Law & Order: Special Victims Unit · Season 1
Captain Benson, you got my thank you note for the bracelets you were so kind to give me.
Where are you?
On my way to Brussels or is it Dubai? Either one is so beautiful this time of year.
You trying to make me jealous or is there something that I can do for you?
You have my footage. A woman like you could do a lot with that.
You have no idea what kind of woman I am. Don't play with fire.
Well, that's no fun, Captain. [hangs up]
Let me get something straight. I am not afraid of you and you have no leverage over me. Sooner or later, I will find something.
[about Paulo] He's a giant superstar.
Which means this case is going to be a giant pain in the ass.
Do you remember those old westerns where the outlaw would rob a bank? That's me. I'm a safe-cracker. But you don't blow off the doors with dynamite. You listen for the clicks. Trainers, masseuses - that's one click, barely a challenge. A professional woman like Nellie, a reporter - that's two clicks. That's a better challenge, but that door's already open, and once it's open, it never shuts.
And a young woman, like my Ana? She'd be how many clicks to you, Paulo?
[hesitantly] Ana?
[Antonio produces an envelope]
What the hell is that?
The money you gave Marcia to keep your secret. That you violated my daughter.
[panicked] Antonio, are you listening to yourself? I would never...
NO! The things I've done for you, the things I've seen... I know all your lies. I am your lies!
I need some time alone with my client.
Careful what you wish for.
So whoever did this knew how to get rid of the DNA.
Sometimes an absence is a presence all in itself.
If I'd only left everything alone, maybe Cora wouldn't have been attacked.
You know, Cora needed a father. You can still be that for Ada. You can call her by the name she chose.
I was not a good person.
So be a better one.
Ada had dreams and a lot of plans for the future... dreams that she didn't share with me because she didn't feel like I would accept her. And that is my loss, because I never got to meet her. But I loved her.
[Sonny and Rollins are getting married]
Carisi and I were talking, and we realized that marriage is a lot like a crime. You have motive and opportunity.
We figured that all we needed were witnesses.
We don't want to do this without all of you here.
Noah and Connor have been texting non-stop. They're dying to meet each other.
So what are you going to do?
What any self-respecting parent would do in this situation: ask you to run a complete background check on the entire family.
I screwed up this case. How pissed is Carisi?
On a scale of 1 to 10...
...I'd say Vladimir Putin.
Still beating yourself up about that sex bunker guy from Fishkill? Elias Olsen?
Yeah, I know which one you're talking about, Duarte. The whole damn trial went up because of my temper.
Pretty conceited, isn't it? Judge calls a mistrial because some lady cop went all Karen on the stand? That's not enough.
Don't call me a Karen while I'm armed.
All I'm saying, you're not that important.
Maybe I'm not cut out for SVU.
You telling me you wanna come back to Gangs?
If I did?
I'd tell you that you made your bed. Now it's wet. Figure out a way to lie in it.
It looks like the Tremont clique knows where you live.
I mean, these people are pretty ballsy. Going after a New York captain on her turf?
I heard on the radio you blew out one of their kneecaps.
I didn't want to shoot any of them. They were kids.
You have a lot more restraint than I would.
He's somebody's son.
Some bullets have a lesson behind them.
I've seen psychopaths before, but never one with an army behind him.
How's Amanda?
She's grading papers. You know what means? No machetes, no black eyes...
Yeah, but paper cuts are a bitch.
