TEASER
INT. SVU SQUADROOM - MORNING
Phones are ringing off the hook, all the detectives are busy
frantically taking notes. Benson has finished with taking
another of the same calls.
BENSON
All the calls coming in today,
they’re all about someone named
ChuckConn. Calls are coming from
all over the country. What is going
on today?
Munch has stopped by for a visit.
MUNCH
Seems somewhat appropriate, I come
by for a visit, try to find out how
my old friends are doing, I get
roped into answering phones again.
Benson’s extension rings, Benson looks exhausted at Munch.
BENSON
You get this one, please?
Munch smiles. Benson transfers the call over.
MUNCH
ChuckConn Hotline, this is Munch.
Munch begins taking notes.
MUNCH (CONT’D)
I see. Where are you calling
from?... Lexington, Kentucky, yes
that’s a beautiful town with the
horse farms!... why thank you as
well. Yes, any information you can
provide will be useful. Do you have
an address?

BRANCHLANE CIRCLE - FRIDAY, JULY 30

INT. CONNOR APARTMENT - MORNING
Police have converged on the Connor Apartment. When Benson
arrives, she is immediately hit by the horrible stench and
must cover her mouth. As the camera pans around to show
Benson’s point of view, the entire apartment is filled with a
combination of trash, hoarding, LEGO toys in various states
of construction, other toys, small figurines, drawing pads
with childish drawn artwork. The floors are covered in food
trash, fast food wrappers and cups. Fin enters, he also is
hit by the horrible smell and immediately puts on a
protective mask. Benson realizes this apartment is filthy and
puts on a protective mask also. Fin hands Benson protective
gloves.
FIN
Place is a pigsty. No sign of
whoever this ChuckConn is.
BENSON
Pigsty is understatement of the
millennium.
Benson calls out for anyone else in the apartment.
BENSON (CONT’D)
New York Police! Wellness Check!
Does anyone in this apartment need
assistance?
Frail voice of Bonnie Connor calls out.
BONNIE (O.S.)
Help me!
Fin locates where the voice is coming from.
FIN
Bedroom!
CUT TO:
INT. APARTMENT BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS
Fin opens the door to the bedroom carefully. Benson follows
behind Fin. They find Bonnie lying motionless on a single
queen sized bed. The bedroom is filled with more toys,
posters, artworks, clutter and trash. Fin and Benson rush to
help Bonnie.
BENSON
Get an ambulance!

Fin is examining Bonnie carefully. Benson approaches. Both
show their badges to Bonnie
FIN
I’m Sergeant Fin Tutuola, this is
Captain Olivia Benson. Can you tell
us your name?
Bonnie is confused.
BONNIE
My... name?
BENSON
We’re with the New York Police. Can
you give us your name?
BONNIE
Bonnie... Connor.
BENSON
Mrs. Connor, can you tell us what
happened?
Bonnie looks more confused.
BONNIE
I... can’t remember.
BENSON
Can you sit up in bed?
BONNIE
No, it hurts.
EMT Workers arrive. Benson directs the EMT to Bonnie.
BENSON
Careful, she can’t sit up in bed.
Bonnie motions to Benson.
BONNIE
Where is Charles?
BENSON
Charles? Is he your son?
Bonnie nods.
BONNIE
Yes. Please find him. He’s been
missing for so long.
3.
4.
BENSON
Don’t worry. We’ll find him.
Fin and Benson stand aside as the EMT begins to assist
Bonnie.
BENSON (CONT’D)
What the hell is happening?
FIN
How is it we get over two hundred
reports in one day all about one
person?
BENSON
I don’t have any idea.

