Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 3

[Alex finds Judge Petrovsky coming out of an elevator]

Judge Petrovsky:
Stalking me, counselor?

Alex:
I need a search warrant.

Judge Petrovsky:
What are we searching for?

Alex:
Videotapes of Roy Barnett engaged in sex acts with minors.

Judge Petrovsky:
You're kidding! Where are they?

Alex:
Sam Cavanaugh's house.

Judge Petrovsky:
[scoffs] His mother would rather see you dead than let you search the place. Information from a reliable source? Don't start.

Alex:
He was a victim of Roy Barnett's until 5 years ago.

Judge Petrovsky:
Which is old news. What's the rest of the story?

Alex:
He's in Sing Sing for aggravated sexual abuse-1 plus a separate fraud conviction.

Judge Petrovsky:
I can't believe you're even asking!

Alex:
Roy Barnett is a serial child molester. He will not stop.

Judge Petrovsky:
Neither of which is a reason to grant a warrant.

Alex:
The tapes are.

Judge Petrovsky:
You have no idea whether they even exist.

Alex:
This is our last chance. I have to risk it.

Judge Petrovsky:
I won't order a search based on the dubious word of a convicted pedophile! You look like Hell, Alexandra. Get some sleep.
