00:05In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous.
00:11In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are
00:15members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit.
00:19These are their stories.
00:38No! No! I think she hit her head!
00:40Oh no! Let's go!
00:42Wait, I don't think she's breathing, Ned!
00:43Get back in the car!
00:44Come on, let's get out of here.
00:45Let's go!
00:58Help! There's a girl on the ground over here! She needs a doctor! Over here! Help!
01:07He's a waffle guy.
01:08I'm good with coffee, thanks.
01:11Like I said, I looked through hundreds of cases.
01:14I'm sure you did.
01:15And, uh, are there minor mistakes?
01:19Yeah.
01:19Sure.
01:21License plate, numbers transposed, paperwork misfiled, small stuff.
01:25You could find worse in my jacket.
01:27Could we now?
01:28It's not like there was incompetence or corruption.
01:32I'd like to decide for myself, Jake.
01:35May I have a file?
01:45You're wrong about this.
01:47You're wrong about Benson, okay?
01:50And whatever chain of command or BS you're hung up on, let it go.
01:54Wow.
01:57Six months as a detective and he's ready to run the bureau.
02:02Do you remember when you had that problem in high school with that kid and you called me?
02:07You're not doing that.
02:08No.
02:09This is not about how many times you helped me or how tight you were with my dad.
02:13I'm not gonna look the other way when you're doing something wrong.
02:16What am I doing wrong?
02:18You're undermining a good cop.
02:21You're letting your ego make decisions, yeah?
02:24And when you can't get to her, you go after someone in her unit.
02:27Then you set me up to be the fall guy.
02:30That's untrue.
02:30I still don't understand why.
02:33If Captain Benson asked you to do something and you did the opposite, what do you think would happen?
02:40That's not the same thing.
02:41It's exactly the same thing.
02:42I am not being unreasonable.
02:44I'm not even being political.
02:45I'm being a boss.
02:46If she does good, you look good.
02:50Right?
02:50Why not just make her an ally?
02:53I tried.
02:55Benson's only ever allied with herself.
03:01There's a teenage girl in the hospital, head trauma, signs of sexual assault.
03:05Go.
03:09Jake?
03:10You can leave the file.
03:17I found her school ID in her pocket.
03:20Emma Burns, 16, 10's Carlton Prep.
03:22How is she doing?
03:23Stable, but unconscious.
03:25There's a subdural hematoma from getting tossed out of the car.
03:28Bruising and blood in her underwear, plus the tox screen showed the razepam in her system.
03:32Anybody get a good look at the car that dumped her?
03:35Witness said it was an SUV.
03:36We can get you the security footage, but they said it's not helpful.
03:39Sorry.
03:39Okay. Thank you so much.
03:40All right, look.
03:41Raspam is a benzo, so that increases impulsivity and it induces memory loss.
03:46Basically a roofie.
03:47Yes.
03:48Hey, how was your breakfast?
03:51No, like talking to a charming brick wall.
03:53Yeah.
03:54You back with us?
03:55So Cap don't make me a cake, but yeah, I'm back.
03:58That's good to hear.
03:58So, how about the two of you go through the security footage and see if you can see something that
04:04they didn't?
04:09Something's up with this kid.
04:12You think he knows something?
04:13What's that?
04:15Hey.
04:17Hey.
04:18Hey.
04:19Hey, son.
04:19You found me running the first day back?
04:20Seriously?
04:21Hey.
04:26Oh, and it's unlocked.
04:28Thanks, kid.
04:29Hey, that's private property.
04:30You can't take that.
04:31Technically, it's abandoned property, which we can't search.
04:34Please just give it back.
04:35I didn't do anything wrong.
04:36I'm just here visiting someone.
04:37Look at this.
04:38At the hospital.
04:39Cops here.
04:40Nobody better snitch.
04:42You know what the first rule about not snitching is?
04:46Don't text about not snitching.
04:48dazu Gone
04:501
04:58Okay, all right.
05:43Eats and social media helped identify the kids in this video.
05:46All seniors at Carleton Prep.
05:48Oh, I've heard of that. It's a high-end private school.
05:50So these four, Ethan Weiss, Matt Davis, John Gallagher, Casey Stewart,
05:54were all on the group chat.
05:56Possibly the ones that took her to the hospital.
