FunTranscript
00:00In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous.
00:10In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are
00:15members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit.
00:18These are their stories.
00:26There she is, Chelsea Summers, my favorite reporter.
00:28Mario, my guardian angel.
00:32There's a honk waiting for you at your table. Is this some kind of interview?
00:35Actually, it is a date.
00:37A date. Well, I'm glad to see that you're finally getting yourself back out there.
00:42Here you are.
00:46You must be Tyler.
00:47Nice to meet you, Kelsey.
00:49Your waiter will be with you shortly.
00:51Would you like to have a seat?
00:52Everything all right?
00:59Yeah.
01:00This is my first date in a while.
01:03Well, you know, you are even more gorgeous in person than you are on TV.
01:07Honestly.
01:10Sun-ser?
01:11Your drink, right?
01:12You actually read my profile?
01:14May I pour you a glass?
01:15That would be nice.
01:35I take it that your date went well?
01:37Said that on Vance.
01:38You're wearing the same dress from yesterday.
01:41I'll get something from wardrobe.
01:43So, what was it like?
01:45Being on the market a year after your engagement imploded?
01:49He was a gentleman.
01:50The exact opposite of James.
01:52I'm sorry, who?
01:54Oh.
01:55No way.
01:56I'm on Team Kelsey, even if you didn't make me swear to never utter his name again.
02:01Oh, wow.
02:02What?
02:02Is this normal for online dating?
02:09Honey, that is not normal for anywhere but porn.
02:12What are you even doing here?
02:14I would have called out sick.
02:16It's kind of nice.
02:18Uh, yeah.
02:19No, not that.
02:23I've been waiting a really long time.
02:26Can I have one more peek?
02:27No, he's mine.
02:28Oh, come on.
02:29Come on.
02:32Mmm.
02:57Mmm.
02:58Mmm.
02:59Mmm.
02:59Mmm.
03:00Mmm.
03:01Mmm.
03:01Kels, you in here?
03:10Yeah, what's up?
03:11There's been a train derailment.
03:14Subway?
03:14L-I-R-R going into Jamaica, Queens.
03:16Dozens of injuries.
03:18I'll meet you in the van.
03:23Crews have been working tirelessly to clear the damage as authorities attempt to determine
03:27what caused this accident.
03:29From Jamaica, I'm Kelsey Summers.
03:31For one NYC.
03:40Kelsey, you're on TV.
03:42I can rewind.
03:43Watch with me.
03:44Mom, have you gotten a text from anyone?
03:45What text?
03:46Where is your phone?
03:47Honey, what's going on?
03:50Have you eaten anything?
03:59I need some air.
04:00Kelsey.
04:03Tyler, why are you doing this to me?
04:05Please text me back.
04:07Please.
04:12Oh my God.
04:13Kelsey?
04:26Kelsey?
04:27Kelsey?
04:27Kelsey?
04:27Kelsey?
04:27What are you doing?
04:30Please get down from there.
04:40You're scaring me.
04:41I swore I'd never let anyone control me again.
04:49He has more of them.
04:51He says he's going to send them to everyone I know.
04:53I'll do it.
04:54I'll be and I'll be and I'll be and I'll be and I'll fall for new things.
05:40We get an idea on the jumper?
05:54It's Kelsey Summers.
05:56The reporter?
05:57Yes, she says she's being sextorted.
05:59Her mother's the one that called it in.
06:00Says she went on a date with some clown and now he's threatening her.
06:03What does he have on her?
06:04The way the mother tells it, graphic nude photos.
06:07He says he's going to send them to everyone she knows unless she pays up.
06:10Okay, all right guys, I'm going out.
06:18Kelsey, all we want to do is help.
06:22Leave me alone.
06:26Kelsey.
06:26Kelsey, I'm Captain Benson from SVU.
06:34Sex crimes.
06:37Who called you?
06:38So, what is this I'm hearing about you being extorted?
06:42I got it from here, Chief.
06:44Captain.
06:45I got it.
06:46Let's go, guys.
06:47How much do you know?
06:54Only that you were betrayed by somebody that you thought you could trust.
07:01Hold on, Kelsey.
07:01No, no, no, no.
