"'In the criminal justice system, 'sexually based offences are considered especially heinous." "'In New York City, the detectives who investigate these vicious felonies 'are members of an elite squad, known as the Special Victims Unit." "'These are their stories.'" "Seven robberies, all electronics stores, by a pot-bellied man with a handgun just before closing." "Yes, sir." "That is correct." "When did your robbery unit determine these were part of a pattern?" "After the third one." "You didn't write it up until the seventh had occurred." " No, sir." " And as a result, when a similar robbery occurred in Queens, they couldn't connect it." "We made a mistake." "You did." "It seems robbery is not your strong suit." "Accordingly, I ask that you report to the Personnel Office for reassignment." "That is all." "OK." "Let's hear from Special Victims." "Captain Cragen." "Erm, good morning, Commissioner Morris." "Captain." "I hear we have a man who masturbates on the Third Avenue bus." "We used to." "Detectives Benson and Stabler made an arrest yesterday." " You sure he's the guy?" " Yes, sir." "His name is Olaf Vargas." " He has a long list of priors." " Good." "I hope they clean the seats." "Slide." "Do you recognise these addresses, Captain Cragen?" " No, sir." "I do not." " Let me refresh your memory." "Three break-in rapes in less than a week." "Last week, DNA backlog matched them to one unknown assailant." " Do you remember now?" " No, sir." "If you'd read your circular, you'd recognise this as newly-identified rape pattern for 1995." "1995?" "Sir, I was in Homicide in 1995." "But it's still yours." "Have you done anything on these cases lately?" "No, sir." "They were considered cold." "You realise, if no progress is made soon on these cases we'll be time-barred from prosecuting." "Sir, I am aware of the five-year statute of limitations on rape but..." "Have you talked to any of the victims since you took command of the SVU?" " No, sir." " Now's your opportunity." "One of them has volunteered to address us today." "Ms Kraft?" "My name is Victoria Kraft." "On February 8th, 1995, while I slept, a man broke into my apartment, stripped and climbed into my bed." "He forcibly had sexual intercourse with me." "He Maced me, then left." "I immediately notified the police but no arrest was ever made." "Commissioner Morris recently told me the same man raped two other women." "No arrest was made in either of their cases." "I don't understand why, but rape carries a five-year statute of limitations." "It's harder to dodge a parking ticket." "If he's not arrested soon, the man who attacked me will go unpunished." "I urge the NYPD, and especially the Special Victims Unit, to revisit my case before the statute expires." "Thank you, Commissioner, for the opportunity to speak." "Captain Cragen?" "Thank you, Ms Kraft." "I promise you, we will assign your case the highest priority." "Hey, how was ComStat?" " That bad?" " That bad." "It's like having the IRS audit your case files every three weeks." "Yeah, ComStat is the worst system except for all the others." "It's a pain in the ass for guys like me but it does weed out slackers." "Hey, I'm working on the Third Avenue jerker." "I got something else for you and Jeffries." "Jennifer Neal." "She was raped in her apartment." "Benson, Stabler." "Take the other two victims." "Same doer." "Same MO." "This stuff is from 1995." "The ME is working through the DNA backlog on 12,000 kits from unsolved rapes, matching them against every offender, in the system or not." "So we have three open rapes never before connected to each other, all done by one guy in a week." " Do we have a name?" " No." "But we do have this genetic profile so for now we'll use the lab's designation, John Doe 121." "He breaks into women's apartments, climbs into bed with them, they wake up, his face is covered, he rapes them." "Then he Maces them, dresses and walks out the door." " So, he did three and then stopped?" " Maybe he started using a condom." " A very thoughtful rapist." " White male, in his 20s, maybe in his 30s now, between 5'10'and 6'1'." "His weight is 160." "Obviously that might have changed by now." " Long brown or black hair." " He could be a tub of lard" " with a greying buzz cut." " The statute of limitation expires..." "That's the point." "While you reinterview the victims" "I'll ask the DA for an arrest warrant." "An arrest warrant on a nobody?" "No, we'll try to get the warrant on his DNA." "Might stop the clock." " They're trying that in Wisconsin." " These are the days until the statute of limitations expires on each case." "So, if we fail, and the courts deny us, then in four days, John Doe 121 is gonna get away with three rapes." "I know it's five years but there may be something that came to you, something you realised about the attacker." "He was wearing a stocking mask." "Yes." "Yes, that's in the detective's notes." "Maybe something you saw later that reminded