Olivia Benson : So, Dodds told me to check the paperwork, but, no, it is not a mistake. As of midnight tonight, our Sonny Carisi...
Odafin Tutuola : Is passing over to the dark side.
Olivia Benson : [laughter] Will be bringing his charm and his expertise to the D.A.'s Special Victims Unit under Bureau Chief Hadid. Cheers.
William Dodds : He's your problem now.
Vanessa Hadid : Thank you, Chief Dodds and Lieutenant Benson. I'm sure the NYPD's loss will be the D.A.'s gain. And if it isn't... I understand there's a 90-day return policy.
-
Olivia Benson : Counselor, you're cutting it close here. Are we doing this or not?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : No, not tonight. Flag on the play.
Odafin Tutuola : I called it.
Olivia Benson : Carisi, what the hell is going on?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : All I know is word came down from the eighth floor to slow things down.
Olivia Benson : Son of a bitch. I don't know what kind of hooks he has, he's not getting away with this.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Packing? You going somewhere?
Pilar Reyes : My agent said if I don't want trouble, I should get out of town. I already overstayed my visa.
Amanda Rollins : You're an NYPD material witness. You don't have to worry about any of that.
-
Odafin Tutuola : So, no arrest warrant.
Olivia Benson : She wants to take it step by step.
William Dodds : She's covering her ass.
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, maybe not a bad idea, 'cause I've been tracking Sir Toby. MeToo lists, blind items, blogs, all over the Internet.
Olivia Benson : Any arrests?
Amanda Rollins : No, that's the thing. The charges don't get dropped. They never even get filed. Or the victims suddenly recant.
Odafin Tutuola : He rapes them, then he pays them off.
Olivia Benson : Probably, which means that he's gonna go right for Pilar. Listen, you two keep digging. Call Carisi in.
William Dodds : Where are you going?
Olivia Benson : Hadid told us she wants us to work the case. It won't hurt to go right at the target.
-
Odafin Tutuola : [at Sir Toby's movie premiere] Where the hell's Carisi?
Amanda Rollins : He'll be here.
Olivia Benson : [on her phone] Well, there's nothing on TMZ. That's a miracle.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Nice basket.
Pilar Reyes : It got here right before you did.
Odafin Tutuola : [reading the card] "Lovely to meet you. Hope we get to work together soon. All the best, Sir Toby." He left his number. Did you call him?
Pilar Reyes : No! He makes me sick.
Amanda Rollins : Pilar, this means that he's worried. Okay, you could call him, you could... you could arrange a meeting. Listen, we would have eyes on you the entire time.
Pilar Reyes : I don't want to see him again.
Odafin Tutuola : Yes, you do.
-
Sir Tobias Moore : Sergeant Tutuola, right?
Odafin Tutuola : Can't talk to you. You're lawyered up.
Sir Tobias Moore : Ah, it's a shame. Black sergeant working with the old boy network of the NYPD. I bet you got some stories to tell, eh?
Odafin Tutuola : Not to you.
-
Amanda Rollins : This one's scared, this one is out of our jurisdiction.
Odafin Tutuola : This woman right here, Nina, she had an audition with him on Tuesday and signed her NDA on Saturday.
Amanda Rollins : Well, Carisi told me that Pilar has got a lawyer now. Her NDA's in the works.
Odafin Tutuola : Well, that's that. I'll tell Liv.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Gemma played us.
Olivia Benson : Oh, not just Gemma. Sir Toby. That tape that Barth handed us was his Trojan horse.
William Dodds : You told me you vetted her.
Olivia Benson : I took the disclosure myself. She's not making this up. We even confirmed her outcry to friends. She's telling the truth.
Amanda Rollins : Part of it.
William Dodds : So what's she doing now?
Amanda Rollins : She wouldn't be the first vic to start a consensual relationship with her rapist in order to gain some sense of control.
William Dodds : Try explaining that to a jury.
-
Olivia Benson : Katriona Tamin.
Katriona Tamin : Call me Kat. It's faster.
Odafin Tutuola : Is it cool to talk here?
Katriona Tamin : I grew up around here. Everyone knows I'm on the job.
Olivia Benson : Okay. So, Vice gave you the rundown?
Katriona Tamin : I watched the tape. Read all the DD5s. Looks like you didn't upload everything. Should I check the spirals?
Odafin Tutuola : Just more of the same.
-
Sir Tobias Moore : You seem a little nervous.
Pilar Reyes : I am. After what happened.
Sir Tobias Moore : What do you mean? At the audition? No, don't be so hard on yourself, eh?
Pilar Reyes : Me?
Sir Tobias Moore : Yeah. Don't be so hard on yourself. I mean, everybody's nervous the first time. Could, uh... could give you another shot at it.
Pilar Reyes : Another... audition, like, in your office?
Sir Tobias Moore : Well, now you've had time to think about it, and realize what it takes to get the part.
Pilar Reyes : I guess so.
Sir Tobias Moore : Well, that's brilliant. I've got a suite upstairs with a camera in it. Shall we, eh?
Pilar Reyes : Mm-hmm.
Olivia Benson : [watching with Fin] Where is she going?
Odafin Tutuola : I told her to stay in the lounge.
-
Gemma Brooks : Is one of you Sergeant Tutuola?
Odafin Tutuola : That's me.
Gemma Brooks : My name's Gemma Brooks. I'm an actress. You spoke to one of my friends today about Sir Toby. She can't talk, but I can.
-
Amanda Rollins : The scenes always end before he makes his move.
Odafin Tutuola : He knows how to edit.
Olivia Benson : Right. So there's five auditions, all with a blurred line between coercion and direction.
Amanda Rollins : Lieutenant, we know how this goes. So does Sir Toby. I mean, he's so used to being above the law. He didn't even remove the footage from his other victims.
