Captain Cragen, Rollins and others in “Unfinished Business”

I didn't want to announce this until Nick's situation got resolved, but it's done, and so am I. I'm leavin'.

What? Now?!

Hey, is this part of the deal? Was this their pound of flesh? Because if it is...

No, no, no. No. This is my call.

Fin

Where you gonna go, Cap'n?

Around the world, actually. Eileen has 2 tickets for a 6-month cruise, and I have enough accrued leave to take me through my mandatory retirement date. If I stay, I make less than if I leave.

Cap, cruise. Okay. If anyone's earned it.

I'm proud of my time here. And I'm honored and grateful to have worked with the finest unit of detectives I've ever known. Nick, you're gonna get through all this. You're too good a cop and too good a man not to. Amanda, I was never sorry that I brought you up from Atlanta. I would do it again. And, Fin, what can I say? For a guy who never should've been an SVU detective, you're okay.

Fin

Right back at you, Captain. Nobody could ever take your place.

Well, for the meantime, Detective Benson will. She's ready. Now, it's not easy going from player to coach, so don't bust her chops. [to Benson] But if they do, you bust 'em right back.
