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.

Theo! Theo! Stop playing
with the birthday presents.

Henry, hold still.
Mom, that hurts.

Theo... Theo, it's not your
birthday. You're gonna break that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You've got more on your face
than in your tummy.

I want another
piece of cake.

Oh, yeah? We'll see, puppy.

Theo? Theo! Theo!

Theodore!
I'm right here. Stop yelling.

I have told you a million times
not to disappear like that.

You said don't play with the
birthday presents. I'm not.

Sure.

Henry? Where'd he go?

I don't know.
Henry?

Henry! Henry!

18 is sending manpower
to canvass.

There's four birthday parties going
on, a couple hundred kids and parents.

Nobody saw Henry Morton
wander off.

Well, whoever took him
knew how to be invisible.

The parents rent the party
section. There is public access

but the employees
have all been accounted for.

Picture from mom's wallet.

Now, we're covered from
23rd Street

down to Tenth, Second Avenue
to Broadway.

Print up flyers.
Mom remember anything else?

No, she's too upset.
EMS took her to St. Vincent's.

Her husband's with her now.

Send Munch to get a statement
as soon as she calms down.

Sighting, lower Broadway.

Benson, SVU. Description?
No, he has brown hair. Thanks.

Kid left alone, blond hair
and khakis.

Security tape's up.
I got Henry.

Okay, here's Henry with
Mom. She's coming toward us.

She's looking
for the older kid.

Henry's right there with
the yellow balloon.

Henry comes down the aisle,
he's still got the balloon,

rounds the corner,
keeps going, going...

Gone. There's the balloon on the floor.

The kid was out of camera
range five seconds.

Okay, what about the cameras
at the front door?

Nothing. Must have went
out the back.

Looks like we got ourselves
one smart perv.

So smart that he's got his
eyes on the kid and the cameras.

Go away, Wolinsky. That's no
way to treat a concerned citizen.

You gotta stop listening to that
police scanner and get a life.

Just trying to pick
up the slack for you guys.

It's Sunday. Take the day off,
go to church.

Malcolm Wolinsky, Association
for the Protection of Children.

I know who you are.
Get lost.

Me and my group, we have a legal
right to investigate and make arrests.

Last time you almost
cost us the conviction.

Your daughter was molested,
you'd want our help.

Officers, escort these
gentlemen behind the barricade.

They cause any trouble,
collar them.

Arrest us? For what?
Obstruction.

He was dragging the boy down
the street. He had wavy red hair.

The man or the boy? The
father. The boy had brown hair.

I thought he was throwing
a temper tantrum.

Mrs. Lewis saw the guy force the kid
into a red jacket and a blue baseball cap.

I'll get out a description
of the new clothes.

Hey, did you see where they went? Subway.

The kid was screaming
his lungs out.

Sure I remember him.
I was just clocking in.

Kid was fighting
and kicking.

His dad was trying to buy a
MetroCard out of that machine.

Did he use paper or plastic?
Machine's busted. Only takes plastic.

We got him. What time did
you start work this morning?

1:00. It's Stabler. I need Transit Bureau

to run a guy's credit card
and address.

I want my mom!
You're not my mom!

Shut up! You do what
I tell you.

Hit it!

Let me go!

Jeffrey Jackson!
What the hell's going on?

Jeffrey Jackson, get away
from the boy, stand over here.

Step over here, sweetheart.

It's okay, Henry.
It's okay.

Henry? Who's Henry?

Elliot.

It's not him.
He's my stepson.

I want all your badge numbers.
I'm gonna sue your asses off.

Henry Morton's been missing
for three hours

and we've been chasing the
wrong kid. What else we got?

Mom wasn't much help. Her husband
took her up to Riverdale an hour ago.

Liv and I'll go out there. John,
Fin, you coordinate the search.

Okay, get us something
with the kid's scent on it.

I'll turn it into K-9
as soon as we get the sample.

We gotta get a new picture of Henry.
The photo we've got is a year old.

Is that Henry's most
recent picture?

This was taken six weeks ago.
It looks more like him.

Here. Update the flyers.

Did you find something
for the bloodhounds?

Yes, Henry's socks,
in the dirty laundry.

This gonna be enough?
Yeah, that should be fine.

