Quotes 

• Odafin Tutuola : [watching Kat box]  Kat looks good.

  Amanda Rollins : Everybody looks good 'til they get popped in the mouth.

• Odafin Tutuola : Kat threw down. Our girl can fight.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah. She can drink, too, huh?

  Odafin Tutuola : That's why I drove her home.

  [seeing Kat come in] 

  Odafin Tutuola : Here she is. Rocky Tamin. What's up?

  Amanda Rollins : [seeing the bruise around her eye]  Ooh, nice shiner.

  Katriona Tamin : Uh-huh. You and Carisi were hitting it pretty hard last night. You get home okay?

  Amanda Rollins : Eh.

  Odafin Tutuola : You had it, rookie, 'til you went to the overhand.

  Katriona Tamin : Yeah, yeah. The captain in?

• Olivia Benson : Barba sends his regards.

  Amanda Rollins : How's he doing?

  Olivia Benson : He's in Iowa, uh, tilting at windmills. Where's Kat?

  Odafin Tutuola : Oh, I let her out early so she could warm up for a boxing match. We're all going, remember?

  Olivia Benson : Oh, I totally forgot. Um... uh... I-I have an appointment.

  Odafin Tutuola : An appointment?

  Amanda Rollins : Let it go, Fin. Meet us after.

  Olivia Benson : You know what, I can't. Noah has a rehearsal, but wish Kat good luck for me.

  Odafin Tutuola : [watching her leave]  She just needs time. She'll be okay.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : That's the, uh... that's the guy who runs Kat's gym, right?

  Katriona Tamin : Romeo Solis. When I got back into boxing a year ago, everyone told me he was the best.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Ah. But?

  Amanda Rollins : He may be sexually involved with an underage boxer.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Great. So what's his story?

  Odafin Tutuola : No record. Box full of awards and honorary degrees.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Who's the complainant?

  Olivia Benson : Well, she hasn't disclosed yet.

  Amanda Rollins : So what do you have?

  Katriona Tamin : I interrupted her and Romeo behind a locked door. They weren't working out.

  Odafin Tutuola : He also set Kat up. He tipped off her opponent to Kat's fight plan.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : So that's why you got tagged.

  Katriona Tamin : Look, I might've lost anyway, but he was pretty pissed when I called him out. Had her do his dirty work.

• Romeo Solís : Maldita perra sucker-punched me, man. No way some chick knocks me out.

  Odafin Tutuola : Why were you two going at it?

  Romeo Solís : It don't matter. Load of bull anyway.

  Odafin Tutuola : She say anything about Cami?

  Romeo Solís : Ain't nothing to say.

  Odafin Tutuola : Cami said you two are in love.

  Romeo Solís : [amused snickering]  It's a Mickey Mouse crush, man. My girls mistake mentorship for relationship.

  Odafin Tutuola : It's not a mistake when you sleep with 'em and sext 'em.

  Romeo Solís : Yo, she's lying. And your girl, Kat, she set me up.

  Odafin Tutuola : And why would she do that?

  EMT : [putting an oxygen mask on Romeo]  My ambulance. Stop talking.

• Odafin Tutuola : That's not love. That's just rape.

  Katriona Tamin : So now we arrest him?

  Odafin Tutuola : Well, no. Now we get Romeo's side of the story. You good with that?

  Olivia Benson : Yeah, go. Also, I'm gonna need a warrant for their cell phones, his office...

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : I got you covered.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : Lot of people here. Kat any good?

  Odafin Tutuola : She could whip your ass, counselor.

  Amanda Rollins : Do we know anything about this opponent?

  Santos Morales : Hell, yeah. It's my daughter. Esperanza Morales, huh? Most knockouts in the gym.

  Graciela Morales : Yeah, total killer. Kat's a stepping stone.

  Odafin Tutuola : Our money's on the girl from Gowanus.

• Sasha Rose : We were a family, and now we're broken. I don't know who to believe.

  Amanda Rollins : We know you and Esperanza are close. Anything you saw could help her.

  Odafin Tutuola : You were there. Can you tell us how it went down?

  Sasha Rose : It's not gonna bring Romeo back.

  Odafin Tutuola : Yeah, but it could prevent your girl from going away. You wanna lose her, too?

• Sasha Rose : Esperanza came into the gym all hyped up. She went to Romeo, they started arguing...

