How long were you together before you got married . Just a few months. Thats quick. Thats why we separated. Look, i. Its only been a couple weeks. I just went over to get a few things and thats. When i found her like that. Where were you before that . Working. Im an artist. I have a loft over in alphabet city. And how come you two werent getting along . Irreconcilable differences. Stabler what does that mean . Cheating . No. Look, just because two people love eachther doesnt mean they can live together. Why . Why are you asking me these questions . I mean, somebody killed my wife. Who wanted the divorce . We hnt decided to file but i wanted the separation. So then it is possible that your wife hid her Sexual Practices from you. Our sex life wasnt the problem. When. Can i. Do you know when youll release my wifes body . Well let you know. Any alarm bells going off on the husband . Several. Hes hiding something. Getting off while choking isnt something you share with frids and family. People are always shocked when they get that kind of news. I still think the victim was entertaining. She had a new man or hubby got there earlier than he said. Well, if s had a partner its manslaughter whether the m. E. Rules it an accident or not. Victim have any visitorsbesides the husband . The visitors log listed a pam adler and amelia chase arrived around lunchtime. Pam adler,the criminal attorney . Yeah, rose adler and klein. Fin she crossexamined me on a drug bust where a cop got killed. Accused me of police brutality. Dont tell me the perp went to the hospital . Well take the lawyer since fins got history. Go. Woman its terrible. Did she suffer . Stabler we really cant answer that. Were you two Close Friends . Yes. We met at vassar. We had our whole les ahead of us and now shes dead. Oh, i just cant stop thinking about her. First the divorce and now this. We heard it was a trial separation. Adler sixmonthold marriage and nothing but fights. Sydney couldnt take it anymore so she called an attorney i know. Have you seen sydney recently . She was supposed to meet amelia and me for lunch. When she didnt show, we went over to her apartment. Sydney said that she wanted to be alone but i think she had company. What made you think that . Adler she had on a robe, candles were burning music was playing and the bedroom door was closed. Benson do you have any idea no. The divorce was hitting her hard. She was depressed. Andrew was no prize. Stabler you dont like him. Hes an artist with questionable talent who married a meal ticket. They met on a caribbean vacation. Although where the little bastard got the ney ill never know. I at least convinced syd to sign a prenup. Is there anything else that you can tell us about her husband . Is there something i should know . Are you thinking foul play . Cause of dth is still pending so the law says we treat it as a homicide. What you know about the law i could fit in the palm of my hand. How much was mrs. Green worth . I dont have a clue. But call her divorce attorney. He should have a complete list of her assets. Thanks for waiting. This was sudden. Just a tragedy. What was sydney greens financial status . She made a killing in junk bonds but lost her shirt in the tech market. Theres nothing left . Well, apartments mortgaged. The husband might clear 50 grand. Thats still a lot of money. In manhattan . Dont kid me. Would he have walked away emptyhanded had your client lived . Absolutely. There was a prenup and tax returns show a loss after they married. Was andrew green aware of his wifes finances . She handled the money, so i dont see how. Fin her secretary said she should be done by now. These day traders live pretty good. Short hours, spa days. What the hell is she doing in there . Beauty treatments take time. A mud bath, cellulite dissipation an exfoliating facial. Time and money. Some women learn early how to waste both. Your exwives made you bitter. Not bitter, just resigned. The receptionist said the police were looking for me. You the detectives . Yeah, wed like to talk to you about sydney green. I still have some errands to run. Do you mind if we walk . How well did you know her . I met sydney at goldman. She made a fortune in junk and got out early. Kept her toe in trading for herself. We remained friends although she was a little too risqu\ for my taste. Can you get more specific . Im not interested in titillating you, detective. Just speak up and were gone. I dont understand. I mean, when pam gave me the news i just naturally thought it was an accident. Why would you assume that . I mean, she lived on the edge. Its how she worked, how she lived a big risktaker. Was she an adrenaline junkie . Nothing that extre. But you know, she got a rush from gambling, risky stocks, kinky sex. What kind of kinky sex . Like looping ropes around the neck, sick stuff like that. She even tried to sell me but i wasnt buying. Doesnt sound like you had much in common. You know, in some ways we were kindred