Quotes
-
Detective Olivia Benson : Where's Josie?
Cole Roderick : Haven't seen her for weeks.
Detective Elliot Stabler : What kind of father are you, don't even know where your children are?
-
A.D.A. Casey Novak : You're going to jail for the rest of your life. Why should we believe you?
Cole Roderick : Because I'm not denying that I murdered six people. I may have been a strict parent, but I never lied.
-
Cole Roderick : I'm a provider. They come to me as refugees from Babylon.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Babylon?
Cole Roderick : Yeah, your world. Where drones work McJobs and have no idea what it is to really be free. Where adults prey on children for sex behind closed doors. I set them free.
Detective Elliot Stabler : You make them rob and murder for you.
Cole Roderick : Whatever they do, they do to support the only real father they have ever known.
Detective Elliot Stabler : You've got some set on you saying you're a real father.
Cole Roderick : My father was a violent bastard who used to pound on me for laughs, okay? It was run or die. I've been on the streets my whole life. I understand my kids because they're just like me.
Detective Elliot Stabler : They're your pawns. You're a sociopath.
Cole Roderick : [stands up] And you're a hypocrite!
Detective Elliot Stabler : Sit down.
Cole Roderick : You lock up your kids and you call that love. I give them real love. Freedom to be themselves, freedom from the abuse.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, and if they cross you, you kill them.
Cole Roderick : If someone threatened your family, wouldn't you kill to protect them?
-
Cole Roderick : You're gonna break my wrist!
Detective Elliot Stabler : I'm Irish, but I'm not that lucky. Cole Roderick, you're under arrest for the murder of Shelby Crawford, Paige Beddles, and Josie Knox. You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
-
Detective Elliot Stabler : You recognize them?
Cole Roderick : Man, get this stuff away from me.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Matter, Cole? You don't like tripping down memory lane?
Cole Roderick : No, I don't like liars. You PhotoShopped all that.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Well, we sure as hell didn't fake these. Read 'em. They're crime stories. Read 'em. They're yours. Even after you killed Josie, she still helped us nail your ass to the wall.
-
Cole Roderick : I would never hurt Cassidy. I loved her.
Detective Olivia Benson : But what you loved wasn't real. She lied to you - about everything. She disrespected you.
