_

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.

_

With us today

the greatest
basketball player ever!

_

He retired three years ago

And his legacy has only grown
in his absence.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the one and the only,

Shakir "The Shark" Wilkins.

As my daughter mentioned,

today's a very special day
at Orion Bay.

Today we are announcing
the worst-kept secret

in the garment industry:

Shakir's contract
has been renewed.

He's not only a great warrior,
he's an even greater role model.

And he will always be a part
of our Orion Bay family.

Shakir.

Thank you, Mr. Bauer.

It's an honor, a privilege,

and one hell of a payday.

We'll take questions now,

we'll start with Al Trautwig.

- What's up?
- Hey.

Shakir looks...

- Good.
- Right.

Most of those guys get a little
chubby after they retire.

I swear I didn't have
a gambling problem

till he left the game.

I never lost a dollar
betting on him.

That's my boy.

- Nice job.
- Thank you, sir.

Well, I don't understand.
Where is it?

- What's going on, honey?
- Shakir's driver's gone awol.

Well, uber it.

Carla can go with.

Um, can't someone else do that?

Is there a problem?

Shakir.

Carla will get you out of here,
let's go.

Hi, yes...

Get off of me!

You can't shut me up!

I'm not your thot, you can't
just make this go away!

- He knows what he did!
- Carla, that's enough!

Your life just gets
to go on, huh?

More money, more fame,

- no responsibility!
- Get her out of here,

get her out of here!
Get off of me!

- The hell is she talking about?
- Dad, let's go.

Let's go, please.

You can't shut me up!
I'm not your thot...

What's going on?

Uh, breaking news at Orion Bay.

You know Shakir Wilkins?

Uh, America's hero?
Yeah.

Not anymore.

Get your hands off of me!

He's not a role model,
he's a rapist!

He raped me!

When did this happen?

Half hour ago.
Want me to talk to this girl?

Where are Fin and Rollins?

- At a working lunch.
- Get 'em back in here.

- sync and corrections by Zac -
- www.MY-SUBS.com -

Do I have to talk about this?

Well, we have a video of you
attacking Shakir,

so if he presses charges,
this might help.

If he presses charges?
He assaulted me.

It didn't look that way
on the tape.

She's not talking about today.

Are you, Carla?

No.

I'm talking about Memorial Day.

Three months ago?

Carla, why don't you
have a seat?

A summer kick-off
in the Hamptons.

I drove Shakir back to the city

and he invited me to his hotel
for a nightcap.

At the bar,
or did you go to his room?

The last thing I remember...

Was having a drink with him
at the hotel bar.

One drink.

I woke up in his room.

In his bed, naked and sore.

Did you go to the hospital
afterwards,

or call a doctor?

No.

What was I gonna do?
I don't remember anything.

What made you decide
to confront him today,

at a press event?

There was a problem
with his car,

and so I was told to get Shakir
back to his hotel.

It triggered me.

Look, this is a mistake, okay?

There's nothing that you guys
can do about it,

and I'm probably gonna lose
my job as it is...

Hold on, hold on, one sec.

What do you mean by that,
"lose your job"?

Are you serious?

Shakir Wilkins is
the face of Orion Bay.

It's like peeing
on Mount Rushmore.

I mean, Mr. Bauer said it
back then:

"No good can come from this."

You told Mr. Bauer
about the rape?

Yes, he said that
maybe I was confused,

or that... my feelings were hurt

because Shakir didn't
send flowers.

Mr. Bauer said that if I kept
the conversation between us,

he'd recommend a bonus
every time that my name came up.

And Carla, can you...
Prove that?

Last week I got $5,000.

There's really
nothing to talk about.

Girls throw themselves at Shakir
all the time.

Why would he need
to rape somebody?

I know what you mean,
but isn't it possible

you were also trying
to protect your company's image?

My father volunteered
to speak with you.

We actually prefer
to speak to witnesses

without family members present.

Cordelia is not just my vp,
she's also my lawyer,

so she stays.

Want to tell us about
the bonus you gave Carla?

There were no payments
of any kind.

And what about
the extra $5,000 last week?

Was that
a performance incentive?

Orion Bay is a family.
We take care of each other.

When she came to me,

she said that she did not
remember all the details.

But she's a good kid.

Maybe she got a little drunk.

I didn't want any hard feelings.