05:58And no luck with Ethan.
05:59I tried. He's not talking.
06:00These private school kids ain't gonna talk to the cops.
06:03Their parents will pay for the best lawyers in the city.
06:05Most of these kids are 17 years old,
06:06so we don't need their parents' consent to talk to them.
06:09Let's grab them on the way to school.
06:12And ever since she cut her hair, she looks like a hippopotamus.
06:14All right.
06:16What the hell, bruh?
06:18Come with me, bruh.
06:19You too.
06:20Let's go.
06:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
06:32Oh!
06:34All sticks and stems. You got beat, kid.
06:38So let's start with an easy one.
06:41Where was the party last night?
06:42Look, I'd love to help you, but I have no idea what you're even saying right now.
06:46Casey, your friend may have been sexually assaulted, and I think that you can help her.
06:51And I think I'd like to speak to my attorney.
06:55Just tell us what happened. We'll forget about the weed.
06:57What weed?
06:59Wise guy, huh?
07:00Wise enough not to talk to cops.
07:03So, John, your friend, Emma, she's in pretty bad shape.
07:09She may have been sexually assaulted, and we're just trying to figure out what happened.
07:13So can you help me help her?
07:17Lawyer.
07:19We know you care about him.
07:21You came to the hospital to check on her.
07:23You tried to help her, right?
07:24You saw that she was in trouble, and you tried to help her?
07:30Listen, I swear.
07:31That's enough.
07:32Ethan, I'm your lawyer.
07:34Don't say another word.
07:37Calm down.
07:38We need to remove it tomorrow.
07:39You need to release these kids immediately.
07:41I'm not going to let these...
07:42Who's not going anywhere?
07:43My son, you're not going to give us anything.
07:46You cannot help them.
07:48I skipped donuts at the courthouse for this?
07:50What a mess.
07:51Well, they all lawyered up and won't talk.
07:52And we can't hold them.
07:54Which means we got no leads.
07:56There's nothing you can do.
07:59And I put all the lawyers in the conference room.
08:01I got an idea.
08:03Just give us a minute.
08:04All right, guys.
08:06Hey.
08:07Hey.
08:07So, I wanted to give you a heads up.
08:09I did some digging, and I found the retired IAB detective
08:12who investigated your dad's shooting.
08:14Oh, yeah?
08:16Okay, the case I'm on is a cluster.
08:19All right, that's fine.
08:20It's best I talk to him anyway.
08:21I owe you.
08:22Yeah, I take Venmo.
08:29Sonny, what's up with all the theatrics?
08:31You know you can't talk to our clients.
08:33Well, you're right.
08:34I'm not going to talk to all of them.
08:36I'm only going to talk to one of them.
08:39What does that mean?
08:40These kids are in deep.
08:41And, uh, I'm going to make an offer to the first one
08:44that comes forward with useful information.
08:47The rest can drown.
08:48Come on, Carisi.
08:49There's a teenage girl in the hospital
08:51because one of your dumbass clients dropped her on her head.
08:54This train is leaving the station.
08:57And I'm only letting one kid ride.
08:59You all have my number.
09:05The other one is real.
09:11There's a trigger.
09:11I really thought one would flip.
09:12Look, it was worth a shot.
09:14We'll figure something else out.
09:19No need.
09:20We got a bite.
09:23I keep seeing her face.
09:25Her lips were blue.
09:27Yeah, we saw the video.
09:28And we also saw that you were drinking.
09:31Just tell them what we talked about.
09:35We went to John's apartment to party after school.
09:38I only had one drink, maybe two.
09:40We had no idea.
09:41He told us it was just him and John.
09:43Mr. and Mrs. Weiss, just...
09:44Please, let Ethan answer.
09:46Go ahead.
09:48At some point, I fell asleep.
09:50And then, all of a sudden, John and Casey were shaking me awake,
09:54saying that Emma might be dead.
09:56You didn't call 911?
09:57I wanted to, but they didn't let me.
09:59Like you said, we had been drinking.
10:01We just didn't want to get in trouble.
10:03So you drove her to the hospital yourselves?
10:06Yeah, but I didn't mean for her to hit her head.
10:08I lost my grip, and she fell.
10:10And then John and Casey were yelling at me.
10:12I didn't know what to do.
