Quotes[]
- Zoe White: So what's next?
- Benson: We indict Eli and he goes to trial.
- Zoe White: Which means I have to testify.
- Benson: Yes. [noticing Zoe's expression] Zoe, what's going on? I thought this was what you wanted.
- Zoe White: No, I... I do. I do. It's just that it's... it's complicated.
- Benson: How so?
- Zoe White: I met with the head of of the M&A group at Cromwell the other night, and he suggested that I transfer to Brussels. That it would be good for my career.
- Benson: They're retaliating.
- Zoe White: I know, but... I was offered a very lucrative position at another firm. Sullivan Davis.
- Benson: What does that have to do with this?
- Zoe White: One of the conditions is that I keep a low profile.
- Benson: [realization dawns on her] They don't want you to testify. Because of Eli.
- Kate Tompkins: I'm not sure what there is to talk about. I recanted. I told the police it was consensual.
- Benson: Kate, we're not here to judge you. Okay? We understand how complex and how emotional these cases can be, believe me.
- Tutuola: We just want to know what happened that night with Eli, because we think he did it again.
- Kate Tompkins: I'm sorry to hear that. But I can't talk about it. I signed a non-disclosure agreement.
- Tutuola: Oh, he wrote you a check, huh?
- Benson: Fin.
- Tutuola: Hey, I'm just talking straight to her, okay? I know this is your life, but we have another victim, and I think she deserves justice.
- Benson: Look, Kate, we're not asking you to go public, but we do need your help. We're just trying to figure out what happened.
- Zoe White: I respect your passion, lieutenant, but you need to respect my decision.
- Benson: I do respect your decision, Zoe. And I've been doing this for a very long time, and testifying can be a crucial part of the healing process.
- Zoe White: I'm sure it is. For some people. But I am a deal maker. I make decisions based on fact, not feeling. I analyze the pros, the cons, the opportunity costs.
- Benson: I get it. I get it. So using your leverage against Eli to extract a premium deal makes you feel like a winner, not a loser. And bankers are different. You think differently, and you may heal differently, but a payoff... money for silence, never healed anyone.
- Zoe White: Okay. Let me be clear. I do not want to give Eli a pass. I would love to see that pig go to prison and get everything that he deserves. But like I said, I'm a pragmatist, and right now, based on all the data and information that I have in front of me in this moment, this is the best decision.
- Benson: If you take the money, Zoe, Eli wins. He avoids prison. And he victimizes you all over again, and... he steals your dignity one last time. But maybe I'm not the best person to talk to you about this.
- Zoe White: Excuse me?
- Benson: [opening her office door] Come on in, Kate. [Kate enters] Zoe, this is Kate. She used to work at Cromwell Moore.
Background information and notes[]
- It was revealed by Dominick Carisi, Jr. that Fin has taken the Sergeant's exam (which he was said to have been studying for in "Decline and Fall"), but is still waiting on the results.
- In a deleted scene, it is revealed that Fin has been promoted to Sergeant. The scene also revealed that Eli Colton was found guilty, with Zoe talking to reporters about the verdict.[1]
- When the detectives are interviewing Tyler he can be seen putting his coffee cup down on the table (shot from behind). However, when the shot is changed to in front he again puts his coffee cup on the table.