The problem is, it looks
like you're covering up a rape.

My father is blameless here.

An unstable employee made
unsupported allegations.

If she thought she was raped,

why didn't she report that
to the police?

She has now.

Shakir is like a son to me.

He would not do
something like this.

Let me talk to the boy,
I'll see what he has to say.

Don't do that.

It's an official
police investigation,

so any conversation you have
with Shakir, either of you,

could be misconstrued
as conspiracy.

All right, let's go, let's go!
Snap that wrist, c'mon!

Let's see that crossover,
whaddya got, whaddya got? C'mon!

There you go. There you go!

Next time, next time, let's go,
keep it going.

Whaddya got, whaddya got,
whaddya got?

There you go, good job,
good job!

Hey, Shakir!
Can we talk to you for a minute?

All right, keep it going,
guys, keep it going,

I'll be right there.

We just need to ask you
a few questions.

What's this about, Carla?

Look, she obviously has
emotional problems

but I don't want
to press any charges.

That's not what this is about.

She's accusing you of rape,
Mr. Wilkins.

Look, like I said,
she has emotional problems,

and I hope she gets
the help she needs.

Hmm.

And how long have you known her?

Girls like that, they come
and go with the company.

What, maybe a year?

But you spent Memorial Day
with her, right?

And she drove you back
to your hotel?

Yeah, yeah, uh...
My town car overheated,

and she drove me back
into the city.

To your hotel.
Did anything happen?

We had a drink at the bar,
a bite to eat, then she left.

And that's it.

Yeah.

Because, um...

She says you drugged her, you
took her back up to your room,

and you raped her.

That's insane.
That did not happen.

Then why would she say it did?

But... this...

This is nothing but a shakedown.

She came at you for money?

No... but she will.

I'm going through a divorce
right now... a custody battle.

It's in the papers.
She knows about it.

Yeah, we get that.

Look, I feel badly
for this girl.

I'm trying
not to overreact here,

but if anyone was assaulted it
was me, in that elevator.

You want to press charges,
then?

Yeah, maybe I should talk to
my lawyer at this point,

to protect myself, okay?

In the meantime I have
to get back to these kids.

Shakir, how long
you gonna be in town?

Few more events,
just for the week.

'Cause if you leave, you need
to tell us where you're going.

Look, something set Carla off.

It happened three months ago.

But she waits until all
the hotel video's been erased

and she's got
a lobby full of press?

Putting on a show
for the security cameras.

Shakir thinks it's a shakedown.
He's going through a divorce.

Come on, guys, I don't want to
hear that women lie,

and that Shakir is a hero

and he never could have done
such a thing.

This is SVU, and we
take disclosures seriously.

Copy that, sergeant, but...

For what it's worth?

Shakir's been a public figure
for what, 20 years?

There's never been a whisper
about anything like this,

this is just like
coming out of nowhere.

And, this girl can't remember
any details.

- Exactly.
- Guys...

We've had cases
where athletes drug women.

Rollins, are you with us?

Uh... yeah... it's...
My old captain in Atlanta.

A girl down there claims that
Shakir did the same thing to her

after seeing him on the news.

Ah.
They're piling on now, huh?

Okay, so, go get on a plane
and talk to the girl.

And, uh, don't let
your hero worship blind you.

Will do.

Maybe I'll check in
on my mom while I'm there.

So you gonna see mom
while you're here?

No...
I don't know.

Tell me about this victim.

Well, I don't know
that she is one.

She claims Shakir Wilkins
raped her over six months ago.

No outcry, no physical evidence.

We're not pursuing.
Okay, so...

Why'd you call me?

Thought you'd want to know.

Maybe I... just wanted
an excuse.

You and your wife separated?
Again?

This time it's for good.

Little girl's in college, so...
You up for a beer later?

I gotta take a rain check
on that.

I gotta catch the 5:00 today
back to New York.

They work you hard up there.

Oh.
Next time.

Hey, is the deputy chief in?

You just missed him.

He said he knew you were coming
and he sends his regards.

I was Shakir's stylist
on a shoot.

I was thrilled to meet him...

At first.

Tell me what happened,
Macie-Lynn.

He invited me
to his hotel after.

We had some wine.

The next thing I remember...

I was in his bed,

naked.

He raped me,
just like that other girl said.

Did you tell anyone?

No.

Atlanta's a small town,
people talk.