ACT ONE
INT. SVU SQUADROOM - DAY
Everyone is going over all the reports called in.
BENSON
Over five hundred calls received
from all fifty states, Washington
D. C., Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada,
Mexico, the United Kingdom, Russia,
China, Japan, Australia, they all
knew about the apartment at 14
Branchlane Circle, they all knew
about Bonnie, they all knew about
the condition we would find her in,
and they all know about someone
called ChuckConn.
Fin brings up a DMV picture of Charlene “ChuckConn” Connor on
the monitor.
FIN
Charlene Wilson Connor, formerly
Charles Wilson Connor, goes by the
internet handle “ChuckConn”. Born
February 24, 1982. 39 years old.
When we did our search, that’s when
we found out ChuckConn is the most
documented person on the Internet.
BENSON
We found tons of channels on
VidTube, all of them were
documenting ChuckConn’s life, from
being diagnosed with autism at age
four to the time he was ten years
old and won a $1,000 shopping spree
in a toy store, all the way up to
present day.
FIN
Unfortunately, ChuckConn has
developed a very poor grip on
reality. ChuckConn became obsessed
with drawing this bizarre comic
book called PokeyQuick. Some of
ChuckConn’s art is disturbingly
pornographic.
5.
6.
BENSON
We found a website called
PokeyQuick.com - it’s a set of
special wiki pages all dedicated to
ChuckConn’s life, it talks about
his mother Bonnie, about his
deceased father Bill. The webpage
has information about all the
Female Friends that ChuckConn had
in High School, it talks about his
Romance Journey.
GARLAND
Romance Journey?
Fin brings up on the monitor images of ChuckConn’s Romance
Journey signs.
FIN
In 2003, ChuckConn was putting
these hand made signs up all over
Franklin Valley Community College.
“21 and Single White Male, shy,
smart, young at heart, computer
skilled, seeking a cute 18 to 21
single female companion, does not
already have a boyfriend, does not
smoke or drink alcohol, average to
high income, drives a vehicle.”
BENSON
The signs were taken down and
confiscated by then Franklin Valley
Dean, Martha Lane Wallace. Wallace
expelled ChuckConn after an
incident where ChuckConn started
shouting out curses from Japanese
Anime television shows at Wallace
and claimed she was hindering his
Romance Journey.
FIN
Later, ChuckConn’s comic book
PokeyQuick gets found by users on
the message board 4Post. ChuckConn
starts gets harassed by trolls all
making fun of how bad his art is.
Only ChuckConn doesn’t know how to
ignore the trolls, starts flying
off the handle.
Garland is confused.
6.
7.
GARLAND
At what point does this history of
ChuckConn get to the mother Bonnie
in the hospital?
FIN
We’re getting there. After
ChuckConn’s father Bill Connor
passed away in 2011, ChuckConn
starts to go through what he called
his Tomgirl Phase.
BENSON
ChuckConn decided that they were
transgendered and began to take his
mother’s hormone supplements
because ChuckConn mistook them for
being used for gender reassignment.
FIN
No one else on either Bill or
Bonnie’s side wanted to step up and
help. ChuckConn sold off stamp and
coin collections for pennies on the
dollar, record stores bought over
4,000 vinyl records from her
father’s collection for just $200,
ChuckConn spends it all in one day
on toys and Legos.
GARLAND
Prior arrests?
FIN
October 28, 2011, less than two
months after her father died,
ChuckConn takes a van and tries to
run over the manager of a hobby
store all because they banned her
from the store.
BENSON
Then on December 26, 2014,
ChuckConn pepper sprays a GamePlace
clerk. According to police reports,
ChuckConn was upset that a video
game character named QuickFlash the
Jackrabbit was getting their arm
color changed. Both times ChuckConn
walks away with probation.
GARLAND
Financial records?
7.
8.
BENSON
PayFast donations from across the
country, some of whom were trolls
who commissioned bizarre artworks
by ChuckConn. Only other sources of
income are a Social Security direct
deposit to Bonnie on the first of
each month and a disability direct
deposit for ChuckConn on the
fifteenth of every month.
FIN
ChuckConn’s “Gravy Train”.
GARLAND
I’m sorry, did you just say “Gravy
Train”?
BENSON
ChuckConn calls his disability
check his Gravy Train.
FIN
Like those old dog food
commercials.
GARLAND
Like those old dog food
commercials. With all that
information, do we know where
ChuckConn is?
BENSON
The only cell phone number we found
was temporarily turned off for
nonpayment. Bank statements show
ChuckConn has an overdraft right
now of $204.54, only purchases that
aren’t for toys and games are for
fast food.
FIN
Somehow with all these trolls who
send ChuckConn money, it’s barely
enough to keep rent and utilities
paid. In 2016, right after
ChuckConn changed their legal name
from Charles to Charlene, ChuckConn
started making these bizarre
videos.
Fin cues up a video of ChuckConn and Bonnie in the bedroom of
their apartment.
8.
9.
CHUCKCONN (ON VIDEO)
Hello this is Charlene Wilson
Connor coming to you live from the
Big Apple New York City! You are
just in time for a very special and
important announcement from my
mother Bonnie Connor! Say hello,
Bonnie!
On the video, ChuckConn pulls a confused and frightened
Bonnie on camera.
BONNIE (ON VIDEO)
Hello... this is Bonnie Connor.
Please buy Charlene’s PokeyQuick
book. We are very poor and we need
the money quickly to pay rent.
Fin pauses the video.
GARLAND
Elder Abuse?
BENSON
It’s possible. Conditions in that
apartment were so bad, police
needed hazmat suits used for taking
down meth labs.
GARLAND
What’s the status of our victim?
CUT TO:
LOCALE CARD: MEDICAL EXAMINERS OFFICE - FRIDAY, JULY 30
INT. HOSPITAL EXAM ROOM - DAY
Benson walks in as a Trauma Doctor prepares X-Rays on a
light.
BENSON
I’m Captain Benson. How is Bonnie
Connor doing?
DOCTOR
Bonnie Connor?
The Trauma Doctor looks visibly distressed, and begins
pointing to Bonnie’s X-Rays.
9.
10.
DOCTOR (CONT’D)
Severe malnutrition, all your
victim was being fed were Ensure
milkshakes. Bedsores. Ringworm.
Numerous signs of vaginal and anal
penetration. Plenty of material
left behind, your perp didn’t want
to bother with protection. Then
your perp started to become
adventurous with their sexual
positions, left Bonnie with two
broken hips, a shattered pelvis, a
vaginal infection.
BENSON
Dis she say who did this?
DOCTOR
Bonnie suffers from Advanced
Dementia. She keeps asking us where
she is, who we are, where her son
Charles is.
Benson’s cell phone rings.
BENSON
Benson?... I’ll be right there.
Benson hangs up her phone.
DOCTOR
Before you go, do us a favor and
catch this son of a bitch, please.
CUT TO:
INT. CONNOR APARTMENT - DAY
Benson arrives as other police have detained Charlene
“ChuckConn” Connor.
CHUCKCONN
Will someone please just let me go
into my apartment?
Benson approaches ChuckConn.
BENSON
I’m Captain Benson, Special Victims
Unit. We’re investigating a series
of calls about elder abuse in this
apartment. What’s your name?
10.
11.
CHUCKCONN
Charlene Wilson Connor.
BENSON
What’s your relationship to Bonnie
Connor?
CHUCKCONN
Bonniestar Superquick.
Benson is confused.
BENSON
I’m sorry, what?
CHUCKCONN
Bonniestar Superquick. She’s my
PokeyQuick partner.
Benson looks more confused.
BENSON
Your partner? Are you saying you’re
married?
CHUCKCONN
By PokeyQuick himself, he’s helping
me complete my Romance Journey.
Benson motions for uniformed officers to detain ChuckConn.
BENSON
I think you better come with us.
CUT TO:
INT. OUTSIDE INTERVIEW ROOM - EVENING
Garland and Fin are watching Benson interview ChuckConn.
Prosecutor Eric Cardillo approaches Fin and Garland. Cardillo
hands Fin and Garland his Prosecutor ID Card.
CARDILLO
Eric Cardillo, New York District
Attorneys Office. Is this the
person you called about?
FIN
That’s ChuckConn.
Fin tuns on the intercom so they can overhear questioning.
11.
12.
BENSON (V.O.)
We found your mother with two
broken hips and a shattered pelvis.
Your mother shows signs that she’s
been raped. We’re confused how over
five hundred people were able to
tell us where she was and about the
condition we found her in.
CHUCKCONN (V.O.)
Damn Internet trolls.
CUT TO:
INT. INTERVIEW ROOM - CONTINUOUS
BENSON
Excuse me?
CHUCKCONN
It’s those damn cyber trolls again.
Always trying to interfere with my
Romance Journey. Well, I outsmarted
the trolls this time! Izzy said the
trolls couldn’t get to Bonnie. And
Izzy also said because Bonnie
couldn’t have children anymore,
that it was okay for us to do what
we did.
CUT TO:
INT. OUTSIDE INTERVIEW ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Garland, Fin and Cardillo all turn to look at each other.
FIN
(softly)
Oh God.
BENSON (V.O.)
Who is this Izzy?
CHUCKCONN (V.O.)
Izzy talks to me over DirectLink,
she told me it was okay for me to
be in a relationship with Bonnie.
Benson pauses.
BENSON (V.O.)
What did you do to Bonnie?
12.
13.
CHUCKCONN (V.O.)
Bonnie and I started slowly at
first. We began sharing the same
bed, cuddling with each other. I
was able to find Bonnie’s G-Spot,
something that neither Bill nor
anybody else Bonnie dated could do.
CARDILLO
That’s enough. Open it.
Fin opens the Interview Room door.
CUT TO:
INT. INTERVIEW ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Cardillo and Fin enter.
CARDILLO
Miss Connor, my name is Eric
Cardillo. I’m with the New York
City District Attorneys Office. At
this time, we are requesting that
you submit to us a sample of your
DNA for comparison.
CHUCKCONN
(confused)
Okay?
CARDILLO
An Emergency Protective Order is
being placed against you, Miss
Connor. You are to have no contact
at all with Bonnie Connor, nor will
you be allowed to return to the
apartment at 14 Branchlane Circle
until after a hearing on August
6th.
CHUCKCONN
But all of my stuff is at the
apartment. Where will I stay
tonight?
FIN
Not our problem.

