All language subtitles for Law & Order SVU - 23x15 - Promising Young Gentlemen.720p.WEB.h264-GOSSIP

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.

Where are you ladies headed?

To the Bishop Formal Dinner.

Not at their club?

They're taking us on a party bus,

to Grade A Steakhouse.

But only nine girls made that cut.

Wow.

Okay, well, have fun, but...

Be careful, okay?

Okay.

Oh, and Sarah?

If you're gonna hide
a bottle behind your back,

do it before I come in the room?

There it is, Saint Paul's.

- Is that your church or your school?
- Both...

K through eighth for me and my sisters.

- Mass every Sunday.
- Hmm.

I got my first home run, right there.

Are we talking girls or baseball?

An altar boy never tells.

You're more nervous than I am.

Look, just don't
take anything personally, okay?

My mother can be...

She's not tougher than my mom.

She's different, all right?

- Remember, you go to her first.
- I know, Sonny.

Kiss the ring. I know.

Hey, Ma, we're here!

Finally, you made it.

Oh, come on, Ma, don't start.

The BQE was a mess. Hi.

Mrs. Carisi, hi. So nice to meet you.

- Here, let me take that.
- Oh, um...

Amanda.

- You've got a lovely home.
- Eh, it's falling apart.

Not that I can get
Dominick's father to help.

Come on, Ma, be nice. Where is Dad?

Your sister's bathroom's flooded again.

For her, he drives to Connecticut.

Ow.

So...

Girlfriend.

She needs to eat.

Oh.

Well, that's why I'm here, Mrs. Carisi.

You know, all Sonny does,

is rave about your cooking.

I tried to teach him.

He never learned.

Sorry, Nonna. Traffic.

Hi, hi.

- Hi, Uncle Dom.
- Hey, Mia, how you doing?

- Amanda!
- Hey.

- So glad you're here.
- Hi, Mia.

Finally.

So... how's it going?

Could we talk over dinner, please?

The lasagna's going to get all mushad.

- All right.
- I'll take this.

Thank you, thank you.

- Let's play the game.
- Goldstein?

Let's just try... let's just try it.

All right, once again,
the game is called

Zoom Schwartz-Parlato-Goldstein.

Annabel...

Zoom.

Zoom?

No, you can't zoom the Zoomer.

You can only Schwartz the Zoomer.

Drink.

We're here, folks.

Ladies!

Leave your phones, coats,
and bags on the bus.

Sorry, club rules.

Time to eat, drink,
and make merry, huh?

Hell, yeah.
Let's get this party started.

I understand you have two girls.

Oh, yeah.

So the father's not in the picture?

- Ma.
- What?

I-I-I'm just making conversation.

Yeah. You know, it's complicated.

Billie and Jesse are amazing kids.

Amanda is doing a great job.

Like you would know.

The first time Dominick babysat
for the Rizzos next door,

he dropped their
one year-old on his head.

Oh, goodness.

Well, he hasn't done that
with my girls...

Yet.

So Mia, how's school going?
You like being the dorm RA?

Talk about babysitting.

Yeah, what your uncle tells
me that you're doing

some work as a campus advocate?

Yeah, for sexual assault awareness.

Not at the table.

- All right, who wants dessert?
- Oh, I'm...

Don't you dare say no to my sfingi.

I made a care package for the girls.

Attention, ladies?

Everyone having a good time?

Good,

because we have some exciting news.

President Yates, you have the conch.

Non-members are almost
never asked to accompany us

back to the Bishop Club.

But tonight,

you are invited past the doors

of one of the oldest,

most prestigious,

still operating finals
club at Hudson University,

for after-dinner brandy and sweets.

Now we have one condition:

you are sworn to secrecy.

You are not allowed
to tell another soul

what you've seen or heard.

No photos, no social media.

The only thing you'll take
home with you tonight,

are memories,
of the most exciting night of your life.

