sexually based offenses

especially heinous.

Wow.

00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,938
This is a blast from the past.
13
00:00:27,930 --> 00:00:29,260
Where did you find this?
14
00:00:29,344 --> 00:00:30,463
The cloud.
15
00:00:30,548 --> 00:00:32,306
It's for a class project.
16
00:00:32,390 --> 00:00:33,916
"Where it began,
where it is now."
17
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,048
Mm.
18
00:00:35,133 --> 00:00:36,702
I can't believe
you said I was good.
19
00:00:36,786 --> 00:00:38,407
You were good.
20
00:00:38,954 --> 00:00:41,620
You know, I think there's
an even older one.
21
00:00:41,704 --> 00:00:42,727
It's okay.
22
00:00:42,812 --> 00:00:45,162
We gotta go anyway.
23
00:00:46,448 --> 00:00:48,061
You wanna tell me
what's going on?
24
00:00:48,145 --> 00:00:51,108
It's a surprise
for Mother's Day.

00:01:00,331 --> 00:01:02,858
Well, that's a nice
Mother's Day card.
28
00:01:02,942 --> 00:01:06,438
And is that your sister,
Elizabeth, by herself?
29
00:01:06,781 --> 00:01:08,134
I thought you liked her.
30
00:01:08,383 --> 00:01:11,860
I do, but Beth is away.
31
00:01:12,022 --> 00:01:14,158
It's been a really long time.
32
00:01:14,258 --> 00:01:17,177
Since last Sunday.
33
00:01:17,261 --> 00:01:19,266
Away? Where'd she go?
34
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:21,312
Someplace far.
35
00:01:21,396 --> 00:01:22,878
With Luke.
36
00:01:22,962 --> 00:01:24,228
Luke?
37
00:01:24,312 --> 00:01:27,013
Is he a relative?
38
00:01:27,097 --> 00:01:29,668
No, but he's a grown-up.
39
00:01:29,752 --> 00:01:32,279
Mommy and Daddy said
she's fine,
40
00:01:32,363 --> 00:01:36,196
but I don't think
she's ever coming back.

