NARRATOR: 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.

DOCTOR: You have
to tell me, Shane.

Look, I can't.

This is not a cold.
It's gonorrhea.

Whoever gave this to you
could spread it to somebody else.

All right, but you
won't tell my parents?

I'm not gonna tell anyone
unless you say it's okay,

but I do have to tell the
girl that you slept with.

Look, it's not a girl.

Okay, it's a woman.

Holden tells Phoebe he wishes
he could stand in that field of rye

and catch the children
about to fall off a cliff.

Anyone want to take a
stab at what that means?

Mr. Bluth?

That he wishes someone
was there to catch him?

Nice save.

Mrs. Trent? Yes?

Can we speak to you a minute?

Ryan, write three images from
Holden's dream on the board

while I'm outside.

If you can stay
awake long enough.

How can I help you?

Detectives Benson and Stabler.

Please turn
around, face the wall

and put your hands
behind your back.

I'm being arrested? For what?

Statutory rape.

I didn't rape anyone.

You had sex with
a 15-year-old boy.

That's against the law.

Did Shane tell you that?

No, his pediatrician called
the child abuse hotline

after Shane told him
that you had seduced him.

That's not what happened.

Shane raped me.

Mrs. Trent's my English
teacher, and she came on to me.

We had sex. She just...

SHANE: She made
me do it. Made me do it.

I begged him not to, but
he forced himself on me.

STABLER: When?

About two months ago.

Where?

In Shane's apartment.

BENSON: In Shane's apartment?

What were you doing there?

Tutoring him for his PSATs.

PSATs. I wanna...

I wanna go to one of the Ivies.

I called Mrs. Trent. She said she
could come Tuesdays after school.

My wife and I both work.

We had no idea what happened.

How many times did you
have sex with your teacher?

Just once.

Where'd she come on to you?

My bedroom.

SARAH: He shut the door

and started stroking my face.

I told him to stop,
but he wouldn't.

SHANE: She started
saying all this weird stuff.

Like, you know, how she
can't stop thinking about me

and how she's in love with me.

He pinned me against the
wall so I couldn't get away.

Then he pulled my skirt down.

Then she was touching
me and she was kissing me,

and I guess I couldn't
help it, you know?

I got excited.

Sarah, did you save the clothes

that you were wearing that day?

I threw out the torn blouse
and I washed everything else.

Why would you do that
if you were innocent?

Because I didn't want
my husband to know.

Do we have anything
besides his word against hers?

Only that she was fired
from her last teaching job.

The school wouldn't
be more specific.

We're gonna need a
subpoena for her records.

NOVAK: What about Shane?

Honors student, no history
of acting out, clean record.

Not the kind of kid who
suddenly becomes a rapist.

NOVAK: Doesn't leave us
with a whole lot of options.

Mr. and Mrs. Mills, this is
Captain Cragen, A.D.A. Novak.

Did she confess?

Well, she claims
Shane raped her.

No! I swear, I didn't.

She is going to jail, right?

Not tonight. We don't have
enough evidence to arraign her.

That woman took
advantage of him!

And our best chance to convict
her is to build a strong case

before we go to court.

Three days.

You arrest her, or
we'll go to the media

and say that you let
our boy's rapist go free.

She's good. We can't shake her.

Shane's sticking
to his story, too.

I don't suppose Sarah
copped to having gonorrhea.

She said, "No way."

CRAGEN: Can we get
a court order to test her?

Well, if she's been treated, there's
no way to prove she ever had it.

Unless she has some leftover
antibiotics in her apartment.

Which would at least tell
us whether or not she's lying.

I'll get a court
order in the morning.

Ask Doc Warner
which meds to look for.

Bedroom's clean.
You got anything?

Yeah. Samples of Augmentin.

That's on Warner's list.

And six of these. No labels.

We'll have the lab test it.

JIMMY: Hey, you finally
finished fixing that outlet?

