Quotes
-
Captain Donald Cragen : [when Fin finds out Ken's been arrested and Fin tries to see him] You're not going in there.
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : That's my son in there, Captain. Why didn't you call me?
Captain Donald Cragen : Because he didn't want us to. He's over 18 and he's in a lot of trouble. You plan on making it worse?
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : I plan on asking him what the hell he was doing looking for a body.
Detective John Munch : When you should be asking why he called Olivia instead of you.
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : That's a separate issue and trust me, I will address that.
Detective John Munch : No doubt with your usual diplomacy.
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : [yelling] What goes on between me and my son is none of your damn business!
Captain Donald Cragen : [yelling] But it is mine! And right now, I want to know whose body it is, where it is, and who put it there.
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : You mind if I listen in?

Detective John Munch : [to Cragen] Husband's a wreck, Captain. We'll pull the murder book and go back over the canvass.
Captain Donald Cragen : That's not necessary. Ken Randall is now a viable suspect in the Stansfield homicide. I've already started a file and authorized an excavation for the lot for tomorrow morning.
[to Fin]
Captain Donald Cragen : Were you aware your son was charged with sexual assault of a neighborhood girl when he was 16?
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : No.
Captain Donald Cragen : Charges were dropped when the girl recanted.
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : You ever think she might have changed her story 'cause she lied to the police?
Captain Donald Cragen : Well, I intend to find out. Do I need to remind you to stay hands off during this investigation?
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : No, sir.
Detective John Munch : Five-year-old vacated charge is a reach, Captain. What's the motive? Where's the connection between Fin's son and the victim?
Captain Donald Cragen : Proximity. Ken Randall and his mother used to live in the building across the street from the crime scene, but since your partner already knows that, I guess lying runs in the family.
Detective John Munch : [to Fin] What the hell do you think you're doing? Why would you hide something like that?
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : I'm trying to protect my son.
Detective John Munch : From what? You think he did this?
Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola : I think if you can make a case against him, it won't matter whether he did it or not.
