- Amanda Rollins: Oh, my feet have not hurt this bad since I waited tables.
- Olivia Benson: I had no idea. When did you wait tables?
- Amanda Rollins: Oh, I was sixteen. Aunt Betty's Cabin. Best chicken-fried steak you've ever had. You know, truth be told, none of this culinary grab-ass surprises me.
- Olivia Benson: You were assaulted.
- Amanda Rollins: Well, one of my regulars wanted a little extra sugar with his coffee. Instead he ended up with a raw steak on his eye.
- Olivia Benson: Good for you.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: We checked Boykin's phone, and he was talking to his wife until the ride ended.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, what about his Uber app?
- Odafin Tutuola: She got picked up at 3:39 a.m. in front of 300 Orchard Street.
- Amanda Rollins: [running a search] Which is a restaurant on the Lower East Side. Far Rockaway by Andrew.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, it's a high-end seafood joint. I actually took a date there once. Set me back a couple hundred bucks, but...
- Amanda Rollins: Was it worth it?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Every cent.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, so cut Boykin loose and check it out.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: All three women reported, but not a single arrest was made.
- Peter Stone: Was there any corroboration? Witnesses? Rape kits?
- Odafin Tutuola: If Liebowitz would have done this in Manhattan, we'd have his ass in a 6x8 cell.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Now, the only constant was this ADA, Chris Hodges. He caught all three cases, but he declined to prosecute each time.
- Peter Stone: What do we know about him?
- Odafin Tutuola: Boy wonder prosecutor in Brooklyn. Big in the Me Too movement.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, he runs some kind of victims advocacy group.
- Odafin Tutuola: Rumor is he's gunning to run for Kings County D.A.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Service! Service!
- [throwing a utensil to get his waiter's attention]
- Andrew Liebowitz: Marco, you little putz! When I say "service", that plate better fly off this counter. Is that clear?
- Lizzy Walczak: The PPX at table fourteen are getting antsy.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Mmm.
- [picking up plates of food]
- Andrew Liebowitz: Come on.
- Lizzy Walczak: [heading into the dining area] Brian Matthews and Niraj Patel. They produce that new kids' cooking show on the Food Network.
- Andrew Liebowitz: And about five other things.
- Lizzy Walczak: Mm-hmm.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Time to show them love.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Welcome to Far Rockaway by Andrew, gentlemen. Broad Channel prawn on artisinal polenta...
- Brian Matthews: Ooh, looks wonderful.
- Andrew Liebowitz: ...and octopus with deconstructed coleslaw.
- Brian Matthews: Oh, looks fantastic, Chef.
- Niraj Patel: Oh, and that fluke crudo blew us away, man. It was great.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Just wait 'till dessert. There's a three-berry shortcake that'll give you both wood.
- Noah: What are these black things?
- Olivia Benson: They're olives.
- Noah: Yuck.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, you can push 'em aside. But Noah, remember, we talked about this. Remember we talked about it being time for you to start trying and eating new things?
- Noah: I want pizza.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, well, maybe tomorrow night. But for now, how 'bout we eat tonight's dinner? Try it. You're gonna like 'em. They're great.
- [he tastes one and spits it out in disgust]
- Olivia Benson: Hey! Noah.
- Noah: I want pizza!
- Darius Moore: To big tips at the bar and in the bedroom.
- Kayla Morgan: Cheers to that.
- Kayla Morgan, Darius Moore: [downing their shots and wincing] Mmm.
- Kayla Morgan: No more tequila for me. If I have any more of this, I'm gonna end up taking Marco home.
- Kayla Morgan: Look, I already told the other detectives, I don't remember much about what happened.
- Olivia Benson: Did the Uber driver try something?
- Kayla Morgan: No, I... I don't think so.
- Amanda Rollins: Patrol said that he was on top of you when they arrived, that you were fighting him off.
- Kayla Morgan: I'm sorry. I guess I passed out in the back of his car, okay? He startled me. Do I need a lawyer?
- Amanda Rollins: Don't worry about that right now.
