Huh? Mr. Careles. He's like an octopus or a squid. Their bodies can switch from transparent to opaque in the blink of an eye. He's opaque to most but transparent when he looks at you. I'm just calling it like I see it. Okay, Paloma, the only thing you should be calling is my clients to confirm appointments. Capisce? Capisce. No, seriously, I can't believe that Machismo is your first major endorsement. Well, it's not the first major. I mean, you know, there was Sport-E Boost -- the sports drink. But, uh, we don't talk about that. You know what? Those sports drinks are just pure sugar anyway. I don't like to put things like that into my body. So what kind of things do you like to put in your body? Natural things. Well that's good, 'cause I don't know if you was aware, but all this right here -- this is 100% all natural. Terrence King, you are funny. And you are beautiful. So, tell me what you do for a living. 'Cause when I met you, you were all, you know, business-y and lawyer-y and... Well, I do have a law degree, but I run my own business now. What? Mm-hmm. That's impressive. Look at you, miss head honcho boss lady, all beautiful, running your own company. So it's a trap.
Called a reverse trojan horse. Well, if they're fishing for information, it makes sense for us to set bait. We create a false file, one that looks like it contains some company secrets, but it'll also contain some hidden code. Once the file's downloaded, it allows the hackers to be hacked. Hmm. That's pretty clever. I assume that's why you hired me. Right. Well, I'll leave you to it. Jones brings the ball up court. And here come the Blizzard. They're struggling to find a rhythm here tonight. Langer passes it to Spears. Spears back to Langer, who's open for the lay-up on the left side, and he gets hammered. Ah! There they go bang-a-langing! Come on! - Right? - You know what I'm saying? And the adventure continues as Langer makes his way to the line. ♪ Coming strong now, baby ♪ Chugging for you now ♪ Tell me, tell me Yeah! Did you teach him that? That's the way to do it, Devon! Whoo! Oh, I've seen it, and I don't believe it. Devon Langer just shot a turnaround jumper from the line, and it went in. That is an absolute first for me.
♪ Play guitar, half the time gonna ♪ ♪ Out all night, running around ♪ Whoo! That's the way to do it, Devon! Whoo! Looks like you're doing a great job with my son. Did he tell you that I'm his biggest fan? Yes, he did. You got to be very proud of him. I always tell him, "I don't call you 'son' because you shine. I call you 'son' because you mine." ♪ Tell me ♪ Why you got to be so Hey! Come on! Come on, Devon! What are you doing? ! Kyle's open! Rotate the ball! Rotate the ball! Hey! What are you doing holding onto the ball? Ball rotation's the name of the game. Swing it. Mom, sit down. No. Sit down, ma'am. Excuse me.
I'm trying to talk to my boy. Take it easy. No, you take it easy. Off the court now. No! Hey. Back up off my mom, dawg. You're out of here. You too. Get your hands off me. There she is. Chocolate soufflé. Get it while it's hot. See, that could have been a commercial right there. Think so? Seriously, T.K., why aren't you doing Pepsi or Coke or Nike? I ask myself that all the time. I mean, you know, no offense to Machismo. I just... I think you're better than that. Tell that to my manager. Well, I wouldn't have to if it was me. W-what? I'm Abigail Bruce, managing partner at SBG. Most people call me "Bruce." This whole thing. was a setup? Wait, you -- you -- you tried to poach me? Which makes me the egg. You know what?
I -- thank you for dinner. And enjoy picking up the tab. T.K., look -- wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I wasn't totally up front with you, but I know that you're loyal, which I respect. So I thought I needed to take a backdoor approach. Backdoor -- this is a backstab approach. You know, it's been real. Actually, it's been fake. So Bruce Abby or Bruce Springsteen, whatever the hell your name is, you have a good night. Connor give you the ring-and-the-bling speech? He tell you you have to be patient, you got to take it slow? Well, the cold, hard truth is athletes have a relatively small window of time to land endorsements, and Terrence King deserves Nike, not some has-been cologne. Oh, so you're gonna show me the money. I'm saying Connor is slow-playing you because he has 100 clients ahead of you on his call sheet. SBG is a boutique agency by choice. We keep our roster small so we can give our clients the attention they need, they deserve. And with me, you'll get the same loyalty you give. So what you're saying is, Connor's not loyal? There are things I know about him, things I think you should know. I thought it would be helpful to have you both here so we could discuss what happened at the game. I got the ball on the wing, and then they doubled me. Couldn't find anyone open, so I split the double team. And no one was open? Kyle was all by himself right under the basket. Okay, wait. Who's Kyle? Burke. Kyle Burke. The guy who was supposedly wide open but wasn't.
Geez. You're always doing this. Doing what? Criticizing my game in front of a stadium full of people. Look, if you have a comment, why don't you save it for when we're at home instead of 20,000 fans? Well, I am not 20,000 fans! I am your mother! And if you need help with your game, I'm gonna tell you. Mom, come on! I don't need you helping me with my game! I know how to play. Boy -- Okay, time-out. Time out! Hey. This might be a good time to discuss setting some boundaries. For example, Lana... Mm. ...when it comes to Devon's game, maybe it would be better to let the coaches do the coaching. Excuse me? Who are you? Who are you to be telling me how to talk to Devon? ! I'm his mother! Y-yeah, don't blame Lana for any of this! If it wasn't for her sacrifices, I wouldn't even be here. Okay, I'm not blaming anybody for anything. Ever since I was 16, this boy has been my life. - I know, mom. - And I'm sorry. I came to you for help with my game.
And now you're trying to mess with the most important relationship of my life? Come on, Lana. We're done. Wait, Devon. Devon! You see how upset you've made him? What the hell? I don't enjoy being followed. I-I'm not -- Sure you are. Do me a favor. You tell Troy I had a veggie burrito for lunch, I'm scheduled for a haircut on Tuesday. Anything else, I'll tell him when I'm ready. You're out of here. You too. Oh, my God. I know. He is so freaking hot. Hi, honey. Well, if he didn't like you, then why would he text you 25 times? What's this? Hang on a second. It's Kelley Blue Book. I figured out my new car and exactly how much it's gonna cost us. I did the research, and it's in our price range. Right, but looking together was gonna be half the fun. Yeah, and about twice the amount of time. Lindz, are you there? Yeah, but he totally ignored me last night.
Yeah, I know. Guys are such idiots. I guess it's nature's way of making women stronger. Hey, are we still on for Friday? Yeah, right? I don't believe it. Devon Langer just shot a turnaround jumper from the line, and it went in. That's an -- He was mad at him before the foul. T.K.! What's up? How's the King? Had a pretty interesting dinner last night. Oh, yeah? Yeah, thought I was gonna be knocking some boots, then I got knocked into a sales pitch about leaving V3 for SBG. Bruce. Let me guess. She tell you I was slow-playing you 'cause I have 50 other clients to service? 100, but, yeah. Tea? No. It's a special blend they make for me in Thailand. This is a business where people say a lot of things, but it's what they do that matters. Well, yeah. She says I should be doing Nike, not some sort of tiger-juice musk. Right, easy for her to say that she can get you big endorsements after I've done all the groundwork, right? Look, if you want someone who blows smoke -- and trust me, she can do it well -- then I say go with her. And how do I know you're not blowing smoke right now? You don't. This is not funny, dude.
This is my future. I-I have a limited amount of time. I-I have a window. Mm-hmm. And if I'm not guided by the right hands, I could end up with nothing after football. Oh, and you think Bruce has the right hands? I've seen 'em. I know what she does. S-she'll pet you real nice. But let me tell you something. She's not gonna be happy until she's got you by the... Okay, so, let's say I do leave. You're not gonna page-six me and ruin my rep, are you? Look, V3 has a 98% retention rate. That's a fact. It's not like I'm breaking bones to make people stay here. Look, T.K., if you want to go with Bruce, I say go. Go with God. But there is one thing you should know about me. I take this very personally. And it breaks my heart when someone goes. I mean, years ago, I made a pact with myself. Once you walk out on me you don't get to come back. Connor? Mr. Careles -- in the conference room. Carpe diem. Oh. Hey, Devon. Can we talk?
I don't think we have anything else to talk about, Doc. Um... Listen. The free throws, your mom, and the anger, it's all connected. And what does that mean? Anger is a response to being hurt. See, this is why I don't want to talk. Yeah, maybe my mom is too involved in my game, but -- But it's more than that, isn't it? Every time that you make a free throw, you are staring at your mom, and it is killing your percentages. So the question is, what are you so angry about? When you look at your mom -- Look! What the hell are you getting at, lady? ! Huh? ! I reviewed the game tapes, and I noticed that there is a lot of tension between you and Burke. There's nothing to tell. The amount of times that you pass him the ball in a game has dropped 50%. So...what happened? Devon, I know -- I know this is hard. But if you are going to really stop the chaos in your head, then you have got to be honest. All right, look. You want honesty? Yes! Fine! Here it is. Kyle Burke is banging my mom. Kevin I know your upset.
You have no idea what I'm feeling, all right? My mom's sleeping with a teammate half her age. Does your mom know how you feel about this? She doesn't know that I know. All right? And she can't. Why? Because she can't. Okay? If she wants to be with Burke, then that's the way it is. If she wants to yell at me in the middle of a game, I have to look the other way. But you can't look the other way. Because when you were out there trying to make a free throw, trying to clear your head, you got Burke on the court, you got your mother on the sidelines. You were afraid of something in -- in the therapy session with your mom, weren't you? What were you afraid of? I can't chance it. You -- you can't chance what? Devon, you are still not being honest with me. About seven years ago... when I went off to college my mom got depressed. Empty-nest syndrome or whatever. Totally normal. But it's not normal to take a bottle of pills. No. No, it's not. The paramedics got there just in time. She almost didn't make it. She is all I've got, Dr. Santino, a-and I'm all that she's got. Devon... the vicious cycle that you have to break is not with the ball o-or with being fouled. It's with your mother.
