SVU S1 E17 “Misleader”
Chris Meloni: This actor is the son of the actor playing his father.
Chris Orbach: He’s not talking about me for once. It’s the guy in the picture.
Benson and Stabler investigate the murder of a woman in her hotel room. She's the daughter-in-law of the president of an ultra-conservative college, Ben Hadley. Munch and Jeffries arrest the culprit behind a string of hotel burglaries, but he's not the killer. Neither is the financial consultant the victim had been hitting on. Elliot discovers Ben Junior wasn't aware his wife was pregnant, and Olivia learns she had a two-year-long affair with Ben Senior. When Cragen confronts the Hadleys with the DNA results, the son confesses to strangling the victim in a jealous rage, unaware her lover was his father.
We're talking about Special Victims Unit season one episode 17 "Misleader." Our returning guest is Nettie Smith from the Saber's Playbook podcast.
This episode is inspired by the real life story of George Roche III.
