(male announcer)
In the criminal justice system,

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

known as
the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

Sonya Purcell, 33.

Drunk driver T-boned
the family car.

(Doctor)
She driving?

Front passenger.
Full intrusion.

Any other passengers?

Husband and
nine year-old daughter, Holly.

On the two buses
right behind us.

Decompressed her three times.

She's tachy to 110.

BP's 90-palp.

Pupils reactive.
Responds to painful stimuli.

Larry Purcell, 35,
driving the car.

Got himself a compound
tib-fib fracture

when the transmission
came through the floor.

Larry, can you hear me?

My wife--
my daughter--

We're taking good care of 'em.

We're gonna take you up
to surgery now.

Fix that broken leg.

Okay, here we go.

Let's go, let's go!

Holly...
Holly, I'm Dr. Turk.

You got a nasty bump on your
head. Anything else hurt?

My stomach.
Were you wearing
your seatbelt?

Yes.
Okay, let's get you inside,
take a look.

Here we go.

C-spine's clear.

Where's my mom and dad?

The doctors
are helping them.

Show me
where your tummy hurts.

On my bellybutton.

Sometimes when you're
in a car accident,

and you wear your seatbelt
like you're supposed to,

the belt can hurt
your tummy.

Please take off her pants
and underwear.

Stop it!
Don't touch me!

No, no, we're just gonna make
sure you're okay.

No! No!
Please don't do it!

All right, Holly.
Holly.

Shh-shh-shh-shh.

I want you--
Holly, Holly.

I want you to close your eyes.

Try to rest.

I'm gonna go check in
on your mom and dad, okay?

Page the shrink on call.

I'm Dr. Hendrix.

You must be Holly.

Hi.

I just saw your dad.

The doctors
are fixing his leg now.

When can I see them?

As soon as they get
out of surgery.

Dr. Turk told me
you got pretty upset

when he tried
to take your pants off.

I didn't want him to.

He needs to examine you.

I don't like him.

I'll get you
a really nice doctor.

A girl, like us.

And I'll stay here with you.
How's that?

I guess so.

See?
I told ya.

That didn't hurt,
did it?

No.

Am I okay?

Your tummy is fine, Holly.

You were right.

She's been abused.

I'll call Special Victims.

What made you suspect abuse?

She kicked the attending

when the nurse tried
to take her pants off.

She looks pretty calm now.

It was a male attending.

Dr. Sanada's a pediatric

sex-abuse specialist.

She found scarring
and thinning

of Holly's
posterior forchette.

You do a rape kit?
Only swabs and
a visual inspection.

Holly was too upset

to do an internal.

Dr. Sanada would like
to examine her with a colposcope

to see if there's any tearing
of the hymen.

What's she waiting for?
Parental consent.

Her mom and dad were pretty
banged up in the accident.

They're both in surgery.

Well, it shouldn't
be a problem.

Parent would wanna know if their
kid was being abused.

You'd want a doctor to do
a gynecological exam

on your nine year-old
without asking you?
Look...

the longer we wait,
the more evidence is lost.

You're right,
but if Holly's

scared by swabs, a speculum's
gonna really freak her out.

Well, we can

sedate her first
to minimize the trauma.

Let's do it.

This isn't
life or death.

And anesthesia

comes with some risk.

And the hospital
will have my ass

if we're not covered legally.

I'm gonna make
a phone call.

I got it.

Court order giving
the hospital authority

to do the colposcopy on Holly,
including sedation.

Her parents are in surgery.

Are you gonna stay and explain
this when they're out?

I can't. I've got
an arraignment in an hour.

You wanted this, you're gonna
have to take the heat.

I'll--I'll tell her parents
why we couldn't wait.

Let me know
if you find anything.

How soon can the doctor
do the procedure?

Right away. One of you
should come in with me.

If Holly discloses
as she's going under,

I'll need you
to memorialize it.

I'll go.

Exam 2.
Ten minutes.

(Hendrix)
Holly, this is
Detective Stabler.

Hi, can I come in?

He's a policeman.

He has something
to tell you.

We caught the guy
who hit your car.

Good.

(Sanada)
Holly, the nurse
is going to put

the IV in your arm now.

It'll only sting
for a second.

