system,

sexually based offenses
3
00:00:07,790 --> 00:00:09,531
are considered
especially heinous.
4
00:00:09,574 --> 00:00:11,620
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives
5
00:00:11,663 --> 00:00:14,144
who investigate
these vicious felonies
6
00:00:14,188 --> 00:00:15,537
are members of an elite squad
7
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:17,495
known as
the Special Victims Unit.
8
00:00:17,539 --> 00:00:19,367
These are their stories.
9
00:00:20,716 --> 00:00:25,242
- Detective Velasco,
just take any empty desk.
10
00:00:25,286 --> 00:00:27,679
- I just want to say, again,
what an honor it is
11
00:00:27,723 --> 00:00:30,595
to be here, Captain Benson.
12
00:00:32,467 --> 00:00:34,773
- Not that desk.
- Fin--
13
00:00:34,817 --> 00:00:36,471
We're glad that you're here.
14
00:00:36,514 --> 00:00:38,386
Trust me,
we could use the help.
15
00:00:38,429 --> 00:00:41,084
And Sergeant Tutuola
and Detective Rollins will
16
00:00:41,128 --> 00:00:42,303
help you get settled in.
17
00:00:42,346 --> 00:00:43,826
- Coffee here is bad.
18
00:00:43,869 --> 00:00:45,306
Nominally better
in the break room.
19
00:00:45,349 --> 00:00:46,698
- I'm good with bad.
- Great.
20
00:00:46,742 --> 00:00:48,613
So I will be back
in a couple hours.
21
00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:55,185
- What did I do?
- Don't take it personally.
22
00:00:55,229 --> 00:00:56,839
That was Kat Tamin's old desk.
23
00:00:56,882 --> 00:00:59,842
- On second thought, how about
I grab something from outside?
24
00:00:59,885 --> 00:01:01,365
- Good choice.
25
00:01:01,409 --> 00:01:04,194
- So Chief McGrath planted
a spy in our squad room?
26
00:01:04,238 --> 00:01:06,805
- Fin, we're short-staffed.
Please play nice.
27
00:01:06,849 --> 00:01:07,893
I did research.
28
00:01:07,937 --> 00:01:09,721
The rumor is
that the guy's good.
29
00:01:09,765 --> 00:01:12,637
- Yeah, rumor is,
he started that rumor.
30
00:01:12,681 --> 00:01:14,552
When are you gonna get
back from PT?
31
00:01:14,596 --> 00:01:17,773
- I wish it was PT.
Be less painful.
32
00:01:17,816 --> 00:01:20,515
McGrath called a meeting.
- About what?
33
00:01:20,558 --> 00:01:23,126
- About McGrath making sure
that when he calls,
34
00:01:23,170 --> 00:01:24,301
I show up.
35
00:01:27,826 --> 00:01:30,394
- Can I get a swirl
with sprinkles please?
36
00:01:30,438 --> 00:01:31,874
- Yep.
- Hey, mami.
37
00:01:31,917 --> 00:01:33,702
You got a nice swerve on you.
38
00:01:33,745 --> 00:01:35,138

Come on.
39
00:01:35,182 --> 00:01:37,706
- Have some respect.
My fricking kid is right here.

Here we go, little man.

Chocolate and vanilla swirl

Light, extra sweet.
- Thanks.
51

You want to get

- He likes jelly.

pled to seven years.

Avoids putting the girl

woman's claiming rape.

Her apartment, 2:00 AM.

00:08:46,003 --> 00:08:48,789
- Most?
176
00:08:48,832 --> 00:08:50,138
- At night, I went to a party.
177
00:08:50,181 --> 00:08:52,053
All last year,
I didn't go out much.
178
00:08:52,096 --> 00:08:53,663
I just wanted to have
a good time.
179
00:08:53,707 --> 00:08:55,622
And I was home by midnight
for the sitter.
180
00:08:55,665 --> 00:08:57,580
- I'm a single mom, Crystal.
I get it.
181
00:08:59,582 --> 00:09:01,628
Anything happen at the party?
182
00:09:01,671 --> 00:09:03,847
- I had a few drinks,
no more than two.
183
00:09:03,891 --> 00:09:06,154
I danced.
- With somebody in particular?
184
00:09:08,025 --> 00:09:09,853
- No.

