All language subtitles for Law and order S17E20 - Captive

(male announcer)
In the criminal justice system,

the people are represented
by two separate

yet equally important groups--

the police
who investigate crime

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

$65?

The meter's broken!

Yeah, you're only allowed
to park here for one hour.

That's ridiculous!

Tell it to my computer.

Have a good day, sir.

Hey, don't walk away from me.

Get back here!

Hey!

Sir, it's a bus stop,
no standing.

[engine starts]

[muffled]
Help!

Sir.

[tires squealing]

Wait!

Not that I mind
having a couple

of homicide cops on the scene,
but what gives?

Just trying
to beat the odds, man.

Three out of four abducted kids
get murdered

within the first
three hours.

Officer Soto?
Yeah.

Detective Green,
Detective Cassady.

We need to go
over your statement.

You described the boy
as nine or ten,

brown hair,
some kind of injury?

Yeah, yeah, here.
Some kind of cut.

He was under
a dark-colored blanket.

Poor thing was scared
out of his mind.

And the driver was a male,
about 40, white?

With a baseball hat.
Anything else?

No, he wouldn't
really look my way.

There was some food
from Astro Burger

on the back seat.

I saw that.

And the burgundy Honda,
you catch a plate?

Yeah, I wrote it down
as he pulled out of here.

EZE4.

I didn't get
the last three numbers.

I'm sorry
I didn't do better, man.

I'm just supposed to write
the tickets.

I'm kind of freaked out.

You did fine.
Thank you.

Find would've been
throwing yourself

in front of the car.

[sighs]

owwindow.

It runs
from 12:00 to 5:00.

Okay, start around 3:00
and then work backwards.

There's like 97 buttons
on this thing.

Can I see that?

There's like 97 buttons
on this thin(Van Buren)
Find anything?

Hey. Still looking.

I put a FINEST message out
to all our commands,

and the state police
have issued an Amber Alert,

but there's still
no missing persons report

to tie into this.

There!
Play that forward.

White guy,
baseball cap.

What's that
on the kid's shirt?

W...A?

[softly]
W-A...

Warren.

Private school on 96th.

[knocking on door]

What's this about?

It's really better
if we talk inside, Ms. Fogarty.

Is your son Kevin
home from school?

No, I just got in
from work.

I was starting to wonder
why he wasn't here.

Is this your son?

Where'd you get that?

What's going on?

Have you heard
from Kevin?

No, I was trying to call Josh
on his cell phone,

and he wasn't picking up.

Who's Josh?

A high school boy
who watches Kevin after school.

Where's my son?

We're pretty sure
he was in a car

on 31st and 10th
with a man.

Do you recognize him?

Oh.
Oh, my God, no.

Kevin.

We're doing
everything we can

to find him, Mrs. Fogarty.

We'll need a recent photo
of Kevin.

I have one we took
last weekend.

And, uh, the boy, Josh,
we'll need an address

for him.

The Fogartys pay me
six bucks an hour

to watch Kevin
till they get home.

And you were
with him today?

Yeah.

But he's not here with you
and he's not at home.

I don't like your tone,
Detective.

Kevin's missing.

I don't know anything
about that.

I walked Kevin to his place
and I played video games

with him for awhile
and then I came home.

This glitter on your face,

it looks like
it's from eye shadow.

You weren't with Kevin
this afternoon.

You were making out
with somebody!

I met Kevin at his bus
like I usually do

and then I got a text
from this girl that I know.

She said her mom
wasn't gonna be home

for a couple of hours so...

So you hooked up
and left Kevin on the street?

He was only three blocks
from his apartment!

Did you notice anybody
watching him

where the bus
let him off?

Somebody following you
in a car maybe?

Hmm, last week this guy
tried talking

to one of the kids
when they got off the bus,

but after the kid screamed
and gave him the finger,

the guy left.

Do you remember anything else
about this guy?

He was old,
like my dad's age.

And...and he was standing
by his car.

A dark red car.

And I remember a decal
on its back window.

An eagle with a football
in its claws.

Flames coming
off its wings?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Maryland State
Blazing Eagles.

I dropped a lot of cash
on them a few years back.

(man)
You guys locate the car?

There it is
in the driveway

at 2767.

It's a burgundy Honda
registered to Charles Wright.

