Carisi: We're clear.
Fin: They knew we were coming.
Carisi: Hey, super unlocked the back door.
Fin: Let's go ruin their night.
Carisi: So we actually believe this guy?
Fin: That this guy's a bored husband who bought a hooker? Yeah.
Rollins: I can't help wondering, are we wasting our time here? She was a junkie, she relapsed. Maybe she got high and just jumped.

You have no idea what terror is, what complete and utter terror is. You know, they say that your heart beats faster, but it doesn't. It stops. Everything stops.

Rollins: I remember looking out the window and praying my dad would come home. He'd just beat the snot out of my mom and I still wanted him to come home!
Benson: Of course you did, because all children want their parents together.
Rollins: She could have called the sheriff, you know. We had a gun locker in the home. But no, she had to be the martyr. She wasn't happy unless she was.
Benson: Because he made her that way!
Rollins: No, he didn't. She had this weakness in her that started a long time before she even met him.
Benson: How do you know?
Rollins: I know because I know this [grabs something from table] is not this [grabs water bottle]. I don't know how I know, but I know, because I was the one who stared out that window praying that my dad would come home. I was petrified that if he didn't, I'd grow up to be weak like my mom!
Benson: Amanda. That's no reason to hate your mom. Maybe it's time for you to come out from the shadows.
You know, Liv, I love you. And I respect you more than anyone I've ever met in my life. So don't take this the wrong way, but I think sometimes you see victims where there aren't any.
Rollins
