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.

He robbed me.
Guy came in to rob me.

Take it easy, take it easy.
Did you see where he went?

Cops chased him
into the alley.

Get back inside!
Get down!

Police!
Drop it or you're dead. Now!

Bailey! Taylor!

Where are you guys?

Over here! We got him.

Two-two-Henry. Slow everyone
down. We got one under.

Anyone hit?

Just this mutt.
Winged him in the arm.

Bus is on the way.
Here's his piece.

Hey, guys, you better
check this out.

What?

Oh, man.

She's dead.

Police, coming through.
Thank you.

Hey.

Kind of strange, Cragen calling us
in on an officer-involved shooting.

Maybe not. Look who's over there.

Swell.

Stabler, Benson,
thanks for coming.

Yeah. It's the middle of the night.
I hope you're not jerking us around.

I'm not.

I've got a black female
teenager, sleeping on the streets.

We think she's a runaway,
then somebody worked her over.

Burn marks, both arms.

Braids, ribbon in her hair,
covered by a pretty decent blanket.

Yeah, and a big hole
in her head.

Not your average
homeless kid.

Maybe not, but she's an abuse victim.

We think the perp
shot her.

No, you think the cops
accidentally shot her,

and you're trying to pull us into your
own mess by calling it an SVU case.

This girl was tortured and
we have no idea who she is.

You want her parents to see
her face in the morning news?

That's your problem,
not ours.

Come on, SVU knows how to protect
victims and deal with families.

You mean you want us
to keep this under wraps.

We want this to look clean
from the beginning.

So I'm asking
for a favor.

All the times that you
people at IAB jammed us up

and now you
want to play nice?

You've got a set of balls
on you asking us for anything.

If we find out that
a cop shot that girl,

you expect us
to keep it quiet?

I expect you
to do your job.

However this turns out,
it turns out.

You don't want to
do it for me, fine.

Do it for her.

Found seven slugs,

all of them too badly damaged
for any microscopic work.

Shell casings?

Had better luck there.
Matched them to each weapon.

Well, they were all carrying nines,
so the casings would have gone

about 10 feet to the right
and a little to the rear.

So we know approximately
where each person fired from.

Number one
is Officer Bailey,

two is the perp and Officer
Taylor is number three.

The bullet passed through this
steel drum before hitting the victim,

making a trajectory
through two fixed points.

The ballistic alignment laser
will tell us for sure who shot her.

They all fired on the run, so it
could have been any one of them.

And there's
our bullet path.

Hal, you be Officer Taylor. Benson, you
take Bailey. Stabler, you're the perp.

We'll see where
the laser lands.

El, it's on you.

The perp fired the shot
that killed the girl.

Only problem is, your Jane Doe was
already dead when the perp shot her.

That son-of-a-bitch
lucked out.

The cops at the scene
said she was still warm.

So did my assistants.

But by the time
they got her back here,

her lower extremities
were already stiff.

She was going into rigor.

Well, she had to be dead four or
five hours before the shooting, then.

That's about right.

Do you know
what killed her?

Hopefully we'll find out
when I open her up.

But she was filthy, like
she hadn't bathed in weeks.

I have her personal effects
to put into evidence.

Anything good?

Just some cheap clothes from one
of your better discount stores.

And this necklace.

That's an infinity
symbol on a chain.

What's up
with these burns?

That's what they look like, but
they're actually cockroach bites.

Well, if she was homeless,

she could have gotten them from
living on the street or after she died.

Except the bites wouldn't
swell if she was dead.

And the roaches wouldn't bite
unless she was immobile.

You're thinking
she was restrained?

Or so sick
she couldn't move.

It sounds like this girl was held
captive in a very unpleasant place.

And then dumped at the scene.

Lab checked the ground
where the girl was found.

No evidence of
any bodily fluids.

So, if she was already dead, the
new blanket is a care-giving gesture.

The same reason as the hair ribbons.
Whoever left her there loved her.

We've got an ID.

And you're not
gonna believe it.

Who is she?
Samantha Tassler.

The girl who
disappeared from Philly?

Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania, to be exact.

Less than
eight months ago.

Didn't we spend, like, two weeks
last year searching for her?

Maybe three. Are they sure it's her?

Cops there say our
photo matches theirs.

