Quotes 

• Maggie's Attorney : [to Cabot]  So the kid's not hers. Why does it matter?

  Alex Cabot : Do you want to tell her how you got your child, Maggie or should I?

  Maggie Peterson : I don't know what you're talking about.

  Alex Cabot : Let me jog your memory. Eighteen months ago, 26-year-old Erin Byers went grocery shopping. Her body was found in the store parking lot, strangled. Her stolen car turned up a week later, intact. Her 6-month-old son was never found.

  Maggie's Attorney : You'll never be able to introduce this.

  Alex Cabot : Actually, it was your client who opened the door. Everything she does is for her child, right?

  Maggie's Attorney : The judge will call a mistrial.

  Alex Cabot : Fine. I'll just re-file and tack on the kidnapping charges, plus the murder of the mother.

  [to Maggie] 

  Alex Cabot : Do you think a jury is going to believe your "I kill men because they beat me" story now? Do you think the D.A. Is going to give you another pass on the death penalty? Try it.

  Maggie Peterson : Where's Joey?

  Alex Cabot : With his father who thought he was dead.

  Maggie's Attorney : Is there an offer on the table?

  Alex Cabot : Murder two on all counts, concurrent sentences, 15-to-20.

  Maggie's Attorney : What about the new charges?

  Alex Cabot : We'll talk about that after I file. You'll never get a better deal than this.

  Maggie Peterson : I'm not pleading guilty. I did not kill that woman. I found Joey. She threw him away.

  Alex Cabot : It's over. This whole motherhood facade, this lie you have told yourself and the whole world is going to be exposed.
