- 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.

- I want to stay home.

- I know, baby.

I'm sorry.

I know you don't feel good. [seatbelt clicks]

We're going to swing by the doctor's office, OK?

How about if we play a game, huh?

You pick.

- How about "what am I?"

- Oh, that's a good one.

- I'm chubby, yellow, and nobody likes me.

- Oh, hmm, a bumblebee?

- No, a school bus.

Ha ha.

- [chuckling]

[engine turns over]

- Mom.

- Just give me a minute, Haley.

- When are we going to the doctor?

- Just one more stop, OK?

Sit tight. I'll be right back.

- Wait, wait.

Can you please put the heat on?

I'm cold.

- OK, all right.

I'll be two seconds.

[doorbell chimes]

[faint pop music playing]

* *

[doorbell chimes]

- Sorry. I had the music on.

- It's OK. Here's your breakfast.

- Thanks. Cady, right?

- Yeah.

It's all there. - Sorry.

Last time, they screwed up my order.

- Oh, yeah.

We good? - All good.

Let me just get you a tip.

- Thank you.

I've got to get going.

- There you go. - Thank you.

[engine revving]

- Hey, is that your car? - Hmm?

Oh, my God.

Haley!

Haley! Haley!

My car!

Someone just stole my daughter!

Haley! Haley!

[tires squealing] Haley!

God! Haley!

No!

Help me, someone, God--

[breathing heavily]

[children giggling]

- I'm so glad that this worked out.

- I know.

Look at us getting to walk our kids to school.

- Like a couple of regular moms.

- I wanted to thank you, though.

- For?

- For getting my girls into this program.

- Oh, come on, Amanda.

They're gifted, just like their mom.

- Mom, my case, it's heavy. [phone buzzing]

- OK. Well--

- Don't worry. I've got it.

- Noah's carrying it. - Thank you, Noah.

- Chief.

Yeah.

[exhales] OK.

OK. Right.

So I'm actually with Sergeant Amanda Rollins,

so I'll have her loop in the Intelligence Bureau.

Understood.

Bye.

- Who was that?

- That was our new chief of Ds.

- What happened?

- Stolen vehicle on West 88th Street.

- And he's calling all units?

- There was an eight-year-old little girl in the backseat.

- Oh, my God.

- Mom, is everything OK?

- Yeah, honey.

Amanda and I just have to run to work.

So I'll see you after school, OK?

Have a great day. - I will.

- All right. - I love you.

- I love you.

- Captain. Sergeant.

- Chief Barone.

- Do we have an ID on the missing girl?

- Yes, Haley Greene.

- Her picture and description are out on alert.

- Is that the mother? - Yeah, Cady Greene.

She was making a food delivery.

She left the car running and the doors unlocked.

- In New York?

Was she trying to get her kid taken?

- Hey, let's not rush to judgment, OK?

[phone rings] - Commissioner.

Yeah, I'm on the scene.

- Captain.

We're looking at a missing girl?

Any leads? - Not yet.

Full mobilization, OK?

You know the drill.

- Yeah, find witnesses.

- Pull traffic cams.

- The mother was making a food delivery.

Maybe the guy saw something. - Copy.

- Ms. Greene, I'm Captain Benson.

This is Sergeant Rollins.

- I--I left her for a minute. - OK.

Can you tell us exactly what happened?

- I mean, maybe whoever it was thought that they were

just stealing a car, you know?

Maybe they didn't realize that Haley was in the backseat.

- That's a possibility.

- Maybe they're just going to push her

out of the car, you know?

- So here's what's going to happen next, all right?

We're going to take you down to the station,

and I want you to focus all your energy

on telling us exactly what you remember,

exactly what happened, OK?

- And what if they bring Haley back here?

Or what if she goes home somehow?

- We have detectives here covering the scene.

We have them at your apartment.

So if she comes back, we will know about it.

- OK.

- So is there anybody that we can call for you?

Is there a friend or, you know, boyfriend, husband?

- No.

No, it's just Haley and me.

- OK. - You have to find her, please.

- We will. We will.

[dramatic music]

* *

.

- You said you spoke with the mother earlier?

- She was hysterical, understandably.

- Did you see who stole her car?

