S1 E15Unfinished Business

My mother was an English professor. When I was 16, I started dating one of her students. He was a senior, he was 21 years old. And he asked me to marry him. And I said yes. Because I wanted to get away from my mother. She found out and she told me that if I didn't stop seeing him, that she would have him kicked out of college. And I told her that I was moving out. She was half way through a bottle of vodka and she dropped it. It shattered all over the floor. And then she picked up the jagged edge of the bottle and...and she came at me, screaming, 'I'll never let anyone else have you.' And so I kicked her, hard. And then I kicked her again. And she went flying across the room, into the wall. And she slid down to the floor. I'd never hurt her before. I ran out. I was so afraid...

You didn't kill your mother, Olivia.

Do you have children?

Yes.

JJenny

What would you do if one of them got into trouble? You'd help them. It was my job to raise Kevin right - I failed. I won't fail him again. So don't ask me to betray him, because I never will.

JJenny

You arrested Kevin?

He'll be in a treatment program. He's getting the help he needs, and you can live your life without being afraid.

JJenny

What life? You took my son away. What have I got to live for now?

He didn't even let her gargle.

Cause of death?

Heroin trip.

This girl didn't OD.

CCoroner

No, I mean she tripped on the subway stairs because she was high.

BSBody seller

Listen. It's not what you're thinking.

Oh, you have no idea what I'm thinking.

No one should have to choose between obeying the law and watching their son die.

[to Officer Vaill about Officer Callahan] Are you sleeping with him?

VOfficer Vaill

Let me be very clear, Detective Benson. I'd be more inclined to have an affair with you.

Got it.

Callahan's either a great guy or an unpredictable bastard, depending on who you talk to.

That's helpful.

It's better than Munch's "evil twin" theory.
