IIda

I had such high hopes for him.

[sarcastically] Well, it was nice visiting.

IIda

He was supposed to grow up to be somebody.

I'm sitting right here.

IIda

In a police station! Do you have any idea how embarrassing this is for me?!

I did this for you, Ida. I'm finally going to be famous, just like you always wanted. Happy now?

IIda

You were never anything but trouble!

He was a difficult child?

IIda

You can't imagine.

Shut up, Ida!

IIda

I couldn't take him anywhere! Not even my movies!

Shut up.

IIda

Soon as the lights went down, he'd throw a tantrum!

Stop it!

He was afraid of the dark?

IIda

He was a crybaby!

STOP IT!

IIda

He'd cry like a baby till they'd ask us to leave.

Oh, you sure in hell figured out a way to see 'em!

How did you manage that, Ida?

NEVER MIND!

I'd like to know.

IIda

What else could I do? I had to leave him at home.

Alone?

IIda

I made sure that he couldn't get in trouble.

Shut up, Ida!

That's why you took the doors off. She locked you in the closet.

IIda

Well, you know, he might have hurt himself running around the house.

THAT'S ENOUGH!!

IIda

And it was only for two hours. But he'd get so worked up, he'd soil himself.

[breaking down] Shut up! Please! Shut up! Don't you ever shut up?! DON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP?! [lunging at her, Humphrey is restrained by Stabler] I'll kill you, you bitch! You bitch!

IIda

You see how he treats his mother?!

I've never met a victim who testified against their attacker and regretted it afterwards.

You know Tandi's face was on the TV and newspaper all weekend long. How come you didn't report seeing her?

CCadet

I guess I just didn't put 2 and 2 together.

Yeah, I could see where that would be a problem for you.

Do you think you could recognize her again?

CCashier

Sure could. [Elliot pulls a picture out and shows it to him] That's her.

You've been very helpful, Thank you. [walks outside where Olivia is on her phone with Fin]

Fin, it's Liv. Look, can you check with the lab for food wrapper and soda cans found at the scene? Yeah, great, thanks. [hangs up the phone]

Don't get your hopes up.

He didn't recognize Tandi's photo?

He recognized my daughter Kathleen.

I've known Tandi since she was 8. I watched that girl grow up. I supported her family when her father was sick. I've loved her like a daughter and to suggest that I might harm her is disgusting.

I'm touched.

You waste my time, send me on a wild goose chase?

WWalinsky

I was tryin' to help you guys!

You contaminated evidence! You told that kid you're a cop to get him to make a false ID!

WWalinsky

You got the perv, didn't you?

Wrong perv, but I tell you what... [locks Walinsky in a holding cell] ...where you're going you'll be meeting plenty of them.

You really went after Morton in there.

He killed a kid. He knew what he was doing.

You so sure about that because of something he wrote 15 years ago?

Eliot, he's screwing with us. This grief-crazed father crap, it's all an act.

I spend my life locking up skels for murdering children. The system says they go away to prison - fine. But if it were my son lying on that slab, I don't know what my rage would make me do.

[after Dr. Morton's acquittal]

Tel me one thing - when did you decide to kill Jake?

MDr. Morton

[pause] In the courtroom, once I knew what he was. You were right. I looked around, saw the officer, realized I could take the gun. I just waited for the right moment.

You manipulated us, just like Jake did.

MDr. Morton

There's one big difference. Jake would've killed again. I won't.

Then you think this is a big waste of your time.

Hell, no. I think we should all sit around all day and chat about our feelings.

Well, what do you want to talk about?

Well, it doesn't really matter. We can all talk until we're blue in the face. It's not going to change the fact that the human race is ever-evolving and will always come up with elaborate, repulsive, and depraved ways to kill each other.

And that's really the hard part for you, isn't it?

What?

That you can still be repulsed. As cynical as you try to be, you can still be sickened.

[Munch looks away]

I'm afraid that... I won't be able to handle it.

But you are. By acknowledging that it affects you. That's the way you handle something traumatic.

Well, I guess the real problem is that I'm afraid that... that it's not working. [starts to cry]

Now, those women out there might be brainwashed, but you're not. You know exactly what he is: A murderer and a child rapist.

SCSarah/Cindy

That's not true!

You knew who he was and you let this happen! You let all those children die!

SCSarah/Cindy

It was God's will!

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 has well have killed him YOURSELF!!

Olivia!

[calmly] He has one of your children and he has your unborn grandchild.

SCSarah/Cindy

This is a test. I won't be tempted.

[Benson leaves the room in disgust]

[to Reggie] Just relax, take a deep breath, and pretend you're just embezzling thousands of dollars like it's any other day.

How can you stand it? How can you invite this depravity into your mind? Your body? Your soul? They will kill you. Every horror, every torment afflicts your body. Like a cancer. It's devouring your, and you can't see it. Open your eyes.

You know, I just 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 are much more pathetic than that. You actually believe your own hype. You've conned yourself.
