Law & Order Special Victims Unit s21e10 Episode Script
Must Be Held Accountable
1 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.
Do you mind? I'm a scout for Steve Getz.
Give us a go.
Show me that smile.
He really plays on teenage girls.
Hold on.
Steve Getz, the billionaire? We have to hit him from every angle.
Ivy's little sister.
How old are you, sweetheart? Almost 13.
Isn't that wonderful? There's an extra hundred there for you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Getz assaulted my daughter! Dad, wait, stop.
I'll testify.
Mr.
Getz, after reviewing the case file, I sentence you to time served.
You're free to go.
Two underage girls without parental permission? Really? I'm their mom.
I gave permission.
I should've handled this myself! Frank, you need to stop.
Thank you for seeing me after work.
It's been such a long day.
This Steve Getz case? We get completely blindsided.
[SIGHS.]
I've been following.
Yeah, so you've seen.
Can we start with your father this time? Yeah, he called.
He's getting married and he wants me to bring the girls to the wedding.
That's no big deal? Well, I shot it down, so [DOOR LATCH CLICKS.]
Who are you? [INTENSE MUSIC.]
Your gun you left it in the car.
You shouldn't do that, hear me? Okay.
Frank, what are you doing? My kids, I want them home safe.
- Okay.
- And I want Getz in jail.
This isn't the way.
- Sit down! - Okay.
Don't do this.
Way past that.
I want him in jail, do you hear me? Okay.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
Hey, Noah.
Just gettin' in the car.
I just want to tell you, the middle school's doing "The Nutcracker.
" They asked me to be the nephew.
Oh, honey! Congratulations, that's amazing.
I have a solo.
Wanna see? You know what? How 'bout you show me at home? Show me in person, okay? Okay.
Hurry.
Bye.
Okay.
Love you.
Hey, Rollins.
Everything all right? I'm okay.
We're all okay.
What's goin' on? Where are you? You don't need to know that.
Who's there with you? - It's Frank Bucci.
- Detective, take it easy.
No, no.
You listen to me.
Getz has got my girls, I've got one of yours.
Okay, I hear that, I hear that, but but, but just hold on for a second.
We can talk about this.
You don't get her back till Getz goes down.
Frank, Frank, let's talk about this.
I know you.
You get things done.
Do it.
Frank, do not hang up.
I'm not negotiating.
[DISCONNECTION CHIME.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Fin.
Captain.
I was just punching out.
No, you're not.
Bucci went rogue.
He's holding Rollins and he has a weapon.
What? Is she all right? Where are they? I don't know, so call TARU.
Have them start location process on their cars, cells.
She was headed home.
He might've followed her.
So alert ESU.
I'll meet them there now.
It's not gonna make a difference, Frank.
The last ping will still be in the vicinity.
I'm not worried.
I'm not worried.
Yeah? Pills, whiskey? If you're gonna hold people hostage, it usually helps to be lucid.
You think I'm here for my health? No, you're here for your daughters.
You care about them.
I can see that.
What is this? Good shrink, bad cop? It's not gonna work.
Well, this isn't gonna work, either.
There's no plan and you took a gamble, Frank.
You know how that pans out for you.
Hey, you think insulting the man that has a gun to your head is a smart move? No, she doesn't.
She's just anxious.
Frank, listen.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I'm just scared.
Good, then just do what I ask you to do.
Her cell is off and she doesn't have a landline.
We could knock, do a wellness check.
Vic, Bucci has a gun to her head.
She has two small daughters.
I'm not taking any chances.
Copy, we'll move forward, establish communication inside.
Captain.
Rollins' and Bucci's phones are disabled.
TARU said it'll take an hour to triangulate.
Okay, so what about GPS from their cars? We're on it.
We're checking license plate readers, Rollins' E-ZPass He's an ex-cop so he knows how to go under the radar.
Right, so run his house, uh, have his old squad pull his ten card, find out many guns he owns, what type.
- Got it.
- He went nuts when Getz walked.
It certainly seems like it.
But he likes Rollins, I don't think he'll hurt her.
Fin, men kill women that they like all the time, you know that.
- Yeah, I know, but - Sergeant, Captain.
Got some images.
- Is she inside? - It's unlikely.
Two sleeping children in the back bedroom and here, in the living room.
This is Rollins' new nanny.
Sienna, I think.
No one's in distress.
Let's move.
Okay.
Sienna, it's Olivia Benson, Amanda's captain.
Hey.
- Is everything okay? - We hope so.
Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Are the girls okay? I'm fine.
They're-they're sleeping.
Do you know where Amanda is? No, she came home after work and had an errand.
Said she'd be back at 7:30.
I'll call Carisi and see - if he knows where she went.
- Okay.
- Olivia? - Jesse.
Hey.
Where's Mama? It's okay, Jesse.
Mama's Mama's working.
Hmm? - You want Getz.
- Yeah, what do you think? This isn't the way.
We can we can still walk out of here and Frank, I-I swear, I will help you, I will help Now you're lying.
I've been a cop half my life.
I've been in hostage situations, shot, investigated.
Anything you try, I'm one step ahead, and I'm not afraid to go down for this, I'm not.
[DOORBELL CHIMES.]
Who is that? Who is that? I don't know.
Amanda's my last patient.
I have a-a doorbell app on my on my iPad.
It's on my desk.
[DOORBELL CHIMES.]
Mom, sorry.
I forgot my key.
This is your kid? Get rid of him before I do.
Dylan, I'm in the middle of a group session.
Go to your pop's in Brooklyn.
Wait, what? I forgot my key, just buzz me in.
I'll go in my room.
- Call Leo, I'm busy.
- Mom? I'm hanging up now, go.
What's this Pop? What's his name? I just said.
It's Leo.
Leo gonna ask any questions? No.
He's a drummer, he doesn't notice things.
It's why we got divorced.
You don't let him get to see his kid much? End game of a marriage takes its toll on everyone.
Yeah.
Unless you're married to a psycho.
What was my wife thinking, taking my girls on that boat with Getz, huh? - What was she thinking? - You're not thinking.
You were in a relationship where people don't think She's on that boat with Getz right now.
I should've killed that son of a bitch - in the court when I had - He's not worth it.
It is for me if it saves my girls.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
How about you in jail for kidnapping? What does that do for them? Your daughters need their father, Frank.
No idea where your detective is? We'll leave an officer inside and an unmarked on the block in case they show.
Local precinct broke into Bucci's house, nobody's home.
So Milly and Ivy are still on the boat? Hasn't returned to the dock.
Harbor patrol has eyes on it.
Is there anyone in Rollins' life that we should call? Right now she has her two daughters and she has us.
Hey, she's not here.
What about his house? She's not there, either.
Carisi, is there someplace that she mentioned that she goes at night? Someplace like Gamblers Anonymous, or or or a class? Only thing I can think about is last week, I had called about a DD5.
She said she was at a shooting range, had to call me back.
She told me that she was at the shooting range a few days ago.
Twice in two weeks? Rodman's Neck? I'll call.
Yeah.
Okay, did TARU get back to you on the location of Rollins' phone when she called me? - Not yet.
- It's a recording.
So, just go.
We're waiting on the GPS on their cars.
Bucci's ex-captain doesn't know where he is or How the hell does Bucci keep his gun after that meltdown in the hospital? Carisi, this guy is retired NYPD.
You know how difficult it is to file - a red flag petition on them.
- Yeah, I know.
But if he doesn't have his gun, than this whole thing plays out differently.
That son of a bitch Getz.
He gets his lawyer to offer a plea deal, the whole time he knows he's got Judge Ellery in his pocket.
Carisi, this is not on you.
I don't know how these guys are connected, but I'm gonna find out.
