Cause of death was between two and four hours ago... pre-release.
Is that significant?
No, that's just cold.

Do you really think the first woman the state executes should be a single mother, prostitute, rape victim...
Serial killer.
I'm not confident with calling the suspect a serial killer.
How many guys she gotta whack until you're confident?
Sit down in the chair, Maggie.
MMaggie
Where's Elliot?
Just us girls now. Sit! That act of yours was a whole lotta fun to watch. But you should know that it's not gonna work with me.
MMaggie
What act?
Pretend to be a victim, you can pretend to be a whore, you can pretend to be whatever it is you wanna be. It's a joke. Maggie, you're done.
MMaggie
Where's my son?
Oh... see, that's not gonna work either.
MMaggie
I do not believe that you are talking to me this way. I was raped more times than I can remember!
Right, and your mom died, and your dad beat ya. [slides a paper towards Maggie] Your mom's alive. No dad on the birth certificate. You never knew him, did you? Was your mom a pro, too?
MMaggie
Where's my son? I need to see him.
Your son? You're never gonna see that kid again. You murdered 7 men for a hotel room and a manicure.
MMaggie
They raped me!
You want the whole world to think that you're a victim? Well, Maggie, you're getting your wish. Because the state's gonna kill you.
[Benson and Stabler find Lawrence and Gloria arguing over custody of Chloe]
LLawrence
[about Gloria] She raped my son. God knows what she did to my daughter.
GGloria
Our daughter!
LLawrence
You don't deserve to be a mother! You're disgusting!
GGloria
Yeah, make up some more stories. Everyone knows it so you can get out of child support when I divorce you!
LLawrence
I'm gonna kill you if you touch my children again!
[holds him back] Mr. FULLER! I don't wanna hear another threat like that. Now, am I clear?
[to Kyle] You have the right to an attorney. You want my advice? Don't take one that's on your mother's payroll.

During the course of their investigation, SVU detectives discovered the defendant left his jurisdiction, violating the conditions of his bail agreement.
This was obviously not an attempt to skip bail, your honor, as evidenced by the fact that my client was on his way back to New York before the detectives knew he was gone.
AAlex
The sole purpose of this trip was to travel to the state of Virginia, which allows non-residents to obtain marriage licenses without waiting periods or blood tests.
[surprised] He skipped town to get married?
AAlex
Virginia also allows a person under the age of 18 to marry with the permission of a legal guardian, despite the fact that the defendant was, in fact, marrying his legal guardian, his stepmother, Gloria Stanfield, currently under investigation for child abuse and murder.
None of this is relevant to the matter of bail, your honor.
AAlex
But it is relevant to the defendant's trial. This marriage is an attempt to abuse spousal privilege and circumvent the very investigation which may land the defendant in jail.
[about Kyle and Gloria's marriage] Whether or not the defendant intended to avoid prosecution, he violated his bail agreement. Bail is revoked. The defendant is remanded. [to Kyle] Congratulations on your nuptials, young man. [bangs gavel]
GGloria
[to Kyle as she's arrested for the murder] You have no idea what you're doing.
KKyle
No. I know exactly what I'm doing, Mom.
[after observing the victim who has Alzheimer's] Sad. When this steel trap starts to rust, call Kevorkian.
Consider that done.
I never want to grow old.
In our line of work, be careful what you wish for.
[to Munch] I told you you should've left that mutt in the car.
You know how many dogs die in locked cars every year?
You know how many cops shoot their partner and get off on a justifiable?
There's a fine line between the right to privacy and prevention.
People have a right to know if they've been exposed to HIV.
Yeah, I just get a little nervous when the government starts drawing up lists.
Please don't get him started. He goes off on black helicopters and we'll be here all night.
AArthur
[during the interrogation] I was alive again for the first time in years. Greta was going to take it away. I had to stop her.
CClaudia
You cannot interrogate the prisoner about the federal case against her or anything related to it.
What if her criminal affiliations directly relate to the attack?
CClaudia
Well if Miss Curry's business associates were involved, she'd be in the morgue.

How much do you make a year?
It depends on overtime, but why don't we say $68,940.
USU.S. Marshal #2
Must be hard to make ends meet with a family of 6.
I'm a cop.
USU.S. Marshal #2
And the NYPD has a history of being squeaky clean.
I want my phone call.
USU.S. Marshal #2
We can hold you for up to 72 hours without giving you one. Fallout from 9/11. Who else did you talk to?
I'm done talking. Charge me or let me go.
USU.S. Marshal #2
Have a seat.
You know we had nothing to do with the hit. I'm not confessing, so why don't you just let me go? You think I don't use these tactics myself?
USU.S. Marshal #2
I can make you sit down, Detective Stabler. Up to you.
