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.

Hannah, you didn't
eat your bacon.

I told you, I'm a
pescatarian, Mom.

I don't eat meat anymore.

Since when?

Oh, since you
started dating Ryan?

Honey, your computer
keeps dinging.

I can barely hear myself think.

Hannah, can you come
in here, please?

Yes.

I hope that's a girl,
not a sportsbook.

- Dad, I...
- From Hannah.

Whoa.

I thought you two
were just friends.

We were. We still are.

Peach emoji.

That's a bit more than
friends, isn't it?

Are you two hooking up?

It's not like that.
I really like her.

Okay.

Look, it's none of my business,

but if you are doing what
I think you're doing...

We haven't done
anything yet, okay?

When you do...

I know, use a condom.

And remember, women
are the buyers.

What does that even mean?

That means that they
have the power of choice.

Makes us the sellers.

So what are you gonna
do to close the deal?

Look, I'll tell you what.

I'm gonna cancel my first
meeting so you and I

can have a little man to man.

You looked at my screen.

I was gone for two
minutes to wash

the bacon smell off my hands.

Hannah, I didn't mean
to invade your privacy.

But you did.

Just, I thought we still
told each other everything.

We do.

Mom...

How could you not confide
in me that you were

gonna have, you know, sex?

I was going to tell you.

I just wanna make
sure that you're safe.

We bought condoms.

Sex is about more than that.

There are emotions involved.

Well, I love Ryan.

I know you do.

It's just he's your
first boyfriend, Hannah.

And the first time might
not be what you expect.

Mom, I know he's the one.

Where were you even planning
to do this, his bedroom?

God, no.

A hotel? A car?

Erica's house.

Her parents are in London.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't you come here?

In my room?

Where are you gonna be?

I owe your aunt a dinner out.

After that, I'll take
her to the movies.

You can have the
place to yourselves.

Just don't do anything
you don't feel ready for.

Okay?

You like it?

Happy... happy early birthday.

Look, Jesse, you gotta be
responsible with this, okay?

I will.

The only reason
you're getting it

is so you can talk
to Mommy when she's

traveling for her new job.

When is she coming home?

A few days.

Come on.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Here, sweetie, come
over here for a second.

Just wait here for me?

Hold this.

All right. I'll be right back.

Hey.

Yeah. What's up?

Those two girls,
they're underage.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Yeah, you do. You're
staring at them.

You're staring at my daughter.

Relax, my guy.

No, no. I'm not your guy.

Let me see your ID.

- You a cop?
- What do you think?

Come on.

You keep your eyes to yourself

if you wanna keep
them in your head.

Get out of here.

Hey. Come on.

I promised your sister
pizza for dinner.

Let's go.

Two virgin piña coladas.

These look delish.

Oh, wait.

From my dad's private stash

to make our coladas not virgins.

Like us.

Your dad has good taste.

Yeah, well, he's been around.

Mom?

See?

I told you she's not here.

Okay.

I can't believe she left you
the whole place to yourself.

Let's go to my room.

Do you know what
happened to her?

I came home after the
movies. I found her in bed.

She was vomiting. Is
she gonna be okay?

I won't know until we do an MRI.

- MRI?
- She could have a concussion.

Did you try to
revive her, do CPR,

maybe have your hands on her?

- No, why?
- There's bruising on her neck.

Maybe it was the EMTs.

They were working
on her on the way.

We'll update you after
we've examined her.

Hannah.

Hannah, I love you.

I saw your playground
footlicker agreed to a deal.

Two years.

Someone needs to warn his
cellmate to keep his socks on.

How is Rollins' new gig?

Sergeant at the Intelligence
Division, big time.

You know, New York has
Intelligence agents

all over the world.

She's gonna be
traveling a lot, Carisi.

Nothing she can't handle.

Tell her we're proud of her.

Will do, Fin.

So I appreciate the
coffee, but you could have

called me for the plea deal.

Actually, I need some advice.

Work related or...

Parenting.

All right. Well, my
door is always open.

Who decided that yoga
pants and crop tops is

what girls should be wearing?

Well, that would be girls.

What's up?