Mr. Wright got a sheet?

No, just a B.A. in sociology
from Maryland State.

We're gonna go check out
the car.

Okay.

Okay, guys.
Let's do this.

House looks quiet.

I see a blazing eagle decal
on the rear windshield.

There's a dark blue blanket
folded in the backseat.

The little window near the door,
the blinds just moved.

Go ring the doorbell.

Get back,
I have a gun!

Are you Charles Wright?

Did you hear what I said?
Get away from the house!

Okay, man, we're sorry.

We're leaving.

Jackpot.
Mm-hmm.

[police sirens]

[car door shutting]

(Green)
Suspect's in the house.

Says he's got a gun.

(Cassady)
No sign of the boy.

Okay, we sit.

We've got a hostage team
on the way.

Let's hope there is a hostage
and Kevin's still alive.

We got a couple here
saying they're

the boy's parents.

(Green)
Yeah, that's them.

Deal with them, please.

Is Kevin in there
with him?

We're not sure,

Mrs. Fogarty.

The news said
the guy had a gun.

That's just speculation.

Listen, we have
a command post

that's set up
in this house down the street.

The best thing for you to do
is to go there and wait.

We'll have this officer--
No.

We're staying right here.

(man)
We got movement
at the door!

Sir!

Sir, can I talk to you?

(man)
Get back or I'll start shooting!

All right, all right,
all right, I hear you.

I hear you.

Listen, um, I just need to know
that the boy's okay.

Oh, wha--what boy?

His name's Kevin.

I just need...

I just need you
to bring him to the door

so I can see
he's okay.

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

Look, if--if there's been
a mistake here,

this is the time
to clear it up, Mr. Wright.

Well, my brother-in-law
ain't here.

You're not Charles Wright?

You know who I am,
you're the ones got the warrant.

What kind of warrant?

The burglary?
In Flatbush.

We're not here
on a burglary.

We're looking
for a child abductor.

Hey, I'm no child abductor.

Sir, if there's
some warrant out for you,

we can clear that up.

Right now, you haven't done
anything wrong here.

So just put your gun
on the doorstep

and we'll straighten
this out.

I don't even have a gun.

Go, go, go!
And I didn't take no kid!

Look, after CSU
clears the house,

check it.

Cellar to attic.

Damn.

(Cassady)
John Lee Foster,

wanted for burg one
in Kings County.

We had him transported
to court in Brooklyn.

We wasted a half a day
out there.

That car was a hit,
Lieu.

The numbers were right
on the plates.

Well, I guess

the meter maid
got the numbers wrong.

How are the parents?

Not good.

TARU set up a nest kit
in their apartment,

but nobody calls.

[phone rings]
Almost 40 hours.
That's not good.

Van Buren.

Yes. Okay.

They're on their way.

The 1-1-10 in Queens

got a call from a crew
from the Parks Department.

Over there.

[softly]
Ugh.

It's him.

That's him.

eath

between 7:00 and 9:00
night before last.

While we were busy collaring
a burglar.

Smothered with what?

Well, I found blue
synthetic fibers in his mouth.

Maybe from a pillow
or blanket.

What else was done
to him?

If you're asking
about sexual abuse,

I found no evidence
of that.

Bruising on his arms
and torso

was probably
from being pinned down

when he was being smothered.

Other than that,
he's as perfect and innocent

as the day he was born.

Has the lab been
through the garbage bags?

All the trash was traced
to houses in the neighborhood.

All the houses checked out.

The do-er probably
picked up bags along the way,

just to pile on top
of the dead body.

The shopping cart
was from a local grocery store.

Local cart, local trash.

See if there
are any sex offenders

living in the area.

(man)
Yeah, I drive an Audi.

That's it right there.
Why?

And your whereabouts
two nights ago

between 7:00 and 9:00?

Is this about the kid
they found

over at the parkway?

You think I had something
to do with that?

You are a registered
sex offender.

Okay, 15 years ago when I was
a senior in high school,

I had sex with a girl
in the ninth grade.

Consensual sex.

But her parents caught us,
and I was prosecuted

for statutory rape,
and now I'm considered

a sex offender,
like I'm some kind of pervert.

And now you're gonna tell us
where you were two nights ago.

And Tuesday afternoon,
for that matter.

I was at work
at my office in the city.

