- Olivia Benson: So, Dodds told me to check the paperwork, but, no, it is not a mistake. As of midnight tonight, our Sonny Carisi...
- Odafin Tutuola: Is passing over to the dark side.
- Olivia Benson: [laughter] Will be bringing his charm and his expertise to the D.A.'s Special Victims Unit under Bureau Chief Hadid. Cheers.
- William Dodds: He's your problem now.
- Vanessa Hadid: Thank you, Chief Dodds and Lieutenant Benson. I'm sure the NYPD's loss will be the D.A.'s gain. And if it isn't... I understand there's a 90-day return policy.
- Amanda Rollins: Your name's Carisi and you're pulling an Irish goodbye?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: I didn't want anybody to make a fuss or anything, so...
- Amanda Rollins: Mission accomplished. How you feeling?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: I'm nervous. Had to turn in my gun today. This... this whole thing is a big leap. It's... it's risky, but if I don't make this move now, I'm...
- Amanda Rollins: Yeah, I hear you. Hey, uh, before you leave me, one last drink?
- Olivia Benson: So, the new bureau chief, Hadid, she seem a little... reluctant to you?
- William Dodds: More like astute. This case blows up, it won't touch her.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah. Well, at least she put Carisi on the case. He's one of us.
- William Dodds: Was. He works here now.
- Olivia Benson: Counselor, you're cutting it close here. Are we doing this or not?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: No, not tonight. Flag on the play.
- Odafin Tutuola: I called it.
- Olivia Benson: Carisi, what the hell is going on?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: All I know is word came down from the eighth floor to slow things down.
- Olivia Benson: Son of a bitch. I don't know what kind of hooks he has, he's not getting away with this.
- Vanessa Hadid: Sir Tobias Moore? Mr. Carisi's first day, my first month. You couldn't bring us a subway groper?
- William Dodds: Welcome to the big top, counselors.
- Vanessa Hadid: This story hasn't leaked yet?
- William Dodds: The longer we wait...
- Vanessa Hadid: The girl, she's credible?
- Olivia Benson: Very. Her name is Pilar Reyes. She's 20, naïve. She came up from Venezuela. She disclosed immediately after she was assaulted.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: No witnesses?
- Olivia Benson: No, he made sure that the office was empty.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: So not his first audition?
- Olivia Benson: Unlikely, but we're doing due diligence.
- William Dodds: We need warrants for the screen tests, his couch, his whole office.
- Vanessa Hadid: Hang on. We do that and he's gonna lawyer up faster than you can say DSK. Work the case a little more. Vet Pilar.
- Olivia Benson: She's not making this up, counselor.
- Vanessa Hadid: I didn't say she was, but he will. Mr. Carisi will be the riding ADA on this. Keep him involved every step of the way.
- Olivia Benson: So, I heard you stepped down.
- Judge Elana Barth: It was my decision. Ending my marriage wasn't, but two kids in college, it was either private practice or public bankruptcy.
- Olivia Benson: Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Judge Elana Barth: No, no, no, it's fine. It's great to be back on the front lines, and to get paid for it.
- Olivia Benson: There we go. So, what brings you here?
- Judge Elana Barth: One of my clients called to tell me that you interviewed him without informing him he was the focus of an investigation.
- Olivia Benson: [taken aback] You're working for Sir Toby Moore?
- Judge Elana Barth: I am.
- Olivia Benson: I see.
- Judge Elana Barth: And now I've informed you that he has counsel.
- Odafin Tutuola: Packing? You going somewhere?
- Pilar Reyes: My agent said if I don't want trouble, I should get out of town. I already overstayed my visa.
- Amanda Rollins: You're an NYPD material witness. You don't have to worry about any of that.
- Amanda Rollins: This is the dress you wore the night he attacked you?
- Gemma Brooks: I know it's crazy, but I saved it.
- William Dodds: [watching with Benson] Does Sir Toby know she's here?
- Olivia Benson: No, but he's been ahead of us so far. So, call Carisi in?