10:13I tried to pick her back up, but...
10:14Ethan has given his statement.
10:15Now, let's talk to you.
10:17Full immunity from my client.
10:18If you want full immunity, he's got to give me more than that.
10:20Hey, Ethan.
10:22It doesn't matter if your intentions were good.
10:25Emma almost died.
10:27She may have been raped.
10:29So if you know something, you can help her.
10:32Ethan, you don't have to say anything.
10:33It's okay.
10:33Enough.
10:35Emma started to act weird.
10:38She seemed out of it.
10:40And then I saw her go in the guest bedroom...
10:44with Matt.
10:55All right, according to Ethan, Emma and Matt,
10:57they were flirting the entire night,
10:59and then they snuck off into the guest room together,
11:01and Emma was unsteady on her feet.
11:03Okay, but Ethan didn't intervene?
11:05Well, he didn't think it was a big deal.
11:06He figured they were going off together,
11:08then Emma must have consented.
11:09Excuse me.
11:09She was 16 and full of drugs.
11:11Where'd the lorazepam come from anyway?
11:13Ethan said that there were no drugs at the party.
11:14Was Matt drunk too?
11:16Ethan said that Matt had one drink, possibly two.
11:20So we are sober enough to know better.
11:22We have a suspect and a crime scene.
11:24Go check out the apartment.
11:25That was Matt's lawyer.
11:26He wants to talk.
11:28All right.
11:31My client has come forward of his own volition.
11:33He's willing to cooperate,
11:35but before you take him into custody,
11:37there is something you should see.
11:41What's this?
11:42It's a toxicology report.
11:44Matt woke up the morning after the party
11:46with no memory of the previous night.
11:48I ordered the report.
11:49It shows lorazepam glucoronide in his urine
11:52at a rate of 30 nanograms per milliliter,
11:55which is more than enough
11:56to impair decision-making and memory.
12:00Since benzos only remain in the urine
12:02for one to three days,
12:03it is likely he ingested the drug
12:05at the party in question,
12:06which Matt swears he did not willingly do.
12:12So what are you saying?
12:13Our son was drugged.
12:16I had one drink early in the night,
12:18and I never took any drugs.
12:20Well, who do you think would have drugged you?
12:23He clearly doesn't know anything.
12:25And if any sex occurred,
12:27I suggest you look at my client as a victim,
12:30not the perpetrator.
12:31Okay.
12:32Well, hopefully,
12:33we're gonna get to the bottom of what happened.
12:36I must awake.
12:40No, it's not true.
12:42I know that it's hard to hear,
12:44but your injuries are consistent
12:47with the sexual assault.
12:49Matt cares for me.
12:50He would never rape me.
12:51Okay.
12:52Do you have any memory of the night?
12:54Because one of your friends
12:56said that they saw you and Matt
12:58walking into a bedroom
12:59and you were having trouble walking.
13:02Well, no.
13:03I like Matt,
13:05so if we did anything,
13:06I would have wanted it to happen.
13:07You had lorazepam in your system,
13:10and that's a drug that can cause
13:12memory loss and confusion.
13:15So do you remember taking anything like that?
13:17No.
13:17I don't take any pills.
13:20I don't get wasted.
13:23Because I just...
13:24I don't ever want to feel
13:25like I'm not in control, okay?
13:27Okay.
13:28I believe you.
13:31So how about you tell me
13:33anything that you do remember
13:34leading up to the party?
13:36And nothing is too small.
13:38You know, little things can be important.
13:41We went to John's apartment after school.
13:43So were his parents home?
13:45When his dad died.
13:46Tali was there, though.
13:47And Tali is his mother.
13:49Yeah.
13:49Did she know that you all were drinking?
13:53It's not a big deal.
13:54And she said that it's safer to drink at her place
13:57rather than some, like, back alley.
13:58So she's cool.
14:00Uh-huh.
14:01She doesn't treat us like kids.
14:02Was she drinking with you?
14:05Only a little, but hardly anything.
14:07Right.
14:09Look, Tali's a good person.
14:11She's like one of us.
14:12She's a friend.
14:14And she's the one who told me
14:15that Matt has a crush on me.
14:16Oh.
14:17When did she tell you that?
14:18At the party.
14:19And, um...