EXT. MOTEL PARKING LOT - MORNING
ChuckConn is in a van with a vanity plate POKYQCK. ChuckConn
is homeless and using the van as a place to sleep. ChuckConn
pulls out a cell phone, opening a banking app that shows now
a slightly larger overdraft. ChuckConn opens a PayFast app
and logs in under Bonnie Connor. ChuckConn uses the Send
Money to transfer out $750.00 from Bonnie’s account over to
ChuckConn’s account. ChuckConn goes back to the banking app
where now ChuckConn has slightly more than $500.00 available.
ChuckConn leaves the POKYQCK van, and walks into the lobby of
the motel.
MOTEL CLERK
Good morning and welcome to the
Econo Lodge. How may I help you?
CHUCKCONN
I need a room, please.

ACT TWO
INT. SVU SQUADROOM - MORNING
The phones are going crazy again in SVU, as the Internet in
reporting how ChuckConn violated the Emergency Protective
Order against Bonnie by taking money from Bonnie’s PayFast
account. Benson is finished with another call. Garland enters
the Squadroom and is stunned to see everyone on phones again.
GARLAND
What is going on here?
BENSON
Today, everyone calling is saying
ChuckConn broke the EPO with his
mother.
GARLAND
How the hell would everyone know
that?
BENSON
Everyone calling in today says that
ChuckConn transferred $750.00 out
of Bonnie’s PayFast account.
Financial reports we just pulled
confirmed ChuckConn made the
transfer.
GARLAND
Please tell me all these Good
Samaritans can provide us with a
location.
Fin has finished with another call.
FIN
This time, we got a location for
ChuckConn. Econo Lodge Times
Square.

