" You don't have to go to jail, but you do need to tell us why you took off in that van." "I had to." "Well, you can't go around stealing cars." "Why?" "It was fun." "Christopher, you know how dangerous that was?" "You know how many people could've been hurt?" "I don't care." "I liked it." "Your foster parents aren't gonna like it when they have to pay for the damage you did." "Good." "I hate them." "Why, Christopher?" "Why do you hate them?" "What did they do?" "Just..."

"Who authorized that?" "Not the kid." "Foster mother allowed to put his health at risk just to make a buck off of him?" "I think there's some confusion here." "The rules for kids are different from adults." "They have to have the disease or the condition that's being studied." "Christopher was already hyperactive." "So that gives you the right to poke and prod him like a lab rat." "We're helping children, Detective." "Until a decade ago, kids were hardly ever included in these studies." "Since they have been, we found about 1/5 that listed the wrong dosage." "Another 1/5 didn't work at all." "And in 1/3, we discovered new pediatric safety issues." "Oh, safety." "You're conducting experiments out of a rat hole, exploiting desperate people." "We are closely monitored by a private review board." "And every test subject gives informed consent." "Meaning they are aware of all possible risks." "Noah..." "Noah, wait, listen." "I can explain." "I cannot believe you gave him drugs." "It was him or me." "I was at my wit's end." "They trusted us to help this boy." "You made his life worse." "I thought I was helping him." "We had a game plan. / No, you, you, you had a game plan." "This was your cause of the moment from the very start." "I never had any say in it." "Stop making up stories, Gwen, okay?" "Just shut up!" "No!" "You never had to deal with him." "He's driving me..." "Hey!" "Mr. and Mrs. Sibert." "Hey, champ." "How you doing, bud?" "I'm starving." "Well, I'd say you deserve a great big frozen yogurt, then." "I want chocolate ice cream." "Okay." "chocolate it is." "Hey." "Christopher." "If you ever feel like you're in trouble again," "I want you to call me at this number, okay?" "Okay." "Take care of yourself." "Can I press the button?" "Just the one marked G." "Christopher, please." "Something tells me the Siberts won't be Christopher's last foster parents." "What about the other kids in this study?" "Report the clinic to the group who's supposed to be monitoring them." "Well, I'm gonna make sure that this one goes to the top of their pile." "Well, do it tomorrow." "Go home." "You look like you could use a little sleep." "Yeah, okay." "Hey." "Oh." "Whoa." "I didn't mean to scare you." "I'm usually more careful about sneaking up on people who carry guns." "I'm sorry." "I'm usually not this jumpy." "You don't remember me." "We worked on another case together." "Tonya Majeski, ACS." "Oh, yes of course." "You're Christopher's caseworker." "Yes." "Oh, I brought you a copy of his file." "I stopped by the Siberts' to check up on them." "We scheduled a few sessions to determine how we should proceed." " You have a good one." " Thank you." "Oh, my God." "There a problem?" "Christopher's birth mother." "Caitlyn Ryan." "Before she gave up custody of him, she was a rape victim." "It was my case." "Caitlyn." "It's Olivia Benson." "Caitlyn, it's important." "It's about Christopher." "Did something happen to him?" "He's okay, but I..." "I really need to talk to you." "May I come in?" "Oh, um, I'm not dressed, and the place is a mess." "That's okay." "My place is a disaster area, trust me." "Please." " I must look awful." " No, you look... fine." "I would've called first, but your number was disconnected." "I had a really tough time finding you." "When you move, we need to update your file." "Why?" "So you can call and remind me you're never gonna find my rapist?" "Caitlyn, your case is cold, but it is not closed." "I'm not gonna wake up and suddenly know what my rapist looked like behind his mask." "We've cracked cases a lot older than this one." "Yeah, with DNA." "I should scratched him so you'd have some." "I should fought back, you know." "I mean I would have but I just..." "But what?" "I don't know how I let it get this bad." "Oh, please." "I sleep on my couch quite often." "Do you need to have the TV on?" "You said you came here about Chris." "Yeah." "I..." "I met Christopher through the Siberts." "I was surprised to find out that he was your son..." "I never got to meet him before." "Well, he was only five." "I just didn't want him to know anything about it." "I mean, my only salvation is that he was at a sleepover the night that... that thing broke in." "Caitlyn..." "Why did you give Christopher up?" "Look at me." "I mean, at first, I could function." "Then I just started reliving it all the time, you know." "I couldn't concentrate at work." "So I lost my job." "And I lost my apartment." "And then I just wanted to sleep." "I mean, he would literally like, beg me to fix him something to eat." "I'd just let him go hungry." "I'm not a fit mother." "Caitlyn." "Caitlyn, listen to me." "You have rape trauma syndrome." "It's a form of PTSD." "You need therapy." "And when you get better, you're gonna get Christopher back." "No." "It's never gonna happen." "Will