Ice-T: Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola

Quotes 

• Katriona Tamin : Needle down, hands up.

  Nurse : I'm sorry, Dr. Capezio. They're cops.

  Dr. Paul Capezio : What's this about?

  Odafin Tutuola : Like you don't know. Zip up. You're going downtown.

• Odafin Tutuola : So, which one's your bad knee?

  Amanda Rollins : Oh, we don't say "bad" anymore. It's "involved."

• Detective Marina Cruz : NYPD!

  Tiffany Reynolds : What the hell?

  Dr. Brian Gold : Hey, this is a mistake. We didn't do anything. I'm a doctor.

  Odafin Tutuola : We'll take your statement downtown. You can get dressed first, Doc. If you keep it quiet, nobody needs to know.

  Detective Marina Cruz : And you two, you're under arrest.

  Tiffany Reynolds : You've gotta be kidding me.

  Katriona Tamin : [feigning ignorance]  For what?

  Detective Marina Cruz : Solicitation, conspiracy to commit grand larceny, for starters.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : According to Kim, he extorts sex from women who need Oxy? No offense, but her story seem credible?

  Olivia Benson : Down to the ED injection that he gave himself while Kim was taking her clothes off. Now, she's volunteered to go undercover.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : That's not happening.

  Katriona Tamin : Well, I can go. Have Kim vouch for me

  Amanda Rollins : It's easier if I go. I'm her sister, Capezio will trust me. I got the knee a size of a grapefruit. All I have to do is bring the x-rays with me.

  Odafin Tutuola : I don't like this.

  Olivia Benson : Then go with her. We need to get this doctor off the street.

  Amanda Rollins : And if I get enough for an arrest, what does this mean for Kim and her son?

  Olivia Benson : Carisi, will a judge ROR Kim?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, I can ask, but custody's a separate issue. Rollins, are you sure about all this?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, he's my nephew. I can't have him at social services.

• Olivia Benson : Your sister ODed in a dollar-slice joint?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, she was stressed out because she failed a drug test, and she was worried that she was gonna lose her custody.

  Olivia Benson : Custody? What? Sh-She has a kid?

  Amanda Rollins : Son. It turns out I'm an aunt.

  Odafin Tutuola : So, what's she want?

  Olivia Benson : Hold on, Fin.

  Amanda Rollins : He's right. She's looking to make a deal. She claims that the doctor that she gets her Oxy from is extorting her for sex. I have no idea whether or not to believe her.

  Odafin Tutuola : She's a junkie. She's working you.

  Olivia Benson : Hold on, Fin. Does she have any way to back up her story? Has she told anyone?

  Amanda Rollins : I didn't get that far. I wanted to talk to you first.

  Olivia Benson : Is she still in the hospital?

  Amanda Rollins : She's in the Tombs waiting to be processed, and she goes before a judge tomorrow.

• Kim Rollins : My doctor, Paul Capezio, is writin' tons of illegal prescriptions all day long, $100 a pop.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, so, we can tell the DEA and have them look into it. But Amanda said that... that you didn't pay?

  Kim Rollins : H-He-He said he'd accept barter, by which he meant sex.

  Odafin Tutuola : When was this?

  Kim Rollins : First time, Mason was four months. You know, my OB-GYN said no more pills. Someone at the shelter vouched for me to Capezio. I paid a few times 'til I couldn't afford it, and then he gave me a few samples and said next time, I'd have to give him something.

  Olivia Benson : I'm so sorry.

  Kim Rollins : Yeah, well, next time I came in, he said take off your clothes, get warmed up. Well, he took out a needle, gave himself a shot down there.

  Olivia Benson : An ED drug. So, then what happened?

  Kim Rollins : Five minutes later, he climbed on top of me, right there on the exam table. You know, I was staring at the fluorescent lights on the ceiling. It was over quick. Afterward, he wrote me a prescription. Said I could come in whenever.

  Olivia Benson : And how many times did this happen, Kim?

  Kim Rollins : A dozen, maybe more? I mean, you know, I really did try to kick it. I was... but I was living in a shelter, and... and Mason, was crying all the time, and... I was barely hanging on by a thread. And I just couldn't stomach doing it with Capezio anymore. Turned out it was cheaper to buy it on the street anyway.

  Odafin Tutuola : How'd you pass the drug tests?

  Kim Rollins : Where there is a will, there is a way, 'til this last time. If you want, I-I can go back to Capezio. You all can catch him in the act.

  Olivia Benson : We're not gonna ask you to do that.

  Kim Rollins : Well, if you did arrest him, you know, it would really help me with my situation. Uh, is Mr. Barba still the D.A.?

  Odafin Tutuola : No, it's Carisi now.

  Kim Rollins : Oh, that's really good news. He was always really nice to me.

• Dr. Paul Capezio : [examining Rollins' knee x-rays]  There's a lot of bone on bone here. Arthritis. I bet that smarts.

  Amanda Rollins : None of the over-the-counter stuff even makes a dent, but Kim said the Oxy works really well.

  Dr. Paul Capezio : All right, and uh, she told you how this works?

  Amanda Rollins : You mean the sex? Yeah. But how many pills can I get?

  Dr. Paul Capezio : Well, you're allowed a week's supply at a time, but if you have different ID, we can get around that. Just take them to small pharmacies. My assistant has a list. Now, uh, just lie back on the table, pull up your skirt, and, uh, I'll be right with you.

  Katriona Tamin : [watching the surveillance feed]  Letting him go ahead with the injection?