07:03Listen to me.
07:04Kelsey.
07:05Look at me.
07:05Let me help you.
07:06Let me help you.
07:12Come on.
07:12Come here.
07:17I got you.
07:20I got you.
07:22I got you.
07:30I can't believe I was actually going to go through with that.
07:34I'm never going to do anything like this again.
07:36I promise.
07:37We're so glad to hear that.
07:38But, Kelsey, we still have a few questions, okay?
07:43Okay.
07:44You said you met this guy online?
07:47Tyler Camden.
07:48He was so charming.
07:50Looked exactly like his profile pic.
07:52I'm new to this, so maybe that's why my guard was down.
07:56And where did you go on this date?
07:58Harry's.
07:59I'm a regular there.
08:00And who paid?
08:01Tyler did.
08:02In cash.
08:03You left a good tip.
08:05And after that?
08:06I wouldn't normally do this, but I got us a hotel room.
08:11No one's judging.
08:12He let me go at my own pace.
08:14He didn't force anything.
08:16We slept in.
08:17We had room service.
08:18We had sex one last time before work.
08:21And then he sent me a naked picture.
08:24And I'm assuming he asked for one back.
08:26And next thing I know, I'm taking a photo of my skirt in the bathroom at work.
08:29Okay.
08:29So what is he demanding from you?
08:33$50,000 in cash.
08:35Marie sends the pics to all my contacts.
08:38Did this Tyler guy give you a deadline?
08:40No.
08:40No, not yet.
08:41It was like, he's toying with me.
08:45God, I'm worried this story's gonna get out anyway.
08:47I mean, me and the psych ward.
08:48And you're used to reporting a story, not being a story.
08:54Nobody is gonna hear anything from us, Kelsey.
08:57That we can assure you.
08:59I'm assuming that you always wanted to be a reporter?
09:02Yeah.
09:04Yes, since I was little.
09:05So hold your head high, do your job, and you don't let anyone derail you.
09:14Especially this guy.
09:15Hey.
09:22How's the victim?
09:23You know, as well as can be expected.
09:25There's no press leaks so far.
09:27Has he been contacted again by the perp?
09:28Not yet.
09:30So he has an Instagram account and a dating app profile.
09:35And we still can't find this guy?
09:36He's nowhere in the system.
09:37Big tech is stonewalling us, so we could use a court order.
09:40Yeah, it's not a problem.
09:41Anything else in the meantime?
09:42She met him at Harry's.
09:44He paid the bill in cash, then they went to the hotel.
09:46So I'm hoping that we get lucky with DNA or prints.
09:49I don't get it.
09:50This guy's a male model type.
09:51Usually these scammers, they spend their time in their mother's basement
09:55licking the Cheeto dust off their fingers.
09:57Well, he certainly doesn't fit that profile.
09:58Captain.
10:01Kelsey, what's going on?
10:02He recorded us having sex.
10:10I'm hungry.
10:12Can I have some breakfast?
10:16Got a better idea.
10:17Oh.
10:20So has he made any more demands on you?
10:22That I have 48 hours to pay her.
10:24This goes right to 1NYC.
10:25Okay, we're going to find him before that.
10:27I never should have let my car down.
10:28Kelsey, Kelsey, this is not on you.
10:30Really?
10:31Because I must have a type.
10:32When I left my ex, he took everything.
10:34The apartment, the dog.
10:35He emptied my bank account.
10:36My job was the one thing I had left that was purely mine.
10:40I built it.
10:41I was the face people could trust.
10:42Who's going to trust my judgment now?
10:47How's Kelsey?
11:00How's Kelsey?
11:03Hanging in there for now.
11:0548 hours isn't a lot of time.
11:07Where are we with Taro?
11:08Did a number trace, but no luck.
11:10Looks like the guy is using some kind of a second number app.
11:13Okay, what about Prince's DNA at the hotel?
11:15There was no matches in the system.
11:16So you're telling me that our only point of connection with this guy is a bogus number
11:21that he's been using to text Kelsey?
11:23Pretty much, yeah.
11:24I called a buddy of mine who works in the Bronx.
11:26He says they've been having a rash of these sextortion cases lately.
