~ Kincaid menacing one of his victims. |
Dr. Brett Kincaid is the main antagonist of the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Mask". He is a serial rapist who wears a mask of the Hindu god of love while assaulting his victims as part of a delusion that he is "curing" them.
He was portrayed by Chandler Williams.
Biography[]
Past[]
He worked as a psychiatrist at a rehabilitation clinic for sex addictions, treating patients alongside his mentor, Dr. Cap Jackson, himself a recovering sex addict.
Behind his compassionate façade, however, Kincaid was a serial rapist who targeted his victims through his job. He operated under the narcissistic belief that he was the human incarnation of Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love, who is portrayed in Hindu texts as redeeming and purifying women through sex. Kincaid's signature was to don a mask modeled after Kamadeva while assaulting his victims and to hide his true identity. During the rape, he would remind them of their past assaults while mockingly assuring his victims that he would cure them of their impurities and make them "respectable" women.
He usually raped three to four women in a week while in several states.
"Mask"[]
During a session in New York, Kincaid learns that Jackson is estranged from his daughter Ann, whom he believes he had raped when she was a teenager while he was in a drunken stupor. Soon afterward, Kincaid puts on his mask and breaks into Ann's apartment, where he rapes her partner, Dr. Debbie Shields, whom he mistakes for Ann. During the rape, he tells her that he is "curing her of Falmuth" - a reference to the town where Jackson had supposedly raped Ann. (Both he and Jackson are unaware that the latter did not in fact rape Ann, but had consensual sex with her first crush, the real reason for their estrangement.) Ann walks in on the rape, and Kincaid beats her by stomping and making his escape, leaving her in a coma. Two boys in a building across the street witness the attack with their binoculars, take a picture of him in his mask, and call 9-1-1, but Kincaid escapes before the police arrive.
Detective Elliot Stabler of the NYPD's Special Victims Unit investigates the rapes and meets Jackson. Forensic psychiatrist George Huang, who often consults with SVU, theorizes that the rapist knows Jackson and is familiar with his life and work, and targeted Ann to "cure" her of the damage that her father had supposedly done to her. Stabler goes undercover as a recovering sex addict to join the support group that Jackson and Kincaid lead.
Meanwhile, Kincaid attacks stripper Holly Dimeo, who had been raped in college, and taunts her about her assault. However, in the midst of the rape, Dimeo cuts Kincaid's arm with a pocketknife and he is forced to run, leaving behind his DNA that is collected by the cops.
After Jackson learns the truth about what happened in Falmuth, he helps Stabler investigate the case, and they deduce that the rapist would have access to the female sex addicts in his and Kincaid's files. Jackson then realizes that Kincaid was in the room during group sessions when he talked about Ann. When SVU's crime lab reveals that the DNA on Dimeo's knife belongs to Kincaid, Jackson and Stabler realize that he is the rapist.
Kincaid lures Courtney, one of Jackson's patients who is having a relapse, to a secluded location by sending her a flirtatious text message supposedly from Stabler, whom she has a crush on. When she shows up, he overpowers her and ties her up, telling her that he is going to cure her of her "slutty ways". Stabler and Jackson interrupt him before he can harm her, however, and Stabler subdues him while Jackson tends to Courtney. Jackson then unmasks Kincaid, who justifies his actions as "curing" his victims. Jackson finds the wound connecting Kincaid to the rapes and tells Kincaid that he hopes he rots in prison for the rest of his life because of his actions on his victims and daughter.
Jackson was found guilty of several counts of rape and burglary, but when Ann dies of her injuries, he is convicted of murder, as well. He is then sentenced to life in prison.
