00:00:05,547 --> 00:00:07,297
- In the criminal justice
system,

3
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,175
sexually based offenses

4
00:00:09,259 --> 00:00:11,302
are considered
especially heinous.

5
00:00:11,386 --> 00:00:13,847
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

6
00:00:13,848 --> 00:00:15,723
who investigate
these vicious felonies

7
00:00:15,724 --> 00:00:17,267
are members of an elite squad

8
00:00:17,392 --> 00:00:19,142
known as
the Special Victims Unit.

9
00:00:19,185 --> 00:00:20,895
These are their stories.

00:00:22,147 --> 00:00:24,649
[indistinct chatter]

11
00:00:24,774 --> 00:00:27,694
- Whelan's a good detective,
but he's a lot to take in.

12
00:00:27,819 --> 00:00:29,779
- Meaning?
- You'll see.

13
00:00:29,821 --> 00:00:31,322
- Hey, Terry Bruno.

14
00:00:31,406 --> 00:00:33,576
Ah, I see you're still
dressing like a perp.

15
00:00:33,616 --> 00:00:34,826
- Hey, John.

16
00:00:34,951 --> 00:00:36,941
Nice fedora.
You know it's 2025, right?

17
00:00:36,953 --> 00:00:39,080
- Hey, the clothes
make the man, Terry.

18
00:00:39,164 --> 00:00:40,957
Uh, who is this Tweedledum?

19
00:00:40,999 --> 00:00:42,792
- Jake Griffin.

20
00:00:42,834 --> 00:00:43,960
- Oh, Batman.

21
00:00:43,961 --> 00:00:45,586
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I heard about you.

22
00:00:45,587 --> 00:00:47,756
- Okay, yeah.
Hopefully not all bad.

23
00:00:47,839 --> 00:00:50,550
- Uh, mixed, mostly.

24
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:52,009
Welcome to the circus, boys.

25
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:54,060
We got a guy inside,
said his girlfriend

26
00:00:54,061 --> 00:00:56,972
was snatched in the middle of
the night, says she was raped.

27
00:00:56,973 --> 00:00:59,309
So here you are.
- How you wanna handle it?

28
00:00:59,392 --> 00:01:01,895
- Well, we put a BOLO out
on the girl, Nikki Suarez.

29
00:01:01,896 --> 00:01:03,812
So we will handle
the citywide search,

30
00:01:03,813 --> 00:01:05,607
but the rape is all yours.

31
00:01:05,648 --> 00:01:09,611
Terry, between us,
the media is already

32
00:01:09,612 --> 00:01:12,071
flinging some wild theories,
so you're gonna need

33
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,199
to drill down
on this guy's story.

34
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,075
- It sounds like
you're not liking it.

35
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:17,785
- Hey, kid,
everybody's got a story,

36
00:01:17,786 --> 00:01:19,476
but this one's got
some hair on it.

37
00:01:19,477 --> 00:01:20,621
- All right, 10-4.
We'll let you know.

38
00:01:20,622 --> 00:01:22,499
- Okay.

39
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:24,793
- And when I woke up,
the guy was wrapping

40
00:01:24,876 --> 00:01:26,836
my entire head in duct tape.

41
00:01:26,961 --> 00:01:28,831
And then-and then
he pinned me down,

42
00:01:28,838 --> 00:01:31,966
and that's when I realized that
he had wrapped my wrists too.

43
00:01:31,967 --> 00:01:33,592
- So you didn't get
a good look at him?

44
00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:34,803
- No.

45
00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:36,596
- What about his voice?

46
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,765
- He sounded like a robot.

47
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:40,225
- Like a what?

48
00:01:40,308 --> 00:01:41,643
- Look, I know.

49
00:01:41,644 --> 00:01:43,268
All I could figure was
that he was using some kind

50
00:01:43,269 --> 00:01:44,979
of voice-altering technology.

51
00:01:46,731 --> 00:01:49,526
- Okay, what happened next?

52
00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:52,362
- And then it sounded like
he was assaulting her.

53
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:54,280
And I didn't do anything

54
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:55,948
because I didn't want him
to kill her.

55
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:59,577
And, uh-and he kept saying
that he had cameras and lasers

56
00:01:59,703 --> 00:02:02,288
set up watching me
and that if I didn't

57
00:02:02,289 --> 00:02:05,290
remain still for at least three
hours, that he would kill her.

58
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:06,543
[suspenseful music]

59
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,752
- What'd you do?

60
00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:10,755
- I did what he told me to do.

61
00:02:10,839 --> 00:02:14,551
I stayed there, and I waited
for what felt like three hours,

62
00:02:14,592 --> 00:02:17,220
and then-and then when
I finally got myself out,

63
00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:18,430
Nikki was gone.

64
00:02:18,471 --> 00:02:21,141
- Look, we're gonna find her,

65
00:02:21,142 --> 00:02:23,642
but I need you to come down
to the precinct to help us.

66
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,395
- Yeah, whatever you need.

67
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:27,313
You guys just have to find her.

68
00:02:31,693 --> 00:02:33,820
- You buying any of this?

69
00:02:33,862 --> 00:02:36,156
- He's definitely
hiding something.

70
00:02:36,197 --> 00:02:37,949
- Well, the plot
thickens, boys.

71
00:02:38,033 --> 00:02:39,576
We ran our guy, Morrison.

72
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:42,579
He did a two-year federal bid
off a securities fraud case.

73
00:02:42,662 --> 00:02:44,497
Got out three years ago.

74
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:46,457
- Great, an ex-con
motivational speaker.

75
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:48,877
- Yeah, and a story
with more holes than the BQE.

76
00:02:55,467 --> 00:02:58,595
- So Jimmy tells him NYPD has
a new forensic technique

77
00:02:58,596 --> 00:03:01,013
where a murder victim's eyes
could be removed

78
00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:03,474
to determine the last image
they saw before death.

79
00:03:03,475 --> 00:03:05,476
- This is genius,
but did it actually work?

80
00:03:05,477 --> 00:03:06,811
- Like a charm.

81
00:03:06,812 --> 00:03:08,687
Guy gave up everything,
including stuff

82
00:03:08,688 --> 00:03:10,065
we didn't even know about.

83
00:03:10,066 --> 00:03:11,940
- Okay, I love it,
and I'm gonna use it.

84
00:03:11,941 --> 00:03:13,401
Thank you.

85
00:03:13,526 --> 00:03:16,488
- Ah, a panel on generative AI
and law enforcement.

86
00:03:16,571 --> 00:03:18,448
Maybe Jimmy was onto something.

87
00:03:18,615 --> 00:03:19,949
What a world.
- Yeah.

88
00:03:20,075 --> 00:03:21,659
How long were you two partners?

89
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:23,702
- Five years in uniform,
four more as detectives.

90
00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:24,871
- Ah.

91
00:03:24,913 --> 00:03:26,873
- He was a great cop,
a great partner.

92
00:03:26,874 --> 00:03:28,582
You know how it is
when it just clicks.

93
00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:29,625
- I do.

94
00:03:29,626 --> 00:03:30,676
I do.

95
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:33,463
And what got him?

96
00:03:33,464 --> 00:03:35,339
- Here was a guy who'd
been shot three times,

97
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:37,930
including one shielding
a witness, and in the end,

98
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:39,761
it was cancer.
- Ah.

99
00:03:39,844 --> 00:03:42,263
- Jake was only 12.

100
00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:45,308
All Jimmy dreamed of
was seeing Jake take the oath.

101
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:48,061
I appreciate you taking him
under your wing.

102
00:03:48,062 --> 00:03:50,312
I mean, I know you didn't
actually have a choice.

103
00:03:50,313 --> 00:03:52,107
Appreciate it just the same.

104
00:03:52,148 --> 00:03:55,026
- I was hesitant,
but Griffin has potential.

105
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:56,986
- Yeah.

106
00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:59,155
[phone buzzes]

107
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:00,532
- Benson.

108
00:04:02,826 --> 00:04:04,327
Okay.

109
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:07,872
I'm three hours away,
and I'm at a conference.

110
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:09,457
- Tell him we're heading back.

111
00:04:09,541 --> 00:04:12,377
- Okay, I'm on my way back,
okay?

112
00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:14,379
I'm sorry, Chief.
- Don't be.

113
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:16,422
Active kidnapping, great excuse
to dip out of here.

114
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:17,473
- Right?

115
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:19,968
Thank you.

116
00:04:20,051 --> 00:04:21,803
- Nikki Suarez, 24,

117
00:04:21,804 --> 00:04:23,554
girlfriend of Greg Morrison,
50,

118
00:04:23,555 --> 00:04:26,265
who's presently our guest
in interrogation room one.

119
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,560
- Why'd you bring him in?
- 'Cause he's hinky.

120
00:04:28,561 --> 00:04:30,477
- Care to expand
on that keen insight?

121
00:04:30,478 --> 00:04:32,271
- He's rambling
about the kidnapper

122
00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:35,442
setting up lasers and cameras
and voice changers.

123
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:38,111
- Plus, he's an ex-con
who peddles nonsense

124
00:04:38,153 --> 00:04:40,363
as a so-called
motivational speaker.

125
00:04:40,364 --> 00:04:42,406
He did two years at Club Fed
for securities fraud.

126
00:04:42,407 --> 00:04:43,741
- And what about
the missing woman?

127
00:04:43,742 --> 00:04:44,950
- There's a BOLO out on her.

128
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:46,285
2-1's in charge of the search.

129
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,038
But this guy isn't right.

