Maxwell quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

[to Drakkos] You're not on moral high ground here; this is quicksand.

Justice can be blind, but she's not entirely heartless. And you'll see how heartless I can be if this conversation comes back to haunt me.

Sonny

[about Tori] To charge her with three counts of murder when she's cooperating with us, that seems like...

The law.

Sonny

Technically, yes, but the circumstances...

Let me give you some circumstances. G, rather, Gutter18's video has garnered a million hits in two days.

That's a lot of eyes on this case.

Sonny

I understand that, but...

I cannot have this office charge a Black man with triple murder and cut a deal with the white woman who set the whole crime in motion.

Sonny

But it's not as black and white as you make it sound. You gotta hear her story.

I'm sure it's tragic. But the jails are chock full of sad stories - and nobody gives a damn.

Cole's a suspect?

Benson

He is. We asked Michelle, and she says she remembers seeing Cole in the kitchen when her friend Mavis helped her down the stairs the next morning.

And Mavis corroborates?

Sonny

Reluctantly. She hedged at first. Turns out, they're friendly with each other. Their kids go to the same school.

I'm sure they do. Cole Eaton is a prominent New York businessman. Major campaign donor, multiple charity boards.

Sonny

So, he's got a lot to lose.

As do we all.

The Duchess County DA wants an update on the case. I mean, certainly, Elias is guilty of a lot. Attempted murder, abduction, confinement... but patricide?

Fin

What are we, in ancient Greece?
