New Facial Expression Upward Constabulary & Lodge Svu “Net Worth” Recap & Review

“Net Worth” was an first-class episode that was helped along past times some really capable invitee stars. Tate Donovan was a master copy at beingness the smug, entitled billionaire; Missy Peregrym was believable every bit the victim; Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Bridges did good every bit Zoe’s jerk of a boss.  “Repeat offender” Kevin O’Rourke was also a overnice add-on every bit a CEO who was quick to sell out i of his employees to distance himself from the looming negative press. The invitee cast was a huge plus to telling a credible story.

The episode also gave covert fourth dimension everyone inwards the principal cast, all having a share to play inwards bringing the example to a close. Mind you, nosotros never saw the verdict, but every indication was that billionaire Eli Colton was found guilty.

The episode was written past times SVU showrunner Rick Eid as well as Jeffrey Baker, as well as the dialog was crisp as well as realistic. There were also plenty of on location scenes which gave the episode much visual interest. When I instruct the feeling that I am a wing on the wall watching the story unfold inwards forepart of me, that’s a sign of a solid episode.

There was a quick reference to Fin taking the Sergeant's exam, but nosotros didn't instruct whatsoever response on whether he passed it.

Some questions were on my hear after watching "Net Worth." If you lot were a victim of rape or sexual laid on presented amongst a huge, life-changing amount of cash inwards central for your silence, would you lot select it? Is testifying ever a crucial share of the healing procedure every bit Benson said? Or, is it closer to what Barba suggested;  that mayhap the project as well as coin would assist Zoe heal as well as give her closure? Maybe the other victim, Kate, couldn’t locomote made happy amongst the coin she got for her silence, but mayhap Zoe would take away hold been. Zoe is right, it was her choice to brand as well as ultimately she did plow downward the offer, but who knows, mayhap she would take away hold been simply every bit happy amongst the money. I would take away hold felt meliorate nearly Benson’s approach if she would take away hold said that past times Zoe non testifying, Eli would instruct away amongst it and in that location could locomote other victims inwards the future (the error that Kate made). But Benson made it all nearly what she thinks is the correct way to heal.  I am inwards no way condoning a payoff,  only that Benson has a habit of making it audio similar testifying volition brand things all meliorate for a victim.

I am surprised that they were able to work the recordings from the office. I know that the CEO gave them the videos but Zoe wasn’t aware that everything inwards the purpose was beingness recorded. I am non certain how the surveillance laws operate inwards New York state, but I would think that employees demand to locomote notified when they are beingness visually monitored as well as recorded, every bit good every bit visitors coming to the office. If the cameras were visible, that could serve every bit notification but it sounds similar the employees had no knowledge the cameras existed. From my ain personal experience, when employee telephone calls were monitored, nosotros had to notify them this could hand off as well as a disclaimer had to locomote placed on all incoming calls that they likewise could locomote monitored. Clearly the recording helped Zoe but they cost Roger his job. I wonder if he would take away hold grounds to sue?

Roger thinks it volition locomote a dwelling family run, as well as Eli says it meliorate be, amongst the fees he is paying. Roger counters that cypher goodness comes inexpensive – non on Wall Street. Elli tells Roger he appreciates his difficult operate as well as tells Zoe he appreciates her difficult work. She cheers him. He adds that Roger volition select the credit but knows she found the bargain as well as laid the whole thing inwards motion, as well as he cheers her again.

Later, at a individual political party at Eli’s penthouse, Eli offers Zoe some really expensive vino but she declines, maxim non to waste materials something similar that on her, she has an unsophisticated palate.

He laughs as well as kisses her on the cheek as well as walks off. Zoe appears stunned.