you of him?" " No, I don't think so." " Two other women were raped by him." "Both say he left through the front door." " Your file doesn't say how he left." " Oh." "That's a good question." "This is a floor plan of the apartment where you were living in '95." "Take a look." "Oh, yeah." "I forgot." "See, in my old apartment, to get to the bedroom you had to go through the bathroom." "How did he leave?" "I guess he went out the front door." "I don't remember." "I'm sorry." "Lois, we're on your case full time now so I'm gonna give you my card." "If anything comes to you, anything at all, please call." " I wasn't much help, was I?" " No, no." "Lois, you did great." "Great." "We appreciate you taking the time." " The man's a three-time rapist." " What can I do?" "Persuade a judge to issue a warrant." " We have no name." " We have a genetic profile." "The Wisconsin manoeuvre?" "There's no case law here." "Somebody's gotta be first." "He raped them and Maced them on the way out." "When the precedents were created no one anticipated these advances." "It's a lot of legal work." "Look at it this way." "Every time you get into a cab," "John Doe 121 might be the driver." "The rape was the worst thing that ever happened to me." "That's what you always hear but it's not the whole story." "What do you mean?" "What happened afterwards changed my life." "I received so much love and support from so many people." "It reaffirmed my faith in humanity." "You seem to have adjusted very well." "I went to a very dark place." "I wanted to die." "But the people in my life saw that happening and took care of me." "Once I thought I was alone." "Now I know I'm part of a community." " We're reopening your case." " Oh?" "We just learned from DNA two other women were attacked by the same man." " Oh, no." "When did it happen?" " Within a week of your attack." "We thought comparing the three stories might help." "One victim reported that the attacker knew details of her life." "You did, too." "He knew my dog's name and the restaurant where I ate breakfast." "Is there anything you've remembered since, some detail you may have failed to report?" "Nothing I didn't tell the detectives." "It's not a time I like to revisit." "I understand." "Sorry to bring this up." "We only have a small window of time." "Why?" "In rape cases charges have to be brought within five years." "I just want this to end." "Your Honour, we need an arrest warrant." " I need to eat lunch." " This is urgent." " Where's his name?" " It's a John Doe warrant." "I issued one yesterday." "Four guys robbed a bank." "We caught three." "I based a warrant on a gang name and a description." "Who's this?" "He raped three women." "Identifying information is here." " It looks like a lab report." " It is." "It's his DNA." "The ME's labelled him John Doe 121." " Like the case in..." " Wisconsin." "Which hasn't got our defence bar." "Why not let this case run its course?" "It won't be litigated until he's apprehended." "Statute of limitations ends tonight." "If you've had five years, I want till the end of the day to decide." "To tell the truth, I was disappointed at the detectives who were assigned to my case." " Why disappointed?" " I never got the impression they were the best or the brightest." "They were overloaded with other cases." "And the man who raped me is still out there." "I'm sure they were trying their best." "I disagree, so I hired a private investigator." "He answers only to me." "These are copies of his reports." "First, he found the security in my building deficient." "That's separate." "I have a suit against them." "But there was the guy on the bike." " What guy?" " A neighbour in my building saw a kid speed away right after it happened." " We'd like to talk to him." " You should." "I was standing out here smoking a butt, maybe midnight, 1am." "From the alley, this kid speeds out on a green bike." "He sees me, swerves." "Wham!" "He falls to the ground." "I think, 'Maybe he's hurt.' Go to see, he's got a cut on his elbow." "But he just gets back up and speeds away." " What kind of bike?" " An R500." "Touring bike." "Fenders, drop handlebars, reflective lime-green paint." " You really know your bikes." " I ought to." "I worked in a bike shop over 28 years." " You get a look at the rider?" " He was wearing a motorcycle helmet, on a bike!" " And er... a jump suit." " Maybe a uniform?" "I don't know." "It's been five years." "Counsellor Eastman, Captain Cragen." "I find your application for an arrest warrant ingenious." "The statute of limitations has a long history in common law." "It exists to ensure the defendant receives a fair trial, that the recollections of witnesses, if any, are fresh, to pressure the government to file charges in a timely manner and so that, rightly or wrongly," "accused citizens need not live their life in fear of the government pursuing them after a long delay." "But when these laws were codified, we did not have the