Plot twist twist, Elijah was the female agent

Maybe the real Elijah is the friends we made along the way

We decided r/e1m8b speaks for the community. Did you not get the memo?

u/Adventurous-Try8749 5d ago

Well yeah. Don't you know what Elijah means in Hebrew?

u/TheGogglesDoNotThang 5d ago

Directed by M Night Shyamalan

u/Zyrinj 5d ago

Production twist, it was directed by Elijah

u/Squeezitgirdle 5d ago

Plot plot twist twist, Elijah wood was the actor that played the female cop.

u/Pistoolio 4d ago

“The female agent” holy cow do people not know Benson and Stabler anymore

u/Zyrinj 4d ago

you mean Elijah and Elijah?

u/TheG0AT0fAllTime 4d ago

It's the top comment every time this gets reposted

u/AAPL_ 4d ago

they are both actually wanted and now the guy washing dishes has an escape also

13

u/whatdis321 5d ago

In that case, Nathaniel wouldn’t have ran and they wouldn’t have needed to chase him

36

u/DaPino 5d ago

Unless Nathaniel was a true fucking bro and he was in on it to give Elijah an escape plan.

4

u/JD_Kreeper 4d ago

Or Nathaniel knew Elijah had set him up.

u/Thin-Nerve6367 5d ago

And his homie took the hit for him lol 😆

I was waiting for that to happen.

They had his name but not his picture?

u/SinglePlayerGamer93 5d ago

Stabler: "they all look the same anyway"

this is a joke, I dont think stabler was shown to have any racist tendencies

214

u/Ok_Dot_7498 5d ago

He doesn't have racist tendancys, he brutalizes all suspects equally.

71

u/restrictednumber 5d ago

Seriously. God, I love SVU but Stabler and Dick Wolfe in general can get fucked. They're the kind of people who don't believe in bad cops because they're in favor of doing all the bad-cop shit.

48

u/MikeOfAllPeople 4d ago

The early seasons of classic Law and Order actually portrayed the corruption of the police pretty accurately and even critically. It's a wild contrast when you go back and look at them now.

32

u/showyerbewbs 4d ago

My favorite L&O series was Criminal Intent.

Partly because of D'nofrio but also because it delved more into the psychology instead of just hitting the same tropish beats every episode.

Like all the weird lines they gave Ice-T

23

u/MoboCross 5d ago

They even had a cameraman on the inside, maybe the cameraman knew them well? 

13

u/burns_before_reading 4d ago

And they just keep taking their word for who is who

I was gonna find some police doing sum silly but then I found this

u/BornAgainBlue 2d ago

White cops... They probably wrote down "black male"

8

u/Mistiltella 5d ago

They should cast twins to be those two guys

11

u/Okamitoutcourt 5d ago

Well they do look similar enough that someone who hasn't seen the photo for enough time would confuse them, not to mention the guy being perfecly calm they're cops

u/EyeChihuahua 1d ago

He’s gone. Bro he’s downstairs.

We're all Elijah. Or maybe Elijah were the friends we made along the way.

u/jramsi20 5d ago

Thought they could get the drop on the Zombie Master, no chance.

u/Jedi_hugz 5d ago

My first thought too!

u/iaresosmart 5d ago

Elijah means "brother" in their language. Like, "Heyyy Elijah"

Now you’re running from the cops, and boy, you move so quickly

Respect, lol.

u/albamarx 5d ago

Don’t think I’d ever seen Chris from The Wire in anything else

6

u/Defiant-Youth-4193 4d ago

That's crazy since he's in so much stuff. I actually forgot he was in the wire until your comment, but it has been quite a while since I've seen it.

u/JrAdelberg 3d ago

I loved him on Wonder Showzen.

27

u/migviola 5d ago

I wonder if he will wear wigs

u/No_Pickle_9804 4d ago

In a cunning twist the guy in the kitchen was actually Elijah

u/plasma_dan 4d ago

if I opened that door and saw Chris I'd run the fuck away

u/penguins-are-ok 5d ago

Chris Keller and Chris Partlow in the same scene ? shieeeeeeeeeeee

2

u/Tigan4e 5d ago

Double plot twist. The guy who opened the door was Elijah's prisoner and next victim.

3

u/jackswastedtalent 5d ago

The proper thing to do here would be for them to ask "who Young Leek be?" as soon as he opened the door.

1

u/thumbles_comic 5d ago

Did he get away tho

u/Traditional_Mood_348 5d ago

Plot twist: nine of them is Elijah. But the guy had a warrant for unpaid tickets

u/TheKobraSnake 4d ago

God, I abhor this show, and the actors are so good at playing the most incompetent people alive. Is there a single episode where they don't make a major mistake, arrest the wrong person or something?

u/Haelstrom101 5d ago

Ain't this The Mentalist? Am I REALLY getting spoiled when I'm ALMOST finished with the series? Frrrr?

u/know-it-mall 5d ago

You are almost finished with the series and you can't tell that none of these characters are in the show?

Put your phone down and pay attention...

-16

u/Haelstrom101 5d ago

I woke up and instantly thought " Hey that's Kim, no?"

If not, then I guess I was just tired. That's what I get for opening Reddit first thing

u/HELLFIRECHRIS 5d ago

Kim isn’t even in the last season.

u/Jedi_hugz 5d ago

Chill, it's Law & Order: SVU. You're good. Haha

Much obliged, I woke up blind apparently

u/HELLFIRECHRIS 5d ago

What would this even spoil ?

u/pannenkoek2309 5d ago

Literally ended almost 12 years ago

Are you going to complain about spoilers from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Frankenstein, Jane Austen too?

Anyway Patrick dies, Teresa flees the country because she was Red John all along, and just before dying Patrick reveals that he never had a wife