Who is ready to swear that oath?

Got dinner for two weeks now.

Oh, please, you got off easy.

I think that went well.

- Eh...
- What?

Did it...?

Oh. Hey, Pops.

No, we missed you tonight.

Mom said that she liked Amanda?

She likes me, she likes me...

Wait, hold on,
I got another call coming in.

She likes me.

Hey, Mia, what's up?

Uncle Dom, I need your help.

Uh, okay.

Take her to Mercy emergency room.

I'll meet you there.

Tell them that your
uncle is on the job.

Pops, I'll gotta call you back.

No, no, no, everything's fine.

Yeah. I love you too.

What's going on?

Mia just said that one
of the girls in her dorm

was raped tonight.

I'm coming with you.

I called campus police right after you,
and they said

- to go to the student clinic.
- That's good.

It's on the record,
but it's better you came here.

And Annabel is getting a rape kit?

Yes, but she showered
before she told me.

I told her to save her dress
in a paper shopping bag.

Hey, Captain, you didn't
have to come to the hospital.

- Of course I did.
- Thank you, Olivia.

Yeah, so this girl, Annabel.

How, how old is she?

18, a freshman.

I called her dad in Kansas.

He said he's gonna try to get here.

- Good.
- She's, um, kind of alone.

Well, we'll talk to her.

I'm gonna get you antibiotics, Annabel.

Are you on birth control?

What? No.

We'll get you something to take.

Thanks, Jen.

So Annabel, how are you feeling?

I don't know. I just feel so stupid.

You're not stupid.

You got yourself back to your
dorm room, you told Mia.

We both know that you
probably don't feel like

talking right now, but,

if there's anything that you remember,

it can be really helpful.

I was pretty drunk.

That's okay.

So Mia told us that
you went to a dinner party?

The Bishop Club Formal Dinner.

They invited some of the girls
back to their club after.

- Mhm
- I was looking for my purse.

I left it on the bus.
They told me to do that.

- Who told you?
- I don't know his name.

Tall, dark hair?

After dinner, he said that I...

Had to get my purse back at the club.

Okay, so,

what happened
after you got to the club?

Another guy said
that maybe it was upstairs.

He insisted on giving
me a piggyback ride.

You know his name?

Austin.

And once you got upstairs?

Austin brought me to a room

that had these old paintings.

I was looking for my purse.

And..

That's when I must have passed out.

I woke up,

Austin was on top of me,

inside of me.

And two other guys,

maybe more, were there...

Holding me down.

I'm so sorry.

Do you remember the boys, um,

saying anything, or,

calling each other by name, or...

I remember Austin called them

Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

My roommate Sarah,

- talked to them at dinner.
- Okay, good.

That's, that's really helpful.

I should have looked out for Annabel.

She doesn't really drink.

Is she okay?

She'll be at the hospital
for a few hours.

They're giving her fluids.

Those Bishop douchebags.

It was like lambs to slaughter.

All the booze,
everyone being cheesy-nice.

So you went to the club with Annabel?

For a while.

I left early, to meet my boyfriend.

I should've...

Did you see her go upstairs
with anybody?

Could have been Austin.

He was the one
leading the scavenger hunt

for some of the girls' purses, coats.

Right, the stuff they
told you to leave on the bus?

They claimed it was club rules.

I didn't buy that.

Annabel said that there were
two other guys in the room,

when she was assaulted.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum?

Those two?

Ugh.

Jacob and Brad.

I sat with them at dinner.

They kept subtly
refilling my wine glass.

Mm, she mentioned

a room upstairs with old paintings?

I didn't get past the front room.

I guess those guys could tell
I wasn't wasted enough.

Okay. Thank you, Sarah.

And just...

If you don't even like these boys,

why go back to their club?

I wanted to see the inside.

This was my only chance.

I'm an anthropology major.

Oh.

Officers, I'm Whitaker Yates,

Bishop Club President.

