New Appear Upward Police & Club Svu “Terrorized” Recap & Review

It was an activeness packed flavor eighteen premiere of Law & Order SVU amongst a story that involved terrorism, rape, locked phones, too feuding inward the workplace. It gave viewers plenty to absorb too to verbalise about.

Benson is withal stinging over the decease of Sergeant Mike Dodds too the guilt is weighing heavy on her. Her boss, Chief Dodds, is clearly blaming her for his son’s death, too Benson thinks he’s non incorrect inward doing so. Benson seems to live trying to displace on from the ordeal, but Dodds clearly has a long way to go. During an declaration virtually the administration they should convey amongst the case, Dodds explodes amongst anger too blurts out his truthful feelings that he blames Benson for his son’s death. After the words come upwards out of his mouth, he seems to regret them. Maybe hearing too realizing the ugliness of his ain words is his outset pace inward credence too forgiveness?

Benson has e'er taken her task seriously, including her advocacy for the victims. One has to interrogation if she took it a petty equally good far inward this case. Did Benson brand an error past times interjecting herself inward proving the defense’s allegation of rape? Benson’s continuing to pursue the illustration later existence told non to could create a rift betwixt her too the DA’s utilisation too amongst her superiors at One PP. The interrogation that is asked throughout the episode: Is Ana a victim or is she playing them? Benson entirely sees Ana equally a victim, piece Barba too Chief Dodds are either highly skeptical or are willing to hold off past times her rape claims too the evidence because of the terror threat too the murders.  I found myself agreeing to a greater extent than amongst Dodds too Barba's approach than I did amongst Benson's on this one. It’s non that I didn’t think Ana was assaulted, but I think it was upwards to Calhoun, non Benson, to evidence this indicate equally component division of her affirmative defense.

It’s unclear to me equally to why Barba was prosecuting the murder illustration equally I thought his focus was particular victims.  Also, it appeared that SVU was running indicate on tracking downwards the terrorists, something I don’t think would tumble out inward the existent world,  considering the amount of weaponry found inward Luka too Ana’s storey too the potential threat to the public.

Did Carisi brand a fault past times taking Armin’s telephone too attempting a telephone phone call upwards to Luka amongst Armin present, allowing Armin to tip off Luka?

Fin is at nowadays non entirely responsible for the comic relief (“Oh, your people came hither on the Mayflower, huh?”) but he also serves equally the muscle, breaking into an storey door using his shoulder. Every fourth dimension I reckon how tardily it is to respite downwards a New York City storey door, I wonder how anyone tin experience condom inward their ain homes.

The human relationship betwixt Benson too Tucker is going strong too they both seem to live really happy amongst how things are progressing. Tucker is at nowadays working for the Conviction Integrity Unit, too I suspect he volition take hold an chance inward the hereafter to operate amongst SVU.

Should Benson take hold taken Noah amongst her to depository fiscal establishment check on the man child inward the common when the telephone call upwards outset came in? It initially sounded similar a uncomplicated illustration of a lost man child but it turned bad quick.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 possible continuity error or an odd scene transition: At the common amongst Noah, Benson was sleeveless when her telephone started ringing; she moves to respond it too is at nowadays wearing a jacket.

All inward all, a smashing start to flavor 18!

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 adult woman is walking inward a common amongst a immature boy. As the man child runs off toward a grouping of people amongst balloons, the adult woman is hitting past times a bicyclist. The man child is drawn inward past times the balloons too does non reckon this.

Meanwhile, inward some other park, Benson is playing amongst Noah, spinning him around, commenting that he wants her to wing him similar the bird they took to Paris. He laughs too she puts him downwards too equally he runs off to play, Benson takes the final gulp of her coffer too and thus pitches the loving cup inward a trash bin. She notices that the loving cup is at nowadays resting on the top of a paper which features a large photograph of the slain Sergeant Mike Dodds. She looks away too her telephone rings too she moves to respond it. It is Carisi too she asks him what’s up. She tells him she volition convey attention of it, adding she is inward the common right at nowadays amongst Noah. She comments “Playground at 84 Street, Office Nolan? Got it.” She tells Noah to come upwards on.

