[after Abbie Carmichael has a seven-year-old boy arrested without consulting McCoy] I hear you're adding a children's wing to Death Row.

I could probably get an indictment for manslaughter.
Manslaughter?! They never gave that baby a chance. They faked an identity for her. They never told anyone she needed medical attention.
I don't see any intent here to kill this baby.
It's depraved indifference. Murder-2. They knew the baby was going to die. They didn't care one way or the other.
Assumption. Charge them with Man-one.
We send a message that it's sort of okay to kill a baby? This isn't a couple of teenagers who killed their newborn because they were scared. These are two adults who went to a lot of trouble to dump a dying child and to cover their tracks. I may be the new kid here, but to me this sounds like murder.
They'll be pariahs for the rest of their lives.
They lose a few friends. That's your idea of justice?
3-6 years in a state prison is not a cake walk. How many drug dealers got a free pass from you?
The ones who could give me someone bigger in return. All the Connerys have to offer is their plea-bargained remorse. She's still trying to blame it on Kostov. Did you see her husband cut her off?
She's the least culpable of the 3.
[exasperated] Oh, gentlemen, please! That sorry excuse for a woman has a hole in her soul.
That's enough.
I can take care of myself, Adam.
Then remain objective. It was Edward Connery's actions that directly caused the little girl's death, and he's an attorney. He knew what he was doing.
The Connerys will never do this again. Kostov has and will, over and over again.
Are Kostov's children better off in the new homes?
All but Marianna. [beat] I have a solution that will make us all happy.
What's that?
No deals for anybody. Let's hang 'em all.
[after Kostov and the Connerys have been convicted of the baby's death]
Man-1 all around. I'll start working on the pre-sentencing reports. Any suggestions?
You mean who should spend more time in prison? Kostov or the Connerys? Don't get me started.
We can always skip the report and take no position. Leave it to the judge.
Let's do that for the sake of world peace.
The Warings filed a petition to get their son back. We have until the end of the week to file our objections.
Can you and I agree that we're too busy?
[beat] Deal.

Good old Ray-Ray. The trick was giving him a number he couldn't forget. Three. Rhymes with "squeegee".
Your first death sentence. You OK with it?
I only have one thing bothering me. Ray-Ray, the squeegee man? The cops told him which one was Fortelli.
I know, I told them to. Perfectly legal. We were never going to use the identification at trial anyway.
Legal or not...
Major felonies, Abbie. Welcome to the bigs.

Are you gonna take the word of a dope dealer over a cop?
Wearing a badge doesn't make you a cop!
[about Rivera] Guy protects his turf.
He probably pees a circle around his desk every morning.

Aaron Downing, you're under arrest for the murder of Ryan Downing. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do say can and will be used against you. You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney...
Lennie, you can skip the next part, he's got a wad of cash, his passport, an airline ticket to the Fiji Islands.
This way, Robinson Crusoe.
[about Downing] He's the man in the gray flannel suit.
With a syringe in the pocket.

This is just about the Downing boy.
Yeah, just one dead little boy. That help you sleep better?

The New York County District Attorney's Office can't - no, won't - knowingly convict a man of the wrong crime. What are you thinking?
I'm just taking a page from the Jack McCoy playbook. Nobody gets to bend the rules but you?
I've bent the rules to convict the right person of the right crime. This isn't bending. It's turning the law against itself.
You once hid a witness to get the result you wanted.
And I was wrong then. You're wrong now. Don't wait until until you're facing a disciplinary committee to realize it.
A week from tomorrow, you'll be on a plane, sandwiched between 2 of Houston's finest.
BBergstrom
[panicked] You can't do this!
You'll have a speedy trial. Your lawyer will file a couple of appeals. He'll lose. And before you know it, bang, there's that pesky needle.
BBergstrom
[to McCoy] What are you doing? You're just sitting there. Make her shut up!
Miss Carmichael...
I'm not done. I'm going to be there, and if they'd let me do it, I'd push one of the plungers, and pray it's the one that delivers the fatal dose.
BBergstrom
Get her out of here! Get her out!
How does it feel, Mr. Bergstrom? You killed all those women, and now a woman is going to return the favor.
BBergstrom
You won't...
Pretty damn ironic, isn't it?
BBergstrom
You won't kill me, I won't let you.
Try and stop me.
BBergstrom
I'll plead to one of the other ones. The one by the train tracks.
LLazar
Hang on...
Murder-1, life without parole.
LLazar
Mr. Bergstrom...
BBergstrom
Yeah, okay! She doesn't say what happens to me!
[pause] Fine. If you change your mind, I'll be waiting...
BBergstrom
No, you sit! You listen to what I did to her. [with relish] I cut her, and she screamed. I burned her, and she screamed louder. I pushed my fist into her, and she passed out. I made her say she admired me. I had total control. Total.
