Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999–…): Season 16, Episode 6 - Glasgowman's Wrath - full transcript

Best friends Perry Gilbert and Mia Harris sneak into the woods with Mia's young sister Zoe in tow. Their search for the mythical Glasgowman leads to a series of violent events, leaving Zoe gravely injured and the other girls missing. While Detectives Rollins and Carisi work to locate the suspect, Sgt. Benson digs through the stories to distinguish fantasy from reality.

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.

(GIRLS YELLING)

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

Mia, it's not funny!

Perry, turn off the camera!

Zoe, you should see your face!



Classic. (LAUGHS)

Stop it!

Clock's ticking. It's the night after
Halloween, and midnight approaches.

Our mission is
about to commence.

PERRY: Come on, come on,
hurry! Come on! Coming! Coming.

Guys, I don't think
we should do this.

Oh, my God. Come on. Come on.

We're gonna get in trouble. Mia,
tell your sister not to be so scared.

You said I could
have the camera.

I'll give it to you in a minute.
Go! Get across the street, go!

We're at the entrance
to Inwood Hill Park.

Some people refuse
to believe he exists.

Some are afraid to say his name.

But there's no turning back now.



By dawn, we will
find Glasgowman,

and our journey will begin.

Let's just go. You
may not believe now,

but he wouldn't call
you if you weren't ready.

Come on, let's go.

Mia, stay close.

Are we close? I'm cold.

MIA: Stop asking. Just keep
going. We're almost there.

(WHISPERING) He
likes the little ones.

(BIRD TWEETING)

MIA: Oh, my God. What was that?

I think he's out there.
(BIRD SCREECHING)

Get down. Kill the light!

Mia, I'm scared.
I wanna go back.

Oh, my God. I think it's
him. Point your flashlight!

(ANIMAL SQUEALING)
Run! Go, go, go, go!

ZOE: What is it? Who is it?

MIA: It's him! Don't
look! Just keep going!

PERRY: Run! Go faster! It's him! He's
chasing us! ZOE: I can't see! I can't see!

(ZOE SCREAMS)

PERRY: It's him! He's
really here! ZOE: Help! Help!

PERRY: Somebody!
Anybody! Help us!

He's got Zoe! MIA: Zoe!

(THEME SONG PLAYING)

A birdwatcher found
her? How young's the girl?

No ID on her. Maybe 10.

Head trauma, stabbed
multiple times, clothes torn.

Alone in the park at dawn?
Match any AMBER alerts?

Nothing so far. You'd think the
parents would notice her missing.

Yeah, unless her parents
are the ones who left her here.

That's a cheerful thought. I'm
gonna ride along, see if she comes to.

I'll talk to bird
lady. Right here.

Any homeless around
here, or... What do you think?

Go round 'em up.

Hi.

Thank you.

Can you... Can you tell
me what you saw, ma'am?

I was watching a purple finch, first
one of the season, on that branch there.

Okay. And that's when you saw
the girl? That's when I spotted him.

Him? The finch flew away
when he came out of the woods.

Okay. Can you, can you tell me
about him? No... Not the bird, the man.

Yes, of course. He
was huge, hulking,

hunched over the girl's
body like a turkey vulture.

I yelled for him to shoo and
he took off into the woods.

Do you think you could give
his description to a sketch artist?

I can do better than that.

I took photographs.
They're digital.

All right, so our suspect's Bigfoot,
and our Jane Doe's still a Jane Doe?

Yeah, Carisi reported her description,
local precincts are distributing it now.

Uh, how was California?

Uh, it's confusing. Zara's
thriving, though. She loves it there.

Really? Yeah.

Uh. Doctor, how is she?

Lucky to be alive. Aside
from the head trauma,

one of her stab wounds was
millimeters from her femoral artery.

What about sexual assault?

No visible signs. But we have to
wait for consent to do a rape kit.

And when can we talk to her?

She's out of surgery, but she
lost a lot of blood. I'll let you know.

(SIGHS) Okay. Do
we call in Liv on this?

Ah. It's Sunday, it's her
one day off with the baby.

Uh, I'd prefer to... Yeah, okay.

Detectives! Detectives. Yes.

Our daughter, Zoe, um,
you found her? Is this her?

