The Chicago P.D. joins forces with Manhattan SVU to uncover the roots of a child pornography site.
Summary[]
Sergeant Hank Voight and Detectives Erin Lindsay and Jay Halstead track a child pornography victim to his last-known whereabouts in New York City, where Sergeant Benson and the SVU squad get a new lead – evidence of a live-streamed pornography "club" that caters to its subscriber's shocking requests. When Lindsay discovers someone from her past is involved, she hopes it will help lead them to the site's ringleader, but tensions between Voight and Benson could threaten the case.
Plot[]
Benson and Voight interrogate George, showing him the video of Henry and explains what will happen because of him while he denies any role in the act. Benson explains that she came across his bank account and asked if he bribed to look the other way. After he gives no answer, Benson decides to leave him with Voight but he pleads to her to not to do it and starts to give up some info but this isn't good enough and they go hard at him until he reveals that when delivering Henry that the man was angry at him being late because he had to pay a toll.
They interview Teddy but he doesn't recall anything. They turn to their next card, another victim Jocelyn who was in the room along with Teddy. Benson and Voight go undercover, so as to make Jocelyn believe she is meeting the parents of Henry.
Teddy and Joceyln are reunited, with Jocelyn being angry to see him because he hurt her after she thought they were friends. However, he admits to her that he was sparing her further trauma from another abuser who was older and cruel, before he breaks down in guilt at causing her more trauma. Seeing his sincerity, Jocelyn forgives him before they witnessed a distressed and scared Henry being groomed by Clinton on video, Teddy decided to help identify Clinton.

Quotes[]
- Henry Thorne: [on the video feed] Please. Please, let me go.
- Benson: There's Henry, George. It's not quite what you expected, is it? But you didn't know. Or you didn't want to know.
- George Turner: What's going to happen to him?
- Hank Voight: He's gonna be raped. He's gonna be hit. He might be killed.
- Benson: And when they do it, you're going to be just as guilty/ Because you're the one who sold him to them.
- George Turner: No.
- Benson: No? You know, we took a look at your bank account. You usually hit the ATM a couple of times a week but you haven't done that in a while. Did you come into some cash, George?
- George Turner: Yeah, I did some odd jobs.
- Benson: You know what I think? I think I'm going to let you explain that to Sergeant Voight while I go get some coffee. [Benson gets up from the table]
- George Turner: [fearful] No! No, no, no! Don't... Don't leave me with him!
- Benson: Give me one reason to stay. Give me one good reason to stay, George. [Voight gets up from the table and starts to roll up his sleeves]
- George Turner: They said they needed actors, young actors.
- Hank Voight: You're that stupid?
- George Turner: I make $12 an hour at the youth center, okay? I have a kid in college. They give me a $1,000 when I send them someone.
- Benson: So, when your kind goes to college, the boy that you sold...
- Hank Voight: [slams his hand on the table] Talk! Now.
- George Turner: I get a call every once in a while, okay? The guy never told me his name. He just gives me the money, he picks up the kid.
- Benson: In a gray SUV?
- George Turner: Yeah, I don't know where he takes them.
- Benson: Not good enough, George. [Voight moves in closer on George]
- George Turner: Um... Um... When he came to pick up Henry he was mad because I was late and he said in order to beat the traffic home, he had to pay a double toll, 22.50. He took it out of my money.
- Voight: [to Olivia] Wait a minute, let me get this straight. I can't bounce a perp around, but you can threaten that I will?
- Teddy Courtney: Voight, what're you doing here?
- Voight: I'm sorry, Teddy, I should've kept a better eye on you.
- Teddy Courtney: I wasn't as pretty as Erin.
- Voight: Benson, are you any good at undercover?
- Jocelyn Cerpaski: How could you do that to me?
- Voight: Kidnapping. Attempted rape. Federal child pornography charges. You're looking about 800 years.
- Bob Clinton: The kid came with me voluntarily. And nothing happened.
- Benson: Yeah? And if we had gotten there five minutes later?
- Bob Clinton: I would've been feeding him milk and cookies.
- Benson: Don't even try! We saw the first little show you did with that kid.
- Voight: You've got one chance of getting out here. Who's your boss? Wheres the other girl?
- Bob Clinton: [chuckles] You don't know. Get a DA down here. I know things. People. You'll never find out without my help. I just want one thing, full immunity. I walk.
- Voight: You walk? How about I buy you a Mercedes so you can drive out of here?
- Bob Clinton: Full immunity.
- Benson: And the next kid that goes live online, you lose any tiny leverage that you think you have
- Bob Clinton: If it were tiny, we wouldn't be having this lovely conversation.
- Voight: [Voight puts his hands on Clinton's shoulders] Benson?
- Benson: We'll think about it. In the meanwhile, I'm going to send you to the Tombs and let you think about your options. People get a lot of clarity there.
Background information and notes[]
- This episode is part of a crossover event that begins with the Chicago Fire episode "Nobody Touches Anything", continues with this episode, and concludes with the Chicago P.D. episode "They'll Have to Go Through Me".
- Amaro asks Fin if Jay Halstead was the detective that hit on Rollins in Chicago, to which he replies "Nah. Some other pretty boy." They are referring to the events of the Chicago P.D. episode "Conventions" in which Fin and Rollins went to assist the Chicago Police Department and the detective in question was Adam Ruzek (who has never appeared on SVU).
- Amaro and Ruzek would be partnered up in the Chicago P.D. episode in this crossover.