- I am sorry. I wasn't paying attention

until I heard the mother screaming.

- Anything you saw at all would be helpful.

- [sighs]

Once I looked up the street, I did see a white van.

- A van? - Yeah, like a rental van.

It was following the woman's car.

- That's great. Thank you.

- Yeah.

- Poor Cady. I can't even imagine.

- You know her name? - Yeah.

She delivers my breakfast from 96th Street Diner twice a week.

- Did you happen to see her little girl

or who took the car?

- I didn't even know she had a daughter.

If I knew there was a kid in the car,

I never would have made her wait.

- Wait? What do you mean?

- I went back inside to get my wallet.

I wanted to give her a tip.

- Well, if you wanna help us,

we're going to need your Ring cam footage.

- Sure, no problem.

Just give me a second.

- I mean, I had to work.

I can't just take the day off 'cause my daughter's sick.

I don't have any family in the area.

I can't afford child care.

- OK, no one's blaming you, Ms. Greene.

- And we don't want you to blame yourself.

- [sighs deeply]

Who would take my little girl?

- Well, like you said, it is possible that this

was a random car theft.

- Can I ask you why you left the car running?

- Well, it was cold out.

She was sick.

I left the heat on.

- And the doors were unlocked?

- [sighs] I mean, it was a nice neighborhood.

She was 20 feet away.

- So there's two possible scenarios here, right?

The door was unlocked,

so either this was a crime of opportunity,

or somebody targeted your daughter.

- Is there anyone in your life who's close to Haley

that you might suspect of something like that?

- No, no.

- A relative? A nanny?

A babysitter?

- Like I said, I can't afford childcare.

- And what about Haley's father?

- Dylan?

- Is he in the picture?

- Haley only spends about a weekend a month at his place.

- And why is that?

- He gigs a lot. He's a musician.

- Are you and Dylan in any kind of custody dispute?

- No.

Do you think that he would do this?

- When is the last time you spoke with Dylan?

- Uh...

it was Valentine's Day.

He took Haley out for ice cream.

- OK, how about we give him a call right now on speaker, OK?

- [sighs]

- Hey, what's up? It's Dylan.

You know what to do. - What do I do?

- Tell him to call you back.

[voicemail beeps]

- Hey, Dylan, this is Cady.

Can you just call me back as soon as you get this?

- Uh, Cady, is there anything that might give you pause

about him spending time with Haley?

- No, never.

- Hey, any luck tracking down

Haley's birth father, Dylan Reed?

- No, we haven't been able to get a ping off his cell phone.

- Seems a little shady, doesn't it?

- Detectives in Brooklyn went to his apartment.

Nobody was home.

They left an unmarked on his block in case he shows.

- And no sign of Cady's red sedan?

- I'm still pulling up traffic cam footage.

- Rollins, anything from intelligence?

- Yeah, we're tracking Haley's image across

multiple digital footprints. - What do you think?

Whoever took her posted a photo?

- We've seen it before. - Got something.

TARU's been going through Ring cam footage on the block,

and they have an image of the driver.

- It looks like a woman.

- Trying to hide her face.

- From the wave, it seems like she knows Cady.

- We're not just looking at a carjacking anymore.

- Well, the witness we spoke to mentioned a white moving van

following Cady's car up the block

right after the abduction.

- So do we think it's connected?

- The van driver could have

just been waiting for traffic to clear.

- Well, whoever's driving Cady's car is obscured,

so we won't get anything off facial recognition.

- But we still need to show it to Cady.

- Yeah.

- You said she waved at Haley?

- Yeah, it seems like they know each other.

- I have never seen this woman before in my life.

- Maybe it's a neighbor or somebody from school.

- Is it possible that her father had a girlfriend

that he didn't tell you about?

- Look, I know you probably think that I'm a bad mother,

but I know everyone in my daughter's life.

- We don't think that you're a bad mother, Cady.

[knocking at door]

- Captain? Sergeant?

- Excuse us for a minute.

You got a lead?

- Yeah, the unis found Cady's car.

- Where?

- Near an overpass on Riverside Drive.

[ominous music]

- Captain Benson? - Yeah.

- Sergeant Grasso.

- You manage to recover the plates?

- Notified you guys as soon as we ran it.

- Who called it in?

