Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

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.

You are a household name, Paulo.

You're playing the best soccer of your life.

I know that.

Does the front office?

They do.

It's what the Kings hoped for

when they brought you over from Brazil five years ago.

And they want to continue to...

nurture that investment.

Meaning what? We got it all?

50 million over five years.

And the no-fault clause?

Thanks to me, it's locked and loaded.

You, my friend, are among the untouchables.

Your talent is untouchable.

Always has been, always will be.

All right. We should head out of here.

You've got a match to prepare for.

As it stands now, we are here at one apiece

with five-plus minutes left of the game.

It's to Paulo Rocha now in full command of the pitch,

taking it straight to Cincinnati's defense.

He gets by one defender, then another.

No stopping him. There's four defenders around him.

He tries to find a way.

He right puts it. And it's a goal!

Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!

How you doing? Good, good.

What's going on, guys?

Welcome, Mr. Rocha.

Everything ready? Yes, sir, Mr. Campos.

We've got you up on the 15th floor.

Presidential suite, right?

As always.

You're too good to me, bro. God bless.

Can you believe this?

They're saying Piñero's defense

was the deciding factor against Cincinnati.

You don't dive in that cesspool.

Nobody knows what they're talking about.

I score the goals, make the plays.

I create. Defense doesn't do anything.

I hear you, boy-o.

That is why they just dumped all of that money in your lap.

After this interview, nobody's gonna be talking

about Piñero. Believe me.

Hey, maybe we can push it until tomorrow.

I've got dates tonight. Multiple.

Paulo, it's for "Sports Wrap."

The cover story. You got to do this.

I already said all I got to say out on the pitch.

They can quote me on that.

It's part of your job, Paulo.

No, it is not.

My job is to win matches, get paid.

That's it.

Hey, come on.

I want to celebrate.

Paulo, please. Just push it.

It is your job, business manager.

Can you weigh in here, please?

Reporter's not in town much longer.

Hey, you got to strike when the iron is hot.

Boy-o, come on.

Let's get that face out there.

Hello, Paulo.

Olá, bonita.

And what do I call you?

I'm Nellie.

Well, Nellie,

você tem um sorriso lindo.

OK.

OK, should we get started?

You've said you feel like a kid in the U.S.

You love playing mini golf.

Ah, well, what can I say?

I'm charmed by those little windmills.

Mm.

Since joining the Kings,

the team has won two championships.

You're about to sign another multimillion dollar contract.

The fans love you...

And I love them.

But you've also developed a reputation as a showboater

and a selfish player on and off the field.

For example,

in August, when Piñero's mother died,

every player went to her funeral but you.

That was my call.

Paulo wanted to go, but he needed rest.

Is that true, Paulo?

Antonio, why don't you and Mondale take a walk, hmm?

Nellie and I can handle this.

That's not really a good idea...

Thank you, Timothy.

Let's go.

Can I get you a drink?

I'm having one.

No, thank you.

OK, then.

What else you got?

On the field, you seem to take pleasure

in humiliating opposing players.

The fans love it.

It's like gladiators in the ring.

Or you're a tyrant.

You're cocky.

Have we done this before?

You don't remember me, do you?

I wasn't quite so cocky back then.

You interviewed me.

No, I was just a simple fan.

Ah, well, I have so many fans,

but I'd remember one as beautiful and...

spirited as you.

Where did we meet again?

It was London eight years ago.

Lucky me.

Fate has brought us back together.

Hey.

Wait, come on. Don't be like that.

You're a piece of crap, Paulo.

Would you just calm down?

Stay away from me!

Let's talk about this.

You're talking about Paulo Rocha,

the soccer player?

Yeah, big fish in a big pond.

And then he came stateside, and suddenly he's a whale.

OK, can you walk us through what happened?

Yeah, all right, so my editors

have been after this interview for years.

I asked Paulo a few questions.

And then he sent his manager and agent out of the room.

So you were alone with Paulo?

Look, I knew he was gonna turn on the charm,

but this was a real opportunity for me to talk to him

without his handlers.

Right away, he grabs me. Tries to kiss me.

And I told him I'm not interested.

And what happened when you told him no?

He grabbed my breast and pushed me onto the couch.

And then he raped me.

Nellie, did you tell anyone afterwards,

maybe a friend or a colleague?

No.

But some of it is recorded.

I mean, I was doing an interview.

OK, can we... Yeah.

Jesus, could you please stop?

It's not funny. Let go.

Aw, no. Come on, baby.

We're celebrating.

No, absolutely not. I said stop!

Hey, hey.

You're not going anywhere.

I mean, I've run into men like this before.

The money and power goes to their heads.

To them, everyone's either an employee

or a possession.

He's, like, a genuine superstar.

Yeah, which means this case is gonna be

a genuine pain in the ass.

This reporter, she's credible?

And she's got a recording of the encounter.

I think that Muncy's right.

This case is gonna be a giant pain in the ass.

The press, 1PP, not to mention his camp.

So Fin, Rollins, get Paulo's side of the story.

And you two, get the security footage from the hotel

before some desk clerk leaks it.

So you're a soccer fan?

No, I'm a fútbol fan.

You know, the most popular sport in the world?

Well, it's not football if someone's not getting tackled.

Or getting a traumatic brain injury.

You've never watched a game in your life, have you?

I'd rather stop by a laundromat,

pop in a few quarters, and watch a dryer spin.

Officers, how may I help you?

It's detectives.

And you may help us by confirming

that Paulo Rocha was a guest here last night.

He had an interview. What's this about?

Is this the woman who interviewed him?

Hmm, I couldn't really say.

Well, could you say where the security footage

from the 15th floor is?

Nellie must have misunderstood.

Maybe she did, maybe she didn't.

She filed a complaint, so we have to follow up.

A complaint alleging what?
