(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.

(man)
Every cop has a weakness.

You just gotta know
how to exploit it.

They think they're so smart.

They treat you
like you're an imbecile.

If you're not careful,

you start to believe 'em.

It's a game for 'em.
They get off on it.

They got these huge egos.

That's their biggest problem.

All you gotta do is let 'em
know who's in charge.

Not them.

You.

[switch clicks]

They used to call FBI agents
gangsters with badges,

one step away from being

the worst criminals
in society.

Stabler's like that.

Big time.

(man)
Who's Stabler?

Jarhead detective.

You know Stabler?

I do.

And he knows me too.

He's been thinking about me
for a long time.

He'll try to hang you
with your own words,

catch you in a lie.

You're dead
once that happens.

What do you tell him?

The truth'll set you free.

Mr. Rickett,
let's get you set up

in more hospitable
surroundings.

[whistles]

*

(Detective Munch)
Okay, have a seat.

Thought this would be
a little more comfortable.

You all right there,
Mr. Rickett?
I'm fine.

You sure you don't want
an attorney?

I'm sure.

Okay, we're gonna start
in a few minutes

when the case detective
gets here.

In the meantime,
you can relax.

You want anything,
like a soda, coffee?

Hey, you wanna look
at the Sports section?

We might be here for a bit.

I was never much
into sports.

My high school basketball coach
said I looked like

a retarded gazelle
with a spastic disorder.

Mr. Daley.
Real loving guy.

You look like you're
in pretty good shape.

You work out, Mr. Rickett?

I've been thinking about
getting a trainer myself.

You know,
bulking up a little bit.

I think it might help me
with the ladies.

Is that why you work out?

Ah, here we go.
Classifieds.

"Single white male.

"Wanted for my wife's
playmate.

"Prefer hedonist who likes
pleasure mixed with pain.

I get to watch."

This could develop

into something
really meaningful for you.

Didn't somebody tell me

that you lived in California
for a while?

[light buzzes]

You gotta be nuts
to come back to this city.

In a few years
when I get my pension,

meager though it is,

I'm heading straight to the
beautiful San Fernando Valley,

live the sweet life.

I can't believe you came back.
Why did you?

You have a girlfriend
in California, Mr. Rickett?

I don't feel like chatting
anymore, friend.

I hear ya.

Might as well wait
'til we get started.

Plus, it'll give you more time
to come up with an answer.

Detective Olivia Benson.

Gordon Rickett.

Where's your partner?

Just taking care
of a few things.

We were just going over
the classifieds,

trying to help out Mr. Rickett
with his sex life.

He's very open-minded.

You want something
to eat, Mr. Rickett?
I'm fine.

He is so easy to please.

Well, I see you're gonna have
a lot to talk about.

Good night.

We gonna start now?

Just waiting for my partner.

Your partner's
Detective Stabler?

Want my advice?

Get yourself a new partner.

Tell you the truth,

I'm surprised he's still got
a job with this outfit.

Unless he's on medication
or something.

Whack job.

Total lack of control.

Like an animal.

You can tell him yourself
when he gets here.

You think I'm an idiot?

You think I don't know he's
right outside right now?

What, are they afraid
to let you in here with me?

Too unstable,
Detective Stabler?

They got you
on a leash now?

There's no one there.

Come look for yourself.

Forget it.

I wish
she wouldn't do that.

He wasn't coming out. Wouldn't
risk looking that stupid.

Smart enough
to beat a murder wrap.

Nothing to do
with brains.

Rickett lucked out because
a jury wouldn't convict

on the strongest
circumstantial evidence

we could've given them.

Well, he may
luck out again.

No forensics, no weapon,

no crime scene,

and no idea how he transported
the body to the dump site.

I'm aware
of this, Captain.

How long since you
arrested him?

Three hours.

Then you got 21 more
'til he walks.

He was packing up
his apartment.

