"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" Scorched Earth (TV Episode 2011) - Stephanie March as ADA Alexandra 'Alex' Cabot

Michael Cutter : It's not going to get that far. The new D.A. wants to drop the charges.

Alexandra Cabot : All I ever heard about was how Mike Cutter was a crusader for justice. What happened to you?

Michael Cutter : If we press a case that we can't win, we just tell the next victim that she's better off staying silent.

Alexandra Cabot : If we let Distasio walk, we send a message to the rest of the world that in New York, the law doesn't apply to the rich and the powerful. We are here to even those scales, not cut and run.
Alexandra Cabot : [to Cragen] I heard about the shooting. Is Stabler coming back?

Captain Donald Cragen : That's up to him.
Alexandra Cabot : The maid from Buenos Aires just moved to an exclusive gated community in Cordoba and won't return our calls.

Olivia Benson : For what it's worth, Miriam says that she's telling the truth now, that she was a victim of Sharia law.

Michael Cutter : Doesn't matter.

Alexandra Cabot : What do you mean?

Michael Cutter : I don't see a win here.

Alexandra Cabot : I do. When the jury hears her story, they are gonna come back guilty on all counts.

Olivia Benson : She's heartbreaking, but it doesn't mean that she's telling the truth.

Alexandra Cabot : Olivia.
Captain Donald Cragen : Alex, welcome back to the concrete jungle.

Alexandra Cabot : Thank you.

Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : How was the Congo?

Alexandra Cabot : Pray for them.