14:23She told me to go for it.
14:25And if Matt and I wanted to use the guest bedroom,
14:28that we could.
14:29Emma, I think that you know that it's inappropriate
14:32for an adult to say that.
14:37Okay.
14:39So...
14:39What happened next?
14:44I don't remember anything after that.
14:52NYPD.
14:52We're looking for Talia Federov.
14:54Who are you?
14:55Uh, Detective Griffin.
14:56Sergeant Tutuola.
14:57We need to ask you a few questions.
14:59Take a look around the apartment.
15:00Why would you need to look around my apartment?
15:03We think someone may have been sexually assaulted here
15:05at a party the other night.
15:06Oh, my God.
15:07Who?
15:08In my home here?
15:08We already have a suspect.
15:10We just need to take a look at the crime scene.
15:12We'll be in and out in five minutes.
15:13I would love to help you guys out.
15:15I really would.
15:16But my dad is a retired judge.
15:18Owen Federov.
15:19I'm sure you've heard of him.
15:20And he would absolutely kill me
15:22if I let law enforcement in without a warrant.
15:24So I'm sorry.
15:25Good thing we brought one.
15:26All right, guys.
15:26Come on in.
15:27Spread out.
15:30Um, this is a mistake.
15:31I'm sure of it.
15:32You can't just waltz in here and barge in
15:34and start touching everything.
15:36Griff, find the guest room.
15:38Copy.
15:39The guest room?
15:40There's nothing in the guest room that you need to see.
15:46So this is your daughter's room?
15:48What?
15:50No, I don't have a daughter.
15:51This is my room.
15:54Listen, I just let them have a couple of drinks.
15:57It's not a big deal.
15:59I mean, wouldn't you rather that
16:00than having them drink at some park unsupervised?
16:03I just wanted to create a safe space.
16:22Hey, you got tweezers?
16:23Yeah.
16:28What you got?
16:35Hidden camera.
16:39Detective, do you have kids?
16:43So, I mean, you would understand.
16:44My son was bullied all throughout school.
16:47And so was I.
16:48I tried to step in and create a space
16:50for him and his friends to have some fun.
16:52That's all.
16:53I didn't do anything bad.
16:55I just...
16:56I'm a helicopter mom, I guess.
16:57But I did it for my son.
17:00You know what I never did for my son?
17:02Rufi is friends.
17:05Talia Fedorov, you're under arrest.
17:06Turn around.
17:07What?
17:09I...
17:15Best you have is endangering the welfare of a child
17:18for the alcohol misdemeanor.
17:20Well, don't forget about the lorazepam.
17:22The medicine cabinet wasn't locked.
17:25It's not the first time that kids helped themselves
17:26to a parent's prescriptions.
17:28That doesn't explain the hidden camera.
17:30Yeah, and the only device the camera was connected to
17:32was your cell phone.
17:34That camera was used to check on her aunt,
17:36who had dementia, and who was, uh, staying with them
17:39until she passed away.
17:40Okay, show us the video.
17:42Uh, sorry.
17:42The, uh, camera only streamed the video directly,
17:44so there are no recordings.
17:46Oh, so you were watching teenagers have sex
17:47in your guest bedroom live?
17:48That is an outrageous accusation.
17:51Okay, well, tell us about this unlawful surveillance charge.
17:551995.
17:55You would have been, what, a college freshman?
17:57Is that when you picked up your peeping kink, Talia?
17:59You were charged as a youthful offender,
18:01which is usually sealed,
18:02but thankfully, we got a great ADA.
18:04Taking pics through the dorm window
18:06of football players and cheerleaders.
18:07I was walking down the street.
18:08Street client?
18:09No, their curtains were wide open.
18:10Talia.
18:11This is...
18:12Talia.
18:12A Y-O plea is hard to come by.
18:15Must be nice to have a father who's a judge with juice.
18:18Mm-hmm.
18:18Must be nice.
18:19That must be what privilege buys.
18:20What is that?
18:21Never having to face consequences.
18:32Welcome back, Judge Fedorov.
18:33Oh, thanks, Sam.
18:34I wish it was under better circumstances.
18:36This is calendar number three.
18:38The people in the state of New York versus Talia Fedorov.