- Sanitation guy.

Fire Department responded.

- OK.

Velasco, Silva, see if he saw anything.

All right, whoever set this car on fire

didn't just walk away.

So pull all the pole cam security footage.

All right, open the trunk.

- There's nothing left, Captain.

- We got to see for ourselves.

- Look, we're looking for a little girl.

* *

Well, she's not here.

- Yeah, car burned like this, if there were a body,

there'd be some remains.

- OK, so whoever took the car knows NYPD is looking for them.

- So the question is, what did they do with Haley?

[sighs]

.

- Silva, where are we on the pole cam footage?

- TARU says that they're still working on it.

- OK.

I'll put a call in to the chief.

And what about the sanitation worker who called in the fire?

- Didn't see anyone matching the description of the woman

driving the car or Haley.

Unis are still canvassing Riverside Drive.

- All right, I sent Curry and Velasco

to the forensic garage.

You know, hopefully, they get lucky with evidence.

[sighs deeply]

Silva, is there anything else?

- Just thinking.

We haven't been able to reach Haley's father, Dylan, yet.

- OK. Nothing from the uni

who we posted outside his building?

- No, the guy seems to be MIA.

- OK, well, head to Brooklyn

and bang on his neighbors' doors.

Somebody's got to know something.

- Copy that, Captain.

Tell me about your neighbor Dylan and his daughter.

- Dylan's cool.

I've met his daughter.

- Do you know that she's missing?

- What? No.

- Do you think Dylan knows?

- I-I have no idea.

I haven't talked to him.

- His ex, Cady, has been calling and leaving messages.

He's not answering or calling her back.

- You don't think he had something

to do with his daughter being missing?

- Any reason we should? - No.

I mean, I don't think so.

I think Dylan's a decent guy.

But I guess you can never really know people.

- Do you have any idea where he is right now?

- No.

He travels for work, always has a gig somewhere.

- When's the last time you saw him?

- Yesterday morning.

Yeah, he left with his guitar and got in a van.

- A white van?

- Yeah, I think so.

- OK, just got pole cam footage--

picked up that white moving van.

- So the van wasn't just stuck in traffic behind

a double-parked vehicle?

- No, it was following Cady's car.

- I can't see the guy's face.

- So it looks like we're looking for a male-female team.

Find anything in that scorched vehicle?

- You mean this tin can you guys towed down from Riverside?

All that's left is the plates.

- So I'm guessing no DNA?

- Blaze like that? Not a chance.

- How'd the fire start?

- Point of origin was the front seat.

Looks like someone soaked the cushion

with nail polish remover.

[whooshes] Lit a match.

- How do you know the accelerant was

nail polish remover?

- Uni found this tossed in a sewer grate near the scene.

- Is it possible it belongs to Cady?

- Either her or the kidnapper.

- See if the lab can get prints off it.

- We'll ask Cady if it's hers.

- They burned my car?

Where's Haley?

- No, no, she was not in the car when it was burned.

We've confirmed that.

- We're still investigating, but we did recover

a bottle of nail polish remover.

Was that yours? - No, no.

I don't have time to do my nails.

- OK. We also got a picture,

an image from a pole cam near the scene.

So...

you recognize this man?

- No. No, not at all.

- You said that Dylan was a musician.

Maybe it was one of his friends?

- I don't know any of his bandmates.

- OK.

'Cause we haven't been able to get a hold of Dylan.

He hasn't called us back.

He hasn't even been by his apartment.

- OK, is there any place you can think of

that he may have gone?

You know, maybe he had a gig.

- I wish I knew.

I don't know.

- OK.

How about you call him?

Let's call him right now, OK?

- OK. - Let's call him again.

- Hey, what's up? - Mm-mm.

- It's Dylan. You know what to do.

- God. [voicemail beeps]

Dylan, hi, it's me again.

Can you please call me back?

It's about Haley.

Call me.

- OK.

- Thanks, Corgan.

Keep me updated.

- Well, I take it from that look, no leads.

- There's nothing on social media.

Corgan is looping in NicMec, the Feds,

checking child pornography sites.

- Look, it's been a few hours

since we found that car heading north.

- Well, we know Haley didn't get on a commercial flight.