Yeah... they do.

So, I, um...
I called Mr. Bauer.

I'd met him
at some events down here.

He told me the same thing
that captain out there said,

that no good will come
from making a complaint.

Um...

Did Mr. Bauer offer
any kind of other help at all?

He said he didn't want
hard feelings,

so if I could let it go,
he'd see to it I got a bonus.

I support my family,
my daddy lost his job...

I needed the money.

So I gave this Marcie girl
five grand.

She had no memory
of what happened.

It was the same cockamamie story
Carla told.

But... you hadn't heard
Carla's story yet,

and Macie-Lynn
was six months ago.

Well, I may have
the timeline confused...

My father runs
a multi-billion dollar company

fielding hundreds of emails
and phone calls a day.

You can't expect him to remember
who said what when.

Yeah. But you'd remember

if somebody else came to you
about Shakir, right?

- How's that?
- Mr. Bauer?

You're looking at
witness bribery.

Think hard.

Okay, actually,
we are done here.

- Dad?
- No, no, no.

There was a gold digger,

a black girl...

Works in retail.

I didn't believe
a word she said.

Hey, you're Tiana?

We need to talk to you
about Shakir.

This about that girl who
went off on him in the elevator?

I like working here.
I don't want no part of this.

So you think if you talk
to the police,

you're gonna lose your job?

Mr. Bauer said Shakir
is the golden goose,

role model for my community.

Look around, we all have
our jobs because of Shakir.

I'm on a store manager track
here.

And he told you that
after you went to him?

Mr. Bauer... sent us here.

He did?

Listen, honey,
from personal experience?

Pretending something didn't
happen doesn't make it go away.

I'm sorry, who are we
talking about now?

Tiana Raynes.
Sharkwear salesgirl.

And she kept her panties?

Yeah, there was semen on them
and her dress.

Better than an autograph.

When does she allege
this took place?

You were in her store

for a march madness event,
Mr. Wilkins.

I was everywhere
for march madness.

16 cities in 16 days.

This was in the Sharkwear
flagship store.

Tiana took a selfie with you
and your cutout.

That's her, that's the dress.

Okay, she met him.

Well, she says
he did more than that,

so we are going to need
a DNA sample today, Mr. Wilkins.

- Just a minute. Shakir...
- No, no, look,

I wanna be
totally straight here.

I was in a bad place.

I just lost my marriage.

And my wife and I separated
on new year's,

and yes, I've been
dating since.

And you "dated" Tiana Raynes?

No, hooked up.

One time, after hours,
in a... a dressing room,

and it was her idea.
That's not her story.

She told me you drugged her,
and she woke up the next morning

in the store,
her dress stained.

She says this now,
five months later?

And she just happened
to save the panties?

This is well-timed blackmail.

Look, she's lying
about the rape.

Yeah, like...

Carla? Hmm?
Like Macie-Lynn?

They all say that you bought
them a drink,

and the next thing
they remember,

they were naked,
and they had been violated!

- They are lying too!
- About what?

Tiana's lying
about being raped?

But you did have sex with her,

and the other two, they're
lying about everything?

Okay, okay, I don't know
what's going on here,

but Carla, and the other one...
Macie-Lynn?

I may have had sex
with them also.

And if you did,
it was consensual,

isn't that right, Shakir?

Yes, absolutely.

I mean, so I wasn't all warm
and cuddly afterwards.

I like sleeping alone.

You know,
spending the night, spooning,

it's not part of
the Shakir Wilkins experience.

Can't blame you there.

Now by the way,
do you have a prescription

for Ambien or Xanax?

Yes, of course I do.

I can't sleep most nights

because my wife
is trying to take my son.

And that's why I couldn't
admit to the sex.

She will crucify me with it
in the custody battle.

You've got bigger problems
than a custody battle,

Mr. Wilkins.

Okay, now Shakir is saying

he did have sex with all three
of them?

Let me guess,
it was consensual.

It's possible.

I had two girls claim
their dad molested them,

just to get him to pay
their student loans off.

No rape kits.
No outcry at the time.

Barba's really gonna go forward
with this?

Give it a rest, guys.

I didn't want
to believe it either.

But we've got
three consistent stories,

and there's no evidence that
the women compared notes...

They may be just after money.

They already got it from Bauer.

To keep quiet
about being assaulted.

You want an outcry witness?