technological marvels that exist today." "Your application is a novel idea." "However, it is not the role of this court to evaluate novel ideas, and as such, I cannot grant your application." "Your Honour, Ms Kraft will not see justice unless a warrant is issued." " Will you appeal?" " Yes, Your Honour." "Good, because I've passed the paperwork on to an appellate judge" " in anticipation of such an appeal." " You have?" "Yes." "If my decision is reversed." "I hope it's soon enough to do you some good." "This hearing is adjourned." "Ms Kraft." "You didn't hear the rest of his decision." " It'll be appealed." " It'll be OK." "It's not OK." "You fell down on the job and used legal trickery to hide the mistakes." " That's not true." " You waited five years for this half-cocked legal manoeuvre." "Is that supposed to mollify me?" "Am I the only one to know the law's an ass?" "I endured the rape exam." "I let you know intimate details of my life." "It was embarrassing but I did it." "The promise was you would do something for me." "And today, yet another person in a long line of incompetents tells me, 'Sorry you got raped." "We're not gonna do jack about it.'" "Thank you for making this the second-worst day of my entire life!" "I think you know what the first was." "Vicky Kraft was raped by John Doe 121 five years ago today." "She will never see him stand trial for that rape." "What do we do with the case now?" "Stick with it." "Maybe we can make him on one of the other cases." "She can still testify at the other victim's trial." "Another right-wing end-run around the constitution." " Whose side are you on?" " Hey, I want this creep, too." "But sometimes in cracking down on crime we forget civil liberties." "What are you saying?" "If John Doe 121 marched in now and confessed to Vicky Kraft's rape, would you let him go?" " No." "The law that protects us..." " Against what?" "There was a time I was a thorn in the government's side so I'm glad they can't capriciously arrest us for old crimes." "We're not capriciously arresting anyone." "We have DNA." "We won't arrest anyone unless we make a case on one of the other rapes." "We'll talk to the detectives who first investigated." " OK with you?" " Sure." "It'll be like visiting the Special Victims Unit Alumni Association." "All the people that used to sit at these desks." "Where are they now?" "I remember Vicky Kraft's rape." "A frustrating, no-leads case." "It was one of the reasons I transferred." " Frustration?" " No." "She sued me and my partner." " Sued you on what grounds?" " She got some high-priced attorney to say we were derelict in our duties." "The PBA lawyers handled it." " The suit was thrown out, but, boy!" " No good deed goes unpunished." "She was just angry we weren't making any headway," " but we were on her case 24/7." " Did you have any suspects?" "None." "But I had a clear mental picture of the kind of guy he was." "What was your thinking?" "He gets past two locked doors." "This is one of those buildings where you have to get buzzed in twice." "No tenants remember letting anyone in even though someone had to." " The kind of guy nobody notices." " Right." "White guy, under-employed, filled with resentment." "A nobody." "A paper boy or meter reader." " Now he's a triple nobody." " What do you mean?" "DNA matched him to two other open rapes." "I..." "I hate to hear that." " You worked a case." "Jennifer Neal." " Oh, yeah." "Real nice lady." "We've reopened her case." "Anything you remember, we'd appreciate." " This guy knew about her." " An acquaintance?" " She didn't know him." " What kind of things did he know?" "What car she drove, where she worked, where she shopped." " How did he know that?" " We never found out." "We thought maybe he tapped her phones or read her mail." "It never makes sense till you interrogate the guy, you know?" " Too well." " We tied her rape to two others." "Oh, damn." "Who caught the other rapes?" "Ruby Mazzanti had Kraft's." "Ruby?" "Great gal." "We never made the connection." "Who got the other?" " Detective Dan Latimer." " Oh, hell." " Why?" "What about him?" " You know the type." "You think he should leave but you can't bad-mouth him." " What did he do?" " He said most rapes were fantasies." "He screwed up a case." "They told him to retire or be fired." "He retired." " Where is he now?" " He runs the Ten Thirteen." "A cop bar in Queens." "Old-timers go there." "Go talk to him." "So, Roy, what made you get out of Special Victims?" "On my last case, the victim was raped and murdered." "All in a day's work, right?" "But there's plier marks all over her body like she was... tortured for a week before she died." "Her name was Jo-Jo." "Nobody sees what we see." "Sex crimes cops are garbage collectors." "Do two years and get out, I say." " We wanna discuss one of your cases." " I retired." " The rapist didn't." " Department did me no favours." "Six months shy of my 20, they squeeze me out to screw me on the