Law & Order: Special Victims Unit · Season 1
[about Dustin] This guy's rap sheet looks like the ABCs of crime. Assault, battery, citations...
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.
So to answer your question, Carisi, that's a yes.
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.
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.
So the next time I want their attention, all I need to tell them is that we're looking for a nationwide serial rapist.
I know you didn't like it when we arrested that other guy. You wanted the credit, right? Now's your time to shine. Tell people who you really are. Otherwise, you're just gonna be another little, gray man in a prison jumpsuit.
I took what I wanted because I could. It was there, it was easy. I moved up and down those highways and I left not a ripple in my wake.
Yeah, can you tell me more about that?
Okay, okay. Ya'll said this is being videotaped, right?
It is.
Good. Maybe someday, maybe Dateline or Netflix wants to do a special on me.
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.
We're back here again? I was cleared!
[showing him a picture of Demmy with a black eye] We're not talking about Kayla, Dustin.
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!
He doesn't know the meaning of the word, counselor.
Can we clarify for a minute? Are you saying my client raped and assaulted his own sister?
Would you like to answer that question, Dustin? And, before you do, know that we have your DNA on the rape kit.
Maybe she planted that, like the wallet.
Did she beat herself up, too?
What's going on here?
What's going on? Your client has been raping his sister since she was 12 years old!
First of all, it's not rape! She and I... we raised each other on our own. We needed each other.
Dustin, stop talking now...
She wanted it! She started it!
She wanted it? I can't listen to this. [to Gianpaolo] Walk your client through his options. There aren't many.
We just got back from a week in Orlando. Made me long for the halcion days of Com Stad meetings.
So after 9/11, the case was put on the back burner?
More like, pushed off the stove. There was before and there was after, but during? So many tragedies unsolved.
When was the last time you saw Nina?
Five years ago. She came around asking for money, again, to put another hole in her arm. I told her, don't come around here anymore. I had already lost one daughter. I didn't wanna watch the other one just fade away.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be. I ran out of tears for her a long time ago.
[to Drakkos] You're not on moral high ground here; this is quicksand.
Fathers worry. She's been gone over a week. That's a long time.
Beth felt called to go. Her mother said yes. I was Zooming 10 hours a day. I didn't have time to pay attention. Oh God, what have I done?
Apparently I'm better at talking to psychopaths than teenage girls.
Just keep him behind bars. Even if he can walk on water, he can't bend steel.
"Have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?" Book of Galatians.
What, are you Bible-splaining to me now?
You're still angry.
Yeah, I'm angry.
Would it help if you threw a glass at me?
No, Burton, it wouldn't.
I'm sorry. I'm... I'm... I'm... Olivia, I'm trying to make amends.
You're sorry? You're sorry for what? You're sorry for abusing women? For using women? For hiding behind alcohol as an excuse? Look, I just want to make sure that you understand what making amends means. And not just to me, Burton, but to the other women. To acknowledge what you did to them.
That's exactly why I'm here. I hear you. And I'm trying.
Well, good. Good. So let me know when you've done that.
[about Father Regis] He confessed to you. You absolved him. And now... Now they're gonna transfer him to another poor parish where he's gonna rapе again.
Sonny, are you still asking a priest to break his vows?
No. I'm asking you to look into your heart. I'm asking you to look into your soul. We both know how our Church works. At what point do your vows become more important than your fellow human beings? What if he rapes a child? Huh? Or he murders somebody. Are you gonna absolve him then?
[talking to his mother's grave] God leaves no sin unpunished. You and Dad are rotting in hell for eternity. But not me. God absolved me already. If He wanted me punished for raping Audrey and the others, He would have done that already. So I guess... I guess all this is just God's will.
