1
00:00:05,253 --> 00:00:07,124
In the criminal justice system,

2
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:08,502
sexually based offenses

3
00:00:08,550 --> 00:00:10,802
are considered especially heinous.

4
00:00:10,945 --> 00:00:13,382
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

5
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:15,175
who investigate these vicious felonies

6
00:00:15,223 --> 00:00:16,635
are members of an elite squad

7
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:18,435
known as the Special Victims Unit.

8
00:00:18,622 --> 00:00:20,249
These are their stories.

9
00:00:26,901 --> 00:00:28,689
Are you my appendix?

10
00:00:28,737 --> 00:00:29,898
Excuse me?

11
00:00:29,946 --> 00:00:31,441
Because I want to take you out.

12
00:00:31,489 --> 00:00:33,620
Oh, that's...

13
00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:35,773
That's not nice, that's my drink.

14
00:00:35,822 --> 00:00:37,030
Not anymore.

15
00:00:37,078 --> 00:00:38,874
- Okay.
- Don't you know?

16
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:42,783
Possession is 9/10 of the law.

17
00:00:42,832 --> 00:00:43,969
Where'd you get your law degree,

18
00:00:44,018 --> 00:00:45,747
College of Staten Island?

19
00:00:46,296 --> 00:00:47,916
These lips could give a guy like you

20
00:00:47,964 --> 00:00:50,145
a hell of a 21st birthday.

21
00:00:50,592 --> 00:00:52,455
Who told you it was my birthday?

22
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:57,467
What did I tell you?

23
00:00:57,515 --> 00:00:59,970
- Hey.
- Hey, hey, hey.

24
00:01:00,018 --> 00:01:01,513
Oh, come on, what's the matter?

25
00:01:01,561 --> 00:01:03,724
What, did she spill your gin fizz?

26
00:01:03,772 --> 00:01:06,393
It was a tequila Negroni,
you philistines.

27
00:01:06,441 --> 00:01:07,936
- A what?
- It ain't an insult

28
00:01:07,984 --> 00:01:09,396
if we never heard the word before.

29
00:01:09,444 --> 00:01:11,398
- Whose idea was that?
- Relax, kid.

30
00:01:11,446 --> 00:01:13,317
Mandy's a catch.
A good, Irish Catholic girl.

31
00:01:13,365 --> 00:01:14,735
All right, that's it.

32
00:01:14,783 --> 00:01:15,902
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what do you mean that's it?

33
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:17,029
What are you doing?
Where are you going?

34
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:18,322
I'm going back to the city.

35
00:01:18,370 --> 00:01:19,406
What do mean you're
going back to the city?

36
00:01:19,454 --> 00:01:20,991
We're playing a game.

37
00:01:21,039 --> 00:01:23,285
I told you I wanted
to keep my birthday low key.

38
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:25,996
Oh, come on, turning 21
is not a low-key birthday.

39
00:01:26,044 --> 00:01:27,604
These guys watched you grow up.

40
00:01:27,668 --> 00:01:29,420
Come on, they just bought
you a drink, that's all.

41
00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:32,550
Aidan!

42
00:01:34,368 --> 00:01:35,578
Aidan!

43
00:01:36,805 --> 00:01:38,342
Son! Hey!

44
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:39,760
These guys didn't
mean anything by that.

45
00:01:39,808 --> 00:01:41,178
They just wanted to celebrate with you.

46
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:42,220
By getting me laid.

47
00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:43,472
What's wrong with that?

48
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,182
If I have to explain it to you,

49
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:46,642
then you haven't been listening.

50
00:01:46,702 --> 00:01:48,101
- I gotta go.
- No, no, no, wait.

51
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:49,311
Just give me one second, okay?

52
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:50,604
I have your suit
for Aunt Pammie's wedding

53
00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:52,105
in the trunk of my car.
Give me one...

54
00:01:52,153 --> 00:01:53,440
My car is literally right here,

55
00:01:53,488 --> 00:01:55,442
and I didn't pick out
that suit; you did.

56
00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:56,693
Don't start with that.

57
00:01:56,741 --> 00:01:58,737
You want me to wear it
so bad, you drop it off.

58
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:00,322
You want me to drive into Manhattan

59
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:02,152
to drop off your suit?

60
00:02:02,956 --> 00:02:04,218
Aidan!

61
00:02:05,626 --> 00:02:06,961
Oh, come on.

62
00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:10,777
- Hey.
- Oh.

63
00:02:10,826 --> 00:02:12,417
There you are. Sit down.

64
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,867
And, uh, ask me,

65
00:02:14,915 --> 00:02:16,922
why I'm popping a bottle of champagne

66
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:18,423
in the middle of the day.

67
00:02:18,471 --> 00:02:19,841
You won a big case?

68
00:02:19,889 --> 00:02:21,051
- No.
- No.

69
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:24,388
We are celebrating.

70
00:02:24,898 --> 00:02:26,723
Okay, I figured that out.

71
00:02:26,771 --> 00:02:29,901
Okay, listen, stop being
a detective for five seconds.

72
00:02:31,941 --> 00:02:34,363
You blew those kids at Fordham away,

73
00:02:34,696 --> 00:02:37,135
and my old college roommate
was impressed.

74
00:02:37,235 --> 00:02:38,993
And he called me today,

75
00:02:39,239 --> 00:02:40,704
to put out some feelers.

76
00:02:40,795 --> 00:02:42,206
For what?

77
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:44,103
The way he puts it,

78
00:02:44,372 --> 00:02:46,887
they're gonna approach you
with a job offer...

79
00:02:47,067 --> 00:02:48,604
a teaching position.

80
00:02:50,211 --> 00:02:51,665
I'm not a teacher.

81
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:54,899
No, but you are an expert
in forensic psychology.

82
00:02:55,315 --> 00:02:57,963
After you got shot,
you've been all but hinting

83
00:02:58,011 --> 00:02:59,028
that you might need a change.

84
00:02:59,077 --> 00:03:01,117
- I thought this might be perfect.
- Carisi, stop,

85
00:03:01,308 --> 00:03:02,906
being a lawyer for five seconds.

86
00:03:02,955 --> 00:03:06,327
I-I didn't mean leaving SVU.

87
00:03:07,228 --> 00:03:09,120
You can say no if you want.

88
00:03:10,126 --> 00:03:13,331
Just don't say no right now.

89
00:03:13,526 --> 00:03:15,522
Right now, enjoy your champagne,

90
00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:17,697
and then after that, sleep on it.

91
00:03:20,672 --> 00:03:21,951
To the future.

92
00:03:25,019 --> 00:03:26,437
Hmm.

93
00:03:28,016 --> 00:03:29,157
Hmm.

94
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:38,608
Aidan?

95
00:03:39,341 --> 00:03:40,819
Yo?

96
00:03:41,016 --> 00:03:42,532
Aidan!

97
00:03:42,972 --> 00:03:44,458
Aidan, come on, it's getting late.

98
00:03:44,507 --> 00:03:47,170
We got to be suited up
in the church by 9:00 a.m.

99
00:03:47,579 --> 00:03:49,006
Aidan!

100
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:51,391
Aidan, if you don't show up, your aunt

101
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:52,726
is gonna absolutely lose it.

102
00:03:52,774 --> 00:03:54,102
I can hear your cell in there.

103
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:55,234
I know you're in there, come on!

104
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:58,065
Aidan!

105
00:04:02,168 --> 00:04:03,665
Aidan?

106
00:05:01,384 --> 00:05:03,714
So the victim is the kid
of one of our own?

107
00:05:03,762 --> 00:05:06,425
Detective Mark McDaniels,
Grand Larceny division.

108
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:09,457
The same McDaniels who
collared the postal inspector

109
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:11,243
- a few years back?
- Special Frauds.

110
00:05:11,292 --> 00:05:13,516
That phony check scam case, right?

111
00:05:13,813 --> 00:05:15,484
Mack's a good man.

112
00:05:16,634 --> 00:05:18,740
What can you tell us about his son?

113
00:05:19,277 --> 00:05:20,899
The kid just turned 21,

114
00:05:20,947 --> 00:05:22,566
lived alone, went to FIT.

115
00:05:22,735 --> 00:05:26,236
Worked for some high-end
clothing brand in Soho.

116
00:05:26,389 --> 00:05:28,280
And his father
is the one who found him?

117
00:05:28,329 --> 00:05:29,640
He called it in.

118
00:05:29,829 --> 00:05:31,033
I called you guys.

119
00:05:31,249 --> 00:05:32,909
What's the sexual component?

120
00:05:33,221 --> 00:05:35,335
I found bite marks on his genitals.

121
00:05:48,742 --> 00:05:49,885
I couldn't get him out of the house.

