Original subtitles

NARRATOR: 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.

Okay, I think

I've soaked up enough atmosphere for one night.

That paraplegic hooker's good for two chapters alone.

Open those doors to perception,

I'll promise, you'll have an entire novel.

Enrique?

Ricardo down at the Java Barn in SoHo said

you could hook us up?

Twenty bucks.

That sounds reasonable.

And you have something for us?

That was just the house fee.

Enrique's downstairs,

third door on your left.

It's the second door on the left, right?

I don't know.

I'm just trying not to pee my pants.

Enrique?

I don't think we're in the right room.

Who cares?

We're still going to score.

I'll flip you to see who does her first.

You're a sick freak.

She's unconscious.

She is totally hot.

Come on, man. It's now or never.

Once you shoot the H,

you won't even be able to get it up.

Then why the hell would anyone do it?

Police! Don't move.

Keep those hands where we can see them.

Down, down, down!

Hey, tighty-whitey, no funny business.

I tripped! Okay, lady.

Let's get our clothes on.

Lady, wake up.

Hey, Will, I don't think this one came here on her own.

Well-groomed.

No track marks,

looks like she took a nasty blow to the head.

Any ID?

Nada.

Caught that one with his pants down,

just about to do her.

You don't say.

I was just trying to help her up.

With your penis?

How she doing?

Stable, but she hasn't regained consciousness.

Elliot, the Fitzsimmons trial.

It's one of the victims?

No, the expert witness. Doctor...

Greta something... Heints.

Greta Heints.

She's the woman who thinks she can fix rapists.

Captioning sponsored by UNIVERSAL NETWORK TELEVISION

and NBC

Dr. Greta Heints, top forensic psychiatrist,

teaches at Hudson Medical School...

Yeah, but spends most of her time

trying to cure sex offenders.

She even wrote a book on it.

Yeah, I read it. It's a load of crap.

Any records on the two losers they found her with?

Clean. Claims they were doing research for their art.

Well, what kind of research was our noted shrink doing

in a shooting gallery?

I don't know, but the hospital said

her tox screen was negative.

Rape kit?

No fluids, but signs of external trauma.

They said they'll call when she comes to.

Get your hands off me, fool.

Where have Munch and Fin been?

Narcotics. Working through the addicts

picked up in the raid.

You're not going to put him in here, are you?

What'd you two pendejos

tell them? Ow!

Look at that. They're old friends.

I swear, sir, we didn't say a word about your job there.

What job?

I was just hanging.

That makes you a material witness.

Which means that we can keep you

in here a good long time.

Sooner you talk, sooner you walk.

I don't know nothing.

Don't sell yourself short.

Hey, what about us? We didn't do anything.

FIN: How do we know

you're not the ones who attacked that woman?

We just got there.

Ask that nice gentleman with the tattoos.

When did they get there?

They came in a minute before the bust.

I knew those cholos are bad luck.

What time did she arrive?

What do I look like, a doorman?

No, more like a lowly look-out

who saw everyone coming and going.

You got me confused with someone else.

Oh, yeah? Javier Francisco Medina, aka Bad-Ass.

Possession, Possession with Intent to Sell,

Menacing in the First Degree,

Criminal Facilitation.

Shall I go on? All right, all right.

Not a lot of room left

on that rap sheet of yours.

She came in a half hour before the raid.

She walk in, or somebody carry her in?

Walked.

With?

Alone. For what?

One of those do-gooders.

Bad for business.

I didn't want to let her in.

So, why did you?

She said a patient was in trouble inside.

She seemed desperate.

Okay, she gave me 40 bucks.

( knocking )

Hospital called.

Doctor's awake.

BENSON: Dr. Heints,

can you tell us who attacked you?

No. I-I'm sorry.

Apparently, the trauma

to my head has caused retrograde amnesia.

What's the last thing you remember?

Leaving the Hamptons late on Sunday.

And we got home just before 10:00.

Uh, the phone was ringing.

Who was it?

Patient line. I know by now not to ask.

She went out right after that.

How many of your patients live or work

in Washington Heights?

I'm not sure any of them do.

We're going to need a list.

I can't do that.

Doctor-patient confidentiality.

Honey, you do enough for them. Please.

BENSON: You are obligated

to report them if they're a risk to themselves or others.

DR. HEINTS: If I had a name to report,

which I don't.

I have no idea who did this,

and I can't have you traumatizing the innocent ones.

You treat rapists.