I caught some pedo checking
out Jesse yesterday.

Oh, God, really?

She's nine years old.

And then I caught him leering
at two 13-year-old girls.

- So what'd you do?
- I...

I'm not proud of this,
but I might have...

might have threatened the guy.

It took everything I had not
to lay hands on this creep.

If that had been my
father with my sisters,

he would have decked the guy.

Carisi, your father
wasn't an ADA.

What did Rollins say?

She's in Texas.

She's doing a NYPD Border
Patrol meet and greet.

We barely have
enough time to say

good morning and good night.

You know, I hate
to break it to you,

but you better get used to this.

I mean, you're gonna have
two teenage daughters

in your house soon.

- Hey, sorry to interrupt.
- That's okay.

What's up?
- Call from Mercy.

Mother brought in
her 16-year-old

daughter last night.

16?

Sexual assault?

Unclear, but the mother
agreed to the hospital

calling SVU.

So whatever happened
to this girl,

she didn't tell her
mother the whole story.

Right.

Okay.

I was giving Hannah
her privacy, so I...

I left the house
for the evening.

Privacy for...

Hannah and her boyfriend, Ryan,

were going to lose their
virginity to each other.

And you were okay with that?

Well, my first time was in
the back of a Hyundai Elantra.

I wanted Hannah's
experience to be special.

Did Hannah tell you if
they actually had sex?

Uh... no.

I came home, she was passed
out in bed, dizzy, vomiting.

From what?

Doctors say it's a concussion.

A concussion? Has
she stabilized?

I spoke to her about
a half an hour ago.

Okay.

She's feeling weakness
on her left side.

And was she able to tell
you how she got hurt?

She claims she doesn't remember.

You don't believe her?

At this point, I don't
know what to believe.

The doctor said she's got a
little alcohol in her system.

No drugs.

There's bruising on her neck.

How did that happen?

Well, what can you tell us

about her relationship
with Ryan?

Ryan?

They've been friends
since grade school.

Just became a couple.

Okay. Were there any issues?

He's a... he's a nice kid.

They seem to genuinely
like each other.

Okay, well, we'll talk to her,

if that's all right with you.

Yeah, you know, she
might be more forthcoming

if you're not in the room.

Okay.

Thank you.

Ryan and me had it
all planned out.

It was going to be special.

Okay. And whose...
whose idea was it?

Both of us.

I wanted to.

Hannah, do you remember
having sex with Ryan?

Not really.

Am I in some kind of trouble?

No, no, no, not at all.

But, you know, you did get
hurt, so your mom is...

is worried about you.

Yeah. So whatever
you can tell us.

Ryan and I came
home from dinner.

We were making out on my bed.

Okay.

And then?

I kind of remember
falling out of bed.

And then Ryan was there.

Did he say anything about
how you fell out of bed?

He was worried,
said I blacked out.

What happened next?

I told him to go home.

That's when I got into bed
and just went to sleep.

And do you know how you got
these marks on your neck?

We were a little
buzzed, rolling around.

It was fun at first.

At first.

And then?

I don't remember.

Don't remember or
don't wanna say?

I don't want Ryan to get blamed.

Hannah, look, we're
here because we want

to make sure that you're okay.

Right, we're just trying to
figure out what happened,

how you got hurt.

So why don't we let
you rest and we'll talk

at another time, okay?

Okay.

This woman gave her
daughter consent

to have sex in their apartment
when she wasn't home?

The mother couldn't
have known how...

how wrong it could go.

Sex is messy enough for adults

to navigate, let alone kids.

Ah. Speaking from experience?

Well, I know my son's no virgin.

He told you?

I found a condom wrapper
stuffed under his mattress.

So he hid it like most kids do.

Yeah, the old-fashioned way,

just like I did with my parents.

Is that any better?

No.

None of this is easy.

Hannah's MRI showed
a grade 3 concussion.

She's lucky there
wasn't a brain bleed.

Yeah, her memories
seem pretty spotty.

Partial amnesia is a symptom.

It should resolve
in a day or two.

What about the
bruising on her neck?

Consistent with a hand, maybe
two, likely from behind.

