NARRATOR: In the criminal
justice system,
sexually based offenses
are considered
especially heinous.
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives
who investigate
these vicious felonies
are members
of an elite squad known
as the Special Victims Unit.
These are their stories.
CARRlE: That's so cool.
Careful.
That's very expensive.
SAMANTHA: Yeah,
tell me about it.
These two
look exactly alike.
Why is this one $200 more?
This baby
has a 600-hertz
sub-field drive,
to reduce
motion lag time,
and it comes with
MAN OVER SPEAKER:
Attention, female shoppers.
Please proceed to our
television department
for a special giveaway.
Ooh! What is it?
I'm not sure.
Let me find out.
Oh, gross.
What's he doing?
Oh, my God.
Turn around.
Don't look.
Cut it off!
The exhibitionist plugged
a video camera into the feed.
Security footage
caught him in the act.
Ironically, in the
hand-held devices aisle.
He was careful to
keep his face hidden,
but he matched
the description
of a flasher who's
been targeting young girls.
White male, 30s, brown hair.
He has one
distinguishing mark.
A birthmark on
his lower abdomen
with a freaky
resemblance to Florida.
You pulled in bodies
from five different
precincts
for a weenie-wagger
task force?
The electronics store
exhibition was two
months ago.
Since then,
he's *** three
girls in Central Park.
Colleen Johnson, 11,
Tina Harper, 15,
and Nicole Goshgarian, 12.
The rapes
started four weeks ago,
all on Sunday afternoons.
CRAGEN: I don't need
to tell you what today is.
We flood the park,
set up choke points
and stay in communication.
Bridge, at 10 o'clock.
Ball cap.
Sector G,
move into position,
east side of the lake.
MAN OVER RADlO:
Twenty-one, William.
Roger that.
Cancel that.
Hold positions.
FLETCHER OVER RADlO:
Task force portable to SVU.
I just stopped a 10-34.
We need a location.
I'm in pursuit!
I said stop! Police!
I'm not sure, but
Didn't copy that.
Repeat.
BENSON OVER RADlO:
Officer, I need your 20.
Where are you?
FLETCHER: Heading north!
(GRUNTlNG)
Anyone have
eyes on the pursuit?
I've got him!
Northeast of the Ramble!
Don't move! Don't move!
I'm over by the
bridge near the
(GRUNTlNG)
STABLER ON RADlO:
What's happening?
FLETCHER: 10-13! 10-13!
Talk to me.
All units.
Officer
in need of assistance,
vicinity of the Rambles.
I repeat, officer missing.
El, gun.
Down here!
Glad to see you're still
with us.
We were worried
about you.
Yeah, my radio got
busted in the struggle.
Everything's
under control now.
Okay, well,
I'm assuming this is
yours, Officer Fletcher.
(STUTTERlNG) Yeah.
I let him
get the jump on me.
Total rookie move.
Won't happen again.
Yeah, well, solo
apprehensions are tough.
Why are you
arresting me?
You said that
you interrupted
a *** in progress.
Does the victim need a bus?
No, he just made
initial contact.
I just asked her
what time it was.
And then, bam!
This freak starts
sexually assaulting me.
Well, I was
just checking my watch
when the cop came over
and asks this guy
to lower his pants.
It was really weird.
Did the guy threaten you
or make physical contact?
No, but the cop got
really handsy with him.
Yanked his pants down.
That's when the guy
took off running.
I'm telling you.
He's the right guy.
Check this out.
Duct tape, box cutter.
It's a total *** kit.
It's a utility pack.
***'s name
is Wayne Hankett.
Wayne Hankett.
You're under arrest.
You have
the right to
remain silent.
I already read
him his Miranda.
You can never be
too careful now.
Hold onto that.
Maintain chain of custody.
Meet us back
at the station house.
Don't forget to voucher it.
I didn't do anything!
How about we start
with resisting arrest
and assaulting
a police officer?
Look.
He's the ***.
Check this out.
Look.
Hey! How many times
are you going to grab
my junk, you pervert?
What are you doing?
I was just showing
you the birthmark.
It's him.
I got the right guy.
Let's not strip-search
him in public.
We'll take pictures of it
back at the station house.
The birthmark
isn't going anywhere.
