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.
All right, people, listen up.
One Police Plaza's latest directive
bi-yearly psychological evaluations.
- Bi-yearly for bipolars.
- Toward this illustrious goal,
they have picked one of the highest stress units
as the lucky guinea pig for this pilot program.
- Not us?
- Us.
If you would please fill out
this multiple choice form,
you will be receiving your appointment
times from our resident psychologist.
- Any questions?
- Will this go on our permanent record?
Everything will
be confidential, John.
Yeah, but at the risk
of sounding like John,
what is their angle
with this thing?
Can you flunk it?
And if so, then what happens?
I really don't know.
Okay, so
who goes first?
I do.
Blind leading the blind.
What do you want to bet they slapped a new
cover on the old Minnesota Multiphasic?
Do you believe this?
Shrinks get shrunk.
Maybe we could use a little.
Hi.
Can I help you?
Yes.
They tell me to
report sex crime here.
Okay.
Why don't you come
have a seat right here?
Okay, go ahead,
we're listening.
I have a fruit stand
on Lex and 78th Street.
Out of nowhere two boys run up,
grab bananas and take off.
That sounds like a robbery.
No, no.
You see, when I'm angry,
I curse in my native tongue.
Which is what,
Hungarian, Romanian?
Romanian.
And then this woman grabs me
and begs me to help her.
- Also in Romanian.
- What was wrong?
A man
she's trapped in a situation
she cannot escape from.
It does not translate well,
but there is abuse.
- Physical or ***?
- I think both.
What's her name?
She does not tell me that.
You know where she lives?
She does not tell that either.
She hands me this.
Constanta Condrescu.
She says, "Tell her she was right
I need help.
"
And then she takes off.
What time did all this happen?
Three days ago.
(������ �����̺��� ���� ��)

Big, big brown eyes.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Okay, let me see
if I got this straight.
Some girl is being sexually abused
by some guy somewhere in Manhattan.
Something like that.
Do we at least
have a description?
We have the sketch artist working
with the fruit vendor right now.
Well, what's your
take on this guy?
Name is Mircha Cabrea.
Guy seems lucid enough.
Came to the States
a few years back.
He's a fruit vendor.
Never been in trouble.
The only reason that he
came in was to shut his wife up.
Apparently, he let the story slip
and the wife wouldn't lay off
until he did something about it.
Okay, assuming
he's on the up-and-up,
how do we know that the girl is?
Thousands of women are abused
every day and never say a word about it.
We have to at least check it out.
What if Woodward and Bernstein had
blown off "Deep Throat" as a prank phone call?
Prank call or not,
it's three days cold now.
Apartment of Constanta Condrescu
Tuesdaym February 22
Sorry, I don't recognize her.
Constanta Condrescu is
not a very common name.
What do you think the odds are that this girl
would pull that name out of thin air?
She's my niece.
We're not close.
Are you close enough
to know her name?
Llena.
Ilena Condrescu.
Why did you lie to us
about knowing her?
Where I come from,
the less you tell police the better.
Where you come from,
she's not in trouble,
but she may be in trouble here.
And if she is,
we'd like to help her.
Now, Ms.
Condrescu
is this your niece?
Yes.
Do you mind if I borrow this?
Go ahead.
It's of no use.
She reached out to you.
You must know where
she is or who she's with.
I don't.
I haven't seen
her in three years
since she first came here.
And how did she get here?
On a student visa.
- Which school?
- NYU.
That's when we went
our separate ways.
I'm sorry, but my
shift starts soon.
Look, I'm going
to give you my card.
If there's anything that you think
of that may help us find her,
please, give us a call.
We should have
pressed her harder.
That woman is definitely
holding something back.
We're not the
Romanian Secret Police.
At least we got a name
and a photo out of it.
Hey.
It's Detective Stabler.
I want you to run
a database check on an llena
l-L-E-N-A Condrescu.
No, C-O Condrescu.
And if you don't get a hit,
check NYU.
Thanks.
Unless she flunked out or
quit that's where she should be.
I'm going to get Munch on it.
- No, she never showed up.
- Does it mention why?
No.
/ Does it mention
why somewhere?
Maybe in her application files?
Do you know how many tens of thousands
of students apply to this university each year?
These are all student files.
So this is what it feels like.