At a certain point, a mother has to let her child grow up and move on. But Lana never learned to do that. And the result of that is this form of co-dependency where you feel responsible for her happiness. And the result of that is extreme unhappiness for you. So what am I supposed to do? You have to put it all out on the table. And it will be a long process. But we will work through it together. She's not gonna like it. No. Will you be there when I ask her? Absolutely. She don't play. No, she don't. Yeah. Sit down. Hands in lap. Troy, Connor... Stanzi Palmer. Say hello to the nice men. Hello. Now tell them who you work for. SBG. This is your hacker. I picked him up in an Internet café. He was about an hour away from worming his way into our e-mail server. Do I need a lawyer? Wait outside. I'll let you know. In that chair.
What do we do with him? Press charges. Nail his ass to the wall. Or... Or what? Let him walk? If this goes public that anyone hacked into V3, much less someone from SBG, it could scare clients, make us look weak. We can't just let them get away with corporate espionage. You keep your friends close, your enemies closer. Poach the hacker. Brilliant. Hire the guy? Yeah. Why not? You can't beat 'em, join 'em. Or make them join you. Seems to be the order of the day. Next time, don't have me followed. Just ask. Dr. Santino, do you have a minute? Mm-hmm. I-I just wanted to say I'm sorry if I overstepped. Paloma, that's not necessary. I have a tendency to blur the boundaries. That's what my therapist says. Okay. Well, this therapist says don't apologize. This is a new relationship. We are different. We just need to learn to navigate the waters between us.
Capisce. Okay. Hey. Hear you're running a two-for-one special. Hmm? I spoke with Langer. Says you're helping him and his mother now. He call you, or you call him? Hey, I just said you didn't have to push anymore. It doesn't mean I can't keep trying. Regardless, you know, he's -- he's never gonna leave his agent. I mean, he's been with Howard since the beginning. I'm sorry, Captain Ahab. I know you wanted that whale. Sounds like someone got one. Is that Devon Langer? I thought he wasn't leaving his agent. He's not. Why take the rose when you can have the whole bush? You poached Langer's agent? Wow. You play rough. Santino, this is what it means to swim in this ocean. You're either predator or prey. The thing about Bruce she broke my heart. I trusted her. I mentored her. And how did she repay me? When I was sitting in the hospital, waiting for my father to die, she snuck into my office, stole my files, took some of my clients, a few of my best agents, and started her own place. The thing about V3 is we're a family.
And I am fiercely loyal to my clients and my employees. And I expect the same from them. I need the same. All right. Time to welcome the new kids. ♪ Ain't nobody gonna riff on me ♪ ♪ When I'm gone ♪ Riff on me Devon! Welcome. Thanks, Connor. Glad to be here. Hey, man. Good to see you. Is that you? No. It should be. Yeah, you're right. You've got a much nicer ass. Fresh. Wait. You're not from SBG, are you? Uh, how did you know that? See? You like a C.E.O., C.F.O., what? No. No, I'm a - - I'm a client. Was a client. I'm with these guys now.
Oh. Just signed with their fashion department today, actually. Oh, I'm a model. Oh, people pay you to look like this? Yes, that's the definition of a model. That's a good one. Uh, wait. So you left SBG for V3? They were slow-playing me. Hey, tell me this. Are you happy here? I'm happier now. Terrence. Sheera. Yes, you are. Well, I have to admit, when you suggested we hack into their system, I didn't think we'd pull it off. We needed to see all his books. Agency war seemed the perfect cover. You played it perfectly. So did he. Nice work, Stanzi. Thanks. Well, congratulations, gentlemen. Instead of having one man on the inside, now we have two. Lindz, I'm home! And I brought pumpkin ravioli from Maria's, and meatballs! Oh, I'm so sorry, but Sarina's having a sleepover. And I know we talked about dinner, but... Uh, okay.
You know what? I can cancel. No. No. It's Friday night. You go out. You have fun. It's not your job to worry about me. Come here. Well, Sunday night, dinner. Is that a question? No. It's a date. Done. Ooh! Ray Jay, hi! No, no! No, I-I'm just happy to hear your voice, honey. ♪ Now, shake it just like you got it ♪ ♪ Are you ready? ♪ Are you ready? ♪ Just keep that same old beat, y'all ♪ ♪ Ow! So, you came. Oh. Well, you know, I figured, uh, if I'm going to work here, then I better act like part of the family. Like you. You look beautiful. Santino, Careles, glad you could make it. Never miss it.
Oh, look. I got to fill up. We all need to just exhale and have a drink. It's been a tough week. Great party. You got it, Howard. Well, it could have been a tougher week. You caught a whale. Well, I already got myself a whale a few weeks ago. Right. T.K. No. You, Santino. Speaking of... Um, too much cabbage. Can't accept it. Yes, yes. Yes, you can. You are my MVP. This is all you've done for V3 and all you're going to do for V3. God! Do you ever not get what you want? Yeah, when I was a kid, I wanted a dinosaur, then I found out they were extinct. Hey, I got a proposition for you. Come to Idaho with us. Yes! It's the Allen and Company conference. I got to make some goofy speech. Wheels up in four hours. No, I can't just "wheels-up."
Am I even asking? Don't I always get what I want? Paloma, can you call Florio, tell him to make sure there's room for one more on the jet tonight? Of course. Thanks. Mm. Look, I'll have you back by Sunday. I promise, Santino. You are gonna have fun. Come on. Come on. What is happening? No! Oh! "What's happening?" Music! ♪ Lord, have mercy Whoo! == sync, corrected by elderman == ♪ Lord, have mercy ♪ Look at me, I can't stand up straight ♪ ♪ Look there Two Weeks Go to Busan. Tomorrow night, there will be a boat going to the Philippines. There's only one boat that's leaving for the Philippines today. And, it's departing from Busan. Take them and go, without Detective Im. Because his emotions are involved, he could overturn everything.
Keep going, just keep going. Command, stand by. I see a door, I see a door. Jack, they're getting close. You just hang on there, Jack. Just hang on. Jack, hold on. We're right here. Jack, talk to me. Jack, talk to me. Listen to me. Mike, tell Linda l love her. - Do you hear me? - Yeah, I heard you. You tell them that, you hear me? I will. All units, evacuate the building immediately. It's never an easy thing saying goodbye to your brother fire-fighter. And this time, particularly it's difficult for me because I watch Jack Grew into well, into one of the finest fire-fighter I've ever known. He join this department because he want to help people. Who knows how many homes are still standing because Jack was there. How many life were spared? He gives his life for that cause. We'll never forget you, Jack. And we're better for having you. I make you this 1 promise, Tomorrow, when the bell rings, we'll be back on the truck. Because you're the bravest of the brave. People always asking me how the fire-fighter run into burning building
When everyone else is running out? Jack, you answer that question by saving another man's life. Your courage is the answer. And today we will be as brave as you, By not mourning you but celebrating your life. So, I like everyone to stand up and celebrate the life of Jack Morrison. Jack! Jack! Everybody listen up! Chief says we gotta deport people trapped on the 12th floor above. It's a place which is supposed to explode at any time. So keep together, maintain radio contact.

Get in there, rookie. Come here. Yeah? What a hell is this? - What? - Are you stupid? - There's no paper. - That's right there!

Mike, did that get out, the one in a bucket? That's affirmative, Jack. You made it, he's gonna be okay. You did a great job.
Jack switch to a different channel. Try A. Switch to a different channel, try A. How'd I made myself trapped in some fire? You should have told me about it. What did you expect? I did the best I could though I had to work with. - No, no caviar. - I told you, didn't I tell you? - Nothing to Paris, right? - No, I didn't believe it. I'm going in. Excuse me? Hi. - Can I ask you a question? - Sure. - Who are these for? - For us. - Really? - Yeah. - You can't eat these. - Why not? These are for fat lonely girls who'd stay at home at night watching TV. - Is that used for fat girls? - Yes! - Lieutenant, right? - Yeah, that's right. Lieutenant Jack Morrison. - Hi. - Hey.
I'm captain Dennis Gauquin. Chris Crapchak, ever heard of that? - No. - Best sea food in town? - Oh, really? - Sorry, we can't go. Thank you. Hey, do you know the Catcher Biz? Maybe. - All right, can you show me? - Sure. Okay. Sorry, captain's been to a lot of situations. Big fire and smoke went through his head. Don't seem to be his head is a problem, lieutenant. It's funny. I'm Jack Morrison. He told me, remember? Do you guys usually pick up girls in a supermarket? Usually girls just fall over my shoulder. It's about Tarzan and Jane thing? Nice to meet you, but I should be going. Yeah, nice meeting you. - Bye. - Bye. 8 o'clock. - What? - Cliff's. With those girls? What do you mean, like you locked yourself out?