I'm an accountant,
and it's almost April.

We're gonna verify that
with your employer.

You ever notice a red Honda
around here?

With an eagle decal?

Uh...Maryland plates,
right?

Yeah, I walk Nipper
every day before work.

I've seen that guy.

He, uh, comes from that way
right around 8:15.

Can you imagine our guy
wheeling a shopping cart

through here
with a body in it?

Yeah, it's always
the quiet neighborhoods.

Blue Velvet,
white picket fences

with a severed ear
on the lawn.

I love that movie.

[both laugh]

Oh, burgundy Honda,
ten o'clock.

Another burgundy Honda.

What are the odds?

There's residue
on the glass,

like something's
been scraped off.

A decal, for example.

FZF4758.

Two out of seven
doesn't win the lotto.

Uh-uh, see how the bottom
of the plate is cleaner

on the two Fs?

Put tape there
to make them look like Es.

EZE4.

Call in a 10-85
and check around back.

Manhattan homicide detective
to Central,

requesting assistance.

No exits in the back.

There's a kid in there
playing video games.

Roger Kraslow.

Hey.
Your parents home?

Uh, no, my dad's
at work.

Roger Kraslow,
that's your dad?

Yeah.
When will he be back?

Tonight.
Do you mind if we come in
for a minute?

I really have to go
to the bathroom.

Um, I don't know.

Please?

Okay, yeah.
I guess.

It's just down the hall.

Oh, thank you very much.

Tory?
Yeah.

It's a nice score, Tory.

You whupping
your dad's butt.

So where does he work?

Queens Plaza, he's the manager
at that copy place.

He knows about you
missing school today?

Yeah, he doesn't mind.
I was feeling sick.

Hmm.

GAMEBOX III.

Tried to get my nephew
one of those for Christmas,

but they were sold out.

Yeah.

Mm, uh.

Maybe you
should go now.

Why?
Is there some thing wrong?

Well, m-my dad just doesn't like
people in the house.

Why?
Has he got something to hide?

What?

Was there another boy here
a few days ago?

No.

Why do you keep
looking at your shoes?

I don't know.

You sure you're okay,
Tory?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I don't think you are.

What's going on, man?

[sighs]

Roger kidnapped me
five years ago

and I wanna go home.

(Green)
The kid's real name
is Tory Quinlan.

He was in Macy's when
he disappeared five years ago.

And he was in Queens
the whole time?

He says he was free
to come and go.

Even attends high school
in Flushing

under the name Tory Kraslow.

We first started talking
to him,

he was calling Kraslow "Dad."

So why isn't this Kraslow guy
in custody?

Did you check out
where he works?

He hasn't been in
in the last couple days.

He's in the wind.

ho rgi

He's Looks like Tory's parents.

Tory?

[whispering]
Tory, it's really you.

Oh!

[crying]

It's good to have you
back home.

We never gave up hope.

Oh!

And I thought
I'd seen it all.

Tory might know
where Kraslow's hiding.

We need to talk to him.

Only the Lord knows what
this boy's been through,Ed.

If you press him
on the details

of the last five years,
he might shut down entirely.

Stick to where
we can find Kraslow.

If he's not at work,
I don't know

where he's gonna be.

Does he have
any relatives?

His mother died.
She left him the house.

[sighs]

Did Roger ever take you
anywhere, Tory?

A friend's house?
Hotel?

Do we need to really put him
through this right now?

This won't take much longer,
Mr. Quinlan.

We mostly stayed home.

How about when Roger
got stressed out?

Was there a special place
he liked to go?

Uh...

I don't know what you mean.

I mean, a place
where boys might be playing.

A basketball court,
skateboard place?

Did Roger have a place
like that

he always went to?

Well...

he said he liked to watch
the boats,

but...

you know.

[seagulls crying,
whistle blowing]

[kids playing]

What is that,
a sloop or a schooner?

I can never tell
the difference.

Me neither.

I just like looking
at the boats.

Really?

'Cause you were checking out
that basketball game over there.

No, I wasn't.

Any good prospects, Roger?

Excuse me.

I'm taking you in, Roger,
for kidnapping

and murdering
that little boy!

No, I didn't hurt anybody!

No, please,
I need to go home!

I need to make dinner
for Tory.

I need to get home
to my son!