122
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:51,267
We'll talk to him.

123
00:05:52,727 --> 00:05:54,381
Detective McDaniels?

124
00:05:54,646 --> 00:05:56,183
I'm Captain Benson.

125
00:05:56,277 --> 00:05:58,087
This is Detective Rollins.

126
00:06:00,101 --> 00:06:01,910
Can you tell us what happened?

127
00:06:02,112 --> 00:06:03,190
Yeah.

128
00:06:03,402 --> 00:06:05,025
Uh...

129
00:06:05,275 --> 00:06:07,389
We were celebrating my son's, uh,

130
00:06:07,437 --> 00:06:09,455
you know, 21st birthday, and, uh,

131
00:06:10,890 --> 00:06:12,374
you know,
he used to be such a good bowler

132
00:06:12,423 --> 00:06:14,008
when he was a kid, so we...

133
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:19,314
And, uh...

134
00:06:19,555 --> 00:06:22,825
I was just trying to drop off his suit.

135
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:25,545
You know, uh,

136
00:06:25,593 --> 00:06:28,432
you know that expression
one day at a time?

137
00:06:28,661 --> 00:06:30,318
I think today...

138
00:06:30,807 --> 00:06:33,599
It's one minute at a time.

139
00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:38,579
He had, he had bite marks on him.

140
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:41,481
On his back,

141
00:06:42,493 --> 00:06:43,897
on his upper thigh,

142
00:06:43,945 --> 00:06:45,538
and, uh,

143
00:06:47,282 --> 00:06:50,315
all over his, uh, his groin area.

144
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:53,057
Yeah, Detective Fernandez
brought us up to speed.

145
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,971
I mean, as far as I know,
my kid was a virgin.

146
00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:56,052
What kind of...

147
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:57,491
What kind of monster does this?

148
00:06:57,540 --> 00:06:59,141
That's what we're gonna find out.

149
00:06:59,190 --> 00:07:01,009
Oh, God, I'm sorry.

150
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:03,959
The door, was it broken
like that when you got here?

151
00:07:04,007 --> 00:07:05,601
No, I did that.

152
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:08,221
I didn't know it was
a crime scene, but, you know,

153
00:07:08,887 --> 00:07:10,570
when I looked in and I saw my...

154
00:07:10,618 --> 00:07:11,798
My son dead on the...

155
00:07:11,858 --> 00:07:15,096
on the floor, you know,
I kind of lost it, okay?

156
00:07:15,352 --> 00:07:17,500
Is there somebody
that we can call for you?

157
00:07:18,092 --> 00:07:21,184
- Your wife?
- My ex, Laura.

158
00:07:21,232 --> 00:07:22,602
Yeah, I should call her.

159
00:07:22,650 --> 00:07:25,912
Yeah, if I was his mother,
that's what I would want,

160
00:07:25,961 --> 00:07:27,858
and I'd want to hear it from you.

161
00:07:27,906 --> 00:07:29,231
Yeah.

162
00:07:29,308 --> 00:07:30,476
Oh, God.

163
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:42,039
We came as soon as I got your text.

164
00:07:42,087 --> 00:07:43,206
This guy's in bad shape.

165
00:07:43,254 --> 00:07:44,902
Look, father to father...

166
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:46,808
Okay, I'll keep an eye on him.

167
00:07:47,188 --> 00:07:49,058
This kid, it's awful.

168
00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:50,756
He crossed paths with a monster

169
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:52,026
at some point last night.

170
00:07:52,075 --> 00:07:54,760
Look, go outside and check if
there's any security cameras.

171
00:07:54,808 --> 00:07:57,304
Check his phone, his social,
and tell me what you find.

172
00:08:08,808 --> 00:08:10,233
Did the perp place the towel like that?

173
00:08:10,281 --> 00:08:11,568
I asked Mack about it.

174
00:08:11,616 --> 00:08:14,414
He said he did it,
to preserve the kid's dignity.

175
00:08:14,785 --> 00:08:17,073
Okay, well,
that's gonna mess up the case,

176
00:08:17,122 --> 00:08:19,076
but, I certainly get it.

177
00:08:19,346 --> 00:08:21,286
Half the closet's empty.

178
00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:22,732
Drawers too.

179
00:08:23,378 --> 00:08:24,581
Kid was an art school student.

180
00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:26,228
Probably on a shoestring budget.

181
00:08:26,417 --> 00:08:28,320
Probably didn't have much
to begin with.

182
00:08:29,467 --> 00:08:31,034
That may be something.

183
00:08:31,386 --> 00:08:32,714
May be nothing.

184
00:08:32,762 --> 00:08:34,439
Thanks, Fernandez.

185
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:36,918
Can you imagine,

186
00:08:36,999 --> 00:08:39,273
if it was Jessie or Billie or Noah?

187
00:08:39,388 --> 00:08:41,614
We're used to seeing
this stuff all the time.

188
00:08:41,663 --> 00:08:43,158
I can't.

189
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:50,320
_

190
00:08:50,321 --> 00:08:52,569
Thanks for coming in on your day off.

191
00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:55,129
Well, what can you tell us
about Aidan McDaniels?

192
00:08:55,243 --> 00:08:57,197
Well, in addition to bite marks,

193
00:08:57,245 --> 00:08:59,001
he's got quite a few injuries.

194
00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:02,733
Cause of death, head trauma,
internal bleeding.

195
00:09:03,005 --> 00:09:04,414
So he was beaten?

196
00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:06,211
More like tortured.

197
00:09:06,338 --> 00:09:07,916
Whoever did this started
with the biting,

198
00:09:07,965 --> 00:09:09,793
then switched to some kind of object.

199
00:09:09,841 --> 00:09:11,783
Do you have any idea
what the object was?

200
00:09:11,850 --> 00:09:13,300
Blunt force,

201
00:09:13,348 --> 00:09:16,750
four inch diameter,
with a significant taper.

202
00:09:16,931 --> 00:09:19,062
Off-hand, I'd say it was a wine bottle.

203
00:09:19,351 --> 00:09:22,215
Likely the same one
he was sodomized with.

204
00:09:22,437 --> 00:09:23,932
So it was a rage attack?

205
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:26,226
He's got quite a few internal ruptures.

206
00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:27,686
Ooh.

207
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:29,896
Do you know if this happened
antemortem or post?

208
00:09:29,944 --> 00:09:31,690
Haven't had enough time
with the body yet.

209
00:09:31,738 --> 00:09:34,151
Why?
Does that impact your investigation?

210
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:36,153
No, but it'll matter to the father.

211
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:37,928
He's a cop, he's gonna ask questions.

212
00:09:37,977 --> 00:09:39,524
I know I would.

213
00:09:40,025 --> 00:09:42,354
Were you able to recover any DNA?

214
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:44,398
Checked the vic's mouth,

215
00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:46,277
under the nails,

216
00:09:46,544 --> 00:09:48,236
got a whole lot of nothing.

217
00:09:48,505 --> 00:09:49,931
Really?
Thats...

218
00:09:49,979 --> 00:09:51,668
That's odd, he didn't fight back at all?

219
00:09:51,716 --> 00:09:53,581
Whether he did or he didn't,

220
00:09:53,629 --> 00:09:55,047
it's tough to say,

221
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:57,161
and even tougher to prove at trial.

222
00:09:57,326 --> 00:10:00,186
His nails were trimmed
right down to the beds.

223
00:10:00,546 --> 00:10:02,832
I also found residue of sodium stearate,

224
00:10:02,979 --> 00:10:05,876
on his hands, face, neck, upper body.

225
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:07,354
Sodium stearate?

226
00:10:07,441 --> 00:10:10,502
A common surfactant used
in household detergents.

227
00:10:10,902 --> 00:10:13,357
And based on the new
and improved lemony scent,

228
00:10:13,405 --> 00:10:15,026
I'd say it was dish soap.

229
00:10:15,323 --> 00:10:18,320
Okay, so whoever this was
knew how to get rid of the DNA.

230
00:10:18,368 --> 00:10:20,113
Sometimes the absence of something

231
00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:21,744
has a presence all its own.

232
00:10:26,334 --> 00:10:28,545
That level of rage,
we're looking at some type

233
00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:30,097
- of serial sex predator.
- But rage is...

234
00:10:30,145 --> 00:10:32,250
Is primal, rage is messy.

235
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:34,211
It doesn't stop
to trim someone's nails.

236
00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:35,587
But people can learn to control

237
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,929
their aggressive impulses, professor.

238
00:10:40,165 --> 00:10:43,374
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

239
00:10:43,727 --> 00:10:45,302
What now?

240
00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:46,932
You get anything, Muncy?