18:41Defendants charged with two counts of facilitating a sexual offense with controlled substance,
18:45and two counts of using a child for sexual performance.
18:49Good morning, Your Honor.
18:49So we're lying in for the defendant.
18:51My client enters a plea of not guilty.
18:53As the bail, Your Honor, the defendant is accused of a Class D violent felony.
18:56I read the complaint.
18:58Defendant has no criminal record.
19:00I'm going to release her on her own recognizance, and assign this case to Judge Kevin Ryan.
19:08Next case.
19:18Hey, what was that?
19:20You didn't know.
19:22Talia's father was the chief of criminal court.
19:24Oh.
19:25So I see that membership still has its privileges.
19:32So, what can I do for you gentlemen?
19:34I appreciate the time, Judge.
19:36Um, I just wanted to discuss your relationship with the defendant's father.
19:41Well, it's common knowledge that we were friends.
19:43That was years ago.
19:44I certainly don't see it as a problem.
19:45Well, no, of course not.
19:46But, um, I just think we should really try to, uh, avoid even the appearance of impropriety here.
19:52Oh, so you're suggesting there's something, uh, improper about me trying the case?
19:56Everybody knows he was your mentor, Judge.
19:58Mentor?
19:59Judge Fedorov was close with many judges in this building.
20:02Even so, I think it would be wise for you to recuse yourself.
20:06Denied.
20:07Anything else?
20:09Uh, yeah.
20:09Actually, Your Honor, I was hoping that this meeting would be about Mr. Carisi offering my client a misdemeanor.
20:16A misdemeanor?
20:17Yeah.
20:18One of those kids almost died.
20:19That's never gonna happen.
20:20I appreciate your passion, Mr. Carisi, but if I were you, I'd think on it.
20:25Thank you, Judge.
20:27But no deal.
20:29Well, then, I guess I will see both of you gentlemen in court.
20:34It's totally normal to feel nervous, right?
20:38Mm-hmm.
20:38So, ADA Carisi is gonna prep you in his office.
20:42Okay.
20:42And he's gonna go through every single question with you, right, before you have to testify.
20:48Uh, will you be there, too?
20:49Oh, yes.
20:50Absolutely.
20:50Okay.
20:51Absolutely.
20:53Here.
20:53Why don't you have a seat?
20:55Okay.
20:56Can I, can I make you a cup of tea?
20:58Yeah.
20:59Great.
21:00Right.
21:03So, Emma, is there, um, is there something else bothering you?
21:06Something you want to talk about?
21:10It's fine.
21:10I'll handle it.
21:12Okay.
21:14No.
21:15You mentioned at the hospital that you never wanted to feel out of control.
21:21That, uh, it seems like it's something that is very important to you.
21:28Yeah?
21:29Uh, yeah.
21:30A lot of people that I've talked to, you know, survivors of trauma, experience something
21:35called hypervigilance, and it's when your brain works really, really hard, right?
21:41Scanning for threats to make sure that they're safe and they sort of live in a constant state
21:48of fight or flight.
21:50You ever, you ever feel like that?
21:54Sometimes.
21:55I want you to know that you can talk to me, because I know a little bit about that.
22:06If I, uh, if I tell you something, do you have to tell other people?
22:12Well, sometimes I do, yeah.
22:16If you need me to keep it between us, then, then I will.
22:20I promise I'll keep it between us.
22:23Okay.
22:29When I was younger, like 12, um,
22:36my uncle, he, he would, he would touch me.
22:43And he would have me, uh, touch him.
22:46And I knew, I knew, I knew it was wrong.
22:48But I, I couldn't make him stop.
22:51It was during, like, seventh grade.
22:55But that's it.
22:56That's, that's what happened.
22:57I'm so sorry, Emma.
23:00I'm so sorry that that happened.
23:04Would it be okay for me to ask you a couple of questions about that?
23:08So where is your uncle now?
23:12He died.
23:13Last year.
23:15Okay.
23:15Did you ever tell anyone?
23:18My mom.
23:19The, the summer after it happened.
23:22What'd she do?
23:23I mean, never let me be alone with him again.
23:28But that's it.
23:29Did you call the police or a doctor?
23:31My parents were, uh, having money problems.
23:34And my uncle, he was rich.
23:38He invented this app or something.
23:40And so he paid for everything and paid for school.
