Original subtitles

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.

Brand new building in Nomad.

just hit the market, and it's the amount of space I'm holding for this room.

It's me, fam, back with an update.

If you saw my Get Ready With Me this morning, you know I'm at another

exclusive open house.

Oh, who's coming to the tour?

Say hi to the DJ chat.

You're crushing it.

They already got three offers. You want it? I'd go up to 40.

I don't see a jacuzzi out here.

That's because there's three of them.

This place is sending me. It's giving rich. It's giving ethereal.

Vibes are off the freaking charts.

Drop a heart in the chat if you think this place slaps, y'all. And ladies,

when you're partying, always remember the buddy system.

Oh, my God. Girl, what are the chances?

Hey, we're talking. Can you believe it's been a year since Annie's bachelorette?

Pull me in, babe. It's been, like, forever.

You're a mess.

What's your name?

Skylar, here.

You drank too much. For real.

First time?

Hang here, I'll grab you some water, okay?

She's fine.

Go away.

Skyler, open the door. I'm calling the cops.

Skyler. Hey, knock it off. Someone needs help in here.

I think you need to leave.

A drunk girl's in there with some guy. What are you not hearing?

All I heard was a guest complain about you.

Let's go.

Literally, don't touch me, I swear to God. You're so close, bro.

I'm calling the cops.

Can I help you? Yeah, lock it down. Don't let anyone leave.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're with the NYPD. We're looking for a girl.

Skylar, she's in the locked bedroom.

Which way to the bedrooms?

Herb took the sheets.

Hey.

It's okay.

It's okay. Are you Skylar?

Room's clear. Yay, Skylar.

I get an EMT in intermediate life.

Hey, Skylar.

Skylar, I'm with the NYPD, and I'm here to help you.

Your hair is wet.

I was afraid.

Okay, we're gonna get you some help, okay?

We're gonna get you some help.

Put a blanket on her, and I need a rube kit immediately.

She seems pretty out of it, drugged. Yeah, her dress is all inside out.

The 911 caller said this was an open house.

The whole building's a brand new development.

Well, then so is the plumbing.

It's got to belong to our Vic, no?

And if we're lucky, our rapist.

I'm telling you, it was him. Super creepy.

He had a leather jacket, scruff.

We're talking to everyone who was at the party. Well, but I also think that that

security guy should, like, get his license revoked or whatever.

Chat, your girl is standing on business. No filming in the precinct. Chat.

So, you were working the party, not a guest.

Yeah, I was there for atmosphere.

Atmosphere? What does that mean? Uh, just there to chat, keep the energy up,

and obviously get content.

What kind of content?

The kind that gets people talking about the properties that are for sale, so

live streams, tours, stuff like that.

And you've been hired to work these types of parties before?

A few.

L.A., Vegas, Chicago.

Is there an expectation with this atmosphere to provide something else?

Like... a collab?

Like sex.

Ew, no.

I'm asexual.

Seems like kind of a dangerous situation to put yourself in. I mean, it's no more

dangerous than going to a club or getting in an Uber.

I mean, if I'm at risk just existing, I might as well get something out of it.

Oh, my God. That's the guy.

Do not do anything to her. That's him.

Hey, seriously?

Stop.

Buyer! I was there to view the penthouse!

I don't even know that girl. She seemed to know you, Josh. She wasn't the only

one who saw you creeping on a young woman.

Creeping?

We were having a friendly conversation.

Guessing it was pretty one-sided since she could barely form a sentence.

Okay, I was hitting on her.

But when I saw she was wasted, I backed off.

That girl out there, she pulled her away, and I didn't drug or rape anyone.

Maybe you should check out the bartender. Why would we do that?

Because he had a thing for overpouring only the girls' drinks.

You saying he spiked them?

I'm saying it wouldn't surprise me.

Maybe you should ask him. Well, we'll do that once you give us your DNA.

Blood, sweat, tears.

Take my sperm if you need it.

