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.

[dramatic music]

Noah, call the police.

I was with my son, and a gang came after me with a machete.

You all right?

I will be once I get my hands on Oscar Papa.

Well, I got a call under Bronx Gangs.

You call Duarte.

He's our expert on BX9.

Are you saying you wanna liaise with me?

If you think that you can separate

the gang problem from the rape problem up there,

I would like to see you try.

SVU Bronx needs a new squad now.

I don't have the authority to hire anybody.

You and Bruno should be vetting them.

While you go after Oscar Papa?

It's the reason that I came up here.

The kid that I shot just got out of surgery.

Remember me?

You're that white lady who shot me.

You're lucky it wasn't your head.

[scoffs] Would have been doing me a favor.

If you're worried about retaliation--

We have armed guards in the hall.

I don't care what happens to me.

My whole life's a mess.

So why don't you let us help you clean it up?

What do you want from me?

I want confirmation that Oscar Papa is the one

who put the hit out on me.

You know I can't do that.

You're protecting a guy that thinks you're disposable.

[coughing]

[speaking Spanish]

Is he talking smack about me?

What'd he say?

Nothing bad.

How old are you?

I'm 15.

Oh.

[pensive music]

How did you get involved in BX9?

I came up on La Bestia.

The beast.

Train from Chiapas.

I walked from El Salvador,

climbed up on the train one night.

We rode the roof for thousands of miles.

We?

It was so cold.

Me and some stranger huddled together.

[speaking Spanish]

He taught me to look up at the stars.

I liked those three little ones all in a row.

Orion's Belt.

That makes sense.

Why'd you come to New York?

I was looking for my moms.

She came to New York when I was ten to work.

Did you find her?

She didn't want nothing to do with my ass.

And why is that?

Why do you think?

BX9.

They raped her, threatened to do it again

if I didn't soldier up.

I told you, you should have just shot me in the head.

♪

- The kid give you anything? - Not yet.

We're working him.

Working him.

Just a little bit of empathy, Duarte?

You wanna hug that kid in there, fine,

but do it after I solve my case.

- Your case? - Yeah.

The one McGrath told me to solve.

All due respect, you're still the victim here.

Little bastard did try and chop you up, Captain.

Imagine if you hadn't been packing extra heat

in those designer shoes of yours.

Okay, look, I'm flattered that you two wanna protect me

from what seems like self-sabotaging denial,

but my first order of business here

is to reconnect Fugazi with his mother.

If you want, Captain, I can take Muncy and go find her.

That's exactly what I want.

I see what you're doing, your little ploy to flip that kid.

- That boy needs his mother. - If you say so.

BX9 raped his mother to force him into that gang.

He is a victim just like his mother,

and she needs to know that.

I told you.

This gang stuff is a lot more complicated than you think.

Is this about the apology that you think I owe you?

I don't want your apology.

Not yet. - No, you wanna savor it.

With a nice glass of Cabernet.

That's still your drink, isn't it?

That's not happening, Duarte.

That's not happening until whoever

greenlit me is behind bars.

Well, that might happen sooner than you think.

Let's take a drive.

I wanna show you something.

[suspenseful music]

♪

I should have worn my hiking boots.

We're almost there.

♪

Oh, God.

Enough, Duarte.

Please tell me this is not what I think it is.

Not the first time rape has been used as a weapon of war.

Just happens to be a gang war.

BX9 put this here.

Kids like Fugazi, Sabo, Ricky, Sleep,

they come up from South and Central America

thinking they escaped the gang problem.

But they didn't.

The first day of school in New York, they're approached.

And they say no once.

But no one ever says no to BX9 a second time.

Because this is what happens to their mothers if they do.

We got Ronnie Samuels for the murder of Renee Perry.

It's about 12 rape cases clear.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Ronnie still has to go to trial.

Well, for now, let's just pretend

this little stack is cleared.

That mean you guys are leaving now?

It's gonna take a lot more than that to get rid of us.

It's gonna take a lot more than me, a D-3,

and a white shield to get these cases cleared.

Well, as part of our federal mandate,

we've been given broad latitude to hire new detectives.

A full squad's worth.