What does?
To be the suspect.
Just kidding.
Sort of.
Sit down.
- Relax.
- Yeah, right.
What, you can't relax?
I golf a little.
A little?
What's your handicap?
I don't know, 12, 14.
Must be difficult to
get out to a course.
Well, it's a commitment,
but I get out.
What else do you do for fun?
What do you mean "for fun"?
Tell me what you do to relax.
Go jogging?
Racquetball?
Walk? / Audrey, it's New York.
Everybody walks.
Don, come on,
you see it every day.
***, ***, torture.
It's as sure as your
morning cup of coffee.
And on top of that, you've
got responsibilities of command.
I'm sorry,
is that a question?
How well do you think
you handle the stress?
I handle it.
All right, how do you handle it?
This is ridiculous.
Why don't you just come
right out and ask me?
Ask you? / The question you've
been tap-dancing around.
Do I get the urge to drink?
See, that's the problem
with you people.
You ask about golfing,
or jogging or whether
a person was breast-fed or not
everything else under the sun.
Why don't you come right out
and ask me about my alcoholism?
That's what this has
all been about, hasn't it?
Do you want to talk about it?
No, I don't
but I will.
Yes.
I get the urge to drink
every day.
I see horrific acts
of degradation,
of brutality,
of human evil.
They make me angry,
they make me sick.
They get inside my head
and I want to shut them up.
I know if I crawl inside
of a bottle, they will stop.
Do you think you will?
Ask me tomorrow.
Sir, have you ever seen
this woman before?
- Excuse me.
- What can I make you, pal?
You look like
a wiener dog guy.
You don't know
how wrong you are.
Have you ever seen
this woman before?
Yeah, I seen her all the time.
- Take a look, you positive?
- Yeah.
Cute accent.
Russian,
Czech, something like that.
- Do you know who she is?
- Alls I know is, I made her a green ladybug.
Had her pegged as
a red poodle type.
Go figure.
Hey, balloon guy says
he knows our girl.
- Sir? / - Yeah?
- Excuse me.
You're sure that it was her?
I never forget a paying customer.
Except she's dropped
a few pounds since that picture.
Yeah? You ever
see her with anyone?
Make you a giraffe
on the house.
Have you ever seen
her with anyone?
Of course, a little girl.
Eight or nine, excuse me.
Hey, here we go, kid.
- Take another look.
- This woman is 21 years old.
She couldn't possibly have
an eight or nine-year-old.
Not her own.
American.
You're in the heart
of nanny central here.
Ka-ching ah,
you're a tough crowd.
When was the last
time you saw her?
Yesterday.
Yesterday? / Yes.
He even
remembered her accent.
He also remembered
her being serene.
She didn't strike him as being
under the least bit of stress.
So three days ago she's slipping
some fruit vendor an SOS.
Then a couple of days later, she's just
strolling happily through the park with a kid.
- So what, case closed?
- No!
No, it is not closed.
Four of my top detectives just wasted
an entire day on a wild goose chase.
That's 32 combined man hours.
I want this girl in here
explaining herself.
Homicide just caught
a dump job off the Henry Hudson.
Your card was in
the victim's pocket.
The body was rolled up in a rug
and dumped off the side of the parkway.
When?
The body, the rug,
both are in great shape
minimum exposure
to the elements.
So today?
Today, or probably
some time last night.
- Stabler: Any witnesses?
- None that stopped.
Of course, no one would notice
a body being hefted over the railing.
People dump stuff all the time.
- Who found her?
- A fisherman.
He though he found a nice
little present for the wife.
- So is this her?
- Yeah, that's her.
Constanta Condrescu.
Something tells me she found
a way to contact Ilena.
She was already dead
when she hit the rug.
No fibers were inhaled.
So, what killed her?
Well, something stopped
her heart instantaneously.
What that something was,
only toxicology will tell.
You got a time of death?
Between 4:00 and 6:00 p.
m.
We left her at 4:00.
Only an injection directly
into the bloodstream
would cause an attack this acute
without affecting other organs.
The thing is, I cannot for the life
of me find a puncture wound.
You check the white-collar
junkies' hiding places?
Nothing between the toes,
behind the knees,
or in the genitals.
What about under the tongue?
