Quotes[]
- Benson: So, Emilia, I was hoping that you might be able to remember some more details about the man who attacked you.
- Emilia Barassi: I'm sorry.
- Benson: That's okay. Can you tell us where you were before you got into the cab?
- Emilia: I was at my friend's house. Tommy Burke. But he didn't do anything.
- Benson: Okay. Because if I know where the cab picked you up, then that would help us find him. How about your clothes? You have any idea what happened to them?
- Emilia: I left them at Tommy's, but it's not what you were thinking. We were just playing a kind of poker where you...
- Benson: Where if you lose, you lose your clothes. Gotcha. I was a teenager once.
- Carisi: Listen, let me talk to these girls. I want to brush up on my Italian.
- Rollins: Well, you can brush up on your English while you're at it. Both the girls went to an American school over there. They sound like they grew up in Westport.
- Carisi: You're kidding me.
- Rollins: No, I'm telling you, I have more of an accent than they do.
- [about Emilia]
- Oscar Groves: That girl was flashing her tig old biddies, man. What she expect?
- Carisi: Is that a confession? 'Cause it sure sounds like one to me.
- Tutuola: Let's go tell it to the D.A.
- Richard Matthews: What I did with my girls wasn't dirty, Detective. It was beautiful.
- Tutuola: What about your wife?
- Richard: She had her day.
- Benson: Emilia, do you really remember being molested by your father? [Emilia shakes her head] I didn't think so. Emilia, who told you that? Who put that idea in your head?
- Emilia: Lara. She said he did it to her, too. I didn't believe her.
- Benson: Did Richard tell you that, as well?
- Emilia: I didn't believe him, but he proved it.
- Benson: He proved it? How? How could he prove it?
- Emilia: I don't want to talk about it.
- Benson: Emilia, this is very important. How could he prove it?
- Emilia: With his fingers.
- Benson: Oh, sweetheart.
- Emilia: He put them inside me and he said...
- Benson: And what did he say?
- Emilia: He said he loved me.
- Benson: Emilia, that's not love, honey. He hurt you. He brainwashed you. It's called grooming.
- Emilia: Why would he do that?
- Benson: Because he wanted you to do what he wanted.