So is it possible
to tell whether it

was accidental or deliberate?

Not without a recollection.

Did your exam show any evidence

that she had sex last night?

There was some
irritation and swelling,

but I can't be sure
without a rape kit.

Thank you, Doctor.

What now?

We get Hannah to
agree to a rape kit

and have a
conversation with Ryan.

I don't understand why
you have to talk to me

and my wife separately.

It's just procedure.

Do you know Hannah Brolin?

Yeah, of course.

Sweet girl.

Were you aware that
she and your son

were together last night?

Yes.

What's this about?

Ryan and Hannah were on a date

or whatever it is kids
call it these days.

Did you know their plans?

According to my credit card app,

they went to some lobster
restaurant in Times Square.

Huh, and after that,
where did they go?

To Hannah's house to hang out.

Hannah's in the hospital.

Well, why?

Apparently, she
passed out last night.

Okay.

Well, I'm sorry to hear
that, but what does

this have to do with my son?

Well, that's why we
need to talk to him.

Mom.

Everything okay?

The police are
asking about Hannah.

You were with her last night?

Yeah, she didn't
come to school today.

I texted her, like, ten times.

Well, how was she
when you left her?

She fell out of bed.

But she said she was fine.

Son, go to your room.

I wanna know how she is.

You heard your father.

We just have a few
more questions.

I understand you
have to do your job,

but my son's not answering any
questions without an attorney.

Well, Ryan seemed pretty
worried about Hannah.

He may have a reason.

Well, maybe his parents are
just being overprotective.

Or they know their
son did something.

How's Hannah doing?

Well, she's out of the hospital.

There's no semen on the kit,

but they did find evidence
of condom lubricant.

Neither of these
kids denied that they

were planning to have sex.

The problem is there was
fingertip bruising on her neck,

and she had a concussion,
and she doesn't

remember giving consent.

What about the boy,
Ryan? What's he saying?

Oh, parents lawyered right up.

Are we even looking
at a case, Counselor?

I mean, they're both
16, both underage.

Well, there's no Romeo and
Juliet exemption in New York.

Technically, they both could
be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Well, not if Hannah said no.

Well, if she said no,
then this kid, Ryan,

he's looking at felony charges.

What about the
bruising on her neck?

She doesn't remember
how she got it?

Not the last time
we talked to her.

She didn't put
them there herself.

So she doesn't remember
much of anything that night.

I mean, like you said,
she had a concussion.

So either she honestly
doesn't recall...

Or she's protecting Ryan.

Bring them both in.

Look, the real issue
here is whether or not

she consented to any of this.

So how are you feeling, Hannah?

- A lot better.
- Good.

I don't even think
I need to be here.

You passed out, honey.

There are marks on your neck.
- Okay.

Why don't you have a seat?

Yeah.

So, Hannah, I know
that this is, you know,

uncomfortable, right?

But the fact of the matter
is, you are a minor.

Yeah, so we do have to
ask you some questions.

What did the rape kit say?

Mom, I wasn't raped.

No one is saying that.

But the kit did have
evidence that you had sex.

Like I told you, it
was fun at first.

So you remember that.

Kind of.

It's still a blur.

Okay, well, why don't we start

with what you do recall,
you know, clearly?

We were kissing.

Then he started taking
his clothes off.

Mm-hmm.

Mine too.

And you were okay with that?

Yeah, it was fine.

You were fine the whole time?

Yes.

But I was nervous.

It was awkward.

That's understandable, right?

The first time and everything.

We know that this
is awkward too.

But just tell us what happened.

It's okay.

My friends who've
done it said that guys

really like you to, you know,

act like what they
see in the videos.

Mm. In videos.

We did it face to face at first.

Okay.

He said he wanted
to try something.

What was that?

He... he turned me
over on my stomach.

Okay.

And then what?

He was kind of holding on to me.

By your neck?

It wasn't like that.

He did have his
hands on your neck.

Yes.

So, Hannah, did you know

that he was gonna do that?

I tried to say, you're
hurting me, stop.

What do you mean,
you tried to say?

I don't think he heard me.

It was hard to talk
with his hand there.