I'm told you needed
to speak to someone.

We do, Whitaker.

We heard you had
a party here last night.

Every night.

If this is a noise complaint,
I'll talk to the guys...

It's a sexual assault complaint.

A girl was raped.

That's horrible.

But it wasn't at the club.

I was here all night.

In every room?

The complainant gave us a description,

so we're gonna need to look around.

I'm sorry, that's...

That's just not possible.

You do know that
this is a private club?

We appreciate that.

But either you let us in,

or because this house is a crime scene,

we're gonna have to clear everyone out

while we wait for a warrant.

And once this goes to the DA's office,

it takes on a life of its own.

- You don't want that.
- No.

Okay.

Okay, looks like you did have a party.

We're gonna need to confiscate
all those glasses.

You can leave that, Oscar.

Sure thing, Mr. Yates.

The room the complainant described,

was upstairs.

Ah, okay.

Um...

I think you'd really have
to get a warrant for that.

Okay, so while we're waiting
on that warrant,

we need to talk to Austin Drake.

And Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

Jacob Hoffman and Brad Calloway.

Actually, we're gonna need to talk

to every member who was
here last night.

I-I can't just hand over names.

It's a privacy issue.

We don't even keep a list.

Roosevelts, Kennedys,

rumor has it they slept here

whenever they visited the campus.

Yeah, well, luckily,
we don't need to talk

to any dead presidents.

Just Austin, Jacob, and Brad.

Look, I don't even
think those guys are here.

Most likely they're
at the library, studying.

Well, they have two choices.

Either meet us at the precinct,

or we can drag them out
of the library in handcuffs.

Annabel, yeah.

She was there last night.

Whatever she's saying, it's not true.

What do you think she was saying?

Look, there was no rape.

How do you know? You were in the room?

Maybe I should call my dad.

By the way, which one are you,

Tweedledee or Tweedledum?

It's a nickname. Austin changes it.

Sometimes Dee, sometimes Dum?

Depends on his mood.

What was his mood last night?

I can tell you what her mood was.

DTF.

Hmm.

How do you know? Were you watching?

Come on, man,
she was putting on a show.

That's all I'm gonna say.

Guys, I said goodnight
to Annabel when she left.

She had her purse, her coat.

She was a little drunk, but fine.

We're just trying to figure
out why she told her RA

she was sexually assaulted.

Mia?

More like the other way around.

What do you mean?

Mia and her coven?

They hate men.

Well, this is about what we expected.

Yeah, they more or less
put themselves in the room.

They're not denying the sex.

- We have enough for an arrest.
- And an indictment.

But a conviction? Three against one.

This was an orchestrated,
coordinated attack.

Look, they have done this before.

Captain?

The boys' parents are here.

Your sons all came in voluntarily.

Under threat of arrest.

It wasn't custodial.

They knew they were free
to leave at any time.

And now they're leaving.

If you question them again,
it's with a lawyer present.

Oh, when we bring them
in to talk to them again,

they'll needa lawyer present.

Look, this is an open investigation,

and we strongly advise,

that your sons don't leave town.

Thank you.

We should just arrest these punks.

They're not going anywhere.
They're too entitled.

And you know what?
It's not just the three of them.

It's like you said.
This was coordinated.

They invited specific girls,

they pick the compliant ones,

and they got 'em even more drunk.

Separating out the most vulnerable.

If this was a group of kids

from the housing projects,

we would have locked them all up.

These guys have already lawyered up.

They're not gonna turn on each other.

But there are people
that work in the club.

People that work at the steakhouse,

people who drive the bus.

These kids don't see the help.

But the help sees them.

They can lay out the plan.

We start from here.

Bishop Club?

They're polite, good tippers.

I have no issues.

Yeah, well, we do, Lloyd.

One of the girls who was at that party

was sexually assaulted that night.

I'm sorry, but that's not on us.

No?

This girl's 18 years old.
Did you card her?