If I hadn't collared him,

in a couple hours
he would've skipped

and gotten away
with another one.

Not this time.

He really wants you in there.

I'm gonna make him
beg for it.

(Rickett)
This is harassment, you know.

I never touched that girl.

I know my rights.

You can't drum this up
after 14 years.

The jury found me
innocent.

You're not here about
Dana MacNamara, Mr. Rickett.

Then what are the boxes for?

When the interview begins,

you're gonna answer
our questions.

See, that's the way it works
around here, Mr. Rickett.

In case you've forgotten.

I don't have
to answer anything.

I don't have
to say a word.

That's true.

You know what
they said about me?

Do you know what
that trial did to my life?

That was before my time.

Oh, really?

You don't know?

You never heard
anything about it?

Then why even bring it up?

Come on.
Hmm?

Let's get this over with.

Why'd you leave California,
Mr. Rickett?

I didn't like it.
Why not?

It was too hot.

Tell me
about Dana MacNamara.

No.

Thought you wanted

to get this over with.

I don't want
to talk about that.

This is a frame job.

I'm not stupid.

Oh, nobody's calling

you stupid, Mr. Rickett.

In fact, I believe that

that was Detective Stabler's
mistake 14 years ago--

Not respecting your intelligence
the first time around.

There was no
first time around.

Dana MacNamara.

11 years old.

Last seen
on January 10th, 1991.

3:30 in the afternoon.

Witnesses say that she was
walking up the street

with you.

She also lived
in your building.

Not true.

She lived in the apartment
above my bar,

where lots of people
come and go,

lots of suspects
that you guys never talked to.

Police questioned
Vanessa Serafino,

your fiancée at the time.

Now, Miss Serafino

stated, and later testified
at trial,

that you were prone
to violent outbursts.

She's a liar.

And whenever you had
sexual relations with her,

you made her wear pigtails,

because it made her
look younger.

And although she complied
with your request,

you often beat her.

Dana MacNamara was found
in a drainage ditch

on Staten Island

a week after she went missing,
naked.

Her clothing dumped
next to her dead body.

She was sexually assaulted.

Her hands and feet
were bound.

She was strangled manually.

But that's not all.

I've heard all this before.

You beat her after
she was already dead.

Kicked repeatedly, post-mortem,
in the ribs and the head,

and then--
That's enough.

You mutilated her body.

Took a knife
and carved out her chest.

I'm innocent.
Tell me, Mr. Rickett,

what kind of man does that?

A smart man
or a sick man?

Somebody intelligent
or an animal?

A man with no control.

Shut up!

[breathing deeply]

[whistles a song]

*

There he is.

Sit.

Detective Elliot Stabler,

shining star of
the New York Police Department.

You miss me?

You old bastard.

You know I missed you.

This is Kerry Lynn Palmer,
12 years old.

Her body was found
in the Hudson River a week ago.

She'd been raped, strangled,
mutilated post-mortem,

same way as Dana MacNamara.

The medical examiner estimates

she'd been dumped
in the river one hour

before she was discovered.

I'll bet the killer
wasn't counting on that.

Now we can start.

(Stabler)
Sure you don't want
a lawyer, Gordon?

[sighs]

I'm sure.

I gotta tell ya,
I don't think

that's too smart.

Shoot me when I start to care
about what you think.

How was California?

Hot.

Why'd you leave?

Because it was hot.

So how you been, Gordon?

Life been treatin' you well
since we last spoke?

I'm fine.

Financial problems?

I get by.

What's your job again?

I work
with hazardous materials.

You dispose
of hazardous materials.

That's what I said.

So you're
a garbageman?

I'm a taxpaying citizen.

I'm not ashamed to say that.

What happened
to that bar you owned?
I sold it.

(Stabler)
Wasn't that in your family

for a few generations?

You inherited that place
from your mom.

It's a shame.

Thanks for your sympathy.

So you went to California.
You fly?

No.
Drive?