Yeah. If you locked yourself out and you say that you left the stone one, yeah. Fire department don't have a chance. We'd try to stop you, doing that by knocking down the door with an axe. What about more personal? More than anything. - Let's go. - You guys okay? We're going outside. Bye, behave. So, what do you do? I'm working at Joyce, helping people make inchoiry. Do you make those? Do you make bracelets? I made this one and I made this. So, what's that called? Are you like an artist? No, I just help people make inchoiry, it's just a job. Do you like what you do? - Yeah, I love it. - Yeah? Why? Cause we're not just sitting around like this and also do some things. We live in a firehouse. We're working with building team. Helping people, you know? Saving people. I can't even imagine what's the feeling to save someone's life. How many people do you think you've saved? Actually I'm not a lieutenant.
I actually just started, I got my first fire today though. - This was amazing. - Captain Dennis sent this over. - Thank you. - Thanks. - I hate you! - This is gonna be cheap dinner. You suck! - Is he either a fireman? - No, he's a tracky step man. He actually goes there and pulls people out, save people. Are you a steppy too? Not steppy, but tracky. But no, I'm on engine. I'm a pipe man. I actually hold the nausle and put the fire out. It's cool. I think that's amazing what you guys do. You go into burning buildings when everyone else is running out. I couldn't do that. It's a job. Nice! Nice one, guys! How you're doing? Jack Morrison, phone call! Jack Morrison, phone call! That woman is claiming you to be the father of her child! Hello. Hey, how you're doing? I did have a goose.
A goose in my locker. He was huge, crapped all over myself. Jack, you started phone sex business here? Look I gotta go, can I call you later? Hey hold up, it's must be the lovely Linda. Hi, nice to meet you! - Margarita sends you love. - Ah, Margarita! - That's captain Kennedy. - How do you do? - Hi! I heard lot about you! - Yeah? - Yeah, you have really sexy boxers. - Oh my gosh! Too tight? - Linda? Go have one of these. - Don't do it. - What is this? - It's Irish carbon. Put it in like this. Have a jump in there, drink it all once. - You'll love it. Ready? - You're ready? That's gonna make me sick. - One! - One! - Two!
- Two! - Three! - Three! Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink! Go, go, go, go, go! Wow! Oh my god! What was that? - I think I gotta slow down a bit. - No, no you're gonna get wasted! There's no way. If lady says she's all right, let her go. - Are you trying to me light wait? - Yeah! Last month I did rounds around the counter of the bar. Ready on three. One, two, three. - Did I say about drinking? - Lady's right, Tommy. Take it off! Take it off! Take that. Please kill me. My mom gave it to me. It's a clatter ring. First point it down and that means that you're free. And if it's pointed up towards you, that means that you're born to someone. Clear. Come on, Lenny. Let's go.
Oh, God! Jack! Jack! Jack! Oh, God. Jack! I need a goddamn report, Ladder 49. Ladder 49 to command. We have structure collapse inside. - This is huge, there's no way around it. - I don't care what your problem is, just keep going! We're gonna need some equipment up here. - Equipment is on it's way. - Got it, chief. Lenny. Lenny! How we're gonna get through all this? - Ladder 49, what do you need? - We need that equipment over here. You got it, give me a saw! We need to flitch. Clear! Put your head through here. Jack! It's gonna blow! May the Lord bless you, many happy years together. So that you may enjoy the rewards of a good life. And after you have loyally served it's kingdom on earth, you're welcome to the kingdom on heaven. Amen. Let the God bless you with the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen. You may now kiss the bride. I now present mister and missis Jack Morrison. Your husbang is an excellent firefighter. - Look after him for me, will you? - I'll help him look after himself. That's better. Teach Jack this stuff! All right, the next song goes out to... on our wedding by special request! Frank, Don, I need up here immediately. Come on, guys. Fire! Fire! Go ahead, sit down. Join the club. They're quite a choir, ha? How you're doing? - Captain Kennedy? - You're new rookie? Yeah. - Office is right there. - Thanks. - Welcome to Engine 33. - Okay. Thank you, captain. - So Keith, are you catholic? - Yeah. - Are you a virgin? - No, Father. So you think it's funny to fornicate with those women?
No, not at all. If you wanna have sex, you should get married. - I can't. - Why? - It's not allowed. - What do you mean it's not allowed? The church doesn't allow two men to get married, Father. - Excuse me? - I'm gay. - How did you know? - We got them! Girls, drink beer, here we go! - I'm good. - What? I'm good, I'm not drinking, you can have it. - Linda, it's St. Patty's. - It's okay, I'm not gonna drink, I'm just gonna have a coke at the bar. What are you pregnant? - What? You're kidding! - Baby, I was gonna tell you later tonight, I wanted to surprize you! - Come on! Linda's pregnant! Turn off the music! No more drinks for Linda, doubles for Jack. He's gonna be a father! Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack! Keep your money, save it for the baby.
Hey Jack, you can't have a baby... without a shower. - I'm getting too old for this shit. - You got that right. Let's see if this fire is walking on us. We're gonna scuttle whole the roof. Hey, open up that scuttle line. This is bullshit, man. Two storeyed dumpster, let her burn. - So block is vacant, let it all burn. - Stop your bitching little brother. Are we back next week? Hey, I got an idea, why don't you stop talking? Tommy! Get the door! Mayday, mayday, fire is out. Evacuate now! It's no good, it's no good! This is it, let's wind up, guys. Why don't you guys take as much time off as you need? It never happened to us before. He was a good fireman. It shouldn't have happened. He wasn't bringing attention. What? You're saying it was Dennis' fault? Would you shut up and wash some dishes, rookie! You are real good shouting at rookies, man. Fucking asshole. What a hell is going on here? I come back from telling a mother that her son is dead!
And this is going on in my house. In my house! We deal with this by sticking together. We take it, we learn from it. And we get back on a goddamn truck, and that's how we honour Dennis! You got that? Don't you think it might fall apart? I hope not. I was thinking about changing jobs. What do you mean? It's going search to rescue, pick a truck. That means you'd be taking Dennis' place? I can't think that way. Well would you? Captain, this stuff is great. That's my grandfather. And that's sample of it. These are my dad's. That's him. One of these he got after he passed away. This one. - It's Medal of Honour. - Yeah. So what's going on? Something I wanted to talk to you about. I was thinking about transferring to a truck. Jesus, why would you wanna do that for? You're engine man. Truck's a whole different thing. Pulling water between you and fire.
Gorge you out and you're lost in the smoke. It's not a good idea. Yeah, I know that. I love being on the pipes, it's just... Just what? That's what I want, Mike. Give it a try. But you gotta tell me something, if this isn't for you, you tell me right away. - Promise? - Yes, sir. Oh my god. It's over there! Get me out of here! Stay down! Stay down! We're coming to get you! I got this. - Try not to drop him. - It's pretty high. Take your time, do your buckles. Hey Lenny, grab the rope. - Are you sure it's tight? - You'll do this? Yeah. Are you ready? Hold on, Jack. It's 49 to command, we got man over the top. Nice and easy. - Try not to look down, Jack. - Thanks, Lenny.
Nice and easy guys, no race. All right Tommy, let him down. We got you, Jack, we're good. Bob, we're on the scene in chopper 7. Hey, I'm in! - Down! - Keep it coming! We got a burning building in downtown on Colver street. A lot of flames, a lot of smoke. Wait on set, just wait on set. Stop! Stop! Your eyes start to burn and the heat from the flames... Just wait, just wait! Hold it! Oh, there they go! Calm down, or you'll kill us! I swear to god, I drop you! Close your eyes. Close your eyes, put your hands against me. I'm gonna push up this window. We're gonna be okay, you just stay calm, okay? He shattered the glass! They're inside now. We're gonna pray if we get this guy's name. Is he in? Let's get pulse, Jerry. Somebody got pulse for a lot. - Hello. How are you, sweety?
- How's your shift? It's great. Been drinking? Yes, I had a few drinks with boys. What's the matter? I saw you on the news, Jack. Linda, what is wrong? I saw you on the news Jack, dangling from a rope! - How could you tell me that is not dangerous? - I didn't say it wasn't dangerous. Well we talked about it, I asked you, and you said it wasn't dangerous. I said it wasn't any more dangerous than being on the engine, I never said it wasn't dangerous! Do you see me right now? Do you? Cause that isn't just about us! Have you thought about that? Don't. - Don't. - It's all right. I'm scared. I can't sleep, I keep having that dream about the red car turning in front of the house, when you don't come home. Don't. I saved that man today. Hey, chief. Yes Jack, go ahead. Chief, it's getting pretty instable in here, I got this all shit falling from above. I understand, now Jack, listen up. Can you indentify anything around there?
It is an access store on my left. I can't get to this, there's too much pree. Chief, every four eight 12 hard. It's a collapse out here. He's near that control room. We'll get him but we need some time. My best guys try to reach about here, in this area. If they'll break to this wall and get to that control room... My guys are getting to there, get him in here, and go down that stairwell. - It might work, chief. Okay now look, Jack, this is very important. Right behind you there's a wall, behind that wall is a control room. We can break through that wall but we need some time. Can you do that? Give it a shot. I need two men up there on Ladder 17, and two men blocking right now upon it. Ladder 49, this is the twitch report. The progress is, we're working on it, chief! I need another blade! All hands are working, just keep about it. - Just get me another saw! - We need a saw! Give me a saw! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Katie! Happy birthday to you! Gotta make a wish first. I wish for a Barbie girl. You're not supposed to say it aloud. But will I get it now?