None of them are innocent.

I'm sorry.

She's pretty uncooperative.

Her hands are tied.

What was your take on the husband?

Loves her, hates her job.

Well, how would you like it

if Kathy was treating sex offenders,

one-on-one, every day?

Wouldn't let her.

Let her?

Did I say that?

Look, you know, these skels are only going to see Dr. H.

because the court ordered them to.

Making it public record.

Want to drive?

MAN: Well, let's see.

Out of the 500 parolees I supervise a year,

I farm out about 50 per shrink.

I figure a good portion of those have reoffended,

gone back to prison.

Then some finish out, move away, die,

or just disappear.

How many go straight?

That's a good one.

How many are seeing Dr. Heints right now?

Two dozen.

That's still a long list. Who do you like?

( sighs )

This guy, Bruce Horton.

He came back after a few sessions,

said he'd rip her guts out if he had to see her again.

What was his problem?

Her method.

It's a little unorthodox.

She's a freak.

Takes one to know one.

What did she do?

The bitch tried to emasculate me.

STABLER: Come on.

A big guy like you?

She told me to

suck my thumb.

Excuse me?

She's into that

inner child crap.

Gave me stuffed animals, read me bedtime stories.

She even had me call her Mommy.

( knife chopping )

That monster.

Where were you Sunday night?

I was here working a double shift.

We'll be checking on that.

Who you should be checking out is that quack.

Her therapy backfired.

That a confession?

No.

But I got to tell you,

her program made me want to go out

and prove my manhood, if you know what I mean.

Dr. Heints is a pioneer in the field.

She operates on the assumption

that all sex offenders were themselves abused as children.

Well, how is that new?

Most were.

Greta believes that if they can be regressed

back to the time of their original trauma,

she can reparent them in a correctively emotional way.

Healing their psychic boo-boos.

It's cutting edge, but the jury's still out.

Well, what do you think?

Regressing violent criminals can be dangerous,

but if she can find a way to make it work,

she'd be a hero.

Sexual predators can't be changed.

All you can do is lock them up.

Yeah, but sooner or later, they get out.

Seven out of ten rape again.

As least she's trying something.

What's wrong with civil commitment?

Ah, yes, after prison, toss them in the nuthouse.

Punish them twice for the same crime.

Goes over gangbusters at the ACLU.

Greta serves on the Civil Commitment Review Board.

CRAGEN: You're kidding.

They just let out their first committed rapist.

Yeah, Benny Edgar Ralsay.

He raped seven women up in Albany, right?

CRAGEN Wrong.

That's just how many they got him on.

He did 30 or 40.

They called him the Duct Tape Rapist.

HUANG: The day he got out of prison,

he was civilly committed to the state psych hospital.

BENSON: Where is Benny now?

On the street. A few months ago,

he was released from the psych hospital

right here on Randall's Island.

Of all the psychos

our victim could have set free, why this one?

She claimed his treatment was a complete success.

FIN: Planning your next rape, Benny?

Dr. H. completely rewired me.

I don't even think that way anymore.

STABLER Really?

Now, isn't this your old restraint of choice here?

You don't have to broadcast it.

I paid my debt, and I'm registered.

Seen your therapist lately?

I never missed a session.

Afraid this week's is canceled.

Why?

Somebody put her in the hospital.

What happened?

You tell us.

I would never hurt the doc.

She's the reason why I'm out.

Where is she?

Why would you need to know that?

I'd like to send her flowers.

She's like a mother to me.

So tell me,

why do you hate your mother?

I told you, it wasn't me.

Where were you Sunday night?

Home.

Don't tell me. Alone.

Yeah. So?

Can somebody put you there?

Yeah.

Mr. Ankle Bracelet.

MAN: It's a pilot program.

One of the conditions of his release

is that he not go out at night.

So there's no way that he could have

gone out last Sunday night?

If he had so much as stepped out onto the sidewalk,

I'd have been notified.

He's never broken curfew once.

Really? How do you know that for sure?

We've got him on GPS.

This system can track him within six feet.

So, You can tell us where he is right now?

See the moving dot?

56th and Broadway.

Two blocks from work, on his way home.

STABLER: What are the red zones?

Known areas of prostitution.

Most of his victims were hookers.

Well, they're now off-limits.

He's getting awful close to a ho zone right now.

What happens if he takes a right here?

Well, that would signal an unauthorized departure.

And I would be beeped immediately on my PDA.

Well, get ready.