Come on, man. They all had IDs.

None of them were legal.

How does multiple counts

of serving alcohol to a minor sound?

Not to mention this place
losing its liquor license.

You're out of a job.

What do you want?

How'd you get that big tip?

Instructions were "no empty glasses."

No matter what the girls asked,

keep pouring the wine.

And who gave you those instructions?

They all did.

They wanted those girls
to stagger out of this place.

Look, nobody was driving.

They had a bus waiting
to take 'em home.

It's all fun and games with these guys.

They got the life. Young, rich...

- White.
- That, too.

Anyway, it's none of my business.

You recognize this girl?

They all kind of look alike.

She left her purse on the bus.

Okay, yeah.

She was pretty upset when
it wasn't here after dinner.

Tell us about that.

Just a prank.

Guys call it club rules.

Not all the girls go along.
Some leave coats, phones.

They all get it back at the club.

- How does that happen?
- While they're at dinner,

they have me drive
over to the Bishop Club,

leave the purses with Oscar.

He takes it from there.

I don't really know anything.

How long have you worked here, Oscar?

Over thirty years.

Close to my pension.

It's changed.

The old days,

the boys were more respectful.

Oscar, what happened Saturday night?

You know about that girl, don't you?

I saw them taking her upstairs.

I don't know what happened after that.

I gave her her purse when she left.

She was crying.

Has this happened before?

I don't know.

Sometimes these girls,
they have too much to drink.

Or they give them too much to drink.

Well...

For parties,
they put in a special order.

Lots of sweet stuff.

Peach schnapps, brandy...

Stuff that'll knock 'em out?

They don't want
the girls to get sick, just...

Like a rag doll?

I'm sorry for what happened.

I asked Austin about her the next day.

He said she was fine,

that she had a good time.

I have to answer that.

You think these guys were
any better back in the day?

Some of them.

Fin, look at this.

Isn't that Parlato-Goldstein?

The detective from Hate Crimes.

Yeah.

How'd they let him in this club?

Detective.

- Thank you for coming in.
- Of course.

Going after these guys for rape?

I assume the vic is credible,

- the guys claim consensual?
- Yes, she is,

and they are.

Dominick Carisi, ADA.

You were a member, weren't you?

you're not saying this

doesn't sound like the boys you knew?

20 years ago, when I was there,

it was still the vestige
of a gentlemen's club.

We drank, we had girls over,

- but nothing like this.
- Uh-huh.

Counselor, he's here to help.

So, we have corroboration,

that this girl was targeted,

and they got her drunk,

and then they separated
her from her friends,

and they took her upstairs to a room

that she describes as having

a lot of old paintings?

The Boom-Boom Room.

There's so much DNA in there,
forensics won't help.

- Ugh.
- And these guys, they'll...

They'll never talk to outsiders.

So what do you suggest?

You need them to
incriminate themselves.

Get someone on the inside they trust.

Someone like you?

Back when I drank,
I was kind of a legend there.

The Bishop Club knock.

Welcome.

Brother Parlato-Goldstein.

I come bearing gifts.

No frickin' way. The Parlato-Goldstein?

You're alive?

Yo, guys...

Yo, you're never gonna believe this.

Yo, somebody get Whitaker!

Oh, hey, what's up, man?

Who called the order in?

Sup, guys?

Yeah, here you go.

Is it really you?

We're not worthy!

The creator of Zoom
Schwartz-Parlato-Goldstein,

in the flesh, wow!

Zoom Schwartz-Parlato-Goldstein?

A drinking game?

I guess he is a legend.

Apparently, it doesn't take that much.

So what do you need, Carisi?

I'll know when I see it.

Yep,

that was my room.

And this...

This was the Boom-Boom Room.

Tie on the door was the code.

We upgraded.

The Grand Prix Room now.

Like the chess opening?

Grand Prix Attack?

Nice.

Your throne, sir.