So far, there's been nothing from the alerts

at train and bus stations in the vicinity.

- Captain, Sergeant.

Dylan Reed, Haley's father, just showed up.

[tense music]

- Mr. Reed.

- Hey. What the hell's going on?

I get home, and there's a cop car at my place.

- Where you been?

- At a recording session.

- For the last 24 hours?

- Yeah, for a weight loss drug.

- Why weren't you answering your phone?

- No phones allowed.

- Have you talked to Cady?

'Cause she's been calling you.

- I got her messages as soon as I got out of the studio.

I called her back, got sent straight to her voicemail.

- Mr. Reed, do you know where your daughter is?

Because she's missing.

- What are you talking about?

- Cady's car was stolen, and Haley was in the backseat.

- Oh, my God.

- When is the last time you spoke with your daughter?

- Um,

Valentine's Day.

I took her for ice cream.

- And you haven't seen her since?

- I've been on the road.

- OK, so my question to you is,

is there anyone that you can think of

that may have taken your daughter?

- What are you talking about? No.

- Is there anybody in your life that's shown

a special interest in her?

- Look, I know I'm not the best dad,

but I would never associate with someone

who would hurt Haley or take her.

And I sure as hell didn't kidnap her.

- OK.

We're still gonna need to confirm your alibi.

- No problem.

There were ten people in that session.

- So Dylan Reed, Haley's father,

is no longer a suspect.

- You confirmed his alibi?

- Yeah, he was in a recording session

with ten other musicians.

No cell phone access for the past 24 hours.

- Doesn't have a record. We ran his financials.

- Yeah, it turns out he's some kind of trust fund kid.

- So if he did have money problems,

Daddy would have been able to bail him out.

- So we're looking at a stranger abduction?

- Two strangers, a man and a woman.

- Cady was a delivery person, right?

I've heard of drivers getting robbed before.

We sure this wasn't a setup?

- We ruled out the guy she delivered to.

- What?

- Corgan just got off with NicMec.

Haley's image popped up on a site that they were tracking.

- Child porn? - Something else.

Can you mirror this? - Yeah. Send the link.

[tense music]

- You look so pretty.

- Ow. Ow!

Ow, that hurts!

Ow!

- I know how much you bad boys out there like to watch.

Well, watch this.

[electrodes clicking]

Stay still while I put this around your neck, Missy.

- My name is not Missy!

My name is Haley! - Not anymore.

You're going to wear this as long as I tell you to.

- Ow! That's too tight!

Ow!

[crying]

- Here's a little taste of what happens

if you don't do as I say.

- [screams]

- What are we looking at here?

- Torture. - Control.

- It's delegated sadism,

a pathology of orchestrating acts of violence

or torture, not because the viewers want

to participate physically, but because they enjoy

the suffering itself.

- Whoever's watching this is paying for it.

- Yeah, and the money gives them power

not only over the victim, but of the aggressor.

- How many of these sites are out there?

- NicMec says they're tracking a few dozen

of these content creators--

Wicked Winnie, Rowdy Rosie, and this one.

- Missy Mayhem.

- So if NicMec knows about these sites,

why don't they just shut them down?

- Most of them operate out of Southeast Asia.

- Well, we know that's not the case here.

- How long ago did this pop up?

- Two hours after pole cam footage.

- It seemed like it was being live streamed.

- Which means that Haley is less than two hours from us.

[tense music]

* *

.

- Oh, my God. Where is this?

Where is she? - We don't know exactly yet.

- But we have confirmation that Haley is still alive.

- [sighs]

- And Cady, she's within--

she's within two hours of Manhattan.

- And the kidnappers put this on the internet why?

- There are people all over the world who will pay money

to see all kinds of things.

- [sighs]

Child porn?

- No, no, no, that's not what this is.

That's not what this is.

- Well, then, what is it?

- Right now, we don't think it's sexual.

- But what we do know is that there's a woman involved.

- So we heard a woman's voice on the video.

- So we'd love to play you this audio, if that's OK.

- Yeah. - OK.

- Stay still while I put this around your neck, Missy.

- Who--who's Missy?

- That's not important right now.

Does this voice--does that sound familiar to you at all?

- [sighs] No.

No.

- Is there any way of telling where the video was shot?

