Law & Order Special Victims Unit s08e01 Episode Script
Informed
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.
I'm sorry, but we have to take the urgent care cases first.
I wouldn't come to the ER if it wasn't an emergency.
We appreciate that, Mrs.
Weinman.
I've been waiting two hours.
It's gotten worse.
Look! Stop scratching.
- It itches! - Excuse me.
- And burns! - I just need a prescription.
Wait your turn.
Go kill another coat, lady.
Please tell me I get to go before her.
I understand you won't let any of our doctors examine you.
That's right.
I'm a social worker.
My name's Tanya Majeski.
What's yours? I just need the morning after pill.
You're bloody and you're covered with bruises.
Were you raped? No, I made a love connection.
Have you reported this to the police? No.
- Let me call special victims for you.
- That's okay.
You should let a doctor run a rape kit.
I should try a different ER.
You don't have to do that.
A doctor will give you emergency contraception and antibiotics for any possible STI's.
Hey, you okay? Yeah, never better.
- Can you tell me who attacked you? - Who are you? Detective Olivia Benson, special victims unit.
I told that social worker not to call you.
Listen to me, it's not too late to go back in there and do a rape kit.
I can't tell you how many women regret not doing one.
- I can't listen to another lecture.
- Okay.
My car is right here, will you at least let me drive you home? No, thanks.
Taxi! Here, I'm gonna give you my card.
Take my card if you change your mind.
I'll just throw it away and I don't like killing trees.
Will you tell me your real name then? How did you find me? I got the medallion number off your taxi.
I'm sorry, Haley.
Who told you my name? The building super.
What gives you the right? Listen, I don't want to cause you any more stress, I just had to make sure that you were okay.
It's none of your business.
A lot of battered women who don't press charges go back to abusive partners.
- You think my boyfriend did this? - Did he? Justin has never hurt a living creature in his life.
Well, where's Justin now? We don't live together.
I haven't told him yet.
Can you keep it down, please? It's 3 A.
M.
What's going on here? Sorry, Mr.
Delphy.
She's leaving now.
As soon as you answer a few more questions.
Shut those fucking dogs up! Haley, where were you attacked? I haven't changed my mind.
I just don't need you broadcasting my business.
It could be a serial rapist, Haley.
And their violence only escalates.
Now, I know you don't want what happened to you happening to other women.
I don't know who he is.
- Then describe him for me.
- I didn't see his face.
- What did you see? - Nothing.
- Walk me through what happened.
- Stop! - You haven't bathed yet.
- I fed the dogs first.
I was just running the water when you showed up.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Haley, Haley? Haley, please listen to me.
I just wanna soak in the tub.
You can still do a rape kit.
You can leave now.
Once the evidence is washed away, Haley, it's gone forever.
Haley? Lock the door on your way out.
Haley, I'm leaving you my card in case you change your mind.
I won't.
Office of the Medical Examiner Tuesday, September 5 Evidence for DNA testing is usually logged in at the desk.
Can you sign right there? And it's normally delivered by patrol.
Must be a VIP for you to be walking it in personally.
And I need a rush on it.
Just like everyone else in line.
This guy's a real sexual sadist.
There you go.
Thanks.
Hold on, I need to give you a receipt.
He beat her to a pulp, shaved her head.
Didn't use a safety razor, so I don't want her ending up here.
- I have a rape kit coming? - She refused it.
- Lucky we got the panties.
- Yeah.
Sign here.
You know, the French resistance used to shave the heads of female collaborators.
Really? Thanks.
I ever tell you about the year I spent in Paris? No.
- Nice outfit.
- Thanks.
You were wearing it yesterday.
Yeah, I caught a case last night.
I haven't been home since.
Haven't typed it up yet.
It was an unknown assailant.
He battered her, shaved her head.
You run the M.
O.
? Nothing.
But I found this photo archived on the internet.
Collaborators with shaven heads are paraded through the town by the French resistance.
Our rapist is getting his ideas from the History channel? These are women who cooperated with the enemy or slept with them.
- A jealous boyfriend? - Victim says no.
I checked the DIR's.
There's no domestic violence calls.
What does she do for a living? Super says she works at a food co-op.
Well, if she was collaborating, who's the enemy? Co-Operation Food CO-OP 74 Horatio Street Tuesday, September 5 Slaughterhouses, fast food chains, pesticide producers.
They're poisoning our bodies.
I can't imagine Haley was friendly with any of them.
Hardly.
All our produce is organic.
What's Haley's position here? She's in vitamins and homeopathics.
And of course she's a co-owner.
Really? She inherited? I don't think you understand how a co-op works.
All our employees are co-owners.
Same as our members.
So the profit margin's not very high.
It's not our primary objective.
We're more concerned with community.
Well, anybody in the community give Haley a hard time yesterday? Cindy, did you close with Haley last night? - No, she had to leave at 8:30.
- Why? - One of her groups had a meeting.
- Uh-huh, and what group was that? The one her boyfriend runs.
Ah, Justin, you know where I can find him? The broken spine bookstore on Houston.
He's the owner.
And what was the meeting about? A free exchange of ideas.
Still protected under the Bill of rights.
I'm just asking if Haley made it to the meeting.
What do you want next? A list of books individual customers are buying? You know, cops in Denver tried that.
The supreme court shot them down.
Justin, that's not what I'm here for.
You know, a few of our fundamental liberties are still intact.
Like the right to read whatever we choose without fear of government intrusion.
- What's Cause? - Who told you about that? It's right here on your table.
Community activists united saving earth.
Saving the earth from what? Abuses of human, animal, environmental rights.
Justin, I got to tell you, for such a bleeding heart, you don't seem too concerned about what happened to Haley.
What are you talking about? Your girlfriend was brutally attacked and raped last night.
So when's the last time you saw her? Uh, at the meeting.
We finished at around 11 o'clock.
You didn't take her home? No, I had to do inventory.
Did she leave with another member? Yeah, at the same time.
Who? I'm not giving you member's names.
Even if one of them raped your girlfriend? Nobody in the Cause would do that to anyone.
- Who you submit a DNA swab? - Never.
Why not? It's the ultimate invasion of privacy.
Apartment of Roy Delphy 329 Greenwich Avenue Tuesday, September 5 Do you know if Haley's boyfriend was here last night? No, I didn't hear them.
And he's hard to miss.
Always on his soapbox about something.
She have any visitors? Yeah.
You at 3 A.
M.
Anybody before that? No, I'd have heard.
The dogs bark like crazy.
Was I glad to see them go.
Go where? She gave them all away today.
Why? / She's always finding homes for mutts.
But this is the first time she's ever been dog free.
- Is Haley home now? - Without the dogs? Who knows? Don't move.
I wanna see hands.
It's okay.
Let's stay calm.
I'm not here to hurt you.
Ms.
Benson? Star? What's the FBI doing here? No, no, no.
You first.
What are you working on now, Dana? - I still go by Star undercover.
- You undercover now? No sign of foul play.
Well, he slashed up her furniture pretty good.
- He obviously had a knife.
- No blood spatter.
He tossed the place.
He was looking for something.
- Who are you calling? - CSU.
Don't bother, my ERT boys are on the way.
Feds have to process this scene.
This is no time for a pissing contest.
I got a rape victim in trouble.
Hey, if she gave the pups away, she went into hiding.
I figured she skeddadled before you got here.
- You have any idea who he is? - Nope, do you? Her boyfriend Justin won't give us his DNA, but he's a conspiracy nut.
Oh, no, he's not paranoid.
He is being watched by the government.
