(male announcer)
In the criminal justice system,

sexually-based offenses

are considered
especially heinous.

In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

who investigate
these vicious felonies

are members of an elite squad

known as
the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

Multiple stab wounds.
Neck snapped.

Pervert's at it again.

[sirens]

It's about time
the canine unit got here.

Detectives,
got another Jane Doe.

Same M.O.
as the others.

Judging from rigor,
been dead maybe 20 minutes.

Killer could be
one of the looky-loos.

Perp gets off watching us
clean up his mess.

Go get him, Angus.

Come on, find the scent.

Hey, bloody corpse over here.

Stupid mutt can't even
hit his mark.

Cut!

Reset!

Tony, find what's-his-name,
the trainer.

His dog just
ruined my shot.

I need a 20
on the dog wrangler.

What's up with this dog?

[barking]
Where the hell's he goin'?

Hey c'mon, get outta here.

What are you
howling at, boy? Get away.

Jessie?

Jess, you okay?

Jessie!

Jessie!

Franco Marquez,

executive producer
of Girl, Undercover.

That's Jessie.
She's my star.

What happened?

Looks like the perp
bashed her head

into the kitchenette
and raped her.

(Fin)
She gonna be okay?

Pupils are reactive.

She's responding
to painful stimuli,

but the ER
will have to scan her.

What just happened?

(Marquez)
I found her lying
right here on the floor.

Who has access
to Jessie's trailer?

Just the crew.

Security has strict orders.

No one's allowed on the set
unless they work for me.

Anyone on the crew
have a problem with Jessie?

No, we've been together
for three seasons.

I know it sounds cornball,
but we're like family.

(Fin)
What's all this?

Jessie the Slut?
Teen Tramp?

Rag magazines.

They have a field day

any time that Jessie
wears something slinky.

She ain't wearing
much of anything here.

"Jezebel Jessie"?

It's just words.

Sticks and stones, right?

(Stabler)
"The world will be
a better place

once we're rid
of Jessie Dawning."

Sticks and stones, huh?

Tox screen found enough
opiates in her system

to knock out Lennox Lewis.

Any chance she took
those pills herself?

Well, she didn't
give herself the contusion.

Okay, so he drugs her,

maybe she starts
to come to,

then he puts her down
for the count.

(Jessie)
I don't want to talk to them!

Started yelling
the minute she woke up.

For a second there,

I thought her head
was gonna start spinning.

Why are you doing this to me?

I don't know!

Ms. Dawning.
Detective Stabler--

I don't remember
anything, okay?

I went to take a nap
in my trailer,

next thing I know,
I wake up here.

You have anything to drink
before you fell asleep?

Just a diet soda
with lemon on the set.

Who gave it to you?

I don't know.

It was just by my chair.

Where the hell
are my shoes?!

Jess, listen,

you have to talk
to the police.

I've gotta go.

We have, like, no time before
the entire world finds out.

Please, I just
want to go home.

Now, she's 16 years old.

She can't sign herself
out of a hospital

without her parents'
consent.

They're in California.

Jessie was emancipated
when she was 14,

so they could stop
blowing through her money.

She doesn't need
their permission.

Where were you
when Jessie was raped?

I know how this works.
I write this for a living.

I'll give you
a DNA sample,

and so will everyone else
on the crew.

You write this for a living,
you should know

that you can't
compel them to do that.

They're like
her big brothers.

Last week, a couple of nut bags
egged Jessie's trailer.

The grips were on them
like the Secret Service.

Who were
these nut bags?

Carolyn Spencer
and her anti-smut brigade.

They're always
picketing our set.

What do they have
against your show?

They think that Jessie

is corrupting the morals
of our youth.

You know that quote
about getting rid of Jessie?

Spencer's the one
who said it.

The world will be
a better place

once we're rid
of Jessie Dawning?

Did you say that,
Mrs. Spencer?

I didn't mean it
literally.

So how did you
mean it?

Just that I wish
my daughter

had better role models
than Jessie Dawning.

Jim, where's that one
of her in her underwear?

This is what
young girls aspire to today.

Not this--this is what
they'd kill to be.

A half-naked size two.

Mom, we're running late.

I don't think
we're gonna make the bus.

Danny, I'm busy today.

I can't drive you.

Dad would.

Well, then,
go live with him.

I can take them.

School's on my way
to work, anyway.

Thank you,
Mr. Willoughby.

I don't see what makes Jessie
such a bad role model.

She's young, successful.
What's wrong with that?

Look at this.