Looks like Florida to me.
Mmm.
To me,
it looks like guilty.
Whoa! We don't need to see
anything south of Key West!
Leave me alone!
Keep it in your pants, okay?
Sit down.
Keep your pants on,
Mr.
Hankett.
Now, you are not denying being
a flasher, are you,
Mr.
Hankett?
Look, what just happened,
that was an accident.
Okay?
It just kind of fell out.
Just like it did in
the electronics store.
What, you have an epileptic
seizure while you were
trying to put it away?
That wasn't me.
No?
This is your birthmark
on the surveillance photo.
Everybody's got birthmarks.
Which are just like DNA
and fingerprints, you see?
There's no two alike.
And these two
are exactly a match.
You can't deny that
you're the flasher.
It's too bad
you weren't caught
back when this was just
a penny-ante misdemeanor,
Mr.
Hankett.
They would
have given you
court-ordered therapy.
But there's nothing
wrong with me.
Except for a bad case of
very low self-esteem, huh?
Feelings of inadequacy.
So, you perform lewd acts
on unsuspecting little girls,
so they've got
to notice you then.
You get off
on their reactions.
Shock, fear, embarrassment.
Any reaction is
better than none at all.
Except for laughter.
I mean, that's got to
be emasculating.
Hmm?
Wait, nobody laughed at me.
This little girl did.
She called you lame
and she laughed in
your face.
So, then, you made her
your first *** victim.
And for the first time,
you felt absolute power.
But Colleen got away
before you finished.
So, next time,
you came prepared.
That's his
*** tool kit, sir.
That's a good collar,
Officer Fletcher.
Thank you, sir.
I'll write up
a recommendation for
your file.
Who's your CO?
I'm out of
the two-seven.
Well, that's
my old command.
I'll put a good word in
for you with Van Buren.
I was just
doing my job, sir.
Well, taking a serial
*** off the street
fast-tracks careers.
You keep up
the good work.
Thank you, sir.
I will.
Son?
Aren't you
forgetting something?
Sir?
Bag it and tag it.
Enjoy your paperwork.
(LAUGHS)
Who's Officer Fletcher?
Damn it.
Over here.
The "W" sticks,
but you probably
found that out for yourself.
Yeah.
I still can't
believe these even exist.
I mean,
I never even saw
a typewriter growing up.
Him, either.
But in his case,
they hadn't been invented yet.
I mean,
why can't we just
use the computers?
The brass likes
its pretty colors.
If they don't get
their pink, green
or yellow copies,
they wouldn't know
where to file it.
Plus, they're in bed
with the carbon copy industry.
Anyway, Fletcher,
we interviewed the girl
you saved from getting ***.
Is she okay?
MUNCH: She's okay.
She said Hankett
never touched her.
Or threatened her.
And he definitely
didn't have a knife out.
Well, what was
I supposed to do?
Wait until he dragged
her into the bushes?
Relax, kid.
Your stop was good.
He fit the description,
and she fit
the target profile.
You definitely saved her.
So, what's the problem?
No problem.
Just walk us through it.
You prowled
the park looking
for the perfect victim.
Young, vulnerable, isolated.
And now, it's their turn
to find you.
All three have already
identified you by
the birthmark.
They're on their way
here now to pick you
out of a lineup.
And lD is not going to be
a problem because you're
an exhibitionist.
So you never wore a mask.
(CRYlNG)
Oh, cry me a river.
STABLER: Now, Wayne,
we know you did it.
Go for the kill, Elliot.
We're here because
we want to know why.
Now, are you evil?
Are you sick?
I told my dad
that there was
something wrong with me
and that I needed help.
But he didn't want
He didn't want to hear it.
Daddy issues.
We have issues
of our own.
There might be
a glitch in the case.
What?
You need to talk to
the arresting officer.
Good God.
You're just a kid.
Well, I'm 22, ma'am.
A.
D.
A.
Jo Marlowe.
Well, officer who took down
the Central Park ***
deserves a big
pat on the back.
I appreciate that.
What was that for?
For being an idiot.
What, they don't teach
basic search procedures
at the academy anymore?
That was by the book.
When he refused to
show you his birthmark,
you should have
taken his information
and brought him in
here for questioning.
There are
plenty of legal ways
to get this information.