But you wanted him to stop.

Okay.

Then what happened?

I guess I passed out.

Next thing I remember,
I was on the floor.

Ryan said I hit my
head on the nightstand.

I don't remember any of that.

Why don't we take a
little break here, huh?

You want some water...

- Yeah, I'll take you.
- Or maybe a soda or something?

Go ahead, honey. It's okay.

Was Hannah... was
Hannah assaulted?

This is a complicated
case, Ms. Brolin.

I thought Ryan was
a decent, sweet kid.

Did I misjudge him?

If she wanted him to stop and
he didn't, that is a crime.

This is all my fault.

I let them have the apartment.

Let's not go there right now.

Look, the most important thing
is that we take care of Hannah.

And she's gonna need her mom.

And in the meantime, I will
speak with Ryan and our ADA.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So Hannah tried to say,
stop, you're hurting me,

but because Ryan's
hands were on her neck,

she couldn't speak clearly?

Exactly. And then
she passed out.

If she tried to withdraw
consent at any point,

that's rape.

That's right.

Shouldn't we hear
what Ryan has to say?

He's on his way down here.

Oh, I can't wait to hear this.

Carisi, maybe we should
let Fin do the interview?

Look, okay, if this
were Billie or Jesse,

I would kill this kid.

I admit that.

But I'm not gonna
let being a parent

prevent me from doing my job.

Come on, you guys.

I'm good.

I didn't hear Hannah say stop.

I didn't hear anything.

Okay, Ryan, is it possible she
tried to talk but couldn't?

Well, yeah, I mean, maybe.

Was she facing away from you?

We were trying, you know...

Trying what?

Doggy style.

Where were your hands?

I was just holding her.

Oh, you're just
holding her, huh?

Just holding her. So
explain this to me.

She had strangulation
marks on her neck, Ryan.

Yo, we're here to cooperate.

No need for the
adversarial tone.

My son would never hurt Hannah.

What is she saying?

We're just trying to
hear what he has to say.

Tell us more about the holding.

With my hands.

On her neck?

Well, yeah, I saw it online.

What, like a video?

Porn?

We don't allow
pornography in our house.

We have parental controls.

Okay.

Where'd you see it, Ryan?

Do I have to answer that?

Just tell the truth.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Hey.

Where'd you learn to
choke during sex, Ryan?

Just tell us.

Some of the older guys on
the fencing team showed me.

They said that girls like it.

I'm really sorry, Mom.

Somebody's angry.

Well, his kid's
in interrogation.

Guys like that, not used
to feeling helpless.

Yeah?

Just saying, a
little man-to-man.

You know, those machines
can be a little tricky.

You want me to get you
something from the break room?

Thank you. I'm good.

Your kid being questioned,
that's gotta be tough, huh?

Well, my wife made
me sit it out, so...

Teenage boys, they can
test your patience.

- You have kids?
- No.

I don't blame you.

I want them.

I just... I don't know.

I think maybe it's
just the job, you know?

I'm sorry that we got off
on the wrong foot yesterday.

I was just being protective.

I get it.

My son, whatever he
did, it's not his fault.

What, you think maybe
he got some bad advice?

Well, he's a good kid.

He doesn't deserve to
have his life ruined.

Look, these are two teenagers.

It's their first time.

All right. Sex is
hard to figure out.

That is true.

We really don't need to
go further down this road.

My firm does fundraisers
for the NYPD.

- I did not know that.
- Yeah.

We're all about supporting
cops, not defunding them.

Hmm.

So if you have any
recommendations.

I'm not... I'm not
sure I understand.

Well, anywhere you think the
money would be well spent,

underprivileged kids or
anything that you might

be personally invested in.

It doesn't really work
that way, Mr. Blake.

What's going on?

Ryan told us his side.

And since the police don't
have enough to arrest,

we're leaving.

- You all right, son?
- What do you think?

After this, Hannah
won't even text me back.

So this is over?

We'll be in touch.

So Ryan didn't exactly confess.

He admitted to the choking.

Said he saw it online.

But he claims he didn't
hear Hannah say stop

and wasn't aware
she was unconscious.