EXT. MOTEL - MORNING
A crowd of Internet bloggers are gathered at the motel. They
are led by Right-Wing VidTube streamer Nathan Hoff who is
holding a camera out and recording. Fin leads ChuckConn down
to the patrol car.
FIN
This way.
ChuckConn walks past the onlookers and sees they are
recording the arrest.
CHUCKCONN
Hello, this is your Mother Spirit
Charlene Wilson Connor, Goddess of
the good and positive energy of
PokeyQuick. I am well and in good
spirits and send all my supporters
love!
NATHAN HOFF
Hey ChuckConn, you’re live right
now to about three thousand viewers
on The Nathan Hoff Report! You’re
taking everything in stride? You
said you’re doing good?
CHUCKCONN
I keep in good faith that
everything will work out.
NATHAN HOFF
How have the last few days been?
You said they were pretty
stressful.
CHUCKCONN
It’s stressful now, but the
Multiverse Alignment is in the
process of beginning, so I know
everything is going to be okay!
FIN
Interview’s over!
Fin breaks up the interview with Nathan Hoff, pulling
ChuckConn away from Nathan’s camera and closer to the squad
car.
FIN (CONT’D)
What are you talking about with
this Multiverse Alignment?
16.
17.
CHUCKCONN
Well, if you have a favorite comic
book hero like Batman, then Batman
would come to life so you can talk
and interact with them.
Fin looks confused but puts his confusion aside to make sure
ChuckConn is put in the squad car.
FIN
I think you better stop talking
until you get a lawyer.
CUT TO:
LOCALE CARD: OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY ERIC
CARDILLO - TUESDAY, AUGUST 3
INT. CARDILLO’S OFFICE - DAY
Cardillo is seated behind his desk reviewing notes for
ChuckConn’s coming arraignment. ChuckConn’s Defense Attorney,
Dana Goldberg, knocks before she enters.
CARDILLO
Come in.
GOLDBERG
Dana Goldberg, I’ll be representing
Charlene Connor.
CARDILLO
You’re handling the ChuckConn case?
GOLDBERG
That’s correct.
CARDILLO
Your client is unemployed and on
disability. I’m impressed they can
afford your legal fee!
GOLDBERG
This one I’m doing Pro Bono! I
firmly believe that I can win this
case!
Cardillo looks dumbfounded and pulls the medical exam report.
CARDILLO
Did you read the medical report?
17.
(MORE)
18.
GOLDBERG
I did. And if it wasn’t for the
Internet trolls continually
harassing Miss Connor, none of this
would ever have happened.
CARDILLO
Your argument is that ChuckConn was
coerced by Internet trolls into
attacking his mother?
GOLDBERG
My argument is that Miss Connor is
mentally unstable and was not in
control of her actions.
Goldberg hands Cardillo a legal motion.
GOLDBERG (CONT’D)
Motion to dismiss on grounds of
mental impairment.
CUT TO:
LOCALE CARD: SUPREME COURT MOTION HEARING - HON. JUDGE
KENNETH STEWART - THURSDAY AUGUST 5
INT. COURTROOM - DAY
Cardillo, Goldberg and ChuckConn are in a pre-trial motion in
front of Judge Kenneth Stewart.
CARDILLO
Your honor, the Defense’s argument
of mental impairment is a huge
stretch. There has been no past
physical head injuries to the
Defendant, the Defendant is able to
read and write, the Defendant is
licensed in New York to operate a
motor vehicle. If the Defendant has
the ability of understanding these
concepts, then the Defendant must
have some basic understanding of
right from wrong.
GOLDBERG
Not when it comes to the harassment
that my client has had to endure
all of her life. Miss Connor is the
product of loneliness, of ridicule
and hatred.
(MORE)
18.
GOLDBERG (CONT'D)
19.
Miss Connor’s perceptions of what
were right from what were wrong in
terms of pursuing a romantic
relationship became clouded.
CARDILLO
Which came first, the Defendant’s
unhinged behavior or the trolls
seeking out the Defendant because
of the unhinged behavior? It’s
clear that people sought out where
the Defendant was staying at a
hotel in Times Square and
videotaped the arrest.
ChuckConn proudly interrupts the proceedings.
CHUCKCONN
I’m famous on the Internet!
Judge Stewart immediately bangs his gavel.
JUDGE STEWART
That last comment is to be
stricken. Miss Goldberg, please
control your client.
GOLDBERG
Absolutely! My apologies, Your
Honor.
Goldberg pulls ChuckConn aside to explain. There seems to be
visible disagreement between ChuckConn and Goldberg.
JUDGE STEWART
Is there a problem, Miss Goldberg?
GOLDBERG
One moment, Your Honor.
Goldberg and ChuckConn continue to discuss quietly.
JUDGE STEWART
Please explain to your client that
this is a bail hearing and that we
are attempting to determine if bail
should be set.
Goldberg tries to explain to ChuckConn. Finally Goldberg
turns to Judge Stewart.
GOLDBERG
Your Honor, my client wishes to
address the Court.
GOLDBERG (CONT'D)
19.
20.
Cardillo looks puzzled. Judge Stewart motions to Cardillo and
Goldberg.
JUDGE STEWART
Sidebar.
Cardillo and Goldberg approach the bench.
CARDILLO
Your Honor, this is not a good
idea. The Defendant has little
grasp of these proceedings and
would be open to self
incrimination.
GOLDBERG
“Little grasp of these
proceedings.”, a moment ago you
were the one arguing my client must
be competent because she knows how
to read, write and operate a car.
CARDILLO
The Defendant also knew how to log
into a PayFast account that
belonged to the victim and
transferred $750.00 out.
GOLDBERG
My client was homeless, Your Honor!
How was my client supposed to
provide shelter for herself?
CARDILLO
Financial Statements, Your Honor.
Cardillo hands financial statements to Judge Stewart. Judge
Stewart thinks over a moment.
JUDGE STEWART
I need to have Miss Connor sworn in
under oath. But I’ll ask the
questions.
Cardillo nods. Goldberg turns and nods to ChuckConn. Cardillo
and Goldberg return to their tables.
JUDGE STEWART (CONT’D)
Miss Connor, raise your right hand.
ChuckConn raises their right hand.
20.
21.
JUDGE STEWART (CONT’D)
Under the penalty of perjury, do
you solemnly swear that the
testimony you shall give shall be
the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth?
CHUCKCONN
Yes, I swear.
JUDGE STEWART
Very well. Miss Connor, there are
two issues to consider when
deciding bond. First, is the
Defendant likely to appear at
trial, and Second, if the Defendant
constitutes an unreasonable danger
to himself, his family or his
community.
ChuckConn interrupts again.
CHUCKCONN
“She.”
A pause as Cardillo looks at Goldberg, both in amazement of
ChuckConn’s outburst. Judge Stewart smiles and shows his
compassion and restraint to ChuckConn.
JUDGE STEWART
My apologies, Miss Connor. I was
simply reading from the statute
itself. Now Miss Connor, do you
have a plan for putting together a
bail bond?
CHUCKCONN
I need to go back to the apartment.
JUDGE STEWART
To 14 Branchlane Circle?
CHUCKCONN
Yes.
JUDGE STEWART
Why do you need to go back to the
apartment, Miss Connor?
CHUCKCONN
I need to pick up my personal
possessions. I’ll be willing to
proceed with everything if I can
get that done.
21.
22.
Cardillo and Goldberg both look at each other in amazement.
Judge Stewart pauses and smiles to ChuckConn.
JUDGE STEWART
I see. Thank you, Miss Connor.
GOLDBERG
Your Honor, at this time the
Defense would like to ask for a
mental evaluation.
ChuckConn interrupts again and stomps their feet.
CHUCKCONN
I need to get everything back home
now! I won’t feel safe proceeding
until I can get my items back! Now
now now NOW NOW!!!
Judge Stewart bangs his gavel as he runs out of patience.
JUDGE STEWART
Remove the Defendant!
Cardillo and Goldberg both look at each other in shock as
Bailiffs remove ChuckConn.
CARDILLO
Your Honor, I-
JUDGE STEWART
Save it, Mr. Cardillo! Bail is
denied! Trial will begin on
September 16th. Until this time,
Defendant will be held on remand at
Bellevue Hospital. Psychological
testing is to be ordered
immediately! This hearing is
adjourned!
Goldberg interrupts before Judge Stewart bangs the gavel.
GOLDBERG
Your Honor, one more issue!
JUDGE STEWART
What is it? My patience is at an
end with this!
GOLDBERG
My client is being classified as a
male inmate.
Cardillo looks to Judge Stewart.
22.
23.
JUDGE STEWART
Your point being, Counselor?
GOLDBERG
That my client is a declared
female, and is requesting to be
addressed by the Court with the
female pronouns she and her.
CARDILLO
Your Honor!
GOLDBERG
Plus, my client is requesting that
if she is incarcerated, that she be
sent to a facility that houses
female inmates!
CARDILLO
Your Honor, this is absurd! The
Defendant has been charged with
rape, with other charges by this
office still pending!
Judge Stewart raises his hands.
JUDGE STEWART
Enough! I’m willing to consider the
Defense’s requests but not right
now! Miss Goldberg, I suggest you
thoroughly prepare your client for
their next appearance in this
court. And the same goes for you
also, Mr. Cardillo. When trial
begins, I expect no more outbursts.
We are adjourned.
Judge Stewart bangs his gavel.
CUT TO:
INT. SVU SQUADROOM - EVENING
Cardillo enters and approaches Fin.
CARDILLO
Sergeant Tutuola, I need your help
putting together all the VidTube
links about ChuckConn.
FIN
That’s gonna be a problem.
23.
24.
Fin pulls up a now-deleted video with the error message, “To
help make VidTube a safer community for everyone, the videos
ChuckConn The Complete Chronology by Geno Solomon have been
deleted for violating VidTube policy regarding harassment and
bullying.”
Cardillo and Fin look at each other.

