Quotes 

• Rafael Barba : Monsignor Mulregan's visit was not a social call. He has made some very serious allegations.

  Olivia Benson : Yeah. Against Father Eugene.

  Rafael Barba : No. Against Tucker.

  Olivia Benson : Allegations against Tucker? What did the monsignor say, exactly?

  Rafael Barba : He said that he and Father Eugene went to Tucker a year ago. That they had information that Vice was running some of their students. Father Eugene even violated the seal of the confessional to provide evidence.

  Olivia Benson : He claims that?

  Rafael Barba : They also named Russo and Jefferson. And Tucker buried it.

  Olivia Benson : And he's telling you this now? This is about protecting Father Eugene. I was there, at that church, when Tucker confronted him. I thought he was gonna rip his head off.

  Rafael Barba : I don't know. I don't know. I mean, maybe... maybe... maybe that's what he wanted you to think.

  Olivia Benson : No, Ed is not capable of that.

  Rafael Barba : Since when? I thought SVU hated this guy. He's gone after each and every one of you.

  Olivia Benson : That's his job. He has to be relentless. You're wrong about him. Trust me.

  Rafael Barba : Wait. Are you involved with him?

  Olivia Benson : Don't ask me that.

  Rafael Barba : When were you gonna tell me? I am informing you that a captain at IAB may be involved in a sex trafficking ring, and you don't mention that the two of you are sleeping together?

  Olivia Benson : You're wrong about him. Bring him in here, ask him yourself.

  Rafael Barba : You and I are done talking.

• Ed Tucker : So what have you heard?

  Olivia Benson : That Group One is investigating you for sex trafficking, corruption, murder?

  Ed Tucker : Yeah. I've been invited to come in early tomorrow morning.

  Olivia Benson : Oh, my god.

  Ed Tucker : Cousin Eugene really set me up good. You get those warrants yet?

  Olivia Benson : No, they're stalled. I don't know if it was before or after Barba found out that I was... biased towards you.

  Ed Tucker : Oh. Okay. You know how this goes. Don't stick your neck out. It'll look like you're covering for me.

  [seeing she's worried, he takes her hand] 

  Ed Tucker : Hey. They can't prove anything because I haven't done anything. All right? I'm gonna be fine.

  Olivia Benson : And we just let these guys skate?

  Ed Tucker : You wanna go after the Church, City Hall, and Albany for an IAB investigator who's loathed by half of NYPD? Stay out of it.

  Olivia Benson : [her phone chirps]  Well, it just might be too late. 1PP wants to see me. Immediately.

• [last lines] 

  Mike Dodds : Is everything all right?

  Olivia Benson : Oh, I'm fine.

  Mike Dodds : Lieutenant, what's going on?

  Olivia Benson : You'd know better than me.

  Mike Dodds : Did something happen?

  Olivia Benson : You're telling me that you didn't know?

  Mike Dodds : Know what?

  Olivia Benson : [Carisi enters with evidence boxes, Rollins right behind him]  That I'm out. Effective immediately. Uh, Carisi, Rollins, as of now, Sergeant Dodds is acting commander of SVU, so... congratulations.

  [the three of them are speechless] 

  Olivia Benson : That's it. You're dismissed.