16-year-old
done up like a hooker.

We don't want that
marketed to fifth graders.

Let the network
move the show to 10:00,

I'll shut up.

People think they can't
do anything about this trash.

I'm proof that one person
can make a difference.

Last season, the FCC
fined the network twice

just for content.

They listen
to my group now.

Were you
and your group

picketing Jessie's set
yesterday?

Yeah, 'til about 3:30.

Why are you asking?

Did something
happen to Jessie?

Is she okay?
She's fine.

We just need to know which
of your members were there.

I'll get you
my membership list.

Neighbors Investing

in Clean Entertainment.

Well, they've got
over 800 members.

Its stated mission
is to protect the children.

In their newsletter
it says,

"A 12-year-old girl
was raped in California,

walking home
in leather bra and panties."

It was her
Halloween costume.

She was dressed up
as Girl, Undercover.

This website has got
over 100,000 hits.

It's not just about Jessie.

There's a list
of dirty movies,

music, radio shows.

"Click here
to complain

"to the FCC.

"Click here to learn
which corporate sponsors

to boycott."

Click here so your children
will never again be exposed

to the mind-warping trauma
of a nipple on television.

Olivia, the Extradition Express
leaves in half an hour.

You miss that plane,
you're gonna be on the red-eye.

I'm out.

Okay, what are the chances

that a member
of this NICE group

had anything to do
with Jessie's rape?

Looks like all they do

is write letters
and picket.

Crime scene report
from Jessie's trailer.

CSU lifted her prints
off the soda she was drinking

before the rape.

It wasn't spiked.

They found these--

a dozen different pain killers
and sleeping pills.

Oxycontin, Vicodin,
Percocet.

All these were refilled
the day of the rape.

(Stabler)
You knew Jessie
was taking pills.

Why did you lie?

Well...it's been
a tough season.

How Jessie gets through it
is between her and her doctor.

Jessie goes undercover
as a stripper...

as a lifeguard,
as a lingerie model.

You know, maybe the kid
wouldn't have such a hard time

if you didn't make her
run around

half-naked every week.
You know--

Oh...

There's my star.

Shouldn't you be home
taking it easy?

I didn't feel like
being alone.

Can I just sack out
on your couch?

Well, they're just giving me
a lack-of-progress report.

Give me two minutes.

We've been through enough.

I don't need you bitching
about how Jessie

is playing
inappropriate material.

Look, pal, basically,
you got her stripping for money.

And sleeping with
the teacher?

It's called drama.

It's called
pimping out a 16-year-old

to jack up your ratings.

The average girl
loses her virginity by 16.

Now, what's the responsible
thing to do?

Pretend it doesn't happen?

Or show a girl
in charge of her sexuality?

A 16-year-old girl

may be having sex,

but she ain't
in charge of squat.

You don't know Jessie.

You wanna see
how in-charge she is?

Watch the show.

And then do your job,

and go find the son-of-a-bitch
that raped her!

(TV announcer)
She may look like
the girl next door.

but this is no ordinary girl.

She's smokin' hot.

But she's just 16.

You can look,

but you better not touch.

This girl has a badge

and a black belt.

Redlight to central,
we have a problem.

I broke another heel.

(announcer)
Jessie Dawning is:

16-hour days
pretending to be a hooker,

and the other eight
pretending to be a grown-up.

No wonder the kid
knocks herself out with pills.

No parents, no friends.

Everyone from her doctor
to her boss

lined up to get something
out of her.

68 DNA tests--every man
on the Girl, Undercover crew.

No matches to the fluids
found inside Jessie,

but I got a cold case hit
off the DNA.

One of the crew members,
wanted for grand larceny

and aggravated assault.

Franco Marquez.

No way!
I didn't do it!

Well, DNA
puts you at the scene.

It's--it's not my DNA.

Whose is it?

This out-of-work
actor that I know.

I paid him
for his sample.

I gave him a studio ID badge
with my name on it,

and drove him
to the ME's office.

I wonder why you'd
fake your DNA.

I want to make
my phone call now.

(Cragen)
I'm sorry about this,
but the law says

we can't keep him from
calling anybody he wants,

even his victim.

(Stabler)
We'll make sure he doesn't
bother you anymore.

What did he tell you?

He clammed up
pretty quickly,

but, uh, he's in trouble.

He's just trying
to protect me.

He knows it'll kill my image
if he tells the truth.

The truth about what?

Lucky for me my folks'll
do anything for a buck.

A marriage license.

Signed by Mom and Dad.