- William Dodds: Hold off. Keep this under wraps until we can get Sir Toby's DNA.
- Olivia Benson: I already have it. I took his glass from our drink at the bar.
- William Dodds: Test the dress. When it's a match, pick him up.
- Olivia Benson: Then we're good to go?
- William Dodds: We're NYPD. We arrest people all the time without the D.A. signing off.
- Olivia Benson: You okay?
- William Dodds: The powers that be have decided that I can't be trusted to work with the D.A.'s office going forward.
- Olivia Benson: What does that mean?
- William Dodds: I'm being sent to Coventry. As of Monday morning, I'll be riding point for the Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Task Force... on Staten Island.
- Olivia Benson: No, no, no, they can't do that.
- William Dodds: Feathers were ruffled, so a head has to roll.
- Olivia Benson: I-I will call the press. I will call 1PP. I will call whoever I have to. This is ridiculous.
- William Dodds: Liv, let it go. I've had a good run. And it's not time for you to stick your neck out.
- Olivia Benson: I'll be the judge of that.
- William Dodds: No! You've still got work to do, and gas in the tank. It'd be a wasted sacrifice... Captain.
- [Liv is surprised]
- William Dodds: I made it a condition of my exile. Don't worry about me. I'll be back.
- Olivia Benson: You're a good man, William Dodds.
- William Dodds: You are a class act, Olivia Benson. Long may you run.
- Olivia Benson: Ms. Hadid. I like what I'm hearing.
- Vanessa Hadid: You're up early on a Sunday morning. You can't be here just to flatter me.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Special Investigations. Elegant woman like you, I bet you got some stories, eh?
- Olivia Benson: I have a few.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Ever think of turning them into a series, you know where I am. I can foresee a great second act for you.
- Olivia Benson: I'm quite happy with my first act. Not quite ready for the second.
- Olivia Benson: You drove the victim over from the 11?
- Uni Jones: Pilar Reyes. Says she was assaulted by some media bigwig, and my sergeant told me after the Weinstein mess not to put his name on the radio.
- Olivia Benson: Thank you. What's his name?
- Uni Jones: [checking his notes] His name's Sir Tobias... Toa-bee-us...
- Amanda Rollins: Sir Tobias Moore? From Picflix. He just moved to New York ahead of Brexit.
- Uni Jones: The girl was crying so hard in the car, I thought I might have to take her to the hospital.
- Pilar Reyes: His people are checking me out? What does that mean?
- Olivia Benson: It means that we have to stay ahead of Sir Toby, Pilar. He's gonna try to dig up any dirt that he can on you.
- Pilar Reyes: There's nothing to find. I... I lived with my mother before I came here.
- Amanda Rollins: [knocking on the door] Liv, um, you have a visitor.
- Olivia Benson: I'll be right back.
- [following Amanda out]
- Olivia Benson: What do you got?
- Amanda Rollins: Just shut up.
- Odafin Tutuola: So, no arrest warrant.
- Olivia Benson: She wants to take it step by step.
- William Dodds: She's covering her ass.
- Amanda Rollins: Yeah, maybe not a bad idea, 'cause I've been tracking Sir Toby. MeToo lists, blind items, blogs, all over the Internet.
- Olivia Benson: Any arrests?
- Amanda Rollins: No, that's the thing. The charges don't get dropped. They never even get filed. Or the victims suddenly recant.
- Odafin Tutuola: He rapes them, then he pays them off.
- Olivia Benson: Probably, which means that he's gonna go right for Pilar. Listen, you two keep digging. Call Carisi in.
- William Dodds: Where are you going?
- Olivia Benson: Hadid told us she wants us to work the case. It won't hurt to go right at the target.
- Odafin Tutuola: [at Sir Toby's movie premiere] Where the hell's Carisi?
- Amanda Rollins: He'll be here.
- Olivia Benson: [on her phone] Well, there's nothing on TMZ. That's a miracle.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: I know I'm a long way from doing a trial, but... I'm not gonna lie. It's not like I didn't practice Barba's summations in front of a mirror.
- Odafin Tutuola: Nice basket.