That's great, but who's gonna vet them?

According to McGrath, that's what Benson's here to do.

Speaking of which, where the hell is she?

She'll be back.

Well, until then, you're an SVU sergeant.

Over two decades under your belt?

I wouldn't even know where to start.

Start here.

Don't look at me.

Who is she, some kind of velvet house cat?

Hardly.

Churlish may be low on the totem,

but she's got her sights set high.

Guys around here used to call her the Mayor.

She's gonna be both our bosses one day.

I'll keep that in mind.

I want every single pair of underwear cataloged

and processed for DNA.

There's gotta be over 100 pairs.

And every one of them is evidence.

A rape tree?

I prefer to call it what it is, a recruitment tool.

[scoffs] How long did you know about this?

A year, year and a half.

Oh, you knew about this for a year?

You knew about this the whole time,

and you didn't tell me? - Hey, hey, hey, hey!

The whole time I was working with you?

- What, do you not trust me? - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

- I don't trust anyone. - Calm down. Muncy, calm down.

Take a second.

Are you kidding me, Duarte?

You knew about this. - Listen...

Duarte, she worked with the women from this neighborhood.

You've been sitting on this for a year and a half?

I don't even know how you're standing here,

but I gotta tell you, this makes you just as bad

as the men who use this to recruit.

I was trying to get a surveillance op off the ground.

It's not like Bronx SVU was any help.

Oh, yeah, well, now everybody's gonna know.

'Cause neighborhoods like this,

gossip travels at the speed of sound.

He's right--there goes your surveillance op.

Well, now that you're here, we don't need it anymore.

You were attacked by the only witness that matters.

Who, Fugazi?

He was shown this tree, brought here by the recruiters.

He can ID them.

So you wanna bring him back here

so we can traumatize him a second time?

If putting him back in touch with his mother

doesn't do it first, yeah.

Thank you, Captain Duarte, but your presence

in what is now a sprawling sexual assault case

is no longer needed or wanted.

You're the victim in a gang crime, which,

might I remind you, has its roots in my borough.

[tense music]

♪

I'll get McGrath involved in this if I have to.

But let me assure you that from here on out,

we're doing this my way.

Which means what?

Reading bedtime stories to the kid that tried to chop you up?

[scoffs, laughs]

We're gonna try to ID as many rape victims as we can

who will undoubtedly point us to the same recruiters

that you claim to be after.

You mean the same women that have been silent for years?

Yeah, we're gonna convince them to talk,

and it's gonna get us to Oscar Papa, same way as yours.

My way's faster.

You're talking about changing the way a neighborhood works.

I'm talking about putting the screws to one kid.

One kid--and retraumatize him more than he's already been.

Captain.

I'm talking to her, not you.

I'm gonna go to my old girl gang contacts,

see if we can find Fugazi's mom.

Maybe one of them knows who the recruiters are.

All right, that's a good place to start.

Velasco, I want you back at Bronx SVU.

I want you to have the Feds expedite the DNA

from this tree and have Fin and Churlish and Bruno

help you make the IDs.

[phone buzzes]

Chief. - Captain.

Yeah, I just got a call from Avital and Wise over at DOJ.

They're wondering where you're at.

Well, do you really wanna know?

Well, officially no, but even Fin can't lie

to U.S. attorneys forever.

Look, you sent me up to the Bronx to close open cases,

not to go to war with Oscar Papa.

We may have just stumbled on a way to do both.

Jesus, what am-- what am I looking at?

100 or so open rapes.

Ah, jeez.

What, are you out of your mind?

Perpetrated by known BX9 recruiters against women

and children whose cases are no doubt languishing

in Bronx SVU's open pile.

[laughs] Well, that's a coincidence, isn't it?

No.

No, it isn't.

Look, gang violence is sexual violence.

We all learned that this past summer with the subway case.

So if these cases are open,

that means you're gonna close them, right?

It's a pretty good way to get the DOJ

off your back, isn't it? - [scoffs]

What, so this is about me, about my image?

Not about you chasing down Oscar Papa?

- I didn't say that. - Wow.

Well, at least you and Duarte are finally on the same page.

I didn't say that, either.