If Rollins gets shot over this, I'm gonna take all of them out.
Okay, Carisi.
Just take a breath, let's - [INHALES DEEPLY.]
- Let's breathe.
Shut up, shut up.
Let me think.
I'm not lying to you.
You know me.
Put the gun down.
Walk away.
It's too late.
I took a civilian hostage.
Did you? Or did you come here to get counseling? I threatened her captain.
I can honestly say that that you were under extreme stress and that we resolved the issue [STUTTERS.]
at the end of the session.
Frank, you're NYPD.
So you lost it when the man who raped your daughter walked away? God, nobody's gonna wanna come after you.
It doesn't solve my problems.
No one wants to go after Getz.
He laughed at me in court, and now he's got my daughters on a boat God knows doing what.
He needs to be stopped.
We'll get him.
Frank, we'll get him.
We'll keep investigating, you have my word.
No, you said that before.
This guy's got too much leverage.
This isn't the way to bring him down! You already said it, right? You know the drill.
My car's parked right out front.
They'll GPS it.
My phone you smashed it, but they'll, they'll track it.
You're right, okay? You're right, all right? I got a new plan.
Yeah, new plan.
Hey, did you get anything? The shooting range was a dead end.
They haven't seen Rollins in a year.
So wherever Rollins said she was going, that was just a cover story? Where is TARU with the cell phone, with the GPS? Her latest ping, they narrowed it down to West 80s west of Broadway.
Wait, West 80s? Uh, this is weird.
There's a 911 relay for Dr.
Alexis Hanover, an NYPD shrink.
Hanover? That's the one that we did the interview training with.
Her son just alerted her police supervisor, Leo Vanek, to a situation.
What kind of situation? I have no idea, but it's at her home office at West 83rd.
You think Rollins could've started seeing Hanover privately? If she did, she wouldn't have told any of us.
Okay, let's go.
[EQUIPMENT RATTLING.]
You try again? Straight to machine.
Hanover's cell keeps going to voicemail.
I found Bucci's car a block over and Rollins' Jeep down the street.
Her gun was in her glove compartment.
So she's unarmed? She can handle herself, Carisi.
We got a situation on the pole cam.
Let's move.
Dr.
Hanover.
Check the back, search every room.
I'll check the building.
[MUFFLED WHIMPERING.]
Are you okay? I'm okay.
Okay, okay.
Where's Rollins? She's gone He took her.
Can you tell my son that I'm okay? Already did.
He'll meet you at Mercy.
Okay.
Hey.
She give us anything? She said Bucci was highly agitated.
He's escalating.
He does not have a clear plan.
You didn't need a shrink to tell us that.
Well, he doesn't know where he's going, or how he's gonna get there.
- How was Rollins? - She's staying calm, you know.
Holding her own.
Maybe I shouldn't ask this, but she knows the guy.
I mean, is there any chance she's in on it or maybe lost perspective? No.
And yeah, you're right you shouldn't have asked.
Okay, Bucci smashed his phone.
Even if we do arrest Getz, how's he gonna know? He told Dr.
Hanover that he wanted to see it on the news.
So he's headed somewhere with a TV? That's his plan? Maybe his wife and his kids know where he would go.
Fin and Kat, go back to the pier and wait for Getz's party boat.
[SIGHS.]
Hey, I'm sorry for what I said about Rollins.
You'll be a great detective, you just gotta Think before I open my mouth? And before you go off the playbook.
I mean, you just gotta think more in general.
- Copy that, Sarge.
- Here they come.
You've been here this whole time? Give us some space.
- We're not here for you.
- This time.
Is there a problem? We need to talk to Donna Bucci.
Oh.
Donna, girls? You need to come with us.
Why? - Is this about Daddy? - Yes, it is.
Donna, call me if you need anything.
You missed a hell of a party, Kitty.
What's my husband done now? Frank took some woman cop hostage? Great.
[LAUGHING.]
He's out of control.
Mrs.
Bucci, do you have any idea where he may have gone? A vacation place, a buddy's house? He doesn't have friends.
He has chippies.
He'd tell me he was working overtime on a case and I'd get the E-ZPass bill.
He'd gone upstate for two days.
And where would he go? He'd tell me? What's he angry about, the girls having fun? We had a great time.
We saw the Statue of Liberty.
Okay, how did how did you end up on the boat? That nice woman, Granya, called me at rehab.
Said Ivy and Milly were invited to a party on Steve's yacht and they wanted me to be there as, like, a guardian.
He even sent a limo.
What do you know about Steve Getz? What Ivy tells me.
He's a cool guy Rich.
He pays her to model, and Frank's so blind with jealousy he's getting in the way of her career - like he did with mine.
- So, Mrs.
Bucci this is gonna come as a shock.
Steve Getz is a pedophile.
He's having sex with Ivy.
What? I don't believe it.
It's true.
She was gonna testify against him.
I'm her mom.
She'd have told me.
And it can't be true.
She was very sweet with him at the party.
- Mommy.
- Sorry, Captain.
The girl was crying.
Oh, come here, baby.
Mommy, I'm scared.
I'm taking you home.
You and Ivy.
Ivy, I know you feel powerless right now, like Steve is in control.
He is, just admit it.
Besides, nothing happened tonight, and he paid me and Milly anyway.
Okay.
So my mom and I can take Milly home? Where, to her rehab? Ivy, your dad is in serious trouble.
I told you, I don't know where he is.
Has he tried to contact you at all? Check if you want.
You're such a cop.
No matter what my dad does, Steve will never get caught.
He knows everybody.
Some girl on the yacht was bragging, she parties with that judge.
What judge? Judge Joe.
The one who practically called me a whore.
Meanwhile, he's the one who likes to get spanked.
I knew it.
- Do you know this girl's name? - No.
Okay, Chief, I'm gonna have to call you back.
Tess, maybe? Um, she was Russian.
What, Carisi? Judge Joe Ellery Getz owns him.
It's not the crime, it's the cover-up.
Okay, what does she look like? Reddish hair, pale.
Look, do I have to be here? I'm tired and I wanna go home.
[SCOFFS.]
Ellery's been going to Getz's parties.
He's having sex with underage girls.
No wonder he lets him off the hook.
- Well, it could give us leverage.
- If we can prove it.
When we searched Getz's mansion, we found a camera and an SD card with photos of his cronies partying with young girls.
Maybe we get lucky.
Look who turned up on Getz's camera.
The Honorable Judge Ellery.
Do we have an ID on the girl? Tessa Valenko.
We interviewed her earlier.
She's been having sex with Getz and according to Ivy, spanking sessions with the judge.
Now, full disclosure: she's not asserting rape, and she is 17.
Anything else connect Ellery to Getz? Ellery and Getz's lawyer, Abrams? Fraternity brothers at Yale.
We also have a security guard on the block who puts Ellery at Getz's parties on a regular basis.
All circumstantial.
We're talking about going after a sitting judge on the bench 30 years with an impeccable record.
Hadid's on board with this? I didn't think it was worth bringing to her attention at this point.
Copy that.
Still no leads on Rollins? No contact for six hours and Bucci moved her from the initial location.
We can't afford to wait.
Let's wake up Judge Ellery.
Bluff him.
No texts, emails, nothing in the system not until Detective Rollins is safe.
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
Thanks.
- All right.
- You you wanna? No, no.
Don't worry about me.
Go ahead.
Frank, I could use something to eat.
Yeah, so you can make a run for it? I'm-I'm just I'm hungry.
Aren't you hungry? We'll get breakfast later.
- Do you have any cash? - [SCOFFS.]
You're really not good at this, are you? - Hey.
- No, no, listen.
I didn't I didn't mean it.