I pulled him aside.
I requested that
he show me the birthmark.
I didn't demand it.
And when he declined,
you violated his
Fourth Amendment rights
against search and seizure.
By pantsing him?
No.
No.
He started to run.
I just grabbed to stop him
and caught him by his
waistband.
That's why
I saw the birthmark.
That girl in the park says
you pulled his
waistband down,
and then he ran.
Uh
(STUTTERlNG)
It happened so fast.
It got confusing.
Oh.
That's going to go
over like gangbusters
on the witness stand.
Look, he ran.
He gave me probable
cause to search him.
This is fruit of
the poisonous tree.
Any half-witted
defense attorney
is going to get this
evidence thrown out.
Great.
Liv and El have
been grilling him for hours.
Based on the arrest, which
is incident to the
illegal search.
Everything he's spilling
right now is going to go
straight down the crapper.
Where's Fletcher now?
He's in the squad room,
licking his wounds.
Well, luckily for us,
you weren't the first
person to attack him today.
At least
we can hold Hankett
for assaulting an officer.
MARLOWE:
Where the hell is he?
He was
supposed to log this in
with the property clerk.
Even if
you do get it back in,
he broke chain of custody.
Has anybody
seen Fletcher?
Who?
Who?
MAN: Who's Fletcher?
The arresting officer?
He's not in the can.
I just came from there.
Please, help me
find Officer Fletcher.
He was on loan
to the task force
from the two-seven.
Let me find out what I did
to *** somebody off.
That didn't
sound promising.
Van Buren says she didn't
loan him to us.
She checked the rolls.
They don't have
an Officer Fletcher there.
Where did he come from?
I don't think he's a cop.
We lifted Fletcher's
prints off the typewriter,
ran them through
the MOS database.
Not a Member
of the Service.
Oh, the press is going to
wet their pants over this.
An entire
building full of cops, and
no one knew he was a fake?
We had 30 fresh faces.
You saw what a zoo it was.
Kid blended in.
There must be
some way to lD him.
Did you run his prints
through the criminal database?
Nothing.
Well, nothing is
what we've got on this
case until we find him.
Hold on.
Aside from
the embarrassment
to the department,
Fletcher not being
a police officer
is good news, right?
It gets all
the evidence back in.
Yeah.
Hankett's
Fourth Amendment protections
only extend to illegal search
and seizures by cops,
not civilians.
Of course,
our charming *** has
recourse to sue Fletcher.
Have at it.
As long
as we get our evidence,
this just might
work out for the best.
Yeah, but you have
to find him.
I need to change
the paperwork to list
this as a citizen's arrest.
But cop or not, I can't file
the complaint without his
signature.
So, you have 24 hours
from the arrest.
Gives us eight hours.
Least we got a picture.
I tracked down a looky-loo
who took photos of the arrest.
MUNCH: Release
it to the media?
No, not yet.
It won't hit
the papers until tomorrow,
anyway.
Why tip a lousy hand?
You guys have until
four to find him.
Even though Fletcher's
not the real deal,
his uniform is.
A Uni found the
hat he lost in the park.
It's from Marcum Uniforms.
Ray Marcum.
You pissed off a lot
of people after 9-11,
overcharging them
for your homemade,
crappy mourning bands.
What are you talking about?
I barely cleared a profit
with those.
Forty thousand
cops for customers,
what are you doing
selling to civilians?
Hand to God.
Never
This guy is not a cop,
and you let him buy
out the store.
You're supposed
to see his police lD.
You sold him
a badge and a gun.
You're going to jail, Ray.
Hang on.
I may
have sold him the uniform.
I may have sold him the gear.
But there's no way
I'm going to sell a gun
without a background check.
The guy forgot his lD.
What about his credit card?
Did it match the name tag
you made for him?
He paid cash.
He looked right,
he sounded right,
he had the haircut.
He told me he graduated the
academy, so I believed him.
Academy trains
Fletcher wasn't one of them.
Well, we know he didn't
graduate, but this guy
knew an awful lot.
Maybe he started
and washed out.
Or maybe he never even
made it past the civil
service exam.
That expands
the search to 13,000.
I just heard back
from the testing center.
Twenty Fletchers
took the test over
the past couple of years.