241
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:49,309
Yeah, I went through Aidan's texts.

242
00:10:49,357 --> 00:10:50,727
He made plans to meet up with a friend

243
00:10:50,775 --> 00:10:53,772
after the bar, Brian Donnelly,
at the old neighborhood.

244
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:55,899
- Where's that?
- Howard Beach.

245
00:10:55,947 --> 00:10:57,234
Where John Gotti used to live.

246
00:10:57,282 --> 00:10:59,421
That neighborhood is racist, sexist,

247
00:10:59,469 --> 00:11:01,508
and phobic of just about everything.

248
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,662
Yeah.

249
00:11:02,711 --> 00:11:04,539
Good place to meet a monster.

250
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:10,961
_

251
00:11:10,962 --> 00:11:12,827
That's Aidan, good kid,

252
00:11:12,875 --> 00:11:14,251
a little sensitive.

253
00:11:14,398 --> 00:11:16,528
So he got murdered?
Jeez.

254
00:11:16,801 --> 00:11:18,867
- Catch the guy?
- We're working on it.

255
00:11:18,921 --> 00:11:20,495
We heard Aidan was here last night.

256
00:11:20,597 --> 00:11:22,512
Well, you heard wrong.
Not Aidan.

257
00:11:22,735 --> 00:11:24,945
His boy Brian was here with some chick.

258
00:11:25,769 --> 00:11:26,933
You sure?

259
00:11:27,179 --> 00:11:28,447
I don't mean to talk out of school.

260
00:11:28,496 --> 00:11:29,532
The guy's married.

261
00:11:29,581 --> 00:11:30,618
No Aidan?

262
00:11:30,667 --> 00:11:31,768
I was here all night.

263
00:11:31,882 --> 00:11:33,433
If Aidan was here,
I would've high-fived the guy.

264
00:11:33,482 --> 00:11:34,752
It was his birthday.

265
00:11:34,986 --> 00:11:37,667
I've been slinging that kid
free pints since he turned 16.

266
00:11:38,156 --> 00:11:41,027
Did you just confess
to serving a minor alcohol?

267
00:11:41,734 --> 00:11:44,340
All it would take is a
phone call to shut you down.

268
00:11:44,542 --> 00:11:47,295
Unless you show us
the security footage?

269
00:11:52,494 --> 00:11:54,449
We scrubbed through
all the security footage.

270
00:11:54,498 --> 00:11:57,495
We saw Aidan's friend Brian
out on some kind of a date.

271
00:11:57,594 --> 00:12:00,005
And it didn't go too well
because after about 20 minutes,

272
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:01,548
the date storms off.

273
00:12:01,653 --> 00:12:03,050
And no Aidan?

274
00:12:03,098 --> 00:12:05,617
No, and I went through
all 12 hours the bar was open...

275
00:12:05,666 --> 00:12:07,146
just a bunch of meatheads
getting drunk.

276
00:12:07,195 --> 00:12:09,202
Hold on, go back,
I want to see something.

277
00:12:10,524 --> 00:12:11,619
Freeze it.

278
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:22,032
Does Aidan have a sister?

279
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:25,699
Nope, he's an only child.

280
00:12:26,736 --> 00:12:29,284
Brian's date, is Aidan.

281
00:12:43,851 --> 00:12:45,540
That's you with Aidan, right?

282
00:12:46,224 --> 00:12:47,569
Yep.

283
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:49,727
He asked me to meet him at the bar.

284
00:12:49,854 --> 00:12:51,272
You mean she?

285
00:12:53,148 --> 00:12:54,393
Why'd he want to meet you?

286
00:12:54,547 --> 00:12:55,708
Said he wanted to talk.

287
00:12:55,757 --> 00:12:57,884
- About what?
- What do you think?

288
00:13:00,188 --> 00:13:01,636
That.

289
00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:04,217
Aidan was my best friend,

290
00:13:04,318 --> 00:13:05,755
since second grade.

291
00:13:07,965 --> 00:13:09,527
He's like my brother.

292
00:13:11,565 --> 00:13:12,800
Then she shows up.

293
00:13:12,849 --> 00:13:14,114
So you didn't know about this?

294
00:13:14,163 --> 00:13:16,546
That his name was now Aida?

295
00:13:20,373 --> 00:13:22,837
Howard Beach is a tough neighborhood.

296
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,492
I'm lucky he passed.

297
00:13:24,541 --> 00:13:26,389
The bartender didn't
even know who he was.

298
00:13:26,483 --> 00:13:27,714
So if she didn't pass,

299
00:13:27,762 --> 00:13:29,428
the meatheads there
would have beat your ass?

300
00:13:29,476 --> 00:13:30,554
Both of our asses.

301
00:13:30,602 --> 00:13:31,805
So that's what the fight was about?

302
00:13:31,853 --> 00:13:34,197
Yeah, I was pissed.
I freaked out.

303
00:13:34,245 --> 00:13:35,740
Yelled at him, I overreacted,

304
00:13:35,788 --> 00:13:38,083
yelled at him to stay
the hell away from me.

305
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:41,824
Don't you think I want
to take that back now?

306
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,627
Okay.

307
00:13:43,765 --> 00:13:46,464
So did Aida tell you where
she was going after she left?

308
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,007
She just asked if I would
accept her for who she was.

309
00:13:51,289 --> 00:13:52,576
And what'd you say?

310
00:13:54,943 --> 00:13:56,104
No.

311
00:13:56,252 --> 00:13:58,160
What'd you do when you left the bar?

312
00:13:58,365 --> 00:13:59,785
I went home.

313
00:14:00,209 --> 00:14:02,502
My wife was in the middle
of breastfeeding our baby.

314
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,588
If you need an alibi, you can ask her.

315
00:14:04,636 --> 00:14:06,000
Your wife?

316
00:14:06,439 --> 00:14:08,564
It's not gonna hold
a lot of water in court.

317
00:14:09,015 --> 00:14:11,400
We're gonna need to take
your dental impressions.

318
00:14:11,768 --> 00:14:13,372
Dental impressions?

319
00:14:13,812 --> 00:14:14,944
Yeah,

320
00:14:14,992 --> 00:14:17,100
whoever killed your
friend left bite marks.

321
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:26,360
I had to do it all over again,

322
00:14:26,408 --> 00:14:28,952
I would have bought him a beer
and said I loved him.

323
00:14:35,208 --> 00:14:37,491
Brian's dental impressions
weren't a match.

324
00:14:37,618 --> 00:14:38,956
And his cell phone put him at home

325
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:40,499
at the time of Aida's murder.

326
00:14:40,547 --> 00:14:42,209
So our killer is still out there.

327
00:14:42,257 --> 00:14:45,420
All right, so any idea where
Aida went after Howard Beach?

328
00:14:45,682 --> 00:14:48,799
Her cell phone pinged a tower
in the West Village at 1:00 a.m.

329
00:14:48,847 --> 00:14:50,379
A lot of bars in that area.

330
00:14:50,428 --> 00:14:52,202
Where she would feel accepted.

331
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:53,929
We'll start a canvass in the village.

332
00:14:54,054 --> 00:14:56,311
And we need to speak
with Mack and his wife

333
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,226
to find out if they had any idea,

334
00:14:59,393 --> 00:15:01,436
about their child's private life.

335
00:15:07,365 --> 00:15:09,611
Laura just flew in.

336
00:15:09,659 --> 00:15:11,530
She hasn't been back since we split.

337
00:15:11,578 --> 00:15:12,948
She's a mother, I get it.

338
00:15:12,996 --> 00:15:15,141
I told her it was an active crime scene,
but,

339
00:15:15,993 --> 00:15:17,327
she wouldn't listen.

340
00:15:17,540 --> 00:15:20,998
Anyway, you guys aren't here
to be marriage counselors.

341
00:15:21,179 --> 00:15:23,373
We have some new evidence.

342
00:15:24,049 --> 00:15:26,593
Is there a place that we could talk?

343
00:15:28,335 --> 00:15:30,289
This was from the night of the murder

344
00:15:30,338 --> 00:15:31,758
at a bar in Howard Beach.

345
00:15:31,806 --> 00:15:33,189
Yeah, what is it?
This is nothing.

346
00:15:33,238 --> 00:15:34,803
He's in art school, come on.

347
00:15:35,011 --> 00:15:37,222
Well, we talked to Aidan's friend,

348
00:15:37,453 --> 00:15:39,475
and, he told us that,

349
00:15:39,524 --> 00:15:41,992
That Aidan was trying to live as Aida.

350
00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:43,728
Who?
What friend?

351
00:15:43,777 --> 00:15:45,287
- Brian Donnelly.
- Donnelly.

