Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : [about Haley]  Okay, look, she is 16 years old. Best-case scenario is, she met a guy and she lost track of time. Worst case... let's not go there.

• Peter Stone : So, our suspect is a butcher who likes to dress up as a clown?

  Olivia Benson : Vincent Drago, 22. Has a history of DV, stalking, menacing. His ex-girlfriend has a restraining order out against him.

  Peter Stone : Menacing?

  Olivia Benson : He threatened her with a cleaver.

  Peter Stone : Anger management issues and access to knives. Great.

• Amanda Rollins : Lab results are back. The blood in his apartment and his car are a match to Haley, and they also found traces of bleach.

  Peter Stone : Yeah, your working theory just became probable cause. Make the arrest.

  Amanda Rollins : But there's... there's something else. CSU found that in his car.

  Olivia Benson : [Rollins shows her a picture on her phone]  That's Haley's necklace.

  Peter Stone : She was in his car.

  Amanda Rollins : They found that in his trunk.

• Olivia Benson : I thought you were in court.

  Peter Stone : My first witness, James Turner, the chaperone, was a no-show.

  Amanda Rollins : He's not at the hotel?

  Peter Stone : No, he checked out last night. He's not answering his cell. I called his wife. She said last time they spoke, he was nervous about testifying.

  Odafin Tutuola : You think Turner went home?

  Peter Stone : I sent local PD to sit on his house. The wife won't let them in. I could get a warrant.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : That could take all day.

  Amanda Rollins : [on her phone]  I mean, Beaver Falls is six hours away.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : The way you drive, we can make that in four.

• Chris Sadler : [about a suspect in Haley's disappearance]  I wanna look that son of a bitch in the eye.

  Olivia Benson : It's not gonna be possible.

  Chris Sadler : Well, what are we supposed to do? Just sit around the hotel, waiting by the phone?

  Anna Sadler : Chris, It's okay.

  Olivia Benson : I can assure you that we are doing everything in our power.

  Chris Sadler : Not good enough. I... I want you to promise us that you'll find her.

  Amanda Rollins : We wanna be realistic. We ask you to hope for the best, but prepare...

  Chris Sadler : No, I'm not preparing for anything, all right? Haley needs me. She needs me to keep believing that she's alive. I'm the one keeping her alive. The only one.

• Hadley Sadler : James is my real father. It makes perfect sense.

  Olivia Benson : What?

  Hadley Sadler : I've always felt this connection. We both love music and art. We're alike. I played the Hammerklavier when I was 12. I knew my father couldn't be a garbage man. I just knew it.

• Olivia Benson : How long are you gonna torture her parents?

  Peter Stone : Are you always this persistent?

  Olivia Benson : Wait 'till you get to know me.

• Olivia Benson : [about the case]  I hope this doesn't put you on the next train back to Chicago.

  Peter Stone : I made someone a promise.

  Olivia Benson : Jack McCoy?

  Peter Stone : Actually, my sister, Pamela. She's in a facility upstate. She has schizophrenia.

  Olivia Benson : I'm so sorry.

  Peter Stone : Our father used to visit her once a week. Now that's on me.

  Olivia Benson : That's a lot. Look, if you, uh... if you ever feel like talking...

• Peter Stone : Turner pled guilty to rape two, kidnapping, endangering a minor, and incest.

  Olivia Benson : Well...

  Peter Stone : He's on suicide watch. He had no idea Haley was his daughter?

  Olivia Benson : No, he didn't, and neither did Haley.

  Peter Stone : So, how...

  Olivia Benson : It's called genetic sexual attraction. When a father and daughter don't grow up in the same household, and then they meet as adults... it can happen.

  Peter Stone : What do you do?

  Olivia Benson : You recommend the best therapist you know, and you... pray to God that they can work through it.

• Olivia Benson : Are you gonna charge Drago?

  Peter Stone : It's tough to make a murder case without a body.