  Odafin Tutuola : I don't wanna see that.

• Counselor Freddo : Well, this is entrapment. My client is a respected member of the medical community.

  Odafin Tutuola : Don't even try. He's a pusher.

  Katriona Tamin : These women were addicted. That's rape.

  Dr. Paul Capezio : Rape? It's barter. Uh, dinners, a deal on dry cleaning. These people are in pain, I help them.

  Counselor Freddo : These victims are addicts and liars.

  Vanessa Hadid : [watching with Benson and Carisi]  You caught this loser in the act?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : And videotaped him.

  Olivia Benson : His assistant flipped on him. She showed us his appointment logs, his accounting ledgers. There are at least twelve women who Capezio doesn't take money from.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : So, we tack on criminal drug diversion and healthcare fraud, we got a solid case, and we wouldn't have it if Kim Rollins hadn't come forward.

  Vanessa Hadid : I'll call her parole officer. We get the right judge, she can get an ankle-bracelet release, pending trial.

  Olivia Benson : She also has a two-year-old child.

  Vanessa Hadid : The one she abandoned while she got high? I can't lobby for custody.

• Odafin Tutuola : Once a junkie, always a junkie. Amanda should just cut Kim off.

  Olivia Benson : That's what I did to my brother, Fin. If this guy is as bad as Kim says, we need to put him away.

• Kim Rollins : Where's Amanda? She wouldn't come?

  Olivia Benson : It's just us, Kim. It's simpler.

  Kim Rollins : Well, I-I-I really appreciate you two talking to me.

  Olivia Benson : So, Amanda said you had something you wanted to tell us about your doctor.

  Kim Rollins : If I do that, uh, you guys can get me out of here?

  Odafin Tutuola : So you can get high again?

  Kim Rollins : Look, I can pick it up and I can put it down. I just need to get my son back.

  Odafin Tutuola : Okay, let's hear it. We're not making promises.

• Olivia Benson : Hey, update on Capezio?

  Katriona Tamin : Orthopedist. Lost his hospital affiliation when St. Vincent's closed.

  Amanda Rollins : He lost his private practice a few years after that. Now he sublets an exam room in a medical suite in the West 30s, keeps odd hours.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : And what about his prescriptions?

  Katriona Tamin : Still putting that together. He was sanctioned a year ago. Hard to tell how many patients he's got because he doesn't file electronically.

  Odafin Tutuola : How does he pull that off?

  Amanda Rollins : He's got an eyesight and age exemption.

• Katriona Tamin : Vaping in fifth grade? Just tobacco?

  Olivia Benson : I didn't think to ask. I mean, I'm not worried. He... he would never.

  Odafin Tutuola : Mm-hmm.

  Olivia Benson : What?

  Odafin Tutuola : Just keep an eye out.

• Vanessa Hadid : So, Officer Tamin has made contact with a sales rep from Harrington Pharma?

  Odafin Tutuola : Tiffany Reynolds, former adult film actress. Now she's making high six figures peddling Oxy.

  Vanessa Hadid : How explicit was Tiffany?

  Olivia Benson : She told Tamin that the happier she makes the doctors, the more drugs they sell.

  Vanessa Hadid : Okay, I went to college with Trey Harrington. It's his family's business. There's no way this is coming from the top down. We're most likely looking at a rogue sales division.

  Olivia Benson : With all due respect, counselor, let's find out what we're dealing with before we exonerate anyone.

  Vanessa Hadid : I'm not exonerating, I'm vouching for the family, not the company. What's our next step?

  Odafin Tutuola : There's a pre-sales event tomorrow.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : The reps give their biggest customers a special preview.

  Olivia Benson : So, Tiffany's taking Kat. Sort of a tryout.

  Vanessa Hadid : Okay, so, if their sales team is crossing the line, we need to prove it.

  Olivia Benson : So, you're on board with this?

  Vanessa Hadid : I never said I wasn't.

• Kim Rollins : I miss Mason so much. What if they don't give me custody?

  Odafin Tutuola : It's not you getting custody.

  Amanda Rollins : She knows that.

  Odafin Tutuola : Yeah, I hope she also knows you're very lucky your sister is NYPD. That carries a lot of weight. But one more mistake, Kim, you and your son, you're out of chances.

• Odafin Tutuola : You let your father stay with you?

  Amanda Rollins : One night. He drove all the way up.

  Odafin Tutuola : He can drive all the way back.

  Amanda Rollins : He wants to meet his grandkids, Fin.

  Odafin Tutuola : When's the last time you saw him?

  Amanda Rollins : I don't know. I lost count, but a lot of that's on me.

  Odafin Tutuola : That's your father, so I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but you gotta be careful. You've got enough problems right now. Not to mention, while you're dealing with this, we're spread pretty thin.

• Odafin Tutuola : This is District Attorney Carisi. He's gonna be arraigning you soon.

  Tiffany Reynolds : Arraignment?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah. Prostitution and grand larceny.

  Tiffany Reynolds : What?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : You want to get out from under? Tell us who at Harrington gives the orders.

  Tiffany Reynolds : Do I need a lawyer?

  Odafin Tutuola : That's your right, but they're just gonna tell you to cooperate with us.

  Tiffany Reynolds : You're asking me to give up my bosses.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Mm-hmm.

  Tiffany Reynolds : They pay me really well.

  Odafin Tutuola : That's fine, but the other girl we arrested? She's talking to us right now.

  Tiffany Reynolds : Kathy? She just started. She doesn't know anything about how this works.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : But you do.