You ready?
No.

I wish my dad was here.

You'll see him
in a while.

What's your most favorite thing
you like to do with your dad?

I got twins your age,
and we like

to go to the beach
together.

My dad takes me

to the beach, too.

We build sand castles.

I don't like needles.

Okay, hold onto my hand.

Now, close your eyes and pretend
that you're at the beach

building sand castles
with your dad.

And if it hurts,

you squeeze my hand
really hard, okay?

What do you do
when something hurts?

I think of my kids.

Is that it?
That's it.

You did great.

(Sanada)
We're ready.

Holly, you're going
to sleep now.

When you wake up,
it'll all be over, okay?

Okay.

Will you be here?

I have to go
back to work.

But if you need me,
you tell Dr. Hendrix,

and I'll come
running back, okay?

Thanks.

(Stabler)
How'd everything go?

Holly came through it great,

and we discharged her
to her grandparents.

The results
are another story.

Small, unhealed tear
and scarring on the hymen.

Holly was abused.

We gotta talk to her.

Talk to her father first.
He's out of recovery.

(Larry)
Drunken bastard

ran a red light.

I never saw him coming.

(Benson)
We're not here about

the car accident,
Mr. Purcell.

It's about Holly.

The doctors swore
she's okay.

She is, but when
the doctors examined her,

they found other injuries.

What injuries?

She may have been
sexually abused.

Did she tell you that?

No.

But the doctors did
a gynecological exam.

Without asking

me or her mother?

(Stabler)
You were both in surgery.

We asked the court
for permission.

This is a big mistake.

My daughter was not
sexually abused.

Mr. Purcell, the evidence--
Because she fell
off her bike

and hurt herself
between her legs.

You want proof,
ask the doctor.

Happened two weeks ago.

Holly fell on
the right bike pedal,

spikes caused an injury
to her posterior forchette.

So we just had her poked and
prodded for nothing.

Maybe not.

The report doesn't mention
the tear to the hymen.

And the tear hasn't healed.

It probably happened
within the last week.

Can you say that
for sure?

No.
Well, you better be sure

before we put this little girl
through any more hell.

You saw the same fear
in her eyes I did.

Olivia, you should
do the interview.

No, I thought I had
a rapport going with her.

You know, I interview
little girls every day.

Still, she'll feel more

comfortable talking to
a woman about her own body.

We still need to get
the father to agree.

What if he's the one
abusing Holly?

He wasn't lying
about the bike injury.

He let the doctor examine her.

I don't think he's our guy.

Good,
'cause we'll need his help.

For what?

The interview.

He can give us information,

tell us if Holly's
being truthful.

You'll wear an earpiece
so I'll be able

to talk to you.

Okay.

(Benson)
So Holly,
what you like to play?

Video games, but only
when I can't go outside.

What do you do outside?

(Holly)
Go to the park.

Dad and I
ride our bikes together.

Last time we did
is when she fell.

Ask about their last ride.

So do you and your dad
go riding every weekend?

Used to.

But I stopped.
How come?

'Cause my mom and dad say
it's getting too cold outside.

We didn't say that.

Doctor wanted
to give her time to heal.

Don't let that go.
Confront her about the accident.

Now, your dad said that you

fell off your bike.
Yeah.

Hit a wet spot
and skidded out.

Did you hurt yourself?

Just a little.

I skinned my knee.
It was bleeding.

It was barely a scratch.

(Stabler)
Let's push Holly

just a little harder.

Talk about
the other injury.

Your dad told me that you hurt
yourself someplace else, too.

Yeah.

Where?

Between my legs.

That must've hurt a lot.

I don't remember.

Why won't she talk about it?

She did when it happened.

Go for it.

You know, Holly,

the other night I was at the
hospital with Detective Stabler

after your car accident.

And I talked
to the doctor.

When she looked between
your legs, she said

that you were hurt.

But it wasn't from falling off
your bike.

Yes, it was.

No, Holly.

That would've been impossible.

Sweetheart,
why are you crying?

I'm afraid.

What are you afraid of?

(Holly)
I can't tell you.

(Benson)
Why not?

Because he'll hurt me.

Who'll hurt you, Holly?

Honey, who will hurt you?

