Quotes
-
Donald Cragen : [to Stabler after he interrogates Stefan Henriques] What the hell was that?
Elliot Stabler : Social workers put it in his file. His biggest fear is prison. We figured stick first, carrot later.
Donald Cragen : Well, that stunt is grounds for an assault charge while in custody.
Odafin Tutuola : I'd like to see his lawyers try.
Donald Cragen : He did ask for one.
Alexandra Cabot : Well, thinking you need a lawyer and asking for one is debatable. He's an idiot, but is he guilty?
-
Donald Cragen : [to the Chief of Detectives] My squad can close this.
Chief of Detectives : You think your squad can close it. I know Moran will.
Donald Cragen : You just got promoted and your first order as Chief of Detectives is to bend me over my desk?
-
Donald Cragen : Finish that interrogation and then transport the suspect when you're done.
Elliot Stabler : Fewkes will take your command, maybe even your badge, Captain.
Donald Cragen : Only if we don't close the case. All One PP cares about are results. Never forget that.
-
Donald Cragen : You're not a team player, Moran. You hold anything else back, I'll have your ass.

Donald Cragen : There's no prints on the kiln. We can't even prove Ocurro touched it.
Odafin Tutuola : Yes, we can. The power company just confirmed Casey Chapman's kilowatt hours doubled the day of her murder.
Detective Victor Moran : Ocurro's alibi just went up in flames. He was with his mother on Sunday. Casey Chapman was murdered on Monday night. Then, he turned on the kiln to accelerate decomp.
Elliot Stabler : Making Warner think that the murder happened much earlier.
Donald Cragen : And making our killer think he got away with it.
-
Chief of Detectives : [to Cragen] You want to tell me what the hell's going on? I'm pretty sure I took you off this case.
Donald Cragen : We had a lead and ran it.
Chief of Detectives : Without informing Moran.
Elliot Stabler : Guy says he likes to work alone.
Chief of Detectives : I don't believe I was talking to you, Detective. Well, the word is out. The press blindsided me about a serial killer loose in the city and the DNA he left behind.
Donald Cragen : Then we have a leak.
Chief of Detectives : Come on. You're pissed off. This is SVU grandstanding and now you've got a pooch-screw.
Donald Cragen : It's anything but, sir. And in case you're interested, we have a suspect in custody.
Chief of Detectives : Did he confess?
Odafin Tutuola : We're still talking to him.
Chief of Detectives : Which means no.
Elliot Stabler : We'll get it done, Chief.
Chief of Detectives : You didn't even know about the other victims until Moran set you straight. He linked these cases together on his own time with a kid in the hospital.
Odafin Tutuola : What do you want us to do?
Chief of Detectives : Bring him up to speed. Then mind your own damn business.