That doesn't matter.

If we can prove that
she withdrew consent,

you can go after him, right?

Yes, given his age, we might
be looking at juvenile court.

First thing, I gotta
talk to the DA.

Captain, we got a call.

Another choking.

Possible sexual assault
of a teenage girl

in a park off the
West Side Highway.

Head down there. Grab Velasco.

I'm going with.

Come on.

What are we looking at?

Two boys attempted to rape
a 12-year-old, Eliza Quinn.

- Where's the vic now?
- She tried to get away.

Ran onto the West Side
Highway, got hit by a cab.

She able to tell you anything?

No. She's in pretty bad shape.

She's on her way to Stuyvesant.

What about these kids,
they know anything?

Girl over there told
us about the assault.

I got it.

Hi. We're good. Thank you.

Hi, honey. What's your name?
- Simona.

Simona, you saw what happened?

Toby and Andrew, they were high.

Started messing with Eliza.

- How so?
- Trying to kiss her.

Then it got worse.

They pulled up her
skirt, grabbed her.

That's why she ran
into the street?

They had their
hands on her neck.

On her neck?

She ran to get away.

Okay.

Thank you, Simona.

What the hell are we looking at?

Today?

Nothing good.

Is it ever?

Two sexual assault victims
with a choking MO in two days.

How's the victim?

Still in surgery.

Multiple internal injuries
from being hit by the cab.

So the driver was cleared?

Yeah. Traffic cams confirmed.

So the fault belongs
with two 13-year-old boys

who chased and assaulted her?

Yeah, they're in
interrogation now.

And those are the
victim's parents?

- Mm-hmm.
- What do they know?

Just that the injuries
sustained from the car accident

were significant.

So now we have a
difficult conversation.

I mean, shouldn't we wait
until their daughter's

out of surgery?

Wait?

You're a mother.

Wouldn't you wanna
know the whole story?

Yeah.

Yeah, I would.

It's after midnight.

My son has school
in the morning.

Your son might not be going to
school tomorrow, Mrs. Moore.

Whatever they said I did,
I didn't do, Mom, I swear.

We have witnesses that saw you

and your friend Andrew
assaulting Eliza.

We were just fooling around.

You pulled up her skirt.

You choked her.

The girl who ran onto the
highway that got hit by a cab?

Yeah. She might not survive.

What?

Your son could be looking
at murder charges.

We didn't do anything.

You better tell them
everything, Toby.

Did you or did you not
attempt to choke Eliza Quinn?

Yeah.

Okay, but Andrew told me that
girls like that sort of thing.

Eliza was flirting with us.

Before or after you
lifted up her skirt

and you started choking her?

Wait, what?

I'm sorry.

You sorry you tried to
rape her or are you sorry

you got caught?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

My son is 13.

Our victim, who might die
from her injuries, is 12.

It wasn't our fault.

Whose fault was it?

You're in a lot of trouble here.

Tell them the truth.

You're not gonna
like the answer, Dad.

Just answer the question.

Someone showed us.

A few days ago.

Who showed you the porn?

My cousin.

What's his name?

So you're telling me that
one of our 13-year-old

choking rapists is
Ryan Blake's cousin?

Says Ryan shared a porn
video his dad showed him.

Yeah, the realtor
likes choking videos.

So this is not a coincidence.

No, it's more like negligence.

Andrew said Ryan showed him
the video a few days ago.

And neither of these boys
knew that Ryan got in trouble

for the exact same thing?

They seem to have no idea.

So much for the Blake
family's no porn policy.

Carisi, what are you thinking?

If Ryan's father allowed him
access, encouraged him to look

at choking porn, then
that is endangering

the welfare of a child.

We could have a case here.

Mr. Blake is not the
type to admit it.

No, he's not. He
tried to bribe me.

And his son has lawyered up.

So what if we just happen

to run into him after school?

I didn't hear that.

Did you?

Not a word.

Yo, Ryan.

Are you okay?
What's the matter?

Hannah, she broke up with me.

She won't even look at me.
- Yeah, that sucks.

But we're here
about another girl.

Eliza Quinn.

Yeah, I heard she
got hit by a cab.