Later, at that playground, Benson watches a immature man child playing, too Office Nolan explains he found the youngster virtually xx minutes ago. (It is Ali, the man child who was separated from his caretaker when she was hitting past times the bike.) The man child didn’t seem to speak English linguistic communication too his sergeant told him to telephone call upwards SVU. She tells him she has it from here. Benson approaches the man child playing inward a sandbox too cheerfully says she is Olivia too introduces Noah. She asks where is his mommy, asking if she came to the common amongst him, or perchance his daddy, grandma, or nanny. The man child begins to speak inward some other language, hitting his pile of sand too maxim “boom!” Olivia repeats “boom!” too laughs, trying to brand a connectedness amongst the boy. She asks if his mamma or dadda is her, pointing around the park. The man child says nothing, and, motioning. she too thus asks the man child to come upwards amongst her too she volition aid him divulge his mamma too dadda. The man child moves dorsum too reaches for a backpack, pulling out a gun. Benson, stunned, moves Noah behind her, telling him to instruct down. Trying to live calm, she asks the man child to pose it down, too when Officer Nolan moves inward closer amongst his gun drawn, Benson tells Nolan it is okay, she has this. She calls out to the watching crowd that she has this, and, raising her hands too showing her badge, she asks them to pace back. As the crowd moves away, the man child raises his gun, looking equally if he is aiming for Benson. She tells the man child it is okay too to look, dropping her badge, maxim she is non going to wound him. She asks him to pose it down, trying to explicate it is okay too she is non going to wound him. The man child appears to live taking aim. Benson, trying to speak inward a calm too reassuring voice, moves inward closer to the boy, grabbing the gun too disarming it. She breathes heavily equally she relaxes too Officer Nolan moves inward too takes the weapon. Benson moves towards Ali too and thus tries to reassure Noah, hugging him too telling him it is okay.

Later, at the infirmary where the man child has been taken, Benson speaks amongst medico Wilder who says the man child is fine, he has a few bruises but at that spot is no sign of sexual abuse. She adds at that spot are some signs of psychological trauma. He said a few words inward English linguistic communication but his native linguistic communication may live Russian or eastern European. Benson explains social services is trying to locate a translator too they are trying to rails downwards whatever family. Wilder asks virtually the loaded gun, maxim he is lucky to live alive. Carisi, Rollins, too Fin arrive. Carisi explains the adult woman inward the bike accident didn’t brand it, too Rollins adds that the police force found witnesses inward the common who pose her too the man child together. The adult woman is Rahima Babic, but they can’t constitute her human relationship amongst the boy. Fin states the Glock is unregistered, they are tracking the series number. When Rollins asks if they should plough this over to the precinct, Benson replies she wants to maintain it for at nowadays – the youngster got the gun from somebody. She tells them to run prints, touching on DNA, too instruct to Rahima’s address too reckon what they tin find.

The detectives instruct inward at the storey of Rahima Babic, 25-72 18th Street inward Astoria Queens on Wednesday, July 27. Carisi too Rollins divulge no other weapons too  but reckon signs the youngster was staying there.  Fin is checking amongst the neighbors. Rollins finds luggage which has the boy’s call equally Ali amongst a photograph of a adult woman who is probable his mother. There is a detailed schedule of what to produce amongst Ali. There was a annotation for the man child where the author - presumably his woman parent -  tells Rahima to tell Ali that no affair what happens, she loves him to a greater extent than than anything inward the world. Carisi thinks it sounds similar she did non know when too if she was coming back. Fin arrives amongst a vecino = Brian O’Malley – too he knows Mrs. Babic too has also seen the adult woman inward the photo. He assumed Babic was a relation too at that spot was a lot of arguing. When he says at that spot is e'er something amongst these people, When Fin questions “these people?” Brian answers, :Immigrants.” Fin comments, “Oh, too your people came hither on the Mayflower, huh?” Rollins explains they demand to divulge the boy’s mother, too he thinks she worked equally a waitress but doesn’t know where. As Brian leaves, Rollins notices the leftovers inward the refrigerator are all from the same identify – a diner, The Parthenon.

Later, at the Parthenon Diner at 29-23 30th Avenue inward Astoria, Queens on Wednesday. July 27, Carisi, amongst Rollins, speak amongst the director who identifies the adult woman equally Ana Kapic, ane of his waitresses. She hasn’t shown upwards for 3 days, maxim she comes too goes. He didn’t know she had a son, calling him a poor thing, explaining that a lot of times Ana would demo upwards amongst a dark optic or bruises, he guesses from a boyfriend. Carisi asks for her address too telephone number, too the director has it. He asks if she is inward trouble, too Rollins says yes, he tin say that.