- Pilar Reyes: It got here right before you did.
- Odafin Tutuola: [reading the card] "Lovely to meet you. Hope we get to work together soon. All the best, Sir Toby." He left his number. Did you call him?
- Pilar Reyes: No! He makes me sick.
- Amanda Rollins: Pilar, this means that he's worried. Okay, you could call him, you could... you could arrange a meeting. Listen, we would have eyes on you the entire time.
- Pilar Reyes: I don't want to see him again.
- Odafin Tutuola: Yes, you do.
- Judge Elana Barth: [releasing Sir Toby from jail] I came as soon as I heard. They completely disregarded all protocol.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Did they?
- [turning to Benson]
- Sir Tobias Moore: Why would you do that? The D.A. already dismissed that young girl's casting couch story as fantasy.
- Olivia Benson: Well, it turns out that a number of other women came forward with additional accusations.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Oh, a number. Sounds like a MeToo witch hunt. No names, Olivia? No? Oh, and how's the judge supposed to represent me if we don't know what the charge is?
- Olivia Benson: The charge is rape. In the first degree. Standard Hotel. The woman said that people could see it from the High Line.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Gemma.
- [turning back to Elana]
- Sir Tobias Moore: How the hell did they get to her? Hmm?
- Sir Tobias Moore: Sergeant Tutuola, right?
- Odafin Tutuola: Can't talk to you. You're lawyered up.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Ah, it's a shame. Black sergeant working with the old boy network of the NYPD. I bet you got some stories to tell, eh?
- Odafin Tutuola: Not to you.
- Amanda Rollins: This one's scared, this one is out of our jurisdiction.
- Odafin Tutuola: This woman right here, Nina, she had an audition with him on Tuesday and signed her NDA on Saturday.
- Amanda Rollins: Well, Carisi told me that Pilar has got a lawyer now. Her NDA's in the works.
- Odafin Tutuola: Well, that's that. I'll tell Liv.
- Judge Elana Barth: My client, now.
- Olivia Benson: Oh, he's all yours.
- Judge Elana Barth: Nice stunt, Lieutenant.
- Olivia Benson: Thank you.
- Judge Elana Barth: You know, you knew he had counsel. Courtesy would've been to arrange his arrest through me.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Good evening, counselor. Don't get your knickers in a twist. These bizzies are only doing their job.
- William Dodds: You believe her story?
- Olivia Benson: I do. We have taken turns interviewing her for the last four hours. She has specific details, consistent, has never worked with him since. Now, Gemma did sign a non-disclosure agreement, but she's willing to swear that it was coerced.
- William Dodds: And she just walked in?
- Olivia Benson: Well, she heard that we were investigating Sir Toby from another actress.
- Odafin Tutuola: Gemma played us.
- Olivia Benson: Oh, not just Gemma. Sir Toby. That tape that Barth handed us was his Trojan horse.
- William Dodds: You told me you vetted her.
- Olivia Benson: I took the disclosure myself. She's not making this up. We even confirmed her outcry to friends. She's telling the truth.
- Amanda Rollins: Part of it.
- William Dodds: So what's she doing now?
- Amanda Rollins: She wouldn't be the first vic to start a consensual relationship with her rapist in order to gain some sense of control.
- William Dodds: Try explaining that to a jury.
- Olivia Benson: He's flipping the script on her.
- Amanda Rollins: What's her signal word?
- Olivia Benson: Bastard. Her idea.
- Olivia Benson: Katriona Tamin.
- Katriona Tamin: Call me Kat. It's faster.
- Odafin Tutuola: Is it cool to talk here?
- Katriona Tamin: I grew up around here. Everyone knows I'm on the job.
- Olivia Benson: Okay. So, Vice gave you the rundown?
- Katriona Tamin: I watched the tape. Read all the DD5s. Looks like you didn't upload everything. Should I check the spirals?
- Odafin Tutuola: Just more of the same.
- Vanessa Hadid: ADA Carisi and I want to thank the NYPD for helping our office send a message that it doesn't matter how rich or powerful you are, sexual assault will not be tolerated in New York City.
