McGrath quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

[to Garland] What I see? Lack of discipline, lack of investigative competence, lack of leadership. In a word, failure. I see failure. Failure written all over you.

These women were butchered, Captain.

Benson

Yes, they were.

And then... then he laid them out like he's throwing some goddamn dinner party? [Benson says nothing] Make the case, okay? Make the case because this... this is evil.

Benson

These kids, they're minors.

Yeah?

Benson

We can't put their photo out in the media even if we arrest them.

Well, they aren't even going to be arrested if we don't get their faces out there.

Murphy

Faces? All anyone will see is gang project thugs wilding.

So we can't go after hate crimes against Jews if Black kids commit them, is that it?

Okay, so we're missing a few pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. Either way, the city is on boil. So make some arrests and calm this down.

Benson

Chief, we can definitely do that, but I don't think we're missing a few pieces. I think what we're looking at is two different puzzles.

Murphy

And we don't have any pieces of the second one.

Benson

Our guy is a serial rapist, who's been getting away with it, for the past 20 years.

Oh, it's like the Justice League of America in here. Good, good, good.

Benson

Well, SVU from every borough, plus troopers and detectives, from Missouri to Jersey, and most states in between.

And we're in it until we figure out who this guy is. No leaves, no weekends. 1PP has signed off on all the overtime you need.

Benson

So the next time I want their attention, all I need to tell them is that we're looking for a nationwide serial rapist.
