Quotes[]
- Mike Dodds: [to Rollins]: Why don't you clock out, go home?
- Rollins: Why don't you stop telling me what to do, Sergeant?
- Carisi: All right, well, technically, cops are not allowed to talk to them without their lawyers present, right? What if while the cops are illegally talking to them, they commit a crime?
- Barba: That's fun question for a bar exam.
- Rollins: Liv, I swear to God, I did not leak that video.
- Benson: So I'm supposed to believe you now? You went undercover without informing me. This is another example of you asking for forgiveness instead of permission.
- Rollins: But I... Liv, wait, wait. I've no, no, no. I'm not asking for forgiveness because I didn't do anything.
- Benson: Please stop.
- Rollins: The defense, the judge, Barba all had access to that video. Literally dozens of people could have turned it over.
- Benson: We know the defense didn't do it, Amanda, so I hope you're not seriously suggesting that it was Barba.
- Rollins: Well, I just know it wasn't me.
- Benson: You know, I thought that things would change after you had Jesse. I thought that you would think before you acted. I was hoping to get past my trust issues with you and now this.
- Rollins: I swear on my baby girl that I did not do this.
- Benson: [to Dodds about Rollins] She just stood there and she lied to my face. And I don't know what to tell your father because she swears that she didn't leak the video.
- Mike Dodds: I believe her.
- Benson: Why?
- Dodds: Because I know who did. Don't worry, it can't be traced.
- Benson: What are you telling me?
- Dodds: I don't want to put you between me and my father, so you might want to stop asking questions.
- Benson: Okay.
- Dodds: Bobby D'Amico got what he deserved. Told you I never liked the guy.
Background information and notes[]
- Early in the episode, the "set" Dodds meets D'Amico on is a real street in Washington Heights called Sylvan Terrace. The twenty wooden townhomes are privately owned residences.