I gotta go.

And--

This must be the end of the line for the free donuts.

Feds asked Fin and Bruno to put together

a new Bronx SVU squad.

DOJ's leaving?

Not yet, but they agreed to expedite DNA

from that tree you guys found.

Maria.

You'll meet up with us?

Great. I'll see you there.

- One of your contacts? - Yeah, Maria Garcia.

I got her a job at the dollar store.

Went to go talk to her,

some guy came in and she clammed up,

but I could tell there was more she wanted to say.

Well, sometimes silence says it all.

It turns out she was raped by two guys in the Tremont clique

last year right before her brother got jumped into BX9.

What happened with her case?

She withdrew.

Jesus.

Why is she so willing to talk now?

Because her brother Rodrigo got mowed down

a few weeks ago by 19th Street.

I hate to be the beneficiary of bad luck, but...

Yeah.

What happened to my brother is a tragedy.

Yeah, your parents came here for a better life.

Yeah, they weren't expecting to lose their son.

We're so sorry about what happened to your brother,

Rodrigo, but there may be a way to get justice for both of you.

No.

I told you, I'll talk about what happened in private.

She doesn't wanna speak in court.

And why not?

My parents don't know what happened to me.

In their minds, my brother is still a good kid.

I'd rather keep it that way.

Did Rodrigo ever mention this tree?

[suspenseful music]

♪

No.

But you remember the circumstances

around your brother joining BX9.

The day he turned 13, Rodrigo came home upset.

Me and my mother asked what happened.

He said he was approached by BX9 at school.

Muncy said that your brother was

a really sweet kid, a good boy.

He liked comic books.

He had a kitten he loved.

He said no to them at first.

And then, one night, I was leaving work.

Hey.

No one is gonna know you talked to us.

Okay, I promise.

It's okay.

Go on.

Two guys were waiting in the backseat of my car

when I got in to drive to my boyfriend's house.

They surprised me.

And when they were done, they stole...

more than just my smile.

♪

Are you saying one of those is mine?

BX9 uses rape to recruit members.

Rodrigo joined the gang that night.

Do you know who recruited him, Maria?

The same guys who raped me.

We're gonna need their names.

And no one will know that you talked to us.

We promise.

We're looking for Lindsay Del Toro, age 28,

street name Bug Bear, and Hector Suarez, age 27,

street name Sacrilege.

- Sacrilege? - Yeah.

From what I hear, he robbed a church.

Adorable.

But he was wearing a vest, so alive, unfortunately.

How you doing, Lindsay?

Nobody calls me that.

You're not Bug Bear here, son.

And trust me, you don't wanna be.

I didn't do nothing.

You ran from the cops.

We didn't know they was cops.

Thought it was a rip crew coming to rob us.

That why your buddy pulled his grizzly gun?

- Self-defense. - [scoffs]

Kinda had the opposite effect.

What you mean?

How do I say this?

You boy Hector's dead.

Now, what I wanna know is,

what your crew gonna say when they find out that you ran

We can put that word on the street real easy, huh?

Yeah.

Unless you give us who told you to start using rape

as a recruitment tool.

How's Amanda?

She's grading papers.

You know what that means? No machetes, no black eyes.

Yeah, but paper cuts are a bitch.

Speaking of paper, your boy Duarte is gonna be

buried under some, huh?

Yeah, I'm talking to FID about it right now.

Look, he's gonna be fine despite having a grizzly gun

aimed at his vest.

Would have ripped right through that.

And the next five apartment buildings.

I hear Duarte shot the perp who robbed Saint Anne's.

As a practicing Catholic, let me thank you both.

What do you need from me?

Multiple blood warrants for DNA

ideally Oscar Papa. - Well, he's elusive.

He could be in San Salvador by now.

I'll kill you! Let go of me! - [laughing]

Let go of me!

I'm gonna kill him! I'll kill you!

You disrespect my mom, I'll kill you!

Disrespect my mom! - Hey.

I want a lawyer.

I bet you do.

Looks like you wasted a trip, Counselor.

What about that kid you shot, Fugazi?

You think he'd be willing to talk to us?

You mean Albert Diaz.

