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.

You going to bring these spears on me now or what?

Earth a kick.

Who?

I've got to run.

Hi, where's Mom?

Check the twins at George Semple's birthday party. Is that your boyfriend?

No.

Introduce me.

No.

How long has he been out of prison?

Dad's mom.

What's his name?

Ryan Witherspoon. Witherspoon.

You got any school?

He's going to post next year, okay?

Okay, I guess it's cute.

On the L .A., a multiple vehicle accident just before the Midtown Tunnel

traffic clogged up.

Is that a tattoo?

No.

No? Where'd you get it?

Well, you've got tattoos.

I was 18 and in the service.

It's henna.

It washes off.

Well, why didn't you just tell me that?

I just did.

You're such a cop.

Yeah, wait till you have kids.

All the little witherspoons.

Stay here, lock the

doors, we'll open that window.

Watch yourself.

Captain Cragen, one of your detectives reports, while bar hopping, picking up a

suspect and having sex with him. Another confesses to fantasies about killing

suspects.

Just what kind of unit are you running, Captain?

I was told that whatever the results, that the actual content of these psych

evaluations would be kept private.

Doctor -patient privilege is sacrosanct.

Promiscuity and fantasies of murder?

Detectives Jeffries and Stabler will undergo further evaluation and will

formal explanations to this committee.

I have assigned Prosecutor ADA Cabot to adjudicate SVU cases.

You will apprise ADA Cabot of your case file ASAP. If robbery unit next.

Captain Cregan.

Miss Cabot. Alex. Yeah, right, of course.

Let's not start off on the wrong foot. My assignment to SVU preceded the

behavioral problems under your command.

Behavioral problems?

Trying to be polite.

Tiptoeing around the roadkill?

Where there's smoke. Who do you sleep with, Miss Cabot?

Are you so new at this that you haven't run into somebody you'd like to skip due

process with?

I'll apprise you ASAP if ASAP can be tomorrow. You understand, I have

issues. Certainly.

Breakfast, then!

Two unis and a wobbly detective from the 1 -7 were kicked over to public

affairs. Re -evaluation, thanks.

Truly. Best crime stats in 30 years and they're re -evaluating?

How it works, we get rid of the criminals they fear, they start fearing

Public hates tough cops, so they need one.

Jeffries, my office.

You told the psychologist you slept with a suspect?

What? No, that's not what I said.

Well, that's how they interpreted it.

I'm going to limit your field time. You're giving me desk duty?

You need time to prepare a formal response for the Morris Commission. I am

explaining my sex life to the Morris Commission. That's enough.

I don't like it either, Monique, but yelling at me is not going to solve

anything.

Jimmy Buffett in town?

Let's take a Maureen home from the beach.

CT uniform is fighting its fire out by Black Bank Marsh.

I stopped to help. Turns out to be a body. Gunshot wound to the head. Flames

leaping off the crotch.

My daughter sees the whole thing.

Sure, eh?

I don't know. Kathy picked her up. I was on the scene all night.

In Queens?

Mm.

Dumb job. Looks like the victim was shot in his west side apartment.

Elliot! Off to a scene, now!

You okay?

What possessed you to tell the shrink in your psych evaluation that you

fantasized about killing suspects?

Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I said perps, not suspects.

Well, the Morris Commission doesn't see a distinction.

They're inquiring.

Inquiring into what? My private thoughts?

They're supposed to be housecleaning the Department of Rogue Cops.

My job at risk?

Victim's Andrew Croft, 42.

Dump vehicle may be Alexis. DMV has one registered to this address. It's

missing. Is he packing or unpacking? He was transferred here a month ago by his

new company, Radial Velocity.

Radial Velocity? Yeah.

Edge of the envelope defense contractor?

What's he do for them?

Still on his home life. He's single, lived with his son Michael,

16. Neighbors say that they argued a lot.

Serious feng shui problem.

Neighbors hear this argument?

Everyone was out. Beach, the park.

What's the sun?

Probably an old picture. I found some books labeled MacArthur High, so I

but there's no Michael Croft registered, but the books are all barcoded.

I'll take radio velocity with Jeffries if Cregan let her out of the office.

What? Moore's commission.

Okay, what the hell's going on? Psych evaluation.

Yeah? He said I felt like killing child molesters.

Okay, so how can they have a problem with that? The commission's all cops.

Yeah. When was the last time one of them stood in a room like this?

