[about Duke] We don't actually think he's good for it, right? This is Tommy's father.

Benson

Velasco, one thing you're going to learn in this job. You never know what anyone is capable of.

Cole's a suspect?

Benson

He is. We asked Michelle, and she says she remembers seeing Cole in the kitchen when her friend Mavis helped her down the stairs the next morning.

And Mavis corroborates?

Reluctantly. She hedged at first. Turns out, they're friendly with each other. Their kids go to the same school.

I'm sure they do. Cole Eaton is a prominent New York businessman. Major campaign donor, multiple charity boards.

So, he's got a lot to lose.

As do we all.

FFreeman

An assault at the Bishop Club? I have to tell you, Captain Benson, I am so upset. I hoped that we were finally making progress.

Benson

I'm sorry to say that we're not. We have ample evidence that this assault did occur.

FFreeman

For what it's worth, I did speak to the club, the alumni, and the boys' parents. They tell a different story.

Benson

Don't they always?

PGParlato-Goldstein

Counselor, let me ask you something. We talk about this all the time. How come you never charge rape as a hate crime?

Rape as a hate crime based on gender? It's just not something the DA's office does.

Benson

You know what? Maybe it's time.

JJacob

I didn't rape her, I swear to God!

Benson

But you helped them. And that's something you're going to have to live with, Jacob, for the rest of your life.

[Kubiak's phone buzzes]

Benson

You gonna get that?

KKubiak

Oh, it's just my wife.

Benson

Actually, it's a cell phone number that Jorge called a dozen times last week. The last one was at 9:00 am this morning.

That's your life sentence calling, dude.

Benson

You have anything to say?

KKubiak

Screw you. Also, lawyer.

Benson

[to Kubiak] You are disgusting.

KKubiak

You know what? You should be giving me more respect, because I can get you to these girls before they're shipped off to God knows where to do God knows what.

Benson

I can't believe that you're even thinking about giving that piece of crap any kind of deal.

BBaptiste

The priority is to find the girls and arrest the traffickers.

Benson

And you trust him?

BBaptiste

We don't have a choice.

[about Dustin] This guy's rap sheet looks like the ABCs of crime. Assault, battery, citations...

Benson

We can add D for drug possession.

And initially he waived Miranda? Is he that dense?

He said the only Miranda he needs is one that'll get on her knees.

Benson

So to answer your question, Carisi, that's a yes.

Benson

Our guy is a serial rapist, who's been getting away with it, for the past 20 years.

Oh, it's like the Justice League of America in here. Good, good, good.

Benson

Well, SVU from every borough, plus troopers and detectives, from Missouri to Jersey, and most states in between.

And we're in it until we figure out who this guy is. No leaves, no weekends. 1PP has signed off on all the overtime you need.

Benson

So the next time I want their attention, all I need to tell them is that we're looking for a nationwide serial rapist.

GGianpaolo

Another drug possession charge? This is getting a little old hat.

Oh, is it? Because it's just getting started. We're adding rape and assault to the list.

DDustin

We're back here again? I was cleared!

Benson

[showing him a picture of Demmy with a black eye] We're not talking about Kayla, Dustin.

DDustin

Demmy's accusing me? She's a liar! You can't believe a word that bitch says!

Hey, that's your sister! Show some respect!

Benson

He doesn't know the meaning of the word, counselor.

GGianpaolo

Can we clarify for a minute? Are you saying my client raped and assaulted his own sister?

Benson

Would you like to answer that question, Dustin? And, before you do, know that we have your DNA on the rape kit.

DDustin

Maybe she planted that, like the wallet.

Benson

Did she beat herself up, too?

GGianpaolo

What's going on here?

Benson

What's going on? Your client has been raping his sister since she was 12 years old!

DDustin

First of all, it's not rape! She and I... we raised each other on our own. We needed each other.

GGianpaolo

Dustin, stop talking now...

DDustin

She wanted it! She started it!

Benson

She wanted it? I can't listen to this. [to Gianpaolo] Walk your client through his options. There aren't many.
