- Detective Elliot Stabler: How did she manipulate you into getting her that tattoo?
- Carl Vasko: It was my idea. She showed me a picture. I wanted her to have it for good luck.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Well, it worked. She needed it to pass herself off as another person. She ran away to another family. Complete strangers are better than you, you disgusting piece of filth.
- Carl Vasko: Where's Kristen? I'd like to see her.
- Detective Olivia Benson: And I would like to see you castrated with a rusty steak knife. Neither are gonna happen, but we can both dream.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: [Talking into radio] Got a runner!
- [Stabler chases Vasko through house, commanding him to stop]
- Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: [Punches Vasko in face, causing him to drop] We got a dropper.
- Captain Donald Cragen: What, are you waiting for an invitation?
- [Olivia and Elliot turn around to Cragen]
- Detective Olivia Benson: Just thought we'd give Vasko a taste of his own medicine.
- Captain Donald Cragen: I think he's familiar with the tactics of breaking someone. All you're giving him is time to lawyer up.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: We're buying ourselves some.
- [Melinda comes]
- Detective Elliot Stabler: You got something?
- Dr. Melinda Warner: It's too soon for DNA results, so I ran an individual specific auto-antibodies test on Mr. Vasko. It's not admissible in court yet but, uh, it only takes two hours.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Well, how did we get a court order for his DNA already?
- Detective Elliot Stabler: We didn't need one. Vasko ran, Fin clotheslined him, bloodied up his nose on Fin's sleeve.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: And Fin was kind enough to pass it along to me. He's a match for the semen on your girl's dress.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [smiles slightly] That's all we need.
- [starts walking]
- Dr. Melinda Warner: Hold on. I'm not finished. I did get the DNA results from your Jane Doe's rape kit. She's not Heather.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: We figured that one out ourselves.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: Did you know her name is Kirsten Vuscelik?
- Captain Donald Cragen: What, she's in the system?
- Dr. Melinda Warner: No, in CODIS. She was abducted in Ohio six years ago. Her mother Marcie was certain it as a parental kidnapping.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Heather, the man that was holding you, did her ever take you outside?
- Heather Hallander: No, never. I've told you that.
- Detective Olivia Benson: We have a chance to catch your abuser. That's why there's no reason for you to hold back any important details.
- Heather Hallander: Like what?
- Detective Olivia Benson: Like St. Francis Cathedral.
- Heather Hallander: I don't know what you're talking about.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Based on your reaction, I would say that you do. Somebody saw you there. They saw you with an older man.
- Heather Hallander: They're lying.
- Detective Olivia Benson: I really want to help you. But I can't unless you're honest with me.
- Heather Hallander: I want you to go now.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Heather, please, listen to...
- Heather Hallander: Go! He raped me every day. He stole my childhood from me. And if you don't believe me, then get out!
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Doc, was she abducted or not?
- Dr. George Huang: I wouldn't rule it out.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Even with the lies about her field trips to church?
- Dr. George Huang: After four years, he's established total domination over her. Heather's programmed to follow orders blindly and without question. The ultimate test of his power is taking her out in public.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Well, that doesn't bother me. I mean, he took her to a church. You got two hundred people there, it's a sanctuary. Why not scream, ask for help?
- Dr. George Huang: Because his control over her was so complete she couldn't. I once worked a case in Rochester where the perp took a victim who he had kept for two years to a karaoke bar. They got up and they sang a song together. No one suspected.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Heather is safe now. Why isn't she helping?
- Dr. George Huang: Extreme Stockholm syndrome.
- Detective Olivia Benson: She's bonded with her captor as a survival mechanism and now has this misguided need to protect him.
- [her phone rings]
- Detective Olivia Benson: Detective Benson. Where are they taking her? I'm on my way.
- [hanging up]
- Detective Olivia Benson: Heather slit her wrists.
- Captain Donald Cragen: That was a little too convincing.
- Detective Olivia Benson: It was brilliant. Elliot's gonna sucker a full confession out of that idiot.
- Captain Donald Cragen: While you do what?
- Detective Olivia Benson: Kristen's seventy-two hour psych hold is up. I gotta get the Hallanders to drop the charges before she's transferred to the Tombs.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Liv, I checked. Kristen's already on her way there.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Well, I gotta get her out.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Munch and Fin went to talk to the Hallanders.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Where's Greylek?
- Captain Donald Cragen: She's tracking down Judge Andrews at a black tie event.
- Detective Olivia Benson: You didn't see that basement. I cannot let this girl sit in a cell all night.
- Heather Hallander: [offscreen as Olivia enters the hospital room] Hi, Olivia. My dad thinks I should go to college, so he dropped off these study guides to get me started.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [unaffected] That's nice.