Uh, it, it could be,
yes. Oh, thank God.

Is Mia with her? Who's Mia?

Her big sister.
Is she here, too?

Uh... Um...

Oh, God. Okay, we
need to see Zoe now.

Okay, as soon as she's able,
we'll get you in there, okay?

What happened to her? She
got hurt in the park last night...

Whoa. What do you mean, "hurt"?

What, what park? But
she's going to be all right.

Joan! Joan, let them
ask the questions.

Do you know how your daughter
could have ended up in the park alone?

No, I have no idea. They were,
they both went to a sleepover

at their friend's house,
Perry Gilbert. Okay.

Um, but they didn't answer
their cell phones this morning.

Well, did you call
Perry's parents?

No. She's a single mom. We
called, we texted, she's not answering.

We went over there, 291
Dyckman. No one answered the door.

But our tracker app says
the girls' phones are inside.

Okay.

Okay, look, I need you to try
and stay calm. Please have a seat.

Have a seat. I need for you
to look through your phones.

Find the most recent photos
of Mia and Zoe that you can.

Okay? Okay.

Okay, now one girl's stabbed,

now two others missing
or worse? (SIGHS)

They're not responding from
inside that apartment? Let's go.

And now we call Liv.

Who's a good boy?

Noah's a good boy. (BABY LAUGHS)

Yeah! Noah's a good boy.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Benson.

Okay.

You're heading
to their apartment?

Yeah, I, I gotta
call my sitter, um...

Yeah, I'll be there
as soon as I can.

Okay, yeah.

(SIGHS)

WOMAN: Please, don't! Put the
gun down. I'll do anything you say!

MAN: Open the door!
I'll do anything you say!

Hands up, step away
from the door. NYPD.

What the hell? I'm on
the job. State police.

And I freakin' live here. We
were just fooling around. I...

What's your name?

Barbara Gilbert.

So your Perry's
mother. Where is she?

What? (STAMMERS)
She's at a sleepover.

Where?

Mia Harris and
her sister. I think...

Their moms texted me
yesterday. What is this about?

NICK: All clear? Yep.

(SIGHS) No signs of a
struggle, no forced entry.

Come on in.

Where's Perry?

Tell me what's going
on. NICK: Call her cell.

What is going on?
Just dial, Barbara.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

BARBARA: What's it doing in
there? (CONTINUES RINGING)

It's Perry's phone.
And there's...

There's two more in here.

Now, these have got
to be Mia and Zoe's.

(CELL PHONE CHIMES) No.
Perry's obsessed with that phone.

She wouldn't go anywhere
without it. Well, she did last night.

Now, is there any place that you
can think of that she might have gone?

A place that she likes to party?
Does she have a boyfriend?

Party? No, no.
She just turned 13.

Where the hell is she?

They're working on it, Barbara. Come
on, let's... Let's go get some water.

Thank you.

Liv's on her way to the hospital. I
told her you'd join. Take Perry's mom.

No, you know what? You take
her. I'm gonna go to the park.

Hey, we don't know what
we're dealing with... Seriously?

You don't think I can
handle myself? Come on.

No, that's not
what I meant. Good.

Look, you're better
at dealing with Liv.

And she's going to be pissed when she
finds out we didn't call her right away.

(SIGHS)

Next time, call me earlier.

I just didn't want to
bother you on your day off.

Nick, that's not your
decision. It's mine.

So, we have one girl
stabbed, the other two?

They're still missing. Look, we found
their phones and sent them to TARU,

but there's no social
media posts since yesterday.

And the suspect? There's not much
to go on. Carisi has some blurry photos.

He and Rollins are cobbling
together a search. Cobbling?

Today's the Marathon and
every cop in the city is working.

(SIGHS) At this point, nobody
matching the description's been found.

So, call the Academy. Get cadets
out there, auxiliary. Uh, Scouts...

Officers? The little girl's
conscious. Her mothers are with her.

It wasn't my idea.

What wasn't your idea, Zoe?

Mia took Mom's phone
and texted Perry's mom

saying that she could
sleep over at our house.

No. Her mom texted me that
you two were staying with her.

(EXHALES) That was Perry
pretending to be her mom.

They made me
promise not to tell.

What were you thinking,
Zoe? Joan, not now.

