I'm no lawyer, but I've never heard of any such thing as pimp-john confidentiality.

Riley, do you know the difference between consecutive and concurrent sentences?
One means your ass is ours. The other means your ass is ours forever.

Most of the women in Accredo have sexual issues.
Did Vicky Parson have sexual issues?
AArlo
Well, she wasn't living her life to her to its potential personally and professionally. Kind of like you.
Excuse me?
AArlo
A woman becomes a cop. Why? To establish power over men. Why? Because men have: A, disappointed her, B, demeaned her.
How about C, she believes the scum should rot in prison.
AArlo
Oh, the lies we tell ourselves. Let me guess. [looking to her pregnant belly] You're not married to the daddy, are you?
When I was growing up, I had a TV in my room. Family Ties was my favorite. Alex P. I really, really liked him. And I would turn the volume all the way up so I couldn't hear what was going on downstairs. The screaming, the cussing. We were not the Keatons.
Well, news flash: Nobody's family is.
My mom had this vase. It wasn't expensive, but she really loved it, and he threw it at her. It shattered into a million pieces. And that was right before he beat the crap out of her.
I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
The thing is, I wasn't mad at him. I was so mad at her. You know, how? How... how could she let him?
LLilah
Arlo made me feel like I could do anything, overcome my fears, be my best self. You're asking me to say that the last ten years of my life meant nothing.
I'm asking you to look at the next ten years, the next twenty years. I believe you when you said that that empowerment and that strength is in you. And, Lilah, I know that you're smart enough to make the right decision because, Lilah, let me tell you something. You only have two choices: You can be silent and spend the rest of your life in prison. Or you can make a deal and testify against him, and maybe... maybe you can get out by the time you're fifty. And believe me, that's a lot of life left.
[to Arlo] You know what the worst thing is? What really pisses me off is not that you conned women out of their own money. It's not that you convince women that it's in their best interest to sleep with you. It's not that you demean women or humiliate women. What really disgusts me is that you make women feel good about themselves. Empowered. Addicted to feeling invincible. You know, I can see that you're intelligent. Empathetic. So, you make women feel safe. They feel heard. And because they trust you, they share their deepest insecurities, their weaknesses, with you. And then you use those vulnerabilities to destroy them. You, Mr. Beck, are the worst kind of predator there is.
AArlo
[applauding sarcastically] That was beautiful, Lieutenant.
Arraign this prick.
Grace, I’m Lieutenant Olivia Benson. This is Detective Dominick Carisi. How are you feeling?
Like a herd of elephants did the Texas 2-Step on my head.
They say talking makes things better. Try reasoning with a 6-year-old.
You said if I looked at the bastard who hurt me in the eye and I told him how he ruined my life, that would start the healing. He’s dead, goddamn it! There is no healing!
[at her rapist’s grave] The last 3 years of my life I’ve been living on the street, using newspapers and garbage bags to stay warm. I let strange men use my body in exchange for food, protection, drugs. I was 18. I was supposed to be finishing my second semester of college. I lost time with my friends, my studies, my dad. You got your few measly minutes of sexual gratification, and I lost my life. I will never forgive you for what you did to me, Professor, but hopefully I can move on with help from my family and my friends. I’m going to survive. Yes, I am.
Who the hell stabs a kid?
Top of my head? The devil.
You killed them, didn't you, Anna? You did this.
AAnna
[pause] Of course I did this. I had to.
You had to kill your children?
AAnna
[crying] Don't you see? They're so much better off now.
[about the flowers from Rollins' boyfriend] Those are pretty.
I said, not at the office. And he said they're not for me.
Who are they for? [Rollins gestures to her pregnant belly] Ah. Smooth.
How was court?
How do you think?
I don't care if she is crazy. That woman needs to be taken from the Earth.
You know, last night, I put Noah to bed, I kissed him goodnight, I turned out the light... and I just stood there watching him sleep for 2 hours.
I did the same thing.
[They embrace]
Sometimes life just sucks. [pause] Amanda, you should keep those flowers.
Why?
Because... because sometimes we just need a little pretty.
This other woman, the one you saw saving your family from the suffering, did you say anything to her?
AAnna
Excuse me?
You testified that it was like watching another woman. I just want to know if you spoke to her before she stabbed your husband and your children.
AAnna
No.
Did you try to stop her?
AAnna
She wasn't real.
But you thought she was, isn't that right? I mean, that's your proof that you're insane.
AAnna
No, I didn't try to stop her.
Because you wanted them dead, isn't that right?
AAnna
Because I wanted to protect them. They're better off now.
Better off than what?
AAnna
From facing a world without...
Without what, Mrs. Mill?
AAnna
Isn't it obvious?
No, it's not.
AAnna
Without me!
[disgusted] I've got news for you, Mrs. Mill... You're not so great.
OBO'Boyle
Objection!
JCJudge Catano
Sustained.
AAnna
I sheltered them. I protect them. It is a hard world, Mr. Stone, and I didn't want to watch my babies be swallowed up by it!
Then why didn't you just kill yourself?
To have any chance at trial, I'm going to have to convince Kayla to testify.
No arm-twisting, Peter.
[smiles] Don't worry. I've been watching someone who's pretty damn good at this.
