1
00:00:09,287 --> 00:00:10,941
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:10,985 --> 00:00:12,334
sexually based offenses
3
00:00:12,377 --> 00:00:14,771
are considered especially heinous.
4
00:00:14,815 --> 00:00:16,947
In New York City, the
dedicated detectives
5
00:00:16,991 --> 00:00:18,862
who investigate these vicious felonies
6
00:00:18,906 --> 00:00:20,342
are members of an elite squad
7
00:00:20,385 --> 00:00:22,692
known as the Special Victims Unit.
8
00:00:22,736 --> 00:00:24,955
These are their stories.
9
00:00:26,435 --> 00:00:28,872
Single mothers in subsidized
housing are being trafficked
10
00:00:28,916 --> 00:00:31,309
in exchange for apartments.
11
00:00:31,353 --> 00:00:33,877
Congressman Howard's
Chief of Staff was there.
12
00:00:33,921 --> 00:00:35,139
My client has knowledge
13
00:00:35,183 --> 00:00:36,967
of complicit individuals at nonprofits
14
00:00:37,011 --> 00:00:38,969
and government agencies.
15
00:00:39,013 --> 00:00:40,841
You've heard of a Dr. Catalina Machado?
16
00:00:40,884 --> 00:00:42,843
Yeah, the founder of Proud Life.
17
00:00:42,886 --> 00:00:44,235
Catalina knew.
18
00:00:44,279 --> 00:00:46,237
Every single man that Ortiz named
19
00:00:46,281 --> 00:00:49,197
had a direct connection to Proud Life.
20
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,807
What else does she have to offer?
21
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:53,854
Well, a Deputy Mayor,
three congressmen...
22
00:00:53,897 --> 00:00:55,769
The old guard is coming for me.
23
00:00:55,812 --> 00:00:57,161
What I see?
24
00:00:57,205 --> 00:00:59,163
Failure written all over you.
25
00:00:59,207 --> 00:01:01,209
Crazy.
26
00:01:04,734 --> 00:01:06,170
Pretty good-looking couple.
27
00:01:06,214 --> 00:01:09,173
She's a cop. His first partner.
28
00:01:18,443 --> 00:01:19,793
You think anybody at
the wedding saw us?
29
00:01:19,836 --> 00:01:21,316
Nobody saw us.
30
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:22,447
This is not a great idea.
31
00:01:22,491 --> 00:01:23,971
It's the courthouse at 10:00 p.m.
32
00:01:24,014 --> 00:01:26,016
It's not like the cleaning
crew is gonna bust us.
33
00:01:30,542 --> 00:01:33,763
Look.
34
00:01:33,807 --> 00:01:36,853
Is this even real?
35
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:39,726
It seems like it is.
36
00:01:41,858 --> 00:01:44,426
And tomorrow?
37
00:01:47,995 --> 00:01:50,780
All of them? I live in a studio.
38
00:01:50,824 --> 00:01:52,739
Phoebe wants you and
C�line to enjoy them.
39
00:01:52,782 --> 00:01:54,436
Tell Phoebe they're lovely.
40
00:01:54,479 --> 00:01:55,480
That was kind of nice, right?
41
00:01:55,524 --> 00:01:56,786
The best!
42
00:01:56,830 --> 00:01:58,135
What's next?
43
00:01:58,179 --> 00:02:00,355
You guys going on a
we-didn't-get-married-moon?
44
00:02:00,398 --> 00:02:02,487
Not yet. Catalina's flippin'.
45
00:02:02,531 --> 00:02:05,055
Captain wants all hands
on deck, all weekend.
46
00:02:05,099 --> 00:02:07,405
Copy that.
47
00:02:07,449 --> 00:02:09,277
- Counselor Carisi?
- Yeah, sorry I'm late.
48
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,452
Anya Avital, Southern District.
49
00:02:10,495 --> 00:02:11,758
Good to meet you.
50
00:02:11,801 --> 00:02:13,368
The rest of the team is waiting.
51
00:02:13,411 --> 00:02:15,544
Oh. Lipstick.
52
00:02:15,587 --> 00:02:16,806
What?
53
00:02:16,850 --> 00:02:19,548
You had fun at the wedding, huh?
54
00:02:20,854 --> 00:02:21,942
Got it, Chief.
55
00:02:21,985 --> 00:02:23,247
CompStat first thing Tuesday morning.
56
00:02:23,291 --> 00:02:24,509
I'll be there.
57
00:02:24,553 --> 00:02:25,815
CompStat?
58
00:02:25,859 --> 00:02:27,469
So Chief McGrath can bully you again?
59
00:02:27,512 --> 00:02:29,036
That's not what this is, Lamai.
60
00:02:29,079 --> 00:02:32,343
Catalina Machado is with
the Southern District right now.
61
00:02:32,387 --> 00:02:33,388
We thought she was the ring leader,
62
00:02:33,431 --> 00:02:34,389
but if she's just the middleman,
63
00:02:34,432 --> 00:02:37,131
who knows how high this goes?
64
00:02:37,174 --> 00:02:39,263
SVU takes the lead on this case.
65
00:02:39,307 --> 00:02:43,833
Politicians, congressmen
involved in sex trafficking?
66
00:02:43,877 --> 00:02:46,314
This is the break I need at NYPD.
67
00:02:48,925 --> 00:02:51,449
My colleagues, U.S. Attorneys
Carstairs and Atwood.
68
00:02:51,493 --> 00:02:55,236
And of course, you
know Catalina Machado.
69
00:02:55,279 --> 00:02:57,151
We've met.
70
00:02:57,194 --> 00:02:58,326
Where's Captain Benson?
71
00:02:58,369 --> 00:03:00,110
She's en route, Counselor.
72
00:03:00,154 --> 00:03:01,459
My boss already punched
out; now I've missed
73
00:03:01,503 --> 00:03:03,113
the last ferry to the Jersey Shore.
74
00:03:03,157 --> 00:03:05,899
Can we get started here
before I miss the entire weekend?
75
00:03:05,942 --> 00:03:08,205
Let me call her again.
76
00:03:08,249 --> 00:03:09,598
It was a great night.
77
00:03:09,641 --> 00:03:12,166
Everything that's
been going on, it's just...
78
00:03:12,209 --> 00:03:14,168
- It's nice to get a break.
- It really was.
79
00:03:15,212 --> 00:03:16,474
Hold on a second.
80
00:03:16,518 --> 00:03:17,824
I've got Carisi on the other line.
81
00:03:17,867 --> 00:03:18,955
Yeah, take it. I'll be right here.
82
00:03:18,999 --> 00:03:20,304
Liv, where are you?
83
00:03:20,348 --> 00:03:21,828
I got half the Southern
District waiting here.
84
00:03:21,871 --> 00:03:24,221
- On my way, on my way.
- Okay, see you soon.
85
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,311
She may be a few more minutes.
86
00:03:27,355 --> 00:03:28,965
Why don't we get started?
87
00:03:29,009 --> 00:03:31,141
I was supposed to be at
the DA's office an hour ago,
88
00:03:31,185 --> 00:03:34,231
- so I gotta go.
- I know you do.
89
00:03:35,624 --> 00:03:37,191
Except that I've got some idiot
90
00:03:37,234 --> 00:03:39,106
with his brights on behind me.
91
00:03:39,149 --> 00:03:40,368
Eh, pull over.
92
00:03:41,543 --> 00:03:43,501
Hey, Liv, let him pass.
93
00:03:43,545 --> 00:03:45,329
I'm trying.
94
00:03:49,377 --> 00:03:52,641
Liv? Liv? Liv!
95
00:03:52,684 --> 00:03:54,948
I got you.
96
00:03:54,991 --> 00:03:57,428
Stay with me.
97
00:03:57,472 --> 00:03:58,952
Elliot.
98
00:03:58,995 --> 00:04:00,910
Hey, I'm here.
99
00:04:06,046 --> 00:04:08,004
Hang in there, ma'am.
You're going to be okay.
100
00:04:08,048 --> 00:04:09,571
We got you.
101
00:04:54,412 --> 00:04:57,799
www.TUSUBTITULO.com
-DIFUNDE LA CULTURA-
102
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:08,108
You scared the hell out of us, Liv.
103
00:05:08,151 --> 00:05:10,240
Guys, I'm fine. Air bags.
104
00:05:10,284 --> 00:05:12,982
How about that ankle?
105
00:05:13,026 --> 00:05:14,549
Well, they want me
to get an MRI, but...
106
00:05:14,592 --> 00:05:16,507
Like I have time.
107
00:05:16,551 --> 00:05:18,509
No, you got to see an orthopedist.
108
00:05:18,553 --> 00:05:19,554
You don't mess around with an ankle.
109
00:05:19,597 --> 00:05:21,382
Thank you, Doctor Carisi.
110
00:05:21,425 --> 00:05:23,558
Crash investigations get anything?
111
00:05:23,601 --> 00:05:26,169
Stabler and the OC are looking into it.
112
00:05:26,213 --> 00:05:28,389
Going through my car,
looking at traffic cams.
