00:00Law & Order, Thursday.
00:01It's back, baby!
00:03My pledge is simple.
00:04I will do everything in my power to keep you safe.
00:08Hi. I'm Captain Benson. Can I help you?
00:11Why do you think that our shows resonate with audiences?
00:15We both work on shows that are seeing
00:17our criminal justice system at work.
00:19Just get me enough to arrest Liv. I'll take it from there.
00:21I thought it was just on a regular cop show,
00:23and then it started to sink in. It's a special show.
00:26I think it's always interesting when you meet somebody
00:28who comes up and says, this is related to my own life.
00:32Captain Benson, SVU.
00:33I've had the privilege of connecting
00:36on such a personal level, having fans come up and say,
00:40thank you for telling their story.
00:42You're going to go in there, and you're going to tell him
00:45your truth. You're going to take your life back.
00:47We are doing something that's more than just entertaining.
00:50Exactly.
00:51We bring hope into people's lives.
00:52I'm your new lieutenant.
00:54NYPD, do not move!
00:56I love that this show can stand out
00:58as a real conversation starter.
00:59To be on a show where we get to invest in women's stories,
01:02I think is investing in progress.
01:04I grew up watching the show, and it really empowered me.
01:08It's a lot of responsibility.
01:10You have to take it seriously.
01:11It is something that is important and applies to the world.
01:14This office needs to be above reproach.
01:17We have to send a message.
01:18I think the show has shed a beautiful light,
01:21because these crimes thrive in darkness,
01:24and it's the light that heals them.