BENSON: Listen, Zoe,
we're not angry at you.

Yeah. We just want to know how
you ended up in the park last night.

They were going, and they
said I couldn't be left alone.

Why didn't you call me? You know your sister
doesn't think straight all the time...

Ma'am, can we just... Can we talk outside,
please? I am not leaving my daughter.

Joan, Mia is still out there.
Let the police do their job.

Zoe. Zoe, listen to me.

You're not in any trouble.

But we need you to help us find your
sister, okay? (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

So, why did Perry and Mia
want to go to the park at night?

They said it would be scary.

Night after Halloween,

the spirits were still out.

Zombies.

Fun scary.

Spirits.

Okay, so, what was the plan?

We left at midnight.

Perry had a camera, just in
case we saw somebody scary.

She said we were gonna
show it to everybody.

NICK: Well, did you? Did
you see somebody? A zombie?

They did. They were screaming.

"Run, Zoe, run!"

But he caught me
and knocked me down.

You saw him? Zoe,
you saw his face?

Yes. It was the Glasgowman.

Our suspect may
live in these woods.

He is over 6'0", he's
heavyset, he's bald.

He may go by the
name "Glasgowman."

He may have a
scar from ear to ear.

Also, for what it's worth, the vic
describes him as wearing an eye patch.

This is an active search for two girls, white.
Mia Harris, she's 12, red hair, blue eyes.

Okay? She's 5'3". Then
we got Perry Gilbert,

she's 13, dark hair,
blue eyes, 5'0". Got it?

All right, let's go.

We're gonna fan out. We're gonna
move into the woods from the north side.

SONNY: What the hell is this?

Hey. A child's backpack.

CADET 1: Hey, Sarge, you've
gotta see this. CADET 2: Over here!

Detectives, the cadets
think they found something.

Hey, get this to CSU.
Can you do that?

Cadets saw someone run into
that cave. He won't come out.

SONNY: Is he
armed? I don't know.

ROLLINS: All right. NYPD. Let's
get on out of there. Hands in the air!

(MAN GROWLING)

Hey, hey, hey. We
want him alive, okay?

I said hands up. Get
on the ground, now!

Okay, whoa! Take it easy,
my friend, take it easy.

Get out on the ground! All right,
all right. Come on, come on out.

Nice and easy. No one gets hurt.

Put the stick down, get on the ground, or I
will tase your ass. Put it down, let's go!

(YELLING GIBBERISH)
Get out! Get out of here!

(TASER ZAPPING)
(SUSPECT YELLING)

He's not going down! Then
stop it. Turn the damn thing off!

Okay! Enough. Enough!
(MAN GRUNTING)

Stay on the ground, sir. Stay on
the ground. MAN: I never did anything!

I don't want anything
else to happen to you.

Easy, easy! Don't move.
Don't move. (MAN YELPS)

No one gets hurt, all right?
I haven't done anything.

Just relax. Just
relax. Just relax.

It's okay. It's okay.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I've never seen
this man in my life.

He took Perry?

We don't know.

It's too late, Rick. They've got him,
they don't have the girls. They're gone.

(SOBS)

He killed them!

She doesn't place him?

No. Zoe was convinced it's
him, and that he's Glasgowman,

but she doesn't remember
being stabbed. (DOOR OPENS)

Perry's mom, no help. Boyfriend's
got his hands full with that one.

Okay. What do we
have on Glasgowman?

ROLLINS: Charlie
Dorsey, he's 36.

The local precinct's seen him rummaging
through the garbage, collecting cans.

A frequent flyer at
Hudson River State Asylum

until they dumped him back on the
streets when it closed down in 2003.

And after that, he stops taking his
meds, jumps the couch a few times.

Minor stuff first,
then amps it up.

Uh, subway assaults, then he stabs a
guy in the kidney at a homeless shelter,

gets a three-year-bid in Attica.

He gets released two years
ago. Meets once with his PO,

and then goes off
the grid until today.

It was only a matter of time. I mean,
you can't unscrew the top of a salt shaker

and then be surprised when
it spills all over the table.

All right. Do we have any physical
evidence linking him to Zoe's assault?

No sign of the weapon.
Negative on the rape kit.

And we're running his
clothes now for DNA.

And that eye patch,
it's just for show.