The parents are
coming in tonight.

Her friend's older brother
was supposed to drive her home.

We called when it got late and
Samantha hadn't come back yet.

That's when we find
out she never got there.

We have some of Samantha's
personal effects when she was found.

It would help us if you could take
a look at them. Are you up for that?

I ain't never
seen this.

I don't recognize
this necklace, either.

Sharon, did you buy
this for Samantha?

No.

Are you sure that she didn't
have this one when she was home?

Positive.

You found her on the street. I'm
surprised she still had this necklace.

It's solid platinum. It's
probably worth close to a grand.

The girl's wearing dime store
clothes and living on the street.

It doesn't make sense she wouldn't
have sold this for food money.

You have any idea
where this came from?

You're not going to find it in a case at
Tiffany's or any other mainstream retailer.

Here, have a look.

I don't notice anything
unusual about it.

The X-ray
fluorescence test did.

It's coated in rhodium
to make it shine

instead of the regular
polishing and finishing.

That hasn't been popular
in this country in decades.

So? So, it's definitely handmade.

And there are three tiny
initials engraved on the back.

I just put it
in our database.

What are you
checking?

Every jeweler in the Tri-State who makes
his own jewelry with the three initials RSC.

Any hits?

Yeah, here we go.

Ross St. Clair. Got a little
shop down in the Village.

No, I don't
remember her.

I don't get a lot of
teenagers in my store.

My jewelry's
too expensive.

What about this? How much does
something like this run you?

Eight hundred bucks.
It's custom-made.

Something happen to her?

Actually,
she's dead.

Geez. And she was
wearing my Infinity?

That's why we're here.
Who'd you make it for?

Garret Lang.

Who's he?
Regular customer.

He sent his assistant
over with a drawing.

Come on.

You know, I usually
make my own stuff,

but this guy, he orders a hundred of them.

Gave me 80 grand
up front.

Where can we
find this Lang?

He left me a stack of business cards to
hand out to my better-paying customers.

It's the symbol
of eternal life.

I give the necklace
to all my patients.

At $800 a piece,
that's an expensive gift.

What exactly do you
treat them for?

You're what, early 40s, right, Detective?

Late 30s, why?

Do you ever feel that
your stamina's declining?

That you don't have the energy you
used to or that you've lost your edge?

No, but let's say
that I was.

Well, then,
I would put you on a course

of human growth hormone
and testosterone therapy.

I guarantee you'd be a new man in the
squad room, not to mention the bedroom.

But you didn't come here
to hear me pontificate.

How can I help you?

You ever seen her?

I don't think so.

Well, are you sure that she's
not one of your patients?

Human growth hormone is used to treat
children of short stature, Detectives,

but that's not what I do here
and I don't treat children.

Well, what about
Dr. Foy?

There is no Dr. Foy. It
stands for Fountain of Youth.

Why would you think that
I would know your victim?

Well, because when she was found, your
infinity symbol was hanging around her neck.

My God.
What happened?

That's what we're
trying to find out.

My patients who
wear the necklace

tell me that people often ask
them where they can get one.

Any chance we can get
a list of those patients?

Detectives, you know
that it would be unethical

as well as illegal for me
to give you that information.

Lang's summa cum laude from
Stanford, MD and PhD from Yale,

residency in OBGIGYN
with a fellowship

in infertility and
reproductive endocrinology.

That's big credentials to be
running some feel-good clinic.

He was one of the top
researchers in his field

until he left academia
to open up shop.

Guy's had lots of magazine
articles written about him.

Claims hormones can
reverse the aging process.

The guy's a chick magnet
for the society set.

Sounds like the lunatic
fringe of medicine.

Well, it makes you feel good.
What's wrong with that?

That's the same excuse
people use to get high.

The doc's nothing more
than a dealer with a license.

What he's doing
is perfectly legal.

Don't tell me you're thinking
about taking this stuff?

I've considered it. And why
shouldn't I add some lean muscle

to what you so lovingly call "my bony ass"?

You can hit a gym when we close this
case. Otherwise, everybody, focus.

I mean, what's Lang looking
for in a 14-year-old girl?

If he's a pedophile, maybe
his own fountain of youth.

Well, there's nothing other than that
infinity necklace to tie him to Samantha.

And there's no way to prove that she
didn't get it from one of his patients.