Why? The FBI considers eco-terrorism our number one domestic terror threat.
You're investigating Justin's group Cause.
He runs the local chapter, but they're all over the country.
I know, I looked him up.
But they're against people driving SUVs and wearing fur.
They're a harmless non-profit group.
We believe they are funneling money into radical environmental groups.
What does this have to do with Haley's rape? Cause is a fertile recruiting ground from something called earth defenders group, EDG.
Are you familiar with them? Let me show you.
August, 2003.
There is an arson spree against sport utility vehicles.
Now, the damage is totaled at $2.
5 million.
Now, New Jersey, 2005.
The homes of the employees of a pharmaceutical company were vandalized.
EDG is against animal testing.
Yep, and the company refused to stop.
- So was anyone hurt? - No, not yet.
But the targets continue to receive death threats.
Oh, and another thing EDG is against.
They got a great big problem with urban sprawl.
Now, this was a new construction out on Long Island.
They put up a sign that said, "if you build it, we will burn it.
" So you know for a fact that Haley's a member of EDG.
No one advertises their membership.
It's a decentralized group, with no official leadership.
And the smallest cells act autonomously.
So it is almost impossible to track them down.
So how'd you manage to infiltrate it? I didn't.
Haley did.
- Haley's FBI? - No, no, no, no, no.
No.
She's my confidential informant.
So they must have found out.
That's why they shaved her head.
Five years ago, Haley was a wild child.
dating some midlevel distributor.
The feds opened her up, took down most of the crew.
Including a Colombian supplier.
- And she's been an informant ever since? - No.
She worked off that beef long ago.
She went into rehab, cleaned herself up.
And then went the opposite direction.
Ended up sneaking into some research lab, releasing all kinds of fuzzy little creatures.
That's what you got her on? She smashed two electron microscopes and a centrifuge.
- She was facing serious time.
- Right.
So you blackmailed her.
These environmental radical groups, they are playing with fire and explosives and it's just a matter of time before someone gets killed.
- Was she wearing a wire last night? - Of course.
Star, they found out.
You got her raped.
If it was a member who raped her.
I need your membership list.
- I know that you have one.
- No.
No.
I been working this thing for over a year now.
You can't just traipse in there and jeopardize everything.
- This is a rape case.
- Of a federal informant.
Who, by the way, I happen to have become very, very fond of.
And I will hunt down the man who hurt her.
I've got his DNA.
Now, all anybody has to know is that we're investigating a rape.
That's it.
She's my girlfriend.
Why would I rape her? Maybe she betrayed you.
With another man.
Did you catch her having sexual relations with anybody? - You don't know Haley.
- No, that's true.
Long time no see.
What are you, busting my balls? I took one lousy sick day.
Blue flu.
/ That's right, don't tell the captain.
Hey, Finn, could you help us find an available interview room? I'll be there in a minute.
Melinda! Hey.
If you're gonna make it look like I'm part of a conspiracy with you, - at least let me in on it.
- What are you talking about? I came here to give you DNA results.
- There's a match in the system? - Yeah.
- What's his name? - I can't tell you.
- Why? - I advised her not to.
My lab's reputation is spotless.
Don't put it at risk again.
- Melinda, wait.
- Olivia, my office.
Your 61 on the Haley Kerns rape.
No victim's statement, TPO's blank.
We're still working it out.
Is this a cooperating complainant? She was too traumatized to say much.
But she gave you her panties.
- You stole them.
- I collected them.
You were kind enough to leave your card for Haley.
She called an hour ago to speak to your superior.
- Is she okay? - No.
She said you harassed her at the hospital.
Followed her home and forced yourself inside her apartment.
She had to lock herself in the bathroom to get away from you.
Her attacker obviously threatened her not to talk.
I got DNA that otherwise would have been lost.
There was a hit.
Why can't Warner give it to me? Because you broke the law to get it.
The panties weren't in plain view.
Haley said the bedroom door was closed.
I didn't tell her the DNA was already processed.
She said she would sue if it was.
Or if she or any of her friends were further harassed by you.
Somebody's forcing her to say that.
The feds put her in with some dangerous people.
Then why aren't the feds handling this? They are.
We've been working it jointly.
No, you're not.
Pull her out of there.
Her apartment was torn to shreds.
This girl is in danger.
She was supposed to report to me yesterday, but I haven't heard squat.
Well, I wish you luck tracking her down, but you'll have to do it without detective Benson.
Well, that just mucks up everything.
Can we at least finish questioning Justin? There a shortage of interview rooms over at the federal building? I can't take him there.
- Why not? - He thinks I'm SVU.
Cut him loose.
The fact that there's a DNA hit at all means the rapist is in the system.
Justin's isn't.
I checked.
Okay, I'll run back and I'll run my numbers of suspected EDG members.
And I'll let you know if I find anything.
Oh, that's great.
Don't recycle.
You know, you keep doing that and the eco-terrorists win.
I recycle sometimes.
- Is your captain around? - You just missed him.
Perfect.
How about our partner? No, they kicked her home.
She hadn't slept in three days.
Shoot.
I've got a suspected EDG member with a statutory conviction.
Mitchell Hissam.
He hooked up a couple years back with a girl at a landfill protest.
Turns out she was still in high school.
Stat rape and sexual sadism are two different monsters.
Yeah, but maybe this one is two-headed, considering that Mitchell is the one Haley left the meeting with.
Elliot.
/ Hey.
- How do you know that? - My ERT boys came through.
Found this hidden in her apartment.
That was a pointless meeting.
Come on, Mitchell, you know Justin's a pacifist.
I know he wouldn't approve of what we're doing Saturday.
Listen, about that What, you're not getting cold feet, are you? Ow, Mitchell, stop it.
You committed to me, Haley.
There's no backing out now.
You're hurting my arm.
Let go! And that's where the recording ends.
Any idea where we can find this guy? He's a nature boy.
He has a place about an hour outside the city.
And I have a warrant.
Cabin of Mitchell Missam Pawling, New York Thursday, September 7 - You pick a mean lock.
- Yeah.
Listen, we should be able to hear his car coming up the road, but let's keep the lights off just in case.
Where do you think Mitchell is? Probably at a midnight tree hug.
- Not too many places to hide a girl.
- Nope, but I bet there's a lot of other little goodies stashed around here.
- Oh, no.
- What? Tofu patties.
Garden burgers, hot dogs, veggie steak? At least he walks the walk.
The anarchist's cookbook.
Required reading for extremists of all Star.
- Is that dynamite? - Yeah.
- Do not drop it.
- I wasn't planning on it.
Put it back in the freezer.
Carefully but quickly.
Call the bomb squad.
No time.
It's crystallizing.
If the temperature goes up more than three degrees, it'll explode.
Let's go.
Ladies first.
That was some kind of adrenaline rush.
What kind of idiot would put dynamite in the freezer? I know it's just a couple sticks That was close.
Elliot? Elliot? Are you okay? Oh, god.
Okay.
Yeah, I need an ambulance, please.
Two, three! We have got to find Haley.
It's clear Mitchell's got something big planned.
- How long was he out? - Only two or three minutes.
Where else could he have stashed her? - Ma'am, he's got a concussion.
- I know that.
- You're a jinx.
- Who, me? Last year at the courthouse when I got shot, you were there.
You're bad luck.
No blood in his ear, it's probably not a skull fracture.
You hear that? You're gonna be fine.
Every time you show up I nearly get killed.
You're still above ground, hon.
Maybe I'm your good luck charm.
Ma'am, you need to come along as well.
You need stitches.
This is just a little scratch.
