Quotes

Captain Donald Cragen : What, are you waiting for an invitation?
[Olivia and Elliot turn around to Cragen]
Detective Olivia Benson : Just thought we'd give Vasko a taste of his own medicine.
Captain Donald Cragen : I think he's familiar with the tactics of breaking someone. All you're giving him is time to lawyer up.
Detective Elliot Stabler : We're buying ourselves some.
[Melinda comes]
Detective Elliot Stabler : You got something?
Dr. Melinda Warner : It's too soon for DNA results, so I ran an individual specific auto-antibodies test on Mr. Vasko. It's not admissible in court yet but, uh, it only takes two hours.
Captain Donald Cragen : Well, how did we get a court order for his DNA already?
Detective Elliot Stabler : We didn't need one. Vasko ran, Fin clotheslined him, bloodied up his nose on Fin's sleeve.
Dr. Melinda Warner : And Fin was kind enough to pass it along to me. He's a match for the semen on your girl's dress.
Detective Olivia Benson : [smiles slightly] That's all we need.
[starts walking]
Dr. Melinda Warner : Hold on. I'm not finished. I did get the DNA results from your Jane Doe's rape kit. She's not Heather.
Detective Elliot Stabler : We figured that one out ourselves.
Dr. Melinda Warner : Did you know her name is Kirsten Vuscelik?
Captain Donald Cragen : What, she's in the system?
Dr. Melinda Warner : No, in CODIS. She was abducted in Ohio six years ago. Her mother Marcie was certain it as a parental kidnapping.
-
Detective Elliot Stabler : Doc, was she abducted or not?
Dr. George Huang : I wouldn't rule it out.
Captain Donald Cragen : Even with the lies about her field trips to church?
Dr. George Huang : After four years, he's established total domination over her. Heather's programmed to follow orders blindly and without question. The ultimate test of his power is taking her out in public.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Well, that doesn't bother me. I mean, he took her to a church. You got two hundred people there, it's a sanctuary. Why not scream, ask for help?
Dr. George Huang : Because his control over her was so complete she couldn't. I once worked a case in Rochester where the perp took a victim who he had kept for two years to a karaoke bar. They got up and they sang a song together. No one suspected.
Captain Donald Cragen : Heather is safe now. Why isn't she helping?
Dr. George Huang : Extreme Stockholm syndrome.
Detective Olivia Benson : She's bonded with her captor as a survival mechanism and now has this misguided need to protect him.
[her phone rings]
Detective Olivia Benson : Detective Benson. Where are they taking her? I'm on my way.
[hanging up]
Detective Olivia Benson : Heather slit her wrists.
-
Captain Donald Cragen : That was a little too convincing.
Detective Olivia Benson : It was brilliant. Elliot's gonna sucker a full confession out of that idiot.
Captain Donald Cragen : While you do what?
Detective Olivia Benson : Kristen's seventy-two hour psych hold is up. I gotta get the Hallanders to drop the charges before she's transferred to the Tombs.
Captain Donald Cragen : Liv, I checked. Kristen's already on her way there.
Detective Olivia Benson : Well, I gotta get her out.
Captain Donald Cragen : Munch and Fin went to talk to the Hallanders.
Detective Olivia Benson : Where's Greylek?
Captain Donald Cragen : She's tracking down Judge Andrews at a black tie event.
Detective Olivia Benson : You didn't see that basement. I cannot let this girl sit in a cell all night.
-
Captain Donald Cragen : $4,595 for one 35mm digital camera, and the Ledger is demanding disciplinary action against you.
Detective Elliot Stabler : I never touched the guy. I just can't believe the vultures got a photo off their memory card.
Captain Donald Cragen : "Sex Slave and the City". Classy.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Used to be no one would ever publish a rape victim's photo.
Captain Donald Cragen : Well, that was before newspapers started going the way of the dodo. I'm sure readership will be up today.
