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

His name's Rick Karsch.
She's Anne Whitman.

That's her on the couch.
Anne?
Hi, I'm Lieutenant Benson.
Mr. Karsch, I'm Sergeant Tutuola, SVU.
- Did you catch the guy?
- We're working on it.
- What's the damage?
- He blacked out.
So I'm guessing we're looking at a concussion.
He hit me with a g*n, for Chrissake.
Why don't you just start from the beginning?
Pizza guy rang the bell and whacked me.
Next thing I know, the cops are here,
and this guy's bandaging my head.
What pizza place?
We didn't order a damn pizza.
W-why won't they let me see Annie?
He said if I scream, he'd k*ll me.
So, Anne, I know that this is difficult,
but... I'm going to ask you to describe him.
Anything that you remember could be a very big help.
He made me tie Rick's hands with those plastic things.

a cup of coffee, smoke a joint?
- I do my job.
- Yeah?
'Cause a stranger walked through your doors right there,
b*at up one of your tenants, r*ped another one.
So I wouldn't count on keeping this job for too long.
Joey's out with the flu. I had to pee.
Okay. Do you have any Chad and Staceys

- _
The police clearly violated
my client's fourth amendment rights
by searching the GPS records on his cell phone
without a valid warrant.
The police obtained the records
unwittingly, Your Honor.
So my client should suffer?
The phone company was in error, not the police.
I'm only asking that the court find a small exception
to a very recent change in the law.
In Carpenter v. U.S., the Court held...
I've read the opinion, counselor.
It's a new world, Mr. Stone.
People carry their cell phones with them everywhere they go.
Nobody has an expectation that Big Brother
is constantly tracking their movements.
- I'm not asking you to disregard...
- You're asking me
to inv*de every citizen's right to privacy.
The People only ask that Your Honor consider
the doctrine of inevitable discovery.
The police would have inevitably asked a court
for a warrant, and they would have certainly received one.
And that would render the ruling
in Carpenter meaningless.
I'm not a big enough deal to tangle with
the Supreme Court, Mr. Stone.
The defendant's motion is sustained.
The GPS records are inadmissible.
As the only evidence against my client
is uncorroborated accomplice testimony,
I ask that the case against my client be dismissed.
Is that the case, Mr. Stone?
Given time, Your Honor...

Should've known better.
Any of us would've done what you did, man.
- Finn, it's not the same.
- Carisi, you're a cop.
Not a lawyer, despite the law degree.
So, guys, we need something, anything, to corroborate
what Chris and Riley told us about Tony.
We know that Tony called John by his real name.
So we think he knew John somehow.
Well, Tony didn't pick him out of the phone book.
Look, for these incel guys,
there's only two types of women.
Ones you screw and ones that screw you.
They just didn't wake up one morning
and decide women were the enemy.
These seeds were planted a long time ago.
His mother.
Can you name one that doesn't play hardball with your head?
Excuse me?
I'm not talking about you guys.
I'm talking about these incel freaks.
Nobody knows Tony better than his mother.
Okay, let's give it a sh*t.

John Quinn?
Sounds like every townie bartender who ever
poured me a Harvey Wallbanger back in Ithaca.
Well, our John Quinn is probably a little younger.
Closer to your son's age.
Someone your son might know.
Sorry, I'm not one of those mothers...
What do they call them? Who hovers?
Helicopter.
Tony's got his life. I've got mine.
Although, the one he chose...
[CHUCKLES]
Poetry. This is the real world.
Put on your big boy pants. Get a job.
He didn't get it from me or his father, that's for sure.
Where is his father?
The bum took off right after Tony blew out the candles
at his fifth birthday.
Haven't seen him since.
- Has Tony?
- You'd have to ask him.
And good luck getting an answer.
He doesn't talk much.
Gave it up somewhere around puberty.
Do you recognize the name Carol Solomon?
When Tone did open his yap, she's all he'd talk about.
Carol this, Carol that.
All senior year.
So they dated.
He took her to prom.
I have a picture somewhere.
Looks like every other high school boy on prom.
- Yeah, except that he's missing one thing: a date.
Look, Carol swears that she went to the prom
with someone else.
Okay, she snubbed him,
and he's been fantasizing about her for ten years.
Fantasy isn't corroboration.
But it's motive.
Sorry.
Three lonely, sick guys cook up this elaborate plan.
Two of them execute it perfectly, but Tony,
probably the smartest of the three, screwed up?
That's what criminals do.
Or maybe he didn't.
The others att*ck strangers who wronged their buddy,
but Tony r*ped the woman who hurt him in high school.
So in the heat of the moment,
he wanted Carol to know that it was him.
Some lawyers might consider this harassment.
In case your client is interested,
Riley Porter took a deal for ten years.
Chris Carnasis took .
No comment.
Defense exhibit A. The perfect client.
Okay, so this has been fun.
But unless you have corroboration,
then you're wasting our time.
I'd like Tony to meet someone.