Back at SVU, Carisi enquire Fin if in that location has been whatsoever word, as well as Fin says no, halt asking. Carisi counters that “Sergeant Tutuola” has a overnice band to it. Carisi asks someone walking past times what is a 10 alphabetic lineament word for bad luck. Benson, also walking nearby, pipes upwardly as well as says “misfortune.” Benson sees an officer, who has entered the SVU amongst Zoe. She asks Zoe if she tin assist her, as well as Zoe replies yes, she needs to speak amongst a detective. Benson introduces herself as well as suggests they pace into her office. She asks how tin she assist her, as well as Zoe explains she was raped. Benson walks her into her purpose as well as says she is really sorry to hear that. Zoe comments she does non know how this works, as well as Benson explains no worries, they volition select this i pace at a time. Benson asks if she has whatsoever thought who did this to her, as well as Zoe says yes, as well as therefore sees a paper on Benson’s desk amongst the headline “ The King Strikes Again“ amongst a photograph of Eli on the cover, as well as says, “Him.” Benson, surprised, says, “Eli Colton” as well as Zoe replies “Yeah. The King of Wall Street.”

In the interview room amongst Benson, Zoe explains that she was at a political party at Eli’s penthouse, they had simply closed the deal. She industrial plant inwards investment bank, Cromwell Moore, as well as Eli’s theater is their biggest client. He invited a bunch of people dorsum to his floor after the dinner. They were celebrating his latest acquisition. She begins to outcry as well as adds that she ended upwardly inwards his bedroom; he wanted to exhibit her his scout collection. He kissed her as well as she did osculation him back, they were having fun. H5N1 few minutes afterward he tried to select her wearing clothing off as well as she told him she did non desire to take away hold gender activity but he threw her downward on the bed as well as she tried difficult to force him off as well as she screamed but he simply covered her mouth. She remembers staring at his iv meg dollar scout on the nightstand. She watched the mitt instruct roughly as well as roughly until it was over. When it was over, he winked at her as well as said he hoped she had simply every bit much fun every bit he did. Then he jumped inwards the shower. This was 3:05 AM. When Benson asks if she told anybody what happened, Zoe states she told her boss, Roger, this morning, as well as he told her to think it over. Benson pauses as well as asks, “think it over?” Zoe states his exact words were “Be careful, it’s never slow to kill the king.”

At Cromwell Moore at 458 Fifth Avenue on Tuesday. March 21, Benson as well as Fin speak amongst Roger who seems surprised Zoe said she was raped. Benson says she is confused every bit Zoe said she told him that this morning. He says she never said rape, he thought she was upset as well as regretful. He does non recall her exact words but she said things got weird betwixt her as well as Eli as well as he was aggressive. In all honesty, he thinks she was to a greater extent than worried nearly appearances as well as didn’t desire people talking nearly what happened. He didn’t realize…if he knew she had been raped he would take away hold called them. Dan Hewitt enters as well as introduced himself every bit the CEO as well as Benson introduces herself as well as Fin. He heard what happened as well as is shocked, but when Benson asks who told him, he deflects as well as says that employees are the most of import property a corporation possesses, as well as they tin count on his total cooperation. Benson says they take away hold to a greater extent than questions, as well as Dan says Roger as well as he demand to speak amongst their full general counsel as well as asks if she understands. She gives him a await as well as and therefore says no she doesn’t. He gives her a faux smiling as well as says they volition locomote inwards impact as well as motions for the door, maxim if in that location is anything he tin do. Benson gives a smiling of frustration as well as says okay.

At Vulture Financial at 1183 Sixth Avenue on Tuesday, March 21, Carisi as well as Rollins instruct far to speak amongst Eli. They explicate they are in that location nearly Zoe as well as he asks what happened. They enquire if he was lone amongst her betwixt 2 as well as 3 AM as well as he tells his assistant Liza to exhibit the detectives out. He says he is sorry but the coming together is over. Rollins explains they are non accusing him, they simply desire to hear his side of the story. Eli states he prefers to take away hold his lawyer nowadays for whatsoever formal word as well as if they desire to verbalise to a greater extent than to contact her as well as they volition fix a meeting. He tells Liza to instruct the lawyer’s card, but Rollins asks that, earlier they go, tin he tell them who was at the floor final night. She adds lawyer or no lawyer, they are evidently going to break out for themselves as well as why brand them waste materials their time? Eli says that is a goodness point, as well as adds he hates inefficiencies, it drives him nuts. He hates people wasting time; action for the sake of activity. He gives them the names of Roger Littrell, Alison Crane, Zoe White, as well as Zoya, a model.

