So this is how the other half lives. Lots of elbow room, nice waiting area, cleaning crew comes through, what, four times a day?
Yeah, it's a regular Xanadu.

One more time. The night Muldovan shot at Gonzales...
You're asking... yeah, he could have been trying to kill him.
So this changes the trajectory of our investigation.
Could we stop using the expression, "He said/She said"? It sounds like, "There's no evidence, and there's nothing we can do". And why is the "he" always first?
Kat, a jury understands "no means no." They have a harder time with, "Yes, but I want you to slow down" and "Even though you didn't stop, I'll still have a nightcap with you afterwards."
Every time you say a jury is going to have a hard time, I think you mean you.
I gotta babysit Kat at a controlled meet. You got any tips for how to deal with her? Because everything I do makes her angry.
Then don't do anything.

[at Gunn's parole hearing] If you can't keep him locked up for my sake, keep him locked up for all the women who are still whole, all the women Jimmy Gunn will rape if he gets out.
[Benson is called to a crime scene, sees Kathy Stabler being wheeled in an ambulance]
Kathy? Kathy!
Liv.
[stunned] Elliot.
They tried to kill her... They tried to kill Kathy.
It's like the old days. The two of you together, always so in sync. You really didn't talk for ten years?
I didn't even know he was back on the job.
That's what Elliot told me. I didn't believe him.
Liv, I'm sorry.
Elliot, we don't have to do this. [pause] Okay. You wanna do this now? Are you sorry for leaving, or are you sorry for walking... For not giving me the courtesy of telling me?
Both. I think I thought if I talked to you about...
Walking away? Because that's what you did, Elliot. I had to find out from Cragen.
Olivia...
Elliot, you were the most... the single most important person in my life, and you just disappeared.
I know. I was afraid, if I heard your voice, I wouldn't be able to leave.
How's your friend Stabler doing?
I've talked to him a few times, but... you know.
He's had a rough road.
Yeah. I'm worried for him.
I don't know if it's the healthiest thing for him to investigate his own wife's murder.
Do you wanna tell him that?
[about Lonnie] What's his prior?
He's on parole for the sex assault of a teenage girl.
He claims it was a Romeo and Juliet story.
Isn't that possible?
You'd be amazed how many statutory rapists use Shakespeare as a character witness.
Eduardo's buddies confessed?
Louie blames Eduardo and Juan, says he was just along for the ride.
That's funny, Juan blames Eduardo and Louie.
Three dimed mice.
Fin, you okay?
No. I assumed Lonnie was guilty 'cause he was in that rat trap.
You weren't alone in thinking that, and Lonnie wasn't straight with you, and he was made to look guilty.
No, I was on him from the jump. I checked his single-bust record, and I made him for dirty, and I should know more than anyone how many good kids that look like him get done wrong.
Ceranda was an innocent girl, and you were trying to catch her killer.
And because of me, another innocent kid gets lynched for it.
Fin, that is not on you.
Yes, it is. Now I gotta tell Lonnie's family why they don't have a son anymore.
Why'd you pick this girl?
SSam
It wasn't my idea. I did it for Antonio. That's my half-brother. Our mothers raised us together.
Please don't ask for a lawyer.
For Antonio, why?
SSam
His PO was gonna send him back to Attica for some nonsense unless he did the girl and framed Lonnie. I was just trying to help him.
And then he rats you out.
SSam
I know, man. No good deed.
Are you going to tell me where we're going?
It's a surprise.
Where's Phoebe?
She'll meet us there. [pause] Listen, if you're gonna be a detective, you have to learn to ask better questions.
[stunned] Wait, what?
Congratulations. You're getting promoted. Liv and Phoebe are meeting us to celebrate. Just act surprised and tell the Captain how much you learned from her.
From all of you!
Yeah, but let's polish that apple.
This should be fun - "Look for an angry white guy in a plaid shirt."