Nope. Resisted temptation again.

And there's no way of beating the system?

It's foolproof.

Although, every time they build a better mousetrap,

someone finds a way to outsmart it.

BENSON: Looks like he's itching to get out.

This guy Benny's climbing the walls.

Okay, thanks.

Munch just got the LUDs from Dr. Heints' patient line.

How'd we get those?

Cragen talked her into giving us the hour

before the attack.

Any calls from Benny?

No, and none coming from his building.

It was a pay phone.

In this neighborhood?

No, 86th and Lex.

Now, you got a subway right down here,

and two stops up on the 6 train

is the pay phone.

But how'd he beat the monitor?

The guy's in electronics.

I think he's also trying to climb out the window.

Just his cat.

( meows )

( loud beeping )

Unauthorized departure.

Cat must be a diversion.

Fin, he's on the move.

You see him coming out back?

I've got nothing back here. It's dead.

How the hell did he get out?

I don't know.

Liv.

Check out the cat.

Benny's ankle bracelet.

That son of a bitch slipped his leash.

Benny Ralsay pop up on the radar yet?

No, and we're working blind here.

We can't even get into his apartment.

We're still waiting on a warrant.

Maybe his employer could steer us in some direction.

Yeah, the unemployment line.

It turns out he was fired yesterday after we left.

All the coworkers revolted when they found out who he was.

Well, if he's smart, he's halfway cross- country by now.

The next of kin is listed as a mother in Pennsylvania.

Authorities there are watching her house.

Tell them not to hold their breath.

We just subpoenaed the visitor logs from Attica.

Mom didn't visit him once in eight years,

nor did anyone else.

Where are you on the search warrant?

Floundering in unchartered waters.

STABLER: What is the problem?

This guy violated the conditions of his release.

He served his full prison sentence

and was never on parole.

Therefore, he was never subject

to the Department of Corrections' supervision.

So who has jurisdiction?

The Department of Mental Health.

But remember, this is their first civil commitment release.

They have never had to deal with enforcement.

I'm telling you

this guy is the Duct Tape Rapist.

His victim is his own psychiatrist.

More than enough for a warrant if Benny was on parole.

Legally, he is Joe Citizen.

The standards for probable cause are much higher.

I need more.

Our only road left is his shrink-slash-victim.

Get her to hand over his file.

Might have trouble finding it.

Just got word somebody vandalized her office.

STABLER: First he attacks you personally, now professionally.

This is a vendetta.

In your sessions with Benny,

has he been unusually upset recently?

I take all my patients to painful places.

None have lashed out like this.

STABLER: This is empty.

What was in here?

( sighs )

My session tapes from the last week.

Why would he take all of them?

They're sent out for transcription.

To ensure privacy, they're-they're labeled

by case number, not name.

So whoever did this would not know

which tape was his.

Dr. Heints, has Benny

disclosed anything incriminating lately?

Look, he hasn't reoffended.

Course you couldn't say even if he had, right?

Dust this. Boy, I tell you, therapists and priests--

always there to listen, just not allowed

to tell, huh?

Benny is my biggest success.

He had a new life, a good job, a healthy relationship

until you persecuted him.

Who was this so-called healthy relationship with?

( sighs )

STABLER: Doctor, you want

to clear him, we need to find him.

I only know her first name. Amy.

Well, who else would he go to?

He was estranged from his family,

but I'd been encouraging him to reconnect.

He's an embarrassment to the family.

We want nothing to do with him.

He's your baby brother.

If he had trouble, seems like he'd come to you.

Not after last time.

I made myself crystal clear: lose my number.

When was this?

Couple of weeks ago.

Said he needed to rebuild his family support system.

I don't know what talk show he's watching, but I ain't buying.

So, you don't think he's changed?

I got a wife and three kids, all girls.

I can't take any chances.

You at least catch up?

Find out what's going on in his life?

New friends?

Maybe a special lady?

Yeah. That was his big pitch.

Said he was dating a nice wholesome girl.

Amy?

Yeah. That was her name.

I thought for sure he was making that up.

Why is that?

Get this-- said she was a librarian.

Here you are, Trishan.

Benny and I just celebrated our one-month anniversary.

Uh, have you ever noticed, Amy,

that Benny wears an ankle bracelet?

It's a little hard to miss.

Oh, I know all about his house arrest.

And you didn't have a problem with that?

It's not his fault.

BENSON: Well, whose fault is it?