Says, "Knock yourself out.
"
Nice.
Well, give me that list.
I've got the DMV
database up now.
STABLER: You know,
there are plenty of
ways to learn cop-speak
without going
through the training.
Police magazines, Web sites.
I post on a couple of these
LEO Web sites.
You'd be surprised how many
holster-sniffers think they
know more than I do.
If any of them
talk less than you,
have them give me a call.
Guys.
We've got five hours.
Where are we?
BENSON: Down to long shots.
Check this out.
It's a stretch,
but this Phil Fletcher,
kind of looks a little
like our guy.
Right?
Could be a relative.
PHlL:
Could be.
Who knows?
BENSON: You don't know
if you're related?
My father,
the ex-cop, who forced
me to take that stupid exam,
only talks to two
of his six brothers.
I've got tons of cousins
I've never seen.
Where can I find
your father?
Hey, Pop! You got
a lady policeman here.
Wants to talk to you.
Thank you.
You get that in
the line of duty?
Yeah, I wish.
I'd be
getting my full pension.
I had a few too many on
the boat, fell down a hatch.
(EXCLAlMS)
This, by any chance,
a nephew of yours?
No.
He looks too smart.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Twenty-five
years on the force,
I never forget a face.
It's really urgent
that we find him.
McGinty's.
Cop bar on
On Third.
Thank you.
Keep them coming, Timmy.
Hannigan.
It's early,
even for you.
Bite me, Stabler.
I just got off
the late tour.
Late tour?
That ended about
four and a half hours ago.
*** of a night.
Had a 3-year-old
who got caught
in the cross fire
of a drug deal gone bad.
Ones with children,
they are the worst.
We're working
on a kid case ourselves,
right now.
A serial ***.
We're looking
for that witness.
You seen him in here?
HANNlGAN: Not the menace.
BENSON: You know him?
Yeah.
Brad, something.
Never trust
a non-drinker in a bar.
He picks up tabs.
Pumps us for stories.
Total wannabe.
Do you know
where we can find him?
I don't talk to him.
Just the blowhards.
Why don't you
come back tonight
when the crowd's here?
We don't have
until tonight.
All right,
I'll make some calls.
See if anyone knows him.
Nothing?
Don't tell me you came
back here empty-handed.
No, I've got
Fletcher right here.
I caught him
impersonating Liv.
That's not funny, Elliot.
We've got three and
a half hours.
We found a guy
who might have
a line on him.
He gave us a list of regulars
from a cop bar that Fletcher's
been frequenting.
So, we're going
to track them down.
I have to make a decision now
whether or not to go through
with this lineup.
I've got three *** victims
and their parents waiting
for me in there.
What are you
doing out here?
I'm getting some air.
I
It's those little girls.
It just
Look, I get it.
I've been
with Tina and Colleen and
Nicole since the beginning.
I should be in
there with them now.
No.
You should move
your *** and find Fletcher.
I'm going through
with the lineup.
Don't let me down.
He's number two.
Number two?
Number two.
I know it's him.
Did she get it right?
You did great.
We're all through here.
Nicole would like to thank
the officer who caught him.
Is he here?
That's a good question.
Is he here, Don?
Not at the moment,
but he should be
here soon.
We are inside
the three-hour mark.
Two of the girls
have lD'd Hankett.
Are we any
closer to Fletcher?
Well, we have a first name.
STABLER: That's not
leading us anywhere.
There is no Brad Fletcher
under 40 in the DMV records.
He's not registered to vote.
There are no utilities
in his name.
All right,
it's got to be an alias.
We have no choice.
Let's release his
picture to the press.
We waited too long.
It's not going
to hit the news until after
Hankett's out on the street.
The sooner we lD Fletcher,
the sooner we can
re-arrest Hankett.
(PHONE RlNGlNG)
BENSON: Benson.
I know where I'm going
to be until we do.
I miss
our old stakeouts.
Mind if I come along?
Hey.
Hannigan's
calling from the bar.
He found somebody
that knows Fletcher.
Go ahead.
FlN: Sergeant Duncan.
Can I help you?
MUNCH: Yeah.
I heard you know this guy.
Goes by the name
of Brad Fletcher.
That's his real name.
Half the force is
out looking for him.