Cost me a couple
of Porsches.

I figure it's a small
price to pay

to sleep with my husband.

Marquez is 40.
Jessie is 16.

It's legal pedophilia.

So she had
consensual sex.

She took a fistful
of knockout pills,

fell, and hit her head.

But the ME report
says Marquez

isn't the only one
who had sex with Jessie.

The rape kit turned up
a pubic hair.

DNA doesn't match Jessie,
Marquez,

or anybody on the crew.

We're gonna base
a whole rape investigation

on a single pube?

We don't even know
if she was raped here.

It's the best evidence we got
so we're gonna run with it.

She could have
picked up that hair

during one of her
costume changes.

I don't think they
change their panties, Elliot.

We gotta find out who else
was on the set that day.

Bunch of paparazzis.

Couple of tabloids today
have pictures of Jessie

being taken away
in an ambulance.

Third one went
a little bit further.

What kind
of bottom feeder

sneaks into
a girl's hospital room

and takes her picture?

Same kind that sneaks
into her trailer and rapes her.

I'll get a subpoena for
the hospital security cameras.

You two talk to Marquez
and Jessie.

See if they saw anybody
hanging around

outside her room.

I spent the whole night
by Jessie's bed.

I didn't see anyone
but doctors and nurses.

Here's the ledger
photograph.

Now,
the hospital monitor

says the photo
was taken at 5:08.

Your chair is empty.

Why would he
take the stupid picture?

I went to get some coffee
around 5:00.

He must have
taken it then.

These photos were taken
right outside Jessie's set.

You know by who?

Probably the same losers

who are camping outside
of our house right now.

You know
any of their names?

There's, like,
a million of them.

I can't sneeze,

it doesn't
end up in the tabloids.

Jessie walks her dogs,
Jessie buys a tampon.

It's three years now
they've been stalking her.

Couple of weeks ago, I go to
pick my car up from the valet,

and this guy
just jumps in.

I think
he's a carjacker.

All he does

is take
my picture and run off.

What did he look like?

He looked like a big flash
going off in my face.

(Fin)
You tell the police?

Yeah, they wrote down
a bunch of crap

and then asked
for my autograph.

[cell phone rings]

The cops said
there wasn't much

you can do about
invasion of privacy.

It would have been
a different story

if he would have
touched her.

Guess it's a different story
now, huh?

(Fin)
All right, thanks
for the information.

Captain checked out
the surveillance tape

from the hospital.

Guess who checked in
on Jessie at 5:08.

You violated
a patient's privacy.

I was pre-rounding.

I checked her IV
and her vitals,

and then I moved on
to my other patients.

You were the only one
in Jessie's room

when this picture
was taken.

You know the trouble
I'd get in for that?

I'd lose my job,
probably my license.

Why would I risk it?

People do a lot
of stupid things for money.

What'd they pay you?
20 grand, 30?

No.

We got you on
the security camera.

I owe $90,000
in student loans.

This photographer
offered me 50.

Look, if you don't
want your picture taken,

be a school teacher, not some
international superstar.

You have no right
questioning me.

We're not done here.
Just relax, okay?

Where were you
Tuesday afternoon...

Say about 4:30?

I don't get off
on raping 16-year-olds, okay?

Prove it to us.

I was trying to get
a shot of Jessie.

On the set.
I'll show you.

Okay.

All my photos
are time stamped.

Not that I got anything.

She is pretty good
at dodging us.

Maybe if you stopped
stalking her,

she wouldn't have to run.

She needs us
as much as we need her!

I'll tell you something,
the minute someone

stops taking your picture,

that's the minute
you become a has-been.

Here ya go, right here,
all right?

4:28.
I was outside the set.

Who are these guys?

Couple of morons.

Security caught them
sneaking on set.

What about this guy,
with his back turned to us?

I don't know.

Maybe the third moron
got in.

All we wanted was a pair
of Jessie's panties.

It was just a prank.

Security says
you told them

it was to get on
the BJ Cameron radio show.

Yeah, BJ wants to know

if she wears a thong
in real life

like she does
on the show.

And if you can prove
that they're her panties,

he'll put you on the air.

That's what shock jocks
are up to these days, huh?

They tell their listeners
to steal an actress' panties?

BJ's pretty wild.

You should check out
the show sometime.

I like my comedy
funny.

There was a third kid
with you.

Where is he?

No clue.

We met him there that day,
hanging out.

Told him about the panty raid,
said he wanted in.

Then he wienered out
at the last minute.