I didn't mean it.
- Seriously? - Look, you did good.
You boosted our ride, that was great.
- Yeah.
- And you've gotta be careful, 'cause they're gonna be checking stolen vehicle reports, you know that.
I switched out the license plates when you were napping, so keep your mouth shut, get in the car.
Okay.
But I just I have a three-year-old at home that doesn't sleep through the night.
She wakes up and I'm not there Here's the thing about being a cop.
When you leave in the morning, they never know if you're coming home.
- You hear me, sweetheart? - Okay.
- They never know.
- I know, but okay.
But you don't care about my daughters, what about yours? Listen, what about Ivy and Milly? - Yeah.
- What do you think that Call your girls, call your girls.
Go ahead.
Make it quick.
- Make the call.
- Okay.
I'm not gonna screw your over.
- Go ahead.
- Okay.
Just do it.
Hey, Sienna.
Hi.
Yeah, it's me.
Everything everything's okay.
Um, is Jesse asleep? Yeah, she's right there? Okay, yeah Come on! Baby, hi.
It's Mama.
No, I'll be home soon.
Okay.
- Get down, get down, get down.
- Ow what? What, what? - Yeah.
- Frank, what? What'd I tell you? Frank okay, okay, okay.
I wasn't trying to screw you.
Screw me over? You tell me my kids need a dad? Don't you forget, your girls need a mom.
I'll shoot you right here if I have to.
Okay.
What about private security cameras? It's the Upper West Side, everybody's wired.
I checked all the footage we have.
Rollins and Bucci were caught on foot by a traffic cam at 83rd and Columbus at 9:35 heading west.
We lose 'em after that.
What about the subways? I checked subways, too.
No sign of 'em.
And there's no report of stolen vehicles and no hits on Bucci's or Rollins' credit cards.
[CELL PHONE BUZZING.]
Tutuola.
What? When? Okay, Sienna, is the officer still there with you? He's gonna need to take your phone.
Rollins called Jesse a few minutes ago.
No caller ID.
A burner cell.
They can trace that.
Okay, you call the captain.
I'll call TARU.
Okay.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
What the hell is going on? Sorry to wake you, but it's a matter of urgency.
We need a no-knock warrant.
At this hour? - What's this about? - Steve Getz.
Everything all right, Joe? Fine, dear.
Go back to bed.
Let's talk in the library.
That girl was 17.
What about the others, Your Honor? And we will find the others, trust me.
None of them were underage.
I'm not sure your wife will see that as redemptive.
We know that you and Getz's lawyer were at the same fraternity at Yale.
We also know that you've been going to parties at Getz's townhouse for years now.
I've done nothing illegal.
You should have recused yourself from the case, not put a hand on the wheel until it was assigned to you.
Cases are assigned randomly.
We've already spoke to the chief administrator who was on duty that day.
I will not be bullied, intimidated.
One of my detectives is being held at gunpoint by the victim's father.
The victim you called a whore in court.
So, this can go a few different ways, Judge Ellery.
Now you don't help us and that detective dies, what happens to your relationship with the NYPD after that? Your career, your marriage.
Not to mention you're gonna have blood on your hands.
- What do you want? - [SIGHS.]
Where are we going? - You don't need to know.
- [STUTTERS.]
Well, we need to get to a TV 'cause they could've arrested Getz already.
They haven't, I've been checking the news on the radio.
[GROANS.]
I just I wanna know what the plan is.
Jesus, you sound like my wife.
Like Donna, except Type A.
She's not exactly whatever you are perfectionist.
You really don't know me.
What I don't get about you is, why someone like you was seeing a shrink.
[SCOFFS.]
Made plenty of bad choices, Frank.
- Yeah? - Yeah, I mean, I [SIGHS.]
I got two kids by two different dads guys I slept with for no good reason.
My career? I've been a third grade detective for eight years.
What's holding you back? I am, I guess.
You're better at this than Dr.
Hanover.
[GROANS.]
Frank, come on.
Just just let me let me out of these cuffs, come on.
- I do that, you bolt.
- No, I'm not gonna do that.
- I'm not gonna do anything.
- You're trying to play me.
- I'm not.
- It's not gonna work.
I'm not gonna play you, I just - Yeah, come on.
- Come on, Frank.
My arms are killing me, I've got no circulation, - my nose itches, - All right, all right, - there's something in my eye.
- all right, I promise - Let me go.
- If you stop talking, I'll pull over.
Okay.
[SIGHS.]
Jesus, Joe.
It's 4:00 a.
m.
I couldn't sleep.
You have nothing to worry about, Joe.
Or do you? I went out on a limb for you, for Steve.
Joe, you're in no position to shake us down for more.
The NYPD searched Getz's townhouse.
What if they found photos, video? This could blow up my whole life.
Just relax, please.
Come on, they found one camera when they searched.
Party photos, that's it.
Nothing explicit.
The good stuff? Your hanky spanky? It's in my office.
Safe.
Lawyer-client privilege.
There you go.
Call Hadid for a warrant? No, Garland said to keep this off the grid.
You think Hadid is gonna tip off Getz? Not on purpose, but the people above her? - Better yet, deleted.
- Can't take that chance.
Nothing's gonna happen, Joe.
Tell Granya to delete my contacts.
Are you sure? Granya's about to fly in three girls from Paris this weekend, all under 15, for Steve's birthday.
You wanna be second up? Are you not listening to me? You need to calm down.
Have a drink, take a pill, watch some porn, whatever it takes to get some shut-eye.
I'm going back to bed.
Do me a favor.
Don't contact me again.
How long before Abrams tips off Getz? We gotta move fast.
So are we good? Almost.
Now we need a no-knock warrant for Abrams' office.
I can't sign off on that.
Then call a judge who can.
Now.
That's it.
Cell signal's still pinging from that car.
I only see a driver.
Where's Rollins? Maybe he's got her in the trunk.
[SIREN WHOOPS.]
Pull over, now.
[SIREN WAILING.]
[SIREN CHIRPS.]
NYPD! Hands on the wheel! What's going on? I wasn't even doing 60.
Pop the trunk.
Got it.
I got the phone.
Bucci must've dumped it.
You stop anywhere? I stopped at a diner about an hour ago.
They must've been there, too.
Where the hell are they now? Okay, so come back to the city.
Now, Fin.
There's no sign of Rollins.
What about the burner cell? Bucci threw it in another car.
- Sent us on a goose chase.
- May I help you? NYPD, we need to get into Paul Abrams' office.
It's in the penthouse.
Mr.
Abrams is never here this early.
Yeah? Well, we have a warrant.
Carisi, what does the warrant cover? Everything.
Okay, guys.
Sweep it all.
Check in the drawers.
I'm surprised CNN isn't here.
How you gonna make a statement, Chief, if there's no one here to broadcast it? Thought we'd give you the opportunity to get ahead of the narrative.
- Anything you want to say? - Right, yeah.
Garland FYI, I have a lot more friends at 1PP than you do, and for what it's worth, the sense from the old guard is you don't know your place.
That's why they're the old guard.
Right, are you gonna let me grab a robe? I don't see that.
Around 5:30 this morning, Bucci dumped his burner cell into the back seat of another car while he and Rollins were at this diner.
They get anything? A waitress recognized Bucci and Rollins.
Said they were there around 5:00 a.
m.
for less than a half hour.
She thinks they got into a late model dark gray sedan.
Btu nobody saw the plates? So they could be anywhere.
Troopers and local PDs are canvassing every gas station, motel, and rest stop in a 50-mile radius.
Forget about that.
Bucci is too smart for that.
We gotta be looking at trailers, parking lots, empty houses Relax, Carisi.
They know what they're doing and so does Rollins.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
Garland just arrested Abrams.
