Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst of 7 episodes (in 10 years) of Linda Emond as Dr. Emily Sopher.
- GoofsChaudhary and Zara are shown together and the show references Middle-Eastern and Indian in the same way. In real life, India is an entirely separate country with no relation to the Middle East (except invasions from the Middle East). Islam is a major point of contention in India due to the invasions and the legacy of Islamic conquest. Furthermore, henna was used independently in India without Islam or Middle-Eastern influence and has its own name and tradition in traditional Indian culture. It is not a Muslim-only thing.
- Quotes
Donald Cragen: Whatever this is, let's be careful not to say Muslim men like to burn their wives.
John Munch: No, if they want to burn people, they fly an airplane full of gasoline into an office building.
Dr. George Huang: Excuse me, but they were extremists.
John Munch: Sorry, but my next door neighbor's Iranian. At airports, even he's scared when he sees Middle Eastern passports. I mean, let's get real. People know it's wrong, but they think it anyway.
These weren't just any people. Both belonged to an Interfaith group that the perpetrator targeted. The rape angle is what brings SVU into the case so if he hadn't added that extra sexual touch God only knows how many more victims there could have been.
Some video tape leads them to the suspect Reynaldo Rosales and in the history of the show I doubt you will ever see a perpetrator so filled with rage as this man. It's a mesmerizing performance and quite timely given the days we are living in now.
Rosales will on every opportunity spout how evil and dangerous these people are, the worst of them pretending to be friends like those who are in the Interfaith organization. As it turns out the source for his rage was a lot more closer to home than he even admits to his own lawyer, the ever slick Barry Bostwick. In fact Rosales is caught in one major fib.
Reynaldo Rosales gets major share of the acting kudos for this episode, with very big honorable mention going to B.D.Wong. You have to see how Wong demolishes the defense expert.