- Olivia Benson: Detective Rollins and I are worried about you, Kayla. Do you remember what happened before you got into the Uber?
- Kayla Morgan: Not really. I just wanna go home.
- Kayla Morgan: Look, I'm not a victim.
- Olivia Benson: I think maybe you were, Kayla.
- Kayla Morgan: The Uber guy didn't do anything, okay?
- Olivia Benson: Well, somebody did
- Kayla Morgan: Is he pressing charges?
- Olivia Benson: I don't think so.
- Kayla Morgan: Okay, great. So, I'm leaving.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Did Andrew ever take anything from you?
- Lauren: Take anything?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, like, uh, an article of clothing.
- Lauren: Oh. My thong. How did you know that?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Because unfortunately, Lauren, you weren't alone.
- Lauren: That's even worse. I'm stuck working in this dive bar because Andrew blacklisted me, and he's walking around a free man?
- Peter Stone: I'm Peter Stone. I'm with the Manhattan D.A.
- ADA Hodges: Ben's kid, right?
- Peter Stone: Right.
- ADA Hodges: I saw your father speak at a few CLE programs.
- Peter Stone: Yeah, he, uh... he loved a captive audience.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Andrew Liebowitz, stand up. Put your hands behind your back.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Whoa, what's wrong with you? I'm still out on bail.
- Peter Stone: Yeah, not anymore.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, your pal here was wearing a wire.
- Andrew Liebowitz: You son of a bitch.
- Olivia Benson: Well, you're next, counselor.
- ADA Hodges: Well, you believe that scumbag?
- Olivia Benson: I believe Bethany. Your little rape partner corroborated her.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Don't you dare come near me. Don't you dare touch me.
- Odafin Tutuola: I'm gonna do more than that if you don't put your hands behind your back.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Separate cars?
- Odafin Tutuola: Yeah, that's a good idea.
- [last lines]
- Amanda Rollins: Kayla.
- Olivia Benson: Hey. I tried to call you. The new sex crimes prosecutor in Brooklyn is re-opening all the old cases against Liebowitz.
- Kayla Morgan: [surprised chuckle] Wow.
- [handing Benson a doggy bag]
- Kayla Morgan: Um, I brought you this. It's a thank you. Ossobuco. It's the house specialty at Prospero, where I'm newly employed.
- Amanda Rollins: That's great, Kayla.
- Olivia Benson: Congratulations.
- Kayla Morgan: So, um, when does Andrew get out of prison?
- Olivia Benson: If the new prosecutor's any good, he won't.
- Michael Boykin: I didn't do anything to that girl.
- Odafin Tutuola: Then why'd she tee off on you?
- Michael Boykin: Ask her. I'm the victim here!
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, well, those officers seemed to think that she was pretty pissed off at you about something.
- Michael Boykin: I barely touched her.
- Odafin Tutuola: You tore her blouse!
- Michael Boykin: She's saying I did that?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Well, let's... let's just assume that she did.
- Michael Boykin: Then she's a liar! Wait, you think I tried to rape her? I... I'll give you a DNA. Take... take a lie detector, anything!
- Andrew Liebowitz: You guys wanna try a Montrachet? I spent two months in Cote de Beaune studying the terroir. This bottle was the pinnacle of organic viticulture. Plus, it's kosher.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: You know what? We're on duty.
- Andrew Liebowitz: That's too bad. This stuff goes for $800 a bottle.
- Odafin Tutuola: Hit me.
- [Andy serves him a glass, and he takes a sip]
- Odafin Tutuola: Tastes like warm apple juice.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Hints of Granny Smith. I'll put that in my tasting notes.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Okay, so what did Kayla do after she was done helping you down here?
- Andrew Liebowitz: You gotta try this Vermentino.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Hey, excuse me. Can we just get a minute of your undivided attention, please?
- Andrew Liebowitz: I love cops. You guys are solid citizens. Not like these hedge fund pricks and airhead models that I have to deal with in this place. I'm all about authenticity; it's why I started Far Rockaway. And it all began with a glass of Manischewitz and a plate of gefilte fish in my mother's kitchen in Queens.