I'm honored.

I understand,

that we have an icon in our midst,

a legendary forefather

who gave us one of the
greatest drinking games

Hudson University has ever seen.

I'm not worthy.

Bishop men,

I believe it is only right,

that we serenade

Sir Andrew Parlato-Goldstein

with our pledge song.

"Bishops and Knights and Pawns"?

No, we have a new one.

Kind of a remix.

♪ Oh, we are the Bishop Club ♪

♪ Sluts and bitches and hoes ♪

♪ And in this club we have a code ♪

♪ These bitches are our foes ♪

♪ With a few shots here ♪

♪ and edibles there ♪

♪ Jungle juice, get her loose ♪

♪ No more needing to seduce ♪

♪ Crying out, "Please, please, please" ♪

♪ Oh, we are the Bishop Club... ♪

Seen enough, Carisi?

Yes, I have.

And I will be charging
the entire Bishop Club

with conspiracy to commit rape one.

An assault at the Bishop Club?

I have to tell you,
Captain Benson, I am so upset.

I had hoped that we
were finally making progress.

Well, I'm sorry to say that we're not.

We have ample evidence

that this assault did occur.

For what it's worth,
I did speak with the club,

alumni, and the boys' parents.

They have a different story.

Don't they always?

And this is also
complicated by the fact

that the alleged assault
didn't take place on campus.

I'll reach out
to the Bishop Club again,

get the campus adjudication
committee to weigh in.

I'll need Annabel
to file an official complaint.

President Freeman, I'm gonna stop you

because we are way past that.

We have arrest warrants.

For which students?

Every single member of the Bishop Club.

For conspiracy.

Wait, wait, what are you talking about?

I came here as a courtesy

to let you know that we are
executing a search warrant,

- and we're making arrests.
- When?

I need to speak to the trustees,

the boys' parents.

Can you give me a
sense of the timeline?

It's happening now.

Okay, these four in that first van.

Cell phones are a priority.

Dump texts, emails,
photos, videos, ASAP.

Come on, Judas,
you couldn't do this inside?

It's cold.

We'll preheat your holding cells.

You didn't hand over your cell phone?

I forgot I had it.

It's probably my dad.

He'll bust a gasket if I don't answer.

Oh, well, you can use your one call

at the station to call him back.

Ah. Thank you.

Hey...

I know this is a lot. How you...

How you doing?

I'm okay.

This is why I came back to Hudson.

To make a difference.

You have the right to remain

- silent...
- This is such a joke.

Hey, hey, boys!

No talking over there.

I'm sorry, Sergeant.

Continue.

You have the right to an attorney,

- if you cannot afford one...
- We can.

- One will be appointed for you.
- Hey, for the record,

none of us will be speaking to police

without our attorneys present.

Yeah, less you talk, the better.

Get in the van.

I have an econ presentation later.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, come.

Chief, you wanted to see me.

A 7:00 a.m shock-and-awe raid

on the most prestigious club
at Hudson U?

- Okay.
- Shouldn't I get a call on this?

Things were moving pretty fast.

Yeah, a little too fast,

according to President Freeman.

So, you asked me to loosen the reins,

and then you just gallop off the track,

- into the parking lot?
- We couldn't risk

the university alerting
the boys' parents.

Fair enough, but then
you arrested the whole club?

I mean, the DA's office
had to know about this,

- but you don't tell me?
- I was giving you

plausible deniability.

Oh, well, thanks for small favors.

So what's the plan?

You're just gonna arrest
everybody and their brother

- in the hopes that somebody flips?
- Listen.

Actually,

this is a conspiracy.

They were all involved.

Not just the three that
we're charging with rape one.

And quite frankly,

I wouldn't mind seeing all of them,

- ending up on the registry.
- Yeah.

Well, I have no more love,
for these spoiled brats

than you do, but these measures,

they look punitive.

Like, like cancel culture on steroids.