186
00:09:11,638 --> 00:09:13,074
- Okay, and when you left,
187
00:09:13,117 --> 00:09:15,816
did you notice
anyone following you?
188
00:09:15,859 --> 00:09:17,818
- No, I didn't see anyone.
189
00:09:19,036 --> 00:09:20,255
- Okay.
190
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,694
- A couple of neighborhood guys
were harassing me earlier
191
00:09:24,738 --> 00:09:26,914
while I was buying Manny
an ice cream.
192
00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:31,701
- So they saw you
with your son.
193
00:09:31,745 --> 00:09:33,137
- Oh, my God.
194
00:09:33,181 --> 00:09:35,226
What if whoever did this
comes back,
195
00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:36,358
and they try to hurt Manny?
196
00:09:36,401 --> 00:09:37,838
- We're gonna do everything
we can do
197
00:09:37,881 --> 00:09:40,057
to make sure that
that doesn't happen.
198
00:09:40,101 --> 00:09:41,755
Okay?
199
00:09:41,798 --> 00:09:44,366
Do you have a place
to go tonight?
200
00:09:44,409 --> 00:09:46,673
A friend's house
or maybe Manny's father?
201
00:09:46,716 --> 00:09:49,937
- No,
I'm definitely not going there.
202
00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:52,983
I just want to go home.

- Letter from
a lawyer's office.

00:10:02,906 --> 00:10:04,038
Looks like she's in
a custody battle.

not the vic.

- Copy that.
209
00:10:07,694 --> 00:10:10,348
- Bag any clothes on the floor.
210
00:10:10,392 --> 00:10:13,917
- She told me she was wearing
a nightgown.
211
00:10:13,961 --> 00:10:16,398
- What's going on?
He's cutting the mattress.

214
00:10:20,358 --> 00:10:21,795
CSU found this under the bed.

Sex toys and a pipe.

None of this matters.

Pushed in with force,
damaged the wall.

Any chance he left a partial?

We're waiting to hear
from the lab.

the perp knowing her name.

that she let the guy in?

I mean, I know that it was
a Con Ed ruse,

so you obviously followed up
on that.

and no security cams
in the building.

00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:15,326
For what it's worth, she's in
a custody battle with her ex,

Eduardo Sosa.
241
00:11:16,719 --> 00:11:18,112
In 2019, they were
both arrested
242
00:11:18,155 --> 00:11:20,288
for a public argument.
Neither pressed charges.
243
00:11:20,331 --> 00:11:21,724
- Does the ex have an alibi?
244
00:11:21,768 --> 00:11:23,726
- Yeah, he was home that night
with his girlfriend.
245
00:11:23,770 --> 00:11:24,945
He picked up the kid.

00:11:24,988 --> 00:11:26,294

in the backstory.

- Here's something.
Lab got a hit off a print.
248
00:11:28,818 --> 00:11:29,950
- From the doorjamb?
249
00:11:29,993 --> 00:11:31,560
- CSU found multiples
at the scene,
250
00:11:31,603 --> 00:11:33,388
but none were in the system
except for a Travis Hillsdale.
251
00:11:33,431 --> 00:11:35,346
- Who is?
- Hold on.
252
00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:37,740
- Travis Hillsdale, busted
last year for dealing marijuana
253
00:11:37,784 --> 00:11:41,048
out of his Swirly City
ice cream truck.
254