113
00:05:28,432 --> 00:05:31,479
But so far the working theory
is drunk driver, hit and run.
114
00:05:31,522 --> 00:05:33,481
By someone who knew
just how hard to hit you
115
00:05:33,524 --> 00:05:35,048
and just how fast to run.
116
00:05:35,091 --> 00:05:38,399
Fin, if there's anything
there, they will find it.
117
00:05:38,442 --> 00:05:40,575
How did it go with
Catalina? Was she helpful?
118
00:05:40,618 --> 00:05:42,577
And then some. She's a font.
119
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:44,100
Chief McGrath will be happy.
120
00:05:44,144 --> 00:05:46,015
Even when he's happy, he's not happy.
121
00:05:46,059 --> 00:05:48,017
Bring me up to speed?
122
00:05:48,061 --> 00:05:49,540
Here it is.
123
00:05:49,702 --> 00:05:51,540
_
124
00:05:51,629 --> 00:05:54,589
Our investigation started
with a prostitution complaint
125
00:05:54,632 --> 00:05:56,112
from a neighbor.
126
00:05:56,156 --> 00:05:58,375
And we quickly ascertained
that homeless mothers
127
00:05:58,419 --> 00:06:01,074
were being given subsidized housing
128
00:06:01,117 --> 00:06:02,423
and then threatened with eviction
129
00:06:02,466 --> 00:06:04,599
if they didn't provide sexual services.
130
00:06:04,642 --> 00:06:06,644
And how did that get
us to Catalina Machado?
131
00:06:06,688 --> 00:06:09,212
We picked up Ruben Ortiz,
132
00:06:09,256 --> 00:06:12,302
who was the aide to Congressman
George Justin Howard.
133
00:06:12,346 --> 00:06:15,131
He gave up Catalina.
134
00:06:15,175 --> 00:06:17,351
She in turn named co-conspirators,
135
00:06:17,394 --> 00:06:18,743
including a former HUD secretary
136
00:06:18,787 --> 00:06:21,181
and two former assemblymen and...
137
00:06:21,224 --> 00:06:23,444
I'm hearing a lot of formers.
138
00:06:23,487 --> 00:06:26,403
So who is your
highest-raking public servant
139
00:06:26,447 --> 00:06:28,666
who still has a job?
140
00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:31,191
Congressman Howard.
141
00:06:33,373 --> 00:06:37,608
_
142
00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:41,201
Nothing sadder than
143
00:06:41,244 --> 00:06:44,552
white people congratulating themselves.
144
00:06:44,595 --> 00:06:46,336
That bulldog is Howard's handler?
145
00:06:46,380 --> 00:06:47,772
That's Myron Gold.
146
00:06:47,816 --> 00:06:50,123
That's Howard's lawyer
turned political consultant.
147
00:06:50,166 --> 00:06:52,516
Word is Gold is gonna make
Howard the next president.
148
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,083
That happens,
149
00:06:54,127 --> 00:06:56,477
C�line and I are moving to France.
150
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,740
Justin Howard was born in Westchester.
151
00:06:58,783 --> 00:07:02,004
He is the only son of a
prominent New York family.
152
00:07:02,048 --> 00:07:03,745
Can we cut to the chase?
153
00:07:03,788 --> 00:07:06,139
You've got Catalina
and Ortiz wearing wires?
154
00:07:06,182 --> 00:07:07,488
Yes.
155
00:07:07,531 --> 00:07:09,098
And neither of them
knows the other is wired.
156
00:07:09,142 --> 00:07:12,014
Even better.
157
00:07:12,058 --> 00:07:13,581
- Victims?
- Yeah.
158
00:07:13,624 --> 00:07:16,279
Phone records?
159
00:07:16,323 --> 00:07:17,672
When do we pick him up?
160
00:07:17,715 --> 00:07:19,108
There is a fundraiser this weekend.
161
00:07:19,152 --> 00:07:22,503
Well, to be fair, we're
still building the case.
162
00:07:22,546 --> 00:07:25,723
We're going over NDAs;
we're following online payments.
163
00:07:25,767 --> 00:07:27,638
I don't want this
investigation to stall out,
164
00:07:27,682 --> 00:07:31,120
like the Feds with that...
that Ken doll, Gaetz.
165
00:07:32,643 --> 00:07:34,645
You reel this guy in,
166
00:07:34,689 --> 00:07:36,473
that's a win for us.
167
00:07:36,517 --> 00:07:39,172
And for you, Chief Garland...
168
00:07:40,695 --> 00:07:44,264
Everything will be forgiven.
169
00:07:47,746 --> 00:07:49,564
_
170
00:07:49,573 --> 00:07:53,055
I saw you on the news
this morning, ringing the bell.
171
00:07:53,099 --> 00:07:54,404
Good for you!
172
00:07:54,448 --> 00:07:57,103
- Big things are happening.
- Absolutely.
173
00:07:57,146 --> 00:07:59,714
And wherever I go, there's
a place for you, Catalina.
174
00:07:59,757 --> 00:08:01,716
Aw, God bless you, Congressman.
175
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:03,152
Whatever I can do.
176
00:08:03,196 --> 00:08:04,762
Oh, since you mentioned it,
177
00:08:04,806 --> 00:08:07,287
I went by Holt Tower
to visit my mother,
178
00:08:07,330 --> 00:08:10,812
and I couldn't find my friend
Paulie, the maintenance guy.
179
00:08:10,855 --> 00:08:13,641
He had a family emergency.
180
00:08:13,684 --> 00:08:15,469
But I miss my sweet Rosa.
181
00:08:15,512 --> 00:08:17,732
Rosa's been a little difficult.
182
00:08:17,775 --> 00:08:20,256
She's worried about
what her son might know.
183
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:21,779
So we need another NDA.
184
00:08:21,823 --> 00:08:23,564
I'm already on it, boss.
185
00:08:23,607 --> 00:08:25,218
The problem is these young mothers,
186
00:08:25,261 --> 00:08:27,089
always worried about their little kids.
187
00:08:27,133 --> 00:08:29,091
Aren't there deserving
homeless families
188
00:08:29,135 --> 00:08:31,354
with, uh, teenage daughters?
189
00:08:31,398 --> 00:08:33,574
I'm sure we can find some.
190
00:08:33,617 --> 00:08:35,880
Thank you, Catalina.
191
00:08:35,924 --> 00:08:37,404
What a piece of crap.
192
00:08:37,447 --> 00:08:40,755
I do love to, uh, mentor.
193
00:08:40,798 --> 00:08:42,322
So maybe you can let
me know by Saturday?
194
00:08:42,365 --> 00:08:44,324
Chief McGrath.
195
00:08:44,367 --> 00:08:46,500
Don't get up. You stay off of that leg.
196
00:08:46,543 --> 00:08:47,675
It's not a big deal.
197
00:08:47,718 --> 00:08:49,764
We're all lucky that it wasn't worse.
198
00:08:49,807 --> 00:08:51,766
Especially Chief Garland.
199
00:08:51,809 --> 00:08:54,899
I am well aware that this
is more your case than his.
200
00:08:54,943 --> 00:08:56,118
Oh, I wouldn't say that.
201
00:08:56,162 --> 00:08:59,208
I've been working
closely with him on this.
202
00:08:59,252 --> 00:09:01,341
That's good to hear.
203
00:09:01,384 --> 00:09:06,476
So, between us, I have a
very good UC who I trust.
204
00:09:07,912 --> 00:09:09,653
Howard is going to a fundraiser,
205
00:09:09,697 --> 00:09:13,222
and I have two CIs
in the room with him.
206
00:09:13,266 --> 00:09:14,745
Even so,
207
00:09:14,789 --> 00:09:16,878
can't hurt to bolster their testimony.
208
00:09:16,921 --> 00:09:19,185
So who can, uh... who can middle that?
209
00:09:19,228 --> 00:09:22,623
Maybe Dr. Machado.
I'll let Garland know.
210
00:09:22,666 --> 00:09:25,408
Eh, eh, eh, don't.
211
00:09:26,801 --> 00:09:28,411
Department's a little worried
212
00:09:28,455 --> 00:09:29,630
about Garland's prior relationship
213
00:09:29,673 --> 00:09:32,328
to Catalina Machado.
214
00:09:34,722 --> 00:09:37,420
I can assure you
215
00:09:37,464 --> 00:09:41,555
that Garland's loyalty
is to the Department.
216
00:09:43,209 --> 00:09:46,473
There's still the matter
of his judgement.
217
00:09:46,516 --> 00:09:50,825
I'm trusting you not to
mention this UC to him, okay?
218
00:09:52,522 --> 00:09:54,698
Or anyone else on your
squad, for that matter.
219
00:09:54,742 --> 00:09:56,787
Chief, this could be
dangerous for your guy.
220
00:09:56,831 --> 00:09:59,921
So make sure it isn't.
221
00:10:09,583 --> 00:10:11,976
So the Holt Tower
trafficking case is now focused
222
00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:13,978
on Congressman Howard's involvement.