And we can't find
out who they are.

What about the autopsy?

It's backlogged. Internal
exam's not done yet.

Well, then, wait at the
M.E.'s office until it is.

I found traces of facial tissue
and dried saliva on her right cheek,

which we're testing for DNA.

So it sounds like somebody
was with her before she died.

Can we rule this
a homicide yet?

I need more
information.

But I can tell you that Samantha
died of a blood clot to her left lung.

Caused by?

Severe dehydration.

I'd say she was deprived of fluids
for between five and 10 days.

Turned her blood to sludge.

Well, it supports the theory
that somebody locked her away.

That's probably where she
got those cockroach bites.

That makes sense.

What I found when I examined
her reproductive organs doesn't.

How so?

When a woman goes through
her menstrual cycle,

one, maybe two eggs
are released,

leaving the follicles where
the eggs came from empty.

And something was wrong
with Samantha's ovaries?

She had 12 visibly
involuted follicles.

That means 12 eggs all
released at the same time.

I've never seen that
in a 14-year-old.

But I thought women were most
fertile in their teenage years.

Usually this only happens when the
ovaries are hyperstimulated by hormones,

like, for in vitro
fertilization.

So, assuming that
she even wanted to,

why does a 14-year-old girl
need help getting pregnant?

I don't know. But whatever
the reason, it worked.

Samantha was carrying
an eight-week-old fetus.

You can't prove Samantha
Tassler even knew Garret Lang.

She was wearing
his necklace.

A trinket she could have gotten
anywhere does not help me.

The guy's an infertility specialist,
he's a big wheel in hormone research.

Now, can you think of a better
candidate to help Samantha get pregnant?

I wouldn't want to
argue that in court.

Alex, we know that
it's circumstantial,

but this guy had to have something
to do with Samantha's death.

I cannot get an arrest
warrant based on supposition.

You have to find
me a direct link.

So give us something
that we can work with,

subpoenas for his financials,
phone records and a patient list.

No judge is going to give us a
look at a doctor's patient list.

But the rest is doable.

I can also get you
a look at his IRS records.

This guy doesn't have one
phone listed in his own name.

All under the corporation,
Infinity Partners.

This is gonna take a week to trace who
made all these calls to and from his clinic.

That voodoo medicine
he practices pays big bucks.

Between his personal and corporate
accounts, he's got almost five mil cash.

His real estate holdings are
worth at least five times that.

He owns his building
and three brownstones

and get this, he's applying for
tax-exempt status on one of them.

Let me see that.

What's he claiming?

Charitable organization.

"Foundation for
Knowledge Expansion."

Application says
it's a non-profit

educational enrichment program
for young women at risk.

Where?

Chelsea.

I wonder if he's enriching
these girls like he did Samantha.

There's three more girls.

They don't look like your
typical street kids at risk.

That makes four
going in so far.

And there's
another one.

Just like
all the others.

I've seen
that girl before.

Her face look
familiar to you?

Yeah. That girl from the
posters on the Upper East Side.

You shorten her hair and you change it
back to dark brown, that's Jessica Morse.

Disappeared about the same time
as Samantha, presumed kidnapped.

What the hell
did we step into?

Can I help you?
Police department.

I... I didn't call the
police. Where's Jessica Morse?

I don't know who
you're talking about.

She just walked in here.
Step aside.

Excuse me, please! You can't do
this. You have no right to do this.

We have every right. This is a girl
who's been missing since last year.

Elliot.
What is this?

This is my school. I am a licensed
teacher. These are my students.

How did they
get here?

I find them on the streets.
We run a foundation.

For knowledge expansion. Yeah, we
know all about that. Who are you?

I'm Paula Haggerty.

We give them a safe place to live, we
give them food, we give them education.

And these kids are going
back to their parents.

Mrs. Haggerty,
you're under arrest.

Is this really
necessary?

Oh, that's a nice tattoo you have here
on your left wrist. An infinity symbol.

For infinite potential.

I would like to call
a lawyer, please.

You can do that
at our precinct.

Can I talk
to you a minute?

Why?

"Why"? Because you look a lot like
a girl who disappeared last year.

I'm not who you
think I am.

Jessica, your family
wants you back.

My name is Marjorie
and this is my family.