- Olivia Benson: [watching on TV, to the bartender] Joe, please. Can you turn this down?
- William Dodds: She can turn on a dime. Give her that.
- Olivia Benson: Well, she's back on our side for now, and at least Carisi's safe. It's all good.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: What are you guys doing here?
- Amanda Rollins: It's your first arraignment. We wouldn't miss it.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Well, spoiler alert. Sir Toby's gonna get bail, and then it's gonna be a motion a day for ten months.
- Olivia Benson: Look, these guys believe that they can't be held accountable, but... you need to take him down.
- Olivia Benson: I am following up on a tip that you have been targeted in a shakedown.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Occupational hazard. Where'd this tip come from?
- Olivia Benson: You know I can't reveal my sources.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Come on, luv. Give me a hint. There's lots of heat-seeking missiles around here.
- Olivia Benson: Look, I'll give you this. It hit here.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Ahh, young actress. Pilar. Wanted something from me. When I wouldn't give it to her, she threatened me. But you know this story.
- Olivia Benson: I'm just trying to get to the truth.
- Sir Tobias Moore: You're the rape police. What is this young girl claiming?
- Olivia Benson: She's claiming that you assaulted her.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Well, she's lying. You know that.
- Olivia Benson: That was my take. Look... if you come with me right now, I'm sure we can clear this whole thing up.
- Sir Tobias Moore: I also was not born yesterday. Seems to me like this young girl is the one you should be checking on.
- Olivia Benson: We want an arrest warrant.
- Vanessa Hadid: Have you developed new information?
- Olivia Benson: Aside from the controlled-meet tape? You heard his tone on that.
- Vanessa Hadid: What I heard was Sir Toby accusing her of extortion. If Mr. Carisi and I had had the chance to prep your victim...
- William Dodds: Oh, here we go. So this is about turf.
- Vanessa Hadid: She might have been able to elicit more specific admissions.
- Olivia Benson: She did fine.
- Vanessa Hadid: She sounded emotional.
- Olivia Benson: Excuse me? After what she'd been through? Who she was up against?
- Vanessa Hadid: The point is, can she stand up to him, his legal team?
- William Dodds: You want a stronger case, then get us search warrants for his office.
- Vanessa Hadid: How about we subpoena her audition tape? I can sell that upstairs.
- Sir Tobias Moore: You seem a little nervous.
- Pilar Reyes: I am. After what happened.
- Sir Tobias Moore: What do you mean? At the audition? No, don't be so hard on yourself, eh?
- Pilar Reyes: Me?
- Sir Tobias Moore: Yeah. Don't be so hard on yourself. I mean, everybody's nervous the first time. Could, uh... could give you another shot at it.
- Pilar Reyes: Another... audition, like, in your office?
- Sir Tobias Moore: Well, now you've had time to think about it, and realize what it takes to get the part.
- Pilar Reyes: I guess so.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Well, that's brilliant. I've got a suite upstairs with a camera in it. Shall we, eh?
- Pilar Reyes: Mm-hmm.
- Olivia Benson: [watching with Fin] Where is she going?
- Odafin Tutuola: I told her to stay in the lounge.
- Gemma Brooks: Is one of you Sergeant Tutuola?
- Odafin Tutuola: That's me.
- Gemma Brooks: My name's Gemma Brooks. I'm an actress. You spoke to one of my friends today about Sir Toby. She can't talk, but I can.
- Monica Belasio: He got kind of grabby. I left, went up to my room.
- Amanda Rollins: Okay.
- Monica Belasio: Turns out his room happened to adjoin mine. He came in in this silk robe and... ugh, he wouldn't take no for an answer.
- Amanda Rollins: Was this in New York?
- Monica Belasio: No, South by Southwest in Austin.
- Amanda Rollins: Okay. And you still auditioned for him?
- Monica Belasio: I've seen actresses so traumatized by him, they leave the business.
- Amanda Rollins: You have friends this happened to?
- Amanda Rollins: The scenes always end before he makes his move.