He's bringing him in.
Do we really think Abrams will turn on Getz? He's not gonna get a choice.
[MUTTERS.]
Ellery set me up.
Look at him.
Schmuck.
Judge Ellery has a conscience.
He's cooperating with the investigation.
You mean you threatened to tell his wife? Judges come on, they're all pussies.
Weak link in the criminal justice chain, right? I could pick out the C-minus students destined for the black robes in my law classes.
Oh, well let me just jump in here then, Professor, because we have you on wire admitting to sex trafficking of minors, blackmail, and bribery.
An overdose of Viagra couldn't get that to stand up in court.
Not to mention the treasure trove of child pornography we found in your office.
What do you want? Mr.
Abrams, you're one of the most notorious defense attorneys in New York.
Now, you have to know that what we have here, that means it's over for you.
Right, so your next line is [STUTTERS.]
"Let us help you," right? Oh wait, I like, uh, "Work with us, here.
" Well actually, I was thinking more like, "Deal or rot in jail.
" Nice try.
I'm not gonna give up Getz.
I believe in loyalty.
You see, this is why lawyers hire lawyers, Mr.
Abrams.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I want full immunity.
I can take that up with the DA.
And when you do, make sure he knows there's a lot more information I could provide information that's a little too sensitive even to keep in my office.
Save that for round two, which doesn't happen unless you give us Getz.
Yeah, you and Getz, you must've had some kind of contingency plan, an escape hatch? I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know what I'm talking about? Then we're done here.
Unless you call Getz right now, you tell him it's go time.
There's no deal.
Ever.
I don't like this.
Where's Abrams? He'll be here.
Or not.
Just get your ass on the plane, Granya.
- [SIREN WHOOPS.]
- Steve.
Hmm.
Just shut up, and smile.
Captain Benson.
You're like a dog chasing a car, aren't you? Steven Getz, you're under arrest.
Granya Marcil, you too.
What are the charges? Rape, sex trafficking, for starters.
I want my lawyer.
We've got him in custody.
I don't think you two will be spending much time together.
Get him out of here.
They know you're here at the front desk? I'm not perfect, okay? What I learned growing up, all dads cheat.
Hey, whatever you're trying to say, just stop.
Do you have to keep the gun on me? I took the cuffs off, okay? Just shush.
You know I could've run away any time.
I'm faster than you, and we both know you won't shoot me in the back.
You don't know me.
We don't even know each other.
All we have is that half an hour in a courthouse waiting room.
I hit on you.
You let me know I was punching above my weight.
Till all of this, you never thought about me once.
That's not true, Frank.
Come on.
Here comes the Southern charm.
- I'm being honest.
- Stop.
- I thought about you.
- Yeah? Yeah.
You wanna know what I thought? What? You're a nice guy.
You you say nobody listens to you.
[CHUCKLES.]
But you listen to me.
Thought you were a decent guy.
Funny you're worried about your kids, your case.
Just another gavone cop hitting on you.
I thought you were nice, which meant not the guy for me.
I can't handle nice.
Okay.
My dad treated my mom like crap growing up.
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
And she took it.
Like, she spent her entire life chasing dirtbags.
That's all she thought she was worth, and I hated her for it.
I'm just like her.
Now I got two little girls.
I'm terrified They're gonna grow up the same way feeling like they don't deserve to be happy.
This is breaking news.
[SHUSHES AGGRESSIVELY.]
Quiet! Where Steve Getz was just arrested as he attempted to flee the country.
SVU detectives from the NYPD assisted by the state police apprehended him and charged him with rape and sex trafficking of minors.
Now, he and his business associate, Granya Marcil Son of a bitch! [GROANS.]
They got Getz.
Yeah.
[STIRRING MUSIC.]
It's over.
So get the hell out of here.
Go ahead.
You know, whatever you were just saying, I don't know a word you said.
but I wasn't listening.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
What the hell are you doing? I wanna get out of here alive, Frank, and this is probably gonna be confusing, but I want you to get out too.
Why? 'Cause you did this for your daughters.
I would've done the same thing.
I don't want anybody taking you out, so you are gonna come with me.
Come on.
Nice and easy.
We meet again.
The circle of life.
Chief Garland, I am sorry about your detective.
- I had nothing to do - Spare me your faux concern.
Why are we here? My client has information we believe would be of interest to the DA and NYPD.
Well, we already got that offer from Abrams, so save it.
What I have trumps what he has.
I've always kept a little black book held in a safety deposit box.
Now, there's enough there to implicate a prominent ADA, a federal prosecutor, two former cabinet members, three governors, and a Middle Eastern prince, just for starters.
Implicates, how so? Well, the term "black book" is just a metaphor.
It's really a 2x4 metal box filled with photos, videos, all of it backed up on zip drives.
Your tech department can authenticate it.
Nothing's been photoshopped or digitally manipulated.
What do you want? Well I can tell you this much.
I'm not spending the rest of my life in prison.
That's not your choice, Mr.
Getz.
Your DA would likely feel differently.
What we have it puts him on the map.
I guarantee, if not your DA then the Southern District will want to talk deal.
They already took one from you.
You might want to, uh, get ahead of this one.
I wouldn't hold your breath.
[SCOFFS.]
What does he want? He's looking for a deal.
- Still nothing from Rollins? - Not yet.
This arrest has been all over the news.
I don't like this.
I need the captain.
Rollins! You get away from her! - Take him, now.
- It's okay, he's cuffed.
- He never hurt me.
- Take him.
All right, got him.
G-give me this.
Give me this.
Okay.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- Ivy, Milly? - They're safe.
They're with social services.
Nah, call my mom.
She'll come up from Florida.
We've already called her.
She's on her way.
- I'm taking him to holding.
- Easy, he's NYPD.
Like hell he is.
- You okay? - I [STUTTERS.]
I'm fine.
He never even touched me.
Okay, well, we'll still get you to the hospital? No, I'm tired and I need to see my girls.
- Okay.
- I'll drive.
I'll drive you.
[SIGHS.]
Sienna, I should be home in, uh Half hour.
Uh, less less than an hour, okay? Yeah, I can't wait to be home.
All right, tell the girls.
Thanks.
[EXHALES DEEPLY AND SNIFFLES.]
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Hey, Rollins? - No.
No.
- Okay, come here.
- [SOBS.]
I got you.
I got you.
[CRIES.]
Hi.
So the court agreed to give Detective Bucci a psych eval.
Hanover doesn't wanna press charges and Hadid will agree to a guilty plea to unlawful imprisonment.
That's one year.
He kidnaps one of our own and you're looking out for him? I'm looking out for Rollins.
She doesn't want to punish this guy, and I don't want to put her on the stand.
Is that okay with you, Officer? What about Getz? Is his black book getting him off? Eh, that's above my pay grade, but upstairs there's not much appetite for letting him off the hook.
You mean for finding out who else he can take down? That's another way of putting it.
Either way, he's done.
Granya will testify, Abrams will testify.
The accusers are coming out of the woodwork now.
He's gonna have to face them in court.
How's Amanda doing? Captain made her take a few days off.
She's she's good.
Good night.
"And all the baby lambs in the barn were fast asleep, safe from harm.
" Coming to you with breaking news that Steve Getz has been found dead I can't see this guy killing himself.
Me neither.
I mean, I don't even think that's him on the gurney.
I mean, seriously.
He fakes his own death, they swap him out with some homeless guy from the morgue and then he flies off to some island beyond extradition.
Nah, nah, no way.
All those tapes he had? Somebody had to take him out.
I just Getz just got away with everything his whole life.
Why quit now? A lot of people wanted him dead.
Either way, his number was up.