Benny had an addiction, but it's under control now.

Lady... ( clears throat )

I gotta tell you,

you are pretty damn understanding.

We have a whole section here on that subject.

You'd be surprised how many people

have a problem with gambling.

Amy?

( sighs )

Your boyfriend raped over 30 women.

Why would you say something so horrible?

BENSON: He told you that he was from Albany, right?

In the early '90s, Benny was known as the Duct Tape Rapist.

No.

Amy, where is he?

He's at my apartment.

He said his sentence was over.

It was the first time he ever spent the night.

( door opening )

Ah, sweetie, you're early.

I made your favorite.

I wanted to surprise you.

Trust me, Amy can't handle any more surprises.

Whatcha cookin'?

That's a bad idea.

Step away from the knives.

Step away from the knives!

( grunting )

( grunts loudly )

You're a creature of habit, Benny.

You might want to change your MO.

Benny, tell me something.

How many times have you gone out

while the cat stayed in?

Never.

This is my first time.

Right. Where are the tapes you stole?

I told you!

I didn't break into the doc's office.

STABLER: And you didn't attack her the night before?

I don't do that anymore.

Oh, I believe you,

but Amy doesn't.

What did you tell her?

BENSON: Ah, just a few things that you were obviously

too bashful to mention.

That made her want to learn more.

So, she went through your suitcase.

She doesn't remember posing for these.

Or giving you permission

to take them while she was sleeping.

She looked so pretty.

Well, she wasn't when she found these. Uh...

gloves, crowbar, glass cutter...

Oh, and look a-here, it's our old friend,

Mr. Duct Tape.

What exactly were you doing with these?

Okay, I admit I still think about it.

It's-it's a constant struggle,

but the doc was keeping me clean.

Try again.

I didn't buy them until you started hounding me.

But I wasn't going to use them, I swear.

Benny, science has advanced an awful lot since you went in.

Now, all this stuff is at our crime lab right now.

If there's even one microscopic wood fiber

on this crowbar, they can match it

to the busted drawer in her office.

If the strip you bound Dr. Heints with

was the last off that roll, we'll know it.

I didn't do it!

I wouldn't! Don't you get it?!

Dr. H was helping me.

BENSON: Then why did you run?

Because my life here was ruined, thanks to you.

STABLER: Can you believe this guy?

It's our fault he's a sick...

We were way off track, huh?

( knocking )

Yeah.

( door opens )

Mental Health Board finally took a stand

on the violations.

We're shipping Benny back to the state hospital.

Screw civil commitment.

We're putting this guy back in prison.

I'm afraid not.

I just talked to the lab.

Nothing matches Benny's tools or prints.

So he must have worn gloves.

Well, whoever broke in, didn't.

Prints were everywhere, including on the locked drawer.

Belong to a Robert Logan.

I don't remember that name from her sex offender list.

He's not a con.

He's a second-year law student from Hudson U.

How do we have his prints?

He clerked for the city last summer.

BENSON: Well, Dr. Heints teaches at Hudson U.

Maybe she treats some of her students there, too.

His address is in the file.

Pick him up.

( tires squeal )

What's going on?

Bloody mess. Suicide attempt.

Oh, maybe not. Female victim?

Male. Some law student.

Robert Logan.

Yeah, that should be him right there.

BENSON: He's a suspect in a rape.

He needs to be taken

to Bellevue prison ward.

Liv.

What the hell is she doing here?

When I got to Robert's apartment, he was despondent.

He'd locked himself in the bathroom.

I feared the worst, immediately called 911.

Well, what were you thinking

making a house call after what had just happened to you?

He was a patient in crisis.

He's the one who attacked you.

( sighs ): I suspected that.

What? What?

The last time I saw him, he had anger issues with me.

Well, when was that?

Friday.

Doctor, it would've saved us an awful lot of time and energy

if you had told us this before.

I couldn't.

Remember, I had no memory of that night.

My testimony would have been based solely

on privileged communication, which is inadmissible.

We have a very resourceful ADA.

She would've found a way around it.

It's fruit of the poisoned tree.

Without your independent investigation,

any half-decent defense attorney

would've thrown the entire case out.

Well, you seem to have

the whole thing figured out.

Now, why exactly was Robert angry with you?

I told him I needed to transition him

to another therapist.

Because he threatened you?

No, because I'd lost control.

Because I took him too far too quickly.

He'd become obsessed with me.

I thought it best he have a male therapist.