- Odafin Tutuola: Well, how about this for authenticity: we have reason to believe Kayla was sexually assaulted here last night.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, and you were the last person that she was with.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Wait a minute. Is she saying that I...
- [short laugh]
- Andrew Liebowitz: Oh... that's what this is about?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Well, why don't you tell us? I mean, what happened down here?
- Andrew Liebowitz: She asked me to pop a bottle, and I told her that I couldn't stop staring at her ass all night.
- Odafin Tutuola: Interesting way to treat your employee.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Then things got hot, okay? Consensual sex.
- Odafin Tutuola: Yeah, well, when we found her, it didn't look consensual to us.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Are you kidding me? Oh, she was begging for it. I banged her up against a crate of Bordeaux.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Did you also rip her shirt open?
- Andrew Liebowitz: I buy the damn shirts. Look, this was not the first time that we screwed, even. If she's claiming that I raped her, this is some kind of shakedown.
- Kayla Morgan: You talked to Andrew?
- Odafin Tutuola: It's our job.
- Kayla Morgan: Well, I could lose my job over this, okay? I make six figures at that restaurant.
- Amanda Rollins: But is Andrew Leibowitz the one that assaulted you?
- Kayla Morgan: No! I... it's not like that.
- Amanda Rollins: Have a seat.
- Kayla Morgan: It wasn't all rose petals and fireworks, if that's what you're asking, but I am handling it.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Andrew said that it wasn't the first time that you two had...
- Kayla Morgan: Okay, once at the Christmas party last year, but that was a mistake.
- Amanda Rollins: But the other night, did he force you?
- Kayla Morgan: What do you mean force?
- Odafin Tutuola: Did you give consent?
- Kayla Morgan: It's not a black and white thing. When Andrew started coming on to me, I tried playing it off. I even said no at one point. But he didn't stop.
- Amanda Rollins: That sounds black and white to me.
- Kayla Morgan: Oh, this is just how it is in the restaurant industry, okay? You wouldn't understand. I should have just kneed him in the balls.
- Amanda Rollins: Kayla, it sounds like your boss raped you.
- Kayla Morgan: It is not rape if I say it's not. Okay, look. I appreciate what you guys are trying to do here, okay? I really do, but just stay out of my life. Before you ruin it.
- Amanda Rollins: Kayla told him no, but she refuses to say it was rape.
- Peter Stone: What's Liebowitz saying? Did he admit to pressuring her?
- Odafin Tutuola: He insists it was consensual, but no cameras, no witnesses.
- Amanda Rollins: She's not gonna testify against him.
- Peter Stone: And without a complaining witness, I can't move forward.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Well, hold on. Now, Liebowitz has no priors, but he does pop up on three separate 61s.
- Odafin Tutuola: Here in Manhattan?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: No, Brooklyn SVU. These all happened in the past four years.
- Amanda Rollins: Well, he's got a wine bar in Park Slope.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, three separate employees accused him of sexual assault.
- Peter Stone: All right, talk to them. See if we can stir the pot.
- Olivia Benson: I cannot believe that Hodges of all people didn't move forward with these charges. Read this.
- Peter Stone: He's convinced all three cases are losers.
- Olivia Benson: There are no perfect witnesses. That goes with the territory.
- Peter Stone: Fin and Carisi tell me he's strong on women's issues.
- Olivia Benson: Well, he made a name for himself busting a Russian sex trafficking ring. They even tried to kill him. But a garden variety prosecution of Liebowitz? This is a no-brainer.
- Peter Stone: Until you get an acquittal. And that's all people remember.
- Peter Stone: To have any chance at trial, I have to convince Kayla to testify.
- Olivia Benson: No arm twisting, Peter.
- Peter Stone: Oh, don't worry. I've been watching someone who's pretty damn good at this.
- Peter Stone: I'm Peter Stone. I work with Lieutenant Benson.
- Kayla Morgan: What is it with you people?
- Peter Stone: We found three additional victims, Kayla. They all worked at Liebowitz's wine bar in Brooklyn.