11:29All young, upwardly mobile female Vicks.
11:32Any chance that this is our guy?
11:34They sent in the pictures, but it was a different guy.
11:36One of the Vicks killed herself.
11:39I managed to reach out to another victim, Ruby Konzo.
11:43She's only 19.
11:46I'll talk to her.
11:51Ruby, does this man look familiar to you at all?
11:58No, this isn't the guy who extorted me.
12:02You still think my case is connected to the one you're working on now?
12:05Well, that's what we're trying to figure out.
12:08Well, the guy who extorted me, I met him on an online bereavement forum.
12:13Bereavement?
12:15My parents were killed in a car accident a few years back.
12:20A commercial truck blindsided them.
12:23Ruby, I'm so sorry.
12:26I was depressed, lonely.
12:31This guy said his name was Nick.
12:33Told me his girlfriend just died of cancer.
12:35Oh, so you started communicating on the forum?
12:39Yeah.
12:40And after a few weeks, I felt comfortable enough to FaceTime him.
12:45And may I ask you when it turned sexual?
12:48After a few weeks of going out, I asked him over to watch a movie.
13:02We sat right here on this couch and he brought a bottle of wine.
13:08And we had sex in my bedroom.
13:12And he secretly filmed it.
13:16The next day he sent me the video.
13:23He demanded $50,000 or he'd send it to everyone I knew.
13:28All the friends I made on our bereavement forum, relatives, my little sister.
13:36I'm supposed to set an example for her.
13:39Ruby, listen to me.
13:43You didn't do anything wrong.
13:48You're the victim of a crime.
13:52You didn't do anything wrong.
13:54I went to Bronx ESVU, but it didn't seem like they could help me.
14:02Not before time ran out.
14:03So you paid it.
14:05I understand.
14:07But how did you manage to come up with all that money?
14:14The settlement.
14:16From my parents' death.
14:19And you told Nick about that online.
14:24On the forum.
14:27It was so stupid.
14:30I'm home.
14:33Hi.
14:34I'm Olivia.
14:35I got you Shake Shack Josie.
14:37It's on the counter.
14:45I don't think I'll be able to trust anyone ever again.
14:51Let's see if we can try to change that.
14:54Hey, any luck tracking down the phone number Ruby's perp was FaceTiming her from?
15:03Tarou did a track and trace, but the number's dead.
15:05And we checked the bereavement for him, but the guy ghosted.
15:08And since Ruby deleted her photos of this guy, there's no way to run facial recognition.
15:13Unless Tarou can find those pictures, it's like he never existed.
15:16That's because he never did.
15:17Guys, is there any connection between this ghost and Tyler?
15:24Not that we can find them.
15:25What's our next move here, Captain?
15:29Well, I was hoping that it wouldn't come to this, but I think we have to have Kelsey get in contact with Tyler.
15:38Tyler, it's me.
15:39I have the cash.
15:41Where do you want me to drop it off?
15:43Please call me back.
15:45Straight to voicemail.
15:46Automated outgoing message.
15:47If he wants that money, he's going to get back to you.
15:49Oh, we got him on the hook.
15:52There we go.
16:07Where?
16:07Where?
16:19Okay, step one, stand by.
16:38Copy that, Captain.
16:39Captain.
16:49Someone's headed our way.
16:55That's not our guy.
16:57Then we got a problem.
16:58He's taking the cash.
16:59Must be a two-man operation.
17:01Let's move!
17:09NYPD, Hansel, we can see him.
17:11Who the hell are you?
17:12We're Tyler!
17:12Hey, hey, hey, hey, who's Tyler?
17:14We'll sort that out down at the station.
17:15What, station?
17:16Am I under arrest?
17:17Good guess.
17:18Hey, I asked you a question!
17:21Kelsey, not now.
17:22But I need an answer.
17:23I understand that, right?
17:24But you need to let us do our job.
17:26Come on.
17:27Okay?
17:27Come on.
17:30Captain.
17:31All right, thank you.
17:37So, Ruby.
17:39I've never seen this guy before.
17:41Is he the one behind the scam?
17:43Well, um, we're trying to sort that out.
17:46What?
17:48We set up a sting.
