| ~ Young making demands while holding a hostage at knifepoint |
Clark Young is the main antagonist of the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Intersections". He is a serial rapist who gets his victims into car accidents and then poses as an EMT so he can overpower and assault them.
He was portrayed by Lucas Van Engen.
Early life[]
Young worked for New York City's Department of Weights and Measures and was married to his wife Shari for 25 years. Eventually, however, Shari fell out of love with him and began an affair, eventually throwing Young out of their house.
Determined to get revenge against both the man who cuckolded him and the entire female gender, Young stole an ID badge and uniform belonging to her lover, EMT George Kalazakis, used them to commandeer his ambulance, and went on a rape spree. He employed his talent for electronics to tamper with traffic lights to get women into traffic accidents; then, posing as an EMT, he would take them into the van and rape them while they were helpless in the backseat.
"Intersections"[]
Young rapes his latest victim, Emma Dunn, after causing her and her fiancé Josh Wagner to crash into drunk driver Rob Malone. Wagner tries to save her but collapses before he can reach the ambulance, giving Young enough time to get Dunn out of the van and drive away. He also steals her engagement ring and gives it to Shari as an "upgrade" of the one he gave her 25 years earlier, a gift that fails to impress her.
Meanwhile, the NYPD's Special Victims Unit investigate Dunn's rape, with Captain Olivia Benson and Detectives Fin Tutuola, Joe Velasco, Grace Muncy, and Terry Bruno questioning her, Wagner, and Malone. Wagner gives them a description of the ID photo on the rapist's badge, which leads them to arrest Kalazakis.
Kalazakis refuses to say where he was at time of the rape, but his wife says that he could not have done it because her brother, a private investigator, had photographic evidence of him cheating on her at the time that the rape was committed. Benson realizes that the rapist must have stolen the badge and the ambulance.
The following day, Young rapes another woman, Danielle Thomas, using the same M.O. A passerby scares him away before can finish, however, which leaves him unsatisfied. He engineers yet another car accident hours later, this time killing several people. When he tries to rape his intended victim, however, she shoots him with a taser, causing him to run off, screaming in pain. By the time he has collected himself, however, the SVU team has arrived on the scene.
Panicked, Young grabs a woman and puts a knife to her throat, threatening to kill her unless the police listen to his demands. Benson plays along and asks him what he wants; Young demands to see Shari and for her to apologize for cheating on him, promising to let his hostage go if his demands are met. Valsco and Grace Muncy find Shari and get her to talk to Young, telling her to lie and say that she still loves him. Shari insincerely promises Young that she will leave her lover and come back to him if he lets his hostage go. Young sobs that he still loves Shari and lets the woman go, and the uniformed police assisting SVU arrest him.
At the end of the episode, Assistant District Attorney Dominick Carisi Jr. tells Benson that he has more than enough evidence to prove that Young is guilty of multiple counts of rape and murder and will make sure that he goes to prison for the rest of his life.
