Warning: Spoilers
This episode focuses on a corrupt cop in a corrupt precinct. At his new assignment Dean Winters is told of a cop who likes to pick up women who are drunk and vulnerable and rape them. Just whom are those victims likely to call?

When he reports this to Internal Affairs that gets Robert John Burke's attention. In what amounts to chutzpah of the year award he goes to Dann Florek and asks for SVU's help. Still it's a sex crime and that is what they are in business apprehend.

Without a hesitation SVU does a sting operation with Kelli Giddish playing very effectively a drunken women who looks to have partied too hardy. But it nearly goes wrong.

David Conrad whom we are told is married and has a kid doesn't look like the type who would have to force his attentions on women. Watching him as the cop rapist you wonder what gave him the idea to use the badge as a sexual hunting license.

As Conrad's partner Nadia Dajani is even more terrifying. She's a plain Jane type 40 something who has this Statue of Liberty size torch for Conrad. She aids and abets in everything he perpetrates in the hopes he'll notice her some day. Truly pathetic and Dajani is the most effective one in this show.

Seeing Florek tell off Burke in the end is worth the whole show.
