Quotes
-
Detective Olivia Benson : I don't understand how a mother wouldn't know her own child.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, but Mrs. Hallander didn't recognize this girl until sister Erica saw that tattoo on her wrist.
Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Munch, zoom in on the ink. Put 'em up side by side.
Detective Olivia Benson : Looks the same to me.
Sergeant John Munch : Except they're mirror images. On this one, the stem curved to the right; on this one, it curves to the left.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Girl's a con artist.
Detective Olivia Benson : Then why would she try to kill herself?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Maybe she knew the game was up.
Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Who's gonna break it to the Hallanders that their real daughter's still missing?
[walks away]
Detective Olivia Benson : Let me talk to Heather first.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Liv, she's not Heather.

-
Detective Olivia Benson : That was Heather's father. She's not feeling well; drive-along's off.
Detective Elliot Stabler : She saw the paper.
Detective Olivia Benson : They tried to keep it from her, but the sister Nikki slipped her a copy.
Sergeant John Munch : The brat sister isn't helping at all. You ask me, we bring Nikki in here for a sit-down.
Detective Elliot Stabler : What, are you a social worker now?
Sergeant John Munch : Hardly.
-
Sergeant John Munch : The day Heather ran out after Nikki called her fat, mom sent the brat after her to apologize.
Detective Olivia Benson : Nikki never found Heather.
Sergeant John Munch : Yeah, so she claims.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Nikki was sixteen years old. What'd she do, sell her younger sister as a sex slave?
Sergeant John Munch : No, but maybe she saw her get in the van.
Detective Olivia Benson : And never said anything?
-
Sergeant John Munch : Nikki admitted that she tormented her little sister. Maybe she was glad to see her go. Parents said that she's been on a downward spiral ever since. Sounds like guilt to me.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Or acting like a teenager.
[Munch heads to his desk]
Detective Elliot Stabler : Anything back from forensics?
Detective Olivia Benson : Scarring from long-term sexual abuse, but no DNA in the rape kit.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Well, Heather scrubbed herself clean. We kind of expected that.
Detective Olivia Benson : The lab found semen on the dress. They're working up a DNA profile now.
Detective Elliot Stabler : If we're lucky, the perp's already in the system.
