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.

All done. So how's that?

What do you want, a medal?

Now get the cable out of the truck.

By myself?

What are you, some kind of wimp?

Slid the damn thing out.

Damn, rookie!
What the hell's your problem?

Rats.

Son of a bitch.
Can't even curse like a man.

No.

What the hell?

I think there's
something over there.

You ain't gonna last long,

You let a couple rodents scare you.

Where are you going? Zach!

There's something over there.

Oh, my god.

Call an ambulance.

Victim's eight months pregnant.

Lucky she didn't go into labor.

Did you get her name?
Did she tell you what happened?

Just pointed at
her belly and cried.

Is the baby okay?

Ultrasound was normal,

But her pelvic turned up
vaginal trauma and fluids.

Tell me something--

Who the hell rapes
a pregnant woman?

Yeah, well, for every kink,
there's a perv with a dream.

She's behind
curtain number three.

Uh, doctor?

I got to go, detective.

Not until we find our victim.

They let our victim walk
out with a bruised face

And an eight-month belly?

A bus crashed in
the midtown tunnel.

The E.R. Was so chaotic,
nobody noticed she left.

Well, I hope you
didn't call me down here

At the crack of dawn to
lead your search party.

No, Munch and Fin are canvassing.

I called you, because Jane Doe
was the fourth pregnant woman

To be raped in the city this month.

And we're thinking
it's the same guy?

Well, it's the same M.O.

He followed each one of
them out of a subway station

And then raped them at knifepoint.

- Victims give a description?
- Yeah.

Guy wore a stocking mask.
And a condom, too, no doubt.

In the first three attacks--

Either he forgot the condom
this time, or it broke.

Warner is processing the DNA now.

So am I just here to
look at pretty pictures,

Or do you have
something to show me?

Okay, the perp grabbed
his first victim

Coming off the "Q"
train at Prospect Park.

Second victim,
last stop on the number 6.

Victim number three
was raped in a cemetery

In Middle Village
off the "M" train.

Tonight's attack
went down in Harlem

Near the number 2.

These four subway
lines all intersect

In only one place in
the five burroughs.

City Hall station.

Subway lines all connect
to his comfort zone.

Perp does the deed

And only has to
take one train home.

Pregnant woman's an easy target.

She'll do anything the perp wants,

Because she wants
to protect her baby.

So...

You doing anything to stop him?

SVU base to portable,
status report.

Lousy. CSU grid-searched
the park and found squat.

Hey! Anybody check that car?

Stand by, Captain.

That's a lot of parking tickets.

Traffic should have
moved this days ago.

This car's full of crap.

Hey, yo! Police. Anybody home?

What time is it?

It's time for you to
answer some questions.

Come on. - Hey,
that's my clean laundry.

Yeah, yeah. What's your name?

My friends call me Flossie.

Do you have to do
that in front of me?

Hey, do I look like I
have dental insurance?

I got enough problems
without gingivitis.

Between your plaque removal,

You hear or see anything
unusual last night?

Oh, you mean the pregnant
girl getting raped?

- You saw the rape?
- I heard her screaming first.

This crazy language-
"ish-kabish-ash-kabish-kabob"--

Something like that.
Oh, wow, you know what that is?

Spare me. What happened?

I took a look.

Bastard was doing her from behind.

He had a big-ass knife.

He waved it at me when
I told him to stop.

I ran back to the car.
So you got a good look at him.

Sure did. He walked right past me

As he was taking the
underwear off his head.

No. The--the nose was
a little smaller.

And...

The eyes were farther apart.

Yeah, but now the hair's not right.

Flossie's gums may be gross,

But at least he's got good recall.

We'll send the sketch
to every precinct,

Transit district,
and subway station booth.

Where are we on the victim?

Nothing from missing persons,

But Flossie says she was
speaking a foreign language.

Well, if she's illegal,

That would explain why she
ran from the hospital.

Take her photo over to ice,
see if she's on their radar.

No american embassy will
give a visa to pregnant woman

In her third trimester.