I don't own a car.

Teleport?

[laughter]

I took the bus.

Directly to California

or did you live
someplace along the way?

A lot of states
between here and there,

like Nevada, Arizona--

Did you live in those states

before you got to California?

[lights buzz]

Why'd you leave California?

What, are you deaf?

I said I didn't like it.

You were there
almost a decade.

Well, maybe he was getting
his head together.

That's what they do there,
you know.

He was deciding what he wanted
to do with his freedom.

I think he's decided
he's gonna be a garbageman.

But you can pick up garbage
anywhere.

Why come back here?

My aunt died.

I needed to take care

of things,
decided to stay.

That's very decent of you,
Gordon. I'm sorry for your loss.

No, you're not.

You're laughing at me.

You wrecked a man's life,
and you think it's a big joke.

I wrecked your life?

Tried to.

I must be
a pretty powerful guy.

I know you think you are.
Are you hungry?

I'm starting to get hungry.

Would you like
something to eat, Gordon?

No.
Mr. Rickett...

Where were you
between the hours

of 4 p.m. Sunday and
3 a.m. the following Monday?

Home.

The entire time?

Yeah.

There was nobody
there with you?

I was alone.

Home alone, that's
what you said last time.

That's a 14-year-old alibi,
Gordon.

Spend a lot of time alone?

Yeah.
You don't have a girlfriend?

Nobody special.
Nobody special?

No.

When did your aunt die?
A month ago.

Why weren't you at work?
When?

Sunday at 4:00
to the following morning?

I don't work weekends.

Because you're
a trash collector.
I work with hazardous materials.

What are you driving these days,
besides a garbage truck?

I said I don't own a car.

Mr. Rickett,
do you know this girl?
No.

You've never seen her before?

Not once.
So nobody
will ever tell us

that they saw you
talking to this girl

or even were in
the same vicinity as she was?

No way.
Why did you and
Vanessa Serafino break up?

Because you told her

that I killed that girl.

No, she called off the wedding
long before I arrested you.

I just can't remember why.

Didn't it have something
to do with medical school?
Yeah, that's it.

You told her you were getting
your medical degree at NYU.

I was going
to night school.

You were pretending
to be a medical student.

I mean, how long
did you think

you were gonna pull
that one off?

You gonna pull

people off the street, start
performing surgery on 'em?

I couldn't get
financial aid.

Money had nothing
to do with it, Gordon.

You never finished high school.
Come on.

Lie to your fiancée.

Don't lie to me.
I'm not lying
about anything.

You lied about

your current girlfriend.
No.

I said there was
nobody special.

So who's this woman
that keeps visiting you at work?

You're the detective.

Your ex-fiancée,

Vanessa, the one
with the pigtails,

she took out a restraining
order against you

after the trial.

She changed her name,
left town.

What happened?
You threaten her?

I never spoke
to that skank again.

You said that your aunt

died a month ago.

Yeah?

That's why you came back
to New York?

So?

You came back
six months ago, Mr. Rickett.

She was sick.
I took care of her.

Like you're her doctor?

She needed help.

I didn't want to put her
in a nursing home,

so I came back,
period.

It's very loving
of you, Gordon.

Those places are hellholes.

She needed help.

I stayed with her
'til she died.

Why did you leave California,
Mr. Rickett?

You already asked me
20 times.

(Stabler)
Dana MacNamara
was murdered

a couple weeks after Vanessa
broke off the engagement.

On a scale of 1 to 10,

how mad did Vanessa make you?

I didn't care.

Now, you were fired

three weeks ago,
Mr. Rickett, weren't you?

I wasn't fired.

They gave the jobs
to one of their mafia buddies.

They screwed you.
It was political.

Yeah, but you get caught up
in the process.

They treat you
like you're nothing.

They're nothing.
I know,

but they got the power and
you're the one who's unemployed.

Because I'm being disrespected
again, as usual.

Why is that, Gordon?