He got extremely agitated
when we tried to take it off.

Find anything in that cave?
No, it's tiny. It's a spider hole.

Well, he lives in that park,
he's got to sleep somewhere.

We haven't found anything yet.
Look, those woods are dense,

it's the last primeval forest in
the area. It's gonna take some...

Okay, all right. Did he say
anything about Perry or Mia?

No. He clammed up,
he claims he has no idea.

Okay. Why don't I
take a run at him?

No disrespect, Nick, but I
think he trusts me, Sarge.

But you just said he clammed up.

Rollins?

Uh, well, Carisi did get them to stop
tasering, um, helped talk him down...

Okay, guys, it's been over 12
hours since two girls went missing.

(SIGHS) Carisi, let's go.

(GRUNTS)

Take it easy. Take it easy. Do you
know why you're here, Mr. Dorsey?

Oh, this, this ain't right.
This just... This isn't right.

(MUTTERING) I can see that
those cuffs are pulling at you.

How about you answer some of our questions
and then maybe we could take those off.

What, are you trying to
bond with me, little sister?

Being able to chain and
unchain me up like I'm a...

Like I'm a junkyard
dog? I'm not...

(HOWLING)

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Down, boy. Be good. Be good.

You know that's not how
you get what you want.

Well, that would be
true if I were here.

Okay, uh, Mr. Dorsey...

Charlie! Call me Charlie.
My father was Mr. Dorsey.

Okay, Charlie. So where is it
that you think you are right now?

I don't, I don't have to think.
I, I know who you both are.

And I know I've been on your
watch list for a very long time.

Okay. Whose watch list?
(STAMMERS) They want to tell me that,

that I'm hearing voices, and they
want to keep me in the system forever.

No, no, no, no.

That's what they
were saying about me.

Behind window number one.

Saying I stabbed a guy.

Like that defines a man.
Well, as far as I'm concerned,

if you can live on this planet
and not be emotionally disturbed,

then you're not a real human.

Okay, Char... Charlie? Hey, hey.

You're right, big
brother, you're right.

We have been watching
you for a long time.

But do you know why we
had to bring you here today?

It's because I saw the plane
go down. On the Hudson River.

The official story was geese, but I saw the
missile go off and knock it out of the sky.

And they know that I know that the
plan is to erase it from my memory.

First using the meds,

and then using the lasers on these
little cellular phones that everybody has.

But I will not forget I'm a
loyal, I'm a loyal American.

(SINGING) My country,
'tis of thee Sweet land of lib...

Okay, Charlie. Charlie. Charlie!

Charlie, can you look at
me for a second? Charlie?

Listen to me.

We're not gonna let
that happen to you

because we are gonna
protect you, okay? Yeah.

Now, I need you to take a
look at these three girls, okay?

No, no. That's okay.
Look, Charlie, this...

This phone does not
have lasers in it, okay?

I promise you.

So, I just... I need you to take a
look at these... At these three girls.

Can you do that for me?

And tell me if you've
ever seen them before.

One, two, three.

No. No, I've never... I've
never seen these girls before.

I'm not gonna fall for this.
They can't trap me like they do.

Hey, Charlie.
Charlie! Charlie, hey.

I need you to talk
to us, please. Okay?

I don't... I don't want to have
to hand you back to them.

No.

Okay, I need you to tell me

about the girl you were with
in the woods this morning.

Oh, her.

She was very pretty.

She smelled like strawberries.

Mmm-hmm.

But I knew that if they found her near me,
that they would accuse me of stabbing her.

Why would they do that?

What, are you
calling me violent?

Nobody said that. But we all
heard it. I will not stand for this.

I did not hurt that little girl.

I found her bleeding, and
as the last Good Samaritan

in this dying society,
I alone saved her.

Yeah, and it's a good
thing you did, Charlie.

'Cause she's gonna
be all right, it looks like.

That's good. That's good.

Did you save the
other two girls also?

No. No. What...
What other girls?

I only told you that
I found the one.

You filmed the whole
thing, anyway, on the device.

Device? Charlie, what device?

Well, I found it. Your people
installed it. But, but I have it now.

Okay, installed it where?
Inside of my dwelling.

They need an excuse
to ransack my domain.