We'd like to ask your wife
a few more questions.

I gave her a sedative
so she could sleep.

I'm a psychiatrist.

Any patients with a grudge?
No one's made any threats.

How about violence
against children?

No, just your
garden-variety neurotics.

Detectives, we've been
canvassing the neighbors.

Kid next door saw a guy
hanging around this morning.

I was in our driveway
fixing my skateboard.

Henry was playing
in his yard.

The man was in a car
parked over there.

Did you happen to notice
what he was wearing?

A baseball cap and sunglasses.
He was watching Henry.

Was the man black, white, young, old? White.

Can you describe the car?

It looked like the Toyota
my mom used to drive.

What color?
Black.

Did you get a look at the
license plate number or the state?

I didn't look.

I'm sorry, Dr. Morton.

I wish I'd told my mom
this morning.

It's okay, Jake,
you're helping us now. Thanks.

Jake, listen...

I know the research
on pedophiles.

What's the chance my son is still
alive? You can't lose hope now.

Now, we're gonna get Jake's
description of the man out on the air,

we'll run the car and we'll
get these to the K-9 unit.

Where are these bloodhounds?
Coming in from Coney Island.

Another lost kid.
ETA's an hour.

We're gonna lose the light
and the scent trail.

Search team just found this in the
gutter six blocks from the party place.

Same size and brand
that Henry was wearing.

We need those dogs. I'm not
gonna stand around here waiting

with my thumb up my ass.

Maybe the Sex Offender Unit
got a hit on the car, huh?

Your witness said an old
black Toyota.

Best I've got is a '95 Honda,
dark blue. I'll take it.

I went back 10 years. We could
go further but this is a good hit.

Billy Turner?

Cases preschool playgrounds,
picks a kid,

waits for the parents
to show up, follows them home.

Now, our missing kid goes to
a preschool on the East Side.

Parole photo.

Last time Billy took a collar, he
drove all the way up to Hastings,

grabbed a kid and fondled
him in his car.

Got out two months ago.
These pervs just never stop.

Now, it says he has
an apartment on Avenue B.

Car's not registered in
his name? Belongs to Mom.

You worked Billy's case. Any idea
where he might have taken the kid?

He works nights at a plating shop,
closed on Sunday. Could be there.

Have the sector car check out
that shop. Me and my partner

are gonna hit his apartment.
Thank you.

I'll beat it out of you, you son
of a bitch! Please! Don't hurt me!

I don't know!
Tell me where he is!

Where is he?
I don't know!

Wolinsky! Step away
from him! Now!

What the hell are you doing
here? Looking for the kid.

Where's Henry? I don't know.
I told this crazy bastard.

Where did you stash him? It
wasn't me, I swear. I'm cured.

Officers, take him, put him in
the car. Wait outside for CSU.

How'd you find out about Billy?
Yeah, I heard you were looking for him

on the police radio...
You are done with this.

Do you understand me?
You are done with this.

Right after I file a complaint
for police brutality!

You're lucky I don't charge
you with assault!

I didn't touch
the baby-raper!

You trashed this apartment.
If Henry Morton was here,

that means that you
destroyed a crime scene.

You interfere again,
you're doing time.

You take that perv scum's
side over me?

I don't take anybody's side. Get out of here.

I never heard of this kid.

I wasn't there.

I don't have those urges
anymore. We know. You're cured.

I told you, I was
at the Laundromat.

All morning? You must
have had a lot of clothes.

His name is Henry.
He's five years old.

Same age as that boy you played
doctor with up in Hastings.

What's the matter, Billy?
Don't you want to look?

I know you like to look.
My shrink says I can't.

Yeah, but you want to.

There ain't no doctor ever gonna
put out that sick fire, huh?

Where's your car, Billy?
I don't have one.

Oh, that's right. It's
your mama's Honda.

Does she know what
you do in that car?

Does she know that you
take little boys for rides?

I don't do that anymore. Really?
'Cause I called your mama...

No.... and she says
that you borrowed the car

and you didn't
bring it back.

It was stolen.
Or you dumped it,

because it was soaked
with Henry's blood.

Yeah, your mama's going
to be very disappointed

when she finds out that you're
back to your old tricks again.