They've got
Kevin Fogarty's blood

in the defendant's car.

DNA and fiber matches
on the throw pillow

used to suffocate him.

Two A-1 felonies
and a capital murder.

This guy Kraslow
is a poster boy

for the death penalty.

You can only dream, Arthur.

I want his cup overflowing,
Jack.

I want him charged
with everything.

Including the murders.

Tory Quinlan alluded
in a vague way

to Kraslow abusing him,

but we haven't pushed
for details yet.

Something you guys
gotta see.

So how does it feel
to be back home safe and sound?

I feel really good
about it.

Did you ever lose hope
that you'd be found?

(Tory)
Not really.

(Mr. Quinlan)
We never stopped looking
for him, Callie.

I just wanted to thank
the police officers

who brought our son home.

The last thing that boy needs
is to be trotted around

like a circus freak.

Why don't you have
a little talk with the Quinlans?

Wherever we go with Tory,
people are just amazed

at this miracle.

I'm not sure
it's the best thing

for your son to have
all this exposure.

Tory is getting counseling,
Mr. McCoy.

I'm glad to hear that.

How's he doing?

Really good.

He's not back in school yet,
but he's acting

like a normal teenager.

He loves going to the studios
and doing the shows.

Uh, all these people
send these presents.

We're gonna sell
most of this stuff

to pay for some bills.

Is Tory spending any time
with kids his own age?

He really doesn't have
any friends.

Except for the ones
at the school in Queens.

I'm sure it will be
a difficult adjustment.

He may have to testify
at Roger Kraslow's trial.

But you caught the man
red-handed.

I really don't want Tory
to have to go through a trial.

Come on, Lisa.

Tory's gotta tough it out.

He's gotta go to court
and see this thing through.

Right, Mr. McCoy?

If we can spare him
the ordeal of a trial, we will.

In the meantime,
it'll be best to keep your son

out of the spotlight.

I'll be honest with you,
Ms. Kurland.

If the death penalty
were available to us,

we'd be seeking it.

I won't make any deal
where your client

has the remotest chance
of getting parole.

Then what's in it
for him?

He avoids the public humiliation
of a trial.

And if he has any shred
of human decency,

he won't put
the victims' families

through more than what
they've been through already.

You have to make it
worth his while.

25 to life.

(McCoy)
Not a chance.

40 to life, and he waives
all right to appeal.

He'll have to allocute
to intentional murder.

And I want a preview now.

So there are
no misunderstandings.

I told Kevin I was
just going to keep him

for a few days.

And that ihe didn't like it
with me, he could go home.

I let him stay
in Tory's bedroom

and play with
his old toys.

But...

but on the second night,
I caught him climbing

out the bedroom window.

I got very angry.

Then he started crying.

And that's when I threw him
down on the bed

and put one of the pillows
over his face

until he stopped.

A pillow from where,
Mr. Kraslow?

From the bed.

Describe it.

[softly]
It's...

like, what you sleep on?

In a white pillow case.

[sighs]

The offer's off the table.

Why?

What's going on?

We'll get back to you,
Ms. Kurland.

Wrong kind of pillow.

I even gave him a chance
to correct himself.

Maybe he thinks creating
an inconsistency

about the murder weapon
will give him grounds

for an appeal later on.

Let's make sure
we've got this right.

Go back to the crime scene
with the detectives

and nail it down.

We got the right pillow.

Kraslow's just messing
with you.

We found his prints
on the shopping cart.

That doesn't mean anything.

The next door neighbor
said Kraslow kept that cart

in the back
to use for gardening.

And what about
on the garbage bags?

Kraslow's prints
were only on the bag

the boy was found in.

It came from a box we found
under the kitchen sink.

He could've been using
gloves when he was

picking those other bags up
along the way.

I don't see
the problem here

since he's copping to it.

(Rubirosa)
Regardless of what he says,

we have to establish
his presence in the house

between 7:00 and 9:00
on the night of the murder.

There may be one way
to do it.

He liked to play video games
with Tory.

This keeps a record
of the players and the score

along with the date

and the times
of each game.

Maybe he was playing

the night he killed Kevin.

First game here.

1:17 AM.

Night of the murder.

Maybe that was just
the first game that was saved.

This box look brand new
to me.

