Quotes
- Olivia Benson: Sit down in the chair, Maggie.
- Maggie Peterson: Where's Elliot?
- Olivia Benson: Just us girls now. Sit! That act of yours was a whole lotta fun to watch. But you should know that it's not gonna work with me.
- Maggie Peterson: What act?
- Olivia Benson: Pretend to be a victim, you can pretend to be a whore, you can pretend to be whatever it is you wanna be. It's a joke. Maggie, you're done.
- Maggie Peterson: Where's my son?
- Olivia Benson: Oh... see, that's not gonna work either.
- Maggie Peterson: I do not believe that you are talking to me this way. I was raped more times than I can remember!
- Olivia Benson: Right, and your mom died, and your dad beat ya. (slides a paper towards Maggie)Your mom's alive. No dad on the birth certificate, you never knew him, did you? Was your mom a pro, too?
- Maggie Peterson: Where's my son? I need to see him.
- Olivia Benson: Your son? You're never gonna see that kid again. You murdered seven men for a hotel room and a manicure!
- Maggie Peterson: They raped me!
- Olivia Benson: You want the whole world to think that you're a victim? Well Maggie, you're getting your wish. Because the state's gonna kill you.
- George Huang: I'm not confident with calling the suspect a serial killer.
- Odafin Tutuola: How many guys she gotta whack until you are confident?
- Odafin Tutuola: Cause of death was between two and four hours ago... *pre-release*.
- Elliot Stabler: Is that significant?
- Odafin Tutuola: No, that's just cold.
- Nora Lewin: Do you really think the first woman the state executes should be a single mother, prostitute, rape victim....
- Elizabeth Donnelly: ...serial killer. She knew those men were violent.
- Nora Lewin: So you're saying she was asking for it?
- Alex Cabot: I see this as a coup for women everywhere. They've proven they have the right to die by lethal injection just like any man.
Background information and notes
- This episode is based off of the case of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute who claimed to have murdered 7 clients in self defense.
- DA Lewin says that Maggie Peterson would be the first woman to receive the death penalty in New York. This is incorrect; in Law & Order lore, the first woman to be executed in New York state history was Monica Johnson in 1998. (L&O: "Bad Girl")