Who the hell are you?

Police, Mr. Trent.

What are you doing here?

We're executing
a search warrant.

For what?

You haven't spoken
with your wife?

No. Is she all right?
What happened?

One of her students
accused her of rape.

Okay. Well, the
kid is lying. All right?

There is no way that my wife
would have sex with a student.

Was she taking
these for gonorrhea?

What? Are you crazy? No!

She has a urinary
tract infection.

Look, what'd you do?

Did you put her in jail?

We released her last night.

You haven't seen her?

No.

I'm a firefighter. I'm
just off a 48-hour tour.

Sarah should be at work.

The school suspended her.

Oh, my God.

She didn't pick up
when I called last night.

I just figured she was sleeping.

If she tries to hurt herself...

Has she ever attempted suicide?

Once.

She used to cut herself,
you know, on her arms.

Before we got married, she...

It just went straight
to voice mail.

Did it ring first?

Four times.

Well, then her phone's still on.

We may be able to track her.

What'd you get?

Ruben Morales, meet Mr. Manners,
Chester Lake, my new partner.

MORALES: Your gal's somewhere
in that building across the street.

That's the best you can do?

We just drove
around for two hours

tracking down that cell signal.

Well, yeah, and there's a couple
hundred offices in that building.

How are we gonna know which one?

With this gizmo.

It's accurate to within 5 feet.

Signal's coming from down there.

Family Planning Services?

You know, they
give out birth control.

And do abortions.

Can I help you?
Where's Sarah Trent?

I can't give out
patient information.

FIN: Look, lady, unless
you want us to bust in there...

Try it and I'll have our
lawyer here in two seconds.

He's right down the hall.

Great. I'll go tell him
you're obstructing justice.

She can't talk to you now
anyway. She's in surgery,

and you're not coming
in without a warrant.

It's empty!

I'll check across the hall.

Okay, I got this one.

Hey, have you see
any judges around?

It's an emergency, I need
someone to sign a warrant.

Judge Bradley, he just
headed for the elevator.

Thanks. Olivia?

You got one?

This way!

If we can catch him.

Judge Bradley!

Late for lunch, Ms. Novak?

I need you to sign this. Oath.

I swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth

and nothing but the
truth, so help me God.

Sarah Trent committed stat
rape with one of her students.

She's having an
abortion as we speak.

Why do you need the
products of conception?

For DNA, to prove
who the father is.

Your warrant states both
parties admit sex took place.

That fetus is the only
physical evidence of a rape.

The information in
this warrant is truthful?

It is.

Based on your personal
knowledge, Detective?

It is, Your Honor.

It better be.

Thank you. Go.

Fin, warrant's on the way.

STABLER: Where's Sarah?

She got out of surgery
about an hour ago.

Must still be in recovery.

Okay, get that over
to the M.E.'s office.

Have Warner rush the DNA.

Sarah Trent,

you're under arrest for
trying to hide evidence.

Please,

don't tell my husband.

You have the right to remain
silent. Anything you say can

and will be used against
you in the court of law.

You have the
right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one...

That's not... one will
be appointed to you.

Okay?

We need a doctor over here.

JIMMY: Where's Sarah?

Hospital called and said
she was unconscious.

Did she try to hurt herself?

No, she fainted.

From what?

The doctor said she
had low blood pressure.

How did you know
that Sarah was here?

Abortion?

She had an abortion?

Jimmy...

They're lying, right?

Sarah, you would
never have an abortion.

I had to. You had to?

You're gonna
try to justify this?

I was raped.

It doesn't matter, Sarah.

You killed a child!

Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy.

Jimmy, don't!
Please don't hurt him.

Don't hurt him!

BENSON: You okay?

I got him. I got him.

You had no right.

I'm sorry!

I didn't know what else to do!

She took a life and
you are arresting me?

I don't see how
this makes sense.

Well, I'll clear it up for you.