- Bauer's your guy.
- Good luck!

You think Orion Bauer's
gonna tank Shakir? Mm-mm.

I'm predicting health problems,
mini stroke, something.

We have him
on witness bribery charges.

That gives us leverage.
In the meantime,

let's vet
the three complainants.

Money issues,
personal histories,

and any previous
false accusations.

No, no.
I won't testify against Shakir!

It's not just the money,
he's been loyal!

Have you read
his autobiography?

I don't even know if he's
read it, but the point is:

He's an inspiring story.

Hey, dad, listen,
we're on their court now.

All right?

Let us listen to what they have
to say.

Mr. Bauer, we've got
three credible vics

with consistent stories.

You're an outcry witness
in all three cases.

What the hell does that mean?

That means that they all
came to you, dad.

Because I'm like a father
to everyone in this company.

And like a father,
when they came to you

they said they'd been attacked,
you gave them money,

and you told them to keep quiet.

You're on the hook here.

Ask your daughter.

If my father testifies
to what these women said,

is that in exchange for charges
not being filed against him?

Charges for what?

- You paid them, Mr. Bauer!
- Those were bonuses.

A week before Shakir's
contract was to be renewed?

We renewed his contract
two months ago.

The only reason
we kept it secret

is because we wanted
to announce in the fall.

Dad, dad...
Listen.

As painful as this is,

you have got to let Shakir go.

No matter what happens,

he cannot work for Orion Bay
anymore.

Do you hear me?

I just... I...

I didn't see this coming.

I know.

You must think I'm an old fool.

No, daddy.
No, I don't.

Nobody told me
I'd have to testify.

You might.

Our D.A. is going to argue that
what happened to you

is part of a pattern.

Is Shakir gonna be there?

Yeah.

Like I told
that girl detective,

I don't remember too much of it.

Okay.

Let's just start with
the part that you do remember.

You need me to testify?

Under oath.
Is that a problem?

No. No, it's just I...
Well, I heard...

The other girl, the black one,
she saved her panties.

Where did you hear that?

Um, I heard Cordelia
on her cell.

She was talking to Shakir.
She was very upset.

Yeah, that evidence is
a start, Carla,

but you know, if there's
anything that you have

or anything that you could get
to corroborate your story,

that would...
That'd be a big help.

I'm glad you called.

You are?

I'm sorry if I hurt you,

and I want to make this right,
before we all get hurt.

All?
Are you threatening me?

I thought that
we could just talk.

We both know I'm not the only
athlete you've been with.

Listen, you take the stand...

It's fair game.

But we don't have
to go down that road.

We can make all this go away.

You can start over.

You know, maybe get yourself
a condo in the city,

but it's your choice, Carla.
A controlled meet?

You can't do that once he's
represented by counsel.

Wasn't our idea.
This is all her.

It's her phone.

Uhhuh, and second of all,
it's not probative.

Pleading in the alternative,
never a sign of strength.

I was just trying to find out
why she was lying,

- what she wanted.
- Shakir, you've done-

Shakir Wilkins
is not a rapist!

And you'll get the opportunity
to tell your side of the story

to the jury.

Shakir Wilkins,

you're under arrest.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will
be held against you

in a court of law.

It is with a heavy heart
that I announce that...

Orion Bay is terminating
its relationship

with Shakir Wilkins
effective immediately.

Shakir!

He is, like everyone,
entitled to due process.

Only Mr. Wilkins
and these women know

what really transpired
behind closed doors.

But the lack of judgment for
a married man to be alone,

in a room, with three
different women at late hours

is undeniable.

We have always celebrated
role models,

but no matter what
the court decides,

Mr. Wilkins has forfeited
the privilege

of representing Orion Bay.

Thank you.

And when the third woman,
Tiana Raynes, came to you

and said Shakir Wilkins
had raped her,

- did you promise her a bonus?
- Yes, I did.

Can you tell the jury why you
offered these women bonuses,

which may appear to some
as buying their silence?

I take no joy in this.

I've had a long-term
relationship with Mr. Wilkins.

I simply couldn't reconcile
my knowledge of him

with what these women
were saying.

At the time, I believed that
these were false allegations.

And now?

After I saw how upset
Carla was in that elevator,

it began to gnaw at me.

And these other girls...

There's a saying:
When three people at a party

tell you you're drunk,
don't drive home.