42
00:01:40,023 --> 00:01:41,375
The principal
called her parents,
43
00:01:41,459 --> 00:01:43,682
but they insisted
she was in bed with the flu.
44
00:01:43,766 --> 00:01:46,467
But her little brother said
that she was gone.
45
00:01:46,551 --> 00:01:48,426
Yeah, since last weekend.
46
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:51,211
He said she left with a man
named Luke.
47
00:01:51,295 --> 00:01:52,865
- Who's Luke?
- The parents say
48
00:01:52,949 --> 00:01:56,347
it's Elijah's imaginary friend,
but he's not that kind of kid.
49
00:01:56,431 --> 00:01:58,650
Something's off.
50
00:02:01,436 --> 00:02:02,570
Oh, my goodness.
51
00:02:02,654 --> 00:02:05,704
This is all
a complete misunderstanding.
52
00:02:05,788 --> 00:02:09,708
Beth and, um, Luke Davis...
He's a trusted family friend...
53
00:02:09,792 --> 00:02:12,885
They are on a mission trip
upstate rebuilding houses
54
00:02:12,969 --> 00:02:14,056
for refugees.
55
00:02:14,141 --> 00:02:15,798
And that's her there?
56
00:02:15,883 --> 00:02:17,105
- Yeah.
- Yes.
57
00:02:17,365 --> 00:02:20,588
So why tell the school
that she was sick
58
00:02:20,672 --> 00:02:24,509
and that Luke was your son's
imaginary friend?
59
00:02:24,594 --> 00:02:25,898
We should've just
told the truth.
60
00:02:25,982 --> 00:02:28,127
- Yeah.
- But, uh, we didn't want her
61
00:02:28,212 --> 00:02:30,990
to be judged for missing class
for a church project, so.
62
00:02:31,074 --> 00:02:32,948
So where are they exactly
right now?
63
00:02:33,032 --> 00:02:34,167
In Bloomingburg.
64
00:02:34,251 --> 00:02:36,025
Our church runs a housing
mission up there.
65
00:02:36,110 --> 00:02:37,431
Yeah,
Beth really wanted to go,
66
00:02:37,515 --> 00:02:40,695
and Paul and I had work,
so Luke was generous enough
67
00:02:40,779 --> 00:02:42,306
to rent a car and drive her up.
68
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:43,655
They're staying at the mission
69
00:02:43,739 --> 00:02:45,831
with all of the other kids
and the chaperones.
70
00:02:45,915 --> 00:02:48,094
When's the last time
you heard from Beth?
71
00:02:48,178 --> 00:02:50,488
Well, uh, we don't let
her have a cell phone.
72
00:02:50,572 --> 00:02:52,577
- Yeah.
- Um, but, um, Luke did text us
73
00:02:52,661 --> 00:02:54,709
a picture the Sunday
that they left.
74
00:02:54,793 --> 00:02:56,015
- Yeah.
- And... and yeah.
75
00:02:56,099 --> 00:02:57,843
He did say that cell service
would be spotty
76
00:02:57,927 --> 00:02:59,323
once they got up to the woods.
77
00:02:59,407 --> 00:03:02,064
Well, even so,
we'll need his number.
78
00:03:02,148 --> 00:03:03,152
- Okay.
- Yeah.
79
00:03:03,236 --> 00:03:05,720
The school made
a police report
80
00:03:05,804 --> 00:03:08,375
so we are gonna have to verify
your daughter's safety.
81
00:03:08,459 --> 00:03:09,463
Oh.
[both laugh]
82
00:03:09,547 --> 00:03:10,951
Okay, well, uh,
83
00:03:11,036 --> 00:03:12,771
I have a number
for the head of the mission,
84
00:03:12,855 --> 00:03:14,729
but he doesn't always pick up,
so...
85
00:03:14,813 --> 00:03:17,819
There's really nothing
to worry about.
86
00:03:17,903 --> 00:03:19,995
She's gonna be back
by Mother's Day.
87
00:03:20,079 --> 00:03:21,214
Yeah.
88
00:03:21,298 --> 00:03:22,998
[Suspenseful music]
89
00:03:23,082 --> 00:03:24,435
So we cannot verify
90
00:03:24,519 --> 00:03:25,784
that this girl
is at the mission.
91
00:03:25,868 --> 00:03:27,742
- No.
- Do we know that it exists?
92
00:03:27,826 --> 00:03:29,135
Well, according
to the county sheriff,
93
00:03:29,219 --> 00:03:31,006
it does, and the number
that the parents gave us
94
00:03:31,090 --> 00:03:32,486
for the guy who runs
the mission is legit,
95
00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:34,314
but his mailbox is full.
96
00:03:34,398 --> 00:03:35,446
Thank you.
97
00:03:35,530 --> 00:03:37,448
We got a bigger problem.
98
00:03:37,532 --> 00:03:39,798
The number for Luke Davis
is a recent burner.
99
00:03:39,882 --> 00:03:40,929
It's turned off.
100
00:03:41,013 --> 00:03:43,149
It's gone off straight
to voicemail.
101
00:03:43,233 --> 00:03:44,977
I'll alert the state police.
102
00:03:45,061 --> 00:03:46,587
Drive up to Bloomingburg.
103
00:03:46,671 --> 00:03:47,803
Find this girl.
104
00:03:53,112 --> 00:03:55,422
I told the trooper,
my mailbox is full
105
00:03:55,506 --> 00:03:57,598
because I hate to delete
people's nice messages
106
00:03:57,682 --> 00:03:59,339
- and the service up here...
- Yeah, I know. It's spotty.
107
00:03:59,423 --> 00:04:00,384
We just need to know
108
00:04:00,468 --> 00:04:01,907
if you've seen this girl,
Beth Lee.
109
00:04:01,991 --> 00:04:04,475
She would've been with a man
named Luke Davis.
110
00:04:04,559 --> 00:04:06,041
Yeah, he's a worship leader
in the city.
111
00:04:06,125 --> 00:04:07,652
Comes up here every year
with a bunch of kids.
112
00:04:07,736 --> 00:04:08,827
He's great with them.
113
00:04:08,911 --> 00:04:10,176
Was he and Beth here
this past week?
114
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:11,612
No.
115
00:04:11,696 --> 00:04:14,659
Luke called to set it up,
but like I told the trooper,
116
00:04:14,743 --> 00:04:15,747
they never made it up here.
117
00:04:15,831 --> 00:04:16,748
I thought it might be COVID.
118
00:04:16,832 --> 00:04:19,664
Maybe you should call him.
119
00:04:19,748 --> 00:04:21,097
If you hear from him,
let us know.
120
00:04:24,666 --> 00:04:26,192
What are we looking at here?
121
00:04:26,276 --> 00:04:27,541