For an accidental OD,
that would make sense, but
it would be very difficult,
if not impossible for a killer to
How did the killer inject her under
the tongue without signs of a struggle?
- He had to have sedated her.
- But it still doesn't play.
She hears that her niece is in trouble,
beelines to this guy and has a friendly,
albeit spiked, drink with him?
I guess so, because two hours after
we gave her this message, she's dead.
We should have
pressed her harder.
I took the liberty of
contacting Interpol.
The victim's brother
Ilena's father
was also murdered
back in Romania.
When?
'89, during the
Ceausescu regime.
That's an big gap for
a connection, don't you think?
Not when you consider the timing.
People assume that the good
guys overthrew Ceaucescu.
But it was "Hello new boss,
same as the old boss.
" Big time.
Maybe the Condrescu family knew
where the bodies were buried.
Whatever happened to
these two women started there.
All roads lead to Romania.
That may be so, John,
but what do you say
we start in Murray Hill?
Look at this.
She didn't even finish her tea.
I don't think she was killed here,
but let's bag it up before we leave.
Got an address book.
It's open to the "C's!"
Please tell me we have
an address for llena Condrescu.
No, but the page where it would
fall alphabetically is missing.
Okay.
Let's keep looking.
- You guys in here?
- No!
Canvass of the first floor
was a colossal wash.
Not many people home.
Lady in 1-D, though,
vaguely remembers the victim.
She never saw the niece.
Maybe you'll have luck with her work.
We'll take it from here.
Cafe Prahova.
Soviet bloc ex-patriots plotting
coup d'etats over bowls of goulash?
My partner.
No, her niece never
came to the restaurant.
Had they been in
contact at all? / No.
There had been a big fight
when llena first got here.
- About?
- How she got here.
Constanta was saving
to help her come to school,
but it was going to
take another year.
Out of the blue,
llena shows up.
Really? How did
she manage that?
She met an American businessman
at a discotheque in Bucharest.
She told him her story
and he offered to help.
- I assume there was a catch?
- Well, so did Constanta.
She yelled at llena
for being so naive.
She said, "Of course
there would be a catch.
"
Llena started crying,
said the ticket didn't
cost him anything,
it was frequent flyer,
and that he knew of a part-time job.
She said he was
just a nice man.
Do you know what
this man's name was?
No.
Just that he was American.
Do you think that's
where llena went?
Constanta assumed so.
She tried to contact
the man who gave her the ticket,
but he said he'd
never heard from her.
She tried back a few
more times, but nothing.
Finally, she gave up.
Thanks.
Now, you requested to
be assigned to SVU.
Why don't you
tell me about that?
That question on your form,
"Has anybody in your family ever
been the victim of a ***?"
I checked yes.
I'm actually the child of a ***.
How do you think that
affects you on your job?
I'm walking a tightrope.
I got too close to a case once.
A Serbian *** was
killed by his victims
and I got my *** in
a sling over it.
But has it interfered with
your ability to remain objective?
No.
You had occasion to use
deadly force a few months ago.
My partner was about to be shot.
It was a reflex.
That's what we're trained to do.
Okay.
Say you couldn't be
a sex crimes detective anymore,
what would you be?
Hey, sorry I'm late.
- How did it go?
- Cake walk.
- What do you got?
- It's a Persian Kashan.
A more expensive rug than
you'd normally find in dump jobs.
- Yeah? How much?
- Runs around $5,000.
A perp with serious money, huh?
Or he killed her in a carpet store.
You pull anything out of it?
Your standard particles of dirt,
cotton, nylon fibers
Anything place
or person specific?
A human hair.
Root intact.
- Victim's?
- No, definitely not.
No proof it's the doer's.
But I'd sure like
a suspect to compare it to.
Air Bucharest Executive Offices
Wednesday, February 23
Ilena Condrescu.
Someone gave her
a free ticket frequent flyer.
I'm sorry,
when did she fly?
August of '97.
You've got to be kidding me.
Don't answer that phone.
Anyone who calls an airline sits
on hold 20 minutes, minimum,
while being subjected
to a Clockwork Orangian
repetitive loop on the benefits
of your awards program.
I believe that's
your phone, sir.
Munch.
/ Out of Romania i
nto JFK, maybe.
Someone gave Ilena
a ticket to come here
someone her aunt warned
her had ulterior motives.
