Quotes
-
Katriona Tamin : Good to go, Captain.
Olivia Benson : I can see that. The thing is, Kat, Hadid has this little habit of second-guessing people who she thinks are inexperienced.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I can vouch for that.
Olivia Benson : So I will go with, and you tell Capezio to introduce me as a doctor, former student of his.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You're a doctor? Mazel tov.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I did some digging. Hadid's sister's wedding in Ravello? The reception was in a villa owned by William Harrington II.
Olivia Benson : Well, what's her connection to him?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : She went to college with William III. I found the wedding photos on Facebook. Trey and Hadid looked pretty chummy.
Olivia Benson : So you think she tipped them off?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Who knows? I mean, figuring out where she stands, I'd rather do a Rubik's Cube blindfolded.
Olivia Benson : I hear you.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : And if we make this case, Harrington Pharma is looking at criminal responsibility and hundreds of millions of dollars in fines.
Olivia Benson : Well, that's not gonna go over well at the next college reunion, so we better be sure.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I'm prepped and ready. So, you're good with me handling the arraignment?
Vanessa Hadid : I have to be. I'm a witness in this case. I can't prosecute.
Trey Harrington : [approaching as Carisi leaves] You just blew up your future, you know that? If you did this to set up a run for higher office, forget it. There's a price for betrayal.
Vanessa Hadid : I'd focus on your arraignment, Trey.
Trey Harrington : And one more thing, Nessa? You broke my heart.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You make a good undercover, Ms. Hadid.
Vanessa Hadid : I leveraged a personal relationship. I'm not proud of that.
Olivia Benson : Why wouldn't you give us a heads-up?
Vanessa Hadid : I had to hear for myself. If this didn't pan out, you never would've known. I wish I was happier about this.
-
Vanessa Hadid : We kept the arrest low-key?
Olivia Benson : We're sitting on the doctor.
Vanessa Hadid : And what did the sales rep give you?
Olivia Benson : Well, she claims that this policy of sex-for-drugs came from the higher-ups at Harrington.
Vanessa Hadid : Did she say from whom?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Not explicitly. But she also said the higher up you got, the less explicit it was. The big boys insulate themselves.
Vanessa Hadid : Big boys. I doubt she's privy to the boardroom's inner workings.
Olivia Benson : Well, I agree, but she did give us tickets to a benefit that Harrington is hosting tomorrow night.
Vanessa Hadid : Trey? It's for bilingual education in public schools. They're a very charitable family.
Olivia Benson : Good for them, but Harrington's entire team will be there. And Tiffany said that she will introduce me to complicit sales execs, including her supervisor, who has already offered me a trip to St. John.
Vanessa Hadid : Okay. That's an opening.
-
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.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : This is a culture of corruption. Now, either Trey Harrington has no idea how his business is being run, or he's in on this.
Vanessa Hadid : That's not the man I know. But you need to pursue this wherever it goes. Keep me in the loop.
Olivia Benson : Of course.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : [Hadid leaves] Good thing she's got our backs on this.
Olivia Benson : Always.