Odafin Tutuola : 'Cause he knows they're not gonna talk. He's taunting us.
Olivia Benson : And maybe he just overplayed his hand. Find out if any of these women will come forward.
-
Olivia Benson : And you said that this happened five years ago?
Gemma Brooks : Uh-huh. We met at a party. He said he had a script for me in his room.
Odafin Tutuola : The hotel, do you remember the name?
Gemma Brooks : No, but, um... I remember there was a wall of glass overlooking the High Line. He, uh... he pushed me against it. I... I remember people watching while he raped me.
-
Olivia Benson : Tobias Moore.
Sir Tobias Moore : Olivia.
Olivia Benson : You're under arrest.
Sir Tobias Moore : Am I? And you brought cuffs, too. How lovely, eh? So where are we going?
Odafin Tutuola : SVU.
Cindy Morrison : I'll call Ms. Barth.
Sir Tobias Moore : And all the rest.
-
Nina Phelps : Actually, I can't talk about this. You got to me too late.
Odafin Tutuola : Excuse me?
Nina Phelps : I am literally not allowed to talk.
Odafin Tutuola : And who told you to say that, Sir Toby's lawyer?
Nina Phelps : I can't talk about that, either.
Odafin Tutuola : What can you talk about?
-
Odafin Tutuola : We should've picked him up at his office.
Olivia Benson : Dodds said to keep it quiet. He doesn't want the press to find out before he can tell Hadid.
Odafin Tutuola : [seeing Sir Toby's SUV pull up] Let's do this.
-
Odafin Tutuola : What's up, Carisi? She fired you already?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I'm hanging on by a thread.
William Dodds : [his phone buzzes] Oh, we all are. And that's the commissioner. Excuse me.
-
Katriona Tamin : This guy's a real piece of crap, isn't he?
Olivia Benson : He is a serial predator, and he knows how to pick his vics and he knows how to manipulate them.
Katriona Tamin : Played you guys pretty bad, too, huh?
Olivia Benson : He did. But not just us. You should know that this guy is connected to the D.A.'s office, to City Hall, D.C.
Katriona Tamin : Harder they come, harder they fall. What's my play?
Olivia Benson : Aspiring local actress. La Guardia High.
Katriona Tamin : Where I went.
Olivia Benson : That's why I chose it. So you are thrilled to meet, maybe even audition for the great man.
Katriona Tamin : Uh, like what he did to the Venezuelan girl? Isn't that the rap he just beat?
Odafin Tutuola : Yeah, it is. He can't help himself.
Katriona Tamin : Yeah, a junkie's gotta score. You wire his office?
Olivia Benson : So, he keeps a hotel room in Midtown. The good news is that his assistant is cooperating with us. We'll be across the hall. Pull you out before it gets too rough.
Katriona Tamin : Don't do that.
Olivia Benson : Excuse me?
Katriona Tamin : You want to get this guy, make sure you got him. Let him rough me up a little, rip my blouse. I'll signal for when you can come in. I can take care of myself.
-
Cindy Morrison : He's my boss. I was just setting up meetings for him.
Odafin Tutuola : Come on, Cindy. You bring these women into his office, his hotel room. They trust you, then he assaults 'em. That makes you accessory to rape.
Cindy Morrison : I don't know what he does with them.
Odafin Tutuola : You don't know? You mind telling me why you were swapping out his furniture Sunday at midnight? That's destroying evidence. Listen... he will not think twice about throwing you under the bus, and then backing up over you.
Cindy Morrison : He can't know. Please.
Amanda Rollins : [watching with Benson] That didn't take long.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Toby is cold. He taped that statement in the same room he did Pilar.
Amanda Rollins : Well, just another way to punk us.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : [noticing something] Or maybe he finally screwed up. Rollins, you got Pilar's audition?
Amanda Rollins : Yeah.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Can you throw it up there, please?
[she does so]
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Son of a bitch. You notice anything?
Amanda Rollins : [spotting it] Different couch. Pillows. Lamp.
Olivia Benson : He was afraid that we were gonna get a warrant, so he swapped them out.
Odafin Tutuola : When'd he have time to do that?
-
Amanda Rollins : [surveilling an undercover operation] You're right. Different day, same script. At least this time there's a wheelchair.
Odafin Tutuola : She's doing a good job.
Olivia Benson : She studied the tape. She knows where he's going.
-
Amanda Rollins : So, here's Pilar. Friday evening, 7:00 p.m. She's entering Sir Toby's building. Now, this is Pilar an hour later. She's in the lobby. She's in tears. Her clothes are a mess. And we've all seen this as she's exiting his office, but then we skip ahead to Sunday night, 11:55 p.m. This is his assistant Cindy. She's supervising three movers as they pull the new couch out of a truck. Ten minutes later, they're pulling out Sir Toby's old couch and lamp.
Odafin Tutuola : Good luck finding those.
Amanda Rollins : This is a specialty cleaning crew at 6:00 a.m. on Monday. At 7:45 a.m., Sir Toby and Cindy walk in. She stays downstairs, and ten minutes later, on the march. A former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District, a former Attorney General.
Olivia Benson : Wow.
Amanda Rollins : Cabinet members, Deputy Mayor.
Olivia Benson : I've heard of power teams, but this...
Amanda Rollins : It gets worse. Fifteen minutes later, look who walks in.
Olivia Benson : Vanessa Hadid and half of the eighth floor.
Odafin Tutuola : They're going into Toby's office. Why, to kiss his ring?
Olivia Benson : To destroy Pilar's credibility.
Odafin Tutuola : Like I said, he's got this whole game rigged.
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, he may, but you know what? We have his assistant on tape destroying evidence.
Olivia Benson : Bring her in.