Aired on:
May 05, 2022.
128
00:05:17,338 --> 00:05:19,292
Oh, my God.
Something must've happened.
129
00:05:19,393 --> 00:05:21,964
- A car accident or...
- Well, we've actually checked
130
00:05:22,049 --> 00:05:23,479
with local authorities
and hospitals,
131
00:05:23,564 --> 00:05:25,729
and no one matching
your daughter's description
132
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:26,834
has shown up.
133
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:28,549
You said he left
in a rental car.
134
00:05:28,633 --> 00:05:29,812
Do you know what agency?
135
00:05:29,896 --> 00:05:30,856
- Um...
- No.
136
00:05:30,940 --> 00:05:31,814
- Um, I will...
- Yeah.
137
00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:33,077
Text Luke again.
138
00:05:33,421 --> 00:05:35,208
Mrs. Lee,
the number you gave us
139
00:05:35,292 --> 00:05:37,907
came from a burner cell,
a throwaway.
140
00:05:37,991 --> 00:05:39,560
Uh, Luke said his old phone
wasn't working...
141
00:05:39,644 --> 00:05:40,518
That he had to get a new one.
142
00:05:40,602 --> 00:05:41,649
From our experience,
143
00:05:41,733 --> 00:05:43,129
people that use burner cells
144
00:05:43,213 --> 00:05:44,957
usually have something to hide.
145
00:05:45,041 --> 00:05:46,916
Maybe... maybe
they got carjacked.
146
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,135
- Luke is always so trusting.
- I know.
147
00:05:49,219 --> 00:05:50,136
- You hear about...
- Why didn't he text you then?
148
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:51,311
I don't know! I don't know.
149
00:05:51,395 --> 00:05:52,965
Maybe he's dead
in a ditch somewhere.
150
00:05:53,049 --> 00:05:54,445
Where's Beth though?
151
00:05:54,529 --> 00:05:56,186
You said that your daughter
doesn't have a phone,
152
00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:59,232
but does she have, um,
a laptop or an iPad?
153
00:05:59,316 --> 00:06:00,886
Just for homework,
not social media.
154
00:06:00,970 --> 00:06:03,236
Still,
any detail might be helpful.
155
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,849
So Mr. Lee, would you mind
Sergeant Tutuola her bedroom?
156
00:06:06,933 --> 00:06:09,196
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
157
00:06:10,458 --> 00:06:13,464
She goes to school.
She goes to church.
158
00:06:13,548 --> 00:06:14,508
She's a good girl.
159
00:06:14,592 --> 00:06:15,858
It's, uh, right here.
160
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,686
I can see that.
How'd you meet Luke?
161
00:06:18,770 --> 00:06:19,862
Uh, through our church.
162
00:06:19,946 --> 00:06:21,167
He's part of our Life Group,
163
00:06:21,251 --> 00:06:22,908
the Bible study we host.
164
00:06:22,992 --> 00:06:24,344
Is that where he met Beth?
165
00:06:24,428 --> 00:06:28,609
Yes, and, uh,
he also teaches her guitar.
166
00:06:28,693 --> 00:06:32,135
He's a songwriter...
How he makes a living.
167
00:06:32,219 --> 00:06:35,399
Listen, we always felt
like we could trust him.
168
00:06:35,483 --> 00:06:37,401
Even so.
169
00:06:37,485 --> 00:06:39,490
Fathers worry.
170
00:06:39,574 --> 00:06:41,971
Upstate for over a week.
171
00:06:42,055 --> 00:06:43,886

Claire said yes.
175
00:06:49,323 --> 00:06:52,674

00:13:37,887 --> 00:13:39,239
to spend the summer with.
357
00:13:39,323 --> 00:13:42,765
Okay, did Nick ever
spend time alone with Eva?
358
00:13:42,849 --> 00:13:45,419
I used to work
the night shift.
359
00:13:45,503 --> 00:13:47,987
But she swore to me
that they just
360
00:13:48,071 --> 00:13:49,554
watched movies and cuddled.
361
00:13:49,638 --> 00:13:52,688
But you were worried
about it?
362
00:13:52,772 --> 00:13:55,125
I could never say a bad word
about him.
363
00:13:55,209 --> 00:13:56,779
It was like he brainwashed her.
364
00:13:56,863 --> 00:13:59,085
Right, and this lake house,
do you remember where it was?
365
00:13:59,169 --> 00:14:01,348
He showed us pictures. A map.
366
00:14:01,432 --> 00:14:04,090
The town, the cabin.
367
00:14:04,174 --> 00:14:05,613
It was pretty remote.
368
00:14:05,697 --> 00:14:08,704
- Okay.
- Near Tupper Lake.
369
00:14:08,788 --> 00:14:12,795
I remember
it was off Gentle Rain Drive.
370

The most powerful act of love
is forgiveness.
371
00:14:16,839 --> 00:14:19,540
- I am working on that.
- Oh, good.
372
00:14:19,624 --> 00:14:21,891
Because your daughter
is gonna need both of you.
373
00:14:21,975 --> 00:14:23,806
- You found her?
- We're close.
374
00:14:23,890 --> 00:14:27,723
Nick's family has a cabin
on Tupper Lake upstate.
375
00:14:27,807 --> 00:14:32,205
Has he ever mentioned taking
Beth or your family there?
376
00:14:32,289 --> 00:14:33,859
- Mm-mm.
- Uh, no.
377
00:14:33,943 --> 00:14:36,079
But apparently there's a lot
of things he didn't mention.
378
00:14:36,163 --> 00:14:37,341
Paul,
this is about our daughter.
379
00:14:37,425 --> 00:14:39,517
Mr. and Mrs. Lee,
380
00:14:39,601 --> 00:14:41,737
this man has been grooming
your daughter
381
00:14:41,821 --> 00:14:43,739
for over 2 1/2 years.
382
00:14:43,823 --> 00:14:46,916
And now he's been alone
with her for over a week,
383
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,746
and in my experience,
there are many different ways
384
00:14:50,830 --> 00:14:53,836
that a teenage girl could react
to a situation like this.
385
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,187
I... I am sure
he wouldn't hurt her.
386
00:14:57,271 --> 00:14:59,580
We understand, Captain.
387
00:14:59,664 --> 00:15:03,149
Just, uh,
bring our daughter home.

They know she's safe here,

Nick Pearce,
you're under arrest
401
00:15:56,069 --> 00:15:57,595
for kidnapping a minor.

I am home.