17:50And this is the guy who picked up the money.
17:54From the trunk of the car?
17:56That's the same way I dropped off my cash.
17:59Yes, and that's why I need you to tell me exactly how this went down.
18:05Nick, or who I thought was Nick, texted me to leave the cash in the trunk of a rental car.
18:12And how did you know it was the right car?
18:14He texted me the license plate number.
18:16I heard a chirp.
18:18The trunk opened.
18:19I left the cash and got out of there.
18:21This is the exact same MO as the case that we're working on.
18:24So, they are connected?
18:30It's starting to look like it.
18:33Can you get the money back?
18:34I was going to use it for my college and the rest is for Josie's.
18:37So, I can't make any promises right now.
18:40But I want you to know that we are doing everything we can to catch whoever is behind us.
18:47As the deadline nears, the UFT president says teachers are ready to come back to the bargaining table.
18:52Excuse me, we'll not be ready.
18:54I'm Kelsey Summers for OneNYC.
18:56You see that our sex daughter already lowered up.
18:59So, who is this guy?
18:59His name is Neil Marsh and he's an unemployed copywriter.
19:03So, in other words, not Tyler.
19:05Oh, they're working together.
19:06So, Tyler was the bait and this guy's what?
19:08The bookkeeper?
19:09Fifty grand, huh?
19:10Not bad for a day's work.
19:12Finn and Bruno will take a statement and Velasco and Silva are searching his apartment.
19:16More importantly, how's Kelsey doing?
19:17You know, she's just trying to maintain her on-air personality from the looks of it.
19:22But, you know, feeling robbed of her sense of control.
19:25I can't say that I blame her.
19:26But, for the time being, at least the sex tape hasn't been released.
19:30The clock's still ticking.
19:31And we have at least one known accomplice.
19:33I don't see an unemployed copywriter willing to do a hard-time deal.
19:38A woman like Kelsey would never go to a hotel with a guy like me.
19:42So, what's your role in this?
19:44Just a mouthpiece.
19:45And bag man, evidently.
19:47I was forced into it.
19:48As I was trying to tell you, my client's the victim of sextortion as well.
19:54We're listening.
19:55Go ahead, Neil.
20:03Six months ago, a woman reached out to me on Instagram.
20:06She was hot.
20:07I'm talking about a New York tent.
20:09At first, I thought she was just a bot.
20:11But she seemed legit.
20:13Especially when she agreed to meet me in person.
20:15She was everything I've been looking for.
20:17I, I, sweet.
20:19Midwestern.
20:20A good conversationalist.
20:21You two have sex?
20:23No.
20:23Never got that far.
20:25Let me guess.
20:26She sent you nudes.
20:29And asked for some of me.
20:32Tell them what happened when you sent the pictures.
20:35My mom was sent one first.
20:38Then what?
20:39I was told all my LinkedIn contacts would get one unless I paid 50 grand.
20:44I knew I'd never work again.
20:46Problem was, I didn't have the cash.
20:47So, in exchange, you had to work it off?
20:50Scouring Instagram and dating apps for anyone with a blue checkmark.
20:54Anyone with clout or a good career.
20:57I'd hit them up, get them out.
20:59So, if Tyler was the eye candy and you were just some kind of sick Cyrano de Bergerac,
21:04who's getting all the money?
21:07His name's Constantine.
21:08He lives out in Queens.
21:09That's all I know.
21:11Do we believe this guy?
21:13I mean, the story checks out.
21:15Taro took his laptop and iPad, no photos or videos of Kelsey on them, but...
21:19And he is unemployed.
21:21You worked at a prestigious ad agency until AI came along.
21:24Another occupation on life support.
21:26Well, it explains why this guy out in Queens let Neil put his own sextortion case on layaway.
21:30But why go after him in the first place?
21:32Kelsey is a professional woman.
21:34She's on an upward trajectory.
21:36She's pulling in six figures.
21:38She just won the press club award.
21:40Yeah, but Neil's a schlub with no job.
21:42Well, his Instagram account says otherwise.
21:44Let's see.
21:47Exotic travel, sports cars, yachts, probably rented.
21:51So, this guy's entire digital life is a mirage.