Can you fix me up real quick and can you point me in the direction of the local sheriff? Dutchess County Sheriff's Department Pawling, New York Thursday, September 7 Most of the cabins around here are owned by hunters.
Their idea of communing with nature isn't quite the same as Mitchell's.
Elliot told me to tell you you're nuts.
That's just the concussion talking.
Middle creek keeps flooding because of the beaver dams.
They set traps, Mitchell keeps springing them.
Has he hurt anyone, blown anything up? Paper ran an article about Will Tonkin's record kill last deer season.
Cabin burned down right after.
Do you think Mitchell did it? Think it.
Can't prove it.
You ever see Mitchell with this girl? No.
Pretty thing.
I don't know how he'd explain her to his girlfriend.
Mitchell's got a girlfriend? Persephone Free James.
Runs an organic greenhouse called Persephone Seeds just north of town.
Can't miss it.
I sell seeds over the internet.
Where's Mitchell, Persephone? I water them with this organic compost tea.
No herbicides.
No fungicides.
- They look real tasty.
- Well, try one.
Thank you.
Corporate agribusiness creates these hybrids that resist disease and bruising, but they are completely flavorless.
Persephone, have you seen this girl? No.
Did you know that they make square tomatoes now? Watermelons too, for easier transport and packaging.
- Well, that is just wrong.
- I know.
Now, your boyfriend tied up this girl.
He shaved her head and he raped her.
You don't have a problem with that? - Mitchell would never hurt anybody.
- Really? Then why does he have dynamite? Prison is gonna be real hard on you, girl.
They don't serve organic food there.
Why would I go to prison? For harboring a domestic terrorist.
Then what is gonna happen to all your little babies? They're all just gonna rot.
Now, if you don't want that to happen, I suggest you tell us where Mitchell is.
I'm supposed to meet him later today.
Good, where? Back in the city in front of Gen-eng foods.
Thanks.
Gen-eng Foods Corporate Headquarters Friday, September 8 Join the fight against bio-devastation! - Join the fight against bio-devastation! - Join the fight! Thank you, I will.
There's Haley's boyfriend.
They haven't done enough testing on genetically altered food to know the extent of the risks.
There's Mitchell Hissam.
We genetically alter food to grow in climates where it never grew before.
We feed the starving.
Liar! You line your own greedy pockets at the expense of people's health! We undergo stringent FDA testing.
Hey, if the ingredients aren't hazardous, then why don't you identify them on the label as genetically altered? Answer the lady's question! You first.
Mitchell Hissam, please come with us.
Why? I haven't done anything.
This is a peaceful demonstration.
Yeah? You leave your dynamite at home? He's innocent! You had no right to be in my home.
I got a warrant says I did.
- Where's Haley, Mitchell? - How should I know? I haven't seen her since The Cause meeting on Monday night? What? You spying on Cause meetings now? It's a well-respected, law-abiding organization.
Unlike EDG.
So what'd you and Haley talk about that night? Non-violent civil disobedience.
Oh, yeah? And where did that topic lead you? The corner of 14th and 8th.
I took a left, she went straight.
She said her apartment was only a block away.
So he knows where she lives.
Someone else took her the rest of the way, not me.
Who? I heard Haley's voice.
I turned around, she was arguing with some guy.
Well, you're supposed to be all about saving poor little defenseless creatures.
- How come you didn't go to her aid? - I was about to.
But they walked off arm in arm.
They got into an obscenely huge SUV.
I remember thinking, you hypocritical bitch! Okay, so could this alleged suspect have forced her into the vehicle? They both got into the driver's side.
Is he making this up? He really sounds convincing, but sociopaths always do.
You saw the DNA report.
Is he Haley's rapist? You advised me not to look.
I never did.
The FBI's been keeping an eye on your little group EDG for quite some time now, Mitchell.
What's to watch? From what I hear, EDG members are everywhere but nowhere.
Yeah, but they like to brag about their actions on the internet.
Post pictures.
Now this here, this is some poor millionaire bought up ten acres of pristine wilderness out on Long Island, tried to build himself a little home.
A three member EDG cell burned it down.
See that man in the middle, Mitchell? That could be you.
It could be anyone.
The incendiary device they used was an IED.
- What's that? - Improvised explosive device.
This particular one used dynamite.
Right, I hear that forensics experts can link two separate explosions to two separate sticks of dynamite from the same batch.
Domestic terror charge is gonna put you under 40 years to life, Mitchell.
It'd be in your best interest to tell us where Haley is.
I don't have a clue! - He's not very bright.
- Nope, obviously not.
Dumb dumb tried to put dynamite in a freezer.
You put a cop in the hospital, Mitchell.
Do you have any idea how bad it is for you, Mitchell? Do you? You can't keep raping the earth! This little campfire is nothing compared to what's coming! What's coming, Mitchell? What's coming? We're listening.
Don't worry.
You won't be able to miss it.
It's gonna light up the sky.
EDG has something big in the works.
That's gotta be enough to let us check the DNA now.
The threat of a terrorist attack and the rape are two separate crimes.
Unless they aren't.
What if he attacked her because she found out what EDG had planned? We don't even know for sure he is the one who raped her.
We would if we checked the DNA.
Pull in his girlfriend Persephone.
Lock her up tight for me.
All right.
I sure hope he told her what's going on.
'Cause he is never gonna give it up to us.
Haley is who we need to find.
She's the one who knows something.
Fun and games are over.
I need to know once and for all if Mitchell is the one that raped Haley.
/ Let's go.
He in his office? Left with Novak a while ago.
What do you mean? Where did they go? Just tell us if the hit off the DNA was from Mitchell Hissam.
I can't believe you're asking me that.
I know it's ethically questionable, but if it isn't him, she'll never know we looked.
No, I can't believe you're asking me that, 'cause I was about to call you.
I was called to a homicide this morning.
John Doe, single gunshot wound to the head.
I printed him, got a pop in the system.
Who is he? He was a convicted drug dealer named Zander Owens.
Got out of prison two weeks ago.
What's that got to do with us? DNA match you're asking about wasn't to a Mitchell Hissam.
It was to this guy.
Haley's rapist.
It doesn't make sense.
Why would Haley kill a drug dealer? Revenge.
That's why she wouldn't tell me who raped her.
Or let us run his DNA.
If we knew who he was, she couldn't go back and kill him.
Is there any chance that Zander is connected to Mitchell? Could he be a member of EDG? I didn't see any community activism on his rap sheet.
Then why did he shave her head? All we know about him is he was just released from a federal penitentiary.
For drugs.
Haley was an informant before.
The feds are the connection.
Federal Bureau of Investigation 26 Federal Plaza Friday, September 8 Haley's intel gave us Zander Owens with a pound of powder.
Got him a nickel in Lewisburg.
Hey.
/ Detective Benson.
This is special agent Lockwood.
Haley's former case agent.
Back when she was dating drug dealers.
Zander Owens was her boyfriend.
The one that she informed on.
Now, did she testify against him? No, confidential witnesses testify.
Confidential informants don't.
- Their identity is protected.
- Well, you know what? You did a piss poor job on this one, Lockwood.
It's obvious that Haley was the informant.
She's the only one in the whole gang didn't go to prison.
Was she notified of Zander's release? BOP doesn't tell us when these people get out unless they make a specific threat.
Which Zander didn't.
You guys don't talk to each other? Not about classified information, no.
My SAC was the only one who knew that Haley was my informant.
Okay, Zander went away for drugs.
Why was his DNA in the system? Took part in a gang rape in prison.
Nice guy.
Excuse me.