130
00:04:48,039 --> 00:04:49,538
- Yeah, the whole story
is wild,

131
00:04:49,539 --> 00:04:50,748
but if it's true,
we still gotta find her.

132
00:04:50,749 --> 00:04:52,876
- Captain is on her way back
from Albany,

133
00:04:52,877 --> 00:04:54,877
so why don't you two
take your shot at Morrison,

134
00:04:54,878 --> 00:04:57,379
and we'll coordinate with
Whelan, CSU, and canvass?

135
00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:58,839
- When we break him,
we'll let you know.

136
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:00,383
- Okay.

137
00:05:00,425 --> 00:05:02,715
- If you could help me out,
I do not understand

138
00:05:02,761 --> 00:05:04,763
the whole
cameras and lasers thing.

139
00:05:04,888 --> 00:05:07,557
- I just-I'm not saying
he was telling the truth.

140
00:05:07,682 --> 00:05:10,727
I am just telling you
what he said.

141
00:05:10,728 --> 00:05:13,103
- The whole voice-altering
technology thing.

142
00:05:13,104 --> 00:05:16,274
- Yes, he was obviously
using something to make

143
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:18,109
voice recognition impossible.

144
00:05:18,110 --> 00:05:20,736
- Well, maybe he thought
you'd recognize him, you know?

145
00:05:20,737 --> 00:05:22,947
Who else had access
to the brownstone?

146
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:24,531
- I did renovations last month.

147
00:05:24,532 --> 00:05:28,244
I gave the keys
to my architect, Sean Davey.

148
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:29,954
- Sean Davey.

149
00:05:29,955 --> 00:05:30,996
- You don't think he-

150
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:32,123
- We'll check it out.

151
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:33,875
Anyone else you got beef with?

152
00:05:33,876 --> 00:05:35,459
You know, anyone else
who would, uh-

153
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:37,545
who'd want a reason
to punish you?

154
00:05:42,967 --> 00:05:45,887
- Guys, please,
I am begging you.

155
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,389
You have to find Nikki.

156
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:49,432
- The whole city is
out looking for her,

157
00:05:49,516 --> 00:05:53,478
but now is a chance
for you to come clean.

158
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,773
Let's start at the beginning.

159
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:59,192
When was the last time
you saw Nikki alive?

160
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:03,154
- Welcome back, Captain.

161
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:05,448
- Hey. So I spoke with Curry.

162
00:06:05,449 --> 00:06:07,366
She said you're not
liking this guy's story.

163
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:08,747
- It's more like a fairy tale.

164
00:06:08,748 --> 00:06:10,035
The guy makes a living
conning people.

165
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:11,036
He thinks he can con us.

166
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:12,162
- He's hiding something.

167
00:06:12,163 --> 00:06:13,623
We just don't know what yet.

168
00:06:13,624 --> 00:06:15,416
- Okay, Curry said that
one of his neighbors

169
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:17,710
said that she heard them
arguing a couple of nights ago?

170
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:18,761
Break it down for me.

171
00:06:18,795 --> 00:06:20,463
- Captain.

172
00:06:20,547 --> 00:06:22,424
- Oh, hold on.

173
00:06:22,465 --> 00:06:24,050
Yeah?

174
00:06:24,051 --> 00:06:25,384
- There's a woman here that
says we have her boyfriend

175
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:27,929
in custody, Greg Morrison.

176
00:06:27,971 --> 00:06:29,556
- Nikki?

177
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,517
- Nikki? No, no, I'm Kelsey.

178
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,977
Uh, is Greg here?

179
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:36,688
[suspenseful music]

180
00:06:36,771 --> 00:06:38,940
- Uh, come, come.

181
00:06:41,693 --> 00:06:44,487
[dramatic music]

182
00:06:44,612 --> 00:06:51,619
* *

183
00:07:31,111 --> 00:07:32,409
.

184
00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:34,220
- What's going on?
Why is Greg here?

185
00:07:34,871 --> 00:07:36,748
Did he do something?
- So Greg is here.

186
00:07:36,831 --> 00:07:40,251
He's just answering
a few questions for us.

187
00:07:40,377 --> 00:07:42,427
So why don't you go ahead
and have a seat?

188
00:07:44,172 --> 00:07:48,343
So you said that
you're Greg's girlfriend?

189
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:54,057
- How long-how long have
you been seeing each other?

190
00:07:54,099 --> 00:07:55,558
- About a year.

191
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:56,650
I live in Stanford.

192
00:07:56,685 --> 00:07:58,812
We met after one
of his lectures.

193
00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:01,105
This morning, he wasn't
answering his phone calls

194
00:08:01,106 --> 00:08:03,190
when I tried to contact him,
so I drove all the way down,

195
00:08:03,191 --> 00:08:06,611
and-and then there was, like,
a police officer at his place

196
00:08:06,695 --> 00:08:08,446
and sent me here.

197
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:10,240
[suspenseful music]

198
00:08:10,241 --> 00:08:12,533
Look, can you just tell me
what's happening, please?

199
00:08:12,534 --> 00:08:13,701
- Should I have told you guys

200
00:08:13,702 --> 00:08:15,912
that I was also seeing Kelsey?
yeah.

201
00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:18,707
But-but that also
has nothing to do

202
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:20,208
with Nikki being kidnapped.

203
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:21,584
- If that's even true.

204
00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:24,337
- [sighs]
Come on, guys, please.

205
00:08:24,462 --> 00:08:26,464
Call me a louse.

206
00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:27,966
Call me a cheater.

207
00:08:27,967 --> 00:08:29,174
But you're losing focus here.

208
00:08:29,175 --> 00:08:31,094
Are you gonna
go find her or not?

209
00:08:31,095 --> 00:08:32,678
- The whole department
is looking for her.

210
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,930
We need you to coop-

211
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:35,932
- I think you know
where Nikki is.

212
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:37,308
- What?

213
00:08:37,309 --> 00:08:38,726
- I mean, how can we
believe anything you say?

214
00:08:38,727 --> 00:08:40,310
You've been lying
to us from the jump.

215
00:08:40,311 --> 00:08:45,567
- So Greg told us that his
girlfriend had been abducted,

216
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:47,402
that she was kidnapped.

217
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:51,031
- What?

218
00:08:51,114 --> 00:08:52,407
No, I'm-I'm fine.

219
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:55,160
- Yeah, no, I see that.

220
00:08:55,243 --> 00:08:59,456
I will tell you that
he used a different name.

221
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:03,793
He said that it was
his girlfriend, Nikki.

222
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:08,256
* *

223
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:09,799
- I mean, who-who the hell-

224
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:12,302
I've never-I've never
seen this person before.

225
00:09:12,427 --> 00:09:15,638
- Okay, so that's Nikki Suarez.

226
00:09:15,764 --> 00:09:18,433
I see that you don't
know anything about this.

227
00:09:18,475 --> 00:09:20,060
- No.

228
00:09:20,061 --> 00:09:21,769
He said that's-
that's his girlfriend?

229
00:09:21,770 --> 00:09:23,354
- I was gonna break
things off with Kelsey.

230
00:09:23,355 --> 00:09:25,815
And I understand that
it was a bad thing

231
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:27,692
to hide it from you, but-

232
00:09:27,693 --> 00:09:29,610
- Because you didn't wanna
look like a bad guy, right?

233
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:31,196
- Yeah.

234
00:09:31,197 --> 00:09:33,739
- Kinda guy that would kill
one of his girlfriends?

235
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:35,825
- Is that what you guys think?

236
00:09:35,909 --> 00:09:37,702
- We are just trying
to understand

237
00:09:37,703 --> 00:09:39,870
the nature of your
relationships, okay?

238
00:09:39,871 --> 00:09:42,581
It might help us find the guy
who you said abducted her.

239
00:09:42,665 --> 00:09:46,378
- Who I said abducted her?

240
00:09:46,379 --> 00:09:48,504
Why do I feel like
you guys don't believe me?

241
00:09:48,505 --> 00:09:50,715
- I feel-

242
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:51,849
I feel so stupid.

243
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:54,469
God, I'm so embarrassed.

244
00:09:54,552 --> 00:09:56,388
- Don't be.

245
00:09:56,429 --> 00:10:02,727
Now, so Greg was some kind of
motivational speaker, right?

246
00:10:02,811 --> 00:10:04,270
- Yeah.

247
00:10:04,312 --> 00:10:06,314
- So guys like this can
be very, um,

248
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:08,441
you know, manipulative.

249
00:10:08,483 --> 00:10:11,778
Was he ever, um,
you know, controlling,

250
00:10:11,820 --> 00:10:14,447
or was he ever
violent with you?

251
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:16,533
- No.

252
00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:23,081
No, I mean, obviously he's
shady and a frickin' good liar.

253
00:10:23,164 --> 00:10:26,835
But honestly, he was
always very respectful.

254
00:10:26,918 --> 00:10:29,587
- I think you killed Nikki.

255
00:10:29,713 --> 00:10:31,798
- If she's not
really missing, we just-

256
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,425
we need to call off the search.

257
00:10:33,508 --> 00:10:34,843
- Okay.

258
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,099
You guys obviously
are not here to help me.

259
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:43,435
So I would like to leave now.

260
00:10:43,518 --> 00:10:46,354
And if you don't let me leave,
I want a lawyer.

261
00:10:46,355 --> 00:10:47,938
- You're not gonna
motivationally

262
00:10:47,939 --> 00:10:49,982
speak your way out of this.
- I would like a lawyer!

263
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:51,483
- One way or another,
you're going down for this.

264
00:10:51,484 --> 00:10:53,862
- Don't move.
We'll be right back.

265
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:56,573
Come on.