Does this belong to Michael Croft?

This is Michael Gorin's book.

He's absent today.

He wants to speak to his guidance counselor, Ms. Scheider.

Okay, thank you.

I need a release from Michael's guardian to give you his file. Ms. Scheider,

Michael's father was murdered yesterday.

Mr. Croft? Yes.

It wasn't Michael's father.

Foster parent?

Guardian. I can see the problem with getting his signature, then. Right.

This is terrible.

What happened to Michael's parents?

I don't know.

Michael was born in Belgium. That's all that's there.

Do you have a current photo of him? No, Michael's a new student.

We don't take school pictures until homecoming.

He's an A .B. student.

He could be a straight A student if he made an effort.

Why? Is he lazy?

Withdrawn. I feel like Michael's in some pain that makes him gravitate to

troublemakers. Yeah, like who?

Primarily Jason Sloan.

What's at the beach for him, look?

It's Casual Monday.

Cops do that? Michael Gorn. You know where he is?

I don't know.

When was the last time you saw Michael?

Saturday, the day to my house. Oh, so you guys are close.

No, but he hates going home to the creep, and I've got an extra bet. What

Andrew.

Andrew was shot yesterday. He's dead.

Excellent.

But he was a bad guy. I've seen him slap Michael around.

So where's Michael now?

Didn't I say I don't know?

You don't know where he is, but you're the only friend he's got?

He has friends.

Some girl calls him from wherever.

Wherever? Yeah, wherever.

I'd love to help you do your job, but I'm a high school student.

I was Andrew Croft's supervisor.

This is Ralph Noble. Security.

It's a sad day for us.

I wish I could say more. Anyway, this is everything from Croft's office except

what's classified.

Was Mr. Croft's job classified?

He was a guidance system analyst. That's all I can say. He just transferred

here. Can't be more specific.

Who was to be notified in case of an emergency?

Detective, it's classified.

Please, the man had a son.

If something happens, who looks out for him?

It's not our concern.

Do we have to get a court order?

Well, you can try.

What are the odds you have a picture of Senator Joseph McCarthy tattooed on your

ass?

Leave the dolly in the garage.

Radio Velocity's redacted 1 ,200 pages of documents down to the occasional

adverb. There's not a complete sentence in anything Craig Prince gave us. It is

national security, John. We're looking for a murderer and the victim's missing

kid and Craig Prince has given us here's your hat. What's your hurry?

You'd think they'd want to help us catch Croft's killer instead of burying

everything under the rubric of national security.

It's too convenient. There's something else going on here.

It's Munch.

No, no, no. I want to see your spook ass now.

What do you want, Munch?

Anything I can get on a couple of missile geeks from Radio Velocity?

Who? Trent Prince.

No geeky suit.

What's his story?

We've been looking at Prince.

Why? Kickbacks.

Guy's living way beyond his paycheck.

New co -op on Center Park West. New A8 garage.

He disperses classified money.

Ralph Noble.

Head of security.

Yeah? Vietnam vet, Purple Heart.

Silver star, medal of honor. Anything else?

He was hoping for an Oscar, but he's not in show business.

Man's a war hero, Munch. Andrew Croft.

Guiding systems.

This guy's the king of the missile geeks.

But I got nothing.

We're off to the black hole.

Who does that?

D -O -D -N -S -A.

Why?

We can fire a missile off a ship in the Gulf of Oman. 20 minutes and 600 miles

later, it's entering the front door of a Hezbollah safe house in al -Bashra.

It doesn't even touch the doorframe.

Anybody can build a bomb munch, but nobody delivers them like we do.

Guidance systems, Joe.

What are we willing to pay for them?

Anything.

Erase your enemies, erase your past.

Like I said, across a black hole.

Why the interest?

Croft's dead.

Michael, his 16 -year -old ward is missing.

Prince and Noble aren't talking.

How'd Croft buy it?

Bullet to the head, Bunsen to the crotch.

Ouch. Yeah.

What's the matter? What's the matter?

Come here.

Look,

the recidivism rate for rapists and child molesters is far more onerous than

that of murderers. The public knows that. The public cares about victims'

rights.

And, uh, live victims give better sound bites than dead ones.

They vote, too.

I don't.

I used to, but, well, look at the choices.

I don't much care for city politics these days. The mollifying, the

scapegoating. That's why there's a Morris Commission.

That's why you're at SVU. I gotta tell you something.

