Dann Florek: Captain Donald 'Don' Cragen

Quotes 

• John Munch : It's my catch, Captain. I got it covered.

  Donald Cragen : You're still the primary, but that doesn't mean you don't need backup. Now, the only agenda here is catching this guy before he kills again. Got it?

  John Munch : Got it.

  Donald Cragen : Good. Now, where's your partner?

  John Munch : He's with a couple of witnesses and a sketch artist.

  Donald Cragen : Well, while you're waiting, why don't you fill Alex in.

  John Munch : Mind if I get my morning tea first?

  Alexandra Cabot : Not at all.

• John Munch : Kern's E-Z pass statements show periodic travel along the same route dating back to last June. From Manhattan, he goes across the Triborough Bridge onto the Thruway, across the Tappen Zee, north to Utica where he exits onto Route 12 north.

  Odafin Tutuola : Credit cards show him gassing up his '92 Pathfinder along Routes 12 and 11 all the way up to Walden Falls, a pit stop of a town twenty miles northeast of Watertown.

  John Munch : Two days later, he takes the same route back to the city.

  Odafin Tutuola : Seven women went missing within a day of each of these trips.

  Elliot Stabler : You got a lot of unspoiled wilderness up there.

  Donald Cragen : Well, there's only one way to find him. Munch, Fin, pack your bags. You're going on a road trip.

• John Munch : Bartender at Rusty's said Taggart ducked out around 11:00 the night of the abduction.

  Odafin Tutuola : Gets him to the diner with time to spare.

  Donald Cragen : Well, what about the 4x4?

  John Munch : Nothing registered to him.

  Odafin Tutuola : Doesn't mean he didn't steal one.

  Donald Cragen : Well, get all the witnesses down here for a lineup, including Sarah Kimmel.

  John Munch : It's been almost a year.

  Donald Cragen : He held her in that warehouse for two days. I doubt she's gonna forget his face.

• Donald Cragen : According to Munch, the abductor fits the Stalker's MO to a "T".

  Elliot Stabler : He goes after petite women, uses chloroform to subdue 'em, and then carts them off in a dark 4x4.

  Alexandra Cabot : How long has it been since his last attack?

  Olivia Benson : Almost a year.

  Elliot Stabler : Yeah, we thought he'd gone underground or maybe just left the area.

• Donald Cragen : You're late.

  John Munch : I was up all night interviewing witnesses.

  Donald Cragen : D.A. wants an update on the Bowery Stalker.

  John Munch : Can't wait for the report?

  Alexandra Cabot : She's made this case a top priority. Any warrants, lab work, anything you need.

  John Munch : Why all the sudden attention?

  Alexandra Cabot : She knows how elusive he's been. She thought you could use some help.

  John Munch : Because I didn't nail him last time?

  Donald Cragen : Oh, come on, John. Nobody's blaming you. We're all on the same team here.

  John Munch : Then why did you start the team meeting without me?

  Elliot Stabler : We were just leaving.

  Donald Cragen : No, no, no. Stay. I want you and Olivia to help with the canvass.