Assaulting a cop
is against the law.

Abortion isn't. Yeah,
well, it should be.

Listen to me now, I'm
Catholic. I understand...

Then you believe
abortion is a sin.

I believe I just saw your wife up
there begging you for forgiveness.

We've been trying to
get pregnant for so long.

How can I forgive her?

Maybe by realizing how desperate

she had to have been
to do what she did.

You know that kid raped her.

Now, listen to me.
Sarah's still in trouble.

She needs you.

What are you doing?

Showing you forgiveness.
Go to your wife.

Look, I'm sorry. I
just lost it in there.

I know.

Change of heart?

Look, he's got enough
problems without an assault collar.

He sure does.

Warner just called
with the DNA results.

Shane was the baby's father.

Doesn't prove anything.

Now you don't
think she's guilty?

Look, you saw the
desperation on her face.

'Cause she knew that
it wasn't her husband's.

I just got a fistful of why
she wouldn't wanna tell him.

Then why didn't she get an
abortion before we collared her?

And what were those
antibiotics doing in her apartment?

He told us.

That she had a
urinary tract infection.

You think she'd tell him
if she had gonorrhea?

Probably didn't tell him why she
was fired from her last job, either.

Seems she took male students
to lunch despite warnings to stop.

You came all the way
up here just to tell us that?

No, to show you these.

LAKE: Sent to us anonymously.

Still think she's innocent?

"Docket ending 709,
People v. Sarah Trent.

"One count each, Rape
in the Second Degree

"and Obstructing
Governmental Administration."

Russell Hunter for the defense.

My client pleads not guilty,

and for the record, isn't Rape
Two a little over the top here?

Excuse me?

I mean, this boy is a victim only
in the statutory sense, isn't he?

If I heard right,
you just admitted

your client raped a
15-year-old student.

Get your ears checked.
I'm saying no one reported

this so-called rape until
two months after the fact.

His doctor's the one
who called the police.

Prompting Mrs. Trent to destroy

the evidence by secretly
aborting her fetus.

Are you saying my
client should have asked

the Government's permission
to terminate her pregnancy?

Last time I checked, Roe v.
Wade hasn't been overturned yet.

Your Honor, the People
are hardly trying to dispute

Mrs. Trent's right
to obtain an abortion.

Nevertheless, Ms. Novak,
I am dismissing the count

of Obstructing
Governmental Administration.

I will hear your application
on the rape charge.

Mrs. Trent is not a flight risk.

The People request $50,000 bail.

HUNTER: We object,
Your Honor, and ask

that the warrant
for the products

of my client's conception
be suppressed.

I signed that warrant
myself, Mr. Hunter.

On what grounds?

That the seizure of the fetus
violates her First Amendment right

to freedom of religion.

And you, sir, are violating the limits
of my patience. Counsel approach.

This is not a Chinese
restaurant, young man.

You don't pick from Column B if
your Column A defense doesn't hold up.

Your Honor, Sarah
Trent is a devout Catholic.

She believes life
begins at conception

and that even a
fetus has a soul.

If she believes that
even a fetus has a soul,

then she must believe
that abortion is murder.

That's between my
client and her God.

But the fact remains,
the police seized the fetus

without asking my client
whether she wanted to bury it,

abrogating her constitutional
right to practice her religion.

Your Honor, this is ridiculous.

This is dangerous
ground, Ms. Novak.

I'm not ruling without
some research.

But it would help if I knew
whether the police made any effort

to find out if Mrs. Trent
wanted to bury her fetus.

Of course we didn't
ask. Should we have?

According to
Sarah's attorney, yes.

If you're gonna abort, then
why get all religious afterwards?

It's all about balance.

What? What are
you talking about?

Your spirit lives in
every part of your body.

Now, if you remove
a small part of that,

it knocks you off balance.

Mohawks believe the
only way to get it back

is to give the body
part a proper burial.

