- 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.

- He is scaring my son.

- How?
Because I'm Black?

- We're profiling this guy.

- This is America, 2020.

- He's not helping himself
here.

- Put him in the car.

- Yo, for what?
Man, come on.

- In the car.

- You have the right
to be angry.

- Don't tell me I have a right
to my anger.

- Jayvon Brown has filed
a lawsuit against NYPD.

- You've both been named.

- Chief, we were by the book.

- That's the book
that got us here.

- Law enforcement has lost
all credibility,

and until every one of us takes
a serious self-inventory,

we can't begin to get it back.

- Sorry to interrupt
your Sunday.

I'll try to keep it brief.

- I still have my job?

- We both do, for now.

But I did get a heads-up
from the mayor's office...

about the Jayvon Brown case.

- I heard they were close
to a healthy settlement.

- They were.

Jayvon's bringing in
a new legal team.

They're trying to sync up
their suit

with other pending
lawsuits against NYPD.

- How much do they want?
- It's not about money.

After that report
on how NYPD handled

those BLM demonstrations?

They want the
department's failures

writ large.

- They want change.

So do I.

- Yeah, but that'll just force
the brass

deeper into the bunker.

Instead of meeting the moment,
they're closing ranks.

- So you and I are trapped
in the middle.

- For now, more you.

If those goes to trial, both
the department

and Jayvon's legal team
will scapegoat you.

- So that's why I haven't heard

from IAB
about my investigation.

- Well, aside
from the warnings...

you have any advice?

- Don't wait for IAB
to take action.

Be proactive.
Defend yourself,

Get a lawyer who can work
both sides.

- I appreciate
the transparency.

♪ Then, I would catch you

♪ You need a light,

and give this to her.

Thank you.
And what's your name?

- Forrest.

- Well, thank you, Forrest.

- Are you gonna tell me
where we're going?

- It's a surprise.

- Where's Phoebe?

- She'll meet us there.

Listen, if you're gonna be
a detective,

you gotta learn to ask
smarter questions.

- Wait, what?

- Congratulations.
You're getting promoted.

Liv and Phoebe are meeting us
to celebrate.

Just act surprised,

and tell the captain how much
you learned from her.

- From all of you.

- Yeah, but just polish
that apple.

- It's beautiful.

You know, I don't know
if Finn tells you this,

but... I've never seen
him happier.

- Are you sure you're not
just glad

you don't have to worry
about him anymore?

- [laughs]
Well, that too.

- Here they come.

- Captain, thank you so much
for believing in me.

I will not let you down.

- Really, Finn?

- She dragged it out of me.

- Wow.

Wow.

- Remind me never to tell you
any secrets.

- Nearly $100.
Not a bad take.

- You killed it,

and it'll pay for a few film
festival entries at least.

- Did you get that little boy
putting money in the basket?

That was so sweet.

- You know I did.

- Hey--
it's you guys.

- So sorry to bother you.

You were great.
I just love your voice.

My boy did, too.

- Thank you.

- Mind if I get a photo
with you and my son?

For when you're famous.

- Why don't you get
in the picture, too?

I can take it.
- Thank you.

Okay, come on.

- Will you hold this, babe?

- Here we go.

- Cheese.

all: Cheese.

- That good?

- Oh, perfect.

You all must be cold.

Can we give you a ride?

We have a wheelchair van.

My dad's in a chair.

- I'm fine.

- Alicia, we're due
at my sister's house

for supper.

It's your first time
meeting her.

I don't want to be late.

- Oh, it would be our pleasure,
really.

It's okay with you, right?

- Yeah, sure, why not?

- Okay, well,

it's right over this way.

- Stop crying.
Do what we say.

On your knees.

- Please just let us go.

- We're not playing around.
- Don't hurt her.

I'll do whatever you want.

- Do it.

Pull down her pants.

- [crying] Please...

- Now!

And do...

whatever it is your people do.

♪

.

- Thank you, Captain Curry,
for meeting with me.

- I have to say, I'm not used

to cops under investigation
seeking me out.

- Well, I'm trying
to get a handle

on where things stand.

You know that Jayvon Brown
has a new legal team and--

- I'm well aware.