Hello? Peggy Sue, where you been? No, that's okay.
Yeah, we'll meet at our regular place in an hour.
Peggy Sue? / That's what I used to call my baby sister Margaret.
It's the code name I gave to Haley.
Why is she resurfacing now? Zander's dead.
She doesn't know we ran his DNA.
She thinks she got away with it.
Shot of wheatgrass, please.
- Long time no see.
- Sorry.
I had a personal thing I had to take care of.
Involving a really bad barber? This was for a protest.
Against hair? Shampoo manufacturer.
They test on rabbits.
Hold them in a vise, pin their eyes open.
Squirt in their acidic shampoo.
It's sadistic.
It's unconscionable.
But it's not the reason you're bald.
What are you doing here? - You're under arrest, Haley.
- For what? For the murder of Zander Owens.
- Not so fast, Peggy Sue.
- I can explain.
Tell her I'm working with the FBI.
Prove it.
Why don't you tell us what you found out about EDG's next attack? You set me up.
Why didn't you come to me right away? What did Mitchell Hissam tell you EDG was planning? You think I'd still help you? People could be hurt.
What happened to your philosophy of non-violence? You must have gotten too close to EDG members.
Maybe they brainwashed you.
I was raped.
And I'm sorry about that, Haley.
I truly am.
But I can't help you if you don't talk to me.
You can't just take justice into your own hands.
Why didn't you let me handle it? I would have gotten Zander.
Or you know I would have.
I thought we were friends, Haley.
Why didn't you come to me? - I couldn't.
- Why? When Zander and the others were busted five years ago, there was a stash of drug money.
I took it.
How much? You know you're required to turn that over to the FBI.
While Zander was torturing me, I convinced him that I had kept the money safe for him, just needed a day to get it.
He said if I didn't, he'd hunt me down and kill me.
You should have told me about this a long time ago.
I would have protected you.
Like you protected me from being raped? Haley, where is the money now? Gone.
I donated it to charity.
What charity? Cancer research, animal rescue missions, disaster relief funds.
I thought it was better than the government war chest.
That's real sweet, Haley.
But I know you.
You took a life.
I know you wanna make amends.
How? Tell us what EDG has planned.
The recorder's back at my apartment.
We found it, it ran out right before Mitchell got to the details.
Come on, Haley.
Work with us.
Cells don't disclose their target ahead of time.
Mitchell only knew his pickup point.
And Persephone's.
He invited me along.
What is Persephone's involvement? She owns a greenhouse.
She has access to some kind of fertilizer they need.
And what did they want you to bring? Diesel fuel.
If I showed up, I could wear a wire.
And we could follow you to the target, young lady.
She's not going anywhere but arraignment.
Would you just hear me out? She committed murder, I'm not letting her out to play with the FBI.
No, we don't play with domestic terrorists, Ms.
Novak.
Casey, there's no other way to find out what they're gonna burn down.
Yeah, or blow up.
Do you know what you get when you mix fertilizer and diesel fuel? - Oklahoma city.
- She can just tell you the target.
I don't know the full deal.
Only the top guys do.
There's no way to tip off the authorities in advance.
If you're worried I'll run, don't.
I just want to help.
Hey, and I will personally deliver her back here to you when it's all over.
She has to wear an ankle bracelet.
I'll do you one better.
She'll have a cop with her.
Now, you're sure that nobody's ever met Persephone? Mitchell had only been dating her a few months.
He had to be positive he could trust her before he enrolled her.
This is her first event.
Bearded guy reading the newspaper? That's Russ, right on schedule.
Hi, Haley.
Russ, have you ever met Mitchell's girlfriend? No, but I've heard good things.
Good to meet you, Persephone.
Okay, this way.
Our boy Mitchell's not joining us tonight? Change of plans but, he made sure that I brought the right stuff.
Show me.
Okay.
³× - Oh, good.
- Good? - So what's the target? - I don't know yet.
- You ever hear of Andy Dell? - Who hasn't? He's like one of the founding members of EDG.
Out of Oregon, right? Yeah, well, he's already at the target.
So what line are we taking? None.
We need to collect two other people.
Cleaning staff just left.
You've got 15 minutes before the other guard comes back.
Okay, the CEO's office is in there and to the right.
I'll see you downstairs in ten.
Why is Russ going back downstairs? Andy Dell assembles the bombs.
We just hand these off to him and go.
He must already be in the office.
Go ahead and take the ones downstairs.
The ringleader's We got a problem.
Get up here quick.
Don't come in here.
Don't come in here.
Haley, tell me where Andy Dell is, okay? Downstairs.
He was the security guard who let us in.
Haley, let's talk about this.
Let's be smart about this, okay? I need you to calm down.
He infiltrated Gen-eng months ago.
Mitchell's the bomb expert, but it's real simple.
You can learn it off the internet.
Okay, I just need you to calm down now.
You should go back downstairs now.
You know we can't do that, Haley.
Star? Get out of here.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hey, Liv, what caliber gun do you use at NYPD? - .
38.
- Oh, mine's.
40.
But that gun there, that's a 9 mil.
Ah, mine's 10.
Just don't come any closer.
And you know what they say, size does matter.
Haley, put the gun down.
What are you doing? Making a statement.
You played me from the beginning.
This company produces hazardous food and tests on animals.
No one was supposed to get hurt, but things have changed.
Haley, listen to me.
Let's be smart about this.
Let's talk this through.
I know, I know that we can work this out, okay? I can't bear to see animals in cages! I won't die in one! What are you gonna do? You're gonna kill yourself? It's not worth it.
I don't wanna hurt either of you.
But I'm not letting you take me.
I'm not letting you set that bomb off, Haley.
You know I can't do that.
Come on, I know you understand.
- Haley, it's not worth it.
- Leave! Haley, come on, we can work something out.
I mean it! No! We could have stopped her.
You could have wounded her.
You didn't have to kill her.
You shoot to kill.
You don't second-guess a terrorist.
That's how innocent lives get lost.
Come on.
We're not done yet.
Let's go.
You're sure that Haley didn't tell anybody I was a cop? You were with her the whole time.
When would she have had the chance? If they knew, they would have run.
Come up.
Where's Haley? The feds killed her.
What about Andy Dell? He got away.
Andy always does.
Is there anyone else we haven't talked to? Well, I guess that just leaves you, miss.
Come on.
What's your name? I'm not telling you anything.
You think we haven't had our eye on you for a while, Persephone? Come on.
Thank you.
- Are you okay? - Get these things off me.
You were great.
You gather any intel on Andy? Andy's probably headed back to Oregon.
I've got Mitchell and Persephone.
Solitary lockdown.
No communication with other prisoners, no mail, no phone calls.
Why? Because we want you to make bail and jump as Persephone.
Star, I can't do that.
Andy thinks you're a bona fide member of EDG.
You have successfully infiltrated.
Do you know how impossible that is? Andy Dell has gone back to Oregon.
Yeah, I know.
Thank you very much, but I already have a job.
For Haley? I thought you got blown up.
Yeah, well, why put me out of my misery, you know? Welcome home, man.
Glad you're okay.
/ Thanks.
What's with Liv's desk? Little early for spring cleaning.
Where's Liv? Temporary reassignment.
- Where? - I can't say.
She still working with the feds on that eco-terror case? Can't say.
How long she gone for? Real estate is at a premium around here.
We need the desk for your new partner.
My temporary new partner.
Okay.
She wouldn't leave without saying anything.
That's something my partner would do, not yours.
- What is this, a joke? - What? We're sorry.
The number you have reached has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
Please check the number and try your call again.