Afterwards, Carisi too Rollins are at the address – 2792 Broadway - too it is for Crown Services, a repair business,  and at that spot is no residence there. The store possessor does non recognize Ana or her name. Her telephone looks similar a burner. Carisi summarizes they take hold a faux address, a burner cell, too a man child amongst a loaded gun, too a goodbye annotation from the mother; he thinks she is either involved amongst a dealer or is a prostitute. Rollins wonders if her boy is amend off amongst social services. Carisi thinks the annotation she left agency she loves her son, too Rollins comments dryly that sometimes that is non enough.

Outside the precinct, Benson speaks amongst Tucker, telling him it has been 10 hours too they are no closer to finding the boy’s parents. She says she feels so…Tucker finishes the line, maxim “Responsible? Because you lot found him?” He reminds her Ali held a loaded gun on her too she says he didn’t know what he was doing. Tucker thinks this is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than dangerous. Benson gets misty eyed too says all she could think virtually was Noah, too Tucker stops her, asking if she is alright. But she says it is okay, too enquire they move on to walk on, she comments virtually Tucker’s novel task at the Conviction Integrity Unit, maxim it is impressive. He thinks it could live interesting working amongst the DA’s office, kicking the tires on cases, similar an in-house innocence project. Benson gets a telephone phone call upwards too earlier she answers it, she tells Tucker it sounds great. She tells the caller she is on her way up, too she tells Tucker that Fin has a lead. She gives him a peck on the depository fiscal establishment check too says bye, racing upwards the stairs. Tucker sighs.

As Benson walks into SVU, she sees Chief Dodds. She stops too says hi, she didn’t know he was coming in. He comments that it is Comstat crap too he but had a few questions. Benson says she is sorry, she wasn’t aware at that spot was a meeting. He counters it is because he didn’t tell her; they take hold things nether command too at that spot is no demand to bother her amongst a bunch of administrative nonsense. She stammers too says she gets it, but equally a Lieutenant, it is likely important…Dodds cuts her off too stares. Saying coldly that he said they’ve got it nether control,  Benson smiles uncomfortably too says, “Okay… you’re the boss.” He looks over to her right, too and thus walks away, maxim nothing. Benson turns to where Dodds was looking too sees a large photograph of Sergeant Mike Dodds that was posted at that spot inward memoriam. She looks dorsum towards where Chief Dodds had been standing amongst a hold off of realization for his mutual frigidness attitude.

Benson is too thus briefed past times the detectives inward the squad room. Fin mentions that the lab picked upwards a partial impress off the Glock, a tally for Luka Terzik. Carisi adds he is 26, born inward New York, too was arrested inward 2014 for possession but the charges were dropped. Benson asks if he was related to the bike victim Ana or the petty boy, too Carisi comments at that spot is a resemblance, he could live the kid’s father. Rollins states all they know on Ana is that she is a Bosnian national, hither on a educatee visa. They are trying to rails downwards her parents too they are withal waiting on the boy’s DNA. Benson asks if they take hold a final known for Luka, too Carisi replies yes, an storey inward Queens. Benson comments she is non going to handgrip her breath, but to convey a look. Fin states they take hold it covered, but Benson says no, she wants to verbalise to this guy herself too enquire him why his Glock was inward the backpack of a four-year-old.

At the storey of Luka Terzik at 34-39 35th Street inward Astoria, Queens on Wednesday, July 27, Benson is at that spot amongst the detectives. When at that spot is no respond at the door, Carisi comments that at that spot is an abandoned youngster too the woman parent is missing, too Rollins adds it sounds similar exigent circumstances. Benson tells Fin to instruct ahead, too he pushes the door inward amongst his shoulder, announcing “NYPD!” equally he does so. Carisi divulge a photograph indicating Luka too Ali may live together too Ali is their son, too a laptop has the difficult drive removed. It appears they left inward a hurry. Fin finds a room filled amongst guns too bomb materials. Benson tells them non to touching on anything There is writing inward Arabic. Benson tells them to telephone call upwards ESU, Joint Terrorism, too the bomb squad.