266
00:10:56,614 --> 00:10:57,991
- I don't like him.

267
00:10:57,992 --> 00:10:59,241
If his girlfriend
hadn't've showed up,

268
00:10:59,242 --> 00:11:00,200
he never would have told us.

269
00:11:00,201 --> 00:11:02,287
- Slow your roll.

270
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:03,955
Griff, what is your take?

271
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:05,540
- I don't know.

272
00:11:05,541 --> 00:11:07,541
He's clearly not telling us
the whole story.

273
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:10,420
- Okay, well, so we're not
there yet, and he's invoked.

274
00:11:10,545 --> 00:11:12,115
- I went in too hard.
That's on me.

275
00:11:12,116 --> 00:11:14,340
He's just pissing me off
with this bogus story.

276
00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:16,842
- I agree that he's suspect,
but unless you have something

277
00:11:16,843 --> 00:11:19,471
other than a theory,
we need to let him go

278
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:22,807
and build a case that sticks.

279
00:11:22,891 --> 00:11:27,604
So Rollins and Curry are
speaking with Nikki's roommate.

280
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,437
You two start
with this architect

281
00:11:29,439 --> 00:11:31,309
who claims he has the key
to his place.

282
00:11:33,651 --> 00:11:36,738
- Gentlemen,
how can I help you?

283
00:11:36,863 --> 00:11:38,782
- Hey, I'm Detective Griffin.

284
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:40,065
This is Detective Bruno.

285
00:11:40,116 --> 00:11:42,327
We're from Special Victims.

286
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:43,703
- Special Victims.

287
00:11:43,745 --> 00:11:45,675
- We're investigating
a kidnapping,

288
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:49,167
and the guy we're looking at
said you had keys to his place.

289
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:50,835
- What happened to you?

290
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,089
- I blew out my meniscus
playing ball in the park.

291
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:55,354
I had surgery last week.

292
00:11:55,355 --> 00:11:56,674
Who-who are we talking about?

293
00:11:56,675 --> 00:11:59,469
- Greg Morrison.

294
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:00,970
- He said I had his keys.

295
00:12:00,971 --> 00:12:02,054
- Yeah, he did.

296
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:03,640
Yeah, why? You don't?

297
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:06,267
- Not anymore.

298
00:12:06,268 --> 00:12:08,394
Morrison hired me to do
the plans on his renovation

299
00:12:08,395 --> 00:12:10,605
about a month ago,
so he gave me the keys.

300
00:12:10,689 --> 00:12:12,982
I drew up the plans
and explained to him

301
00:12:13,108 --> 00:12:15,443
the permitting process,
and he asked

302
00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:19,197
if I could pay off the building
inspectors to expedite it.

303
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:20,907
- Sounds like our guy.

304
00:12:20,908 --> 00:12:22,908
- I told him I didn't
pay off public officials,

305
00:12:22,909 --> 00:12:26,079
so he fired me
and refused to pay my bill.

306
00:12:26,204 --> 00:12:27,831
- Hmm. And the keys?

307
00:12:27,832 --> 00:12:30,457
- I mailed them back to him
with my final payment notice,

308
00:12:30,458 --> 00:12:31,793
which he ignored.

309
00:12:33,962 --> 00:12:37,424
- You ever meet his girlfriend?

310
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:39,801
- Nikki.

311
00:12:39,926 --> 00:12:41,803
Seemed like a nice kid.

312
00:12:41,804 --> 00:12:43,137
Is she the one
that was kidnapped?

313
00:12:43,138 --> 00:12:45,181
- That's what
Morrison's saying, yeah.

314
00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:46,932
Is there anything you could
tell us about her

315
00:12:46,933 --> 00:12:50,395
or her relationship
with Morrison?

316
00:12:50,478 --> 00:12:51,896
- No, not really.

317
00:12:52,022 --> 00:12:55,233
I only saw 'em together
once or twice.

318
00:12:55,316 --> 00:12:59,446
But one time when I let myself
in before he fired me,

319
00:12:59,447 --> 00:13:01,613
I must have spooked her
because she freaked out.

320
00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:02,866
- Hmm.

321
00:13:02,991 --> 00:13:05,243
- Something about
a guy stalking her.

322
00:13:05,326 --> 00:13:08,329
I told her to report it,
but she said she wasn't sure,

323
00:13:08,330 --> 00:13:10,414
and she-she didn't
wanna seem paranoid.

324
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:11,457
- She give you his name?

325
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:13,418
- No.

326
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:17,213
But Morrison came home,
and she clammed up about it,

327
00:13:17,214 --> 00:13:18,630
like she didn't want him
to know.

328

* *

330
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:28,892
- Look, we're not close.

331
00:13:28,975 --> 00:13:30,725
I mean, she moved in
six months ago

332
00:13:30,727 --> 00:13:33,521
but spent way too much time
with that boyfriend, Greg.

333
00:13:33,605 --> 00:13:35,190
Oh, y'all want anything?

334
00:13:35,231 --> 00:13:36,733
- No.

335
00:13:36,734 --> 00:13:38,108
I take it you don't
like him much.

336
00:13:38,109 --> 00:13:40,028
- He's old enough
to be her father.

337
00:13:40,111 --> 00:13:41,780
I mean, I saw
right through him.

338
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:43,406
Motivational speaker, my ass.

339
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:45,075
He's a creep.

340
00:13:45,076 --> 00:13:46,700
- Any reason to believe
that he would hurt her?

341
00:13:46,701 --> 00:13:48,370
- Like I said, we're not close.

342
00:13:48,411 --> 00:13:50,747
It's not like she shared
that sort of stuff.

343
00:13:50,748 --> 00:13:52,456
- Well, they seem
pretty happy here.

344
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:53,667
This is them, right?

345
00:13:53,792 --> 00:13:55,043
- Yeah, that's him.

346
00:13:55,126 --> 00:13:56,628
Such a douchey smile.

347
00:13:56,670 --> 00:13:58,110
- Is she wearing a smart ring?

348
00:13:58,111 --> 00:13:59,505
Did she wear that every day?

349
00:13:59,506 --> 00:14:01,383
- Yeah, she's a fitness freak.

350
00:14:01,466 --> 00:14:03,456
She said it tracked
her heart rate and-

351
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:05,387
I don't know-
some other stuff.

352
00:14:05,512 --> 00:14:06,638
- Like location.

354
00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:18,608
- Hey, your husband is gold.

355
00:14:18,692 --> 00:14:21,236
He got us an emergency order
for the location data

356
00:14:21,361 --> 00:14:22,946
from Nikki's smart ring.

357
00:14:22,947 --> 00:14:24,988
- He even knows how
to load a dishwasher.

358
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:27,157
- Detective Whelan's
already got a search going.

359
00:14:27,158 --> 00:14:29,201
This is the last place
that the ring pinged from.

360
00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:30,869
- Hey, Whelan.
- Captain Benson in the flesh.

361
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:32,247
How you doing?

362
00:14:32,248 --> 00:14:34,248
- Well, I'll be better
once we find this girl.

363
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:35,541
- Yeah, we're
gonna find her.

364
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:37,592
I got a nose for stuff
like this, you know.

365
00:14:37,593 --> 00:14:39,128
I gotta say,
I'm a bit surprised

366
00:14:39,129 --> 00:14:40,630
to see you out in the wild.

367
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:42,884
My captain's likely
at the 19th hole by now.

368
00:14:42,885 --> 00:14:44,633
- I see you're still
working the hat shtick.

369
00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:46,510
- Ah, yeah, well,
I'm gonna bring it back

370
00:14:46,511 --> 00:14:48,179
if it's the last thing I do.

371
00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:49,263
- Found it!
- Oh.

372
00:14:49,264 --> 00:14:56,271
* *

373
00:14:56,704 --> 00:14:59,815
- Whelan,
we've got a sighting.

374
00:14:59,816 --> 00:15:01,483
We have a woman
who matches the description

375
00:15:01,484 --> 00:15:03,027
of Nikki Suarez
at Hector's Bodega,

376
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:04,737
533 Neptune Avenue
in Brighton Beach.

377
00:15:04,738 --> 00:15:07,032
- Okay, 10-4.
I know right where that is.

378
00:15:07,033 --> 00:15:09,283
How do you wanna handle this?
- Tell them not to approach.

379
00:15:09,284 --> 00:15:12,078
If this is indeed Nikki,
then she may still be in shock.

380
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,039
- Okay, do not approach
the suspect.

381
00:15:14,122 --> 00:15:15,790
We're on our way.

382
00:15:19,169 --> 00:15:21,796
- Watermelon...
- It's okay. It's okay.

383
00:15:21,838 --> 00:15:24,507
Maybe lemon Coke
and cotton candy's really good,

384
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:27,177
even though it sounds gross.
- Nikki?

385
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:28,595
- Coke and cotton candy.

386
00:15:28,678 --> 00:15:32,223
- Nikki, I'm Captain Benson.

387
00:15:32,349 --> 00:15:36,436
I'm a police officer,
and I'm here to help you.

388
00:15:38,897 --> 00:15:41,399
Okay? It's okay now.

389
00:15:41,483 --> 00:15:42,942
It's over, Nikki.

390
00:15:43,026 --> 00:15:44,152
It's over.

391
00:15:47,739 --> 00:15:52,660
- [sobbing]

392
00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:54,996
- All right, I got you.
I got you. I got you.

393
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,165
You're safe.

394
00:15:57,207 --> 00:15:58,750
It's okay.

395
00:15:58,875 --> 00:16:00,919
It's okay.

396
00:16:01,044 --> 00:16:02,094
It's okay.