Blow at the candles, baby. Sorry, I'm late. That's for the birthday girl, that's for Nicky. - You shouldn't do this. - Yeah, let Barbie be jealous. Hey, happy birthday! Don't you love this place? Sitting here at night, watching the romantic lights of the old finery. Beauty and the beast, it's a hell of a book! It's good, I remember it before. - I put the kids to sleep. - You're good at baby sitting! What do I think I do at the firehouse? - Good night. - Good night. - Good night, Mike! Thanks! - You're welcome. I think we're alone now. Pray with us? Shouldn't you be gone by now? I guess I lost my keys, have you seen them? Yeah, about the doorway, you left them. - Hey, dad. - Yeah. Can we take T.J. to the game next Saturday? Game next Saturday! Yeah, definitely, that's okay with Billy too. You forget? We with guys planned a fishing trip.
- You don't have to... - No, no, I want to. What is it? It's a tree. Yeah, it is a tree. That's pretty. - Love you guys, see you tomorrow. - Bye. What's the matter, are you done? - Yeah, I think so. - I'll take a look at that bike tomorrow. Engine 33, Engine 13. Truck 49, truck 16. Retail chief's, respond blocks line. Units alarm 33-4. Alarm system is active. Possible steam leaks and play ruptures. Units are excercising extreme pressure. - Tommy, check out that stairs. - All right. Okay, let's go. Come on! Captain, let's find Tommy and get the hell out of here. - Over here! - Tommy! - Hey Jack, you find anyone? - No, nobody. Let's get the hell out of here. Let's go, let's go! Go on the chopper, Tommy.
Take him to the mobile. Tommy! We're putting you on chopper and taking you to hospital! Let's go! What's wrong? I got a lot of work. - Are you okay? - Yeah. I'll go to bed. I'll be with you in a second. Come on Nicky, get upstairs and brush your teeth. Nicky, did you brush your teeth? What's going on? Are you okay? You don't look very good. - Hey dad? - Yeah. Does steam ready blow your face away. Who told you that? July Custer, she said that Alex's dad's face is blowed away to the skin. Yeah well, steam can burn your skin. But then skin grows back in it's place. Tommy's face got burned, but his skin will grow back. Does it hurt? Yeah, when it happens. I don't want you been hurt anymore, dad. Well, we're trained not to get hurt, Nick. Long before you were born, I was training. Somethimes I think it may happed. Like with Alex' dad.
We're not afraid till we do it to save people. You know it's worth to save people, isn't it? - Yes. - And if things do go wrong uncle Mike, all my friends in the firehouse, you know they never let anything happen to me. Yeah. Will you do me a favor? You tell July Custer, that Alex's dad got burned trying to save people. But he's gonna be okay. Can you do that for me? - Hi, can I help you? - Tommy Drake? - You're not gonna go in? - There's a nurse inside, I thought maybe I come back another time. No, it's fine. You can go in now. She's on the stall with his transfer. Excuse me? How's he doing? We have him on medication to control the pain. - Jack. - How are you, man? Doing fine, body, how you're doing? Doctor says I'm gonna make it. You know they have they put dead man skin on me. Maria wants my kids come by. And I don't want them too. Of course she wants to bring the kids, they wanna see you. I'm scared, Jack. I was a hero, you know?
I was a hero, kids don't forget things like this. I don't know, maybe it'll be best if I could not make it. Don't say that. Don't say that. Hey Tommy, you are one of the best firemen in the country. I don't think your kids love you cause your look. You're their dad. I don't know. How did he look? Good. Is he in a lot of pain? No matter, he will get up soon. I want to go see him. Why? Because he's our friend. Do what you want. - Are you telling me you don't want me to go? - I don't want you to go. Why? Cause you're gonna see him, you're gonna get freaked out, there's be more for you to worry about. More for me to worry about or more for you to worry about, Jack? Linda, don't tell me you don't worry. If you want to be honest, be honest. - Are you trying to pick a fight? - I don't worry about damn fight! I tell you the job is good one. Big office, secretary, too much pay for. - You gotta to cheer up. - Jack, stop popping, everybody's gonna work on Christmas. What's with you?
Hey Santa, who is this? That's not missis Claus, cause I remember missis Claus. That is definitely not her. Maybe I have to come slide down your chimney tonight? I saw Linda kissing... I'm okay. I'm okay. What a hell is wrong with you? - What's wrong with you? - Nothing. We gotta talk. - I kicked his ass too. - Yeah, you did. - Do you want anything else? - No, thank you. You're gonna get calm down? Do you still love the job like you used to? You've been through a lot. What can I say? You lost your best friend, gone through some bad fires. Seen a lot of bodies hurt. How's the kids? That's tough. That's tough. See, now the problem is, I was married, my wife hated me being a firefighter, we got divorced nine months later. You're different, you are a good father, you worry. But you should worry. You know, maybe it's time for a change of your scenery? I was thinking there's a job down at headquarters, head position, do you like me to put your name in for?
Are you saying I ain't go to the firehouse? Well, I'm saying that you should ask yourself that question. Maybe go home talk to Linda. You know, be honest with yourself? Nothing wrong with moving on. I did it. So what did he say? Mike may have me transferred. What does that mean for us? I'll be home nights. 70 cents an hour increase to pay. Is that what you want? I don't know. It's been so crazy lately. You know, our kids are scared. I see you upset and... that's terrible. So this is about me and the kids again, is it? We're married ten years, when you do this, it's hard for me sometimes. And I do get scared. But I deal with it. I'm proud of you. You know, Mike asked me tonight, if I still love the job the way I did. And the first time in my life. I didn't know what to say. From midnight till the current hour, snow has been progressing into our area, and you can see just acids night hour, around see immediate, near metro area. We're going to get 6 calls tonight. Got it. Lenny! Lenny! Don't worry about it, it's a third floor!
I got it, I got it, let's go! - What's going on? - Frozen! Are you okay? How old are you, son? - Where's your mom and dad? - Shopping. The left you alone? I was with Jenny. Who is Jenny? My cousin, she was baby sitting. Where do you live, where's your appartment, show me! That one? Hello? Fire department! Hello? Hello? Fire department! Anybody hear me? That's fire department! Hello? Anybody there? Hello? Hello? Help! Help! Help! Does anybody hear me? - Jack! - Help!
- Jack! - I'm over here! Grab her legs! Let's go! One, two, three, four, five. Go. One, two, three, four, five. Go. One, two, three, four, five. Go. One, two, three, four, five. Go. One, two, three, four, five. Go. I got something! - Good job! - Thank you. Nice work, guys. Jack, you're bleeding. Get it treated. Your shift's over. Merry Christmas. On the night of Christmas eve. Firefighters, Jack Morrison and Leonard Richter entered a blazing appartment block despite enormous danger to themselves, and saved a young girls life. Now normally I would present the medals, but today we have someone more important, and sertainly better looking. Jenny Buckley. Firefighter Jack Morrison. I'm Jenny's dad. Thank you. Firefighter Leonard Richter.
Come on! - Come on, let's go! - Give me your hand! Come on, this way! Let's go! Come on, we need equipment up here! All units deport to 11 floor now! Jack, come in Jack! Chief, I'm behind wall. - Is everybody all right? - Ladder 49, to command. Expedition interior radio rapidly! Ladder 49, there's a control room, straight ahead. Keep going, just keep going! Jack, they're on their way! Command, stand by, I need door. I need door! Jack, unit is close. You just hang on there Jack, hang on. - Come on, guys! - Where is the door! - Jack, hold on! - Open it up! Hold on, Jack! Open the door! Close it! Close it! Ladder 49 to command! We can't get in! Jack, talk to me.
Jack, talk to me! Mike, it's too late. Listen to me, it's no good. Pull them up. Mike? Tell Linda I love her. That I loved her from second I saw her. Do you hear me? Yeah, I hear you. Promise to take care of my kids. Tell them that I'll be always with them. You tell them that, do you hear me? I will. Command all units evacuate building immediately. All units reporting clear, the building is clear, we're all out. Copy that. It's never an easy thing. Saying good bye to a brother firefighter. And this time is particularly difficult for me because I watched Jack growing to a one of the finest firefighters I've ever known. He joined this department because he wanted to help people. Who knows how many homes is still standing because Jack was there. How many lives were spared. He gave his life for that cause. We'll never forget you, Jack. And we are better for ever knowing you. But I make you this one promise, tomorrow we will be back on the truck. Because you was the bravest of the brave. People are always asking me: How is it that firefighters run to a burning building, when everyone else is running out?
Jack, he would answer that question by saving another man's life. Your courage is the answer. And today we will be as brave as you. I'm not mourning you, I'm celebrating your life. So I'd like everyone to stand up and celebrate the life of Jack Morrison. (narrator) In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories. Double chai latte, half caf, whipped cream. Bathroom this way? [People chattering] [Cell phone ringing] Hold on. Hello? The quarterly reports aren't on your desk 'cause you asked me to pick them up on my way in. Not good. They spiral-bound them. Yes, I know that makes you crazy. That's why they're redoing them as we speak. I told him, velo binding. No, I can't hand him the phone. He said it'd take 20 minutes, so I ran next door for a cup of... Damn it! Oh. [Lana grunting] (Lana) What? What the hell is this? (Morales) Digital CCD, waterproofed, pinhole lens. A spy camera.