you talk to a rape crisis counselor?" "I did." "I joined a group." "I've done it all." "I got nothing." "I got a new home for Chris." "That's all I got." "What do you mean?" "That's where I met Gwen Sibert." "She was a rape victim too." "MORNINGSTAR PARK TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9" "So why didn't your wife mention that she was a rape victim raising another victim's son?" "It had nothing to do with Christopher." "It happened five years ago, before we were married." "That would've been our case." "Did Gwen not report it?" "Christopher." "Play nice, Kiddo." "She reported it." "We lived in Jersey City then." " They catch the guy?" " No." "And he better pray they never do." "Gwen met Caitlyn in therapy, but she told Detective Tutuol that it was your idea to take Christopher in." "It was." "Gwen told me that Caitlyn was having a rough time raising him." "And she should known better." "I like to fix things." "It's how Gwen and I got together." "After she was attacked, I went over there to fix her locks, look in on her." "We fell in love." "So where do things stand with Christopher?" "I wanna keep him." "Gwen wants to give him back to Caitlyn." "Hey." "What about my mom?" "Uh, she's still kinda sick, champ." "But she told me that she really, really misses you." "No, she doesn't." "She hates me." " That's not true." " Is so." "She used to love me." "Till that man made her sad." "The she gave me away." "What man?" "Was he real or pretend?" "Real." " What did he look like?" " I don't know." "He was wearing a mask." "Christopher wasn't at a sleepover the night that Caitlyn Ryan was raped." "He was in the bedroom right next to hers." "Victims always hold something back." "I hate that." "Usually a detail they're embarrassed about." "Why'd she keep that from us?" "Maternal instinct." "You talked to Christopher?" "Yes, and if we'd talked to him two years ago, we would've known that Caitlyn belonged to our pattern rape." "Annabelle Ashton, four year cold." "Emily Johannes is under a year, but we linked that to Annabelle's," " and there was a third." " Natalie Clay." "All three, single mothers of a young boy." "Just like Caitlyn." "Masked, break-in rapist." "Aside from the rape, none of them were battered." "Well, they couldn't fight back,the perp threatened to kill their kid if they did." "He told them all that they were a bad mother, just like he did to Caitlyn." "Victims had that in common, nothing else." "Add Caitlyn to the pin map, see if she fills in a pattern." "He never hit the neighborhood twice, and Caitlyn's no exception." "Hold up." "Emily Johannes was raped in her apartment, but we looked really hard at a bartender from her favorite dive." "A block away from Caitlyn's apartment." "ALONY'S PUB 347 COLUMBUS AVENUE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9" "Ah, the smell of stale beer and quite desperation." "I ever tell you about the bar I owned in Baltimore?" "About a kazillion times." "I'd like to open one up here, but the real estate's a bit pricier." "Henry working here today?" "I'm gonna need investors." "You interested?" "What're you smoking?" "Come on, then we get to still be partners after you left the squad." " That is, if you're really leaving." " Watch me." "You know, if one more person dumps me, I'm gonna start taking it personally." "Aside from my wives, there was Jeffries, Cassidy, Meldrick," "Stan "the big man" Bolander." "Stan the man was my mentor in Baltimore." "Just like I am yours." "Circle of life, my friend." "Circle of life." "Aw, not you guys again." "Okay, he remember us." "How about her, Henry?" "Never seen her before." "She get raped?" " Who said anything about rape?" " You did." "The last 100 times you hassled me..." "About that other girl, Emily." "And I was totally straight with you." "Flirted with her, never did her." "But you insisted on carding her even though she was well past the drinking age." "When you ask to see the older ladies' IDs, you get a bigger tip." "And you get to look at their home address on their license." "Emily sat right in this bar and told you everything about her kid." "And the party in my pants was over." "That's the reason I didn't do her." "The bartender handed me back my license, told me that I looked hot for my age." "I'm 34." "And he propositioned you?" "It was all lame innuendo." ""Babe, you're making my job really hard tonight." "You're making it hard."" "And you spoke to him for a while." "Yeah, only because I was sloshed on mojitos." "I would've never let him touch me." "I know, Emily, I'm just asking if you remember what his voice sounded like." "Raspy." "My rapist's voice was a hoarse whisper." " No Brooklyn accent." " Accents can be faked." "No, it has to be someone from the online dating service for single mothers." "We checked out everyone you e-mailed." "Yeah, but you never found the one that stood me up." "You said he signed on at an internet cafe." "Prepaid card." "Dave Jones?" "I mean, it even sounds fake." "A lot of people go to extremes to protect their identity online." "Yeah, well, I sat at that coffee shop for an hour" "So maybe he came, and he followed me home." "Cause I was raped a week later." "None of the other victims used that dating service." "You're positive it wasn't Henry?" "No, I never went