- Detective John Munch: [trying to book several female cult members] Once again, can I have your name and any aliases?
- [she refuses to answer]
- Detective John Munch: I hereby christen you Jane Doe number three.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [after Melanie shoots Abraham to death] Melanie, it's okay. It's okay, honey. It's okay. Put it down. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
- Melanie Cramer: That was a lie.
- Detective Olivia Benson: What was?
- Melanie Cramer: He said he was greater than God, but nobody is.
- George Huang: What's the first thing you remember seeing after entering the house?
- Elliot Stabler: Dead bodies.
- George Huang: Can you be more specific?
- Elliot Stabler: A bunch of dead bodies.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [to Sarah] Sarah was Abraham's wife in the Bible, right? From what I recall, Sarah whored out her servant to her husband so that he could have a child. Is that why you let Abraham have sex with your daughter? Of course, your Abraham is different because he likes to have children with his own children.
- Cindy Cramer: Melanie is not his daughter.
- Donald Cragen: And we're supposed to believe you now because you've been so forthcoming?
- Cindy Cramer: Her father abandoned us when she was a baby. Abraham took care of us.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Abraham raped your daughter.
- Cindy Cramer: I don't expect you to understand.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Don't try to tell me for a minute that you believe this is right because I know you don't. You took Melanie to the hospital. You called us to see if Abraham had murdered your son.
- Cindy Cramer: No, no.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Your son was shot along with all these other children. Those women out there might be brainwashed, but you're not. You know exactly what he is: a murderer and a child rapist.
- Cindy Cramer: That's not true.
- Detective Olivia Benson: You knew who he was and you let this happen. You let all those children die.
- Cindy Cramer: It was God's will.
- Detective Olivia Benson: No, Sarah. It was your will! You can blame God and you can blame Abraham, but we all know the truth. You did this. You sat there and you watched as a man raped one of your children and then murdered the other. You might as well have killed them yourself!
- Donald Cragen: Olivia!
- Detective Olivia Benson: He has one of your children and he has your unborn grandchild.
- Cindy Cramer: This is a test. I won't be tempted.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [tosses a wallet on the table in front of Cindy] Do you recognize that? Cindy?
- Sarah's Attorney: Her name is Sarah, Detective. Get your cases straight.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Belonged to John, your husband. The one that you said abandoned you 10 years ago.
- [Cindy picks up the wallet and looks at it]
- Detective Olivia Benson: This is what's left of him. He was shot in the back of the head and buried in the wall in the house where you lived.
- Sarah's Attorney: Are you accusing my client of murder?
- Detective Olivia Benson: No. Just of being stupid. And gullible. You know, it's interesting how Abraham only surrounds himself with women and girls. There's no men anywhere. I wonder if he didn't like the competition.
- Cindy Cramer: [teary-eyed; shakes her head] No.
- Detective Olivia Benson: No? He killed your husband. The father of your child. What exactly does he have to do for you to stop defending him?
- Cindy Cramer: Abraham told me that John fell in love with another woman and I believe him.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [holds an evidence bag that has John's wedding ring in front of Cindy] He was wearing it when he died.
- [throws the bag onto the table; Cindy picks it up and starts to cry]
- Sarah's Attorney: What do you want from her?
- Detective Olivia Benson: Abraham was last seen at Grand Central Station. He's going to wherever he's keeping Melanie. Now, she's gonna have her baby, he's gonna get his hands on her trust fund and then your daughter is dead. Where are they?
- Sarah's Attorney: What are you offering?
- Detective Olivia Benson: A chance to do the right thing for Melanie. Something you've never done her entire life.
- Sarah's Attorney: That's not good enough.
- Cindy Cramer: [as she still clutches her husband's wedding ring] Up north. This warehouse.
- Reg: Oh, my God.
- Detective John Munch: God's not gonna help you, Reg. He doesn't like fraud committed in his name.
- Donald Cragen: Elliot, can you step in here?
- [Stabler goes into Cragen's office]
- Donald Cragen: I'm referring you to psych services.
- Elliot Stabler: I just talked to them.
- Donald Cragen: We've determined you require something ongoing.
- Elliot Stabler: [to Dr. Huang] What do you want me to do? You want me to cry? Is that it?
- George Huang: If you won't take care of yourself, then you have to allow us...
- Elliot Stabler: If you stayed out of my head and let me do my job, there wouldn't be a problem!
- Donald Cragen: You're out sick until psych says you can return. It's a week, at most. Take it. And you don't need to be carrying a gun around right now.
- [Stabler places his gun on Cragen's desk and leaves]
- Melanie Cramer: [to Olivia] I'm not talking to you.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Melanie, I know that you think that I want to hurt you and your family, but that is not true.
- Melanie Cramer: Just go away.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Your mother was asking about a little boy. Is that your little brother? Is that Samuel?
- [Melanie holds her magazine close to her, but Olivia pushes the magazine away]
- Detective Olivia Benson: Melanie, do you know what happened the night that you came to the hospital?
- Melanie Cramer: I'm not listening.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Something terrible. Abraham is a liar. He killed your little brother. He killed your friends. He might kill your mom. Now, I can protect her, but I need you to tell me where she is.
- Melanie Cramer: Mom said Abraham was taking them to a safe place.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: All of the victims have the same father except the shooter.
- Detective John Munch: Abraham, father of many. Had children with his own children. Now we know why.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: Why what?
- Detective John Munch: Abraham's nothing more than an incestuous pedophile. You kill the victims, nobody can testify against you.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: There's still one victim left: the 12-year-old in the hospital who's having his baby.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [to Abraham] Tell me where Melanie is.
- Abraham: How can you stand it? How can you invite this depravity into your mind, your body, your soul? It will kill you. Every horror, every torment afflicts your body like a cancer. It's devouring you and you can't see it. Open your eyes.
- Detective Olivia Benson: You know, I thought that you were just another con artist, seeking out people who were starved for anything that would give them meaning in their life. They're easy marks. You talk about God, the apocalypse and they give you all their money, but you're much more pathetic than that. You actually believe your own hype. You've conned yourself.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [to Melanie] You know, if you want, I can also try to find the father of your baby. Can you tell me his name?
- Melanie Cramer: Abraham.
- Detective Olivia Benson: And who's Abraham?
- Melanie Cramer: He's my husband.
- Donald Cragen: CSU found an old tunnel under the house leading to a vacant building on the next block. So far, that's where the trail ends. Abraham Ophion has no known criminal record, though it is likely a fake name. We do know eight years ago he tried to obtain tax exempt status for his group, the Church of Wisdom and Sight. That, along with the way they lived and the events surrounding their deaths, indicate we may be dealing with a cult. Other members may have escaped through the tunnel. Our priority now is to find them and to identify the victims. In addition, I want to make sure you're all taking care of yourselves. The department is providing psych support and you're all to sit down and talk to one of these people sooner rather than later. It is not optional.
- [to his squad]
- Donald Cragen: None of you are exempt from what I just said.
- Elliot Stabler: Cap? We can always get our heads shrunk after this case is over.
- Donald Cragen: Get it done or you're off the case.