Look...

pick the cases you can make.

We're here to put bad guys away,

not make political statements.

- How was that?
- Understood.

No, no, no, not the content, but,

the delivery.

I'm trying to manage my affect.

You know, express myself,
without projecting anger.

I'm on the road to Damascus.

And you are...

Getting there.

All these yours, Mr. Carisi?

They get a group discount?

What am I looking at?

16 defendants charged with
conspiracy to commit rape one,

three of them also
charged with rape one

and unlawful imprisonment.

And these 16 defendants

are the entire membership

of the Hudson University Bishop Club?

They are, Your Honor.

They were unjustly rounded up,

and every single one
will be pleading not guilty.

Good to know.

Let's start with Austin Drake,

on the charges of rape one,
and conspiracy to commit

rape one; how do you plead?

Not guilty.

Whitaker Yates, how do you plead?

Not guilty, Your Honor.

- Jacob Hoffman?
- Not guilty.

- Brad Calloway?
- Not guilty.

What happened today
is every parent's nightmare.

If you have a son at college,
you should know

it's open season
on young men right now.

Not only doesn't it seem to matter to

law enforcement, or the DA,

whether or not a rape
even occurred in this case,

but their opinion is

merely being in the same house

where the complaint was made

rises to the level of conspiracy,

to commit this unproven rape.

We've heard this from Barth before.

I can't listen to it anymore.

Didn't she use to be a judge?

And she believes this now?

She believes in her payday times 16.

She's just lucky the
judge granted bail.

Carisi.

Okay, we'll meet you there.

- What?
- Carisi is at Hudson with Mia.

Her advocacy group staged a march,

down to the Bishop Club.

They were attacked.

What happened here?

Protest march turned ugly.

Some of those Bishop guys were waiting.

Where are they?
Why aren't they being arrested?

They're all inside.

But the protesters initiated contact,

went onto their property.

We were marching from campus.

It was peaceful,
until we got to the Bishop.

- They were waiting for you?
- Yeah.

All out on the porch,
screaming stuff at us like,

"Hoes go home," and "Ugly bitches,"

blowing rape whistles, they maced us.

Did they ever leave
the yard to come after you?

No, but when we saw them
take out the hoses,

we ran in to grab them away,

and they just sprayed us down.

First, we got soaked,

then people were screaming

'cause their eyes were burning.

From the pepper spray?

- Annabel, are you okay?
- No.

Look what they did.

They put my face on that blow-up doll!

They're mocking me.

We're gonna get that taken down.

Let's get you out of here.

So the Bishop Club guys

stayed on their property
the whole time.

And they're gonna argue

that the protesters were trespassing

and they were just
protecting themselves,

- defending their castle.
- Mace is legal,

and banners are free speech,

water is water.

This is like a war on all women.

I can haul them back into court,

see if the judge will revoke bail.

And they'll just tell
them not to do it again.

Counselor, let me ask you something.

We talk about this all the time.

How come you never
charge rape as a hate crime?

Rape as a hate crime based on gender?

It's just not something
the DA's office does.

You know what?

Maybe it's time.

We appreciate your concern,
President Freeman,

but these boys are accused of rape.

SVU had no choice but to arrest.

They didn't have to arrest
every young man

- in the Bishop Club.
- Actually, we did.

They were all in on it.

So you claim.

I need your assurance

that there will be no further arrests

stemming from this incident.

We have no idea what
the fallout is gonna be.

But we do understand.

Look, it's not NYPD's intent

to inflame the situation.

Thank you, Chief McGrath.

Captain Benson,

in the future,
I hope we can coordinate.

The process works better for all,

with more transparency.

I couldn't agree more,

and I know that
you're new to your post.

But in the past,

campus security has been

where rape allegations go to die.

I believe that your
intentions are good,

but you have to understand,

there's just a lot

of history here.

I understand.

I look forward to a better relationship

than you've had with
Hudson in the past.