Later. Carisi as well as Rollins speak amongst Zoya who recalls Zoe, maxim she saw her amongst Eli as well as she was really determined. She says Eli is a total player, going from daughter to daughter as well as he doesn’t fifty-fifty give parting gifts. She adds if you lot are going to shag a billionaire, you lot deserve something. Rollins comments that is i way of looking at it. She states she saw Eli as well as Zoe walk upstairs to hid sleeping accommodation tardily at night, mitt inwards hand, as well as she was relieved that she didn’t take away hold to slumber amongst him. She admits that a guy at Cromwell Moore, Roger paid her $20,000 to come upwardly to the political party as well as locomote Eli’s date. Eli didn’t know, Roger said she was a friend from the Hamptons. She was thrilled when Eli went upstairs amongst Zoe, calling it a win-win; she keeps the xx grand as well as didn’t take away hold to slumber amongst him. She adds she met a actually cute guy, Nick.

Later, Carisi as well as Rollins speak amongst some other homo who was at the political party but he saw cypher unusual. He saw Zoe the adjacent hateful solar daytime as well as she seemed distracted. She didn’t call anything happened but says if Zoe says Eli assaulted her, he did. Zoe is smart as well as the most driven adult woman he knows. She grew upwardly middle grade inwards Reading, PA as well as worked her donkey off. She went to Harvard as well as got a Stanford MBA as well as in that location is no way she would peril it to instruct after Eli unless it were true. There is no upside to burning a yoke amongst The King.



Back at SVU, Fin tells Benson that safety footage from Elli’s entrance hall confirms in that location were xx people at the political party as well as therefore far they talked to eleven of them. They all say the same thing: Eli as well as Zoe were flirting as well as having fin but cypher unusual. No photos or videos. Rollins enters as well as states that Zoe’s rape kit came back; internal bruising consistent amongst crude oil gender activity or sexual assault, no semen. She ran it through CODIS as well as in that location are no matches inwards the system. Benson tells Rollins to instruct a warrant for Eli’s DNA. Benson looks upwardly as well as is surprised to reckon Eli instruct far amongst his attorneys as well as he says the sooner they pose this to residuum the better. When Benson asks for a sample of his DNA, Eli’s lawyer says in that location is no need. Eli as well as therefore admits to having gender activity amongst Zoe as well as it was consensual as well as they had a slap-up time. Fin says sarcastically they volition select his word for it, but Eli says they don’t take away hold to. The lawyer hands Benson as well as e-mail that Zoe sent to Eli the hateful solar daytime after the party; their information technology subdivision confirmed it was from Zoe’s purpose computer. Benson reads the e-mail which says, “Glad nosotros closed the deal, ha. Thinking nearly you; Last dark was amazing. XOXO Zoe.” Eli has a smug look, but Benson as well as Rollins don’t await happy.

Later, Zoe is inwards the interview room amongst Benson as well as Fin who are showing her the email. She is shocked as well as denies sending it. They explicate that tech experts exhibit it came from her purpose as well as reckoner as well as when Fin says the digital sign inwards log shows she was in that location at the time, she says she is non inwards her purpose every second. She thinks somebody went into her purpose as well as sent it. She has no thought who as well as says it was non her. Fin suggests they ship i of their people over in that location to await for prints as well as impact deoxyribonucleic acid to reckon who sent that email. Benson reminds Zoe they are on her side, as well as Zoe cheers her. She adds either everybody at operate has no thought what is going on or they are non acknowledging it as well as it is making her experience alone. Benson assure her she is not, she promises.