Why are people always
disrespecting you?

I don't know.
How can you take it?

I'm not gonna take it anymore.
They don't know!

They don't know anything
about you.
That's right.

I'm gonna show 'em.

Gonna show 'em, aren't you?
Yeah.

Who?
Everybody.

Yeah, 'cause no one's innocent.
Your bosses...
That's right.

And girlfriends.
Yeah.

The kids.
Even the kids!

What are you
gonna do to them?
I'm gonna hurt the kids!

Hurt your kids, Stabler.

We're talking
about Kerry Lynn Palmer here.

I'm gonna kill
all the kids!

What are you gonna do
about it, huh?

Tell me how you killed her.
And then
I'm gonna kill

their puppies, then I'm gonna
kill their kitties.

I'm a psycho killer!

What are you gonna do
about it, huh? Come on!

Come on!

I'm a psycho killer!

What are you gonna do
about it, huh?

[chuckles]

What are you gonna do?

Come on!
Come on!

[laughs]

You're a hoot, Stabler.

Agh!
"Kill the kids!"

You're just like
I remember ya.

Only now they send you in here
with a babysitter.

You bust on me
because I'm a garbageman?

Well, what about you?

You're a--

an animal.

A Neanderthal.

Sit down, Mr. Rickett.

You see that?

It's a little reminder
I've got of your partner.

I never forgot him.

I had a--

little accident

last time we were together
in a room like this.

I accidentally let him

put me through
a plate glass window.

Did I cry about it?

Did I sue the city?

Look for a handout,
like all the other schmucks?

No.

Because I'm a man.

He didn't hear
what he wanted from me,

and he had
a temper tantrum.

He has no self control.

Like a baby.

Like a stupid, selfish,
whiny child.

Who wants something to eat?

I want cheese on that,

whatever has
a really strong smell,

and extra raw onions,
like double the normal amount.

That's it.

Good.
Thanks.

Why don't we really
mess with him

and order a couple
of filet mignons?

If only we had it
in the budget.

Good luck, Elliot.
'Night, Cap.

Elliot, we're almost
five hours into this.

I can still get to him.

We gotta start thinking
about a different tactic

than getting creative
with takeout.

Listen to that last thing
Rickett said about kids.

They're greedy.
They're out of control.

They're stupid.

Now, for Rickett, that is
the worst insult he can give.

This guy is never
gonna confess.

Captain, I know this guy.

He's like an addict.

He's hooked on the rage.

Not expressing it,
controlling it.

He gets off on denying himself
an outlet for his anger.

And it builds,
and it builds

'til he finds a girl,

and he takes it out on her.

Rickett was playing you
in there.

He was perfectly in control.
Were you?

Rickett thinks
he's in charge.

You make sure
he knows he's not.

Just keep
pushing his buttons.

See which one lights him up.

(Stabler)
Boy, that was good.

You sure you don't
want anything, Gordon?
No.

You're gonna spend
a long time with us.

Might as well get
a free meal out of it, you know?

I'm not hungry.
God, that was good.

Could you explain
one thing to me?

Why'd you leave California?

You're out of your mind.

No, seriously, just give me
an explanation I can grasp.

Why here?
Why now?

My aunt died.

Mr. Rickett,
you don't have an aunt.

Your father was
an only child,

and your mother
had two sisters, long deceased.

You got wrong information.

That's your problem.

What's this?

Oh, Detective Tutuola.

(Fin)
'Sup, Gordy?

All that talk

about telling the truth,

"I'm a genius,
cops are punks."

You're embarrassing
yourself, man.

You're lying your ass off,
and everybody knows it.

No, I'm not.

Talk to Sandra Brophy lately?

Remember?

Your girlfriend
from California.

(Fin)
She told us to tell you "hello",

then rip off your nuts
and feed 'em to you.

You're making friends
all over the country,

aren't you, Gordon?
Whatever she told you
is a lie.