The GAMEBOX was purchased
the night

Kevin Fogarty was killed.

8:03 PM at the Toy Barn
in the Syosset mall.

Smack in the middle
of our time of death window.

Who bought it?

Roger Kraslow.

I saw the store video
myself.

He was in Toy Barn at the time
Kevin Fogarty was killed.

There's no wiggle room
in these numbers?

The mall is an hour
from his house

in light traffic.

So Kraslow wasn't even home
at the time of the murder.

Pedophiles often share
their victims

with other pedophiles.

Maybe he has an accomplice.

If anybody knows about that,
it'd be Tory.

Let's talk to him.

Without his parents.

No, I never met
any of Roger's friends.

I don't...
I don't think he has any.

How 'bout someone
he invited over

to spend time with you?

To molest you?

No.

We know this is hard
for you, Tory,

but we need the truth.

Did Roger let anyone else
abuse you

or abuse Kevin?

No.

But, um...

But what?

Well, the first night
my dad, uh...

I mean--I mean Roger.

It's okay, Tory.

Well, the first night
he brought the kid home,

I was in the park
shooting baskets.

So I don't know
who was there.

I didn't get back
till late.

Kevin was already upstairs.

Roger told us
he had given him your room.

Yeah, he told me
to sleep on the couch.

It sounds
like you didn't mind.

Yeah.

I mean, I...
I slept there a lot.

You know, watching TV.

What about the second night?

[sighs]

The second night,
I was in my room

doing my homework.

And Roger was in his room.

Where was Kevin?

Kevin...Kevin ran away.

He ran away after dinner.

You know,
Roger was kinda bummed out.

And so he just stayed
in his room all night.

Hmm.

Is...

is Roger gonna go to jail
for a long time?

Yes, probably for the rest
of his life.

The fact that Roger's
going to jail

make you feel bad?

He's a--
he's a criminal.

He should be in jail.

Then why are you upset?

I don't know.

I guess 'cause of what
he did to me?

Am I done?

Almost.

Tory, the night Kevin died,

you absolutely sure
everything happened

the way you described?

Yes.

Can I go now?

I wanna go home
with my family.

That's fine.

He said Kraslow was home
all night,

which we know is a lie.

He told us Kevin
had escaped.

Which could be true.

Then how did he end up dead
in the shopping cart

that Kraslow kept
in his backyard?

Hold on, Tory.

Officers, arrest
this young man.

Arrest him?
For what?

The murder
of Kevin Fogarty.

But it was that man
who killed him!

Tory--you can't take him
away from us again!

You can't do this!
You're not taking him!

Step back, Mr. Quinlan.

(Tory)
Just get out of the way, Dad.

ging murder,

we need to revisit
the plea offer.

First, I wanna know

why he never told anybody
he had an alibi.

What difference
does it make?

You were sending me to jail

for the rest
of my life anyway.

I always appreciate a freebie,
Mr. Kraslow,

but I think
there's more to it.

I know you think
I'm a monster...

but I loved Tory
like a son.

Like a son
you sexually abused.

At first, yes.

I'm not in any mood
for a sob story!

You're a predator,
Mr. Kraslow!

But I'm still human.

As hard as that is
for you to accept.

And after everything I did,

it just wasn't right
to let Tory go to jail

if I could do it
for him.

Enough
of your treacly mea culpas.

(Kurland)
All right, let's talk numbers.

15 to life
for two counts of kidnapping.

I was taking his plea
to spare Tory Quinlan.

That's something I'm not
that concerned about anymore.

What makes you think
Tory wants a deal?

Your client has been
through far too much.

I don't think 25 to life
is his best option right now.

So dismiss.

We'll agree to intensive
psychiatric counseling.

Murder two, ten to life,

get counseling
from the state.

I don't think you fully grasp
the situation, Mr. McCoy.

This boy was held
in captivity for five years.

He was Roger Kraslow's
sexual plaything.

I've got
the most sympathetic defendant

in the annals
of criminal justice.

Facts win trials,
Mr. Young.

Which is why I'll change
Tory's plea

from not guilty
to not responsible

by reason of mental disease.

On what basis?

He killed because his free will
was overborne

by his captor.

He was suffering
from Stockholm Syndrome.

(Tory)
When Roger
first kidnapped me,

he kept me locked
in a room.

And he would come in
and do things to me.