ACT THREE
INT. JUDGE STEWART’S CHAMBERS - AFTERNOON
Cardillo and Goldberg are both in front of Judge Stewart
again, this time they are joined by VidTube CEO Sara Barjciki
and VidTube corporate lawyer Zane Levinson
CARDILLO
Your Honor, the VidTube files
regarding the Defendant, Charlene
Connor are evidence of a crime. We
cannot seek prosecution of Miss
Connor without these videos.
GOLDBERG
Nor can I mount any sort of defense
for my client without these videos.
JUDGE STEWART
I understand the CEO of VidTube,
Sara Barjciki has taken time out of
her busy schedule to be with us
today.
BARJCIKI
Thank you, Your Honor.
JUDGE STEWART
With the pleasantries out of the
way, I must ask, Miss Barjciki,
what exactly did you hope you would
accomplish by being with us today?
Certainly this matter could easily
have been handled by Miss Levinson,
your legal counsel.
BARJCIKI
Your Honor, ChuckConn is an
annoyance to my content platform.
The sooner I can get rid of
ChuckConn from VidTube, the better.
JUDGE STEWART
Miss Barjciki, I’m curious. If
these videos contributed to the
bullying of Miss Connor as her
attorney states they did, why are
they only now being deleted from
your website?
Barjciki confers with Levinson.
25.
26.
BARJCIKI
Your Honor, I have major movie and
television studios trying to
distribute content on my platform.
Instead, viewers flock to ChuckConn
naked, sitting on a chocolate cake
and yelling out “Cake Farts!”. It’s
content that promotes hatred and
bullying. I have every right to
remove this from my content
platform.
Judge Stewart looks to Levinson.
JUDGE STEWART
Miss Levinson, are you familiar
with Title L?
Cardillo and Goldberg both take interest as they understand
Title L. Levinson looks nervously to Barjciki.
LEVINSON
I’m sorry, Your Honor, my training
is in media and entertainment
contract law.
JUDGE STEWART
Then this should give you as good
of an opportunity as any to look it
up on one of your client’s search
engines. Title L, specifically
Sections 215.35 and 215.40 of the
New York Penal Code which your
client’s search engines will tell
you is Tampering with Physical
Evidence.
Barjciki and Levinson are stunned. Levinson pulls her cell

is indeed the current New York Penal Code regarding tampering
with evidence. Cardillo and Goldberg both watch as Barjciki

Stewart gives a smile.
JUDGE STEWART (CONT’D)
Now then, Miss Levinson.
LEVINSON
(nervous)
Yes, Your Honor?