You leave my mom
out of this!

We will, as soon as
you tell us where Henry is.

I don't know him.

A witness saw you in your car outside
that little boy's house this morning.

You don't know him?

Billy, it's gonna be better for everybody
if you just tell us the truth now.

Fin just called.
K-9 has a scent.

Those bloodhounds are gonna
find that boy, Billy.

You son of a bitch,
they better find him alive.

She picked up Henry's
scent at the party place

and been taking us north
ever since.

This pooch is cool. We gave her
the sock, went right to work.

Going inside, Bridey-girl? I
don't want her off the leash.

You.
Pull her back a little.

Yeah, girl, we're gonna
let you in.

Call an ambulance.

Not yet, Elliot.
Call an ambulance!

This is it.

Henry.

Dr. Warner will
ask you to make a positive ID.

Will we recognize him?
Yes.

I can't do this.

It's okay, honey.
I'll do it.

Are you ready?
Yes.

That's my son.

Was... Was he molested?
No.

Cause of death?

Suffocation. I found small
pebbles lodged in his trachea.

To silence him.

What else?
Brown animal hairs.

Do you have a cat, Dr. Morton? No.

Henry's allergic.

I sent the pebbles
and hairs to the lab.

CSU is checking the apartment
for matches. Apartment?

Whose apartment? You have
a suspect? Dr. Morton,

as soon as we make an arrest I promise
you you'll be the first to know.

I can handle it.
But your wife can't.

I think she needs you.
Come on.

I'm holding you
to that promise.

You call me the second you get
the bastard who murdered my son.

Sorry, I blew it.
I said too much.

Can't blame you. I've never
seen a dad that composed.

The guy is a time bomb.

He keeps holding it in,
he's gonna explode.

Let's go.
Where?

Back to Billy's apartment.
Crime Scene's got it covered.

Let's make sure.

Cat hair, you can tell
by the barb. Brown.

Where's the cat?
No sign of it.

No litter box,
no cat food.

Billy gets worried about transfer
evidence and he dumps the cat, too?

You check the incinerator?
And the dumpster and the alley.

What about the rocks?

Combed the rugs, checked
the soles of all his shoes.

You vacuum it?

No, we tweezed looking for
all your damn cat hairs.

If the pebbles were here,
we would've found them.

That was Munch.

Billy's car was found
stripped and torched.

Let's bring Jake O'Hara
in for a line-up.

Just take your time,
Jake, there's no hurry.

I think...
I think number three.

Jake, are you sure?

Or maybe two.

Okay, well, just take a look at all of
them. Take a good look and just focus.

They all kinda look
the same, but...

Three's the closest.

That's great, Jake. Thanks. I'll
take you back to your mom. Come on.

Not bad.
It's not good.

You know as well as I do any lawyer
can shred that ID on the stand.

The cat hairs are gonna match. But
it's still not enough for an indictment.

Break him or we got
to cut him loose.

Our witness picked you out,
Billy. Your witness is wrong!

Cat hairs on the boy,
cat hairs in your apartment.

I don't have a cat.

The landlady's cat wanders in
and out! I don't want to hear

about your landlady anymore!
It's over!

Now, you stalked that
little boy, you snatched him,

and you got into his pants and
then you wanted to keep him quiet

so you shoved rocks down his
throat till he choked to death.

I never killed anyone.

Only touched.

Maybe I did something
I shouldn't have.

Like what, Billy?
Like what?

If I violate my parole,
they'll send me back inside.

I don't wanna go back.
Okay.

That's why I didn't tell you.

I could talk to your parole
officer, make sure that...

They'll send me back.

I'll get raped
every single day.

I'm gonna make sure that
that doesn't happen to you,

but you have got
to tell me where you were.

I'm not allowed
to be alone with kids.

But she asked me.
Who asked you?

She needed me to baby-sit
her little boy.

The lady
who lives next door.

Billy's neighbor didn't
ask him. He volunteered.

How old is the kid? Five. He
said Billy never touched him.

Well, what about the mother?
She confirmed Billy's story,

left at 8:30, got back
to the apartment at 11:30.

Could Billy have left the kid alone
for an hour and then come back?

No, the boy says Billy was
with him the whole three hours.