- Heather Hallander: [looks down at Olivia's hands; more apprehensive] Is that my clarinet?
- Detective Olivia Benson: It is. I thought, uh - thought you could play something for me.
- [opens case]
- Heather Hallander: I don't think I'd remember how.
- Detective Olivia Benson: You were first chair; why don't you try putting it together and see what comes back?
- Heather Hallander: I - I don't really feel like it right now.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [pulls up a seat] Musta gotten that tattoo when you were young. What's the story?
- Heather Hallander: There's no story. I - just got it.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Where?
- Heather Hallander: [pauses] Tattoo parlor.
- Detective Olivia Benson: No, you didn't. The boy Nikki was dating bought a kit on eBay. They convinced Heather to let him give her a tattoo.
- [Heather/Kristen looks up horrified]
- Detective Olivia Benson: The Hallanders were furious. Nikki never saw the boy again. Heather was grounded for a month.
- Heather Hallander: [nervous] I'm Heather. I - I'm Heather.
- Detective Olivia Benson: When Heather went missing, the lab took DNA from her toothbrush. We're gonna run the DNA from your rape kit. In a few days, when the results come back, we're gonna compare the two.
- [Heather/Kristen noticeably more agitated as Olivia speaks]
- Detective Olivia Benson: I don't understand how a mother wouldn't know her own child.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Yeah, but Mrs. Hallander didn't recognize this girl until sister Erica saw that tattoo on her wrist.
- Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: Munch, zoom in on the ink. Put 'em up side by side.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Looks the same to me.
- Sergeant John Munch: Except they're mirror images. On this one, the stem curved to the right; on this one, it curves to the left.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Girl's a con artist.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Then why would she try to kill herself?
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Maybe she knew the game was up.
- Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: Who's gonna break it to the Hallanders that their real daughter's still missing?
- [walks away]
- Detective Olivia Benson: Let me talk to Heather first.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Liv, she's not Heather.
- [walks away behind Fin as Olivia still studies tattoo photos on the screen]
- Captain Donald Cragen: $4,595 for one 35mm digital camera, and the Ledger is demanding disciplinary action against you.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: I never touched the guy. I just can't believe the vultures got a photo off their memory card.
- Captain Donald Cragen: "Sex Slave and the City". Classy.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Used to be no one would ever publish a rape victim's photo.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Well, that was before newspapers started going the way of the dodo. I'm sure readership will be up today.
- Detective Olivia Benson: That was Heather's father. She's not feeling well; drive-along's off.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: She saw the paper.
- Detective Olivia Benson: They tried to keep it from her, but the sister Nikki slipped her a copy.
- Sergeant John Munch: The brat sister isn't helping at all. You ask me, we bring Nikki in here for a sit-down.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: What, are you a social worker now?
- Sergeant John Munch: Hardly.
- Sergeant John Munch: The day Heather ran out after Nikki called her fat, mom sent the brat after her to apologize.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Nikki never found Heather.
- Sergeant John Munch: Yeah, so she claims.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Nikki was sixteen years old. What'd she do, sell her younger sister as a sex slave?
- Sergeant John Munch: No, but maybe she saw her get in the van.
- Detective Olivia Benson: And never said anything?
- Sergeant John Munch: Nikki admitted that she tormented her little sister. Maybe she was glad to see her go. Parents said that she's been on a downward spiral ever since. Sounds like guilt to me.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Or acting like a teenager.
- [Munch heads to his desk]
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Anything back from forensics?
- Detective Olivia Benson: Scarring from long-term sexual abuse, but no DNA in the rape kit.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Well, Heather scrubbed herself clean. We kind of expected that.
- Detective Olivia Benson: The lab found semen on the dress. They're working up a DNA profile now.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: If we're lucky, the perp's already in the system.
- Heather Hallander: [hounded by the press as she returns home] Are they gonna print my photo?
- Detective Olivia Benson: Not if he has a conscience.
- Reporter Steve Harris: Heather, what was the lowest point of your four years in captivity?
- Detective Elliot Stabler: You take a step in that building, I'll arrest you for trespassing.
- [to Harris' photographer]
- Detective Elliot Stabler: You, be a human being. Erase the photos.
- Reporter Steve Harris: What world do you live in? Cute, middle-class white girl held as a sex slave. The story's huge.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: [ignoring him, he turns to face the photographer again] I asked you nice once. Come on. I'm asking you nice.
- Photographer: [retreating, he stumbles and falls, his camera breaking on the pavement] Son of a bitch!
- Detective Elliot Stabler: [sarcastic] That's a shame. Looks expensive.