My client should be lauded for
what she's done, not arrested.

Your client kept
five 14-year-olds

whose parents reported them
as kidnapped or runaways.

I was just trying
to help them.

They left home because their
parents mistreated them.

And you know this how?

Mrs. Haggerty has a master's
in child psychology.

Well, then, she understands that just
because a teenager disagrees with her parents

doesn't mean the parents
did something wrong.

Who pays your salary,
Mrs. Haggerty?

The foundation's
board of directors.

The funds come from
charitable contributions.

Well, Dr. Garrett Lang owns the
building. So he on the board, too?

No. He started the foundation and
provided the initial endowment.

But he has no other dealings with the
foundation or the employees or clients.

Was she one of your clients,
Mrs. Haggerty?

I never saw
this girl before.

I'd like to know what charges,
if any, are forthcoming?

Let's start
with kidnapping.

Can I get you something
to eat or drink?

I'm not hungry.
When can I go?

Your parents are
coming here to get you.

Jessica, they've missed you very
much. They can't wait to see you.

I've told you, my name is not
Jessica. It's Marjorie Maddox.

Jessica, we both know
this is a picture of you.

When I talked to your mom, she
said you'd missed your birthday.

Your family can't wait for you to come
home, they want to celebrate it with you.

You cannot believe
how sad they were.

They thought you were
never gonna come home.

Okay. Hey, Jessica.

Come on,
it's gonna be okay.

No, it's not.

Mrs. Haggerty's going to be
so worried about me.

I have to go
back to her.

You're 14 years old.
You belong with your parents.

I belong with Mrs. Haggerty.
Can't you see that?

I know everybody thinks
that I was kidnapped.

But I ran away.

You did? Why?

Because my parents...

Oh, they didn't
understand me.

Mrs. Haggerty does?

Yes.

She saved my life.

She did?
How'd she do that?

She took me in
off the street.

She feeds us,
teaches us...

What does she teach you?

Stuff we should
learn in school.

And that all the girls should
respect themselves and each other.

This is Samantha Tassler.
Is she one of the girls?

No.

The other four girls are from
Denver, Chicago, Omaha and Detroit.

All high-profile cases

because they all come from wealthy
or upper middle class families.

How did they react
to being found?

Oh, the same
as Jessica.

They all denied
their real names,

they said they'd run away and
that they weren't kidnapped

and they all want to know when
they can go back to Mrs. Haggerty.

Is this
Stockholm Syndrome?

More than that.

These girls haven't just formed
a bond with this Mrs. Haggerty.

Their total devotion to her feels
like they've been brainwashed.

So this is some
kind of cult.

It explains why they were all
wearing the infinity symbol.

And why they're all
sticking to the same story.

Well, unless one of them starts
talking, the best we can get Haggerty on

is custodial interference for not
returning the kids to their parents.

That's just a misdemeanor. We can't
even hold her. What about Lang?

Right now,
he's untouchable.

If this is a cult, then maybe
Samantha was being punished

for misbehaving
or wanting to leave.

Cults often re-educate their members by
locking them up without food or water.

Which is how the M.E.
Said that she died.

That's depraved
indifference murder.

Including Samantha,
we've only found five girls.

Maybe they're holding
more somewhere else.

Like at the foundation's
brownstone.

What the hell?

This place was completely
furnished when we found the girls.

I'll check upstairs.

They took every
damn thing.

We need every piece of dirt
off the floor in every room.

Any reasonable surface
gets dusted for prints.

Second floor is empty.

This place has
been sanitized.

Like no one
was ever here.

Neighbors say three trucks pulled up,
emptied the place out in two hours.

Somebody had to tip them off.

The call couldn't have
come from any of the girls.

We made sure none of them
got near a phone.

Well, it had to be
Haggerty or her lawyer.

That's obstruction
of justice.

You think she'd
risk her law license?

We'll ask her as soon as we're
done processing the girls.

Already done. ACS picked up
the four from out of town,

took them to the shelter waiting
for their parents to arrive.

What about Jessica?

Her folks
just got here.

She looks
real happy to see them.

This is a cult
we're dealing with.

If we're gonna see Haggerty's lawyer,
I want Huang along for the ride.

You can't come barging in.
I'm with clients.

I'll handle this,
Joan.