pension." " Bastards." " Yeah." "Watch your back." "A snake pit of politics, that is, but we're stuck with it so we hoped you could help us out, cop to cop." "Yeah." "The little Trekkie." " You hardly made any notes." " You'll learn." " Learn what?" " Self-preservation." "Pick your shots." "If you go all out on every so-called rape you'll wear yourself out." "What do you think of the case?" " There's the whole story." "ONS." " ONS?" "One-night stand." "She's a bookworm type." "If she got a guy she wouldn't know what to do." " What's that got to do with it?" " She gets laid, feels bad, makes up this mysterious stranger who knows intimate details about her..." " Gimme a break!" " So you're saying nothing happened?" "Well, she did get lucky, probably with some pimply little bookworm." " But the rape?" "That's a stretch." " You're pretty sure of yourself." "Morning after regrets." " Well, you know what, Dan?" " What?" "DNA matched her attacker's semen with two other rape victims." "We're filing an arrest warrant on the genetic ID." "So I made a mistake." "Let me buy you a drink." "You've made a solemn case for the certainty with which DNA identifies an individual." "One in seven billion, Your Honour." "It's as specific as having John Doe 121's name, address and number." " Yes, Your Honour." " Why not file warrants on all rapes?" " I'm not following you, Your Honour." " It's the future, right?" "Get a smear of genetic information, file a John Doe and catch the perpetrator." "The People are only applying because of the case's unique circumstances." "But if the court says yes this time, why stop at rapists?" "We could make out arrest warrants for every mugger, turnstile jumper and sidewalk spitter, using little swatches of genetic code." "Your Honour, he raped three women and the statute of limitations on his crimes expires in two days!" "The court understands what a danger he may be, but that does not mean that we can circumvent the law to apprehend him." "The application to file an arrest warrant is denied." "Lois?" " Are you all right?" " 'Fear is the little death." "'It brings total obliteration." "I will face my fear.'" "Sit down." "It's all right." "I was 24." "The biggest thing that had ever happened to me was when Brandon Lee died making the movie The Crow." "My girlfriend and I went to see it again and again because it was beautiful and tragic and we loved it and I was really just still a girl." "I want you to tell me what he did." "OK, erm, the sex wasn't the worst thing." "I'm not queasy about that." "I had even thought about what I would do if I were raped." "It was just something that happened." "But er... it was what he said." "What did he say?" "He knew I liked Brandon and he wanted to talk about The Crow." " He was eavesdropping." " Why did he have to do that?" "I gave him the sex." "I wanted him to just leave." "But he wanted to talk about all the things that were mine." "And I was scared." "And we talked about Brandon and, erm, and then he says," "'You're a sweetheart, Lolly,' and he leaves." "The only person that calls me Lolly is my grandmother." " How does he know that?" " We're trying to find out." "The other two survivors reported a similar experience." "The detective who came before said I should talk to a counsellor." " A rape crisis counsellor?" " No, a shrink!" "Like it didn't happen, like I was crazy." "You're not crazy." "You can help us find the man that did this." "You think someone tapped your telephone, read your mail?" " One of the other women thought so." " No." "He knew things I never said on the phone, like where I Rollerbladed." "Do you think he could have been on a bicycle?" "Yes." "Yes." "A green bicycle, yes." "I told the other detective about that." "He said for a while I'd see every man on the street as the rapist." "No, Lois." "I can assure you... he was real." "I knew it was him, because he was always around and I kept seeing him before, months before he came into my room, but..." "I knew... it was him." "The man on the green bike." " Vicky Kraft?" "Drawing a blank." " She was raped." "You talked to a witness who saw a green bike." " And?" " You billed her for 87 hours at $100 an hour." "A retiree saw a green bicycle." "I thought it was a messenger service." "There was this one, Green Machine Bike Messengers." "Did you interview them?" "It's not in your report." " No." "They'd gone out of business." " The employees didn't disappear." "You're cops." "You've got resources I can only dream about." "I tried." "You think John Doe 121 is a bicycle messenger?" "And stalker." "He followed these women for weeks before he attacked them." " Is he invisible?" " He follows them on his bike." "He watches Creen with her grandma, learns her secret name." "He sees Neal call her dog." "He knows where they go cos he follows them." "Textbook reassurance rapist behaviour." "As a prelude to the rape, you learn their schedules." "When he knows they're home alone, he