Sergeant, if it's okay with you,
how about I take Charlie up there?

If he didn't see those girls, then
the device is gonna show us that.

Yes. That's a good
plan. I like that.

I will... I will need my eye
patch back for that though.

Charlie, I think we
can accommodate that.

Oh, good.

You guys see?

Do you see this?

Don't threaten me
with medication.

Just treat me like a man.

CHARLIE: It's down there.

SONNY: Where? Under the kudzu.

ROLLINS: All right. Show us.

Little brother, I need you to switch
my eye patch over to the other side.

So you can see in
the dark? Right. I get it.

All right. The device,
Charlie. Where is it?

It's the third bag on the left.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Wait, what are you doing?

Okay, calm down. This is just so that
we can prove that it was planted here.

Okay.

Okay, we got it.
Good job, Charlie.

Hey, Rollins, I want
24-hour guard on this place.

Nobody disturbs a thing
until Charlie here is released.

All right. I'm on it.

Okay, Charlie, look at
me. You did really good.

Hey. Get CSU
down here, right now.

No, (STAMMERS) you and your
people can go now. I'm gonna stay here.

You know I can't
let you do that.

It's gonna be okay. Come on.

You know what? It's okay.
You guys go on ahead,

I'll stay and make sure
nobody comes in, all right?

Okay. I need you to switch my
eye patch over to the other side,

I don't want the
sun to blind me.

Let's go, Charlie.

Oh, no, no.

(EXHALES)

Hey, so no trace of the other
girls in or around his encampment.

And the dogs didn't pick up any
scent, either. What about the knife?

Charlie claims they're
for hunting and fishing,

and that the blood on
the knife is from bluefish.

We're running it now
for prints and DNA.

Um, CSU is still there
going over his place.

And this "device"?

It's a handheld zoom camera. It's
pretty dinged up, we sent it to TARU.

That could be the girls'. Zoe told
us Perry had a camera that night.

These guys are good.
TARU's already got something.

Tonight, we're going to
go to Inwood Hill Park.

Glasgowman will meet us
there and take us to his mansion.

ZOE: I don't want to.

Clock's ticking.

It's the night after Halloween
and midnight approaches.

Our mission is
about to commence.

Where's the map?

Where's the map?

PERRY: Your sister probably
lost it. Did not! Mia took it.

MIA: I did not.

A map? Mansion?

(SIGHS) Zoe didn't
mention any of this.

I can't tell you. I
already broke the pact.

Zoe, stop this! You tell the
police what they want to know.

Where were you girls going?

The gateway. The gateway?

It's where you meet Glasgowman
before you can go into his mansion.

Okay. So tell me
about this mansion.

But if he finds out the grown-ups
know, he'll kill Perry and Mia!

Zoe.

Zoe, please.

Okay.

If Glasgowman likes you,
you get to live in his mansion.

No rules, no school.

And there are portals
inside. To other realms.

But I don't know where it is.

Okay.

So, Zoe, where did
you get this map?

Was it on the Internet?
Was it at the library?

From Leslie.

Leslie? Perry's babysitter.

Oh. When did she get a new
babysitter? What happened to Alicia?

She quit a few months ago.
Perry's had a lot of sitters.

Okay, and this Leslie, when
is the last time she babysat?

Thursday? But Leslie's
not a she. He's a boy.

He's really neat. Tells
a lot of scary stories.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR) BENSON: NYPD!

(DOOR BANGS OPEN)
Can I help you? Whoa!

Back away. Where are they?

LESLIE: Who?
Mia, Perry, the girls.

When was the last
time you saw them?

(STUTTERS) Uh, I don't
know. Tuesday, maybe?

Is that when you gave
them the map? No, wait.

What? That mansion, where is it?

Oh. It, it doesn't exist.

It's all in here. Hey! Listen to
me. We don't have time for that.

Those girls went into
the woods with your map

looking for Glasgowman.

NICK: You tell them to do
that? You meet them there?

What? No! No,
Glasgowman isn't real.

No? Recognize him?
We have him in custody.

You arrested Charlie?
Oh. So you do know him.

He's homeless. I bring him
food, he tells me crazy stories.

The kids call him Glasgowman.

I just amped it up,
created the lore.

The "lore"? Zoe got
stabbed, she almost died.