(falpshiri) Sexual ?

I don't wanna talk
about that.

Okay, I understand.

Did you ever try
to run away?

Or ask somebody at school
for help?

[sighs]

I was--I was scared to.

But I prayed, you know,
that my family would find me.

Even these last few years?

Well, eventually
I lost hope, but...

by then Roger
had started being nice to me.

You know, taking me out
and buying me clothes I wanted

and CDs
and videos.

Why do you think
he came home

with another boy?

Well, I don't know.

I mean, I wasn't
around much this year.

You know, I got
on JV track.

Roger was okay with that?

Well, we had a big fight
about it.

He didn't want me to.

So you won that argument.

When Roger
brought Kevin home,

did that affect you
in any way?

Like how?

He let Kevin
use your room.

Play with your things.

Didn't he buy Kevin
an expensive video game?

It wasn't like that.

Was that a video game
that you wanted for yourself?

No. Roger didn't care
about Kevin.

Kevin was taken
from his family

just like you were.

Did you ever think
of trying to help him?

Why should I?

I mean, he was--
he was trying to run away.

Is that why you killed him?

I tried to get him to stop,
but he wouldn't.

He wouldn't listen
to me.

So that made you angry.

Well, yeah,
because if he ran away,

then Roger would get
in trouble.

Which would mean

you would have to go back
to your parents.

I have no doubt that the boy
was traumatized

and damaged.

To the extent
that he couldn't escape?

Well, escape
is the wrong word.

They'd settled
into a dynamic

that resembled a family.

A symbiotic father-son type
relationship.

What about his relationship
with Kevin Fogarty?

I'd have to say
that Tory demonstrated

a striking lack of empathy
to Kevin's situation.

Because his moral sense
had been eroded?

I think he viewed Kevin
as a rival

for Kraslow's affections,
as twisted as that was.

Tory was essentially
being replaced

with a younger version
of himself.

Are you saying he killed Kevin

because he was jealous
of him?

Partially.

I think he was
also lashing out at Kraslow

for replacing him.

Tory's not an automaton
who was programmed

to do Roger Kraslow's bidding.

He had free will
and he certainly knew

right from wrong.

I told Kevin
that if he was good,

I would buy him
something special.

I went to the store
to buy him

one of those GAMEBOXes.

And Tory
was supposed to watch him.

And when you got home...

Tory said that Kevin got away
while he was

in the bathroom.

And I thought it was true

until I saw it
on the news.

When was the last time
you molested Tory?

The last time

was two years ago.

(McCoy)
The last time you
threatened him or hit him?

(Kraslow)
I never hit him.

And I didn't have
to threaten him.

I just grounded him
if he didn't do his homework

or his chores,
that's all.

So you stopped molesting
my client

after three years
of captivity.

Why?

Because he stopped being
a little boy?

I didn't wanna do it
anymore.

Oh.

You didn't want to.

In those first three years,

how often did you
molest Tory?

Once a day?

I'm not sure.

Twice a day?

Three times?

I-I don't know.

You lost count.

Tell us.

Did Tory every cry...

when you molested him?

Sometimes, but, uh...

He was afraid,
wasn't he?

Afraid of getting hurt.

Well, at first, but...

Afraid of getting you angry.

Of doing the slightest thing
that would provoke you

to hurt him even more.

I don't know about that.

Even of running away.

No.

No.

We...

We were a family.

A family?

Maybe in your deviant mind.

Withdrawn.

Nothing further
for this witness.

(Morgan)
Tory exhibits a classic case
of capture bonding,

better known
as Stockholm Syndrome.

Bonding with his captor
as a son

was Tory's best hope
for survival.

Tory was free to attend school,
spend time with friends.

How is that captivity?

Tory may have been free
to come and go,

but he was bound
by invisible chains.

But these invisible chains
only explain

why Tory failed to escape.

How do they explain
an unsolicited act

of homicidal rage?

Consider what the boy's
been through, Mr. McCoy.

From Tory's point of view,
this was survival.

No.

It was murder

of a defenseless little boy.

Withdrawn.

We're getting
our asses kicked.

Thanks for sugarcoating it.

Any suggestions?

Call Young.

Offer Man Two.

Because we're losing
or because you feel sorry

for Tory Quinlan?