Why?
Seems you did too
good a job teaching
him how to be a cop.
That's the point of
the Explorers program.
You're supposed to
take at-risk kids and aim
them in the right direction,
not create
delusional zealots.
First of all, Brad was
never in trouble before.
He signed up
the day he turned 14,
with a game plan
of actually joining
the force one day.
I thought he was
on the right track.
Yeah, well, he
derailed around crazy town.
You still in touch with him?
Of course.
He's still an Explorer.
I thought the cutoff
age was 20.
How old do you think
he is?
(SCHOOL BELL RlNGlNG)
You're 16?
I can explain.
Well, there's no time.
The A.
D.
A.
only
has 40 minutes to file
your complaint.
Sign here.
Unless you
want the ***
you caught to go free.
Are you kidding me?
That was the best
moment of my life.
Taking a perp
off the street?
Look, I only ran because that
A.
D.
A.
told me I'd screwed
everything up.
So, everything's
okay now, right?
It will be.
What are you doing?
Brad Fletcher,
you're under arrest for
impersonating an officer.
You have the right
to remain silent.
If you give up that right,
anything you say
can and will be
used against you.
All I ever wanted
was to be a cop.
Every Halloween, it's the
only costume he'd ever wear.
You wanted the respect
and authority without
putting in all the work.
MRS.
FLETCHER:
That's not true.
He reads.
Everything he can
get his hands on.
I even memorized
the Code of Criminal
Procedure, all right?
I am going to be
a police officer.
You can kiss
that dream goodbye.
A felony on your record
is automatic disqualification.
I haven't committed a felony.
STABLER: No,
you committed two.
Impersonation of a police
officer and criminal
possession of a gun.
No, the gun is mine.
It's registered.
BENSON: To you.
What were you thinking
letting a child carry
a gun?
You have to be 21
to get a permit to carry.
I guess you don't know
as much about the law
as you think you do.
No worries.
You'll have plenty
of time to read in jail.
Look, I caught our ***,
all right? I saved that girl.
This is the thanks he gets?
That *** nearly walked
because of your son.
He's not going to,
though.
Right?
Motion to exclude.
Brad Fletcher was in
violation of my client's
Fourth Amendment rights.
He's a civilian, Your Honor.
Her argument has no merit.
Officer Fletcher,
as he introduced
himself to my client,
was not only
dressed in full uniform,
he was acting as an agent
of the NYPD, under their
direct supervision.
He was never authorized
to act as an agent of
the department.
He was not deputized.
He attended
a task force meeting.
He was briefed on the case,
walked through
an apprehension plan,
assigned a sector
of the park to patrol.
I don't know, Ms.
Marlowe.
Sounds like he was acting
as a police operative to me.
As embarrassing as
this is for all of us,
and as convincing as his
little charade may have been,
Brad Fletcher is
a 16-year-old kid
who got carried away
playing cops and robbers.
Handcuffs,
a billy club,
a 9-millimeter?
Doesn't sound like
he was playing a game to me.
He wasn't.
And everything
he recovered under
the direction of the police
is fruit of
the poisonous tree
and must be excluded.
It's inevitable discovery.
We may have
different definitions
of "inevitable," Counselor.
I'll review the motion.
I'll let you know
when I have a ruling.
At which point,
I'll be filing
a motion to dismiss.
Your Honor should be aware
that the department in no way
condones Mr.
Fletcher's
actions.
Oh, please.
There was talk of
awarding him a medal.
Hardly.
The D.
A.
's office
is filing charges
against this
juvenile delinquent,
and I'm due
in family court on
this matter right now.
This isn't fair.
The detectives promised
to give me a break.
Just take
your medicine.
She cut you a good deal.
You're not going
to have a felony
on your record.
The charge is Criminal
lmpersonation in the
First Degree.
How does your client plead?
Guilty.
I see here there's
a plea agreement
in place?
There is, Your Honor.
Have the People
agreed to the terms?
We have.
Then, under the agreement,
defendant pleads guilty to
attempted criminal
impersonation of
a police officer,
a class "A" misdemeanor and
will perform 100 hours of
community service.
"The defendant further
agrees to relinquish
all police paraphernalia,
"including but
not limited to,
"uniforms, badges, handcuffs,
"mace, police band radios,
scanners.