JUDGE STEWART
If I were to kindly and politely
ask Miss Barjciki to turn over all
the videos about Miss Connor to the
Prosecution and Defense within, oh,
let’s say 24 hours, what would your
client’s response be?
Barjciki and Levinson confer again. Levinson explains there
is no more stalling. Barjciki is stunned. Levinson turns to
Judge Stewart.
LEVINSON
You will have our complete
cooperation, Judge Stewart.
JUDGE STEWART
I’m so glad to hear this!
CUT TO:
INT. COURT HALLWAY - AFTERNOON
Cardillo and Goldberg walk down the hallway.
CARDILLO
You gotta hand it to Judge Stewart.
CEO of VidTube shows up personally,
trying to intimidate us. Stewart
calls their bluff. You and I get
our physical evidence back.
GOLDBERG
More like you get your physical
evidence back. Let’s talk deal.
CARDILLO
You must be kidding! Don’t you want
to wait for Dr. Skoda to evaluate
your client?
GOLDBERG
Come on, Eric, we both know what
Skoda will say. You don’t want this
to go to a jury any more than I do.
Cardillo considers a moment.
CARDILLO
Second Degree Rape, seven to ten.
27.
28.
GOLDBERG
Second Degree Endangering the
Welfare of a Vulnerable Adult, four
to seven. But don’t say yes to this
right away.
CARDILLO
Trust me Dana, we’re a long way
from yes, but please entertain my
curiosity about this.
GOLDBERG
We agree on where Miss Connor
serves out her sentence.
CARDILLO
Four to seven is already an insult,
you think I’ll agree to allow
ChuckConn to go to a women’s prison
where he’ll try to sexually assault
one of the other inmates?
GOLDBERG
Where she needs to be looked after
for her mental illness. But like I
said, you think about my offer. See
you on September 16th!
Goldberg walks away.

LOCALE CARD: BELLEVUE HOSPITAL - FRIDAY, AUGUST 6

Dr. Emil Skoda and ChuckConn are both seated. ChuckConn is
depressed and staring at the floor, unable to face Skoda.
SKODA
Tell me about PokeyQuick.
ChuckConn looks up, giving a happy smile to Skoda.
CUT TO:
EXT. PARK - AFTERNOON
Skoda is walking with Cardillo as they discuss ChuckConn.
28.
29.
SKODA
I sat through over four hours of
ChuckConn crying and pouring his
heart out to me about everything.
About PokeyQuick, the trolls, all
his Female Friends, his Romance
Journey, about how the Man in the
Pickle Suit always shows up and
steals away his girlfriends. Be
thankful I bill your office by the
patient and not by the hour.
CARDILLO
Help me understand what PokeyQuick
is so I can explain it to the Jury.
SKODA
PokeyQuick is ChuckConn’s primary
coping mechanism. The comic book
combines licensed properties
PokeyStar with QuickFlash the
Jackrabbit. PokeyQuick is how
ChuckConn visualizes himself in the
real world. PokeyQuick acts as a
sort of Mary Sue, standing in for
ChuckConn and fighting his battles.
CARDILLO
Sergeant Tutuola mentioned
something, “if you like Batman,
he’ll become real and you can
interact with him.”
SKODA
Oh yes, the Multiverse Alignment.
CARDILLO
Another coping mechanism.
SKODA
That and it also acts as an
escapist fantasy. ChuckConn
believes that he’s wealthy in his
PokeyQuick world. When the
Multiverse Alignment occurs, he can
use this money to pay off his real
world debts. Whatever problems
ChuckConn faces in the real world,
the Multiverse Alignment is
conveniently there to help solve it
for him.
29.
30.
CARDILLO
You keep using male pronouns to
describe ChuckConn. You don’t think
ChuckConn’s transgenderism is
valid?
SKODA
No. This was something the trolls
talked ChuckConn into. I looked
into the medical history. No
previous visits to any
psychiatrists, no prescriptions for
gender reassignment hormones.
ChuckConn thought gender
reassignment meant that he could
simply change his name from Charles
to Charlene. He began to take his
mother’s hormones meant to treat
menopause and listening to self-
hypnosis tapes, thinking this would
transform his body into a woman.
CARDILLO
That website that tracks ChuckConn
mentioned something about self
mutilation.
SKODA
More magical thinking. ChuckConn
was so desperate for sexual
gratification from a woman, the
trolls put the idea into his head
that he was a lesbian trapped in a
man’s body. ChuckConn’s magical
thinking, he attempted to create
his own vagina by slicing into his
perineum with a dirty kitchen knife
CARDILLO
What made ChuckConn like this?
SKODA
An absent father with declining
health, a narcissistic demanding
mother who alienated everyone else
away from their family. Neither
understood how to raise a child
with autism. So they just let
ChuckConn run free range.
CARDILLO
Bad parenting?
30.
31.
SKODA
More like no parenting. ChuckConn
has no understanding of what death
is. To ChuckConn, when a death
occurs, it simply becomes a part of
his PokeyQuick world. Beloved pets,
his father, favorite celebrities,
They’re all in ChuckConn’s
distorted version of Heaven.
Waiting for the Multiverse
Alignment.
CARDILLO
And the mother was narcissistic?
SKODA
Before developing Dementia, Bonnie
would threaten to commit suicide
whenever ChuckConn tried to show
any signs of wanting to be
independent and move out of the
apartment.
CARDILLO
How do the trolls get ChuckConn to
do all this?
SKODA
The trolls came in three different
waves. The first wave of trolls
found ChuckConn because of his
PokeyQuick comic book and teased
about his bad artwork. ChuckConn
has no idea how to deal with any
criticism of his work. ChuckConn
became a LolCow.
CARDILLO
A LolCow?
SKODA
Someone who gets milked for laughs
like a cow because of their crazy
antics on the Internet. But after
his father Bill died, the first
wave of trolls suddenly stop.
CARDILLO
Why would they stop?
SKODA
Bill was a very important part of
ChuckConn’s life.
31.
32.
CARDILLO
ChuckConn must have been devastated
losing his father.
SKODA
But then a second wave of trolls
show up. Vicious, much more
sadistic to ChuckConn. Some paying
him to draw his comic book, others
blackmailing and financially
exploiting him because of what he
was drawing. Stealing passwords,
making ChuckConn jump through all
kinds of hoops to get them back.
Having ChuckConn post unhinged
videos. Destroying his beloved
PokeyQuick medallion. Gaslighting,
Catfishing. Turning ChuckConn
bisexual and at the same time
making him homophobic.
CARDILLO
And the third wave?
SKODA
Trolls depraved enough to convince
ChuckConn to have sex with his
dementia suffering mother.
Cardillo considers what Skoda has just told him.
CARDILLO
This notion Dana Goldberg has of
sending ChuckConn to a women’s
prison.
SKODA
I would not recommend this!
ChuckConn would see this as a
victory and completion of his
Romance Journey.
CARDILLO
Trust me, I’m not stupid. But I
can’t send ChuckConn to either a
men’s or a women’s prison.
Whichever place he goes to,
ChuckConn is going to end up in the
prison morgue by the end of the
first week.
32.
33.
SKODA
If only this Multiverse Alignment
were real, my favorite comic book
hero would have been Captain
Lightning. Could make himself
invisible. The bad guys never had a
chance. I have a friend of mine,
he’s pretty good with problems like
yours. I can have him come by your
office if you’d like.
CARDILLO
I’ll take any help I can get.