223
00:10:14,022 --> 00:10:16,285
Rosa, Lulu, and
Denise have all disclosed
224
00:10:16,329 --> 00:10:18,722
that Howard paid them multiple visits.
225
00:10:18,766 --> 00:10:20,768
So, are they all solid?
226
00:10:24,075 --> 00:10:25,555
Guys, is there a problem?
227
00:10:25,599 --> 00:10:28,166
Lulu's not talking until
she gets her daughter back.
228
00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:30,691
And I don't blame her... she's
already been burned twice.
229
00:10:30,734 --> 00:10:34,216
I'm working with protective
services on that, Fin.
230
00:10:34,260 --> 00:10:37,785
- And Denise is out.
- Not worth another run?
231
00:10:37,828 --> 00:10:39,003
No, I mean out. Out of the city.
232
00:10:39,047 --> 00:10:40,744
Can't find her.
233
00:10:40,788 --> 00:10:42,572
Okay, that leaves Rosa.
234
00:10:42,616 --> 00:10:44,270
We promised to leave her alone,
235
00:10:44,313 --> 00:10:46,315
so she and her son
could have a fresh start.
236
00:10:46,359 --> 00:10:49,318
We did, but you two
have a good rapport,
237
00:10:49,362 --> 00:10:51,973
so ask her about Howard
and see where it leads.
238
00:10:55,621 --> 00:10:58,971
_
239
00:11:01,330 --> 00:11:03,027
Rosa?
240
00:11:03,071 --> 00:11:04,899
I told you that you can't be here.
241
00:11:04,942 --> 00:11:06,857
- I was on a school field trip.
- I know.
242
00:11:06,901 --> 00:11:09,251
Peque�o, mijo. And
bring me back my change.
243
00:11:09,295 --> 00:11:11,340
Look, things are
moving quickly, all right?
244
00:11:11,384 --> 00:11:13,342
We're looking to make a
case against Mr. Howard.
245
00:11:13,386 --> 00:11:15,083
No.
246
00:11:15,126 --> 00:11:17,781
Your own captain told me
after I helped with Catalina
247
00:11:17,825 --> 00:11:19,217
that I could keep the apartment.
248
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:20,306
She said it was over.
249
00:11:20,349 --> 00:11:23,091
And it is over... for you.
250
00:11:23,134 --> 00:11:24,919
But he's hurting other women.
251
00:11:24,962 --> 00:11:28,009
Raping girls.
252
00:11:29,184 --> 00:11:30,359
I believe it.
253
00:11:30,403 --> 00:11:32,100
The man's a pig, the worst of them all.
254
00:11:32,143 --> 00:11:34,320
We need your help to put him away.
255
00:11:34,363 --> 00:11:37,235
By testifying? Against Howard?
256
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:40,021
Are you crazy? You know who he is.
257
00:11:40,064 --> 00:11:42,371
I do. But we can protect you.
258
00:11:42,415 --> 00:11:44,939
Ma! You want some?
259
00:11:44,982 --> 00:11:46,288
I have to go.
260
00:11:46,332 --> 00:11:47,942
Hey, at least think it over?
261
00:11:47,985 --> 00:11:51,119
Let me be with my son.
262
00:11:54,818 --> 00:11:57,647
Are you nuts?
263
00:11:57,691 --> 00:11:59,301
Bad enough I had to rat out Catalina.
264
00:11:59,345 --> 00:12:00,824
But Howard?
265
00:12:00,868 --> 00:12:02,304
That guy's gonna be president someday.
266
00:12:02,348 --> 00:12:04,393
Got a machine behind
him. Think they're gonna let
267
00:12:04,437 --> 00:12:05,699
a mamaluke like me blow that up?
268
00:12:05,742 --> 00:12:07,135
We can drive you.
Say it's a medical issue.
269
00:12:07,178 --> 00:12:08,963
No one here has to know.
270
00:12:09,006 --> 00:12:10,965
Grand jury.
271
00:12:11,008 --> 00:12:12,880
I told you already.
272
00:12:12,923 --> 00:12:16,144
I took Howard to Lulu's
apartment, Denise's apartment,
273
00:12:16,187 --> 00:12:18,189
and Rosa's apartment.
274
00:12:18,233 --> 00:12:21,410
Well... well, now we
need you to testify to that.
275
00:12:23,934 --> 00:12:26,110
How are we doing on the
afterparty for the fundraiser?
276
00:12:26,154 --> 00:12:27,721
I haven't heard back from Catalina.
277
00:12:27,764 --> 00:12:29,897
- She's working on it.
- Not fast enough.
278
00:12:29,940 --> 00:12:32,682
It's been a busy week,
and we need to unwind.
279
00:12:32,726 --> 00:12:35,772
What about those girls
who interned last summer?
280
00:12:35,816 --> 00:12:37,295
They were still in high school, boss.
281
00:12:37,339 --> 00:12:39,428
Just make sure they have IDs.
282
00:12:39,472 --> 00:12:42,388
Ooh, the petite blonde.
She was like a colt.
283
00:12:42,431 --> 00:12:44,346
Colt's the male horse.
284
00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:46,783
Filly's the female.
285
00:12:46,827 --> 00:12:48,176
You getting confused, partner?
286
00:12:48,219 --> 00:12:50,700
Well, she was flat and sleek.
287
00:12:50,744 --> 00:12:52,441
That's all I know.
None of that mama fat.
288
00:12:52,485 --> 00:12:53,834
Oh, Jenna.
289
00:12:53,877 --> 00:12:55,357
That's her. That's my little pony.
290
00:12:56,750 --> 00:12:59,666
- And her cute friend.
- Hayden.
291
00:12:59,709 --> 00:13:02,320
So Ortiz needed a law
degree to become a pimp.
292
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:04,061
Jenna, how old is she?
293
00:13:04,105 --> 00:13:06,107
Ortiz said she's a sophomore.
294
00:13:06,150 --> 00:13:08,022
So high school. What, 16?
295
00:13:08,065 --> 00:13:10,198
Yeah, or maybe even 15.
296
00:13:10,241 --> 00:13:12,853
I've got three girls at Sacred Heart.
297
00:13:12,896 --> 00:13:15,159
God, this makes me sick.
298
00:13:15,203 --> 00:13:18,467
Make sure Ortiz gets
this Jenna to the fundraiser
299
00:13:18,511 --> 00:13:21,296
and catch Howard in the act
and arrest him on-site, okay?
300
00:13:21,339 --> 00:13:23,385
Again, Chief, the thinking here
301
00:13:23,429 --> 00:13:25,779
is that maybe we let
this play out a bit more.
302
00:13:25,822 --> 00:13:27,215
Why?
303
00:13:27,258 --> 00:13:29,435
Well, some of our
witnesses are a bit reluctant.
304
00:13:29,478 --> 00:13:31,480
And we're thinking if
we give them more time...
305
00:13:31,524 --> 00:13:33,351
Tell your witnesses to grow a pair.
306
00:13:33,395 --> 00:13:34,962
I want this guy to go down now.
307
00:13:35,005 --> 00:13:36,964
- You understand me?
- With all due respect,
308
00:13:37,007 --> 00:13:38,705
we're only gonna get one
shot at Congressman Howard.
309
00:13:38,748 --> 00:13:40,184
And the Eighth Floor agrees.
310
00:13:40,228 --> 00:13:43,231
Yeah, well, they got no balls, either.
311
00:13:44,188 --> 00:13:45,973
Correct me if I'm wrong, Counselor,
312
00:13:46,016 --> 00:13:48,366
but as soon as Howard
announces his exploratory committee
313
00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:49,933
for presidency,
314
00:13:49,977 --> 00:13:51,935
then any arrest is gonna
be perceived as political.
315
00:13:51,979 --> 00:13:52,980
- Am I right?
- Agreed.
316
00:13:53,023 --> 00:13:54,285
But that's still a ways off.
317
00:13:54,329 --> 00:13:57,767
What's not is a new mayor.
318
00:13:57,811 --> 00:13:59,029
And after the year that we've just had,
319
00:13:59,073 --> 00:14:00,727
Howard is the perfect target.
320
00:14:00,770 --> 00:14:02,076
You mean white?
321
00:14:02,119 --> 00:14:03,556
And privileged, yeah.
322
00:14:03,599 --> 00:14:06,994
And that is just the kind
of headline that makes us...
323
00:14:08,386 --> 00:14:11,955
Captain, are you with us?
324
00:14:11,999 --> 00:14:14,131
I'm sorry.
325
00:14:14,175 --> 00:14:15,524
Something's come up.
326
00:14:15,568 --> 00:14:17,831
I have a situation and I need to leave.
327
00:14:17,874 --> 00:14:19,789
Excuse me.
328
00:14:22,183 --> 00:14:23,445
Where's the captain?
329
00:14:23,489 --> 00:14:25,969
Don't know. Still
haven't heard from her.
330
00:14:26,013 --> 00:14:29,190
That did not feel right,
pressuring Rosa today.
331
00:14:29,233 --> 00:14:31,061
I feel like we're
rushing this, you know?
332
00:14:31,105 --> 00:14:32,802
Maybe she'll talk to McGrath about it.
