Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 18

Barba:
The rape claim has nothing to with the terrorism charges. It could make her more sympathetic in the eyes of the jury. Raise the question of whether she was really a willing participant in the crime.

Chief Dodds:
Put the brakes on the rape investigation for now, 'til the trial is over. Let the defense claim rape all they want.

Benson:
I understand that there is something bigger at play here, I really do. I get it. But I'm not sure that should matter.

Chief Dodds:
Are you serious?

Benson:
With all due respect, Chief, I can't not do this. I'm just trying to do my job.

Chief Dodds:
With all due respect, you doing your job cost my son his life!

[Dodds pauses for a minute, stunned by what he has just said. He leaves the room, overwhelmed]

Barba:
He didn't mean it.

Benson:
Sure he did. He's not wrong, either.