Back at SVU, Benson confers amongst Dodds, maxim Luka is an American citizen too Ana is a legal immigrant from Bosnia. Neither is on the scout listing or has whatever connectedness to radical groups. When Dodds asks if they are interrogating the kid, Benson reminds him he is 4 years erstwhile too doesn’t speak whatever English. Dodds tells her to instruct a translator; the man child mightiness know something. She says Joint Terrorism is violent apart the storey too the Feds are already here. The SVU squad room is total of people. Dodds calls for all of them to hear up, explaining the situation, maxim they take hold ground to believe Luka too Ana are planning a volume casualty event. They take hold no ideas of potential targets, Benson adds they take hold their photos out to all media outlets, every precinct inward the metropolis equally good equally outer boroughs. NYPD volition coordinate amongst JTTF, state police, too the FBI, adding they are all inward on this amongst around the clock shifts until the crisis is resolved. After this, Dodds comments that he assumes they are talking to anyone too everyone who mightiness know what they are planning, too Benson explains they are interviewing Ana’s co-workers, her neighbors, too trying to locate whatever household unit of measurement too connectedness overseas. Carisi approaches amongst Rollins an Fin, maxim they caught a break. Rollins says they tracked downwards the human who has been roofing the rent of Terzik’s apartment; it is Armin Sidran. Fin adds he is non inward the organization or on whatever scout list. Rollins shows Benson that the address on the depository fiscal establishment check is the Midtown utilisation of an insurance company. Dodds tells them to instruct NOW.

Later, at Manhattan Equity Insurance at 268 West 45th Street on Thursday, July 28, the detectives, amongst total backup, arrive. They enters Armin’s utilisation too Carisi pushes him to the wall to frisk him too Fin, shouting, asks if Armin knows Luka. Armin says he is his one-half brother. Carisi asks, also shouting, if he pays his rent too Armin admits yes, it is because Luka is broke too needs help. He identifies Luka from a photograph too says Ana is Luka’s fiancée. He does non know where they are. Carisi grabs Armin’s telephone too when Luka refuses to telephone call upwards Luka, Carisi tries to brand the telephone call upwards himself from the records of his final call. As Carisi connect the call, Armin shouts out to Luka too Carisi yells to Luka non to hang up, maxim they tin aid him, but tell them where he is. But it is equally good late. Carisi gives the telephone to someone too tells him to triangulate the location of the final call. As they convey him away, Armin says his blood brother is innocent too he wants a lawyer.

Afterwards, Carisi too Rollins are at the location where the telephone was found inward a dumpster; the telephone is cracked too it is locked. Rollins comments that TARU says the number Carisi called Luka on is registered to Armin. Carisi says that Armin inward paying Luka’s rent too his telephone bills, wondering what else. Rollins replies that Armin is sticking to the political party line that his blood brother is a pitiful buffoon too has no thought why the weapons were inward the apartment. Carisi concludes that Luka realizes it is non his blood brother calling, he dumps the telephone too trashes it, he is trying to shroud evidence, but similar his reckoner inward his storey inward Queens. Rollins says they give the telephone to TARU but Carisi says they volition non live able to unlock it without a transcend code. Only the fellowship tin decrypt it. Rollins asks what produce they produce now? Carisi says, “Call Barba.”

At the chambers of Judge Stephen Kerry at New York Supreme Court on Thursday, July 28, Barba explains to Judge Kerry they are non investigating something that already happened, they are investigating something that is virtually to happen. They tin forestall it. He adds that these people stand upwards for an imminent threat to populace security too he needs an emergency courtroom monastic tell to compel the manufacturer of the telephone to unlock it immediately. Judge Kerry counters that this is a highly odd request; first, Barba needs to instruct an monastic tell to gain access to the personal information. Barba interjects at that spot isn’t fourth dimension for whatever of that. The justice asks that at that spot are no other agency to unlock the phone, too Barba says no; the registered possessor of the telephone is inward FBI custody too isn’t cooperating. His brother, who was ane time inward possession of the telephone is at large too zero has been backed upwards to the cloud. The justice asks if Barba believes that this telephone is the entirely identify this evidence exists, too Barba replies yes. The judge, inward a scolding voice, says Barba’s utilisation has been downwards this route before. Barba admits his but says at that spot are hundreds of locked phones awaiting decryption. The justice states these are all cases amongst courtroom orders too all cases are on appeal past times the manufacturers. Barba explains that he understands but this is different; he believes the fellowship is trying to protect its seat on privacy for PR reasons but, given these unique circumstances, if courtroom ordered, they mightiness cooperate. The justice pauses, too thus says he volition grant the order, too Barba thank you lot him too apace stands to leave. The justice adds, “Godspeed getting the fellowship to comply.” Barba sighs too exits.