397
00:16:06,376 --> 00:16:07,675
.

398
00:16:07,676 --> 00:16:09,056
- Yeah, we got her, thank God.

399
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:10,970
- That's great news.

400
00:16:10,971 --> 00:16:12,763
How quickly can
you get down here?

401
00:16:12,764 --> 00:16:14,765
There's a press conference.
I'd like you there with me.

402
00:16:14,766 --> 00:16:16,226
- Oh, I can't.

403
00:16:16,227 --> 00:16:18,394
Nikki's awake,
and I need to interview her.

404
00:16:18,395 --> 00:16:21,022
- You have a team
of very capable investigators.

405
00:16:21,023 --> 00:16:22,731
Have one of them
do the initial interview.

406
00:16:22,732 --> 00:16:24,401
You should be here.

407
00:16:24,402 --> 00:16:26,985
- Chief Tynan, I was the first
one to speak with her,

408
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:29,614
and she's traumatized,
so I don't-

409
00:16:29,615 --> 00:16:31,448
I don't think
it would be fair for me

410
00:16:31,449 --> 00:16:34,034
to pass off the initial
interview to somebody else.

411
00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:35,661
- Captain, our press people
are saying

412
00:16:35,662 --> 00:16:37,329
that your victim may
have orchestrated

413
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:38,540
this entire kidnapping.

414
00:16:38,623 --> 00:16:41,084
They're calling it
a "Gone Girl" situation.

415
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:42,919
I need you to take the lead.

416
00:16:42,961 --> 00:16:45,005
- [sighs] That is ridiculous.

417
00:16:45,006 --> 00:16:46,839
- Then what do you advise
I tell the press?

418
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,718
- Nothing. It's premature.

419
00:16:49,801 --> 00:16:51,136
Can this not wait?

420
00:16:51,177 --> 00:16:52,887
- No, it cannot.

421
00:16:52,971 --> 00:16:55,921
- Well, then tell them that
it's an ongoing investigation.

422
00:16:58,393 --> 00:17:00,770
- This is important, Captain.
I need you here.

423
00:17:00,895 --> 00:17:02,105
- I have to go.

424
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:03,690
Okay, well, I apologize.

425
00:17:03,773 --> 00:17:05,150
I'm sorry.

426
00:17:12,073 --> 00:17:16,953
- I woke up with tape over my
eyes and tape over my wrists.

427
00:17:17,037 --> 00:17:18,621
It was really strong.

428
00:17:18,663 --> 00:17:20,123
- Did he say anything?

429
00:17:20,206 --> 00:17:21,526
- He kept calling me a bitch.

430
00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:22,876
- Uh-huh.

431
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:25,211
- He said I should
shut up and take it.

432
00:17:25,337 --> 00:17:27,756
The whole time, I just, um-

433
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:30,425
I don't know-disassociated.

434
00:17:30,508 --> 00:17:33,303
- That's your mind
protecting you.

435
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:35,096
So where did he take you?

436
00:17:35,180 --> 00:17:37,349
- I'm not sure.

437
00:17:37,432 --> 00:17:39,351
I remember being
in the trunk of a car.

438
00:17:39,434 --> 00:17:40,810
- Okay.

439
00:17:40,894 --> 00:17:42,896
And then what happened?

440
00:17:42,937 --> 00:17:46,024
- He brought me
inside somewhere.

441
00:17:46,107 --> 00:17:47,776
He raped me again.

442
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:51,738
And then he just-

443
00:17:51,821 --> 00:17:53,948
he left.

444
00:17:53,949 --> 00:17:56,033
He said he was gonna
come back with more men,

445
00:17:56,034 --> 00:18:01,414
and if I moved,
I thought he'd kill me.

446
00:18:01,539 --> 00:18:03,625
- And how did you
get away from him?

447
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:04,793
How did you escape?

448
00:18:07,587 --> 00:18:12,759
- I remember yanking on
the tape until I got free,

449
00:18:12,884 --> 00:18:16,680
and then, um, I don't know.

450
00:18:16,805 --> 00:18:19,474
The next thing I remember,
I was in that store.

451
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:21,226
Um...

452
00:18:21,309 --> 00:18:23,144
I have no idea
how I even got there.

453
00:18:23,228 --> 00:18:24,938
- That's okay.

454
00:18:24,939 --> 00:18:27,022
So your memory's gonna come
back in pieces, all right?

455
00:18:27,023 --> 00:18:29,818
That's your-your survival
instinct kicking in.

456
00:18:29,901 --> 00:18:32,070
[suspenseful music]

457
00:18:32,112 --> 00:18:34,531
So I-I need to
tell you something

458
00:18:34,572 --> 00:18:36,908
that's a little uncomfortable.

459
00:18:38,910 --> 00:18:43,998
During our investigation,
we found out that Greg,

460
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,292
your boyfriend, is-

461
00:18:46,334 --> 00:18:48,086
is actually seeing
somebody else.

462
00:18:50,422 --> 00:18:52,340
- What?
- Yeah.

463
00:18:52,382 --> 00:18:53,967
He has a girlfriend.

464
00:18:54,050 --> 00:18:55,927
- Who?

465
00:18:56,011 --> 00:18:59,139
- Her name is Kelsey,
Kelsey James.

466
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:00,473
Have you heard that name?

467
00:19:00,598 --> 00:19:03,309
- I don't know who that is.

468
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:05,519
Do you think she had
something to do with this?

469
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,854
- We don't know.
We don't know.

470
00:19:06,855 --> 00:19:08,605
We're just trying to
figure out if your attack

471
00:19:08,606 --> 00:19:11,359
was orchestrated.

472
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:13,068
- Oh, Nikki, baby.
- Hold on, Mr. Morrison.

473
00:19:13,069 --> 00:19:14,570
- Thank God you're okay.
- Who's Kelsey?

474
00:19:14,571 --> 00:19:15,571
- Mr. Morrison.
- Wait, what?

475
00:19:15,572 --> 00:19:17,115
- Who's Kelsey?
- Baby, I'm-

476
00:19:17,116 --> 00:19:18,407
- This is not the time.
- What-what did you tell her?

477
00:19:18,408 --> 00:19:20,075
- Now is not the time for this.
- Baby-

478
00:19:20,076 --> 00:19:21,494
- Get out.
- Baby-

479
00:19:21,536 --> 00:19:23,526
- Listen to me.
I need you to step outside.

480
00:19:23,538 --> 00:19:25,665
- Please-
- Step outside now.

481
00:19:25,749 --> 00:19:27,417
Thank you.

482
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:29,210
Okay?

483
00:19:29,211 --> 00:19:31,128
- Your goons spent
all your time coming after me,

484
00:19:31,129 --> 00:19:32,569
and now look what you've done.

485
00:19:32,570 --> 00:19:33,964
- If you don't walk
out of here right now,

486
00:19:33,965 --> 00:19:35,300
I'm gonna lock you up

487
00:19:35,301 --> 00:19:36,800
for witness tampering
and obstruction.

488
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:38,303
Is that clear?

489
00:19:40,138 --> 00:19:43,016
Now.

490
00:19:43,099 --> 00:19:44,601
Go.

491
00:19:44,602 --> 00:19:46,685
- Investigation led
by Special Victims Unit

492
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:49,189
and the detectives
from the 21st precinct,

493
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:51,566
Nikki Suarez has been
found alive.

494
00:19:51,567 --> 00:19:53,275
She's currently in
the hospital receiving

495
00:19:53,276 --> 00:19:54,944
needed medical attention.

496
00:19:55,070 --> 00:19:57,781
- Chief Tynan,
do you have any suspects?

497
00:19:57,864 --> 00:20:00,367
- I have no further comment
except to say that

498
00:20:00,450 --> 00:20:02,744
this remains
an ongoing investigation.

499
00:20:02,745 --> 00:20:04,661
- Any truth to the rumors
that the victim

500
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:06,455
orchestrated this
entire kidnapping?

501
00:20:06,456 --> 00:20:08,708
- Again, the investigation
is ongoing.

502
00:20:08,833 --> 00:20:11,211
- Chief, is this
a "Gone Girl" scenario?

503
00:20:11,294 --> 00:20:14,005
- We're investigating
all angles.

504
00:20:14,089 --> 00:20:16,758
That is the definition
of an ongoing investigation.

505
00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:18,425
- Chief Tynan,
one more question.

506
00:20:18,426 --> 00:20:20,176
Do you believe
Ms. Suarez's story?

507
00:20:20,261 --> 00:20:23,348
- Okay, so the rape kit
came back negative for semen.

508
00:20:23,349 --> 00:20:25,516
Are we sure that no condoms
were recovered

509
00:20:25,517 --> 00:20:27,268
from Morrison's house?
- Nothing.

510
00:20:27,269 --> 00:20:29,269
What did Nikki say
about the ex-boyfriend?

511
00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:32,565
- Quentin Welsum-
she met him on a dating app,

512
00:20:32,607 --> 00:20:35,026
but it was only one date
eight months ago.

513
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:37,153
And then a couple of weeks ago,

514
00:20:37,154 --> 00:20:38,779
he started blowing up
her phone,

515
00:20:38,780 --> 00:20:40,407
saying that she was a man hater

516
00:20:40,448 --> 00:20:42,951
and that she was
a low-value woman,

517
00:20:43,076 --> 00:20:45,453
and she thinks that
she may have seen him,

518
00:20:45,454 --> 00:20:48,205
you know, a couple times
outside of Morrison's house.

519
00:20:48,206 --> 00:20:50,959
- This is Quentin Welsum,
38-year-old white male,

520
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,501
runs a tech startup
out of Queens.