352
00:15:45,407 --> 00:15:47,259
The Donnelly family
are a bunch of criminals.

353
00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:48,358
- He lied.
- Mark...

354
00:15:48,406 --> 00:15:49,463
- No.
- He's not lying.

355
00:15:49,512 --> 00:15:50,511
What are you talking about?

356
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,603
Remember when Aida came

357
00:15:51,651 --> 00:15:52,659
- to visit me in Sedona?
- Yes.

358
00:15:52,707 --> 00:15:53,981
She was dressed
like this the whole time.

359
00:15:54,030 --> 00:15:55,826
- We even did a rebirth ceremony.
- Okay, I can't even listen...

360
00:15:55,875 --> 00:15:57,743
- Her name is Aida now.
- I can't listen to this.

361
00:15:57,791 --> 00:15:58,910
And this is something that you thought

362
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:00,051
you should keep from me?

363
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:03,498
Aida wanted to tell you in
her own way when she was ready.

364
00:16:03,710 --> 00:16:05,525
I told her to live her truth.

365
00:16:05,574 --> 00:16:07,878
Okay, I think the most important thing

366
00:16:07,926 --> 00:16:10,608
is that you both love
the same child, am I right?

367
00:16:10,774 --> 00:16:14,093
So the more information
that we have about Aidan,

368
00:16:14,671 --> 00:16:16,000
the easier it will be
to find his killer.

369
00:16:16,049 --> 00:16:18,074
Her name is Aida.

370
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:19,681
She was my best friend.

371
00:16:19,729 --> 00:16:21,280
We told each other everything.

372
00:16:21,329 --> 00:16:23,000
We spoke on the phone every night.

373
00:16:26,486 --> 00:16:28,073
What do you want to know?

374
00:16:29,141 --> 00:16:31,137
We need a list of your child's friends,

375
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:33,310
and can you think of
anybody that would be

376
00:16:33,358 --> 00:16:36,019
angry enough to do something like this?

377
00:16:36,371 --> 00:16:37,699
I don't understand.

378
00:16:37,747 --> 00:16:39,284
Aida was an artist.

379
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:40,535
She kept to herself.

380
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:42,162
She wasn't an angry person.

381
00:16:42,330 --> 00:16:44,201
Unfortunately, the killer was.

382
00:16:44,250 --> 00:16:46,251
Which leads us to the next thing

383
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:48,393
that we wanted to talk to you about.

384
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:51,463
The... The pieces don't fit.

385
00:16:51,512 --> 00:16:53,343
'Cause on the one hand,
Aidan's crime scene

386
00:16:53,392 --> 00:16:55,300
exhibits all the hallmarks
of a spree killer...

387
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:56,635
Rage, sloppiness.

388
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:58,919
And on the other hand, there was,

389
00:16:58,967 --> 00:17:02,021
a meticulousness,
and a great deal of care.

390
00:17:02,070 --> 00:17:04,434
Are you saying that
two different people

391
00:17:04,482 --> 00:17:05,644
attacked my daughter?

392
00:17:05,692 --> 00:17:07,145
And you think we're one of them?

393
00:17:07,193 --> 00:17:08,472
All we're saying,

394
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,406
is that these two things
don't normally go together.

395
00:17:11,606 --> 00:17:13,741
All right, whoever did this,

396
00:17:13,789 --> 00:17:16,483
went to great lengths
to cover all of their tracks,

397
00:17:16,531 --> 00:17:18,448
despite their apparent anger.

398
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,842
There were no clothes in the closet.

399
00:17:20,892 --> 00:17:21,961
No makeup.

400
00:17:22,009 --> 00:17:24,246
No... No traces of a secret life.

401
00:17:24,294 --> 00:17:26,649
Most importantly, there was no DNA.

402
00:17:26,698 --> 00:17:27,969
Okay, then you go back to the house.

403
00:17:28,018 --> 00:17:29,126
We will.

404
00:17:29,174 --> 00:17:30,669
I'm sorry, I thought
you were a captain.

405
00:17:30,717 --> 00:17:31,758
- Mark!
- No!

406
00:17:31,807 --> 00:17:32,883
Laura, listen,

407
00:17:32,931 --> 00:17:35,258
they should be solving Aidan's murder,
not accusing us.

408
00:17:35,307 --> 00:17:36,371
Look...

409
00:17:36,833 --> 00:17:38,677
I know that you've
both been through a lot,

410
00:17:38,725 --> 00:17:40,345
and I feel for you, I really do,

411
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:42,478
but there's one thing that
you should know about me.

412
00:17:42,771 --> 00:17:44,938
If I thought that you killed Aidan,

413
00:17:45,322 --> 00:17:46,775
you'd already be in cuffs.

414
00:17:55,356 --> 00:17:56,823
That went well.

415
00:17:56,997 --> 00:17:58,492
Yeah.

416
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:01,366
I think I understand why Laura
moved all the way to Sedona.

417
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:03,201
If it's any consolation,
I saw what she did

418
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:05,037
with Mack there, that verbal judo.

419
00:18:05,085 --> 00:18:06,705
Rollins, I've been
giving guys like that

420
00:18:06,753 --> 00:18:08,248
the smackdown my entire career.

421
00:18:08,296 --> 00:18:10,547
No, I'm talking about
you mirroring his language.

422
00:18:10,757 --> 00:18:12,419
Well, he wasn't gonna talk to us

423
00:18:12,467 --> 00:18:13,889
if I used the wrong pronoun.

424
00:18:13,938 --> 00:18:15,335
Wrong to him.

425
00:18:16,399 --> 00:18:17,798
You saw the look on his face,

426
00:18:17,846 --> 00:18:20,381
when I talked about the
closets being emptied out?

427
00:18:22,072 --> 00:18:23,186
I did.

428
00:18:25,224 --> 00:18:27,758
Look, from his point of view, I mean,

429
00:18:28,024 --> 00:18:30,481
it's like the guy lost his son twice.

430
00:18:30,641 --> 00:18:32,731
I've seen disassociation before.

431
00:18:32,779 --> 00:18:34,431
You have too.

432
00:18:34,906 --> 00:18:38,236
I mean, like you said,
the pieces don't fit.

433
00:18:39,473 --> 00:18:41,413
- You think he's hiding something?
- I don't know.

434
00:18:43,582 --> 00:18:45,411
There's been another assault.

435
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:48,255
Chelsea, same MO...
sodomy, attempted murder.

436
00:18:48,420 --> 00:18:50,704
Let me guess, the vic's
covered in bite marks?

437
00:18:50,841 --> 00:18:52,094
Yeah.

438
00:18:52,095 --> 00:18:56,593
_

439
00:18:56,594 --> 00:18:58,173
Can you tell me your name?

440
00:18:58,221 --> 00:19:00,340
- Cora.
- What happened, Cora?

441
00:19:00,974 --> 00:19:02,389
He tried to kill me,

442
00:19:02,437 --> 00:19:04,229
the man from the bar.

443
00:19:04,477 --> 00:19:05,892
Munce.

444
00:19:07,098 --> 00:19:08,802
Uni says she maced the guy,

445
00:19:08,851 --> 00:19:10,587
and he fell off that fire escape.

446
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,407
That means he couldn't have gotten far.

447
00:19:24,063 --> 00:19:26,867
Why don't you start wherever
you feel comfortable?

448
00:19:26,916 --> 00:19:28,796
And you don't have to go in order.

449
00:19:28,869 --> 00:19:34,037
I was leaving the Cubbyhole
with some friends.

450
00:19:34,104 --> 00:19:36,696
They got into a cab, and,

451
00:19:36,744 --> 00:19:39,840
this guy started
chatting me up outside.

452
00:19:39,888 --> 00:19:41,174
Did he give you his name?

453
00:19:41,222 --> 00:19:42,384
Lukas.

454
00:19:42,432 --> 00:19:47,097
He was tall, cute, light brown hair,

455
00:19:47,145 --> 00:19:49,891
and, dimples and an accent.

456
00:19:49,939 --> 00:19:51,393
Okay, do you know what kind of accent?

457
00:19:51,441 --> 00:19:54,283
French, or Dutch maybe.

458
00:19:54,332 --> 00:19:57,180
He said he was in town for a month as

459
00:19:57,228 --> 00:19:59,818
project manager,
for some architecture firm.

460
00:19:59,925 --> 00:20:01,521
Did he mention the name of the firm?

461
00:20:01,570 --> 00:20:02,969
No, he didn't.

462
00:20:03,018 --> 00:20:04,657
So, um,

463
00:20:04,777 --> 00:20:07,492
can I ask you a sensitive question?

464
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:11,830
I'm in a hospital bed
covered in bite marks.