Taking some very candid photos. Video, actually. High resolution. Do you have any idea how long it's been here? These puppies burn batteries pretty quickly. Three, four hours, tops. 30 percent power remaining. It was set up less than two hours ago. So where's the video? The camera was hooked up to this micro-transmitter. Could've been recording as far as a block away. Or as close as the next room. Getting way too easy to invade someone's privacy. A guy just has to turn on his computer and pick up the signal. Peeping Toms have gone high-tech on us. You used to have to go outside and hide in the bushes. Now you can violate somebody by sitting in front of your computer enjoying a cup of coffee. Which one of them is a pervert? The guy who downloaded the most crap. Where are we on the potty perv? I've got a thumbprint on the bottom of the transmitter but no matches. Any of the cafe patrons looking good? The ones that'd used the john just looked freaked out. TARU searched the hard drives. Nothing. Figure our guy was watching it live, high-tailed it out of there when the complaining witness found the camera. Gives a whole new meaning to "live, streaming video." You're either looking for a urophiliac, that's a sexual attraction to urine or a copraphiliac. That's... Okay, let's not go there.
This stuff I just don't get. Well, these aren't heavily-studied paraphilias, but they're often the result of an abusive childhood. The outside world is so hostile that these kids turn inward on themselves. And then they become fixated by their bodily functions. This guy dangerous? Probably not. But he's antisocial. The crime's voyeuristic and he didn't have any physical contact with his victims. Still, we've already got more calls on this guy than on the Midtown Rapist, and I'd like to put him out of commission. Maybe we can track him down through his spy-cam equipment. (Vic) You name it, we can put a camera in it. Alarm clocks, buttons, shoes... Now what do you need a camera in your shoe for unless you gonna look up a girl's dress? Hey, this is a legit business. I sell a lot to the Department. I'm a licensed PI myself. (Munch) What's this? Hmm, pedophiles must love this thing. (Vic) It's a nanny-cam in the left eye. Who knows how many young lives this has saved? We talked to one of your competitors. He said he thought this looked like your work. Well, it could be. I don't do the special orders myself. (Munch) Who does? Charlie. Works in the back. Parts are from various kits. No serial numbers. Really no way of tracing' it.
Did you put it together? Look, I do so many custom jobs, it's really hard to keep it all straight. Charlie, unless this is a cleverly disguised camera, that information should be in here, right? Let me try searching for an order using the same various components, okay? [Keyboard clicking] No, no. How many itty-bitty cameras could you have made? In the last year? About 500. Well, this one was waterproof, so that's got to narrow it down. Hey, wait a minute, this might be something. Six months ago, a customer came in and he ordered five of them. What's his name? "F.E. Tischman." "Fetish Man." "Fetishmanor. Net." Are you in charge here? I'm the production manager. Gil Tanner. Oh, your call was a half-an-hour ago. Get your asses in there. Keep your pants on. We're coming. Gil, what exactly are you shooting in there? (Gil) Porn. All perfectly legal. Broadcast live over the internet 24l7. (Fin) Anything goes? As long as no one gets hurt.
We supply the models, you direct the action. We've got more positions than the Kama Sutra. You must have a lot of cameras to catch all those angles. Closed set. Uh, yeah, the house has over a 100. Including five toilet cams? There's only one in the bowl itself. Our heavy hits are in the showers and the hot tubs. (woman on PA) Gil, we've got a situation with the Chinese Spinning Basket. Copy. I'm on it. Hey, Gil. You ever shoot on location? Like, say, a coffee house? Why? I've got a one-stop fetish shop right here. It's an f'in cash cow. So all of your toilet cams are accounted for, huh? Believe me, I'd be the first to know if that website went dark. Feel free to check it out. Can you believe this fetishmanor. Net had over 300,000 hits? Casey says we don't have enough to subpoena their subscriber lists. (Stabler) No, ma'am, we haven't recovered any videos yet. To be honest, I have no idea how we're going to identify the victims. Liv, uh, Mr. Carson here saw the video voyeur on the news. He needs to talk to somebody about it. I take it you used the facility at the cafe yesterday? No, I work in the building next door. He believes he might have run into our perp.
A gentleman with a laptop. Where? On the sidewalk. I was getting off a taxi and this guy practically knocked me over getting into it. What time? 8:30. How do you know he was coming from the cafe? I recognized their logo on the coffee cup, which he spilled all over me. Okay. Can you describe him? White, late 20s, dark hair. About my height and wore glasses. Are you on an expense account? Yeah, why? Well, your receipt can tell us the cab number. The dispatcher should be able to tell us where he dropped him off. We're looking for a computer geek who carries a laptop? I don't know his name, but sounds like someone I've seen in the building. Do you know which apartment? First door on the right. That'd be 1A. 1A is "Donato." Know anything else about him? Just that he creeps me out. He never makes eye contact, just stares at people's asses. Mr. Donato! [People chattering on TV] TV's on. Somebody's home. If there's any poetic justice, we caught him in the bathroom.
Hey, if it isn't Charlie the spy girl. You know her? She's the technician from the camera shop. What do you want now? Let's take another crack at who you made that toilet cam for. Here's a clue: He lives in this apartment. It's my baby brother Wade. You live together? Well, I'm actually... He has trouble holding down a job and he asked if he could spend a few weeks on my couch and it turned into three years. Now that's sisterly love: Free room, and board, and surveillance equipment. Look, you guys, this is my fault, you know. I should have never made it for him. You knew that he was a pervert. He's not. He... he's just troubled. I've always had to look out for him. We didn't have a pleasant childhood, right? You seem to be high functioning. Wade took the brunt of the abuse. He's a very sensitive boy. I think the people he caught with their pants down might disagree. Is this where the little peeper keeps his stuff? Please don't, Wade doesn't want anyone touching' his things. Just a peek. No. Charlie. Your brother is sick, okay?
You're not doing him any favors. Help us stop him so we can get him the counseling he needs. (Benson) "Urine Luck"? (Munch) It must be good. They're sequels. What are you doing? Admiring your video collection. Wade, these are detectives. They know. I didn't break any laws. You did if you took any of these without the subject's consent. Now, uh, these look homemade, Wade. I can explain. Let's go back to our place. You'll love our facilities. Seriously, Wade, just tell me. What do you get out of it? I really don't feel like discussing it. Wade, I've got to commend you on your fine penmanship. Our friend here has been keeping a journal, detailing his toilet tour of Manhattan. You had no right to read that. You had no right to shoot the crap. The witness you ran over fleeing from the scene of the crime positively ID'ed you. That's how we got our search warrant. I can't stand people touching my things. Did you get anything off his computer? Footage from the cafe, yeah. Oh, did he write about it in his journal? Try May 2, 8:05 a.m. Please don't do this.
"Female subject, fat butt. Urination, 33-second duration, marigold yellow." I wasn't hurting anyone. No, you violated hundreds of people. The videos were for my own private use. No one else was ever gonna see them. Just let me pay the fine so I can go. It doesn't work that way anymore. They passed Stephanie's Law in August. (Benson) Video voyeurism is now an E-felony. One to four years. Per count. No way. You serve those consecutively, you're lookin' at a life sentence. I wanna make a deal. (Stabler) Well, unfortunately, you don't have anything we want. No, I do. A real crime. Yeah, what is it? If you catch the guy, will you reduce my sentence? Depends. What have you got? Check out DVD 62 about an hour in. (Munch) This is from two weeks ago. (Stabler) "Saturday, 1:00 p.m." I'll spare you the details. The next one's three minutes after this. It's marked "NS." What's "NS"? "No Specimen." Here we go.
(Fin) Oh, no. Not a kid. (Benson) Check out his right eye. It looks like he's been attacked. (Cragen) Recently. Maybe he ran in there to hide? Look, the door's shaking. (Stabler) Someone must have followed him in. (Fin) Don't open the door. The camera's going out. The toilet perv caught a sexual assault. And didn't do a thing to stop it. You watched that boy being molested? What are you doing? Look. Oh! Where were you? Where were you? I don't know what you're talking about. You were standing right outside. No. Watching. No, no. I saw it later. Wade, don't lie to me. That's not your MO. You like a live show. You saw that whole thing go down, you didn't even help? What was I supposed to do? Help him!
Yeah, I told the cops that I caught the whole thing on my toilet cam. Where did it happen? Central Park. The camera didn't catch the guy's face. Describe him. I was on a bench 50 yards away. I never saw him. (Morales) Can't get what's not there. All we have is the perp's blue sweatshirt and jeans. (Fin) What about the boy? We'll never get an ID. It's too grainy. We have some new technology on loan from NASA. Let's see what it can do. The software is a video image stabilization system called VISAR. (Munch) That's what they used to solve that car wash abduction down in Florida. That's amazing. You could see just how fresh the cut over his eye is. Not to mention eye color: Blue. (Morales) I'll print it out for you. No, hold on, hold on. Go back out. There's a section that we kept replaying. We couldn't quite make it out. Right there. Go back a few frames. [Keyboard clicking] Zoom in. Something in the perp's hand.
Can you enhance it? [Computer beeps] That's an athletic cup. He must have been playing some kind of sport in the park. He's wearing a soccer jersey. Well, that explains the cut over his eye. Probably got injured during the game. Yeah, which the pedophile may have been watching. (Morales) Guys, we've got something else. (Munch) What? The nails are manicured. The tips are white. Our molester is a woman. [Sighing] Well, that certainly narrows the suspect pool. Only 10 percent of all pedophiles are female. That we know of. It's definitely understudied and probably underreported. Patrol had a walk in the park that day. No one reported so much as a mugging. Which bathroom are we talking about? Wade says that it was close to the Boathouse Cafe. The nearest facility is Midtown here. There're a lot of practice fields in that area. The journal said the attack occurred around 1:03 p.m. I checked the team schedules. The closest field reserved for soccer was Vipers vs. Bulldogs. The boy's jersey was red and black. That's the Bulldogs. (Cragen) Talk to their coach.