Your case has taken on
a life of its own.

- And I'm worried
that the department is--

- Gonna hang you out to dry?

- Mm-hmm.

- Sacrifice you so it looks

like they're sending a message?

Don't worry.

It's not official yet,

but the department is taking
a different tack.

They admit to you having made
errors of judgement,

the floodgates will open.

Your lapses compared
to the utter chaos

of how NYPD handled
George Floyd?

Not where they want anyone
to go.

- What are you saying?

- Congratulations.

You're gonna be cleared
of all wrongdoing.

- 1PP, the Puzzle Palace--

they don't want to show
weakness.

- You know, when we first met,
I, um--

I took what you said
very seriously.

About this being an opportunity
for change.

- And since then,
I've had to investigate

a senior official caught making
racist comments

on a public forum

and dozens of gladiator cops

who went far outside the lines
of acceptable behavior.

None of those cases
will go anywhere.

- The department's
not gonna let them back

out on the street, are they?

- They'll move them around.

The financial settlements
come out of the city's budget,

not NYPD's.
- Jayvon Brown's team

does not want money.

They want systematic change.

- De-escalation training,

letting social services handle
some functions,

more civilian oversight?

Acceptance of change
like that?

It has to come from inside.

[phone beeps]

- Thank you.

I have to go.

You've given me a lot to think
about.

- How'd it go with IAB?

- Well, they dropped
the investigation on me.

- Then why don't you look
happy?

- Because all that change
that we thought was coming?

1PP is doing everything
they can to slow it down.

- And that surprised you?

I knew that months ago.

The second Garland told me
that we were at a--

how'd he put it?

A true inflection point.

- Well, Fin,

I actually really believed
that we were.

- Guys like this,

when they see change coming,
they push back.

You see what's going on
with the new voting laws?

- Please--I know, I...

- You know,
my mother always told me,

nobody gives you anything.

If you want something,
you gotta go for it.

- Thank you, Fin.

- You know, speaking of IAB,

did you, uh, tell Stabler
about you and Tucker?

- What? No.

- He has too much going on
as it is.

And to be honest with you,
the last time I saw him,

he flat out told me to--

to leave him alone.

- Well, just so you know,

I mentioned to him
that you were involved

with somebody
while he was gone.

- Did you?

Well, I think right now, that's
the last thing on his mind.

- Sara, it's me again.

Please, call me back.
I'm worried.

- Still no word?

- No, and are you sure

Captain Benson
will take this seriously?

- Absolutely.
- Wait.

What did you tell her about us?

- I, uh,

just said we're friends.

- I know my sister's only been
missing since last night,

but something's wrong.

She would never miss
our Sunday meal,

and she's not answering
her cell.

- So Counselor Carisi
said that--

this might have something to do
with your work

as an advocate?

- Yes, um...

I've been very public
about how missing girls,

women of color,
don't get the same attention

as white women do

from the press
or social media--

- And even the police.

I'm well aware of the problem.

- Several hate groups have
Nicole in their crosshairs.

- I mean, we all get

anonymous hate messages
on our social media,

but for the last few weeks,
I've been getting

threatening messages
on my cell phone.

- What kind of threats?

- "We're watching you,"

"We can take you whenever
we want"--

texts, voicemails.

- Okay, so you're thinking

somebody may have targeted Sara
to get to you?

- That's what I'm afraid of.

I mean,
Sara would never get mixed up

in any kind of trouble.
She's--

she's well-adjusted and smart.

All she does is work.

- And what does she do?

- She's
a documentary filmmaker.

- Does she have a boyfriend
or an ex?

- I don't think so, um,

but, it would be a girlfriend.

But Sara's very private
about that.

- She live alone?

- She has roommates,
but they weren't very helpful.

I went there last night,

and they said they would call

if she showed up.

- Okay, well, we'll still need
to talk to them,

run her phone,
check her computer--

- You can do all that, but...

my gut tells me
this isn't about Sara.

It's something else.

- You need Sara's computer?

Do you have a warrant?

- Your roommate's missing,

something bad happened to her.

I haven't seen Sara in a week.

for a while.

- Do you know where she goes
when she doesn't stay here?

- Her girlfriend's place.

