- 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.

- Guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty.

All right, that's 11 guilty.

Not guilty.
[all groan]

- Who voted not guilty?

- It was her!
- Take it easy.

- No, it's her
every goddamn time.

What the hell is
wrong with you?

I'm gonna lose my job.

- Everybody, just calm down.

- No, screw that!

You think this crappy stipend
they give us

is enough for my family
of four to live on?

- Okay. I admit it was me.

- [scoffs]
Of course it was.

We've seen it, the bias.

And we all know why.

- Don't attack her.

She has a right to disagree.

- This guy, he's scum!

What are we doing?

- Stop yelling at me.

- I am sick of you.

I'm sick of all of you.

- All right, we have
to take another vote.

- No, I'm not doing that.

No way.

She's got to change her vote.

I'm not sitting here

I've had enough.

I'll say whatever you want.

- We're here live
at the courthouse,

still awaiting the verdict
in the case

of George Brouchard,

the extradited
Canadian citizen charged

with kidnapping Maddie Flynn.

Maddie, just 15 years old,
was snatched

from a Manhattan
home goods store

while shopping
with her parents,

drugged and taken
across state lines by rail,

and sold to convicted
sex offender Leonard Fleming,

a known Peeping Tom who was
beaten to death at Rikers.

Missing for six weeks
before finally

being rescued by a joint
FBI/NYPD task force.

The city of New York now finds
itself waiting breathlessly

to find out what kind
of justice will be dealt

to Canadian national
George Brouchard.

- I still don't get
why this went to trial.

- Yeah, our jobs would be
a whole lot easier

if it weren't for this pesky
jurisprudence nonsense.

- Maybe we should open a can

of ancient Babylonian justice
on his ass.

- Hammurabi's Code?

- Eye for an eye,
tooth for a tooth.

- Bullet for a brain.
- Yeah, that's funny.

It's not what I meant, though.

- Don't kid yourself.

All cops think like that,
even Curry.

- Listen, all I know is,
Benson saw Brouchard,

Maddie was willing to testify,

and Carisi still couldn't
make a deal?

- Don't blame Carisi.

Blame the guy who was
sexually attracted to trees.

- Stomped to death like a weed
in a prison shower.

- Well, there's nothing
we can do about it now, right?

- Except trust the jury.

- Twelve New Yorkers,
all locked in a windowless room

just as the weather turns nice.

What could go wrong?

- If they don't decide
by 5:00, Amanda,

it's gonna be another weekend.

No, I'm sorry.
I miss you too.

Just tell the kids,
it's their lucky day,

you know, pizza again.

- How's Amanda doing?

- Well, considering
we haven't seen each other

in the past two weeks,
she's fine.

Maybe she's just telling me
she's fine, I don't know.

- Well, I always thought
honesty was overrated

in a relationship.
- Yeah, of course you do.

Why are you here?
What, are you torturing me?

- We're here for,
let's say, moral support.

- It's not that
you want to know

what I've heard through
the courthouse grapevine?

- That too.

Do you have any sense
of how long this is gonna take?

- Well, seeing as
the jury has already asked

for six clarifications
in the last two days alone,

I'm not holding my breath.

[knock on door]

Please do not be
another jury request.

- Sorry to interrupt.

Kidnapping's the higher charge.

Maddie's gonna have
to testify, though, twice--

grand jury and at trial.

- She's gonna have to explain
why she didn't mention this

in her first disclosure.

In fact, she denied it.

She's a risky witness.

puppy dog eyes at this jury.

- We were in a motel room.

He cut my hair.

He put a lock of it
in the leather medicine pouch

he wears around his neck.

- How did that make you feel?

- Captured.

- Even more
than you already were?

- I was crying.

- What did he do then, Maddie?

- He tried to calm me down.

He kissed me,

massaged my back, my...breasts.

- Anything else?

- He gave me a bath...

Washed me down there.

- Now, Maddie, you didn't
tell the police any of this

after you were rescued.

Why was that?

- Uh, I-I'm not sure.

♪

- Was it because
you were worried

about what your parents
would think?