- You need to come with us.

not physically harmed.
422
00:16:35,587 --> 00:16:36,678
Sexual assault?
423
00:16:36,762 --> 00:16:37,636
Talked to her
in the ambulance.
424
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,637
She said all they did was hug,
425
00:16:38,721 --> 00:16:40,291
but she sounded coached.
426
00:16:40,375 --> 00:16:43,381
- Did you do a rape kit?
- We asked. She refused.
427
00:16:43,465 --> 00:16:45,426
She also refused
a pregnancy test.
428
00:16:45,510 --> 00:16:46,558
She's 14.
429
00:16:46,642 --> 00:16:48,690
I mean,
it's her right to decide.
430
00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:50,910
Her, uh, parents disagree.
431
00:16:50,994 --> 00:16:54,000
I explained that to force her
is against hospital policy
432
00:16:54,084 --> 00:16:55,393
and the law.
433
00:16:55,477 --> 00:16:57,658
Good luck talking to them.
434
00:16:58,001 --> 00:17:00,311
Mr. and Mrs. Lee,
so the good news
435
00:17:00,395 --> 00:17:03,206
is that your daughter is safe
and not physically harmed.
436
00:17:03,291 --> 00:17:04,604
And we are very grateful.
437
00:17:04,689 --> 00:17:07,187
She said that Luke... Nick
didn't do anything to her
438
00:17:07,271 --> 00:17:08,232
like that.
439
00:17:08,316 --> 00:17:09,886
She's been brainwashed,
Claire.
440
00:17:09,970 --> 00:17:12,366
She was reluctant
to leave the cabin.
441
00:17:12,450 --> 00:17:14,891
And him. She's attached.
442
00:17:14,975 --> 00:17:16,675
Well, they've been close
for a long time.
443
00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:18,372
That doesn't mean
that they had sex.
444
00:17:18,456 --> 00:17:20,897
Did... did she say that they did?
445
00:17:20,981 --> 00:17:22,899
Uh, she said
that they hugged.
446
00:17:22,983 --> 00:17:25,727
Right, which is why we need
that rape kit, right?
447
00:17:25,811 --> 00:17:27,207
To prove that nothing happened.
448
00:17:27,291 --> 00:17:30,689
She's 14, and you understand
that we cannot force her
449
00:17:30,773 --> 00:17:32,169
to consent to an exam.
450
00:17:32,253 --> 00:17:34,040
Why?
I'm her mother. She's my child.
451
00:17:34,124 --> 00:17:36,216
I... I force her
to eat her vegetables
452
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:37,391
and do her homework.
453
00:17:37,475 --> 00:17:39,785
Why can't you sedate her
and just do it?
454
00:17:39,869 --> 00:17:42,048
That's not an option
in New York.
455

- [Sighs]
- Okay, Claire.
456
00:17:44,004 --> 00:17:46,226
Now's not the time
to force her to do anything.
457
00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:48,402
Maybe a test for disease
or pregnancy.
458
00:17:48,486 --> 00:17:51,275
We cannot force her
to have a pregnancy exam
459
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,972
without her permission.
460
00:17:53,056 --> 00:17:55,061
She's not pregnant.

00:17:55,145 --> 00:17:58,760
- Paul, he wouldn't...
- Do you hear yourself?
462
00:17:58,844 --> 00:18:01,111
We're still protecting him.
463
00:18:01,195 --> 00:18:05,898
- He kidnapped Beth.
- We don't know that, Paul.
464
00:18:05,982 --> 00:18:08,596
She is safe. They said.

Of Beth and I planting
the seeds of a new church.
483
00:18:50,374 --> 00:18:52,989
Beth and I, we both felt it,
and we knew we were going
484
00:18:53,073 --> 00:18:56,296
to need help,
so I was like, "Okay, God.

Yeah, you're in control."
486

that this church

sexual activity.

Not guilty, Your Honor.

- People on bail?
- Remand.
592
00:23:17,602 --> 00:23:18,863
Mr. Pearce is being charged
593
00:23:18,947 --> 00:23:19,907
with abducting
a 14-year-old girl

00:23:25,127 --> 00:23:26,175
there was no kidnapping.

Hold up. Hold up.
My client is the victim here.
610

of his search for spirituality

of sexual deviance.

- Be careful, Mr. Pace.

- How can he just say that?
- I'm sorry.

Sit down, Mr. Lee. Sit down.
618

I also have evidence
that my client is willing
619
00:24:04,645 --> 00:24:07,825
to testify to
that Paul Lee forced him
620
00:24:07,909 --> 00:24:11,568