"Defendant is prohibited
from logging on
"to law enforcement
Web sites, chat rooms
and message boards.
"He cannot be
in possession of,
or subscribe to,
"police periodicals,
magazines,
"criminal or forensic
investigation manuals,
"and he must
surrender all firearms.
"
JUDGE: In exchange for
successfully complying
with these terms,
at the end of sixth months,
the case against you
will be dismissed,
and expunged
from your record
on your 21st birthday.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Next case.
(GAVEL POUNDlNG)
I'm not done with you.
I need you to testify
at Wayne Hankett's trial.
I can't wait to
nail the ***.
Is there anything
else I can do?
No.
Wait.
I've got
a little bit of free time.
If it's okay with your mom,
I'd like you
to come to my office
and go over your testimony.
I don't need you
messing this up, too.
Mr.
Fletcher,
isn't it true that
you're a convicted felon?
No! What are
you talking about?
You lowered it
to a misdemeanor.
You
Brad.
I am cross-examining you
as the defense attorney.
And believe me.
She isn't going
to hold your hand.
Right.
Sorry.
Pond is going to
try to discredit you.
But this isn't about you.
It's about
the *** victims.
If you get emotional,
she's going to hammer you.
Which shouldn't be hard,
because you're
a compulsive liar.
(SHOUTlNG) That's a
(SlGHlNG)
(lN CALM VOlCE)
That's not true.
Better.
While you were
impersonating
a police officer,
did you see my client
do anything illegal?
I saw him approaching
his next *** victim.
Conjecture.
That's going to be the defense
attorney's objection, which
will be granted.
The jury is going to be
instructed to disregard it.
But they won't.
You were a cop.
(SlGHlNG)
In another life.
What was it like?
Brad.
Well, what did you
get the medal for?
I took down a drug cartel.
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
You've got to tell
me all about that.
I mean, that's
Hold on.
(RlNGlNG CONTlNUES)
Hey, there.
Me, too.
(MARLOWE GlGGLlNG)
We can talk about that later.
I've got someone in my office
right now.
But tonight, after work.
Put that down.
I was just looking at it.
I wasn't going to take it.
Good.
Because that would be
a violation of your probation.
And then,
I would have to kill you.
Judge Ridenour
wants to see you
in the courtroom.
This should just take
a couple of minutes.
Stay put and don't
touch anything.
(DOOR CLOSlNG)
I did not come to
this decision lightly.
But upon review,
I find that Mr.
Fletcher
was acting as an agent
for the police,
and, therefore, I am
granting the Defense's
motion to exclude evidence.
Without which,
the People have no case.
I move to dismiss.
Motion granted.
Without prejudice?
Of course.
If any new evidence
should come to light,
the People are
free to re-file.
Fifteen minutes.
What the hell
are you doing here?
I told you to stay put.
You also said that
filing charges against me
would guarantee
Wayne Hankett
be put in jail.
I mean, how can you just
let him get away with this?
It's a momentary setback.
You heard the judge.
All I have to do is
find some new evidence.
What additional evidence?
Everything
we have is tied to
Fletcher's bad search.
We dragged those three girls
through the trauma of
a lineup for nothing.
Not that it's
any consolation,
but Fletcher
is practically
suicidal over this.
Look.
Let's go over
the evidence that
we have.
The DD5s,
the interviews,
the surveillance tapes.
Okay.
But we didn't
handle the original
flashing incidents.
We could always
re-interview those victims.
Maybe one of them
can give us
an independent
piece of evidence
not connected to Fletcher.
So, we need somebody new
to see him drop his pants.
That will give us
the birthmark.
Hey.
When he was stressed
out in interrogation,
he flashed us.
Can we arrest him for that?
It's a slap-on-the-wrist
misdemeanor.
We only had him in custody
on Fletcher's bad arrest.
Well, we all know it's just
a matter of time before
he rapes again.
So, we sit on him 24-7.
We?
MARLOWE: This is it.
Of course,
he's got to live in Queens.
Twenty minutes from my house.
What kind of 38-year-old
still lives at home
with Daddy?
Well, we know
they're not close.
Hankett said he told
his father he was sick.
But Daddy didn't
want to hear about it.