Holly, has this person
hurt you before?

Yes.

How?

He--

He touched me--

between my legs.

Made me touch him.

(Benson)
Can you tell me his name?

(Holly)
Please don't make me tell.

Holly, listen to me.

If I know who he is,

I promise you he will never hurt
you again, okay?

He will!

He has a gun.
He showed it to me.

He said if I ever told anyone
what he did,

he'd shoot me.

Just like he shot
that girl in the park.

(Cragen)
Laura Swift, eight years old.

Student at St. Mary's
in Queens.

Disappeared last May
from a school picnic

at Flushing Meadow Park.

I remember her body
was never found.

Talked to Queens homicide.

Only evidence was some blood
spatter and a shell casing

found in the boathouse
at Meadow Lake.

Well, it fits.

Holly and Laura, the same age,
so he's got a type.

Then he told Holly
he already shot a kid.

Bragging about his body count
to a nine year-old.

Scared her so bad, she's afraid
to tell us who he is.

He knows he can control his
victims by threatening them.

(Cragen)
Garden variety pedophile
would never kill

a victim.

This guy is
a violent child molester.

(Stabler)
He's not afraid
to use that gun.

Long as he's out there,

Holly's life is at risk
and she knows it.

Which is why I'm not sure
we're gonna get anything more

than this partial disclosure.

(Benson)
Well, Holly copped
to the abuse

when we told her that we knew
what the doctor found.

Every time we've confronted her
with the facts, she's opened up.

The problem is
we're all out of facts,

and the Laura Swift case
is cold.

Any ideas?

(Hendrix)
Waiting

may be the only way.

We push her too hard,

she could have
a psychotic break.

Holly's gotta talk.

You're the shrink.

You got anything?

Well, there is something
I haven't tried yet.

(Hendrix)
I'd like to do
a deeper psychodynamic

interview with Holly using
projective techniques.

Like drawing.

(Larry)
Holly can barely eat or sleep.

I don't want
to make it worse.

(Benson)
The pressure on her isn't
coming from us, Mr. Purcell.

It's coming from the man
who molested her.

Holly's never gonna feel safe
until we arrest him.

I just don't think she can take
another interview.

I won't ask her any direct
questions about the abuse.

This will be more like
psychotherapy.

It'll give Holly a safe way

to open up.

[sighs]

I don't know.

Mrs. Purcell,

this man has threatened
to kill your daughter.

He claimed to have murdered
Laura Swift last year.

If we let you do this,

can you promise us
it won't hurt Holly?
No.

But I will talk to her alone,
without the police,

and I'll let her set the pace.

And if she doesn't
want to talk?

I'll stop.

I saw your mom today.

She looks great.

She told me
she's coming home soon.

Finished.

May I see?

Sure.

Wow.

What should I draw next?

How about a picture
of yourself

doing something?

So this is your dad
and your mom and you.

Who's this?

My grandma and grandpa.

I'm staying with them
until my parents come home.

You like it there?

Sort of.
It smells like cats.

Do you like cats?

I'm more of a dog person.

Me too.

Is that your house?

Nope.

It's Lily and Anna's.

Who are they?

My cousins.

What's their last name?

Dobbins.

I go over there
to play with them.

They live across
the street from me.

(Julie)
Well, they're not
really cousins.

Sonya and I
went to college together,

and our girls
have known each other

all their lives.

We've been Holly's

Aunt Julie and Uncle Mark
since she could talk.

Does Holly spend
a lot of time

with your daughters?

She's here more
than she's home.

Sometimes I kid her folks
that I'm gonna have

to put another bed
in our girls' bedroom.

(Stabler)
She ever confide in you?

Maybe tell you things

she wouldn't tell her parents?

No, Holly--

she's not secretive,
you know?

Mark, she did come
to me recently.

About what?

She was having trouble
at school,

someone was teasing her
in class.

(Hendrix)
You're a hard worker.

You must do really well
in school.

I like my classes a lot.
Yeah?

What's your favorite?

Art.
I can tell.

Put a lot of details
into your own house.

Windows, pretty curtains.

But why are the shades down
in this room?

Because the person inside
wants to sleep.

Do you have a favorite teacher
at school?

Mrs. Wheeler.