Okay, so your witness puts Billy
outside the Morton home in Riverdale

at 8:00 a. m.

But Billy's alibi puts him
back on Avenue B at 8:30.

Tight, but doable.

Then he's gotta get back to Riverdale
to follow Henry into the birthday party.

Henry's mom says they left
the house no later than 11:45.

And Billy didn't finish his
baby-sitting gig in Manhattan till 11:30.

Well, there's no way he got
to Riverdale in 15 minutes,

not even on a Sunday.

We got the wrong guy.

It looks that way.

Lab says cat hairs from Billy's apartment
don't match the ones on Henry Morton.

We've got to let Billy go.
We keep him here much longer,

we're gonna have
one hell of a lawsuit.

I'll tell the perv
he's going home.

We have a right
to keep our kids safe.

What the hell is this?

They shouldn't be left...

Pervert out! Pervert out!
Wolinsky! You need a permit

for the bullhorn and to be on the
street. Now, move it onto the sidewalk.

This is a peaceful protest.

Do we want a pervert in
this neighborhood? No!

We want him out! Last chance,
Wolinsky. Break it up now.

We want the perv gone.
Let's get him now!

All right, you're under arrest
for inciting to riot.

Surround him with your guys,
get him into the building.

You have the right
to remain silent...

Wait until parole gets here.

Benson.
Bring this guy to our squad.

Thanks for
making me a hero.

Yeah, we're on our way.
Elliot, we gotta go.

Forensic geologist ID'd the
pebbles in Henry's trachea.

Colorado quartz,
not indigenous to this area.

So they could be from the
alley where the body was found.

I checked. Didn't find any.

So, you're saying the perp
brought them in from out of state?

What I'm saying is the perp
isn't who you think it is.

We dusted the pebbles. The stone's
porous. We got perfect prints.

And they're not Billy
Turner's. Or any other adult's.

The fingers are too small.
Has to be a child's.

So, Henry's.
Nope. Don't match.

You have those pebbles?

Look familiar?
Just like the ones

from that neighbor boy's
front yard. Jake O'Hara.

No wonder the kid was
such a good witness.

If we are gonna charge a
13-year-old with Henry's murder,

we'd better have
a smoking gun.

We do. The stones in Henry's throat.
They were from Jake's front yard.

The prints are gonna be his.
I bet if we go back

to the party security tapes,
we're gonna see Jake.

We weren't looking for a kid.
What about that man that Jake saw?

Well, he must have
made that up.

But Jake O'Hara picked
Billy Turner out of a line-up.

How could he have possibly
known Billy was a pedophile?

I don't know.

All right, then let's not hardball
the kid till we get some answers.

We can't afford to make
the same mistake twice.

I thought my son answered
all your questions.

We just have to follow
up on a few things.

Jake, this man that you
picked out of the line-up...

You mean the guy
who killed Henry?

Actually, he didn't do it.

I told you I wasn't sure.

It's okay, honey.
You did your best.

I guess it was Number Two
after all.

No, Jake, Number Two
is an off-duty cop.

I'm sorry, they all looked
alike with those sunglasses.

I only saw the picture
for a minute.

What picture?

The guy you wanted
me to pick out.

You never saw the man.

Well, I did, but

I told the other detective I
wasn't sure I'd recognize him again.

That's when he showed
me the picture.

What other detective?
What was his name?

I don't remember. Do you
remember what he looked like?

He was kind of bald
and he had a mustache.

I'll be right back.

So what else
did this detective say to you?

This is absurd. Don't you
people talk to each other?

He just asked me some questions.
Can you remember any of them?

The same stuff you
guys asked me.

Hey, that's him.

Excuse me.

Detective, can I have
a word with you?

What're you doing?
What are you, crazy?

You send me on a wild
goose chase, waste my time...

I was trying to help you guys.

You contaminated evidence,
you tell that kid you're a cop

to get him to make a false ID...
You got the perv, didn't you?

Wrong perv.
But I tell you what.

Where you're going, you'll
be meeting plenty of them.

What's going on here?

What's going on, Mrs. O'Hara, is
Jake identified a man he never saw.

You made it all up,
didn't you, Jake?

I did what that detective
told me to do.

I'm sure it was
a misunderstanding.