Back at SVU, Benson updates Dodds virtually the justice granting the order. The manufacturer is non cooperating. When she explains they are trying, Dodds tells her to attempt harder. She states they take hold Luka’s location at 11:20 when he got the telephone call upwards from his brother’s phone, they implemented a grid search block past times block inward the surrounding area. Fin announces they take hold something; Carisi says that facial recognition got Ana too Luka on a traffic cam xx minutes ago. Rollins says they were entering Central Park on the W side at 72nd Street. Dodds worries they are thousands of people inward the common too tells them to depository fiscal establishment check for concerts, plays, or events. They race off.

In the park, an lawsuit is inward progress too Luka too Ana are there. The SVU squad amongst a huge dorsum upwards arrives at the park. An off duty officeholder sees Luka is carrying a gun too the officeholder moves to his gun, his badge showing, maxim to Luka “excuse me.” Luka grabs his gun too shoots the officer. The crowd screams too disperses too Luka continues to shoot others. Benson too the squad hear the gunshots too race to the location. Luka continues to forcefulness out equally he flees amongst Ana. Benson yells for the crowd to remain down. They know Luka too Ana take hold gone upwards nearby stairs. Luka comes out amongst his gun drawn too is shot past times a police force sniper. Benson races upwards the stairs amongst the detective too Ana is there, who begs them non to shoot too to aid her.

At the hospital, Dodds explains to Benson at that spot is ane dead too 4 wounded, 2 critical. Tom Flannery, NYPD officer, was DOA. Special Agent Dan Conley arrives too says Ana isn’t talking, all she cares virtually is her boy too since Benson found the youngster inward the park, he thought Benson could speak to her advertizing permit her know the man child is condom too perchance she volition opened upwards up. Benson agrees.

At the Metropolitan Correctional Center on Thursday, July 28, Benson explains to Ana virtually her boy too the gun. Ana left him amongst her Aunt, Rahima. Benson explains that Rahima had an accident too is dead. Ana begs to reckon Ali but Conley thinks this tin live arranged but presses for details on who else was involved too asks if at that spot are other targets. But Counselor Rita Calhoun enters too tells Ana non to say some other word. Benson asks Calhoun that she is representing terrorists, too Calhoun reminds Benson it is a suspected terrorist too everyone is entitled to a defense. Conley says she is non going anyway too Calhoun asks that he wants to deny her client her right to counsel? Benson states they demand to know if other lives are at stake, too Calhoun says she wants to verbalise to Ana lone too she understands the gravity of the situation, trust her. Benson too Conley leave of absence the room.

Back at SVU, Benson asks if they’ve found anything yet too Rollins says non yet. Benson also has non found much; Calhoun claims that Ana was inward the dark too but along for the ride. The Feds don’t know a lot, too when Conley arrives, Benson asks if he has anything. He says the blood brother of the shooter – Armin - is connected to a controversial mosque inward Queens. They had to permit him go; Carisi correctly concludes Armin is to a greater extent than valuable on the street. Conley explains it gives them a amend adventure to pick upwards some chatter. He knows Calhoun trusts Benson too he asks that Benson convey some other run at Ana tomorrow, later they formally indict her on murder too terrorism charges. Dodds approaches too says it is equally good late; the DA’s utilisation filed charges 10 minutes ago. Conley says inward all due respect...but Dodds tells him to relieve the phony deference, the DOA is NYPD, too Dodds knew Tom Flannery really well. Dodds walks off too Benson follows him.

Meanwhile, Barba is exterior the courthouse, swarmed past times reporters shouting questions. He states that the investigation is on-going too the NYPD, FBI, too JTTF are working together to collect data too right at nowadays all they know is that a decorated NYC officeholder was killed too 4 other citizen were shot too critically wounded. Regardless of the defendant’s motivation too her affiliations, what this adult woman did is called murder inward the State of New York.