So that whole "bring
us your tired, your poor,

Your yearning to breathe
free" thing was bull?

They sneak in, drop their litter.

Little tykes go right
on the federal teat,

And we pay for the milk.

Spoken like a true racist.

Well, I'll be damned.

Embassy in Bulgaria
made an exception.

Sophia Zorav,

Admitted on a b-2 tourist visa.

Sudden death in the family.

How many pounds of flesh
you people take from her

To prove it? - Death certificate

And funeral notice for her uncle.

She was staying at his house
with her aunt Lili Denkova,

The widow, in Harlem.

That's Sophia.

Oh, god, not this, not now.

All that flying--

"you'll harm the baby," I told her.

But Sophia wouldn't
take no for an answer.

She was...

Very close to her uncle.

We're very sorry for your loss.

I was so busy with the funeral.

I never got to call her again.

Why call if she was staying here?

Because she never arrived.

Sophia flew in
to kennedy airport.

Yes. I went to pick her up,

Waited for her to
come through customs,

But she never did.

I tried her cell phone,

but it went to voice mail, so...

I just assumed that
she changed her mind.

Is there anyone else here
that she may have contacted?

No. I am all Sophia
has in this country.

Well, she still may try
to get in touch with you,

So please call me if she does.

And to call me if you
find her first, please.

Warner got a hit on
the DNA from Sophia.

Rapist's name is Donovan Black,

Lives right by city hall.

Munch and Fin are on him right now.

Where are you two
lovebirds going?

What the hell's it to you, pops?

- Let go of her, black.
- Why? She's my girlfriend.

- He's got a knife.
- And I got a gun. Drop it.

- You okay?
- He...

He said he'd cut my baby
if I didn't come with him.

Donovan black,
you're under arrest for rape.

- I didn't rape anyone.
- Shut up, knucklehead.

We got a witness.

That's the guy-- number 4.

Where you recognize him from?

That's the guy I saw
raping the pregnant woman

In central park.

Are you sure?

He looks exactly like the
description I gave you.

Lighten up, Flossie. Let's go.

Oh, great.

Where's the victim? - In the wind.

- Then so is our case.
- He saw him in the act.

He's a freak.

I can't charge rape on the
word of a tooth fairy.

The semen found in
Sophia is a 13-point match

To Black's DNA.

That's enough to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt

That a rape occurred.

I can't take this to court
without a victim's statement,

Let alone without a victim.

Black's defense will
rip this to shreds.

We let that creep go...

He rapes another pregnant woman,

The next baby may not be so lucky.

All right, arrest him.

But find Sophia. - Ice called.

State department
just busted a clerk

At the U.S. Embassy in Bulgaria.

Turns out he was being paid
off to issue Sophia's visa.

Paid? By whom?

Well, I bet you
Lili Denkova knows.

Her husband's funeral-- uh,
it never happened.

He's still alive?

She's never been married.

Why would Lili bring
Sophia into this country

And then lie to us about it?

Maybe she took off so she
wouldn't have to tell us.

Or something worse happened.
The place is torn apart.

SVU portable to central-
request backup.

112 west 1-1-4.

Ms. Denkova? Police.

Liv...

We got a blood trail
leading out the back.

Looks like Lili left
her brains behind.

Well, who the hell took her body?

Even without a body,

It's still a murder,
right? - Absolutely.

No one could survive losing
this much brain matter.

It's got to be Lili,
unless Sophia came back here.

There must be a toothbrush
inside with Lili's DNA

That I could use to
make a positive I.D.

Six ballistic impact marks

Right where the victim's head was--

Shooter stood over her,
fired straight down.

And right into the stones,

So the slugs are
destroyed on impact.

He had to have used a silencer.

Neighbors would have heard.
Well, he tore the place apart.

Think our killer got what he wanted

Before he blew Lili's brains out?

No, but I did.

Found this under the bathroom sink.

Doesn't sound like
scrubbing bubbles to me.

Oh, phony stash can.

And the prize inside
is a cell phone.

Well, she obviously didn't
want anyone finding this.

We got 40 calls...