I've heard of Catholics
burying a fetus after miscarriage.

NOVAK: This is a legal ploy.

Sarah's lawyer's
trying to bury our case.

Yeah, well, he's got
his work cut out for him.

Did you find something out?

The lab did. The stuff
in those ampoules

from Sarah's apartment
is called Lupron.

It's used for in
vitro fertilization.

We subpoenaed the Trents' medical
records from their fertility clinic.

He's the reason they
couldn't conceive.

Slow swimmers.

So Sarah knew Shane
had to be the father.

Still doesn't prove
which one of them

is telling the truth
about what happened.

You said Sarah was
a recovering cutter?

According to her husband, yeah.

It's a symptom of borderline
personality disorder.

Many of the female
teachers who have been

in the news for
seducing their students

exhibit varying degrees of BPD,

and borderline personalities
can't take rejection.

Which means what?

It means that if she
really is in love with Shane,

I don't think she'll be
able to stay away from him.

So, let's sit on her,
see where she goes.

Let's cover our asses.

We'll sit on both of them.

Shane went in two hours
ago and hasn't come out since,

and no sign of anyone else.

Any action there?

FIN: Just a bunch of media
vultures circling for Sarah.

While she sneaks out
through the basement.

Over there.

Wrong hair color.

It's a wig. That's Sarah.

Belay that last transmission.

Elvis just left the building.

Check it out. Shane's
on the move, too.

BENSON: Any idea
where Sarah's headed?

Looks like Sarah's
taking the A-train.

Two to one, she's
headed to the subway.

I'm gonna follow on foot.

Kid's making it easy.

He just got on the
bus. We're on him.

Is Sarah going
uptown or downtown?

Fin? Do you hear me?

Radio must not be
working underground.

10-4. Sit tight
till he calls in.

LAKE: Roger that.

As long as we don't
lose Shane, we're all right.

LAKE: You still on Shane?

He's just getting off the bus
and heading into the Lydia Hotel.

LAKE: That's a couple
of blocks from the A-train.

She may already be there.

Five minutes?

Let's see if we can
catch them in the act.

Hey, the kid who just
came in here, what room?

What kid?

The 15-year-old we're gonna
tear this place apart looking for.

Room number.

211.

Was a woman with him?

She showed up first.

What...

BENSON: Put your
clothes on, Shane.

Sarah, get up.

My name's Felice.

Shane's with a pross.
Sarah's not here.

You shouldn't play
with hookers, Shane.

That's how you get the burn.

I was punk'd. You're a rapist.

No, I'm not.

Did you enjoy putting
your teacher through hell?

What are you talking
about? I didn't do it. Dirtbag.

It was my first time with him.

So how'd you two meet?

He e-mailed my boss.

FIN: Two to one, I got Sarah.

Where?

FIN: She's going to church.

I guess she wanted to
avoid being recognized

at her neighborhood parish.

Where'd Shane find the hooker?

BENSON: The Internet.

He said he wanted a
massage before we did it.

You know, to help him relax.

Kid was a nervous wreck.

He ask you for anything else?

He wanted me to fight him.

You know, like
he was forcing me.

Said he saw it on
some Russian website.

But he kept saying he was sorry.

That your first time with Shane?

What's going on here?

FIN: We've been pulling
them in since last night.

What? Shane slept
with all these women?

A bunch of times with some.

Excuse me. Monique,
where you think you're going?

Hey, Casey. Check this out.

STABLER: Go ahead.

I gave the kid the clap.

But I told him to
get himself checked.

Well, aren't you the
poster girl for public health.

There's more. Just wait. Liv?

Listen to this, go on.

Last time I screwed Shane,

he was bragging that he did
his teacher, ripping her clothes off

just how he practiced with me.

Practice makes perfect.

Sarah Trent wasn't fired from
her last job for taking boys to lunch.

She was their faculty
advisor, it was legit.

So what happened?