CHUCKCONN (V.O.)
Yeah.

IZZY (V.O.)
There’s this creep on the Internet
raping their elderly mother who has
dementia.
BENSON (V.O.)
What’s the victim’s name?
IZZY (V.O.)
Bonnie Connor. She’s at 14
Branchlane Circle, Apartment 1C.
BENSON (V.O.)

New York City.
BENSON (V.O.)
Thank you, Miss Jenkins, we’ll have
a patrol unit sent out to
investigate.
IZZY (V.O.)
Awesome, thank you!
Fin pauses the audio. A computer program sorts the
transcribed sections of Izzy’s call to ChuckConn against
Izzy’s call to Benson. The AI highlights in green text the
matching words “Bonnie, Charlene, ChuckConn, really,
awesome”.
BENSON
Izzy must have realized things were
getting out of hand with ChuckConn,
she tried to hide what she was
doing by placing her phony tip
among five hundred other real ones.
FIN
Or maybe this is part of Izzy’s
plan. Manipulate ChuckConn into
raping her mother, then report
ChuckConn to the Police.

BENSON
Really? That’s not what your cell

IZZY
ChuckConn never really won that
contest. Bill knew ChuckConn would
never go to a real college, so
Bonnie had Bill cash out a $1,000
Savings Bond. Bill bribed the
manager of the toy store into
letting them call out ChuckConn’s
name.

ChuckConn thinks he wins that
contest, has his moment on

false expectations.

ChuckConn believes he has a psychic

just how much money ChuckConn’s
wasted by playing the lottery.

We started the Chess Club with one

came to us a year ago, she found us
through our DirectLink server. Izzy
said she was bored with stealing
ChuckConn’s passwords and money,
said she wanted to take the
trolling we were doing and go way
beyond.

How far beyond?
LOUIS
Izzy got the Chess Club to set up
an online fundraiser, we were going
to fly ChuckConn out to Seattle for
BronyFest. Izzy was going to be one
of ChuckConn’s handlers.
FIN
What was Izzy’s plan?
LOUIS
Izzy made contact with another
transgender woman, also an autistic
like ChuckConn, only this one was
underage. Izzy was going to have
them hook up at BronyFest so they
would make a sex video, and then
Izzy would blackmail ChuckConn with
the video.

At first, we were going to let
ChuckConn keep the money, to help

uploaded a recording of a call she
had with ChuckConn. Izzy was
telling ChuckConn that Bonnie was
the answer to her Romance Journey.
Izzy told ChuckConn that if
PokeyQuick performed the wedding
ceremony, then ChuckConn and Bonnie
could be together and they could
consummate their wedding.
FIN
What happened next?
LOUIS
When the Chess Club heard that
call, we refunded all the money
back to the people who donated. We
felt ChuckConn shouldn’t get any of
that money, not after what she did
to Bonnie. We figured this was the
best way we could honor Bill’s
memory.

episodes, and each episode is an
hour long! Not to mention all the
other users with their own
ChuckConn videos! I can’t send all
this to a Jury!
MCCOY
Because the Jury will watch those

about the trolls. And all the
trolls show your Jury is just how
gullible the Defendant was. If you
were on that Jury, would you feel
ChuckConn was truly responsible for
his actions?