Waits for us
to get busted,

and then sneaks past
while security's distracted.

Ass clown.

You remember his name
or what he was wearing?

He said his name
was Speed,

like that's not made up.

He looked like
a regular kid.

Kind of full of himself,
though.

Kept bragging that if
he didn't get Jessie's panties,

that he was gonna
take a picture of her trailer

to get on BJ's show.

It's all talk.

I don't tell them
to actually do anything.

No, of course not,

then you'd be liable
for their actions.

Well, legally,
I could do a whole lot more.

But with Big Brother
all up in my business,

I don't wanna get fined.

Did you suggest
that your fans rape Jessie?

Rape ain't funny.

The panty thing I said
to piss off the uptight bitch.

She's 16 years old.

Why are you trying
to piss off a kid?

She comes on my show,

only wants to talk
about her craft,

like I could give
a rat's ass.

I say let's hear
about your titty job.

She walks off
mid-interview,

I have to fill up
the rest of the hour

with a call-in show.

About Jessie
the uptight bitch.

Yeah, callers were
totally pissed off at her.

I said she needed
a good banging

to loosen her up.

That sounds like another one
of your suggestions to me.

I didn't say rape her.

On in five, Beej.

Listen, I don't
like Jessie,

but I do like
ragging on her.

It's good for ratings.

Doesn't mean
I wanna see her hurt.

The BJ Show is back with two
of New York's finest,

talking about the bangtastic
Jessie Dawning.

Put on some headphones,
fellas!

[laughs]

Anyway, let's hear it for...

You want mail, we got it--
threat mail, fan mail,

hate mail, not to mention
thousands of emails.

A lot of people
write in about Jessie?

Yeah, especially since
she walked off the show.

Ton of guys fantasizing
about doing dirty things to her.

Okay, we'll take
everything you've gotten

in the last month.

Yeah?
Happy to help the fuzz.

You guys know
BJ's harmless, right?

He's just playing.

It only takes one crazy.

"Roses are red,
violets are blue,

when Jessie's dead,
her corpse I will"--

You get the rest, and there
are hundreds of them like this.

This BJ guy really
brings out the best in people.

And we got a transcript
from the BJ show.

"I'd like to break Jessie down
like a shotgun

and fill her full
of slut shot."

This is BJ talking,
not some fan.

This guy makes a living
demeaning women.

And two million
rabid fans

tune in every day
to hear him do it.

They want sex and violence.
Why not give it to them?

He's encouraging
people to rape.

What, "Jessie
needs a good banging.

Go out and give it to her."

This guy
knows his law, though.

He's protected
under Brandenburg,

unless his intent
is to go out and produce

an imminent and probable
lawless act.

I mean,
he could say to you,

"Elliot Stabler, I command you
to rape Jessie Dawning."

You wouldn't have
a case against him.

How is that possible?

He doesn't really
mean for you to do it.

It's a joke.

Except this time,

someone really
went out and did it.

Well, there's
your bad guy, not BJ.

They're both just as bad.

Elliot, you're "O" for 3.

There's no intent,
no imminent act,

and no likelihood
that his words

would be taken seriously.

Our rapist took BJ seriously.
He e-mailed him.

(Stabler)
"To BJ, your wish
is my command."

Hair's in her face,
but that's Jessie

in the same clothes she was
wearing when she was raped.

Her couch and her trailer.

Couple of more pictures were
attached to the same e-mail.

That's the NICE picket line.
Carolyn Spencer.

And this.

Who's that?

Carolyn Spencer's son,

Danny.

Mrs. Spencer, this is an arrest
warrant for your son Danny.

What? W-wait, you can't
just barge in--

What are you
talking about?

He raped Jessie Dawning
Tuesday afternoon.

That's ridiculous.

No, he comes home
from school every day

and goes right to his room.

This is wrong.
You've made some mistake.

You thought
he was home Tuesday.

Here he is with Jessie.
What is this?

Your son took that
with his camera phone

and sent it
to The BJ Cameron Show.

He's a shock jock.
I know who he is.

Go back to your room.

Daniel Spencer,
you're under arrest

for the rape
of Jessie Dawning.

What?
I didn't rape anybody.

It's okay, honey.
It's all a mistake.

No mistake.

That look like
a mistake to you?

What did you do?
Tell me, what did you do?

I didn't do anything.

I was just trying to get
on The BJ Show.

That show is not allowed
in this house!

You promised!
Mom...

You have the right
to remain silent.

It's all right, honey.
It'll be all right.