Well, principal was
putting moves on her.

He did a preemptive strike
so she wouldn't out him.

Same thing Shane did when
he accused Sarah of rape.

Bibi here just told us where
Shane got the idea for rape.

It's enough for me.

I'll dismiss the
charges against her.

You go collar Shane.

Shane Mills is not a rapist.

New client, Sophie?

DEVERE: His parents
retained me last night.

They're not kidding when
they say he's got a problem.

He's a bona fide sex addict.

Which in no way excuses
what he did to his teacher.

It will when I prove
that he was powerless

to stop himself
from attacking her.

NOVAK: All that matters
is whether Shane Mills

knew raping Sarah
Trent was wrong.

Your Honor, the filth that the police
found on the defendant's computer

would make Larry Flynt blush.

This kid spends
most of his free time

looking at porn on the Internet.

Every adolescent boy in
America looks at Internet porn.

But I would venture that
most of them haven't slept

with a couple of dozen hookers.

Excessive as that
is, Ms. Devere,

it's hardly grounds
for an insanity plea.

We're not pleading insanity.

My client acted under duress.

Nobody put a gun to his head.

The gun was inside his head in
the form of uncontrollable impulses

that the neurotransmitters in
his brain won't let him resist.

Your Honor, if you let
her use this defense,

you're opening the door for every
pedophile caught raping a child

to claim his brain
made him do it.

Shane Mills is not a pedophile.

His record is clean.

He's a straight-A student.

This is a good kid.

Who raped his teacher

and then accused her of
seducing him to cover it up.

Which is why neither of us wants

a conviction
overturned on appeal.

You have your
defense, Ms. Devere.

I'd be happy for
the People's expert

to give his own psychiatric
examination of my client.

I was on the computer one day when
I was 10, and this pop-up appeared,

and it was a video of
this guy and girl screwing.

Do you remember
how that made you feel?

Yeah, I got excited.

You know, I wanted to
do what they were doing.

Do you think that's why
you spend so much time

looking at porn on the Internet?

Yeah. It's amazing.
Every day, I just...

I find something new.

Shane's responses indicated
an early predisposition

toward sex addiction,

so I drew blood and I ran
a series of genetic tests.

The results showed Shane has
extra copies of his DRD4 gene,

which helps control
one's sex drive,

and a defect in his 5-HTT gene,

which regulates the
transport of serotonin.

How many times a
day do you masturbate?

I don't know. Five,
six, sometimes more.

Even when you're at school?

Yeah, but if I'm in
class and I get the urge,

I just ask to go
to the bathroom.

HUANG: We did imaging studies
on Shane's brain using functional MRI.

His nucleus
accumbens, the addiction

and pleasure
center of the brain,

and his amygdala
and hypothalamus,

associated with
aggression and sex drive,

all showed higher than normal
baseline levels of metabolic activity.

When we showed him images
as tame as women in bathing suits,

those same areas
of his brain lit up

like fireworks on
the Fourth of July.

How did you feel when you
found out you had gonorrhea?

I was scared.

Scared enough to stop
having sex with prostitutes?

I tried. I couldn't.

Engaging in high-risk behavior

and knowing the danger is
the Rosetta stone of addiction,

and Shane's is
way out of control.

Is it possible it caused
him to rape Sarah Trent?

Well, it would be
rare. I've never seen it.

But, yes, it is possible.

Should Shane be
held accountable?

Yes, or you'd have to excuse
anyone who commits a crime

and knows that it's wrong.

Thank you. Nothing further.

Doctor, what role
does the brain's

prefrontal cortex
play in behavior?

It's associated with
decision-making and impulse control.

And that part of the brain is fully
developed at what point in life?

About age 20.

So a 15-year-old like Shane
wouldn't have the same ability

to control his impulses
as, say, you or I.

Well, anyone who has
children knows that to be true.