But to only three
different numbers.

Neighbors saw the
body snatchers--

Two guys carrying a rolled-up rug

Out the front door around
11:00 last night.

- Where'd they put it?
- In an SUV--

No make, no plates,
no further description of the perps.

Sorry, wrong number.

Any luck?

First number was disconnected.
The second one was blocked.

The third belongs to an ob-gyn--

A Dr. Stephen Elroy.

Yeah, sure, I remember them.

So, it sounds like they're
not regular patients.

No, they called,

And they asked if I could
see them right away.

- Same-day service-
- that's impressive.

Well, the older one said
her niece fell in the tub.

She asked me to check the baby.

I mean, what was I
gonna do, say no?

Benson.

Did Sophia have any
reason to be worried?

Not really.
She had some spotting,

Belly pains.

I did an ultrasound, examined her.

Everything looked fine.

So you didn't notice
the pelvic trauma

And the massive bruise on her face.

Of course I did.
I told you, she fell.

On her face and her vagina?

And you didn't suspect foul play?

Any sign of sexual assault
or domestic violence,

I call you guys.

Hey, what kind of
investigation is this, anyway?

Homicide.

Who's dead,
the woman or the girl?

Why would you think
it's one of them?

Doctor, thank you
so much for your time.

Um, if we need anything else,
we'll be in touch.

Anything I can do to help.

So why'd you shut me down?

Not me--Cragen.

I pulled the death certificate

For Lili Denkova's
phony husband, Dmitri.

Look who signed it.

Dr. Stephen Elroy.

Most obs only sign
birth certificates.

You don't think Stephen
Elroy killed Lili?

Nah, I don't think Dr.
Bozo would hurt a fly.

But he's definitely involved.

He had Lili on a
secret speed dial--why?

100 bucks says the owner of
the blocked cell number knows.

I don't know, but whatever
you guys stepped in,

I'm starting to smell
the stink on me.

Oh, courtesy of Donovan Black.

He blew the lid off this
garbage by raping Sophia.

And Dr. Elroy is our only link.

I think it's time to put

Something tighter than a
stethoscope around his neck.

He'll just lawyer up.

Well, then let's subpoena
the blocked cell number

And see who answers the phone.

Honey, the police are here.

Police? Something wrong?

I'm detective Stabler-- my partner,
detective Benson.

We'd like to ask you
a few questions.

- What about?
- Phone calls...

You made to Lili Denkova.

Before my clients say a word,
I want it understood.

No crime's been committed.

Well, then I'm sure
they won't mind telling us

About their chat with Lili Denkova.

Beth and I got married
eight years ago.

We've been trying ever
since to get pregnant.

We have everything in the world

Except the one thing
we really want--

A baby.

You try I.V.F.?

With Dr. Elroy.

Artificial insemination--

Six rounds of in vitro,
three with donor eggs,

And nothing worked.

So we thought we would adopt,

But...

Glenn was arrested back in '98

For domestic battery.

False accusation by his ex-wife
during a nasty divorce.

The judge dismissed the charge.

So that's on your record,

And no adoption
agency will touch you.

We were just about to give
up when Lili Denkova called.

Right, two days ago,
according to your phone records.

She said she was
referred by Dr. Elroy.

That a baby was about
to be available

For a quick, private adoption.

We were so desperate.

Hey.

Get an I.D. On our homicide victim?

Dna from the remains
matches genetic material

On Lili's toothbrush.

Who are they?

The couple that was
gonna buy Sophia's baby

With Lili's help.

So Lili was a baby trafficker.

I'll say. We hit a gold mine.

Lili used bogus death certificates

To bring three other
pregnant women here

From Bulgaria for sham funerals.

Easiest way to traffic infants

Is inside their mother's womb.

The fetus isn't legally a person,

So no crime is committed
until it's born

And a sale actually takes place.

All made to look
like private adoption.

So what happened to
the other three mothers?

Well, their visas expired,
but they never left the country.

If you ask me,
the traffickers bought them

The same one-way ticket
to wherever Lili is.