Detectives Benson
and Stabler. And you are?

FBI. George Huang.

Can we help you?

Who cleaned out your
foundation's brownstone?

How would we know?

Oh, come on.
Somebody gave the order.

Now, it was either
you or your attorney.

Are you accusing me
of a crime?

Well, I'd like you to explain why Dr. Lang
and Mrs. Haggerty both have the same lawyer.

I had called Miss Quentin
after you arrested Paula.

You've made
a terrible mistake.

Do you know how much
she's helped runaways?

You mean after
she kidnaps them?

You're wrong, Detective.

And what about Samantha Tassler
undergoing in vitro fertilization,

which you happen to perform?
Are we wrong about that, too?

Any OBIGYN who's a fertility
specialist could have done that.

Yeah, but she and the other
girls weren't wearing

any other fertility
specialist's infinity necklace.

And you've got Miss Haggerty here who's
got that symbol tattooed on her wrist.

Any questions from the FBI,
Agent Huang?

You enjoy this,
don't you, Dr. Lang?

I enjoy helping those girls thrive
and realize their full potential.

Because of you people, we may have
to close down the foundation. Joan?

Unless you're going to arrest me or
either of my clients, we're through.

Or my next call is to the Internal
Affairs Bureau for harassment.

He's a narcissistic bastard
and he's calling all the shots.

You saw the way his
lawyer deferred to him.

I can understand a 14-year-old
being taken in by Lang,

but not a smart, educated woman like Quentin.

Jim Jones got hundreds of his
disciples to drink poisoned Kool-Aid

because he had a charismatic personality.

Lang uses his to get people like Quentin
and Haggerty to love and obey him.

Those teenage girls
couldn't be more vulnerable.

They're not
that attractive.

Probably got bad grades in school.
They're just social outcasts.

So this cult is a place for them to fit in.

And inundate them with approval and
affection. It's called love bombing.

"You're perfect
the way you are."

Right, which is what every
teenage girl wants to hear.

And Haggerty as a substitute mother
is a perfect person to tell them that.

There's no way these girls
got to her by accident.

No. They were targeted.
We've got to find out how.

First you said Samantha was homeless
and now you think she was murdered?

We're not sure
exactly, Mr. Tassler.

That's what we're
investigating.

It's possible that Samantha was
starved to death and left in the alley.

Oh, my God.

We can still take her home
for the funeral, can't we?

Yes, you can.

But we need to know, at the
time of Samantha's disappearance,

were there any changes
in her routine,

different people she was
hanging out with, friends?

She only had a few friends,
two or three girls.

They were a bad influence.

How so?

They drank and smoked and
got Samantha to do it, too.

Her grades started to drop but
we couldn't get her to care.

We even enrolled her in one of
those remedial tutoring centers.

You know, the kind
with private instruction.

Help kids realize
their full potential.

What did you just say?

Help kids realize
their full potential.

It was in the brochure.

What's the name
of that center?

You know this girl?

No. Never saw her before.
Now why are you here?

She attended this center right
before she disappeared last year.

Just like this girl who
vanished right outside of Philly.

I don't like your
insinuation, Detective.

I don't like liars,
Miss Kinderski.

Well, now, if you're going to be
rude, this conversation is ended.

What are you doing?

Nice tattoo.
An infinity symbol.

Yes.

We believe in the infinite
potential of our students to succeed.

Is that a crime?

It is if Garret Lang
paid for it.

Garret Lang?

Yeah. I bet if we pull your certificate
of incorporation, his name's on it.

Doctor Lang is a
forward-thinking, generous man

who wants to help young
people further their knowledge.

He's just an investor.

Sure, he is.

And you're just a teacher,
right?

Kinderski lawyered up.
Quentin's not letting her talk.

Yeah, but we found
the connection.

All six girls, Samantha
and Jessica included,

attended a Knowledge Builders
Center in their city.

Lang's at the top
of the pyramid.

Quentin keeps him
out of trouble,

Haggerty keeps
the girls in line

and Kinderski recruits them
from the learning centers.

I wouldn't be surprised if the initial test
they give includes personality questions

to identify the most
susceptible girls.

We checked Kinderski's
credit card statements.

She was in Philadelphia,
Detroit, Omaha, Chicago and Denver

three days before each
of the girls disappeared.

