Dennis Farina: Detective Joe Fontana

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : So what have we got?

  Detective Ed Green : We're not sure. Now, you didn't get any strange phone calls last night? Any messages, anything logged in as a missed call?

  Olivia Benson : No. And you're certain that your vic was trying to call me?

  Detective Joe Fontana : His life flashed before his eyes. You were the star player.

  Olivia Benson : And you say his name is Patrick Sullivan?

  Detective Ed Green : Ring any bells?

  Olivia Benson : None.

  Detective Joe Fontana : Maybe his face will.

  Olivia Benson : [Green pulls back the sheet over the victim]  Never seen him before in my life.

  Detective Joe Fontana : Which begs the question...

  Olivia Benson : Why did he die trying to call me?

• Anita Van Buren : You check the SVU database?

  Odafin Tutuola : BADS, NITRO, online complaints. Patrick Sullivan doesn't show up as a victim or a perp in any of our files.

  Anita Van Buren : [to Fontana and Green]  Walk me through this crime scene again.

  Detective Ed Green : 16th floor of an empty office building. The victim was supine with a bullet to the chest.

  Odafin Tutuola : Fluids?

  Detective Joe Fontana : Victims's blood, but something tells me that's not what you're asking.

  Detective Ed Green : He was alone and zipped up.

  Anita Van Buren : Which doesn't sound like a sex crime.

  Olivia Benson : Exactly. So why did he try to call me?

  Detective Ed Green : [to Benson]  Just 'cause he's not in your files, doesn't mean he's not connected to a case.

  Olivia Benson : Good luck. I give out thousands of business cards a year. Victims, families, witnesses. I mean... could be anybody.

  Detective Joe Fontana : Well, there is something else we should consider, Detective Benson. Suppose this is not about a case. Suppose it's personal.

• Olivia Benson : Real piece of work. That's Lorraine Dillon. The blonde is April Troost, her daughter. 25, IQ off the charts, but good luck trying to find a heartbeat.

  Detective Joe Fontana : You had 'em on racketeering?

  Olivia Benson : And they walked. Not this time.

  Detective Joe Fontana : You realize this is a long shot?

  Olivia Benson : Sullivan died trying to call me. You were right. This was personal.