by some guys in the park
255
00:11:43,790 --> 00:11:44,965
when she was buying Manny
ice cream.
256
00:11:45,008 --> 00:11:46,401
- Okay, but it doesn't explain
257
00:11:46,444 --> 00:11:48,229
why the ice cream guy's
in her apartment.
258
00:11:48,272 --> 00:11:50,753
- So an ice cream truck
shouldn't be that hard to find.
259
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:54,888
- Enjoy.
Have a good day.
260
00:11:56,759 --> 00:11:58,152
- Travis Hillsdale?
261
00:11:58,195 --> 00:12:00,415
- Yeah, afternoon, officers.
How can I help?
262
00:12:00,458 --> 00:12:02,504
- Uh, we're investigating
an attack.
263
00:12:02,547 --> 00:12:04,288
The vic said she may have been
harassed at the park
264
00:12:04,332 --> 00:12:06,290
at Pitt Street the other day,
265
00:12:06,334 --> 00:12:07,335
buying ice cream.
266
00:12:07,378 --> 00:12:08,945
- We're hoping you saw
something.
267
00:12:08,989 --> 00:12:12,775
- I'll be right out.
268
00:12:12,819 --> 00:12:14,821
Hey, uh, how can I help?
269
00:12:14,864 --> 00:12:16,257
- You recognize her?
270
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:17,780
- Uh, actually, yeah,
that's Crystal.
271
00:12:17,824 --> 00:12:18,825
She's a regular.
272
00:12:18,868 --> 00:12:20,000
Her kid likes
rainbow sprinkles.
273
00:12:20,043 --> 00:12:21,915
- Did she get her kid
a cone on Friday?
274
00:12:21,958 --> 00:12:23,394
- You know what, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
275
00:12:23,438 --> 00:12:25,309
- You notice any guys
bothering her?
276
00:12:25,353 --> 00:12:28,008
- Was it those idiots?
What'd they do?
277
00:12:28,051 --> 00:12:29,096
- You know them?
278
00:12:29,139 --> 00:12:30,314
- Okay, they hang out,
279
00:12:30,358 --> 00:12:33,013
harass these moms
in front of their kids.
280
00:12:33,056 --> 00:12:35,145
Every day, I have to tell them
to leave my customers alone.
281
00:12:35,189 --> 00:12:36,190
- I got one more question.
282
00:12:36,233 --> 00:12:38,366
You ever been over
to her apartment?
283
00:12:38,409 --> 00:12:40,237
- Oh, she say that?
I mean, 'cause,
284
00:12:40,281 --> 00:12:42,762
actually, yeah, I was there,
but I didn't see her.
285
00:12:42,805 --> 00:12:44,241
Just, you know,
Manny dropped his sippy cup.
286
00:12:44,285 --> 00:12:45,416
And I returned it.
287
00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:46,853
- How'd you know
where she lived?
288
00:12:46,896 --> 00:12:48,245
- Yeah, one of the other moms.
289
00:12:48,289 --> 00:12:50,204
Brought the cup back,
gave it to Manny's sitter.
290
00:12:50,247 --> 00:12:51,771
- Travis,
you seem like a nice guy.
291
00:12:51,814 --> 00:12:54,469
And we're trying to get whoever
did this off the street.
292
00:12:54,512 --> 00:12:56,253
We have a suspect down
at that station.
293
00:12:56,297 --> 00:12:58,908
Would you mind coming down,
helping us with an ID?
294
00:13:02,390 --> 00:13:04,871
- Take your time, Crystal.
295
00:13:04,914 --> 00:13:07,090
- I kind of recognize number 2.
296
00:13:08,875 --> 00:13:11,051
- As the man who raped you?
297
00:13:11,094 --> 00:13:12,530
- From somewhere else,
I'm sorry.
298
00:13:12,574 --> 00:13:14,228
I don't think it's him.
I don't think it's any of--
299
00:13:14,271 --> 00:13:15,838
I-- it was dark--
300
00:13:15,882 --> 00:13:17,971
- It's okay, it's okay,
Crystal.
301
00:13:18,014 --> 00:13:21,322
- Let's find a seat.
- Thank you.
302
00:13:23,150 --> 00:13:24,368
- No luck?
303
00:13:24,412 --> 00:13:26,196
- Well,
she did recognize Travis.
304
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,198
- But maybe because she's a
regular at his ice cream truck.
305
00:13:28,242 --> 00:13:29,852
- Then why didn't she say that?
- Who knows?
306
00:13:29,896 --> 00:13:31,158
He keeps his mask on at work.
307
00:13:31,201 --> 00:13:32,986
He did volunteer to help us
with the lineup.