But what makes me so angry is that these girls will never see their day in court.
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.
Do you mind? I'm a scout for Steve Getz.
Give us a go.
Show me that smile.
He really plays on teenage girls.
Hold on.
Steve Getz, the billionaire? We have to hit him from every angle.
Ivy's little sister.
How old are you, sweetheart? Almost 13.
Isn't that wonderful? There's an extra hundred there for you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Getz assaulted my daughter! Dad, wait, stop.
I'll testify.
Mr.
Getz, after reviewing the case file, I sentence you to time served.
You're free to go.
Two underage girls without parental permission? Really? I'm their mom.
I gave permission.
I should've handled this myself! Frank, you need to stop.
Thank you for seeing me after work.
It's been such a long day.
This Steve Getz case? We get completely blindsided.
[SIGHS.]
I've been following.
Yeah, so you've seen.
Can we start with your father this time? Yeah, he called.
He's getting married and he wants me to bring the girls to the wedding.
That's no big deal? Well, I shot it down, so [DOOR LATCH CLICKS.]
Who are you? [INTENSE MUSIC.]
Your gun you left it in the car.
You shouldn't do that, hear me? Okay.
Frank, what are you doing? My kids, I want them home safe.
- Okay.
- And I want Getz in jail.
This isn't the way.
- Sit down! - Okay.
Don't do this.
Way past that.
I want him in jail, do you hear me? Okay.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
Hey, Noah.
Just gettin' in the car.
I just want to tell you, the middle school's doing "The Nutcracker.
" They asked me to be the nephew.
Oh, honey! Congratulations, that's amazing.
I have a solo.
Wanna see? You know what? How 'bout you show me at home? Show me in person, okay? Okay.
Hurry.
Bye.
Okay.
Love you.
Hey, Rollins.
Everything all right? I'm okay.
We're all okay.
What's goin' on? Where are you? You don't need to know that.
Who's there with you? - It's Frank Bucci.
- Detective, take it easy.
No, no.
You listen to me.
Getz has got my girls, I've got one of yours.
Okay, I hear that, I hear that, but but, but just hold on for a second.
We can talk about this.
You don't get her back till Getz goes down.
Frank, Frank, let's talk about this.
I know you.
You get things done.
Do it.
Frank, do not hang up.
I'm not negotiating.
[DISCONNECTION CHIME.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Fin.
Captain.
I was just punching out.
No, you're not.
Bucci went rogue.
He's holding Rollins and he has a weapon.
What? Is she all right? Where are they? I don't know, so call TARU.
Have them start location process on their cars, cells.
She was headed home.
He might've followed her.
So alert ESU.
I'll meet them there now.
It's not gonna make a difference, Frank.
The last ping will still be in the vicinity.
I'm not worried.
I'm not worried.
Yeah? Pills, whiskey? If you're gonna hold people hostage, it usually helps to be lucid.
You think I'm here for my health? No, you're here for your daughters.
You care about them.
I can see that.
What is this? Good shrink, bad cop? It's not gonna work.
Well, this isn't gonna work, either.
There's no plan and you took a gamble, Frank.
You know how that pans out for you.
Hey, you think insulting the man that has a gun to your head is a smart move? No, she doesn't.
She's just anxious.
Frank, listen.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I'm just scared.
Good, then just do what I ask you to do.
Her cell is off and she doesn't have a landline.
We could knock, do a wellness check.
Vic, Bucci has a gun to her head.
She has two small daughters.
I'm not taking any chances.
Copy, we'll move forward, establish communication inside.
Captain.
Rollins' and Bucci's phones are disabled.
TARU said it'll take an hour to triangulate.
Okay, so what about GPS from their cars? We're on it.
We're checking license plate readers, Rollins' E-ZPass He's an ex-cop so he knows how to go under the radar.
Right, so run his house, uh, have his old squad pull his ten card, find out many guns he owns, what type.
- Got it.
- He went nuts when Getz walked.
It certainly seems like it.
But he likes Rollins, I don't think he'll hurt her.
Fin, men kill women that they like all the time, you know that.
- Yeah, I know, but - Sergeant, Captain.
Got some images.
- Is she inside? - It's unlikely.
Two sleeping children in the back bedroom and here, in the living room.
This is Rollins' new nanny.
Sienna, I think.
No one's in distress.
Let's move.
Okay.
Sienna, it's Olivia Benson, Amanda's captain.
Hey.
- Is everything okay? - We hope so.
Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Are the girls okay? I'm fine.
They're-they're sleeping.
Do you know where Amanda is? No, she came home after work and had an errand.
Said she'd be back at 7:30.
I'll call Carisi and see - if he knows where she went.
- Okay.
- Olivia? - Jesse.
Hey.
Where's Mama? It's okay, Jesse.
Mama's Mama's working.
Hmm? - You want Getz.
- Yeah, what do you think? This isn't the way.
We can we can still walk out of here and Frank, I-I swear, I will help you, I will help Now you're lying.
I've been a cop half my life.
I've been in hostage situations, shot, investigated.
Anything you try, I'm one step ahead, and I'm not afraid to go down for this, I'm not.
[DOORBELL CHIMES.]
Who is that? Who is that? I don't know.
Amanda's my last patient.
I have a-a doorbell app on my on my iPad.
It's on my desk.
[DOORBELL CHIMES.]
Mom, sorry.
I forgot my key.
This is your kid? Get rid of him before I do.
Dylan, I'm in the middle of a group session.
Go to your pop's in Brooklyn.
Wait, what? I forgot my key, just buzz me in.
I'll go in my room.
- Call Leo, I'm busy.
- Mom? I'm hanging up now, go.
What's this Pop? What's his name? I just said.
It's Leo.
Leo gonna ask any questions? No.
He's a drummer, he doesn't notice things.
It's why we got divorced.
You don't let him get to see his kid much? End game of a marriage takes its toll on everyone.
Yeah.
Unless you're married to a psycho.
What was my wife thinking, taking my girls on that boat with Getz, huh? - What was she thinking? - You're not thinking.
You were in a relationship where people don't think She's on that boat with Getz right now.
I should've killed that son of a bitch - in the court when I had - He's not worth it.
It is for me if it saves my girls.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
How about you in jail for kidnapping? What does that do for them? Your daughters need their father, Frank.
No idea where your detective is? We'll leave an officer inside and an unmarked on the block in case they show.
Local precinct broke into Bucci's house, nobody's home.
So Milly and Ivy are still on the boat? Hasn't returned to the dock.
Harbor patrol has eyes on it.
Is there anyone in Rollins' life that we should call? Right now she has her two daughters and she has us.
Hey, she's not here.
What about his house? She's not there, either.
Carisi, is there someplace that she mentioned that she goes at night? Someplace like Gamblers Anonymous, or or or a class? Only thing I can think about is last week, I had called about a DD5.
She said she was at a shooting range, had to call me back.
She told me that she was at the shooting range a few days ago.
Twice in two weeks? Rodman's Neck? I'll call.
Yeah.
Okay, did TARU get back to you on the location of Rollins' phone when she called me? - Not yet.
- It's a recording.
So, just go.
We're waiting on the GPS on their cars.
Bucci's ex-captain doesn't know where he is or How the hell does Bucci keep his gun after that meltdown in the hospital? Carisi, this guy is retired NYPD.
You know how difficult it is to file - a red flag petition on them.
- Yeah, I know.
But if he doesn't have his gun, than this whole thing plays out differently.
That son of a bitch Getz.
He gets his lawyer to offer a plea deal, the whole time he knows he's got Judge Ellery in his pocket.
Carisi, this is not on you.
I don't know how these guys are connected, but I'm gonna find out.
If Rollins gets shot over this, I'm gonna take all of them out.