23:46But, yeah, that's all, that's it.
23:47That's all they did.
23:48That must have been so hard.
23:52And that's so unfair.
23:56And, Emma, if you'd let me, I'd love to talk to your parents.
24:00No.
24:00Well, even if it's just to get a good therapist who can help you.
24:03I can't handle any of that right now.
24:05Okay?
24:07So just, just don't tell anyone.
24:10I did promise.
24:11And I won't tell anyone.
24:13I will keep it between us.
24:15I promise you that.
24:19Okay.
24:25I can't believe anybody's asking about Jimmy Griffin.
24:28How long has that guy been dead and buried?
24:30Believe me, I know.
24:31There's this unreliable informant talking smack.
24:34And I was told to track it down and put it to bed.
24:37Don't feel I remember much, Gary.
24:39It's all right.
24:40See if anything jogs your memory.
24:46Oh.
24:49You, you're missing stuff.
24:51You sure you got all of this?
24:53What's missing?
24:54Photos, for one.
24:55We certainly had one of the gun.
24:57Okay, I'll dig around.
24:59So, it was an officer-involved shooting.
25:02You caught the IAB investigation.
25:03What happened?
25:05Jimmy and some skull get into a beef in a bar.
25:09Something about the guy who owed Jimmy money.
25:12They take it outside.
25:14Dummy pulls the gun.
25:16Jimmy pulls, puts one in the guy's knee.
25:18Good shoot.
25:20Guy survived.
25:22End of story.
25:22The file says that the skull was Dennis Reeves.
25:25I looked into him.
25:27He died in 2015.
25:27But you remember what he said back then?
25:30What do you think he said?
25:32Not my gun.
25:34Dirty cop planted it.
25:36Made up some garbage about, uh, Jimmy was on his payroll.
25:39Nonsense.
25:40Any witnesses?
25:42This is Jimmy Young's partner.
25:44You probably know her.
25:46She's the new chief of deeds.
25:48Tynan.
25:48Yeah.
25:49I met her a few times.
25:50She's solid.
25:51She stand up?
25:52Yeah.
25:54She said the same thing Jimmy said.
25:56You know, pretty open and shut.
25:58Two cops versus one skull.
26:00You know, not a lot of shoe leather on this, Curry.
26:03No brainer.
26:04I get it.
26:05Reeves said that Jimmy was on his payroll.
26:08Right?
26:08What?
26:09Was he a bookie?
26:12Yeah, um, you know, I, I don't recall.
26:18Anything else I can help you with?
26:20Yeah, last thing.
26:22Case file says that Reeves caught a collar for the illegal gun.
26:26Yeah.
26:27It's up night, right?
26:29Got drunk, pulled a gun on a cop, got shot, and the rest is for a gun charge.
26:36Just a, uh, great New York tale.
26:39Any idea what happened to the gun?
26:41Probably a box in a property warehouse in Queens.
26:45I checked.
26:47It's not there.
26:48What can I tell you, Curry?
26:49Sometimes things just disappear.
26:52Looking a little dry there, Sergeant.
26:55Next one's on me.
26:57Thanks for your time.
27:00I'm telling you, I have nothing but admiration for your work with SVU, Mr. Carissa.
27:05Thank you, Judge.
27:06It, uh, it means a lot to me.
27:07It must take a toll.
27:09You know, a heavy load.
27:11You know what?
27:12How about I tell you all about it, but after this trial.
27:15Because seeing as your daughter's the defendant in this case,
27:18I don't think it's even appropriate for us to be speaking right now.
27:20I thought you might say that.
27:24Good day, Judge.
27:25Do you have children, Mr. Carissa?
27:32Yes, I do.
27:33I'm sure you agree that you'd do anything to protect them.
27:39My suggestion is a lighter load for you makes a lighter load for me.
27:48With respect, Judge, I'm not interested in lighting anyone's load.
27:53I just want to try a fair case.
27:55You know I was on the bench for over 30 years.
27:58That doesn't mean anything to you?
27:59It means you know damn well that your friend, Judge Ryan, should recuse himself.
28:05Have a good day, Judge.
28:14And after the defendant gave you this drink, what happened?
28:16I don't remember.
28:17I blacked out.
28:18And did you submit for a toxicology screen?