Which means as soon
as Sophia has this baby,

She's dead.

The medical examiner confirms...

Lili Denkova's been murdered.

Oh, my god.

My clients had nothing
to do with this.

But the woman whose baby
that they were about to adopt

Could be in danger.

We need your help.

When was the last
time you were contacted?

this morning.

Lili was killed two nights ago.

Did Dr. Elroy contact you?

Another man... Named Mr. Brooks.

He's supposed to come to the
apartment tomorrow at noon.

He said he wanted to be sure

That the baby was
gonna get a good home.

The only reason Mr.
Brooks is making a home visit

Is to be sure the Butlers
can cough up the big money.

Well, how much we talking about?

Well into six figures.

Child trafficking

Is a $5 to $7 billion-a-year
industry worldwide.

Well, now that Lili's dead,
do we have any idea

Where our traffickers
might be stashing Sophia?

Yeah, I checked with interpol.

These guys usually rent a space,

Equip it for labor and delivery,

And keep some doctor like
Stephen Elroy on call.

Sophia's not due for
another several weeks.

That's a long time to sit on Elroy.

Well, it sounds
like this Mr. Brooks

Is the guy in charge.

And we know exactly where he's
gonna be tomorrow afternoon.

Mr. Brooks...

Welcome to our home.

- Ms. Butler.
- Please, call me Beth.

This is my husband, Glenn.
Hi. Nice to meet you.

Can I get you a drink? - Uh, no.
No, thank you.

Well, I can't tell you
how grateful we are.

Well, your home is magnificent.

Uh, what do you do for living?

I own a confection company.

Hmm. Uh, confections?

- Candy.
- Ah.

Been in my family for,
like, over 100 years.

So, uh, sweets for children
pays for all this, huh?

We've been very fortunate

ex--except for...

Okay. It's gonna be okay.

Mr. Brooks is here to help us.

You two will be
wonderful parents.

Thank you.

So, uh...

Should we discuss business?

- It's very simple-
- half a million dollar cash.

The first payment of half tomorrow,

The balance on delivery.

Where should I bring it?

You will wait for
my instruction, hmm?

excuse me for a second.

Oh, congratulations.

It's a boy.

- wow!
- Oh, god.

He's beautiful.

Is the mother okay?

She's not your concern.

I need a name for
birth certificate.

- Oliver, after her father.
- Mm-hmm.

I can't wait to tell my mother.

You will say nothing to anyone...

Until baby's in your possession.

Otherwise, you will
never see Oliver, huh?

- When do we get our boy?
- When I call you.

Any word when Brooks
is gonna give you

Sophia's baby? - Not yet.

But Sophia's rape
put us on his tail.

He's got to know it.
His only choice

Is to kill Sophia and Dr.
Elroy and skip town.

Well, I'm Brooks, I'd keep
Sophia alive to nurse the baby

Until I make the drop.

Well, either way,
we don't have much time.

Where's doc Elroy now?
He's got to be with Sophia.

His office said that he
called in sick today.

We got a bead on Brooks?

Fin tailed him from the Butlers',

And we haven't heard
from him since.

- That's 'cause I lost him.
- What happened?

Changed cabs in the
middle of the street.

I don't think he made me,

But this guy doesn't
want to be followed.

Because he's mutri,
the bulgarian mob.

Interpol I.D.'d him

Off the hidden-camera photos
from the Butlers' apartment

As Anton Petrov.

You mean our baby smuggler

Works with the bulgarian
national police?

Used to--Petrov was the head
of their antiterrorism unit

Till he crossed over
to the dark side.

He vanished in '06

After a dozen people witnessed him

Shoot a journalist in
the head six times.

That's the same way
Lili Denkova got it.

I got the subpoena.

The tap on Elroy's cell
phone should be up.

Okay, the phone's GPS
has Elroy in Harlem--

131st street,

Just west of Broadway.

There's a lot of
warehouses up there.

One of them should
be Petrov's hospital.

Hold on, hold on.

My Glenn Butler cell phone
just received a text

From a blocked call.

