00:07:32,927 --> 00:07:34,053
The guy knows what he's doing.

168
00:07:34,137 --> 00:07:35,513
- It's too far away
to ID the driver,

169
00:07:35,597 --> 00:07:37,098
but the perp gets into
the passenger side.

170
00:07:37,223 --> 00:07:38,641
- Which means that
he had an accomplice.

171
00:07:38,683 --> 00:07:40,268
- Did any other cameras
pick this up?

172
00:07:40,351 --> 00:07:41,519
- No, none better than this.

173
00:07:41,644 --> 00:07:43,104
We'll put out an APB
on what we got.

174
00:07:43,229 --> 00:07:44,731
- Okay, did we get anything
back from the labs?

175
00:07:44,856 --> 00:07:46,191
- No prints on the cord
that was left behind,

176
00:07:46,316 --> 00:07:48,943
but they're pushing his blood
through CODIS.

177
00:07:48,985 --> 00:07:50,612
- Hey, where's--
where's Rollins?

178
00:07:54,616 --> 00:07:55,950
So tell me you wanna be alone

179
00:07:56,034 --> 00:07:57,368
without telling me
you wanna be alone.

180
00:07:57,494 --> 00:07:59,329
- I just needed to focus.

181
00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:01,331
- Yeah, focus
on your old cases?

182
00:08:01,414 --> 00:08:03,208
- I've got it narrowed down.

183
00:08:03,291 --> 00:08:06,920
- Based on what?
- Motive and recent releases.

184
00:08:06,961 --> 00:08:08,129
Here's Robert Watson.

185
00:08:08,171 --> 00:08:09,714
He was a fire escape
peeping Tom

186
00:08:09,797 --> 00:08:12,258
we collared few weeks ago
for the third time.

187
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:13,635
Somehow he made bail.

188
00:08:13,802 --> 00:08:15,887
Michael Simmons, a rapist
who was escalating

189
00:08:15,970 --> 00:08:17,847
when I arrested him
ten years ago.

190
00:08:17,931 --> 00:08:19,724
He was released last month.

191
00:08:19,849 --> 00:08:21,893
Then we got Bruce Ingram.

192
00:08:21,976 --> 00:08:24,646
He threatened to kill Carisi
after his arraignment.

193
00:08:24,813 --> 00:08:26,356
Um, he was just found
not guilty at trial.

194
00:08:26,481 --> 00:08:28,149
- Yeah, I remember him.

195
00:08:28,191 --> 00:08:29,651
He had a bogus alibi.
- Mm-hmm.

196
00:08:29,776 --> 00:08:32,237
- But then DNA exonerated him
in the final hour.

197
00:08:32,362 --> 00:08:34,864
- Could still hold a grudge,
so I figured I'll run 'em down,

198
00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:36,658
uh, rule 'em out
with their voices.

199
00:08:36,741 --> 00:08:39,452
- Yeah, okay, so, uh, we knew
that the review of the shooting

200
00:08:39,577 --> 00:08:41,079
would come back clean.
- Yeah.

201
00:08:41,204 --> 00:08:43,122
- But you still need
to clear psych.

202
00:08:43,206 --> 00:08:45,834
- Yeah, but look, Bruno's out,
you know, for a funeral.

203
00:08:45,875 --> 00:08:47,168
We're down a man,
so I just figured--

204
00:08:47,293 --> 00:08:48,586
- You figured--figured what?

205
00:08:48,711 --> 00:08:52,090
You figured I'd just
let you skip that part?

206
00:08:52,131 --> 00:08:54,300
No, that's--that's--
it's just not good for anyone.

207
00:08:54,425 --> 00:08:58,972
Plus, Tynan, uh,
is expediting your appointment.

208
00:08:59,055 --> 00:09:00,431
- Great.
- Yeah.

209
00:09:00,515 --> 00:09:02,142
- All right, so the quicker
it's done, the better.

210
00:09:02,225 --> 00:09:06,271
- Yeah, the quicker you talk
to someone, the better.

211
00:09:06,396 --> 00:09:11,442
Because, if you don't,
it'll only get worse.

212
00:09:11,568 --> 00:09:14,612
In the meantime,
I'll have Curry and Griffin...

213
00:09:14,696 --> 00:09:16,406
[taps table]
Pay these three a visit.

214
00:09:19,534 --> 00:09:20,618
- Talk to my attorney.

215
00:09:20,702 --> 00:09:21,870
- Not the best way to start,
Bruce.

216
00:09:21,911 --> 00:09:23,121
- But they found me not guilty.