Alex, I really don't see why I should trust you.

Captain.

I intend to stand on your shoulders to reach a broader constituency.

Why would I do anything to shorten my grasp?

Okay.

Maybe this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Our open cases.

According to the ME, Andrew Croft was killed by a .38 slug behind the left

Point blank.

Burning was post -mortem. You got a weapon?

Mm -mm. Hasn't turned up yet. But Croft owned a .38.

What about the boy?

Still missing, along with Croft's Lexus.

Maybe the kid is dead.

Why do you say that?

My contact at the G says that Croft's supervisor, Craig Prince, is being

at for kickbacks. So what?

Well, maybe Croft had evidence.

Maybe Croft was involved and they had a lethal disagreement.

Looks like a sexual homicide, John, not an assassination.

Very clever to throw us off track. Oh, God, John, I've got to hand it to you.

When you go with a theory, you really go with a theory. Well, you think this

stuff doesn't happen? No, I'm not saying that. All right, all right, hey, hey,

hey, come on. Let's just keep our heads in the game here, all right?

Now, the connection between Prince and Croft warrants further investigation.

But in the meantime, we've still got a missing kid.

And until I know otherwise, I'm going to assume he's still alive.

You guys, find the Lexus, find the boy.

Munch. Jeffries, let's find out how good this new ADA really is. We need a

search warrant for radial velocity.

You want me to secure a search warrant for the offices of a defense contractor

to search classified national security files for evidence in a sexually

motivated homicide?

Yes. You got a problem with that?

Judge Harriman, please.

This is Alex Cabot in the DA's office.

Uncle Bill.

Good. Look, I need a little favor.

You gotta be.

Kidding me. I said we should try.

You do not just barge in here without proper notice.

Read the fine print.

Now step aside or I'll have these officers restrain you.

Great, thank you.

That was the state police. We located Croft Lexus upstate Millbrook, right

outside Poughkeepsie.

Croft Chancellor from Poughkeepsie. Locals are surveilling it till we get

Great. Find something.

What? Pop it.

Nobody home.

House belongs to Richard and Darlene Sadler. They own a hardware store over

Elm Street.

Daughter, Denise.

That's a high school.

Looks like we found the girlfriend from wherever.

Denise is in her fourth period class.

We were hoping that she might be able to help us locate Michael Gorin. Leave the

Spurs home next time.

Great kid, Michael.

What do you mean locate?

We've been missing since Sunday.

Michael's not missing.

He's in our mentoring program.

Let's go, Jimmy.

Nice job.

Good job. All right, everybody. Just like Jimmy. Use the inside of your foot.

Michael.

This is about Andrew, isn't it?

Do you understand these rights?

Yes. Do you understand that you don't have to talk to us without your lawyer?

I want to talk.

Go ahead.

I killed him.

He hit me, I hit him back.

First time I did that, he went crazy. God has gone and said he was going to

me.

I tackled him, and I heard this loud pop.

When I looked down, he was laying there.

Dead.

Then what?

I wrapped him in sheets and dragged him to the car.

The next thing I knew, I was driving back home.

To Millbrook?

Yes.

Michael, what's going on?

It's nothing.

Michael?

I'm okay, Denise. It's okay. This can't be right. Not Michael.

Step back, people.

Give us a little room, please.

Michael, we're all behind you on this.

Give us a little room, please.

What are you doing?

They got a confession, made an arrest. That can all go back to radial velocity.

Too tidy.

Can't stand letting go of a theory, can you? It's not theory, Olivia.

Confession, next case. I don't buy it.

Heat of the moment murder is one thing, but taking time to set fire to the

victim's crotch? What did you call that, Elliot?

Sexually motivated homicide.

You bet.

Perpetrated by a child on a Guardian textbook, except for the little matter

the blank pages, thanks to radial velocity.

I want to know where they stand on this deal.

Me too.

You have an appointment. Look, Captain, you know, this time of day, he's got to

go to his office. It's got to be an hour drive.

Elliot, this is must -do now, all right? The good news is that he's around the

corner doing some outreach work at Christ Church. He's happy to see you

Thank you.

I'm not talking to you.

Fine.

I'll just sit here.

You know I may lose my job because of the last shrink I talked to?

Why? Because she violated her ethical obligation to keep my confidence.

If we believe a patient might do violence to someone, we're legally

I have never done violence to anyone.

Why would she think you would?

Ask her.