333
00:14:32,846 --> 00:14:35,022
Good luck.
334
00:14:35,065 --> 00:14:37,938
I know the job is not
supposed to be easy, but...
335
00:14:37,981 --> 00:14:41,332
today is the first day
where it just felt wrong.
336
00:14:41,376 --> 00:14:42,856
You know?
337
00:14:42,899 --> 00:14:45,380
That's part of the job,
too. You gotta get past that.
338
00:14:48,214 --> 00:14:49,880
_
339
00:14:49,906 --> 00:14:53,040
Morales was a cop gone
bad. He was distressed.
340
00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:56,565
Couldn't handle it.
341
00:14:56,609 --> 00:15:00,134
So what happened next?
342
00:15:00,177 --> 00:15:03,485
He put a gun to his head.
343
00:15:03,529 --> 00:15:05,531
Sergeant Bell was
trying to talk him down.
344
00:15:08,011 --> 00:15:10,318
No. You do not go out this way.
345
00:15:10,361 --> 00:15:13,582
Ayanna, I need you right now.
346
00:15:13,626 --> 00:15:15,236
- I'm here.
- I need you.
347
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:16,890
I'm here.
348
00:15:16,933 --> 00:15:19,893
Morales finally lowers his weapon
349
00:15:19,936 --> 00:15:22,852
and we all took a breath.
350
00:15:22,896 --> 00:15:25,507
You have your... no!
351
00:15:25,551 --> 00:15:27,204
Everything happened so quickly.
352
00:15:27,248 --> 00:15:28,989
He aimed his gun at us,
353
00:15:29,032 --> 00:15:31,861
and Sergeant Bell
used force to fire first.
354
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:37,171
It was a good shooting. Textbook.
355
00:15:37,214 --> 00:15:39,216
Suicide by cop.
356
00:15:39,260 --> 00:15:42,524
Anything else you want to add?
357
00:15:42,568 --> 00:15:45,875
No.
358
00:15:45,919 --> 00:15:48,312
Why were you at the
hospital, Captain Benson?
359
00:15:49,531 --> 00:15:52,186
I received a text
from Detective Stabler.
360
00:15:52,229 --> 00:15:54,057
But I know now that he didn't send it.
361
00:15:54,101 --> 00:15:56,538
- How?
- He told me.
362
00:15:56,582 --> 00:16:00,368
And you have no reason to doubt him?
363
00:16:00,411 --> 00:16:03,371
He was my partner for... for 12 years.
364
00:16:03,414 --> 00:16:07,375
- Then who was it from?
- Richard Wheatley.
365
00:16:07,418 --> 00:16:11,118
It's all part of his vendetta
against Detective Stabler.
366
00:16:11,161 --> 00:16:14,904
Any woman who's
close to him is a target.
367
00:16:15,949 --> 00:16:17,864
Wheatley wanted to kill you?
368
00:16:17,907 --> 00:16:21,650
I was run off the road a week before.
369
00:16:21,694 --> 00:16:23,521
That may have been a warning shot.
370
00:16:23,565 --> 00:16:25,436
I'm aware. But at the hospital,
371
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,308
it was my understanding he sent Morales
372
00:16:27,351 --> 00:16:29,223
to kill his ex-wife, Angela Wheatley.
373
00:16:29,266 --> 00:16:31,921
Or both of us.
374
00:16:34,707 --> 00:16:39,581
Liv. Captain Olivia Benson.
375
00:16:42,018 --> 00:16:44,281
Wow.
376
00:16:44,325 --> 00:16:46,588
Elliot, now I completely understand.
377
00:16:46,632 --> 00:16:49,243
She's a knock out. Poor
Angela, though, huh?
378
00:16:49,286 --> 00:16:52,594
Such a pleasure to meet you, Liv.
379
00:16:52,638 --> 00:16:55,075
Get him out of here.
380
00:17:03,083 --> 00:17:05,868
- How'd it go at IAB?
- It went.
381
00:17:05,912 --> 00:17:07,827
Are we all set up for
Howard's fundraiser?
382
00:17:07,870 --> 00:17:09,306
Everything's in motion.
383
00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:13,702
Fin, help me understand.
What is it with these men?
384
00:17:13,746 --> 00:17:15,530
Wheatley, Howard...
385
00:17:15,573 --> 00:17:17,706
Too much money. Too much power.
386
00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:19,665
They think they can
do whatever they want.
387
00:17:24,191 --> 00:17:26,715
You okay?
388
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:28,891
I just... I tweaked my ankle again.
389
00:17:28,935 --> 00:17:31,154
- I'm fine.
- No, you're not.
390
00:17:31,198 --> 00:17:32,721
I'm taking you to the doctor.
391
00:17:37,113 --> 00:17:39,121
_
392
00:17:39,162 --> 00:17:41,121
Looks like a full house.
393
00:17:41,457 --> 00:17:44,286
Just make sure Howard
gets to the suite with the girls.
394
00:17:44,330 --> 00:17:45,461
We'll do the rest.
395
00:17:45,505 --> 00:17:47,028
Will he know I set him up?
396
00:17:47,072 --> 00:17:49,335
We'll burn that bridge
when we get to it.
397
00:17:49,378 --> 00:17:51,337
Meanwhile, just keep
rocking him to sleep.
398
00:17:51,380 --> 00:17:52,816
You don't understand.
399
00:17:52,860 --> 00:17:54,949
Howard gave me my
first job out of law school.
400
00:17:54,993 --> 00:17:56,777
He's been my friend since college.
401
00:17:56,820 --> 00:17:58,083
I-I can't do this.
402
00:17:58,126 --> 00:18:00,215
You want to continue
that friendship in jail?
403
00:18:00,259 --> 00:18:01,347
If the roles were reversed,
404
00:18:01,390 --> 00:18:02,870
he wouldn't think twice about you.
405
00:18:02,913 --> 00:18:05,264
Showtime. Let me walk you out.
406
00:18:08,919 --> 00:18:10,182
Ortiz gonna keep it together?
407
00:18:10,225 --> 00:18:12,401
Don't worry, Counselor.
408
00:18:20,105 --> 00:18:22,237
You ready? A lot riding on this.
409
00:18:22,281 --> 00:18:23,499
Yep. And if it all goes well,
410
00:18:23,543 --> 00:18:25,153
my bosses will take all the glory.
411
00:18:25,197 --> 00:18:26,372
If it doesn't?
412
00:18:26,415 --> 00:18:28,722
Maybe we open up our own agency.
413
00:18:29,853 --> 00:18:31,333
Actually, I like the sound of that.
414
00:18:32,943 --> 00:18:34,989
What a waste of a good hotel room.
415
00:18:37,818 --> 00:18:40,212
Oh, hold that thought.
416
00:18:40,255 --> 00:18:41,952
It's on.
417
00:18:47,523 --> 00:18:49,351
Good evening.
418
00:18:49,395 --> 00:18:52,180
Welcome, everybody.
I'm Catalina Machado.
419
00:18:52,224 --> 00:18:54,400
Whenever Proud Life has needed help,
420
00:18:54,443 --> 00:18:57,881
Congressman Howard has
always answered the call.
421
00:18:57,925 --> 00:18:59,535
And so when he called me to ask me
422
00:18:59,579 --> 00:19:03,017
to introduce him
tonight, I was honored.
423
00:19:03,061 --> 00:19:04,801
Congressman?
424
00:19:14,463 --> 00:19:18,337
Thank you, my dear friend. Amiga m�o.
425
00:19:18,380 --> 00:19:21,340
Our partnership with Proud
Life proves that we have
426
00:19:21,383 --> 00:19:24,125
bipartisan support to end homelessness.
427
00:19:24,169 --> 00:19:27,563
And who better to lead that
charge than Catalina Machado?
428
00:19:27,607 --> 00:19:29,870
Alliances like ours prove that
429
00:19:29,913 --> 00:19:34,135
results are more
important than petty politics.
430
00:19:34,179 --> 00:19:36,529
They're what real Americans want.
431
00:19:37,617 --> 00:19:39,314
He's got his rap down.
432
00:19:39,358 --> 00:19:41,969
Give him that much.
433
00:19:42,012 --> 00:19:43,927
The divisions in this
country break my heart.
434
00:19:43,971 --> 00:19:47,017
We need to stop the
blaming, finger-pointing,
435
00:19:47,061 --> 00:19:50,412
the demonization of corporate
America, the overregulation.
436
00:19:50,456 --> 00:19:53,589
Congressman is aware of the
obstacles facing your company.
437
00:19:53,633 --> 00:19:54,895
When he becomes president,
438
00:19:54,938 --> 00:19:56,984
pharma will have a
friend in the White House.
439
00:19:57,027 --> 00:19:58,290
I don't know about all that,
440
00:19:58,333 --> 00:20:01,336
but, uh, I do hope you
consider me an ally.
441
00:20:02,337 --> 00:20:04,600
All this tax talk must
be boring for you two.
442
00:20:04,644 --> 00:20:06,863
No, not at all, Congressman.
443
00:20:06,907 --> 00:20:09,170
You had me at lowering
capital gains rate.