You also hear she was
assaulted by your cousin?

I didn't hear
anything about that.

Not what your cousin said.

Andrew?

What did he say?

You showed him choking porn.

- That you got from your dad.
- No, wait.

It was the guys on
the fencing team.

I told you.
- Did your dad tell you to lie?

No.

He probably gave you some
advice before your big night

with Hannah, right?

Yeah, but not porn.

He just kind of gave
me some pointers.

If I were you, I'd
get a new coach.

So Ryan wouldn't admit that
his father showed him the porn?

Yeah, he's protecting him.

Well, his nephew isn't.

He stuck by his story that
the porn came from Ryan's dad.

That's enough for a warrant.

We told you, nothing
without our attorney.

Sorry, Mrs. Blake, but
we have a search warrant,

and we have an arrest
warrant for your husband.

You can give this
to your attorney

if he has any questions.

Josh!

Top to bottom, any electronics.

What's going on?

Stay in your room.

We're being searched.

Are you people insane?

Mr. Blake...

They have a warrant
for your arrest.

For what? I didn't
do anything.

Endangering a minor.

Dad, I swear I
didn't say anything.

Josh, what is this about?

It's nothing to worry
about, all right?

Call Kagan.

Tell him to meet
me at the precinct.

I was just trying
to be a good father.

My son, he's a little shy.

He was having sex
for the first time,

so I gave him some advice.

By showing him porn?

I never showed anyone porn.

Not according to your nephew.

- Andrew goes to public school.
- So?

So he's always been a handful
and apparently a liar.

This is a total overreach
by the DA's office.

We don't think so.

Well, whatever my
nephew told you,

he was pressured
by your detectives.

He and his friend attempted
to choke a 12-year-old girl.

Scared her enough
to run into traffic.

She might not make it.

That would be a tragedy.

But it has nothing
to do with me.

And what about Hannah,
the girl your son choked?

Let me ask you, did you find
any pornographic material

of any kind on any of
my client's devices?

TARU is still going
through the hard drives.

So that would be a no.

Let's go, Josh.

Your client is
still under arrest.

On a misdemeanor?

I'll get a judge to
release him in an hour.

Josh Blake wouldn't
admit that he

showed his son pornography.

It's not a surprise.

I mean the guy makes
million-dollar deals

for a living. He's slick.

- TARU find anything?
- Nope.

And Josh's defense lawyer
filed a motion to dismiss.

- So Carisi's hands are tied.
- Yeah.

I saw his face.

Angry Carisi.

Well, he may be projecting.

Meaning?

He's got daughters.

Any half-decent father
would feel the same.

Captain Benson.

Okay.

All right, thank you
for letting me know.

What is it?

That was the hospital.

Eliza Quinn.

They couldn't save her.

Ah...

Eliza was only 12 years old.

I'm so sorry.

You're sorry.

What are you doing to get
justice for my daughter?

The two boys will
be held liable.

They should go to
prison for life.

They're only 13,
so unfortunately,

that's probably
not gonna happen.

They will go into
the juvenile system.

We lost our daughter forever.

Oh, my...

We're never gonna
see her graduate.

We're never gonna
see her get married.

And these boys just walk
away when they're 18?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my baby.

What can we do about this?

Get them justice.

Fin.

I'll meet you there.

We are fine. You
don't need to be here.

Somebody called
in a disturbance.

I did.

You know that girl is
dead because of him.

You know about Eliza.

My sister called me in tears.

Her son could be looking
at a murder charge.

I'm sorry that the girl is dead.

You're a liar and a cheater.

- I never cheated.
- Hey!

Mr. Blake, back up, please.

Thank you very much. Fin.

Talk to me, Ryan.
What happened?

Everything's all screwed
up because of me.

I love Hannah.

I didn't know I was
doing anything wrong.

I didn't mean to hurt her.

My husband is a salesman.

All he cares about is
manipulating people,

and he is not gonna
do it to me or my son.

Mrs. Blake, I understand
that you're upset,

but your son is here,
so it would be best

if you let us handle it, okay?

Upset?

I want him out.

Okay.