Later, every bit they walk to the recess room, Fin tells Benson in that location was no luck on the keyboard, in that location were no prints or DNA, thinking somebody wiped it down. Benson states they can’t prove that the e-mail came from anybody else but Zoe. Fin thinks it proves Eli is nervous, if you’re innocent, you’re non going to ship phony emails from the victim’s reckoner trying to instruct ahead of the story. Benson tells him to hold digging. Carisi as well as Rollins approach as well as nation that they spoke to the final of the political party guests as well as nobody saw anything suspicious except cocaine; Eli as well as some of the guests were hitting it pretty hard. Benson tells them to dig into Eli’s past times as well as await at civil suits as well as harassment complaints, whatsoever Wall Street gossip that tin assist constitute a designing of behavior. She suggests they focus on Eli’s enemies because his friends are likewise busy getting rich off him.

Later, Carisi as well as Rollins speaks amongst some other homo who was fired past times Eli as well as he sued but fifty-fifty though he lost, it raised his profile as well as gave him a platform to construct his ain iv billion dollar fund. He states 3 years agone in that location were rumors Eli raped someone as well as i hateful solar daytime the mortal simply disappeared. The adult woman filed a law report.

At the residence of Kate Tompkins at 138 East 19th Street on Wednesday, March 22, Kate tells Benson as well as Fin she recanted. Benson says they are non in that location to justice her as well as they empathize how complex as well as emotional these cases tin be. Fin explains they think Eli did it over again but she can’t verbalise nearly it, she signed a non-disclosure agreement. Fin comments that Eli wrote her a check, as well as when Benson chastises him, he says he is simply talking direct to her. He tells Kate he knows this is her life but they take away hold some other victim who deserves justice. Benson adds they are non bespeak her to instruct populace but they practise demand her help. They are trying to figure out what happened. Kate says Eli said he would destroy her career as well as her life as well as no thing what she tried or the prosecutors, he would take away hold walked. She’d locomote left hanging inwards the wind. Benson says no way. Kate says she worked likewise difficult to blow upwardly her life as well as she cutting the best bargain she could given the mitt she was dealt. The boy of a bitch nevertheless ruined her life, as well as adds sadly that at to the lowest degree she is rich. As Kate motions to exhibit them out, Benson asks i final question: she inquires that Kate said the law study that she as well as Eli had a pre-existing professional person relationship, bespeak how did they know each other.

Later, Rollins as well as Carisi instruct far at Cromwell Moore as well as enquire Roger if he has a second. He replies he is non talking to them but Carisi says this isn’t nearly Zoe, as well as Rollins mentions his sometime associate Kate Tompkins. He remembers Kate – MIT, Wharton MBA. Carisi said she was pretty likewise as well as Rollins adds that Eli raped her iii years agone as well as paid her off. Roger says he doesn’t know anything nearly that, as well as tries to walk off. But Rollins as well as Carisi follows, as well as Rollins mentions he was her supervisor. Roger says he supervises lots of people as well as Rollins says he supervises pretty women who instruct assaulted past times his biggest client. Roger denies having anything to practise amongst this; he makes Eli coin as well as finds undervalued businesses that he tin purchase at a discount as well as sell at a premium. In the process, he gets rich too. He says he doesn’t know anything nearly his individual life. Carisi counters fifty-fifty though Eli raped 2 of his associates. Roger says if Eli did, that is on him. Rollins gets inwards his human face upwardly as well as says, “And you, because you’re the bastard that helped him encompass it up.” Roger looks rattled as well as shuts his purpose door.

Back at SVU, Rollins recaps to Fin as well as Benson what they know. Fin thinks Roger is the i who sent the e-mail from Zoe. Benson says they can’t prove the allegation every bit Kate recanted. Benson tells them to instruct warrants for Eli’s office, computer, as well as apartment. As Rollins as well as Fin disperse, Carisi approaches amongst a paper article nearly “The Fabulous Life of Eli Colton” which includes a photograph of Zoe inwards a bikini as well as listing her every bit a “fabulous friend.” Benson comments Eli’s squad is pulling out every flim-flam inwards the book.