- Sara has a girlfriend?

You tell Nicole that?

- No.

I heard Sara say
she hadn't told her sister

about the relationship yet.

- Nicole knows that Sara's gay.

- It's not just gay.

Her girlfriend, Alicia?

She's white.
She's in a wheelchair.

There's a lot going on.

Are you family?

This white couple with a boy--

his name was Forrest--

they offered us a ride.

They had a wheelchair van.

I didn't get the plates.

- Can you...
tell us what happened?

- We drove
a couple of blocks, um,

and then they dropped off
the woman and the kid,

and the van stopped.

Then the side door opened,
and, um...

a guy got in with a gun.

- I'm so sorry.

They made Sara do things to me,
sexually...

while they videotaped.

When it was over, they threw me
out of the van.

They kept Sara.

- Did you hear them
say anything?

- They laughed.

They said...

if I wanted to see Sara again,

that there would be a video.

- So, wait,
you're telling me...

that Sara is seeing someone?

- For over a year, apparently.

while they videotaped, and...

they told Alicia that they
would post that video,

No.

TARU is working on it.

These guys are on the dark web,

into FBI Hate Crimes.

- The FBI?

They're not even allowed

to investigate those groups.

we're working this case.
We're on this.

why this isn't in the press?

- Wherever they're holding
Sara,

they green screened
the background.

There's no details to even ask
the public about.

Listen, I'm gonna keep
my phone on.

You call me the second

Talk fast.

Tell me how this is happening.

I devote my life to advocating

for missing Black women

listen, that these women?

They're targets.

For traffickers,
for hate crimes.

targeted because of that work?

It's horrifying.

everything that can be done
is being done.

short-staffed right now.

more about victims.

Congratulations.

the same thing.

the department

to own up to their mistakes

and to make changes
moving forward.

- You want that?

- I do, very much.

And I--look,

I get what your lawyers
are going for

with the show trial,
but the fact of the matter is,

there is no amount of publicity

that's gonna move the dial
at 1PP.

- And you're gonna tell me
what will?

- You have allies
in the department.

Deputy inspectors,
IAB investigators who feel

very frustrated that they can't
rid the ranks of bad cops.

- Here it comes.
Now you're gonna tell me

it's just a few bad apples.

- No, but what I will tell you
is that IAB knows

who the macho gladiators are.

And if their investigators
are deposed,

and they are forced to tell
the truth, then, yes,

we can get rid
of the worst cops.

- The police unions
will never let that happen.

They're still
against anti-bias training.

- Exactly, and that's why
the court needs to order it.

With a department-wide
consent decree.

- Go on.

- Push for a new
use of force policy,

community safety partnerships--

- Oh, you're both here.

Um, I'm not sure
you should be--

- It's okay.

We're fine.

Same phrase.

Said he was expanding his crew
into Brooklyn

said he was gonna ignite

the ranks by taking
Black victims.

I thought he was BS-ing me.
- Yeah, he wasn't.

- Yeah, he was cocky, too.

Smarter than most of them,

definitely college-educated.

He had these ideas of grandeur.

He was talking about taking
down Black leaders.

- Well, he's got our attention.

We need to find him.

- Everybody's so paranoid
about UC's,

no one's using
their government name.

They're all just trying to make
sure they're not followed.

and kid, if that helps.

A son named Forrest?

you get the death penalty.

with this.

who IDs you

as using your son to lure them
into the van.

- No, no, my son is innocent.

I want to see him now.

And if they get away with it,

we have you in custody.

- Guilty of accessory to rape,
kidnapping, murder.

Feds won't think twice.
You're getting a needle.

- And your son loses
his mother,

which means that he grows up
in foster care.

But I'm sure
that they'll find a nice...

immigrant family
to care for him.

So why don't you pick up
that phone

and call your husband

and tell him that you are here,

and to call it off?

- It doesn't work like that.

- Get her the feds.
I'm done with her.

- Wait, please--

No, please, wait.

I have no way of getting
in touch

with my husband, I swear.

But the other man?

He's my brother.

He'll listen to me.

- You can call him?
- No,

but I can page him an SOS.

you're gonna die at midnight.

I have a rope.

It's a great American
tradition?

Don't.
