Quotes[]
Jack McCoy: Eight and a half million. The number of children sold into slavery every year.
Anita Van Buren: Well this plantation is closed.
Michael Cutter: Jack, meet the Johnsons. Eric and Miriam. On top of everything else, they're being charged with murder.
Detective Cyrus Lupo: [to the Johnsons] Let's go say hi to your friends. [takes them to a cell]
Kevin Bernard: [to a Haitian girl] Come on sweetheart, it's alright, your working days are over.
Michael Cutter: (referring to the Johnsons) I wanna rip these people a new one.
Anita van Buren: Take a number, counselor.
Anita van Buren: The State Department said they'll pressure the Haitians to keep looking for the girl.
Cyrus Lupo: Good luck. That place could swallow this whole squad without breaking a sweat.
Kevin Bernard: We'll call Rubirosa for a subpoena.
Cyrus Lupo: Well, actually, in law school, that's what we call not such a good idea.
Liz Bellamy: If we're wrong, we could get disbarred.
Fred Bellamy: Like the world can't spare two lawyers?
Cyrus Lupo: (to Bernard) Lovable divorce lawyers. It's like killing an endangered species.
Patrick Johnson: Why can't I go home?
Rubirosa: Back to the Johnsons? After what they did you?
Patrick Johnson: No. To Haiti. Why can't I go home to Haiti? That is good. I will see my Ma.
Michael Cutter: That's not how it works, Patrick. You committed a very serious crime.
Patrick Johnson: Please!
Michael Cutter: Sorry, Patrick.
Guard: (to the line of prisoners) Okay, let's go, on your feet.
Patrick Johnson: I will never be free.