Given Shane's
genetic predisposition,

isn't it possible that Shane
knew what he was doing,

but it was physically impossible
for him to stop himself?

What you're asking
is the point at which

biological drives
overpower reason,

and I can't answer that.

I don't think anyone can.

Why was Shane put on
Prozac after he was arrested?

I'm not his psychiatrist.
I don't know.

But you do know that an SSRI
antidepressant such as Prozac

would raise his serotonin levels

and curb his insatiable
appetite for sex,

isn't that correct?

HUANG: It can, yes.

So, if Shane's
condition is treatable,

do you think that
he belongs in prison?

Objection.

Withdrawn.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

DEVERE: Shane, did
you force Sarah Trent

to have sex with
you against her will?

Yes, I did.

Can you tell us why?

I don't know.

I just... I couldn't
stop myself.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

People's eight, Your Honor.

Now, these pictures of Sarah
Trent were sent to the police,

found on your computer.

Did she pose for you?

No.

Then where did you get them?

I took her pictures
from our yearbook,

and I Photoshopped them
onto somebody else's body.

NOVAK: Was this before
or after you raped her?

After.

To cover up what you'd done?

Yeah.

Now, how many times did
Sarah Trent beg you to stop

when you were raping her?

I don't know. I didn't count.

Oh, no, you were too busy.

I told you I couldn't stop.

What? You couldn't
or you didn't feel like it?

I don't know, okay?

I didn't think of it as rape.

You didn't? Now, is that because
you know that rape is wrong?

Of course I know rape is wrong!

So, the whole time she was
begging you to stop raping her,

you knew what you
were doing was wrong.

I just I wish it didn't
happen, okay?

I wish it didn't happen.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

No further questions.

PETROVSKY: You
may step down, Mr. Mills.

We're in recess until tomorrow.

I need you to do
something for me.

I don't know what to say.

Me, either.

Then why'd you come?

Because I'm trying really hard
to understand what happened.

I just... I screwed up.

I just... I really hope
you can forgive me.

I can't yet, Shane.

But I'm...

I'm working on it.

The medication that
they gave me helps.

It stops me from having
those feelings all the time.

You mean about sex.

Yeah.

Are you gonna stay on them?

I'm gonna do
whatever they tell me.

I just... I don't ever
wanna hurt anybody again.

Please don't send him to prison.

I can live with my pain,

but I can't live with
destroying Shane's life

if there's a chance
he can be helped.

Casey, you know
it's the right thing.

He pleads guilty to the
rape and assault three.

He does 18 months’ probation in
a private, secure treatment center

for juvenile sex offenders.

And if he successfully
completes his treatment?

The judge dismisses his
rape charge, his record's clean

and he does not spend the rest of
his life as a registered sex offender.

You screw up, though, and
you're doing the full monty,

seven years for the rape.

She's giving you a
second chance, Shane.

Don't blow it.

I promise. I won't.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

SHANE: He just... He
jumped me in the hallway

and then he pushed
me into my room.

Did you see him?

No. He pulled a laundry
bag over my face.

He kicked the
crap out of me first,

and then he threw me on
my bed and he raped me.

Would you recognize his voice?

No. He didn't say a word.

How could you let
them do this to me?

What time was
Shane Mills assaulted?

I'm not sure. My second-in-command
called me at midnight.

That's Shane's room.

This is a crime scene.

Why is there a
garbage can out here?

Hey, you! You get out, now.

The bed's been stripped.

We've lost all of
our trace evidence.

Who is in charge, Mr. Feldron,
when you're not here?

My night supervisor,
but she went home.

Well, then get
her ass back here,

and I want every
surveillance tape

you have within the
next five minutes.

I'm sorry, but our security
system has been down for months

and corporate
won't pay to fix it.

Well, then how do you propose
we find the perv that raped that boy?

Take your pick. I've got 50 hard-core
sex offenders locked up here.

Then I'm gonna talk to every
single one of them tonight.

