00:00:04,343 --> 00:00:07,702
- In the criminal justice
system,

2
00:00:07,703 --> 00:00:08,920
sexually based offenses

3
00:00:08,921 --> 00:00:11,358
are considered
especially heinous.

4
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:13,708
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

5
00:00:13,709 --> 00:00:15,492
who investigate
these vicious felonies

6
00:00:15,493 --> 00:00:16,928
are members of an elite squad

7
00:00:16,929 --> 00:00:19,105
known as
the Special Victims Unit.

8
00:00:19,106 --> 00:00:22,283
These are their stories.

9
00:00:22,284 --> 00:00:24,153
- Wait, yes. I love that one.
[laughter]

10

- No, Ricky, you can't DoorDash

an order of wings
to the museum.

12
00:00:27,549 --> 00:00:29,158
Come on. Back in.
- Oh!

13
00:00:29,159 --> 00:00:30,507
- Hey, Sofia, Poppy.

14
00:00:30,508 --> 00:00:32,466
Back in your seats
before someone gets hurt.

15
00:00:32,467 --> 00:00:34,903
[laughter]
Now. Thank you.

16
00:00:34,904 --> 00:00:36,470
No, Mom.
I don't wanna study medicine.

17
00:00:36,471 --> 00:00:38,559
I wanna teach.
I wanna work with kids.

You okay?

22
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,352
Rick, you okay?
- Think so.

23
00:00:49,353 --> 00:00:51,528
- Skylar, you good?
Help open the door.

24
00:00:51,529 --> 00:00:53,226
Listen up.
Is anybody too hurt to move?

25
00:00:53,227 --> 00:00:54,444
Okay, good.

26
00:00:54,445 --> 00:00:55,837
We're gonna calmly
exit the bus,

27
00:00:55,838 --> 00:00:56,881
cross the street,
and line up on the sidewalk.

28
00:00:56,882 --> 00:00:58,100
Is that clear?

29
00:00:58,101 --> 00:00:59,536
Let's go. One by one.
Single file. Yes.

30
00:00:59,537 --> 00:01:01,408
- Hey, let's go. Let's go.
Come on. You can do it.

31
00:01:01,409 --> 00:01:03,018
Let me see your hand.

32
00:01:03,019 --> 00:01:04,802
- Ow. Is it bad?

33
00:01:04,803 --> 00:01:06,500
- It's not too deep.
We'll get it looked at.

34
00:01:06,501 --> 00:01:07,892
Just keep applying pressure, okay?

35
00:01:07,893 --> 00:01:09,242
- Okay.
- Keep holding onto that.

36
00:01:09,243 --> 00:01:10,417
Anyone else with cuts? Bruises?

37
00:01:10,418 --> 00:01:12,723
- Uh, Ms. Reed?
- Yeah?

38
00:01:12,724 --> 00:01:14,029
Penny, what's wrong?

39
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:17,685
- [groaning]

00:01:17,686 --> 00:01:19,078
- [words echoing]
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

41
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:22,777
Penny. Hey, talk to me.

42
00:01:22,778 --> 00:01:25,432
- I appreciate you humoring
my monthly check-in.

43
00:01:25,433 --> 00:01:28,087
I'm sure you'd rather
spend downtime with the family.

44
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:29,262
How old is your son?

45
00:01:29,263 --> 00:01:30,959
- Uh, Noah is 15.

46
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,397
And he is-he's a good kid.

47
00:01:34,398 --> 00:01:36,051
Do you-do you have kids?

48
00:01:36,052 --> 00:01:37,400
- Oh, no.

49
00:01:37,401 --> 00:01:40,490
Um, that wasn't
in the cards for me.

50
00:01:40,491 --> 00:01:41,578
- Mm.

51
00:01:41,579 --> 00:01:44,103
- One benefit of working at 1PP

52
00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:49,760
in, say, a newly created deputy
chief position is schedule.

53
00:01:49,761 --> 00:01:52,111
Reasonable hours,
more time with the fam.

54
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:54,287
- Chief Tynan,

55
00:01:54,288 --> 00:01:57,594
I think I've been
very clear with you about this.

56
00:01:57,595 --> 00:02:00,902
I'm just-
I'm not looking for a desk job.

57
00:02:00,903 --> 00:02:02,338
[soft piano music playing]

58
00:02:02,339 --> 00:02:03,948
- I can tell.

59
00:02:03,949 --> 00:02:05,733
You're out in the field more
than any other captain

60
00:02:05,734 --> 00:02:08,039
in the department.

61
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,739
- I'm out in the field because
victims are in the field.

62
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:14,698
And that is where
I'm the most useful.

63
00:02:14,699 --> 00:02:18,180
- So I'm offering you something
that you'll never want.

64
00:02:18,181 --> 00:02:19,399
- Pretty much.

65
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,270
- Good to know.

66
00:02:21,271 --> 00:02:24,622
[chuckles softly]
Amanda Rollins.

67
00:02:26,494 --> 00:02:28,147
- What about her?

68
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:31,672
- Well, you're down another
detective with Velasco leaving.

69
00:02:31,673 --> 00:02:35,764
Would you be interested
in reacquiring Rollins?

70
00:02:36,678 --> 00:02:40,071
- I didn't know that
she was looking for a move.

71
00:02:40,072 --> 00:02:43,293
- My sources say
she's shopping around.

72
00:02:47,993 --> 00:02:49,994
Captain,
I'm not trying to play you.

73
00:02:49,995 --> 00:02:52,172
- [chuckling] Sure you are.

74
00:02:52,694 --> 00:02:56,653
- If anything, at most,

75
00:02:56,654 --> 00:02:59,788
I'm trying to get you
to like me.

76
00:02:59,789 --> 00:03:01,919
I know you take care
of your people,

77
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,748
and they are certainly loyal
to you.

78
00:03:04,749 --> 00:03:07,621
I see no downside
to shifting her back to SVU.

79
00:03:07,622 --> 00:03:09,057
Do you?

80
00:03:09,058 --> 00:03:11,929
[suspenseful music]

81
00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:14,628
? ?

82
00:03:14,629 --> 00:03:16,195
- Hi.
We're looking for our daughter.

83
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:19,459
Jesus.

84
00:03:19,460 --> 00:03:20,547
Hi. Our daughter is here.

85
00:03:20,548 --> 00:03:21,896
Penny Wilson.
- Penny Wilson.

86
00:03:21,897 --> 00:03:23,898
- Mr. and Mrs. Wilson?
- Yeah.

87
00:03:23,899 --> 00:03:25,552
- Are you Penny Wilson's
parents?

88
00:03:25,553 --> 00:03:26,857
- Please, what's happening?
- Yeah. Where's our daughter?

89
00:03:26,858 --> 00:03:28,250
- She came in with
severe hemorrhaging

90
00:03:28,251 --> 00:03:29,599
and was rushed into surgery
when she arrived.

91
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,210
We're doing all we can
to stabilize her.

92
00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:33,212
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- Is she gonna be okay?

93
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:35,953
- Penny suffered a rupture
of her fallopian tube.

94
00:03:35,954 --> 00:03:38,042
Lost almost 2 liters of blood.

95
00:03:38,043 --> 00:03:40,088
Her situation is grave.

96
00:03:40,089 --> 00:03:42,656
Uh, these are
detectives Bruno and Griffin.

97
00:03:42,657 --> 00:03:44,701
They're with NYPD
Special Victims Unit.

98
00:03:44,702 --> 00:03:46,355
- Special victims? Why?

99
00:03:46,356 --> 00:03:48,357
- The hospital called us
due to Penny's age

100
00:03:48,358 --> 00:03:50,968
and the nature of her injuries.

101
00:03:50,969 --> 00:03:52,492
- What are you saying?

102
00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:54,145
- Did you know
your daughter was pregnant?

103
00:03:54,146 --> 00:04:00,326
? ?

104
00:04:00,327 --> 00:04:03,198
[dramatic music]

105
00:04:03,199 --> 00:04:10,728
? ?

106
00:04:47,958 --> 00:04:51,333
- Penny never even
mentioned boys,

107
00:04:51,334 --> 00:04:52,508
dating, nothing like that.

108
00:04:52,509 --> 00:04:53,944
- No, no.

109
00:04:53,945 --> 00:04:55,424
If-if she had a boyfriend,
we would have known.

110
00:04:55,425 --> 00:04:57,034
- She's only 13.

111
00:04:57,035 --> 00:05:00,299
- Have you noticed her hanging
out with any new people,

112
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,301
new places?

113
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:04,085
- Uh-
- Not really.

114
00:05:04,086 --> 00:05:08,089
She has school,
a few extracurriculars.

115
00:05:08,090 --> 00:05:10,221
- So we both-we both work,

116
00:05:10,222 --> 00:05:11,788
so sometimes,
we're not home until dinner.

117
00:05:11,789 --> 00:05:13,747
But no, we trust our daughter.

118
00:05:13,748 --> 00:05:15,444
She's a-she's a good kid.

119
00:05:15,445 --> 00:05:17,054
- None of this makes sense.

120
00:05:17,055 --> 00:05:18,578
- And I promise you

121
00:05:18,579 --> 00:05:21,842
we're doing everything
we can to get you some answers.

122
00:05:21,843 --> 00:05:23,322
- Whatever you need
to help our little girl.

123
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:25,455
- Okay.

124
00:05:26,761 --> 00:05:28,762
[sighs]
How's she doing?

125
00:05:28,763 --> 00:05:30,720
- Penny's still in surgery.
No change.