So do I.

Okay.

Where are we with this girl's rape?

We're looking
to attach a hate crimes charge.

- Based on what?
- Based on gender.

I think these boys
have made it pretty clear,

that they have a bias, against women.

This is a perfect case,

to make that precedent.

I think we'll let the lawyers,
handle that one.

- So you're okay with it?
- I am.

But my daughter texted me
some social media video

from that rally.

The blow up doll, the language?

It's just horrible.

I'll fight back.

Understood?

Thank you.

Just because McGrath's on board,

- doesn't mean the eighth floor is.
- What did Maxwell say?

She's intrigued.

But she also reminded me
about ten times

that there's no precedent for this.

She's afraid that we're
gonna lose on the rape case.

There's never been much appetite,

even with Hate Crimes prosecutors.

Yeah, because it's a lot
of risk for an enhancement

that only adds three years
to the sentence.

I mean, juries can be sensitive
to piling on charges.

But that doesn't mean
that we shouldn't do it,

because it sends a message

not only to victims, but,

to the entire community.

Also, even though
these guys are misogynists,

that doesn't necessarily prove

that that is what
motivated Annabel's rape.

Hate Crimes only attaches
if the victim is chosen

- out of bias.
- Exactly...

So I need evidence that shows

that she was targeted
because of her gender.

So, in addition to the action of hate,

you need language,

that shows their motivation?

How about this?

We just got a text from TARU.

They went through the Bishop
Club members' cell phones.

The boys were texting
pictures to each other.

They wrote, "Slut," "Whore"...

"Grade A meat",

on my body,

and took pictures?

And you don't remember?

Not them taking pictures.

I remember someone writing.

I tried to knock his hand away.

When I got home, I...

didn't even look in a mirror,
I just scrubbed myself.

What does this mean?

What I would like it to mean,

is that we go after them

for more than the rape.

That we charge them all

with a hate crime.

A hate crime?

The slurs that they used,

the banners, the...

The blow-up doll.

I don't get it.

- What did I do?
- You didn't do anything.

They just...

Hate...

Women.

Why?

Motion to dismiss
a hate crimes enhancement.

On 16 defendants?

Actually, Your Honor,
the hate crime will only attach

to the three charges of rape one.

Your Honor, this is still an overreach.

There's no precedent
to attach a hate crime to rape.

The alleged victim was not
targeted due to race,

color, or national origin.

No, but she was targeted
because of her gender,

which is also a specific
protected class

in the statute.

But there's no precedent for that,
either,

- is there, Counselor?
- No, Your Honor,

but we're arguing that there should be.

So your claim is that
the defendants hate women?

Your Honor, this is insanity.

All these young men have
mothers, sisters,

- girlfriends.
- It is not unusual,

for those who commit hate crimes

to claim that they have
friends or even family members

in the same group they targeted.

It's simply not a legitimate defense.

This assault has all the
hallmarks of a hate crime,

no different than if the victim
were Black, Muslim, or Jewish.

It includes written and spoken slurs,

evidence that Annabel
Nelson was targeted

because she is a woman.

First of all,
she wasn't targeted at all,

she was a willing participant.

Not what we're arguing here,
Your Honor.

We don't need to have already
proven the underlying crime,

in order to attach the hate crime.

That is true, Counselor Barth.

Again, this is a gross misreading

of the hate crimes law.

The prosecution is showboating.

He's playing politics.

It's a performance
of the politically correct

in the theater of the woke.

Save that for the trial.

I'll review the evidence

and make my ruling shortly.

Congratulations, Counselor.

Oh, you know what?

Keep piling on charges.

It'll just make it easier
to show a jury it's a vendetta.

Always nice to see you, too, Counselor.

She's a warm and fuzzy.

Looks like her motion got denied.

Yeah, she lost this round,

but she could still be right
about the trial.

Carisi, take the win.

Counselor, Captain?