So obviously Robert didn't handle the rejection too well.

( chuckles wryly )

Greta loves me.

She's leaving her husband, you know.

To be with you?

Yeah. In our sessions, all we do is make love.

Who initiated this relationship?

Greta.

She was professional at first,

and then she started dressing seductively, just for me.

How did you respond to that?

I had dreams about her every night.

I couldn't think about anything else, you know?

Why did you steal her session tapes?

So I could hear her voice.

It hurts when I'm not with her.

Where are the tapes now?

Somebody stole them.

I have to get them back

because they prove that she loves me.

Really? Yeah.

Tell me about them.

Well, uh... she wants me to take my clothes off

so we can take a bath together.

She wants me to suck on her breasts.

Does she ask you to hurt her?

No!

Then why did you?

Excuse me, I would never hurt her.

But what about the crack house?

You called and told her to meet you there.

Tell me what happened.

I can't remember. I-I...

I lose chunks of time, you know. I always have.

That's why I started seeing her in the first place.

You have blackouts?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

You know, I go to sleep and I wake up days later

and sometimes... sometimes it's in another town.

Did you black out on Sunday night?

I just told you I don't know.

I don't... I don't know.

What is the last thing you do remember?

( sighs )

Greta breaking up with me.

What happened?

She just said she didn't want to see me anymore.

HUANG: It's common for patients

to fantasize about their therapists.

In psychiatry, it's called transference.

Around here, we call it sexual assault.

Robert doesn't deny the attack.

He just has no memory of the details.

Oh, bull. Plus, he has a history

of going into psychogenic fugue states.

Okay, I'll bite. What's that?

Dissociative episodes where one loses days, even weeks.

The patient is not aware of the time that's lost

nor has any memory of what happened during it.

Including a half-assed suicide attempt?

I read the report. He sliced the wrong way.

He sliced deep enough to have the hospital admit him.

Look, this is obviously a desperate attempt

to get the doctor back in his life.

Or set up for a handy insanity defense.

In which case we couldn't touch him.

His attorney has requested a 730 exam.

I've asked our civil actions ADA

to observe the psychiatric evaluation

and let me know if and when he is fit to stand trial.

Well, frankly, I don't see that happening any time soon.

He may be crazy,

but he was competent enough to plan that crime.

Okay, look, we'll dig into his mental state leading up to it.

WOMAN: Robert hasn't been to class in weeks.

MUNCH: Is that a habit with him?

No, it only happened once before.

When? Last year.

He made Law Review, but the pressure got to him.

Day his article was due, he disappeared.

When did he come back?

A week later, thinking it was due day.

He freaked when they told him he wouldn't be published.

I had to force him to get out of bed and eat.

So you two were dating?

I tried.

It seemed like he needed me.

He's so smart and cute.

But troubled.

He's an overachiever.

He worked so hard

he just didn't have any energy left for, you know.

He's impotent?

I hoped he'd work through it with that shrink,

but she only made him worse.

How so?

Robert told me to stay away from him

because I was dirty.

Where'd that come from?

I don't know, but it wasn't just me.

He cut off everyone. I'm late.

What about family?

Maybe his sister, Christina.

They were really close.

WOMAN: We've always been so proud of him.

He's a genius, you know?

He was going to be the first person in the family

to really make something of himself.

That's an awful lot of pressure. Maybe it got to him.

I'll tell you what got to him, that quack. Dr. Heints?

Since he started seeing her,

he hasn't had a thought of his own.

You. ( groans )

You, you better come with me.

Everything's always, "Greta said this.

Dr. H. said that." ( groans )

Robert's obsessed with her.

Because she brainwashed him.

Thanks to her, he's a nonfunctioning mess.

It got so serious, I filed a complaint

with the State Medical Board.

Excuse me! Excuse me, Dorothy.

WOMAN: Yeah?

Dorothy, take care of him. Okay.

And what did they say?

They contacted Robert,

who said she was helping him, so they dropped it.

Then he tried to kill himself over her.

Over what he did to her.

What did he do to her?

Your brother attacked Dr. Heints.

He put her in a hospital.

Robert's never been violent his whole life.

When was she attacked? Sunday night.

Then it couldn't have been him.

Let me guess...

He was with you that night.

No, earlier, that morning.

He was rambling like a three-year-old.

He didn't even know who I was.

So I took him to St. John's

where they admitted him for 24-hour observation.

Robert Logan was admitted at 2:15 Sunday afternoon.