I didn't rape her.

Then explain these.

I--I snuck
into her trailer...

to steal her panties...

so that I could
get on The BJ Show.

She was sleeping, so...

I took some pictures.

And then--

You raped her.

He did not rape anybody.

She woke up.

I told her I was a fan.

I read her this poem
that I'd written for her.

She--she thought
it was nice.

Then we did it.

So you read her a poem,

and then she just said,

"That's nice.
Let's have sex."

Let's hear the poem.

It's--it's private.

It's a crock!

What about the cut on her head?
How about that?

I don't know--must have
happened after I left.

Why are you so surprised?

This girl is a slut.

My son did a stupid thing,

but he is not a criminal.

(attorney)
There was no rape.

Just two teenagers
having consensual sex.

You believe
this poem crap?

(Stabler)
We've got to ask.

Why?

Just because I make out
with boys on TV

doesn't make me a whore.

A suspect gave us
his version of what happened.

It's what his lawyers
are gonna say in court.

We need to hear
your version.

The only man I've
ever slept with is Franco.

Why would I just
all of a sudden

sleep with a stranger?

Okay, okay.

Do you recognize
the boy who raped you?

No.

Danny Spencer's DNA matches
the hair from Jessie's rape kit.

He's our guy.

She still didn't pick him out
of the photo array.

Well, if toxicology report
confirms her story,

she was too stoned to remember,
she was too stoned to consent.

Unfortunately,
the tox screen can't specify

her level of awareness.

It just shows she took
a whole lot of pills.

So she's a pill head.
She's still a rape victim.

Whom the defense will say

is a sexually precocious
drug addict

who's prone to blackouts.

She practically had
a pharmacy in her trailer.

And her co-star will testify
that she threw herself at him.

Either way, Danny Spencer's
version of events

isn't a hard-sell.

Especially
on the radio.

I was flipping
the stations in the car,

and who comes on The BJ Show
but Danny Spencer,

talking about
his sexual encounter

with everybody's
favorite floozy.

(Danny, over head phones)
I mean, I don't know
where she's been...

The dub will be done
in a minute.

(BJ)
You rode that cow good, huh?

Did you last
the mandatory eight seconds?

What kind of dipstick

goes in front
of two million people

knowing they're gonna
be humiliated?

Getting ripped on is a badge
of honor for BJ's fans.

He's gonna get laid
left and right off of this.

How'd Danny get on the show
in the first place?

We called him.

Five minutes later,
he calls us back and says,

"I'll come on the show
if I can sneak out

without my mom knowing."

That's all she wrote.

That's only
ten minutes worth.

Where's the rest
of the interview?

As far as we got.

The station got so many
phone complaints

about our "obscene show,"

they yanked us
off the air.

If we're not on the air,
we don't roll tape.

It's a shame, too, it got cut
off just before the best part.

What, something heavy
fell on BJ's head?

No, when Danny told BJ

Jessie was passed out
when he did her.

Where is BJ right now?

What possible reason
do I have to tell you anything?

16-year-old girl was raped.

Your testimony will put
a rapist in jail.

That Danny kid's so screwed up,
he'd say anything for a laugh.

What, did he think
raping Jessie was funny?

You're not gonna get me
to talk about this.

Why not?

Because people like you
cut off my show.

Did you get a big happy
when the anti-smut crusaders

yanked my show
off the air this morning?

(Fin)
You were humiliating
a rape victim.

Great, take me off the air!

You know what I find offensive?
Catcher in the Rye.

Let's find every copy
and burn it.

You're pissed off because
your show got pulled.

I'm pissed off because
a couple of hundred crackpots

want to decide
what's appropriate

for two million people
to listen to,

and you're letting them win.

We're not trying
to shut you down.

We're trying
to catch a rapist.

And I'm exercising my right
not to speak.

Son of a bitch
wants to turn himself

into a martyr
for free speech.

Didn't the producer hear Danny
admit to raping Jessie?

BJ told him that
later,

and his station
doesn't record

unless
they're broadcasting.

So we can't use the confession
unless BJ gives it up.

You subpoena him,

he's gonna turn that trial
into a free-speech circus.

BJ likes whining
about his freedom of speech.

Let's give him something
to really cry about.

I'll take a page out
of Carolyn Spencer's playbook.

How do you hurt
Howard Stern?

Go after Clear Channel.

So you're gonna put the screws
to Entropy Broadcasting?

And their sponsors
and their advertisers.

Ask them how they feel
about Entropy's star personality

hindering the prosecution
of a rapist.