Which leaves us with another
coincidence but no smoking gun.

Well, the other girls
have all gone home.

Means we're gonna
have to get Jessica to talk.

Pretty tough coming home,
isn't it?

I guess.

Mrs. Haggerty,

she was good to you, wasn't
she, at the foundation?

Yeah. I really miss her.

I bet you do.

You want to
talk about it?

You think she
did something bad.

Hey, maybe I'm wrong.

If that's the case,
I'd like to know about it.

Mrs. Haggerty is the most
wonderful person I ever met.

She and the other girls
accepted me for who I am,

and not who they
thought I should be.

That's nice.

And how about Dr. Lang?
Am I wrong about him?

He is a great man.

He's going to
save the world.

Yeah? How's he
gonna do that?

Well, the ozone layer is disappearing. Yeah.

And the ultraviolet rays
will make everybody sterile.

So the only way our species will
survive is by cloning living cells.

Jessica,
are you pregnant?

Yes.

He chose me to be one of
the mothers of the future.

So he told you that you
were carrying a cloned baby?

To help a couple
whose baby died.

I'm going to bring
their child back to life.

Did Dr. Lang have
sex with you?

No. He'd never do
such a horrible thing.

He took the baby's cells
and put them in my eggs

and then put the eggs
back in me.

Where'd he do this?

This is Lang's
little shop of horrors.

I'm no expert, but this equipment
looks like it cost millions.

Check this out.

Dr. Frankenstein's
doing his experiments.

Let's get a bus.
Elliot, put this on.

If my patient
gets an infection

because you've contaminated my
sterile field, she could die.

Okay. Is she cut open?

No. Of course not.

Then wake her up,
safely.

You don't understand,
do you?

I'm going to make
medical history here.

Not by using teenage girls as
guinea pigs, you're not. Wake her up.

You're under arrest.

So how many more girls
do you have stashed away?

Dr. Lang has assured me...

Look, there are
no more.

You endangered my patient's life
when you entered my operating room.

We stopped you from
experimenting on her.

All of those
girls consented.

You have no idea how you've harmed our cause.

Oh, we've been through
your records, Doctor.

Your "cause" is preying
on the grief of parents

who have lost a child
by promising them

a cloned baby in
return for a donation.

We've got one here for half a million
dollars. Now I call that fraud.

I call it hope.

You can't prove Dr. Lang
intended to defraud anyone.

I believe that it is possible
to clone a human being.

Well, that's now
illegal in this country.

Well, it won't be
once we start dying off.

So, we as a species
are on our way out

and cloning is our only
chance at survival. Is that it?

Not just survival,
Detective.

I'm talking about
immortality.

And you use this idiotic crap to coerce
girls into being human incubators.

Stabler, that's
Irish Catholic, right?

Hey, pal, this ain't
about me, it's about you.

You believe
a virgin gave birth.

You think that was a very
popular theory in Jesus' time?

What I believe has got
nothing to do with your case.

Doesn't it? Heretics were burned at the
stake for saying that the world is round.

Darwin was vilified for even suggesting
that humans evolved from the primordial ooze.

Yet science and reason
proved him right.

So you're saying
that you're the new Darwin?

Or maybe even the Messiah?

I wouldn't
take it that far.

What exactly is my
client charged with?

Fraud and aggravated
sexual abuse.

You don't really think that either of
those will stand up in court, do you?

He's right.
We can't charge him.

Alex, he deceived those desperate
parents and inseminated minors.

It's not fraud because
there's no intent.

It's not rape because
there's no penetration.

And if we arrest him
for aggravated sex abuse,

he'll argue that the contact
was for a valid medical reason.

My ass.

What Lang is doing
in the name of science

is no different from what
Mengele did for the Nazis.

Except these girls consented
to the procedures.

They're not old
enough to consent.

They are when it comes
to reproductive rights.

They don't need permission to get
pregnant, no matter how they do it.

So that's it?
We can't touch him?

Not unless we can prove he is in some
way connected to Samantha Tassler's death.

I'm ruling this a homicide.
The DNA results are back.

The saliva on Samantha's cheek
belongs to Paula Haggerty.

Saliva and facial tissue. It's like
a mother wiping her child's face,

the brushing of the hair,
the wrapping in the blanket...

