Don't own it

Interogation room

An officer bring Anthony in the room. Benson is already there, sitting on the table. She stands up when Anthony comes in the room and they take his hand cuffs off.

BENSONAnthony you're free to go.

ANTHONYYou mean it? Thanks. But why? Did you catch my wife's killer?

BENSONThat's what I want to talk to you about. Here sit down, do you want something to drink?

Anthony sits down and shakes his head no.

ANTHONYI just need to know what happened.

BENSONWow. I really hate to do this. Your father did it.

ANTHONYNo. That's impossible. Not my father.

BENSONAnthony, honey, I'm really sorry this happened to you and your wife. Your father did it. We have genetic proof from the crime scene and he already confessed.

Anthony just starts to cry and shake.

ANTHONYI don't get it. I just don't get it. Why would my dad do it? Why?

BENSONI don't know what to tell you honey, but there is someone I want you talk to.

She motions at the window/mirror to George Huang. George enters the room and crouches next to Anthony.

HUANGAnthony, you remember me, George.

ANTHONYYeah. Why are you here?

HUANGI'm here for you Anthony.

ANTHONYDid he rape Katie before?

HUANGHe hasn't been charged for it yet, so this is off the record Anthony, but-

ANTHONYI get it. I mean I don't get it, but I get what happened.

BENSONAnthony we're going to need you to talk in court.

Anthony turns to George who is still crouched beside him.

ANTHONYDo I have to?

HUANGDo it for Katie.

ANTHONYAre they sure it was my father?

HUANGVery sure. It's for the jury to decide now, but we're very sure Anthony.

ANTHONYHow do I tell my baby what happened? George, he's three, and he knows his Mommy's… he knows she dead.

Anthony chokes on his words. George offers Anthony and arm and he lets his body fall into his. George hugs him tightly.

HUANGI will be here every step. I'm not letting you do this alone. Don't worry.