- Odafin Tutuola: He knows how to edit.
- Olivia Benson: Right. So there's five auditions, all with a blurred line between coercion and direction.
- Amanda Rollins: Lieutenant, we know how this goes. So does Sir Toby. I mean, he's so used to being above the law. He didn't even remove the footage from his other victims.
- Odafin Tutuola: 'Cause he knows they're not gonna talk. He's taunting us.
- Olivia Benson: And maybe he just overplayed his hand. Find out if any of these women will come forward.
- Olivia Benson: And you said that this happened five years ago?
- Gemma Brooks: Uh-huh. We met at a party. He said he had a script for me in his room.
- Odafin Tutuola: The hotel, do you remember the name?
- Gemma Brooks: No, but, um... I remember there was a wall of glass overlooking the High Line. He, uh... he pushed me against it. I... I remember people watching while he raped me.
- Olivia Benson: Tobias Moore.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Olivia.
- Olivia Benson: You're under arrest.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Am I? And you brought cuffs, too. How lovely, eh? So where are we going?
- Odafin Tutuola: SVU.
- Cindy Morrison: I'll call Ms. Barth.
- Sir Tobias Moore: And all the rest.
- Pilar Reyes: He sent his assistant home. It was just us. He said he wanted to tape me. I'm so stupid. I should have just left.
- Olivia Benson: No, it's not stupid, Pilar. He's a very powerful man.
- Pilar Reyes: He... poured me a few drinks. He said I needed to... to relax, and then... he made me take my blouse off.
- Amanda Rollins: Made you?
- Pilar Reyes: He yelled at me. So I did what he said. And right away, his hands were all over me. I said no, but he got angry, and he pushed me on the couch. And he took out his, um... his... his thing and he said, "Come on, you're a... you're a big girl." And I kicked him.
- Olivia Benson: And he let you go?
- Pilar Reyes: He blocked my way. And he forced me to watch him while he... while he finished. All over the couch. The lampshade.
- Olivia Benson: [arresting Sir Toby] You find this amusing?
- Sir Tobias Moore: I do, actually. There's nothing as funny as watching a beautiful woman make the biggest mistake of her life.
- Judge Elana Barth: Is this Ms. Reyes? Sir Toby is aware of how easy it is these days to target prominent men, so I would be especially skeptical of this one.
- Olivia Benson: She's very credible.
- Judge Elana Barth: Is she? There are rumors that she was working as a prostitute in Caracas.
- Olivia Benson: And I can guess who started those.
- Judge Elana Barth: If it's out there, we'll find it. Oh, I almost forgot. Ms. Hadid told me that she was gonna subpoena the girl's audition tape. You could've just asked.
- Olivia Benson: And you're just gonna hand this over?
- Judge Elana Barth: More than that. It's the last five women that auditioned for Sir Toby, ending in Ms. Reyes, and from the looks of it, she's a much better actress with you than she is on camera.
- Gemma Brooks: My name is Gemma Brooks. I've been a friend of Sir Toby Moore's for over five years. Though we've never worked together, he's been a mentor to me. And friend. Over time, our friendship turned into something more, a secret but consensual affair.
- Olivia Benson: [watching on TV] Oh, God, I can't...
- Nina Phelps: Actually, I can't talk about this. You got to me too late.
- Odafin Tutuola: Excuse me?
- Nina Phelps: I am literally not allowed to talk.
- Odafin Tutuola: And who told you to say that, Sir Toby's lawyer?
- Nina Phelps: I can't talk about that, either.
- Odafin Tutuola: What can you talk about?
- Amelia James: It's a long time ago. I was still in school.
- Olivia Benson: Amelia, please, if I could just... if I could just ask you what you do remember, I'd be so grateful.
- Amelia James: He was producing a film in New York. I took a job babysitting his grandkids. I thought it'd be a good way to get to know him.
- Olivia Benson: Okay. Amelia, please. I need you to tell me.
- Amelia James: He offered to walk me home. And when we got to my door... he groped my breasts. I burst out into tears. He left. And then two days later, he asked me to babysit again.