Stabbed? You can't think I had
anything to do with that. I adore Zoe.

Is that why you drew her here,
covered in blood with Perry and Mia?

Look, Perry likes scary stories.

I started to turn them into a
graphic novel, but it's all fiction.

Yeah, fiction. So what's the
plot? What happens to the girls?

There's, like, six books. I just
started editing it all this weekend.

I don't know where they are!

They said they were looking for
Glasgowman's mansion, okay?

And we know that they
were using your map.

Hey, I'm gonna ask you
again, where is the map?

I don't know where they are.
Rip this place apart until we find it.

No, no, no, no, no!
Please. Please, no!

Please, wait! Don't. Don't.

Is this it? Is this the map?

Okay, okay. Here.

In the story, Glasgowman
goes over the bridge,

and then up and down the
river. That's this lizard's tail.

NICK: Wait, that's
got to be the Hudson.

Uh-huh.

What are we looking at here?

This is the gateway to the mansion.
It's like the portal to other realms.

I based it off of one
of Charlie's hideouts.

Okay, so where is it?

It's upriver somewhere,
Spuyten Duyvil Park.

What is that down there?
Well, it could be the gateway.

Perry? Mia?

Heads up!

Perry! Mia!

Oh, no. I got a knife.

And a dead cat.

That can't be good.

All right, guys. Let's get this
bagged and tagged for CSU.

(SIGHS)

Perry?

Mia?

Hey. Hey!

A little help in here!

We got both of them.

Oh, jeez. Mia?

ROLLINS: Call a Bus.
Mia? Perry? You all right?

Help us. Help us.

ROLLINS: Perry?
Hey, can you hear me?

Yes. Who did this to you, baby?

Glasgowman.

He said he was coming back
to bleed the devil out of us.

But he never did.

We were running in the woods, and
Glasgowman saw us and he started chasing.

We ran and I tried to drag
Zoe but she tripped and fell

and Perry said he was right
behind us so I just kept running.

Mommy, I'm really sorry.
Okay? This is all my fault.

It's not your fault, honey. Just...
Just tell us what happened next.

We went back and I saw him over
Zoe's body and he was just going ballistic.

He was just stabbing
and stabbing...

Okay, okay.

And I yelled, "Leave her alone!"

(SNIFFLES) And
then he came after us.

And he caught us both
and he showed us his knife

and he said that if we didn't go with
him, he was gonna bleed us out right there.

Oh, dear God. And that's when he
marched you up to Spuyten Duyvil Park?

Yeah. BENSON: Then
what did he do with Zoe?

He covered her with
leaves and left her there.

Oh! (CRIES)

We were walking
for, like, hours.

But before we got to the
mansion, Mia started crying,

she said she wanted to go home.

This really made Glasgowman
mad. He went ballistic.

Ballistic?

What did he do?

He forced us into the
gatehouse, he threw us down

and threatened
us with his knife.

He tied Mia up and said
we weren't going anywhere.

But he didn't tie you up? No.

He tried to but I
was fighting him off.

He said he heard helicopters,

so he stabbed me,

then he killed the cat,
and then he took off.

Okay. Perry, did you
see him kill the cat?

No, I heard it.

Hmm.

And when did all this happen?

Last night. So, Sunday night?

Okay. Well, we just want to
make sure that we got the right guy.

I'm really tired. Can this wait?

Look, you already have
him. Let my daughter rest.

Wait. You have Glasgowman?

Why don't you tell us.

Oh, my God.

How'd you get this close?

Perry, are you
sure that that's him?

A million percent.

The scar, the beard.
He had an eye patch, too.

I'm not joking, you
have to lock him up.

He said he'd kill me if I
told anyone what happened.

They're suffering from
exposure and dehydration.

They had food in their
backpacks. Mostly candy.

And the stab wounds on Perry?

Not as deep as the ones on Zoe.

All on the left side of her body,
mostly the arms. No organs.

Anything else?

Perry was disoriented. She
said she was attacked last night,

but there was no
inflammation, no bruising.

These injuries are fresh. I'd
say an hour old, two at the most.

Huh.

Uh, and, and, Doctor.
Any defensive wounds?

No. None, actually.

Hey, how'd it go with the girls?