217
00:09:23,204 --> 00:09:24,247
Can't you people
just leave me alone?

218
00:09:24,372 --> 00:09:25,790
- This isn't about that case.

219
00:09:25,915 --> 00:09:28,334
It's about Assistant
District Attorney Carisi.

220
00:09:28,418 --> 00:09:30,461
- Never heard of him.
- No?

221
00:09:30,503 --> 00:09:31,921
Well, he's the prosecutor
that you threatened to kill

222
00:09:32,046 --> 00:09:33,214
after your arraignment.

223
00:09:33,298 --> 00:09:34,841
Or does that not
ring any bells?

224
00:09:34,924 --> 00:09:36,176
- What about him?

225
00:09:36,259 --> 00:09:37,927
- He and his wife were attacked
last night.

226
00:09:38,011 --> 00:09:39,721
- It's got nothing
to do with me.

227
00:09:39,846 --> 00:09:43,308
- So threatening to kill him
was what, a hilarious joke?

228
00:09:43,349 --> 00:09:45,059
- I was mad.

229
00:09:45,143 --> 00:09:47,187
Cops accused me
of hurting that girl.

230
00:09:47,312 --> 00:09:48,563
That prosecutor tried
to seal the deal.

231
00:09:48,646 --> 00:09:49,606
He ruined my life.

232
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:51,441
- Sounds like motive.

233
00:09:51,566 --> 00:09:52,817
- You already got my DNA.

234
00:09:52,859 --> 00:09:54,652
- Yeah, we do.

235
00:09:54,736 --> 00:09:56,446
But if you want me out
of your hair faster,

236
00:09:56,488 --> 00:09:58,531
give me a voice recording
and an alibi.

237
00:10:00,074 --> 00:10:02,368
- I was here working.

238
00:10:02,494 --> 00:10:05,288
And I did my time.
Don't I get a second chance?

239
00:10:05,371 --> 00:10:06,956
- Yeah, looks like
you're living it.

240
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,084
- [scoffs]
Only place that would hire me.

241
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:12,629
It's better than being locked
up like some caged animal.

242
00:10:12,670 --> 00:10:15,381
- Well, ten years, oof,
it's a long time.

243
00:10:15,507 --> 00:10:18,301
Maybe long enough to want
Sergeant Rollins dead.

244
00:10:20,887 --> 00:10:21,846
- She's dead?

245
00:10:21,930 --> 00:10:25,058
- No, but someone tried.

246
00:10:25,141 --> 00:10:28,228
And it looks like that
doesn't surprise you.

247
00:10:28,311 --> 00:10:30,188
- I didn't do it.

248
00:10:30,271 --> 00:10:31,648
But you hear things
on the inside.

249
00:10:31,731 --> 00:10:33,191
I'm not the only one
she put away.

250
00:10:33,316 --> 00:10:35,318
- Anyone who's capable
of doing this?

251
00:10:35,443 --> 00:10:36,611
- None I'd be willing to say.

252
00:10:36,778 --> 00:10:38,071
- Hey.

253
00:10:38,196 --> 00:10:40,073
You like being out
of the cage, right?

254
00:10:42,325 --> 00:10:46,704
Let's keep it that way.
Give me names and your voice.

255
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:51,042
- Shoot, and Counselor Carisi
dies, Sergeant Rollins.

256
00:10:51,167 --> 00:10:52,043
- It's not them.
- Are you sure?

257
00:10:52,085 --> 00:10:54,212
- No, I'm positive.

258
00:10:54,295 --> 00:10:56,047
Anything on the names
that Simmons gave us?

259
00:10:56,089 --> 00:10:58,174
- Griffin checked them out.
They're all still in prison.

260
00:10:58,258 --> 00:11:00,718
- Okay, and did we talk
to Robert Watson?

261
00:11:00,844 --> 00:11:02,720
- Talked to his parole officer.

262
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:05,014
Watson was in Central Booking
at the time of the attack.

263
00:11:05,140 --> 00:11:05,932
- Still nothing
on the blue Honda?

264
00:11:06,057 --> 00:11:07,392
- Not yet.

265
00:11:07,475 --> 00:11:08,601
I mean, my guess is,
they either ditched it

266
00:11:08,768 --> 00:11:09,936
or they're laying low
somewhere.

267
00:11:09,978 --> 00:11:11,563
- Or they uncovered the plates

268
00:11:11,646 --> 00:11:13,106
and they're halfway
to the Midwest right now

269
00:11:13,148 --> 00:11:14,357
and we are back to square one.