521
00:20:52,502 --> 00:20:54,004
- Voice-altering software?

522
00:20:54,005 --> 00:20:55,921
- He hasn't been to work
for the last three days,

523
00:20:55,922 --> 00:20:57,381
but the staff there
does say that it's not

524
00:20:57,382 --> 00:20:58,799
unusual for him to disappear.

525
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,925
- Okay, what about
his residence?

526
00:20:59,926 --> 00:21:01,344
- Same.

527
00:21:01,345 --> 00:21:02,845
Doorman says no one has seen
him in a couple of days.

528
00:21:02,846 --> 00:21:04,264
- I blew it.

529
00:21:04,265 --> 00:21:06,348
I spent all this time
zeroing in on Morrison,

530
00:21:06,349 --> 00:21:07,349
and now Welsum's on the run.

531
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:09,519
- Bruno, you went
with your gut.

532
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:10,729
I get it.

533
00:21:10,730 --> 00:21:11,812
Believe me,
I've done the same thing.

534
00:21:11,813 --> 00:21:14,065
Now, we have a BOLO out on him,

535
00:21:14,066 --> 00:21:16,275
and if he's still in the city,
we're gonna find him.

536
00:21:16,276 --> 00:21:18,987
- And he's got a 2024 Queens
conviction for stalking.

537
00:21:18,988 --> 00:21:20,112
Look at this.

538
00:21:20,113 --> 00:21:21,948
It came in first as burglary.

539
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:24,617
And I spoke to the ADA
in Queens who told me

540
00:21:24,743 --> 00:21:26,578
that they reduced it
to stalking.

541
00:21:26,579 --> 00:21:28,370
He's got
a conditional discharge.

542
00:21:28,371 --> 00:21:30,081
- Okay. So he's escalating.

543
00:21:30,123 --> 00:21:32,500
[phone buzzes]
Benson.

[suspenseful music]

545
00:21:34,461 --> 00:21:36,046
Great.

546
00:21:36,129 --> 00:21:38,048
Great. We're on our way.

547
00:21:38,173 --> 00:21:40,925
So Whelan just said they got
a hit on his license plate

548
00:21:41,051 --> 00:21:42,844
in Brighton Beach.

549
00:21:42,886 --> 00:21:44,346
Let's roll.

[officers shouting]

00:21:49,976 --> 00:21:52,562

552
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:54,356
- Freeze!

554
00:22:02,781 --> 00:22:04,824
- Stop! Police!

- [grunts]

556
00:22:06,409 --> 00:22:08,411
- That's gonna leave a mark.

557
00:22:08,536 --> 00:22:10,246
- What the hell was that?

558
00:22:10,330 --> 00:22:13,166
- It's 18 months of kickboxing
finally paying off.

559
00:22:19,416 --> 00:22:20,714
.

560
00:22:20,715 --> 00:22:22,883
- I wanna make a complaint.
That was police brutality.

561
00:22:22,884 --> 00:22:24,084
That bitch busted my eye.

562
00:22:24,085 --> 00:22:25,678
- Okay, okay,
I'm not saying I agree.

563
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:27,055
Do not quote me.

564
00:22:27,138 --> 00:22:29,349
But that's
a pretty ugly shiner.

565
00:22:29,391 --> 00:22:31,518
- Why'd you run?
- I was scared.

566
00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:33,310
You know there's a lot of
Russian gangsters in Brighton?

567
00:22:33,311 --> 00:22:35,188
- Come on, come on.

568
00:22:35,313 --> 00:22:37,440
Help us here.

569
00:22:37,524 --> 00:22:39,317
- Okay, look,
you guys seem okay.

570
00:22:39,401 --> 00:22:41,653
I honestly got nothing
to do with this.

571
00:22:41,654 --> 00:22:43,737
And this is the second time
some wacky girl's accusing me

572
00:22:43,738 --> 00:22:45,073
of something I didn't do.

573
00:22:45,074 --> 00:22:46,824
- Oh, you mean
your case in Queens.

574
00:22:46,825 --> 00:22:48,743
- Yeah.
Nonsense, just like this.

575
00:22:48,744 --> 00:22:50,035
- Let's start
with Nikki Suarez.

576
00:22:50,036 --> 00:22:51,579
She is saying you stalked her.

577
00:22:51,705 --> 00:22:53,998
- She is a lying bitch.

578
00:22:54,082 --> 00:22:56,584
We went on one bad date,
and all she did was moan

579
00:22:56,668 --> 00:22:58,044
about not being married.

580
00:22:58,086 --> 00:23:00,130
And, you know,
she wanted to bang me.

581
00:23:00,255 --> 00:23:03,299
She wanted it, but I was
afraid it was a trap.

582
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:05,050
- Okay, Quentin, I hear you.
I hear you. I do.

583
00:23:05,051 --> 00:23:06,845
But come on, help us help you.

584
00:23:06,846 --> 00:23:09,680
Like, maybe if there was
someone who could alibi you out

585
00:23:09,681 --> 00:23:10,931
from what happened
two nights ago,

586
00:23:10,932 --> 00:23:12,642
that would go a long way.

587
00:23:12,767 --> 00:23:14,769
- And I'm sure
Nikki's not gonna help

588
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:17,981
because she can't even
ID the guy that grabbed her.

589
00:23:18,023 --> 00:23:19,566
But an alibi...

590
00:23:23,028 --> 00:23:24,362
- Ned Wilson.

591
00:23:24,446 --> 00:23:26,448
I was with him all night.

- Ned Wilson?

595
00:23:33,121 --> 00:23:34,456
- Who's asking?

596
00:23:34,581 --> 00:23:35,957
- Step outside, please.

597
00:23:36,041 --> 00:23:37,417
- No, I don't think-

598
00:23:37,418 --> 00:23:38,959
- Hey, we're from
Manhattan SVU.

599
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,004
We wanna ask you
about Quentin Welsum.

600
00:23:41,005 --> 00:23:42,546
- What, is he in trouble?
- What do you think?

601
00:23:42,547 --> 00:23:43,964
When's the last time
you saw him?

602
00:23:43,965 --> 00:23:45,675
- Two nights ago.
- For how long?

603
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:47,177
- What'd he say?

604
00:23:47,178 --> 00:23:49,678
- Well, he said that he was
with you all night long,

605
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:52,348
but we know he's lying because
he raped and kidnapped a woman.

606
00:23:52,349 --> 00:23:54,099
But if you wanna lie for him,
then that's gonna

607
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:55,685
put you in some seri-

608
00:23:55,686 --> 00:23:57,978
- Whoa, whoa, I'm not
doing time for that guy.

609
00:23:57,979 --> 00:23:59,731
Look, he came by
two nights ago.

610
00:23:59,773 --> 00:24:01,274
He asked me to borrow my car.

611
00:24:01,316 --> 00:24:04,194
I told him no,
but the guy's insistent,

612
00:24:04,277 --> 00:24:06,112
and he gave me 100 bucks, so.

613
00:24:06,196 --> 00:24:07,489
- So what?

614
00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:10,325
- I gave him the keys
to my car, and that's it.

615
00:24:10,408 --> 00:24:12,218
And when he returned it
yesterday,

616
00:24:12,219 --> 00:24:14,536
he said if anyone asks,
I was with him all night.

617
00:24:14,537 --> 00:24:16,664
But I wasn't.
- Okay.

618
00:24:16,790 --> 00:24:18,416
Where's the car?

- We should check this
for fingerprints.

623
00:24:28,635 --> 00:24:30,094
- Yeah, if Quentin's are
on there, he's toast.

624
00:24:30,095 --> 00:24:31,387
- All right,
we'll expedite this

625
00:24:31,388 --> 00:24:33,430
and tow in the car
to do a complete process.

626
00:24:33,431 --> 00:24:34,849
- Thank you.

00:24:34,891 --> 00:24:36,761
Let us know if you
find anything else.

628
00:24:36,921 --> 00:24:41,605
- Wait, tow the car?
- Yeah, it's all right, Ned.

629
00:24:41,606 --> 00:24:43,273
I'm sure insurance
will get you a rental.

630
00:24:43,274 --> 00:24:44,483
- No, no, I don't
have insurance.

631
00:24:44,484 --> 00:24:46,653
- Well, sucks to be you.

- Bad news, Q.
- What?

633
00:24:50,241 --> 00:24:51,448
Oh, don't tell me
Ned didn't stand up.

634
00:24:51,449 --> 00:24:52,742
- No, bingo.

635
00:24:52,743 --> 00:24:54,284
And we found a roll
of duct tape in his car,

636
00:24:54,285 --> 00:24:55,787
which he said you borrowed.

637
00:24:55,870 --> 00:24:57,038
- I paid him $100.

00:24:57,122 --> 00:24:58,998
- Yeah?
For the car or the alibi?

639
00:24:59,082 --> 00:25:01,251
- Look, guys, I didn't do-

640
00:25:01,334 --> 00:25:03,128
- Enough, scumbag. We got you.

641
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:05,088
You lied to us about an alibi.

642
00:25:05,171 --> 00:25:06,840
You have a prior for stalking.

643
00:25:06,881 --> 00:25:08,800
We found your prints
on the duct tape.

644
00:25:08,842 --> 00:25:11,136
And you called Nikki 36 times.

645
00:25:11,137 --> 00:25:12,261
We have the phone records.

646
00:25:12,262 --> 00:25:13,847
You're done.

647
00:25:13,888 --> 00:25:17,225
- Okay, listen,
I didn't wanna tell.