Okay, preliminary...

report on the shower drain here specimens from at least two people maybe

more i thought it was a brand new building how many people showered in

there could be from a contractor a plumber or a decorator well you can add

chuck's dna to the pile okay so did he give you anything else definitely the

ick but considering he was willing to hand over his firstborn child might not

be our guy he also gave us a bartender no name but chuck said that he was heavy

-handed with the women's drinks Any bartenders questioned at the scene? No,

but there were at least 40 guests, got DNA samples from most, and the others

alibied each other out.

Perp did have a 25-minute window from when Grace called 911 and when we got

there. So enough time to attack Skyler, clean her up, and run out the back.

Which is why we need a list of the attendees.

The staff, the guests, and, you know, anyone who left before we showed up.

The guy who set up the party could probably help with that.

According to Grace, his name is Marvin Gibbs.

He's an event planner with an office in Tribeca.

Okay, so you two, see if Marvin is in the mood to share.

Track down this bartender.

Terrible what happened yesterday.

Exactly why I hire security.

Anything like this ever happened before?

Every once in a while, I'll hear about one of the guests overdoing it at the

bar, but something like this? Not at my events.

And we understand yesterday's event was for an open house.

Ellis National Realty. One of our many clients.

Who hire you to do what, exactly?

Depends on the event, but it's promotions, marketing.

I curate the guests, hire the staff.

And influencers who all happen to be young, attractive women.

Most influencers are.

So your job is to hire hot women to entertain guests.

Is... That a crime?

Depends on what your definition of entertain is.

All I care about is reach, follower count, brand deals, anything to

publicize the property.

Totally legit, and everyone is handsomely compensated. Then you got

nothing to worry about. We just need a list of names of everyone who attended

that party, and we can get out of your hair.

I can't give that to you.

These guests are very rich.

Powerful.

I'd have to make some calls. Or we could make a call for a warrant.

Blow this whole thing up on social media.

Event planner invites young women across state lines and then sends them to

parties to get assaulted?

Sounds more like a pimp than a planner to me.

Or you can just give us the list.

Alex Sommer!

Can I help you? Hope so, yeah. You bartended an open house party yesterday,

yeah? Party where an intoxicated woman was attacked in the bedroom?

Jesus.

I mean, I worked a party, but I don't know about all that.

Why'd you leave before the cops showed up?

I mean, I dipped when the open bar ended, you know?

And I'm late for a shift.

What's the matter?

Scared of getting fired again?

We spoke to some of your ex-employers.

We found out you've been let go from a few different bars over the years.

Not for being late, but for inappropriate behavior with female

patrons.

Look, I, um... I got nothing to do with this.

You can prove it. Just a quick swab at the cheek. I'm good, thanks.

Told you, I'm late.

Well, we'll come along.

And we can share with your current boss the phone numbers to all those ex

-employers we spoke to.

How long's this gonna take?

All right, five men on Marvin's list had already left the party when we showed

up. A few of them were uber rich, the rest were uber creepy, but none had

criminal records. Okay, what about the bartender? Alex Somer.

Bruno and Griffin got his swab to the lab.

Speaking of which, we hear back on Skylar's rape kit?

No foreign DNA, but her tox screen did test positive for ketamine. Ah, Skylar

is out of the hospital.

And I'm holding hope that she remembers something.

i can't i'm sorry that's okay that's okay that's okay so how about

how about we start at the beginning okay why don't you um why don't you take me

through your day right leading up to the party okay um the

event planners flew me private from chicago got me a car service to this

fancy hotel in midtown okay were there any red flags there no

I checked in.

I got ready.

I think I talked to a few people once I got to the party. I don't know. Things

are still kind of fuzzy.

Well, we did confirm that you were drugged.

So... Do you remember anyone offering you a drink?

I don't think so.

But I do sort of remember Grace pulling me away from that guy.

And then what happened?

I think someone, a guy,

led me into the bedroom, okay?