- Kayla Morgan: Great. So have them be your poster girls.
- Peter Stone: I can't prosecute those cases. They'll testify to support you, but I need you to open the door.
- Kayla Morgan: And I need to keep my job.
- Peter Stone: You need to take care of yourself. Do you really think he won't do this again?
- Kayla Morgan: I can handle it now.
- Peter Stone: Well, maybe you won't have to since he already has your panties in his trophy case.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: That looks delicious.
- Andrew Liebowitz: What are you doing back here?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: I'm arresting you for the rape of Kayla Morgan.
- Andrew Liebowitz: [to Kayla as he's led out] You ungrateful bitch. You're fired.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Where have I heard that before?
- Peter Stone: There's no way Kayla's going to go this alone now.
- Olivia Benson: So, can you appeal?
- Peter Stone: The appellate division justices would laugh in my face.
- Olivia Benson: So we're dead in the water.
- Peter Stone: I'm afraid so.
- Olivia Benson: Look, I understand why Kayla won't go toe to toe with the man who raped her, but Chris Hodges? Chris Hodges is the go-to prosecutor for Brooklyn SVU.
- Peter Stone: Look, there were some problems with those disclosures.
- Olivia Benson: But with all three of them? There's gotta be more to it.
- Peter Stone: Some prosecutors talk a good game. But the bottom line is whether they win or lose.
- Olivia Benson: But not Chris Hodges. That's not his reputation. Peter, maybe... maybe you need to dig a little deeper.
- Peter Stone: Olivia, I...
- Olivia Benson: I'm telling you, something's not right here.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Did you guys see this?
- Amanda Rollins: What's that?
- Odafin Tutuola: [seeing the front page of the New York Ledger] Somebody leaked our investigation.
- Amanda Rollins: Stone?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: No, my money's on Liv.
- Odafin Tutuola: Mine's on both.
- ADA Hodges: If that thing back in high school comes up...
- Andrew Liebowitz: What thing?
- ADA Hodges: At that party. Bethany something.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Oh, you mean the girl who wouldn't let you screw her?
- ADA Hodges: Emily's friend. The girl you practically raped.
- Andrew Liebowitz: That was you, man.
- ADA Hodges: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. At the fancy townhouse.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Yeah, we got her drunk on tequila shots, and you tried to rip her pants off.
- ADA Hodges: What are you talking about? I had to pull you off of her.
- Andrew Liebowitz: No, bro, you were the one who was into that girl.
- ADA Hodges: What are you, crazy?
- Andrew Liebowitz: You're thinking of some other girl we did at some other party.
- ADA Hodges: My god. You're out of your mind.
- Peter Stone: [eavesdropping] Now we have Hodges.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, and guess what? Mr. Me Too is a serial predator. Okay, guys, go. Two collars. Go.
- Odafin Tutuola: The girl gets in your car, she's a hot mess, and you just keep driving?
- Michael Boykin: I barely looked at her. I was on the phone with my wife the entire ride.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: You know we hate it when you guys do that, right?
- Michael Boykin: I got to her destination and realized something's off. She was staring into space like a zombie, so I tried to shake her out of it. Help her out of my car. But the second I touched her, she attacked me like some lunatic.
- Kayla Morgan: I'm sorry, I just... this is a waste of everybody's time.
- Olivia Benson: I know that this is difficult, and we're almost done, I promise, but if you could just give me one more minute.
- Amanda Rollins: You remember how your shirt got ripped?
- Kayla Morgan: I had a lot to drink.
- Olivia Benson: Where?
- Kayla Morgan: I don't know. It's fuzzy.
- Amanda Rollins: And that is completely normal. Victims don't remember all the details of their assault.
- Peter Stone: My office is investigating a chef named Andrew Liebowitz.
- ADA Hodges: What'd he do now?
- Peter Stone: Same thing he did here, apparently. Why did you decline to prosecute?
- ADA Hodges: Liebowitz is a real piece of work. I wish we could have gone after him, but all three of my complainants had issues.