Well, he may not want
to listen to his son,
but he's been looking
at him his whole life.
And he can give
us that birthmark,
and it won't be
tied to Fletcher.
Let's go see if Daddy
wants his basement back.
All he has to do
is give up his son.
(GUN FlRlNG)
(GRUNTlNG)
I need a bus.
Police!
Drop your weapon!
I'm not the criminal.
That *** broke
into my house.
Give me your weapon.
Fletcher.
What the hell
were you doing out here?
Hands on the rail.
MARLOWE: Come on.
Hang in there, kid.
(PANTlNG) Just hang on.
(SlGHS)
What happened?
You were shot
in the line of duty.
Really?
No.
But I wanted to make
you feel good for a second.
That bullet was a quarter
of an inch from your aorta.
It was Hankett's father.
Yeah.
You broke
into their house,
which violated your
probation, by the way.
You are in big trouble.
I couldn't let Hankett
get away with it.
Well, now they're pressing
charges.
Against you.
How did you get
into that house?
When I was
vouchering the evidence,
I found his house key.
You told me
I screwed up this case.
I just wanted to
get new evidence.
By breaking and entering?
You blew your last shot
to get into the academy,
kiddo.
(CRYlNG) I couldn't
let him *** another girl.
You sacrificed your
entire future for nothing.
No.
You didn't see
what I saw.
He's so sick.
Yeah, we know.
No.
Not Wayne.
Not Wayne.
It was his dad.
What?
Wayne was asleep.
I was searching
through his room,
and I heard
muffled screams.
I thought someone was
being assaulted.
Another girl.
What was it?
The old man
was in a back room,
watching a video of
Wayne raping Tina Harper.
The second *** victim?
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm positive.
Captain Cragen
showed us photos
of the victims at
the task force meeting.
It was the actual ***.
That old man was
getting off watching it.
Okay.
(SlGHlNG)
Well, if this pans out,
you may have bought yourself
another shot at the academy.
But I do not want to
see your *** back here
for another five years.
You got it?
Okay.
This doesn't make sense.
Wayne didn't blindfold
any of his victims.
Nobody saw him
with a camera.
Fletcher's pretty
heavily medicated.
Maybe it's the morphine.
Or maybe the kid's
telling the truth.
Look, we do know that
Wayne's got a thing
for cameras.
He did rig an entire bank of
televisions to show himself
***.
Okay.
So, where
was the camera?
Maybe he
set it up in advance.
Camouflaged in the bushes?
No.
Fletcher told Jo
that he saw an extreme
close-up of Tina's face.
Almost as if Travis
was watching the ***
through his son's eyes.
Hidden camera must
have been on him.
You know how small
they're making them now.
With micro-technology,
it could be in a button.
His baseball cap.
All the victims said
he never took it off.
Get a search warrant.
Tear the house apart.
I'm not seeing
anything in these hats.
I'm just
going to take them all,
see what Morales can find.
Nothing to find.
This is bull.
You have a lot
of *** here,
Mr.
Hankett.
No law against that.
Yeah.
Unless
anyone's underage.
Or being ***.
I understand you were
watching home movies
of your kid last night.
You must be very proud.
Where are those movies,
Mr.
Hankett?
I don't know
what you're talking about.
That fake cop
has it in for my son.
He's so obsessed.
Now, he's going after me.
You went after
him with a gun.
He broke into my house
in the middle of the night.
He was unarmed and fleeing.
You got off three shots.
He was coming at me.
I was afraid for my life.
I don't know what
story he fed you,
but that little ***
came here to kill my kid.
And where is
your lovely son?
He went for a walk.
Was he wearing a hat?
Yeah, he was wearing a hat.
He took the subway to
Manhattan.
He might have made us.
He ducked into a peep show.
Ask if we should
go in after him.
All right, got it.
They got a search warrant
for the hat.
Let'*** it.
You were in there
quite a while, Wayne.
Did you get the job done,
or do you have to do a ***?
My lawyer said
I didn't need to
talk to you.
Okay?
We're not here to talk.
Hey, give me that back.
Afraid not.
Looks like we have
a new development
in the case.
What's that?
End of your movie career.
The only footage we got from
the ball cap camera was the
peep show.
Well, I really
don't need to see that.
