A woman takes a man she claims is her rapist/trafficker hostage and films her "interrogation" of him via livestream on the man's cellphone. When Benson arrives at the location to try and diffuse the situation, she herself is taken hostage and finds out the woman was telling the truth: her fellow hostage is a vicious pimp and kidnapper who abducted the woman a while ago and held her captive.
