- Quotes
Jack McCoy: What are you doing about the Bipolar Roller?
Connie Rubirosa: We dropped our opposition to bail and his brother in California posted bond.
Michael Cutter: [to Cutter] Fax from forensics for you.
[pause, then to Connie]
Jack McCoy: Skater posted bond? He's out?
Connie Rubirosa: Mm-hmm.
Michael Cutter: A couple hours ago. Why?
Jack McCoy: That old knife sheath of his the police found? It had no connection to the current murders, but it had DNA inside that matches five of the serial killer's previous victims.
Michael Cutter: Jonah Applebaum is the Boxcar Basher?
Jack McCoy: You just put an insane serial killer back on the street.
Connie Rubirosa: He doesn't know that we know that. We... we can still pick him up.
Jack McCoy: You damn well better. This could be Willie Horton all over again.
Michael Cutter: Willie Horton? You're not worried about the election, are you?
Jack McCoy: I'm worried about everything. About him killing someone else. About the way this office is run. A serial killer in our hands and then released. Am I being too picky?
It's the murder of three homeless men on Randall's Island and a most expensive pair of skates make Jeremy Sisto and Anthony Anderson think that the Roller might be one of the victims. He was in fact one unusual homeless person in that he had a business as well. But he shows up alive and entertaining over at Columbus Circle.
This story gives us a couple of theories of the crime and has a lot of twists to it. As it turns out Gant is discovered quite by accident to be a serial killer and he's arrested for the deaths. Later on that changes.
Bear in mind all of this is being played out while Sam Waterston is running for election to District Attorney in his own right. As he used to say to his various bosses, you do the politics, I do the law. Now he's doing the politics and discovers there are minefields aplenty out there.
You have to see the bit of manipulation that Linus Roache uses on Gant to get to the truth in court.
But most of all see the outrageous and flamboyant performance that Gant gives.