Now you get a guard
posted on this door.

I want whoever did this to burn.

Are you sure? Because I
wouldn't want to punish someone

who's not responsible
for his actions.

Don't you dare put
this mess off on me.

I put Shane in this mess because I
bought into your sideshow in court.

I gave Shane my best
defense. I did my job.

Do yours.

MAN: Treatment center?

Why don't you try
waste treatment center.

This place is a cesspool.

NOVAK: Why is that?

Because everybody's doing it.

And when the guys aren't
out having sex with each other,

then they're off boffing
the staff, men and women.

Which staff members?

What? Are you crazy, lady?

They'll cut my balls
off if I give you names.

Let's just say it goes
to the top, all right?

The administrator?

No, Feldron's clean. Grab-ass
starts at night when he's gone,

and there ain't nobody
around to stop it.

It was worse than usual tonight.

Where were the guards?

Where they always are,
catching Z's in their office.

It gets scary around here, man.

That kid Shane's not the
only kid that's been raped.

How many others?

I hear two.

Do you have any idea
who might have done them?

Maybe.

You can tell me.

Everybody else thinks
we deserve this crap.

What makes you all
bleeding-heart caring?

Nobody has the
right to touch you.

Pete was hanging around.

He usually doesn't work nights.

Who's Pete?

One of the guards.
I saw him at 7:30.

He's usually gone by 4:00.

Pete Lincoln wasn't approved
for overtime yesterday.

Then why was he here for more
than three hours after his tour ended?

I'll check, but Pete's
as clean as they come.

He's a retired cop from Florida.

First one I'd rule
out as a suspect.

Well, is there anyone who works
here that you wouldn't rule out?

I don't think I like
your tone, Ms. Novak.

Answer the question.

We don't hire criminals.

Really? Then who's responsible

for the two other
clients that were raped?

Those animals are
doing it to each other.

They're predators.

That kid tonight got
what he deserved.

That is right, because
he and the rest of them

are nothing but human garbage.

Get away from me. I am
gonna find whoever's been

brutalizing these kids,
and I'm gonna prove

you've been protecting him to
save your own ass, you son of a bitch.

Nobody reported being
attacked. BENSON: Hey!

NOVAK: Or maybe you just
ignore them because they're animals.

BENSON: What the
hell are you doing?

She's crazy.

Make sure you
get personnel files

on every one of
his employees. Now.

What the hell are you doing?

He ordered his men to
clean up the crime scene.

That's my problem. Not yours.

These people didn't
even call the police.

That's obstruction of justice!

And grabbing
his shirt is assault,

which I, unfortunately,
just witnessed.

What are you gonna
do? You gonna arrest me?

I may not have a choice.

Casey, you're drowning here,

and unless Stabler can convince
that guy to change his mind,

I can't even throw
you a life jacket.

I'm a big girl. I
know how to swim.

How's Shane?

About to go into surgery.

STABLER: Why?

To put his arm back together.

The bastard who
raped him shattered it.

You can't be blaming
yourself for this.

Why not?

I convict kids like
Shane all the time,

and I have no idea what
happens to them afterwards.

I should have checked before
I put Shane into that hell hole.

That's not your job.

Whose is it?

Is it yours? The
Court's? Legislature?

The best way you
can protect these kids

is by nailing the son of a
bitch who did this to Shane.

I'm not gonna be much use
to you after I take that collar

for assaulting Feldron.

Well, when I told him
what a world of hurt

that would bring on
him, he backed off.

Thanks.

Doc said the rape kit had
plenty of hairs and fluid for DNA.

Bad news is, we can't swab
every Kastner Center employee

without probable cause.

So, help us find it in
the personnel jackets.

They call this a
personnel jacket?

Where's the background investigation,
evaluations, fitness reports?

All kept at Kastner's headquarters
in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

What kind of
corporation is this?

One that states pay
to run their prisons.