breaks into their secure buildings by conning them, saying, 'I have a package for you', goes in, rapes them, walks out, rides away." "I order books on the net." "I couldn't describe one of my delivery guys." " Perfect disguise." " I found his old boss." "The owner of the bankrupted Green Machine runs a laundromat." "All my guys wore the jump suit and rode green R500s." " How many employees did you have?" " I dunno." "40 on any given day." "Probably 100 during the business's whole run." "If we gave you addresses could you say if you delivered there?" "It would take a couple of weeks." "Have you a computer?" "We only wanna check five or six addresses." "Whoa..." " These are your records?" " I was a better cyclist" " than businessman." " What happened to your company?" "I forgot to pay all the taxes." "Got busted." "One guy got hurt." "I didn't have the right insurance." "We were good at what we did, but not too good with the paperwork." " Right." "Can we take these?" " Keep them." "If I get audited again I'll say cops took the records." "Perfect excuse." "On the receipts the middle line shows the address." "There isn't time." "The statute runs out in two days." "We just need to know if a messenger was sent to an address." "You know what?" "Let's just look at the billing records." "What was the name of the company where Neal worked?" "Magnitude Insurance Services." "That's what I thought." "Four deliveries the week before her rape." "We got a messenger's name?" "No, but we never asked Neal about a messenger." "It may jog her memory." "Your work took deliveries from Green Machine Bicycle Messengers." " I remember them." " Anything about the messengers?" "I'd rather not say." "We believe he may be the man who attacked you." "I didn't misunderstand you." "I just don't want to answer your question." "Why?" "In five years a lot of things can change." " Yes, they can." " What if..." "I think it's wrong to pursue this." "Maybe it's time to let it drop." "If you're worried about testifying, it probably isn't necessary." "We can make a case on the DNA alone." "That's not it." "This five-year rule..." "Maybe that's a good thing." "You try your best but then you say, 'Time to let it go and move on.'" "The five years aren't even over." "We can still get him." "No." "I don't think you should." "This man raped two other women." " He's still a danger to others." " What if he isn't?" "You know who he is." "Do you?" "We met... by accident." "He didn't recognise me but I recognised him." "I talked to him." " What did you talk about?" " His life." "It wasn't a pretty picture, either." "When I was satisfied that he had changed, I told him who I was." " Why didn't you call the police?" " He wanted to." "I stopped him." "Why?" "He's a changed man." "We prayed together." "You prayed with your rapist." "Yeah." "To turn him in after that would be a betrayal." "I don't know what he told you, but these guys do not change." " He is still a danger." " I disagree." "What religion are you?" "I'm a member of the Society of Friends." " And what's that?" " The Quakers." "We have a long history of pacifism." "We believe that if you sit silently, God will speak to you in your heart." " And you think your attacker was..." " I believe he reformed." " That's for a jury to decide." " No!" "'Love your enemy' is in the Bible." "It's easy to pay lip service to that ideal but very hard to live it." "I know the Quakers created the penal system in this country." "Correct?" "Yes, but it's been perverted beyond recognition." " Prisons are filled with violence." " Maybe they are." "But this is not the arena to fight that fight." "If you want prison reform, join Prison Watch." "You change nothing by protecting a rapist from being prosecuted." " I came to peace with what happened." " But what about his other victims?" "What about the women in this community?" "Don't you feel responsibility towards them?" "I have thought this through." "I'm not turning him in to satisfy some abstract concept of justice..." "This is not abstract, Jennifer." "These women were sexually assaulted and Maced." "And they want their attacker brought to justice." "They wanna know." "You have to at least listen to them." "'Jennifer..." "Can I call you that?" "'" " 'Sure." "Please.' - 'It's not just you he attacked.'" "'He broke into my apartment, and Lois's and probably more.'" " 'I know what you've been through.'" " Tell us his name." "I made a personal spiritual decision." " To keep him all to yourself." " No." "That's not it." "It's better than having him in jail." "He knows you can drop him in it." "It's revenge." "You have the power of life and death over him." " I don't want that kind of power." " But it's true, isn't it?" "So just drop the Lamb-of-God rap and tell us his name." " Lois and I deserve a shot at him." " I just wanna know who he is." "Finding out his name won't give you peace." "I found out." "It changed nothing." "Do the people you work with