Captain Olivia Benson is reaching out to her former partner Detective Elliot Stabler.
Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni are back at each other's side in a new promo for the upcoming “Law & Order: SVU” and “Organized Crime” two-hour crossover airing on May 13, TV Insider reported.
In the promo, Stabler is helping Benson track down the people responsible for her brother’s death.
"My brother Simon was killed. I need your help," Benson says to Stabler.
“I’m standing right here, Captain,” Stabler says as the two begin their work together.

In another clip, Stabler expresses his dedication to aiding Benson by saying, "I am hunting the person who is responsible."
The promo also includes an upcoming confrontation between Stabler and mobster Richard Wheatley, played by Dylan McDermott.
“You want to come at me? Come at me,” Richard says as he seems to interrupt a conversation between his ex-wife Angela, played by Tamara Taylor, and Stabler.
This is the second crossover episode following the April 1 premiere which launched Meloni's spinoff "Law & Order: Organized Crime."
Hargitay has subsequently appeared a several "Organized Crime" episodes.
Fans can also expect to see more crossovers in the future.
“These two shows live in the same fictional but very-grounded universe. And we never forget that those other characters and those other stories exist,” creator Dick Wolf previously said, per the outlet.
“When we tell a story about Stabler in Benson’s world or Benson in Stabler’s world, and things happen that affect their characters, we don’t just forget about it," added showrunner Ilene Chaiken.

In an emotional episode last week of the franchise spinoff, the former partners were brought together after Stabler’s children enlisted Benson’s help to have an intervention for the detective, whose behavior got increasingly erratic after the death of his wife.
Stabler snapped at Benson after she expressed concern, only to break down and say “I love you” to her. But whether or not it was a romantic admission was left unclear, as Stabler followed up by saying he loves “all of you” to Benson and his children.
Airing on May 13th, the crossover action starts at 9pm ET on "Law & Order: SVU" with "Law & Order: Organized Crime" following at 10pm ET on NBC.