We're sorry.
The number you have reached as been disconnected or is no longer in service.
These are their stories.
I'm sorry, but we have to take the urgent care cases first.
I wouldn't come to the ER if it wasn't an emergency.
We appreciate that, Mrs.
Weinman.
I've been waiting two hours.
It's gotten worse.
Look! Stop scratching.
- It itches! - Excuse me.
- And burns! - I just need a prescription.
Wait your turn.
Go kill another coat, lady.
Please tell me I get to go before her.
I understand you won't let any of our doctors examine you.
That's right.
I'm a social worker.
My name's Tanya Majeski.
What's yours? I just need the morning after pill.
You're bloody and you're covered with bruises.
Were you raped? No, I made a love connection.
Have you reported this to the police? No.
- Let me call special victims for you.
- That's okay.
You should let a doctor run a rape kit.
I should try a different ER.
You don't have to do that.
A doctor will give you emergency contraception and antibiotics for any possible STI's.
Hey, you okay? Yeah, never better.
- Can you tell me who attacked you? - Who are you? Detective Olivia Benson, special victims unit.
I told that social worker not to call you.
Listen to me, it's not too late to go back in there and do a rape kit.
I can't tell you how many women regret not doing one.
- I can't listen to another lecture.
- Okay.
My car is right here, will you at least let me drive you home? No, thanks.
Taxi! Here, I'm gonna give you my card.
Take my card if you change your mind.
I'll just throw it away and I don't like killing trees.
Will you tell me your real name then? How did you find me? I got the medallion number off your taxi.
I'm sorry, Haley.
Who told you my name? The building super.
What gives you the right? Listen, I don't want to cause you any more stress, I just had to make sure that you were okay.
It's none of your business.
A lot of battered women who don't press charges go back to abusive partners.
- You think my boyfriend did this? - Did he? Justin has never hurt a living creature in his life.
Well, where's Justin now? We don't live together.
I haven't told him yet.
Can you keep it down, please? It's 3 A.
M.
What's going on here? Sorry, Mr.
Delphy.
She's leaving now.
As soon as you answer a few more questions.
Shut those fucking dogs up! Haley, where were you attacked? I haven't changed my mind.
I just don't need you broadcasting my business.
It could be a serial rapist, Haley.
And their violence only escalates.
Now, I know you don't want what happened to you happening to other women.
I don't know who he is.
- Then describe him for me.
- I didn't see his face.
- What did you see? - Nothing.
- Walk me through what happened.
- Stop! - You haven't bathed yet.
- I fed the dogs first.
I was just running the water when you showed up.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Haley, Haley? Haley, please listen to me.
I just wanna soak in the tub.
You can still do a rape kit.
You can leave now.
Once the evidence is washed away, Haley, it's gone forever.
Haley? Lock the door on your way out.
Haley, I'm leaving you my card in case you change your mind.
I won't.
Office of the Medical Examiner Tuesday, September 5 Evidence for DNA testing is usually logged in at the desk.
Can you sign right there? And it's normally delivered by patrol.
Must be a VIP for you to be walking it in personally.
And I need a rush on it.
Just like everyone else in line.
This guy's a real sexual sadist.
There you go.
Thanks.
Hold on, I need to give you a receipt.
He beat her to a pulp, shaved her head.
Didn't use a safety razor, so I don't want her ending up here.
- I have a rape kit coming? - She refused it.
- Lucky we got the panties.
- Yeah.
Sign here.
You know, the French resistance used to shave the heads of female collaborators.
Really? Thanks.
I ever tell you about the year I spent in Paris? No.
- Nice outfit.
- Thanks.
You were wearing it yesterday.
Yeah, I caught a case last night.
I haven't been home since.
Haven't typed it up yet.
It was an unknown assailant.
He battered her, shaved her head.
You run the M.
O.
? Nothing.
But I found this photo archived on the internet.
Collaborators with shaven heads are paraded through the town by the French resistance.
Our rapist is getting his ideas from the History channel? These are women who cooperated with the enemy or slept with them.
- A jealous boyfriend? - Victim says no.
I checked the DIR's.
There's no domestic violence calls.
What does she do for a living? Super says she works at a food co-op.
Well, if she was collaborating, who's the enemy? Co-Operation Food CO-OP 74 Horatio Street Tuesday, September 5 Slaughterhouses, fast food chains, pesticide producers.
They're poisoning our bodies.
I can't imagine Haley was friendly with any of them.
Hardly.
All our produce is organic.
What's Haley's position here? She's in vitamins and homeopathics.
And of course she's a co-owner.
Really? She inherited? I don't think you understand how a co-op works.
All our employees are co-owners.
Same as our members.
So the profit margin's not very high.
It's not our primary objective.
We're more concerned with community.
Well, anybody in the community give Haley a hard time yesterday? Cindy, did you close with Haley last night? - No, she had to leave at 8:30.
- Why? - One of her groups had a meeting.
- Uh-huh, and what group was that? The one her boyfriend runs.
Ah, Justin, you know where I can find him? The broken spine bookstore on Houston.
He's the owner.
And what was the meeting about? A free exchange of ideas.
Still protected under the Bill of rights.
I'm just asking if Haley made it to the meeting.
What do you want next? A list of books individual customers are buying? You know, cops in Denver tried that.
The supreme court shot them down.
Justin, that's not what I'm here for.
You know, a few of our fundamental liberties are still intact.
Like the right to read whatever we choose without fear of government intrusion.
- What's Cause? - Who told you about that? It's right here on your table.
Community activists united saving earth.
Saving the earth from what? Abuses of human, animal, environmental rights.
Justin, I got to tell you, for such a bleeding heart, you don't seem too concerned about what happened to Haley.
What are you talking about? Your girlfriend was brutally attacked and raped last night.
So when's the last time you saw her? Uh, at the meeting.
We finished at around 11 o'clock.
You didn't take her home? No, I had to do inventory.
Did she leave with another member? Yeah, at the same time.
Who? I'm not giving you member's names.
Even if one of them raped your girlfriend? Nobody in the Cause would do that to anyone.
- Who you submit a DNA swab? - Never.
Why not? It's the ultimate invasion of privacy.
Apartment of Roy Delphy 329 Greenwich Avenue Tuesday, September 5 Do you know if Haley's boyfriend was here last night? No, I didn't hear them.
And he's hard to miss.
Always on his soapbox about something.
She have any visitors? Yeah.
You at 3 A.
M.
Anybody before that? No, I'd have heard.
The dogs bark like crazy.
Was I glad to see them go.
Go where? She gave them all away today.
Why? / She's always finding homes for mutts.
But this is the first time she's ever been dog free.
- Is Haley home now? - Without the dogs? Who knows? Don't move.
I wanna see hands.
It's okay.
Let's stay calm.
I'm not here to hurt you.
Ms.
Benson? Star? What's the FBI doing here? No, no, no.
You first.
What are you working on now, Dana? - I still go by Star undercover.
- You undercover now? No sign of foul play.
Well, he slashed up her furniture pretty good.
- He obviously had a knife.
- No blood spatter.
He tossed the place.
He was looking for something.
- Who are you calling? - CSU.
Don't bother, my ERT boys are on the way.
Feds have to process this scene.
This is no time for a pissing contest.
I got a rape victim in trouble.
Hey, if she gave the pups away, she went into hiding.
I figured she skeddadled before you got here.
- You have any idea who he is? - Nope, do you? Her boyfriend Justin won't give us his DNA, but he's a conspiracy nut.
Oh, no, he's not paranoid.
He is being watched by the government.