- Unfortunately, no.

Whoever's hosting Missy Mayhem is using a VPN.

- How many people are paying for this stuff?

- They have a few hundred subscribers worldwide.

- How long has the site been active for?

- About two years.

- Two years.

Only one video?

- They must have deleted the prior videos for some reason.

- OK, we know we can't reach the content creators,

but what about the subscribers?

- I have a list of a couple dozen who aren't using VPNs.

- OK.

Please tell me we're picking them up right now.

- Yeah. Send me that list.

- I have no idea who that girl is.

I've never seen her before.

- You didn't stream this video of her

being shocked by a dog collar?

And before you answer, we already know that you did.

- Am I in trouble?

- You could say that.

She was kidnapped yesterday.

She's still missing.

- I had nothing to do with it.

I just like watching.

- She was in pain.

You get off on that?

- I thought she was just acting.

- You paid money to watch a little girl get tortured.

That's facilitating an assault to a felony

and child endangerment.

- If I were you,

I'd start talking.

- Yeah, I saw that video. - When?

- Last night, but just for a few seconds.

- A few seconds? - It was an accident.

I was scrolling through a porn aggregator--

adult porn, legal.

- And Missy Mayhem just popped up?

- We have evidence that you used

your credit card on this site multiple times,

which is illegal.

- Yes, before I realized that she was underage.

I can't have anything to do with kiddie porn.

I'm a pediatric dentist.

- I only saw her once this morning.

I shut it right off.

- Mr. Kauffman, we have evidence that you've been

a subscriber of the Missy Mayhem site

for the past two years. - I am.

But that's not Missy Mayhem.

I liked the original Missy Mayhem better.

- The original Missy Mayhem?

- She was the only girl on the site.

They deleted all her posts.

- Why? - I have no idea.

- Is there anything else that you could tell us

about this other girl?

What she looked like, her age?

- She was a little older.

I'd probably get banned from the site if they found out,

but I actually screen-recorded some of her videos.

[tense music]

* *

- That's a good girl.

[clicking]

I'm glad you cleaned up your room.

You want a snack? - What is she doing?

- It's called clicker training.

They use it to teach dogs obedience.

- This is the same woman's voice.

- I'll be back in a minute with your treat.

- And this is the original Missy Mayhem?

- Yeah, one of the pervs we talked to had

a few dozen of these videos recorded,

all of the same girl.

- Is there anything that we know about her?

- Well, NicMec ran facial recognition.

She's not on any other sites, and there's no record

of her being reported missing.

- All of these videos are similar?

- Pretty much.

Different scenarios, all degrading.

- In one, she was forced to put a cone around her neck.

- OK, and Haley had a shock collar on.

Hold on, scroll back.

[audio playing in reverse]

- I'll be back in a minute with your treat.

[dogs barking in distance]

- Do you hear that? - Mm.

I was raised on a farm in Georgia.

That sounds like a pack of big dogs to me.

- Not to mention all these similar scenarios.

- Operant conditioning.

- It's dog training.

- You know, there are a lot of dog breeders upstate.

- OK, so we need to narrow it down.

Do you think that your people can identify the breed?

- Based on audio?

- You'd be surprised by our tech advances.

[phone beeps]

- Hey, NicMec's been monitoring.

Another video of Haley just dropped.

- Lie down.

- No, I don't want to.

- It is time for bed.

- But I don't want to.

- I said, get to your bed.

Don't make me put this collar on you again.

[tense music]

Lie down.

* *

.

- I'll be back in a minute with your treat.

[dogs barking in distance]

- What are we looking at? - Nothing good.

- Right now, the sound of those dogs barking

is the only lead we have in finding two missing girls.

- Clock is ticking.

Can you do something with this? - Absolutely.

First step, put it through Reverb RX.

- What does that do?

- It'll isolate the barking and remove background noise.

- I'll be back in a minute with your treat.

[dog barking]

- Yeah.

All right, do you think there's any way that we can

figure out what breed that is?

- Believe it or not, we have a program called the BarkID,

which deals mainly in animal acoustics.

I'm not promising anything, but if I had to guess,

I'd say we're looking at one of the popular guard breeds.

- You know what, call in a behaviorist

from the K9 Unit if you have to.