(Fin)
She told us

you tried to rape
her 14 year-old daughter.

And then you ran away
like a little girl.

(Fin)
The only reason
you're sitting here

right now is 'cause

that kid's too scared
to talk to the cops.

The girl had
emotional problems.

The only problem that she had
was running into you.

(Fin)
We also heard you got evicted

from your apartment
down there

a week and a half
before you attacked her kid.

(Stabler)
Let's see, you murdered
Dana MacNamara

after your fiancée dumps you.

You murder Kerry Lynn Palmer
after you get fired.

(Benson)
Tell us about Nevada.

And Arizona.

Carson, Nevada?

Chloe Lynch, age 13.
(Benson)
Missing.

Presumed dead.

Carson police questioned you
about it.

Tempe, Arizona.
Heather Morrison, 11.

Missing.

Presumed dead.

You were questioned and
released for lack of evidence.

That's why you kept moving.

That's why you left California.

That's why you were
packing to leave New York.

You know, I've dreamed
about this day.

Seeing that look on your face

when I catch you in every lie
and every mistake.

And you've already made
your biggest one.

Yeah?

Yeah,
you came back here.

You haven't forgotten me?

I haven't
forgotten you either.

Where are you going?

To the crib.
See you in 30.

Okay, let's get in there.

No.
Why?

Rickett's sleeping.
And you're letting him?

About ten minutes.
Then I'll wake him up.

Let him sleep some more.
Wake him up again.

Just keep doing it
'til the sun comes up.

Okay.
I'll go in when you wake him.

No.

Why not?

Look, I'm changing it up.

Nothing personal,
just changing it up.

Oh, so you're gonna
do this by yourself?

What, are you
a one-man squad now?
He called you my babysitter.

So what?
So I wanna use that!

I want him to think
that when I go in there,

I'm gonna throw him right
through that window again.

I know what I'm doing.

Okay.

Wake up, Gordy.

Enough time to sleep

when you're dead.

You drink it.

You look like
you could use it

more than me.

I'm getting a second wind.
I feel pretty good.

Get this look, Elliot.

It's like I'm
a cheatin' boyfriend.

Don't worry, baby.
I'll always love you.

You're funny.

Yeah, you're hilarious,

acting all betrayed.

We snowed you, Rickett.
Get over it.

You're a good actor.

Unless that wasn't acting.

You on the pipe
back in the day?

I think he's mad
at you, Fin.

Bet it was real tough,

growing up in a studio
apartment, like cockroaches.

You should be real proud
of yourself.

This guy's good.

I know.

It's like he's turning
the tables or something.

Damn, he's like some reverse
psychology evil genius.

You're both pathetic.

Who's pathetic?

It's amazing how much you know
about being a bastard child.

That's personal experience,
Rickett?

I know who my daddy is.
I do too,

but mine stuck around,
not like your daddy.

What do you know about it?

Everybody knows
everything about you, Gordon,

because you told
the shrink who evaluated you

before your trial
14 years ago.

Let's see now,
your father abandoned you

when you were 18 months old.
Shrinks make a big deal
out of everything.

Six months later, your mother
gets pregnant again

by another guy
who won't marry her.

Your sister is born.
How is your sister, Gordon?

Ask her.
(Fin)
Yeah, I did.

Must be a big
kick in the balls

to know your own blood
thinks you're guilty

as sin.

No, Gordon doesn't care
about his sister.

She ruined his life.
That's what he told the shrink.

So now you got
two babies in the house.

Only that's too much work
for Mommy,

so you're forced
to grow up, huh?

No more bottles,
no more diapers,

definitely no more crying.

Your mom would kick your ass
if you shed a tear, huh?

That selfish bitch!

[whining]
You ruined my life

because you wouldn't
take care of me.

I'm not gonna talk to you
about my mother.

(Fin)
"My mommy never loved me.

I had no childhood."

I never said that
to the shrink.