I'll be bringing in a motion

00:27:42,632 --> 00:27:45,725
He swore that he wasn't gay.
708
00:27:45,809 --> 00:27:49,987
But that he just, um,
felt close to me.
709
00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:56,736
And we agreed that it was best
not to tell anyone.
710
00:27:56,820 --> 00:27:58,300
It was a sin.
711
00:27:59,823 --> 00:28:00,998
We prayed.
712
00:28:03,784 --> 00:28:05,006
Just that one time?
713
00:28:05,090 --> 00:28:10,533
[♪]
714
00:28:10,617 --> 00:28:12,578
[Sighs]
715
00:28:12,662 --> 00:28:13,968
Maybe once or twice after.
716
00:28:17,754 --> 00:28:21,454
Does, uh,
does Claire have to know?
717
00:28:24,196 --> 00:28:25,504
It would just hurt her.
718
00:28:25,588 --> 00:28:27,854
Paul, she's gonna find out.
719
00:28:27,938 --> 00:28:29,247
In my experience,
anything a defendant
720
00:28:29,331 --> 00:28:31,597
can use against you,
they usually do.
721
00:28:31,681 --> 00:28:35,036
[♪]
722
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,256
So this guy made moves
on the mother and the father
723
00:28:38,340 --> 00:28:41,259
as insurance policies in case
he needs to blackmail them?
724
00:28:41,343 --> 00:28:43,870
He is a sophisticated
predator.
725
00:28:43,954 --> 00:28:46,134
He gained their trust.
He got leverage.
726
00:28:46,218 --> 00:28:48,788
All to be with Beth.
He...
727
00:28:48,872 --> 00:28:49,833
he's obsessed.
728
00:28:49,917 --> 00:28:51,617
- And dangerous.
- Not anymore.
729
00:28:51,701 --> 00:28:53,663
I mean, can't Carisi get
a conviction on kidnapping?
730
00:28:53,747 --> 00:28:56,361
It's not on Carisi,
and Beth won't testify,
731
00:28:56,445 --> 00:28:58,450
and the parents
did give permission
732
00:28:58,534 --> 00:28:59,364
for Nick to take her.
733
00:28:59,448 --> 00:29:01,149
This level of manipulation,
734
00:29:01,233 --> 00:29:02,498
he has to have done it before.
735
00:29:02,582 --> 00:29:04,065
Is there no case to be made
736
00:29:04,149 --> 00:29:05,414
with Nadine and the daughter?
737
00:29:05,498 --> 00:29:07,111
Well, we tried,
and Nadine is willing to help,
738
00:29:07,195 --> 00:29:09,070
but Eva's father is against it.
739
00:29:09,154 --> 00:29:10,723
She's probably scared
of losing custody
740
00:29:10,807 --> 00:29:13,291
so she won't cooperate.
741
00:29:13,375 --> 00:29:16,729
This guy knows how
to pick his victims.
742
00:29:16,813 --> 00:29:19,819
"Have I become your enemy
by telling you the truth?"
743
00:29:19,903 --> 00:29:21,169
Book of Galatians.
744
00:29:21,253 --> 00:29:22,953
What, are you Bible-splaining
to me now?
745
00:29:23,037 --> 00:29:24,563
No,
I'm just explaining to you
746
00:29:24,647 --> 00:29:27,914
that a lot uncomfortable truths
have emerged.
747
00:29:27,998 --> 00:29:29,481
- You called this meeting.
- Yeah.
748
00:29:29,565 --> 00:29:31,135
Where are we
on dropping the charges?
749
00:29:31,219 --> 00:29:33,006
Nowhere, your client's still
looking at Kidnapping Two
750
00:29:33,090 --> 00:29:34,007
at a minimum.
751
00:29:34,091 --> 00:29:35,096
The thing is,
752
00:29:35,180 --> 00:29:36,184
if you put my client on trial,
753
00:29:36,268 --> 00:29:37,620
I'm gonna put the Lees
on trial.
754
00:29:37,704 --> 00:29:40,362
The jury will hear
this is a couple experimenting
755
00:29:40,446 --> 00:29:43,843
with their sexuality,
jealous of each other.
756
00:29:43,927 --> 00:29:45,193
Wait, is that necessary?
757
00:29:45,277 --> 00:29:46,368
Haven't they
been through enough?
758
00:29:46,452 --> 00:29:48,283
Well,
you could always plead guilty.
759
00:29:48,367 --> 00:29:50,459
Oh, to kidnapping.
I didn't kidnap her.
760
00:29:50,543 --> 00:29:52,200
We might consider
child endangerment.
761
00:29:52,284 --> 00:29:53,853
A misdemeanor? Nice try.
762
00:29:53,937 --> 00:29:56,160
Endangerment, no.
I protected Beth.
763
00:29:56,244 --> 00:29:57,509
- Please.
- Listen.
764
00:29:57,593 --> 00:30:01,339
The DA is never going to agree
to a misdemeanor.
765
00:30:01,423 --> 00:30:03,559
Okay, guys, we're all
on the same side here.
766
00:30:03,643 --> 00:30:05,517
Don't we all want
what's best for Beth?
767
00:30:05,601 --> 00:30:08,216
What exactly do you think
that is, Mr. Pearce?
768
00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:10,261
For the Lees to allow me
to marry her.
769
00:30:10,345 --> 00:30:12,176
- Nick.
- No. Please, go on.
770
00:30:12,260 --> 00:30:14,091
I gotta hear this.
771
00:30:14,175 --> 00:30:16,267
Okay, I...
772