465
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:14,499
- I think we're past that.
- Okay.

466
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:16,411
Did he know that you were trans?

467
00:20:16,472 --> 00:20:17,794
I told him.

468
00:20:17,965 --> 00:20:19,969
He was intrigued.

469
00:20:20,571 --> 00:20:23,310
And, what happened when you got home?

470
00:20:25,141 --> 00:20:27,718
The second we got into the door,
it was like...

471
00:20:27,766 --> 00:20:29,640
A switch flipped.

472
00:20:29,714 --> 00:20:32,838
He went full-on beast mode.

473
00:20:32,925 --> 00:20:34,019
How?

474
00:20:34,068 --> 00:20:36,539
He slammed me against the wall, and,

475
00:20:37,005 --> 00:20:41,312
tore my clothes off and,
started biting me.

476
00:20:41,835 --> 00:20:46,133
Then he grabbed a wine bottle, and...

477
00:20:46,788 --> 00:20:48,617
Started raping me with it.

478
00:20:49,642 --> 00:20:52,561
I pretended to go along with it,
so, uh,

479
00:20:52,668 --> 00:20:54,606
So, I could grab my mace.

480
00:20:55,218 --> 00:20:57,964
I blinded the bastard,
and he took off out the window.

481
00:20:58,489 --> 00:21:02,881
I heard him fall, but when
I looked down, he was gone.

482
00:21:06,224 --> 00:21:08,677
Oh, oh, what's the matter?

483
00:21:08,757 --> 00:21:11,014
- What's the... what is it?
- Ma'am, are you okay?

484
00:21:11,062 --> 00:21:13,803
Oh, that poor man must have fallen.

485
00:21:13,883 --> 00:21:15,704
Oh, I tell my friend Rita all the time

486
00:21:15,773 --> 00:21:17,020
she should watch out for these things.

487
00:21:17,068 --> 00:21:18,932
These bodegas are gonna kill somebody.

488
00:21:18,981 --> 00:21:20,983
- You should give the owner a ticket.
- Hey, freeze!

489
00:21:21,031 --> 00:21:22,715
- What if my dog fell down there?
- Ma'am, shut up!

490
00:21:22,951 --> 00:21:23,939
Fin, I got him.

491
00:21:23,988 --> 00:21:25,278
Corner of 10th and 21st.

492
00:21:25,326 --> 00:21:27,154
Basement of the Circle Mart.

493
00:21:28,913 --> 00:21:30,768
Stay put, Muncy.

494
00:21:31,215 --> 00:21:32,659
NYPD!

495
00:21:34,085 --> 00:21:35,587
Hands where I can see 'em!

496
00:21:48,975 --> 00:21:50,512
- Get up!
- Ah! Ah!

497
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:51,848
Get up!

498
00:21:53,089 --> 00:21:54,543
You're under arrest!
Hey!

499
00:21:54,592 --> 00:21:56,732
- You're under arrest!
- Muncy? Muncy?

500
00:21:56,892 --> 00:21:58,066
I got him.

501
00:21:58,114 --> 00:21:59,271
I got him.

502
00:21:59,385 --> 00:22:00,454
What the hell happened to him?

503
00:22:00,503 --> 00:22:02,356
I think he's got a broken rib.

504
00:22:02,489 --> 00:22:04,089
Don't look at me, I didn't do it.

505
00:22:04,138 --> 00:22:05,478
He fell off the fire escape,

506
00:22:05,527 --> 00:22:07,201
and then went down there to hide.

507
00:22:10,538 --> 00:22:11,788
Do you think it's the same guy

508
00:22:11,836 --> 00:22:13,420
- who attacked Aida?
- We'll see.

509
00:22:13,518 --> 00:22:15,661
I mean, hopefully,
we'll get some usable DNA

510
00:22:15,709 --> 00:22:16,985
from Cora's rape kit.

511
00:22:17,378 --> 00:22:19,186
- Fin?
- Muncy hauled this guy

512
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,653
out of a bodega cellar.

513
00:22:20,705 --> 00:22:21,793
Are we sure that it's him?

514
00:22:21,841 --> 00:22:23,295
Well, he's pretty banged up.

515
00:22:23,343 --> 00:22:24,800
Either he fell off a fire escape,

516
00:22:24,849 --> 00:22:27,007
or Muncy's a lot stronger
than she looks.

517
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:28,183
You have a black light on you?

518
00:22:28,243 --> 00:22:29,509
Yeah, why?

519
00:22:29,557 --> 00:22:31,447
Because our vic just said
that she maced him,

520
00:22:31,496 --> 00:22:32,846
and as far as I know,

521
00:22:32,894 --> 00:22:35,057
all pepper spray has UV dye in it.

522
00:22:35,384 --> 00:22:36,582
Okay.

523
00:22:46,852 --> 00:22:48,171
It wasn't me.

524
00:22:48,220 --> 00:22:50,904
Yeah, well, your eyes
tell a different story.

525
00:22:52,613 --> 00:22:55,044
Lukas Peeters, he's a Belgian national.

526
00:22:55,093 --> 00:22:56,632
He's been in New York for two weeks.

527
00:22:56,681 --> 00:22:58,205
He doesn't have a record in the U.S.

528
00:22:58,253 --> 00:22:59,461
We're checking with Interpol.

529
00:22:59,510 --> 00:23:01,334
And the victim, Cora,
made a positive ID?

530
00:23:01,391 --> 00:23:03,559
In a lineup.
And the forensics were a match.

531
00:23:03,666 --> 00:23:06,254
His prints and her DNA
were on the wine bottle

532
00:23:06,302 --> 00:23:07,589
that was used in the assault.

533
00:23:07,730 --> 00:23:10,033
This guy make any admission
of guilt before he lawyered up?

534
00:23:10,081 --> 00:23:11,635
Oh, he's claiming
that it was consensual.

535
00:23:11,683 --> 00:23:12,895
Nice try.

536
00:23:13,023 --> 00:23:14,676
I'll arraign him,
I'll get an indictment.

537
00:23:14,725 --> 00:23:16,339
- The vic's good to testify?
- She is.

538
00:23:16,388 --> 00:23:17,466
Captain, sorry to interrupt.

539
00:23:17,515 --> 00:23:19,096
Detective McDaniels is here.

540
00:23:20,275 --> 00:23:22,228
It's okay.
Send him in.

541
00:23:23,862 --> 00:23:25,941
I heard you have a suspect in custody?

542
00:23:26,248 --> 00:23:27,479
There he is.
He killed my son.

543
00:23:27,528 --> 00:23:29,303
We don't know that.

544
00:23:29,659 --> 00:23:31,029
What are you charging him with?

545
00:23:31,077 --> 00:23:32,781
As of now, aggravated sexual abuse

546
00:23:32,829 --> 00:23:34,281
and attempted murder one, but,

547
00:23:34,329 --> 00:23:35,575
on the case from last night.

548
00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:37,077
No, I heard about the bite marks

549
00:23:37,125 --> 00:23:38,537
on the second vic, the sexual assault.

550
00:23:38,585 --> 00:23:40,212
Did you match those
to the bite marks on Aidan?

551
00:23:40,261 --> 00:23:42,173
Actually, they were inconclusive.

552
00:23:42,422 --> 00:23:43,834
Did you even ask him about Aidan?

553
00:23:43,882 --> 00:23:45,880
We did, and he denies
ever having met her.

554
00:23:45,929 --> 00:23:48,133
Okay, so canvass all the
bars, pull the street cams.

555
00:23:48,273 --> 00:23:49,557
Put them together, do your job.

556
00:23:49,606 --> 00:23:51,675
- Detective McDaniels...
- Even if they were seen together,

557
00:23:51,723 --> 00:23:53,477
there is no evidence putting him

558
00:23:53,526 --> 00:23:55,304
at your child's crime scene.
There's no DNA.

559
00:23:55,352 --> 00:23:57,812
We told you the whole place was wiped.

560
00:23:59,939 --> 00:24:01,362
Oh, my God.

561
00:24:06,484 --> 00:24:07,899
Detective McDaniels, is there something

562
00:24:07,947 --> 00:24:09,860
that you want to tell us?

563
00:24:10,013 --> 00:24:12,828
Because your son was dressed as a woman,

564
00:24:12,877 --> 00:24:14,601
the night of his murder,

565
00:24:14,649 --> 00:24:16,408
and we cannot find the clothes.

566
00:24:16,456 --> 00:24:18,448
- There's no makeup.
- You know what?

567
00:24:18,497 --> 00:24:20,495
I'm not the one that you should
be interrogating, Captain.

568
00:24:20,543 --> 00:24:22,372
Not when my son's killer
is sitting in the other room.