126
00:05:30,721 --> 00:05:32,287
If we're lucky,

127
00:05:32,288 --> 00:05:33,723
docs will be able to pull DNA
from the fetal remains.

128
00:05:33,724 --> 00:05:35,682
- Okay, well,
if we get the DNA,

129
00:05:35,683 --> 00:05:38,206
then we can test his
against it.

130
00:05:38,207 --> 00:05:40,426
What was your take
on the father?

131
00:05:40,427 --> 00:05:43,080
- Seemed appropriately upset
and forthcoming.

132
00:05:43,081 --> 00:05:44,604
Not sure if he's our guy.

133
00:05:44,605 --> 00:05:45,953
Obviously,
we can't rule him out.

134
00:05:45,954 --> 00:05:47,650
- Yeah. I have the same read.

135
00:05:47,651 --> 00:05:50,959
Meanwhile, I'll go to Penny's
school and see what I can find.

136
00:05:53,265 --> 00:05:54,875
- I'm confused.

137
00:05:54,876 --> 00:05:57,791
The other detectives cleared
our school of any wrongdoing.

138
00:05:57,792 --> 00:05:59,445
- We're not here about
the bus accident.

139
00:05:59,446 --> 00:06:02,186
We're actually here
about Penny Wilson.

140
00:06:02,187 --> 00:06:04,406
- Yeah, we'd like to speak
with her teachers and friends.

141
00:06:04,407 --> 00:06:08,541
- Oh, well,
it goes without saying

142
00:06:08,542 --> 00:06:11,370
that the thoughts and prayers
of the entire Lansdowne family

143
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:13,502
are with Ms. Wilson.

144
00:06:13,503 --> 00:06:16,810
But the board of trustees won't
allow police to roam the halls.

145
00:06:16,811 --> 00:06:18,420
It's far too disruptive.

146
00:06:18,421 --> 00:06:19,465
Apologies.

147
00:06:19,466 --> 00:06:21,423
- Okay. Sure.

148
00:06:21,424 --> 00:06:22,816
Yeah, I get that.

149
00:06:22,817 --> 00:06:24,513
Uh, it might
be better for everyone

150
00:06:24,514 --> 00:06:25,819
if we go straight to a judge.

151
00:06:25,820 --> 00:06:27,211
- Yeah, I-I agree.

152
00:06:27,212 --> 00:06:28,474
I mean, if your hands are tied,

153
00:06:28,475 --> 00:06:31,477
then I think
the best course of action

154
00:06:31,478 --> 00:06:33,392
would be to get a warrant.

155
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:35,524
- Yeah, it's gonna make this
a matter of public interest.

156
00:06:35,525 --> 00:06:38,005
- Yeah, and just so you know,
that means press.

157
00:06:38,006 --> 00:06:39,180
That means questions.

158
00:06:39,181 --> 00:06:40,399
- A lot of attention.

159
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,836
- If your board doesn't
want you-

160
00:06:42,837 --> 00:06:45,665
- These are
exceptional circumstances.

161
00:06:45,666 --> 00:06:47,406
I think they'd understand.

162
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:50,278
[suspenseful music]

163
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,932
? ?

164
00:06:51,933 --> 00:06:54,282
- I think that's a bio report.

165
00:06:54,283 --> 00:06:55,631
It was due this morning,

166
00:06:55,632 --> 00:06:58,460
but I can turn it in
so she doesn't get a zero.

167
00:06:58,461 --> 00:07:00,419
- Great. Uh, thanks.

168
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,682
You're-
you're friends with Penny?

169
00:07:02,683 --> 00:07:04,161
- I guess.

170
00:07:04,162 --> 00:07:06,337
Not really.
She's just in my homeroom.

171
00:07:06,338 --> 00:07:08,078
- Okay, great. Thank you.

172
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:09,558
- You're police?
- I am.

173
00:07:09,559 --> 00:07:11,517
I'm-I'm here to help Penny.

174
00:07:11,518 --> 00:07:13,649
- Yeah. She's cool.

175
00:07:13,650 --> 00:07:14,955
Always says hi in the hall.

176
00:07:14,956 --> 00:07:16,043
- Nice.

177
00:07:16,044 --> 00:07:17,000
- Not everybody does that.

178
00:07:17,001 --> 00:07:19,002
- Yeah.

179
00:07:19,003 --> 00:07:22,441
- Doesn't deserve the crap
people are saying about her.

180
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:26,750
- What, uh, what kind of crap
are people saying about her?

181
00:07:27,055 --> 00:07:30,927
- There's this group of guys
in my grade, real dickweeds.

182
00:07:30,928 --> 00:07:32,668
They've been sending
around some really

183
00:07:32,669 --> 00:07:35,150
messed-up photos of Penny.

184
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,635
- It never gets easier,
for what it's worth.

185
00:07:42,636 --> 00:07:44,245
- 13.

186
00:07:44,246 --> 00:07:47,291
I don't even-how the hell
do you guys handle this stuff?

187
00:07:47,292 --> 00:07:48,423
- Don't have kids.

188
00:07:48,424 --> 00:07:50,817
- Okay. What do we got?

189
00:07:50,818 --> 00:07:54,647
- Almost a dozen nude photos of
Penny passed around by students

190
00:07:54,648 --> 00:07:57,040
at the school through texts,
DMs, emails.

191
00:07:57,041 --> 00:07:58,999
Some are selfies.

192
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,957
Others are, uh,
are pictures of her

193
00:08:00,958 --> 00:08:03,133
engaged with, uh,
with an adult male.

194
00:08:03,134 --> 00:08:06,615
- David Huxley, 32,
teaches music at Lansdowne.

195
00:08:06,616 --> 00:08:09,270
He's been there six years,
has a good rep amongst faculty,

196
00:08:09,271 --> 00:08:11,098
popular with the students.
- I bet.

197
00:08:11,099 --> 00:08:13,056
- Not much else on him.
No priors.

198
00:08:13,057 --> 00:08:15,668
Lives off Steinway in Astoria.
- Okay.

199
00:08:15,669 --> 00:08:19,019
- I found one thing
that smells a bit hinky.

200
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:20,977
Local profile from
his first teaching gig.

201
00:08:20,978 --> 00:08:22,544
School up in Westchester.

202
00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:24,154
Huxley was doing great.

203
00:08:24,155 --> 00:08:26,156
Pulled tenure within
a couple of years.

204
00:08:26,157 --> 00:08:28,115
- So a rising star.
- Right.

205
00:08:28,116 --> 00:08:30,509
Then seven months later,
school releases

206
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:32,946
a detail-free announcement
that he's resigned.

207
00:08:32,947 --> 00:08:35,035
- Some teachers wait a decade
to make tenure.

208
00:08:35,036 --> 00:08:36,079
Why walk away?

209
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,080
- Who cares?
We got the photos.

210
00:08:37,081 --> 00:08:39,343
Let's arrest the perv.

211
00:08:39,344 --> 00:08:42,521
- Uh, well, look, I-I really
do appreciate your eagerness

212
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:45,132
to pull him off the street,
but-but first we need

213
00:08:45,133 --> 00:08:48,570
to build a case against him
that will actually stick,

214
00:08:48,571 --> 00:08:51,747
so I will talk
to Penny's parents.

215
00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:54,054
You two follow up
on this Westchester case

216
00:08:54,055 --> 00:08:55,795
and if it is
what it seems to be,

217
00:08:55,796 --> 00:08:59,669
then-then you pick him up.

218
00:08:59,670 --> 00:09:04,281
- The docs are hopeful she'll
wake up in the next day or two,

219
00:09:04,282 --> 00:09:07,197
but, um, they can't be sure.

220
00:09:07,198 --> 00:09:08,329
You mentioned photos.

221
00:09:08,330 --> 00:09:09,939
- I did.

222
00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:13,595
They're gonna be
pretty upsetting to see.

223
00:09:13,596 --> 00:09:16,424
Some of these are
already confirmed to be Penny,

224
00:09:16,425 --> 00:09:18,382
but some of them,
we can't see faces,

225
00:09:18,383 --> 00:09:19,819
so if you just take a look

226
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:23,562
and tell me if there's anything
that you recognize.

227
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,302
[tense music]

228
00:09:25,303 --> 00:09:27,130
- [gasps]

229
00:09:27,131 --> 00:09:29,393
That's her. Penny.

230
00:09:29,394 --> 00:09:33,702
- You're sure?
- The scrunchie on her wrist.

231
00:09:33,703 --> 00:09:35,704
- Wait, that was him,
the teacher?

232
00:09:35,705 --> 00:09:38,751
- Okay, so tell me what
you know about Mr. Huxley.

233
00:09:38,752 --> 00:09:41,667
- He's a music teacher
at the school.

234
00:09:41,668 --> 00:09:43,016
- Mm-hmm.

235
00:09:43,017 --> 00:09:45,061
- Penny was-
freshman year is a big jump,

236
00:09:45,062 --> 00:09:47,934
so we thought
learn an instrument,

237
00:09:47,935 --> 00:09:50,327
make some friends.
We didn't know.

238
00:09:50,328 --> 00:09:52,852
He has this after-school
rock band club.

239
00:09:52,853 --> 00:09:54,767
We signed her up for it.
- Hey, come on.

240
00:09:54,768 --> 00:09:56,812
- Mrs. Wilson.

241
00:09:56,813 --> 00:09:59,859
You did nothing to cause this,
all right?

242
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:05,386
Predators manipulate oftentimes
no matter what we do.

243
00:10:05,387 --> 00:10:09,782
So was Penny ever
alone with him?

244
00:10:09,783 --> 00:10:11,218
- She wanted to learn guitar.

