Quotes 

• Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Ready for this? We're looking for one perp. Lab found a bunch of bloody footprints all made by the same pair of shoes. And I checked VICAP; nobody's active with a similar M.O.

  Donald Cragen : It's hard to believe this sadistic son of a bitch just suddenly popped up on the radar screen.

  Dr. George Huang : Guy like this was probably in the system before. Sexual assault, rape, burglary, maybe a few street holdups.

  Detective Dave Duethorn : Pretty big step from there to making four people sodomize each other and then whacking them. What set 'em off, doc?

  Dr. George Huang : Probably one of the victims said or did something to challenge his masculinity. The sodomy was to humiliate them. Killing them was the ultimate power trip.

  John Munch : Is this nut job gonna hit again?

  Dr. George Huang : If he is a sadist, he enjoyed it, and he'll want more.

• Detective Dave Duethorn : Yo, Lucates. Take this couple up to Homicide and have Kroling get their statements, alright?

  Detective Elliot Stabler : [walking from behind]  Detective Dave Duethorn. Missed dinner with my wife and kids; this better be good.

  [they begin walking to the home] 

  Detective Dave Duethorn : Two naked women; fluids everywhere; both raped and shot in the head.

  Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : That's our bread and butter.

  Detective Dave Duethorn : So, I guess the two head-shot naked guys with them are nothing special, right?

  [they enter and Stabler looks back at Fin as a response to Duethorn's statement] 

  Detective Dave Duethorn : What do y'think?

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Looks like the party from hell.

  Detective Dave Duethorn : Dinner party, to be exact.

  Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : With an orgy for dessert.

  Detective Dave Duethorn : Except they never made it to the appetizer.

  [points] 

  Detective Dave Duethorn : Dining room table's still set. And check that out.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : [reads]  "Happy Engagement; share wonderful lives together." There's no signature; who's the unlucky couple here?

  Detective Dave Duethorn : Evan Briggs and his fiancee Melissa Ziman. Other two are Dean McCarren and Regina Valerio. The couple who found them made the IDs. Evan and Melissa invited some grad school friends over to celebrate.

  Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Not the type of evening you expect to turn into a sexual free-for-all.

  Detective Dave Duethorn : I'm thinkin' home invasion.

  [walks further into house as he talks] 

  Detective Dave Duethorn : Doorbell rings, victim opens door, wacko busts in and robs 'em.

  Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : You got four victims. Got to be at least two perps.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : What did they take?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : All the victims' jewelry. Marks on the men's wrists indicate they wore watches. The women wore necklaces.

  Detective Dave Duethorn : Their wallets and IDs are also gone, along with Ms. Ziman's two-and-a-half carat engagement ring. The couple who found them told me she got it last week. Oh, and there's something else, right, Doc?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : [bent down by a body]  Both men were beaten, probably with the business end of an automatic.

  Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Something must have set them off.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Pummeled the men and raped the women.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Not just the women.

  Detective Dave Duethorn : Excuse me?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : [turns to look at Duethorn]  The men were raped, too.

  [turns back to the downturned body] 

• Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : We got six murders in two days. Dumont dies, that makes seven.

  Detective Dave Duethorn : We got ourselves a spree killer.
