• Trevor Langan : [to Olivia]  You don't return my calls.

  Olivia Benson : Hi. I am so sorry. It has been crazy around here, but I did want to tell you that both the D.A.'s office and ACS have closed their case files.

  Trevor Langan : Not about that. Back when I filed your application for custody, I was under the impression that both of Ellie Porter's parents were dead.

  Olivia Benson : Yeah. That's what she told me.

  Trevor Langan : Ellie lied to you, Olivia. Her mother is alive. Sheila Porter. She hired a PI to track down her daughter. They... they somehow found out about Noah and she has now filed a petition to vacate Noah's adoption.

  Olivia Benson : Wow. Why didn't you corroborate what Ellie told me about her parents?

  Trevor Langan : You're blaming me?

  Olivia Benson : Yeah, I'm blaming you. You didn't do your homework.

  Trevor Langan : Do you know how many Porters there are in New York State?

  Olivia Benson : This woman is in New York?

  Trevor Langan : New Hampshire.

  Olivia Benson : This is unbelievable. The one thing that you had to get right.

  Trevor Langan : You said she had no relatives.

  Olivia Benson : I am not a lawyer.

  Trevor Langan : You have a database.

  Olivia Benson : For police business!

  Trevor Langan : All right, I'm not gonna stand here and defend myself.

  Olivia Benson : You better defend yourself.

  Trevor Langan : We'll fight this, Liv.

  Olivia Benson : If I lose Noah after everything that I've been through...

  Trevor Langan : That is not going to happen, Liv. there is no legal basis to vacate this adoption.

  Olivia Benson : We both know that Judge Linden fast-tracked this adoption for me.

  Trevor Langan : I know. Even so, there is...

  Olivia Benson : Please leave. Please leave.