245
00:10:11,219 --> 00:10:12,959
- Yeah, she took
private lessons with him.

246
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,525
Is he gonna be arrested?

247
00:10:14,526 --> 00:10:16,702
- That's the plan.
- Good.

248
00:10:16,703 --> 00:10:18,878
Because if
I get my hands on him,

249
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:21,011
I'm gonna kill the guy.

250
00:10:21,664 --> 00:10:24,319
Come here.

251
00:10:27,191 --> 00:10:30,498
- Mr. Huxley, will you
step out with us for a moment?

252
00:10:30,499 --> 00:10:31,891
- Any chance this could wait
till after class?

253
00:10:31,892 --> 00:10:34,023
We're, uh-[chuckles]
We're in mid-lesson here.

254
00:10:34,024 --> 00:10:35,590
- Principal already
sent Ms. Masters down

255
00:10:35,591 --> 00:10:36,678
to cover your class.

256
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:44,034
? ?

257
00:10:45,557 --> 00:10:48,430
- What's all this about?

258
00:10:48,791 --> 00:10:52,476
- You know what this is about, scumbag.

259
00:10:52,477 --> 00:10:54,653
The rape of a child.
- Wait. What?

260
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:56,263
- Let's go.
- Wait a minute. Hold on!

261
00:10:56,264 --> 00:10:57,307
This is a mistake!

262
00:10:57,308 --> 00:10:58,658
- Let's go.

263
00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:08,623
- Sit down.

264
00:11:08,624 --> 00:11:10,843
Do you know why we're here,
Mr. Huxley?

265
00:11:10,844 --> 00:11:14,150
- I have no earthly idea.
I swear.

266
00:11:14,151 --> 00:11:15,891
He said something
about raping a child.

267
00:11:15,892 --> 00:11:17,414
That's insane.
- Yeah.

268
00:11:17,415 --> 00:11:20,026
My colleague's new.
He gets a little riled up.

269
00:11:20,027 --> 00:11:21,680
- Yeah, I do.

270
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:23,246
- Is this about Westchester?

271
00:11:23,247 --> 00:11:26,380
- Inappropriate conduct with
a female student, they said.

272
00:11:26,381 --> 00:11:28,469
- I-I-I knew I was never
gonna be able to escape this.

273
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:30,601
Look, it was all unfounded.

274
00:11:30,602 --> 00:11:32,255
Hey, I was cleared.

275
00:11:32,256 --> 00:11:33,648
Is she saying I raped her?

276
00:11:33,649 --> 00:11:35,215
- I get it. I'd be upset too.

277
00:11:35,216 --> 00:11:37,260
But there's procedure
we gotta follow

278
00:11:37,261 --> 00:11:38,740
with your side on the record.

279
00:11:38,741 --> 00:11:40,786
- My story hasn't changed.
Okay?

280
00:11:40,787 --> 00:11:42,831
She mistook my kindness
for something else.

281
00:11:42,832 --> 00:11:44,354
She got upset when
I rejected her

282
00:11:44,355 --> 00:11:45,878
and she started
making these false accusations.

283
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:47,183
But I never touched her.

284
00:11:47,184 --> 00:11:50,970
I never touched anyone,
let alone raped.

285
00:11:50,971 --> 00:11:52,885
- Must be frustrating.

286
00:11:52,886 --> 00:11:55,322
- I just don't understand
how they can keep doing this.

287
00:11:55,323 --> 00:11:57,716
Huh? The school investigated.
They found nothing.

288
00:11:57,717 --> 00:11:59,500
I almost lost my career.

289
00:11:59,501 --> 00:12:01,502
I had to give up tenure
to escape these rumors.

290
00:12:01,503 --> 00:12:03,896
And I changed the way I teach.

291
00:12:03,897 --> 00:12:05,941
Make sure that
nothing can be misinterpreted.

292
00:12:05,942 --> 00:12:07,726
- Right.

293
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:10,990
Stuff like this, for instance.

294
00:12:10,991 --> 00:12:13,993
[tense music]

295
00:12:13,994 --> 00:12:15,908
- Oh, my God.
What-

296
00:12:15,909 --> 00:12:16,952
[tablet slams on table]
What the hell?

297
00:12:16,953 --> 00:12:20,086
[gasps] W-what are those?

298
00:12:20,087 --> 00:12:23,393
I don't understand
where they came from.

299
00:12:23,394 --> 00:12:26,353
Look, these aren't real, okay?

300
00:12:26,354 --> 00:12:27,876
I don't understand where
they came from,

301
00:12:27,877 --> 00:12:29,530
who made them,
or how you got them,

302
00:12:29,531 --> 00:12:30,661
but they're 100% fake.

303
00:12:30,662 --> 00:12:31,706
- Oh, they're fake?

304
00:12:31,707 --> 00:12:33,055
What about Penny
being pregnant?

305
00:12:33,056 --> 00:12:34,143
Is that fake too?

306
00:12:34,144 --> 00:12:35,144
- She's what?

307
00:12:35,145 --> 00:12:36,276
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

308
00:12:36,277 --> 00:12:37,320
- What about her almost dying, huh?

309
00:12:37,321 --> 00:12:38,757
Is that fake too?

310
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:40,236
- Look, I don't know what
you're talking about.

311
00:12:40,237 --> 00:12:41,455
- Oh, it's just another kid
making false accusations?

312
00:12:41,456 --> 00:12:42,891
Is that right?
- No, I swear.

313
00:12:42,892 --> 00:12:44,763
Take my DNA, okay?
Give me a polygraph.

314
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:45,633
Whatever you want.

315
00:12:45,634 --> 00:12:53,860
? ?

316
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,080
- The hell was that in there?

317
00:12:58,081 --> 00:12:58,951
- Oh, I got tired
of you slow-playing him.

318
00:12:58,952 --> 00:13:00,039
- Hey!

319
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,301
Nine out of ten times,

320
00:13:01,302 --> 00:13:02,432
you're not gonna get
a confession, okay?

321
00:13:02,433 --> 00:13:04,565
You're gonna lock them
into a story,

322
00:13:04,566 --> 00:13:07,481
and our job is shutting
the hell up and listening.

323
00:13:07,482 --> 00:13:10,049
- Enough. Guys.

324
00:13:10,050 --> 00:13:11,485
Bruno.

325
00:13:11,486 --> 00:13:14,576
Bruno, what do you think?

326
00:13:14,577 --> 00:13:17,186
- It doesn't feel right.
Something's missing.

327
00:13:17,187 --> 00:13:18,797
- Yeah. A confession.

328
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,233
- I swear to God, Griff.

329
00:13:20,234 --> 00:13:21,843
- Were you paying attention
to Huxley's reaction

330
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:23,018
to those photos?

331
00:13:23,019 --> 00:13:24,324
- So what?
The creep's a good actor.

332
00:13:24,325 --> 00:13:25,455
- No.

333
00:13:25,456 --> 00:13:27,196
He was genuinely horrified
by them.

334
00:13:27,197 --> 00:13:28,328
- I agree.

335
00:13:28,329 --> 00:13:29,633
So let's-
let's take a breather.

336
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:31,287
- Oh, you have gotta be
kidding me, boss.

337
00:13:31,288 --> 00:13:33,507
- Okay, we have him
for 24 hours.

338
00:13:33,508 --> 00:13:36,162
He's not going anywhere, okay?

339
00:13:36,163 --> 00:13:37,467
So in the meantime,

340
00:13:37,468 --> 00:13:39,818
have TARU take a closer look
at those photos.

341
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:42,821
- What about me?
- What about you?

342
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:43,996
You need to take a walk.

343
00:13:43,997 --> 00:13:45,171
Cool your jets.

344
00:13:45,172 --> 00:13:45,954
- Captain, come on.

345
00:13:45,955 --> 00:13:53,484
? ?

346
00:13:58,359 --> 00:13:59,838
- Two captains in my office.

347
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:01,230
Am I in trouble or something?
[chuckles]

348
00:14:01,231 --> 00:14:03,537
- Uh, no.
We're just down a man.

349
00:14:03,538 --> 00:14:06,366
But we should be getting
another detective in soon.

350
00:14:06,367 --> 00:14:07,758
- Cool.

351
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:09,369
You know,
some people might get nervous,

352
00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:11,806
two captains showing up,
checking their work,

353
00:14:11,807 --> 00:14:14,287
but not me.

354
00:14:14,288 --> 00:14:16,898
Those photos all read real
on first glance.

355
00:14:16,899 --> 00:14:18,073
Heck, even on second.

356
00:14:18,074 --> 00:14:21,860
But once I went through
pixel by pixel,

357
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:24,645
I noticed
tiny repetitive patterns.

358
00:14:24,646 --> 00:14:26,560
- So they're fakes?
- AI-generated.

359
00:14:26,561 --> 00:14:28,475
Damn good ones too.

360
00:14:28,476 --> 00:14:32,131
I traced the little pervs'
messages step by step,

361
00:14:32,132 --> 00:14:34,307
recreated the path
they spread through.

362
00:14:34,308 --> 00:14:36,004
- Like tracking an illness.

363
00:14:36,005 --> 00:14:37,614
- Bingo.

364
00:14:37,615 --> 00:14:43,055
And I found patient zero,
digital fingerprints and all.

365
00:14:43,056 --> 00:14:47,494
The images were created on
a generative AI site, NU/DAI.

366
00:14:47,495 --> 00:14:49,496
Care to gander where the
IP address tracked back to?

367
00:14:49,497 --> 00:14:50,889
- Lansdowne Academy?

368
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,762
- A-plus, Captain.