The pinheads at Entropy

say I gotta testify
against Danny Spencer

if I wanna keep my show.

Oh, I know.
It's tragic.

Do you wake up
every morning and think,

"How can I trample
on the first amendment today?"

I wake up and think,
"How can I put away a rapist?"

The only reason
you don't have a confession

is the thought police
took me off the air.

You want me
to let a rapist walk free,

so you can stick it
to the thought police?

If that's what it takes
to protect free speech, yeah.

You know the deal.

You testify
or your advertising goes away.

Just tell me when to be there.

I'll even wear a suit.

What do I have to do?

You'll go
on the stand first

and then I'll
lead you through what happened.

Everything,
including how he found me

passed out on my couch?

We can explain that.

You'd been working
16-hour days.

You were exhausted.

Will I have to tell them
about the pills?

If the defense
asks you, yes.

Great.

They're gonna say
I'm a slut and a junkie.

I can't imagine how hard
this must be for you, Jessie.

But your testimony will help
put your rapist in jail.

Please.

Can you just
do this without me?

Carolyn,
this is a good offer.

Danny only went on that show
to impress BJ.

Danny confessed to rape!

BJ Cameron is the one
you should be going after.

Danny wouldn't
have done anything

if BJ hadn't
egged him on.

Mom!
You don't have
a say in this.

Actually, he does.

I am his mother.
You don't get to decide for him.

You're here as a courtesy,
Mrs. Spencer.

This is a one-time offer.

Rape Three--
he does one to three

and tells the court
everything he did.

We should consider the deal.

No!

There is no way you can prove
he did anything wrong.

It's his word against
that junkie tramp.

And who do you think
the jury's gonna believe?

I thought you were
a role model, Mrs. Spencer.

Whatever happened to
teaching kids to tell the truth?

I'm doing what's best
for my son.

What's best for her son?

She's all about
morals and decency

until it becomes
inconvenient.

I can bully BJ
onto the stand.

I can present
all the evidence that I want.

But without Jessie,
I got nothing.

Any chance of talking
to Danny

without Carolyn
running interference?

And saying what--
ignore your mom?

Listen to me
and go to jail?

Okay, well, look...

Maybe the guilt has been
eating away at this kid.

Make him face
what he's done.

My mom says I can't speak to you
without my lawyer.

You don't have to talk.
You just listen.

Look--

Jessie.

What are you
doing here?

What am I supposed
to say to him?

Look...

I'm sure you hate me.

Shut up!

You don't get
to defend yourself.

What you did to me...

You think I'm trash,
don't you?

No.

No, I don't.

But all those things
that BJ said about me

you think are funny.

Breaking into my trailer
and stealing my panties.

It was just
a stupid prank.

You call raping me
a prank?

I wish I could
take it all back.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

How could you be sorry
when you went on the radio

and bragged
about what you did to me?!

BJ started making jokes.

I was just trying
to keep up.

Was your mom just trying
to keep up, too,

because...

she said she wished
I was dead.

No, no.

She didn't mean it
like that, she was--

She thinks she is so perfect,

but all she does

is give kids
somebody to blame

when they do something wrong.

Kids shoot up a high school--
blame Marilyn Manson.

You raped me...

blame BJ Cameron.

Danny...

You're the only one who knows
what really happened.

You can own up to it
like a man.

Or you can
hide behind your mother.

(Judge)
Mr. Spencer, do you wish
to change your plea?

I do, your honor.

I plead guilty.

And this is a decision
you've reached

of your own free will,
with no coercion

or undue influence?

Yes, sir.

Ms. Novak.

All that remains
to satisfy the terms

of the plea arrangement

is for Mr. Spencer to allocute
the details of his crime.

(Judge)
Go ahead, Mr. Spencer.

I went to Ms. Dawning's work...

thinking maybe
I could steal her underwear

to get on
The BJ Cameron Show.

I thought
that'd be cool.

I'd maybe even
get some girls.

I didn't think
she'd be in her trailer.

I almost bolted

when I saw her sleeping.

Then I thought,
how cool would it be

to get a picture
of her.

So I took one.

And she didn't wake up.

I lifted up her skirt

to take another,

and she didn't wake up.

I pulled down her panties,

and I began
to have sex with her.

I was wrong.
I was stupid.

She started
to wake up a little bit.

I pushed her away,
and I ran.

I deserve to go to jail.

I'm sorry.

Are the people satisfied,
Ms. Novak?

We are, your honor.