And after that, all I have are, like, these feelings.

Okay, what kind of feelings?

Like, he's on top of me.

All of his weight.

On my arms and on my legs.

But he's also by the door just watching me.

Like he's in two different places.

Okay. So can you see him? His height, his weight, his skin color?

Okay.

Excuse me just for one second, okay?

I'll be right back.

The shower hair. The labs came back and it showed three sets.

One belongs to Skylar, and the other two, both males unknown.

Look, so not a match to Alex or Chuck. No. And none in CODIS either. But what's

interesting is both unknowns share about a quarter of their DNA on the father's

side. They're brothers.

Half-brothers.

Okay, Nathan and Paul Ellis, 28, 32, of Ellis National Realty. Okay, what do we

know? No wife and kids, grew up in Morris County, New Jersey, half-brothers

from separate marriages. The two mothers and a little sister are out of state

now, but the father is Raymond Ellis, venture capitalist, invests in companies

via hostile takeover, bumps the stock, then dumps it for a profit.

Intel looked into him for insider trading, but nothing stuck.

He did help his son start their real estate empire, dozens of properties sold

over the years, and even more in development.

Brothers are all over page six selling homes of celebrities and pro athletes.

It's all fantastic, but what about criminal records? None. However, they

were involved in a fatal automobile accident in 2017 in New Jersey.

Vic's name was Alicia Williams.

But we have nothing that puts them in the room with Skyler except for this

shower hair.

I said we pick them up, we shake them down, we compel DNA.

Unfortunately, the shower hair is not going to prove much because...

These two guys still own the penthouse.

Not to mention, guys like this, they usually got a long line of high-powered

attorneys that are just chomping at the bit to fight this. So if these are our

guys, our best bet's gonna be to find everything we can on them before we

confront them.

Well, if they're throwing parties all over the country, probably not the first

time something's happened.

Exactly. So you and Griff dive into their social media, find other

atmospheric women through tagged photos, follower lists, and I want you two to

really... Dig into this fatal car crash.

Car drove headfirst into the concrete wall of a Home Depot.

Hood looked like a crushed can of Coke when I got to the scene.

Who was behind the wheel?

Nathan. Refused breathalyzer, but he was wasted.

Paul was on the passenger side, and in the back was the victim.

Felicia Williams.

30s. Just got engaged.

Tempted the father's company.

Brothers worked their summers.

But Williams wasn't in the back seat when we got there.

Because she was the only one not wearing a seatbelt, if you get what I mean.

Well, the official reports that the COD was blunt force trauma to the head from

the accident.

You got another theory?

Williams was dead before she got in that car. And it's not just a theory.

Coroner confirmed.

How did nothing ever come of this?

We arrested Nathan on the DUI. DA had the coroner report. Next thing I know,

the charges get dropped.

And all my cases are under a microscope.

Chief says he's getting anonymous complaints about my conduct pretty soon.

I'm doing this for eight years now.

You think the Ellis brothers have that kind of pull?

I think the daddy does.

All I can tell you is, if you come up against this family, do what I should

have done eight years ago.

What's that?

Look the other way.

So you've hung out with Paul and Nathan at the parties?

A little.

Why? We were investigating an assault from a party a few days ago.

Just wanted to know if you've seen anything similar.

OMG.

No.

Can you tell us what you have seen?

Just that the bros are joined at the hip.

But... Paul's a sweet guy.

He's outgoing, charming.

What about Nathan?

Well, Nathan's different from Paul. I mean, he's cold, awkward.

He looks right through you like you're not even there.

You ever have a bad experience with him? Or Paul?

What do you mean, bad experience?

Something you didn't consent to?

I haven't.

But there was this one girl, Carly.

She was like the life of these parties. But then one day, she just ghosted and

stopped coming.

You ever find out why?

I tried, but she unfollowed me, never answered my DMs.

I always wondered if something bad happened.

I thought influencers were dumb.