308
00:13:33,029 --> 00:13:34,074
- What about prints?
309
00:13:34,117 --> 00:13:35,249
- We confirmed with the sitter.
310
00:13:35,292 --> 00:13:37,077
He returned the sippy cup
last week.
311
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,818
- All right, so he's either
a good Samaritan,
312
00:13:38,861 --> 00:13:41,081
or he's casing her apartment.
313
00:13:41,124 --> 00:13:42,909
- Either way,
Crystal did not ID him,
314
00:13:42,952 --> 00:13:44,301
and the fingerprint isn't
probative.
315
00:13:44,345 --> 00:13:46,869
Now if we find any unknown DNA
on that bed,
316
00:13:46,913 --> 00:13:47,957
maybe we can test him?
317
00:13:48,001 --> 00:13:50,481
- Velasco,
before Travis leaves,
318
00:13:50,525 --> 00:13:52,266
ask him if he would like
a soda.
319
00:13:52,309 --> 00:13:54,834
- Get his DNA.
On it, Captain.
320
00:13:58,054 --> 00:14:00,535
- Uh, Crystal's lab results
came back.
321
00:14:00,578 --> 00:14:03,190
- Please tell me
it's good news.
322
00:14:03,233 --> 00:14:04,452
- Just the opposite.
323
00:14:04,495 --> 00:14:08,064
- Uh, between the rape kit
and her bedding,
324
00:14:08,108 --> 00:14:10,545
three different semen samples.
325
00:14:12,155 --> 00:14:13,896
- Anybody in the system?
- None.
326
00:14:13,940 --> 00:14:16,159
- When you asked her,
she didn't mention
327
00:14:16,203 --> 00:14:18,161
having anyone special
in her life right now?
328
00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:23,123
- Just her son.
329
00:14:31,435 --> 00:14:35,178
- How long does semen last?
- Long enough.
330
00:14:35,222 --> 00:14:36,658
- There were three samples.
331
00:14:36,701 --> 00:14:40,967
Hopefully, one of those samples
will be...
332
00:14:41,010 --> 00:14:43,491
your rapist.
333
00:14:43,534 --> 00:14:46,842
But we do need you
to walk us through
334
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:50,715
who the other two can be so we
can eliminate them as suspects.
335
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:52,892
- Oh, my God.
336
00:14:54,676 --> 00:14:57,461
This is why
I didn't tell you.
337
00:14:57,505 --> 00:15:02,771
My ex is trying to get custody
of Manny, and if he finds out--
338
00:15:02,814 --> 00:15:04,642
- You're a single woman.
339
00:15:06,383 --> 00:15:08,951
- He kind of thinks
we're still together.
340
00:15:08,995 --> 00:15:11,736
- So your ex is
one of the samples.
341
00:15:11,780 --> 00:15:13,477
- Probably.
342
00:15:16,741 --> 00:15:19,570
He--he came by two days ago.
343
00:15:19,614 --> 00:15:22,573
It--it always puts him
in a better mood.
344
00:15:22,617 --> 00:15:26,360
- Okay,
who else can you tell us about?
345
00:15:27,796 --> 00:15:30,755
- Up the mountain in five,
four, three--
346
00:15:33,019 --> 00:15:36,326
- Raif Tawari?
347
00:15:36,370 --> 00:15:40,940
- There you go, keep breathing.
Three minutes, everybody.
348
00:15:40,983 --> 00:15:43,812
Okay, push, don't stop.
Don't stop.
349
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:47,555
Yeah?
What is this about?
350
00:15:47,598 --> 00:15:48,991
- You were at a party
on a rooftop,
351
00:15:49,035 --> 00:15:51,951
Loisaida, Friday night?
352
00:15:51,994 --> 00:15:54,301
- Yeah.
Again, what is this about?
353
00:15:54,344 --> 00:15:55,998
- You hook up with anyone?
354
00:15:56,042 --> 00:15:58,522
- That was totally consensual.
355
00:15:58,566 --> 00:16:00,960
- Is that her?
356
00:16:01,003 --> 00:16:03,745
- Crystal, right?
What's she saying?
357
00:16:03,788 --> 00:16:05,399
- How about we ask
the questions?
358
00:16:05,442 --> 00:16:09,620
- Okay, look, we were dancing.
359
00:16:09,664 --> 00:16:12,406
Hot.
She was, like, into it.
360
00:16:12,449 --> 00:16:13,798
In control.
361
00:16:13,842 --> 00:16:15,409
We took the party
to another location.
362
00:16:15,452 --> 00:16:16,758
- Her apartment?
363