369
00:14:54,981 --> 00:14:56,982
- Huxley's DNA is out
for testing,

370
00:14:56,983 --> 00:15:00,637
but with the photo confirmed as
fake and his eagerness to test,

371
00:15:00,638 --> 00:15:02,683
I'd say he's no longer
a primary suspect.

372
00:15:02,684 --> 00:15:04,903
- Well, someone at the school
made those images,

373
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:07,470
either to victimize Penny
or set up Huxley or both.

374
00:15:07,471 --> 00:15:10,038
- Well, even if the child porn
images are AI-generated,

375
00:15:10,039 --> 00:15:11,170
they're still illegal.

376
00:15:11,171 --> 00:15:13,389
- But the question is
who and why.

377
00:15:13,390 --> 00:15:16,001
Now, we know the website that
the perp used-

378
00:15:16,002 --> 00:15:18,568
NU/DAI, which is based
here in Manhattan.

379
00:15:18,569 --> 00:15:19,918
And that's where you come in.

380
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:22,094
So I want
to subpoena those logs

381
00:15:22,095 --> 00:15:24,226
so we can use them to find out
who created these images.

382
00:15:24,227 --> 00:15:25,793
- Now, legally, you're not
gonna get a court order

383
00:15:25,794 --> 00:15:27,229
to go on a fishing expedition.

384
00:15:27,230 --> 00:15:29,449
I mean, no judge is gonna go
for such a broad search.

385
00:15:29,450 --> 00:15:31,016
- Even if
they're making child porn?

386
00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:32,669
- The privacy of
the overall user base

387
00:15:32,670 --> 00:15:34,106
trumps the deed
of one bad actor.

388
00:15:34,107 --> 00:15:38,153
Now, you could try
asking the site nicely.

389
00:15:38,154 --> 00:15:39,938
I mean, most businesses
don't wanna be associated

390
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:40,939
with child pornography.

391
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:42,766
- Okay, good.

392
00:15:42,767 --> 00:15:46,379
Bruno, Griff, so I want you
to pay the AI company a visit.

393
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:51,515
Try to be nice, okay?

394
00:15:51,516 --> 00:15:56,171
- Appreciate you taking time
to speak to us, Mr. Boone.

395
00:15:56,172 --> 00:15:57,607
- Of course, of course.

396
00:15:57,608 --> 00:15:59,218
You fellas sure you don't
want something to drink?

397
00:15:59,219 --> 00:16:00,610
Hey, guys, Wolfie.

398
00:16:00,611 --> 00:16:02,438
Slow down around the corners, bud.

399
00:16:02,439 --> 00:16:04,266
Sorry. Kiddo chaos tonight.

400
00:16:04,267 --> 00:16:07,009
Jane, can you-
- Yeah. Come on.

401
00:16:07,444 --> 00:16:09,402
- Working from home
was a change

402
00:16:09,403 --> 00:16:11,534
after 14 years at Google.

403
00:16:11,535 --> 00:16:15,930
No more on-site spas,
free espressos, nap pods.

404
00:16:15,931 --> 00:16:18,846
Looking back,
getting laid off was, uh,

405
00:16:18,847 --> 00:16:20,761
best thing that
could have happened for me.

406
00:16:20,762 --> 00:16:23,329
Forced me to start
my own company.

407
00:16:23,330 --> 00:16:25,070
- "Nude AI?"

408
00:16:25,071 --> 00:16:27,724
- Uh, actually it's pronounced
"new day," but yeah, that's us.

409
00:16:27,725 --> 00:16:29,900
Or me, I guess.
[chuckles]

410
00:16:29,901 --> 00:16:32,164
- From this tiny office
to 3 million users.

411
00:16:32,165 --> 00:16:33,904
Who'd've thunk it, huh?

412
00:16:33,905 --> 00:16:36,081
- A regular
American success story.

413
00:16:36,082 --> 00:16:37,647
- Exactly.

414
00:16:37,648 --> 00:16:39,040
We're on the cutting edge.

415
00:16:39,041 --> 00:16:41,521
We're helping shape
society's creative future.

416
00:16:41,522 --> 00:16:45,394
- Oh, uh, like, uh,
like child pornography.

417
00:16:45,395 --> 00:16:47,657
[tense music]

418
00:16:47,658 --> 00:16:50,051
- That's not what I meant.

419
00:16:50,052 --> 00:16:54,229
- Why include adult materials
at all?

420
00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:55,665
- I provide tools.

421
00:16:55,666 --> 00:16:58,538
I don't control
how they're used.

422
00:16:58,539 --> 00:17:01,062
We can't let a few bad apples
stand in the way of progress.

423
00:17:01,063 --> 00:17:05,893
- How about you help us
catch one of those bad apples?

424
00:17:05,894 --> 00:17:06,937
- What do you mean?

425
00:17:06,938 --> 00:17:08,939
- Let us look
at your user logs.

426
00:17:08,940 --> 00:17:11,594
And we can find the sicko
who's been making nude images

427
00:17:11,595 --> 00:17:13,596
of a minor from
a school computer.

428
00:17:13,597 --> 00:17:16,034
- Sorry, we purge identifying
records from our system

429
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:17,470
once an image is generated.

430
00:17:17,471 --> 00:17:19,080
AI uses up a lot of data,

431
00:17:19,081 --> 00:17:21,039
so we have to optimize
our storage space.

432
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,998
- Okay, well, you sure it ain't
so your users feel safe

433
00:17:23,999 --> 00:17:25,434
doing whatever the hell
they want?

434
00:17:25,435 --> 00:17:29,830
? ?

435
00:17:29,831 --> 00:17:31,266
- I resent that suggestion.

436
00:17:31,267 --> 00:17:33,007
- [scoffs] Yeah.

437
00:17:33,008 --> 00:17:35,836
Who'd've thunk it?

438
00:17:35,837 --> 00:17:38,186
- Look, we're just
trying to help a kid

439
00:17:38,187 --> 00:17:40,275
that was hurt by your tools.

440
00:17:40,276 --> 00:17:43,539
So you decide
that you wanna help, too,

441
00:17:43,540 --> 00:17:46,412
you give us a call.

442
00:17:46,413 --> 00:17:48,589
- [sniffles]

443
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,857
- Hon, Captain Benson is here.

444
00:17:58,381 --> 00:18:01,122
Penny, you said you'd talk.

445
00:18:01,123 --> 00:18:04,386
- You know, Bridget,
there's a, uh, caf� on four.

446
00:18:04,387 --> 00:18:06,432
They have soft serve.

447
00:18:06,433 --> 00:18:10,045
Maybe you could get us some?

448
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:15,529
- Okay.

449
00:18:17,139 --> 00:18:21,011
- I gotta tell you,
I, uh, hate hospitals.

450
00:18:21,012 --> 00:18:22,187
I mean,
I know that's not a hot take.

451
00:18:22,188 --> 00:18:24,102
I think
everyone hates hospitals,

452
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,539
but I think I may hate them...

453
00:18:26,540 --> 00:18:29,411
[chuckles]
A little more.

454
00:18:29,412 --> 00:18:33,937
So, uh, I've spent
my fair share of time in them.

455
00:18:33,938 --> 00:18:37,419
I mean, guess that comes
with the job, but, uh-

456
00:18:37,420 --> 00:18:41,119
so I have been shot,

457
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:45,993
I have been stabbed,
and I have been poisoned twice.

458
00:18:45,994 --> 00:18:49,128
So that wasn't fun.

459
00:18:50,868 --> 00:18:52,260
Penny, have your parents-

460
00:18:52,261 --> 00:18:54,785
have they told you
everything that's going on?

461
00:18:56,047 --> 00:18:58,353
- [sighs]

462
00:18:58,354 --> 00:19:00,964
- Penny, I can promise you

463
00:19:00,965 --> 00:19:05,404
that the only thing
that your parents care about

464
00:19:05,405 --> 00:19:11,062
is that you're okay now
and that you're safe.

465
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:15,544
Hi.

466
00:19:15,545 --> 00:19:18,504
- Hi.

467
00:19:18,505 --> 00:19:21,202
- Would it be okay if I asked
you a couple questions?

468
00:19:21,203 --> 00:19:23,639
[apprehensive music]

469
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,338
- I guess.

470
00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:33,172
- Did you know that
you were pregnant?

471
00:19:33,824 --> 00:19:37,306
Can you tell me
the father's name?

472
00:19:37,741 --> 00:19:41,657
- If I say his name,
you'll arrest him.

473
00:19:41,658 --> 00:19:44,834
- I mean,
if he's older than you, right?

474
00:19:44,835 --> 00:19:45,922
Like a teacher?

475
00:19:45,923 --> 00:19:47,533
- Oh, my God.

476
00:19:47,534 --> 00:19:49,056
No.

477
00:19:49,057 --> 00:19:51,101
Just no.

478
00:19:51,102 --> 00:19:54,193
- No.
So it was somebody your age?

479
00:19:55,803 --> 00:19:57,543
- A 10th grader.

480
00:19:57,544 --> 00:19:59,501
- Okay.

481
00:19:59,502 --> 00:20:03,549
- I thought he was so cool.

482
00:20:03,550 --> 00:20:05,333
I was stupid.

483
00:20:05,334 --> 00:20:07,989
- Meaning you had sex?

484
00:20:09,251 --> 00:20:11,992
- He didn't make me
or anything.

485
00:20:11,993 --> 00:20:17,867
I thought I wanted to,
but I just wish we hadn't.

486
00:20:17,868 --> 00:20:20,479
So I broke up with him.

487
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,439
- Yeah.
And how did he take that?