569
00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:23,843
Did you...

570
00:24:23,891 --> 00:24:25,610
Did you swab this guy?

571
00:24:25,801 --> 00:24:28,095
He has to have scratches, cuts.

572
00:24:28,144 --> 00:24:30,092
My son didn't take this lying down.

573
00:24:30,141 --> 00:24:31,345
Because you taught him to be tough?

574
00:24:31,394 --> 00:24:32,931
Yeah, he would have fought like a man!

575
00:24:33,098 --> 00:24:36,720
The ME didn't find anything
under his fingernails.

576
00:24:36,768 --> 00:24:39,069
In fact, there were hardly
any fingernails at all.

577
00:24:39,142 --> 00:24:41,233
There is definitely
something else out there,

578
00:24:41,282 --> 00:24:43,047
something that you have missed.

579
00:24:43,358 --> 00:24:46,021
There's no way, that this guy
did what he did to my son,

580
00:24:46,070 --> 00:24:47,788
without leaving more of a trace.

581
00:24:47,837 --> 00:24:49,743
You have to go back, right?

582
00:24:49,808 --> 00:24:51,565
Start your investigation
from square one,

583
00:24:51,614 --> 00:24:53,070
or I promise you you're
gonna be standing in front

584
00:24:53,118 --> 00:24:55,024
of a firing squad at CompStat

585
00:24:55,072 --> 00:24:57,699
wondering why you didn't
do this right in the first place.

586
00:25:13,579 --> 00:25:17,129
The victim, Cora Jones,
was injured, and traumatized.

587
00:25:17,192 --> 00:25:19,388
She told responding officers that

588
00:25:19,436 --> 00:25:22,014
Lukas Peeters had tried to kill her.

589
00:25:22,097 --> 00:25:24,733
And you found evidence
that supports her statement?

590
00:25:24,814 --> 00:25:27,479
She was covered in bite marks, bruises,

591
00:25:27,527 --> 00:25:30,857
subdural hematoma from
being clubbed with a bottle.

592
00:25:30,905 --> 00:25:34,069
We later learned that
she was forcibly penetrated

593
00:25:34,117 --> 00:25:35,779
with that same implement.

594
00:25:35,940 --> 00:25:37,685
How did you identify a suspect?

595
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:39,157
Well, Cora had maced her attacker,

596
00:25:39,205 --> 00:25:41,176
and he tried to flee,

597
00:25:41,224 --> 00:25:42,910
but, fell down a fire escape.

598
00:25:42,959 --> 00:25:44,830
Detectives tracked him down
to a local bodega

599
00:25:44,878 --> 00:25:46,873
where he was hiding in a basement.

600
00:25:47,006 --> 00:25:49,126
And Ms. Jones
identified herself to you

601
00:25:49,174 --> 00:25:50,794
as a trans woman, correct?

602
00:25:50,842 --> 00:25:52,004
Yes.

603
00:25:52,052 --> 00:25:54,798
And in your experience
as an SVU detective,

604
00:25:55,103 --> 00:25:56,925
do you believe that she was targeted

605
00:25:56,973 --> 00:25:59,448
- because of how she identifies?
- Objection.

606
00:25:59,497 --> 00:26:01,638
My client is not being charged
with a hate crime.

607
00:26:01,686 --> 00:26:03,932
A little latitude, Your Honor?

608
00:26:04,081 --> 00:26:05,892
I'll allow this line of questioning,

609
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:07,602
but move it along.

610
00:26:07,857 --> 00:26:09,585
Witness may answer.

611
00:26:10,278 --> 00:26:13,608
Actual numbers are underreported.

612
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,071
Transgender people,
they're a targeted community.

613
00:26:18,373 --> 00:26:23,409
They more often experience
rape, sexual assault, murder.

614
00:26:23,458 --> 00:26:25,233
And who usually commits these crimes?

615
00:26:25,282 --> 00:26:27,066
It's often an intimate partner,

616
00:26:27,115 --> 00:26:29,791
but it can be a stranger
who initiates sexual contact

617
00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:32,961
and then changes their mind
and reacts violently.

618
00:26:33,069 --> 00:26:34,755
And in your experience,

619
00:26:34,804 --> 00:26:36,838
why would somebody react this way?

620
00:26:37,552 --> 00:26:40,552
People like to put things
in neat little boxes,

621
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,506
and gender identity,

622
00:26:42,899 --> 00:26:44,473
just doesn't work that way.

623
00:26:44,521 --> 00:26:47,918
It is a deeply felt,
individual experience

624
00:26:48,006 --> 00:26:50,937
that doesn't always correspond
to the sex given at birth.

625
00:26:50,985 --> 00:26:54,215
And this seeming contradiction, it...

626
00:26:54,589 --> 00:26:58,111
Well, it can lead to explosive
reactions in some perpetrators.

627
00:26:58,245 --> 00:27:00,908
Was this the case with Lukas Peeters?

628
00:27:01,015 --> 00:27:03,979
Lukas Peeters purposely sought out Cora,

629
00:27:04,028 --> 00:27:06,328
because she was a trans woman.

630
00:27:06,376 --> 00:27:08,413
And again, in your experience,

631
00:27:08,461 --> 00:27:09,768
why would he do that?

632
00:27:09,847 --> 00:27:11,245
Well, in my estimation,

633
00:27:11,293 --> 00:27:13,875
the rage exhibited in this attack is...

634
00:27:14,217 --> 00:27:17,130
It's a peculiar form
of projection of his anger

635
00:27:17,178 --> 00:27:19,716
about his own desires, which...

636
00:27:19,965 --> 00:27:22,511
Which were in conflict
with who he believes

637
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:25,045
he should be sexually attracted to.

638
00:27:26,075 --> 00:27:27,452
Thank you.

639
00:27:29,941 --> 00:27:34,344
Is there a simpler explanation,
for all this, Detective?

640
00:27:34,529 --> 00:27:37,109
Such as consensual rough sex,
for example?

641
00:27:37,157 --> 00:27:39,131
No, not in my opinion.

642
00:27:39,180 --> 00:27:40,905
The bite marks, the wine bottle.

643
00:27:41,011 --> 00:27:43,729
The initials CNC come to mind,

644
00:27:43,778 --> 00:27:45,242
consensual nonconsensual.

645
00:27:45,290 --> 00:27:47,035
- You've heard of it?
- Yes.

646
00:27:47,115 --> 00:27:51,983
And you're saying
it's impossible in this case?

647
00:27:52,064 --> 00:27:53,148
Um.

648
00:27:53,197 --> 00:27:55,489
You recently gave a lecture
at Fordham University

649
00:27:55,538 --> 00:27:57,838
where you said, and I quote,

650
00:27:57,886 --> 00:28:00,465
"Human sexuality is strange,"

651
00:28:00,605 --> 00:28:02,142
did you not?

652
00:28:02,557 --> 00:28:05,262
- Yes, and later in that...
- Thank you.

653
00:28:06,019 --> 00:28:07,350
Nothing further.

654
00:28:10,686 --> 00:28:12,769
Lukas Peeters attacked me.

655
00:28:13,021 --> 00:28:15,083
Pinned me against the wall,

656
00:28:15,982 --> 00:28:17,848
ripped my clothes off,

657
00:28:18,114 --> 00:28:19,874
started biting me.

658
00:28:20,804 --> 00:28:22,592
Then he raped me with a bottle.

659
00:28:22,694 --> 00:28:23,971
And what did you do?

660
00:28:24,082 --> 00:28:25,741
I pretended to go along.

661
00:28:25,853 --> 00:28:28,123
Did you mean that
as some form of consent?

662
00:28:28,198 --> 00:28:29,845
Consensual nonconsensual?

663
00:28:29,911 --> 00:28:31,487
Absolutely not.

664
00:28:32,178 --> 00:28:33,325
I did it,

665
00:28:33,373 --> 00:28:34,984
so I could grab my mace,

666
00:28:35,188 --> 00:28:37,223
as a way to survive.

667
00:28:37,345 --> 00:28:39,730
Otherwise,
I knew he would have killed me.

668
00:28:40,095 --> 00:28:41,214
Thank you.

669
00:28:41,315 --> 00:28:42,817
No further questions.

670
00:28:44,849 --> 00:28:50,474
Isn't it true you told
my client you like it rough?

671
00:28:50,715 --> 00:28:53,185
There's rough,
and then there's assault.

672
00:28:53,392 --> 00:28:55,179
Lukas assaulted me.

673
00:28:55,274 --> 00:28:57,109
Did you ever tell him to stop?

674
00:28:59,364 --> 00:29:00,820
I wanted him to.

675
00:29:00,893 --> 00:29:04,827
Did you say the word stop?

