Law & Order: Special Victims Unit · Season 1
All I know is that when I was there, it was totally consensual.
The video shows Noel stayed a few minutes after you left.
I'm sure that whatever he did, she wanted him to do.
Okay, so, how can you be sure? What did she say, exactly, when Noel walked in?
Her exact words?
Yes.
I don't know. Her head was in my lap.
Hey, counselor, you got a second?
Not really. I've got 15 minutes before I have to face a firing squad.
Monsignor Mulregan's visit was not a social call. He has made some very serious allegations.
Yeah. Against Father Eugene.
No. Against Tucker.
Allegations against Tucker? What did the monsignor say, exactly?
He said that he and Father Eugene went to Tucker a year ago. That they had information that Vice was running some of their students. Father Eugene even violated the seal of the confessional to provide evidence.
He claims that?
They also named Russo and Jefferson. And Tucker buried it.
And he's telling you this now? This is about protecting Father Eugene. I was there, at that church, when Tucker confronted him. I thought he was gonna rip his head off.
I don't know. I don't know. I mean, maybe... maybe... maybe that's what he wanted you to think.
No, Ed is not capable of that.
Since when? I thought SVU hated this guy. He's gone after each and every one of you.
That's his job. He has to be relentless. You're wrong about him. Trust me.
Wait... are you involved with him?
Don't ask me that.
When were you gonna tell me? I am informing you that a captain at IAB may be involved in a sex trafficking ring, and you don't mention that the two of you are sleeping together?
You're wrong about him. Bring him in here, ask him yourself.
You and I are done talking.
Is everything all right?
Oh, I'm fine.
Lieutenant, what's going on?
You'd know better than me.
Did something happen?
You're telling me that you didn't know?
Know what?
That I'm out. Effective immediately. Uh, Carisi, Rollins, as of now, Sergeant Dodds is acting commander of SVU, so... congratulations. [pause] That's it. You're dismissed.
You can't imagine... [choking up] You can't imagine how many times I have knelt, and prayed to be relieved of this weakness!
Yes, I can, and I'm sure you prayed more when the Monsignor used that weakness to blackmail you.
I knew what they were doing to those girls. I should have protected them, and now it's too late.
No it's not. You're standing right here in front of Him.
Am I? I can't see... I'm so blind to Him. I've been blind to Him since before you were even born.
Well, He's here now, Father, and He sees you. So you look up, and you tell Him how truly sorry you are. You ask for His forgiveness, and He will look into your heart, and He will forgive you.
[The detectives pore over 20 years' worth of evidence of the Monsignor's sex trafficking ring]
Why keep all this?
Because they're Catholics. They don't get rid of anything, they just bury it.
This is Mr. Zimmerman. He represents one of our visitors.
Two of them, actually. Greg Searle is one of mine. And if you think he's your rape suspect, you're wrong. It's not his profile. He's an ephebophile. Means he goes for younger girls.
[rolls her eyes] That's a wonderful argument.
Richie Caskey. One of our success stories. Cover boy for parolee magazine. [Sonny and Rollins look at her skeptically] Or maybe not. What did he do?
You don't seem surprised that he might have done something.
20 years, 4000 cons... if one of them turned into a mermaid, I might be surprised.
[about Alvin's work] Is this art or porn?
Depends on how much you pay for it.
He was shot once in the chest, once in the groin?
Well, the M.E. thought that the shot in the groin was first.
Of course it was. Somebody wanted Alvin to have a couple seconds to think about who shot him and what his life would be like without his pecker. [Benson looks confused] Vonnegut? [Benson shrugs] Slaughterhouse-Five.
This girl didn't realize she was raped until she saw it on live TV?
I know, I know.
I get the "she said". What's the "he said"?
I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get home. I feel lost.
That's normal. It takes time, Melanie. But you will get through this, I promise.
Until today, Gary just... would make me go down on him, but I said I didn't want to do that anymore; I was back with my boyfriend. He got mad. He hit me. And then he raped me.
How many times did this happen?
I don't keep count. At least once a week since I got out. I'm on his route. I thought it was bad enough when I was inside.
Did he assault you in Rikers?
He never hurt me, but when he'd take me back from a visit, he'd make a stop in the chapel.
There are no cameras there.
He knows what he's doing. He'd say "You do me a favor, I do you one."
Meaning?
Meaning I get to see my kids. Don't get stripped searched, thrown into solitary. Don't get my teeth knocked in.
Did you report this?
In Rikers? The COs and the gangs run that place. Every female inmate there knows that. Every time he'd do me, he'd say "Cry all you want, but you're just a broke, black crack whore. Who's gonna believe you?".
I do, Charisse.
I'm not testifying against Munson.
You just told me he raped you.
Cost of doing business in Rikers.
It doesn't have to include rape.
Really, Elsa? When's the last time your white ass got locked up?
Barba, you don't know me or who I am, but we know a lot about you. Things people would want to know.
Is that a threat?
A threat? No. A threat would be, right here, right how, I push you down these steps, get your skull cracked open, bleeding to death.
Really? In front of all these people? Maybe they wouldn't be able to save me, but they'd sure as hell catch you. Alright, amigito, tell you what - you wanna murder a DA right here, surrounded by all these cops and cameras? Spend the rest of your life in prison? Here. Here's my home address. You come by anytime you want.
[the man leaves]
Hey. Everything all right?
Not really. Someone just threatened to kill me.
What?
Who was it?
Just a face in the crowd. Tell the squad to watch their backs. This is just the beginning.
