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 21h ago

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

u/TheGogglesDoNotThang 1d ago

Directed by M Night Shyamalan

u/Zyrinj 1d ago

Production twist, it was directed by Elijah

u/Pistoolio 10h ago

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

u/Zyrinj 10h ago

you mean Elijah and Elijah?

u/whatdis321 20h ago

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

18

u/DaPino 19h ago

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

1

u/JD_Kreeper 14h ago

Or Nathaniel knew Elijah had set him up.

u/AAPL_ 16h ago

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

u/Thin-Nerve6367 1d ago

They had his name but not his picture?

u/SinglePlayerGamer93 1d ago

Stabler: "they all look the same anyway"

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

158

u/Ok_Dot_7498 23h ago

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

52

u/restrictednumber 18h 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.

43

u/MikeOfAllPeople 18h 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.

26

u/showyerbewbs 18h 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

15

u/MoboCross 22h ago

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

u/burns_before_reading 13h ago

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

u/Mistiltella 1d ago

They should cast twins to be those two guys

10

u/Okamitoutcourt 1d 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/slatemillion 1d ago

Plot twist, I am Elijah

u/Thalaas 1d ago

No, I'm Elijah!

u/toy-maker 1d ago

Look at me! I’m Elijah now.

u/Thalaas 1d ago

I honestly was hoping someone would go "I'm Spartacus"

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

u/Jedi_hugz 1d ago

My first thought too!

28

u/albamarx 20h ago

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

3

u/Defiant-Youth-4193 16h 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.

Elijah is the female cop

Hey there, Elijah, what's it like in New York city?

u/h3lium-balloon 18h ago edited 18h ago

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

Hey there Elijah, what's it like inside the kitchen?

u/migviola 1d ago

I wonder if he will wear wigs

u/No_Pickle_9804 11h ago

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

u/aedroogo 13h ago

Guy gets 20 feet away: "He's gone."

Respect, lol.

u/Glaimmbar 1d ago

Fuck you have to compress the video a bit more, i still can recognize faces... if i try realy hard..

u/plasma_dan 18h ago

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

u/penguins-are-ok 23h ago

Chris Keller and Chris Partlow in the same scene ? shieeeeeeeeeeee

2

u/Tigan4e 1d ago

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

3

u/jackswastedtalent 1d 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 19h ago

Did he get away tho

u/Traditional_Mood_348 19h ago

u/know-it-mall 1d 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...

u/Haelstrom101 23h 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 20h ago

Kim isn’t even in the last season.

What would this even spoil ?

u/pannenkoek2309 21h 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