676
00:29:05,495 --> 00:29:07,282
I don't recall.

677
00:29:07,330 --> 00:29:09,489
The night is fuzzy.

678
00:29:09,615 --> 00:29:10,944
He hit me on the head with a bottle.

679
00:29:10,993 --> 00:29:12,327
How about the word no?

680
00:29:15,714 --> 00:29:17,445
I was in shock.

681
00:29:17,674 --> 00:29:19,169
It happened so fast.

682
00:29:19,491 --> 00:29:22,698
Never said stop or no.

683
00:29:23,054 --> 00:29:26,218
Is it possible my client took
the omission of those words

684
00:29:26,266 --> 00:29:27,636
as tacit consent?

685
00:29:27,684 --> 00:29:28,971
He had me pinned down.

686
00:29:29,020 --> 00:29:31,080
I was trying to defend myself.

687
00:29:31,129 --> 00:29:32,533
Correct me if I'm wrong, but,

688
00:29:33,430 --> 00:29:35,775
weren't you on the
wrestling team in college?

689
00:29:38,862 --> 00:29:42,359
Yes, but that was in my former life.

690
00:29:42,562 --> 00:29:44,069
Just curious,

691
00:29:44,376 --> 00:29:47,489
did you identify as a man in college?

692
00:29:54,336 --> 00:29:55,663
Yes.

693
00:29:56,171 --> 00:29:57,776
And why wrestling?

694
00:29:59,007 --> 00:30:00,763
I was jumped,

695
00:30:01,575 --> 00:30:03,266
outside of a local bar,

696
00:30:03,428 --> 00:30:05,102
in the town I grew up in.

697
00:30:05,162 --> 00:30:06,633
And where was that?

698
00:30:06,681 --> 00:30:08,343
Muscatine, Iowa.

699
00:30:08,616 --> 00:30:10,472
A small factory town.

700
00:30:12,173 --> 00:30:14,352
It must have been hard
growing up there?

701
00:30:14,606 --> 00:30:16,701
Well, it wasn't the friendliest place.

702
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,527
Still, it's fair to say,

703
00:30:20,737 --> 00:30:22,763
you know how to defend yourself?

704
00:30:22,812 --> 00:30:24,435
It's been a long time,

705
00:30:24,483 --> 00:30:26,528
and I'm no longer that person.

706
00:30:26,576 --> 00:30:29,656
But, you remember the techniques.

707
00:30:29,886 --> 00:30:31,639
How to throw someone,

708
00:30:31,687 --> 00:30:34,575
how to shift your weight,
how to catch them off guard.

709
00:30:34,624 --> 00:30:37,205
My physicality
is completely different now.

710
00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:39,890
Or, maybe there's another answer.

711
00:30:40,033 --> 00:30:41,627
That you enjoyed being overpowered,

712
00:30:41,675 --> 00:30:43,462
and you didn't want it to stop.

713
00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:45,380
- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

714
00:30:59,744 --> 00:31:00,948
Cora...

715
00:31:00,996 --> 00:31:02,820
- You okay?
- I'm sorry.

716
00:31:02,868 --> 00:31:03,938
No.

717
00:31:03,987 --> 00:31:07,235
No, you have nothing,
nothing to apologize for.

718
00:31:07,283 --> 00:31:08,684
For what it's worth,

719
00:31:08,732 --> 00:31:10,781
that lawyer's strategy,
going after you like that,

720
00:31:10,829 --> 00:31:12,403
didn't score any points with the jury.

721
00:31:12,492 --> 00:31:14,021
What about when Lukas takes the stand?

722
00:31:14,070 --> 00:31:16,411
You don't have to watch his testimony.

723
00:31:16,659 --> 00:31:19,623
I thought I was an expert
at seeing people like that,

724
00:31:19,671 --> 00:31:21,208
that it would keep me safe.

725
00:31:21,256 --> 00:31:24,419
You became an expert
in human behavior because...

726
00:31:24,609 --> 00:31:25,838
Because you had to.

727
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,006
I hate that I was wrong about Lukas.

728
00:31:28,087 --> 00:31:30,363
- You couldn't have known.
- Then how will the jury?

729
00:31:31,141 --> 00:31:33,309
Could you excuse me for a moment?

730
00:31:38,895 --> 00:31:40,161
You're a saint.

731
00:31:40,210 --> 00:31:42,187
I've no idea how you work
these kinds of cases every day.

732
00:31:42,235 --> 00:31:44,314
Well, somebody has to.

733
00:31:44,362 --> 00:31:45,745
This poor kid.

734
00:31:46,025 --> 00:31:47,776
I mean, where the hell
were her parents?

735
00:31:47,824 --> 00:31:49,111
If my Aidan was in that witness box,

736
00:31:49,159 --> 00:31:50,988
I would have been there
every step of the way.

737
00:31:51,036 --> 00:31:52,787
Cora didn't have that luxury,

738
00:31:52,996 --> 00:31:56,244
because her parents, never accepted her.

739
00:31:56,833 --> 00:31:58,453
She left home when she was a teenager.

740
00:31:58,501 --> 00:32:00,289
I just hate the fact that she
was even attacked like that.

741
00:32:00,337 --> 00:32:03,083
The world is a messed-up place.

742
00:32:03,131 --> 00:32:04,532
Yeah.

743
00:32:04,966 --> 00:32:07,310
But at least there's people like you,

744
00:32:07,517 --> 00:32:08,915
out there.

745
00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:10,622
Like me?

746
00:32:10,805 --> 00:32:12,290
Somebody who makes a mistake,

747
00:32:12,338 --> 00:32:16,412
but ultimately, does the right thing.

748
00:32:17,187 --> 00:32:18,460
I'm sorry, are you trying
to say something...

749
00:32:18,509 --> 00:32:19,744
I am.

750
00:32:21,358 --> 00:32:23,979
You know, Mack, everyone has said to me,

751
00:32:24,249 --> 00:32:26,021
that you're a good man...

752
00:32:27,977 --> 00:32:30,021
But we both know what you did.

753
00:32:31,826 --> 00:32:36,393
And quite frankly,
I understand the impulse.

754
00:32:43,518 --> 00:32:49,386
But placing a towel over your child...

755
00:32:51,661 --> 00:32:53,739
Wasn't the only thing

756
00:32:54,432 --> 00:32:55,975
that you did, was it?

757
00:32:58,186 --> 00:32:59,591
Was it?

758
00:33:02,426 --> 00:33:05,186
I didn't want all the cops, the techs,

759
00:33:05,390 --> 00:33:06,980
everybody crawling all over that place

760
00:33:07,028 --> 00:33:08,703
investigating his murder,

761
00:33:08,751 --> 00:33:11,026
to see him like that.

762
00:33:11,213 --> 00:33:13,654
Commenting on him, laughing at my son.

763
00:33:13,702 --> 00:33:16,255
So you took off her nails...

764
00:33:18,145 --> 00:33:20,229
You wiped off her makeup...

765
00:33:21,331 --> 00:33:22,784
And you hid her clothes.

766
00:33:22,918 --> 00:33:24,065
I...

767
00:33:25,755 --> 00:33:27,640
What the hell did I do?

768
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:30,348
I chose shame.

769
00:33:30,397 --> 00:33:33,769
Over justice for your child.

770
00:33:35,603 --> 00:33:37,932
If I'd just left everything
the way it was,

771
00:33:38,049 --> 00:33:40,305
everything at the crime scene,

772
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:42,520
maybe Cora wouldn't have been attacked.

773
00:33:43,581 --> 00:33:45,327
You know, Cora...

774
00:33:46,026 --> 00:33:47,581
Cora needed a father.

775
00:33:47,630 --> 00:33:49,106
She needed somebody who accepted her,
who,

776
00:33:51,984 --> 00:33:53,681
who was there for her.

777
00:33:54,951 --> 00:33:57,799
You can still be there for Aida.

778
00:33:59,809 --> 00:34:04,438
That's the name that your
daughter chose for herself.

779
00:34:06,667 --> 00:34:09,099
I guess I wasn't really listening.

780
00:34:13,090 --> 00:34:15,273
I'm not a good person.

781
00:34:15,722 --> 00:34:17,384
You can be a better one.

782
00:34:30,014 --> 00:34:33,994
So this is what Aida was wearing
the night of her murder?

783
00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:37,188
Yeah, that's everything,
everything I...

784
00:34:37,535 --> 00:34:38,655
I hid.

785
00:34:38,703 --> 00:34:41,689
The clothes Aida was attacked in.

786
00:34:41,972 --> 00:34:44,183
We'll comb them for DNA.