Detective Stabler, we've talked before.

Come on, give me the benefit of the doubt here, will you?

I'm sorry. I haven't slept a lot lately.

Why not?

I'm worried about losing my job.

Oh, I'm angry.

At?

Are we really going to do this dance again, huh? I mean, what do you want me

say? That I fantasized about killing the perp?

Did you? Yeah, you're damn right I did. And this time I fed him my gun and I

pulled that trigger.

Until I caught him. And then there he is. He's a kid. He's a...

Good kid. He tutors Down syndrome children.

He's a straight -A student.

He's a star athlete. He's Millbrook Township's favorite son.

Now, how that jives with cold -blooded murder.

How long have you been on the force?

Fourteen years.

In all those years, how many murders have actually made sense?

None.

But... Some I understood.

But this one?

You let get under your skin. Why?

This one my daughter saw.

Hey.

How'd it go? I talked too much. Again.

Where's Jefferson?

Turn on the couch.

While you were probing your inner child, we did some probing of our own, sent

Croft's prints to NCIC.

You printed the corpse?

So?

And? Nothing. So?

I mean nothing, not a bupkis. Zip, no parking tickets, no birth records.

to prove he even existed before 1991.

The year he went to work for Radial Velocity.

So we're going through the stuff we got from the search warrant. We find this

passport issued ten years ago from San Diego. We call the local PD, ask them to

run him.

Bang, we get a hit. But not to Andrew Croft.

Then who? George Kaczynski, a convicted sexual predator.

Andrew Croft, a .k .a. George Kaczynski.

Little George liked little boys.

Andrew Croft's been one busy guy.

Eleven arrests, five aliases, four convictions.

How'd you track him? San Diego PD faxed us his rap sheet, filed his priors back

from there, department by department, conviction by conviction.

Only the feds can erase a file.

Radio Velocity is the feds. That's why they call it a military -industrial

complex.

You're accusing the federal government of sanctioning the sexual abuse of a

child. Please tell me you have a motive.

Where did you find these?

That's classified.

There's only a handful of people that can calibrate the trajectory of a

to within a hair's breadth of Saddam's mustache.

Andrew Croft was one of them.

Couldn't let a little thing like pedophilia undermine national security.

The child is ruined in the process?

That's not our concern.

Detective, there are many things that take a backseat to national security.

However, if I had known Croft was a pedophile, I never would have hired him.

Right. And there were no Nazis in NASA.

Mr. Noble will see you out.

You don't talk much, do you?

Not much fight left in the old soldier, huh?

Don't you question my patriotism, mister. That's Mr. Detective to you.

Take a little bit of tarnish off that medal of honor.

We can find our own way out, thanks.

Why are you provoking him?

Guy's a war hero. He put his life on the line for principle.

He's got to be gagging Stonewall and Cross pedophilia to protect radial

velocity. Assuming he still has principles. War was a long time ago,

Principles die harder than people. I want a shot at what's left of his.

Wonder what he's doing for lunch?

My parents died in a car wreck when I was eight. The only other family

I had was Nana.

She was old and in a hospital.

Andrew offered to take care of me.

Now, you're Belgian, and Andrew's American. How did you two hook up?

Andrew used to hang out at soccer practice.

Whose soccer practice?

Mine. And this is when you were eight years old?

Yeah. He and Dad worked at NATO in Brussels.

Dad was a janitor.

He was proud to have a rocket scientist as his friend.

He said I was lucky to have such an important man take an interest in me.

How did he take an interest?

Andrew said I was a natural athlete.

Yeah, we saw your trophies.

He got me sailing lessons, tennis lessons.

My dad couldn't afford them.

After your parents died, Andrew brought you to America?

First Bosnia, Israel, then Millbrook.

I finally made some friends.

You even had a girlfriend.

Denise. Bet you weren't too happy about leaving her.

I never felt like that about anybody.

Not just her, her parents.

They felt like a real family.

Michael, did you know that in 1990, Andrew was convicted of sexually

an 11 -year -old boy?

No.

When was the first time he assaulted you?

He didn't. What are you talking about?

Well, my experience, child molesters, they don't stop.

You were a child.

He didn't touch me. Michael.

You're in a bad situation. You're safe now. You don't have to lie anymore. I'm

not lying. Michael. I'm not.

He didn't touch me.

He didn't.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. I think I got the EED defense.

Not unless your client changes his term.