Why? The FBI considers eco-terrorism our number one domestic terror threat.
You're investigating Justin's group Cause.
He runs the local chapter, but they're all over the country.
I know, I looked him up.
But they're against people driving SUVs and wearing fur.
They're a harmless non-profit group.
We believe they are funneling money into radical environmental groups.
What does this have to do with Haley's rape? Cause is a fertile recruiting ground from something called earth defenders group, EDG.
Are you familiar with them? Let me show you.
August, 2003.
There is an arson spree against sport utility vehicles.
Now, the damage is totaled at $2.
5 million.
Now, New Jersey, 2005.
The homes of the employees of a pharmaceutical company were vandalized.
EDG is against animal testing.
Yep, and the company refused to stop.
- So was anyone hurt? - No, not yet.
But the targets continue to receive death threats.
Oh, and another thing EDG is against.
They got a great big problem with urban sprawl.
Now, this was a new construction out on Long Island.
They put up a sign that said, "if you build it, we will burn it.
" So you know for a fact that Haley's a member of EDG.
No one advertises their membership.
It's a decentralized group, with no official leadership.
And the smallest cells act autonomously.
So it is almost impossible to track them down.
So how'd you manage to infiltrate it? I didn't.
Haley did.
- Haley's FBI? - No, no, no, no, no.
No.
She's my confidential informant.
So they must have found out.
That's why they shaved her head.
Five years ago, Haley was a wild child.
dating some midlevel distributor.
The feds opened her up, took down most of the crew.
Including a Colombian supplier.
- And she's been an informant ever since? - No.
She worked off that beef long ago.
She went into rehab, cleaned herself up.
And then went the opposite direction.
Ended up sneaking into some research lab, releasing all kinds of fuzzy little creatures.
That's what you got her on? She smashed two electron microscopes and a centrifuge.
- She was facing serious time.
- Right.
So you blackmailed her.
These environmental radical groups, they are playing with fire and explosives and it's just a matter of time before someone gets killed.
- Was she wearing a wire last night? - Of course.
Star, they found out.
You got her raped.
If it was a member who raped her.
I need your membership list.
- I know that you have one.
- No.
No.
I been working this thing for over a year now.
You can't just traipse in there and jeopardize everything.
- This is a rape case.
- Of a federal informant.
Who, by the way, I happen to have become very, very fond of.
And I will hunt down the man who hurt her.
I've got his DNA.
Now, all anybody has to know is that we're investigating a rape.
That's it.
She's my girlfriend.
Why would I rape her? Maybe she betrayed you.
With another man.
Did you catch her having sexual relations with anybody? - You don't know Haley.
- No, that's true.
Long time no see.
What are you, busting my balls? I took one lousy sick day.
Blue flu.
/ That's right, don't tell the captain.
Hey, Finn, could you help us find an available interview room? I'll be there in a minute.
Melinda! Hey.
If you're gonna make it look like I'm part of a conspiracy with you, - at least let me in on it.
- What are you talking about? I came here to give you DNA results.
- There's a match in the system? - Yeah.
- What's his name? - I can't tell you.
- Why? - I advised her not to.
My lab's reputation is spotless.
Don't put it at risk again.
- Melinda, wait.
- Olivia, my office.
Your 61 on the Haley Kerns rape.
No victim's statement, TPO's blank.
We're still working it out.
Is this a cooperating complainant? She was too traumatized to say much.
But she gave you her panties.
- You stole them.
- I collected them.
You were kind enough to leave your card for Haley.
She called an hour ago to speak to your superior.
- Is she okay? - No.
She said you harassed her at the hospital.
Followed her home and forced yourself inside her apartment.
She had to lock herself in the bathroom to get away from you.
Her attacker obviously threatened her not to talk.
I got DNA that otherwise would have been lost.
There was a hit.
Why can't Warner give it to me? Because you broke the law to get it.
The panties weren't in plain view.
Haley said the bedroom door was closed.
I didn't tell her the DNA was already processed.
She said she would sue if it was.
Or if she or any of her friends were further harassed by you.
Somebody's forcing her to say that.
The feds put her in with some dangerous people.
Then why aren't the feds handling this? They are.
We've been working it jointly.
No, you're not.
Pull her out of there.
Her apartment was torn to shreds.
This girl is in danger.
She was supposed to report to me yesterday, but I haven't heard squat.
Well, I wish you luck tracking her down, but you'll have to do it without detective Benson.
Well, that just mucks up everything.
Can we at least finish questioning Justin? There a shortage of interview rooms over at the federal building? I can't take him there.
- Why not? - He thinks I'm SVU.
Cut him loose.
The fact that there's a DNA hit at all means the rapist is in the system.
Justin's isn't.
I checked.
Okay, I'll run back and I'll run my numbers of suspected EDG members.
And I'll let you know if I find anything.
Oh, that's great.
Don't recycle.
You know, you keep doing that and the eco-terrorists win.
I recycle sometimes.
- Is your captain around? - You just missed him.
Perfect.
How about our partner? No, they kicked her home.
She hadn't slept in three days.
Shoot.
I've got a suspected EDG member with a statutory conviction.
Mitchell Hissam.
He hooked up a couple years back with a girl at a landfill protest.
Turns out she was still in high school.
Stat rape and sexual sadism are two different monsters.
Yeah, but maybe this one is two-headed, considering that Mitchell is the one Haley left the meeting with.
Elliot.
/ Hey.
- How do you know that? - My ERT boys came through.
Found this hidden in her apartment.
That was a pointless meeting.
Come on, Mitchell, you know Justin's a pacifist.
I know he wouldn't approve of what we're doing Saturday.
Listen, about that What, you're not getting cold feet, are you? Ow, Mitchell, stop it.
You committed to me, Haley.
There's no backing out now.
You're hurting my arm.
Let go! And that's where the recording ends.
Any idea where we can find this guy? He's a nature boy.
He has a place about an hour outside the city.
And I have a warrant.
Cabin of Mitchell Missam Pawling, New York Thursday, September 7 - You pick a mean lock.
- Yeah.
Listen, we should be able to hear his car coming up the road, but let's keep the lights off just in case.
Where do you think Mitchell is? Probably at a midnight tree hug.
- Not too many places to hide a girl.
- Nope, but I bet there's a lot of other little goodies stashed around here.
- Oh, no.
- What? Tofu patties.
Garden burgers, hot dogs, veggie steak? At least he walks the walk.
The anarchist's cookbook.
Required reading for extremists of all Star.
- Is that dynamite? - Yeah.
- Do not drop it.
- I wasn't planning on it.
Put it back in the freezer.
Carefully but quickly.
Call the bomb squad.
No time.
It's crystallizing.
If the temperature goes up more than three degrees, it'll explode.
Let's go.
Ladies first.
That was some kind of adrenaline rush.
What kind of idiot would put dynamite in the freezer? I know it's just a couple sticks That was close.
Elliot? Elliot? Are you okay? Oh, god.
Okay.
Yeah, I need an ambulance, please.
Two, three! We have got to find Haley.
It's clear Mitchell's got something big planned.
- How long was he out? - Only two or three minutes.
Where else could he have stashed her? - Ma'am, he's got a concussion.
- I know that.
- You're a jinx.
- Who, me? Last year at the courthouse when I got shot, you were there.
You're bad luck.
No blood in his ear, it's probably not a skull fracture.
You hear that? You're gonna be fine.
Every time you show up I nearly get killed.
You're still above ground, hon.
Maybe I'm your good luck charm.
Ma'am, you need to come along as well.
You need stitches.