270
00:11:14,524 --> 00:11:15,483
[knock at door]

271
00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:16,776
- Okay.
- Yeah.

272
00:11:16,860 --> 00:11:18,319
- Perp's blood came back
from the lab.

273
00:11:18,444 --> 00:11:21,197
Matched an attempted murder
from a week ago in Brooklyn.

274
00:11:21,322 --> 00:11:23,867
Vic's name, Diana Vitale, 62.

275
00:11:23,908 --> 00:11:25,201
Neighbor found her tied up
with a cord.

276
00:11:25,243 --> 00:11:27,829
Multiple stab wounds--
- Wait, I know that name.

277
00:11:27,912 --> 00:11:29,622
Diana Vitale.
She's a court reporter.

278
00:11:29,706 --> 00:11:30,915
She's retired now,

279
00:11:30,999 --> 00:11:32,250
but she worked a lot of trials
with Carisi.

280
00:11:32,333 --> 00:11:33,918
- Brooklyn Homicide
get any leads?

281
00:11:34,002 --> 00:11:35,336
- Not yet, no.
But Vitale survived.

282
00:11:35,420 --> 00:11:36,337
She's still in the hospital.

283
00:11:36,421 --> 00:11:37,463
- Great, I'll talk to her.

284
00:11:37,547 --> 00:11:39,090
- I can--

285
00:11:39,132 --> 00:11:42,343
- Amanda, you still need
to get to your psych eval.

286
00:11:42,427 --> 00:11:44,596
You gotta do it.
- Yeah.

287
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,431
Thanks.

288
00:11:46,473 --> 00:11:49,934
[tense music]

289
00:11:49,976 --> 00:11:51,978
- Diana Vitale.

290
00:11:52,103 --> 00:11:54,147
A stab in the back
that led to paralysis.

291
00:11:54,189 --> 00:11:56,399
Two more to the abdomen, one
of which punctured her stomach.

292
00:11:56,524 --> 00:11:58,776
Led to sepsis
we couldn't control.

293
00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:00,778
She was one of yours?

294
00:12:00,862 --> 00:12:02,697
- She is now.

295
00:12:11,581 --> 00:12:12,373
[door squeaks]

296
00:12:09,832 --> 00:12:10,750
- Ready, Amanda?

297
00:12:15,166 --> 00:12:16,631
- You come out of retirement
just for me?

298
00:12:16,756 --> 00:12:18,090
- [chuckles]
- [sighs]

299
00:12:18,174 --> 00:12:20,218
- I still fill in
from time to time,

300
00:12:20,259 --> 00:12:22,887
especially at Olivia's request.

301
00:12:29,894 --> 00:12:32,647
- Uh, yeah,
so I'm sleeping fine.

302
00:12:32,730 --> 00:12:34,607
There's no insomnia,
no nightmares.

303
00:12:34,732 --> 00:12:36,776
- Any re-experiencing?

304
00:12:36,901 --> 00:12:39,195
- A little.
- What crosses your mind?

305
00:12:39,278 --> 00:12:41,113
- What I would have
done differently.

306
00:12:41,197 --> 00:12:43,157
What--what--

307
00:12:43,241 --> 00:12:46,494
could have happened
if my kids were home.

308
00:12:46,577 --> 00:12:48,329
- When you go to that place,
how do you feel?

309
00:12:48,412 --> 00:12:50,039
- Angry.

310
00:12:53,167 --> 00:12:54,669
Powerless.

311
00:12:54,794 --> 00:12:58,297
But after that, um,
you know, I feel focused.

312
00:12:58,422 --> 00:12:59,841
- So I've heard.

313
00:12:59,966 --> 00:13:02,552
Benson tells me
you've hit the ground running.

314
00:13:02,593 --> 00:13:03,928
- What else does she tell you?

315
00:13:03,970 --> 00:13:08,724
- She told me
you returned recently to SVU.

316
00:13:08,808 --> 00:13:13,187
Before that, a stint at Intel,
professor at Fordham.

317
00:13:13,271 --> 00:13:15,731
You like to move around.

318
00:13:15,857 --> 00:13:17,150
- I don't see how
that's relevant.

319
00:13:20,862 --> 00:13:22,822
- I'm not trying to trick you,
Amanda.

320
00:13:22,905 --> 00:13:24,073
You and I both know

321
00:13:24,157 --> 00:13:25,491
that you'll come up
with a good answer

322
00:13:25,616 --> 00:13:27,243
for every question
that I ask you,

323
00:13:27,285 --> 00:13:30,037