Okay, Carisi.
Just take a breath, let's - [INHALES DEEPLY.]
- Let's breathe.
Shut up, shut up.
Let me think.
I'm not lying to you.
You know me.
Put the gun down.
Walk away.
It's too late.
I took a civilian hostage.
Did you? Or did you come here to get counseling? I threatened her captain.
I can honestly say that that you were under extreme stress and that we resolved the issue [STUTTERS.]
at the end of the session.
Frank, you're NYPD.
So you lost it when the man who raped your daughter walked away? God, nobody's gonna wanna come after you.
It doesn't solve my problems.
No one wants to go after Getz.
He laughed at me in court, and now he's got my daughters on a boat God knows doing what.
He needs to be stopped.
We'll get him.
Frank, we'll get him.
We'll keep investigating, you have my word.
No, you said that before.
This guy's got too much leverage.
This isn't the way to bring him down! You already said it, right? You know the drill.
My car's parked right out front.
They'll GPS it.
My phone you smashed it, but they'll, they'll track it.
You're right, okay? You're right, all right? I got a new plan.
Yeah, new plan.
Hey, did you get anything? The shooting range was a dead end.
They haven't seen Rollins in a year.
So wherever Rollins said she was going, that was just a cover story? Where is TARU with the cell phone, with the GPS? Her latest ping, they narrowed it down to West 80s west of Broadway.
Wait, West 80s? Uh, this is weird.
There's a 911 relay for Dr.
Alexis Hanover, an NYPD shrink.
Hanover? That's the one that we did the interview training with.
Her son just alerted her police supervisor, Leo Vanek, to a situation.
What kind of situation? I have no idea, but it's at her home office at West 83rd.
You think Rollins could've started seeing Hanover privately? If she did, she wouldn't have told any of us.
Okay, let's go.
[EQUIPMENT RATTLING.]
You try again? Straight to machine.
Hanover's cell keeps going to voicemail.
I found Bucci's car a block over and Rollins' Jeep down the street.
Her gun was in her glove compartment.
So she's unarmed? She can handle herself, Carisi.
We got a situation on the pole cam.
Let's move.
Dr.
Hanover.
Check the back, search every room.
I'll check the building.
[MUFFLED WHIMPERING.]
Are you okay? I'm okay.
Okay, okay.
Where's Rollins? She's gone He took her.
Can you tell my son that I'm okay? Already did.
He'll meet you at Mercy.
Okay.
Hey.
She give us anything? She said Bucci was highly agitated.
He's escalating.
He does not have a clear plan.
You didn't need a shrink to tell us that.
Well, he doesn't know where he's going, or how he's gonna get there.
- How was Rollins? - She's staying calm, you know.
Holding her own.
Maybe I shouldn't ask this, but she knows the guy.
I mean, is there any chance she's in on it or maybe lost perspective? No.
And yeah, you're right you shouldn't have asked.
Okay, Bucci smashed his phone.
Even if we do arrest Getz, how's he gonna know? He told Dr.
Hanover that he wanted to see it on the news.
So he's headed somewhere with a TV? That's his plan? Maybe his wife and his kids know where he would go.
Fin and Kat, go back to the pier and wait for Getz's party boat.
[SIGHS.]
Hey, I'm sorry for what I said about Rollins.
You'll be a great detective, you just gotta Think before I open my mouth? And before you go off the playbook.
I mean, you just gotta think more in general.
- Copy that, Sarge.
- Here they come.
You've been here this whole time? Give us some space.
- We're not here for you.
- This time.
Is there a problem? We need to talk to Donna Bucci.
Oh.
Donna, girls? You need to come with us.
Why? - Is this about Daddy? - Yes, it is.
Donna, call me if you need anything.
You missed a hell of a party, Kitty.
What's my husband done now? Frank took some woman cop hostage? Great.
[LAUGHING.]
He's out of control.
Mrs.
Bucci, do you have any idea where he may have gone? A vacation place, a buddy's house? He doesn't have friends.
He has chippies.
He'd tell me he was working overtime on a case and I'd get the E-ZPass bill.
He'd gone upstate for two days.
And where would he go? He'd tell me? What's he angry about, the girls having fun? We had a great time.
We saw the Statue of Liberty.
Okay, how did how did you end up on the boat? That nice woman, Granya, called me at rehab.
Said Ivy and Milly were invited to a party on Steve's yacht and they wanted me to be there as, like, a guardian.
He even sent a limo.
What do you know about Steve Getz? What Ivy tells me.
He's a cool guy Rich.
He pays her to model, and Frank's so blind with jealousy he's getting in the way of her career - like he did with mine.
- So, Mrs.
Bucci this is gonna come as a shock.
Steve Getz is a pedophile.
He's having sex with Ivy.
What? I don't believe it.
It's true.
She was gonna testify against him.
I'm her mom.
She'd have told me.
And it can't be true.
She was very sweet with him at the party.
- Mommy.
- Sorry, Captain.
The girl was crying.
Oh, come here, baby.
Mommy, I'm scared.
I'm taking you home.
You and Ivy.
Ivy, I know you feel powerless right now, like Steve is in control.
He is, just admit it.
Besides, nothing happened tonight, and he paid me and Milly anyway.
Okay.
So my mom and I can take Milly home? Where, to her rehab? Ivy, your dad is in serious trouble.
I told you, I don't know where he is.
Has he tried to contact you at all? Check if you want.
You're such a cop.
No matter what my dad does, Steve will never get caught.
He knows everybody.
Some girl on the yacht was bragging, she parties with that judge.
What judge? Judge Joe.
The one who practically called me a whore.
Meanwhile, he's the one who likes to get spanked.
I knew it.
- Do you know this girl's name? - No.
Okay, Chief, I'm gonna have to call you back.
Tess, maybe? Um, she was Russian.
What, Carisi? Judge Joe Ellery Getz owns him.
It's not the crime, it's the cover-up.
Okay, what does she look like? Reddish hair, pale.
Look, do I have to be here? I'm tired and I wanna go home.
[SCOFFS.]
Ellery's been going to Getz's parties.
He's having sex with underage girls.
No wonder he lets him off the hook.
- Well, it could give us leverage.
- If we can prove it.
When we searched Getz's mansion, we found a camera and an SD card with photos of his cronies partying with young girls.
Maybe we get lucky.
Look who turned up on Getz's camera.
The Honorable Judge Ellery.
Do we have an ID on the girl? Tessa Valenko.
We interviewed her earlier.
She's been having sex with Getz and according to Ivy, spanking sessions with the judge.
Now, full disclosure: she's not asserting rape, and she is 17.
Anything else connect Ellery to Getz? Ellery and Getz's lawyer, Abrams? Fraternity brothers at Yale.
We also have a security guard on the block who puts Ellery at Getz's parties on a regular basis.
All circumstantial.
We're talking about going after a sitting judge on the bench 30 years with an impeccable record.
Hadid's on board with this? I didn't think it was worth bringing to her attention at this point.
Copy that.
Still no leads on Rollins? No contact for six hours and Bucci moved her from the initial location.
We can't afford to wait.
Let's wake up Judge Ellery.
Bluff him.
No texts, emails, nothing in the system not until Detective Rollins is safe.
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
Thanks.
- All right.
- You you wanna? No, no.
Don't worry about me.
Go ahead.
Frank, I could use something to eat.
Yeah, so you can make a run for it? I'm-I'm just I'm hungry.
Aren't you hungry? We'll get breakfast later.
- Do you have any cash? - [SCOFFS.]
You're really not good at this, are you? - Hey.
- No, no, listen.
I didn't I didn't mean it.
I didn't mean it.
- Seriously? - Look, you did good.