00:16:16,801 --> 00:16:18,934
- No, a corner of the roof.
364
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:20,675
After, I walked her home.
365
00:16:20,718 --> 00:16:23,460
She said I couldn't come up.
She had to let the sitter go.
366
00:16:23,504 --> 00:16:24,592
I didn't even know
she had a kid.
367
00:16:24,635 --> 00:16:26,594
- Life's full of surprises,
huh?
368
00:16:26,637 --> 00:16:28,030
- Any chance you went
back anyway?
369
00:16:28,074 --> 00:16:30,641
Doubled back for round two?
370
00:16:30,685 --> 00:16:32,774
No big deal.
- No.
371
00:16:32,817 --> 00:16:35,951
Man, no.
372
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:39,955
Look, I went home to my wife.
373
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:41,739
We were in bed by midnight.
374
00:16:41,783 --> 00:16:44,046
You're not gonna tell either
one of them, are you?
375
00:16:48,572 --> 00:16:49,704
- Am I in trouble?
376
00:16:52,707 --> 00:16:54,926
- You tell me, Arlo.
377
00:16:54,970 --> 00:16:56,363
How about we start
with your relationship
378
00:16:56,406 --> 00:16:57,668
to Crystal Nuñez.
379
00:16:57,712 --> 00:16:59,061
- Well,
she's my upstairs neighbor.
380
00:16:59,105 --> 00:17:01,759
- We know that.
And?
381
00:17:01,803 --> 00:17:04,545
- She sometimes calls me
her--her "minute man."
382
00:17:04,588 --> 00:17:05,850
- Minute man.
- Yeah.
383
00:17:05,894 --> 00:17:07,461
- Uh-huh.
384
00:17:07,504 --> 00:17:09,506
- Not like that.
385
00:17:09,550 --> 00:17:11,639
We started hooking up
during Covid.
386
00:17:11,682 --> 00:17:13,989
We'd get together whenever she
had a little bit of downtime
387
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:16,557
and her kid was napping.
388
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,907
She texted, I'd come up.
389
00:17:18,950 --> 00:17:22,084
It was a lonely time,
and we needed each other.
390
00:17:22,128 --> 00:17:23,564
It was sweet.
- I'm sure it was.
391
00:17:23,607 --> 00:17:25,522
And when was the last time
you were in her apartment?
392
00:17:25,566 --> 00:17:28,090
- A few nights ago.
Manny was asleep.
393
00:17:28,134 --> 00:17:31,485
And she was, well, you know.
394
00:17:31,528 --> 00:17:33,704
- "Few nights ago"?
Like, two nights? Friday?
395
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:37,752
- No, no way.
I--I swear.
396
00:17:37,795 --> 00:17:39,145
- Why not?
397
00:17:39,188 --> 00:17:40,537
- Because every Friday,
I go home and have dinner
398
00:17:40,581 --> 00:17:41,843
with my mother.
399
00:17:41,886 --> 00:17:44,454
Spend the night
at my old house in Babylon.
400
00:17:44,498 --> 00:17:46,500
And she does my laundry.
401
00:17:46,543 --> 00:17:49,111
- Yeah.
402
00:17:49,155 --> 00:17:51,157
- How's Crystal doing?
I'm worried about her.
403
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,680
She makes
a lot of bad decisions.
404
00:17:52,723 --> 00:17:53,855
- When's the last time
you saw her?
405
00:17:53,898 --> 00:17:55,117
- This afternoon.
406
00:17:55,161 --> 00:17:57,032
She wanted Manny back.
I brought him back.
407
00:17:57,076 --> 00:18:00,818
Her apartment was a crap show,
I gotta tell you.
408
00:18:00,862 --> 00:18:03,604
- What about two nights ago,
Friday?
409
00:18:03,647 --> 00:18:05,519
- You mean the night
she was attacked?
410
00:18:05,562 --> 00:18:07,956
Find that guy yet?
- We're still investigating.
411
00:18:07,999 --> 00:18:10,741
- I'd kill him myself,
I had any idea.
412
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:15,006
- Mr. Sosa,
you told us earlier
413
00:18:15,050 --> 00:18:16,878
you were home with
your girlfriend that night?
414
00:18:16,921 --> 00:18:18,706
- Yeah.
What's it to you?
415
00:18:18,749 --> 00:18:21,056
- Well, we since found out
you and Crystal have been
416
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:23,580