00:30:16,351 --> 00:30:20,750
I want to protect her
for the rest of her life.
773
00:30:20,834 --> 00:30:22,708
Till death do us part.
774
00:30:22,792 --> 00:30:25,015
If her parents give us
permission to marry,
775
00:30:25,099 --> 00:30:28,497
then none of this has to be
argued in court.
776
00:30:28,581 --> 00:30:30,455
Her parents obviously
have marital problems.
777
00:30:30,539 --> 00:30:34,633
They need time to be together
to heal, to focus on Elijah.
778
00:30:34,717 --> 00:30:35,765
Look, I'm sorry.
779
00:30:35,849 --> 00:30:37,897
I think I've heard enough.
780
00:30:37,981 --> 00:30:39,551
We are not dropping
the charges.
781
00:30:39,635 --> 00:30:41,727
And I look forward to hearing
your client explain what's best
782
00:30:41,811 --> 00:30:43,425
for Beth on the stand.
783
00:30:43,509 --> 00:30:48,256
[♪]
784
00:30:48,340 --> 00:30:49,518
Nick Pearce
won't take a plea?
785
00:30:49,602 --> 00:30:51,650
No, and his
religious conviction...
786
00:30:51,734 --> 00:30:54,566
I'm starting to think
that it's not an act.
787
00:30:54,650 --> 00:30:55,872
What does that mean?
788
00:30:55,956 --> 00:30:58,527
It means he could read
as crazy to the jury.
789
00:30:58,611 --> 00:30:59,702
So could the family.
790
00:30:59,786 --> 00:31:00,964
Beth's still not willing
to testify?
791
00:31:01,048 --> 00:31:02,400
No.
I tried to talk to her parents
792
00:31:02,484 --> 00:31:04,794
about seeing a therapist,
but there's no way
793
00:31:04,878 --> 00:31:06,099
they're gonna go
to an outsider,
794
00:31:06,183 --> 00:31:07,927
so they're having
supper tonight
795
00:31:08,011 --> 00:31:09,102
with their church group.
796
00:31:09,186 --> 00:31:10,278
Well,
without her cooperation,
797
00:31:10,362 --> 00:31:11,931
I'm gonna need both of you
to testify.
798
00:31:12,015 --> 00:31:13,237
Copy that, Counselor.
799
00:31:13,321 --> 00:31:15,848
Well, keep me posted
if anything changes.
800
00:31:15,932 --> 00:31:18,283
- See you tonight?
- You will.
801
00:31:21,286 --> 00:31:24,596
Um, you can go ahead and go.
I'll do the DD5s.
802
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,598
No, you should go.
You're the one with kids.
803
00:31:26,682 --> 00:31:28,296
- Mm.
- Two little girls, right?
804
00:31:28,380 --> 00:31:30,123
Jesse and Billie.
805
00:31:30,207 --> 00:31:32,213
That's... that's a lot
and working full-time.
806
00:31:32,297 --> 00:31:34,342
I have a lot of help.
807
00:31:35,691 --> 00:31:38,393
Carisi seems like he's great
with kids.
808
00:31:38,477 --> 00:31:40,786
Mm-hmm.
809
00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:41,874
Did he tell you that?
810
00:31:41,958 --> 00:31:43,354
I'm a trained detective.
811
00:31:43,438 --> 00:31:46,052
I kind of, uh, deduced it.
812
00:31:46,136 --> 00:31:48,530
So do he and Captain Murphy
get along?
813
00:31:51,403 --> 00:31:54,409
Did you deduce that, too,
Detective?
814
00:31:54,493 --> 00:31:56,585
[laughs]
No, uh,
815
00:31:56,669 --> 00:31:58,935
there's a Hebrew phrase
my dad used to say to me.
816
00:31:59,019 --> 00:32:01,024
[Speaking Hebrew]
817
00:32:01,108 --> 00:32:02,634
"You don't choose your family."
818
00:32:02,718 --> 00:32:04,067
Mm.
819
00:32:06,069 --> 00:32:08,466
Not good. It's the Lees.
820
00:32:08,550 --> 00:32:09,641
Beth is missing.
821
00:32:09,725 --> 00:32:11,077
Again.
822
00:32:11,161 --> 00:32:17,214
[♪]
823
00:32:17,298 --> 00:32:18,824
You have to find her.
You have to find her.
824
00:32:18,908 --> 00:32:21,349
- Well, what happened?
- Um, we... we finished supper.
825
00:32:21,433 --> 00:32:22,872
Our Bible study group,
they were loving on her.
826
00:32:22,956 --> 00:32:24,352
She seemed so joyful.
827
00:32:24,436 --> 00:32:27,093
- Okay, and then what?
- Um, uh, they...
828
00:32:27,177 --> 00:32:29,182
She went to the bathroom
inside.
829
00:32:29,266 --> 00:32:30,706
We've been watching her
like a hawk.
830
00:32:30,790 --> 00:32:31,794
I looked at Claire like
831
00:32:31,878 --> 00:32:32,838
"You should do in there
with her."
832
00:32:32,922 --> 00:32:33,839
How long ago?
833
00:32:33,923 --> 00:32:35,363
Uh, a half hour now.
834
00:32:35,447 --> 00:32:36,581
She was only gone ten minutes,
and then Claire went in
835
00:32:36,665 --> 00:32:38,061
- to check on her.
- And she was missing?
836
00:32:38,145 --> 00:32:39,541
- Yeah.
- Did anyone see her
837
00:32:39,625 --> 00:32:40,672
- inside the restaurant?
- Yeah.
838
00:32:40,756 --> 00:32:41,978