This is just a little scratch.
Can you fix me up real quick and can you point me in the direction of the local sheriff? Dutchess County Sheriff's Department Pawling, New York Thursday, September 7 Most of the cabins around here are owned by hunters.
Their idea of communing with nature isn't quite the same as Mitchell's.
Elliot told me to tell you you're nuts.
That's just the concussion talking.
Middle creek keeps flooding because of the beaver dams.
They set traps, Mitchell keeps springing them.
Has he hurt anyone, blown anything up? Paper ran an article about Will Tonkin's record kill last deer season.
Cabin burned down right after.
Do you think Mitchell did it? Think it.
Can't prove it.
You ever see Mitchell with this girl? No.
Pretty thing.
I don't know how he'd explain her to his girlfriend.
Mitchell's got a girlfriend? Persephone Free James.
Runs an organic greenhouse called Persephone Seeds just north of town.
Can't miss it.
I sell seeds over the internet.
Where's Mitchell, Persephone? I water them with this organic compost tea.
No herbicides.
No fungicides.
- They look real tasty.
- Well, try one.
Thank you.
Corporate agribusiness creates these hybrids that resist disease and bruising, but they are completely flavorless.
Persephone, have you seen this girl? No.
Did you know that they make square tomatoes now? Watermelons too, for easier transport and packaging.
- Well, that is just wrong.
- I know.
Now, your boyfriend tied up this girl.
He shaved her head and he raped her.
You don't have a problem with that? - Mitchell would never hurt anybody.
- Really? Then why does he have dynamite? Prison is gonna be real hard on you, girl.
They don't serve organic food there.
Why would I go to prison? For harboring a domestic terrorist.
Then what is gonna happen to all your little babies? They're all just gonna rot.
Now, if you don't want that to happen, I suggest you tell us where Mitchell is.
I'm supposed to meet him later today.
Good, where? Back in the city in front of Gen-eng foods.
Thanks.
Gen-eng Foods Corporate Headquarters Friday, September 8 Join the fight against bio-devastation! - Join the fight against bio-devastation! - Join the fight! Thank you, I will.
There's Haley's boyfriend.
They haven't done enough testing on genetically altered food to know the extent of the risks.
There's Mitchell Hissam.
We genetically alter food to grow in climates where it never grew before.
We feed the starving.
Liar! You line your own greedy pockets at the expense of people's health! We undergo stringent FDA testing.
Hey, if the ingredients aren't hazardous, then why don't you identify them on the label as genetically altered? Answer the lady's question! You first.
Mitchell Hissam, please come with us.
Why? I haven't done anything.
This is a peaceful demonstration.
Yeah? You leave your dynamite at home? He's innocent! You had no right to be in my home.
I got a warrant says I did.
- Where's Haley, Mitchell? - How should I know? I haven't seen her since The Cause meeting on Monday night? What? You spying on Cause meetings now? It's a well-respected, law-abiding organization.
Unlike EDG.
So what'd you and Haley talk about that night? Non-violent civil disobedience.
Oh, yeah? And where did that topic lead you? The corner of 14th and 8th.
I took a left, she went straight.
She said her apartment was only a block away.
So he knows where she lives.
Someone else took her the rest of the way, not me.
Who? I heard Haley's voice.
I turned around, she was arguing with some guy.
Well, you're supposed to be all about saving poor little defenseless creatures.
- How come you didn't go to her aid? - I was about to.
But they walked off arm in arm.
They got into an obscenely huge SUV.
I remember thinking, you hypocritical bitch! Okay, so could this alleged suspect have forced her into the vehicle? They both got into the driver's side.
Is he making this up? He really sounds convincing, but sociopaths always do.
You saw the DNA report.
Is he Haley's rapist? You advised me not to look.
I never did.
The FBI's been keeping an eye on your little group EDG for quite some time now, Mitchell.
What's to watch? From what I hear, EDG members are everywhere but nowhere.
Yeah, but they like to brag about their actions on the internet.
Post pictures.
Now this here, this is some poor millionaire bought up ten acres of pristine wilderness out on Long Island, tried to build himself a little home.
A three member EDG cell burned it down.
See that man in the middle, Mitchell? That could be you.
It could be anyone.
The incendiary device they used was an IED.
- What's that? - Improvised explosive device.
This particular one used dynamite.
Right, I hear that forensics experts can link two separate explosions to two separate sticks of dynamite from the same batch.
Domestic terror charge is gonna put you under 40 years to life, Mitchell.
It'd be in your best interest to tell us where Haley is.
I don't have a clue! - He's not very bright.
- Nope, obviously not.
Dumb dumb tried to put dynamite in a freezer.
You put a cop in the hospital, Mitchell.
Do you have any idea how bad it is for you, Mitchell? Do you? You can't keep raping the earth! This little campfire is nothing compared to what's coming! What's coming, Mitchell? What's coming? We're listening.
Don't worry.
You won't be able to miss it.
It's gonna light up the sky.
EDG has something big in the works.
That's gotta be enough to let us check the DNA now.
The threat of a terrorist attack and the rape are two separate crimes.
Unless they aren't.
What if he attacked her because she found out what EDG had planned? We don't even know for sure he is the one who raped her.
We would if we checked the DNA.
Pull in his girlfriend Persephone.
Lock her up tight for me.
All right.
I sure hope he told her what's going on.
'Cause he is never gonna give it up to us.
Haley is who we need to find.
She's the one who knows something.
Fun and games are over.
I need to know once and for all if Mitchell is the one that raped Haley.
/ Let's go.
He in his office? Left with Novak a while ago.
What do you mean? Where did they go? Just tell us if the hit off the DNA was from Mitchell Hissam.
I can't believe you're asking me that.
I know it's ethically questionable, but if it isn't him, she'll never know we looked.
No, I can't believe you're asking me that, 'cause I was about to call you.
I was called to a homicide this morning.
John Doe, single gunshot wound to the head.
I printed him, got a pop in the system.
Who is he? He was a convicted drug dealer named Zander Owens.
Got out of prison two weeks ago.
What's that got to do with us? DNA match you're asking about wasn't to a Mitchell Hissam.
It was to this guy.
Haley's rapist.
It doesn't make sense.
Why would Haley kill a drug dealer? Revenge.
That's why she wouldn't tell me who raped her.
Or let us run his DNA.
If we knew who he was, she couldn't go back and kill him.
Is there any chance that Zander is connected to Mitchell? Could he be a member of EDG? I didn't see any community activism on his rap sheet.
Then why did he shave her head? All we know about him is he was just released from a federal penitentiary.
For drugs.
Haley was an informant before.
The feds are the connection.
Federal Bureau of Investigation 26 Federal Plaza Friday, September 8 Haley's intel gave us Zander Owens with a pound of powder.
Got him a nickel in Lewisburg.
Hey.
/ Detective Benson.
This is special agent Lockwood.
Haley's former case agent.
Back when she was dating drug dealers.
Zander Owens was her boyfriend.
The one that she informed on.
Now, did she testify against him? No, confidential witnesses testify.
Confidential informants don't.
- Their identity is protected.
- Well, you know what? You did a piss poor job on this one, Lockwood.
It's obvious that Haley was the informant.
She's the only one in the whole gang didn't go to prison.
Was she notified of Zander's release? BOP doesn't tell us when these people get out unless they make a specific threat.
Which Zander didn't.
You guys don't talk to each other? Not about classified information, no.
My SAC was the only one who knew that Haley was my informant.
Okay, Zander went away for drugs.
Why was his DNA in the system? Took part in a gang rape in prison.