into that bar." "And you never took Christopher to swim classes at the Y?" "And you never used an online dating service?" "Caitlyn, please." "This is really important." "I need you to answer me." " Have you?" " Once." "A free trial session." " Okay, well, you said that you hadn't." " I was embarrassed." "This girl at work, she made me go on this site on her computer." " It was for single mothers." " Did you meet anybody on it?" "No." "One guy on their sounded great." "We were supposed to meet for coffee, he never showed up." "I'm not lying to you." "I've never done online dating." "Natalie, it's just very important." "It could help us catch your rapist." "I've been hounding you for two years with every humiliating detail I remember." " Why wouldn't I tell you that?" " What about chat rooms?" "Or anyone you've met with the last name of Jones?" "Nat." "We've got a situation in the dressing rooms." "Uh, excuse me, I'll be right back." "Stabler." "Yeah." "Did you get a picture?" "Okay, great..." "I'll be down." "One of the charges on my stolen credit card?" "Yeah, Bonnie and Clyde used it to get matching tattoos." "Him on the wrist, her one the inner thigh." "Should make the line-up easier when you catch them." "What?" "Look at the designer label." "The green line." "Isn't that the Siberts' clothing line?" "Natalie Clay started doing business with the Siberts before her rape." "No one knew she was single with a son." "Could be coincidence." "What about the first victim, Annabelle Ashton?" "No connection so far, but she got the hell outta dodge after her rape four years ago." "Still tracking her down." "Hey guys, Noah's old punk band, public vagary, his band mates were twins, Dave and Danny Jones." "He used their names on the dating website." "Emily answered David Jones' AD." "And Caitlyn answered Dan's." "Noah Sibert marries a rape victim and then starts raping?" "Right." "Women with little boys." "Now the son of a bitch is raising one of them." "First you accuse me of child abuse, now rape." "Where does this end?" "With justice." "For Natalie, Emily, Annabelle..." "and Caitlyn." "All single mom, working outside home." "You got a problem with that, don't you?" " No." "Come on, Noah." "You forced your own wife to quit her job when you got Christopher." "Which was the first time that I ever met Caitlyn." "Months after she was raped." "Yeah." "That must've been a turn-on for you, huh?" "Wife comes home from her support group, tells you this poor woman's story, and you're hearing all the details of the rape that you committed." " My wife was raped." " Yeah." "You ask Gwen how supportive I've been." "Oh, we know how you like to fix things." "The planet, damaged women, neglected little boys." "Just like yourself...we hear that your mom didn't stick around after your father left." " Let's leave her outta this." " We know you had issues." "You ran away when you were 16." "You haven't talked to her since." "Did you rape all these women to punish mommy?" "I left home to join a band." "That failed so miserably, you never dreamed that anybody would notice that you used your band mates' names on that dating website." " Danny and Dave?" " Yeah." " Someone's using "Jones" as an alias?" " Yeah." "Natalie I know from my business." "What's my six degrees of separation from this woman?" "Annabelle." "All right, tell you what, you're innocent." "Do a voice line-up." "Number one, please step forward and loudly whisper the line you were given." "You're a bad mother." "Number two." "You're a bad mother." "Number three." "You're a bad mother." "Number four." "You're a bad mother." "Number five." "You're a bad mother." "Um..." "Uh, it was like a harsher whisper." "Like throatier." "Number five, repeat the line, more from the throat, a little harsher." "You're a bad mother." "Number five." "Great job." "Come on." "She picked your client, Mr. Strauss." "But Emily and Natalie picked number two." "I have to admit." "Two's voice even scared me." " I assume we're done?" " You assumed wrong." "We'll be in touch." "What was that?" "I thought you were supposed to be the crusader." "We need to find the 4th victim." "I take this to the grand jury with only one of the three picking Noah, they'll blow it out, and then we're finished." " We're going home now." " Not with Christopher." "I'm his legal guardian." "You have no say in it." "Well, his caseworker does." "She's on her way." "Christopher?" "Oh, my God." " You've gotten so big." " You worthless bitch." "Caitlyn, go back into the squad room." " I don't understand." " You miserable ingrate." "After all we've done for you, you lying bitch!" "First you saddle me with this messed up little kid..." "Gwen.../ And then you make these ridiculous accusations towards my husband." "What are you talking about?" "I was just here for a line-up." "I hate you." "I hate you. / Christopher..." "You leave her alone." "She's my real mom, not you." "Fine... fine." "Take him back." "Oh, take him back." "That is the best revenge I can wish on you." "You raped me." "You're sick." "You're nothing but a liar." " Gwen." "Let's go now." " Don't." "Hey, champ." "I'm not abandoning you." "I'm gonna fight to get you back, okay?" "You know I love you, right?" "It's all slobbery." "Yeah, I know it is." "Don't touch your cheek." "Don't