not at all.

I was just wondering, have you seen
any men coming or going from her house?

- Sounds like trouble to me.
- No.

Yeah, no, I really see Val
with her daughter most of the time,

except one night she was with a man

who she introduced
from her attorney's office.

It doesn't sound
like you bought that.

I'm sure it's true, but it was kind
of late for a professional visit,

if you know what I mean.

Do you remember his name?

Phil?
Phillip?

- Yeah, I never caught his last name.
- Mm-hmm.

- Sorry.
- That's okay. Thank you.

ARRAIGNMENT PART 46
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9

Docket number 71112.

People V. Miles Sennet,
one count rape in the first degree,

two counts stalking in the first degree,
one count breaking and entering.

How do you plead?

Not guilty.

The People ask for bail
to be set at $100,000.

We have no objection, your honor.

There is an existing order of protection
against this defendant.

Do I have that right, Ms. Novak?

It expires tomorrow, your honor.

And not only did he violate it,

but he is accused of violating
the complainant as well. / Yes.

Your honor, if I may, I'd like to...

When I'm done.

- Bail is set at $500,000.
- Objection.

That's excessive, your honor.

I'm surprised at you, Ms. Novak.

Women have been preyed upon enough.

There is a restraining order in place,

but it has done nothing to stop
this defendant from hunting her down.

Perhaps he needs more of an incentive.

$500,000. Next case.

Docket number 73995.

Well, I didn't expect that.

Valerie?

He'll never raise that kind of money.

Well, then he won't be able
to hurt you, will he?

We need sit down and
go over your statement.

I, I can't do this right now.

That doesn't bode well.

- Good morning.
- Hey.

I'm on hold.

Did you find anything surprising
about our victim?

You know, I was surprised to find out
about Valerie's boyfriend

that she forgot to tell us about.

Yes. Yeah, I'm looking for one
of your employees.

Uh, his first name is Phillip.

I don't know his last name.

But he's either a lawyer, paralegal,
or an investigator on the Sennet divorce.

Great.
You got my number?

I'll wait to hear your call.
Thanks.

Valerie Sennet was just attacked
in the street.

- Where is she?
- The burn unit at Cornell.

She's got third and fourth-degree burns

through the dermis, fascia and muscle,
extending to the bone.

Start another line of ringer,
and push 750 milligrams of cefuroxime.

I smell gasoline.

She was saturated with it.

- Is she in a lot of pain?
- Her nerves are gone.

If she makes it through the night,
she'll have severe pain tomorrow.

Valerie... Valerie, can you tell us
who did this?

Miles did this.

She shouldn't be talking.
Her lungs are burned.

- What are, what are her chances?
- It doesn't look good.

Look, that's why we need
her dying declaration.

Fine. Just be quick.

Valerie?

Valerie, what did Miles do?
Can you tell us?

He had gas in a...
a water bottle,

and he sprayed...
he sprayed it all over me.

He, he chased me.

He struck a match.

Flames...

It's okay, it's okay.
It's gonna be okay.

Don't touch her.

Miles...
he grabbed Tessa.

We're looking him now.
We'll get him.

Don't let him take Tessa.

She's in respiratory arrest.
Bag her!

Over her to vent.
Get in intubation tray.

You got it.
Get in tube. 7.5.

All right, quick intubation...

It's horrifying.

These aren't from a security camera?

Some tourists snapped these photos.

So much for no pattern of abuse.

Based on his history,
there is no way we could have predicted

that he would soak her with gasoline
and set her on fire.

Women's groups and the media are already
calling for judicial censure

because of the lapsed protection order.

My office is accused
of being soft on crime,

which is why I have a meeting
with the DA in an hour.

Let's hope he doesn't agree.

How'd he make bail?

His parents put up their retirement home.

Is there any word on his whereabouts?

Odds are he's meeting up
with her daughter.

She's not in school. We've tracked
her cell phone to Central park.

ESU's headed there now,
Olivia and Elliot are running point.

CENTRAL PARK
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10

Let's assume he's armed.

When you said he was escalating,
you were right.

Do you think that's what I want to hear?

He set her on fire, Elliot.
Who could've anticipated that?