Nice guy.
Excuse me.
Hello? Peggy Sue, where you been? No, that's okay.
Yeah, we'll meet at our regular place in an hour.
Peggy Sue? / That's what I used to call my baby sister Margaret.
It's the code name I gave to Haley.
Why is she resurfacing now? Zander's dead.
She doesn't know we ran his DNA.
She thinks she got away with it.
Shot of wheatgrass, please.
- Long time no see.
- Sorry.
I had a personal thing I had to take care of.
Involving a really bad barber? This was for a protest.
Against hair? Shampoo manufacturer.
They test on rabbits.
Hold them in a vise, pin their eyes open.
Squirt in their acidic shampoo.
It's sadistic.
It's unconscionable.
But it's not the reason you're bald.
What are you doing here? - You're under arrest, Haley.
- For what? For the murder of Zander Owens.
- Not so fast, Peggy Sue.
- I can explain.
Tell her I'm working with the FBI.
Prove it.
Why don't you tell us what you found out about EDG's next attack? You set me up.
Why didn't you come to me right away? What did Mitchell Hissam tell you EDG was planning? You think I'd still help you? People could be hurt.
What happened to your philosophy of non-violence? You must have gotten too close to EDG members.
Maybe they brainwashed you.
I was raped.
And I'm sorry about that, Haley.
I truly am.
But I can't help you if you don't talk to me.
You can't just take justice into your own hands.
Why didn't you let me handle it? I would have gotten Zander.
Or you know I would have.
I thought we were friends, Haley.
Why didn't you come to me? - I couldn't.
- Why? When Zander and the others were busted five years ago, there was a stash of drug money.
I took it.
How much? You know you're required to turn that over to the FBI.
While Zander was torturing me, I convinced him that I had kept the money safe for him, just needed a day to get it.
He said if I didn't, he'd hunt me down and kill me.
You should have told me about this a long time ago.
I would have protected you.
Like you protected me from being raped? Haley, where is the money now? Gone.
I donated it to charity.
What charity? Cancer research, animal rescue missions, disaster relief funds.
I thought it was better than the government war chest.
That's real sweet, Haley.
But I know you.
You took a life.
I know you wanna make amends.
How? Tell us what EDG has planned.
The recorder's back at my apartment.
We found it, it ran out right before Mitchell got to the details.
Come on, Haley.
Work with us.
Cells don't disclose their target ahead of time.
Mitchell only knew his pickup point.
And Persephone's.
He invited me along.
What is Persephone's involvement? She owns a greenhouse.
She has access to some kind of fertilizer they need.
And what did they want you to bring? Diesel fuel.
If I showed up, I could wear a wire.
And we could follow you to the target, young lady.
She's not going anywhere but arraignment.
Would you just hear me out? She committed murder, I'm not letting her out to play with the FBI.
No, we don't play with domestic terrorists, Ms.
Novak.
Casey, there's no other way to find out what they're gonna burn down.
Yeah, or blow up.
Do you know what you get when you mix fertilizer and diesel fuel? - Oklahoma city.
- She can just tell you the target.
I don't know the full deal.
Only the top guys do.
There's no way to tip off the authorities in advance.
If you're worried I'll run, don't.
I just want to help.
Hey, and I will personally deliver her back here to you when it's all over.
She has to wear an ankle bracelet.
I'll do you one better.
She'll have a cop with her.
Now, you're sure that nobody's ever met Persephone? Mitchell had only been dating her a few months.
He had to be positive he could trust her before he enrolled her.
This is her first event.
Bearded guy reading the newspaper? That's Russ, right on schedule.
Hi, Haley.
Russ, have you ever met Mitchell's girlfriend? No, but I've heard good things.
Good to meet you, Persephone.
Okay, this way.
Our boy Mitchell's not joining us tonight? Change of plans but, he made sure that I brought the right stuff.
Show me.
Okay.
³× - Oh, good.
- Good? - So what's the target? - I don't know yet.
- You ever hear of Andy Dell? - Who hasn't? He's like one of the founding members of EDG.
Out of Oregon, right? Yeah, well, he's already at the target.
So what line are we taking? None.
We need to collect two other people.
Cleaning staff just left.
You've got 15 minutes before the other guard comes back.
Okay, the CEO's office is in there and to the right.
I'll see you downstairs in ten.
Why is Russ going back downstairs? Andy Dell assembles the bombs.
We just hand these off to him and go.
He must already be in the office.
Go ahead and take the ones downstairs.
The ringleader's We got a problem.
Get up here quick.
Don't come in here.
Don't come in here.
Haley, tell me where Andy Dell is, okay? Downstairs.
He was the security guard who let us in.
Haley, let's talk about this.
Let's be smart about this, okay? I need you to calm down.
He infiltrated Gen-eng months ago.
Mitchell's the bomb expert, but it's real simple.
You can learn it off the internet.
Okay, I just need you to calm down now.
You should go back downstairs now.
You know we can't do that, Haley.
Star? Get out of here.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hey, Liv, what caliber gun do you use at NYPD? - .
38.
- Oh, mine's.
40.
But that gun there, that's a 9 mil.
Ah, mine's 10.
Just don't come any closer.
And you know what they say, size does matter.
Haley, put the gun down.
What are you doing? Making a statement.
You played me from the beginning.
This company produces hazardous food and tests on animals.
No one was supposed to get hurt, but things have changed.
Haley, listen to me.
Let's be smart about this.
Let's talk this through.
I know, I know that we can work this out, okay? I can't bear to see animals in cages! I won't die in one! What are you gonna do? You're gonna kill yourself? It's not worth it.
I don't wanna hurt either of you.
But I'm not letting you take me.
I'm not letting you set that bomb off, Haley.
You know I can't do that.
Come on, I know you understand.
- Haley, it's not worth it.
- Leave! Haley, come on, we can work something out.
I mean it! No! We could have stopped her.
You could have wounded her.
You didn't have to kill her.
You shoot to kill.
You don't second-guess a terrorist.
That's how innocent lives get lost.
Come on.
We're not done yet.
Let's go.
You're sure that Haley didn't tell anybody I was a cop? You were with her the whole time.
When would she have had the chance? If they knew, they would have run.
Come up.
Where's Haley? The feds killed her.
What about Andy Dell? He got away.
Andy always does.
Is there anyone else we haven't talked to? Well, I guess that just leaves you, miss.
Come on.
What's your name? I'm not telling you anything.
You think we haven't had our eye on you for a while, Persephone? Come on.
Thank you.
- Are you okay? - Get these things off me.
You were great.
You gather any intel on Andy? Andy's probably headed back to Oregon.
I've got Mitchell and Persephone.
Solitary lockdown.
No communication with other prisoners, no mail, no phone calls.
Why? Because we want you to make bail and jump as Persephone.
Star, I can't do that.
Andy thinks you're a bona fide member of EDG.
You have successfully infiltrated.
Do you know how impossible that is? Andy Dell has gone back to Oregon.
Yeah, I know.
Thank you very much, but I already have a job.
For Haley? I thought you got blown up.
Yeah, well, why put me out of my misery, you know? Welcome home, man.
Glad you're okay.
/ Thanks.
What's with Liv's desk? Little early for spring cleaning.
Where's Liv? Temporary reassignment.
- Where? - I can't say.
She still working with the feds on that eco-terror case? Can't say.
How long she gone for? Real estate is at a premium around here.
We need the desk for your new partner.
My temporary new partner.
Okay.
She wouldn't leave without saying anything.
That's something my partner would do, not yours.
- What is this, a joke? - What? We're sorry.
