\nSPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT
\nEPISODE (redacted)<\/p>\n
SCENE 1: SMALL GREENWICH VILLAGE APARTMENT, SPATTERED WITH BLOOD AND GORE. <\/p>\n
A MAN IS IMPALED TO THE WALL, APPROX. FIVE FEET OFF THE FLOOR, BY A LONG PIECE OF METAL DRIVEN LONGITUDINALLY THROUGH THE LENGTH OF HIS BODY. <\/p>\n
DR. HUANG AND MEDICAL EXAMINER WARNER ARE ON SCENE WITH THREE CRIME SCENE (CSU) OFFICERS AND DETECITIVES MUNCH AND TUTUOLA. DETECTIVES STABLER AND BENSON ARRIVE ON THE SCENE. <\/p>\n
STABLER (HOLDING HANKIE OVER FACE): Wow. What’s up?<\/p>\n
MUNCH: It’s a bad one. Vic was shot 24 times with a .22 pistol. We’ve got casings…well, all over the place.<\/p>\n
BENSON: How’d the killer get in?<\/p>\n
CSU1: Killer blew the lock off its hinges with three shots from a .44 Magnum. We have the slugs here (points), there and there. Vic was killed over there<\/em> (pointing to desk with computer); see the blood pooled on the floor?<\/p>\n STABLER: Yep. Good job. So he blows the door open with a big <\/em>gun, but he kills the vic with a tiny little popgun?<\/p>\n TUTUOLA: Look at this; CSU found the gun’s magazine. <\/p>\n BENSON: (Examines metal object). It holds eight rounds.<\/p>\n MUNCH: The perp would have had to have fired eight shots, reloaded, fired eight more, and reloaded again<\/em>. <\/p>\n STABLER: Wierd. (Ponders). Wonder why, when he had the .44 handy?<\/p>\n HUANG: He wanted to cause pain. A single .22 hit hardly ever kills; it takes a hit to the medulla or heart, pretty much.<\/p>\n WARNER: Look at this – all 24 shots hit the stomach. All those nerve endings – it had to be incredibly painful.<\/p>\n BENSON: That had to hurt!<\/p>\n TUTUOLA: Word.<\/p>\n HUANG: What we have here is a deliberate attempt to cause intense pain. <\/p>\n STABLER: OK. Perp comes in, confronts vic, fires eight shots, reloads, fires eight shots, reloads, and fires eight more times. And then…<\/p>\n MUNCH: Then, the perp dragged the body over there…<\/p>\n BENSON: Blood smears on the floor in a trail from the desk to the wall…<\/p>\n MUNCH: …took this (points at victim) nine-foot-long piece of rebar and used this mallet to hammer it down the vic’s mouth, all the way through and out the…<\/p>\n BENSON: Spare me that <\/em>detail, thanks…<\/p>\n MUNCH: …and then nail the whole thing to the big beam along the wall, five feet up.<\/p>\n STABLER: Like a pig on a spit.<\/p>\n BENSON: A monster…<\/p>\n WARNER: Judging by the lividity and the blood spattering on the floor below the body, I’d say he was alive while the perp put in the rebar.<\/p>\n MUNCH: Ow.<\/p>\n CAPTAIN CRAGEN WALKS IN. <\/p>\n CRAGEN: Whadda we got?<\/p>\n STABLER: A real sick puppy!<\/p>\n CRAGEN: I need a collar on this one. The media’s camping out on the commissioner’s front door demanding answers. Canvas the neighbors?<\/p>\n TUTUOLA: Neighbors heard noth<\/em>in’.<\/p>\n BENSON: What motive could someone have to kill someone like…this<\/em>?<\/p>\n CSU OFFICER 1 (sitting at computer along the wall opposite the body): Detectives? Take a look at this.<\/p>\n DETECTIVES, CRAGEN AND HUANG GATHER AROUND, LOOKING OVER CSU1’s SHOULDER<\/p>\n CSU OFFICER 1: It looks like our victim wrote spam and trojan horses for a Russo-Nigerian online “marketing” company.<\/p>\n BENSON: (Reading) Get…A…$500,000…mortgage…for…$25 a month…<\/p>\n BENSON, STABLER, CRAGEN, MUNCH, TUTUOLA, HUANG and WARNER TRADE GLANCES.<\/p>\n STABLER: I call it a suicide.<\/p>\n BENSON: Me too.<\/p>\n CSU OFFICERS ABRUPTLY PACK UP THEIR GEAR. <\/p>\n CRAGEN: Bagels, anyone? I’m buying.<\/p>\n AND…SCENE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LAW AND ORDER SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT EPISODE (redacted) SCENE 1: SMALL GREENWICH VILLAGE APARTMENT, SPATTERED WITH BLOOD AND GORE.