Take a look at his file?

Sorry, it's...

Confidential, we know.

MAN: Hey, Nurse Lynch.

Uh, no pun intended,

but this place is kind of a madhouse.

Is there any chance that Logan could've slipped out of here?

Absolutely not.

When someone's checked in for observation,

we do observe them, quite regularly.

BENSON: So he was here

the whole 24 hours?

No...

five.

STABLER: Wait a minute.

You just said he couldn't get out.

I said he couldn't sneak out.

Robert checked in voluntarily so he was free to leave.

AMA, mind you.

Against medical advice.

Right, so you knew he was dangerous.

His behavior was erratic

when he came in, but he settled down.

He wasn't suicidal or homicidal,

so we couldn't stop him from going.

BENSON You got a real crack team here.

After he left, your patient tried to kill

his own psychiatrist and then himself.

Dr. Heints?

STABLER: You know her?

First couple hours Robert was here he kept asking for her,

but we couldn't reach her.

And how did he respond to that?

Not well. But when he settled down,

he remembered they had a session coming up.

He said he'd be fine as soon as he talked to her.

Got a pretty solid motive: she rejects him, he falls apart,

begs to see her, she doesn't come.

Just hours before the attack,

he tells witnesses he's going to find her.

You know, he may be crazy,

but he definitely knew what he was doing

when he lured her there.

Who cares?

BENSON: Who the hell are you?

Bettina Amador.

You must be Benson and Stabler.

CRAGEN: The Civil Actions ADA

Alex so highly recommended.

Ms. Amador here was informing me

Mr. Logan won't be going to trial.

Why?

I just got the results of his 730 exam.

Powers-that-be say he's not fit to proceed.

Well, they're wrong. Look, we just busted our hump

getting this guy's state of mind.

It was premeditated.

It's not relevant.

Doesn't matter how sane he was at the time of the attack,

they're saying he's looney tunes now.

Which means he can't help with his own defense.

Well, I think that he's doing a damn fine job.

He's faking it.

Okay. It's a long shot,

but I can challenge the findings.

Might want to spruce up a little bit for court.

WOMAN: I examined Mr. Logan

and found him to be delusional and highly agitated.

His sense of reality is so poor,

he doesn't understand the charges against him.

Agitated?

He looks pretty calm and collected to me, Dr. Baca.

He's heavily medicated.

Oh, he's high.

Well, maybe that accounts for his inability

to help in his own defense.

Objection.

BACA: Mr. Logan is so entrenched in fantasy,

he believes his relationship

with Dr. Heints was consensual.

AMADOR: Does Robert understand assault is a crime?

Yes.

And does he also understand

he's being charged with attempted rape?

Yes, and he's deeply upset about it.

Upset?

Doesn't that indicate remorse?

Well, that's where it gets complicated.

Robert is devastated that Dr. Heints was injured,

but he maintains that she controlled

every sexual aspect of the relationship.

The victim was asking for it?

Isn't that what they all say?

Objection. Withdrawn.

Nothing further.

Robert is extremely ill.

I'm afraid the attack came out of our intense therapy,

which triggered his emotional ability.

Actually, his competency at the time of the attack

is not at issue here.

But his premorbid condition is.

He suffers from well-documented psychogenic fugue states.

He was in one when the incident occurred.

Have you ever requested-- of anyone--

to be hit over the head with a blunt object,

rendering you unconscious? No.

Are you in love with Robert Logan?

No.

What? Why would she say that?

AMADOR Have you ever engaged

in sexual intercourse with him?

HEINTS: No, of course not.

What? Why are you lying?

Just tell them the truth.

Tell them you love me.

JUDGE: Counselor.

Robert, calm down.

AMADOR: Is it safe to say

your patient was, and is, sexually obsessed with you?

Not with me.

Then who?

You're the one he attacked.

The fantasized relationship

is projection based on transference.

In layman's terms?

He has confused the pain

of his severe childhood abuse

with the intimacy of our corrective therapy.

In his mind the two have melded,

and he is desperate to believe that we are in love.

Oh, come on. We are!

Why are you denying it? Just tell them that...

tell them you love me. Why won't you do that?

Just tell them you love me. Counselor, control your client.

Come on. Just tell them you love me. ( gavel pounding )

Robert, please. Robert, let her go.

Please, calm down. ( gavel pounding )

I am not who you think I am.

Robert, I'm your doctor.

Please, just tell them.

Just tell them you love me.