Guess what she teaches.

Uh...

Art?

[laughs]

I wish I could show you.

I painted a really--

(Mrs. Wheeler)
Great tiger.

So much detail,
expressive use of color.

Holly's very talented.

(Munch)
I can see that.

I'll bet not many other
nine year-olds

reference Picasso
in their works.

Well, that was her assignment.

But I'm sure
you didn't come here

just to look
at Holly's pictures.

She ever come to you
with any problems?

Never.

But I'd hope she would if
something were bothering her.

Notice any change
in her behavior--

Moody, depressed,
or withdrawn?

[laughs]
No.

Those are my high school
students.

Holly has been
at the school nurse

a few times
this month, though.

(Fin)
You know why?

A stomach ache
a few weeks ago,

and then last week
she was holding

a pair of scissors
the wrong way.

I reminded her to cut away
from the body,

but a moment later,
her hand was all bloody.

(Benson)
Do you think
it was an accident?

No.

How do you know?

'Cause Holly's got a pattern.

Tuesdays and Thursdays,
she has Art, then Gym.

The last three weeks,
right after Art

she's come here
with some injury or ailment

so she can get out of P.E.

What do you do
in gym class?

We play soccer.

Who's that girl
over there by herself?

I don't know.

I hate gym.

How come?

I don't like changing in front
of the other girls.

They tease me.

I hate soccer.

(Benson)
Excuse me.

Yeah, can I help you?

Is that
the girls' gym class?

Yeah.

Yeah, what's
the teacher's name?

Uh, I don't know.

You new here?

No, they have a substitute.

Coach D. went home early.
He's got a big game tonight.

What's the "D" stand for?
Dobbins.

Mark Dobbins is
the gym teacher?

And our best coach.

I mean, the football team's
been city champs

eight years running.
[whistle blows]

I gotta go.

(Stabler)
Thanks.

Uncle Mark didn't tell us
he was Holly's gym teacher.

He teaches gym.

And you don't like gym.

No.

Why not?

My tummy hurts.

Holly.

I don't want
to talk anymore.

Just a little longer.

[crying]
No!

Holly, please, tell me
what's wrong?

Don't make me say!

I'm scared.

I know.

I know,
but you've gotta trust me.

No! Please!

Tell me your secret, Holly.

Tell me.

Is this the person
who hurt you?

Yes!

Who is it, Holly?

What's his name?

[crying]

Who is it, Holly?
What's his name?

Uncle Mark.

I didn't want him to!

I told him to stop,
but he wouldn't!

[crying]

(Dobbins)
Run it! Come on, now!

Von B!
Hit Von B, he's open!

Come on, hit him!

Yes!
Nice catch! Not now!

Dobbins!
Game's over.

What--What are you
talking about?

We're talking about a little
girl who trusted you,

and you molested her.

Mark Dobbins, you're under
arrest for sexual abuse.

You're kidding me.

You're wrong.

You're making a mistake!

You don't un--

(Stabler)
You're a busy guy, Mark.

Teaching gym.

Coaching girls' soccer,
gymnastics, and...

still find time to give
private lessons, huh?

Those lessons help
pay my mortgage.

So seeing the little girls
in leotards

is just a bonus?

I also coach football.

And you run a sleep-away camp in
the Poconos during the summer.

You spend an awful lot of time
alone with kids, Mark.

And that makes me
a child molester?

You ever been
to Flushing Meadow Park?

Sure. My girls love the zoo and
the--and the science museum.

What does that got to do
with anything?

Laura Swift

disappeared from Flushing Meadow
last year.

You were in
the park that day.

Queens Homicide
interviewed you.

Along with 1,000 other people.

I don't even know this girl.

Why would I kill her?

Did you say
she was dead?

Not me.

Maybe Mark here knows something
that we don't know.

It was all over the news.
Everybody thinks she's dead.

Well, I'll tell you
what I think.

You snatched Laura Swift,
you raped her,

and then when she threatened
to tell,

you murdered her,
and you hid her body.

You laid low
for a while, but...

you wanted another girl.

Holly Purcell was perfect.

I never touched Holly Purcell!

She's at your house
all the time.

She's in your class
at school.

You couldn't stop
thinking about her.