Thank you, Mr. Bauer.

I'm sure we can all agree

you're in a difficult position
here, Mr. Bauer.

- Yes, thank you.
- But isn't it true

you're only testifying today
in exchange

for avoiding charges
of bribing a witness?

I'm testifying here today
because I made a wrong decision,

and for that, I apologize.

But no charges have been filed.

Correct.

At the time these complainants
came forward,

did you believe their stories?

No, I did not.
I simply couldn't think

that the man I knew
was capable of doing

the things they said
he was doing.

But now you do believe
that Shakir Wilkins

assaulted these three women?

Yes, I do.

As I said, after that scene in
the elevator with Carla,

replaying all their words
without blinders on,

so God help me, yes, I do.

Does the sudden change
in your beliefs

give you the right to invoke
the morals clause

and terminate your contract
with Mr. Wilkins,

saving your company roughly
half a billion dollars?

Roughly, yes, but that's
not why I terminated him.

Does getting out of your
contract with Mr. Wilkins

provide long-term relief?

- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

Nothing further.

I came to...

Naked...

Sore...

I had pieces of memory
of Shakir Wilkins raping me.

But you didn't
go to the hospital?

You didn't tell police?

I was afraid of what people
would think of me,

or what would happen to my job.

Why come forward now?

Well, I was asked to work
with Shakir again

at the press conference
for his re-signing.

I couldn't hold it in.

I blacked out.

When I came to,
my clothes were off...

I was...

Bruised.

I knew I'd been raped.

You knew this...

And yet, you didn't
call the police...

Friends, family...

I come from
a good Christian home.

I'd gone to a hotel room
with a black athlete.

My mother would have blamed me,

the same way
you're blaming me now.

Then I woke up.

My dress was ripped, stained...

He raped me.

And you didn't tell anyone.

Look, I know I have to do this,

but I had to take an express bus
and a taxi to get here.

Okay, we can reimburse you
for that.

And that's it?

Is everything all right, Tiana?

I just...

Forget it.

Just tell me what you
and Mr. Bauer want me to say.

We want you to say
exactly what happened.

Lemme look at what I said
before, and I'll get it right.

- Okay, then, tell us...
- What did you mean

when you said you'd say what
Orion Bauer wanted you to say?

Orion Bauer gave you a bonus

to keep quiet about the initial
complaint, isn't that right?

A bonus.
Uh-huh, right.

Are you saying
he didn't make a payment?

What?

How much is that suit?
Two grand?

- I beg your pardon?
- And that tie?

Please, I work retail.
You don't think I know?

Okay, Tiana, what does that
have to do with this?

Oh, hello, white girl.

Orion Bauer paid me half-assed
what he paid those other girls.

And how do you know this?

I heard it on LMZ.
Do you think I'm stupid?

He paid them five grand.

So maybe you call him
and make it right,

then I'll remember better.

And he paid them for what?
To keep quiet about the rape?

Please.

All I know is, I got paid
to say Shakir raped me.

Are you saying...

Are you saying Shakir Wilkins
did not rape you?

I'm saying you get Mr. Bauer
to give the right amount,

the fair amount?

I'll say whatever
the two of you want me to say.

Hell, I'll do you nasty
like I did Shakir

in that dressing room,
but you got to man up,

and pay up.

Witness tampering.
False accusations.

These are serious allegations.

Which is why I move for an
immediate dismissal, your honor.

I've gotten full disclosure,
brady material,

I need time to investigate
this witness's story.

She admitted she took payments
from Orion Bauer

to make a false allegation.

How much more do you need
to investigate?

She could be lying now.

To extort Orion Bauer
for more money.

This whole case has been a
shakedown from the get.

Her credibility is shot, so are
your other two witnesses'.

We don't know that.

I'm not dismissing charges.

But I will grant
a 48-hour continuance

until this is sorted out.

Get your facts straight
and now, mr. Barba.

Keep it.
So Carla and Macie-Lynn

aren't changing their stories.
They definitely got paid more.

- Is that for all of us?
- Oh, yeah.

Goat cheese
and sun-dried tomato.

Made you for a pepperoni guy.

I'm full of surprises.

This whole case is a crock.

I mean, I kinda called it.
Hello?

Yeah, we still don't know
what happened.

How do you ever really know
what happened?

I mean, a man and a woman,
alone in a room...