We're trying to find out who.
- Got it.
- Got it.
- And the frequent flyer is?
- Randolph Morrow.
Randolph Morrow.
Hold for the address.
Hello?
Can I help you?
Llena?
I'm Detective Benson,
this is my partner, Detective Stabler.
Ilena, it's okay.
We're here to help you.
- We got your message.
- What message?
To your aunt.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Who's here?
No.
Mr.
And Mrs.
Morrow
have been very good to me.
Where are the Morrows right now?
At work.
And dinner has to
be ready before they get home.
- Is there anything else?
- Yes, there's a lot more.
Ilena, come and play with me.
Ilena
your aunt was murdered
an hour after we informed
her that you were in trouble.
I don't know anything about it.
I've told you I never gave
anyone a message like that.
Why would someone
make something like that up?
I don't know!
All right.
Regardless of
who sent the message,
we know your aunt
came to see you.
I haven't seen her
in three years.
Mr.
Morrow really doesn't
like dinner to be late.
Please.
We're very sorry for your loss.
Ilena.
You were supposed to
start NYU three years ago.
Why didn't you?
You should have seen her when we
told her her aunt had been murdered.
- Nothing.
Not a blink.
- Stepford nanny.
The only time she registered
at all on the emotional chart
was at the thought
of dinner being late.
It's the Stockholm syndrome.
Brainwashing?
four hostages were taken during a botched
bank robbery attempt in Stockholm, Sweden.
When the SWAT team tried to
rescue them, they actively resisted.
After only six days of captivity.
And when they were
finally rescued,
they not only refused to
testify against their captors,
but they helped raise money
for their legal defense.
Are you saying we have another
Patty Hearst on our hands?
It doesn't take as much as you
think to brainwash a person.
Isolation, threats of death, violence,
and then random acts of kindness.
In as little as 72 hours,
a person's psyche can
be completely broken down.
Ilena's been there three years.
If that's what really happened to her,
she's not gonna be of any help.
You gotta get back there and find
out what's going on in that house.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Do you?
Have you dated at all
since transferring to this unit?
Ah, now I see where
you're going with this.
Does dealing with ***
deviants every day affect me?
The answer is no.
Just ask my blowup doll.
Do you think that this job has had
any effect on your sex life?
No, but I think I've
pinpointed what has.
Believe it or not,
I have serious intimacy issues.
I'm critical and negative.
I have an occasional bout of
let's see, melancholy?
I'm a lousy date,
but a good cop.
So, I guess that just
about covers everything.
Uh, no.
Actually,
we have 45 minutes.
So I suppose you want to hear
a detailed account of my *** history?
But how are we going to
kill the remaining 44 minutes?
Do you always deflect
personal questions with jokes?
Do you always deflect jokes
with personal questions?
Have you ever experienced any
*** dysfunction since taking this job?
And I'd appreciate
a serious answer.
Once.
Thank you.
When did that happen?
I'm not sure, but definitely
within the last 10 minutes.
I'm sorry.
Look, I'm not good
at talking about me.
You're the expert,
why don't you talk about me?
Okay.
You've been
married multiple times.
Each wife was beautiful, spoiled,
and not one of them
matched you intellectually.
You distrust all women,
any form of government,
and you could smell conspiracy
at a five-year-old's lemonade stand.
Anything else?
You've given up
on relationships.
But you still believe in true love.
And the pain of
never having found it
is unbearable.
Anything else?
Good neighbors.
Decent, loving parents.
Has llena ever talked to
you about the Morrows?
Actually, we've never really
had a conversation with her.
I guess it sounds awful.
She's been here a year.
She's a very quiet girl.
You said she's been
here just a year?
Yeah, about.
/ We heard
she'd been here three years.
No, one at the most.
I'm sure.
What do you guys know
about the Morrows?
She's a veterinarian.
Anyone who helps animals
is all right in my book.
And Mr.
Morrow?
A corporate type.
An investment banker, I think.
Sit.
The couch is much
more comfortable.
Oh, I'm fine.
Ilena told me about her aunt.
It's tragic.
We didn't even
know she had a relative here.
So, I don't know
what help I can be.
- We never met.
- You never met llena's aunt?
No, sir.
How did you meet llena?
