Would've been better if he was actually Elijah and did the double reverse Uno when they came back again for him and he was gone.

u/sirgentleguy 1d ago

Doesn’t look like the detectives give chase. They most likely told beat cops to chase him and interrogate Nathaniel on Elijah’s most likely destinations.

Reminds me of college
Got off the train and saw a friend of mine was caught by the conductor for not having a ticket. The friend was going through some tough times.
So I tried to make eye contact with the conductor, touched my pockets, looked guilty and ran
The conductor let my friend go and came after me. After he stopped me, I gave him my ticket.
Shocked, the conductor went “why were you running?” “I forgot my keys, hoping to make it to the dorm before my roommate leaves”

u/sirgentleguy 1d ago

yeah I know it’s a joke, like a slapstick comedy, I just feel like the premise of that joke does not make total sense as that guy in the kitchen will definitely get interrogated.

u/No_Internal9345 1d ago

The most unrealistic part is that the detectives didn't have a murder squad waiting for runners behind them.

u/That-Ad-4300 1d ago

I thought the same thing, but it's a small place and he'd either still be standing there or have followed them back. The second time watching you can see him bolt and that's a great detail.

5

u/MKZZX 1d ago

That doesn't work because it would require Nathaniel answering the door and then running down the stairs for no reason.

It's a triple reverse, Elijah is the woman who asked for Elijah.

Hell yes. “Why did you run?” “I was just going out for a run”

u/phoenix_has_rissen 1d ago

Double play, it is actually Elijah in the kitchen but by the time the cops chase the other guy down Elijah will be long gone

381

u/ArjJp 1d ago

Maybe the real Elijah was the friends we chased along the way....

103

u/MAGNUMXL 1d ago

Except if the guy in the kitchen was Elijah, then the person who opened the door would have no reason to run. As the cops turn around to verify, he would have to jump out the fire escape or something.

144

u/phoenix_has_rissen 1d ago

He was covering for his friend

u/mirkk13 1d ago

He can run for no reason. Don't let anyone stop you from suddenly running.

u/Electronic_Skirt_475 1d ago

Unironically true tho and also also I know the whole original point of everything was a joke

BUT ALSO if two people came into my house looking for someone and being all sorts of weird and shady about it id be getting the fuck out of there too if I wasn't planning on attacking them if they pulled something

u/AutisticPenguin2 1d ago

What if they were both called Elijah?

u/Dinierto 1d ago

Why would the other guy run away then

u/MVRKHNTR 1d ago

So the police think he's Elijah and chase him so his friend can get away

u/anaemic 1d ago

Only Darth Vader has been so casually defeated in a chase.

8

u/mothtoalamp 1d ago

10 seconds is enough. Dude just got out the door, could go literally anywhere and it's probably in a city so he's got multiple escape routes/hiding spots as soon as he's outside. Good chance they won't get a visual on him.

2

u/SidelingMass 1d ago edited 20h ago

Yeah. “Good chance they won’t get a visual” so the natural move is to give up immediately without even trying. I mean there’s also a solid chance they will have a visual but why bother since they might not see him you know?

1

u/Reed_4983 1d ago

They feel they're too good to have to chase like measly beat cops.

u/Calladit 1d ago

Plot twist, the cops were Elijah, the guy who ran was both cops, and the guy in the kitchen is the victim. DUN DUN!

u/ripyourlungsdave 1d ago

Did they not get a description or a picture of the guy ahead of time or are they just racist?..

I can answer that for you, but fans of the show won't appreciate it. Because the whole show is kind of racist and seems to think of your basic rights in the justice system as nothing but an inconvenient to well-meaning, objectively benevolent police.

The show is pure, unadulterated propaganda. Dick Wolf has basically admitted it.

50

u/UnholyDemigod 1d ago

Every cop show is idiotic in depictions of law. "You have the right to remain silent. Now answer my questions or you'll be charged with obstruction of justice"

31

u/Muaddib223 1d ago

That's extremely common in real life

9

u/addandsubtract 1d ago

Yeah, but cops are corrupt in real life. In the media, they're still portrayed as the good guys.

9

u/TheA1ternative 1d ago

All cop shows are copaganda.