Let's just call him the kid who attacked you

with a machete from now on, okay?

He's a child.

So what?

Well, he's also a gangbanger,

so he's not the most reliable witness.

Yeah, but he did just make a de facto positive ID.

So you wanna fight that battle in court?

Well, I'll get the nurse to put him on non-narcotics.

Well, I'd prefer not to, okay?

Why?

So we've made major inroads on the Tremont clique,

but the only way to dismantle this group

is to take down our new favorite person.

Oscar Papa.

So what do we have so far?

Lindsay Del Toro, aka Bug Bear.

He copped to his boy Sacrilege

using that tree you found as a recruitment tool.

How did you get him to do that?

We told him we'd tell his crew

he ran from the police raid.

So you lied to get the confession out of him?

It's not technically illegal,

but his lawyer could make it seem coerced.

Well, it's not our finest police work,

but it did put some of our new Bronx SVU candidates

to the test.

And with their help, we managed to link

upwards of 20 open rape cases directly to BX9.

And Muncy has another one.

- Here it is. - Who's she?

A contact of mine.

She ID'd both Bug Bear and Sacrilege

as the two guys who raped her.

Did she report it?

Over a year ago and then pulled it,

and they never followed up.

But she did ID a garment of hers in the tree.

That's a good start. Can we get her to testify?

So far, no.

So what do we actually have that substantiates

arresting Oscar Papa?

A whole lot of nothing.

Even worse. Something gonna waste.

Hey! Let's go. We're taking you in.

♪

I didn't do nothing. You hear me?

You got the wrong guy.

Here, let's go.

You gotta hit me.

- What? - Seriously, hit me.

Otherwise, they're gonna kill me in jail just like Bug Bear.

Shut up, you son of a bitch!

You're wanted for the attempted murder of a police officer.

- It wasn't me! - Get in the car now!

Ugh!

What the hell was that?

Empathy.

I told those kids the first one

to kill Captain Benson gets to soldier up.

"Soldier up"? What does that mean?

That they become full-blooded members of BX9.

Why do they call you "maestro"?

Because Oscar Papa is the word, knowledge.

I'm the one who spreads it.

And by that, you mean you're his mouthpiece?

Correct.

Unfortunately, I can't just take your word for that.

I can corroborate everything I'm saying.

I know names, dates, places. - Victims.

My client has all his boss's phone conversations on tape.

Kept a recording device in his car.

And he's willing to testify to this in open court?

Under the right protection?

Yes.

Ever since my cousin Ricky was shivved,

I've been waiting for you guys to show up.

What do you want in return?

Freedom.

From?

There's only two ways out of BX9.

One's the witness box, the other's the pine box.

Let's just say I'm choosing the former.

That enough?

Yeah. For now.

Let's get started on your grand jury testimony.

- It's pretty quiet in here. - [laughs] Yeah.

Like the morning after a snowstorm.

Well, it turns out you were right.

- It's not the first time. - [laughs] Yeah.

Yeah, but this time, we both got what we wanted.

I mean, you're about to bring down

the guy who tried to kill you--

And you got the DOJ out of your underwear drawer.

Yeah, speaking of underwear,

100 cases on their way to being cleared in two days.

That's--well, that's a hell of a clearance rate.

I can't tell if you're happy.

Well, I'll be happy when Oscar Papa is in prison.

That makes two of us.

Where do you want the new detectives to sit?

Let them sit based on seniority.

I'm not giving up my desk.

So what are you gonna do now the DOJ's clearing out?

I don't know.

I was so focused on the deaf case we closed,

I don't even think about it.

How about a round?

You buying?

I could, but you're rich.

That's fair.

Ahh. [chuckles]

Thanks for waiting, man.

Oh, that woman just won't quit.

Not a problem, Mr. Papa.

Hey, you're not Benny.

I wouldn't make any sudden moves.

She seems really pissed.

♪

Oscar Papa, you're under arrest

for rape and attempted murder.

Ah.

I have never been in a position like this before.

I guess I need a lawyer.

Yeah. You do.

Would you like to do the honors?

You've been after this guy longer than anyone.

That an apology?

No, but it's as close as you're gonna get.