Now what about
Samantha's fetus?

I mean, you're not going to
tell us that that's the clone

of some family's
dead child, are you?

Until someone proves otherwise,
that's science fiction.

The cloned fetus would
only have DNA from that child.

Samantha's had DNA
from herself and a father.

So this whole cloning thing is a scam.

Samantha's eggs were
fertilized by someone's sperm.

And I wonder who's
that could be?

We'll need DNA from Lang
to prove it's his child.

Well, Cabot got us
a blood order for Haggerty.

It shouldn't be a problem
getting one for Lang.

So, if Samantha's baby was
Lang's, and she found out,

that sure would give Lang
a motive to kill her.

And if Lang fathered
Samantha's baby,

who do you think
fathered Jessica's?

My parents want me to give
the baby up for adoption.

They took you to test your
baby's DNA. Do you know why?

To make sure
that it's okay.

Mmm-hmm.

And to find out
who the father is.

Dr. Lang says my baby
doesn't have a father.

Has he ever
lied to you?

No.

Why are you
asking me this?

Because the DNA from your baby
tells us that it does have a father.

That's impossible.

Dr. Lang told me that
it was a cloned child.

We tested Dr. Lang.

He's the father
of your baby.

No!
Yeah.

That's the truth
and I'm sorry about it.

No, I believe in him.
I love him.

He fertilized your
egg with his own sperm.

He did the same
thing to Samantha.

I... I was helping
a couple whose baby died.

He lied to them, too.

Jessica, they gave
him a lot of money...

No, please don't!

He betrayed them.

He betrayed you, he betrayed
Samantha, and then he killed her.

No.

It's my fault
she's dead.

What do you mean
it's your fault?

Samantha said that
Dr. Lang was a fake,

and that she was going
to report him to the police.

And I told
Mrs. Haggerty.

What did Mrs. Haggerty say
to you when you told her that?

That Samantha had
to be reasoned with.

And then one day,
right in front of all of us,

she took Samantha away.

Jessica, could you
please describe the room

where Mrs. Haggerty
took Samantha Tassler?

It was empty.

No chair, no bed, no toilet.

Just four walls,
a floor and a bucket.

When was the next time
you saw Samantha?

Never.

I didn't even know she was dead until
a week ago when the police took us away.

Thank you, Jessica.
Nothing further.

Was there a lock on
the door to the room?

I don't know.

So for all we know, Samantha could
have been free to leave at any time.

Objection.
Sustained.

Did you believe that
Dr. Lang could clone a baby?

Yes.

Did you believe that the human race would
become extinct unless he cloned children?

Yes.

And you believed that Samantha
should be punished, didn't you?

Yes, but not like that.

So you're just as responsible
for her death as anyone.

Objection.
Withdrawn.

Jessica, did you ever,
at any time,

see Dr. Lang around Samantha
or at the foundation home?

No. We always went
to see him alone.

Did Dr. Lang ever ask you to do
anything that you didn't want to do?

No, but...

You loved him very much,
didn't you, Jessica?

Yes.

Nothing further.

I was on one of the first teams
to successfully clone a cat.

I'm close to
cloning a human being.

Dolly the sheep
only lived for six years.

And experts say that cloned human
babies could be sick or deformed.

So, isn't it irresponsible
to even try?

Medical visionaries throughout
history have been ridiculed.

Not only do you not know
how this is going to turn out,

you don't even know
how to do it, do you?

So why did you promise cloned babies
to parents who had lost their children?

Oh, I have every intention
of delivering on that promise.

But you testified on
direct examination

that you used your sperm
to fertilize the eggs

you had taken from Samantha
Tassler and the other girls.

So you were going to give
your children to those parents?

Until I'm able to clone
their babies, yes.

But you were going to
continue taking their money.

The money was crucial
for me to continue.

I have no other way
to fund my research.

Research that is
now against the law.

What were you going to tell
those mothers and those fathers?

I would have told
those parents to be patient.

And they would have
had other children to love.

Children who belonged to girls
like Samantha whose eggs you took.

Those girls, Samantha included,
consented to the procedures.

Really? Did Samantha also consent to being
locked in a room without food or water?

Objection.
Withdrawn.

Dr. Lang, isn't it true you were
afraid the money would dry up

when the parents who paid you to clone their
children found out that you had lied to them?