And then I started posting videos of me making pizza, and people followed.

When did you meet Nathan and Paul?

This past April at a new building they opened in Queens.

Paul came up to me at the bar and thought...

You know, like, here's this rich, cute guy, and he wants to talk to me.

What happened?

I went back to the bedroom with him.

I thought we were just going to make out a little.

And I was gone.

After a few minutes, somebody knocked on the door.

And Paul opens it.

And Nathan walks in.

What did Paul do?

Nothing. Nathan gets on the bed, and he starts taking his clothes off.

I tried to leave, but Nathan just pushed me back down on the bed. He held my arms

down.

And Paul didn't try to stop it?

He just stood there in the corner, watching.

After it was over, Paul, yeah, handed me my shirt.

What?

Think you're going to be a nice guy now?

Hey, I'm sorry this happened to you, Carla.

I know.

I know what you think.

It's all my own fault.

And, like, what do I think?

Just going to get all this free stuff for nothing?

No, no, no. No, that's not what we think.

That's why I didn't call the police.

I knew they wouldn't believe it.

We do.

Because... Too late anyways.

No, it's not.

After it happened, some lawyer reached out.

They paid me money, and I had to sign a paper saying I wouldn't do anything.

Do you remember the lawyer's name?

I've got his email.

All the emails now go to... Oh, Marvin!

I already gave you my list, told you everything I know.

Well, that's not the best part, Mr. Gibbs. We didn't know you were a lawyer,

too. Quite an achievement.

Look, look. The emails sent to Carly Wilson buying her silence were traced to

this office's IP address. I assume she didn't send them?

I'll tell them you're running late. Great idea.

Listen, I was just doing what Nathan and Paul told me. It's not me who picks the

girls. It's them.

You do know that you have the right to remain silent. They call it a target

list. They tell me who to get. What happens after that isn't my fault. It's

called conspiracy to commit rape.

And you're just as guilty as Nathan and Paul.

This isn't just a home. It is a master class in design.

Contemporary sophistication. An industrial finish.

A mezzanine level library. More space than you know what to do with. But the

real selling point is its focus on health and wellness.

Which is why we built this.

Care to join me?

Hey, race you to the top?

You're on.

Excuse me, this is a closed set. Nathan and Paul Ellis. Excuse me, who are you?

NYPD. Turn around.

Gender arrest.

What's this about? Shut up. Don't say anything.

I'm sure this is miscellaneous. Well, I'm pretty sure that it's not.

Look, someone was attacked at our party. We're just as concerned as you.

Well, we really appreciate your willingness to talk to us about it.

Starting with, how long were you and Paul at the party the other night?

About an hour.

We mostly go to show face to clients. We make our rounds, we have a drink, take

some pictures.

Take pictures with who?

Important clients.

Influencers. Ah, right. You're atmosphere women.

Yeah. Well, these days, influencers have to be built into the business.

Influencers like her?

This guy to the right?

You see her at the party?

I saw that she was drunk.

That's not uncommon for these girls.

In hindsight, I should have had security ask her to leave.

But you didn't.

No. Because I left myself with my brother. We went home.

You two happened to stop in the bedroom on your way out? Or the bathroom, maybe?

No.

Oh, but we did do a walkthrough before the party started.

And since we had come off a workout, I thought I'd take a shower.

So did Paul.

So you don't remember seeing her? I'm telling you, I don't know.

Well, Paul, what do you know?

That we did what we always do at the parties. We show up, we do our thing,

and we leave.

And what thing is that?

Our jobs. We sell the place.

And I would like to see my brother now.

We're not here about your brother.

We're here about you.

I'm sorry that this happened to her. I don't know anything.

Okay.

Then maybe you know about her.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I remember her.

We had sex.

And it was entirely consensual.

Walk us through that.

She came up to me at the bar. She was giving me all the signs. We went to the

bedroom. But before we got into it, she asked me about Paul.

What about him?

If he'd be interested in watching.

