Summary[]

A mother is devastated by the revelation that her eight-year-old son has been sexually abused years after her ex-husband was sent to prison for molesting her older child, whose DNA now implicates him in his brother's case.

Plot[]

Benson informs Stabler that Lucas stopped at a coffee shop and he's got an online talking to his accomplice. Getting the conversation on her computer Benson is able to track the address.

Stabler and Tutuola find the house where Teddy's abductor runs away from them. Stabler and the abductor fight with the abductor punching him away as he tries to escape but Stabler overpowers him. In his anger, Stabler starts viciously beating up the abductor. Tutuola arrives to spot the scene and Stabler regains his senses and tells him to arrest the latter. The Detectives soon find Teddy with his mouth gag and bind before freeing him.

At the hospital, a recovering Teddy apologizes to Stabler and realizes that his subscribers see him only as a sex object, and that he actually hurt his brother, and he subsequently gives up his clients.

At the precinct, Stabler sees Cragen talk with Benson who thanks Benson for her decision. Stabler believes Benson told the captain about what Ruben did but Benson reveals that she did not rat him out and sit down at her desk. Stabler then asks what she is doing at the precinct. Benson tells him that she works there.

Quotes[]

Stabler: What are you playing?
Teddy Winnock: It's called a video game. You're not very smart, are you?
Stabler: I have my moments.

Teddy Winnock: [to Stabler about his father] Look, man. I've never gonna see that ass-wipe again. If Jake still wants to see him, that's his business.
Stabler: If your father molests him?
Teddy Winnock: That's not my problem.
Stabler: You're his big brother.
Teddy Winnock: That's right. That means I'm supposed to care, doesn't it?

Teddy Winnock: Why are you so interested in me? Those pictures turn you on?
Stabler: The ones with your little brother made me sick.
Teddy Winnock: Shut up.
Stabler: Did you screw around with someone here like you did with Jake? 'Cause the rape kit proves you abused your little brother.
Teddy Winnock: No! No, I didn't hurt Jake.
Stabler: You molested him.
Teddy Winnock: So? My dad did stuff to me. Didn't mess me up.
Stabler: Your dad screwed up your head so bad, you don't even know what you've done.

Gordy Richards: Hanging those pictures is not a crime. I know my rights. I'm in journalism.
Tutuola: You're in puberty.

Stabler: A minor shooting kiddie porn. That's a new one.

[about Teddy's website]
Cragen: If Teddy Winnock is doing this, how many other Teddys are there?
Ruben Morales: More than we know. These kids think they're businessmen when in reality, they're playing right into pedophiles' hands.
Stabler: We used to think when kids were at home, they were safe.
Cragen: The web connects pedophiles to each other. It gives them easy access.

Stabler: Your brother told me about the pretending movies.
Teddy Winnock: So?
Stabler: Those men are using you.
Teddy Winnock: They pay me. It's my choice.
Stabler: Just like it was Jake's choice to be molested by you?
Teddy Winnock: Go to hell!

Novak: There's a difference between Teddy Winnock and a grown man who exploits kids.

Cragen: Let me get this straight. Teddy ran away from home after pedophiles made plans on his website to help him.
Morales: Yes.
Cragen: A website I told you to shut down.
Morales: Captain...
Cragen: But you let these perverts keep talking in that chat room after I gave you a direct order to shut it down.
Morales: The pedophiles...
Cragen: Teddy is missing because you deliberately refused to obey my order. The feds are gonna want somebody's head. Give me one reason I shouldn't hand them yours.

Stabler: Hey, why'd you disobey Cragen's order to shut down Teddy's website?
Morales: I shut it down, the pedophiles just go somewhere else.
Stabler: So you risk your career?
Morales: I needed to get them. My sister's a single mom. She works long hours. Her son Freddy is 12, latchkey kid. Goes online to make friends. A new buddy convinces him to meet, go see a movie. Freddy goes. The guy's 43. Takes my nephew to a hotel and rapes him.
Stabler: They find the guy?
Morales: No. I gave Freddy the computer.

Tutuola: [interrogating Ralph Zessner] 4 packs of coolers and a pack of condoms. What do you plan on getting frisky with the Hamburglar?

Ralph Zessner: I'm a horrible person.
Tutuola: Yeah, I'm down with you on that thought.
Ralph Zessner: I'm trying to get better, I'm seeing a shrink.
Tutuola: Seven days a week on the couch is not gonna help a guy like you.

Ralph Zessner: If I tell you where the nest is, will you let me go?
Stabler: [yelling] Hey I'm not here to bargain with you! How about I send the transcript of your web chat to your family, your neighbors, the parents of the kids you teach, huh?

[about Claude Henderson]
Stabler: Doesn't look like he's running around abusing little boys.
Tutuola: Doesn't look like he can breathe, let alone write a check or rent a pad.

Benson: I wasn't planning on coming back.
Stabler: It's in your blood.
Benson: That's the problem.

[as Benson and Stabler stop Morales from beating up a suspect]
Benson: Hey, get out of here.
Morales: Olivia, I can explain.
Benson: I don't want to hear it. Get out.
Morales: Are you gonna turn me in?
Benson: If I don't, he will.

Benson: Who's Goodfriend22? Huh? Who's Goodfriend22?
Guy Lucas: You gonna beat me if I won't talk?

Teddy Winnock: You were right.
Stabler: About what?
Teddy Winnock: You said they were using me. I thought those guys were my friends. I thought they loved me. They were my life. Now I'm alone.
Stabler: You have your family. They're the ones who really love you.
Teddy Winnock: They'll never forgive me.
Stabler: They know what happened isn't all your fault.
Teddy Winnock: I'm not sure I believe you.
Stabler: Well, not yet, but you will.

Stabler: What the hell are you doing here?
Donna Geysen: Your conversational skills are what I like most about you.

Stabler: What're you doing here?
Benson: I work here. [sits back at her desk with a smile]

Background information and notes[]

  • Olivia returns to the squad at the end of this episode. She had requested a new partner in the episode "Fault" and was transferred to computer crimes in the previous episode "Fat".
  • Detective Stabler tells Dr. Lucas that if he cooperates in the search for Teddy he won't spend the rest of his life in prison for kidnapping. New York has one of the toughest punishments for kidnapping, in most states kidnapping in the second degree carries a maximum sentence of roughly 10 years and kidnapping in the first degree carries a maximum sentence of 20 years. However in New York kidnapping in second degree is a class B felony and carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 25 years; kidnapping in the first degree is a class A-I felony (the same category as murder) and carries a minimum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years, and a maximum sentence of 25 to life.
  • When asked how many other men are on Teddy's web sight, the computer expert scrolls through a list and says "over a thousand." Very clearly on the top of the page it shows 3139 active accounts.