"exchange at 3:00 p.M.
, Morningside Park."

That's in two hours.

If Sophia's alive,
she's not gonna be for long.

Let's get E.S.U.
Up to that warehouse.

We'll take Petrov there. - No.

I need to catch him in the act.

Morningside is too risky.
It's wide open.

There's no cover to hide backup.

Then I'm making it an order.
Morningside, now.

You're the boss in court,
counselor, not here.

And I am telling you

That unless Liv and Elliot
buy that baby from Petrov,

I can't charge him.

Jo. Jo!

- Are you following me?
- You're damn right I am.

What's your beef, Captain?

You throwing my
people into the fire.

I'll do whatever it
takes to get Petrov.

Is that what you
said back in '95?

Oh, yeah.

I remember why you really
retired, Lieutenant.

I was tired of seeing those
creeps I collared get off.

You sure it wasn't
a guilty conscience?

That dirt bag ordered a drive-by

That murdered three children.

And to get him,

You burned two of your undercovers,

Detectives with families.

Command decision.

You put your
troops in harm's way.

Nothing I wouldn't
have done myself.

You're not a cop anymore.

Elliot can handle himself...

Olivia too.

I'm not betting
their lives on that.

E.S.U. Will be standing
by outside the park.

If Petrov sees them,

It'll be a bloodbath.

Command decision.

Any ideas?

Over there, by the light.

Mr. Brooks.

Mr. Butler.

Do you have the money? - Yes, sir.

- Do you have our baby?
- Yeah, in the backseat.

Let's go.

Uh, put the bag
on the car, please.

Hey, what are you doing?
Get off me!

Well, you've got the money.
Leave him alone.

Just making sure.

Please...

Just give us our baby.

You have our baby, don't you?

The birth certificate
is underneath.

Take him and go.

- No! No, please!
- No!

Don't do this! Don't do this!

Who you calling, Petrov?

- What did you call me?
- Petrov, you son of a bitch.

Move, and you're dead.

No! No!

Please!

Drop it! Drop it! Police!

Put your hands where
I can see them!

- Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
- Turn around.

You're under arrest.

Sophia...

Are you okay?

We're gonna get you
to a real hospital.

- You okay, Captain?
- Yeah.

Police, Sophia.

Do you speak english?

I have nothing to say to you.

- We're here to help you.
- If I talk, I die...

And my baby too.

No one can touch you here.
Anton Petrov is in jail.

I don't know any Anton Petrov.

I saw your baby boy.

He's beautiful.

What's his name?

He doesn't have one yet.

He is safe?

Very.

We can protect you.

no, you can't.

Nobody can.

They're everywhere.

Sophia, listen to me.

If you don't help us,

They're gonna steal more
babies and kill more mothers,

Just like the three before you.

Please, Sophia...

You can have a life with your baby.

Selling your baby is a
crime in america, yes?

Not if they forced you to do it.

Is that what happened, Sophia?

Did they pay you?

Did they promise you

A better life in this
country for your boy?

Or did you owe them money...

And they've made you pay them back

With your own flesh and blood?

Nobody forced me.

I'm a criminal in your country.

Give me my baby and send
me back to Bulgaria.

Deport me.

I will never testify
against Petrov.

Your government
will just deport me.

My government doesn't
deport killers.

Hmm.

If I'm a killer,
why haven't you charged me, hmm?

Who did I kill?

We found what's
left of Lili Denkova.

Who?

The den mother for your
bulgarian baby mama operation.

Mm-hmm. And, uh,
who's this whore?

that woman is the prosecutor

Who's gonna put you away.

Mm.

I, uh, see the blood.

Did you find the body?

Did anyone see me
shoot this Lili, hmm?

We know you killed her...

For letting Sophia Zorav
escape and get raped.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

But I do hope

You find that swine who
raped that poor girl, hmm?

He's in jail,
and you'll be joining him.

I don't see how.

I'll tell you how.

Lili ratted you out
before you whacked her.

Mm-hmm.

She gave a full
statement to a judge.

Now, that is just as good

As if she were sitting
on the witness stand.

