- Olivia Benson: [to Cragen] What does I.A.B. want? That was a good shooting, captain. Elliot was cleared.
- Captain Donald Cragen: On that one. Now Internal Affairs wants to go over his entire jacket.
- Olivia Benson: Let 'em. There's nothing to find.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Liv, If it was his first good shooting, okay, maybe even his second, but it's his sixth. The whole squad is on notice.
- Olivia Benson: So what, so he's the sacrificial lamb? You're just gonna give him up?
- Captain Donald Cragen: You know me better than that. He's like a son to me. I've been pushing as hard as I can. I just don't know how it's gonna shake out.
- Olivia Benson: What does that mean?
- Captain Donald Cragen: That means if Elliot wants to keep his job, he's gonna have to submit to a psych eval, anger management, a lot of hoops.
- Olivia Benson: And he'll tell them to go to hell.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: [the suspect will be taken to a hospital for collecting forensics] It's not a check-up, it's a procedure.
- Roberto Distasio: On the word of a maid?
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: [closes cell door] My grandmother was a maid.
- Captain Donald Cragen: [to Fin about Distasio] You and Liv take him out the side exit. No cameras, no perp walk.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: No doubt. We're professionals, Captain.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: Elliot's probably afraid to talk to you, Liv. Doesn't want you to try to talk him out of it.
- Olivia Benson: Out of what? He's not gonna quit.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: He shot a teenage girl. He may not ever wanna put his gun on again.
- Olivia Benson: [to Miriam] Why did you lie to me?
- Miriam Deng: Because I am not a prostitute. I was gang-raped. They still have my husband's blood on them when they attack me. I beg them to kill me after, but they said no. They wanted something sweet to come back to. I went to the police. They call me a whore. They say I broke Sharia law and they will stone me to death in front of my children.
- Olivia Benson: Is there anyone who can confirm this story?
- Miriam Deng: This is not a story. It is why I come here, but you will believe what you will believe.
- 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.
- Olivia Benson: [about Miriam] She brought it on herself. She lied repeatedly.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: She did whatever she had to do to get asylum.
- Olivia Benson: Maybe. Her testimony about the gang rape... you know, it's one thing to be consistent, it's another to quote verbatim.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: Everybody's ripping into her. What's up with you? You telling me you don't think he's good for it?
- 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.