Later, Benson as well as Fin exhibit this to Zoe who says this is insane. She is non his fabulous friend, she is a banker. She graduated tertiary inwards her class, non some bikini bimbo. The photos are from final summertime at a political party inwards the Hamptons amongst a few operate friends. Eli was non there, he was inwards London but told everyone to remain as well as take away hold a slap-up weekend. Roger was there, he has a family a mile away. Roger likely took photos, as well as Benson wonders if Roger gave them to Eli. Zoe says Roger is a mentor as well as friend but clearly she is straight off wondering, maxim she thought he was as well as wonders why he is throwing her nether the bus. Benson says this is to undermine her case, as well as Zoe angrily states this is undermining her career. She questions the bikini shot, adding she industrial plant lxxx hours a week, adding that was the kickoff fourth dimension she had a recess inwards over a year. Fin says they are trying to intimidate her, as well as Zoe retorts that it is starting to work. Benson asks her to walk them through it i to a greater extent than time, as well as inwards doing so, Zoe recalls seeing a flash of low-cal when he was within her. Her therapist thought it was her encephalon reacting to the trauma Carisi knocks on the door as well as says they take away hold the search warrants. Benson cheers him.

At Eli’s penthouse, they serve his lawyer amongst the warrant who tells them to locomote respectful of the article of furniture as well as artwork, etc. Fin wisecracks that it looks similar the floor he grew upwardly in. Benson sees no safety cameras. In the bedroom, Fin wisecracks over again that this actually looks similar the floor he grew upwardly in, he had a roof terrace similar that. The CSU Tech turns off the lights as well as piece Fin as well as Benson walk the room, Fin steps onto the terrace as well as when he opens the door, it reflects exterior low-cal onto the bed. Benson realizes this is Zoe’s flash of low-cal as well as wasn’t Zoe simply trying to procedure her trauma.

The edifice director explains that in that location is a give notice stairway that leads to the roof as well as a service lift too. Some of Eli’s high profile guests tin access the service elevator. Benson as well as Fin press on who used the lift that dark as well as the edifice director said someone rode upwardly that dark as well as did non sign in, Eli tells them to come upwardly on up. But in that location is a photographic television set camera inwards the service elevator.

Back at SVU, Benson as well as the detectives scout the lift video as well as reckon a guy inwards the service lift at 2:45AM as well as and therefore come upwardly dorsum downward v minutes later. Facial recognition has the man’s call every bit Harry Ingram, i prior for cocaine amongst intent to distribute. Carisi talked to his friend inwards narcotics who says Ingram is a good known dealer to the Wall Street crowd. Benson concludes that Harry showed upwardly to sell Eli some coke, takes the service lift upwardly as well as and therefore opens upwardly Eli’s terrace door – Rollins adds creating the flash of low-cal inwards the dark room. Carisi comments Harry sees what’s going on as well as gets the hell out of there. Fin asks if they convey him in, as well as Benson says no, he has no argue to cooperate amongst them – non yet anyway. She asks Carisi if he knows anything nearly the stock market.

At the floor of Harry Ingram at 47 Cosby Street on Friday, March 24, Carisi fakes beingness “Stuart Gleacher” as well as a friend of Eli looking for coke to gain access within Harry's apartment. Rollins as well as officers are standing past times as well as locomote into when Carisi talks a goodness verbalise as well as gets access. Inside, Carisi continues his charade as well as gets Harry comfortable plenty to convey out the coke which he has inwards his oven. When he agrees on a toll as well as pays the money, Rollins as well as the law oculus as well as Rollins tells Harry to instruct downward on his knees as well as pose his hands on his head. He complies.  As Rollins arrests him for possession of a grade H5N1 drug as well as intent to distribute as well as reads him his rights, Carisi shrugs as well as tells the others to banking concern check the oven. He tells Harry he is sorry, bespeak if he forgot to tell him he was a cop.