touch your cheek." "All right, come with me." "That should do it." "We'll let you know if we get DNA." "Thanks." "Not that we have anything to compare it against." "This guy's been careful." "Maybe he wasn't when he first started." "Oh, Christopher." "I'm so sorry." "I'm gonna do whatever I can to make this up to you, okay?" "How come you gave me away?" "Why didn't you wanna be my mom anymore?" "I never stopped wanting that." "I just..." "Mommy's been very sick, okay?" "I'm gonna do everything I can to get better, okay?" "So I can be a good mom." "Okay." " I love you." " I love you too." "Hi, Tonya." "Please." "Please can I take him home?" "As soon as we can show the court that it's a safe environment." "Don't cry mama." "It'll be okay." "I promise you it will be." "Those people starved me to death." " I need a hamburger right now." " Okay." "Come on." "You'll get him back." " I'm afraid I got some bad news." " What now?" "I heard back from the chief of D's office." " You know a Greg Burkle?" " Oh, no." "Who's that?" "Guy I used to work with back in narcotics." "After his wife divorced him, she started calling me. / Damn." "Well, Greg's at one-p-p now." "He's in charge of Processing Transfers." "Guess I'm not going anywhere soon." "Well, you know you could never leave me." "Captain, Fin and I were thinking of going in on a bar." "You wanna buy in?" "Well, gee, John, I don't know." "Let me run it by the guys at my next AA meeting. / Yup." "I reached out to a friend of mine, he's on security at Hudson U., got my guy." "He's running him over now." "If anything breaks, just come get me." "Dad." "Kathleen." "What're you doing here?" "You had my boyfriend arrested?" "What the hell?" "What are you talking about?" "Tony didn't steal your credit card." "I had to buy some books for school, so I borrowed it when I was home on Sunday." "You didn't buy any books." "You never told me you had a boyfriend." "Well, I do, and you better make it right." "I'd better make..." "What did you just say to me?" "What did you just say to me?" "El." "Tony didn't do anything." "We're not gonna talk about this now." "And you're gonna get that thing removed from your leg." "You have a tattoo." "What do you got, Liv?" "I found our fourth victim." "Annabelle Ashton." "She moved back to Iowa." "After her rape." "She killed herself last year." "If we'd found Noah earlier..." "All right, all right, all right, all right." "All right, all right." "Look, you can't do this to yourself." "You can't go there." "Hey, guys." "We got a hit off Noah's DNA." "Why are you doing this to us?" "This is crazy." "He couldn't have done it." "It was him." "It was the only time he left DNA." " After that he started covering his tracks." " It's not possible." "Listen to me." "The DNA from your rape kit was entered into CODIS five years ago." "The match was confirmed." "Noah raped you." "Noah." "Noah, tell them that they're wrong." "Tell them that they're wrong." "Baby, why aren't you telling them that they're wrong?" "Gwen, listen to me." "You need to tell them what really happened." "What?" "That you filed a false police report." "Oh, God no." "The sex we had was consensual." "No... no." "God, no." "You're telling me that I married..." "I married my own rapist?" "I loved you." "You never had the time of day for me before that." "It all turned out all right." "I made you feel safe, you fell in love with me." "Do you know how I feel right now?" "Sorry about that." "Noah Sibert accepted the plea deal." "Surprised you offered him one..." "I thought you were dying to strut your stuff in the courtroom." "It's not about me." "There were a lot of traumatized victims in this case." "Now, they won't be dragged through a trial." " So what's he get?" " The max." "You are good." "How'd you do that?" "Threatened him with a penalty enhancement of 25 years." "How?" "The New York hate crime statute covers race, color, sexual orientation, religion, and gender." "Noah targeted a specific subset of women." "Most rapists do." "He actually believed you could charge him with rape as hate crime?" "No one's been able to pull that one off." "He knows I intend to be the first." "I wasn't bluffing." "It's my pet project." "Maybe on the next one." "So, how does this work?" "Do we all go out for a celebratory drink?" "Well, if we had a bar, drinks would be on the house." "Where's Olivia?" "It happened four months ago." "I was, um, working undercover in a prison, and..." "And a male guard tried to rape me." "And I was..." "I was okay at first, and then..." "I've started reliving it." "Just feel really jumpy, and I can't sleep." "And I feel very out of control." "And the thing is that I wasn't even raped." "Olivia..." "You were sexually assaulted." "He came so close, and there was nothing that I could do to stop him." "He had a weapon." "And he completely overpowered me." "And I never should've let him take me down there." "Cause I know better than that." "Rape victims often blame themselves." "You know how misplaced that blame is." "I know, I know." "I know that here." "I've told that same thing to a lot of women." "But now I..." "I feel..." "I feel like I don't deserve to be here." "I feel like..." "I feel like he has..." "He stole something from me." "And..." "And I need help dealing with it."