488
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,398
- Not great.

489
00:20:26,399 --> 00:20:27,573
Pretty mad.

490
00:20:27,574 --> 00:20:31,230
- Mad? Mad enough to hurt you?

491
00:20:32,492 --> 00:20:35,624
Penny,
can you tell me his name?

492
00:20:35,625 --> 00:20:36,973
- Bryce Christopher Cole,

493
00:20:36,974 --> 00:20:39,498
you answer
the detective's questions.

494
00:20:39,499 --> 00:20:43,067
- [huffs] Fine. Whatever.

495
00:20:44,721 --> 00:20:47,114
Yeah. Me and Penny had sex.

496
00:20:47,115 --> 00:20:48,463
Big deal.

497
00:20:48,464 --> 00:20:50,465
- Well, the big deal is
that Penny got pregnant

498
00:20:50,466 --> 00:20:53,076
and she almost died
from complications.

499
00:20:53,077 --> 00:20:54,991
- So?

500
00:20:54,992 --> 00:20:56,863
- The hell is wrong with you?
- What?

501
00:20:56,864 --> 00:20:57,994
- A girl almost dies
and you just say, "So?"

502
00:20:57,995 --> 00:20:59,082
- Ma, you're not helping!

503
00:20:59,083 --> 00:21:00,388
- You're worse
than your father.

504
00:21:00,389 --> 00:21:02,347
- Mrs. Cole, please.
- I can't with this kid.

505
00:21:02,348 --> 00:21:04,523
I'm done.

506
00:21:04,524 --> 00:21:06,264
He's all yours.

507
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:09,049
- Do we have your permission
to search Bryce's phone?

508
00:21:09,050 --> 00:21:10,268
- You-you can't do that!

509
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:11,747
That's, like,
illegal or something!

510
00:21:11,748 --> 00:21:13,445
- The phone I pay for?

511
00:21:13,446 --> 00:21:17,623
Go ahead. Passcode is 6969.

512
00:21:17,624 --> 00:21:18,972
- Okay, maybe I-

513
00:21:18,973 --> 00:21:22,584
I saw the photos,
but I-I didn't make them.

514
00:21:22,585 --> 00:21:24,804
I just thought they were funny.

515
00:21:24,805 --> 00:21:27,763
- What-what-
what about this is funny?

516
00:21:27,764 --> 00:21:29,461
You know, maybe, uh, maybe

517
00:21:29,462 --> 00:21:32,290
we should haul your scrawny ass
to prison for statutory rape.

518
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:33,334
Would that be funny?

519
00:21:33,335 --> 00:21:34,770
- What?
- Yeah, Bryce!

520
00:21:34,771 --> 00:21:37,164
Real prison
with real criminals.

521
00:21:37,165 --> 00:21:39,645
You wanna guess how
your little attitude will fly

522
00:21:39,646 --> 00:21:41,124
on the inside?

523
00:21:41,125 --> 00:21:43,475
- Mom! Y-

524
00:21:43,476 --> 00:21:44,737
it was Haley.

525
00:21:44,738 --> 00:21:45,912
- Who's Haley?

526
00:21:45,913 --> 00:21:47,479
- She's my girlfriend now.

527
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,090
She's, like,
crazy jealous of Penny.

528
00:21:50,091 --> 00:21:53,876
I-I didn't tell her
to do any of it, I swear.

529
00:21:53,877 --> 00:21:55,051
It was just a joke.

530
00:21:55,052 --> 00:21:58,359
- Why put Mr. Huxley
in the photos?

531
00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:01,797
- He gave her a C on her essay,
brought her GPA down.

532
00:22:01,798 --> 00:22:03,495
She wants to go to Yale.

533
00:22:03,496 --> 00:22:05,453
[tense music]

534
00:22:05,454 --> 00:22:08,065
[knock at door]

535
00:22:08,457 --> 00:22:11,067
- Haley, gather your things.

536
00:22:11,068 --> 00:22:18,598
? ?

537
00:22:25,213 --> 00:22:26,996
- Haley.

538
00:22:26,997 --> 00:22:31,132
So we hear that you're
very good at making pictures.

539
00:22:34,048 --> 00:22:36,266
- No! I want my dad!
No, no!

540
00:22:36,267 --> 00:22:37,529
I-I said I was sorry!

541
00:22:37,530 --> 00:22:38,660
- I know you did.
- I'm sorry!

542
00:22:38,661 --> 00:22:39,835
I said I was sorry!

543
00:22:39,836 --> 00:22:40,880
- I need you to get in the car.
- No!

544
00:22:40,881 --> 00:22:42,229
- W-watch your head.

545
00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:44,013
Okay.

546
00:22:44,014 --> 00:22:46,973
- It was just a joke!
It was just a joke! Please!

547
00:22:46,974 --> 00:22:49,410
- Bruno is still
talking with the dad.

548
00:22:49,411 --> 00:22:52,108
Principal said there were
two other incidents this week,

549
00:22:52,109 --> 00:22:55,547
kids making AI images
of their classmates.

550
00:22:55,548 --> 00:22:57,113
It's crazy.

551
00:22:57,114 --> 00:23:00,160
How are we supposed
to police something like this?

552
00:23:00,161 --> 00:23:03,816
Keep tossing teens in jail
every time it happens?

553
00:23:03,817 --> 00:23:06,341
- That's a good question,
Griff.

554
00:23:12,434 --> 00:23:14,783
- Look, we've all tracked
the rise in cases

555
00:23:14,784 --> 00:23:16,742
like Penny Wilson's.

556
00:23:16,743 --> 00:23:18,918
Revenge porn, deepfakes,

557
00:23:18,919 --> 00:23:21,399
non-consensual
intimate imagery.

558
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,575
And with the spread of AI,
this is like-

559
00:23:23,576 --> 00:23:25,490
this is like
gasoline on a fire.

560
00:23:25,491 --> 00:23:27,970
- COMPSTAT numbers show
a six-month spike in reports

561
00:23:27,971 --> 00:23:29,276
related to these images.

562
00:23:29,277 --> 00:23:31,409
Extortion, harassment, stalking.

563
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:33,454
- Last week, a Bronx
15-year-old got shot for

564
00:23:33,455 --> 00:23:35,587
making AI pics of a neighbor.
- Mm.

565
00:23:35,588 --> 00:23:38,372
- The week before, a senior at
Brooklyn Tech took her own life

566
00:23:38,373 --> 00:23:40,418
when fake nudes were
posted online.

567
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:41,767
- Yeah, we've seen it.

568
00:23:41,768 --> 00:23:43,246
ADA Price just convicted
a teen girl for murder.

569
00:23:43,247 --> 00:23:45,205
Stabbed some boy to death
over pictures like this.

570
00:23:45,206 --> 00:23:47,468
- Locking up perpetrators
after the fact

571
00:23:47,469 --> 00:23:49,601
doesn't help future victims.

572
00:23:49,602 --> 00:23:54,344
I mean, kids like Penny Wilson,
this teacher, Huxley.

573
00:23:54,345 --> 00:23:55,520
We need to do more.

574
00:23:55,521 --> 00:23:56,825
- Take it you got
something in mind?

575
00:23:56,826 --> 00:23:58,000
- I do.

576
00:23:58,001 --> 00:24:00,916
Going after the AI companies.

577
00:24:00,917 --> 00:24:01,917
Criminally.

578
00:24:01,918 --> 00:24:03,049
- Oh.

579
00:24:03,050 --> 00:24:04,137
- Getting criminal charges
to stick

580
00:24:04,138 --> 00:24:06,052
to these companies
is a tall order.

581
00:24:06,053 --> 00:24:07,793
- Well, she knows that,
but we're about to find out

582
00:24:07,794 --> 00:24:09,229
why she still thinks
that's a good idea.

583
00:24:09,230 --> 00:24:10,273
- Bruno.

584
00:24:10,274 --> 00:24:11,666
- We start with NU/DAI,

585
00:24:11,667 --> 00:24:14,713
same company used to make
images of Penny Wilson.

586
00:24:14,714 --> 00:24:18,020
owned and operated by
Lucas Boone, former tech exec.

587
00:24:18,021 --> 00:24:20,283
- The guy plays
an aw-shucks family man,

588
00:24:20,284 --> 00:24:22,895
but he has no qualms about
making money off this garbage.

589
00:24:22,896 --> 00:24:25,854
- His company is one of
the fastest-rising AI engines.

590
00:24:25,855 --> 00:24:29,379
Over 1.2 million downloads
in the past four months.

591
00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:32,426
- At first glance, it's your
basic AI image generator.

592
00:24:32,427 --> 00:24:34,297
But you pay full access,
though,

593
00:24:34,298 --> 00:24:37,344
and then you get to see
NU/DAI's real business,

594
00:24:37,345 --> 00:24:41,391
letting you create pornographic
images of anyone anywhere.

595
00:24:41,392 --> 00:24:43,481
- So it used to be if you
wanted to make fake nudes,

596
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:45,918
you needed fancy software,
skill, okay?

597
00:24:45,919 --> 00:24:48,747
Now you can do it
on your phone.

598
00:24:48,748 --> 00:24:53,708
Imagine this is a photo
of your sister or your kid.

599
00:24:53,709 --> 00:24:55,710
[tense music]

600
00:24:55,711 --> 00:25:00,889
Make her cheeks flushed.

601
00:25:00,890 --> 00:25:04,502
Stick her tongue out.

602
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:06,504
Take her dress off.

603
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:11,726
? ?

604
00:25:11,727 --> 00:25:13,772
- Go ahead.
Show it to 'em.

