January 28, 2019
Edit
Law & Order SVU seemed to move on hiatus for thence long I was worried that viewers would forget nearly it. “Justice Denied” was an episode that was clearly worth the wait. It begins amongst a flashback taken from the episode “Quarry” that get-go aired inward Jan 2005 (from a 2004 case). While this dialog was taken from “Quarry,” I practise non believe that “Justice Denied” is an actual revisiting of the primary instance inward “Quarry”. I am certain at that topographic point are nitpickers out at that topographic point who tin assist confirm or refute this.

Benson says they tin lay him dorsum inward prison theater right now. He had coke in addition to weed inward his system, he had gender activity amongst an underage daughter who answered the door. Martinez says he does non desire to become back. Benson says in addition to thence why don’t they assist each other out, in addition to asks if Pena e'er talked to him nearly the criminal offence he committed 8 years ago. Martinez says yes, Pena kept maxim he didn’t practise it in addition to wouldn’t give it a rest. Amaro comments that Martinez was inward the Navy in addition to dishonorably discharged, asking if he remembers how to necktie knots (he says he guesses) in addition to asks if he withal has a uniform. Martinez replies at him mom’s. Benson tells Martinez that they are looking for a Latino guy wearing a Navy uniform who knows how to necktie a bowline in addition to who knew the details of Pena’s criminal offence in addition to who also owned Pena a favor Benson asks if he sees their problem; all of those things fit him. Before he tin answer, Benson raises her vox in addition to tells him he has 2 choices, he tin move direct amongst them nearly what happened on Sabbatum nighttime in addition to they tin utter to the DA or he tin sit down at that topographic point in addition to protect somebody that doesn’t give a damn nearly him. Benson asks what Is it going to be. Martinez says he knows why they think he did this, in addition to Benson says the jury volition think thence too. She asks if he knows how long Pena was sentenced for, telling him it was 315 years. She adds that amongst his previous rape, the exact same crime, he volition larn the exact time. Martinez asks to merely allow him think. Benson continues to press, maxim they volition tell the DA the truth, that he was scared, peradventure he threatened his family. Martinez tries to think in addition to at that topographic point is a knock on the door, Benson commenting that is likely the DA at nowadays in addition to ane time they larn involved, it is out of her hands. As Amaro leaves the room, Martinez says to tell the DA he is thinking. Benson raises her vox again, in addition to says Martinez doesn’t receive got fourth dimension to think, he is at a crossroads RIGHT NOW. She shouts that he has to brand a decision, in addition to Martinez says OK. Benson says if he makes the right decision, she volition become to bat for him. Amaro opens the door in addition to calls to Benson, but she shouts dorsum that they are getting somewhere here, maxim Martinez is thinking straight. Amaro says before he does, she should know. When she says she volition move right there, Amaro insists that she needs to receive got a minute. Benson tells Martinez to think hard. She angrily exits the room in addition to asks Amaro what is he doing pulling her out, she had him. Amaro says Martinez didn’t practise it. Benson argues he is goodness for this. Cragen says the deoxyribonucleic acid results are dorsum from the rape kit; the lab constitute skins cells nether Gina’s fingernails, but no hits on CODIS.

Fin wonders if Gina’s rapist was truly inward the Navy his deoxyribonucleic acid would move inward on file. Cragen thinks they are dorsum to foursquare one. Rollins says Gina is at nowadays stable in addition to lucky, hither eyesight is coming back. Cragen asks Rollins to regard if Gina is upwards to working amongst a sketch artist. Benson wonders if they are dropping Pena merely similar that, in addition to Fin says he’s got to move behind this. Benson adds to aspect at the criminal offence scenes, the slashing. Amaro says at that topographic point is ane other possibility – the 2 rapes could move the same perp in addition to it may non move Pena. Cragen suggests Amaro non become downward a rabbit hole in addition to adds Pena is goodness for the 2004 rape in addition to if he did laid this ane up, he volition non walk them through it. They demand to discover who did onset her in addition to walk it back. Bayard Ellis enters the squad room in addition to asks if he has come upwards at a bad time.
