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.

Come on!
Three more.

Harder!
As hard as you can!

Two!

One more.

Nice... and rest.

Okay... gotta get back

Oh, that excuse.

- Ha!
- Same time tomorrow?

Oh!

I have my son's
parent-teacher conference.

I have 7:00 p.m. open.

That's when I actually
get to see my son.

How 'bout... how 'bout
this?

You move in with me...

Then you can make me
do squats

while I cook Noah dinner.

- Okay.

- I'll even run back to my car.

Good morning, everyone!

Welcome to Accredo's
Female Entrepreneur Workshop.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Hello, everybody.

I am Claudia.
I'm your hostess.

This... this group taught me
to take back my power.

I went from
schlepping briefcases

for the senior partners

to head of
the litigation department.

And, well...
look at this place.

But I deserve it,
right?

[APPLAUSE]

Who would like
to share?

Oh, it's okay.
Let someone else go.

But your story is
so inspiring.

Please.

Thank you.

When I first
discovered Accredo,

my career...
my life...

were both stalled.

I was in
an abusive relationship

that held me back.

But now, I am
stronger than ever,

ready to take on the future.

Hey, I can walk you to
the subway, if you want.

No, I'll be fine.

Okay.

I am starving!
This empowered woman

can't live on
cucumber water alone.

I didn't think you
ever ate.

Are you kidding?
Wanna go for lunch?

There's this great Italian
place around the corner.

It's got gluten-free pasta.

I can't... not today.

What's going on?

- Is it your ex?
- No, no.

Because if he's stalking
you again...

It's not him.
I'm fine, Lilah, okay?

I'm just... busy.

- I'll see you later?
- Okay.

Stop calling me.
I'm serious.

No!
I'm... I'm hanging up.

That's gotta be

Then 10 minutes later, boom.

It goes up to 130; it stays
elevated for 40 minutes.

It gets as high as
160, Lieu.

The next 20 years.

It is in you.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

Because, Lilah, let me

You only have two choices.

Lilah, be smart.

You can be silent

we have second degree murder.

- Well, the good news is

is that Lilah doesn't have

killing Vicky on your orders

framing Brad.

It's not that
you convince women

It's not that you demean women

What really disgusts me...

is that you make women

Empowered.

Addicted to feeling invincible.

You know, I can see
that you're intelligent.

Empathetic.

They feel heard.
And because they trust you,

they share
their deepest insecurities,

their weaknesses, with you.
