Don't worry, I'm gonna have a diet cola after every glass.
Promise.

not when there's a possibility of that sergeant's job.
- Mama. - Well, you told me
that Ms. Benson was promoted to lieutenant,

your mom seemed really nice. - Doesn't she?

'Cause my sister, she swears by that.
- That was you? Ah.
That must be our new sergeant.
- Dodds' oldest son, huh?
- Wonder how he got this job.
- Privilege to meet you, Lieutenant.
My father speaks very highly of you.
- You too. We're lucky to have you.
- He's got plenty of experience, Anti-Crime, Crown Heights.
- Okay, Dad. - Before that, Special Forces.
He signed up out of college, right after 9/11.
Can't tell you how proud I am of this kid.
- Yeah, thanks, but I am new to special vics.
I know I have a lot to learn.
- It is... it's a whole different world here.
- Hey, Deputy Chief, sorry to interrupt.
- Detective Rollins, meet Sergeant Dodds.
- How are you? - Hi there.
- What's going on? - Just got a call.
Alessandra Bay, she's the lead violinist
for this group, Belle Donne,
was assaulted in her room last night at the Park Milano.
It's all right if I meet Fin and Carisi down there?
- Aren't you on desk duty, Detective?
- Yes, sir, but it's a four-star hotel.
- Rollins, how about you and Sergeant Dodds stay here,
hold down the fort.
- Better idea, take Mike with you.
- Yeah, no time like the present.
- Okay then.
- Son, sink or swim.
- The vic's name is Alessandra Bay.
The maid found her on the floor.
Hotel security called 911. EMTs are with her right now.
- Are we pulling security footage?
- And the key card logs. - You know what,
head of security here is an old friend of my dad's.
You can tell him Mike Dodds needs that footage ASAP.
- It's taken care of.
- If the vic's conscious,
I can take a statement before she goes to the ER.
- It's called a disclosure.
How about we talk to her together, huh?
- It was late.
I heard banging and yelling outside,
and when I opened the door,
he just charged in.
He was just out of his mind,
grabbing at me.
- What happened next?
- I started screaming at him to stop.
And he, uh, he covered my mouth,
and he just pushed me to the ground.
God, I-I couldn't breathe.
[coughing]
- Let me get you some water. - No, no, no, don't.
There could be DNA.
- Oh, okay.
- Okay.
You okay, Ms. Bay?
- [crying softly] - Okay.
Can you tell me what happened next?
- He... [sniffs]
He threw me to the floor...
Then he raped me,
and then I passed out.
- This man, can you describe him?
- Yes.
Yes, I know him.
It was Anton.
His name is Anton Krasnikov.
He's... he's touring with us.