At SVU inwards interrogation, Rollins as well as Carisi enquiry Harry as well as Rollins outlines his priors. They convey out the lift video as well as that he was only in that location v minutes, Harry explains when he took the lift upwardly as well as opened the master copy sleeping accommodation door, he guesses they desire to know what he saw. He asks for assurances as well as Rollins says they are non inwards that concern but if he tells them the truth, they would pose inwards a goodness operate amongst the DA. Harry says when he opened the door, Eli was on top of this daughter as well as she was struggling. He heard her say “Stop, instruct off me.” He didn’t as well as it was ugly. He unopen the door as well as got out of there. He is no saint but he is non okay amongst that sort of thing. Benson as well as Barba are observing from Benson’s purpose as well as Barba says that Eli’s self-interested coke dealer witnessed the rape. Benson comments that Harry is non the perfect witness. Barba adds fifty-fifty if he is telling the truth, he is practically useless. Benson suggests they work him exterior the courtroom to get together to a greater extent than evidence. Barba asks if she thinks Harry is willing to vesture a wire, as well as Benson thinks he is willing to vesture a clown suit. She adds Harry is therefore afraid of going to prison theater he’ll practise anything they want. Barba thinks it is worth a shot.

Later, Harry, who is wired, meets upwardly amongst Eli on the street as well as say the law talked to him, trying to instruct Eli into admitting what he did. Carisi as well as Rollins observe from the surveillance van. Harry says he saw as well as heard but Eli said Zoe said “Don’t stop” as well as that he would never take away hold gender activity amongst a adult woman without her consent. Harry counters apace that he is inwards a bind as well as he owes his buddy inwards Miami some cash as well as Eli asks if he needs money. Harry replies he needs to brand a bargain – he volition hold his oral cavity unopen as well as Eli cuts him a check. Eli asks how much he needs, as well as Harry says $500,000. But Eli counters that he thinks he needs to a greater extent than than that, as well as offers him a million.

Afterwards, Benson plays the recording for Barba, maxim that Eli is clearly trying to purchase him off as well as she thinks the jury volition reckon correct through that. But Barba is non sure, thinking Eli is likewise smooth, he never took the bait. He said the jury tin determine if Eli is lying but they demand something to a greater extent than definitive – similar Eli’s banker, Roger Littrell. Benson counters that they tried, Roger is non talking every bit Eli is his golden goose. Barba adds non amongst the proper motivation; these guys are all motivated past times i thing Benson replies “Money.”

At The Ellis Club at xl Vanderbilt Avenue on Friday, March 24, Benson speaks amongst Dan Hewitt to give him a tip, “inside information.” He says his theater is far likewise reputable to bargain inwards that sort of activity. She explains that afterward on today, they are going to locomote arresting his friend as well as associate Eli Colton for raping Zoe White. Others inwards the room are hearing this. Dan scoffs as well as says he thought she was in that location to help. When she says she is, he asks how. Benson explains they are giving his a adventure to instruct on the correct side of history. Eli’s call is going to locomote everywhere, all over the news, inwards paper as well as tabloids, as well as Cromwell Moore’s call is going to locomote splattered everywhere. She adds that the enquiry is: how does he desire to characterized, every bit a hero or a villain. He asks her to tell him what she needs. They sit down downward as well as she says Roger Littrell, his testimony is crucial. Dan explains Roger owes his whole career to Eli as well as without him, Roger is simply some other guy inwards an expensive adapt pulling downward 2 meg a year, he volition never flip. But Dan says they don’t demand him, as well as Benson says, “excuse me?” Dan explains every conversation inwards their purpose is recorded, savage honesty is the cornerstone of their firm’s philosophy. He smiling as well as says he volition take away hold the relevant videos sent to her purpose within the hour. He stands upwardly as well as shakes Benson’s hand, maxim it was overnice doing concern amongst her. Benson replies, “And you.” She asks what is going to hand off amongst Roger, as well as Dan replies he volition locomote out of the purpose earlier the destination of the day.

As Eli is walking out of his purpose building, Fin as well as Rollins, amongst 2 additional officers, arrest Eli for kickoff floor rape. Eli asks if this is necessary as well as Rollins says it is, they break that arresting as well as handcuffing rapists is an efficient way to practise concern as well as this isn’t action for activity’s sake.