Come on. Are you serious right now?

I know how it sounds. It's just the way she wanted it.

It's too bad that's not what she told us.

Well, then she's either mistaken or she's lying.

And you just played along?

Just watched your brother have sex with her?

Yeah.

I did.

Because you wanted to?

Maybe Nathan roped you into it.

Why don't we talk about Nathan?

What was it like growing up with him?

He looks out for me.

He protects me.

He texts you from what?

Nathan.

Nathan isn't there.

Right? He's over here. And I gotta tell you, he's getting the same chance you

are. Chance to do what?

To tell a story.

What do you think he's saying?

I don't think he's saying anything.

Well, for all you know, he could be in there right now, spilling his guts.

There's nothing to spill!

And I'm done talking to you.

Ugh.

So we got an outright denial on one hand, a decessuous threesome on the

other. Another way to say guilty.

If we get enough distance between him and Big Brother, we might be able to

flip it.

You really think that's doable?

Well, I just, he's completely under Nathan's control.

You saw the way he kept looking at the mirror?

All right, so how do we lift Nathan's thumb?

So we know they're privileged.

Dad covers things up, Nathan protects, but psychologically, I'd have to know

more about where this dynamic comes from. It's worth a shot.

All right, considering our evidence, shower hair on Marvin Gibbs. And the

victim statement, which told us that Paul is just as culpable, even if he

didn't commit the act itself. I think that we have more than enough to prove

it, don't you? I certainly tried cases on us.

Captain? Where are they?

Oh, God. Speaking of dad. Which way?

Who's in charge?

I am Captain Benson, and you must be Raymond Ellis.

The father of two men I believe you've wrongfully arrested.

And interrogated sans counsel, which some might find to be prejudicial. Well,

they've been advised their rights, and they're talking to us willingly.

Not anymore.

Interviews are over.

Oh, excuse me.

Ah.

Shut up, Paul.

Okay.

Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. You need to leave the precinct.

Benson, is it? Yes.

I could spell it for you. Would you like my badge number as well?

Yeah, maybe I would. Okay.

Well, I'm happy to provide that for you as soon as you and your bodyguard leave

my precinct.

What, are you just going to stand there?

I've got it covered, Raymond.

You need to leave, sir.

Thank you.

Guess we know where it comes from.

Wow.

Your Honor, I'm requesting People's Exhibit 3 be entered into evidence.

These are emails Ms. Wilson received from a purported lawyer for the

defendants. No objection.

Ms. Wilson, would you mind summarizing what this lawyer said in these emails?

That he knew I felt uncomfortable with what had happened. He wanted to make it

right. And how did he want to make it right?

By paying me $7,500 if I signed an NDA.

What was the name of this lawyer?

He said it was Tom Miller, but...

I later found out from SVU that it was Marvin Gibbs.

Marvin Gibbs, the party planner who hired you in the first place?

Yes.

Miss Wilson, why did you sign something that you knew was meant to silence your

assault?

Mr. Gibbs said that the Ellis brothers had so many resources, it wouldn't be

worth it to do anything. Nobody would take my side, so I believed him.

Thank you. No further questions.

Miss Wilson, after this alleged assault happened, how long did it take for you

to go to the police?

I didn't.

How long did it take you to go to the hospital or visit a doctor?

I didn't do that either.

No police, no hospital. But you did take a payment from Marvin Gibbs.

I already answered that.

You did.

But I have to say, if I'd experienced what you say you've been through...

I'd have asked for more.

Rejection, argumentative. Get to the question, Miss Vega.

Did you ask for more, Carly?

Yes.

Smart woman.

How much?

I asked for ten.

Ten thousand dollars.

Given how horrible you say this was, even that doesn't sound like enough.

Your Honor, it was the defense testifying. My apologies.

Nothing further.

It was Marvin's idea to offer Carly compensation and ask her to sign an NDA.

He convinced me to go through with it.

Convinced you based on what?

True or false allegations.