444
00:20:09,214 --> 00:20:11,303
Justin, take it easy tonight.
445
00:20:11,346 --> 00:20:13,479
Tomorrow's an early day.
446
00:20:13,522 --> 00:20:16,525
Gold.
447
00:20:16,569 --> 00:20:18,179
Congressman Howard,
448
00:20:18,223 --> 00:20:20,964
meet Danny Qui�ones, AKA "Q."
449
00:20:21,008 --> 00:20:22,052
I told you about him.
450
00:20:22,096 --> 00:20:23,402
Oh, yes! Of course.
451
00:20:23,445 --> 00:20:24,968
I'm glad you decided to make it.
452
00:20:25,012 --> 00:20:27,145
Catalina tells me
you're a major influencer.
453
00:20:27,188 --> 00:20:29,190
He is. He reps a clothing line,
454
00:20:29,234 --> 00:20:32,019
a vape brand, um, a photo-sharing app?
455
00:20:32,062 --> 00:20:33,194
For what it's worth,
456
00:20:33,238 --> 00:20:34,978
I got about 40 million Insta followers.
457
00:20:35,022 --> 00:20:36,023
There's a lot of teenagers
458
00:20:36,066 --> 00:20:38,243
that'll be vote eligible in '24.
459
00:20:38,286 --> 00:20:40,201
Know this guy?
460
00:20:40,245 --> 00:20:42,943
Well, it looks like he's got
a net worth of $120 million,
461
00:20:42,986 --> 00:20:45,032
he guest DJs at Triller,
462
00:20:45,075 --> 00:20:48,383
and he's followed by Dua
Lipa, Lizzo, Billie Eilish...
463
00:20:48,427 --> 00:20:51,299
- Oh, Olivia Rodrigo.
- Who?
464
00:20:51,343 --> 00:20:55,042
Treat Q right, he'll lead
us to the Promised Land.
465
00:20:55,085 --> 00:20:57,392
I'm all about the youth,
you know what I'm saying?
466
00:20:57,436 --> 00:21:00,047
And I don't see a lot of it here.
467
00:21:00,090 --> 00:21:04,225
I have some young activists
in our hospitality suite.
468
00:21:04,269 --> 00:21:06,227
Care to "caucus"?
469
00:21:06,271 --> 00:21:10,362
If that means party, hell freaking yes.
470
00:21:14,148 --> 00:21:16,019
Amazing how these guys find each other.
471
00:21:16,063 --> 00:21:19,371
Players always do.
472
00:21:22,417 --> 00:21:24,680
- It's on.
- It's about time.
473
00:21:33,646 --> 00:21:35,300
Welcome to politics,
474
00:21:35,343 --> 00:21:38,085
where the men are fours
and the women are tens.
475
00:21:39,304 --> 00:21:42,394
Wow, those girls look like...
476
00:21:42,437 --> 00:21:44,265
Girls?
477
00:21:44,309 --> 00:21:46,006
Bother you?
478
00:21:46,049 --> 00:21:48,922
No. I peaked in high school.
479
00:21:48,965 --> 00:21:51,577
Well, they're just peaking today.
480
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:52,795
They'll do anything you want,
481
00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:55,102
and anything you
haven't even thought of.
482
00:21:57,147 --> 00:22:00,194
May I present Jenna and Hayden.
483
00:22:00,238 --> 00:22:01,500
It's good to see you again.
484
00:22:01,543 --> 00:22:03,241
- Hi.
- And this is Q.
485
00:22:03,284 --> 00:22:05,634
You might recognize
him from the interwebs.
486
00:22:05,678 --> 00:22:08,289
I want to be on that "Teens
Run the World" platform.
487
00:22:08,333 --> 00:22:10,160
Those interviews are cool.
488
00:22:10,204 --> 00:22:13,729
Maybe you two can
be next. Take my info.
489
00:22:16,645 --> 00:22:18,386
Where are you guys coming from?
490
00:22:18,430 --> 00:22:21,650
Jersey. Not too far.
491
00:22:23,348 --> 00:22:25,393
Transporting a minor across state lines
492
00:22:25,437 --> 00:22:27,439
for immoral purposes. That's a felony.
493
00:22:27,482 --> 00:22:29,136
Absolutely.
494
00:22:29,179 --> 00:22:30,616
You know, you two
play your cards right,
495
00:22:30,659 --> 00:22:33,140
and you could be the
next Fiddle and Faddle.
496
00:22:33,183 --> 00:22:35,142
Who's that?
497
00:22:35,185 --> 00:22:37,275
Interns JFK used to frolic with
498
00:22:37,318 --> 00:22:39,189
at the White House pool during lunch.
499
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:40,626
Those are code names.
500
00:22:40,669 --> 00:22:42,584
The White House?
501
00:22:42,628 --> 00:22:43,672
I'll drink to that.
502
00:22:50,244 --> 00:22:52,594
You feeling okay?
503
00:22:52,638 --> 00:22:55,510
If you need to lay down...
504
00:23:12,701 --> 00:23:14,660
Ooh, got you.
505
00:23:14,703 --> 00:23:18,141
I feel funny.
506
00:23:18,185 --> 00:23:19,447
What was in my drink?
507
00:23:19,491 --> 00:23:21,449
That's just bubbles.
508
00:23:21,493 --> 00:23:24,365
Lots and lots of little bubbles.
509
00:23:24,409 --> 00:23:25,714
He roofied her drink.
510
00:23:25,758 --> 00:23:28,500
Assault in the second
degree. Felony number two.
511
00:23:31,198 --> 00:23:33,026
No, wait!
512
00:23:33,069 --> 00:23:34,332
Now we're looking at attempted rape.
513
00:23:34,375 --> 00:23:35,724
- That's all I need.
- We gotta go.
514
00:23:35,768 --> 00:23:37,073
- We gotta stop this.
- Go.
515
00:23:37,117 --> 00:23:39,206
I don't want to do this. No, I...
516
00:23:43,428 --> 00:23:46,126
Go.
517
00:23:47,214 --> 00:23:51,349
NYPD, hands up. Hands up.
518
00:23:55,701 --> 00:23:57,311
- Party's over, Congressman.
- She's of age.
519
00:23:57,355 --> 00:24:00,053
- I did nothing wrong.
- Up against the wall.
520
00:24:00,096 --> 00:24:01,707
Face the wall!
521
00:24:01,750 --> 00:24:03,056
Easy, easy.
522
00:24:03,099 --> 00:24:04,579
Don't do something you'll regret later.
523
00:24:04,623 --> 00:24:06,233
Jenna.
524
00:24:06,276 --> 00:24:07,408
- Jenna.
- What's going on?
525
00:24:07,452 --> 00:24:09,497
You're okay. He's in trouble.
526
00:24:09,541 --> 00:24:10,716
You'll be fine.
527
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:13,588
You good?
528
00:24:19,289 --> 00:24:20,769
The hell is this? You set me up?
529
00:24:20,813 --> 00:24:22,554
Not a word, Q. Lawyer up.
530
00:24:22,597 --> 00:24:23,859
They can't prove a thing.
531
00:24:23,903 --> 00:24:25,078
It was just a dance, I swear to God.
532
00:24:25,121 --> 00:24:27,689
- You can ask her.
- Yeah, just keep talking.
533
00:24:27,733 --> 00:24:29,343
I was invited! He set me up.
534
00:24:29,387 --> 00:24:30,431
Get him out of here.
535
00:24:30,475 --> 00:24:33,565
- He set me up!
- Hey.
536
00:24:33,608 --> 00:24:35,349
All right, guys. Take
off these bracelets.
537
00:24:35,393 --> 00:24:36,524
And make sure you bag those flutes.
538
00:24:36,568 --> 00:24:38,439
The champagne was probably laced.
539
00:24:41,137 --> 00:24:44,532
Oh, sorry, Joe Velasco.
540
00:24:44,576 --> 00:24:46,882
- I'm on the job.
- Nice try.
541
00:24:46,926 --> 00:24:48,580
We didn't know anything about a UC.
542
00:24:48,623 --> 00:24:50,538
Hey, hey, hey, it was a "need to know."
543
00:24:50,582 --> 00:24:53,367
Call Tommy.
544
00:24:53,411 --> 00:24:56,152
Chief McGrath?
545
00:25:05,161 --> 00:25:07,860
Yes, Chief, we're
maintaining your UC's cover.
546
00:25:07,903 --> 00:25:10,819
He's in holding with
Congressman Howard.
547
00:25:11,994 --> 00:25:14,388
I will let them know. You're welcome.
548
00:25:15,998 --> 00:25:18,740
Chief McGrath sends his
thanks to the entire team.
549
00:25:18,784 --> 00:25:21,656
Would have been nice to
know who the entire team was.
550
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:23,179
There's a UC on the job,
551
00:25:23,223 --> 00:25:25,007
McGrath, Garland, don't let us know?
552
00:25:25,051 --> 00:25:28,750
Close the door.
553
00:25:29,795 --> 00:25:32,014
Garland didn't know.