The timeline is way off.
They're both blaming Charlie,

we've had him in custody
since Sunday afternoon.

Or they may just be confused. He
could have walked them up there

then gotten back to Inwood
by the time we picked him up.

Except the doctor just told
me Perry's wounds are fresh.

Okay, so they're covering
for someone. Who?

I don't know. Maybe it's a
Romeo and Juliet kind of thing.

Two girls go off to be
with some Svengali...

Wait, but then who stabbed Zoe?

I don't know. Rollins, you... You
checked the girls' social media?

Yeah, and their texts, their
emails. There's no boyfriends.

Not even really
any other friends.

It's just a lot of back and
forth between Perry and Mia.

They're in their own world.

BENSON: Zoe, can
you think of any reason

that Perry or Mia
might want to hurt you?

Of course not.

Let's let Zoe answer.

Maybe Perry?

I mean, she's the
one who told Mia

only babies share their
room with their baby sister.

So you sometimes want to
hang out with the big girls.

But they... They never hurt
you before, maybe by accident?

Well, sometimes.

By accident.

Once, Perry and Mia were hanging out in
Perry's room. I walked in without knocking.

Perry got mad, ran out
and pushed me down.

Mia just stepped on my
foot when she ran after Perry.

But Mia would never do
something like that on purpose.

I mean, I know I annoy her
sometimes, but we're sisters.

We love each other.

Breaking news!

The knife that we found inside
the gatehouse, only one set of prints,

Perry's. (ROLLINS SCOFFS)

Her wounds were all on one side, no
defensive marks. She stabbed herself.

After she tied Mia up.

Yeah, okay. So who stabbed Zoe?

Hold on, we got that, too.

Here it is. DNA from Zoe on the blade
of the knife found in Charlie's camp.

Ah, this is interesting.

On the handle, touch DNA from
Charlie, and guess who else?

Perry and Mia.

So Charlie was telling the truth. He picked
up that knife same as he did the camera.

Go give him the good news.

Bring those girls back in
here and tell their mothers why.

Should we call Barba, too?

Both of the girls are under
14-years-old, Zoe lived.

They can't be tried as adults.

I'll call corporation counsel.

I told you I wasn't crazy.

Oh, no, you're bat crazy.

But you're not paranoid.

We're still trying to figure out
what happened in those woods,

but we do know you
didn't stab those two girls.

You didn't tie the other one up.

Did you... Did you
find that on the device?

No. No, Charlie. You were
in our custody at that point.

You really are a Good
Samaritan. You saved that girl Zoe.

So... So, so I can...
I can leave now.

Well, you did
violate your parole.

No. Don't... Don't
send me back to Attica.

I won't, but you know you
just can't go back to the woods.

So, how about we
get you on a program...

Maybe we get you on some meds.

I know how you feel about that, but you
just gotta trust me on this, okay, Charlie?

Do you think you can do that?

For a while. Yeah.

Good man.

SONNY: So you need
to tell us what happened,

because what it looks like is
that you and Perry stabbed Zoe.

No. No, I thought we were just gonna leave
her in the woods. Just scare her a little bit.

ROLLINS: Then why did you
bring a knife? I didn't bring a knife!

Perry brought a knife. She
brought one for her and one for me.

She said it was for protection.

Tell them how Perry scared you.

The detectives need to know
whose idea this whole thing was.

It was all Perry's idea.

We went to the park and then we
went down this path and Perry tripped her

and hit her on the
head with a rock.

And then she told
me to stab my sister.

I didn't do it. I
didn't do it, I swear.

Okay. Okay. So
what happened then?

She went crazy stabbing Zoe.

And I shouted, "Stop!" Okay,
there was so much blood.

Perry said that
she would kill me

if I didn't do as I was told.

Don you see this? Perry has made
a victim out of both of my daughters.

There was always
something off about that girl.

We understand.

Keep... Keep going, Mia.

Zoe was lying there.

And Perry, she took
my knife and the camera

and she threw it away.

She made me cover
my sister with leaves.

She held a knife
to my throat, okay?

She said that we were going
to Glasgowman's mansion,

and that I have to
forget about Zoe.

Her eyes were buggy and
she looked like a maniac.

Okay, she's crazy.

I thought she was my
friend, but she's crazy.