In today's cancel culture, an accusation like Carly's, even if it's untrue, would

kill my career.

Marvin was trying to protect me in his way.

Let's talk about Scarla Wright.

Do you remember seeing her at the party?

Yes. She was at the bar.

with my brother Paul.

They were talking, having drinks, and then I saw them go into the bedroom.

Are you aware of what happened after Skyler and your brother Paul went into

the bedroom?

No. All I know is that I never saw Miss Wright again.

Mr. Ellis, why is this the first time that anybody is hearing about this?

Hearing about what?

Oh, the fact that you saw your brother go into the bedroom with the victim

moments before she was attacked.

Something that you neglected to disclose to SVU detectives.

I love my brother.

I've always tried to protect him.

When I spoke to the police, I was not under oath.

But I am now.

And I take that very seriously.

Mr. Ellis, in light of your brother's testimony, I only have a few questions

for you.

Now, did you interact with Skylar Wright at the penthouse party?

Um, yes.

And did you have drinks at the bar with her?

Yes.

Carly Wilson testified to the same fact pattern on another occasion that the two

of you had drinks together before you took things to the bedroom. Now, is that

also what happened with Skylar Wright?

Mr. Ellis, I'm right over here. You can just look at me. All right, I'm gonna

ask you again.

Is that also...

What happened? Was Skylar right?

No. No? So your brother's lying?

No. So, Paul, look, it's a simple question. Did you not go into the

bedroom with Skylar?

Yes. Okay, and after you and Skylar went into the bedroom together, did your

brother Nathan Ellis enter and assault her the same way Carly Wilson testified

to earlier?

Well, all you can just tell the court what it is that you were looking at.

Your Honor, how is this relevant? Your Honor, I'm sorry, but I'm just wondering

how I'm supposed to question a witness who is getting signaled by his co

-defendant in real time.

That is a lie.

That's enough. Do not speak unless spoken to.

And you, keep your eyes on Mr. Carisi.

Thank you, Your Honor.

I have nothing further for him.

Creasy! Do me a favor, Counselor. Make this quick. What do you want?

Paul pleads guilty to the entire indictment.

Nathan walks.

Oh, Paul, uh, Paul agrees to that?

Let me worry about Paul.

The only thing I'm worried about, Miss Vega, is what this offer does for me.

It guarantees you one conviction instead of what may end up being zero.

So you're saying, you think that this whole thing is orchestrated by Nathan?

You should have seen him eyeing each other in the courtroom, and you heard

about Nathan's testimony, right? I heard that he tried to implicate his brother.

I bet the jury just ate that up. You're not thinking about accepting the deal

that Vega offered. Not for a second. In fact, I think she's improperly

representing Paul.

It's because of that that I'm considering offering him a deal of my

own.

What, to flip Paul?

The man who led these victims to their assault, who stood by...

and did nothing while it was happening live we have a very strong case against

paul but we don't for nathan and i think most people would agree that he's the

greater of the two evils here so if we can flip paul then there is a chance

that we can land them both behind bars

what's

going on have a seat paul

Did your lawyer tell you about the deal she offered me?

What deal?

The one where Nathan walks away, um, not guilty, and you go down for everything.

You're lying.

Ah, I wish we were, Paul.

But your brother put you in that room with Skylar.

He doesn't care about you. He was gonna throw you right under the bus. And your

attorney just let it happen, which is why, uh, despite the unforgivable things

you've done...

We wanted to give you one more chance to help yourself.

How?

It's called shadow counsel.

The court will appoint you a new separate attorney. Somebody that's going

to work in your best interest only.

No.

I'm not doing that. Hang on. Your brother will never know.

And nor will his attorney.

Just the judge.

Us. Whoever your new lawyer is. He's going to sit behind me in the gallery.

You said that your brother protected you.

Your brother was using you. He was manipulating you. Just like you

manipulated Skyler. Like you manipulated Carly.

That's not protection, Paul.