605
00:25:13,773 --> 00:25:16,514
- [sighs] Yeah.

606
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:18,124
Splatter glue on her face.

607
00:25:18,125 --> 00:25:20,518
- Oh, my God.

608
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:26,175
- This is not innovation.
This is sexual abuse.

609
00:25:26,176 --> 00:25:28,264
Look, I know it's a big swing.

610
00:25:28,265 --> 00:25:30,658
- But it's still a good idea.

611
00:25:30,659 --> 00:25:32,355
We'll take it to Baxter.

612
00:25:32,356 --> 00:25:34,532
- Let's hope he agrees.

613
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:38,187
- Thank you.

614
00:25:38,188 --> 00:25:39,493
- The district
attorney's office

615
00:25:39,494 --> 00:25:41,060
doesn't make new case law,
Sonny.

616
00:25:41,061 --> 00:25:42,365
That's a job for a legislature.

617
00:25:42,366 --> 00:25:43,671
- Albany takes
a month and a half

618
00:25:43,672 --> 00:25:45,064
to agree on their lunch order.

619
00:25:45,065 --> 00:25:46,674
- Go after the company civilly.

620
00:25:46,675 --> 00:25:48,633
San Francisco went after ten
of these AI outfits

621
00:25:48,634 --> 00:25:49,677
earlier this year.

622
00:25:49,678 --> 00:25:50,678
- And they still
haven't settled.

623
00:25:50,679 --> 00:25:51,723
The fines are not enough, sir.

624
00:25:51,724 --> 00:25:53,246
- There's precedent.
It works.

625
00:25:53,247 --> 00:25:54,508
- Companies that
make quick money,

626
00:25:54,509 --> 00:25:56,162
they make it hand over fist.

627
00:25:56,163 --> 00:25:57,685
Fines are a line item
in their budget.

628
00:25:57,686 --> 00:25:59,426
It's the price of
doing business.

629
00:25:59,427 --> 00:26:01,167
- Laws are always struggling to
catch up with new technology.

630
00:26:01,168 --> 00:26:03,125
But guys like Boone,
they're counting on it.

631
00:26:03,126 --> 00:26:05,693
- Right, they act with
impunity, they destroy lives,

632
00:26:05,694 --> 00:26:08,000
and then they face
no consequences.

633
00:26:08,001 --> 00:26:09,610
So-[sighs]

634
00:26:09,611 --> 00:26:11,307
If we could just indict them,

635
00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:12,831
then all these other
shady operations,

636
00:26:12,832 --> 00:26:14,397
they're gonna stop
and they're gonna step back.

637
00:26:14,398 --> 00:26:16,356
- Waiting to see how
this plays out.

638
00:26:16,357 --> 00:26:17,966
- Provided
you can convince a jury.

639
00:26:17,967 --> 00:26:19,925
- The public knows what's
going on out there.

640
00:26:19,926 --> 00:26:21,317
They see it in the news.

641
00:26:21,318 --> 00:26:22,754
They see it in their
Facebook feeds.

642
00:26:22,755 --> 00:26:24,451
And they're afraid.

643
00:26:24,452 --> 00:26:26,192
And if we can't protect them by
getting new laws on the books,

644
00:26:26,193 --> 00:26:27,410
then we gotta get creative

645
00:26:27,411 --> 00:26:30,763
enforcing the ones
that already exist.

646
00:26:31,677 --> 00:26:33,852
- Okay.

647
00:26:33,853 --> 00:26:35,768
You got your case.

648
00:26:35,981 --> 00:26:37,986
- Let's go.

[tense music]

650
00:26:41,425 --> 00:26:43,122
- Hello?
- Step aside, Ms. Boone.

651
00:26:43,123 --> 00:26:44,645
We have a warrant
for your husband's arrest.

652
00:26:44,646 --> 00:26:45,733
- What? What's going on?

653
00:26:45,734 --> 00:26:46,908
- Lucas Boone.

654
00:26:46,909 --> 00:26:48,214
- Hey,
you can't just barge in here.

655
00:26:48,215 --> 00:26:49,737
- Dad? Mom?

656
00:26:49,738 --> 00:26:51,609
- Hey, it's okay, bud.
What-what-what are you doing?

657
00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:53,611
- So you are under arrest
for the creation

658
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:56,744
and dissemination
of child sexual material.

659
00:26:56,745 --> 00:26:59,225
- Hey, where are they-
where are they going?

660
00:26:59,226 --> 00:27:00,182
They can't go up there.

661
00:27:00,183 --> 00:27:01,488
- Come on.

662
00:27:01,489 --> 00:27:03,621
- I'm not a criminal.
This is ridiculous.

663
00:27:03,622 --> 00:27:07,234
- No, bud, this is progress.

664
00:27:10,150 --> 00:27:11,890
- Judge, this is absurd.

665
00:27:11,891 --> 00:27:15,981
Section 230 of the CDA
clearly shields Mr. Boone

666
00:27:15,982 --> 00:27:17,852
and his company from liability.

667
00:27:17,853 --> 00:27:20,681
- AI companies like NU/DAI have
yet to be given 230 protections

668
00:27:20,682 --> 00:27:22,640
under current case law,
Your Honor.

669
00:27:22,641 --> 00:27:25,381
- My client's company
provides a neutral service,

670
00:27:25,382 --> 00:27:29,342
a tool that generates content
of the user's choice.

671
00:27:29,343 --> 00:27:32,171
He's being persecuted by an
overzealous district attorney.

672
00:27:32,172 --> 00:27:33,912
- My opinion of
Mr. Boone has no bearing.

673
00:27:33,913 --> 00:27:36,044
This is entirely about facts.
- Oh, please.

674
00:27:36,045 --> 00:27:37,959
- And in this case,
Your Honor, the defendant was

675
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,657
not only aware of,
but also encouraged

676
00:27:39,658 --> 00:27:41,876
the use of his platform in the
creation of child pornography.

677
00:27:41,877 --> 00:27:43,835
- That is a reach
and you know it, Sonny.

678
00:27:43,836 --> 00:27:46,054
- Your Honor,
if you give a child a gun

679
00:27:46,055 --> 00:27:48,535
and they shoot someone,
you're responsible.

680
00:27:48,536 --> 00:27:52,147
- I admit I'm a bit skeptical
of the People's argument here.

681
00:27:52,148 --> 00:27:53,540
- Thank you, Your Honor.

682
00:27:53,541 --> 00:27:55,324
- But I also have a nephew
who will not shut up

683
00:27:55,325 --> 00:27:59,677
about the unbridled potential
of artificial intelligence.

684
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:02,244
I am curious
how this would play out.

685
00:28:02,245 --> 00:28:04,944
The defense's motion is denied.

686
00:28:12,647 --> 00:28:14,648
- I couldn't believe it,

687
00:28:14,649 --> 00:28:19,522
all those people seeing me
like that, people in my school.

688
00:28:19,523 --> 00:28:22,395
I mean...

689
00:28:22,396 --> 00:28:27,400
it wasn't my body,
but they don't know that.

690
00:28:27,401 --> 00:28:30,272
It was so embarrassing.

691
00:28:30,273 --> 00:28:32,013
- And how do you feel now?

692
00:28:32,014 --> 00:28:34,712
- I can't sleep.

693
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,888
I can't eat.

694
00:28:36,889 --> 00:28:39,412
I can't even show my face
in public.

695
00:28:39,413 --> 00:28:40,979
They have videos of me
on the internet

696
00:28:40,980 --> 00:28:42,937
calling me a pedophile.

697
00:28:42,938 --> 00:28:45,940
- What impact did this have
on your life?

698
00:28:45,941 --> 00:28:48,856
- We had to change
my phone number,

699
00:28:48,857 --> 00:28:51,772
my email,

700
00:28:51,773 --> 00:28:54,862
delete my socials.

701
00:28:54,863 --> 00:28:57,647
But people still find me.

702
00:28:57,648 --> 00:29:01,260
Call me slut, whore.

703
00:29:01,261 --> 00:29:05,003
- I lost my job.
My career is ruined.

704
00:29:05,004 --> 00:29:06,613
- Because of those pictures.

705
00:29:06,614 --> 00:29:07,962
- All because of his website.

706
00:29:07,963 --> 00:29:09,311
- Because of him.

Your Honor.

Your witness, Ms. Hamlin.

711
00:29:17,625 --> 00:29:20,758
- Thank you, Judge.

712
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,760
Did my client
create those images?

713
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:24,413
- No.

714
00:29:24,414 --> 00:29:26,894
- Did another student at your
school create those images?

715
00:29:26,895 --> 00:29:28,069
- Yes.

716
00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:30,419
- Was she a friend of yours?

717
00:29:30,420 --> 00:29:31,638
- Yes.

718
00:29:31,639 --> 00:29:34,120
- And she was arrested
for this crime?

719
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,907
- Answer the question, please.

720
00:29:39,908 --> 00:29:41,953
- Yes, but-

of how this technology works, sir.

that a majority of your users

740
00:30:31,917 --> 00:30:35,528
create images like this
or adult content?

741
00:30:35,529 --> 00:30:36,964
- This, definitely.

742
00:30:36,965 --> 00:30:39,749
Adult content is a very
small part of our user base.

743
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:42,840
- Do you have safeguards
in place for such material

744
00:30:42,841 --> 00:30:44,189
as adult content?

745
00:30:44,190 --> 00:30:45,755
- Yes.

746
00:30:45,756 --> 00:30:48,715
Our terms of service clearly
prohibits underage users

747
00:30:48,716 --> 00:30:51,457
and anything illegal
as required by law.