648
00:25:17,392 --> 00:25:18,643
I promised Nikki.

649
00:25:18,644 --> 00:25:19,685
But I am not going down
for something

650
00:25:19,686 --> 00:25:20,937
that she put me up to.

651
00:25:20,938 --> 00:25:22,813
- What the hell are
you babbling about now?

652
00:25:22,814 --> 00:25:24,624
- She orchestrated
the whole thing.

653
00:25:24,625 --> 00:25:26,066
She found out her boyfriend
was cheating on her,

654
00:25:26,067 --> 00:25:27,610
and she wanted revenge.

655
00:25:27,611 --> 00:25:30,237
She wanted to-to bring all
this heat on him or whatever,

656
00:25:30,238 --> 00:25:32,490
so she asked me
to fake kidnap her.

657
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,661
- You're full of it.

658
00:25:36,703 --> 00:25:37,912
- Well, you saw the news.

659
00:25:37,996 --> 00:25:39,686
Even your boss
didn't rule it out.

660
00:25:39,706 --> 00:25:42,459
- You-you must really
think we're stupid, huh?

661
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:44,336
- Dan Olin.

662
00:25:44,502 --> 00:25:46,504
- What about him?
- He's my lawyer.

663
00:25:46,546 --> 00:25:48,465
I'm-I'm done with you bozos.

664
00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:55,055
* *

665
00:25:56,431 --> 00:25:58,099
- You believe this guy?
- No.

666
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:00,726
But this is not the worst move
I've seen a defendant make.

667
00:26:00,727 --> 00:26:02,187
- You think it holds up?

668
00:26:02,188 --> 00:26:04,271
- Look, I told Tynan
that the press conference

669
00:26:04,272 --> 00:26:08,276
was a bad idea, and now
she's handed him a defense.

670
00:26:11,738 --> 00:26:13,615
- Hey, Liv, we got a problem.

671
00:26:13,616 --> 00:26:15,199
- Oh, well,
good morning to you too.

672
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,250
What's the problem?

673
00:26:16,284 --> 00:26:17,744
- Griffin's DD5s.

674
00:26:17,827 --> 00:26:19,496
- Carisi, hold on.

675
00:26:19,579 --> 00:26:22,665
Hey, what's going on?

676
00:26:22,707 --> 00:26:24,417
- Hey, Griffin.

677
00:26:24,418 --> 00:26:25,751
Who taught you
how to write reports?

678
00:26:25,752 --> 00:26:27,003
- Carisi.

679
00:26:27,004 --> 00:26:28,545
- What report are you-what?
I just-

680
00:26:28,546 --> 00:26:30,047
- Carisi, hold on.
Take it easy.

681
00:26:30,048 --> 00:26:31,257
- Take it easy?

682
00:26:31,258 --> 00:26:32,549
We're about to go to trial,

683
00:26:32,550 --> 00:26:34,259
and Griffin's 5s
are gonna sink us.

684
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:36,680
"Greg Morrison
is the prime suspect

685
00:26:36,681 --> 00:26:38,847
"in the disappearance
and probable murder

686
00:26:38,848 --> 00:26:40,418
of Nikki Suarez."
What is that?

687
00:26:40,433 --> 00:26:41,810
- It's my fault.

688
00:26:41,811 --> 00:26:43,268
I was the one who was wrong
on Morrison,

689
00:26:43,269 --> 00:26:46,606
and I let my ego
get the best of me.

690
00:26:46,607 --> 00:26:48,023
I should have known
better, all right?

691
00:26:48,024 --> 00:26:49,317
Don't put this on Griffin.

692
00:26:49,401 --> 00:26:50,985
- It's nobody's fault.

693
00:26:51,111 --> 00:26:53,405
He was our prime suspect
at the time.

694
00:26:53,406 --> 00:26:56,115
Carisi, if you wanna be mad
at somebody, direct it at me.

695
00:26:56,116 --> 00:26:57,449
- You are not gonna
be the one on the stand

696
00:26:57,450 --> 00:26:58,450
defending this report.

697
00:26:58,451 --> 00:27:00,412
Olin is gonna roast this kid.

698
00:27:00,453 --> 00:27:04,040
- It is not uncommon for a case
to take a different course.

699
00:27:04,082 --> 00:27:07,210
- Liv, with Tynan's
press conference and these 5s,

700
00:27:07,252 --> 00:27:08,461
we are in deep.

701
00:27:08,545 --> 00:27:10,922
- And we will be
prepared, Carisi.

702
00:27:11,006 --> 00:27:13,883
[tense music]

703
00:27:14,009 --> 00:27:16,011
* *

704
00:27:16,136 --> 00:27:19,180
- Detective, you had better
study up on your cross

705
00:27:19,222 --> 00:27:21,349
because with these 5s,
there is no way

706
00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:22,850
that I can keep you
off the stand.

707
00:27:22,851 --> 00:27:29,858
* *

708
00:27:36,733 --> 00:27:38,032
.

709
00:27:38,033 --> 00:27:40,383
- He said he was gonna
come back with other men,

710
00:27:40,410 --> 00:27:42,287
and if I moved,
he'd know and kill me.

711
00:27:42,328 --> 00:27:43,663
- And what did you do?

712
00:27:43,747 --> 00:27:46,666
- I was able to free myself.

713
00:27:46,750 --> 00:27:48,710
The next thing I remember,

714
00:27:48,711 --> 00:27:50,961
Captain Benson was talking
to me in the bodega.

715
00:27:50,962 --> 00:27:53,715
- Ms. Suarez, there's been
some media speculation

716
00:27:53,757 --> 00:27:55,800
that you might have
had something to do

717
00:27:55,801 --> 00:27:57,009
with orchestrating this crime.

718
00:27:57,010 --> 00:27:58,052
Did you?

719
00:27:58,053 --> 00:27:59,721
- Absolutely not.

720
00:27:59,722 --> 00:28:00,971
What happened to me
was horrific.

721
00:28:00,972 --> 00:28:02,891
I-I have trouble sleeping.

722
00:28:03,058 --> 00:28:04,768
I can hardly eat.

723
00:28:04,809 --> 00:28:08,104
To suggest I had anything
to do with this is a lie.

724
00:28:08,146 --> 00:28:09,230
- Thank you, Nikki.

725
00:28:09,314 --> 00:28:12,025
Nothing further, Your Honor.

726
00:28:12,150 --> 00:28:14,027
- Mr. Olin.

727
00:28:14,152 --> 00:28:15,202
- Thank you, Judge.

728
00:28:17,447 --> 00:28:20,283
Ms. Suarez,

729
00:28:20,367 --> 00:28:23,995
can you identify the man
who did this to you?

730
00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:25,663
- No, I couldn't see him.

731
00:28:25,705 --> 00:28:27,082
My eyes were taped closed.

732
00:28:27,123 --> 00:28:30,460
- Could you identify
his voice perhaps?

733
00:28:30,543 --> 00:28:33,380
- He used some sort
of voice-altering device.

734
00:28:33,463 --> 00:28:36,132
- A voice-altering device?

735
00:28:36,216 --> 00:28:38,134
- Yes.

736
00:28:38,176 --> 00:28:41,471
- So as you sit here today,
you can't tell this jury

737
00:28:41,513 --> 00:28:44,224
that it was my client
who did this horrible thing

738
00:28:44,349 --> 00:28:45,934
to you, correct?

739
00:28:48,728 --> 00:28:51,147
- That's true.

740
00:28:51,189 --> 00:28:52,774
- Thank you.

741
00:28:52,899 --> 00:28:53,949
I'm done, Judge.

742
00:28:57,070 --> 00:28:59,030
- Well, the print is partial,

743
00:28:59,114 --> 00:29:02,200
meaning it doesn't contain
all possible ridge detail.

744
00:29:02,283 --> 00:29:05,173
There is a sufficient number
of unique characteristics

745
00:29:05,174 --> 00:29:07,538
that correspond with the
defendant's left thumbprint.

746
00:29:07,539 --> 00:29:10,375
In my professional opinion,
the partial latent print

747
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:12,808
is consistent to have
come from the defendant.

748
00:29:12,809 --> 00:29:13,752
- Thank you, Detective.

749
00:29:13,753 --> 00:29:14,803
Nothing further.

750
00:29:14,804 --> 00:29:20,676
- Are you familiar with the
President's Council of Advisors

751
00:29:20,677 --> 00:29:24,389
on Science and Technology's
2016 report,

752
00:29:24,472 --> 00:29:27,767
which proved that
error rates rise for partial

753
00:29:27,851 --> 00:29:30,979
or poor quality prints,
correct?

754
00:29:31,146 --> 00:29:32,814
- It does, yes.

755
00:29:32,815 --> 00:29:35,024
- Now, on direct, you said
my client's thumbprint

756
00:29:35,025 --> 00:29:37,193
was consistent
with the print recovered.

757
00:29:37,277 --> 00:29:38,737
- I did.

758
00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:41,906
- But you can't say with
absolute scientific certainty

759
00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:45,618
that it is, in fact, my
client's thumbprint, correct?

760
00:29:45,619 --> 00:29:46,994
- That's true, but I think-

761
00:29:46,995 --> 00:29:49,247
- That's enough.
Thank you, Detective.

762
00:29:49,330 --> 00:29:50,380
I'm done.

763
00:29:52,917 --> 00:29:55,754
- And can you tell the jury
what the defendant told you

764
00:29:55,795 --> 00:29:58,173
about his supposed alibi?

765
00:29:58,256 --> 00:30:00,300
- Yeah, he said
he was innocent

766
00:30:00,383 --> 00:30:02,927
because he was
with a Ned Wilson

767
00:30:02,969 --> 00:30:04,137
at the time of the crime.