Um, a waitress said
839
00:32:42,062 --> 00:32:43,458
that they saw her leave
out the front door.
840
00:32:43,542 --> 00:32:45,198
Well, she couldn't
have gone far.
841
00:32:45,282 --> 00:32:46,243
I'll put out an alert.
842
00:32:46,327 --> 00:32:48,201
This must've been Nick.
843
00:32:48,285 --> 00:32:50,508
We're never gonna
see her again, are we?
844
00:32:50,592 --> 00:32:57,512
[♪]
845
00:32:59,079 --> 00:33:01,867
Time stamp says 6:00 p.m.,
and you saw her leave?
846
00:33:01,951 --> 00:33:03,173
I... I told the parents.
847
00:33:03,257 --> 00:33:05,436
Um, she was in the bathroom
for a while.
848
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,395
I knocked to ask
if she was okay.
849
00:33:07,479 --> 00:33:09,266
- And what'd she say?
- She came right out.
850
00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:10,441
Kinda giddy.
851
00:33:10,525 --> 00:33:12,487
She said she was late
to meet someone.
852
00:33:12,571 --> 00:33:14,445
I told her she looked pretty.
853
00:33:14,529 --> 00:33:16,055
I think she changed
in the bathroom.
854
00:33:16,139 --> 00:33:17,709
Did she say
where she was going?
855
00:33:17,793 --> 00:33:20,886
No, no, I had no idea
she was running away.
856
00:33:20,970 --> 00:33:23,411
I... I... I should've told
the parents earlier,
857
00:33:23,495 --> 00:33:25,369
but, you know,
she just seemed so happy...
858
00:33:25,453 --> 00:33:28,241
You did nothing wrong.
Thank you.
859
00:33:28,325 --> 00:33:30,069
- And Nick somehow got to her.
- Yeah.
860
00:33:30,153 --> 00:33:31,767
We got a problem.
861
00:33:31,851 --> 00:33:33,769
Molly Adams
from the Lees' church?
862
00:33:33,853 --> 00:33:35,423
Yeah, we talked to her
and Daniel earlier.
863
00:33:35,507 --> 00:33:36,641
They don't know anything.
864
00:33:36,725 --> 00:33:37,816
Yeah, well,
she said she didn't wanna
865
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:39,165
say this around her husband.
866
00:33:39,249 --> 00:33:40,906
That Beth asked her
to get a message to Nick.
867
00:33:40,990 --> 00:33:42,212
A Bible quote.
868
00:33:42,296 --> 00:33:43,387
What Bible quote?
869
00:33:43,471 --> 00:33:45,171
1 Corinthians 3:11.
870
00:33:45,255 --> 00:33:47,173
"For no one can lay
any other foundation
871
00:33:47,257 --> 00:33:48,871
than that which has been laid."
872
00:33:48,955 --> 00:33:50,133
Molly said it was from Daniel's
873
00:33:50,217 --> 00:33:51,656
"Bridge Over Troubled Water"
sermon.
874
00:33:51,740 --> 00:33:53,528
White dress
and meeting someone?
875
00:33:53,612 --> 00:33:56,269
She thinks
that she's getting married.
876
00:33:56,353 --> 00:34:00,448
So somewhere near water
or a bridge.
877
00:34:00,532 --> 00:34:03,625
She had the Brooklyn Bridge
on her screen saver.
878
00:34:03,709 --> 00:34:08,978
[♪]
879
00:34:09,062 --> 00:34:10,980
Nick Pearce!
880
00:34:11,064 --> 00:34:12,982
Step away from the girl.
881
00:34:13,066 --> 00:34:15,506
- What's this about?
- You violated the OOP.
882
00:34:15,590 --> 00:34:17,465
- She asked to see me.
- I did.
883
00:34:17,549 --> 00:34:19,031
Luke and I are exchanging vows.
884
00:34:19,115 --> 00:34:20,903
- Beth, you need to come with...
- Hands behind your back.
885
00:34:20,987 --> 00:34:23,253
- They can't do this to us!
- We need to get you to safety.
886
00:34:23,337 --> 00:34:24,472
I am safe!
887
00:34:24,556 --> 00:34:25,777
- Okay.
- We're the chosen ones!
888
00:34:25,861 --> 00:34:27,300
Beth, they're not
gonna believe us.
889
00:34:27,384 --> 00:34:29,781
"We walk by faith,
not by sight."
890
00:34:29,865 --> 00:34:33,306
You can't hurt us.
I'm carrying God's baby!
891
00:34:33,390 --> 00:34:36,568
[Dramatic music]
892
00:34:38,915 --> 00:34:40,181
You can't hurt us.
893
00:34:40,266 --> 00:34:42,224
I'm carrying God's baby!
894
00:34:46,244 --> 00:34:48,249
What does that mean?
Is she pregnant?
895
00:34:48,333 --> 00:34:51,378
There's no way to know
if it's true or not.
896
00:34:51,463 --> 00:34:53,120
Can't you just put Nick
away now?
897
00:34:53,205 --> 00:34:54,296
He's kidnapped her again.
898
00:34:54,380 --> 00:34:55,820
He violated
the protection order,
899
00:34:55,904 --> 00:34:57,822
but he met Beth
at a public place.
900
00:34:57,906 --> 00:34:58,953
That's not kidnapping.
901
00:34:59,037 --> 00:35:01,260
And she did initiate
the contact.
902
00:35:01,344 --> 00:35:07,570
Because of his hold over her.
903
00:35:07,654 --> 00:35:09,964
He was... oh, my God.
904
