Biography[]
Early Life[]
Burlock is a serial rapist who has spent more than half his life in prison. In 1970, he kidnapped and raped Joan Arliss, who got pregnant from the rape and gave birth to Vivian Arliss. Shortly afterward, he was arrested and convicted of multiple rapes, and spent thirty years in prison. In the early 2000s, he raped and tortured his then-cellmate Jason Gambel into complete obedience, until he was paroled in 2010. After being released, he tracked Gambel down and forced him to let him live in his basement, where he would kidnap, rape, and murder women.
"Trophy"[]
When Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler of the NYPD's Special Victims Unit investigate the case of a woman who was raped, murdered, and left in a laundry facility, they find the car used to transport the body and trace it to Gambel. When Gambel, who suffers from PTSD because of what Burlock did to him, opens fire on the detectives, they arrest him for rape and murder, believing him to be the killer; they are unaware that Burlock forced him to dump the victim's body after he raped and murdered her. He says that he has never killed anyone and begs them not to send him back to prison.
They realize that Gambel is innocent, however, when a wedding ring recovered from his house turns out to be connected to a rape that took place before he was even born. Deducing that Gambel is terrified to go back to prison because he was abused by a cellmate, they research his prison records and learn that shared a cell with Burlock.
Benson and Stabler find out that Burlock stole Gambel's credit card and is at that very moment using it to buy drinks and lap dances at a strip club. They arrest him, but he refuses to confess, and is ultimately released. On his way out, he runs into Vivian Arliss, his biological daughter from the victim whose wedding ring he stole, and her young son Calvin; when Vivian sees Burlock trying to talk to Calvin, she attacks him. Shortly afterward, Vivian's lover Sarah Hoyt shoots Burlock in the chest, killing him.