768
00:30:04,262 --> 00:30:05,680
- And was he?

769
00:30:05,722 --> 00:30:07,599
- No.

770
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,309
No, Captain Curry and Sergeant
Rollins were able to ascertain

771
00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:12,103
that he was lying about that.

772
00:30:12,187 --> 00:30:14,898
- Detective, is it fair to say
that at the beginning

773
00:30:14,899 --> 00:30:17,149
of this investigation,
you and your partner

774
00:30:17,150 --> 00:30:19,818
believed that Greg Morrison
could have been involved

775
00:30:19,819 --> 00:30:21,571
in Ms. Suarez's disappearance?

776
00:30:21,654 --> 00:30:23,198
- Yeah.

777
00:30:23,239 --> 00:30:25,784
Yeah, but over the course
of the investigation,

778
00:30:25,909 --> 00:30:27,899
we determined that
he was not involved.

779
00:30:27,911 --> 00:30:29,961
- Thank you, Detective.
Nothing further.

780
00:30:33,458 --> 00:30:36,503
- You said "we determined."

781
00:30:36,628 --> 00:30:38,630
Who is "we"?

782
00:30:38,755 --> 00:30:41,925
- Myself, Detective Bruno,
our entire team.

783
00:30:41,966 --> 00:30:45,470
- So that's your job,
to determine who is guilty?

784
00:30:45,553 --> 00:30:48,348
- We make determinations
based on the evidence.

785
00:30:48,473 --> 00:30:51,059
- And, in fact,
you initially determined that-

786
00:30:51,142 --> 00:30:52,227
let me get this right.

787
00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:55,814
You determined that,
and I quote,

788
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:58,274
"Greg Morrison is
the prime suspect

789
00:30:58,275 --> 00:31:00,401
"in the disappearance
and probable murder

790
00:31:00,402 --> 00:31:03,029
of Nikki Suarez."

791
00:31:03,154 --> 00:31:04,280
- Yes, but-

792
00:31:04,364 --> 00:31:07,117
- Is that what you wrote
in your DD5?

793
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,326
- Yes.

794
00:31:08,327 --> 00:31:09,910
- Because you knew
at the time

795
00:31:09,911 --> 00:31:11,578
that Morrison
was the prime suspect.

796
00:31:11,579 --> 00:31:13,269
- Yeah, so, well,
we-at the time,

797
00:31:13,331 --> 00:31:14,833
we determined that he was-

798
00:31:14,834 --> 00:31:17,376
- It sounds like you were
acting like judge and jury.

799
00:31:17,377 --> 00:31:18,962
- What? No-
- That's enough.

800
00:31:19,045 --> 00:31:20,964
Let me ask you this, Detective.

801
00:31:21,047 --> 00:31:23,717
Did there come a time
when you determined

802
00:31:23,842 --> 00:31:27,429
that Ms. Suarez might have
orchestrated this entire hoax?

803
00:31:27,595 --> 00:31:29,472
- No.
- No?

804
00:31:29,514 --> 00:31:32,767
Did you see Chief of Detectives
Tynan's press conference?

805
00:31:32,851 --> 00:31:34,436
- Yes, I did, but-

806
00:31:34,477 --> 00:31:37,397
- When asked about
Ms. Suarez orchestrating

807
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,276
a "Gone Girl" type hoax,
what did she say?

808
00:31:41,277 --> 00:31:43,152
- What did she-
I-I-I don't remember.

809
00:31:43,153 --> 00:31:46,948
- She said that
the investigation was ongoing.

810
00:31:46,990 --> 00:31:50,076
Same words you just said,
ongoing investigation.

811
00:31:50,201 --> 00:31:51,411
- Yeah, yeah.

812
00:31:51,453 --> 00:31:53,872
- Isn't it true
that the entire NYPD

813
00:31:53,913 --> 00:31:55,915
was grasping at straws

814
00:31:55,999 --> 00:32:00,253
throughout this
ongoing investigation?

815
00:32:00,337 --> 00:32:01,880
- Well, I-

816
00:32:02,047 --> 00:32:03,798
I don't understand
the question.

817
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,190
- Some of you thought
Greg Morrison was guilty.

818
00:32:06,259 --> 00:32:07,886
Others thought it was a hoax.

819
00:32:08,011 --> 00:32:10,847
Did anyone bother to do
any follow-up whatsoever

820
00:32:10,930 --> 00:32:13,933
to determine if Greg Morrison
or Ms. Suarez

821
00:32:13,975 --> 00:32:16,186
were in any way involved
in this hoax?

822
00:32:16,187 --> 00:32:17,770
- We determined your client
was guilty and-

823
00:32:17,771 --> 00:32:19,606
- Because you played
judge and jury

824
00:32:19,731 --> 00:32:22,442
throughout this ongoing
investigation, correct?

825
00:32:22,567 --> 00:32:25,028
- No, no, I-no.

826
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:26,863
[tense music]

827
00:32:26,946 --> 00:32:29,574
- I'm done with this witness,
Your Honor.

828
00:32:29,657 --> 00:32:34,996
* *

829
00:32:41,288 --> 00:32:42,670
.

830
00:32:42,671 --> 00:32:43,721
- Hey.

831
00:32:45,924 --> 00:32:48,218
- How's Griffin?

832
00:32:48,301 --> 00:32:50,720
- He's feeling defeated.

833
00:32:50,762 --> 00:32:51,888
- Defeated?

834
00:32:51,930 --> 00:32:53,807
That's a good word.

835
00:32:53,890 --> 00:32:55,642
Olin's killing us.

836
00:32:55,643 --> 00:32:57,643
He's taking a shotgun approach,
and each pellet's

837
00:32:57,644 --> 00:32:59,854
ripping holes in our case.

838
00:32:59,938 --> 00:33:00,988
- Carisi...

839
00:33:03,316 --> 00:33:05,360
Put me up there.
- What?

840
00:33:05,402 --> 00:33:07,632
- You need somebody
to marshal the evidence.

841
00:33:07,696 --> 00:33:10,490
You need somebody
to show the jury the nature

842
00:33:10,573 --> 00:33:12,283
of ongoing investigations.

843
00:33:12,284 --> 00:33:13,659
- I don't think that will help.

844
00:33:13,660 --> 00:33:16,413
- Well, then let me
at least get up there

845
00:33:16,496 --> 00:33:19,666
and defend my people
and take responsibility.

846
00:33:19,667 --> 00:33:20,833
- Liv, you don't
have to do this.

847
00:33:20,834 --> 00:33:23,420
- We have nothing to lose.

848
00:33:23,421 --> 00:33:24,795
- Olin will come at you hard.

849
00:33:24,796 --> 00:33:26,423
- Let him try.

850
00:33:26,506 --> 00:33:28,133
I'm not scared of him.

851
00:33:33,263 --> 00:33:36,224
The defendant met the victim
at a prior date.

852
00:33:36,225 --> 00:33:37,933
He was undoubtedly
stalking her.

853
00:33:37,934 --> 00:33:41,271
He had access
to the voice-altering software.

854
00:33:41,396 --> 00:33:44,566
And his print
was on the duct tape.

855
00:33:44,691 --> 00:33:47,110
Now, all of these facts,

856
00:33:47,193 --> 00:33:49,112
when they're viewed
in isolation,

857
00:33:49,154 --> 00:33:53,324
may seem circumstantial,
but when viewed in totality,

858
00:33:53,450 --> 00:33:56,119
it made us understand
that the defendant

859
00:33:56,286 --> 00:34:00,206
planned and executed the rape
and kidnapping of Nikki Suarez.

860
00:34:00,248 --> 00:34:02,375
- Thank you, Captain.
Nothing further.

861
00:34:06,296 --> 00:34:08,506
- Captain Benson,
where were you

862
00:34:08,507 --> 00:34:11,133
when Detectives Bruno
and Griffin first brought

863
00:34:11,134 --> 00:34:12,718
Mr. Morrison in
for questioning?

864
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:13,887
- Objection. Relevance.

865
00:34:14,012 --> 00:34:16,473
- Overruled.

866
00:34:16,556 --> 00:34:18,391
- I was at a police conference.

867
00:34:18,516 --> 00:34:19,726
- With Chief Tynan?

868
00:34:19,893 --> 00:34:21,644
- Yes.

869
00:34:21,686 --> 00:34:24,696
- So you were unavailable to
supervise this investigation

870
00:34:24,773 --> 00:34:26,441
from the start.

871
00:34:26,524 --> 00:34:29,654
- No, I was in constant contact
with my entire team throughout.

872
00:34:31,696 --> 00:34:34,074
- Did you tell Chief Tynan
to hold

873
00:34:34,075 --> 00:34:35,741
the now-infamous
press conference?

874
00:34:35,742 --> 00:34:37,744
- No, I did not.

875
00:34:37,786 --> 00:34:39,704
- But you saw it.
- Yes, of course.

876
00:34:39,871 --> 00:34:42,290
- So after you saw
her performance,

877
00:34:42,374 --> 00:34:44,584
where she did not
dispute the possibility

878
00:34:44,709 --> 00:34:47,712
that Ms. Suarez orchestrated
her own kidnapping,

879
00:34:47,754 --> 00:34:49,172
did you call Chief Tynan?

880
00:34:49,255 --> 00:34:51,841
- No, I did not,

881
00:34:51,883 --> 00:34:57,013
because I knew that
the allegation was ridiculous.

882
00:34:57,097 --> 00:34:59,849
- That was your determination.