00:35:10,048 --> 00:35:12,314
He was planning this all along.
905
00:35:12,398 --> 00:35:15,100
Wasn't he?
He was using me and Paul.
906
00:35:15,184 --> 00:35:18,190
Oh, my God.
[sobbing]
907
00:35:18,274 --> 00:35:21,976
He is obsessed
with your daughter.
908
00:35:22,060 --> 00:35:24,500
And she is with him.
909
00:35:24,584 --> 00:35:26,198
You're telling me
there's no way
910
00:35:26,282 --> 00:35:27,979
to get him out of her life?
911
00:35:29,372 --> 00:35:31,417
Your daughter's gonna be 15
next month?
912
00:35:35,769 --> 00:35:37,597
There might be one way.
913
00:35:40,905 --> 00:35:42,344
Why are we here?
914
00:35:42,428 --> 00:35:45,739
I know how much
you wanna marry Nick.
915
00:35:45,823 --> 00:35:47,718
Luke. Luke.
916
00:35:47,818 --> 00:35:51,608
And your father and I,
we want you to be happy.
917
00:35:51,701 --> 00:35:53,749
Then let me see him.
918
00:35:54,013 --> 00:35:56,192
I'm... I... I'm trying
to figure it out.
919
00:35:56,355 --> 00:35:57,882
There's the Order
of Protection.
920
00:35:58,053 --> 00:35:59,884
And whose fault is that?
921
00:35:59,968 --> 00:36:04,192
We... we thought we were doing
the right thing, okay?
922
00:36:04,276 --> 00:36:07,413
Uh, I know now
that we were wrong.
923
00:36:07,497 --> 00:36:14,246
But your dad and I might have
a solution.
924
00:36:14,330 --> 00:36:16,117
I'm keeping the baby.
925
00:36:16,201 --> 00:36:18,337
And Luke and I,
when I'm old enough,
926
00:36:18,421 --> 00:36:20,121
we're going to get married.
927
00:36:20,205 --> 00:36:23,255
- No matter what you say.
- Here's the thing.
928
00:36:23,339 --> 00:36:27,999
You turn 15 in a month.
929
00:36:28,083 --> 00:36:29,565
Don't you?
930
00:36:29,649 --> 00:36:31,306
So if you are pregnant
931
00:36:31,390 --> 00:36:34,396
and if you have
parental consent,
932
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,357
you can get married
in the state of Maryland.
933
00:36:38,441 --> 00:36:41,708
What if we gave permission?
934
00:36:41,792 --> 00:36:43,275
You'd do that?
935
00:36:43,359 --> 00:36:46,887
- You and Dad?
- Beth.
936
00:36:46,971 --> 00:36:49,281
You know, we can't stand
living like this.
937
00:36:49,365 --> 00:36:52,806
You unhappy, hating us.
938
00:36:52,890 --> 00:36:55,678
The state is gonna need proof
of the pregnancy,
939
00:36:55,762 --> 00:36:57,724
proof that Luke is the father.
940
00:36:57,808 --> 00:36:58,943
I'd need to ask Luke.
941
00:36:59,027 --> 00:37:00,422
Well, you... you can't.
942
00:37:00,506 --> 00:37:03,773
But, listen,
let's just go to the hospital,
943
00:37:03,857 --> 00:37:04,949
you and I, get this done.
944
00:37:05,033 --> 00:37:07,212
I will... I will tell the ADA
945
00:37:07,296 --> 00:37:09,605
that no one will testify
at trial,
946
00:37:09,689 --> 00:37:14,219
and he'll have
to drop the charges.
947
00:37:14,303 --> 00:37:17,657
I prayed for this.
948
00:37:17,741 --> 00:37:19,180
So did I.
949
00:37:19,264 --> 00:37:22,140
[Soft music]
950
00:37:22,224 --> 00:37:24,316
[♪]
951
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,534
Oh, gosh, needed to do this
for a long time.
952
00:37:31,581 --> 00:37:32,756
I love you, Beth.
953
00:37:37,065 --> 00:37:40,201
I love you, Beth.
954
00:37:40,285 --> 00:37:42,203
Beth's confession
isn't admissible
955
00:37:42,287 --> 00:37:43,726
unless she confirms
with the grand jury.
956
00:37:43,810 --> 00:37:47,252
But since the fetus' DNA
was a match to Nick Pearce,
957
00:37:47,336 --> 00:37:49,297
that proves Rape Two.
958
00:37:49,381 --> 00:37:51,647
- But Beth won't testify.
- Doesn't matter.
959
00:37:51,731 --> 00:37:54,694
With the DNA, his lawyer's not
gonna let this go to trial.
960
00:37:54,778 --> 00:37:58,350
[Exhales heavily]
Thank you both.
961
00:37:58,434 --> 00:38:00,961
Does Beth know any of this?
962
00:38:01,045 --> 00:38:03,178
We're going
to tell her tonight.
963
00:38:04,918 --> 00:38:06,140
Okay.
964
00:38:06,224 --> 00:38:08,577
Look, I know this has been
965
00:38:08,661 --> 00:38:12,581
an incredibly difficult
decision to make.
966
00:38:12,665 --> 00:38:16,672
We're going to raise the baby
as our own, and, uh,
967
00:38:16,763 --> 00:38:21,340
work on
repairing our marriage and...
968
00:38:22,743 --> 00:38:25,749
pray that Beth forgives us.
969
00:38:25,896 --> 00:38:27,770
Eventually.
970
00:38:27,854 --> 00:38:30,164

00:38:30,248 --> 00:38:32,123

Can you open my present now?
975
00:38:39,301 --> 00:38:41,436
Of course. I would love to.