- I'll let you know as soon as I have anything definitive.

- Thank you.

- You have news on Haley?

- Well, I wish we could give you something more concrete,

but we are following leads.

- What are they?

- So do you recall any instance recently

where someone with a large dog may have approached you?

- No, no.

- Do you know anybody that has big dogs?

- No.

- Were you looking to buy a dog?

Maybe you went to a pet shop, or a breeder, or a kennel?

- Why are you asking me all this?

- We found another video.

- Another video of Haley?

- We believe it's made by the same people,

but this was of another girl.

- So the people that made these videos,

they've done this before.

- As far as we can tell, whoever took Haley

and this other girl, they seem to own a lot of dogs.

- And what we heard sounded like a pack of dogs

in the background, so we're thinking

that they may be dog breeders.

- Well, Haley and I weren't looking to get a dog.

- OK.

Uh, would you excuse us just for a minute?

- Yeah.

- Rollins.

We heard back from your guy at the acoustics lab.

- Yeah?

- He narrowed down the breed to one of three.

- He seems to think it's either Rottweilers,

Dobermans, or Cane Corsos.

- Well, how many breeders can there be in a two-hour radius?

- Well, we have a short list, most of them upstate.

- Right, so head up there

and talk to all of them.

- Got it.

- Officers, take a look around.

Grey Hills Farm?

Who's listed as the owner?

- Victoria and Gus Grey,

Cane Corso breeders for 20 years.

- Can I help you?

- Yeah, Victoria Grey?

- Uh, yes.

What's this about?

- Forgive us for not calling ahead.

I'm Captain Curry.

Detectives Velasco and Silva with Manhattan SVU.

- This is the girl that's missing?

- Do you recognize her? - No.

I'm sorry. - OK.

What about this girl?

- No.

You said this was all the way down in Manhattan?

- Yeah.

- Why would I know anything about that?

- We're just following up on a lead.

- Is this your husband?

- Yes. Gus.

- Where is he now?

- He passed away a few years back.

- OK. Thank you for your time.

[dog barking]

- This the girl that went missing?

- Mm-hmm. - I saw the story online.

- Well, you happen to see her in the area?

- No. I'm sorry.

- What about this girl?

[dog barks]

- I haven't seen her either.

- No ring. You're not married?

- No.

- What about a female employee or a business partner?

Girlfriend? - No.

I'm dating a guy.

Why does that matter?

[dogs barking]

- I've never seen this girl.

Have you, Gary?

- Uh, no. Sorry.

- OK. What about this girl?

- I don't think so.

- Well, maybe she was younger.

- She might have been with a woman.

- No.

Sorry, I don't recall.

- OK, well, do you guys ever go to dog shows,

talk to other breeders? - Oh, yeah.

Sure.

- Gary, she looks--

she looks like the Carwoods' little girl, don't you think?

- If you say so.

- The Carwoods?

- Rottweiler breeders, like us, in Ellenville.

We cross paths with them from time to time.

They brought their daughter to a show last year.

- You think that's her?

- I only saw her once, but I could swear, yes.

I think they called her Ashlynn.

- OK, great.

Thank you.

Yeah, OK.

We'll meet you up there, Captain.

- Benson and Rollins are on their way up?

- Yeah.

And in the meantime, Benson wants us

to liaise with Ellenville PD.

- To get some background on the Carwoods?

- According to Rollins' intel,

they have a couple of hundred acres

and half a dozen registered guns.

- I mean, we can't just walk in there

without a plan. - No.

- So that was County Records in Ellenville.

They confirmed a birth certificate

for a girl named Ashlynn Carwood,

born to a Nicole and Dennis Carwood in 2013.

- OK, well, does Ashlynn have a cell phone or any social media?

- You mean other than Missy Mayhem?

No, no online presence at all.

- What's our next step?

- Have Ellenville PD and the state troopers

meet us near the property.

We have two young girls potentially in danger.

We're not taking any chances.

[tense music]

- We have state troopers surrounding the house.

So what do we know about the Carwoods?

- Dennis and Nicole-- Rottweiler breeders,

no criminal record, pay their taxes,

no issues with local authorities.

- We're sure this is their daughter?

- Yes, but she's not registered to any of the local schools.

