An Arab man and an Arab woman are raped with a pipe and then set on fire with fuel oil. Only someone with a whole lot of rage inside could do something like this.
These weren't just any people. Both belonged to an Interfaith group that the perpetrator targeted. The rape angle is what brings SVU into the case so if he hadn't added that extra sexual touch God only knows how many more victims there could have been.
Some video tape leads them to the suspect Reynaldo Rosales and in the history of the show I doubt you will ever see a perpetrator so filled with rage as this man. It's a mesmerizing performance and quite timely given the days we are living in now.
Rosales will on every opportunity spout how evil and dangerous these people are, the worst of them pretending to be friends like those who are in the Interfaith organization. As it turns out the source for his rage was a lot more closer to home than he even admits to his own lawyer, the ever slick Barry Bostwick. In fact Rosales is caught in one major fib.
Reynaldo Rosales gets major share of the acting kudos for this episode, with very big honorable mention going to B.D.Wong. You have to see how Wong demolishes the defense expert.