know you're harbouring a fugitive?" " Those who need to know support me." " Eastern Health Services?" "That's where I work." "One of my companies has 600 employees insured by Eastern." " What are you saying?" " I can't keep my business at a place that employs a betrayer of women." "Ms Kraft, sit down, please." "Who is he?" "Don't you know what it's like, thinking any man could be him?" "I want him to pay for what he did to me!" "Where is he?" "Tell me his name, you stupid bitch!" "Ms Neal, let's go." "Lois, I hope you find peace." "Shut up, you freak!" "Shut up!" " Neal's not gonna talk." " We've got 15 hours." "You tried every form of persuasion?" "Emotional, spiritual, moral..." "Then it's time for legal." "She does not have the right to remain silent." " That's against self-incrimination." " Forget for a second she's a victim." "She is the only witness to a rape." "We'll get a material-witness order." "And make her talk." "We've never forced a rape victim to testify who didn't wanna." "You want this guy to walk?" "Ms Neal, please approach the bench." "You have information necessary to the investigation of a felony." " Yes, Your Honour." " You were raped." "You know the name of the man who assaulted you." " Yes, Your Honour, I do." " Would you tell the court his name?" "I would prefer not to." "I will put you in civil jail unless you cooperate." "His name?" " I respectfully decline to answer." " You have information critical to a criminal investigation." "Refusal to share it constitutes contempt of court." "Report to the Women's House of Detention till this order is revoked." "Bailiff, please remove the prisoner from the court." "Adjourned." "You don't have to do this." "I do." "How do you know what your values are until you're tested?" " Just give me his name." " No." "You're trying to do what you think is right." "So am I. But we disagree." "Are you OK?" "We just sent a rape victim to the lock-up." "No, I'm not OK." " Commissioner Morris?" " Captain, we need to talk." "Please close the door." "You put a rape victim in the lock-up?" " Yeah, we did." " Every effort must be made to ensure the investigation of a crime does not further traumatise the victim." " This is news?" " I know what you're doing." "But I still have to file a letter of complaint." "Who's putting you up to this?" "The victims' rights groups?" "The press?" "The mayor and police commissioner." "I am taking flak from all sides!" "She's our only witness and she won't talk." "Our back is against the wall." "I want to proceed in a way that lets the victim retain her dignity." "You wanna cover your ass in case we don't bust this guy, which is increasingly likely as we have no time left." " I resent the implication..." " I resent you waiting till ComStat" " to tell me about the DNA." " It was in the circular." "You sat on it to make political hay, robbed me of time I could have spent finding the perp." "You are dangerously close to insubordination." " Then either write me up..." " Or what?" "Or get out of my station house!" "Cos until you take this job away from me, I've got work to do." "If we don't find a name for John Doe 121 by midnight, we never will." "After Jennifer was attacked, I counselled her." "My role in the meeting is part time and voluntary." "I'm a psychologist." "Did you advise her not to cooperate with the police?" "No, never." "I know the statistics on recidivism as well as you do." "I tried to persuade her to put the man in prison." " It's not against Quaker philosophy?" " Not at all." "Quakers sit on juries." "Some are judges and lawyers." "Nixon was a Quaker." "He put plenty of people in prison." "Some were even guilty." "Jennifer's in jail because of this." "Do you think you could talk to her?" "I don't agree with what she did, but it was a decision of conscience." "She persuaded me to stand aside." "She prayed with her attacker." "He may be a member of your meeting." "If we could see a list of members we may be able to find him." " I'm sorry." "I can't do that." " Why not?" "This is a sanctuary." "We have a long history of civil disobedience." "We opposed slavery, the Vietnam war..." "We're trying to stop a sexual predator." "I hope you do, but not like that." "If I give you a list, it compromises our members' privacy forever." " We can get a warrant to compel you." " If you have to do that, get your warrant." "But be prepared." "When you return I won't be alone." "Other circumstances, I might be on the steps protesting the police." " I'm very uncomfortable about this." " It's OK." "We're not the bad guys." "Mr Garrick?" "It's Detective Benson." "Please let us in." "Sir, it's NYPD." "We have a search warrant." "Mr Garrick, don't make this more difficult than it has to be." "The office is probably in the back." "I urge you, please, turn around, go back to the police station." "Or sit in worship with us." " Excuse me." " Please, don't do this." "We all value" " the separation of Church and State."