Mm-hmm.

She told us everything, Petrov--

How you snuck those women in,
how you sold their babies.

And then murdered
those poor mothers,

Just like you were gonna
kill Sophia and Dr. Elroy.

And guess what there, dirt bag.

We've got them too.

Ah.

You guys...

You have nothing.

There are no witnesses.
There will be no witnesses.

Now, uh...

I would like my lawyer
to join us, huh?

- Nice try on the bluff.
- Prick thinks he's teflon.

He's right. Sophia's too
scared to testify against him.

- You can count Elroy out.
- Why? He lawyer up?

He refused counsel as soon
as I read him his rights.

He said he'd plead guilty and
go to prison before he'd talk.

Look at that poor bastard.

He's terrified.

Yeah, not nearly enough for me.

You're a schmuck, doc.

You think by not talking
you're safe? Wrong.

Petrov thinks you set him up.

- Set him up? How?
- You recruited the Butlers

To buy Sophia's baby.

And now he's convinced
you sold him out

To save your own ass.

You see how that works?

Yeah, but I didn't sell him out.

This is what he
did to Lili Denkova.

The only reason he
left you breathing

Was to deliver Sophia's baby.

He was about to order your
execution when we stopped him.

Doctor, you are a liability.
Petrov is a thug.

The only thing he
cares about right now

Is staying out of prison.

You are a loose end
that needs tying up.

Yeah? Well, he can't
get to me if I'm in jail.

Honey, you could take
a spaceship to mars,

And he would be there waiting
for you when you landed.

Your only chance
is talking to us.

Yeah--well, how?

Witness protection,
if you cooperate.

Yeah, well, that's not enough.

This guy likes to shoot
people in the head.

And can you guarantee that
he won't know where I am?

Cross my heart and hope to die.

You better hope to die

If you're talking to my client
without his attorney present.

John Buchanan.

Branching out to mobsters
around the world?

I didn't call an attorney.

It's taken care of, Dr. Elroy.

And you have nothing more to say.

Elroy was gonna turn. We had him.

Well, now we're doubly screwed.

That's Buchanan's partner,
Marty Cranston,

Here to rep Petrov, no doubt.

Well, if Elroy cooperates,

He's got to tell his lawyer,
who tells his partner.

Gets back to Petrov,
Elroy's dead,

Along with our case.

The only thing we
have left is Sophia.

Sophia's gone.

She escaped from
the hospital again?

Two ice agents were
driving her and her baby

To a detention
center near fort dix.

The car exploded.

They're all dead.

Surveillance cameras at fort dix

Caught the explosion.

Friend at the FBI
passed me the tape.

well, Petrov said no witnesses.

He's keeping his promises.

Now we just have to prove it.

Well, we're not gonna prove jack.

Sophia and her baby were
our victims and your witness.

You know that Petrov murdered her.

And two federal agents
on federal property.

Fibbies won't let us near it,

And you two already have
bull's-eyes on your backs.

I'm putting protective
details on both of you.

We don't need a bunch
of cops tailing us.

Undercover d.A.'s investigators.

You'll never make them.

Okay, so what about Elroy?
I mean...

He's got to be next
on Petrov's hit list.

He's a sitting duck in jail.

He thinks Petrov is
gonna let him slide

If he pleads guilty and
keeps his mouth shut.

John Buchanan's never
gonna let that happen.

How do the defendants plead?

Not guilty.

Not guilty.

- Bail, Ms. Marlowe?
- Remand.

Mr. Petrov is wanted
for murder in Bulgaria,

Which presents a huge flight risk,

As does Dr. Elroy.

- Your Honor--
- sorry, counselor.

This one's a no-brainer.

The defendants are
remanded without bail.

Let's take 15.

Ms. Marlowe.

Dr. Elroy slipped this
to me back in lockup.

It's for you. - Thanks.

Thanks. Marlowe.

Too bad you're never
gonna make it to trial.

Suppress evidence?
On what grounds?

The police claim my client
signed a bogus death certificate

For Lili Denkova's bogus husband.