- I guess.

Um, I--I don't know.

- That's okay, Maddie.

Is everything that you've said
in this court today

true and accurate?

- Yes.
- Okay.

Thank you, Maddie.

That's all I need.
No more questions.

- Mr. Brouchard.

- I don't want
to traumatize this witness

any more than Mr. Carisi has.

- Your Honor, approach.

Mr. Brouchard is completely
out of line right now.

- Mr. Brouchard, just because
you're representing yourself

doesn't mean you're not bound
by professional conduct.

- I understand, Your Honor.

- You're entitled to a cross,

but tread carefully.

Step back.

- Hello, Maddie.

- Hi.

- I have a few questions
that may be uncomfortable.

Are you okay with that?

- Yes.

- When you first spoke
to the police,

you didn't tell them
about the bath, did you?

- No.

- You didn't mention
a lot of things.

- No.

- Like how we looked
at the stars

out the window of the train?

- Your Honor, relevance.

- Goes to her inconsistent
prior statements.

I want to give her a chance
to explain to the jury.

- I'm going to allow,

but move it along,
Mr. Brouchard.

- I just want to know
if there was a part

of being with me
that you liked,

and that's why
you didn't tell anyone?

- Yes.

There was a part.

- What did you like, Maddie?

- Objection, Your Honor.

Again, relevance.

- I'll allow.

Witness may answer.

- Um, the stars?

For six weeks, the stars were
our only constant.

- And the bath?

[soft dramatic music]

- Um...

♪

A little?

- So it felt good, the bath?

And that's why you didn't tell
the police or your parents,

because they wouldn't
understand?

- Your Honor.
- I just want the jury to see

that I am not a monster
because Maddie doesn't

see me as a monster.

- I'm going to sustain
the objection.

Jury will disregard.

- Nothing further.

- Mr. Carisi.

- The People rest, Your Honor.

- Mr. Brouchard, do you plan
to call any witnesses?

- No.
The defense rests, Your Honor.

- Then we'll reconvene tomorrow
for closing arguments.

- Look, none
of Maddie's cross matters.

She was 15, on drugs,
and incapable of consent.

- I never should have put her
on the stand--or Sykes.

- Sykes held her own.

- You had to make
your case, Carisi.

- Brouchard just unmade it.

- Whether Maddie
likes him or not

is irrelevant to the charge.

- It might not be
to the jury, Liv.

about this.

- You shut up.

Put him in a bag,

clearly traumatized.

I get that.

He's going to prison.

I know that if you go through

with what you're threatening,
you'll be the one in prison.

And then he wins.

- Yeah, well, he'll be dead.

losing you.

- And in conclusion,
members of the jury,

I would remind you
that the People's case needs

to be proven
beyond a reasonable doubt,

a standard which ADA Carisi
has failed to meet.

Given that, it is
your sworn obligation

to find me not guilty...

on all charges.

Thank you.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

the evidence in this case
is overwhelming.

[soft dramatic music]

Maddie was 15 years old.

She didn't consent
to being taken

from that store
by the defendant.

She certainly didn't consent
to being sold by him.

He gave her drugs,
which made her

physically incapable
of consenting

to what the defendant did
to her--

all of it.

The truth is, the defendant
abused Maddie Flynn

in that van, on that train,
in that motel room,

and he abused her again
on that stand.

Now, you all heard
the psychological analysis

of his nihilism,
his grandiosity,

but he is the worst predator
I can imagine.

He's a self-pitying coward

who plays the victim.

I'm just asking you
to do what's right here.

Find this coward guilty
on all charges.

are you trying to jinx me

I'm not getting a third, Fin.

I don't know anything
with this guy.

- Don't let him get to you
the way he got to Eileen.

- That's easy for you to say,
Detective.

- So what's gonna happen
with Eileen?

- Since the gun was unloaded,
it's a class A misdemeanor.

The DA's gonna take
her circumstances

into consideration.
- Which means?

- No jail time,
possible community service.

DA could offer a disposition,

which would mean
no criminal record.