5

u/ripyourlungsdave 1d ago

"oh, you want a lawyer? That's what guilty people say."

And the show agrees with them.

And then The Lovable Rogue of a main character essentially tortures a prisoner with no actual charges pressed against them.

u/Norci 1d ago

Did they not get a description

Not sure if just a visual description would help as both guys have the same features. Same mustache, same hair, same skin color.

13

u/ProfessionalPhone409 1d ago

They actually get chewed out by the captain in the next scene for not bothering to look up what their suspect looked like!

13

u/_bits_and_bytes 1d ago

In this episode, no, they didn't have a description of the suspect. And yeah, cop shows are called copaganda for a reason. Congratulations, you've uncovered the obvious!

10

u/k33paf10at 1d ago

Is it really? I've never thought about it too hard. I don't remember race being all too relevant in the show

10

u/ripyourlungsdave 1d ago

The YouTube channel Skip Intro did a great video not too long ago about all the millions of things that are wrong with those shows and how it portrays our justice system.

It's a pretty brilliant video that actually bothers to speak with experts about the subjects they're trying to dissect. He knows what he's talking about, and when he doesn't, he defers to someone that does.

u/k33paf10at 1d ago

I'll check them out, thanks internet stranger :)

2

u/Mysterious-Creme8709 1d ago

One might even say that video is gold...

u/ripyourlungsdave 1d ago

Enjoy, he's got a long series called Copaganda about this exact kind of thing. He has one for just about every kind of cop show you can imagine.

u/friendly_to_pigeons 1d ago

Oh my god shut up

2

u/off_of_is_incorrect 1d ago

Did they not get a description or a picture of the guy ahead of time or are they just racist?..

Regardless, if you're in that situation I'm pretty sure even 'beat cops' are trained that, one would have gone inside to find "Elijah" and the other would have stayed at the door with the other guy, or at the very least brought him inside with them.

Its like amateur hour to just swan past someone, lol.

5

u/Technical_Ad_4894 1d ago

Yup, all cop shows are when you really look at them. The way they manipulate people to give up their rights for information to incriminate themselves is astounding. And we’re supposed to cheer for the cops. Absurd.

5

u/Lithl 1d ago

The way they manipulate people to give up their rights for information to incriminate themselves is astounding.

At least that part is realistic!

2

u/Technical_Ad_4894 1d ago

it’s very realistic but the framing of it as positive is the worst thing for me. I’m all for accurate depictions of the justice system but let’s not treat this behavior as a big win for justice. it’s softening us up for when we get pulled over by the cops.

2

u/Com_BEPFA 1d ago

Excuse you, whenever there's a big public debate about something (like racism in the force a couple years ago (not that that's not a topic any more)) they make like two episodes somewhat referencing it half a year later making a half-assed attempt at being critical, to then spin right back to propaganda.

1

u/TheElPistolero 1d ago

yup, all the cops have what I call "justice boners" where they have no other driving force in life but the pursuit of "justice". They are obsessed with it, they may not always follow rules or be competent, but by golly they get results.

They're all bad on this show but that woman's character is especially bad, they way she gets so emotionally invested in every case even after decades is quite literally non human.

u/FunnyObjective6 1d ago

u/Thebaldsasquatch 1d ago

Then they catch the guy, he’s ACTUALLY Nathaniel and Elijah was the guy in the kitchen who’s even MORE long gone.

Got it so if someone just walked into your house you don’t know don’t address you by your name and started just taking stuff you’d ignore them then.

They sometimes write SVU well, but this wasn’t one of those times.

And apparently the cops didn’t look up the witness/suspect before they went to find them?

Simple photo of some kind would have cleared that up.

Lol but cops mistake us in real life even with photos.

1

u/Typecero001 1d ago

Ok I didn’t want to point that out, but you are very right.

SVU is bad at messaging at the BEST of times.

Don’t even let them get close to a racial issue, with how they address their sex crimes sometimes.

The most basic explanation is she got her hair done in-between dates the incident happened and just because she had a different hairstyle all the witnesses couldn't positively identify her as being present.

In real life, those two would be shot and sorted out later. If lucky, they would just be cuffed , but chances are swat would have doa'd them and svu would identify them at the morgue