(Phil) That's Shane Madden, our star forward. Anything unusual happen at that game? Yeah, we were actually winning for once until Shane got thrown out. For what? Fighting with the other team's sweeper. Any adults get involved? Shane's mom ran onto the field: A real piece of work. How so? She's got a little too much team spirit in the liquid form. So she was drunk. Sure wasn't feeling any pain, not even when she fell on her ass. Trying to break up a fight? No. Joining in. She assaulted a kid? Verbally. She slipped in the mud before she could reach him and then she teetered off to clean herself up. I assume to the nearest restroom. How long after all that did Shane leave? Right away. He never came back. Any other women leave the game around that time? Not that I noticed. What school does Shane go to? Trumpet section, last chair on the right. You noticed any behavioral changes in the last two weeks? I don't have much interaction with him. Shane's a good student. Only problem cases get sent to the principal's office.
We're gonna need to speak to his homeroom teacher. Uh, Fred Moynihan, Room 109. Do you have a place where we can speak to Shane privately? You're welcome to use my office. Go ahead and pull him out, please. I don't know what you're talking about. Shane. It was caught on tape. There was a hidden camera in the bathroom. It wasn't me. (Stabler) Well, it looks just like you. Even wearing your jersey. Who was it? Is it a stranger or someone you know? A stranger. (Benson) Can you describe her? Why? I thought you had her picture. We do. We just need you to tell us anything you can remember about her. You know what, I... I really don't want to do this. Shane, you have nothing to be ashamed of. You didn't do anything wrong. You guys suck. What happened? We're gonna need to talk to his parents. I don't know. There's just a mother and I use the term loosely. So you know about her problem?
She came to speak to the kids on Career Day. It was horrible. Great lesson on the perils of drinking, though. What exactly is Mrs. Madden's career? A beautician. She works at a place called Creme de la Crop. The little girls just love him. They call him all the time. Ma'am, do you understand what happened to your son? He's a gorgeous kid, just like his father. Girls couldn't keep their hands off him either. Well, we're talking about an adult. Who would do something like that? (Benson) We understand that you had a little mishap at the game. Some idiot knocked me in a mud puddle. Where'd you go to clean yourself up? Bathroom. Happen to run into your son there? No. Would you mind if we took a look at your nails? Why? What the hell are you implying? Just that you both were in the restroom at the same time. I used the one at the Boathouse Cafe and then stayed for a drink. All right, how long were you there for? Oh, let's see. I was finishing my second beverage when Shane came and pulled me out. Did he say anything about what had happened? No, but who talks about sex with their mother? Did you notice any female spectators who didn't have a son there?
Cindy Bellamy. (Benson) And who's that? Shane's babysitter until about a month ago. Used to love her, but one day ups and throws a fit. Says he doesn't need her anymore. What was she doin' there? I have no idea. [People chattering] I went to more of Shane's games than his own mom. Uh, while I was there, I networked a little, picked up three other gigs. So you were babysittin' another kid that day? Yeah, Davey Auerbach. (Cindy) Come on, Alex, Dylan? Five minute time-out. Separate rooms, come on. Told you. (Munch) You've got quite a way with the boys there. Yeah, I'm strict, but I always make sure they have fun. And 12 to 15 hours is nothing to sneeze at. Shame you were fired from the Madden gig. Shane said he was too old for a babysitter. (Fin) But too young for a girlfriend. [Birds chirping] I'd never do that to a kid. I'm dating one of my professors. I like them older. Now if you'll excuse me. Did you talk to Shane at that game? Yeah.
I asked if things had gotten any better with his mom. (Munch) There was a problem? She's a total alky. I heard she was really knocking' them back at that game. I can't tell you how many times I was babysitting, she showed up hours late, blotto. A lot of times with a younger guy than who she left with. Must be rough on Shane. God knows what he's seen. When she's drunk, Mrs. Madden has no idea what she's doing. We're seriously looking at the mother? She was in the vicinity at the time of the attack. Witnesses say she was drunk. And when she drinks, she gets horny for younger guys. When I was on the bottle, I woke up with my share of regrettable bedmates. But her own son? (Fin) The more you drink, the blinder you get. And her alcoholic blackouts are legend. We canvassed the building. Everyone had a horror story. Like the time she woke up so drunk she couldn't find her own bathroom. Ended up pounding on a neighbor's door at 3:00 a.m., asking to use his. Naked. So at the very least, we're looking at an unfit mother. Where's the father? Babysitter said he split years ago. Apparently Shane took over some of his duties. Okay, but in the bedroom? You know how big a role alcohol plays in sexual assault. Before we stagger down this road, let's not rule out other possibilities.
Shane's team has a game tomorrow. It should be the same crowd. Chat up the cheering sections, see if anybody saw anything. [Children chattering] Check out the redhead. Blue sweatshirt and jeans. Just like the perp in the video. Ma'am? Yes? "Soccer Mom." That's what it says. You got a boy on the team? Do you? No, but we'd like to talk to you about your outfit. What about it? Did you wear it to the game two weeks ago? I wear it to all the games. The Booster Club pushes them to pay for the pizza parties. Every mom in the league's got one. Of course I bought a shirt. Got to support my little man! [Cheering] Probably appreciate it a lot more if you were sober. Screw you. Ma'am, have you been drinking? No. No? Mind if I examine your travel cup? Oops. Okay, Mrs. Madden, you're in violation of Code 10-125 and we could arrest you right now.
What do you want from me? Is this a school team? No, it's sponsored through the city. Shane's principal, Mrs. Rice, does she have a son on the team? (Jackie) No. [Children shouting] What's she doing here? Awfully close to the student body. She's awful popular around here. Looks like she has a thing for young boys in uniform. Principal Rice? Hey, good to see you again. Detectives. (Stabler) Who's this young man? Jason. My son. Really? You look way too young to have a son this age. Stepson. (Benson) Oh. His team just won. Congratulations. Do you play in the same league as Shane? Jason's 14. He's in an older division. But it's the same league. (Stabler) Where's your "Soccer Mom" shirt? I'm not big on sweatshirts. What are you talkin' about? You wear that stupid thing all the time.
Yeah? Does your mom come to all your games? Oh, yeah. She's a diehard soccer fan. Must be. We saw you hanging out at the Pee-Wee League. I ran into a student. (Benson) Shane Madden. Did you run into him two weeks ago? No. I'm sorry. We're late for a pizza party. [People chattering] What do we know about the principal? No criminal records. Just a lifetime of good deeds. A stint in the Peace Corps, volunteer work, set up an adult literacy program. She was IS-41's Teacher of the Year in '96 and '98, promoted to principal three years ago. Nice gig for a pedophile. Absolute power over all those kids. It's just odd that there's never been so much as an allegation. What about her personal life? Married seven years to an architect, one stepson. Who happens to be two years older than the victim. Well, most pedophiles don't get caught with their first victim. Maybe she was fooling around with the stepson. Easy access. That's assuming that she's our perp. Can we place her at the game in question? We just sat through two riveting hours of a soccer video that I wrangled from some dad.
No signs of the principal, but he did catch Shane's mom falling' on her ass. Well, the outfit's a crime, but it's not a match. Rules her out. Principal Rice had to have been there. Her kid said she goes to all of his games. We checked out where her stepson plays. The restroom is between the two fields. Come on, that's circumstantial, at best. Captain, you weren't there today. She couldn't get away from us fast enough. She never gave us a chance to find out what she and Shane were talking about. Ask him. Check out the stepson. (Fin) How do you get along with Meredith? Great. For a stepmom. Well, for any mom. I really got lucky with her. It sounds like you two are pretty tight. Well, I was a brat when she first moved in, but she's totally cool now. How so? Well, she helps with homework, comes to all my games, boring school plays, exciting stuff like that. Sounds good. No, it doesn't. What are you doin' here? Just checkin' in. You always come to school early to practice? Well, the noise, it, uh, gives my mom headaches. Well, I don't think it's your playing that gives her a headache. You know, Shane,
I know you've got a tough situation at home. My mom, she, uh, she just needs extra help, you know? She gets sick a lot. Yeah. When you feel like talking to someone, that's my business card and you can give these people a call. Alateen? What's that? It's a support group for children of alcoholics. Thanks. [Sighing] Let's talk about your situation here at school. There's no situation. With Principal Rice. What about her? [Bell ringing] I have to get to class. We have her on tape. No, you don't. In that restroom. Yeah, we do. We talked to her. She won't say anything to you. Well, she has been getting a little weird lately. How so? She and my dad have been fighting. That's what married folks do. Yeah, but not them. They never fought before. [Children chattering] It's getting really bad, too.
She even yelled at me. What did you get from the stepson? Nothing to indicate he'd been molested. What about Shane? He give her up? As good as. I just couldn't get him to say it. Not enough to remove a principal from school. Which way is the teacher's lounge? Meredith Rice. She's as straight-laced as they come, but the kids still love her. Did you ever see her interact with Shane Madden? Actually, she's pulled him from my class a couple of times recently. For what? I don't know. Shane handed me a note excusing him from gym class. Tell you the truth, I thought it was fake. Why is that? Looked like a kid wrote it. But I double-checked. Mrs. Rice confirmed it was her handwriting. Hey, hey, hey, hey. If Shane Madden passed through here, odds are he was written up. Should be here in the Disciplinary Action File. [Children chattering] (Benson) Principal Rice didn't write all these, did she? (Williams) In a public school, a lot of at-risk kids. I mean the handwriting. It looks like different people wrote these. No.