- Anton Krasnikov?
- Yes? - NYPD.
- You got here fast.
I just called 911.
My flute is missing. - Your flute?
- $50,000 Miyazawa.
Someone ransacked my room while I slept.
My flute is gone.
- Your flute, right, right.
- Tell you what, why don't you come down to the station.
We'll file a report.
[door opens]
- Okay, Mr. Krasnikov,
we put out an APB on your lost flute to all pawn shops.
- Not lost. Stolen.
- Uh-huh. All right, let's retrace last night.
Now, you performed with a violin group, right?
- Yes, Belle Donne, at Denali.
Great audience, thunderous ovation.
- And you brought your flute with you back to the hotel?
- Of course I did, straight to my room.
- What happened after that?
- Went to the bar for a nightcap.
- With the ladies you performed with.
They stay in the same hotel?
- Yes,
but they stick to themselves.
I met a... a fan.
- Fan. Fan got a name?
- Uh, Savannah, maybe.
- Did Savannah come up to your room?
- Listen, I'm a happily married man.
Please, don't write this part down.
She came up for one more drink.
- Okay, we get it.
- Okay, what happened next?
- We had our drink from the minibar.
With the jet lag, I must have fallen asleep.
I woke up. She was gone.
So was my flute.
- And you stayed in your room all night?
You didn't see any women from the quartet?
- No, and I'm not sure what bearing this has on the matter.
- Not even Alessandra Bay?
- Not even her. Why, did someone take her violin?
- She was assaulted. - Oh, my God. What happened?
- We think you know what happened.
- What do you mean?
- Well, she told us that you were the one who attacked her.
- That's ridiculous. She's on a different floor.
- Oh, you know what floor she was on?
- Well, we checked in together.
- You didn't come back together?
You didn't go into her room and rape her?
- Rape her? That's impossible.
Why would someone like me need to rape anyone?
Do you know who I am?
I have 200 performances booked around the world
in the next year. I would never jeopardize that.
- I see. He's a celebrity.
How could he possibly rape anyone?
- The guy is
an internationally-renowned flautist.
I mean, he was honored by the King of Sweden.
He's an ambassador for UN charities.
He's got no record, impeccable reputation.
- Rollins, do you remember your first case here?
It was the Italian diplomat.
- He just... I think if he were guilty, he'd be more guarded.
Just his whole affect doesn't exactly match the profile.
- He may not fit the profile,
but that is his naked, Russian ass
pounding on Alessandra's door at 2:30 in the morning.
He stays 15 minutes,
then he wanders back out again, out of breath,
still naked as a jaybird.
You wanna watch?
- No, I'll take your word for it.
- He is completely out of it.
I mean, he is walking the halls completely naked.
I know she's a victim, but he may be too.
- Okay, so we have to send him to the hospital to get swabbed,
so we'll have them do blood and urine as well.
- I'll secure the room too.
CSU can check it for drug residue.
- Okay. - And prints, maybe off a glass
that she gave him 'cause we need to figure out who this fan
was that he hooked up with. - Yeah. And, Dodds...
- Yeah. - Have your friend in security
pull the footage from Anton's floor.
- On it, Lieutenant.
- Anton wasn't lying about the flute.
It just showed up in a Harlem pawn shop.
- Good. Pawn shops have cameras.
Did they send any footage? - Yeah.

- No doubt.
Dude couldn't remember a thing.

You know last time she set you up.
If you try to help her now,
she's gonna take you down for good,

Especially not with mini-Dodds hovering around.
He'd go straight to his daddy or IAB.

- She hadn't had lunch.
I sent her to get a bite.
- What about the footage?
Maybe Anton can I.D. this girl.
- Well, there's some kind of tech glitch.
It shouldn't be long.
- All right, in the meantime, we know she's a hooker.
If he comes clean on that,
maybe it'll loosen him up.
How long will the DNA take? - Depends.
You know what?
Tell him we already have it.
- Mom, do not lie to me.
Where is Kim?
- Well, honey, how would I know?
- I know you've been in touch with her.
- You sound stressed, and that can't be good for the baby.
- Kim is in the city. There's an APB out on her.
She robbed a john last night.
- APB? John?
I mean, what does that even mean?
- It means you tell her that she either meets me now,
or the cops are gonna take her down,
and, Mama, I know you don't want any headlines
in the paper about your daughter being a prostitute.
Get her to show, okay?
- Well, I'll see what I can do to get a message to her,
all right?
Kim? - Mm.
- Are you in some kind of trouble?
- Oh, please, Mama. You know Amanda.
She's always putting me down, so she can build herself up.
- Well, she sounds pretty upset.
I think you're gonna have to talk to her.
- What?
This is not possible.
- That's not you, Mr. Krasnikov?
- I don't remember this.
- Okay, when you took your fan back to the room,
you had a drink from the minibar.
Now, you remember who poured that?
- Now that you mention it, she did.
I must have been drugged.
- Okay.
But that is you in the picture.
- It is.
But... but rape?
I would never.
[tense music]
Do I need to call a lawyer or someone from my embassy?
- Yeah, you can do that, but listen,
if you're telling the truth, that you got drugged,
then the best thing is to let us take you to the ER,
so we can run some tests.
Also, you're gonna have to tell us
how you got in touch with this escort.
- I don't want my wife to find out.
- We have enough to arrest you right now.
She's definitely gonna find out about that.
If you work with us, we'll try and work with you.
It's your call, Mr. Krasnikov.
- He found her through Craigslist,
paid cash, and used a fake name.
Good luck.
- Luck is the residue of design.
I called the number, booked an afternoon date with Savannah.
I hope I didn't overstep.
- It's just... I'm more interested in closing out the rape case
than I am tracking down some escort.
- If we don't find her, though,
he could claim that NYPD ignored exculpatory evidence.
- Okay. General note, I prefer being kept in the loop.
- My dad says I'm here to take pressure off of you,
but if you're not comfortable delegating,
I can respect that.
- It's day one, so for the time being,
let's... let's check in with each other.
- Kim.
- Wow, Amanda.
You are so big.
- What the hell is going on?
How long have you been in New York?
- You having twins or what?
- Sit down.
Sit down and you're gonna shut up,
and you're gonna listen for the first time in your life.
You are in serious trouble.
- For that warrant, still? - Yeah, that too.
But also that Russian guy that you rolled last night.
- What are you talking about?
- The one whose flute you pawned.
After you drugged him, he came to,
and he raped a woman in his hotel.
- I didn't drug him, and he gave me that flute.
- Stop. Just stop it. - He did.
- It's over, Kim, and I want you to come in with me.
I want you to turn yourself in.
I will get you a good lawyer, but you've got to...