There's a hundred different
stories how that plays out

and most of them
aren't criminal.

Not good, either.

Carisi, remind me why
you're SVU, again?

I worked homicide,
couple years.

It's... it's the women
who get you.

I mean, they're dead, but...

But their hair's clean,
they're nicely dressed,

they're made up.

And that means their husbands
or their boyfriends did it.

It's like they knew.

They knew it was coming,
they don't even look surprised.

Just...

Just finished.

It doesn't, you know, make me
treasure every moment

or any of that crap, but...

Okay.

Uh, meanwhile, Carla Cannon
is on her way up.

Will she hold
or will she fold, huh?

I got this.

But you already got money once
from Orion Bauer, right?

Yes, to keep quiet,
but I couldn't get over

what Shakir did to me.

You're in a lot of trouble
if you're lying here, Carla.

No, actually, you're not,
Carla.

Listen to me.

The important thing
is that you come clean now.

Shakir raped me.
I swear to God.

Just give it to us straight!

If you made a mistake, it's not
gonna come back on you now.

Are you serious?
I'm not lying

- about what that man did to me.
- All right.

So it is your testimony

that you did not take
Orion Bauer's money to lie?

No, ma'am.
No, I did not.

If that black girl says
different, then she's lying.

Are you kidding me?

That black girl
is shaking me down again?

- Dad.
- No, no, no.

She came crying to me.
I tried to make it right.

I gave her $800,
now she wants more?

Ingratitude!

Now, are you denying you gave
Tiana money to claim rape?

You're damn right
I'm denying, lady.

It's an outright lie.

Not that I should be surprised.

- Mm-hmm, and why is that?
- Dad, stop.

That girl didn't even graduate.

I was the one that made her
assistant store manager.

Because the way I grew up,
background didn't matter.

It was a matter of character,
integrity.

It was a matter of loyalty!

Okay, I think that
that's enough.

It's a long path, a strange
journey we are all traveling

with our tribes, our families.

Just the way of our culture,
just the damn way of it.

This is very simple.
Did you or did you not

pay Tiana Raynes
to make false allegations?

The hell I did not!

Did you ask the other girls?
The white girls?

- Dad.
- Because if you did,

you would discover that they
didn't change their stories.

How do you know they didn't?
Are you in touch with them?

- Dad, you have to stop now.
- No.

- Dad, please...
- Cordelia, Cordelia!

I'm in charge here!

Now look, I love you,
but you have no more sense

than your mother did!

- You're blind!
- We are done here.

All of that was off the record.
I would like you to leave now.

Please.
This is enough.

So now you're worried about me?

About the company?
Hmm?

Now you're a good girl?

Well, that's good.

Because I forgive you,
my darling.

I forgive you for everything.

Please.

What was that?
Early dementia?

- Our journey, our tribes?
- I don't know.

- You go on ahead.
- She can't talk to you

about the case,
she's his lawyer.

We can talk about fathers.

Hey, Cordelia.

You all right?

I'm fine.

- Is your father always like...
- Larger than life?

Absolutely,
and I love him for it.

He's old school.
A lion.

Yeah, can you help me
understand something?

I don't think your dad
is the kind of man

that would completely destroy
someone's reputation

just to void a contract.

No, he would never.

Raised me to believe
that your word is your bond.

Used to say if you ever betray
that, you are dead to him.

What did he mean when he said
that you were blind,

and he forgives you?
Forgives you for what?

I have no idea.

If you'll excuse me, we really
shouldn't be talking.

This doesn't make any sense.

Orion Bauer paid the store clerk
to say that I raped her?

Yeah, Tiana finally
gave that up.

- What about the other two?
- Well, they're still claiming

- you raped them.
- I didn't.

I swear.

I mean, this can't be about
the money on my contract.

The old man makes
a fortune off me.

Okay, can you think of
any reason Orion Bauer

wants to destroy you?

Honey!

I thought you'd left.

I did, I came back.

Well, I'll take you to dinner.

After today, what I need is a
good steak and a stiff scotch.

Uh, dad, the police have been
asking all kinds of questions.

I can't be your lawyer.

I may be involved.

Well, I don't care if you're
my lawyer anymore.

I'll get myself a real lawyer.

What is all this about?

You tell me.

That black girl lying about me?

What did you do, daddy?
What did you do?

You doubting my word?