Meredith meets with each one of them. [Children chattering] You're right, she is getting a little sloppy. Something weighing on her mind? She has been distracted lately, but aren't we all? So close to summer break. Hmm, nothing on Shane. Is Principal Rice available? Oh, I'm sorry. She's not back yet. Where is she? Home. Family emergency. (Stabler) Mr. Rice, have you had any contact with your wife? No, just tell me. Is she in some kind of danger, one of her problem students? Mr. Rice, how's your marriage? W-What? What are you talking about? We heard you were fighting. That's none of your business. Well, actually, it might be. At the time that your wife left school, a young man, a student, also went missing. So what, you think he kidnapped her? We think she kidnapped him. What are you talking about? Your wife's been molesting that boy. That's a lie. We have it on tape. I'm sorry.
Have you noticed any inappropriate behavior between Meredith and your son? [Grunting] Now, I've got a 12-year-old boy who's in danger out there, and I need you to tell me what is going on with your wife! What is going on with her? I don't know. She's changed. No. She's changed, hasn't she? Yes. Yes. Please let me go. Relax. [Panting] She's changed. She hasn't been herself lately. She... She's preoccupied. She snaps at any little thing. She's... And in the bedroom she's insatiable. Are you telling me that she's screwed... She's not getting enough so she's screwing a little boy on the side? We just need to find her. Now do you have any idea where she might go? No. Does she have access to a car? We have a car, but we don't use it very often. Could you check with the garage? I got 911'ed out of my VICAP meeting. We got a cluster?
Shane Madden went missing'. As did Principal Rice. We're thinking they're together? Yeah, and getting out of Dodge. Husband hasn't heard from her and she took his car. Long gone by now. We get out an APB? And an Amber alert. And unfortunately, the blue Ford Taurus is a very popular make and model. We're getting possible sightings from highways in the Tri-State area. She's gotta stop for food or gas at some point. We're tracking her ATM and credit cards? So far, no pops. She's either using cash or Shane's piggy-bank. Husband said the tank was near-empty. We've got a sighting. Where? Edgewater, New Jersey. Trucker's right behind them on the exit. Well, that's just outside the city. How sure is he it's them? He gave me the full plate number. Get movin'. [Police siren wailing] (policeman) Get out of the vehicle! Move in! (Stabler) Shane? (Benson) Back seat! (Stabler) Shane! (Shane) Help!
(Benson) Exit the vehicle! Hands where we can see 'em! Go away! (Benson) Comply, now. Buddy, are you okay? I'm fine, but she's not. She... she's been throwing up. Please don't let them hurt her. Let's go. She's sick. All right. She's sick. You're under arrest for sexual assault and kidnapping of a minor. You have the right to remain silent. You give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. My head is splitting. I think I need a doctor. (Stabler) We've got a great company shrink you can see. You've got to be out of your mind to be running off with a sixth grader. I am not crazy. I know it's wrong. Good. Taking responsibility. That's the first step to setting it right. Look, you don't understand. That day at the soccer field was the first time. So help me understand what happened. He was crying. I followed him in there to make sure he was okay. The next thing I know, we're having sex.
And that seems like a perfectly natural segue to you? Yes. You didn't notice that Shane was trying to get away from you? The first time. But after that, he couldn't get enough. It was his idea to run. You always take orders from sixth graders? My life is fallin' apart and I don't know why. Now look, what are you gonna do? You're obviously attracted to young boys. This is a nightmare. I swear I have never done anything like this before. What, being caught? You have. On tape. Now you've to deal with it. I am not a pedophile. I love my husband. I love my job. I'll bet you do. A lot of young boys to choose from. Stop it. Tell me what you did to the child. That's a bad idea. Come on, let's get it on. Are you crazy? You're out of your mind! [Groaning] Is there a problem here? No problem.
I think she's going for an insanity defense. [Grunting] She's having a seizure. Call an ambulance. (Benson) The tox screen is clean. We're still waiting for the head CT. Oh, yeah. I don't know what the hell happened in there. It was an accident. She assaulted you and you have witnesses, Elliot. Rat Squad IAB at 2:00. Sgt. Tucker. Det. Stabler. Sorry to interrupt your beauty sleep, but I'll be waiting for my union rep. Smart move if you got something to hide. He was sexually assaulted. Oh, what a surprise. The partner's gonna back him up. Yeah, how would you feel if a perp had your boys in a vise grip? Cuff her, not bash her brains in. I thought I used appropriate force. I was just reading up about your thoughts. Suspended four years ago for tellin' the company shrink you, uh, dreamed about killin' pedophiles. Thought about it, never did it. You're gettin' closer and closer. (Beresford) Detectives? How is she? Not good. We found something in her CT.
We're rushing her into surgery right now. From a blow to the head? No. This was a pre-existing condition. Brain tumor, the size of a baseball. [Woman chattering on PA system] We were in there eight hours. It looks like we got it all. Great. Now here's my problem. The law says she needs to be arraigned within 24 hours of her arrest. Uh, I just opened up this woman's skull, and excised a malignant lesion 9 centimeters long. I'm afraid you're gonna miss that deadline. Well, I've gotten an abeyance, but I still need to proceed in a timely manner. She'll be in the hospital for five, six days. All right, that's fine. I can get a judge and a clerk down here for a bedside arraignment. I wasn't aware that judges made house calls. Just tell me when she'll be lucid enough to be swearable. May I ask what exactly is she charged with? She molested a 12-year-old whom she subsequently kidnapped. [Sighing] You do know that frontal lobe damage can diminish impulse control. This woman knew what she was doing was wrong. You know, that's right. The area of the brain that stores moral knowledge is not affected, but look at this. This is Meredith's head CT. The tumor is here. In the right orbitofrontal cortex which controls behavior.
That's fascinating, but I'm not performing brain surgery here. I'm just trying to get a pedophile off the street. Without the tumor, she might not be one anymore. So what? Give her a doctor's note? "Please excuse Meredith for molesting boys. She had a bad tumor." To tell you the truth, this looks like a textbook case of acquired sociopathy. Well, how do I know the tumor caused it? Maybe she'd been a predator all along, and the tumor just made her sloppy? I doubt it. Shane is our only known victim. Not as of this morning. Three additional boys have come forward. Raped? No, one sent to her office was hugged and kissed. The other two were fondled. When? All in the last month. She's committed multiple felonies. She has to pay for them. Not if she lacked the mens rea. It's obvious that the lesion disinhibited her. The question you have to answer is: Did she act on these pedophilic tendencies before the tumor? And are those tendencies still there? Understand, this test is still in the experimental stages. So we'll be viewing her PET scan in here while she's watching the erotic videos on those goggles. Yeah, brain-mapping is not an exact science yet. But we do know the areas of the brain that respond to arousal and pleasure.
And we'll be able to view activity on the anterior singulate? Trust me, you won't. I no longer have those feelings. What is that exactly? It's a very tiny amount of radiation. The same exposure you'd get flying across the country five times. We're good to go. How're you feeling? Like my old self again. Well, we really appreciate your cooperation. I want to do this. Hopefully, this test will give us some answers. Please believe me. I tried to stop. Did you? I knew it was wrong. But the urges were so strong that they just took over my mind, my body. L... I couldn't control myself. Every day it got worse. I am the last person who would ever do anything like this. Why? I know the damage it can cause. When did it happen to you? It started when I was eight. It lasted four years. Was it someone that you knew? Someone I loved. My grandfather. (Dr. Morella) Ready?
(Stabler) So that's a pedophile's brain, huh? No, this is. One who's currently incarcerated. According to Meredith Rice's PET scan, she's no longer a threat to society. She showed no reaction to the pedophilic stimuli. If she had, the area right in here would be red. Unless it meets the Daubert test for scientific reliability, it's not admissible in court. Well, look at the handwriting. I mean, it went back to normal as soon as the tumor was removed. So what do we do, we let her go? Oh, if we let her off, it opens the door for every rapist and violent criminal who wants to find a medical excuse. Yeah, and tomorrow there'll be a run on the PET scan lab. Wouldn't it be great if that was true, if we could actually isolate the part of the brain that makes somebody a pedophile? And they could be fixed. How? Mandatory screenings at birth to zap some part of the brain we don't even know exists? The tumor changed her behavior, but that alone didn't make her a pedophile. She had a lower set point to begin with. (Benson) What the hell is that supposed to mean? She was molested as a child, and like having any predisposition to high blood pressure or cholesterol, she had a higher risk of becoming an offender. But she never acted on it until the tumor wiped out her impulse control. I found a similar case in Virginia. Upstanding citizen, loving husband and father, became a pedophile out of the blue. Let me guess. Same brain tumor. It was discovered in jail. It was removed and he was considered cured. (Benson) Did they release him? Yeah. A year later, he molested again.
So it wasn't the tumor at all? No, it was the tumor. It had just grown back. So it's not her fault and she's perfectly cured, but if the lesion recurs, she'll do it again. What are you gonna do, Counselor? She pleads to Rape Three, five years probation and periodic psychiatric and medical evaluations. We might be amenable to that. I'm not done yet. She's also not to have any future contact with any of her victims. Of course not. There are already restraining orders in place. We're not contesting them. And she registers as a sex offender. What? Come on, Casey. Is that really necessary? (Novak) Yes. The registry was set up to protect the public from sexual predators at risk of offending again. But that's not me. This only happened because of the tumor. What are you going to do if it grows back? She gets branded a sex offender, she can never work in the school system again. She can never work with kids. Better safe than sorry. Then I think we'll take our chances at trial. This is a noble woman who suffered a freak brain tumor. Everyone fears the Big C. Once I remind the jurors it could happen to any one of them, they'll acquit. (Rice) No. I'll take the plea.
