    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Wheatley is meeting with Assistant US Attorney Baldi in an attempt to get a plea bargain he names off one of his associates, Masanori Watanabe. Upon hearing his name AUSA Baldi whispers "Yamaguchi-gumi" to his assistant. The Yamaguchi-gumi are the largest member of the Japanese Yakuza, which is Japan's largest and most powerful crime syndicate. The Yamaguchi are one of the largest criminal organizations in the world, with a reported 8,200 active members. They are also ranked among the world's wealthiest gangsters, making billions of dollars a year from extortion, gambling, prostitution, sex trafficking (especially trafficking underage Japanese girls), arms trafficking, the import and export of drugs, especially the export of raw opium to be made into heroin. They also have experience with stock market manipulation and are one of the world's largest producers of internet child pornography.
    • Goofs
      As Wheatley hired someone to kill Kathy Stabler, murder for profit, he should be charged with murder in the first degree, not second degree murder.
    • Quotes

      Ayanna Bell: What's going on here?

      Captain Olivia Benson: Someone started a thread on social that Baldi was trying to big foot your case. We're here to stand with you

      [the camera pans to reveal several uniformed officers and federal agents]

      Detective Elliot Stabler: They're here for us, Sarge

      Ayanna Bell: Thanks, Liv.

      Richard Wheatley: Liv? Captain Olivia Benson. Wow. Elliot, now I completely understand. She's a knockout. Poor Angela though. Such a pleasure to meet you, Liv.

      [Wheatley extends his hands]

      Captain Olivia Benson: Get him out of here.

      Richard Wheatley: [as he's being lead away] Is that a yes for dinner? Thanks for saving my life.

    Will this thread ever end?
    I have only ever watched the original Law & Order series. I thought I would give this one a try. But it is absolutely nothing like the original, and I guess SVU isn't either. So does the story thread last for years, as long as people keep watching it? I was hoping this thread would end with this season and a new thread will start with season two. Obviously not the case. So I'm bailing. There were too many ridiculous and implausible instances throughout this season anyway. This is fiction, sure, an entertainment of sorts. But what cop, fictional or real, would risk his own life saving the man who murdered his wife? I have no interest in watching this drag on for years.