And it got into the sex offender
rehab business a couple years back.

This guard has a menacing and
misdemeanor possession of crack.

I'll raise you one criminal
mischief and two stolen cars.

Everyone who works in
that place has a record.

All except the administrator,
the night supervisor

and that guard, Pete Lincoln.

Let's see, 22 years
with the Tampa PD,

three years as a
guard at the Gulf Coast

Sex Offender
Rehabilitation Center.

Then why come
all the way up here

for a job that pays
minimum wage, huh?

Special Victims,
Detective Stabler.

Apparently that's the going
rate for everyone at Kastner

except for management.

Must be how they attract
the cream of the crop.

Warner just called. DNA's back.

NOVAK: We get a hit?

Earl Romaine, 43,
raped a 13-year-old boy.

I don't remember seeing his name

on the list of Kastner
Center employees.

Warner's e-mailing his
mug shot and rap sheet now.

Can't wait to find out how this
dirtbag got in there to rape Shane.

Maybe that guy let him in.

What? Pete Lincoln?

This is the real Pete Lincoln,

and he still works at that
Sex Offender Center in Florida.

Well, if that's not
Pete Lincoln...

BENSON: It's gotta be Earl
Romaine impersonating him.

Okay, it's 2:00 and
Romaine's tour starts at 4:00.

He lives in Greenpoint.

What are you staring at?

One sorry-ass white boy.

You got a problem
with me, spook, bring it.

That's Detective
Spook to you, Romaine.

Earl Romaine, you're under
arrest for the rape of Shane Mills.

Screw you.

Sorry, you're not his type.

NOVAK: Romaine stole
Guard Pete Lincoln's identity

so he could get a job
at the Kastner Center

where he'd have
unlimited boys to rape.

Romaine's a registered
sex offender in Florida.

The Kastner Center
would have found that out

if they'd bothered
to run his fingerprints.

We found dozens
of e-mails proving

the people who ran
the Kastner Center

knew the two other rape victims

had identified Romaine
as their attacker,

but did nothing to stop him.

Now, after the Governor
found out what had happened,

he ordered all Kastner Center
clients moved to juvenile detention,

and the place
closed down for good.

We're looking into
filing criminal charges

against the Kastner corporation.

Shane didn't
finish his treatment.

Are you going to
send him to jail?

Ms. Novak and I
worked out a deal.

I'm recommending to the judge
that Shane be released on probation

and continue his treatment
on an outpatient basis.

Same rules apply, though.

You mess up and
you're going to prison.

Understand?

Yes.

I really hope I'm not
prosecuting Shane

for another rape
two years from now.

You don't think the
treatment will help him?

It didn't help the
scum who raped him.

Romaine's an adult.
He needs to be locked up

until we can find a way
to fix him, if there is a way.

Shane's a kid. He
deserves a second chance.

SARAH: Ms. Novak?

It's all over the news.

Is Shane the kid who got
raped at the Kastner Center?

I'm afraid so, yes.

It's not your fault, honey.

He's gonna be okay.

We're actually about to
go question his attacker.

Is it true that the
Kastner Center is offering

Shane a million dollars
not to file a lawsuit?

I hadn't heard.

Yes. Yeah, that's true.

JIMMY: How crazy is the law?

That kid raped my wife

and he gets a million bucks.

What does Sarah get?

She gets nothing, right?

Let's get out of here.

I don't blame him.

You know he didn't
mean to hurt her.

Hey! It's not his fault that the
law hasn't caught up to science.

Hey. The law's
one size fits all.

It's not customized
for every brain.

Shane knew right from wrong.

BENSON: You're sure
you don't want a lawyer?

Don't need one.

I'd rethink that if
I were you, Earl.

It is your DNA
inside Shane Mills.

This time you're
never getting out.

Too bad all that treatment you
had down in Florida didn't take.

I guess I'm just wired bad.

I can't help myself.

You know, like that kid I raped.
