The episode's plot sees Detectives Elliot Stabler Christopher Meloni and Olivia Benson Mariska Hargitay investigating a caller who impersonates a police officer and asks people to perform criminal acts. The detectives learn that the caller is audio engineer Merritt Rook Robin Williams , a man who opposes authority due to a tragic event in his past. After Rook seizes an opportunity to kidnap Benson, he asks Stabler to inflict pain on her or watch him do it. It was inspired by the Mount Washington strip search phone call scam , the Milgram experiment , and the New York performance art group Improv Everywhere 's "Frozen Grand Central" event. Williams was cast after his friend Richard Belzer John Munch , approached the producers and told them Williams would like to appear on the show. Executive producer Neal Baer stated that they only developed the story after learning that Williams was available. Critical response was mixed, with some reporters branding the plot implausible, unsatisfying and inane. Others enjoyed the episode, saying it was intense and chilling. The manager Dwight Lomax Scott Adsit explains that he received a call from a Detective Milgram , who told him to detain Trini and strip-search her for a stolen wallet. Stabler informs a devastated Dwight that there is no Detective Milgram. The detectives learn that the same caller has struck before, and they identify him as audio engineer Merritt Rook Robin Williams. Rook uses his vocal skills to give himself a false alibi, but he is soon found out and charged with conspiracy to commit sexual assault. Rook chooses to represent himself at his trial, where he encourages the jury to question authority. Rook is found not guilty and he goes on to organize various public demonstrations urging people to question and defy authority.