A few months ago you asked me
to stay away from Shakir.

Said he was married,
that he was a player.

And I was right.
Shakir is a bad guy.

Which breaks my heart.

I trusted him,
which I shouldn't have.

He screws everything that moves.

Did those girls...

Really come to you, daddy,
or did you...

Did you find them?

It couldn't have been that hard.

His bodyguard, his driver,
they all report to you, don't they?

Why are you asking me this?

I'm asking you
if you set all this up.

Oh, you did, didn't you?
You had Shakir followed.

You knew who he had sex with,
and you went to them,

and you paid them to lie.

No, they came to me.

You framed Shakir, daddy.
Why, why?

After all he's done for you,
I don't understand.

- All he's done for me?
- Yes!

What about what
I've done for him?

I've given him millions!

And the son of a bitch repays me
by screwing my only daughter.

You lied to me.

You two were carrying on
behind my back.

You're right,
I did have eyes on Shakir.

And you know why?
Because he parties.

Those three girls
that I paid off?

I could have found a dozen more.

And you are very lucky you
didn't get the AIDS.

I know all about
his acting out.

All right, I confronted him
a month ago,

and he knows that that part of
his life, it has to stop.

He only told you that because
he wants you to keep

his little bastard baby.

What are you talking about?

You expect me to stand by and
become the laughing stock

of corporate America?

While this son of a bitch
knocks you up?

It's all over your
health insurance.

You're not allowed
to look at that, daddy.

I'm a trustee.

But what does that have to do
with the price of beans?

The point is, you lied.

You wanna make a fool
of yourself and be his whore?

Go right ahead, that's fine.

But what are you gonna do when
you walk into the Maidstone club

with a little black baby
clinging onto you?

And when he goes to Dalton?

What do you think they're
gonna say?

"Oh, here comes
the scholarship boy?"

You can't say these things,
daddy.

- Oh, yes, I can.
- You can't say these things.

Yes, I can! These people come
into our homes.

They come into our families.

They are animals.

I did what I had to do
to protect you

from making the biggest
mistake...

Animals?

He makes his living
off athletes,

- and he talks like that?
- Wow.

Look, he's gotta be senile,
or crazy, or... both.

Yeah, I feel bad for Cordelia.

Her father's a narcissist.
She fell for another one.

She never had a chance.
And how did we...

Get this tape?

I can't tell you.
And I had to promise

it wouldn't be used
against Mr. Bauer.

But we know what this means.

In light of new evidence,
we're asking

for an immediate dismissal
of all charges, your honor.

Mr. Barba?

The people have no objection.

So ordered.

Mr. Wilkins,
you are free to go.

Win some, lose some,
Mr. Barba.

Nice tie.

I'm gonna go upstairs
and... duck calls.

So Bauer just gets away
with this.

My bet?
A tape like that?

Sooner or later it comes out.

Well, what about
these three girls?

They lied, under oath.
They just get to skate?

General policy for the D.A.
Is when you go after girls

when a case falls apart,
it can prevent real victims

from coming forward next time.

- I get that.
- Yeah, usually I do,

but this time?

Carisi, you were right about
those girls all along.

Not really.
I missed Bauer paid them off.

They were just his pawns.
Like Shakir, like his daughter.

I should have seen it.
Just right in my blind spot.

No, he was good.
That old man act of his?

He played us.

What is that expression?

"There are no
accidental billionaires."

Here! Over here!

Shakir!
We have a question for you!

Come on over here!
Shakir!

I'm, uh...

I'm so sorry.
Yeah.

I lost my contract.
I lost everything.

You have a case against the
company, and my father, and...

I'm never getting my name back!

I'm a punch line now.

You Google me and the first
thing that comes up

is "accused rapist."

You should have trusted me.

But you lied about
the other women.

I didn't rape them.

But you're right.

I'm sorry.

It was old habit,
I was on the road.

It's how I lost my marriage.

Okay, I...
I want to be in your life.

If you can forgive me,
I'd like to try.

We can start over.

A new life...

And we can raise
this baby together.

It's, uh...
It's too late.

What do you mean?

There is no baby.
Not anymore.

After Tiana came forward,
I, uh...

All that hate
and they're still talking.

- Gotta be a tough conversation.
- I know, right?

Where to begin?

One of them is saying:

"Let's start over,"
and the other one is saying...

"It's too late."