At arraignment courtroom component division xi on Thursday, July 28, Ana is arraigned for ane count of murder too 4 counts attempted murder. Benson watches from the gallery. Calhoun says Ana pleads non guilty. Barba requests remand but Calhoun thinks she should live released on her ain recognizance. The justice is incredulous too asks why. Calhoun says Ana is a victim too says she was raped too tortured hours earlier the lawsuit past times her fiancé too his blood brother too she was non at the criminal offense scene nether her ain gratuitous will. Calhoun says if Ana did non cooperate, she herself would take hold been murdered.

Back at SVU, Benson steps out of the lift amongst Barba, who argues they take hold Ana at the scene too she had an AR15 around her shoulder too the shooter was 5 feet away. He can’t believe that somehow she is the victim. Benson asks if he thinks Calhoun is making this up, too Barba thinks she is desperately looking for a defense. Carisi walks upwards amongst an affidavit from Ana stating that Luka too Armin repeatedly raped her for the final 5 years. Barba thinks that Calhoun is roofing her tracks too laying tape too it hateful nothing. but Benson thinks it is a disclosure too it agency something. She adds that but because she is a murder accused doesn’t hateful she is non a rape victim. Barba testily says Benson is playing to the defence too the to a greater extent than she investigates this, the to a greater extent than she legitimizes Ana’s story. She asks Barba if he is telling her to ignore it, too Barba tells her to live careful, this illustration is equally good large too equally good important. He adds that given what has been happening lately, citing San Bernardino too Orlando, Dallas too France, maxim people are fed up. When Benson says she understands that, Barba cuts her off too says Ana has to instruct downwards – difficult – no affair how heartbreaking or tragic her story mightiness be; right or wrong, that’s but how it is. Benson counters that he may live right, but no affair how it is, she would withal similar to speak amongst Ana. Barba too Benson stare at each other.

Later, Benson speaks amongst Ana amongst Calhoun present. Ana explains that she came hither half-dozen years agone too wanted to live a nurse. She lived amongst the aunt inward Queens too met Luka too he was prissy too she fell inward love. But too thus things changed too he changed. He was angry all the fourth dimension too hated everyone too and thus he started to hitting her. He made her take hold sexual practice fifty-fifty if she didn’t desire to, too amongst her brother, together. This lasted for years. She told no one, she was equally good afraid, they said they would kill her too she would never reckon her boy ane time to a greater extent than too she would expire a whore equally they had video. They would brand it hold off similar she was having fun too shipping it to her family. They final assaulted her 2 mornings ago, early, it was withal dark. She remembers hearing the garbage truck exterior too remembers the audio of the truck too focused on that. Ana shows the bruises on her body. She hitting Armin inward the human face too he too Luka got mad thus they shell her amongst their belts. She wanted to produce something, to telephone call upwards the police, but she was afraid for herself too Ali too didn’t desire anyone else to die. She asks that they delight forgive her, too she begins to sob. As Ana sobs, Benson tells Calhoun she wants to produce a rape kit too Calhoun agrees.

Later, Benson is inward Barba’s utilisation amongst Dodds too says the rape kit confirms vaginal too anal intercourse too tearing, at that spot was semen too they are running the DNA. Benson says she was brutalized, too Dodds says that doesn’t hateful she didn’t kill Flannery too that college kid. He explains he got a text virtually Sophie Lewis, 21. Barba agrees amongst Dodds, stating that the rape claim has zero to produce amongst the criminal charges. It tin brand her to a greater extent than sympathetic inward the eyes of the jury too heighten the interrogation if she actually was a willing participant. Dodds tells Benson to pose the brakes on the rape investigation for at nowadays until the trial is over too permit the defence claim rape all they want. Testily, Benson says she understands at that spot is something bigger hither too she gets it but she is non certain that should matter. Dodds looks at her amongst disbelief too asks if she is serious. She forcefully says that amongst all due respect, she can’t non produce this, she is trying to produce her job. Dodds shouts that amongst all due respect, doing her task terms his boy his life. Benson is stunned too Dodds forthwith gets a hold off of regret on his face. He begins to stammer, sounding similar he didn’t hateful this, too he apace leaves Barba’s office. Benson stands at that spot inward shock, too Barba says he didn’t hateful it. Benson states "Sure he did. He’s non incorrect either.” Barba tells her non to produce that. Benson comments she knows they desire someone to pay for what happened, but that mortal is non Ana. Barba tells her she is wrong. Benson emphatically says Ana was beaten too raped less than 48 hours earlier the attack. Barba argues it is irrelevant; she is but equally guilty equally Luka. Rape or no rape, she is a killer too that is what he going to tell the jury. Benson gets a message too tells Barba that the deoxyribonucleic acid came dorsum on Ali; the begetter is Armin, which hateful he has paternal rights, Barba starts to say he understands, but Benson cuts him off too says “You understand? If Ana is going to prison, right, if the Feds can’t come upwards up amongst a illustration against Armin, too thus that monster is gonna instruct custody of that boy.” Benson puts on her jacket to leave of absence too Barba asks where she is going. She angrily says she is going to investigate a illustration everyone wants her to ignore. She slams the door.

