[Stabler talks to Dr. Taylor after a particularly brutal case]
How long does a case like this stay with you?
A while.
What do you do to turn it off?
Go home, kiss my wife, hug my kids.
Do you share these cases with your family?
No. I don't let that world touch my family.
That world is everywhere. You can't put them on 24-hour surveillance.
True, but I don't have to be their tour guide.
You have to work with a lot of cases involving children. How do you handle it?
[pause] Have you ever seen an 8-year-old with no soul? I have.
And what do you do when you see that?
I think... I think a lot. About the crime, about the victim, about people who do those sorts of things.
And what do you think about?
How I could get away with killing them.