Well, there's a few other
things that we don't understand.

Like why Henry was
covered up in cat hair.

Or how these stones
from your yard

were found in his throat.

Henry must have picked
them up.

Sweetheart? What are
they talking about?

I don't know, Mom. I swear.

Sure you do, Jake.

You knew that Henry's mom was
taking him to the birthday party.

People saw you there.

They also saw you
on the subway.

And you want to know
what else?

The fingerprints on these
little stones

are gonna match

the ones on your soda can.

I... I was scared.

Henry saw me chasing
Mrs. Brody's cat

and I fell on it and it died.

And Henry said
I killed the cat

and he was gonna tell on me.

I didn't want to go back
to that camp,

but I knew you'd send me if
you thought I'd killed the cat.

Honey, I never would
have done that.

You would,
I knew you would.

That's why I had to stop him.

I just wanted to talk to him
but he kept saying he'd tell.

I didn't mean to do it,
I was just so scared.

This is my fault because I sent
Jake to that camp a month ago.

What camp?
It's a tough-love place.

They were supposed to help him.
Look at what they did to me!

They burned me and they cut me

and they stuck things in me.

I'd rather be dead than
go back there.

The other children
tortured him.

If my son has done
anything wrong,

it's because of what
they put him through.

Mrs. O'Hara, we still have
to place Jake under arrest.

I'm calling a lawyer.

Jake killed Henry?

But he loves our boys.

He... He taught them to throw a
Frisbee, he helped them build a fort

in the back yard.
He confessed, Dr. Morton.

I can't believe this.

Did you know that his mother
sent him to a boot camp?

Yes, yes. Since Jake's father
died, he's been acting out.

Leslie was overwhelmed. I
recommended a place up in Rhinebeck.

Why, what... It looks like
he was brutalized up there.

Leslie never said anything to
me. What did they do to him?

Jake said he was sodomized
and he showed us some scars

where the other kids
had burned him.

I need to see Jake.

Please.

I'll hear the People on bail.

The People request $500,000,
Your Honor.

He's a child. I'd argue for house
arrest with an ankle bracelet.

And I'd be comfortable
with a little more security.

The bail is set at $200,000,
cash or bond.

Let's take 10, everybody. Casey.

This is Brett Morton,
Henry's father.

I'm very sorry.

Can I speak with Jake?

Cleo? Can we have
a minute please?

Dr. Morton, I'm so sorry.

Henry was my friend.
I know, Jake.

Why did you do it?

I don't know.

Something's wrong with me.

Jake...

What did Henry say
before he died?

He said he wanted his mommy.

What's going to happen to him?
Without a plea bargain,

he'll stand trial
and go to prison.

He's a juvenile,
he'll be out at 18.

Dr. Morton, we're trying
Jake as an adult.

No.

I lost a child and
I know one thing.

It's wrong to lose another
child to a life in prison.

As a parent, I can't imagine
what you're going through.

Well, putting Jake
in jail isn't justice.

And sending him to that camp doesn't
make you responsible for what he did.

Jake's had a hard life.

What he did isn't
entirely his fault.

And that evidence will
be introduced at trial.

I'm sure you have
the best intentions.

But you're wrong.

Well, maybe I am wrong.

Brett Morton is caught between
his anger and his guilt.

Why, just because
he recommended that camp?

He feels responsible. He feels that
if Jake hadn't been abused there,

Jake wouldn't have killed
Henry. And what do you think?

Jake suffered there, you know? He was burned,

he was possibly raped... Yeah,
well, lots of kids are traumatized.

They don't go out and kill other kids.
Every time they shoot up a school,

they say it's because they were
bullied. Sometimes they were.

And the question is whether that's
the reason why Jake killed Henry.

Okay, what do you know about
this camp? Rhinebeck Survival?

No incidents of hazing
or torture that I've heard of.

Well, none that
you've heard of.

The director is a psychiatrist
named Burt Gleason.

I'm sure
he'll talk to us.

We should never have admitted
Jake in the first place.

He's a very disturbed child.

Isn't that what this camp
is for, Dr. Gleason?

Children with behavioral problems,
yes. Not kids with serious pathology.

Which the abuse here
made worse.

You mean the accusations Jake
made against his bunkmates.