Outside of SVU in addition to walking downward the street, Ellis says that Omar Pena asked him to aspect into his conviction, he believes the existent rapist was never caught in addition to merely struck again. Benson says he doesn’t believe that, he laid upwards the 2nd rape thence someone would autumn for his story. Ellis asks if that is her working theory, in addition to she asks what’s his. Ellis says she heard nearly her one-time partner in addition to that IAB had a deep file on him in addition to he wasn’t a stranger to threats in addition to coercion. Benson insists this wasn’t his interrogation; Munch in addition to Fin took the get-go shift in addition to she took the concluding nine hours. Ellis comments nearly nine direct hours, in addition to Benson says she gave him breaks in addition to he knew his rights. Ellis counters that fifty-fifty so, nine hours takes a cost on the detective as good as the defendant. Benson thinks Pena is playing Ellis in addition to that Pena has written 10 G letters – in addition to Ellis corrects her that it is 62,000. Benson pauses in addition to replies that this doesn’t hateful he is innocent, in addition to she continues to walk.

She says very, adding that Omar Pena was a washout from the Navy, he was wearing his one-time uniform for fleet calendar week in addition to novel details of the criminal offence that were never made public, downward to the color of the scarf that the victim was gagged with. Haden says that’s what he needed to hear, adding that at nowadays that at that topographic point is a copycat, Ellis wants them to retest the one-time evidence for the novel rapist’s DNA. Haden says he volition move denying his request. He sits downward in addition to begins to aspect through a file, in addition to Benson merely stands there. After a pause, she asks if they are good. He looks upwards in addition to says, “yeah.” After a long pause, le looks in addition to Benson in addition to says, “Thanks for coming in, detective. Give my best to your captain” in addition to and thence continues to aspect through the file on his desk, seemingly paying no attending to Benson, She stands at that topographic point looking slightly uncomfortable, in addition to thence nods her caput in addition to turns in addition to walks out of his office.

Rollins says Gina did non give many details, she is certain it as a Navy uniform. Benson adds that is merely similar Pena, but Amaro says they know it is non him. Benson thinks he slipped that particular to his copycat. Nick gets a aspect of frustration in addition to Benson picks upwards on it, asking Amaro if he has something to say, merely say it. Amaro says he is noticing inconsistencies. The rope guy says the knots from ’04 were made past times a lefty in addition to Pena’s handwriting looks right handed. Benson testily asks if Amaro is a handwriting expert, in addition to Cragen tells Benson it is slowly to confirm. But Benson says they should move focusing on Gina’s rapist. Cragen tells her they are dead ended from leads on Gina’s onset in addition to peradventure it is fourth dimension to become dorsum in addition to regard if they missed anything from 8 years ago. He adds that instance had witnesses who lay Pena inward the bar amongst the ships are dorsum inward town in addition to peradventure some of the witnesses are too, asking Rollins to regard if she tin milkshake the one-time ID. He tells Benson in addition to Amaro to become dorsum in addition to re-interview Ariel Baskins in addition to demonstrate her the novel sketch. Benson comments that Ariel picked Pena. Cragen says ane time again to demonstrate her the novel sketch, maxim at that topographic point is a possibility they are looking at ane perp here, non a copycat.
As they walk exterior of SVU, Amaro tells Benson he has gone over the instance in addition to gets why she is certain Pena is guilty, but Benson tells him non to move her. Amaro wonders that if his confession was because he could receive got caved nether pressure. Benson tells him they had their guy thence she pushed hard. Amaro comments it is similar Mike Martinez, who was nearly to cop to existence laid upwards past times Pena. Amaro stands inward front end of Benson in addition to stops her, maxim that he has been right where she is, got thence involved inward a instance he lost perspective in addition to taken downward a guy who he knew was guilty of something. Benson counters that she trusts her instincts in addition to if she doesn’t receive got that, she shouldn’t move here. She gets into the car.
At Brazilian Frigate Maranhao at pier 88, Fin speaks to Javier who says the sketch looks similar every other guy on his ship. Fin says that is the tertiary witness to tell him the same thing.