(Stabler)
No, that's what the shrink
said about you.

"Subject"--that's you--

"has a childlike view
of the world.

"Believes the world
has conspired

"to deny him success
and happiness

"in spite of his inflated
estimate of his own

intelligence."

She just called you
a moron, Gordon.

Think I care
what that bitch said?

Oh, yeah, I do. Look at you.
It's eating you up.

If "that bitch" were
in this room right now,

you'd tear her apart.

If "that bitch" was
in this room right now,

and she were 11 years old,

you'd kill her.

I don't need a Ph.D. to know
what kind of person you are.

You're a loser.

You had a tough childhood.
That makes you special?

That makes you a victim?

You're nothing.

You contribute nothing.

The reason your life sucks
is because

you've done nothing.

[laughs]

"I've done nothing."

You counting
the little children

that you've raped and murdered?

Is that what you're saying
to me?

You wanna walk me through that,
you piece of garbage?

Tell me how good you are
at torturing children!

Tell me how strong you've gotta
be to kill a little girl!

Huh?

What's the problem?

A grown woman too much
of a challenge for you?

I should do to you what you do
to those little girls.

I should put you in pigtails,
you little bitch.

Come on, you little bitch,

I want you to cry for me.

Come on, tell me!

[spits]
Come on!
Cry for me!

(Fin)
Elliot!
Get out!

Come on, man.

Come on!

Come on, you little bitch!

Tell me about
the little girls, huh?

Huh?
Tough guy.

[sighs]

What the hell was that?
Nothing.

So Elliot screams at him
for a couple of hours,

and what's the plan
after that?

I don't know.

That was the end
of the plan.

[sirens wail]

Night again.

Looks like you and me

are gonna say good-bye
pretty soon.

Messed with my chair, huh?

Screwed with the lights,

cranked up the heat.

I miss anything?

Here, fix the chair
if you want.

The food--

Get you to eat or drink

so you have to ask
to use the john.

Try to make you
need something from us.

Food, sleep, whatever.

You didn't need anything.

You are your own man.

And you know what else?

[keys clink]

You're smarter.

At the end of the day,

that's one thing
I'm pretty sure of.

You don't know how much
it pains me to have to say that.

And it's weird
because back then,

with Dana...

I thought I knew it all.

That it didn't matter that
we couldn't find the place

where you murdered her.

Didn't matter
that we couldn't prove

how you dumped the body.

I knew you were guilty.

I thought that was enough,
but, uh...

we both know
how that turned out.

See, back then, I thought
you were a pedophile.

And pedophiles, you know,
in their own sick way,

think they love children.

They, uh, build
a relationship with them.

They--they believe that they
have an emotional connection

to the child.

You know how you get
a pedophile to confess?

You offer him
the opportunity.

Some of 'em just feel
so guilty about it,

that they're dying
to tell ya.

[buzzing]

But that's not you,
is it, Gordon?

I was all wrong.

Working in SVU,
I learned the difference

between a pedophile
and a man who rapes children.

You don't care
about the kids.

You hate the kids.

It's not about attraction
or power or dominance.

It's about annihilation.

You defile and destroy her,

because she has
what you'll never have--

Hope.

Trust.

Potential.

Is that why I do it?

That's part of it.

The other part,

the part that I've been trying
to get at all night,

is the rage.

You're very good
at hiding it.

It's...

unbelievable.

But I know it's there.

I mean, I can see it,

even when you're sitting
still like now.

Gordon...

You're kidding yourself

if you think
you're controlling it.

It's controlling you.

Every lie you tell
to cover your inadequacies,

every perceived insult
you think you're getting,

just feeds it.

You're lecturing me
about rage?

Are you kidding?

I'm not.

What do you know
about controlling anything?

I don't murder people.

Give it time.

You say you see something
in me.

Well, I see something
in you too.

You think you control.

You can't.

You're controlled.

