Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Part one of a two‑part story follows the team as they investigate a sexual assault on a 15‑year‑old boy, but the victim's refusal to cooperate hampers the case. At the same time, Rollins encounters her former boyfriend, rekindling their past connection.

Man Up is a programme presented in an episode format, classified under the genre of a single‑part story. It forms part of a larger series, but this particular entry stands on its own as an individual instalment. The first half of the two‑part narrative follows the investigative team as they take on a case involving a fifteen‑year‑old boy who has been sexually assaulted. Their efforts are hampered by the youngster’s refusal to cooperate with the police, meaning the detectives must navigate the inquiry without the victim’s direct input. Amid the professional pressures, one of the officers, Rollins, finds herself drawn back into a personal situation when she reconnects with an ex‑partner. This reunion adds a layer of private tension that runs alongside the official investigation. As the episode draws to a close, the unresolved nature of the assault case and the renewed contact between Rollins and her former lover set the stage for the continuation in the second part. The story leaves several questions open, promising further development when the next episode airs.