Meredith, you don't need to do that. Yes, I do. She's right. The children have to be protected. It's a responsibility I need to take. You're getting pretty good. It doesn't matter. I dropped out of band... and soccer. [Siren wailing] If I could, I'd drop out of school. Kids giving you a hard time? Jason Rice slugged me in the cafeteria. He said he'd kick my ass for busting up his family. He said he'd kill me. I'll talk to him, okay? Why won't she talk to me? I must have called her a 100 times and she never picked up. Shane, she can't. She goes to jail if she does. She talked to me. She cared about me. I thought she loved me. Shane, she was very sick. And what she did, it's... it's not your fault. And she's better now, but I gotta tell you, I'm more concerned about you. [Sobs] I just wanna die. Then we're going to get you some help. Trust me, you're gonna get over this.
The real damage hasn't even begun to set in for Shane. This kid's gonna need extensive therapy. And a strong support system. He's not gonna get that at home. Not with his mother. I think she's the reason why Shane was susceptible to a mother figure in the first place. The kid's so screwed up, he doesn't even know he's a victim. He still thinks he's in love with Meredith. It's unfortunate that his first sexual experience was non-consensual. But it's even worse that he developed feelings for his abuser. (Benson) What are the odds that he's going to have a healthy sex life? Not good. But they're ideal that he'll become an offender himself. The cycle of abuse just keeps turning. So when he grows up, he's gonna have a low opinion of women and be able to rationalize having sex with a child. How do you stop that from happening? (Huang) I think the answer lies in Meredith herself. If she truly wants to help Shane, she'll let us study her brain. Maybe we can really locate the part that creates a pedophile and then fix it. Meredith Rice hasn't changed. Patrol just responded to an incident at her address. (Bamford) My partner's with the victim. She took a pretty bad beating. She's going after another boy? This one fought back. You've got it backwards. There's no boy involved. So who attacked her? You heard the woman. She's not pressing charges.
I am. Oh, Mrs. Madden, what happened here? That perverted bitch is still chasing my little boy! Is that true? I can explain. Tell it to the judge. She broke her restraining order. I want her arrested. What did she do? She called Shane, in my home. Thank God I happened to pick up the extension. What's wrong with you? Everything. And you think the best person to commiserate with is your 12-year-old victim? That's not why I called him. Tell them. Tell them why you called Shane! It doesn't matter why she called him. You broke one of the conditions of your probation. Which means you're under arrest. I thought he had a right to know. Know what? I'm pregnant. And I did agonize, but I felt like he needed to know. He is the father. She's having my baby's baby. (Stabler) Let's go. I want it terminated. It's not your decision, ma'am. You have no say over her reproductive rights.
You didn't need to lay this on the little boy. What were you doin'? I don't know. My husband's leavin' me, my stepson won't even talk to me, I've lost my home, my job, and the irony is, all I've ever wanted is a baby of my own. Be careful what you wish for, huh? Wow. Do you know what Ayatollah Khomeini's first name was? What? Ruhollah. So? What'd you think it was? Ayatollah. Ayatollah's not a name. It's a title. Pffft! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you just give me a 'Pffft'? Like I'm some kind of idiot for thinking that Ayatollah could be a first name? Ok, you're not an idiot. It's just not a name, ok? Oh, really? It just so happens that I played high-school baseball with a guy named Ayatollah. Really? Yep. Ayatollah Rodriguez. That's funny. You never mentioned him before. Really?
I never mentioned Tollie? That's weird, 'cause we were pretty tight. I actually took his sister Beth to the junior prom. Doug, I'm gonna make you an offer, okay? Stop talking right now, and we can pretend this never happened. I'm not gonna pretend my best friend from high school never happened. Hello? Yes, hello. This is, uh, Ayatollah Rodriguez. Is my old high-school baseball friend, Doug, there? Oy. Explain to me what I'm looking at? Before you judge me, let me walk you through it. I settled in, I started eating, and then I realized I didn't have a place to put the bones. I didn't want to put 'em on the sheets, 'cause you made it very clear you don't like that. Long story short, I've invented the shirt plate. Doug, I left dinner for you in the refrigerator. I didn't see it. No? 'Cause I labeled it "Doug's dinner. " Oh, I thought that said "Dog's dinner. " I figured you were surprising me with a puppy. Come on. This isn't funny. You're telling me. All day long, I thought I was getting a puppy. Honey, you promised me you would stick to your diet. Aren't you at all concerned about your health? I'll tell you what I am concerned about.
My blue cheese cup am empty. Ow! Carrie! Look at this. Low-fat mayo, cottage cheese, garden burgers, all untouched. Why do I even bother buying this stuff? That's what I've been saying! Ow! You gotta find a new go-to move. Doug, it's just so frustrating. I mean over and over again, you promise me you're gonna lose weight, and then you actually do it, and then I'm so proud of you, and then every single time, without fail, you fall off the wagon. And then you eat the wagon. Calm down. I'll be fine. Doug, you're not fine, okay? Your eating is out of control. Would you back it off? Yeah, fine, fine. I will back off. Okay, 'cause I am tired of banging my head against the wall. W - You know what? Here, here. Have cookies for dinner, okay? I give up. I officially give up. You happy? What are you doing? !
You said you gave up! I'm telling you, Doug, as soon as I heard about this overeaters support group, I had a really good feeling about it. And I've got a bad feeling. It's called hunger. We just had a delicious dinner. It was salmon. Salmon's delicious. The hell it is. The only people who like salmon are bears. Okay, Doug, you really need this group, okay? And, listen, you're gonna be meeting people who are struggling with the same things you are. It's gonna be me and a roomful of big, fat losers! Now that is not true. Okay, they may be big, but they are not losers. I bet you they're really cool. Yeah, that guy they had to cut out of his apartment, he's super cool. Well, in a way, he was. I mean we're talking about him right now. And that's cool. I don't want to do this, come on. Honey, You have to go. I don't. You do. Doug... Sometimes when you look at me, I think you're seeing a giant pork chop with my head on it. With your head on it? Get over yourself. All right, go.
Is there even any dip? Okay, people, let's get started. You there. You're new. What's your name? Me? Uh, Doug. Welcome, Doug. I'm Neil. Please, join us. Is this how to hem your own pants? No, Doug. This is a group for men in abusive relationships. Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be here. I'll put these back. Except for this one,'cause I put a thumb print in it already. Doug, Yeah? We all know what you're going through. You're scared. You don't want to admit there's a problem, but you were brave enough to come here tonight. Be brave enough to stay. Really, I, uh- I don't belong here. We all felt that way at first, Doug. Yeah, it's true. So, why are you here tonight? You had doughnuts. And who doesn't let you have doughnuts, Doug? My wife.
But the thing is- Does she ever yell at you about eating doughnuts? Yeah. Does it ever get physical? Hit you, slap you, throw things at you? Yesterday she... twisted my nipples. And does all of her anger just make you want to eat more? Okay. No, it's not okay, Doug. But it's how you get by, isn't it? So you're saying... my overeating is... her fault. I think that's what you're saying, Doug. Then she comes in like hell on wheels, "You're so fat!" "Don't eat that off your chest! I can't believe you're so fat!" She wonders why I gain weight. I mean, maybe it's 'cause all the names she calls me. You know. Fatty. Chunky. Sir Eats-a-Lot. So she starts yelling at the waiter. Now... I can't look at the poor guy, and I... certainly can't look at her, so I look down at my plate. Hello, jambalaya. You won't twist my nipples, will you? Mr. Big-pants. Fat Damon.
Enormo the clown. Enormo. You know what? My name is Doug. Just Doug. It's just Doug. Hey, baby. How'd it go tonight? It was good. Have you been crying? A little. You get into some stuff in there. Oh, honey. I am so proud of you. Hey! Moron, watch where you're going! Magoo, mooooove! Friggin' idiot. I really appreciate you checking up on me, Neil, but I'm doing all right. Yeah, she's gonna be home any minute, so I can't stay on the phone much longer. Yes. No, I'll be at the meeting. All right then. I'll see you- What's that? Oh, yeah. I will not let the rage of others destroy the light in me. Okay. Hey, Doug, I'm just dropping off Arthur's bill, but I couldn't help overhearing your conversation. Are you an alcoholic?
No. Oh, me, neither. So, w - What was that all about? Oh, it's a, uh, long story, but it turns out it's Carrie's anger that makes me eat so much. No! Yeah, I was surprised, too. Wow. How about that? This whole time, she had me convinced it was my fault, but my support group helped me realize that Carrie's bad temper is the problem. She drives me straight into the loving arms of food. Maybe that's what happened with my brother and his wife. Except that she drove him straight into the loving arms of their nanny. I'm gonna kill our pharmacist! Oh, God. Come. Through the back door. We'll drive all night. Come! Hey, Car. Hey. So, I go to pick up my prescription from the pharmacy, and I'm in line for like 20 freaking minutes, because the pharmacist is a million years old. Then I finally get to the front of the line, and Rip van Senile says, "That'll be $98." And I go, "No, our insurance covers this. ", and he says, "No, it doesn't. " I just- I hate old people. Where's our insurance bill? Um, maybe it's upstairs. Why would it be upstairs? Did you put it there? No, I