You boosted our ride, that was great.
- Yeah.
- And you've gotta be careful, 'cause they're gonna be checking stolen vehicle reports, you know that.
I switched out the license plates when you were napping, so keep your mouth shut, get in the car.
Okay.
But I just I have a three-year-old at home that doesn't sleep through the night.
She wakes up and I'm not there Here's the thing about being a cop.
When you leave in the morning, they never know if you're coming home.
- You hear me, sweetheart? - Okay.
- They never know.
- I know, but okay.
But you don't care about my daughters, what about yours? Listen, what about Ivy and Milly? - Yeah.
- What do you think that Call your girls, call your girls.
Go ahead.
Make it quick.
- Make the call.
- Okay.
I'm not gonna screw your over.
- Go ahead.
- Okay.
Just do it.
Hey, Sienna.
Hi.
Yeah, it's me.
Everything everything's okay.
Um, is Jesse asleep? Yeah, she's right there? Okay, yeah Come on! Baby, hi.
It's Mama.
No, I'll be home soon.
Okay.
- Get down, get down, get down.
- Ow what? What, what? - Yeah.
- Frank, what? What'd I tell you? Frank okay, okay, okay.
I wasn't trying to screw you.
Screw me over? You tell me my kids need a dad? Don't you forget, your girls need a mom.
I'll shoot you right here if I have to.
Okay.
What about private security cameras? It's the Upper West Side, everybody's wired.
I checked all the footage we have.
Rollins and Bucci were caught on foot by a traffic cam at 83rd and Columbus at 9:35 heading west.
We lose 'em after that.
What about the subways? I checked subways, too.
No sign of 'em.
And there's no report of stolen vehicles and no hits on Bucci's or Rollins' credit cards.
[CELL PHONE BUZZING.]
Tutuola.
What? When? Okay, Sienna, is the officer still there with you? He's gonna need to take your phone.
Rollins called Jesse a few minutes ago.
No caller ID.
A burner cell.
They can trace that.
Okay, you call the captain.
I'll call TARU.
Okay.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
What the hell is going on? Sorry to wake you, but it's a matter of urgency.
We need a no-knock warrant.
At this hour? - What's this about? - Steve Getz.
Everything all right, Joe? Fine, dear.
Go back to bed.
Let's talk in the library.
That girl was 17.
What about the others, Your Honor? And we will find the others, trust me.
None of them were underage.
I'm not sure your wife will see that as redemptive.
We know that you and Getz's lawyer were at the same fraternity at Yale.
We also know that you've been going to parties at Getz's townhouse for years now.
I've done nothing illegal.
You should have recused yourself from the case, not put a hand on the wheel until it was assigned to you.
Cases are assigned randomly.
We've already spoke to the chief administrator who was on duty that day.
I will not be bullied, intimidated.
One of my detectives is being held at gunpoint by the victim's father.
The victim you called a whore in court.
So, this can go a few different ways, Judge Ellery.
Now you don't help us and that detective dies, what happens to your relationship with the NYPD after that? Your career, your marriage.
Not to mention you're gonna have blood on your hands.
- What do you want? - [SIGHS.]
Where are we going? - You don't need to know.
- [STUTTERS.]
Well, we need to get to a TV 'cause they could've arrested Getz already.
They haven't, I've been checking the news on the radio.
[GROANS.]
I just I wanna know what the plan is.
Jesus, you sound like my wife.
Like Donna, except Type A.
She's not exactly whatever you are perfectionist.
You really don't know me.
What I don't get about you is, why someone like you was seeing a shrink.
[SCOFFS.]
Made plenty of bad choices, Frank.
- Yeah? - Yeah, I mean, I [SIGHS.]
I got two kids by two different dads guys I slept with for no good reason.
My career? I've been a third grade detective for eight years.
What's holding you back? I am, I guess.
You're better at this than Dr.
Hanover.
[GROANS.]
Frank, come on.
Just just let me let me out of these cuffs, come on.
- I do that, you bolt.
- No, I'm not gonna do that.
- I'm not gonna do anything.
- You're trying to play me.
- I'm not.
- It's not gonna work.
I'm not gonna play you, I just - Yeah, come on.
- Come on, Frank.
My arms are killing me, I've got no circulation, - my nose itches, - All right, all right, - there's something in my eye.
- all right, I promise - Let me go.
- If you stop talking, I'll pull over.
Okay.
[SIGHS.]
Jesus, Joe.
It's 4:00 a.
m.
I couldn't sleep.
You have nothing to worry about, Joe.
Or do you? I went out on a limb for you, for Steve.
Joe, you're in no position to shake us down for more.
The NYPD searched Getz's townhouse.
What if they found photos, video? This could blow up my whole life.
Just relax, please.
Come on, they found one camera when they searched.
Party photos, that's it.
Nothing explicit.
The good stuff? Your hanky spanky? It's in my office.
Safe.
Lawyer-client privilege.
There you go.
Call Hadid for a warrant? No, Garland said to keep this off the grid.
You think Hadid is gonna tip off Getz? Not on purpose, but the people above her? - Better yet, deleted.
- Can't take that chance.
Nothing's gonna happen, Joe.
Tell Granya to delete my contacts.
Are you sure? Granya's about to fly in three girls from Paris this weekend, all under 15, for Steve's birthday.
You wanna be second up? Are you not listening to me? You need to calm down.
Have a drink, take a pill, watch some porn, whatever it takes to get some shut-eye.
I'm going back to bed.
Do me a favor.
Don't contact me again.
How long before Abrams tips off Getz? We gotta move fast.
So are we good? Almost.
Now we need a no-knock warrant for Abrams' office.
I can't sign off on that.
Then call a judge who can.
Now.
That's it.
Cell signal's still pinging from that car.
I only see a driver.
Where's Rollins? Maybe he's got her in the trunk.
[SIREN WHOOPS.]
Pull over, now.
[SIREN WAILING.]
[SIREN CHIRPS.]
NYPD! Hands on the wheel! What's going on? I wasn't even doing 60.
Pop the trunk.
Got it.
I got the phone.
Bucci must've dumped it.
You stop anywhere? I stopped at a diner about an hour ago.
They must've been there, too.
Where the hell are they now? Okay, so come back to the city.
Now, Fin.
There's no sign of Rollins.
What about the burner cell? Bucci threw it in another car.
- Sent us on a goose chase.
- May I help you? NYPD, we need to get into Paul Abrams' office.
It's in the penthouse.
Mr.
Abrams is never here this early.
Yeah? Well, we have a warrant.
Carisi, what does the warrant cover? Everything.
Okay, guys.
Sweep it all.
Check in the drawers.
I'm surprised CNN isn't here.
How you gonna make a statement, Chief, if there's no one here to broadcast it? Thought we'd give you the opportunity to get ahead of the narrative.
- Anything you want to say? - Right, yeah.
Garland FYI, I have a lot more friends at 1PP than you do, and for what it's worth, the sense from the old guard is you don't know your place.
That's why they're the old guard.
Right, are you gonna let me grab a robe? I don't see that.
Around 5:30 this morning, Bucci dumped his burner cell into the back seat of another car while he and Rollins were at this diner.
They get anything? A waitress recognized Bucci and Rollins.
Said they were there around 5:00 a.
m.
for less than a half hour.
She thinks they got into a late model dark gray sedan.
Btu nobody saw the plates? So they could be anywhere.
Troopers and local PDs are canvassing every gas station, motel, and rest stop in a 50-mile radius.
Forget about that.
Bucci is too smart for that.
We gotta be looking at trailers, parking lots, empty houses Relax, Carisi.
They know what they're doing and so does Rollins.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
Garland just arrested Abrams.
