- Quotes
Olivia Benson: [to Lewis after suduing him] Hey. Hey, you. You're out cold, are you? I haven't called anybody yet. I think I want you to suffer first. Maybe I could burn you or cut you. Or I could use the blowtorch on you, but you might enjoy that too much. See, you you'd know what to do. Your whole life, you know what you want and you just do it. What I want to do I want to shoot you in the head right now, watch you bleed out. Or maybe that's too easy. My old partner he'd know what to do. He wouldn't question himself after what you've done. He would kick your teeth in, break your legs, break your arms, break your back, break your face. Maybe I should call him. Maybe I should get him to use that metal bar on you, huh? And make you beg for your life.
Encouraged by this, hunter Lewis chooses a big prey to celebrate: Nypd police detective Olivia Benson.
After this episode, I started to follow svu constantly and watch all its seasons.
Frankly, the first time I watched it, when the scene where the serial rapist and murderer Lewis is pointing a gun at Olivia is finished... Svu calculated that, Nick and Fin will raid there with their guns, Munch and Amanda will handcuff Lewis, Brian I thought i would throw a few punches at him and Cragen and Barba would send him to the bars he deserved. The story in my head was that simple. Because it was always like that.
However, when the first act of Season 15 opened, I was shocked. I never expected, all that. Actually I should have understood, I had Svu in front of me and it was unpredictable. Therefore, I figured out that Svu has an iconography. So everything became clearer.
The first episode of Lewis' hunt for Olivia was told through Alice Parker (Judith Ivey).
"Ain't we got fun?" listens to the song. Because he knows what he wants. It is clear. He does not question whether it is good or bad. He wants to bring out the bad inside of Olivia by removing her good personality and police identity. He had access to the brain and emotions of the other person: Olivia's father.
We learn that Lewis was his father who turned into a monster , who was abused by his caregiver. So, He played like a cat and mouse with the law.
There was a murderer committed in 7s 19e who discovered Olivia and Elliot's weaknesses. Also; On 9s 15e, Olivia was seriously attacked. And on 9s 12e, law or execution in the face of a cold-blooded murderer? The dilemmas of becoming a beast among beasts were questioned.
At this point, Olivia for the first time in a long time, remembers Elliot at this difficult moment. He talks about his comfort and unquestioningness when he used violence as a police officer.
When Olivia takes control, her showdowns with Lewis are the moments of questioning where her battle begins, whether the law will win or the beast will win.
At first, when Olivia was in the hands of the beast Lewis, that is, the policeman was in the hands of the delinquent, the picture has now changed. She is in the hands of the delinquent police, she. So what will happen next? What will happen after that contains many questions and problems.
Should Olivia make Lewis pay for what he did to her? God she knows we all hit Lewis's head. Without question, should she act like Elliot... But then what's the difference between the macho cop Elliot and a sadistic beast?
So does the law know every trick against delinquents who try every trick? Should you believe or trust the Law?
While handcuffed beast Lewis and cop Olivia face off, which path will the better Olivia win?
Should Olivia, the guardian of the law, shoot the beast right now and get away with every chance she has?
As Olivia said, the easy way is the way. Implementing "criminal justice" is always the easy way out.
There is no difference between being shot and killed or raped and killed but short-term satisfaction. But waiting for justice to be served is a long road. Must have serious patience. The hardest way, though, is to solve the problem from the source.
Because, instead of eliminating one beast William Lewis at that moment, reckoning with the law would mean destroying many like beast William Lewis.
Think of it this way, instead of using violence in the face of injustice, we raise our two hands to the sky and pray patiently. We believe in divine justice. There is no difference between justice and belief!
In that moment of reckoning, Olivia is faced with a large mirror, an iconographic element. Olivia looks in that mirror and puts the gun in her hand by the mirror. She prefers and knows what she wants. But she is traumatized. She can't take the provocation any longer and takes the iron rod instead of the weapon.
She leaves what is lethal. (weapon) She takes what is destructive. (iron bar). They are now equated with fractures and wounds.
Looking at herself in the mirror again and cutting her hair... is wanting to get rid of what she's been through.
Now, the war between the law and the beast turns into chaos.
This story series is one of Svu's masterpieces. And Lewis Svu is the badass in history.
