Law & Order: Special Victims Unit · Season 1, Episode 15

Barba, Chief Dodds and others in “Unfinished Business”

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.

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

Are you serious?

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

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]

He didn't mean it.

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