- Peter Stone: My cops thought they seemed pretty credible.
- ADA Hodges: You know, late disclosures, no rape kits, drug and alcohol problems, uh, prior sexual relationships. We can't waste time and money on cases we'll never win, right?
- Peter Stone: Still, Liebowitz seems like he pushes the meaning of consent.
- ADA Hodges: Well, look, I hope you fare better than I did. Let me know what I can do to help.
- Peter Stone: It's about power, Kayla. He's gonna keep raping the women who work for him until somebody stands up and stops him.
- Kayla Morgan: I don't think that I...
- Peter Stone: I can't imagine how difficult this is, Kayla. My sister was murdered by the people I was prosecuting. I have to wake up every morning and convince myself that it wasn't my fault. And the only way I can do that is if I believe I can stop it from happening to somebody else.
- Kayla Morgan: I used to love my job at Far Rockaway. My coworkers are my friends. I'm finally making decent money.
- Peter Stone: And Andrew took all that away from you. Nobody should have to pay that price.
- Kayla Morgan: I'm supposed to get paid tomorrow.
- Peter Stone: You don't have to go in. We can arrest him tonight if you're on board.
- Kayla Morgan: These other women, they're not gonna back out?
- Peter Stone: No. No, I promise.
- Kayla Morgan: [after a moment of consideration] Okay. Do me a favor. Send the cops tomorrow during my shift. I wanna see this go down.
- Judge Edward Kofax: How do you plead, Mr. Liebowitz?
- Andrew Liebowitz: Not guilty.
- Judge Edward Kofax: People want bail?
- Peter Stone: Absolutely. The charge is forcible rape. We're asking for $2 million.
- Regina Carter: That's punitive. This is a classic he said/she said.
- Peter Stone: The People intend to introduce evidence that the defendant is a serial predator. There are three prior rape allegations in Brooklyn.
- Regina Carter: Those charges were never filed.
- Peter Stone: The People intend to introduce them to establish his modus operandi.
- Judge Edward Kofax: Ah, Bill Cosby all over again. We'll hold a Molineux hearing in my chambers to determine the admissibility of this testimony. Bail is set at $1 million, cash or bond.
- Peter Stone: Three employees in the defendant's Brooklyn wine bar came forward with sexual assault complaints against him. Their accounts are nearly identical.
- Judge Edward Kofax: How so?
- Peter Stone: These women were plied with alcohol or marijuana after closing time as a prelude to these assaults.
- Regina Carter: A little wine or weed before sex is hardly a one-of-a-kind criminal signature.
- Peter Stone: After the attacks, the defendant took an undergarment from each of the victims. You know, as a memento.
- Regina Carter: You're getting warmer, Mr. Stone, but you're still missing the big picture. Modus operandi evidence is admissible to prove the identity of a suspect. This isn't a whodunnit. It's a what happened.
- Peter Stone: The fact that he did the same thing on three - now four - separate occasions demonstrates a common scheme or plan on the part of the defendant.
- Regina Carter: No, it's an attempt to demonstrate my client's propensity to behave badly.
- Regina Carter: The ulterior motive behind Mr. Stone's ploy is to have the jury convict Mr. Liebowitz, not for the allegations in this complaint, but for his prior acts.
- Judge Edward Kofax: Why weren't these three cases prosecuted in Brooklyn?
- Peter Stone: You'll have to ask the Brooklyn D.A.
- Judge Edward Kofax: Mr. Stone.
- Peter Stone: [reluctantly] There were apparently questions about the complainants' credibility.
- Judge Edward Kofax: And why would I allow them to testify here?
- Peter Stone: It's up to a jury to decide whether to believe them.
- Judge Edward Kofax: Yes, but first it is up to me to decide if the prejudicial effect of this testimony outweighs its probative value. I rule it does.
- Peter Stone: At least let me call one of the Brooklyn women.
- Judge Edward Kofax: All three witnesses are excluded.
- ADA Hodges: What brings you to Brooklyn?
- Peter Stone: Andrew Liebowitz.