Are we working for the defense now? Yeah. You don't volunteer to do hard

because you're embarrassed. This kid is hiding something.

Okay, maybe an accomplice. Maybe somebody who scares them more than an

At what point did courage and integrity buckle to income?

Don't ever get in my face about money. If I cared about money, I wouldn't have

been in the service.

What do you care about?

Protecting the reputation of a dead pedophile?

Part of national security now? I'm not protecting Croft's reputation.

What are you protecting?

Croft's missile guidance expertise was critical in the Gulf War.

You erased sodomy convictions for national security?

We didn't erase his convictions.

Oh, is there another way to say it?

Croft's felony record red -flagged him every time he crossed the border.

A day's delay was a lifetime in a war moving that fast.

So radio velocity erased his past.

We were depleting our arsenal of smart bombs at more than a million bucks a

minute. At that price, the Pentagon wanted pinpoint precision.

A complaint was filed to the State Department.

A firewall was built around Croft so immigration wouldn't red flag him.

When the war ended, the wall should have come down.

I can't tell you why it didn't. I just don't know.

Meanwhile, a convicted child molester applies for guardianship of an eight

-old and... No red flags.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

Eleven arrests.

Four convictions more than we knew about. One in Canada.

Pickable. Get me Todd Earl at justice.

Justice? We need to secure the chain of evidence.

We didn't bring this to you so you could make a federal case out of it. What

about Michael?

What about him? He's a child. A child raised by a pedophile for eight years.

was molested. He denies it.

There's no evidence here to contradict that denial.

Are you saying that he wasn't abused?

I'm certain he was.

However, absent Michael's admission, you're asking me to soft -pedal

premeditated murder. You're protecting your one -loss ratio. Elliot.

It's okay, Captain.

Detective Stabler's judgment is clouded by the stress of the Morris Commission's

review. And the fact that Michael did what he fantasizes about, kill a

perpetrator.

It's not my fantasy, and I stand with Detective Stabler on this.

The kid had choices.

He could have walked away, told a teacher, told a cop.

Instead, he murdered.

We let him skate on this. What kind of choice will he make the next time he

faces an untenable situation?

All right.

But either he corroborates the abuse, or I ask the grand jury for an indictment

on murder, too.

No.

Michael, please.

Michael.

Andrew Croft.

Abused at least 11 other children.

He's a sexual predator.

Michael, he can't hurt you now. You don't understand.

I won't.

I can't.

You're a victim. No, I'm not. I told you what happened. I will stay in jail. I

will. But please, please leave me alone.

It's murder too.

He's returning his own indictment.

I'm sorry, kid.

Dad?

What are you doing up?

I couldn't sleep.

What's the matter? You got nightmares?

You have to sleep to have nightmares.

Right. What was I thinking?

Want something to drink?

No.

Dad, what that boy Michael did to that man... That

man was supposed to take care of Michael.

Instead, he molested him.

He abused him physically. He betrayed his trust. And I think Michael...

Just had enough.

So what happens now? He's probably going to go to prison.

All he's got to do is tell the truth.

What is it with you kids?

It's hard to talk to adults.

Why?

You're always judging us.

You expect us to be like you, and you get mad if we're not.

It's just easier to talk to our friends.

What if you don't have any friends?

Everybody's got friends.

Well, who do you talk to?

Dad.

Hey, talk to Ryan Witherspoon.

More than you talk to Mom.

Could the wound have been inflicted during a struggle for the gun?

Not likely.

Why not?

The size of the entry wound, the force at which it entered, suggests close

range. But there was no stippling.

Stippling is?

When lead leaves the muzzle, it's followed by the charge that fires at the

gunpowder. At close range, it leaves a residue.

Point blank, it embeds in his skin.

That's stippling.

The size and force of the entry and the lack of stippling lead you to

conclude... The gun was three to four feet from the victim's head when it was

fired.

The victim's reach was only 32 inches. He couldn't have held the gun three feet

from his skull, much less fired it into the back of his head.

The body was discovered wrapped in a sheet.

It was blood soaked from a head wound and the genital region was on fire.

Where?

In the dunes about 50 yards off Cross Bay Boulevard, a medical bracelet on the

victim indicated he lived at West 83rd in Manhattan.

Blood splattered the headboard wall and lamp in the master bedroom.

Did the blood pattern indicate anything to you?

Yes, the victim had been shot while lying in the bed.

Any signs of a struggle?