You're wanted for manslaughter in New York,
and you're here turning tricks.
I mean, really? Do you know NYPD has ID'd you?
I've seen you, so you gotta come with me voluntarily,
or I gotta arrest you.

I'm pretty good at disappearing.
Tell Mama I say good-bye.

She's not calling me back. Look, I'm basically Uber.
These girls are independent contractors,
and this one, she's got a mind of her own.
- Why is Sergeant Mike wasting time talking to mini-pimp?
- Because mini-pimp claims
that he can deliver the girl who rolled Anton.
- So what? The DNA reports just came in.
Anton raped Alessandra, so he's done, and we're done.
- Okay, it's Dodds' first week.
I can't shut down every idea that he has.

He just wanted to help me get my life back together,
get me enough to go back to school,

give it to Amanda and the baby.

- Was Mr. Krasnikov sober when he gave you this flute?
- He'd had a few drinks, you know, had a couple pills.
- Pills.
Kim, were those your pills? - No.
He offered, but I don't do drugs.

you are charged with rape in the first degree.
How do you plead?
- My client pleads not guilty, Your Honor.
Mr. Krasnikov was under the influence
of an anesthetic narcotic given to him
without his knowledge or consent by a known criminal.
- An escort he hired.
She denies administering anything to him,
and there were no drugs found in his system.
He was on a sex and drinking binge that turned violent.
- This is a nightmare. I don't remember any of this.
- You'll get your chance to tell that to a jury, sir.
People on bail. - We request remand.
Mr. Krasnikov is an international celebrity
here on a travel visa.
He has ample opportunity and means to flee.
- Mr. Krasnikov is a universally-respected flautist.
He has to travel to play concerts and needs his passport.
- We're not chasing him halfway across the world.
Mr. Krasnikov, you are remanded without bail.
Next case.
- What does that mean?

Wait! Lieutenant,
are people actually gonna buy Anton's drug story?
- I don't know. - But they just said
that there were no drugs found in his system.
- That's true, but... - He knew exactly
what he was doing.
- One thing you don't understand about my sister is that
she doesn't hear anything she doesn't want to hear,
especially coming from me. - I understand.
- So you've made her understand that if she doesn't take a plea,
she's looking at a really long stretch?
- Don't worry, Detective. I've spoken to the ADA.
We're on the same page. - Okay.
Thanks.
- Has Dodds said anything to you all about me and Kim?
- Don't worry about what he says to us.
It's what he says to his dad that matters.
- Welcome back to New York, Ms. Rollins.
I see there's an outstanding warrant on you,
manslaughter in the second degree
in the death of Jeff Parker.
- Oh, no, I can explain that. - Ah, no, shh.
- We are additionally charging Ms. Rollins with grand larceny
in the second degree and assault in the first degree.
However, in exchange for a guilty plea on man two,
the people are prepared to drop the other charges.
- Understood. Ms. Rollins, how do you plead?
[no audible dialogue]
Ms. Rollins?
- Come on. - Is there a problem, Counselor?
We're waiting for your plea.
- Not guilty on all charges, Your Honor.
- This was not my understanding, Your Honor,
but if this is where we are, we will proceed on all charges.
- Very well.
As for bail,
Ms. Rollins has been a fugitive for the last 2 1/2 years.
She is remanded to Rikers while awaiting trial.
- [whispers] Thank you so much.
- She skips out on her warrant,
and now she wants to go to trial?
- My sister, the gift that keeps on giving.
- Can you imagine the headlines? - Carisi.
- Mom.
Mom. Hey.
You got to talk to Kim.
She's making a mistake.
- She is? You're the one who had her arrested,
and you used me to set up my own daughter.
If you hadn't, she'd be safe and sound and out of town.
- If we hadn't found Kim, her pimp could have killed her.
- What are you talking about?
She handled that man just fine.
- No, she did... - Kim can take care of herself.
This was about you. - What are you talking about?
- You chose your work over your family...
- Oh, my God. - Just like you always have.
- Can we not do this now?
- No, let's not do this at all.
- Why, what do you mean? Huh?
- I'm sorry, darling.
I came up here to help you,
but it's quite clear you know what you're doing.
I'd just be in the way.
- Okay, so what, you're gonna leave?
- I'll be back for your sister's trial,
and maybe by then, you will have finally learned
the value of family.
[tense music]