- ADA Hodges: Oh, seriously?
- Peter Stone: You kicked all three cases in the complaint room.
- ADA Hodges: [sipping his drink] Mmm. Well, I told you. They were all buyer's remorse.
- Peter Stone: Maybe you let a grand jury make that call.
- ADA Hodges: Well, maybe I should look at some of the cases you declined to prosecute.
- Peter Stone: What aren't you telling me?
- ADA Hodges: You know something, Stone? If I wasn't such a big fan, maybe I'd tell you to get the hell out of my happy hour. You had one of the best pick-off moves I ever saw. Three variations in your look to first. Four different home counts. That dummy move when you came set at the letters... forget about it.
- Peter Stone: You're more than just a casual observer.
- Bartender: Ah, Chris pitched in high school.
- ADA Hodges: Three years on varsity.
- Bartender: Go Seahorses, huh?
- ADA Hodges: Uh, close me out, Davey, while I hit the head.
- Peter Stone: Seahorses, huh? It's about as intimidating as the Mud Hens.
- Bartender: Far Rockaway High. In Queens. Chris grew up out there.
- Peter Stone: Liebowitz and Hodges went to high school together.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: That's why Hodges 86ed the prosecutions?
- Peter Stone: They lived around the corner from each other. Hodges' mom said they used to drive to school together every day.
- Amanda Rollins: I'm bumping on this. Hodges is all about victims' rights.
- Odafin Tutuola: Don't believe the hype, Amanda.
- Amanda Rollins: He even spoke at the Women's Day March.
- Odafin Tutuola: That just makes him a hypocrite.
- Amanda Rollins: So he'd risk his entire political career to help out this high school buddy of his?
- Odafin Tutuola: Maybe there's something more to this.
- Peter Stone: Did Hodges' name pop on any of Liebowitz's social media accounts?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: No, nothing.
- Amanda Rollins: Where are you going with this?
- Peter Stone: Well, this doesn't get us over the hump, but we know Liebowitz is a habitual offender.
- Amanda Rollins: So there must be other women that he victimized besides the three in Brooklyn.
- Peter Stone: He opened his Manhattan restaurant in 2013. Kayla can't be the first woman he assaulted in that wine cellar.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: There's not a single complaint in our database.
- Odafin Tutuola: Maybe they're getting paid not to disclose. We should run full-court press on Liebowitz's financials.
- Peter Stone: Right, social and corporate. Anything over three digits that isn't his mortgage.
- Amanda Rollins: I thought the restaurant business was tough. This guy's clearing over 2, 3 million a year.
- Odafin Tutuola: That's like cardiology money.
- [seeing her look]
- Odafin Tutuola: Just doesn't seem like your type, that's all I'm saying.
- Amanda Rollins: Okay, what's my type, Fin? Broke?
- Odafin Tutuola: A little edge.
- Amanda Rollins: Edge can be overrated.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Liebowitz's backers put up all the cash for both his places.
- Amanda Rollins: Well, he did make a contribution to Hodges' boss when she ran for D.A. in Brooklyn.
- Odafin Tutuola: Rich gaming the system. Same as it ever was.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, maybe so, but if he ever paid a woman off to keep quiet, it is not in here.
- Amanda Rollins: So, what's our next move?
- Odafin Tutuola: We tell Liv and Stone his numbers are clean. And then we all go try and get six hours.
- Bethany Fisher: Is this SVU?
- Amanda Rollins: Can I help you?
- Bethany Fisher: [holding up the Ledger article] I saw this this morning. I wanna report a sex crime. He tried to rape me. It was a long time ago, but...
- Odafin Tutuola: Andrew Liebowitz?
- Bethany Fisher: No. Chris Hodges. The lawyer.
- Bethany Fisher: I was fifteen. This girl was having a party because her parents were away. She invited some kids she knew from Far Rockaway.
- Olivia Benson: So, what happened at this party?
- Bethany Fisher: There were ten or twelve of us. One of the boys brought tequila. I remember winding up in one of the bedrooms with Chris and one of his friends.