748
00:30:51,458 --> 00:30:56,070
Personally, I felt it important
to go an extra step.

749
00:30:56,071 --> 00:31:00,118
All adult functions
require registration

- It's cute, huh?

755
00:31:16,787 --> 00:31:20,051
But if we're really gonna
show the jury the full extent

756
00:31:20,052 --> 00:31:22,357
of how your tech works,
then why don't you have it

757
00:31:22,358 --> 00:31:24,403
take Judge Carpintero's
clothes off?

758
00:31:24,404 --> 00:31:25,883
- Mr. Carisi!

759
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:28,929
- Apologies, Your Honor.
Withdrawn.

760
00:31:28,930 --> 00:31:31,801
Do you enjoy people
using your website

761
00:31:31,802 --> 00:31:33,586
to make nude images, Mr. Boone?

762
00:31:33,587 --> 00:31:35,588
- It's not my place to feel
one way or the other.

763
00:31:35,589 --> 00:31:37,111
I provide a tool.

764
00:31:37,112 --> 00:31:38,721
I don't encourage people
how to use it.

765
00:31:38,722 --> 00:31:40,593
- Is that so?
- Yes.

766
00:31:40,594 --> 00:31:43,074
- Because
I have an advertisement here

767
00:31:43,075 --> 00:31:44,814
that suggests otherwise.

768
00:31:44,815 --> 00:31:47,643
Your Honor, please enter into
the record People's exhibit 27.

769
00:31:47,644 --> 00:31:50,342
This is an online ad
for the defendant's website.

770
00:31:50,343 --> 00:31:52,387
Mr. Boone, if you don't mind,

771
00:31:52,388 --> 00:31:54,085
could you read that
for the jury, please?

772
00:31:54,086 --> 00:31:56,522
- "Why waste money
taking her on a date

773
00:31:56,523 --> 00:31:59,829
when you can use NU/DAI
to see her naked?"

774
00:31:59,830 --> 00:32:03,616
- It feels pretty encouraging
to me.

775
00:32:03,617 --> 00:32:06,706
- Those ads are terrible and
I'm sorry they ever went up.

776
00:32:06,707 --> 00:32:10,971
I had outsourced marketing
to a company overseas.

777
00:32:10,972 --> 00:32:12,886
They were clearly
less than reputable.

778
00:32:12,887 --> 00:32:16,281
- Your excuse is that these ads
were a mistake.

779
00:32:16,282 --> 00:32:18,065
That-that's it?
- That's the truth.

780
00:32:18,066 --> 00:32:19,501
I fired 'em as soon
as I found out.

781
00:32:19,502 --> 00:32:20,720
- Okay, what about
the teenagers, though,

782
00:32:20,721 --> 00:32:22,113
who clicked on this ad

783
00:32:22,114 --> 00:32:23,549
hoping to make nude images
of their classmates?

784
00:32:23,550 --> 00:32:25,116
What about them?

785
00:32:25,117 --> 00:32:27,335
- As I mentioned, our terms
of service clearly prohibits

786
00:32:27,336 --> 00:32:29,207
underage users from-
- Come on, Mr. Boone.

787
00:32:29,208 --> 00:32:30,948
Do you really think
that a few lines

788
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:33,167
buried in a ten-page
legal document is sufficient

789
00:32:33,168 --> 00:32:34,864
to protect children
from your website?

790
00:32:34,865 --> 00:32:37,258
- My site, like any other site
with adult material,

791
00:32:37,259 --> 00:32:41,394
clearly follows safety measures
required by law.

792
00:32:42,003 --> 00:32:46,354
Look, I'm not a bad guy.

793
00:32:46,355 --> 00:32:48,791
I'm a dad.

794
00:32:48,792 --> 00:32:51,316
I know how difficult it can be.

795
00:32:51,317 --> 00:32:53,927
But...

796
00:32:53,928 --> 00:32:55,059
doesn't it fall on the parent

797
00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:56,756
to know what their kid
is doing online?

798
00:32:56,757 --> 00:32:58,149
- Oh, so you bear
no responsibility

799
00:32:58,150 --> 00:33:01,457
for the damage done
with your technology?

800
00:33:01,458 --> 00:33:06,592
- Just because someone
paints an offensive picture,

801
00:33:06,593 --> 00:33:08,637
it doesn't mean
you arrest the paintbrush.

802
00:33:08,638 --> 00:33:16,863
? ?

803
00:33:16,864 --> 00:33:18,648
- Nothing further, Your Honor.

804
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,831
- Carisi.

805
00:33:28,832 --> 00:33:30,007
- Did you go home last night?

806
00:33:30,008 --> 00:33:31,747
- Uh, kinda? Not really.

807
00:33:31,748 --> 00:33:33,314
I was reading through
the case files.

808
00:33:33,315 --> 00:33:35,186
- You pulled an all-nighter?
- I'm fine. I feel great.

809
00:33:35,187 --> 00:33:37,014
More importantly,
I found something,

810
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:39,364
a second name
on the original draft

811
00:33:39,365 --> 00:33:41,235
of NU/DAI's articles
of incorporation.

812
00:33:41,236 --> 00:33:42,758
- You're kidding me. Who?

813
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:46,023
- Samit Junger, engineer.
Old co-worker of Boone's.

814
00:33:46,024 --> 00:33:47,546
They were listed as co-founders

815
00:33:47,547 --> 00:33:49,635
when the application was
submitted and then amended it

816
00:33:49,636 --> 00:33:51,419
two months later,
removing Junger's name,

817
00:33:51,420 --> 00:33:53,030
so he's not on
the official document.

818
00:33:53,031 --> 00:33:54,205
- You think they had
a falling out?

819
00:33:54,206 --> 00:33:55,684
- Wouldn't be the first time

820
00:33:55,685 --> 00:33:57,034
someone got screwed
out of a rising tech company.

821
00:33:57,035 --> 00:33:58,426
Maybe he's sour enough
to help us.

822
00:33:58,427 --> 00:33:59,819
- Here. Take this with you.

823
00:33:59,820 --> 00:34:01,299
You need something
in your stomach.

824
00:34:01,300 --> 00:34:02,996
Listen, if you're gonna speak
to a potential witness,

825
00:34:02,997 --> 00:34:04,998
make sure to bring somebody
from SVU with you, okay?

826
00:34:04,999 --> 00:34:06,130
- Way ahead of you.

827
00:34:06,131 --> 00:34:07,567
- Good work.

828
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:13,746
- Yeah.

829
00:34:13,747 --> 00:34:16,053
Lucas and I built the company's
first AI model together.

830
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:17,750
- How come
you decided to leave?

831
00:34:17,751 --> 00:34:20,231
- I didn't.
He bought me out.

832
00:34:20,232 --> 00:34:21,797
- Must be hard,

833
00:34:21,798 --> 00:34:23,538
to see a company
that you helped build

834
00:34:23,539 --> 00:34:25,062
become successful
after you've left.

835
00:34:25,063 --> 00:34:26,280
- Not really.

836
00:34:26,281 --> 00:34:28,717
His sort of success
doesn't interest me.

837
00:34:28,718 --> 00:34:30,589
- Why not?

838
00:34:30,590 --> 00:34:33,940
- Sorry. Can't talk about it.

839
00:34:33,941 --> 00:34:35,420
- Boone made you sign an NDA?

840
00:34:35,421 --> 00:34:37,074
- Yep.

841
00:34:37,075 --> 00:34:39,467
And I can't afford
to be sued into oblivion.

842
00:34:39,468 --> 00:34:40,990
- I don't think
it'll come to that.

843
00:34:40,991 --> 00:34:42,514
- You don't think?

844
00:34:42,515 --> 00:34:46,170
- NDAs can't be enforced
if they hide illegal activity.

845
00:34:46,171 --> 00:34:48,172
- Samit, kids are being hurt

846
00:34:48,173 --> 00:34:51,653
by the technology
that you helped create.

847
00:34:51,654 --> 00:34:55,441
Please talk to us.

848
00:34:57,269 --> 00:35:00,923
- Our original idea was
a novelty app.

849
00:35:00,924 --> 00:35:03,143
Aging photos up and down.

850
00:35:03,144 --> 00:35:06,494
You know, kids into adults,
adults into kids.

851
00:35:06,495 --> 00:35:08,105
- At what point
did that change?

852
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:11,108
- Once the model started
working better than expected,

853
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:14,241
Lucas realized he could pivot
to something more profitable.

854
00:35:14,242 --> 00:35:15,503
- What was that?

855
00:35:15,504 --> 00:35:17,984
- Adult content. Nudes.

856
00:35:17,985 --> 00:35:19,246
- And did you agree
with his choice?

857
00:35:19,247 --> 00:35:20,726
- No.

858
00:35:20,727 --> 00:35:24,077
I knew our tech would
be way too easy to abuse.

859
00:35:24,078 --> 00:35:27,341
The engine was trained
on millions of public images,

860
00:35:27,342 --> 00:35:30,431
images of real people,
real kids.

861
00:35:30,432 --> 00:35:32,477
- Could you explain
that further, please?

862
00:35:32,478 --> 00:35:36,045
- AI swallows information,
mixes it together,

863
00:35:36,046 --> 00:35:38,135
and then spits it back out.

864
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,398
It can't actually
think for itself.

865
00:35:40,399 --> 00:35:43,575
So if you take a model
trained on images of kids,

866
00:35:43,576 --> 00:35:47,448
millions of them, and then
train it on nude pictures,

867
00:35:47,449 --> 00:35:48,797
it's gonna mix them together.