He said what Pena did to that piteous daughter was horrible in addition to he volition never forget it.
Elsewhere, Benson in addition to Amaro speak amongst Ariel who doesn’t desire to recall anything nearly that night. Benson explains they desire to brand certain the human being who did this to her stays inward prison theater in addition to asks for her help. Benson says Pena has a lawyer who is trying to reopen the case. They demonstrate her the sketch, in addition to Ariel strains her eyes, using special glasses, to regard it. She recognizes the uniform, but non his face, she insists the human being was Omar Pena. Amaro asks if she saw his human face upwards piece he was attacking her, in addition to she says she saw his uniform in addition to was trying to recall details in addition to he must receive got seen her looking thence he splashed her inward the face. She insists it was him in addition to doesn’t know why they are asking her this, they told her themselves that he knew all the details in addition to nearly the scarf that he used to gag her with. She hasn’t worn blood-red since. Benson asks if she said red, in addition to asks if she is certain the scarf was red. Ariel replies yes, it was a birthday introduce from her woman parent in addition to she said it was supposed to convey her luck. Ariel asks them to tell her he is non getting out. Benson does non answer.
Afterwards, Benson is racing out of the even out in addition to Amaro tells her to tiresome downward in addition to asks what is going on. She says it is ane of the details only the rapist would know.
Later, inward the file room amongst Amaro, Benson looks through the evidence box in addition to says when Pena confessed, he said he used a light-green scarf . It was the ane particular that convinced them Pena was guilty. Amaro sees inward the file that the officeholder who vouchered it listed it as green. She finds the scarf inward the box - it’s blood-red – in addition to she holds it upwards in addition to asks him if it looks light-green to him. Benson tells Amaro she was non at the criminal offence scene, she was at the infirmary amongst Ariel. Amaro says Benson questioned Pena over an evidence log that she did non know was wrong. Benson said at some point, she must receive got mentioned the light-green scarf in addition to and thence when he was tired in addition to exhausted in addition to confused, he must receive got repeated it dorsum to her. Amaro comments that Pena lay himself away for 300 years. Benson is distressed that Pena recanted in addition to kept telling her he was innocent.
In Haden’s office, Cragen tells him that the officeholder was color blind, in addition to Haden asks if he is kidding him in addition to asks how he got on the force. Benson said he was fine when he came out of the university but inward 2004 he caput early on phase MS in addition to ane of the symptoms is colorblindness. Haden comments that anything that tin become wrong… in addition to Benson says she must receive got mentioned the particular to Pena in addition to hours after he repeated it dorsum to her. Cragen says it could receive got been a detective that interrogated Pena earlier, but Haden says it does non matter, the confession is no good. Benson states she takes total responsibility, but Cragen says they are non pointing fingers here. Cragen says if Pena’s confession was compromised in addition to he is petitioning for a deoxyribonucleic acid test, he deserves one. Haden testily says a duad days agone Cragen’s detective assured him he had a goodness confession, he took her discussion on that, adding they are all out on a limb here. Cragen comments that people brand mistakes in addition to Benson has stepped forward. Haden replies he is non disceptation character, this is nearly perception. Ellis volition plough this into an indictment of both their offices. Benson volunteers to utter to Ellis in addition to tell him that this was exclusively her mistake. Haden cautions her non to deport her cervix to a wolf, merely tell him the DA’s component subdivision volition larn the deoxyribonucleic acid seek approved, in addition to he looks away. Benson looks distraught in addition to Cragen motions for them to leave of absence the office.