From what Jake says, those kids
are the ones with serious pathology.

Judge for yourself. I'll
arrange for you to talk to them.

He's sick, man. He's crazy.
Jake said you helped torture him.

We did it to him?

Second day he's here, we're
down at the lake, he sneaks up,

whacks me on the head
with a boat paddle.

I almost drowned.

Maybe he was just goofing
around. You don't get it.

He held my head underwater.
He wanted me to die.

When he finally let go, he said,
"Don't tell anybody or else. "

Or else what?

Or else he'd kill me.

Are you sure
he was serious?

Jake wasn't kidding.
That psycho would do it.

I told Dr. Gleason.
What happened?

Dr. Gleason wouldn't
believe me.

Next night I find a dead
gopher in my bed.

Only guy around here sick enough
to break a gopher's neck is...

Jake, he's the only one.

You look like you could
take care of yourself.

Couldn't till I started
working out.

I did it 'cause I was
afraid of him.

Why?
'Cause he's nuts, man.

He would always say,
"Oh, let's see who's tougher. "

He'd take off his shirt,

put his arm next to mine, put
a lit cigarette in between.

Jake says you burned him.
I ain't no psycho.

Jake would stand there, hold a match in
his fingers till his skin went on fire.

You could smell it
and he'd just laugh.

That dude is crazy.

Jake O'Hara burned himself?

The camp's director tried
to explain to Jake's mother

that he should be
institutionalized.

She didn't believe him, she threatened
a lawsuit and then she took Jake home.

He was thrown out of two
private schools in Brooklyn

for violent behavior and arson. His
mom had to move him to Riverdale.

The kid's a sociopath.

He's only 13. Well, he has
all the classic symptoms.

He's glib, he lies, he has no
remorse, no empathy, he's narcissistic

and he's extremely manipulative.
He fooled both of us.

Even Brett Morton,
and he's also a psychiatrist.

He lives right next door. He never
saw how devious Jake really is.

If the boy is mentally ill,
we'll send him to a hospital.

Sociopathy is
a personality disorder.

A lot of shrinks believe
there's no cure.

What do you believe?

You can't grow a conscience.

Jake knew what he was doing
was wrong and didn't care.

It's the right decision
to try him as an adult.

It's too late.
Why?

Dr. Morton came to see
me this morning.

He begged me to send Jake to
Family Court, so I moved it.

Case is being heard
right now.

The minor will be released
into the custody of his mother.

Fact-finding will begin
tomorrow at 11:00.

Initial reports in my
chamber today.

I'm very sorry to interrupt, Your
Honor, but we've made a mistake.

That's refreshing. I don't
often hear that in my courtroom.

The District Attorney's office
has reconsidered our decision

to try Jake O'Hara in Family Court.
We request that the case be moved

to Supreme Court for trial as
an adult. Hearings have begun,

jeopardy is attached. If I
dismiss now, the case is over.

These are highly unusual
circumstances.

Jake O'Hara lied about his abuse.
All his injuries are self-inflicted.

What are you saying?
Dr. Morton...

We interviewed witnesses at the camp.
They all told us Jake burned himself.

This case must be moved,
Your Honor. I believed you.

I fought for you. Dr. Morton, sit down.

You lying little bastard...

The court officer will remove
Dr. Morton from this courtroom.

You should rot in hell!

Let's go before she locks
you up. You bet I will.

Get him out of here. You
monster! You murdered my son!

I don't believe this
is happening.

I can't breathe. Let's go
outside and get some air.

Relax.
Do you understand?

Jake will get out
when he's 18.

He's a sociopath.
He will kill again.

And again and again...

I'm sorry for what happened,
sir, I really am.

You're not sorry. You
don't know what sorry means.

You have no feelings.

Leave my son alone.

Hey!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, no...

I knew the guy was
wound too tight.

I should've seen it coming.

You didn't know Morton
would shoot him.

We all thought Jake
was a victim.

The kid snowed everyone.

Elliot.

Jake's dead.

He never made it out
of surgery.

Olivia. Don't.

How could you let this happen?
You've got some nerve, lady.

That kid was killed because
you sent him to Family Court.

I didn't stand there and
watch Brett Morton grab a gun.