- She's leaving? Now? - Yeah.
Yeah. She'll be back. I mean, she's a drama queen.
Where do you think Kim gets it from?
[coughs]
- Amanda, you okay?
- Yeah. - You sure?
- Yeah.
- No, you're not. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're taking you to a hospital.
- Yeah. - I...
Let's go, guys. - [groans]
- What's taking so long?
She going into labor?
- Somebody would've told us.
- So Rollins' family, huh?
- All families got stuff.
- Yeah, but hers has, like, a lot.
- There she is. - Hey.
- You guys are still here?
- Oh, well, Fin was worried about you.
- Mm. It's nothing to worry about.
My doctor said that my blood pressure spiked, that's all.
[clears throat] Asked if I had been
under any extra stress lately.
- What do you say we drive you home?
- Keep me posted.
Okay, great. Thanks.
- How's Detective Rollins doing?
- She's okay, you know.
Carisi and Fin are with her now.
- You know, she's getting pretty close.
Maybe she should take some time off before she has the baby.
- I can ask.
- And, Mike, everything going well with him?
- He is stepping up.
- Any issues, let me know.
- Okay.
- My dad's checking up on me?
Sorry about that. - Yeah, it's all good.
You mind closing the door?
Have a seat.
So, just so we're clear,
when I told you not to check up on Anton's escort,
I had no idea that that was Rollins' sister.
- No worries. That's not my business.
- I really did find out the same time you did,
and as for Rollins and Fin,
I've spoken to them,
and I will be continuing to speak to them.
- Go easy.
Family's complicated.
Look, I know everybody's worried that I'm the boss' son,
and they're saying they have to watch themselves around me.
- Nobody's saying that.
- Right.
I just want you to know,
what happens at SVU
stays at SVU.
You have my word.
- Okay.
[lock buzzes] [gate opens]
- Amanda, you came.
Oh. - I'm due at work, Kim.
What do you want? - For you to know
that everything is gonna be all right.
- Why? 'cause you...
You batted your eyelashes at that lawyer?
He's gonna be your savior now?
- Well, Lorenzo wants to go to trial,
but I called him off. - Lorenzo?
- Yeah, Lorenzo Desappio.
Isn't that perfect?
You were right about him.
He is just the loveliest man.
- Okay, your point, Kim?
- Well, I told him that I couldn't
put you through all that stress. - [chuckles]
- Now you can't put me through stress?
- I don't want you to have to testify.
Don't be mad, but, uh...
Lorenzo said a lot of stuff when he met with the DA.
- What kind of stuff?
- Like how you didn't tell your boss that you'd ID'd me,
or that I was even in town...
also, our personal history, you know,
our cycle of abuse
and how you were raped on the job
and your gambling addiction.
All that stuff would've come up during the trial.
- Right.
I don't know, Kim, you do what you have to.
You always have. - It's fine.
Lorenzo is sure that we can work out some kind of a...
Oh, what did he call it?
A one-size-fits-all plea, on Slice and on that old warrant
and especially if I cooperate and testify against Anton.
I mean, what he did to that poor woman is...
And if everything goes as planned,
Lorenzo thinks I might be out in under a year.
- That's not gonna happen, Kim.
- Well, either way, he says he'll wait for me.
- Come again?
- I think Lorenzo's gonna ask me to marry him.
Wouldn't that be something?
Like Mama says,
everything works out in the end.
