Are you Lavender?

Its La-van-der! Do I look like a damn flower to you?

[to Cooper] Are you okay?
[crying] No. I said I wasn't used to dealing with victims.
[Benson is preparing to interrogate Cooper]
You must get a lot of confessions in here. Can't wait to unburden the soul, confirm your deepest suspicions. They want absolution. They want to be able to sleep at night.
Can you sleep at night, Lauren?
I sleep. Just. Fine.
[to himself] I'm gonna blow your freakin' brains out.

[Overhearing] You better not be talkin' to me.
Just how close were you 2?
He was like a father to me!
Is that what they're calling it these days?
(about Agent Cooper) She executed Mr. Moore
You mean the serial killer.
It doesn't matter what he did, Larry Moore was murdered. That is a Class-A fellony.
LLydia
I presume you live on Planet Earth. Where're you going to find a jury pool that doesn't think the guy deserves to die?
That has no baring on the law.
LLydia
Explain that to John Q. Public. There'll be months of media spinning. Trotting out the murdered womans family members in support of a rogue FBI agent.
Agent Cooper stalked and shot a man in Central Park and you want to give her a pass?
LLydia
This office is not going to let you spend $2,000,000, on a case you can't win.
[As Lake and Benson arrive to arrest her] Proud of yourself?
I would have been proud to help you collar the bastard who murdered 24 women. That would have satisfied me.
That wasn't good enough.
[Quickly takes away Cooper's gun] Why not?
You know why. How many dead babies have you stood over? How many rape victims? You can't tell me you never wanted to put your gun under the bastard's chin who raped a 2-year old.
[pause] I have too much to lose.
I don't.
[Benson begs Cooper to make a deal and mitigate her sentence]
Take the deal, Lauren. It's a way out.
No.
Why the hell not?
Because those who fight monsters better make damn sure they don't become them. [pulls out her gun]
GUN!!
[Cooper shoots herself]
You know, I was up all night with the baby. And it got me thinking.
You want me to send Jack to Family Court.
I want to do what's right, Casey.
Sleep deprivation's making you soft, Elliot.
You can tell the Grand Rebbe he can kiss my tuchus. My Yiddish is a little rusty, but I'm pretty sure they just told our friend here to keep us away from the synagogue.
What they are doing is trapping her in a child's body forever.
Parents have to make hard choices. This last pregnancy, Kathy was over 40. That carries a higher risk of things like Down Syndrome.
And, you know what? Eli turned out perfect, so spare me the perils of women over 40 having babies.

Docket ending 25801. People vs. James and Victoria Grall. One count assault in the second degree, one count grand larceny, one count burglary.
How do you plead?
JJames
Not guilty, your honor.
EEva
They should be charged with murder!
Court officers, remove this woman!
[the court officers escort Eva out of the courtroom as James and Victoria look on with remorse]
JJames
She's right. We should be charged with murder.
Would the People like to amend the charge?
No, your honor. The defendants are only grandstanding to further their political agenda.
JJames
If you were fit for your job, you'd seek justice for these lost souls.
VVictoria
It was an accident.
Mr. Hunter, control your clients.
As your honor well knows, according to New York law, life does not begin until a baby draws breath.
JJames
It begins at the moment of conception.
Even in the cases of abandoned newborns, a murder charge cannot be brought if it's determined the infant was stillborn.
The charges stand.
Actually, your honor, the grand larceny should be dropped to petty larceny. Human bodies cannot legally be sold, and therefore have no monetary value.
The couples who went to Hudson Cryobank each spent tens of thousands of dollars to get those embryos.
That was for services provided. It wasn't a sticker price of an embryo.
That's an issue for your trial judge. I'll add on the lesser charge and hear the People as to bail.
$100,000 each.
Excessive. The defendants are not a flight risk. They have ties to the community.
Bail is set at 10,000 each, cash or bond. [bangs gavel] Next case.
[Fin catches Harris trying to rape Benson]
Let her go now!
Get the hell outta here!
Police! Move away from her! Move away!
She's trying to escape!
And you had to drop your pants to stop her?
Lowell Harris, you're under arrest for raping Ashley Tyler.
And the attempted murder of a police officer.
You're a cop?
Who's the bitch now?