and Adam Schiff. I can hear Adam
right now saying “Take the deal!”.
I said to myself when I got to the
big chair that I wasn’t going to be
like them. But then I got to that
big chair. And it made sense what
Arthur and Adam kept trying to tell
me.
CARDILLO
Take the deal.
MCCOY
This has been one of the toughest
cases this office has had to
prosecute. And you have handled
this case admirably, better than
anyone else. But now you need to
take the deal. No one will fault
you for doing this. You will have
the backing of my office one
hundred percent in the press.
CARDILLO
Dana Goldberg wants to have
ChuckConn declared as a woman so
they can be sent to a women’s
prison.
MCCOY
I have an option for that.
CUT TO:
LOCALE CARD: SUPREME COURT - THURSDAY, AUGUST 19
52.
53.
INT. COURTROOM - AFTERNOON
ChuckConn, Cardillo and Goldberg are again before Judge
Stewart.
JUDGE STEWART
Before we begin, I would ask the
Bailiffs to please remove the
disruptive individual seated in the
gallery.
Judge Stewart points to the gallery where there is a Man In
The Pickle Suit with sunglasses on. Bailiffs approach The Man
and begin to remove him from the courtroom.
MAN IN THE PICKLE SUIT
Free ChuckConn! FREE CHUCKCONN!
Judge Stewart bangs his gavel. After the disruption is
removed, Judge Stewart addresses the court.
JUDGE STEWART
I understand that an agreement has
been reached between the
Prosecution and the Defense.
CARDILLO
Yes, Your Honor. The State is
prepared to drop the charges of
Rape in the Second Degree in
exchange for a Guilty plea by the
Defendant to Elder Abuse Second
Degree.
JUDGE STEWART
Miss Goldberg, your client has
agreed to this?
GOLDBERG
Yes, Your Honor.
JUDGE STEWART
Miss Connor, you understand that
you will be entering a guilty plea
and that you will agree with and
abide by my decision regarding
where you will serve out your
sentence?
CHUCKCONN
Yes, Your Honor.
53.
54.
JUDGE STEWART
Very well. The Court accepts the
Guilty Plea from the Defendant. The
Defense has requested that Miss
Connor be given special
consideration and that Miss Connor
wishes to be recognized by the
Court as female and that the Court
must use the pronouns of she and
her when addressing Miss Connor.
Further, Miss Connor has requested
to be sentenced to a women’s
correctional facility.
GOLDBERG
Yes, Your Honor.
Judge Stewart considers his decision.
JUDGE STEWART
Miss Connor has placed this Court
in a most unique and challenging
position. The Court recognizes that
an individuals gender identity is
one of the fundamental aspects of
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. Gender identity is
quickly becoming an important
factor of consideration in
sentencing. Rehabilitation requires
that the State show due
consideration of all rights
afforded to inmates.
Goldberg and ChuckConn begin to smile.
JUDGE STEWART (CONT’D)
Charlene Wilson Connor, it is the
decision of this Court that you are
to be recognized as female, and
that when addressed by the Court,
that the Court is to use the
pronouns she and her.
Goldberg and ChuckConn celebrate.
GOLDBERG
Thank you, Your Honor!
CHUCKCONN
Thank you, Your Honor!
54.
55.
JUDGE STEWART
Charlene Wilson Connor, it is also
the decision of this Court that you
are to be sentenced to the
Metropolitan Correctional Center of
New York City for a term of no less
than four years, and no more than
seven years. You will be pleased to
know that Metropolitan Correctional
Center is a facility which houses
both male and female inmates.
CHUCKCONN
Thank you, Your Honor!
ChuckConn begins to celebrate more. Goldberg stops
celebrating because she realizes the deal she just agreed to
is about to backfire.
JUDGE STEWART
There is one other detail about
Metropolitan Correctional Center
that Miss Connor should be made
aware of. While this facility does
indeed house both male and female
inmates, the entire inmate
population of Metropolitan
Correctional Center is kept under
Administrative Segregation.
ChuckConn suddenly stop celebrating.
GOLDBERG
Your Honor!
JUDGE STEWART
Meaning that at no time will Miss
Connor have any contact with any of
the other inmates during her
sentence. This is for Miss Connor’s
personal safety as well as for the
safety of the other inmates.
Goldberg looks furious, Cardillo smiles.
GOLDBERG
Your Honor, Metropolitan
Correctional Center has been called
the Guantanamo Bay of New York! I
am giving notice to file an appeal!
55.
56.
JUDGE STEWART
You can’t appeal. This was the deal
your client just agreed to, Miss
Goldberg.
ChuckConn looks on the verge of tears.
CHUCKCONN
The Man in the Pickle Suit tricked
me again! No! That’s not fair!
JUDGE STEWART
Bailiffs will escort the prisoner
to her holding cell where she will
be transferred over to Metropolitan
Correctional Center tomorrow
morning. Court is adjourned.
Judge Stewart bangs his gavel and leaves the courtroom.
Goldberg turns to Cardillo. Bailiffs take ChuckConn out of
the courtroom.
CHUCKCONN
No! That’s not fair! It was The Man
in the Pickle Suit, he put you up
to this, Your Honor! PLEASE, YOUR
HONOR! THAT’S NOT FAIR!
ChuckConn is removed from the courtroom. An angry Goldberg
approaches Cardillo.
GOLDBERG
You played us!
CARDILLO
You got what your client wanted.
ChuckConn is declared a woman and
gets sent to a women’s prison.
GOLDBERG
You son of a bitch!
Goldberg walks away furious.

INT. COURTROOM - AFTERNOON
Izzy is being arraigned. Bailiffs walk Izzy into the
courtroom. Benson and Jenkins both watch from different
positions in the court gallery.
COURT CLERK
Docket number 1218-C-197, State of
New York versus Isadora Laura
Jenkins, charge is Conspiracy to
Commit Rape.
ARRANGEMENT JUDGE
Does the Defense wish to enter a
plea?
Izzy’s lawyer approaches.
LAWYER
Your Honor, my client wishes to
address the Court before entering
her plea.
The Arrangement Judge looks at Izzy cautiously.
ARRANGMENT JUDGE
Go ahead.
IZZY
Your Honor, I was molested by my
father! He’s here in the courtroom
right now!
Izzy points to her father in the gallery. Everyone else in
the courtroom gallery is shocked and begins talking all at
once. Jenkins has a horrified look on his face. The
Arrangement Judge bangs her gavel. Benson is stunned.
ARRANGMENT JUDGE
Order. Order! Bailiffs!
The Arrangement Judge directs the Bailiffs to arrest Jenkins
while Benson is unable to do anything. Benson and Izzy look
at each other from across the courtroom. Izzy smiles evilly
to Benson.
END ACT FIVE