554
00:25:32,058 --> 00:25:35,061
McGrath told me not to tip anyone off.
555
00:25:35,104 --> 00:25:37,759
The UC's name is Joe Velasco.
556
00:25:37,803 --> 00:25:39,718
McGrath's apparently his rabbi.
557
00:25:39,761 --> 00:25:42,242
McGrath doesn't even trust Garland?
558
00:25:42,285 --> 00:25:45,114
That's not good.
559
00:25:45,158 --> 00:25:47,639
How long are we keeping "Q" in holding?
560
00:25:47,682 --> 00:25:49,902
Until Congressman
Howard's lawyer gets here.
561
00:25:49,945 --> 00:25:51,425
I mean, maybe he'll get him talking.
562
00:25:51,469 --> 00:25:53,079
Would that be admissible?
563
00:25:53,122 --> 00:25:55,124
Let's let the lawyers sort it out.
564
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,435
Kat. Okay.
565
00:26:01,479 --> 00:26:03,959
Rollins is on her way to meet you.
566
00:26:04,003 --> 00:26:05,787
They gave Jenna fluids and a sedative.
567
00:26:05,831 --> 00:26:07,397
She's lucid.
568
00:26:07,441 --> 00:26:08,921
All right, we need to make
sure that they run her urine.
569
00:26:08,964 --> 00:26:10,052
Is her family there?
570
00:26:10,096 --> 00:26:11,663
The mother's on her way from Jersey.
571
00:26:11,706 --> 00:26:13,012
Talk to Jenna before she gets there.
572
00:26:13,055 --> 00:26:14,840
I'll have Carisi get a
warrant for her phone.
573
00:26:17,886 --> 00:26:19,758
Captain?
574
00:26:19,801 --> 00:26:21,629
- Yes.
- Howard's lawyer is here.
575
00:26:21,673 --> 00:26:22,804
He says he'll only talk to you.
576
00:26:22,848 --> 00:26:25,851
Put him in Interrogation.
577
00:26:29,202 --> 00:26:31,987
So, what'd the doctor
say about your ankle?
578
00:26:34,816 --> 00:26:36,818
It's fractured.
579
00:26:36,862 --> 00:26:40,300
He had to reset it,
and that was... crunchy.
580
00:26:41,475 --> 00:26:43,433
It's too swollen for
them to do surgery on it.
581
00:26:43,477 --> 00:26:44,652
And that's why you should go home.
582
00:26:44,696 --> 00:26:45,871
I can handle this.
583
00:26:45,914 --> 00:26:47,350
I know you can, Fin.
584
00:26:47,394 --> 00:26:48,830
But I can't tell McGrath
585
00:26:48,874 --> 00:26:50,876
that I have a sitting
Congressman in holding
586
00:26:50,919 --> 00:26:53,269
and I need a sick day.
587
00:26:57,404 --> 00:26:59,362
Hey! What's the big deal?
588
00:26:59,406 --> 00:27:01,277
- We were just partying.
- I'll ask again.
589
00:27:01,321 --> 00:27:02,757
You need me to get you a lawyer?
590
00:27:02,801 --> 00:27:06,021
I got one. And this won't stick.
591
00:27:06,065 --> 00:27:07,806
If the girls brought the drugs.
592
00:27:07,849 --> 00:27:10,286
Two phone calls from
you, we're out of here!
593
00:27:10,330 --> 00:27:11,853
Compadre, listen.
594
00:27:11,897 --> 00:27:13,376
These guys are looking to take me out.
595
00:27:13,420 --> 00:27:15,204
Don't say anything.
596
00:27:15,248 --> 00:27:17,772
There's nothing to say.
597
00:27:17,816 --> 00:27:20,427
Congressman, your lawyer's here.
598
00:27:25,345 --> 00:27:26,825
Hey. Hey!
599
00:27:26,868 --> 00:27:28,870
- I still need to make a call.
- I'll be back.
600
00:27:30,089 --> 00:27:31,743
Ahh, Sarge, Sarge, Sarge.
601
00:27:31,786 --> 00:27:32,874
Can't you put me somewhere else?
602
00:27:32,918 --> 00:27:34,876
Sorry.
603
00:27:38,116 --> 00:27:40,176
_
604
00:27:40,273 --> 00:27:42,710
You called my parents
without asking me?
605
00:27:42,754 --> 00:27:44,059
You're 16, Jenna.
606
00:27:44,103 --> 00:27:45,670
I wasn't doing anything.
607
00:27:45,713 --> 00:27:49,412
You had Rohypnol, alcohol,
pot, and MDMA in your system.
608
00:27:49,456 --> 00:27:51,937
I don't do Ecstasy.
609
00:27:51,980 --> 00:27:54,243
All I take is Addy. I bought it online.
610
00:27:54,287 --> 00:27:55,810
I have ADHD.
611
00:27:55,854 --> 00:27:58,726
So how do you know Congressman Howard?
612
00:27:58,770 --> 00:28:01,076
I met him on a class trip to D.C.
613
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:03,252
He took photos with all of us.
614
00:28:03,296 --> 00:28:07,213
He asked for my number
to text me the pictures.
615
00:28:07,256 --> 00:28:08,518
He follows me on Insta.
616
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:10,520
Did you live in his district?
617
00:28:10,564 --> 00:28:12,348
No, I'm from Bayonne.
618
00:28:12,392 --> 00:28:15,090
I told him I was
interested in politics,
619
00:28:15,134 --> 00:28:16,744
solving climate change.
620
00:28:16,788 --> 00:28:18,920
He said he could get me an internship.
621
00:28:18,964 --> 00:28:22,445
How often did you see him?
622
00:28:22,489 --> 00:28:25,361
Mostly in the summer.
623
00:28:25,405 --> 00:28:28,843
He'd send a car service.
Parties at his house.
624
00:28:28,887 --> 00:28:31,280
He had a Fourth of
July party on a yacht.
625
00:28:31,324 --> 00:28:33,413
Did he ever get physical with you?
626
00:28:33,456 --> 00:28:36,546
- What do you mean?
- You know what we mean.
627
00:28:36,590 --> 00:28:39,854
Jenna, you are not
in any trouble, okay?
628
00:28:39,898 --> 00:28:41,595
Whatever happened, that's on him.
629
00:28:41,639 --> 00:28:45,033
Nothing happened.
630
00:28:45,077 --> 00:28:46,252
He drugged you.
631
00:28:46,295 --> 00:28:48,994
He took you back to his bedroom.
632
00:28:49,037 --> 00:28:50,473
Have you two ever had sex?
633
00:28:50,517 --> 00:28:53,781
Not "sex" sex.
634
00:28:53,825 --> 00:28:55,783
I give him massages.
635
00:28:55,827 --> 00:28:58,873
That's not illegal. He told me so.
636
00:28:58,917 --> 00:29:01,441
He went to law school.
637
00:29:01,484 --> 00:29:03,182
You guys had your fun.
638
00:29:03,225 --> 00:29:05,532
Keeping my client, a
United States congressman,
639
00:29:05,575 --> 00:29:07,055
in a holding cell overnight?
640
00:29:07,099 --> 00:29:10,102
- He's under arrest, Mr. Gold.
- On what probable cause?
641
00:29:10,145 --> 00:29:12,365
Well, the girl that he
drugged and put in his bed,
642
00:29:12,408 --> 00:29:13,845
she was 16 years old.
643
00:29:13,888 --> 00:29:16,325
First of all, anything she
took must have been hers.
644
00:29:16,369 --> 00:29:18,414
And her vaccination
card said she was 18.
645
00:29:18,458 --> 00:29:20,068
Come on, as a lawyer,
you gotta know that
646
00:29:20,112 --> 00:29:22,505
- that's no excuse.
- Nothing happened.
647
00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:25,334
She must have taken
something. She seemed dizzy.
648
00:29:25,378 --> 00:29:27,293
I helped her lie down,
administered CPR...
649
00:29:27,336 --> 00:29:29,512
- With your pants unzipped.
- Let's just stop right here.
650
00:29:29,556 --> 00:29:31,906
Do you always party with teenage girls
651
00:29:31,950 --> 00:29:33,255
after a fundraiser?
652
00:29:33,299 --> 00:29:36,084
My client is single. He
has a spotless record.
653
00:29:36,128 --> 00:29:37,912
We all know this is
a political witch hunt.
654
00:29:37,956 --> 00:29:41,046
All right, let's move
on from the girl, then.
655
00:29:41,089 --> 00:29:43,483
You're a regular visitor at
the Holt Tower apartments
656
00:29:43,526 --> 00:29:45,093
in Manhattan.
657
00:29:45,137 --> 00:29:46,573
Yes, I am. My mother has a pied-� terre
658
00:29:46,616 --> 00:29:47,617
overlooking the park.
659
00:29:47,661 --> 00:29:51,404
Okay. So which one of these
660
00:29:51,447 --> 00:29:53,362
is your mother?
661
00:29:53,406 --> 00:29:54,407
I don't know any of these women.
662
00:29:54,450 --> 00:29:57,366
Really? Because they know you.