He's bringing him in.
Do we really think Abrams will turn on Getz? He's not gonna get a choice.
[MUTTERS.]
Ellery set me up.
Look at him.
Schmuck.
Judge Ellery has a conscience.
He's cooperating with the investigation.
You mean you threatened to tell his wife? Judges come on, they're all pussies.
Weak link in the criminal justice chain, right? I could pick out the C-minus students destined for the black robes in my law classes.
Oh, well let me just jump in here then, Professor, because we have you on wire admitting to sex trafficking of minors, blackmail, and bribery.
An overdose of Viagra couldn't get that to stand up in court.
Not to mention the treasure trove of child pornography we found in your office.
What do you want? Mr.
Abrams, you're one of the most notorious defense attorneys in New York.
Now, you have to know that what we have here, that means it's over for you.
Right, so your next line is [STUTTERS.]
"Let us help you," right? Oh wait, I like, uh, "Work with us, here.
" Well actually, I was thinking more like, "Deal or rot in jail.
" Nice try.
I'm not gonna give up Getz.
I believe in loyalty.
You see, this is why lawyers hire lawyers, Mr.
Abrams.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I want full immunity.
I can take that up with the DA.
And when you do, make sure he knows there's a lot more information I could provide information that's a little too sensitive even to keep in my office.
Save that for round two, which doesn't happen unless you give us Getz.
Yeah, you and Getz, you must've had some kind of contingency plan, an escape hatch? I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know what I'm talking about? Then we're done here.
Unless you call Getz right now, you tell him it's go time.
There's no deal.
Ever.
I don't like this.
Where's Abrams? He'll be here.
Or not.
Just get your ass on the plane, Granya.
- [SIREN WHOOPS.]
- Steve.
Hmm.
Just shut up, and smile.
Captain Benson.
You're like a dog chasing a car, aren't you? Steven Getz, you're under arrest.
Granya Marcil, you too.
What are the charges? Rape, sex trafficking, for starters.
I want my lawyer.
We've got him in custody.
I don't think you two will be spending much time together.
Get him out of here.
They know you're here at the front desk? I'm not perfect, okay? What I learned growing up, all dads cheat.
Hey, whatever you're trying to say, just stop.
Do you have to keep the gun on me? I took the cuffs off, okay? Just shush.
You know I could've run away any time.
I'm faster than you, and we both know you won't shoot me in the back.
You don't know me.
We don't even know each other.
All we have is that half an hour in a courthouse waiting room.
I hit on you.
You let me know I was punching above my weight.
Till all of this, you never thought about me once.
That's not true, Frank.
Come on.
Here comes the Southern charm.
- I'm being honest.
- Stop.
- I thought about you.
- Yeah? Yeah.
You wanna know what I thought? What? You're a nice guy.
You you say nobody listens to you.
[CHUCKLES.]
But you listen to me.
Thought you were a decent guy.
Funny you're worried about your kids, your case.
Just another gavone cop hitting on you.
I thought you were nice, which meant not the guy for me.
I can't handle nice.
Okay.
My dad treated my mom like crap growing up.
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
And she took it.
Like, she spent her entire life chasing dirtbags.
That's all she thought she was worth, and I hated her for it.
I'm just like her.
Now I got two little girls.
I'm terrified They're gonna grow up the same way feeling like they don't deserve to be happy.
This is breaking news.
[SHUSHES AGGRESSIVELY.]
Quiet! Where Steve Getz was just arrested as he attempted to flee the country.
SVU detectives from the NYPD assisted by the state police apprehended him and charged him with rape and sex trafficking of minors.
Now, he and his business associate, Granya Marcil Son of a bitch! [GROANS.]
They got Getz.
Yeah.
[STIRRING MUSIC.]
It's over.
So get the hell out of here.
Go ahead.
You know, whatever you were just saying, I don't know a word you said.
but I wasn't listening.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
What the hell are you doing? I wanna get out of here alive, Frank, and this is probably gonna be confusing, but I want you to get out too.
Why? 'Cause you did this for your daughters.
I would've done the same thing.
I don't want anybody taking you out, so you are gonna come with me.
Come on.
Nice and easy.
We meet again.
The circle of life.
Chief Garland, I am sorry about your detective.
- I had nothing to do - Spare me your faux concern.
Why are we here? My client has information we believe would be of interest to the DA and NYPD.
Well, we already got that offer from Abrams, so save it.
What I have trumps what he has.
I've always kept a little black book held in a safety deposit box.
Now, there's enough there to implicate a prominent ADA, a federal prosecutor, two former cabinet members, three governors, and a Middle Eastern prince, just for starters.
Implicates, how so? Well, the term "black book" is just a metaphor.
It's really a 2x4 metal box filled with photos, videos, all of it backed up on zip drives.
Your tech department can authenticate it.
Nothing's been photoshopped or digitally manipulated.
What do you want? Well I can tell you this much.
I'm not spending the rest of my life in prison.
That's not your choice, Mr.
Getz.
Your DA would likely feel differently.
What we have it puts him on the map.
I guarantee, if not your DA then the Southern District will want to talk deal.
They already took one from you.
You might want to, uh, get ahead of this one.
I wouldn't hold your breath.
[SCOFFS.]
What does he want? He's looking for a deal.
- Still nothing from Rollins? - Not yet.
This arrest has been all over the news.
I don't like this.
I need the captain.
Rollins! You get away from her! - Take him, now.
- It's okay, he's cuffed.
- He never hurt me.
- Take him.
All right, got him.
G-give me this.
Give me this.
Okay.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- Ivy, Milly? - They're safe.
They're with social services.
Nah, call my mom.
She'll come up from Florida.
We've already called her.
She's on her way.
- I'm taking him to holding.
- Easy, he's NYPD.
Like hell he is.
- You okay? - I [STUTTERS.]
I'm fine.
He never even touched me.
Okay, well, we'll still get you to the hospital? No, I'm tired and I need to see my girls.
- Okay.
- I'll drive.
I'll drive you.
[SIGHS.]
Sienna, I should be home in, uh Half hour.
Uh, less less than an hour, okay? Yeah, I can't wait to be home.
All right, tell the girls.
Thanks.
[EXHALES DEEPLY AND SNIFFLES.]
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Hey, Rollins? - No.
No.
- Okay, come here.
- [SOBS.]
I got you.
I got you.
[CRIES.]
Hi.
So the court agreed to give Detective Bucci a psych eval.
Hanover doesn't wanna press charges and Hadid will agree to a guilty plea to unlawful imprisonment.
That's one year.
He kidnaps one of our own and you're looking out for him? I'm looking out for Rollins.
She doesn't want to punish this guy, and I don't want to put her on the stand.
Is that okay with you, Officer? What about Getz? Is his black book getting him off? Eh, that's above my pay grade, but upstairs there's not much appetite for letting him off the hook.
You mean for finding out who else he can take down? That's another way of putting it.
Either way, he's done.
Granya will testify, Abrams will testify.
The accusers are coming out of the woodwork now.
He's gonna have to face them in court.
How's Amanda doing? Captain made her take a few days off.
She's she's good.
Good night.
"And all the baby lambs in the barn were fast asleep, safe from harm.
" Coming to you with breaking news that Steve Getz has been found dead I can't see this guy killing himself.
Me neither.
I mean, I don't even think that's him on the gurney.
I mean, seriously.
He fakes his own death, they swap him out with some homeless guy from the morgue and then he flies off to some island beyond extradition.
Nah, nah, no way.
All those tapes he had? Somebody had to take him out.
I just Getz just got away with everything his whole life.
Why quit now? A lot of people wanted him dead.
Either way, his number was up.
But what makes me so angry is that these girls will never see their day in court.