I was in Romania consulting
on some privatization issues.
A nightmare.
Ilena wanted to come to the States,
we needed a nanny.
If only all mergers
were that easy.
She's been with
you three years?
Yeah, I guess it has been.
Listen, that chair is really so stiff.
Your neighbors said that they've
only noticed llena this past year.
My neighbors?
Well, this is New York.
I don't think I could tell you anything
about any of my neighbors.
They're very observant.
And they're positive that llena's
only been with you this past year.
Can you explain that?
- Louise? - Yes, sir.
What did we discuss
about the blinds?
You like them drawn halfway
during the afternoon.
And what time is it now?
Could you adjust them, please?
Yes, sir.
Could you do that now, Louise?
Thank you.
I have an afternoon
full of meetings.
- Is there anything else?
- Yeah, one question.
Where were you Monday
between 4:00 and 6:00 p.
m.
?
I was in negotiations
with four corporate lawyers.
I thank you for your time.
You got something on your suit.
The guy was
a real sweetheart, right?
That couch was comfortable.
And by the way, nice move
with the hair plucking.
- You enjoyed that?
- Yep.
We'll match it up with
the one we found in the rug.
Stabler.
Good, what do you got?
What's that?
- Thanks a lot.
- What?
Toxicology just came back.
Constanta was killed
with Beuthanasia.
It's what they use to
put animals to sleep.
Morrow Veterinary Clinic
Thursday, February 24
Come on, sweetie.
Mrs.
Morrow, we understand that you work
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Where were you last Monday?
Home.
Did llena have
any visitors that day?
No.
Did your husband
come home at any point?
No.
Barry, can I have
some help here?
Sure, Dr.
Morrow.
How're things
working out with llena?
Oh, it works.
We have a routine.
My husband can explain it better.
Dropped it.
Do you and llena get along?
My husband selected her
to help me.
Barry.
How close is
your husband to llena?
You should talk
to my husband.
Dr.
Morrow,
we have a hit and run.
I should go.
- Barry, can you? - Yeah.
It's a very nice facility
you have here.
Yup, we got our own O.
R.
and recovery rooms.
Pharmacy?
Yeah, it's just
down the hall there.
It's all computerized, I suppose,
so the DEA can monitor you?
The monitoring's not as
stringent as with humans.
Not too many poodles
become crackheads.
How 'bout the vets?
Look, I really have
to do a ***, so
Sure, by all means.
I'll tell you what,
you give us a call
if you think of anything
else you want to tell us.
Sure.
I see you were recently
injured in the line of duty.
Why don't you tell me
what happened.
Sure.
I was in a foot pursuit
of a *** suspect,
when the car he stepped
into just blew to high heaven.
So you were only a step
or two to going with him?
Sometimes after encountering
a near death experience,
an officer can get tentative.
Maybe just a split-second hesitation
before pulling a weapon.
Nope, nope,
nothing like that at all.
- No?
- No.
Actually, I've never
felt more confident.
How so?
Well, I always knew
that this day might come
and I always wondered
what would happen.
Well, the day came
and I walked away from it.
I feel alive, you know, clear
like three shots of
espresso without the jitters.
Are you presently
in a relationship?
I had been in
a long term relationship,
but when I started working here,
that pretty much ended.
So did dating in general, actually.
I guess
I've been celibate
well, up until
actually, up until the accident.
So you're dating again?
A lot.
I guess the whole thing made
me realize how short life is.
You've met a man?
Well, not a man
different men.
I don't know,
I guess I feel restless.
- What is it?
- Hmm, oh, nothing.
No, you were going
to say something.
No, no, it's nothing.
Well, a few nights ago
I was at this bar,
and there was this guy
and he was watching me
staring at me.
And?
And we started dancing.
And I thought I recognized him
from someplace, but I couldn't place it.
It's dark in the bar, so when
we got outside under the streetlight,
it finally hit me where
I recognized this guy from.
And who was he?
A guy I'd been watching
a year earlier on a case.
We liked him for a suspect.
What'd you do?
I went home with him.
Hey.
Hey,
you all right?
Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
I don't know, the psych exam?
Dr.
Ciggles had me wanting to eat my gun.
No.
No, I'm fine.
- Monique.
- Excuse me.
Yeah, what? / I'm looking for
detectives Benson or Stabler.