Even if you don't buy
the defense, Jack,

it mitigates what he did.

Which can be addressed
when he's sentenced,

after he's convicted.

(Rubirosa)
Tory keeps brushing something
from his jacket.

And earlier in the courtroom,
I could've sworn

he was wearing makeup.

The kind my sister used to wear
after a bad night

with her abusive boyfriend.

How thoroughly did we
check out the Quinlans?

Well, there wasn't much
to check out.

They moved to New York
18 months

before Tory was abducted.

Find out where
he used to live

and pull everything
you can find.

And we may need Lisa
as a rebuttal witness.

Doug and I moved here from Ohio
when Tory was ten.

Doug thought he could catch on
with the construction company.

But you've been on and off
public assistance?

That's right.

Doug isn't Tory's
biological father, is he?

No, he isn't.

Back in Ohio
when Tory was nine,

the school called
social services

when he showed up in class
with a broken jaw,

isn't that right?

I have the records
right here, Mrs. Quinlan.

That was nothing.

Tory fell off his bike.

(McCoy)
That's what your husband
told the authorities back then.

They had their doubts.

What about today,
Mrs. Quinlan?

Why does Tory
have a black eye?

[scoffs]

He doesn't have
a black eye.

Your Honor, I'd ask
that a court officer

use this handkerchief
to wipe the area

below the defendant's
left eye.

Objection.

No one's touching
my client.

Sustained.

What's going on, Mr. McCoy?

Mrs. Quinlan,
as we sit here today,

isn't it true that
your son has a black eye

under some makeup?

Because he wasn't used
to being home.

He walked into a door.

(McCoy)
A door?

A bicycle?

Is it possible, Mrs. Quinlan,
that one of the reasons

your son didn't return home
for five years

is that he was afraid
of your husband?

No!

That's a lie.

He was kidnapped!

It screwed up his head!

Or maybe he found
more love and acceptance

with a stranger
than with his stepfather.

(Young)
Objection!

(judge)
Sustained.

Nothing further.

Your grandstanding's
gonna backfire.

If anything, you've made him
more sympathetic.

I can see the argument for
extreme emotional disturbance.

I'll take a plea
of Man One.

I suggest
you seriously consider it.

It's considered.
And rejected.

I can't imagine
what you've been through, Tory.

But if you snapped
or made an error of judgment,

you can do your time
and put this behind you.

No.

Roger brainwashed me.

He made me do it.

Roger was 40 miles away.

You knew exactly
what you were doing.

I don't even believe
that Kevin

was trying to escape
that night.

I think you just wanted
to make him go away.

You don't know
what it was like!

You...don't...know.

Blame the victim.

That's the People's case.

And you should be outraged.

Rather than accept
the fact

that Tory Quinlan
was manipulated

and brainwashed

by a sexual predator,

they want you

to blame his family.

And now Tory
needs your help.

Because,
instead of psychiatric care,

the prosecution wants
to send him

to jail.

He's already been in jail,

ladies and gentlemen.

Roger Kraslow's
house of horrors.

We've entered a world here
that's truly outside

our experience.

Can we ever really explain
why Tory

didn't walk away?

Didn't seek the help
of his teachers

or the police
outside his school.

Something compelled him
to return

each day to that house,
to that man.

But think about the brutality

it requires
to suffocate a boy

with a pillow.

Can Stockholm Syndrome,
even if it exists,

explain that?

Can it explain

concealing the victim
in a garbage bag,

carting his body
through the neighborhood,

and dumping it
in the woods?

These acts were driven

by the history of violence
in Tory's family

and by some
of the oldest motives

in the book.

Jealousy.

And betrayal.

So he resorted
to the last refuge

of the desperate.

He put a pillow
over his rival's face

and held it there

until Kevin Fogarty
was dead.

(judge)
Has the jury reached
a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

On the charge of murder
in the second degree,

how do you find?

We find Tory Quinlan
guilty.

Oh!

It's okay, it's okay...

Until we dug up the dirt
on the Quinlans,

I would've bet
on a not responsible verdict.

It was a good catch,
Connie.

[sighs]

And what if Tory
was a well-adjusted kid

from a good family?

Not our facts.

I hope we never
have to try that case.

I take it you'll be
recommending the minimum?

It was a good win,
Jack.

Nobody won.