hooking up.
Maybe you came over earlier.
417
00:18:23,624 --> 00:18:25,452
She got angry for some reason,
called the cops.
418
00:18:25,495 --> 00:18:26,801
- Are you kidding me with this?
419
00:18:26,844 --> 00:18:28,585
- Look, man, you have a DV
complaint against you.
420
00:18:28,629 --> 00:18:30,892
We gotta ask these questions.
- That was more her than me.
421
00:18:30,935 --> 00:18:33,547
Okay? We were drunk, loud.
Crystal pushed me.
422
00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:35,026
Couple Karens called the cops.
423
00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:38,552
We scream, but I ain't never
lay a hand on Crystal.
424
00:18:38,595 --> 00:18:39,988
You accusing me of something,
say it.
425
00:18:40,031 --> 00:18:41,642
- We confirm
with your girlfriend
426
00:18:41,685 --> 00:18:43,600
you were home,
and we take you off the list.
427
00:18:43,644 --> 00:18:45,559
- I don't want her
involved in this.
428
00:18:45,602 --> 00:18:47,038
What's really going on?
Hmm?
429
00:18:47,082 --> 00:18:49,693
Crystal said that she was raped
in front of my kid.
430
00:18:49,737 --> 00:18:51,608
If she's lying--
- Mr. Sosa, calm down.
431
00:18:51,652 --> 00:18:54,872
- No, no, no, we're talking
about my son.
432
00:18:54,916 --> 00:18:57,701
Don't you tell me to calm down.
433
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:03,229
- Crystal Nuñez had sex
with three different men
434
00:19:03,272 --> 00:19:05,100
and failed to disclose that?
435
00:19:05,144 --> 00:19:06,971
- She was worried
about her ex-husband
436
00:19:07,015 --> 00:19:08,930
finding out
about her private life.
437
00:19:08,973 --> 00:19:12,238
- Because she was still having
sex with him?
438
00:19:12,281 --> 00:19:14,936
Look, how do we know
that this isn't just, uh,
439
00:19:14,979 --> 00:19:16,111
some kind of domestic dispute?
440
00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:17,634
- Her ex-husband
and the two other men
441
00:19:17,678 --> 00:19:19,854
she was with
that week alibied out.
442
00:19:19,897 --> 00:19:21,682
- So that's three.
443
00:19:21,725 --> 00:19:24,119
And what about this--this
ice cream vendor?
444
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,469
- His DNA is not a match.
445
00:19:26,513 --> 00:19:29,733
But, Chief, the rapist may not
have left DNA.
446
00:19:29,777 --> 00:19:30,995
- She said he wore a condom.
447
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:34,216
- Or there was no rape.
- Okay.
448
00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:36,218
Look,
449
00:19:36,262 --> 00:19:39,830
her three-year-old son was
in the bed next to her.
450
00:19:39,874 --> 00:19:43,791
- So she says, but, come on,
we've been here before.
451
00:19:43,834 --> 00:19:46,010
She brings someone home
she shouldn't have.
452
00:19:46,054 --> 00:19:48,056
She's worried
about the ex finding out.
453
00:19:48,099 --> 00:19:51,277
So she cries rape, throws in
a story about the kid,
454
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,930
to--you know, for sympathy--
455
00:19:52,974 --> 00:19:56,282
- She's not a perfect victim,
but she is not making this up.
456
00:19:56,325 --> 00:19:58,588
- Well, let's hope so.
457
00:19:58,632 --> 00:20:01,504
'Cause that would be a terrible
headline for us, wouldn't it?
458
00:20:04,725 --> 00:20:07,641
Unless you get something on
somebody, just slow the roll.
459
00:20:08,990 --> 00:20:11,210
- Slow the roll?
460
00:20:11,253 --> 00:20:13,603
- There's no case here,
Captain.
461
00:20:13,647 --> 00:20:20,262
♪
462
00:20:20,306 --> 00:20:22,917
- Yes, Rollins,
yeah, Fin is right.
463
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,702
McGrath is not eager
to pursue.
464
00:20:25,746 --> 00:20:27,574
I know, I know, look.
465
00:20:27,617 --> 00:20:28,966
We need to check in
with Crystal,