There's no way
I'm letting my son be charged

- with a hate crime.
- I'm sorry,

Dr. Hoffman?

Tell them, Jacob.

I know everything
that happened that night.

I'm willing to testify.

Against your brothers?

Writing...

"Whore"

and "slut"

and "grade A meat,"

that this was because you like her?

They made me do that.

We're trained to obey.

The point of pledging
is to drill in that

we're the pawns there,
to protect and serve the king.

Protect.

And a, a blow-up doll

with Annabel's face on it?

Who is that protecting?

I'm sorry about that, I...

I'm really sorry, about all of it.

Mr. Carisi,
my client is only cooperating

if the hate crime
charge is off the table.

And he's not pleading guilty
to rape one.

He's in no position
to call the shots here.

So Jake, you wanted to talk, so talk.

How did Annabel get up
into the Grand Prix Room?

Um...

Austin gave Annabel
a piggyback ride upstairs,

to look for her purse.

All the purses that you guys took,

and made them leave on the bus?

This is Austin Drake?

Who else was there?

Uh...

Brad Calloway,

me,

Chuck Hammond, Trey Gibson,

and a couple other freshman boys.

They got to watch.

Oh, wow.

And Jacob, what did you do?

I held her arms,

while,

Brad wrote on her breasts.

And then Brad,

held her legs while Austin...

Did the deed.

I didn't rape her,

I swear to God.

But you helped them.

And that's something,

that you're gonna have to live with,
Jacob...

for the rest of your life.

Jacob's a rat.

Yep, and he got the cheese.

In exchange for Jacob's testimony,

against you, Austin,

and the rest of the club,

he'll be doing a year in jail.

That deal is off the table for you.

What's still on the table?

The most I can offer
is attempted rape one.

With what recommendation?

The minimum:
three and a half years.

I'm not turning against my brothers.

That's fine, Brad.

You stay loyal to your fellow rapists,

and then I get to take you to trial,

where you'll be
looking at double digits.

Let me talk to my client.

You want my client to plead
guilty to rape and conspiracy?

There's nothing on that rape kit.

And anything else that
happened in that room,

- was consensual.
- Not according to the victim.

Also, not according to Jacob Hoffman

- and Brad Calloway.
- They're lying,

to save their own asses.

What about the others
who were watching?

And your club president,

- Whitaker Yates.
- Whitaker wasn't in the room.

No, but he told us,

you gave him a pair
of Annabel's underwear,

as a trophy of your kill.

It has your DNA on it.

Checkmate, Austin.

I'm sure there's all kinds
of chain of-custody issues.

You know what, Detective?

You've really covered
yourself in glory here.

This club has a drinking
game named after you.

Are you gonna tell me that
none of these mating rituals

went on when you were a member?

We weren't angels,

but what we didn't do,

was target women for rape.

My father always said the club
never should have let Jews in.

What are you getting out
of this, Goldstein?

A promotion?

How many pieces of silver
are they paying you?

No, no, no. Let him keep going.

I'll put hate crimes,

right back on the table.

Do you want to talk to your client?

Annabel wanted me to thank you for her.

I'm glad we were able to
spare her this going to trial.

- So is she.
- How's she doing?

She's gonna take the semester off,

go home for a while.

I can't believe this
is actually happening.

Permanently shuttering the club?

Bishop Club alumni and trustees
signed off on that?

In exchange for dropping
the conspiracy charges, yeah.

It was a difficult negotiation.

Yeah, President Freeman
made it crystal clear

that if they wanted their
kids to have any chance

of getting into Hudson U, or,

getting a recommendation upon leaving,
then,

they'd have to sacrifice the club.

Thank you, for hearing us.

You don't know what
it means to all of us,

to be heard.

I actually do.

Get them out! Get them out!

Get them out! Get them out!

Get them out! Get them out!

Get them out! Get them out!

Get them out! Get them out!

Get them out!