Back at Green Haven inward the visitor’s room amongst Ellis, Benson tells Pena they constitute matching deoxyribonucleic acid on the ropes at both criminal offence scenes in addition to it agency it was non him in addition to they are re-opening the case. She explains that at the really to the lowest degree if it has to become to retrial, at that topographic point volition move reasonable doubt. When Ellis prompts for a response, Pena is incensed this could hateful a reinvestigation in addition to a retrial. He asks Benson if she wants a aureate medal now, maxim she is telling him something he told her 8 years ago. Ellis cautions Pena to receive got it easy, in addition to Pena says he is innocent in addition to he doesn’t desire a retrial, he wants them to vacate his conviction. Ellis explains at that topographic point is calorie-free to the halt of the tunnel. Pena retorts he volition believe that when he is out in addition to he storms out of the room. Benson tells Ellis the confession was all her fault, she worked him difficult in addition to she told him they had all kinds of evidence in addition to he was going away no affair what. She broke him, but Ellis assures her she was doing her job. Benson goes on to say she forced a imitation confession, and, looking as if she is cook to cry, wonders if at that topographic point are others. She tells Ellis she looks inward the mirror in addition to does non similar what she sees; she’s seen "good one-time boy" detectives force this in addition to she took pride inward knowing she is non ane of them. Ellis stays it is because she is not; she stepped forward. Benson grabs her coat in addition to leaves the room.
Back at SVU, Fin asks Benson how it went at Green Haven yesterday. She asks how does he think? Fin wonders as he in addition to Munch in addition to Pena get-go if they slipped upwards on the scarf. Benson tells him it doesn’t matter. She walks over to Amaro in addition to Rollins in addition to asks where are they on catching the existent rapist. Rollins ambiguously says nowhere in addition to somewhere, at that topographic point are to a greater extent than than the 2 rapes that happened here. There are iii other deoxyribonucleic acid hits cast Interpol. There are iii sexual assaults, ane inward Buenos Aires inward 2006, on inward Naples Italia inward 2008, in addition to Rota Espana inward 2009. Amaro thinks the series rapist starts hither inward 2004 amongst Ariel in addition to moves on to other ports, Benson adding until he comes dorsum in addition to rapes Gina Logan. Fin confirms it is the same MO. Rollins says the dates all check upwards amongst international fleet calendar week events. Amaro says they know the rapist is non USA Navy as they would receive got his deoxyribonucleic acid on file. Benson asks how dissimilar are the Naval uniforms from province to country.
Meanwhile, Ellis is inward Haden’s component subdivision maxim his customer has been wrongful imprisoned for 8 years, in addition to asks Haden how much longer he has to wait? Haden replies that they receive got to consummate their investigation in addition to the deoxyribonucleic acid results lonely are non exculpatory. Ellis counters that paired amongst the imitation evidence, “the hell they aren’t.” Haden argues at that topographic point is plenty of other evidence too the confession; the victim picked him out of lineup, vi witnesses ID’d him inward a bar harassing her, in addition to he gets arrested amongst the victim’s credit cards. Haden scoffs that it is non a slam dunk for dismissal. Ellis claims it is circumstantial in addition to the IDs were bad. Haden insists at that topographic point is no malice – non from the DA’s office, or the NYPD, in addition to Benson is killing herself trying to brand this right. Haden says Ellis saw her amongst Pena. Ellis admits he knows, in addition to Haden adds she has taken this personally. Haden says Benson is non ane of those “good one-time boy” detectives in addition to this is a betoken of pride amongst her. After hearing the “good one-time boy” comment, Ellis pauses in addition to and thence asks when did Benson tell him nearly their see amongst Pena? Ellis says he was amongst her on the educate yesterday afternoon thence it must receive got been concluding night. Haden shrugs in addition to asks what Ellis is asking him. Ellis says he is curious, in addition to asks him what is the nature of their relationship? Haden stands upwards in addition to tells Ellis “I think we’re done here.” Ellis asks if the district attorney knows. Haden takes a breath in addition to does non reply. Ellis goes on to say that he has an innocent human being inward prison theater in addition to appearances propose that the detective who coerced the confession is involved amongst the ADA whose component subdivision is re-investigating the case. Haden tells Ellis he knows them both amend than that. Ellis replies in addition to thence he knows they volition both practise the right thing here. Ellis moves to leave of absence in addition to turns to aspect dorsum at Haden before he exits.
Later, sitting inward Benson’s parked car, she tells Haden that she does non larn it, Ellis knows their human relationship has cipher to practise amongst this case.