By your boss,

by your job,
by your wife,

your kids.

What would you be
if all those controls went away?

I'd be you.

[door opens]

(Cragen)
Mr. Rickett, you're free to go.

Look, I know
we're all disappointed

about this hump being back
on the streets again.

But we get past it,

and we find the link between
Rickett and Kerry Lynn Palmer.

Or something that leads us
to where he killed her.

(Munch)
They never found that
14 years ago.

I doubt we'll find it now.

When I arrested Rickett
for Dana MacNamara's murder,

he lawyered up immediately.

This time we got 24 hours worth
of interrogation.

I wanna go over everything
that came out of his mouth.

That's what we've been doing,
Elliot.

You know this crap about
"the truth will set you free"?

Every other word
out of Rickett's mouth

was a fabrication.

No, not everything.

(Fin)
The dude couldn't even tell us
about his job.

He kept saying he worked
with hazardous materials.

Okay.

Let's start with that.

Why lie about something
that's insignificant?

(Benson)
Same reason he told his fiancée

that he was
a med student,

just to make himself
look better.

Okay, so let's call
his work and education...

exaggerations?

Vanity lies.

What else?

Everything that went down
in California.

That's a guilt lie.

He attacks
his girlfriend's daughter.

That's incriminating.

It's obvious
why he lied about that.

(Cragen)
Claims he didn't have a car

or access to one.

We can't prove it,
but we know it's false.

No other way
to dump the body in the river.

Guilt.
(Benson)
He's lying about having
a girlfriend now.

You'd think that he'd want us
to know that.

Just to prove
that he doesn't need

to have sex
with little girls.

Did we get the LUDS
on his phone?

(Cragen)
No, we're still waiting.

You think he would tell
a girlfriend about this?

Rickett does work alone,
but if he's hiding her,

maybe he's afraid she'll lead us
in the right direction.

What about his aunt?

(Munch)
Doesn't have one.
So why lie about her?

(Fin)
To explain his move
from California?

A lot better ways to do that.

That means something.

If the phone dump
gives us the girlfriend,

she may be able
to illuminate.

That's good work, Elliot.

Not good enough.

[knocking on door]

Linda Cusick?

Yeah?
Police.

We'd like to talk to you
about your boyfriend, Gordon.

Oh, no.

God, you guys are brutes.

Yeah, did Gordon warn you
we'd be coming around?
No.

But he told me how you framed
him and everything.

How long have you two
been dating?

I don't remember.

And anyways,
we broke up weeks ago,

so I can't help you.

Try again, sweetheart.

You call him twice a day,
every day.

Hey, Linda?

You don't want to lie
to us anymore.

I'm not in the mood.

We've been dating
two months.

Last Sunday night

and Monday morning,
did you see him or speak to him?

No.

Why not?

We don't spend
every second together.

You ever meet his aunt?
No!

He doesn't have any family.

Does he?

Do you have a car?

No.
Who needs a car in New York?

Your boyfriend did.

He ever borrow someone's?

(Linda)
Ask him.

I don't know.
I swear.

I never saw him driving
if that makes you happy.

Linda.

Did he ever make you
dress up, you know,

play games where you're supposed
to be a little girl?

That should set off
some bells.

What is this?

Aphrodite Salon.
What is it?

I'm allowed to take stuff home
to test it out. I work there.

Two blocks from
Kerry Lynn Palmer's apartment.

Sorry, I've never seen her.

Well, have you ever heard
Linda's boyfriend

talking about a girl
named Kerry?

Not that I can remember.

I know Gordon's a thug,

but I didn't think
he was into little kids.

Why do you
call him a thug?

Because all Linda's
boyfriends are.

She picks up guys
in this neighborhood,

even after I've told her
it's not a safe place.

My salon gets robbed,

my car gets stolen--

When did your car
get stolen?

Couple weeks ago.
Did you report it?

Cops said it was probably

just kids, joyriding.

