Quotes
-
Olivia Benson : [When Olivia visits Dr. Warner as she's doing the autopsy on Ryan Bedford] Melinda...
Dr. Melinda Warner : I can't talk to you about this.
Olivia Benson : Do you know what happened?
Dr. Melinda Warner : This is Ryan's spleen. He bled to death internally 'cause it was ruptured.
Olivia Benson : How?
Dr. Melinda Warner : Only way to rupture a spleen is by blunt force trauma.
Olivia Benson : Elliot did not beat him.
Dr. Melinda Warner : I'm sorry. The facts say otherwise.
Olivia Benson : Melinda, you know Elliot. You know that he's innocent.
Dr. Melinda Warner : I know what this dead body tells me. I looked at Ryan's brain, heart, and lungs. Everything was normal. I wanna exonerate Elliot as badly as you do, but the only explanation for Ryan's death is the ruptured spleen.
Olivia Benson : So how are you gonna rule?
Dr. Melinda Warner : The cause of death is internal bleeding. The manner of death is homicide.
Olivia Benson : Elliot Stabler could never murder anyone. And if you can't prove that, then I will.