We've got plenty
else to show you.
Liv and Elliot
tore the house apart
and they found this under
one of the floorboards.
(CRYlNG) Please,
don't hurt me.
WAYNE: Be quiet.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
Look at me.
(CRYlNG CONTlNUES)
Turn it off.
Well, that gets us Wayne back.
What do we get the father on?
Depends.
We know
he was watching it.
How involved was he
in his son's twisted life?
(SlGHlNG) I need
to see my dad.
Oh, Daddy can't
help you now, Wayne.
Don't you think
you've put him
through enough grief?
What?
That poor man.
That must have been
really *** him.
Raising you alone.
He supported
you your whole life,
and what did you do?
You ruined his.
Well, that's not true.
Come on, Wayne.
He's not the sick one.
He has no criminal record.
He's a decent guy that
got dragged into all this.
How? To help his son.
No, it was his idea!
To film the rapes?
Yes! Everything.
Look, I didn't want
to touch those girls.
Wayne.
Your father
didn't make you ***.
Yes, he did.
How?
How, Wayne?
Did he hold a gun
to your head and make
you *** those girls?
He's been putting
me down for years.
He called me a sissy,
and said he was
ashamed of me.
He said I was worthless
and that I would
never amount to anything.
So, your father was
emotionally abusive.
But you need to take
responsibility
for your own actions.
You mean, like,
when I killed my mother?
What are you talking about?
She died when I was 12.
It was my fault.
He said l
He said that I made her
worry so much
that she got cancer.
But you know
that's not your fault.
Then, he said
that he could
never marry again
because no woman
would ever want
me as a son.
And then,
he started to drink,
and that's when he
brought prostitutes home,
and he made me watch
so that I would finally
learn how to be a man.
This started
when you were 12?
And then he brought
home an extra one.
You know, for me.
It didn't work.
I couldn't do it
in front of him.
And that only made
him hate me more.
Wayne.
Wayne, I'm sorry
that nobody helped you
when you were young.
But you're 38 now.
Why didn't you just leave
when you turned 18?
That loser could never
survive on his own.
So, you've
been supporting
him this whole time.
Didn't you want
him out of the house?
Of course I did.
I wanted to retire
two years ago,
but couldn't.
He should be
supporting me now.
Well, there's not
a lot of money in being
a professional flasher, huh?
You knew he had that
problem, didn't you?
I told him to go
out and meet girls.
Of course, he couldn't
do that right, either.
So, you gave him pointers?
I didn't tell him
to *** nobody.
You knew exactly
what he was doing,
because you couldn't get off
without watching him.
I just found that tape.
I had no idea what was on it.
And I hear
that you thoroughly
enjoyed what you saw on it.
So, what's wrong?
Can't get off
by yourself anymore?
I got plenty in my day.
You got plenty of *** that
you screwed in front of
your son.
And when you went limp,
you used Wayne as a surrogate.
It's really you raping
those girls through his eyes.
Wayne's sick.
He made that up.
He told us everything.
All those years of abuse,
the brainwashing.
I wish
he'd never been born.
He's completely useless.
Especially
in electronics, huh?
Now, you've been
in that industry
for 35 years?
It was you who rigged up
those cameras for him.
Doesn't mean
I knew what kind of filth
he was going to put on it.
We went through
the surveillance
tape from that store.
And guess what.
You're on it.
Watching your own son choking
the chicken in front of those
little girls.
I was just
trying to help him.
What, be a pervert?
You don't know what
you're talking about.
There's something
wrong with your son,
so you wanted to make
him into a real man.
That kid had no
interest in sex.
Exposing himself
wasn't enough.
I had to do something
to fix him.
You were grooming him
to be a ***.
He couldn't get a girl
any other way.
So, you were just
being a good father.
What happens to me now?
You'll be transported
to Central Booking
for processing.
I wish
I'd had you aborted.
No, you don't.
Dad.
Let's go.
Let's go, Wayne.
WAYNE: Dad.
Let's go, Wayne.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Wayne.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry
I got you in trouble.
Get this sack
of waste off me.
Wayne, that's enough.
Get him out of here.
You're dead to me.
Dad!
You're dead to me!
I love you!
You're dead to me.
I love you, Dad!
Dad! I love you!