Took it to Staten Island
and torched it.

Staten Island.

Where Dana's body was found.

(Siper)
Fire burned hot and long.

Definitely used
an accelerant,

which means any and all trace
evidence was probably gone.

Now, there's a lot of crap
to sift through in this lot,

but we'll look
at everything.

So other than dumping

Dana MacNamara's body here
14 years ago,

what is his connection
to Staten Island?

Never made one.

So Dana was found
less than a mile from here,

Kerry Lynn was dumped
in the Hudson,

and then he drove
all the way out here

to dump the car.

Why is he
so comfortable here?

He knows this place.

Look at that.

(Benson)
Nursing home.

(Stabler)
Remember what Rickett said?

He'd never put his aunt
in one of those dumps.

He doesn't have an aunt.

(nurse)
They're not really
blood relatives.

Mrs. Larson grew up

with Gordon's mother
back in Illinois.

Is he in trouble?

You could say that.

I just want to know
in case he shows up.

I can't have my patients
in danger.

Why does Mr. Rickett
come here anymore?

His aunt died.

No, she didn't.

She's been paralyzed
for 20 years,

but for her age, Mrs. Larson's
healthy as a horse.

(Mrs. Larson)
Well!

I'm certainly
a popular girl these days.

You getting a lot
of visitors, Mrs. Larson?

Especially since Gordon

is back from India.

He was a Doctor Without Borders,
you know.

Does he come and visit
you a lot?
He's my lifeline.

Now that he's back,

he's taking care of all my--
my finances,

pays all my hospital bills.

What else does Gordon
do for you, Mrs. Larson?

Well, there's the gardening,
of course.

And, uh,
general maintenance.

And he said that he just bought
some new storm windows.

For your house?

He's been taking care of it
until I move back in.

Where's your house?

Car doesn't look like
it's seen the road

since Dana MacNamara's murder.

What do you want to bet
that CSU

could find her DNA
in there?

It's freezing in here.

No heat.

He's taking care
of this place for her?

More like

selling everything
that's not nailed down.

Final notice...

collection agencies...

These are all months old.

He's robbing her blind.

I'm surprised
he didn't just

sell the house
out from under her.

He didn't sell the house because
he needed a place to work.

[switch clicks]

He's paying
the electrical bill.

Hey, Mrs. Larson's

been in a wheelchair
for 20 years.

No way she'd ever
make it down there.

It's like a bunker down here.

Nobody would
ever hear a sound.

We got blood.

Kerry Lynn Palmer
was wearing those

the day she went missing.

[door closes]

(girl)
Please, I want my mom.

Please, I want my mom!
Shut up!

Police!
Get your hands up!

Get 'em up now!

Rickett,
get away from the girl!

(Benson)
Gordon.

There's no way out of this.

Let go of the girl.

Please, he's hurting me!
Ow!

(Stabler)
Rickett, let her go

or I'll kill ya.

You're gonna have
to shoot me.

I swear to God,
I'll kill ya.

It's what you wanted
all these years, isn't it?

Go ahead.
Huh?

Ow!

[girl cries]

[gunshot]

[groans]

[Rickett shouts]

Elliot!

It's over.

Gordon Rickett,
you're under arrest

for the murder
of Kerry Lynn Palmer

and for kidnapping.

You have the right
to remain silent.

You give up that right,
anything you say can and

will be used against you
in a court of law.

You have the right
to an attorney.

If you can't afford one...

[approaching footsteps]

We got there
just in time.

Rickett didn't rape her.

CSU found two types
of blood

in that basement.

One is recent and the other
is likely years old.

Did you think I froze?

Is that why you fired first?

I fired first
'cause you would've killed him.

He deserves to die.

Maybe he does.

But he wanted
you to kill him.

He wanted you

to always remember
that you took his life.

Not because you had to,

but because you were angry.

You wanna get
something to eat?

Come on.

I'm just gonna go home.

[shouting]