You sure as hell put
it in his hand.

What, you didn't want to
say no to a grieving father?

You afraid the press would
call you a cold-hearted bitch?

You two want to blame
each other, go ahead.

But I have a job to do. What's
our decision on Dr. Morton?

Charge him. Murder two.

His son was killed by a
psychopath who was gonna walk.

And that gives him
the right to kill a kid?

I want him arraigned
by tomorrow morning.

Are you just gonna cover her ass?
Just sweep it all under the carpet?

My job is not to protect my
boss. Then do the right thing.

You saw Morton.
The guy was out of his mind.

It's not murder two,
it's manslaughter.

How's Jake?
He died in surgery.

What have I done? You
were out of control, Brett.

You didn't know what
you were doing.

If this isn't extreme
emotional disturbance,

I don't know what it is.

So you're going for an affirmative
defense. What do you want?

Man two, minimum time.

I have a better idea. Why don't
we just throw him a parade?

I don't like your tone.

Yeah, well, I don't like 13-year-olds
being shot to death in the courthouse.

Do you think I meant
to do it?

You grabbed the court officer's
gun and pulled the trigger.

I don't remember any of it.
I just snapped.

Now, that's convenient. No, that's
extreme emotional disturbance.

You'll have to forgive me if I
don't take your client's word for it.

Fine. Have your psychiatrist
examine him.

Do you recall your state of
mind after you shouted at Jake?

I walked out
of the courtroom.

Nothing seemed real.

Detective Stabler
was talking.

I couldn't understand
what he was saying.

And then what's the next thing
that you remember happening?

Jake lying on the floor.

Blood everywhere.

The smell from the gun.

My heart beating so fast
I thought it would explode.

I know I shot Jake because
the gun was in my hand.

I just don't know how
it got there.

Doctor Morton, when you heard that
Jake had lied about being abused,

what went through your mind?

I had to get out of there.
I had to go outside

and get some air.
I couldn't breathe.

And that's when you saw Jake.

I wasn't thinking about
killing him.

What were you thinking about?

My son's face.

The last time in the morgue.

His last words. I can hear
him crying for his mother.

Well, does Brett Morton
have a valid defense?

Well, it's a textbook presentation
of extreme emotional disturbance.

Memory loss, vivid sensory recall.
He's got all the psychological symptoms.

Yeah. I hear a "but" coming.

It's almost too perfect.

Morton's a psychiatrist.
He knows exactly what to say.

But you know, just because he could
be faking doesn't mean that he is.

Should I plead him out?

I can't tell you
what to do.

What Morton went through was
unimaginable. That kind of tragedy...

I sympathize with him.

But you still have doubts.

It's a tough call, Casey.

I was out of my mind with grief.

I never would've shot Jake O'Hara
if I'd been thinking straight.

Now, let's be clear
about this.

You testified you had no specific
knowledge of the incident itself,

but you do admit
you killed him.

I don't remember doing it,
but I know I did.

I can't excuse it.
I can't explain it away.

And I'll live with the pain of
that knowledge the rest of my life.

Thank you.
No further questions.

Ms. Novak,
we're waiting.

You don't remember
grabbing the gun.

You don't remember
shooting Jake O'Hara.

But do you remember telling Detective
Stabler that Jake was a sociopath?

No, I don't.

Or saying that Jake would kill
again when he got out of jail?

I was overwhelmed.
I don't know what I said.

But did you think
that Jake was a sociopath?

Sociopathy can't be
diagnosed in children.

The DSM-IV prohibits it.

Until 18, children can only be
treated for conduct disorder.

But you don't agree.

Well, I adhere to the
standards of my profession.

Your Honor, at this time I'd like
to introduce into evidence an article

from the December 1992 issue
of Adolescent Behavior.

Counselor?

No objection.

Dr. Morton, would you please read
the first highlighted passage?

"If we fail to incarcerate these killer
kids for the rest of their natural lives,

"they will surely kill again. "

And now the second one.

"The American Psychiatric Association
does not let us label these children

"as sociopaths.

"But that does not change
who and what they are.

"They are born that way,

"and we must take whatever measures
are necessary to protect society

"from these amoral predators.
" Who wrote that, Doctor?

I did.

