Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Amanda Rollins : One of them took a plea. The other wants to go to trial.

  Steven Kaplan : Will Raina have to testify? I don't think she's up to facing them in court.

  Amanda Rollins : You'll have time, Raina.

  Raina Punjabi : I'll be fine. Women in gaming. What did I expect?

  Amanda Rollins : You didn't deserve this.

  Raina Punjabi : Whatever. I'm out.

  Amanda Rollins : You said if you gave up, they'd win.

  Raina Punjabi : They already did.

• Amanda Rollins : So you spend all day with a gun in your holster and you still go home and play, like, shoot-'em-up games after work.

  Odafin Tutuola : Sometimes all night.

  Amanda Rollins : What am I missing here?

  Odafin Tutuola : See, at work, I got 1PP, I got Barba, they get in my way. At home, it's just me and my clan. It's simple: no gray. Just shoot the other team. Go get the bad guy.

  Amanda Rollins : All right. Are you so addictied that you have to play right at this second? Come on, Fin, not at the dinner table.

  Odafin Tutuola : I'm sorry, I just found a live stream of Raina. She's being interviewed.

  Jack Vale : So, Raina, people are commenting. I'm gonna read one for you. "There'd be no game if Miss Punjabi hadn't banged the money man."

  Raina Punjabi : Steven and I are getting married.

  Jack Vale : So you'd agree that the criticisms of your work are rooted in misogyny?

  Amanda Rollins : This guy's supposed to be on our side, and he's still giving her a hard time.

  Raina Punjabi : Jack, you're roping me into a feminist debate. I'm here to discuss my game.

  NYPD SWAT officer : NYPD! On the ground! Get on the ground!

  Jack Vale : Raina? Everything okay?

  NYPD SWAT officer : Let's go! Get down! Hands on your head!

  Jack Vale : What's going on? What's happening?

  NYPD SWAT officer : Secure that!

  Jack Vale : Raina? Raina, are you okay?

• Olivia Benson : Okay, Raina got doxxed, her personal info published, I get that, but SWATted? Help me out here

  Amanda Rollins : It's an anonymous call to 911 sending the SWAT team to your home. These guys play dirty.

  Olivia Benson : Even so, how is this SVU-related?

  Odafin Tutuola : Wait till you see these threats.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : Sarge, this is Raina Punjabi and her fiancé and business partner, Steven Kaplan.

  Olivia Benson : Okay. Thank you for coming in.

  Raina Punjabi : I didn't exactly have a choice.

  Olivia Benson : I understand some serious threats have been made. They hacked your company's website?

  Raina Punjabi : We're back online.

  Olivia Benson : Anything specific?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah. They're threatening violence against Raina and her female employees.

  Olivia Benson : "Fair warning. If Raina Punjabi dares to go through with the launch tomorrow, we'll make sure that her raped and mutilated corpse is on the front page of every feminist blog by next week."

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : That's a specific threat, not protected by free speech.

  Amanda Rollins : And here's another one of his threats.

  Ryan : That slut Raina deserves all the pain that's coming to her. Her game is derivative, mind-numbing garbage. She's a whore. She used sex to get where she is, and if she and her social justice warriors don't leave gaming now, we will make them.

  Amanda Rollins : And there are dozens of others like this. Threatening rape. Threatening attacks during the launch at the Birch Pavillion.

  Olivia Benson : And we can't trace where these are coming from?

  Odafin Tutuola : They upload it through the dark net just like the doxxing, so no.

  Olivia Benson : Okay. And, uh, the launch is scheduled for tomorrow?

  Steven Kaplan : At noon.

  Olivia Benson : So would you consider postponing?

  Raina Punjabi : This isn't a little lecture I invited my friends to. It is *the* launch event of an international game rollout. It's being live-streamed in 18 countries. Every major gaming site is sending a rep.

  Olivia Benson : Yeah, I understand that, but these are public death threats.

  Raina Punjabi : All the more reason why we can't postpone. Ever since the SWATing went viral, I'm being called the face of women in gaming. Tomorrow I'm doing an interview on CNBC. Then I'm ringing the old NASDAQ bell.

  Odafin Tutuola : I mean, you can do all that, but the launch itself, can't you tape it and stream it later?

  Raina Punjabi : If we do that, they've won. I'm showing the world that I'm intimidated by cyber terrorists. I won't make the same mistake Sony did. Better to be called a bitch than a coward.

  Steven Kaplan : Raina.

  Raina Punjabi : Look, I came down here, I'm cooperating, and I appreciate that you have a job to do. So just so we're clear, you have officially warned me. I accept all liability. But I absolutely do not want a visible police presence. No ESU, no bomb sniffing dogs. Please. I have to go home and get some sleep.

  Steven Kaplan : Thank you, detectives.

  Olivia Benson : She's serious about her work, I get it. She doesn't want to be compromised. How many people are going to this thing tomorrow?

  Odafin Tutuola : At least 500.

  Olivia Benson : Raina may not be worried about herself, but all the people in the audience?

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : Yeah, we can't let this thing happen. I've got some friends at FDNY. I'm sure they could find some violations, shut the Birch Pavillion down.

  Amanda Rollins : Raina's right. We do that, the cyber terrorists win.

  Olivia Benson : Guys, we have the resources to keep a low-key presence. Call the Birch Pavillion and coordinate it.