(DOOR OPENING)

Mia is blaming you, Perry.

She said that stabbing
Zoe was your idea.

But we don't understand is why you would
want to hurt your friend's little sister.

It wasn't my idea.

All right. You want to tell
us what really happened?

I was simply following orders.

BENSON: Whose orders?

Glasgowman. He
comes to me at night.

We communicate.

He stared into my eyes
and told me my mission.

If I failed, he was gonna take
my breath away at midnight.

I had to prove my loyalty.

Perry, where are
you getting this?

SCHWARTZ: Let her talk.

Perry, how did you
prove your loyalty?

I had to take innocent blood.

Okay. Whose blood?

Zoe. That's how
you get to be a proxy.

But when Zoe was lying there...

Bleeding...

I didn't feel
Glasgowman's presence.

I started to doubt.
That's why she survived.

He must've switched the plan.

BENSON: Okay. So
what did the plan become?

He led us to the gatehouse.

In the form of a cat. But,
I mean, I knew it was him

because he had
Glasgowman's eyes,

and when I looked into them...

He told me to murder
Mia. (SOBS SOFTLY)

Oh. Then what happened?

The cat was
glaring so powerfully,

trying to make this
hypnotic connection.

I couldn't take it, so I
stabbed it through the heart

because I didn't
want to kill my friend!

(WHIMPERING)
Glasgowman tricked me.

I swear, this isn't my daughter. I've
never heard her talk like this before!

Can I have a moment with
my client and, uh, her mother?

Counselor, what do you think?

First impression? She's
not competent to stand trial.

For what it's worth, there
was no sign of this behavior

before she knew
that we were on to her.

She took two girls into
the woods, stabbed one,

stabbed herself, killed a cat. I'd
call at least one of those a sign.

And we don't think
Mia's involved?

Nah. I have an
easier time believing

that she's under Perry's
spell, she's scared to death,

then believing that she stabbed
her own sister and left her for dead.

What do you recommend?

Do you have any proof of conspiracy?
Emails, texts, posting on social media?

No. No, we don't.

I'll order a psych eval.
We'll see where we are.

Perry, you're saying that
Glasgowman tricked you.

Can you tell Judge
Linden how he did that?

He said we'd live in his
mansion, and have a true life.

But he got angry when
I wouldn't stab Mia.

I tied her up, but I,
I wouldn't stab her.

And that's when you
stabbed yourself instead?

Yes.

Yes. I was outside of my body.

One part of me was arguing with
the other part, like a devil and angel.

My body got hot. I could feel my
blood swirling and boiling inside of me.

So I stabbed myself,
to let the blood cool off.

Perry, that's a very
interesting story,

but you do understand that
stabbing Zoe was wrong, don't you?

No! The police were wrong.

Since they entered Glasgowman's
realm and "saved" us,

the world is an
unbalanced place.

COX: Is that a yes or a no?

PERRY: You don't get it, do you?

Glasgowman's partners
from the other realms

are gonna come back
seeking vengeance.

We're all gonna die!

All right, I think we've heard
enough. Thank you, Counselor Cox.

Perry, you may step down.

I'm ready to make my ruling.

While I am very troubled
by the seriousness

of the injuries
sustained by the victim,

the mandate of family court is
to be therapeutic, not punitive.

Mia Harris, please rise.

Seems to me, based on
your and Zoe's testimony,

that you were also a
victim in this matter.

I therefore declare you not responsible
and release you to your parents' care.

However, I strongly recommend that
you receive weekly psychiatric care.

I would recommend
that for Zoe as well.

ROTH: Thank you, Your Honor.

JUDGE LINDEN: Perry Gilbert.

I adjudicate you as
a juvenile delinquent

on the underlying
charge of assault one.

But based on your testimony
and the psychiatric report,

in lieu of juvenile detention I am remanding
you to Creedmoor Psychiatric Center.

You will remain there
until you are determined

to no longer be a danger
to yourself or others.

I hope you get
the help you need.

We are adjourned. (GAVEL BANGS)

Great. Mia's gonna walk
and Perry gets soft time.

Rollins, justice was
served, all right?

Perry's looney tunes, and Mia and
Zoe, they'd never hurt each other.

If you say so.

BARBARA: Hold the door!

(SIGHING)