Please restrain this man!

Just tell them you love me.

Just... just tell them you love me, please.

Just tell them... just tell them you love me.

Just t-tell them. Tell them. Tell them.

You missed quite a circus.

Robert had a complete meltdown in court.

For show or for real?

It doesn't matter.

Judge deemed him unfit to proceed.

CHRISTINA: I'll tell you why.

Because of what that woman did to him.

I want her arrested for malpractice.

Christina Logan, this is Robert's sister.

This is our captain, Donald Cragen.

I'm sorry, Miss Logan.

This is a matter for civil court, not criminal.

Just listen.

This is what your illustrious Dr. Heints considers therapy.

HEINTZ ( on tape ): You know what my favorite time of the day is, Robert?

When you come out of the bathtub.

You're naked and clean and you smell so good.

I hold you close.

You find my breast with your lips, and you start to suckle.

( turns off tape ) I can't listen anymore.

It makes me sick.

Where did you get this?

I needed answers so I searched Robert's apartment.

You still think she's the victim?

BENSON: You were screwing your patient.

I absolutely was not.

HEINTS ( on tape ): Think about me

lying next to you in bed.

I wrap my arms around you and smother you with kisses.

Insurance cover a session like that?

It is not what it sounds like.

This is all part of Robert's therapy.

Sex therapy?

I'm a professional. This is my life's work.

I would never be inappropriate to a patient.

I was reparenting him.

Lady, I've got four kids.

If I ever talked to one of them like that, I'd arrest myself.

I had to regress Robert

to the point where he was traumatized

and give him the love and affection

he desperately needed, but never got.

And that just had to involve breasts, huh?

Yes.

A baby bonds with his mother

during breast-feeding.

So you simulated breast-feeding?

No, not physically.

I talked him through it.

Like phone sex.

There was never any physical contact.

I'd say the doctor has some unresolved issues of her own.

Maybe it's countertransference.

That's when the therapist

develops feelings for the patient.

It's not uncommon.

Well, and when the therapist has sex with a patient,

that's Rape Three.

And don't forget, he assaulted her.

She's the victim.

Well, they're both victims.

And perps.

We know Robert attacked her.

The judge ruled him unfit, so we can't touch him.

The question is: Did she have sex with him?

I ran Robert's picture past the junkies

busted at the shooting gallery that night.

No one puts him there.

What you got?

You talk to the lookout?

Mr. Bad-Ass is in the wind.

We're tracking him down.

He's the guy we need.

Everyone had to get past him.

One of my informants just did.

We're on it.

You drive.

Business never skips a beat.

I'm out.

Hey, man, I got no business here, man.

Then you're loitering.

Let's go. You're going to come with us.

Now, what do you want?

This guy ever cross your path?

Yeah, I seen him before.

MUNCH: Night of the bust?

No, couple weeks before that.

Doing what?

Passing out needles.

Showed up with one of those do-gooders.

What's his name?

Her. Pain-in-the-ass woman come around all the time,

passing out flyers for her clinic.

Pushing methadone?

Yeah. She gets a few,

but they always come home to Papi.

Robert's sister, Christina, works at a clinic.

Christina, that's the bitch's name.

Was she there that night?

Yeah, it was kind of weird.

She don't usually come around after dark.

It all makes sense now.

You hated Dr. Heints.

You tried to get her fired.

You tried to get her license taken away.

And when no one would do anything,

you decided to take it into your own hands, huh?

Who knows how many lives she's screwed up.

I doubt I'm her only enemy.

You're the only one a witness puts there that night.

I'm there all the time trying to help people.

He mixed up the nights.

He also plant your prints on duct tape?

The strip you used

to bind her.

STABLER: Hmm?

BENSON: Come on, Christina.

Tell us what happened.

After I checked Robert into the hospital,

I went back to his apartment and I found that... cassette.

I went crazy when I heard it.

I didn't know what to do.

The things she was doing to him--

they were humiliating.

I phoned her and told her that I was a friend of Robert's,

that he was in trouble and to please come quick.

Why the crack house?

It was the lowest place I know.

I wanted her to fall as far as Robert had.

BENSON: You sexually assaulted her.

No.

Christina, there was trauma to her genitals.

That's because I kicked her as hard as I could

between her whoring legs.

No matter what she did to your brother, this was

a pretty, um, extreme thing to do, don't you think?

I am all he has.

I've been looking out for him since he was seven,

when Mother died of cancer.