No. Forced entry?

No.

The victim's car was missing.

State police located it in Millbrook, New York.

The murder weapon was found locked in the trunk.

Who had the keys?

Michael Gorin.

How'd it go in there?

Oh, kid's toast.

I've been thinking about something Maureen said last night, something about

friends.

What about him?

You up for taking a little ride?

Denise, how long were you seeing Michael?

What should I say? I really want to help him.

Well, you can help him by telling us the truth.

We were dating about three months.

You ever talk about Andrew?

Denise?

Did he? Please.

They didn't get along.

My dad would let Michael stay in our spare bedroom when Andrew was out of

My parents really liked him.

Sometimes Michael lied about Andrew being gone so he could stay over.

Did Andrew ever find out?

I think he knew.

Reject.

Not after that thing with Danny.

Who's Danny?

Danny Burrell, Michael's best friend. What happened?

I don't know.

But it had to be bad.

I mean, one day they're best friends, and the next day it's like they hate

other.

Yeah, front and center.

We're not friends anymore.

Why not?

Guy's weird, that's all.

What do you mean, weird how?

Just weird. Did Andrew Croft attack you?

Did Michael tell you that? Why don't you tell us about it?

Man, he's a chore.

I'm sorry, I can't talk in front of her.

Okay.

Mike and me played ball.

We went to his house afterwards to clean up.

He said that Andrew was gone, so I used the shower, and when I got out, he was

standing there.

Andrew?

Yeah. Yeah, he was naked.

He was touching himself.

He wanted to dry me off.

Creep.

Anyway, he said that Michael was...

Too swarthy, but I was perfect for him.

He grabbed me.

I fought him off. I screamed for Mike.

Then I finally got the door open, and Michael was... He was just standing

So I just grabbed my clothes and I ran.

I forgot my Nikes.

You and Michael talk after that?

Oh, no. No way. I just told the guy to leave me alone.

I think it's disgusting what he and Angela were doing.

You think Michael liked it?

Well, what do you think?

I mean, Michael's six foot, guy benches, what, 220 pounds? I mean, he could kick

his ass if he didn't like him doing them.

He was eight years old when Andrew started doing them.

Eight -year -olds can't fight back.

Can you tell me where a 16 -year -old's gonna turn when his best friend turns on

him?

You said the gun went off in the midst of a struggle?

Yes. The police found no signs of a struggle. How do you explain that?

I don't know.

It's because there was no struggle, was there?

We struggled.

Over the gun? Yeah.

And it went off?

Yeah. In both your hands? Yeah.

The coroner found no trace of gunpowder on the deceased's hands.

I told you what happened.

Who is Danny Burrell?

my friend.

Did you witness the deceased sexually assault Danny Burrell?

No.

Danny Burrell will testify the deceased sexually assaulted him and that you

witnessed it. Are you saying he's lying?

I... Did Andrew Croft sexually assault Danny Burrell?

And you too.

Since I was eight.

You shot him to stop him from molesting you. No!

I hated it.

But I was used to it.

I shot him because he was bringing over his friend.

What friend?

In Millbrook.

This guy came up sometimes.

Andrew made me do things with him.

When we moved here, I thought it was over.

Then I come home from school and he's there. We moved right across the street

from him.

Andrew was bad enough.

Both of them, I... I begged him.

Who is this man?

He'll kill me. He can't hurt you.

You don't know his powers.

Michael, you're in the custody of the city of New York. He can't get to you.

He can get to anybody.

And he willed to protect his secret.

Child molester only has power as long as his secret is kept. You tell the truth,

What's his name, Michael?

I heard them talk about it.

Nobody did anything.

Talk about what?

Who, Michael?

Andrew and...

And Craig Prince.

They killed that boy in Belgium. And nobody did anything.

When did this happen? What boy?

I was eight.

It was in the papers there.

Nobody did anything.

Craig Prince.

Get away with anything.

You can't protect me.

Hideoffs in the third quarter.

Is there anybody on this panel who doesn't share Detective Stabler's anger

horrors day after day and has the strength to keep their impulses in

Now, if you can look at these pictures and not understand that, the problem

isn't Elliot Stabler.

Hello. All right, go get the kids. Yeah. Dinner is ready.

Sure. Hey,

Captain.

Thanks for the support.

Yeah.

Well?

Morse Commission cleared me.

You're here for my job.

This is awkward.

Well, try my side in a moment.