- Well, she could be homeschooled.

And there's no sign of Haley?

- No, nothing on surveillance.

- Just a bunch of dogs out back.

- And the Carwoods are in the house.

- All right.

So Rollins, Curry, and I are gonna take the house.

You two, go around back.

[tense music]

[dogs barking]

[gunshot bangs]

Go! - Let's go!

[dramatic music]

- NYPD. - Stay back!

- All right, easy. I got this.

Easy. - Leave us alone!

- I got it.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

- Don't touch me!

- OK.

Let's all just take a breath.

Let's drop your weapon, Mrs. Carwood.

It's over now.

- It's not over!

- OK, OK, OK, OK.

- Leave me alone!

- I need you to drop the weapon, OK?

I need you to drop the weapon.

- [groans] - Let's take a breath.

- [breathing rapidly]

- OK, OK, OK, OK.

Drop it. Drop it.

There you go.

- [groans]

- We need a bus.

- Tell me where Haley is.

Where is she?

- Captain, we found something.

- [sighs]

[dogs barking]

[tense music]

* *

[door creaks]

[gasps]

* *

Any sign of Ashlynn or Haley?

- No. We searched the premises.

- Call in the K9 Unit.

[sighs]

[dogs barking]

[suspenseful music]

* *

- Captain!

- What have you got?

- Dog indicated here.

I need a shovel.

- So it's a body?

Human?

- Likely, yes.

* *

- Is that a sleeping bag, a comforter?

- It's a little girl's.

Have crime techs secure the scene.

- Copy, Captain.

- Get CSU and the ME down here.

.

[dogs barking]

- What can you tell us?

- Multiple spiral fractures, missing teeth.

Looks like broken ribs.

This poor girl suffered a lot of abuse.

- How old was she?

- Small for her age, evidence of malnutrition.

According to her growth plates, I'd estimate about 12.

- Can you ID her?

- We ran a bone fragment through our rapid DNA machine.

The couple you just arrested?

We swabbed them, got a match.

[somber music]

This girl is their biological daughter.

* *

- Where is Haley, Mrs. Carwood?

- You and your husband buried

your own daughter in your backyard?

- Did you kill her, too?

- I want to know where my husband is.

- He's recovering from surgery to remove the bullet

that you put in his stomach.

- I'll be representing Mrs. Carwood.

And my client is within her rights

not to answer any questions.

- Yes, she is, but she's looking

at quite a few charges--

kidnapping and murder.

So you might want to advise her to help herself out.

- I'll decide what I answer, not you.

- The only question that I'm interested in

is, where is Haley?

- Where's my wife?

- She's at the police station right now, being interrogated.

Our ADA says the first one who flips gets a deal.

- What kind of deal are we talking?

- Nothing until you tell us where Haley is.

- Your wife shot you in the stomach.

- She tried to kill you.

- And you're protecting her?

- My wife loves me.

We talked about it.

If the cops ever showed up, we'd go out together.

- It's awfully convenient how she followed through

with shooting you and not herself.

- We found your daughter in a shallow grave in the backyard.

- Whose idea was that?

- I didn't kill her.

- So how'd she end up dead?

- She was sick of being Missy Mayhem.

- So you're saying she killed herself?

- No.

She and Nicole had a fight about it.

I wasn't there.

Nicole says she pushed her.

It was an accident.

- You didn't call the police?

- We didn't want to get blamed.

- Our ME says that Ashlynn was abused.

- Not by me.

- No.

You just like to watch little girls in pain.

- That's how this whole site started, right?

[tense music]

* *

- The site was all my husband's idea.

He's the one that's into that stuff.

- So you play into his fantasy?

- Look, we started raising Rotties

when we first got married.

One day, I was disciplining one of our dogs

for making a mess on the carpet.

I shoved the dog's nose in it.

I look across the room, and I see that Dennis is excited.

- So--

so he liked to watch.

- But you don't.

You'd rather be in control.

- He liked seeing me discipline the dogs.

- And then

your own child.

- Yeah.

Things changed when Ashlynn came along.

- All of a sudden, it wasn't just a dog's nose

you were shoving into the carpet.

- Until Ashlynn died.

- We had to replace her.

We make money off the site.

- How did you choose Haley?