That's control.

And it's the same kind of control that I saw when your father just walked into

the squad room and started yelling at you in front of everyone.

Now, that doesn't excuse the things that you've done.

It does give us an opportunity to help you free yourself from them.

And after all this time, after all those years, my God, don't you want that?

Nathan couldn't talk to girls.

He would just... freeze up.

That's why he'd send me in.

Send you to do what?

Get them to like me, trust me.

Sometimes I'd put something in their drink. Lots of times I didn't need to.

They would just... come with me.

So you were the lure.

Is that what you did with Kali?

And Skylar?

It's not just them.

Nathan would take over. At first I was just supposed to be the lookout.

And then he asked me to watch.

Why? Power.

Paul was the second son. Paul was from the second marriage.

And Nathan wanted to make sure that you never forgot who

was in charge.

Both of them, they don't care what anybody else thinks or feels.

They're in charge, they're the boss.

Consequences don't apply.

Even if someone ends up hurt.

Or even if someone ends up dead.

You mean like...

Like Alicia Williams?

Like the girl from New Jersey that died in the car accident?

Is that what you mean?

It wasn't an accident.

Dad told us to crash the car to cover it all up.

To cover what up?

That he killed her.

Where the hell is Paul?

Where the hell's the judge?

Apologies, ladies and gentlemen.

I've just received some distressing news.

Hey, what happened? He got chipped in the neck by an inmate an hour before

trial. Okay, did they say he's gonna make it? It's an inch from his jugular.

They stabilized him enough to bring him here, but it doesn't look good.

So the judge hit the pause button on trial until Paul's able to testify. And

the surgeon was able to stitch him up, so it looks like he's going to be able

to pull through. Well, we know this isn't a coincidence. What we don't know

is how it happened.

Daniel Boyd, awaiting transfer to Greenhaven for murder.

Inmate. Who stabbed Paul?

Now in solitary, pleading the fifth.

More like covering for whoever's behind this. My money's on the lawyer. She's

been protecting Nathan from jump.

Yeah, but does Vega have the juice to pull something like this off?

Probably not.

But you know who does?

The father.

In Adventure Cap, Daddy Warbucks, he tries to kill one son to protect the

other. Or protect himself after what Paul told you about Alicia Williams.

Well, the question is, how did he find out about it?

I'd be shocked if Paul got cold feet, somehow squealed on his brother. Okay,

Paul, Paul was solid.

He wanted to cooperate with us. Yeah, somebody inside that jail leaked a

meeting with him. They got the word out.

And we just need to find out who. So, you two, find out who has the big mouth.

That's my fault. You can't do that. Yeah, according to our warrant, we can.

It seems like you got two jobs, Officer Hickey. CO by day, moonlighting

bodyguard for Raymond Ellis by night.

That's not illegal.

No, it's not. But it is illegal to have Paul Ellis killed and grant Daniel Boyd

the access to do so.

You got the wrong guy.

Yeah, and then why all these phone calls to Raymond the same day as Paul's

attack?

I want a lawyer.

Yeah, you'll get one. And I'm sure they'll convince you to cooperate.

Mr. Ellis, were you a willing participant to your brother's scheme?

Yes.

And what did this scheme involve?

Finding women like Skyler Wright and Carly Wilson on social media,

sending them to our parties, and me luring them in

for Nathan to assault them.

Did you witness these assaults?

I saw everything.

Real estate titan Nathan Ellis was found guilty of rape in the first degree while

his brother Paul received a plea deal in the final hour. Raymond Wallace.

Remember me?

I remember everything, Captain Benson.

Huh? You've been trying to kill your own son?

That's ridiculous.

Excuse me. Not this time.

You're under arrest.

You have no idea who you're dealing with, do you? Well, actually, I do.

And you will be dealing with Deputy Feldman from Morris County.

Now, you remember him, don't you? Because he has a couple of questions

about the murder of Alicia Williams.

Get him out of here.
