Mariska Hargitay: Lieutenant Olivia Benson

Quotes 

• Peter Stone : When I first came to New York, I spent all my time at the hospital with my father. And every afternoon, I'd go down to the cafeteria, grab a cup of coffee. My father died while I was asking one of the servers down there for some half-and-half.

  Olivia Benson : That must've been hard.

  Peter Stone : It would've been a lot harder if the doctor had harvested his organs before I got back to his room.

  Olivia Benson : You should've seen the look in the parents' eyes when I told them.

  Peter Stone : You did the right thing, Olivia.

  Olivia Benson : And if that little boy in Buffalo dies because I did the right thing?

  Peter Stone : Things are never easy when they're not black and white.

• Olivia Benson : NYPD! Stop.

  Pilot : What's the problem?

  Olivia Benson : I need to take custody of this cooler. The organ may be evidence of a crime.

  Pilot : There's a terminally ill boy being prepped right now for a heart transplant.

  Olivia Benson : He's gonna have to wait for another one.

  Pilot : It's a miracle we have this one. He's been on the list for three years. So we're good to go?

  Olivia Benson : I don't know. I... uh, I need more time.

  Pilot : It's wheels up now or this kid's probably gonna die.

• Pilot : [to Olivia]  Please, Lieutenant, you're making a huge mistake.

  Olivia Benson : I wish I had a choice.

  Pilot : You do. Just give me the cooler. I'll say I ignored your orders.

  Olivia Benson : I can't let you do that. You'd be committing a crime.

  Pilot : I promise I'll turn myself in once I get that heart to Buffalo. What if this was your sick kid, and that was the answer to all your prayers?

  Odafin Tutuola : Liv, maybe you and I got here too late.

  Olivia Benson : I can't. I'm sorry.

• Olivia Benson : [When Dr. Franchella removes a teenage girl's heart for a transplant without parental consent]  You need explicit consent.

  Dr. Franchella : And the law is wrong.

  Olivia Benson : That's not for you to decide.

  Dr. Franchella : Would you bend the law to save a life, Lieutenant?

  [Olivia doesn't answer] 

  Dr. Franchella : Right. You didn't strike me as an absolutist.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : We tracked down 35 children whose organs were harvested by Dr. Franchella, but only four families recall signing donation consent forms.

  Olivia Benson : What about the other 31?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : They claimed they didn't sign anything.

  Odafin Tutuola : It wasn't easy telling 'em their dead kid's organs were in somebody else.

  Amanda Rollins : Better you than me.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah. Now, even though the families didn't consent, there's a completed form for each kid.

  Odafin Tutuola : I'm no expert, but the handwriting's the same on all the forms.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, look at the sevens. Every time she uses one for a date or the time, it's got a European cross.

  Amanda Rollins : Well, Dr. Franchella studied at Oxford for two years.

  Olivia Benson : So she signed all 31 consent forms. At a minimum, that's forgery.

• Dr. Franchella : What's going on?

  Olivia Benson : Zoe Bergkamp's incision; the one on her chest?

  Dr. Franchella : Yes?

  Odafin Tutuola : Why'd you cut her open like that?

  Dr. Franchella : To harvest her organs. Two beautiful kidneys, a liver, and a heart.

  Olivia Benson : Did the Bergkamps sign off on this?

  Dr. Franchella : Well, not exactly.

  Olivia Benson : Yes or no?

  Dr. Franchella : No.

• Peter Stone : When you vetted Dr. Franchella's financials, there was a notation about her charitable donations.

  Olivia Benson : Mm-hmm.

  Peter Stone : Could she be laundering money she's getting for organs through those donations?

  Olivia Benson : I'll have my people check it out.