883
00:34:59,891 --> 00:35:02,977
- That is a fact.

884
00:35:03,019 --> 00:35:04,187
- Hmm.

885
00:35:04,229 --> 00:35:06,147
Very good, Captain.

886
00:35:06,148 --> 00:35:09,191
But you know that facts are for
the jury to determine, correct?

887
00:35:09,192 --> 00:35:12,362
- I know my job, and I
understand the job of the jury,

888
00:35:12,445 --> 00:35:15,115
but all I can tell you
is that the defendant raped

889
00:35:15,198 --> 00:35:16,783
and kidnapped Nikki Suarez.

890
00:35:16,866 --> 00:35:18,535
- Objection. Not responsive.

891
00:35:18,576 --> 00:35:20,120
- Sustained.

892
00:35:20,286 --> 00:35:22,706
Jury will disregard
Captain Benson's opinion

893
00:35:22,789 --> 00:35:25,333
as to the defendant's
guilt or innocence.

894
00:35:28,420 --> 00:35:30,171
Thank you, Your Honor.

895
00:35:30,296 --> 00:35:31,756
No further questions.

896
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,718
[tense music]

897
00:35:34,843 --> 00:35:41,766
* *

898
00:35:41,808 --> 00:35:44,227
- Well, we did what we could.

899
00:35:44,352 --> 00:35:46,813
- Well, it doesn't feel
like enough.

900
00:35:46,896 --> 00:35:50,233
- Mr. Carisi?
The judge wants you back.

901
00:35:50,275 --> 00:35:51,776
- Here we go.

902
00:35:51,860 --> 00:35:58,616
* *

903
00:36:01,661 --> 00:36:04,664
- I have a note from the jury.

904
00:36:04,748 --> 00:36:08,335
They are, in their words,
hopelessly deadlocked.

905
00:36:13,673 --> 00:36:16,509
It's been two days.
I'm declaring a mistrial.

906
00:36:16,510 --> 00:36:17,968
- Your Honor,
in light of this,

907
00:36:17,969 --> 00:36:19,846
I ask that you
release Mr. Welsum.

908
00:36:19,847 --> 00:36:21,513
- Judge, we will
retry this case

909
00:36:21,514 --> 00:36:23,058
as soon as you are available.

910
00:36:23,059 --> 00:36:24,099
The people move to continue
to remand.

911
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:25,435
- Granted.

912
00:36:25,518 --> 00:36:27,354
Defendant is remanded.

913
00:36:27,355 --> 00:36:29,897
We'll adjourn for three weeks
and set a new trial date.

914
00:36:29,898 --> 00:36:36,863
* *

915
00:36:39,699 --> 00:36:41,659
- Hey, heads up, guys.

916
00:36:41,701 --> 00:36:43,411
I have something I wanna say.

917
00:36:46,331 --> 00:36:47,624
What is this?

918
00:36:47,791 --> 00:36:49,209
- It's my transfer papers.

919
00:36:49,210 --> 00:36:50,668
I don't think I should
be here anymore.

920
00:36:50,669 --> 00:36:52,462
- Okay.
Sit-sit down, Detective.

921
00:36:52,545 --> 00:36:53,713
Sit down.

922
00:36:57,175 --> 00:36:59,594
We all did our jobs.

923
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,264
Obviously, this is not
the outcome that we wanted,

924
00:37:03,306 --> 00:37:08,436
but it's not over,
not by a long shot.

925
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:13,191
Now, these cases are tough.

926
00:37:13,274 --> 00:37:17,529
But we will not stop
until Nikki gets justice.

927
00:37:19,572 --> 00:37:21,192
Obviously you're disappointed.

928
00:37:21,241 --> 00:37:23,785
So am I.

929
00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:25,954
But I am proud of you.

930
00:37:33,837 --> 00:37:38,967
I need you all to go home
and get some rest

931
00:37:39,050 --> 00:37:41,177
because we're
back at it tomorrow.

932
00:37:41,261 --> 00:37:42,804
Okay?

933
00:37:45,432 --> 00:37:47,100
Okay.

934
00:37:47,183 --> 00:37:48,893
Chief Tynan.

935
00:37:48,894 --> 00:37:50,185
- Since you always
seem so busy,

936
00:37:50,186 --> 00:37:52,897
I decided to come see you.

937
00:37:52,981 --> 00:37:54,607
- Okay.

938
00:37:54,608 --> 00:37:56,734
- Been a long time since
I've been in a squad room.

939
00:37:56,735 --> 00:37:59,446
[chuckles]
Still feels like home.

940
00:38:02,198 --> 00:38:03,658
Captain, may we have a word?

941
00:38:03,783 --> 00:38:05,368
- Of course, of course.

942
00:38:05,410 --> 00:38:08,121
This way, my office.

943
00:38:08,163 --> 00:38:10,999
- See you
for Sunday dinner, Jake.

944
00:38:11,124 --> 00:38:12,814
- Yeah, yeah, Chief.
I'll be there.

945
00:38:12,876 --> 00:38:14,127
- Excellent.

946
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,675
- Hey, um, Griff,
can I be your plus-one?

947
00:38:20,759 --> 00:38:22,802
- I think we should
throw a wire on him.

948
00:38:22,803 --> 00:38:25,012
- Hey, I can help you put
these back together, partner.

949
00:38:25,013 --> 00:38:27,057
- Ha, ha.
- Who's got the tape?

950
00:38:27,140 --> 00:38:28,350
- Yeah.

951
00:38:28,433 --> 00:38:30,185
You guys are very funny.

952
00:38:33,021 --> 00:38:34,356
[sighs]

953
00:38:35,940 --> 00:38:39,361
- I'm concerned.

954
00:38:39,402 --> 00:38:41,738
- We're gonna get him
at the retrial.

955
00:38:41,739 --> 00:38:43,322
- From what I hear,
Jake looked like a fool

956
00:38:43,323 --> 00:38:44,373
on the witness stand.

957
00:38:44,449 --> 00:38:46,201
- He did not.

958
00:38:46,242 --> 00:38:49,913
He held his own
against a very skilled lawyer

959
00:38:50,038 --> 00:38:53,750
on an extremely difficult case.

960
00:38:53,833 --> 00:38:56,753
And if I may,

961
00:38:56,754 --> 00:38:58,671
your press conference
didn't help matters.

962
00:38:58,672 --> 00:39:00,632
- My press conference?

963
00:39:00,715 --> 00:39:03,426
No, it was the department's
press conference,

964
00:39:03,427 --> 00:39:05,135
one that
the police commissioner

965
00:39:05,136 --> 00:39:07,180
asked me to conduct,
which I did

966
00:39:07,347 --> 00:39:10,225
because I understand
the chain of command.

967
00:39:10,308 --> 00:39:12,727
- This isn't about
chain of command.

968
00:39:12,811 --> 00:39:15,230
I told you it was premature.

969
00:39:15,313 --> 00:39:18,233
- Captain, it is
unbelievable to me

970
00:39:18,274 --> 00:39:21,152
that after all these years
in law enforcement,

971
00:39:21,153 --> 00:39:23,654
you seem to have
a fundamental misunderstanding

972
00:39:23,655 --> 00:39:26,074
of what your job is.

973
00:39:30,495 --> 00:39:36,292
- My job is to help victims,

974
00:39:36,376 --> 00:39:37,502
end of story.

975
00:39:37,585 --> 00:39:40,630
- Your job, as a captain,

976
00:39:40,714 --> 00:39:43,466
is not to boom doors with ESU

977
00:39:43,550 --> 00:39:46,386
or to search for evidence
with the K-9 unit.

978
00:39:46,553 --> 00:39:49,597
It is to teach
and oversee your detectives

979
00:39:49,681 --> 00:39:52,267
so that you do not
find yourself in the position

980
00:39:52,350 --> 00:39:54,436
of having to defend
their shortcomings.

981
00:39:54,477 --> 00:39:57,897
- My team is the best
in the department.

982
00:39:57,939 --> 00:40:00,316
- I'm sure you believe that.
- I do.

983
00:40:00,317 --> 00:40:02,609
- I'm starting to question
your supervision.

984
00:40:02,610 --> 00:40:05,488
[tense music]

985
00:40:05,530 --> 00:40:07,157
- Meaning what?

986
00:40:07,198 --> 00:40:10,201
- You should reconsider my
offer to come to Police Plaza.

987
00:40:10,285 --> 00:40:11,786
- So you can keep an eye on me?

988
00:40:11,787 --> 00:40:13,370
- So this unit
can be led by a captain

989
00:40:13,371 --> 00:40:14,705
who understands
how to supervise.

990
00:40:14,706 --> 00:40:16,666
- I'm not interested.

991
00:40:16,750 --> 00:40:19,294
- Well, Captain,
chain of command

992
00:40:19,336 --> 00:40:23,673
dictates that that is not
your decision to make.

993
00:40:23,757 --> 00:40:27,052
- So, Chief, I've been here
for a very long time,

994
00:40:27,135 --> 00:40:33,183
and I have seen administrators
like you come and go.

995
00:40:33,266 --> 00:40:35,685
I know how to do my job.

996
00:40:35,727 --> 00:40:38,688
And I would like very much
for us to work together

997
00:40:38,813 --> 00:40:41,483
and do something good
for this city.

998
00:40:41,524 --> 00:40:44,027
But you don't need to tell me
how to do my job.

999
00:40:44,110 --> 00:40:47,197
What you need to do
is stay out of my way.

1001
00:40:56,956 --> 00:40:58,833
- That is not how this works.

1002
00:41:02,087 --> 00:41:04,047
Good night, Captain.