Court officer,

please remand Mr. Spencer
into custody

pending a sentencing
hearing.

Court is adjourned.

[gavel strikes]

You did the right thing,
Danny.

Get away from him.
Hey, take it easy!

Thanks.

BJ walks outside,
goes right to the press,

and tells them how happy he is
that justice has been served.

A sound bite gets him
on the 6:00 news.

His ratings go up.
The idiot's loving life.

Not anymore.
That was a 2-7.

Somebody just took a shot
at BJ outside his radio station.

I'm dyin'!
Stupid bitch shot me!

I'm Type "O" Negative.
I need a transfusion.

You're gonna be fine.
Just take it easy.

What happened?

Took a slug
in the shoulder.

Vitals are stable.
Not much blood loss.

Who saw what?

At least five bystanders
saw what happened.

She walked right up to him
and pulled the trigger.

Why did you do this?

I had to.

I couldn't let him
ruin another family.

Here's my case.

The attempted murder
of BJ Cameron,

memorialized on film
by some shutter happy tourist.

You're going to jail.
No deals.

We don't want any deals.

Carolyn shot BJ
because she was distraught

over what he'd done
to her son.

Extreme emotional disturbance
isn't gonna fly.

She went
to the radio station,

waited for BJ to come out,
and then shot him.

He should be dead.

He turned my son
into a rapist.

He's ruined Danny's life.

Danny ruined his own life.

He wanted
to be a doctor.

He wanted to help people.

Until he started listening
to The BJ Show.

Then he decided he didn't
want to go to college

because BJ didn't.

How many more kids

do you think this man
is gonna ruin?

So you didn't shoot BJ
just because of Danny.

You did it to keep him
from corrupting other kids.

No mother should
see her son go to prison

because some foul-mouth pig
thinks rape is funny.

And I'm guessing
there's at least one person

out of every twelve
who will agree.

Come on, Carolyn.

What did I do?

You don't even
say hi to your boss?

Hi.
What did I do?

Just wondering why you're taking
this Spencer case to trial.

She doesn't want to plea.

Her lawyer's going
with some bogus

extreme emotional
disturbance defense.

Bogus or not,
you take this to court,

you could lose.

Even the candid camera
helps her.

You shoot someone
in broad daylight,

you're obviously
not thinking straight.

Police interview
the photographer?

He was gone
by the time they got there.

They're still looking,
but the paper

won't give up a name
without a subpoena.

I'll see
what I can do to help.

In the meantime,
push harder for a plea.

Carolyn Spencer
shot BJ Cameron

because she's a zealot.

We offer her
a slap on the wrist,

it's just giving
a green light

to every vigilante
in the city.

Carolyn will be judged
by a jury of her peers.

She's not
the only one out there

sick of being surrounded
by trash like The BJ Show.

BJ has the right
to say what he wants.

Carolyn doesn't have the right
to shoot him.

That's the law.

But you get one overprotective
parent in your jury,

you got yourself a mistrial.

Did the defendant
appear distracted

or even upset
when she shot you?

She seemed totally calm.

Walked up to me,
pulled a gun,

squeezed the trigger.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

In your show,
have you ever directed

any of your listeners
to commit a violent act?

No.

I have here some transcripts
from your show.

Would you please read
from the highlighted passage?

"The Undercover bimbette

"is nothing but
an uptight little bitch.

She needs a good banging
to loosen her up."

(attorney)
And this one.

"Someone needs
to throw her down

and nail her like she's never
been nailed before."

But, according to you,

these words were never meant
to incite violence

toward Jessie Dawning.

No.

They're jokes.

They were meant
to be funny.

You see anyone laughing?

I didn't use
my funny voice.

No further questions.

Redirect, your honor.

Mr. Cameron,

do you think that the KKK
or Aryan Nations are funny?

Only in that they're

the most ignorant
bunch of jackasses

in the country.

So you don't agree
with their views.

But do you think they should
still be allowed

to express them?

They may be hate-mongering
idiots,

but they still have the right
to speak their minds

like everyone else.

So as much as you
dislike their views,

do you think it's okay
just to go out and shoot them?

No.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

Danny was--
he was the sweetest kid

before he started listening
to The BJ Cameron Show.

And then,
all of a sudden,

women were "bitches"
and "ho's" and--

Even his little sister.

(defense attorney)
Wasn't it your job
as his mother

to keep him in line?

Yes, absolutely.

But it was like there was
another parent in the house

contradicting
everything that I said.

Thank you.

Your witness.