If I'd listened to you,
we could've prevented this.

How?

Have Novak push for remand,

get a blue-and-white on him
when he made bail,

anything but make excuses for the guy.

Miles Sennet chose gasoline
and a match, not you.

He didn't just want to kill her,
he wanted her to suffer.

He said he wanted her dead.
I just wasn't listening.

Well, you weren't the only one
in that room. I was there too.

Eyes on the prize.
Central park, east side.

In positions now.

Dad?

Tessa?

Dad.

Hey.

Dad, what happened to you?
You're scaring me.

- Honey...
- What's the matter?

Daddy did something awful today,
and I wanted to tell you myself.

I killed your mother.

No! / No, no, no, look.
Look, look at me.

You listen to me 'cause
I don't have a lot of time.

I love you and I always will.

And one day, you'll remember that.

No, I won't.

Miles!

We're gonna get Tessa
out of harm's way here.

Don't shoot him!

Miles, listen to me.

You're her father.

You caused enough damage.

She doesn't need to see this.

- Daddy, daddy, daddy...
- Tessa, it's okay.

- If you just come with me...
- Tessa, stop, stop.

- It's okay. You have to go now.
- Come with me. Come with me!

You have to leave, okay?

- You have to go now.
- Come with me!

- No!
- Go! Get away from me!

Daddy, please.

I can't.

Daddy.

You.

Come get her.

Daddy, no. Daddy, no!
No! Let me go!

Let me go!
Daddy, no, no!

Come with me!

Let me go!

Drop it! Stay where you are!

Miles!

Your ribs will probably hurt.

Plastic bullets do that to you.

Valerie is going to the tank for the first
round of very painful debridement.

If she lasts a few days and stabilizes,

she'll have surgery,
then a course of maggots,

and more surgery
to remove the dead tissue.

How long's she gonna be here?

There's no way to predict.

It's remarkable she's survived this long.

You don't expect her to live, do you?

No, she'll probably succumb to shock
before she even gets to the OR.

Hey, Valerie, can you hear me?

Miles is in custody, and Tessa's
with your mother in the waiting room.

Good.

Did you get him?

Did you kill him?

She's out of it.

The shower was the fault,

but I showed him.

I showed him.

Valerie...

did Miles rape you?

Yes.

I'm looking for detective Stabler.

He's gone for the day.
I'm his partner. Can I help you?

I'm Phillip Anders, an investigator with
Valerie Sennet's divorce attorney.

I understand you guys
are looking for me.

Actually, that case is closed.

Now I saw on the news
where she is in critical condition.

It's terrible.
She was an amazing woman.

- Were you close?
- Not really. It was casual.

We got together on her daughter's
visit days with dad.

When was the last time
you were together?

That's personal.

Well, actually,
it needs to go in the file.

Excuse me?

Valerie Sennet accused
her husband of raping her.

So I need to know, when was
the last time you had sex with her?

Earlier in the week.

- The fifth?
- Yes.

I left around 5. I had to be out
before her daughter came home.

- Did you use a condom?
- Yes.

I hope you're done prying into
the intimate details of my sex life

'cause I'm leaving now.

She's at the burn unit of Cornell
university if you would like to visit her.

Like I said...
it was just casual.

Meet me downstairs...
LIV

Thanks.

Is that a flower in your cup?

It's tea.

You're serious about that, aren't you?

I couldn't sleep.

Me neither.

Valerie Sennet wasn't raped.

She was sleeping with
a law firm investigator.

She really put her husband
through the wringer.

She died 20 minutes ago.

She knew that she was gonna die,
and she still lie to my face.

When love warps into hate,
there's nothing you won't do.

That's why I signed the divorce papers.

I don't want Kathy to ever regret me.

That's a step in the right
direction, Elliot.

So are we okay?

I...

I just...

need space to disagree with you

so that I don't feel like it's gonna
cost me our partnership.

You've never been gone shy before.

Yeah, well, you know,
I mean, things change.

Like you said,

you're the longest relationship
that I've ever had with a man.

Who else would put up with me?

You hungry?

I could go for a bite.
Who's buying?

Well, you are going through a divorce
and you do have four children

so I guess you are.

That's what I thought.
