Law & Order: SVU
Thursdays 9:00 PM on NBCLaw & Order: SVU Quotes
Rollins: What did you do?
Mariel: You're too late. She's dead. I killed her.
Dawn: Sometimes I would pretend he hurt me worse than he did, then my mom would let me stay home from school. Just the two of us.
Olivet: You taught yourself how to manipulate authority. Self-preservation.
Benson: I'm just gonna be honest with you. These medical records show that you weren't looking for doctors to help Mariel get better. You were looking for doctors who would agree with you that she was sick.
Dawn: No. I'm a good mother. I was raised in an ugly, abusive household and I am blessed to have a daughter to love.
Benson: That isn't love! That's what you wanted, not what he wanted! I mean, what she wanted.
Benson: What does Barba say?
Rollins: He doesn't want to pursue it.
Benson: Okay. But there's something else.
Rollins: This mother... you know, last week Jessie had a fever and I was concerned but I didn't rush her to the ER, and I've seen you with Noah when he's sick. Granted, this mother's been through a lot, but I don't know. Something doesn't feel right.
Carisi: So do we call Liv?
Fin: No, we don't call Liv. She's still off duty.
Carisi: So what do we do?
Fin: We take his statement and we wait for the rape kit. Then we take it to Barba and we find out if we got a case. You cool with that plan?
Mariel: Am I in trouble?
Rollins: Oh honey, no. We just want to find out what happened between you and Cody.
[Mother runs in] Mother: Honey, are you okay?
Rollins: Detective Rollins, SVU.
Mother [to Vanessa]: You called the police???
Vanessa: We had to.
Mother: Mariel, honey, what happened?
Mariel: Mommy, Cody raped me.
Olivia: I am his mother.
Sheila: Why? Because a judge signed a piece of paper saying you are? That doesn't make you his mother.
Olivia: Actually, Sheila, it does.
You know what the problem is with this job? What good do we really do? We come in after it's already happened with the broom and the mop and we clean up the mess. You know what would be really special? If one time we could come in before there was anything to clean up.
Olivia
Barba: Could it have anything to do with the job?
Rollins: With this job, it's not if but when, and with all the years she put in the job there's a lot of grudges.
Finn: A kidnapper with a carseat?
Rollins: He came prepared.
Sonny: Why is he not fighting him?
Finn: Maybe he's not a stranger.
Olivia: Do you think anyone was following you?
Sheila: I don't know.
Olivia: Think Sheila, think.
Sheila: I'm trying to! It's not like I wanted this to happen.
Olivia: No one is saying that.
Sheila: You don't have to. Your eyes say everything.
Finn: I don't think that's gonna happen, Chief.
Dodds: She's emotional, she's liable to make rash decisions.
Finn: You wanna see emotional? Wait til I tell her this.