spirits. How so . There arent too many wome in our business. And we both liked to make lots of money and show up the entitled men while we were doing it. Amelia chase said our victim was ahoker. Were they close enough for such an intimate confidence . Supposed to be kindred sisters fighting male dominance in the market. Yeah, they were so close she seemed real broken up by her friends death. You think she or the lawyer had anything to do with it . Last people to see her alive, but whats the motive . Stabler pretty strong. Hes got a negative bank balance and his Credit Report shows lots of bad debt writeoff. The wife cut the Purse Strings . She may not have had a choice; she was broke, too. Then why kill her . Benson 50 grands better than nothing. Would that cover his debt . Benson and then some. Have we heard from the m. E. s office yet . Fin not yet. All right well, lets get to the morgue and lean on the assistant m. E. Check with greens neighbors, all right . Find out how hes living. If he still looks good bring him in for a hard interview. You were drowning in bills. Did you kill her for the money . Money . There was no money. We were broke. But you stand to inherit 50 grand from her death. Thats plenty. Benson you said she never choked that she wasnt that kind of person. But somebody else tells a completely different story that sheid it all the time. Stabler okay, which is it, murder or accident . Now if she choked thenou either knew about it or you killed her outright. In that case, youre going to do some time yourself. Andrew, the system will go a lot easier on you if it was an accident. We told eryone we met on the islands but we really met in rehab. We just didnt want anybody to know. Which Rehab Facility . Narcanon. Addiction to pain killers. We already knew the worst about each other. Wouldve stood by her side through anything. If she had only come clean maybe shed still be alive. Came clean about what . Sydney was using drugs again losing control. She had a Bachelor Party and she and her friends. Attacked a male stripper. Was it reported to the police . Yeah. They were waiting for us on our doorstep when we returned from our honeymoon. How badly was this guy hurt . They raped him. Thats why we were fighting.

Are you looking for me . cause ive been looking for you drum solo giving everything i got attention kmart shoppers, love rocks when you shop at kmart for valentines day. dogs barking excuse me, were looking for peter smith. Is this about. . Yeah. Im going to take a break. I wont be long. So, did you find out the names of the other women who raped me do you know a woman named sydney green . You know i do. Have you seen her since the alleged rape . Alleged. No, i havent seen her or talked to her since she and her friends attacked me. You sure about that . I mean, i show your photo around and somebody from her building i. D. s you im not going to be so pleasant. Listen, youre not here to help me so whats this about . Sydney green is dead. And you think i killed her . Benson you had a reason. Cops treated me like dirt made fun of me, brought me to the hospital told the nurse it was a scam. Ive got reason to be angry. But i didnt kill anyone. We need an account of your vements two days ago. I was at the Animal Shelter until late evening. Check with my supervisor. Sydney greens building had security. If he did it, howd he get in . Munch so whats the verdict . Autoerotic asphyxiation. She tightened the rope around her neck like so. Using an arm to support her weight on the bed she leaned at a slight angle. But she miscalculated lost control, and passed out. Call it gentle strangulation. Thats comforting. Stabler we surthis is an accidental death . The assistant m. E. s convinced. He played it out and it looked good to me. We dont have a suspect. Peters alibi panned out. No sign of a struggle, no sign of a breakin. You want this to be a homicide . I. Hmm. I dont know, but somethings off. You can always take it up with warner when she gets back from her Conference Since youve got so much free time. Fine, officially its closed. Not quite. We still have an open rape case. No. I already talked to cragen who already spoke with cabot and shed like to see usn her office. So, yeah. Was he drugged . Benson he doesnt need to be. Was there even a weapon . None listed. Happened at the bachelorette party. Mob attack isnt unheard of. Cabot did the uniforms follow up on the suspects complaint . They asked a few questions and then they dropd it. Because they didnt buy it and neither do i and more importantly, neither will a jury. If the attack took place first male rape victim with female perps that adds up to a lot of attention doesnt it, counselor . I am not interested in that. He is the first man to come forward. The statute for rape one was changed in january, detective. What about his inability to complete the act against his will . An erection is a physical response, elliot. If he was aroused, he consented. The law disagrs