But that was nearly
15 years ago.

My views have changed.
Have they?

Because what you told Detective Stabler
right before you shot Jake O'Hara

sounds like the passage
you just read.

All I meant was, we should find a way to
protect people from sociopathic children.

And you found one, didn't you? Objection!

Sustained.

I didn't say we should
kill them.

But if children like Jake
can't be treated,

what's the alternative? Incarcerate
them for the rest of their lives.

That's what I believe.

But on that day in court, I wasn't
thinking like a psychiatrist.

I was a grieving father.

You really went after Morton
in there. He killed a kid.

He knew what he was doing.
You're so sure about that

because of something
he wrote 15 years ago?

Elliot, he's screwing with us.

This grief-crazed-father
crap, it's all an act.

I spend my life locking up
skells for murdering children.

The system says they
go away to prison. Fine.

But if it were my son
lying on that slab,

I don't know what my rage
would make me do.

Detective Stabler?

Yeah?
You're served.

Subpoena.

Zierko's calling me
to testify for the Defense.

Detective Stabler, can you describe
Dr. Morton's emotional state

when he identified
his son's body?

Calm.

Detached.

In your experience,
is this unusual?

Unusual? Yeah.

Were you concerned?

Well, I thought that if you
hold your grief in like that,

at some point you're
gonna blow.

And that's exactly
what happened.

Nothing further.

Detective Stabler, you just testified that
Dr. Morton was in control of his emotions

throughout the investigation.

So, would it be fair to say that he
acted more like a calm, detached doctor

than a grieving father?

Up until that day
at Family Court, yes.

And in the hallway, right
before he shot Jake O'Hara,

what did the defendant
say to you?

He said Jake was a sociopath
and that he would kill again.

Does that sound like a father
talking or a psychiatrist?

A psychiatrist.

And one who's written that
sociopathic children cannot be cured.

So I ask you, based on your 12
years' experience as a detective,

would you say the killing of Jake O'Hara
was the act of a grief-crazed father

or a calculated,
deliberate execution?

I don't know.

So put yourself
in Brett Morton's place.

Imagine what it was
like in that hallway,

the person who murdered your
son standing in front of you.

A disturbed young man
who killed your child

without mercy,
without remorse.

He'll be getting out of jail at 18, a
birthday your child will never celebrate.

Could you lose control?
We all could.

We could lose sight of our beliefs
and values, lose control for one moment

and act blindly out
of raw grief and despair.

That's what Dr. Morton did.

And the law says
that's not murder.

None of us can imagine
enduring Brett Morton's grief.

But grief is not what
drove him to murder.

He acted not out of emotion, but out of
his professional knowledge and experience.

His act wasn't irrational.

In fact, it was perfectly
consistent with his long-held belief

that sociopathic children
cannot be cured.

Jake O'Hara pretended remorse
for the murder of Henry Morton.

And when the defendant learned
that Jake was a devious

and manipulative child,
he also began to pretend.

He pretended he lost control.

He didn't.

Not for a single second.

He waited for the perfect opportunity,
grabbed the court officer's gun

and then shot a child. That is
not extreme emotional disturbance.

It's murder and you must
hold him responsible.

Has the jury reached
a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

On the charge of murder
in the second degree,

how does the jury find?

We find the defendant
not guilty.

The court thanks the jury
for their service.

Ladies and gentlemen,
you are dismissed.

This court
is now adjourned.

And I think the jury understood.
I'll always regret what I did.

I didn't think they'd
acquit him.

This trial wasn't about Brett Morton,
or extreme emotional disturbance,

or even your testimony.

The jurors didn't want
Jake O'Hara running loose

and Brett solved
that problem.

We can't treat these kids,
so we kill them?

I don't have the answers.
I don't think anyone does.

Maybe that's why they
acquitted. Ms. Novak? Ms. Novak.

You seem pretty satisfied.
I am.

Well, you got away with it.
Oh, I suppose I did.

Tell me one thing.

When did you decide
to kill Jake?

In the courtroom,
once I knew what he was.

You were right.

I looked around,
saw the officer,

realized I could
take the gun.

I just waited
for the right moment.

You manipulated us just
like Jake did.

There's one big difference.

Jake would have killed again.

I won't.
