Complicated (2017)

Peter Scanavino: Detective Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr.

Quotes 

• Sonny Carisi : [watching an "exclusive interview" on TV]  Something's going on here.

  Odafin Tutuola : That kid looks a little off.

  Sonny Carisi : No, no, it's more than that.

  Olivia Benson : What do you mean, Carisi?

  Sonny Carisi : I read the DD-5 from the original missing persons file. Now, at the time, Glenn told the investigators that he heard Emma scream. Then he found the underwear, and then he ran home.

  Odafin Tutuola : Now he claims he didn't hear anything?

  Sonny Carisi : Son of a bitch. He's tailoring his version of events to match hers.

  Odafin Tutuola : In the original file, was Glenn listed as a suspect?

  Sonny Carisi : Not directly, but he was interviewed a half dozen times.

  Olivia Benson : Find out why.

• Olivia Benson : We think this girl is Emma Lawrence?

  Sonny Carisi : Well, Emma disappeared in 2007. It was her first day of kindergarten. She was six years old. Now, the age seems right. She'd be sixteen now.

  Amanda Rollins : And according to the police reports, she was playing with her older brother in Prospect Park by the arch, and this girl remembers being called "Little M", the arch, the big brother.

  Olivia Benson : No, I get it. There's a ton of details here. I just... I just wish we had something concrete.

• Odafin Tutuola : I got the age progression sketch. Emma Lawrence, age six to sixteen.

  [he hands a tablet to Sonny, who shows Rollins, then hands it to Benson] 

  Sonny Carisi : Lieutenant, that's her.

  Olivia Benson : Where are the parents?

  Sonny Carisi : Bill and Karen Lawrence moved from Brooklyn to Queens with their son Glenn eight years ago.

  Olivia Benson : Well, unless we can find a reason to exclude that this girl is Emma Lawrence, family deserves to know.

• Odafin Tutuola : We've alerted the Pennsylvania State Troopers. So far, no sign of a white van with Pennsylvania plates anywhere near the Grand Concourse station or the 110th Street station.

  Amanda Rollins : Not to mention there are no orange groves in Pennsylvania, so this girl is making this story up as she goes along.

  Olivia Benson : Or, if she is Emma, she's been missing a long time. She could be confused and have gaps in her memory.

  Odafin Tutuola : Barba, can you get us a warrant for her DNA?

  Rafael Barba : I could, but I'd rather not. What if you're wrong and this girl is Emma Lawrence? That's not a call I want to get from the D.A. Not after the ledger declared the case closed. You guys are gonna have to unclose it yourselves.

  Sonny Carisi : [approaching]  I think I just did. I brought a photo of our girl over to Real Time Crime. Turns out she's wanted on a bench warrant for credit card fraud in Inverness, Florida.

  Olivia Benson : Name's Britney Taylor, date of birth 7/20/96. That makes her 21.

  Rafael Barba : That could be an alias or a fake DOB or a girl who looks similar.

  Sonny Carisi : No, I tracked down the arresting officer. He described cigarette burns and a chemical burn on her arm. That's her.
