Law & Order Special Victims Unit s11e23 Episode Script
Wannabe
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 raped 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 rape 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 rape kit.
It's a utility pack.
Scum'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 rapist.
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 rape 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 rape 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 rapist 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 raped.
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 rapist 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 piss 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 rapist 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.
Bitch 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 rapist.
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 rape 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 asses 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 rapist 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 rapist, all right? I saved that girl.
This is the thanks he gets? That rapist 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 bastard.
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 rape 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 rape 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 bastard 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 rape 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 rape 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 rape.
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 ass 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 masturbating.
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 rape 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 pornography here, Mr.
Hankett.
No law against that.
Yeah.
Unless anyone's underage.
Or being raped.
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 bastard 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's hit it.
You were in there quite a while, Wayne.
Did you get the job done, or do you have to do a rape? 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 hard on 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 rape.
Yes, he did.
How? How, Wayne? Did he hold a gun to your head and make you rape 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 rape 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 whores 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 rapist.
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!
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 raped 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 rape 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 rape kit.
It's a utility pack.
Scum'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 rapist.
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 rape 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 rape 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 rapist 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 raped.
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 rapist 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 piss 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 rapist 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.
Bitch 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 rapist.
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 rape 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 asses 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 rapist 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 rapist, all right? I saved that girl.
This is the thanks he gets? That rapist 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.

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 bastard.
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 rape 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 rape 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 bastard 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 rape 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 rape 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 rape.
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 ass 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 masturbating.
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 rape 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 pornography here, Mr.
Hankett.
No law against that.
Yeah.
Unless anyone's underage.
Or being raped.
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 bastard 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's hit it.
You were in there quite a while, Wayne.
Did you get the job done, or do you have to do a rape? 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 hard on 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 rape.
Yes, he did.
How? How, Wayne? Did he hold a gun to your head and make you rape 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 rape 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 whores 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 rapist.
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!