787
00:34:53,221 --> 00:34:57,116
Mack, if you're really serious,

788
00:34:57,657 --> 00:34:59,611
about Lukas Peeters going away,

789
00:34:59,660 --> 00:35:03,263
then, Carisi will indict him on murder.

790
00:35:03,534 --> 00:35:05,404
That means that you're
gonna have to testify,

791
00:35:05,452 --> 00:35:06,975
in front of the grand jury.

792
00:35:07,436 --> 00:35:09,152
Are you okay with that?

793
00:35:10,096 --> 00:35:12,500
- I am.
- And you understand,

794
00:35:12,882 --> 00:35:15,496
that, that means
that you need to confess

795
00:35:15,545 --> 00:35:17,395
for tampering with the crime scene?

796
00:35:17,444 --> 00:35:19,577
- I know.
- That's a felony.

797
00:35:19,711 --> 00:35:21,356
I know.

798
00:35:26,793 --> 00:35:29,286
Well, then if I were you, I...

799
00:35:30,799 --> 00:35:32,876
I would talk to my union delegate,

800
00:35:32,924 --> 00:35:34,631
and I would hire...

801
00:35:35,635 --> 00:35:37,392
I'd hire a good lawyer.

802
00:35:37,721 --> 00:35:39,506
Whatever it takes to make this right.

803
00:35:39,605 --> 00:35:42,032
Even if it means
you'll lose your badge?

804
00:35:49,107 --> 00:35:52,521
It was quiet, when I got
to Aida's apartment.

805
00:35:52,882 --> 00:35:55,203
She, uh... she didn't answer the door.

806
00:35:55,687 --> 00:35:58,723
So I looked in the window,
and that's when I saw the...

807
00:35:59,589 --> 00:36:01,515
Saw legs on the floor.

808
00:36:02,370 --> 00:36:06,781
And, I immediately got a bad feeling.

809
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,015
What did you do next?

810
00:36:09,669 --> 00:36:11,942
I kicked in the door
to get to my daughter.

811
00:36:12,336 --> 00:36:15,214
Can you describe how you found her?

812
00:36:21,014 --> 00:36:24,059
Eyes shut, splayed out.

813
00:36:26,811 --> 00:36:30,632
She had bruises and bite marks.

814
00:36:31,775 --> 00:36:33,505
There was blood everywhere.

815
00:36:35,573 --> 00:36:37,420
I moved her body...

816
00:36:39,922 --> 00:36:43,113
To put her to bed one last time.

817
00:36:43,401 --> 00:36:44,861
What was she wearing?

818
00:36:48,124 --> 00:36:50,120
Jeans, a blouse,

819
00:36:50,364 --> 00:36:52,841
red, high-heeled shoes.

820
00:36:54,311 --> 00:36:56,128
She had makeup on her face.

821
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,448
She had those fake nails,

822
00:37:00,595 --> 00:37:03,139
which I removed.

823
00:37:07,143 --> 00:37:09,139
I was acting on instinct.

824
00:37:09,366 --> 00:37:12,870
A big part of me knew what
I was doing was wrong, but...

825
00:37:14,401 --> 00:37:17,838
I'm also very aware of what
it's like at a crime scene.

826
00:37:18,405 --> 00:37:21,307
You know, you got photographs
and detailed reports,

827
00:37:22,422 --> 00:37:23,759
and...

828
00:37:25,912 --> 00:37:27,580
And what?

829
00:37:30,974 --> 00:37:32,470
And as was stated earlier,

830
00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:35,564
my daughter, identified as a woman.

831
00:37:37,841 --> 00:37:39,217
I didn't accept that.

832
00:37:41,094 --> 00:37:43,093
I wasn't enough of a man,

833
00:37:43,369 --> 00:37:45,032
to accept that.

834
00:37:45,689 --> 00:37:47,582
And I'm ashamed of it now,

835
00:37:48,195 --> 00:37:50,963
but I was too embarrassed
to let the cops...

836
00:37:51,229 --> 00:37:53,454
The very men that I work with...

837
00:37:54,669 --> 00:37:56,540
See her like that.

838
00:37:56,973 --> 00:37:59,819
What did you do with Aida's effects?

839
00:38:00,155 --> 00:38:02,578
I put them in two garbage bags,
and, uh...

840
00:38:03,070 --> 00:38:05,862
Hid them in the boat in my garage.

841
00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:07,654
Why'd you hold on to them?

842
00:38:08,538 --> 00:38:09,825
Because they were the last things

843
00:38:09,873 --> 00:38:11,686
I had to remember my child.

844
00:38:21,589 --> 00:38:24,409
The grand jury handed down
an indictment for murder one,

845
00:38:24,458 --> 00:38:26,383
thanks to Detective McDaniels'
testimony

846
00:38:26,431 --> 00:38:29,568
and confirmation of Lukas's
DNA on Aida's clothing.

847
00:38:29,617 --> 00:38:31,403
And when you told Lukas and his lawyer?

848
00:38:31,452 --> 00:38:33,142
Oh, they folded like origami.

849
00:38:33,191 --> 00:38:35,726
15 years for man one,
10 years on Cora's charges.

850
00:38:35,774 --> 00:38:37,439
And we also heard from Interpol.

851
00:38:37,513 --> 00:38:39,143
Any DNA hits in Belgium?

852
00:38:39,192 --> 00:38:41,143
Eight other rape victims in Germany.

853
00:38:41,192 --> 00:38:43,905
He was a project manager
for a building there last year.

854
00:38:43,984 --> 00:38:45,527
And the DA's office will cooperate

855
00:38:45,575 --> 00:38:47,509
with the German police on those cases,

856
00:38:47,558 --> 00:38:49,894
but only after Lukas
serves his sentence here.

857
00:38:58,299 --> 00:39:00,660
Muncy, let me ask you question.

858
00:39:00,804 --> 00:39:02,360
You want a bite of my Hawaiian pizza?

859
00:39:02,409 --> 00:39:04,353
No, thank you.

860
00:39:04,805 --> 00:39:07,215
It's about that Belgian guy
in the bodega cellar.

861
00:39:07,405 --> 00:39:08,844
Yeah, what about him?

862
00:39:09,349 --> 00:39:11,074
How long did you actually wait,

863
00:39:11,123 --> 00:39:14,264
before you went down those stairs
after I told you don't go?

864
00:39:14,365 --> 00:39:16,861
Honestly, Sarge, I was already
halfway down the steps.

865
00:39:16,946 --> 00:39:18,560
What the hell is wrong with you?

866
00:39:18,794 --> 00:39:20,373
You know you could have
got killed, right?

867
00:39:20,435 --> 00:39:21,853
Yeah, but I wasn't.

868
00:39:24,573 --> 00:39:26,235
But I hear you.

869
00:39:26,284 --> 00:39:27,849
I wasn't thinking.
It's just,

870
00:39:28,007 --> 00:39:29,695
sometimes people piss me off.

871
00:39:29,771 --> 00:39:31,324
Yeah, I get what you mean.

872
00:39:31,454 --> 00:39:32,866
But you do something like that again,

873
00:39:32,914 --> 00:39:34,532
I'm gonna have to tell Benson.

874
00:39:36,376 --> 00:39:38,288
And one more thing,

875
00:39:38,469 --> 00:39:40,600
I don't know how you do it in Queens,

876
00:39:41,166 --> 00:39:43,204
but people up in Harlem,

877
00:39:43,312 --> 00:39:46,096
we don't put fruit on our pizza.

878
00:39:56,584 --> 00:40:01,537
So the loss of a child is not
something you can prepare for.

879
00:40:03,486 --> 00:40:06,829
Aida had dreams,

880
00:40:06,877 --> 00:40:09,758
and a lot of plans for the future.

881
00:40:09,807 --> 00:40:11,244
Plans that, um...

882
00:40:16,304 --> 00:40:18,925
She didn't share with me because,

883
00:40:19,186 --> 00:40:21,736
she didn't feel like
I would accept her.

884
00:40:25,216 --> 00:40:28,964
And that is my loss, because...

885
00:40:30,258 --> 00:40:32,379
Because I never got to meet her.

886
00:40:36,698 --> 00:40:38,229
But I loved her.

887
00:40:41,608 --> 00:40:43,180
To Aida.

888
00:40:43,830 --> 00:40:44,987
To Aida.

889
00:40:45,236 --> 00:40:46,690
To Aida.

890
00:40:46,957 --> 00:40:48,441
Aida.

891
00:40:49,074 --> 00:40:50,497
You think they have a shot?

892
00:40:50,587 --> 00:40:52,522
Now that they both love the same child?

893
00:40:52,571 --> 00:40:54,913
Yeah, maybe.

894
00:40:57,916 --> 00:40:59,161
