Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 12

Benson:
[about Vicki's 2000 rape kit] Why'd it take so long to test it?

Winters:
'Cause we have thousands of kits sitting in the freezer. How bad's your backlog?

Benson:
We don't have one. Every kit is tested after an assault, and the results are forwarded back to us and to the D.A.

Winters:
[gets a phone call] That was the lab. The DNA from Vicki's rape kit is degraded.

Benson:
Oh, I can't catch a break!

Winters:
But the tech's willing to testify he's got enough matching alleles to ID.

Benson:
I'm gonna collar this guy's ass, and then I'm gonna send it to you on a silver platter.

Winters:
It's yours. California has a 10-year statute. The clock ran out on Vicki's rape three weeks ago.

Benson:
You knew all along that you couldn't prosecute?

Winters:
But I knew you could. Go get the prick.