BJ Cameron's demographics.

200,000 listeners
under the age of 16.

Only one rapist.

So why did his show
affect your son

differently
than the others?

Danny didn't have
a male influence in his life

after his father left.

When he found BJ,

he practically
worshipped him.

Why didn't you
stop him from listening?

I tried.

He bought a radio
with his allowance,

and he hid it from me.

I work--I can't watch him
24 hours a day.

Because you were too busy
trying to shut down The BJ Show.

Objection!
Argumentative.

I'll rephrase.

Do you put your work
with N-I-C-E

ahead of raising
your children?

No.

My job is about
protecting my children.

But isn't it true

that you shot BJ Cameron

not because he
ruined your son's life,

but because
he made a mockery

of your crusade
to rid the world of filth?

People like BJ
have taken over television...

the Internet, movies, music.

And you want to silence them.

I want my children
to have a childhood.

I'm all alone
raising two kids,

and it is almost impossible

to keep that obscenity
away from them.

And that justifies
shooting BJ?

That man...

took away
everything I believe in.

He took away my family.

My baby's future.

And I had to stop him.

I didn't know
what else to do.

You lose yet?

I'm working on it.

Told you.

You put Carolyn Spencer
next to BJ,

she's gonna look like
Mother Theresa.

It's an extreme
emotional disturbance case.

I can't object
to the defense

painting a picture
of the heartbroken mother.

You want to convince the jury
Carolyn's guilty,

show them she's responsible
for her actions,

just like Danny was.

Wish I could
put him on the stand,

but he won't say boo
against her.

Maybe he'll change his mind
when he hears about this.

Got a hold
of Mom's phone records.

Look who his mom
was talking to

right before
she shot BJ.

Why are we here?

People's exhibits
eight and nine.

The defense hasn't
gone over those documents.

You will.

We're just waiting
on one more person.

And here he is.

Danny...

Hey.

(defense attorney)
Why is he here?

So I can convince him
to testify against his mother.

I told you no way.

People's Exhibit Eight.

A copy
of Carolyn Spencer's LUDS,

showing two phone calls

to NICE vice president
James Willoughby

on the afternoon
BJ Cameron was shot.

Is there a point
to all this?

People's Exhibit Nine.

Copy of the check
the New York Ledger

wrote to the same
James Willoughby

as payment for pictures
of BJ Cameron's shooting.

Mr. Willoughby
took those pictures?

You asked him to.

Bet you didn't think anyone
would find out, did you?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

You talked to him

for twenty minutes
that afternoon.

You told him to take pictures
of the shooting.

No, I didn't.

We'll see what Mr. Willoughby
says on the witness stand.

He'll say the same thing.

You planned it?

Why?

So the whole world
would see her

as a martyr
for her cause.

It was just
a publicity stunt?

No!
No, don't listen to her.

I did it for you.

You're so full of it.

I want to testify.

I'll tell them
she didn't shoot BJ

because of me.

I'll tell them
she just wanted

to get her stupid crusade
on the news.

No.

I did it because
I love you.

I wanna go back
to my cell.

Danny, no!

Wait, Danny, plea--
Danny!

Last chance.

I'll drop
the attempted murder

if she pleads guilty
to assault.

I didn't
do anything wrong.

And this has all

been fascinating,

but it doesn't
prove a thing.

Then we'll let a jury decide.

(judge)
Mr. Foreman, you've been
deliberating for two weeks.

What's the division of votes?

Six to six, your honor.

Is there any chance,
with more time,

you could reach a verdict?

We've tried.

We're deadlocked.

Then I have no choice
but to declare a mistrial.

Yes!

The defendant's bail
is continued

pending the people's decision
for a retrial.

[gavel pounds]

How do you deadlock

with a mountain of evidence
in front of you?

The jury thought
BJ deserved what he got.

He flapped his mouth
on the radio.

She picked up a gun
and shot him!

There's no question
who broke the law here.

No, but after
hearing BJ on the stand,

half the jury would have
done what Carolyn did.

[knock knock]

Gotta hear this.

BJ's been in full rant mode
for the last five minutes.

(BJ, on radio)
Carolyn Spencer's not just
a bitch with a capital "C,"

she's a fascist who should be
tried and fried

for crimes
against democracy.

Strap her into old sparky
and shoot a million volts

through that Nazi
brain of hers!

Think they'll let me
pull the switch?

And you wonder why people
want that guy to shut up.

No one's forcing them
to listen.

(BJ)
Let me tell you,
that woman is just--
