RRollins

Can I ask you something? How long have you been at SVU?

Don't ask.

RRollins

I mean, how do you handle dating with the things you see day in and day out? How can you trust any man?

I trusted my partner.

RRollins

Yeah, well...

I haven't given up. There are good guys still out there.

[Rollins has admitted to being a gambling addict]

I've been exactly where you are, I know how this job can weigh on you.

RRollins

What do you mean?

I used to drink. And I mean drink. Soon as I got off duty, I was at the bar pounding. And then I started having a few on the job. You know, just to get through. I thought nobody noticed. Now, my captain could've canned my ass. Should've. But he got me help instead.

RRollins

Wow.

You're a good detective, Amanda. I don't want to end your career.

RRollins

I don't want that, either.

So I'm gonna get you help. But you screw up again, you're gone.

RRollins

Hey, so that no-name cell Christine called? I ran down the other incomings. It's a bunch of Wall Street guys ordering "deliveries" from the health food store.

Yeah? Let's go find out what kind of "protein powder" they're talkin' about.

[about Lomitan] This guy's like the Zelig of missing child cases.

If he's our guy, he's been carrying this secret around for 13 years.

RRollins

Ya'll interviewed him back in '99. How did it go?

He was mad at me because I didn't treat him like a brother officer.

Good. Do it again.

With pleasure.

[Rollins finds her sister doing cocaine]

RRollins

I can't have this in my house. I'm a detective.

Right, but gambling's fine.

RRollins

Actually, I'm done with that. If you wanna come with me to a meeting...

Actually, I was thinking I could follow you around. You know, learn the job a little bit? [angry] I wanted to be a cop first. You took that from me.

[Rollins forces Parker out of her apartment and away from Kim at gunpoint]

You didn't have to do that! I didn't ask for your help! I can take care of myself! [storms out]

RRollins

[sadly] You're welcome.

RRollins

You know, Kent did send her photos of his "king." Any way to verify?

Not without seeing the original in a similar state. You want to ask for that subpoena?

[about his ex-wife] In hindsight, when she came home from Iraq, she was textbook PTSD. I didn't see it. I took it personally. I think it cost me my marriage.

RRollins

Have you told her that?

No, it's a little late. I don't think she wants to hear it.

RRollins

Maybe the first step is to stop beating yourself up.

Hey, Muñoz sends out some selfies, that's not a sex crime. All I know is I don't wanna see any more of 'em.

It's more than that. This clown wants to be mayor. He opened himself up to blackmail. This could just be the tip of the iceberg.

RRollins

I think we saw more than just the tip.

[The squad finds out too late that Jackie was falsely accused of child molestation]

We can't take this to trial. The girls won't testify against each other. The only way to make a case is to put two four-year-old boys on the stand to testify against their sisters; those boys are damaged enough as it is.

JJackie

They're damaged?! [scoffs in disbelief and anger] I see.

Mr. Walker--

JJackie

[cutting her off] No! Get away from me. Just get away! [storms out]

I keep going over it in my head... those kids did not sound coached.

We had the DNA. We were just doing our jobs.

People lie, people make mistakes, people get hurt. This comes with the territory.

RRollins

No, you... you guys tell yourselves whatever you want. This didn't have to happen.

RRollins

Does Maria still work for the Pentagon?

She's Public Affairs for the DoD. It's two separate departments.

RRollins

Yeah, but D.C. is such a small town. Everybody knows everybody. Has Maria given you any reason for dropping Zara off tonight?

No.

RRollins

Good, because if she's hiding something, it'll give her more reason to do you a favor.

Is that really how women think?

RRollins

[smiles] No, just one woman.

I didn't want to announce this until Nick's situation got resolved, but it's done, and so am I. I'm leavin'.

RRollins

What? Now?!

Hey, is this part of the deal? Was this their pound of flesh? Because if it is...

No, no, no. No. This is my call.

Where you gonna go, Cap'n?

Around the world, actually. Eileen has 2 tickets for a 6-month cruise, and I have enough accrued leave to take me through my mandatory retirement date. If I stay, I make less than if I leave.

RRollins

Cap, cruise. Okay. If anyone's earned it.

I'm proud of my time here. And I'm honored and grateful to have worked with the finest unit of detectives I've ever known. Nick, you're gonna get through all this. You're too good a cop and too good a man not to. Amanda, I was never sorry that I brought you up from Atlanta. I would do it again. And, Fin, what can I say? For a guy who never should've been an SVU detective, you're okay.

Right back at you, Captain. Nobody could ever take your place.

Well, for the meantime, Detective Benson will. She's ready. Now, it's not easy going from player to coach, so don't bust her chops. [to Benson] But if they do, you bust 'em right back.

[everyone else in the squad room applauds]