The adjacent day, Zoe has entered Benson’s purpose after hearing the intelligence nearly Eli. Benson explains Cromwell Moore records everything as well as in that location is footage of her word amongst Roger as well as amongst Roger typing on her reckoner that afternoon. It appears Roger sent the phony e-mail to Eli. Zoe is surprised they take away hold cameras inwards the office, maxim that is creepy. Benson agrees but says this gives them the evidence to displace forward. She asks what is adjacent as well as Benson explains they indict Eli as well as he instruct to trial Zoe says that way she has to testify, as well as it is clear he is having 2d thoughts. Zoe explains that the caput of Cromwell’s M&A grouping met amongst her the other dark as well as offered her a project inwards Brussels at Sullivan Davis. One status is she has to hold a depression profile as well as Benson comments they don’t desire her to prove because of Eli. Benson says the project offering is reward as well as Zoe tells her to telephone telephone it whatever she wants but it is a goodness deal; they volition purchase her $5 meg a twelvemonth for iv years. She can’t say no to that. Benson asks her to hear to her but Zoe counters that she did everything correct – she came forrad as well as told the truth as well as she tool on Eli as well as where did it instruct her? The almost decimated her career as well as her future. Benson says she knows this is hard, but Zoe counters this volition ever locomote hard, no thing if she testifies against him, or he goes to prison. The hurting of everything she simply endured is never going to disappear therefore she has 2 options: she tin either locomote a wretched as well as career-less victim or she tin locomote a wealthy, employed victim. She prefers the latter. She walks out of Benson’s office, leaving Benson stunned.

Afterwards, Fin comments to Benson that after all this, Zoe wants to instruct paws upwardly as well as allow Eli walk. Benson counters she wants to instruct paid. Fin says he gets it but cypher is for free. Rollins, at her desk amongst Carisi standing nearby, enquire them to banking concern check something out: they reckon someone named "@Breezy233!" posted a photograph of Eli at Carmignanos amongst David Potter, CEO of Sullivan Davis. Benson says that is the fellowship that simply made Zoe that ridiculous project offer. Carisi comments that legally this doesn’t prove it, but Benson says that it does confirm what they suspect; that Eli cutting a bargain to run his concern through Sullivan as well as inwards return, Sullivan funnels some of that revenue to Zoe. Rollins adds to hold Zoe quiet. Fin comments you lot gotta honey Wall Street. Rollins says this is a reward as well as a bribe as well as they can’t allow them instruct away. Benson explains she volition telephone telephone Barba as well as reckon what their options arte.

Later, Benson speaks amongst Barba who says 2 businessmen having dinner doesn’t prove anything. Benson counters that for 10 years. Eli’s only banking concern was Cromwell Moore as well as correct earlier he is to instruct on trial on a rape charge, some theater out of the blueish offers a 26 twelvemonth old nipper who makes $300 grand a twelvemonth $5 million. Barba knows, but they can’t prove it, the paper trail is clean. From the outside, Sullivan Davis offered Zoe White, a talented, immature bakery amongst impeccable credentials, a lucrative contract, in that location is cypher incriminating nearly it. Benson says that rape is nevertheless illegal, right? She suggests they telephone telephone Zoe every bit a hostile witness. Barba says they tin practise that as well as as well as therefore await similar fools. He says he knows this is difficult to take away hold but this is Zoe’s life as well as her decision. Benson says she is non making a decision, she is beingness extorted. Barba asks if Zoe feels that way, maxim mayhap this project as well as this coin volition assist her heal as well as give her closure. Benson shakes her caput as well as says she doesn’t believe that for a second, as well as and therefore says to Barba, “And neither practise you.” Barba says “Of course of study not. So let’s instruct break some other way to bury this prick.”

At a afterward time, Zoe is inwards Benson’s purpose as well as Zoe tells Benson to honor her decision. Benson says she does but she’s been doing this for a long fourth dimension as well as testifying tin locomote a crucial share of the healing process. Zoe comments she is certain it is…for some people. Zoe says she is a bargain maker as well as she makes decisions based on fact, non feeling, as well as she analyzes the pros as well as cons as well as the chance costs.