with you. Interview the victim and get his statement. Well, it was your predecessor who declined to prosecute. So maybe you should find out why before we chase our tails. The alleged victim, peter smith, works as a male stripper. His schtick is dressing as a motorcycle cop with a badge covering the family jewels. One of the party guests took photos. Check the file. So you decided not to prosecute because you disapprove of the victims profession . Get off the soap box, alex. The guy claimed three women cuffed him to the bed and had a party. The bride claimed he was a pro looking to score. Did peter smith have a solicitation history . No. Well, then why didnt you pursue it . Im not wasting taayer money on a nowin. He just wasnt believable. Even his livein girlfriend wasnt buying it. The victim reports the crime and you just leave him twisting. If you want to jeopardize your standing on a flimsy trial, be my guest. Okay. I need your notes. Done. You clear this with villani . I dont have to. Sex crimes is my purview. See you. Peter and i broke up a long time ago and i wasnt at the party, so what can i tell you . Were just looking for some background. You dont believe peter was raped, do you . Well, join the club. What makes you think that he wasnt . Hes a guy. Men dont get raped by women. Men can be victimized. Sure. When i first met peter he was being kept by some woman 12 years older than him. She was paying for his tuition at nyu drama. His parents are well off. Why wouldnt they support him . Because his father said he wasnt going to shell out 25 grand a year for a drama degree. Cant say i blame him. What do you think your exs motive is for coming forward . Attention. Peter cheated on me with a casting director to get a part in a play. Hell do whatever it takes to get ahead. Making an accusation of rape is pretty drastic dont you think . Its not going to be easy for him. Interviews on talk shows, pundit commentary on the evening news. He probably thinks its worth it. That doesnt prove anything, elliot. Except maybe we should keep digging. Why . Because she told you what you wanted to hear . Its not our job to judge the victims. Thats up to the jury. I can give you an assessment of your rape victim but bear in mind i havent examined him yet. How did peter smith let three women get the better of him . Guy works out, he takes care of himself. And yet you tell women not to fight back. Thats different. Why . Because hes a man because hes stronger, he could overpower them. Men are taught differently. You know, oh, it hurts but dont cry, be a man, internalize the pain. Does the victim have any siblings . Three sisters. There you go. A lifetime of instruction on how to treat women. Never hit a female, no manhandling if youre angry, walk away. Yeah, but if he felt trapped why not just fight back . Because he had no control over the situation. His selfesteem and his pride were violated. I wouldnt be surprised if there were more male victims out there. Female rage is a growth industry. The price of equality. Are you still a stripper . No, not since the rape. I used to book birthdays and private parties. It left me free to audition during the day. Benson so youre an actor . I gave it up. Okay, so you show up in your cop outfit. Why dont you just run us through what happened. I got there late. There were about 30 women or so pretty sauced and hungry for entertainment. I danced for them. Did you have anything to eat or drink . Soda. I asked the bridetobe for my payment did you feel different after that drink you know, like youd been drugged . Should i have been . Do you need a reason why this happened to me . Why i wasnt man enoug to protect myself . Would that make you feel better . Benson peter. What happened then . Well, we get to the room but it was dark. She made her way to the desk and turned the lamp on. It was a Spare Bedroom and two other women were waiting. Did they call each other by name . No. One of them had a letter opener. She tried to stab me. The other two were pulling me back. They cuffed me to the bedpost. I started yelling but sydney turned the stereo on loud. Then what . They, uh. Underwear, too. I didnt want to, but. My body. I cant explain it. Arousal does not mean consent. And rapists use the bodys response against the victims to mess with their head. To make them believe that they were asking for it. Does this type of thing happen to women, too . Yeah, it happens a lot. What about the other guests, where were they . Still partying. Until sydney left the room i guess she eared the place. Did you ever say no . I yelled it. I screamed it. I even threatened to go to the police. One cold bitch said that what i knew about the law wouldnt fit in the palm of her hand. Which means amelia chase was probably the third member of this rape troika. Im not so sure hes being entirelyandid. He was raped, elliot. Hes an actor, hes trying to make us believe. Three women at the same time most guys would call that lucky. So w