Holly's like one
of my own daughters.

You give "private lessons"
to your daughters too?

You're disgusting!
How dare you!

I'm disgusting?

Holly told us
what you did to her.
Then she's lying!

You tore her up

and she's got
the scars to prove it.

I don't know what in hell
is going on around here!

But I'm not saying another word!
I want a lawyer!

[metal slams]
Elliot.

Take it easy.
I pushed him too hard.

He would've lawyered up
no matter what.

What happens to Holly when
that dirtbag makes bail?

He's not going to.

Two other girls
at Chestnut Academy

just outcried to their parents
that Dobbins molested them.

When are you gonna put
that bastard in jail?

(Cragen)
We already have.

My Nicole is scared to death.

You can't let him out!
(Benson)
Dobbins can't

hurt her anymore, but we need
you both to calm down.

(Terry)
How can we be calm

after what that man
did to our girls?

God knows how many others
he's abused!

Ladies. Ladies!

You could help us,
but please...

Please.

Did Danielle and Nicole talk
to each other about this?

No. Nicole told me,
then I called Donna.

She said her daughter
told her the same thing.

We heard he molested Holly,
so I called her mother,

and she said
to see you.

Will the girls
have to testify?

(Cragen)
We're a long ways

from there.

First they have
to tell us what happened.

Please don't do that.

Let us tell you
what they said.

We can't charge

Dobbins with abusing them

unless they describe
what he did.

Can we come in with them?
They're just little girls!

I'm sorry, but the only way
their accusations

will stand up in court is
if we talk to them alone.

(Nicole)
I was afraid to tell.

But then Holly did.

Nicole, how do you
know Holly?

We're best friends.

And so's Danielle.

We're all
in the same class.

And do you guys, um...

do stuff together
after school?

Well, we play soccer.

(Benson)
So what happened
at soccer?

Mr. Dobbins said
to come with him to his car.

He told my parents
he'd take me home.

Then he drove me
to his house.

And what happened
at his house?

He took me
to the basement

because that's where
all the toys are.

(Stabler)
What happened
in the basement?

He made me take
my pants off.

And then he touched me
between my legs.

Then he pulled his pants down.

He made me touch him.

He said he would shoot me--

--if I ever told anybody.

We don't need a psychic.

If you're that good,
who's gonna win the Super Bowl?

I'm not evading your question.
What is your question?

Hold on.
Special Victims Unit...

(Cragen)
How many?

Three walk-ins,
five more calls.

All parents
from Chestnut Academy saying

that Dobbins may have abused
their kids.

Word travels fast.

Well, you know,
a couple hundred people

at that football game
saw us collar Dobbins.

He's locked up,
the kids feel safer,

they go home
and tell their parents.

Get the callers in here.
Novak's gonna want statements.

(Fin)
Captain, we got the Ledger
and Channel 3 both on hold

wanting to know
what's up with Chestnut.

Tell 'em no comment.

Refer all press calls
to DCPI.

(Stabler)
Hey.

Hey, how's Holly?

She's a mess. Not eating or
sleeping, wetting her bed.

She didn't tell me anything.

Even though she knows

Dobbins is in jail?

She still thinks
he can get to her.

What is this?

Other possible incidents

Dobbins could be
connected to.

(Benson)
We have six girls gone missing
in the last year.

All around Holly's age
and description.

The last two rows are
all missing girls

in the tri-state area,
also in the last year.

(Cragen)
Get Dobbins' mugshot
in an array.

I want every one of these
victims and witnesses

reinterviewed,
see if anybody can ID him.

(Stabler)
Captain, if he murdered
Laura Swift,

who knows where he went
to find another victim.

We gotta get his photo
to the FBI.

It's done.

I got the search warrant
for the Dobbins' house.

It's good for any forensics
and the gun.

It's a license
to look anywhere.

I'm gonna tear
the place apart.

There's nothing in the car.

Crime Scene's flatbedding it
to the lab to check for blood.

(Stabler)
Computers--check 'em all
for kiddie porn.

Pornography?

My husband's not
that kind of man.

Your husband's
a child molester.

You should talk
to your daughters.

He never touched them.

The victims were abused
in this room.

They described this basement.

The inside of his car.