So had the inventory
been fudged?
Vets are under a lot of pressure,
so when tranquilizers like
*** or Ketamine go missing,
it's just the nature
of the business.
But?
Beuthanasia's another
thing entirely.
So did Mrs.
Morrow take some
from the animal hospital?
Yeah.
A few months ago.
I couldn't figure out why.
The stuff's lethal.
You sure it's Beuthanasia?
Yeah.
The stuff's bright pink.
There's no mistaking it.
You took a lethal drug
home from work?
The same lethal drug
that killed Constanta.
That was for me.
Why?
Because your husband was having sex
with Ilena right under your nose?
Sexuality is about reaching our limits
and transcending them.
So did your husband
transcend llena's aunt?
Is that what happened?
She confronted him,
he killed her?
No.
We understand you want
to protect your husband.
That woman
showed up at the door,
threatened him,
threatened our routine.
I knew what I had to do.
And what was that?
I calmed her down.
I gave her tea.
You drugged her.
With an injection of
Beuthanasia as a chaser?
Your idea or your husband's?
It's like putting an animal down.
You have to disassociate.
Mrs.
Morrow,
did your husband tell
you to kill Constanta?
He didn't have
to tell me anything.
Police!
Last chance!
You smell that?
Upstairs.
What are you doing here?
You have no right to be in here.
Exigent circumstances.
Your lawyer will explain it to you.
- Elliot.
- Yeah?
Look at this.
We're going to need
warrants for those.
Let's at least get him out of here.
Where is she?
She's gone.
She's not coming back.
Ilena?!
Ilena?! Ilena?!
Ilena can you hear us?
- Llena?
- Olivia!
Get me something.
We've got a padlock.
That's good.
Where is she?
Who?
The girl you're torturing
in all those photos.
Honey, I'd like
a mineral water, no ice.
And I'd like your balls in a blender,
but ain't life a ***?
I said it would be all right
if you keep me company
while I waited for my attorney,
but perhaps I'll have a little quiet time now.
I've got some typing
to catch up on.
Maybe you shouldn't
have called her honey.
Women.
I've been trying to break her
in for a long time now.
I'd recommend the rack.
- Sounds painful.
- It's excruciating.
You have to be careful, though,
you can cut off circulation,
cause permanent damage.
Is that so?
It has to be consensual.
Like it is with llena.
Mr.
Morrow's attorney is here.
Why is the detective talking to my client
after he invoked his right to counsel?
It's all right, Terrence,
we were just discussing
our common interests.
Now, let's get me home
in time for dinner.
It gets worse.
The hair sample from the rug?
Not his
it's the wife's.
We need that warrant now.
Let's go.
What'd
you get from Morrow?
- She's still alive.
- Yeah?
He used the present, not
past tense when talking about her.
"She is," not "was.
"
- Now, we've got to find her.
- Yeah.
Before she dies.
How do we know
these pictures exist?
- The detectives saw them.
- How and where did they see them?
When they entered the suspect's
residence looking for the girl.
- Without a warrant?
- Exigent circumstances.
Your honor.
They had every reason to believe
this woman was in imminent danger.
And was she? / It turned out
that she wasn't on the premises.
But they found evidence indicating that
she had been held there against her will
and that she had
recently been moved.
- On this basis, we should
- Please.
New York is the home of more discipline and
bondage shops than you can crack a whip at.
Whips and chains do not necessarily
denote non-consensual acts.
Are you kidding me, Your Honor?
Any idiot can see this woman is
being held against her will
You are very close
to contempt, Counsel.
Judge, we need to
get into this apartment.
You don't have probable cause,
so you want me to give you a warrant
so you can get probable cause, is that it?
Nice try.
All rise.
- She's still detoxing.
- And what was she on?
Ketamine.
It's an animal tranquilizer.
On the street it's known as Special K.
We're familiar with it.
In veterinary circles, it's known
as the addiction of choice.
And hers was pretty long term.
I already told you everything.
We're not here for your crime,
we're here for your husband's.
My husband didn't
do anything wrong.
Mrs.
Morrow, he kidnapped
and tortured that girl.
He disciplined her.
He helped her learn.
Did you know that
she was missing?
You're gone, she's gone
and I guess he's all alone now,
except for your daughter.
