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.

Stop doing that! You're scaring me.

Well, we can't have that.

How 'bout a drink, non-alcoholic?

What are you, 15?

16.

Sweet 16.

We don't party like this at home.

- Where's home? - Pennsylvania.

We're here on spring break with our music class.

Haley's a piano prodigy.

She's gonna play at Carnegie Hall one day.

Tonight, I just wanna have fun.

You and me.

The left one.

Surprise.

Happy birthday, Dad.

Nah. Wow.

Thank you.

- Clown cake? - Jayden picked it out.

Jayden, this your idea?

Hey, this is my grandson, y'all.

That's what's up.

Come to Pop-Pop. What's up, man?

You guys did incredible, man. It's been a while.

Hey, you've got your life, we've got ours,

- but family's family. - Family's family!

What's up, man?

Thank you, thank you.

I'll go get some plates from the break room.

- He really seemed surprised. - So nice.

Ken and Alejandro did a good job.

Look at Fin; He's just this happy, mellow grandpa.

Yeah, my advice: Don't say that to his face.

- Hey, here you go. - Hey.

So, Fin's son, Ken, is married to Alejandro?

Yeah, and they had baby Jaden about a year ago in November,

and Fin is over the moon.

Good for him.

Oh, you're welcome to stay for cake, if you like.

I, uh... I have an appointment I can't miss.

- Tell Fin happy birthday. - Sure.

Haley!

Hey, have you seen Haley?

- Who? - My friend, Haley.

Sorry.

It's me. Where are you?

We have to get back to the hotel.

It's past curfew.

This isn't funny.

Are you okay?

Oh, my God, we're both gonna be in so much trouble,

so call me back, please.

Haley!

That's a cute child kid you got there Fin.

Thanks, I think I'll keep him.

Hey, has Jayden seen "Paw Patrol"?

I mean, Jesse is obsessed with it.

- You gotta watch it. - No, I don't.

- Excuse me, detectives? - What's up, sarge?

There's a missing 16-year-old girl.

The precinct sent them here.

I'm Detective Rollins; This is Detective Carisi.

Look, you have to find Haley. Please.

I'm head chaperone. This is all my fault.

So, you're one of Haley's teachers?

- Mister... - Turner. James Turner.

I'm her music teacher.

Charlotte, the other chaperone, and I,

are supervising 15 girls. We're from Beaver Falls.

- Birthplace of Joe Namath. - Uh, that's right.

Um, look, none of these kids

have ever been to New York before.

I should've kept a closer eye.

Okay, so, what happened last night?

Haley and Jenni must've snuck out.

It's supposed to be lights out at 10:00.

Does Haley know anyone here in New York,

maybe a boyfriend?

No, Haley doesn't have boyfriends.

Her whole life is the piano.

And nobody at school is good enough.

All right, sit down. Um, what about a home life?

Do you mean did she run away?

No, I can't imagine that. Her parents are so devoted.

They're on their way here right now.

And when did you first find out that she was missing?

Jenni woke me up at 6:00 this morning,

and I told James right away. 6:00 in the morning?

So Haley and Jenni were out all night?

I know we shouldn't have gone to that club,

but it was 16 and over, so I thought it would be safe.

Okay, and how long were you and Haley there?

I checked my phone, and it was 10:00.

I tried looking for her everywhere,

but it was like she vanished.

I know I should've gone back to the hotel, but...

- Where did you go? - I thought I could find her.

I went to Carnegie Hall,

and, um, that place where the philharmonic plays.

Lincoln Center?

Yeah, she dreamed of those places,

so I thought maybe she decided to go there.

And did you notice Haley hanging out with

anybody in particular at the club?

Yeah, she was dancing a lot with this guy in a clown mask.

He was older.

Jenni and Haley were at the Majesty on the Bowery

at a circus-themed dance party from 8:00 till 10:00.

Okay, check with the club, pull the security footage.

And she didn't use her ATM card.

Uh, no red flags on her social media.

Cell phone?

No, the only incoming call was from Jenni.

Haley's phone died before midnight.

Okay, look, she is 16 years old.

Best-case scenario is, she met a guy

and she lost track of time.

Worst case...

let's not go there.

Haley's parents are here.

Send 'em in.

You see stories like this on the news.

You never think it could happen to you.

We don't know that your daughter

is necessarily in danger.

No, someone took her, all right? I know it.

And whose fault is that?

You agreed to the trip. You always give in to her...

There's no one to blame here.

Why don't... why don't you both have a seat?

When is the last time you spoke with Haley?

Yesterday at breakfast.

Okay, now, does she know anyone here in New York?

- No. - No.

Maybe... maybe she met someone online?

She's still a little girl.

I mean, she... she doesn't even have her credit card yet.

She plays, uh, games on her cell phone.

We did check her social media.

I mean, it's possible that she has, uh, a fake account,

like finsta, something she kept hidden.

Not Haley.

Liv, you gotta see this.

James, you were supposed to take care of her,

keep her safe.

Okay, come on, let's go this way.

Look, like... like I said,

there's... there's no one to blame here, okay?

Why don't we have a seat?

All right, look, just please find our daughter.

Excuse me, I'll... I'll be back in a moment.

- It was in his spam folder. - I just found it.

Sent last night at 11:20 from Haley's phone.

You shouldn't have gotten in this car.

Stop it.

Take it off.

She seems terrified.

Balzarini Brothers. I know the place.

It's the best butcher shop in Brooklyn.

Start there.

- You recognize this guy? - Uh, maybe a customer?

Yeah, he works here. Vinny Drago. He's in the back.

- Uh, what did he do? - We'll let you know.

Hey, Vinny?

Don't interrupt a man mid-hack.

We've gotta ask you a few questions,

so please put the cleaver down.

Make it quick. I gotta bone, roll, and tie carcasses in 20.

Were you at the Majesty Lounge last night?

- It's possible. - I'll take that as a yes.

You know a girl named Haley Sadler?

No.

Maybe this will refresh your memory.

Oh, that was her name? Yeah, I might've met her.

Yeah, you might've met her. Well, you two were caught

on a security camera leaving together.

Okay, look, she was 16.

We didn't do anything, like, nothing, actually.

Where'd all this nothing happen?

Went back to my apartment.

Is that where Haley is now?

What? No... oh, we passed out on my couch,

I woke up, she was gone,

so whatever she's saying, she's lying.

She's not saying anything, actually,

and we're gonna need to check out your place.

Let's go.

Hello? Haley?

Hello?

- Clear. - I told you, she's not here.

Haley? Hello?

- Nobody's in the bedroom. - Carisi...

Here. Look at that.