How it felt
when he touched them.

You should make sure
your kids are okay.

My husband would die

before he hurt a child.

He was never alone
with any of those girls.

I was here!

You were right here,

you didn't do
a damn thing about it?

It was happening right
under your roof,

and you tell me
what a great guy

your husband is?

Lady, you're as sick
as he is!

Elliot.

[dogs barking]

[panting]

I gotta get out of here.
I'm losing it.

It's okay, Elliot.
You gotta calm down.

I nearly punched that woman
in the face in there.

I can't do this anymore.
I can't do this.

You know, this is tough
on all of us.

It was never this hard.

Look, you're under
a lot of stress right now.

Why don't you go home
and get some rest?

The house is empty.

Call Kathy.

Call your kids
and go see them.

It's not the same.

How do you walk away?

You just don't walk away
after 20 years.

How do you walk away?

(Fin)
Told you not to eat

that supermarket sushi.
Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Find anything?

No gun,
but take a look at this.

Erie County District
Attorney's Office?

Dobbins has
a sealed arrest in Buffalo.

What's the charge?

(Novak)
Soliciting a prostitute.

She solicited me.

What does this have to do with
the charges against my client?

Everything.

That girl was
only 15 years old.

(Dobbins)
She was drinking

in a bar for God's sake.

She didn't look
like she was 15.

Is that the best
you can come up with?

It was 18 years ago.

I was depressed.
My fiance had just left me.

I was trying to forget--

Mark, stop talking.

No, no, I want

to explain this.

She hit on me.

And then she says
something like

it would be 100 bucks or
something for the night,

and before I could
tell her no,

some drunken cop
on the next barstool

jumps up and slaps
handcuffs on me.

The DA dropped
the charges.

Ten years later,
I'm married, I got a kid,

I got another one
on the way.

My football team wins
the county championship.

I'm in the paper.

The same cop

who busted me sees it.

And he calls the school board.

They fired me on the spot.

And the state
pulled my teaching license.

Well, you don't need a license
to teach at a private school.

Nobody would hire me
because of that arrest.

That letter--

That letter got me my job
at Chestnut.

Well, it was very nice
of the Erie County DA

to write it for you.

You know.

That you forged it?
Yeah.

[sighs]

I, uh--

I had to.

I got screwed then

just like
I'm getting screwed now.

While you're in
the confessing mood,

why don't you
go the distance?

He's innocent.

Don't put Holly,
Nicole, and Danielle

through the trauma
of a trial.

Give Laura Swift's mother
and father a body

to bury.

I didn't murder anyone.

And I didn't abuse
those girls.

I'm gonna make sure the judge
maxes out your sentence

when you're convicted.

I will see you in court.

[cell buzzer]

Hey.

What time is it?

It's five to 8:00.

How'd you know
I was up here?

Well, you didn't
answer your phone

last night or this morning.

We catch a job?
Not yet.

Give me another hour.

No time.

Novak called.

She's prepping Holly
for her swearability hearing.

She wants you there.

What does she need me for?

She wants to make sure

that Holly's comfortable
testifying.

Cover for me, will ya?

Holly asked for you.

I'm done.

You know, running away's
not going to help.

I'm a little too beat

for the dime store shrink
routine right now.

Elliott, that little girl
is counting on you.

You quit on her now,

and you're just another man
that she can't trust.

That's not who you are.

(Holly)
Where is Miss Novak?

(Stabler)
She'll be here soon.

Where do I sit?

That big chair
is for the judge,

and you'll sit right there.

Wanna give it
a try?

Have a seat.

This is scary.

Yeah, a little bit.

I sit up here
all the time, though.

Do they make you swear
to tell the truth?

Yes.

Miss Novak said
the judge is gonna

make me swear
to tell the truth.

First, he's gonna

ask you if you know
the difference

between the truth
and a lie.

And do you get in trouble
if you tell a lie?

Holly, what's the matter?

[crying]
I don't want to do this.

How come?

I don't want
to get in trouble.

Why would you get
in trouble?

I told a lie.

Uncle Mark didn't do
anything to me.

We know Holly was raped.

Why is she recanting?

It happens a lot.