Claim?

Look and see.

Ms. Marlowe used that document

To obtain subpoenas for Dr.
Elroy's phone records...

- Yes.
- And warrants to tap his phone.

- Clever of me, wasn't it?
- No, it was stupid.

Dr. Elroy's signature was forged.

- Can you prove it?
- Our expert will testify

That the signature
on that certificate

Is not my client's. - Really?

And how much are you
paying your expert?

Enough.

This person is available to
appear at a suppression hearing?

Yeah, and Dr. Elroy will testify

That he had nothing to do
with those phony documents.

I'll read your papers, Mr.
Buchanan,

And I'll get back to you-- now,
I got to go.

- Your Honor--
- no, I really mean it.

I have to go. - Me too.

Are you stalking me, counselor?

I need to talk to you.

In here? And ex parte?

You'll understand
when you read this.

It's a note from Dr. Elroy.

"I don't trust my lawyer.

Help me!"

What the hell is this?

It's the answer to
your little cry for help.

Does my attorney
know that I'm here?

- Trevor Langan-
- I'm your attorney now.

I don't understand.

It's called a shadow counsel.

It's the only way we
can keep you safe.

Yeah, but...

If I fire my lawyer,

Then Petrov will know
I'm ratting him out,

And then I'm dead.

You're not gonna fire Buchanan.

You're gonna do everything he says.

Your shadow counsel, Mr. Langan,

Will represent your real interests.

- And Buchanan and Petrov-
- they won't find out?

Not unless you tell them.

All right, then.

I accept.

So now what?

I make a deal for
your cooperation.

Dismissal of all charges,
immunity from prosecution,

And witness protection.

In exchange for his
sworn confession.

- In court?
- Here, in chambers.

A secret in-camera hearing

With the record sealed.

And I tell you everything?

Everything except what
you hear in meetings

Between you, Buchanan,
Petrov, and his attorney.

Done.

All right.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

How am I gonna testify
at the evidence hearing

With him as my lawyer?

You're not.

Buchanan will still
be your attorney.

You'll answer all of his questions.

Yeah, but if I tell
the truth out there,

Then I'm dead!

Go ahead.

You're not gonna tell the truth.

So you want me to lie...

Under oath, in front of a judge.

In front of me.

As long as you tell
the truth in here,

There's no crime.

Dr. Elroy,

Do you recognize this document?

Well, it's a death certificate

For Lili Denkova's husband, Dmitri.

That's your signature
at the bottom, isn't it?

It's my signature,
but it must have been forged.

I've never seen this piece
of paper before in my life.

Yes, I signed the
death certificate.

At whose bequest?

Lili Denkova.

She handled the paperwork,

And she kept the
mothers under wraps

Until they gave birth.

When did you first meet Lili?

The day she brought Sophia in.

So she never tried to involve you

In any baby-smuggling ring.

Absolutely not.

Lili offered me 20,000 in cash

For every baby I delivered.

I told her to get lost

Until she threatened
to expose me for, um...

I'll let him answer

If whatever he says is
covered by immunity.

As long as it's
not a violent crime.

Expose you for what?

Insurance fraud.

I don't know how she found
out I was double billing,

But she threatened to turn me in.

And she was still gonna pay me.

Did Lili Denkova pay you
to recruit infertile couples

To buy children?

Of course not.
I only met her once.

When was the first time
you met Anton Petrov?

The night I delivered
Sophia Zorav's baby.

Did you see Anton Petrov
murder Lili Denkova?

No.

Do you have knowledge that
he murdered Lili Denkova?

You swore to tell
the truth, doctor.

I know where her body is buried.

There's a cemetery in the Bronx.

Petrov knows a guy
from the old country

Who makes coffins
with false bottoms.

Lili's buried under some
lady who died of a stroke.

Thank you, Dr. Elroy.
Nothing further.

Ms. Marlowe.

I have no questions
for the defendant.

And I'm moving that the
defense's motion to suppress

Be denied.

Not so fast.

Judge Quinn...

I have a few more
questions for Dr. Elroy.

