LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT {LAW AND ORDER: SVU}: CLOSURE: PART 2 (TV)
Summary
One in this series of police dramas -- a spin-off of "Law & Order" -- about the sexual crimes investigated by the elite Special Victims Unit of the New York Police Department. In this program, which takes up the threads of an episode in the preceding season, Lori Thatcher is the latest victim of serial rapist Kenneth Cleary, who covers his victims' eyes so that they cannot identify him. After each attack, however, Cleary's wife Meredith receives a phone call informing her of her husband's actions. Meredith does not believe the caller and seeks help from the police in stopping what she sees as telephone harassment. Stabler and Benson track down the rapist's first victim, Harper Anderson, as the one stalking Cleary and making the phone calls. Clues to his guilt are found when similar rapes are committed in Philadelphia while Cleary is there on business. The real breakthroughs in the case occur when the victims identify him by the sound of his voice, and Meredith realizes that her husband has given her jewelry taken from his victims. Her hysteria while on the stand at Cleary's trial causes a mistrial, but she and Harper unite to take revenge into their own hands. Commercials deleted.