21:54Oh, you should see his apartment.
21:56500 square foot studio in Hoboken.
21:58Okay, so what are we doing, though?
21:59I could charge him with grand larceny and coercion, but if he really is a victim...
22:03He's not the only one we should be going after.
22:05I mean, Constantine is where the money goes.
22:08So, he has to be in control of all the photos.
22:10Which means he's the one that we should be charging.
22:12So, what's the play here?
22:14Flip Neil and get to the head of the operation?
22:19I have another idea.
22:23Seems like you're having a bad day, Neil.
22:25Who's this guy?
22:26I'm just a lowly public servant on a mission of mercy.
22:29Weren't you listening, counselor?
22:31My client's a victim himself.
22:33No, I heard.
22:34I heard, but we don't have anybody else in custody at present.
22:36Well, what we do have is your client on the record admitting to extortion.
22:41And we caught him red-handed picking up the ransom.
22:43So, just off the top of my head, coercion, grand larceny?
22:47You see, Neil, you went from victim to accomplice the second you extorted Kelsey.
22:51You'll never get those charges to stick.
22:54My client's not in possession of the photos or sex video.
22:56Well, I'm willing to talk about a deal.
22:59As long as it gets us to whoever does have possession.
23:06What do you want me to do?
23:08You must have a way of getting in touch with Constantine.
23:11You communicate by Snapchat.
23:12Okay, well, get you your phone back so you can contact him.
23:14Tell him what.
23:15He's going to ask about Kelsey's 50 grand.
23:17Just tell him he's still working on it.
23:20But in the meantime, you snared a young, rich venture capitalist from Mexico City.
23:25Mexico City?
23:26Yeah.
23:26And he's married.
23:27He's in New York for a few days.
23:29He's looking to get laid.
23:39He'll cooperate.
23:40But, with one caveat.
23:44I want my nude photos back, too.
23:46Not just the one he sent to my mom.
23:52So, Neil did not have my photos?
23:54No, he didn't.
23:55But, he did put us on track of who does.
23:59Then what was his involvement?
24:00So, Neil is a victim of sextortion, same as you.
24:07Only he didn't have the money to pay up.
24:10So, whoever is behind this made him work it off?
24:12And what about Tyler?
24:17The local PD just picked him up.
24:19As of now, it seems that he was hired to seduce you and record you having sex.
24:26Was I raped?
24:29I certainly understand how you would feel that way.
24:32And you were definitely victimized.
24:36Tyler will do time.
24:37And what about the video?
24:40I mean, there's less than a day left on the clock.
24:43We are working on a way to get whoever's behind this before the time runs out.
24:48What if you don't?
24:51Kelsey, we're putting every effort into this.
24:53Unfortunately, I can't make any promises.
24:57But, I'll find him.
25:05Okay.
25:06You are all set.
25:11Test it out.
25:13One, two, uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis.
25:15You're good, you're good.
25:16Oh, that's your date?
25:22Yeah, Audra.
25:23Neil just sent it.
25:25Tough night at work, detective.
25:27She's hot.
25:27Okay, you're funny.
25:31Except, you don't really look like a venture capitalist.
25:36NYPD couldn't afford our money, right?
25:40What?
25:41You think I looked the part?
25:42How the hell would I know?
25:43I've never dated a money guy.
25:44Women like Audra notice watches.
25:49How much you pay for this?
25:51Hell of a lot more than the NYPD paid for that suit.
26:02Audra.
26:03Hi.
26:04You must be Juan Pablo.
26:06Nice to meet you.
26:11I like the place you picked.
26:12You know, I spent a lot of time in Tokyo and London, but never in New York.
26:18Well, we need to change that.
26:22How about a drink?
26:24I see they got my tequila here.
26:28Your tequila?
26:29Yeah, my family were early investors.
26:31Hmm.
26:32Let's get a bottle.
26:33It's pretty slick.
26:46Alaska started out in undercover work.
26:48Yeah, I know.
26:50I checked him out before I transferred from Brooklyn Homicide.
26:53Did you check me out, too?
26:56So you know about my lawsuit?
26:57I can sign YPD?
26:58Yeah.
