"LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT"

"ANCHOR"

12/09/2009 (09:00PM - 10:00PM) (Wednesday) : THE "ANCHOR BABIES" OF IMMIGRANT FAMILIES ARE REPEATEDLY BEING MURDERED, AND THE CASE PUTS IMMIGRATION SUPPORTERS AGAINST THE RADICAL FANS OF A HOT-HEADED TALK SHOW HOST. When two young girls are similarly murdered a little over a month apart, Detective Odafin Tutuola (Ice-T) decides to investigate the gruesome crimes. After a third killing, Fin discovers that all three children were "anchor babies" of immigrant families, and reaches out to the Center of Immigrant Services. After sifting through the Center's hate mail, and witnessing a fight between immigration lawyer Randall Carver (guest star John Larroquette) and Joe Thagard (guest star Thomas Sadoski), a fanatical follower of a xenophobic talk show host, Fin begins to narrow in on the killer. Also starring: Mariska Hargitay (Detective Olivia Benson), Chris Meloni (Detective Elliot Stabler), Richard Belzer (Detective John Munch), Dann Florek (Captain Donald Cragen), Tamara Tunie (Dr. Melinda Warner), and B.D. Wong (Dr. George Huang).