28:21Yes.
28:21And it showed I had lorazepam in my system, which I never took.
28:25So the defendant spiked your drink.
28:27Objection.
28:28Assumes facts not in evidence.
28:29Sustained.
28:31Matt, did you see anyone put lorazepam in your drink after the defendant gave it to you?
28:38No.
28:39Nothing further, Your Honor.
28:42Mr. Davis, tell the jury about the deal you made with Mr. Carisi to get you to testify.
28:48Objection.
28:49He knows there's no deal.
28:51Overruled.
28:52Your Honor assumes facts not in evidence.
28:54Sit down, Mr. Carisi.
28:58Well, there is no deal.
29:00Isn't it true that you were investigated for the rape of Emma Burns?
29:05Yeah, I guess, but...
29:06Yeah, but you were never arrested or charged for that sexual assault, correct?
29:12Correct.
29:13Who made the call to not charge you?
29:20I guess Mr. Carisi.
29:25Hey.
29:25We're gonna have to go out there now so we can take a deep breath.
29:29Hey.
29:30I don't know what happened.
29:31She was fine.
29:32Then she had trouble breathing.
29:33Okay.
29:34Hey, Emma.
29:34I'm here.
29:35I'm here.
29:37Hey, can you tell me what happened?
29:40What's going on?
29:42All those people.
29:44Okay, Emma.
29:45I'm gonna be right there with you.
29:47You just...
29:47You just focus on me, okay?
29:49I'm gonna be right there in the gallery.
29:51Deep breath.
29:55Here you go.
29:56Deep breath.
30:01Deep breath.
30:05It's okay.
30:06Honey, it's okay.
30:09Can you adjourn early?
30:10There's no way Ryan's gonna go for that.
30:14I can't put her on the stand like this.
30:16You may not have to.
30:22Based on the evidence and your years of experience, do you believe that the defendant drugged two teenagers, Emma Burns
30:29and Matt Davis, in order to watch them have sex on a hidden camera?
30:32Yes.
30:33I do.
30:34Thank you, Captain.
30:35No further questions, Your Honor.
30:40Captain.
30:42Is it fair to say that the alleged victim in this case was under the influence on the night in
30:49question?
30:49There's nothing alleged about it.
30:51The evidence proves that Emma is a victim.
30:54But she doesn't remember any of it.
30:57So how do we know she's not making it up?
30:59Well, victims of sexual assault often have trouble remembering traumatic events, especially when they're drugged against their will.
31:07Did Emma ever mention any other traumatic events in her life?
31:11We spoke of many things.
31:13Any of those pertinent to this case?
31:17Not that I can speak of.
31:18Captain Benson, has Emma ever claimed to have been sexually assaulted before?
31:24Objection, Your Honor.
31:26Overruled.
31:27Captain.
31:31My duty is to protect the victim, Your Honor.
31:36You are under oath, Captain, and you will answer the question.
31:40I'm sorry, but I can't.
31:45I can't.
31:45Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna send you on a short break.
31:47We, uh, have some boring legal matters to address.
31:52Grab a coffee, stretch your legs, and we'll call you back in shortly.
32:09Your Honor, the rape shield law specifically limits the defense's ability to introduce the past sexual behavior.
32:16This isn't about past sexual behavior.
32:18This is to establish if the girl has lied in the past about sexual assault and goes directly to her
32:23credibility.
32:24I agree.
32:25Captain Benson will answer the question.
32:28I can't do that, Your Honor.
32:30I'm sorry.
32:33Are you refusing to comply with the court order?
32:36Legally, she cannot answer that question.
32:39Sit down, Mr. Carisi.
32:42Captain.
32:43I don't want to refuse.
32:45I'm simply obeying the rape shield law, which was passed to protect victims.
32:50If you refuse my order, I will hold you in contempt of court.
32:54Your Honor, Captain Benson is following the law.
32:57You can't do this.
32:58You don't tell me what I can do in my own courtroom, Mr. Carisi.
33:06It's your last chance, Captain.
33:10My duty is to protect the victim.
33:13I can't and won't answer the question.
33:17Put her inside.
33:42Hi.
33:43Listen, I'll defend you right not to answer that question in court.
33:46but what the hell is going on?
33:47I'm sorry, Carisi, I can't, I can't say.