- Olivia Benson: And when was this?
- Amelia James: [crying] It feels like it was yesterday. I must have been 18 at the time. I dropped out of acting school after that. I knew I didn't have what it takes.
- Olivia Benson: Amelia... would you be willing to testify?
- Amelia James: I could never do that. I'm sorry.
- Amanda Rollins: Gemma, you need to know that when you do file charges, he will do anything he can to...
- Gemma Brooks: I know. That's how he keeps getting away with this. I can't let him do to one more woman what he did to me.
- Vanessa Hadid: You're telling me your friends at NYPD didn't give you notice? Tell me why I shouldn't fire you right now.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Ms. Hadid, I'm between a rock and a hard place here. They know you're my boss. They kept me in the dark as much as they did you.
- Vanessa Hadid: The main reason I hired you was because you have a history with these people.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: I do, and all due respect, they didn't feel the office was serious about pursuing Sir Toby.
- Vanessa Hadid: [sardonic chuckle] This does not end well.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: For what it's worth, they have a case.
- Vanessa Hadid: Do they?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: There's a pattern to his assaults. Late night auditions in his office and hotel rooms. At least a dozen women that we know of.
- Vanessa Hadid: A dozen? Within the statute of limitations? In our jurisdiction? How many do they really have?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: They have one. For now. But she's solid.
- Vanessa Hadid: [her phone buzzes] Tell me her name isn't Gemma Brooks.
- Odafin Tutuola: We should've picked him up at his office.
- Olivia Benson: Dodds said to keep it quiet. He doesn't want the press to find out before he can tell Hadid.
- Odafin Tutuola: [seeing Sir Toby's SUV pull up] Let's do this.
- Sir Tobias Moore: This is a farce. Pure entrapment. I'll be out in an hour.
- Olivia Benson: Not a chance.
- Sir Tobias Moore: Who are you really angry at, Olivia, huh? Your uncle, daddy, or just all men, eh?
- Tabloid Reporter #1: Sir Toby, you do this one?
- Sir Tobias Moore: Absolutely not.
- Tabloid Reporter #2: Toby, they have you on film this time?
- Sir Tobias Moore: Pictures lie. I should know. It's my business, eh?
- Sir Tobias Moore: You little skank. You set me up, did you, eh?
- Katriona Tamin: Yeah, not so green after all, huh?
- Sir Tobias Moore: [to Benson] You really are a stupid bitch. Do you really know who you're dealing with?
- Olivia Benson: Get him out of here.
- Odafin Tutuola: What's up, Carisi? She fired you already?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: I'm hanging on by a thread.
- William Dodds: [his phone buzzes] Oh, we all are. And that's the commissioner. Excuse me.
- Katriona Tamin: This guy's a real piece of crap, isn't he?
- Olivia Benson: He is a serial predator, and he knows how to pick his vics and he knows how to manipulate them.
- Katriona Tamin: Played you guys pretty bad, too, huh?
- Olivia Benson: He did. But not just us. You should know that this guy is connected to the D.A.'s office, to City Hall, D.C.
- Katriona Tamin: Harder they come, harder they fall. What's my play?
- Olivia Benson: Aspiring local actress. La Guardia High.
- Katriona Tamin: Where I went.
- Olivia Benson: That's why I chose it. So you are thrilled to meet, maybe even audition for the great man.
- Katriona Tamin: Uh, like what he did to the Venezuelan girl? Isn't that the rap he just beat?
- Odafin Tutuola: Yeah, it is. He can't help himself.
- Katriona Tamin: Yeah, a junkie's gotta score. You wire his office?
- Olivia Benson: So, he keeps a hotel room in Midtown. The good news is that his assistant is cooperating with us. We'll be across the hall. Pull you out before it gets too rough.
- Katriona Tamin: Don't do that.
- Olivia Benson: Excuse me?
- Katriona Tamin: You want to get this guy, make sure you got him. Let him rough me up a little, rip my blouse. I'll signal for when you can come in. I can take care of myself.
