Carisi: We use our discretion with the rich and the connected all the time -- why not here?
Philip: You didn't answer my question.
Lead Prosecutor: Let him finish.
Carisi: Sometimes justice is about compassion. The question you should be asking yourselves is what kind of office we want to be.

Here's the problem. How is this jury supposed to know if this is the truth or an excuse for murder?

Carisi

Benson: They won't give Tori a deal.
Rollins: If I hear the word optics one more time...

I cannot charge a black man with three homicides and cut a deal with the white woman who put it all in motion.

Prosecutor

Benson: So Tori's telling the truth. She was trafficked and she was scared.
Carisi: Yeah, but in New York that's not a defense to triple homicide.

Carisi: Can they really be this stupid?
Fin: These idiots are cloud-chasing. The dummies want to be famous so bad they do our job for us.

Benson: Why us instead of homicide?
Carisi: Because she has bruises and multiple STDs.
Benson: So is she a suspect or a victim?
