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.
Hey, Rand, how do you sleep at night?
I'm serving my country, my friend.
I sleep just fine.
Welcome back to The Business Report.
My guest is William Rand, CEO of Battle Tested Security,
the largest private military contractor
in the world.
Another great quarter for Battle Tested Security.
The troop draw-down's been very good for us.
We've got 50,000 people worldwide doing the army's job
more cheaply and efficiently.
I told you I've got a surprise for you, right?
Surprise.
Mommy! Mommy!
Ooh... hi, sweetheart!
Oh, I missed you so much.
Welcome home.
Long day, sir?
They're all long, pal.
Hey, why are we going uptown?
We're supposed to be going to the heliport.
Relax, Mr. Rand. There's tunnel traffic.
All right, you guys, come on up this way.
This is a memorial to soldiers and sailors
who sacrificed their lives.
What is it, Tommy?
Okay. Give me just a second.
Get the kids out of here.
Um, I'll call 911.
I still don't know what happened.
Well, we think that you may have been drugged.
Can you tell us the last thing you remember?
The driver... I was in a limousine...
Went the wrong way.
He wasn't one of my regulars.
He was sent by the TV studio.
We'll need the name of your contact.
Ginnie can get that for you.
Virginia Pell, detectives. General counsel.
Emailing it now.
Great. This driver,
did he give you anything to drink, any water?
Anything else in the limo?
Yes, I did have some bottled water.
Okay.
So when the tox screen comes back,
it'll show whether or not they gave you rohypnol
or any other sedative.
Don't you need my permission to look at those records?
Mr. Rand... we're here to help you.
Beth, can you see where that nurse is?
These bandages are on too tight.
Of course, honey.
What, do you think I was raped?
Mr. Rand, you were found drugged,
beaten, and with your clothes ripped off.
I wasn't raped!
I was attacked by an enemy trying to humiliate me
because of the work I do.
Mr. Rand has been through a lot.
He needs to rest now.
Okay.
I appreciate your concern, detectives,
but we'll take it from here.
We have our own team of investigators.
We don't subcontract our investigations.
You do understand the delicacy of the situation.
We need to control the publicity here.
All of our cases are sensitive.
We need your cooperation,
unless you want us to start issuing subpoenas.
All right.
I'll be in touch, detectives.
Thank you.
Well, the driver that was supposed to pick up Rand
got a call two hours prior
telling him that the job was cancelled.
- From who? - Rand's office.
Whoever made the call spoofed the number.
I just got off the phone with the mayor's office.
That was fast.
Well, in case you hadn't noticed,
CEOs are a priority for his team.
They want to be kept in the loop.
- So where are we? - The fake caller ID
was set up by someone using orange box software.
Okay. And Rand is ex-military.
He's a former army ranger.
Built up his company guarding diplomats
in military bases with private security.
Could be a terrorist target.
They wrote "payback is a bitch" on his leg.
Doesn't sound like Al-Qaeda. It sounds personal.
Okay. Extracurriculars?
No bimbo eruptions. He's got a stable marriage.
Stays out of the headlines.
Except when he's hyping his company.
This is him going into the TV studio
right before he was abducted.
"Occupy Wall Street" got in his face.
Hey, Rand, how do you sleep at night?
I'm serving my country, my friend.
I sleep just fine.
Yeah, that's me.
It's about time someone called that goon out.
Well, you got pretty chesty with him, didn't you?
He's a war criminal.
He wants to go on TV and brag about the profits,
I'll get in his face.
Does that include kidnapping?
What are you talking about?
So where were you at 6:00 last night?
Uptown at a drum circle outside the mayor's house.
Look, something happened yesterday
that could tarnish your movement's image.
You want to know who's most aggressive toward Rand?
One of the guys you planted.
How do you know he was our guy?
Military build, 50...
Saw him getting into a pickup after a protest last week.
He hadn't even bothered to take the "special forces" sticker
off the back window.
All right, so here's your black pickup.
It's from police video two months ago.
It's outside Rand's condo.
Then a month later, there's our guy
outside a Soho benefit.
And last week, near battle tested's headquarters.
Let me guess-- the pickup's registered
to a dead nun.
Not unless her name is Donald O'Keeffe.
Lives in White Plains. He's a former marine,
special operations.
That's not too stealth for a kidnapper.
- Or black ops guy. - Rand's people know him?
Oh, they're dragging their feet
about turning over the phone records and emails.
They don't want us to find out who kidnapped him?
Or why he'd take it this far.
O'Keeffe's retired. We got a day job for him?
He's been doing security for oil tankers.
A lot of travel to Somalia.
Okay, handle with care.
This is a man who shoots pirates for a living.
O'Keeffe... We need a word with you.
This about William Rand?
- Okay, take it easy, man. - Donald,
don't make this harder.
What took you so long?
After what they did to my little girl...
Rand got what he deserved.
So, you cancelled the pickup,
posed as Rand's driver,
then roofied him.
Yep.
But it all comes back to my daughter.
You take care of her case, I'll take care of yours.
Look, dude, we're not here
to play let's make a deal with you.
Just tell us what you did.
Just... hang on. What about your daughter?
What's her connection to Rand?
She worked for his company in Basra.
A month after she started...
four of those animals drugged and raped her.
Men she worked with?
Did she report it?
To the nearest base commander.
He said they weren't military.
Four years we've been trying.
The State Department, the Justice Department.
Four years, and no charges have ever been filed?
DOJ caved like everyone else.
No one wants to take these guys on.
So a rape for another rape.
That makes it okay to you.
I gave him just enough of the baton
to make him think about it...
Every time he sits down.
He's not making it up-- the part about the daughter.
It doesn't mitigate. Assault, kidnapping...
We're not here to make deals with vigilantes.
There are legal avenues for settling scores.
All of which he tried, cap.
We're not Basra PD. Let's just stick to our job.
Rand has decided to work with us.
He wants to come in and make the ID.
- Take your time. - Sorry.
The drug must have wiped my memory that night.
You sure you don't want a longer look?
Appreciate all you're doing.
He called, asked to come in,
then tanked the ID?