You're treating me like a criminal, when
I'm trying to give life, not destroy it.

You destroyed
Samantha Tassler's.

You knew if she exposed
what you were really doing,

your research would be
all washed up.

Objection.
Withdrawn.

No further questions.

Re-direct, Your Honor.

Dr. Lang, did you ever set foot in
the Foundation for Knowledge Expansion?

Only in the beginning,
when we were setting it up

and never when
the girls were there.

Who took care of the girls?

Paula Haggerty.

Did you ever tell Mrs. Haggerty
how to handle the girls?

No. She was more than qualified
to take care of them on her own.

When did you last
see Samantha Tassler?

When I confirmed her pregnancy
a week before she died.

So Mrs. Haggerty is the only one who
could have known what happened to her?

Mrs. Haggerty sets her own
rules at the foundation house.

I can't speak to
what took place there.

Thank you, Doctor. No further
questions. The defense rests, Your Honor.

I don't need
another lawyer.

Miss Quentin
is on her way.

I have asked Mr. Langan to
represent you until she gets here.

I'd rather wait.

Why?

So your attorney can tell you
to keep your mouth shut?

Don't you understand?
They are sacrificing you.

I don't have to
answer that, do I?

No, but I'd advise you to
consider what Ms. Cabot is saying.

What's the difference?
I'm guilty.

You'd spend the rest
of your life in prison

so Garret Lang is free
to continue his work?

Yes, if that's
what it takes.

Why would you martyr
yourself for him?

He gave me back
something I had lost.

You mean your daughter?

Who told you
about Carrie?

We found the missing persons
report from 1975.

When she ran away.

You never saw
her again, did you?

No.

That's why I wanted to work
with teenage girls.

I wanted to help them find a place
that they could always call home.

And Dr. Lang
gave that to you?

Yes.

He told me that I could love
and help teenage girls

and that they would
bring back to life

these dead children
of these poor parents.

But those girls
have parents, too.

Those parents should
have treated them better!

Better than you treated
your own daughter?

Carrie was very little
when my husband left us.

And I didn't handle it well.

We fought constantly and then one
day I woke up and she was gone.

In her note she said that she
had to leave me because she had...

She had to find a mother.

Paula?

We brought you a visitor.
It's Jessica.

You're not mad at me?

No.

They told me all
about your little girl.

I love my parents,
but I still love you, too.

All Lang has done is
manipulated your pain.

He's used you to help him
experiment on girls who love you.

They trust you.

You're the only one
who can stop him.

Marcie Kinderski
at Knowledge Builders

identified each girl at her
individual learning center.

That's where
the indoctrination began.

Who brought
the girls to you?

They were told to leave and
come to New York on their own.

Dr. Lang said it was
to avoid kidnapping charges.

But Marcie gave them money for the trip
and false IDs if they were coming by plane.

And once the girls arrived,
what was your role?

I was...

I was their mother

and teacher

and nurse.

I gave them
hormone injections

to prepare them
for the procedures.

When Samantha Tassler wanted
to leave, what did you do?

Reasoned with her.

I put her in a room in the
basement, as is the doctrine.

Did you give her
any food or water?

No. I was ordered
not to.

By whom?

By Dr. Lang. He said she
had to be re-programmed.

Who did
the re-programming?

He did.

He came over at night
after they had gone to sleep.

What happened on the sixth night
of Samantha's re-programming?

I went to check on her.
She... She...

She could barely move.

And just as I was about
to give her some water,

Dr. Lang

walked in

and took it
away from me.

Samantha died
in my arms.

What happened next?

She was so dirty.

I tried to wipe
her face with tissue,

I fixed her hair and I
put a blanket around her.

And then we carried
her out to my car.

Dr. Lang said that
I should leave her.

As if...
As if she were homeless.

But I tried to make her
as comfortable as possible.

Paula, why are you
doing this?

Why would you
betray me like this?

Dr. Lang, you are
out of order!

This entire trial
is out of order.

Don't you understand?
I'm trying to save you.

I'm trying to save
the human race.

Sit down, Dr. Lang,
or I will have you removed!

The cat's out of the bag,
folks!

Remove the defendant!

Science and the future
wait for no one.

If not for me, someone
will clone a human being.

You wait and see!