- The people object.
- I've just been informed

That the people,
in cahoots with the police,

Have found Lili Denkova's body.

And there's only one person

Who could have told them
where it was buried.

Isn't that right, doctor?

Don't answer that. Objection.

Beyond the scope of the hearing.

- I was just trying to help--
- enough, doctor.

Objection sustained.

Dr. Elroy,

Did you learn of the location
of Lili Denkova's body

In a private conference

With you, Mr. Petrov, and myself?

Upon advice of counsel,

I am invoking my
fifth amendment right

Against self-incrimination.

I'll take that as a yes.

Did you relay the
information to Ms. Marlowe

Before or after
becoming her informant?

I'm not their informant.

Doctor, did Ms.
Marlowe and the judge

Tell you it was okay
to lie under oath

In this proceeding?

Come on!

You can tell me. I'm your lawyer.

Or am I? - You're out of order,

Mr. Buchanan.
No, you're out of order!

You and Ms. Marlowe
have perpetrated a fraud

Upon this court.

Your Honor, the people are
going to ask the Grand Jury

To indict Mr. Petrov for
the murder of Lili Denkova.

Based on information from him?

I am moving that Ms. Denkova's body

Be excluded as evidence,

As it was illegally obtained,

Because Dr. Elroy violated
attorney-client privilege.

Counsel, in chambers...

Right now!

Judge Quinn ruled Lili's
body out as evidence.

Do we have any idea
how Buchanan found out?

Someone in the
cemetery tipped him off.

Well, those attorney-client
meetings were the only way

Elroy could have known
where Lili was buried.

Well, we told Elroy

He wasn't to disclose
anything he heard there.

So instead of being helpful,
he screwed us.

That's why I screwed him.

Well, we still have
his sworn confession.

Buchanan claims we coerced
Elroy into giving it.

He's moving to have it thrown out.

And without it,
we can't charge Petrov

With Lili's murder.

How much trouble are
you and the judge in?

Worst we'll probably
get is censure

From the disciplinary committee,
but it's worth it.

I don't see how.

You will.

This is getting tiresome.

What now?

I thought we'd give you one
last chance to make a deal.

Why? You have no
useable evidence,

No witnesses-- therefore, no case.

Hmm. Really?

Really.

That's right.

The feds found the bomb your
people put under her car...

Before it exploded.

They blew up the car
with no one in it.

So you'd think Sophia was dead.

You will not open your mouth.

Not a word.

I'm not afraid of you anymore.

Sophia...

Tell us what happened.

This pig... Came to Lili's house

The night after I was raped.

He took me and Lili to the patio.

He made her lie on the ground,
and he said...

"watch."

and then he shot her in the head.

He said the same thing
would happen to me

If his property,
my baby, was damaged!

I will kill you!

I told them everything!

How you forced me
to give up my baby

To pay back you and your mobsters!

You're dead,
you hear me? You're dead.

Your baby is dead.

Your parents in Bulgaria are dead!

We brought her parents here,

So your people can't touch them.

You will never hurt
another girl again,

Because you'll rot in
the american prison.

I never go to prison, never!

You understand, bitch?

Never! Never go to prison!

Never!

- Yeah, tough guy-
- folded like a little bitch.

Yeah, well, life without
parole looked pretty sweet

When he heard the feds
wanted to fry him.

He's just lucky that Sophia
didn't get her hands on him.

Aleksander and
me will get asylum?

Uh, you will, but this
little man doesn't need it.

See, he was born here,

So he's automatically a
U.S. Citizen.

Good luck.

Thank you... For everything.

Elroy's off the hook too.

U.S. Marshals are
picking him up tomorrow

To put him in witness protection.

You lied to us,
Jo... Right to our faces.

You said that Sophia was dead.

I was protecting our victim.

I needed an ace in the hole.

Why didn't you trust us?

I couldn't take the chance

That Petrov had his
guys trailing you.

Well, you know, partners
put their cards on the table.

Well, like my
grandmother always said...

The strongest cards you have are
the ones you haven't played.