Her Uncle Mark's gone to jail,

she sees her cousins crying,
missing their daddy,

she wants things
the way they used to be.

Think the family's
pressuring her?

Or Mark Dobbins got to her.

If he did, then we got him
for witness tampering.

I'll check
the jail phone records.

We should also talk
to the other two girls.

Way ahead of you.

(Benson)
Are you scared
of something, Nicole?

(Nicole)
I'm scared of Mr. Dobbins.

Why?

He's mad at me
for telling.

Did Mr. Dobbins call you?

No.

Well, then how do you know
he's mad at you?

Because my mom says
he's a very bad man.

(Benson)
Well, what else does your mom
say about Mr. Dobbins?

He hurts little girls,

and I have to help you
put him in jail.

Son of a bitch.

Can I go home now?

[knock at door]

Excuse me, Captain.

Hi, Danielle. Do you remember
me, Detective Stabler?

Hi.
Hi.

I know how hard it is
to talk about what happened.

Uh huh.

Especially having
to remember all the stuff

that you're supposed to say.

Uh huh.

Danielle,
who helps you remember?

My mom.

She keeps
asking me questions.

What questions?

Did Mr. Dobbins touch me,

did he take off my pants...

And what do you tell her?

I told her no.

But she kept asking me
and asking me.

I didn't want her
to be mad.

So I said yes.

Their mothers
are full of crap.

They knew Holly
had been molested

and they badgered
their daughters

into saying they were too.

I've been chasing
a bunch of lies.

We all have been.

No one could've seen
this one coming.

Try telling that
to Dobbins.

It's his life and reputation
that've been shot to hell.

He didn't do a damn thing.

Holly, Nicole, and Danielle
all named Dobbins.

Their stories matched.

I bought into the hysteria.

Hysteria is like a disease.

It's contagious.

And the guy who raped Holly

is still out there.

Captain, we gotta spring
Dobbins from Rikers.

Call Novak.

Get her into night court.

(Novak)
In light of this new
information, Your Honor,

the People request
that the indictment

against the defendant,
Mark Dobbins,

be dismissed
in the interest of justice.

Mr. Langdon,

anything for the record?

Just that we're stunned
that people charged my client

with these heinous crimes
without proper investigation.

(Judge)
Mr. Dobbins,

the court offers you
its sincerest apologies

for putting you through
this terrible ordeal.

I'm dismissing
the indictment.

You are free to go.

And we're adjourned.

[bangs gavel]

Thank you.

Mark--
[clears throat]

Julie.

I-I don't know
what to say.

How long have we known
each other, Larry?

Holly's like my own daughter.

I didn't believe it
at first, I swear.

How could you think I would do
those awful things to her?

She was abused!

Someone hurt my little girl.

When those two other girls
said it was you,

what was I supposed
to think, Mark?

We just wanna get back
to our lives.

Let's go.
Come on, sweetheart.

They're never
gonna forgive us.

We helped spread
the poison.

You told
those other girls' parents

what happened to Holly?

My wife.

Yes, I called their mothers
to warn them.

I thought I was
doing the right thing.

There's no question your
daughter was molested,

but Mark Dobbins
didn't do it.

Well, then why did Holly
accuse him?

Because she's so afraid
of her abuser,

she named the safest target.

Holly, you have
to tell us the truth.

Who hurt you?

He'll kill me.

He won't if you tell us
who he is.

Detective Stabler

will put him in jail.
No!

He said he'd sneak out
and come to our house

when we're sleeping.

He said he'd shoot
me and you.

And Mom.

Holly, it's okay.

It's okay.

Mrs. Purcell,
why don't you go take Holly

and get something
to drink?

Come on, sweetheart.

[sighs]
Now what?

I think you should take Holly
out of town for a few days.

You really think this guy's
gonna hurt her?

Holly does.

And that's not gonna change
until he's arrested.

How?

When you don't even know
who he is?

Sending Holly out of town
isn't gonna stop this guy

from molesting
another kid.
Or killing one.

But it's the only way for her
to feel safe again,

which just might
help her open up.

We just don't
have that time.

We've gotta get
inside of her head now.

Gimme those drawings.

The ones Holly did for me.

(Stabler)
What are you looking for?

Maybe she already told us.

these drawings depict
Holly's inner life.

