“Betrayal” · Season 18, Episode 11

In this episode: Jack McCoy (2), Michael Cutter (2), Connie Rubirosa (1), Lupo (1), Dr. Olivet (1)

[Lupo is unhappy with Cutter for browbeating a young witness into testifying against her mother.]

You learn that in law school?

Right out of law school. Nothing but drug cases for five years. Would you feel better if I offered her a lollipop?

I'd feel better if you hadn't roughed her up.

How do you think her mother got her to lie? I'm playing to win, detective, and winning means Katherine Waxman in jail.

Is this some kind of sport to you?

[pause] Stick with your law books, detective. On the page, the law is a much purer thing.

[about Waxman representing herself] She's emotional and erratic, with no background in the law. By all rights, it's a slam dunk.

People v. Fisher. Mr. Fisher crushed his fiancé's head with a hammer. Five people saw him do it, he was covered in blood and brain matter... he was acquitted. It wasn't my first case, or my tenth. It happened four years ago. No such thing as a slam dunk.

[to Dr. Olivet] You understand that you're working for the other side now. That means the gloves will have to come off.

[McCoy gave Cutter information about Dr. Olivet that he used to try to discredit her during the trial]:

That hurt, Jack.

I warned you.

You betrayed a confidence.

You went to bat for a woman who shot her husband in cold blood, and who would have killed anybody else she found in his office. If I had to betray a confidence to ensure that she goes to jail, so be it. These are the rules we live by.

This isn't your finest hour, Jack.

Nor yours.

I am a rock in a sea of chaos. I will not be bullied or broken. I'm a rock in a sea of chaos.