27:00My dad's, uh, not exactly a fan of yours.
27:08Ready for another one?
27:10How about we bring this bottle back to the room?
27:14Um, what room?
27:17The one you're going to get us right now?
27:22Believe me, I want to, but I, uh, I already got a suite uptown.
27:27Great.
27:27I'll get us a ride.
27:32You're making this really hard.
27:34But I do have a meeting with my board in the morning.
27:38I respect that.
27:40I'll tell you what.
27:41I'm here for three more days, and I would love to see you again.
27:46You too.
27:47How about we exchange numbers?
27:50Give me your phone, I'll text you.
28:06Hey.
28:06They're coming out.
28:07Yeah, let's do it again.
28:13This was really fun.
28:14All right.
28:23Nice work.
28:25Give me the watch back.
28:31You stay on her?
28:32Mm-hmm.
28:34Is that our guy?
28:35I can smell the air freshener from here.
28:42There's your payment for getting Juan Pablo on the hook.
28:45Okay, light him up.
28:51Yo!
28:53Yo, move!
28:54Yo, get out of the way!
28:57NYPD.
28:58Get out of the car.
29:00Now!
29:02Come on.
29:03Got nothing on me, bro.
29:04How about solicitation, for starters?
29:07Is that some kind of a joke?
29:09You know many cops with a sense of humor?
29:12Well, I want my lawyer, bro.
29:14You can tell him to meet you at the 16th Precinct.
29:16I don't know.
29:17I don't know.
29:17I heard.
29:18I think it's...
29:19I don't know.
29:21I heard.
29:22I think it's...
29:24So, what do we know about him?
29:26Konstantin Kuchus, 38.
29:27Used to own a cell phone store in Astoria.
29:29Used to?
29:30Closed from a fire.
29:32May of 23.
29:33How much you want to bet it was an insurance job?
29:35Well, based on looks alone, I wouldn't bet against it.
29:37And what's his criminal record?
29:39Couple of citations as a juvie, a few misties.
29:42He's a small-timer.
29:43With his own extortion ring.
29:45Guess we all have our dreams.
29:48I gotta tell you, Konstantin, you're looking awfully relaxed for a guy facing serious time for extortion.
29:53Not to mention blackmail.
29:54Yeah, unlawful surveillance.
29:56They have a word for something like that, don't they?
29:57What am I thinking of?
29:59Scumbag.
30:00That's the one.
30:01Scumbag.
30:02Nice try.
30:03You can attempt to rattle my client all you want with this bad cop-slick lawyer routine.
30:08But the simple fact is, you've got nothing substantial on him.
30:12We got his address.
30:13And the cops are on the way right now.
30:14With a warrant for all his devices.
30:16And if we find anything, he's looking at ten years per count.
30:19Look, fellas.
30:21My house is my sanctuary, alright?
30:23I'm married.
30:24I would never bring a woman like Audrey to my home.
30:27So that's why you met her at your car?
30:30All I did was give a woman in need a little bit of cash.
30:34Yeah?
30:36That's not the story she's telling.
30:37Look, I'm not trying to cause you any trouble.
30:43Really?
30:44Doesn't feel that way?
30:45So I can just go home?
30:47Go to sleep?
30:48Yeah.
30:48As soon as you tell us how the scam works from your end.
30:51Who's us?
30:51You?
30:57You're a cop?
30:58It's nice to see you again, Audra.
31:01I thought you were a married guy from Mexico.
31:04You lied to me.
31:05Yeah, well, that's not a guess of all.
31:07You only ever have...
31:08I don't talk to cops.
31:09Oh, and I get that.
31:10But the sooner you do, the sooner you can get out of here.
31:16I get paid to go on dates, get the guy's number so they can start texting him.
31:22Is that all?
31:23That's all.
31:24And you don't do any of the communicating?
31:26It's a compartmentalized organization.
31:29Hmm.
31:29Yeah, you're really good at your job.
31:31I'll give you that.
31:33Look, the real goal is just to get their number.
31:35Then some other guy texts them and gets them to send.
31:38They're compromising pictures of themselves.
31:40So every time Constantine wants to hire you, does he text?
31:43Usually, but we go way back.
