Hiding Her In The Basement - Law & Order

From Season 4, Episode 20 "Nurture" - Briscoe and Logan's investigation into the disappearance of a girl whose foster mother treated her as a slave leads the detectives to an eccentric former teacher.

This is the official YouTube channel for Law & Order. Watch all of the official clips from the series, some of the best moments from within the criminal justice system, where the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.

Poor girl was abused by the foster system and then gets kidnapped by a woman trying to replace her own dead daughter and got locked up in a basement without any other human contact. Everyone failed this little girl.

[thobiem]

On the real tho, this lady built a whole room under her house on her own. That's impressive.

[xXTheVigilantXx]

To be honest she was good to "Crystal", not to the girl that she kidnapped. The girl that Fennidy kidnapped was a replacement. What would have happened if the girl had broken the fantasy? If she had gotten tired of being "Crystal"? I get that it was a better life over what she had at her foster parents but I think the little girl was living next to a landmine.

Yes, everyone knows when you’re acting in the best interest of a child, when you casually steal them from their family, build a hidden room in your house and pretend no one is home when the police show up.

Once again I’ve fallen down the endless black hole that is L&O clips

[MMuraseofSandvich]

Took a child from her legal guardian, built an Anne Frank-style hideaway to do it, lied to the police about it during an investigation... but she exposed an abusive foster parent, so it's all good according to the attorney? :/

[BigSlimyBlob]

That woman is straight-up crazy. That her insanity made her save a child is fortunate, but the reality is, she could have saved the child without kidnapping her. She's dangerous.

[DinsRune]

"I want you to drop all charges."
"I mean... even if she _was_ helping the kid, she still broke the law."

[pepps]

Ignoring the whole kid in the basement thing, that is a rather solid secret room they built.

[dmc]

She can build an entire room out of cinderblock and hide it, yet can't run cable inconspicuously.

[lyramaria]

Briscoe and Logan were the BEST detective duo on the original Law and Order.

[PatchWorkExe]

A lawyer going "if you look past the statues for a second you'd see she was trying to save that child" is either a bad lawyer or has Phoenix Wright level powers. Looking past the law in a legal setting sounds as about as useful as bringing a single hammer to tear down an entire building.

[loulouwillis]

That's the point she didn't love Wendy she was a stand-in for Crystal. This means she would keep kidnapping little girls to replace her daughter. If she found one that didn't cooperate, she would have gotten worse over time.

Side note, who doesn’t let a person working in your home use the bathroom??

[lisabinhawaii]

That same little girl shows up again in Law and Order as a sociopathic adult who pretends to be in high school to con foster parents 😂

[ReaverLordTonus]

Yeah, that woman's little choo choo has definitely gone round the bend.

[anthonyitaliano]

Anyone else think the lady and the psychologist look extremely similar? Like, if they suddenly reversed the roles I'd be like wai..."

[alysiamerdavid-wasser]

One week ago, google cards posted something like: "It's time for Law & Order to upload their episodes..." I clicked & it said: "We're going to need 20 seasons of L&O to get us through the probable COVID-19 quarantine.". I chuckled. Not laughing now. 😞

[catherinep]

Right up until she said how they treated Crystal, I was thinking she had a caring heart, but she's actually crazy.

[GhostDrummer]

The worst part isn’t the lady building a hidden room on her own and hiding the girl, it’s that she supposedly did all that work on her own but neglected to hide the fourth coaxial cable. She just left it out in the open leading into the closet.