And all of his toys.
He treats Tamara
like a princess.
She's his daughter.
Adopted daughter.
She's not
even his own flesh and blood.
No, he wouldn't.
You know he can't let
that closet stay empty.
Who's the next logical choice?
Forget logic,
who's convenient?
You know he's going to do it.
He did it to you, didn't he?
Didn't he?
He was so
good to me at first.
And then he started
asking me to do things.
So you let him hurt you.
I wanted to escape so many times,
but I was so afraid for our daughter.
So you stayed, hoping
that things would change,
but they didn't, did they?
Until he abducted llena.
Like he said,
it was so perfect.
A woman just in the United States
and nobody would
even know she existed.
He kept her chained in
a closet for the first six months.
Yeah, except to ***
and torture her.
You have no idea
what I went through.
That's why you never
did anything for llena
because he stopped doing it to you.
All right, you're going to help us.
How easy was it to roll his wife?
Like dice down the shoot.
That's gotta hurt.
She was your
number one submissive, wasn't she?
She'll never testify against me.
She will.
We control her now.
She doesn't even blink
without my permission.
She blinked.
See, that's where you
screwed up, Chuck.
You broke her down too much.
You made her too plyable.
You made it easy for us.
Most wives'd go to the electric
chair for their husbands, but
- not yours.
- You really screwed up.
Your power is gone, my friend.
We took your control.
I control llena.
She doesn't eat, sleep,
or urinate without my permission.
I control her.
I do.
Do you like beating up women?
Huh, tough guy? Stand up.
Sit down.
Stand up.
Stand up!
Sit down! Sit down!
Now who controls who?
We've been forcing
every move you've made.
Once we start you running,
it's "Screw Up City," pal.
You have never forced
a move out of me!
Oh, really? We forced you
to move llena, didn't we?
And what about this one?
No, that's the bathroom
off the master suite.
Look at these welts
on her back.
Olivia?
- Did he break?
- No, but I think he tipped his hand.
We're sure all of these pictures
were taken in the house?
I think so,
except for this one.
This is the only one
I can't place.
There's no point of
reference for location in it.
Just that corner of
rug near the opening.
It's the rug Constanta
was rolled in.
Where's the confession
from his wife?
- She took it out of the bedroom.
- Been there the whole time.
That's impossible, the cops
have been all over that place.
There ain't nowhere
else but here.
Ilena, talk to us.
Where are you?
It's got to be the bed.
Let's go.
Ready to go?
Llena, can you hear us?
- Olivia, Olivia.
- What've you got?
I've no idea what I've got.
What's that? Something there.
Come on, baby!
Come on!
Elliot, there's something.
Pull this.
Pull it.
Oh, my God.
She's alive.
Can you hear us?
Call an ambulance!
It's okay, sweetheart.
This is Stabler, 321 West 101.
I need an ambulance, now.
- 321 West 101st.
- It's okay.
Tell him I didn't do anything.
I didn't make a sound, I swear!
I didn't do anything.
It's okay, we're
getting you out of here.
Ilena, it's over.
- I didn't do anything!
- It's over.
Audrey: How long does
a case like this stay with you?
A while.
How do you deal with it?
I go home, hug my kids,
kiss my wife.
Can you discuss
the cases at home?
No, no, I don't let that
world touch my family.
But that world is everywhere.
You can't put them
on 24-hour surveillance.
True, but it doesn't mean
I have to be their window into it.
You have to work with a lot
of cases involving children.
You think that hits a little
close to home for you?
You ever see a child
with no soul?
I have.
How do you handle it?
I think
I think a lot.
About?
The crime.
The victim.
The people that
do that sort of thing.
What else?
How I could get away
with killing them.
Do you have a minute?
Yeah.
Come on in.
How goes the witch-hunt?
Well,
I've seen everybody.
You find any bed-wetters
or cross-dressers?
No.
No, I found
a commensurate level of stress
and neurosis that one would
expect in this field of work.
For the most part.
For the most part?
The purpose of this program is to
identify detectives that are
perilously close to a meltdown.
It's not to punish them,
but to protect the public from them
as well as themselves.
You can't be saying that you found
somebody at that stage in my unit.
I did.
And I'm afraid I have to recommend
that they be removed from duty
immediately.
Who?