31:45Sometimes I'll meet him at Basil's house.
31:48Basil?
31:54You're in a lot of trouble here, Audra.
31:57Extortion, for starters.
32:00Unless you got an address to that house.
32:08I'll take this to the captain.
32:24That address checked out?
32:25Yeah, McMansion in Queens.
32:27Own on record as Basil Kutris.
32:29Maybe they're brothers.
32:30We didn't find anything at Constantine's house.
32:33So hopefully, Kelsey's photos are on a thumb drive at the brother's place.
32:35I'm going to get Carisi started on a warrant.
32:38Go to this McMansion, pick up the brother before he has a chance to make good on his threat.
32:42Nice place if you got no taste.
32:50There's a lot of money in other people's shame.
32:56Yes?
32:57We're looking for Basil Kutris.
32:59He's not here.
33:00It doesn't matter.
33:01We got a warrant.
33:01You know where Basil went?
33:05He just left for the airport.
33:07Was this a planned trip?
33:08How would I know?
33:09I'm his housekeeper.
33:11I think somebody took the most.
33:12Did he drive himself?
33:13Took a quick ride.
33:14Okay, get squad cars out to JFK, Newark, and LaGuardia airports.
33:18Notify Homeland Security and Port Authority.
33:21I'll call dispatch.
33:22Maybe we can exigent the quick ride info.
33:26Captain.
33:27Kelsey's here.
33:28What's up?
33:28One of my sources told me you got him.
33:30Did you?
33:31Not yet, but we're very close.
33:33We got half the force on it.
33:35What about my video?
33:37We have warrants for his phones, for his computers.
33:39They're searching that house right now.
33:41You got Basil?
33:42The unit's pulled him over heading towards the JFK departure ramp.
33:46That son of a bitch tried to run.
33:47Anything on him?
33:48No weapons.
33:49No boarding pass either.
33:50Yeah, he didn't have time to book a flight.
33:52What about his luggage?
33:53All we found was 85 grand in cash strapped to this person.
33:58How's he going, Basil?
33:59Where are you going in such a hurry?
34:00Visit my family in Greece.
34:02Well, I hope you bought travel insurance, because you're not making any flights today.
34:08Thanks, friend.
34:10We got him.
34:12Now get started on the indictments for both the Kutcher's brothers.
34:15Yeah.
34:16If this does go to trial, you still may have to testify.
34:20But nobody will ever see that video.
34:21No.
34:23That is all that matters.
34:24Yes.
34:24Chelsea, what's wrong?
34:34He sent it.
34:35What?
34:36Lissette, how bad is it?
34:43Who got it?
34:44Um.
34:49Ashley, you gotta send it.
34:51Everyone.
34:53It arrived in our inboxes at the same time.
34:55It must have been a scheduled send.
34:57The head of the network's on the floor.
34:59You should probably get back over here ASAP.
35:01I'm so sorry, Kelsey.
35:09It's over.
35:10I am so sorry.
35:14But you never should have talked me off that roof.
35:17Kelsey, don't say that.
35:18Don't say that.
35:19God, what am I gonna do?
35:21Listen to me.
35:22Listen to me.
35:24We're gonna figure something out.
35:25Like what?
35:26It's done.
35:28I'm done.
35:33I might know how to turn this around.
35:34Sorry to interrupt, counselor,
35:40but there's somebody Mr. Kutris might want to see.
35:45Basil.
35:46Vasily.
35:47Hey, Vasily.
35:48Vasily.
35:49What's he doing here?
35:50He tried to run out on you.
35:52Oh, he didn't tell you?
35:53He took off with 85 grand headed to the motherland.
35:56What are you talking about?
35:56That kind of money lasts an awful long time in Greece.
35:59It sounded like he was planning on staying a while.
36:02So maybe you want to have a conversation?
36:04Or should we talk to your brother first?
36:10That's right.
36:13My brother would never betray me.
36:15Hate to break it to you, Constantine, but he already did.
36:17And aside from the cash,
36:19he cleared out your crypto accounts.
36:23Do you mind like that son of a bitch?
36:26Don't listen to them, Constantine.
36:27They're lying.
36:28Doesn't sound like counsel's looking out for your best interest here.