868
00:35:48,798 --> 00:35:51,148
- You mean
create child pornography?

869
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:53,585
- Yeah.

870
00:35:53,586 --> 00:35:55,195
An algorithm
can't tell the difference

871
00:35:55,196 --> 00:35:57,850
between an 18-year-old
or a 15-year-old.

872
00:35:57,851 --> 00:35:59,286
- And you raised this
with Mr. Boone?

873
00:35:59,287 --> 00:36:00,679
- I did.
- And what happened?

874
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,377
- Lucas fired me.

875
00:36:03,378 --> 00:36:06,119
He owns a majority
of the stake in the company.

876
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,121
- People's exhibit 32,
Your Honor.

877
00:36:08,122 --> 00:36:09,601
These are email exchanges

878
00:36:09,602 --> 00:36:12,908
between Mr. Junger and the
defendant raising concerns

879
00:36:12,909 --> 00:36:14,736
about potential misuse
of NU/DAI's model.

880
00:36:14,737 --> 00:36:18,262
Now, Mr. Junger,
we received 270 gigs of records

881
00:36:18,263 --> 00:36:21,178
from NU/DAI, and yet,
these emails were missing.

882
00:36:21,179 --> 00:36:24,572
Do you have any idea why?

883
00:36:24,573 --> 00:36:26,183
- They were supposed
to be destroyed.

884
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:27,836
- What made you
decide to keep them?

885
00:36:27,837 --> 00:36:30,752
[tense music]

886
00:36:30,753 --> 00:36:32,276
? ?

887
00:36:32,277 --> 00:36:35,454
- Figured we'd all
be here one day.

888
00:36:37,543 --> 00:36:39,239
- On the first count,

889
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:41,502
disseminating indecent
materials to minors

890
00:36:41,503 --> 00:36:43,678
in the second degree,
how do you find?

891
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:45,898
- We find the defendant guilty.

892
00:36:45,899 --> 00:36:48,030
- [whispers] Yes.

893
00:36:48,031 --> 00:36:49,728
- On the second count,

894
00:36:49,729 --> 00:36:54,515
promoting a sexual performance
by a child, how do you find?

895
00:36:54,516 --> 00:36:57,910
- We find the defendant guilty.

896
00:36:57,911 --> 00:37:02,088
- Ladies and gentlemen,
I thank you for your service.

897
00:37:02,089 --> 00:37:03,742
The jury is dismissed.

898
00:37:03,743 --> 00:37:08,921
? ?

899
00:37:08,922 --> 00:37:12,446
Would the prosecution,
defendant, and counsel

900
00:37:12,447 --> 00:37:14,405
please sit?

901
00:37:14,406 --> 00:37:16,145
I have something to say.

902
00:37:16,146 --> 00:37:22,978
? ?

903
00:37:22,979 --> 00:37:28,680
Mr. Carisi, I applaud your team
on a compelling case.

904
00:37:28,681 --> 00:37:32,074
Considering the emotions
around this matter,

905
00:37:32,075 --> 00:37:34,903
the jury's findings
are understandable.

906
00:37:34,904 --> 00:37:37,906
However, I do not believe
the laws as written

907
00:37:37,907 --> 00:37:39,517
support the decision.

908
00:37:39,518 --> 00:37:41,997
Though I find Boone's
business practices despicable,

909
00:37:41,998 --> 00:37:45,305
negligent,
and lacking in basic decency,

910
00:37:45,306 --> 00:37:47,612
these failings
are not criminal

911
00:37:47,613 --> 00:37:50,832
and they do not apply
under our current statutes.

912
00:37:50,833 --> 00:37:53,226
To convict him as if they did,
though satisfying,

913
00:37:53,227 --> 00:37:54,662
is a miscarriage of justice,

914
00:37:54,663 --> 00:37:58,318
and therefore,
I am setting the verdict aside.

915
00:37:58,319 --> 00:37:59,798
- What?

916
00:37:59,799 --> 00:38:03,105
- I don't disagree with
your intent in this case.

917
00:38:03,106 --> 00:38:05,673
But if you wish
to change the laws,

918
00:38:05,674 --> 00:38:10,461
you will need to go to Albany,
not my courtroom.

919
00:38:10,462 --> 00:38:12,289
Defendant is free to go.

920
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,421
Case is dismissed.

921
00:38:14,422 --> 00:38:16,205
[indistinct chatter]

922
00:38:16,206 --> 00:38:17,729
- What the hell just happened?

923
00:38:17,730 --> 00:38:19,905
- Big swings don't always
make it out of the park, CJ.

924
00:38:19,906 --> 00:38:21,428
- Can we do something?

925
00:38:21,429 --> 00:38:23,038
- We lost, yeah.

926
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:26,433
But we also won because
with Samit's testimony,

927
00:38:26,434 --> 00:38:28,870
Boone's gonna be exposed
to a wave of civil cases.

928
00:38:28,871 --> 00:38:30,307
And with any luck,

929
00:38:30,308 --> 00:38:31,308
he's gonna be out of business
in a couple weeks.

930
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:32,613
- Yeah.

931
00:38:32,614 --> 00:38:34,528
Too bad ten more companies
just like his

932
00:38:34,529 --> 00:38:36,443
got incorporated today.

933
00:38:36,444 --> 00:38:42,319
? ?

934
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,103
- Look, I'm just saying that

935
00:38:44,104 --> 00:38:47,846
I may or may not have
taken ChatGPT out for a spin

936
00:38:47,847 --> 00:38:49,151
once or twice.

937
00:38:49,152 --> 00:38:51,981
- Okay. To do what, exactly?

938
00:38:53,809 --> 00:38:56,202
- Therapy.

939
00:38:56,203 --> 00:38:57,943
- Terry, please tell me that
you're joking right now.

940
00:38:57,944 --> 00:39:00,032
- They gave her a nice voice.
She's easy to talk to.

941
00:39:00,033 --> 00:39:01,338
- Wow.

942
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:02,991
- Okay, I will give you
the phone number

943
00:39:02,992 --> 00:39:07,432
of a very nice human therapist
because clearly, you need it.

944
00:39:11,301 --> 00:39:13,350
- Amanda.

945
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:16,744
- Hello, everyone.

946
00:39:16,745 --> 00:39:18,529
- Hey, kid,
come get a drink with us.

947
00:39:18,530 --> 00:39:21,227
- Uh, I got paperwork.

948
00:39:21,228 --> 00:39:22,446
- Curry's buying.

949
00:39:22,447 --> 00:39:24,883
- I am?

950
00:39:24,884 --> 00:39:28,408
- Okay.
- [sighs]

951
00:39:28,409 --> 00:39:30,671
- I'm sorry for
the radio silence.

952
00:39:30,672 --> 00:39:33,718
I've been weighing my options.

953
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,068
- So Tynan
is not messing with me?

954
00:39:36,069 --> 00:39:38,462
You-
you're actually leaving Intel?

955
00:39:38,463 --> 00:39:40,986
- Well, she overhauled it
beyond recognition.

956
00:39:40,987 --> 00:39:44,381
She put her own guy in there,
moved my boss to the Bronx.

957
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:46,818
- You called it.
She changed everything.

958
00:39:46,819 --> 00:39:48,210
- Mm.

959
00:39:48,211 --> 00:39:50,169
- Amanda,
I don't have to tell you

960
00:39:50,170 --> 00:39:53,390
that there's always
a spot here for you.

961
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:55,304
- You know,
I'd love to come back here.

962
00:39:55,305 --> 00:39:58,917
But playing a pawn in whatever
game Tynan is playing with you,

963
00:39:58,918 --> 00:40:00,092
it doesn't sit right.

964
00:40:00,093 --> 00:40:02,399
- Right.
And what's the alternative?

965
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,704
- Intel's off the table.

966
00:40:03,705 --> 00:40:07,882
And could go back to teaching.
Maybe.

967
00:40:07,883 --> 00:40:09,755
- [sighs]

968
00:40:11,278 --> 00:40:12,626
Look, is this an offer

969
00:40:12,627 --> 00:40:15,107
that's gonna bite me in the ass
down the line?

970
00:40:15,108 --> 00:40:16,761
Probably.

971
00:40:16,762 --> 00:40:18,284
I mean, she's after something.
I just don't know what.

972
00:40:18,285 --> 00:40:19,590
- Mm.

973
00:40:19,591 --> 00:40:22,027
- But personally,
it sure would be nice

974
00:40:22,028 --> 00:40:26,510
to have somebody in here
that I could trust.

975
00:40:26,511 --> 00:40:29,077
- Unlike Griffin?

976
00:40:29,078 --> 00:40:30,688
- He's fine.

977
00:40:30,689 --> 00:40:33,995
You know, he's-might even
be here for the right reasons.

978
00:40:33,996 --> 00:40:36,607
I don't know,
but he's ambitious.

979
00:40:36,608 --> 00:40:39,305
- Mm.
- Which could be worse.

980
00:40:39,306 --> 00:40:42,308
[pensive music]

981
00:40:42,309 --> 00:40:45,878
- Well...

982
00:40:46,661 --> 00:40:50,448
I guess I'll be keeping
a close eye on him around here.

983
00:40:55,627 --> 00:40:57,062
All right.

984
00:40:57,063 --> 00:40:58,542
See you in the morning, boss.

985
00:40:58,543 --> 00:41:06,115
? ?

986
00:41:11,033 --> 00:41:13,905
[dramatic music]

987
00:41:13,906 --> 00:41:21,479
? ?

988
00:41:41,107 --> 00:41:45,107
[wolf howls]

989
00:41:45,157 --> 00:41:49,707