- She waved at us

when we were stopped at a light,

and Dennis took that as a sign.

- So this whole kidnapping thing,

this was Dennis's idea.

- Where is this going?

- Well, let me spell it out for you.

So there's only one deal, right?

But there are two perpetrators.

- First one to tell us where Haley is gets the deal.

- Now, you said you like to be in control.

I don't think you're gonna do too well in prison.

* *

[indistinct radio chatter]

- All right, it's Number 2.

Cut it open.

[suspenseful music]

* *

- Haley. - Haley!

- Haley?

Haley.

Hi.

Listen, I'm Joe. I'm a police officer.

You're safe.

- Help me. [sobbing]

- You're gonna be OK.

- [crying]

- You're OK.

You're safe.

It's OK. You're safe.

- Haley, it's OK.

It's OK.

- [crying]

* *

- Mrs. Carwood, on the charge of kidnapping,

how do you plead?

- Not guilty, Your Honor.

- People on bail?

- Given the severity of these crimes,

and considering the defendant is facing additional charges

of child endangerment, assault, manslaughter in Ulster County,

we believe that she is a flight risk,

not to mention a danger to both the community

and the victim's safety.

We request bail in the amount of 2 million.

- This is Nicole Carwood's first offense, Your Honor.

She has no criminal record.

- Well, she does now, Mr. Bell.

I'm granting bail in the amount of 2 million.

Bailiff, next case.

- My client delivered on her word, Mr. Carisi.

Haley Greene was found safe and unharmed.

- She was safe, but she wasn't unharmed.

- Still, there was a deal mentioned

during my client's interrogation

with Captain Benson and Sergeant Rollins.

- Well, I don't know what I can do for you, Mr. Bell.

We can discuss after your client posts bail.

Take her.

- Nicole.

Nicole, what's wrong?

Why won't you look at me?

I still love you.

- Mr. Carwood, on the charge of kidnapping,

how do you plead?

- Not guilty, Your Honor.

- People on bail?

- Again, Your Honor, given the severity of these crimes

and the flight risk pending the additional charges

of child endangerment, assault,

and manslaughter in Ulster County,

we request 2 million.

Your husband pled not guilty.

- I'm sure his lawyer will come crawling

to you for a deal next.

- You want to talk?

Let's talk.

- What's gonna happen to my dogs?

- Your Rottweilers?

That's what you're worried about,

not your husband, not your murdered daughter?

- I need my babies to go to good homes.

- They're in the custody of Ulster County Animal Control.

I'm sure they're being very well cared for.

- Let's get back to my client.

- Captain Benson offered me a deal if I cooperated,

and I did.

So I want a deal for my animals too.

- Ulster County is out of my jurisdiction.

I can't do anything for your dogs.

- Let's talk about the New York charge.

- Your client's looking at

at least 25 years for the kidnapping.

- Hardly a deal.

We could take our chances at trial.

- I guess you didn't hear about the pending federal charges.

Producing and distributing illegal content,

human trafficking? - That was all Dennis.

- Nicole.

- I had nothing to do with that.

- Well, I doubt the feds are gonna see it that way.

But since you did cooperate,

and we found Haley alive,

I'm willing to talk to them.

- We're willing to change our plea to guilty

if you can drop the federal charges.

- Done.

- What about the manslaughter charge?

I didn't kill my daughter.

- As I said, Ulster County is not my jurisdiction.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Doctors say she's gonna be OK, no serious injuries.

- So great to hear.

Well, after everything she's been through, it's--

it's going to take some time. - I know.

I just--I want a fresh start.

My parents just retired to Vermont,

so we're gonna move in with them.

- Great.

- Thank you so much, both.

I'd better get back to her. - OK.

Good.

- Dennis and Nicole Carwood both just made deals--

kidnapping in New York, assault and manslaughter

in Ulster County. - How much time?

- Well, Carisi's still working out the details,

but they're gonna get 25 to life.

And the subscribers we rounded up,

they're gonna get serious time too.

- That's something. - Yeah.

- It still doesn't answer my question, though.

How does a parent do that to their own kid?

[soft dramatic music]

- You've been working this job longer than I have.

- Yeah. And?

- You still don't know the answer.

- Hmm.

Let's go home.