- Olivia Benson: Andrew Liebowitz? The other man on the front page?
- Bethany Fisher: Could be. I don't remember his name. I can't say for sure.
- Bethany Fisher: Chris pushed me to the floor and got on top of me.
- Olivia Benson: Bethany, I know how hard this is re-live, so... just... just take your time, okay?
- Bethany Fisher: He pinned me down. Put his hand down my shorts. And the other boy, he was saying things to him.
- Olivia Benson: Like what kind of things?
- Bethany Fisher: Like a cheerleader. "Go for it, dude." Things like that. And I was screaming "No, no, get off me." But he covered my mouth. Chris pulled down my shorts with his other hand. The other boy came over I think maybe to give him a condom. And that's when I pushed him off me and ran out of the room.
- Olivia Benson: And this was the first time that you had met Chris?
- Bethany Fisher: No, I met him before. I definitely knew his name. And when I read the article today and saw his picture...
- Olivia Benson: Okay. And after this happened to you, Bethany, did you tell anyone?
- Bethany Fisher: When I got home, I couldn't think straight. My dad was strict. If he knew I was drinking with older boys... my therapist knows.
- Olivia Benson: Okay.
- Bethany Fisher: I've been seeing her for years. She said I should tell my husband, so I finally did last year.
- Olivia Benson: And after all this happened, did you confide in anyone?
- Bethany Fisher: No. But my friend Emily was at the party. When I got out of that bedroom, I made her leave with me. She could see I was really upset.
- ADA Hodges: I'm done with your Andrew Liebowitz problem.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, well, that's not what this is about.
- ADA Hodges: Then you'd better have a damn good reason for insisting I come up here.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: You better consider yourself lucky we didn't perp walk you out of your own office.
- ADA Hodges: Perp walk? What the hell are you talking about?
- Olivia Benson: The girl that you tried to rape in high school.
- ADA Hodges: Excuse me?
- Olivia Benson: Bethany Fisher?
- ADA Hodges: Who?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Bethany Fisher. She was friends with Emily Holmes. That's a girl you went to high school with.
- ADA Hodges: Yeah, I remember Emily. This Bethany person, I have no i... dea...
- Olivia Benson: No idea?
- ADA Hodges: Is this about a house party, like, fifteen years ago?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: You see? It's all coming back to you now, right?
- ADA Hodges: No, but I know one thing for sure. I didn't touch that girl. That was Andrew.
- Olivia Benson: Ah, that was fast.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: But you were there. You were in that bedroom, weren't you?
- ADA Hodges: We were listening to music.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Mm-hmm.
- ADA Hodges: And Andrew jumped on top of her and tried to take her clothes off.
- Olivia Benson: And you just stood there and did nothing?
- ADA Hodges: What are you talking about? I pushed him off her. If it wasn't for me, God knows...
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: "If it wasn't for me." Would you spare us the self-righteous crap? We got two witnesses that say it was you.
- ADA Hodges: Well, they've got it mixed up. I've never done anything like that, ever.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Ever? So best-case scenario, you just kept your damn mouth shut and you covered your friend's ass?
- ADA Hodges: Did you ever go to high school? That's the code. You have your friend's back. That's the way the world works.
- Olivia Benson: Not anymore.
- ADA Hodges: Yeah, and guess what? I'm part of the reason things are different now.
- Olivia Benson: Or Bethany is telling the truth and you're not only the world's biggest hypocrite, but you're also a rapist.
- ADA Hodges: That's laughable. Andrew's been making moves like this since he was old enough to shave.
- Olivia Benson: Well...
- ADA Hodges: Are you charging me?
- Olivia Benson: That remains to be seen. But if you are telling the truth, then you had a chance to stand up for Bethany when you were seventeen years old. So one way or the other, you're gonna make this right.
- ADA Hodges: You gotta behave, Andrew, these days. You're playing with fire.
- Andrew Liebowitz: Well, lucky for me, you're good at putting 'em out.
- ADA Hodges: Yeah, well, that's why I wanted to talk. I can't protect you anymore.