See in this one she drew herself
without hands.

Feels powerless,
disconnected from her parents.

She doesn't want them
to know about the abuse.

This is Holly's bedroom.

Why is that the only one
that's blacked out?

She doesn't want anyone
to see inside.

She feels ashamed.

And this one,
all these kids are playing

here together
and Holly's standing

over here by this big guy.

Who she identified
as her abuser.

Oh, no.

What?

I assumed that
was Mark Dobbins,

because I accepted
what Holly told me

without even considering

it could've been
someone else.

Well, you're not the only one
who jumped on that train.

Well, she was telling us
who abused her.

Look what he's wearing,

a maroon and white jersey.

Coaches don't wear those.

But students do.

Maybe our perp's
a football player.

(Stabler)
That's not a football uniform.

That's more like
a rugby jersey.

With a yellow stripe
on the sleeve.

(Hendrix)
I want to apologize
to you, Holly.

You were trying so hard
to tell us,

and we just didn't
understand.

Holly, we looked
at your pictures again.

Now, remember the one that you
drew of the soccer game?

(Stabler)
Excuse me.

'Scuse me.
Talk to you a second?

Yeah, hey, what's up?

How are you?

Me?
I'm good.

That yellow stripe
on your sleeve--

I don't see it on the other
guys' uniforms.

I'm team captain,

so I'm the only one
who has it.

I thought this
was your Uncle Mark.

But it isn't.

It's a Lacrosse player.

I know because of the shirt
that he's wearing.

The other day when you were
watching the fourth grade

girls play soccer,

I didn't catch your name.

Kevin Wilcox
and I wasn't watching them.

I was practicing.

(Benson)
I also know who he is.

Detective Stabler is going
to arrest him

and put him in jail.

And if you tell me his name,

he's never ever
gonna get out.

You were practicing
or fantasizing?

What are you talking about?

Holly Purcell.

She drew you.

Picture's worth
1,000 words, huh?

Please, I need you
to tell me his name.

Kevin Wilcox.

Kevin.

You're toast.

Holly Purcell just ID'd you

as her attacker.

Last week she said
it was Coach D.

That girl can't keep
her story straight.
That's because

you scared the crap out of her

when you threatened her
with your gun.

I don't own a gun.

(Fin)
What do you call that?
Not mine.

That's funny, I found that

under the spare tire
in your car.

Well, I don't know
how that got there.

(Stabler)
I do.

Trunk's your secret

hiding place.

That's where you
keep your gun

and the little girls
you shoot with it.

I didn't shoot anyone.

Yeah, you did.

Laura Swift.

Who?

(Fin)
You left a shell

casing in
the boathouse, genius.

Lab matched the tool marks
from the firing pin

to that gun right there.

And then there's the other
problem with your car.

You know, you think
your trunk is clean,

but no matter
how hard you scrub,

we come along
with a little bit of luminol

and all those blood spots
that you missed--

they light right up.

You--you're bluffing.

You're dead meat, punk.

(Stabler)
You're a child molester.

You're the bottom
of the food chain in prison.

How long you think it's gonna
take his fellow cons

to find out
he's a baby raper?

I make a few calls.
A week, tops.

You can't do that.

Who's gonna know?

They're gonna rip
your cherry ass apart.

Unless you tell us
where you buried Laura Swift.

(Benson)
Hey.

Wilcox give it up?

Copped to raping Holly.

Said he buried Laura Swift
in a vacant lot

in College Point.

I'm going there now.

I'm going home.

Why don't you stop

at your desk first?

Happy Birthday, Dad.

Think you got
enough candles on that cake?

We always have a cake.

Olivia called

and said you'd be here.

Mom lent me the car.

How's she doing?

Okay.
How 'bout you?

Great.

You have to make a wish.

'Course I do.

I'll be right back.

Mr. and Mrs. Dobbins--

Please.
Don't.

Chestnut Academy
fired me.

They said forging that letter
damaged my integrity.

Set a bad example

for the students.

I'll never get
another teaching job.

We're selling the house,

moving in
with my parents upstate.

I'm sorry.

I wish none of this
had ever happened.

Me too.

[whispers]
Your kids are waiting.

C'mere.
