Detective Sam Bishop is a homicide detective partnered with Elliot Stabler briefly when tracking international pedophiles.
History[]
When Stabler was investigating Meredith McGrath's rape-murder, Bishop was on the scene at her husband Roger's murder. Originally, the two struggled to cooperate, keeping to their investigations in their assigned crimes and precincts.
After Stabler returned from the Czech Republic to rescue an American girl and arrest the German predator having kidnapped and sexually abused her, the two meet again when the resources they both found in their investigations lead to major ring-tracking breaks the U.S. Attorney General's office was looking for for years, being commended by Claudia Williams herself.
Bishop accompanies Stabler in arresting the murderer, Nicholas Taylor, and rescuing his daughter, Amy, who was repeatedly sexually abused by Taylor since her early youth. At Taylor's interrogation, Bishop and Stabler tell Taylor he won't get a deal for rapes and murders. The two then go for drinks and lament about the worst of their job, despite the justice they fight for. Regardless they part on good terms.(SVU: "Pandora")