So, you were just being a good sister.

And if I have to go to jail for that, fine...

but she has to pay, too.

Christina insists on pressing charges against Dr. Heints.

That's a tough week for the doc.

Brutally attacked, life's work discredited.

Now she's facing jail time.

If she Freudian-slipped it to him,

she could end up serving longer than her attacker.

BENSON: It's Christina's first offense.

She's looking at a year, tops.

Dr. H. could do up to four.

STABLER: Yeah, well, Robert could be

screwed up for life.

He's turning out to be the only pure victim

in this whole thing.

That's messed up.

Well, so is this. Christina just told us

her mother died of cancer, right?

Yeah.

I just Googled the Logan family.

Newspaper article says that Victoria Logan

died in a house fire in 1987.

CRAGEN: You sure you got the right woman?

"Her son, Robert, age seven,

"was found wandering the streets

with no memory of what happened."

Sounds like one of his psychogenic fugue states.

Losing your mother in a fire?

That's probably what started them.

BENSON: The fire was suspicious.

Accelerant used was lighter fluid.

We thinking Robert set the fire?

What fire?

STABLER: The one that killed Robert's mother.

What are you talking about?

BENSON: Their house burned down when he was seven years old.

It's a matter of public record.

You two never talked about this?

We spent a year on his mother

and we never got anywhere near this.

Are you telling me he witnessed the death of his mother?

We believe that he may have caused it.

My God.

If I'd known this, I would have never taken him down that path.

This completely explains the attack.

He-/////!s not the one who attacked you.

What?

It was his sister

Christina.

Why?

STABLER: She felt you were responsible for Robert's condition.

Not for the reasons that she thinks.

I never touched him, but I did push him too far.

Listen to me.

It's imperative someone see him immediately,

to talk him through this.

You know that we can't allow you to do that.

No, of course not, I'm the worst person

at this point.

What about the psychiatrist you had see him?

Dr. Huang.

Did Robert respond to him at all?

He talked-- pretty freely, actually.

He's got to talk to him again.

Well, you got to give us something that he can go on.

Robert's mother was a religious fanatic.

She'd pull him out of bed in the middle of the night

and make him pray for his sins.

You're seven years old.

What sins does she think you committed?

I was born a boy and... boys are dirty.

Is that why she washes you?

All the time.

Does it hurt when she washes you?

Yes.

She... She...

She hits me down there.

Your genitals.

Yeah.

She ties a string around it, tight.

Why?

So it'll die and fall off.

Why would she want to castrate you?

Sex is evil.

That's what makes men bad.

Robert, when your mom died...

how did it make you feel?

I don't want to talk about it, okay?

I know it hurts.

You've kept it in too long.

Robert, you've got to let it out.

I can't.

I'm right here. Just take me through it.

I'm not allowed.

Who won't allow you?

I don't want to talk about it, okay? I can't.

I can't! I can't!

I don't...

Don't do this to me!

I don't want to talk about it!

Robert!

You don't have to keep punishing yourself.

We can take away the pain,

but we have to talk about the fire.

No, please... Please.

Your mother is in the house.

Where are you?

Where are you, Robert?

Outside.

Tell me what's going on.

I can hear her screaming.

She can't get out.

But you did get out--

after you set the fire.

No, I didn't set the fire.

Who did?

She did. Who's she?

I can't tell.

Why can't you tell?

Because I promised.

Who did you promise?

Christina.

It's okay, Robert. You had to tell.

Christina will understand.

No, she won't.

Why not?

She did something bad when she was little

and my mother sent her away.

She wasn't allowed to be there.

But she came back that night.

To save me.

BENSON: You killed your mother.

My mother threw me out when I was 14.

I never saw her again.

Why'd she kick you out?

She didn't approve of the boy I was seeing.

We heard she didn't approve of any boys at all.

What was that about?

One got me pregnant.

Mother nearly beat me to death,

and left me with relatives in Minnesota.

Told me never to come back.

But you did come back.

You were there the night of the fire.

You're mistaken.

I came back after I read about it in the paper.

No one here even knew I existed.

She told everyone Robert was her only child.

And we all know what she did to him.

Christina, we understand why you killed her.

We know the horrible things she did to your brother.

She wasn't abusing my brother.

She was abusing my son.

She tore him out of my arms the day he was born.

He was punished for seven years for my sins.

When you came back for him, you saw what she had done.

You had to protect him.

Wouldn't you do the same thing for your son?