36:30Excuse me?
36:31What are you talking about?
36:32Who called her for you?
36:33Better yet, who's paying for her?
36:37Let me guess.
36:38Your brother?
36:39All right, this interview is over.
36:40I don't think she's representing you.
36:42But we want to help you, Constantine.
36:45You still have an opportunity to make a deal for yourself.
36:48Why go down for the whole scam when you're just doing your brother's dirty work?
36:51I said that's enough.
36:52This is highly unprofessional.
36:53Hey, hey, hey.
36:54Why don't you just go take a walk, huh?
36:56But Constantine, they'll do...
36:58Get out!
37:02I said get out.
37:07All right.
37:10You want to talk?
37:11I'm ready to listen.
37:16I'm ready to listen.
37:20Basil Kutris, you are charged with three counts unlawful surveillance in the second, seven counts coercion in the first, seven counts grand larceny in the second.
37:30How do you plead?
37:31Not guilty.
37:33People on bail?
37:34We request remand, Your Honor.
37:36The defendant was apprehended attempting to flee the country.
37:38He's got the means and the motivation to do so again.
37:41My client had no prior knowledge of a warrant for his arrest.
37:44He was on his way to the airport for a pre-planned trip.
37:46The timing was pure coincidence.
37:47Save it, Counselor.
37:49The people's request is granted.
37:51Next case.
37:52Next case.
37:53Doctorate number five, nine, seven.
37:58That judge sure doesn't waste any time.
38:00So Ronnie, this is that mall.
38:02Treats every case like a hemorrhoid.
38:04Uh, detectives?
38:06Neil?
38:07I know we didn't get off on the right foot, but I wanted to say thank you.
38:12Those photos of me, never saw the lead day.
38:14Well, not everyone was so lucky.
38:17I know.
38:17I guess I played a part in that, didn't I?
38:20I guess you did the right thing when it counted.
38:22Silver lining is I got wrongfully terminated from my old job.
38:27You did?
38:28Yeah.
38:28I realized after Kelsey interviewed me.
38:32Did Kelsey Summers interview you?
38:34Yeah.
38:34She told me I was a part of a, uh, protected class.
38:37Victim of a crime.
38:38So my last employer couldn't technically fire me.
38:41Yeah.
38:41So, I'm suing now.
38:45Congratulations.
38:46What's Kelsey doing interviewing other victims, isn't it?
38:51Yeah, she wasn't fired either?
38:53It starts innocently enough.
38:55A match on a dating app.
38:57A DM on Instagram.
38:59And you may think you're too worldly to become ensnared.
39:02But if you have a heart, it can be used against you by criminals.
39:06We're experts in manipulating our need for human connection.
39:09Is this reporter when undercover to witness firsthand?
39:13Undercover, huh?
39:14That's your idea?
39:16I may have had something to do with it, but it was Kelsey's idea to tell her bosses that she was working on a story.
39:22And she is playing it beautifully.
39:25Big brother taking a plea?
39:27Oh, even his lawyer is not reckless enough to let this go to trial.
39:31Not with the evidence Carisi has.
39:32Yeah.
39:33Well, this isn't doing him any favors.
39:35From outside the Manhattan courthouse, I'm Kelsey Summers for OneNYC.
39:42So you really caught these guys?
39:44Well, it turns out that they've been extorting hundreds of people.
39:49You know, teenagers, single people, older people, anyone vulnerable, anybody with enough money to pay them.
39:59You're sure these are the guys behind my case?
40:02So Taro is still going through the electronics, but we did find the video that was used to extort you.
40:09And we seized a significant amount of assets.
40:17So I get my money back?
40:19Well, that's going to take a little bit of time, because everything that we recovered has to be processed as evidence.
40:26But eventually...
40:29Yes.
40:31And NYPD is going to write you a check.
40:33Look, I've been in limbo for a year.
40:42Not able to make a decision about my future or what that even looks like.
40:49Ruby, when you get your money back, I think you're going to be surprised at all the options you have.
40:57Well, after what happened, it's hard to believe that.
41:04Don't trust me.
41:06Trust yourself.
41:11Come here.
41:12We're going to find you.