33:50No, it's okay.
33:52You don't have to go to jail for this.
33:54Don't worry about that, Emma.
33:56I will not be manipulated by that lawyer.
34:01I'm not going to either.
34:10Captain Benson knows what Uncle Ian did to me.
34:16I can't keep it a secret anymore.
34:20And neither can you.
34:22You have to tell everyone.
34:25I'm not afraid anymore.
34:28Okay.
34:30Okay.
34:31How did that lawyer know about this?
34:34Because I told Talia.
34:39She acted sympathetic and kind.
34:43And now she's going to use it against me.
34:47And I'm really sorry, Mom,
34:49because I thought that I could trust her.
34:55You have nothing to be sorry for.
35:04I am sorry.
35:07Oh, I am so, so sorry.
35:18I am so, so sorry.
35:21No charges were ever filed.
35:23No.
35:24She never even reported it.
35:27That's not uncommon in these types of circumstances.
35:31So we just have to take her word for it.
35:33She told her mother.
35:35She also told your client.
35:37Is it fair to say that charges were never filed against the uncle because her mother didn't believe that she'd
35:42been sexually assaulted?
35:43Objection, Your Honor.
35:45Overruled.
35:46Answer, Captain.
35:47No.
35:48That's not fair to say.
35:50Emma is not a liar.
35:52And her mother couldn't protect her because people with money and people with influence held all the power.
36:01But that's what this trial is for, to even the odds, and to give power back to the people who
36:11deserve it the most.
36:15Emma, do you drink alcohol often?
36:17Maybe a drink or two if I'm at a party.
36:19Very normal for a teen.
36:21I can't say that I didn't steal a beer out of the fridge in the garage every once in a
36:24while when I was a kid.
36:26Careful, Mr. Carice.
36:27Sorry, Your Honor, we weren't all law-abiding teenagers.
36:30Emma, was it strange for an adult to be giving you alcohol?
36:36At first, yes.
36:38But we knew that Talia's father was a judge, so we felt safe.
36:42And did you and Talia become close?
36:44We did.
36:45She said that she understood me and that I could tell her anything.
36:50What'd you talk about?
36:51We talked about the boys that I liked and school stuff.
37:01And I, um, told Talia that my uncle molested me.
37:10And is this the secret that Captain Benson was willing to go to jail to keep?
37:15Yes.
37:18And why did you want to keep it secret?
37:24I was ashamed.
37:27I was afraid that it was going to make me and my family look bad.
37:31And I told Talia because I, I trusted her or I thought that I could.
37:39But she used my, my secret, my abuse to make me look like a liar, to try and break me.
37:47Objection.
37:48Sustained.
37:49The jury will disregard.
37:52Emma, why do you say that?
37:55Talia knew I wanted to hide it.
37:59I think she hoped that it would make me fall apart.
38:06But it didn't, Talia.
38:10I'm stronger than you think.
38:12Objection.
38:13Objection.
38:13Sustained.
38:15Jury will disregard.
38:25Hey, just heard the good news.
38:27Congrats on the verdict, man.
38:28I would have paid money to see Judge Fedorov's face.
38:31Chief.
38:34Captain Benson, you've done excellent work throughout your years with SVU.
38:40In your tenure as captain, you've led this team through difficult cases with a steady hand.
38:46It has been an honor to work with you.
38:50I am here to inform you that you are suspended, effective immediately.
38:55Chief, come on.
38:55Stand down, detective.
38:56Are you kidding me right now?
38:57So what did you find, Chief?
38:59Did I not file a report on time?
39:02This has nothing to do with files, Captain.
39:05You were found in contempt and taken into custody.
39:09The department cannot tolerate that under any circumstances.
39:13Please turn over your service weapon and badge.
39:22Wow.
39:24Wow.
39:25Chief, come on.
39:31Chief, come on.
39:31Go home, Captain.
39:46Liv, we'll appeal it first thing.
39:47Not to time.
39:48Let her be.
39:53Ugh!è–‡!
40:05Feuer! Ah!
40:09Oh,
40:10Yeah! I'm
40:19so glad.
40:19charge you to get to. I'm so glad.
40:19Right? The reason that's
40:22Let's go.
40:49Let's go.
41:20Let's go.
41:49Let's go.
