Detectives Briscoe and Curtis investigate the severe beating of George Harding, who is found under a bridge in Riverside Park. This is the second beating for Harding in less than a week, but he refuses to cooperate with the investigation. Harding works as an attendant at a psychiatric hospital and when patient Leslie Russo told her brothers Joe and Frank Russo that he had raped her, they administered the beatings. The hospital says they conducted a thorough investigation and found no evidence that Leslie had been raped, let alone by Harding. When they learn there was a rape investigation at another hospital where Harding worked, they find that Wendy Singer, a comatose patient, is several months pregnant. They are now certain they can get a conviction against Harding, but when ADA Jamie Ross catches Wendy's mother in several lies, she realizes that much more is going on.