Fin, please take
Mr. Blake to a hotel.

No. I'm not leaving
my own house.

You have two choices.

You leave on your own, or
we arrest you on a domestic.

Mr. Blake, let's go.

I always knew he
was self-serving.

I just... I never
realized how much.

Ryan, is your room upstairs?

Okay, why don't you
go to your room, okay?

- Mom?
- No.

Just go.

I'll be fine.
I'll be all right.

I knew.

Deep down, I knew.
- You knew what?

That my husband was lying
to me all these years.

About his porn use?

He had a VR headset
he was hiding.

He'd watch it on that.

Ryan told me his
dad lent it to him.

You know the worst part?

He was willing to
let his own son

go to prison to take the fall.

Mrs. Blake, do you or Ryan
know where that headset is now?

I got it.

We're sure this is
Josh Blake's headset?

It's exactly where his wife
told Benson it would be.

I'm guessing his search
history is on it.

Okay, well, we'll
take it to TARU

and have them recover Josh's
private stash of choking porn.

- Hey, I need a bag.
- Enough for you, Counselor?

Yeah, enough to re-arrest
the son of a bitch.

And this time, his
high-priced lawyer is not

gonna be able to help him.

How you doing?

Well, I just watched
two parents say goodbye

to their daughter forever.

So, Carisi, where
are we on this case?

TARU found choking porn
on Josh's VR headset.

So Josh weaponized
pornography to try

to turn his son into a man?

He's like one of those parents

who hands a gun to their kid.

And now a little girl
is dead because of it.

So what charges are
we gonna throw at him?

Unfortunately, not many.

Child endangerment.

It's a misdemeanor.

Eliza is dead because of Josh.

And I wanna make sure
that he knows that.

Okay, look, I handed
my son a VR headset,

but I didn't tell
him to choke anyone.

Do you really believe that
your son would have strangled

the girl he loves on the
night that they were losing

their virginity to each other
if you hadn't introduced

this subject matter?

My client is willing
to plead guilty

on the child
endangerment charge.

That's a smart move,
considering we found

the choking porn in
his search history,

which Ryan watched and then
showed his young cousin.

We should go after
you for the murder

of a 12-year-old girl.

Hold on, hold on.
That is not happening.

Your client is at fault here.

No, my son is at fault.

So, wait, wait. Hold on.

Are you blaming
your son for that?

Well, he's the one
that got confused

between fantasy and real life.

Well, no, he may have
pulled the trigger,

but you gave him the gun.

Your son will stand
before a judge.

But all of this started
because you tried and failed

to teach your son
how to be a man.

You wanna be a real man?

Then take accountability.

My son's actions were
wrong, but my own negligence

played a major role.

I should have never
let my son Ryan

encounter such graphic material.

It was my responsibility
to teach him

how to behave towards women,

and instead I introduced him
to a world that demeans women.

I failed my wife.

I failed my son.

And most of all, I failed the
young women who were hurt.

My whole adult
life, I've just...

I've thrown money at problems
when all along I didn't realize

the main problem was me.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Is Ryan's father going to jail?

You know, we don't
know that yet, Hannah.

And Ryan?

Well, the court is
mandating some things.

You know, he's gonna
have weekly meetings

with a psychologist,
assault prevention classes.

Maybe all this will
stop some other kid

from making the same mistake.

And hopefully, some
parents as well.

Thank you, Captain Benson.

You two take care
of each other, okay?

Nice work today, Counselor.

I did what I could.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm gonna be a lot
better in four hours.

Rollins is on a flight home.

Time to let me buy
you that drink?

You always know when I need one.

Whiskey neat?
- Sure.

Good, 'cause I don't
have any ice cubes.

So I talked to
Josh's wife, Paula.

She is filing for divorce.

And she says that Ryan won't
even speak to his father.

Good.

He deserves to lose his family.

After the public shaming
we just put him through,

I doubt his realty
company is gonna keep him

on deck any longer.

Well, then he's not gonna
have much money left

after Eliza's parents
take him to civil court

for wrongful death.

Ah.

To justice.

Is that what we got?

It's a start.

Sometimes that's
the best we can do.