663
00:29:57,410 --> 00:29:59,455
And we have security
footage of you on their floor.
664
00:29:59,499 --> 00:30:01,153
So can you explain that to me, please?
665
00:30:01,196 --> 00:30:04,199
Due diligence. Inspecting
their apartments.
666
00:30:04,243 --> 00:30:06,332
Part of my duty as a member
of the housing sub-committee.
667
00:30:06,375 --> 00:30:09,901
Enough, Justin, this is a
goddamn fishing expedition.
668
00:30:09,944 --> 00:30:12,904
I understand it's every ADA's wet dream
669
00:30:12,947 --> 00:30:15,123
to take down a presidential contender,
670
00:30:15,167 --> 00:30:16,385
but we're done.
671
00:30:16,429 --> 00:30:18,126
Hey, actually, one more question.
672
00:30:18,170 --> 00:30:20,999
Who put you up to
this? My party or theirs?
673
00:30:21,042 --> 00:30:24,480
Oh, nobody us up to
this. You see, we're SVU.
674
00:30:24,524 --> 00:30:28,267
You're a sexual predator.
So guess what happens next?
675
00:30:29,963 --> 00:30:32,167
_
676
00:30:32,184 --> 00:30:33,446
Congressman Howard.
677
00:30:33,489 --> 00:30:36,275
On the charges of
sex trafficking, rape 3,
678
00:30:36,318 --> 00:30:39,191
facilitating a sex offense
with a controlled substance,
679
00:30:39,234 --> 00:30:41,584
and attempted rape, how do you plead?
680
00:30:41,628 --> 00:30:44,370
Not guilty, Your Honor.
As I've said repeatedly,
681
00:30:44,413 --> 00:30:47,547
this is a political move by
the NYPD and the DA's office.
682
00:30:47,590 --> 00:30:49,984
Not the time nor the place, Counselor.
683
00:30:50,028 --> 00:30:52,378
- People on bail?
- We ask for remand.
684
00:30:52,421 --> 00:30:54,554
Remand? For a sitting congressman?
685
00:30:54,597 --> 00:30:56,730
He has an obligation
to his constituents.
686
00:30:56,774 --> 00:30:58,384
He's looking at 20 years in prison.
687
00:30:58,427 --> 00:31:01,126
If it will help you sleep
better, Counselor Carisi,
688
00:31:01,169 --> 00:31:04,738
I'll ask the congressman
to surrender his passport.
689
00:31:10,048 --> 00:31:12,964
Uh, ten seconds, folks.
690
00:31:13,007 --> 00:31:15,444
Chief. Garland's not here yet.
691
00:31:15,488 --> 00:31:17,272
Well, maybe that's for the best.
692
00:31:17,316 --> 00:31:18,621
We don't need any questions
about his relationship
693
00:31:18,665 --> 00:31:19,971
with Catalina Machado.
694
00:31:20,014 --> 00:31:21,450
Okay, Chief.
695
00:31:24,410 --> 00:31:25,759
Good afternoon.
696
00:31:25,803 --> 00:31:29,110
I'm joined by Captain
Benson of SVU, ADA Carisi,
697
00:31:29,154 --> 00:31:31,634
and attorneys from the SDNY.
698
00:31:31,678 --> 00:31:33,332
After an exhaustive investigation,
699
00:31:33,375 --> 00:31:34,724
today we announce the arrests
700
00:31:34,768 --> 00:31:37,640
of Proud Life director
Dr. Catalina Machado,
701
00:31:37,684 --> 00:31:39,947
congressional aide Ruben Ortiz,
702
00:31:39,991 --> 00:31:43,777
and New York state congressman
George Justin Howard,
703
00:31:43,821 --> 00:31:46,606
who, along with other
unnamed co-defendants,
704
00:31:46,649 --> 00:31:48,651
will be charged with sexual assault
705
00:31:48,695 --> 00:31:50,175
and sex trafficking.
706
00:31:50,218 --> 00:31:51,567
- Celia?
- We know that there are
707
00:31:51,611 --> 00:31:53,439
more victims out there
708
00:31:53,482 --> 00:31:55,484
who were given subsidized housing...
709
00:31:55,528 --> 00:31:57,791
Why isn't this on my schedule?
710
00:31:57,835 --> 00:32:01,099
We are asking you to come forward.
711
00:32:01,142 --> 00:32:03,231
I'm sorry, I didn't know.
712
00:32:03,275 --> 00:32:06,060
- No one notified you?
- No.
713
00:32:06,104 --> 00:32:08,454
Are you... are you sure
you didn't miss an email?
714
00:32:08,497 --> 00:32:10,804
- We are convening...
- I'll check.
715
00:32:10,848 --> 00:32:13,024
Maybe it went to spam.
716
00:32:13,067 --> 00:32:14,329
Should I call McGrath's office?
717
00:32:14,373 --> 00:32:17,680
No. Thank you, Celia.
718
00:32:17,724 --> 00:32:21,075
To uphold the public trust. Thank you.
719
00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:25,471
Okay, um, we can take
some questions, if you like.
720
00:32:40,268 --> 00:32:43,576
Mm. Chief.
721
00:32:43,619 --> 00:32:45,621
Good morning. How are you feeling?
722
00:32:45,665 --> 00:32:47,536
I'll live.
723
00:32:47,580 --> 00:32:49,016
Listen...
724
00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:50,888
about the press conference.
725
00:32:50,931 --> 00:32:52,150
I never would have gone
726
00:32:52,193 --> 00:32:53,629
if I knew that you weren't coming.
727
00:32:53,673 --> 00:32:55,675
All good. I spoke to McGrath.
728
00:32:55,718 --> 00:32:56,937
You did?
729
00:32:56,981 --> 00:32:59,244
He was surprised I wasn't there, too.
730
00:32:59,287 --> 00:33:00,985
He apologized.
731
00:33:01,028 --> 00:33:04,031
Must have been a
communication error from his office.
732
00:33:04,075 --> 00:33:05,772
Things are moving pretty fast.
733
00:33:05,815 --> 00:33:07,905
He said that's probably
why he didn't tell me
734
00:33:07,948 --> 00:33:10,820
we had a UC at the fundraiser.
735
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:13,693
He said that?
736
00:33:14,912 --> 00:33:19,177
That's, uh, not exactly what happened.
737
00:33:19,220 --> 00:33:21,092
Water under the bridge.
738
00:33:21,135 --> 00:33:22,832
We play this right,
739
00:33:22,876 --> 00:33:25,096
plenty of attaboys for everybody.
740
00:33:25,139 --> 00:33:27,185
How close are we to an indictment?
741
00:33:27,228 --> 00:33:29,970
Well, we're prepping
Catalina and Ortiz today
742
00:33:30,014 --> 00:33:31,624
for the grand jury tomorrow.
743
00:33:31,667 --> 00:33:33,756
We trust Catalina?
744
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,152
She's looking at 20 to life
if she doesn't cooperate.
745
00:33:38,196 --> 00:33:39,675
I'm still trying to wrap my head around
746
00:33:39,719 --> 00:33:41,590
somebody who's done so much good,
747
00:33:41,634 --> 00:33:43,810
yet she got caught up in this.
748
00:33:43,853 --> 00:33:47,988
Chief... she didn't get "caught up."
749
00:33:48,032 --> 00:33:50,686
She orchestrated it.
750
00:33:50,730 --> 00:33:52,210
I know, I know.
751
00:33:52,253 --> 00:33:54,603
I was having a conversation
with my wife last night,
752
00:33:54,647 --> 00:33:57,998
talking about my own blind spots.
753
00:33:58,042 --> 00:34:00,827
Well, we all have them.
754
00:34:07,051 --> 00:34:09,836
If I haven't made it clear,
755
00:34:09,879 --> 00:34:13,361
I appreciate you
pointing them out for me.
756
00:34:13,405 --> 00:34:15,581
And for having my back?
757
00:34:15,624 --> 00:34:17,235
Always.
758
00:34:17,236 --> 00:34:28,985
_
759
00:34:28,986 --> 00:34:31,945
Congressman Howard
invited me to his suite to party.
760
00:34:31,989 --> 00:34:35,340
He said, some men like
melons, some men like mangoes.
761
00:34:35,383 --> 00:34:38,125
He told me he likes cherries.
762
00:34:39,822 --> 00:34:42,260
Hey, I'm sorry. That's
the way he talks.
763
00:34:42,303 --> 00:34:45,002
So you get to his
suite, and who's there?
764
00:34:46,351 --> 00:34:49,397
He asked me to make
sure that two former interns,
765
00:34:49,441 --> 00:34:53,619
Jenna Evans and Hayden
Smith, were in the suite.
766
00:34:53,662 --> 00:34:55,142
Do you remember what you told him?
767
00:34:55,186 --> 00:34:58,145
I reminded him that they
were still in high school.
768
00:34:59,712 --> 00:35:02,889
He told me, just make
sure they have IDs.
769
00:35:02,932 --> 00:35:05,065
Did Congressman Howard
ever express any interest
770
00:35:05,109 --> 00:35:07,850
in high school girls before?