Later, Benson, amongst Rollins, has Armin inward SVU interrogation too he denies having sexual practice amongst Ana. But when they human face upwards him amongst the fact that he is Ali’s biological father, he admits he had sexual practice amongst Ana a few times. He says she is a whore, too when Benson says that is non a prissy word, he says Ana is non a prissy woman. He claims she is a manipulator too a user too she ruined his brother’s life too turned him into a killer, a radical. He states he wasn’t at Luka’s 2 mornings agone too he did non take hold sexual practice amongst her. They refer the bruises too the scars on her too when Rollins asks if that was the belt he used on Ana, Armin says he wants a lawyer. Benson tells him okay but that he is going down, amongst or without a lawyer. Armin claims Ana is a terrorist too a tramp, asking if they think anyone cares virtually her. Benson says she does too thus does Rollins, too trust her, that is enough.

At Motions Court component division xi on Monday, August 1, Barba argues that Ana’s claims of the sexual laid on are legally too logically irrelevant to her culpability to the murder of Tom Flannery too Sophie Lewis. He adds the that introduction of this type of unsubstantiated, extraneous too salacious evidence is to a greater extent than prejudicial than probative too it should live excluded. Calhoun argues that Ana was repeatedly beaten, raped too tortured over a menstruum of 5 years too was a prisoner inward her ain home, unable to practise her ain gratuitous volition or personal autonomy for fearfulness of losing her boy too her life. As such she was acting nether extreme duress too they volition utilisation for an affirmative defense. Judge Hayes does non desire to plough her murder illustration into a rape trial too she can’t but convey Ana’s give-and-take for it. Calhoun says she understands she needs the give-and-take of someone objective too knowledgeable, similar Benson. Barba looks annoyed.

Later, amongst Benson on the stand, she testifies that the allegations are credible too thinks beyond a dubiety that Ana is a victim of a vicious too forceful sexual assault. Barba shakes his caput at her.

Back at SVU, when Benson returns, Dodds asks if she is a cop or a defence lawyer. Benson explains she did what she thought was right. He asks if she is aware their goal is to win this case, too she says she is, asking what did he desire her to do, perjure herself? Dodds states he but got done talking to the Chief, the DA, too the Mayor too they are livid too already looking for a caput to serve upwards on a shiny silverish platter. He shouts that they stuck their cervix out amongst the Feds but to instruct this case. Losing is non an option, thus he tells her to delight pretend she is on their side, non theirs. He leaves her utilisation too equally Benson shakes her head, Barba walks inward too Benson asks if he is looking for a create produce too. He explains he understands what she is doing too it is admirable – she says “But” – too Barba finishes, maxim it is stupid, self-centered, idealistic. Benson replies that rape is rape, they don’t instruct to invent their victims or their perps. They hear the evidence too they investigate, unless of course of study you lot are a Muslim adult woman accused of murder too and thus nosotros but throw you lot nether the patriotic omnibus too live their merry lives. Barba explains he came hither to tell her the justice ruled inward their favor, but Benson corrects him, maxim non “our” favor but Barba’s favor. Barba states that either way, the rape testimony is non coming in. He says similar he keeps telling her, this illustration is different. He walks out, leaving Benson sitting at her desk to think virtually it.

At some other time, Benson approaches Calhoun on a street too Benson  tells Calhoun she volition non win, the illustration is equally good of import to equally good many people. Calhoun asks if she is maxim the create is in, but Benson says it is fourth dimension to cutting a bargain for Ana’s sake. She adds that Barba volition hear today, now.
