Quotes
-
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Two victims dosed with DMT?
Olivia Benson : Meghan Gale and Jane Doe. She was found two weeks ago, 6:00 a.m., wandering, wearing a sheet by the fountain at Rockefeller Center.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : How did we miss it?
Olivia Benson : The unis thought that she was homeless, an EDP. So they took her to the psych ward. And she hasn't uttered a coherent sentence since. Doctor says that she stays awake for days at a time. She might be afraid to sleep.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : We have no idea who she is?
Olivia Benson : Oh, no. There's no ID, there's no DNA, there's no missing persons. Now, the medical report shows signs of sexual assault, and from the tox screen, she was taking prescription antipsychotics.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : What are we looking at here?
Olivia Benson : It's a man-woman team who pick very young victims, take them to some group house, drug with DMT, rape them, and then... and then dump them in some public space.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Have you ever seen something like this before? Could it be some kind of cult?
Olivia Benson : I don't know. I mean, Meghan says that she remembers an older man talking to the group. She called him a wizard.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Until we have more answers, let's try and keep the details out of the press.
Olivia Benson : [checking her phone] Well, we may not be able to. Another victim just turned up. Central Park, off 5th Avenue.

Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Machine elves, Swedish trolls? So this girl was also drugged with DMT?
Olivia Benson : A huge dose, and ketamine.
Amanda Rollins : Both rape kits came back with semen from multiple donors. No hits.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : No criminal records, not DNA savvy. Led by a wizard? A king?
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, who has unlimited access to DMT, tougher to get than cocaine and meth.
Olivia Benson : You know, shamans in South America use it to access a higher dimension.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : So our wizard gets DMT through a religious group or medical research?
Olivia Benson : We're checking clinical trials to see if they've had any of the drugs stolen.

Amanda Rollins : Freja remembered passing a huge stone woman. Maybe a hallucination.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Or not. What about the Bust of Sylvette? The Picasso statue.
Olivia Benson : By the I.M. Pei Towers. Okay, we'll start a canvass.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Why don't you put Freja in a car, drive her around, see what comes back?
Olivia Benson : Um, uh, she's... she's actually quite traumatized.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : I won't tell you how to do your job, Captain.
Olivia Benson : Thank you.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : But I know you'll be sensitive to her experience, and to our needs. We need a break.

Deputy Chief Christian Garland : So, Adler's a false prophet. To paraphrase Joseph Campbell, the mystic swims in the same water in which the psychotic drowns.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Even so, his students still believe everything he feeds them.
Olivia Benson : And the daughter thinks he's a saint. The mother died when she was three, so he raised her.
Amanda Rollins : Something happened to Adler. Twenty years ago, he was one of the foremost authorities in liberation psychiatry.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Okay, well, whatever alternate reality he's in, this reality, he's guilty of either conspiracy to rape or sex trafficking.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : I agree. Charge him with both.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : How? Who am I gonna put on the stand? Caleb? Meghan and her elves?
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Charge Anais. Flip her.
Amanda Rollins : She won't turn on him. They're sutured.
Katriona Tamin : [on her phone] Or maybe that's just another alternate reality he's created. I found a marriage certificate. Adler married Kathleen Bell in '94, but no obituary, no death certificate.
Olivia Benson : Well, if she's not deceased... then where is she?
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Find out.

Odafin Tutuola : [after Dr. Adler's mental break in the interrogation room] I've got an ambulance on the way.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Could this be an elaborate act?
Olivia Benson : If you ask me, he's just escaped.