771
00:35:07,894 --> 00:35:10,288
That's when Congressman
Howard told me he was tired
772
00:35:10,331 --> 00:35:11,854
of the young mothers.
773
00:35:11,898 --> 00:35:14,118
He asked me to find apartments
774
00:35:14,161 --> 00:35:15,641
for mothers with teenage daughters.
775
00:35:15,684 --> 00:35:17,425
And you took that to mean...
776
00:35:17,469 --> 00:35:19,688
That I was to find homeless women
777
00:35:19,732 --> 00:35:21,821
whose daughters would have sex with him
778
00:35:21,864 --> 00:35:23,823
in exchange for subsidized apartments.
779
00:35:23,866 --> 00:35:27,174
And that was a clear quid pro quo?
780
00:35:27,218 --> 00:35:29,220
Ortiz said he was bringing his boss,
781
00:35:29,263 --> 00:35:31,874
Congressman Howard, to Holt Tower.
782
00:35:31,918 --> 00:35:33,833
He expected the VIP treatment.
783
00:35:33,876 --> 00:35:35,835
What did he mean by that?
784
00:35:35,878 --> 00:35:37,880
Look, I'm not gonna
say he did anything.
785
00:35:37,924 --> 00:35:40,144
That's okay, Jenna.
786
00:35:40,187 --> 00:35:43,016
We'll just ask you to tell
the grand jury your age.
787
00:35:43,060 --> 00:35:44,757
I'm almost 17.
788
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,194
And you went to the
hotel bedroom with Howard
789
00:35:47,238 --> 00:35:48,717
after he gave you a drink.
790
00:35:49,805 --> 00:35:53,200
I had to let him do
whatever he wanted to me.
791
00:35:53,244 --> 00:35:56,421
On my knees.
792
00:35:56,464 --> 00:35:59,772
Forcing me.
793
00:35:59,815 --> 00:36:02,166
And then he turned me over.
794
00:36:04,907 --> 00:36:08,694
It hurt. But I couldn't scream,
795
00:36:08,737 --> 00:36:12,437
because my son was in the next room.
796
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,134
How often did he come
797
00:36:14,178 --> 00:36:16,876
to your apartment in Holt Towers, Rosa?
798
00:36:16,919 --> 00:36:20,749
Two or three times a week.
799
00:36:20,793 --> 00:36:23,448
He told me his mother
lived in the building
800
00:36:23,491 --> 00:36:27,016
and he could come over
whenever he wanted to.
801
00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:29,367
And if I didn't submit to him,
802
00:36:29,410 --> 00:36:31,456
that he would tell Catalina
803
00:36:31,499 --> 00:36:34,415
to send me back to the shelter.
804
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,071
Thank you, Rosa.
805
00:36:40,291 --> 00:36:43,076
I'm days away from launching
my political action committee.
806
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,078
No one's gonna believe these "victims."
807
00:36:45,122 --> 00:36:46,210
A grand jury will.
808
00:36:46,253 --> 00:36:48,125
They'll believe these homeless women
809
00:36:48,168 --> 00:36:49,474
who get to keep their free apartments
810
00:36:49,517 --> 00:36:51,171
- if they testify?
- Or Catalina?
811
00:36:51,215 --> 00:36:52,955
She's lying to save her own ass.
812
00:36:52,999 --> 00:36:55,088
She's been robbing
Proud Life blind for years.
813
00:36:55,132 --> 00:36:56,394
So you knew that,
814
00:36:56,437 --> 00:36:57,917
and yet you still asked
her to introduce you
815
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,136
at your fundraiser.
816
00:36:59,179 --> 00:37:01,529
Let's not litigate who knew what when.
817
00:37:01,573 --> 00:37:04,228
My client is willing to
testify that Catalina offered
818
00:37:04,271 --> 00:37:05,925
to bribe him with sexual favors
819
00:37:05,968 --> 00:37:07,535
in exchange for supporting Proud Life.
820
00:37:07,579 --> 00:37:09,972
Not sexual favors.
They're called rapes.
821
00:37:10,016 --> 00:37:12,192
Or these women are grifters.
822
00:37:12,236 --> 00:37:14,238
The only reason the
congressman went to Holt Tower
823
00:37:14,281 --> 00:37:15,848
was to visit his mother.
824
00:37:15,891 --> 00:37:17,066
And she'll make a better witness
825
00:37:17,110 --> 00:37:19,373
than your rapist
handyman or Dr. Machado.
826
00:37:19,417 --> 00:37:21,810
Look, you asked for this meeting.
827
00:37:21,854 --> 00:37:24,422
So, you know, any deal offered
means he goes on the registry,
828
00:37:24,465 --> 00:37:26,206
and he does prison time.
829
00:37:26,250 --> 00:37:28,165
I'm not going to prison.
830
00:37:28,208 --> 00:37:29,427
I'm gonna be president.
831
00:37:29,470 --> 00:37:32,299
You know, I've seen
a lot of powerful men
832
00:37:32,343 --> 00:37:35,128
in this position, and they all thought
833
00:37:35,172 --> 00:37:37,217
that they could commit
crimes with impunity.
834
00:37:37,261 --> 00:37:38,958
I'm going to be president,
835
00:37:39,001 --> 00:37:42,004
and I will not let a
politically-motivated ADA
836
00:37:42,048 --> 00:37:44,137
and a bitter woman
cop who's spent her life
837
00:37:44,181 --> 00:37:45,834
getting back at men take me down.
838
00:37:45,878 --> 00:37:47,923
- Justin...
- No, don't Justin me, Myron.
839
00:37:47,967 --> 00:37:49,490
Tell them. Tell them.
840
00:37:49,534 --> 00:37:50,970
Tell them who they're dealing with.
841
00:37:51,013 --> 00:37:52,493
We're well aware who
you are, Mr. Howard.
842
00:37:52,537 --> 00:37:54,060
Are you?
843
00:37:54,103 --> 00:37:55,975
Then you know this man
right here makes two calls,
844
00:37:56,018 --> 00:37:59,892
and you're gone, like
that, from the ADA's office.
845
00:37:59,935 --> 00:38:01,241
And you,
846
00:38:01,285 --> 00:38:02,982
you're on traffic duty in Staten Island
847
00:38:03,025 --> 00:38:04,549
- with your old boss.
- Excuse me?
848
00:38:04,592 --> 00:38:07,508
I need a moment with my client.
849
00:38:07,552 --> 00:38:10,946
Good luck.
850
00:38:10,990 --> 00:38:12,426
You should have kept your pants zipped.
851
00:38:12,470 --> 00:38:13,906
Now you need to keep your mouth shut.
852
00:38:13,949 --> 00:38:15,168
I'm not going down for this, Myron.
853
00:38:15,212 --> 00:38:16,256
Not another word.
854
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:17,997
You need to make this go away.
855
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,869
Shut up, you idiot.
856
00:38:21,609 --> 00:38:23,176
Should we break this up?
857
00:38:23,220 --> 00:38:24,264
It's a private conversation.
858
00:38:24,308 --> 00:38:26,397
We didn't see or hear any of this.
859
00:38:29,095 --> 00:38:30,183
I know you're gonna say no,
860
00:38:30,227 --> 00:38:32,185
but we're in good shape.
861
00:38:32,229 --> 00:38:34,143
Can you take a break?
862
00:38:40,889 --> 00:38:42,239
You know what?
863
00:38:42,282 --> 00:38:44,937
You're right.
864
00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:47,287
Let me, uh...
865
00:38:47,331 --> 00:38:50,334
let me take you to dinner.
866
00:38:50,377 --> 00:38:51,552
Seriously? You?
867
00:38:51,596 --> 00:38:52,988
The night before your grand jury?
868
00:38:53,032 --> 00:38:56,296
Well, I got a UC, I got two informants,
869
00:38:56,340 --> 00:38:57,993
wires, cameras...
870
00:38:58,037 --> 00:38:59,212
Congressman Howard doesn't know it yet,
871
00:38:59,256 --> 00:39:01,127
but he's a dead man walking.
872
00:39:01,170 --> 00:39:03,521
Let's go. Yeah.
873
00:39:13,357 --> 00:39:15,663
- Rollins.
- Carisi.
874
00:39:49,654 --> 00:39:51,569
Guys. Please, come on!
875
00:39:51,612 --> 00:39:53,397
You don't have to do this.
Please, I'm begging you.
876
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,442
Please, no! No, no, no...
877
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:17,595
Hello? Hello!
878
00:40:17,638 --> 00:40:21,381
Stop calling me. Stop calling me.
879
00:40:43,316 --> 00:40:46,145
Mijo. Mijo, wake up!
880
00:40:46,188 --> 00:40:47,189
- Wake up, come on.
- Ma...
881
00:40:47,233 --> 00:40:50,279
We gotta go. Get out of bed.
882
00:40:52,238 --> 00:40:53,674
We're checking security cam footage,
883
00:40:53,718 --> 00:40:58,418
but passersby claim that
they saw Catalina jump.
884
00:40:58,462 --> 00:41:01,421
Find Rosa and find Jenna now.
885