  Odafin Tutuola : Could you hear what they were saying?

  Sasha Rose : Pieces. Something about getting too close. Romeo said Esperanza was just jealous.

  Amanda Rollins : Jealous of who, Cami?

  Sasha Rose : Maybe. Look, all I know is that Romeo never crossed a line with me.

  Amanda Rollins : Okay.

  Sasha Rose : Esperanza doesn't stir the pot like that. She punched Romeo out. She had a reason.

• Santos Morales : My daughter's a very angry person. When people fail her, she lashes out.

  Odafin Tutuola : Has she always been that way?

  Santos Morales : Uh... her mother left us when she was ten. Esperanza never forgave her. Girls need their mothers, tú sabes.

  Amanda Rollins : But she had her daddy.

  Odafin Tutuola : Yeah, except you two don't seem so tight. Why's that?

  Santos Morales : No sé. I gave her everything. Ballet, gymnastics. She wanted to become a boxer. I bust my ass so Espe could have the success I never had. Still, she pushed me away.

  Odafin Tutuola : That must burn. You out here trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents, and she disrespects you.

  Amanda Rollins : Or maybe it was because you got too close to her.

  Santos Morales : What? What is Esperanza saying? I'm a good father. I did everything for my two girls.

  Amanda Rollins : Es... Esperanza has a sister?

  Santos Morales : Had a sister. Graciela. She... she got hooked. I tried to save her. Now I've lost both my girls. Now, excuse me. My kids need me.

  Amanda Rollins : [leaving]  So one daughter becomes a boxer, the other's a junkie who ODed?

  Odafin Tutuola : You do whatever you can to get out of a house like his.

• Olivia Benson : Damaged goods? Jealous? I mean, it sounds like Romeo was abusing Esperanza.

  Amanda Rollins : Maybe, but we don't know that, and she won't admit it.

  Katriona Tamin : I don't see what difference it makes. If she was protecting Cami, I mean, wouldn't a jury be sympathetic to that?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Emotionally, yeah, but technically, you can't just kill someone because you don't like the way they're treating someone else.

  Odafin Tutuola : But if we can prove he's abusing her?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Well, that changes the case. You know, she gets a good lawyer, she could do a variation of the battered wife defense. An abused teen snaps when she's taunted by a predator.

  Katriona Tamin : She's a boxer. She'll never admit to it. She's got her rep to protect.

  Olivia Benson : Or she's scared, or in denial.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : If she and her lawyer come to me with her admission, I can convince Hadid to make a deal. Good luck.

  Amanda Rollins : Bail's set at 10 grand?

  Odafin Tutuola : She won't be able to make that.

  Katriona Tamin : How about I go over to Rikers and talk to her?

  Olivia Benson : She's under arrest, Kat. None of us can talk to her without a lawyer present.

• Odafin Tutuola : Santos Morales?

  Santos Morales : Yeah?

  Odafin Tutuola : You're under arrest.

  Santos Morales : What?

  Amanda Rollins : Get your hands on the wall.

  Santos Morales : What is this?

  Amanda Rollins : Keep 'em up.

  Santos Morales : Huh?

  [seeing Graciela's look] 

  Santos Morales : My own daughter? You set me up? How could you do this?

  Graciela Morales : How could I? How could you?

  [spitting at him] 

  Graciela Morales : I hope you die in prison!

  [to Fin] 

  Graciela Morales : Tell Officer Tamin she didn't need to pay me. I wanna give her the money back.

• Odafin Tutuola : Graciela Morales?

  Graciela Morales : [seeing his badge]  Easy, papi. I'm clean. I already pissed twice in a cup this month.

  Katriona Tamin : Actually, we wanted to talk to you about your sister.

  Graciela Morales : Espe? I heard she's in trouble.

  Katriona Tamin : She is. We were hoping that you could help us help her.

  Graciela Morales : How?

  Odafin Tutuola : She punched her trainer 'cause he was taunting her about your father.

  Katriona Tamin : Did you know anything about that?

  Graciela Morales : That's why she boxes. After she got good, she told him he had to leave us both alone.

  Katriona Tamin : It could help your sister if you came and told our ADA that.

  Graciela Morales : Yeah. Sure, okay. She's doing good now boxing. She must have money. How much she gonna pay me?