466
00:20:29,010 --> 00:20:31,012
so I will meet you
at her apartment.
467
00:20:31,055 --> 00:20:33,667
I'm almost done
with the NYPD doctor.
468
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:36,626
Yeah, okay, thanks.
469
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:38,846
Doctor, how you doing?
470
00:20:38,889 --> 00:20:41,022
I, uh, I really need
to get back to work.
471
00:20:41,065 --> 00:20:43,067
I'm hoping
that you can clear me
472
00:20:43,111 --> 00:20:45,635
so I can be off
this limited duty.
473
00:20:45,679 --> 00:20:49,726
- Well, it's not that simple.
- But I'm--
474
00:20:49,770 --> 00:20:51,902
I'm able to walk
short distances now.
475
00:20:51,946 --> 00:20:52,903
- I see.
476
00:20:52,947 --> 00:20:54,818
But your ankle is
badly fractured,
477
00:20:54,862 --> 00:20:56,298
and you're not going to be
chasing a perp
478
00:20:56,342 --> 00:20:59,562
across a rooftop anytime soon.
479
00:20:59,606 --> 00:21:02,609
Look, have you ever considered
it's time to move on?
480
00:21:04,698 --> 00:21:07,309
- Move on?
- Retirement.
481
00:21:07,353 --> 00:21:10,181
I'm considering it myself.
482
00:21:10,225 --> 00:21:15,317
- I am nowhere near moving on
or retirement.
483
00:21:15,361 --> 00:21:16,971
Look, I--
484
00:21:17,014 --> 00:21:19,060
I still have
so much work to do.
485
00:21:19,103 --> 00:21:21,758
I'm raising a young son
on my own, I'm--
486
00:21:21,802 --> 00:21:23,282
- You could spend
a lot more quality time
487
00:21:23,325 --> 00:21:26,110
with him while he's young like
I wish I'd done with mine.
488
00:21:27,851 --> 00:21:30,332
- I need to work.
489
00:21:30,376 --> 00:21:32,943
I love my job.
490
00:21:32,987 --> 00:21:36,643
- Olivia, we both know
it's not the same job
491
00:21:36,686 --> 00:21:38,732
it was when we signed on.
492
00:21:38,775 --> 00:21:43,737
The last few years, the stress,
the turnover.
493
00:21:43,780 --> 00:21:46,914
I heard about
the new interim chief.
494
00:21:46,957 --> 00:21:49,395
Your accident on your way
to the courthouse at 10:00 PM,
495
00:21:49,438 --> 00:21:51,048
that makes it job-related.
496
00:21:51,092 --> 00:21:54,791
So I can mark you fit
for duty right now.
497
00:21:54,835 --> 00:21:58,795
Or I could put you on
the fast-track to 3/4 pay.
498
00:21:58,839 --> 00:22:01,320
Tax-free.
499
00:22:01,363 --> 00:22:04,323
Full bennies.
For life.
500
00:22:07,978 --> 00:22:10,111
Just think about it.
501
00:22:12,766 --> 00:22:14,245
- Eduardo's freaked out.
502
00:22:14,289 --> 00:22:16,204
He wants Manny
to go stay with him.
503
00:22:16,247 --> 00:22:18,249
I knew I shouldn't have
called him that night.
504
00:22:18,293 --> 00:22:19,860
- I'm so sorry, Crystal.
505
00:22:19,903 --> 00:22:21,383
- I don't want to make things
worse with Eduardo,
506
00:22:21,427 --> 00:22:23,167
but I don't think
Manny wants to go.
507
00:22:23,211 --> 00:22:25,300
Ever since that night,
he's gotten clingy
508
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:26,693
or he's hitting me.
509
00:22:26,736 --> 00:22:28,390
- Well, we could get you
a referral
510
00:22:28,434 --> 00:22:30,697
from Victim Services
for counseling.
511
00:22:30,740 --> 00:22:32,916
For you and for Manny.
There'd be no charge.
512
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,789
- You want to send my son
to a shrink?
513
00:22:35,832 --> 00:22:37,312
- Just think about it.
514
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,836
- All I can think about is
whoever raped me
515
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,795
coming back.
He's still out there.
516
00:22:41,838 --> 00:22:43,449
- And we are still
investigating.
517
00:22:43,492 --> 00:22:46,016
- Why haven't you caught him?

Always interesting in here.

You had his DNA.
I was willing to testify.

why Travis wasn't charged
in Crystal's rape.
