Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (TV Series)

Murdered at a Bad Address (2019)

Happy Anderson: Tim Stanton

Quotes 

• Counselor Freddo : My client will agree to forcible touching on the girl from Jacob Lawrence Houses.

  Olivia Benson : He raped her.

  Tim Stanton : Says who?

  Counselor Freddo : She didn't see her attacker and DNA on headphones? Probative of nothing.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Well, we have a voice ID.

  Counselor Freddo : Mm-hmm. No eyewitnesses, only an ear witness. I'll convince the jury that little Lupe is deaf and blind.

  Olivia Benson : Little Lupe is tougher than you think.

  Counselor Freddo : Juries love me and they don't like cops. And that goes double for cops who turn into prosecutors. They're gonna hate you.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Well, maybe not, after they find out your client's DNA was at three different rape scenes.

  Olivia Benson : And we have three projects-strong girls, just like Lupe, who will follow her to the stand.

• Tim Stanton : Look, I feel sorry for the girl, but I got places to be. You need anything else from me, let me know.

  Amanda Rollins : First guy to say no. I'm calling Carisi for a warrant.

  Odafin Tutuola : [picking up a discarded cigarette butt]  Yeah, save him the trouble.

  Amanda Rollins : In that case, I'll call Liv.

• Tim Stanton : Yeah, well, see, I did some work on Lupe's mom's bathroom recently, and so I moved the kid's headphones out of the way. I didn't... I didn't want to get no water on 'em.

  Amanda Rollins : Okay, well, that makes sense.

  Tim Stanton : So I'm good to go?

  Odafin Tutuola : More like good to go away. We got another hit on your DNA, from a 16-year-old attack in Far Rock.

  Tim Stanton : The double murder? No, the son and his buddy confessed. It can't be me. That's, uh, like, double jeopardy or something.

  Amanda Rollins : Not really.

  Tim Stanton : Besides, even if my DNA was there, I probably worked on that apartment, too.

  Odafin Tutuola : Work? That's how your blood and skin got under the victim's fingernails?

  Tim Stanton : All due respect, I think it's time for me to shut down and lawyer up.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : We're going after your client for all six rapes, including the Far Rockaway rape and the double murder.

  Counselor Freddo : You're chasing a 16-year-old murder case with two confessions, huh? And a district attorney who's playing poker with tarot cards.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : You wanna cut a deal? Your client allocutes to the Hernandez murders and maybe I can swing criminally negligent homicide and rape two on the other six.

  Tim Stanton : I ain't 'fessing to no crack ho murders, and I ain't copping to no pedo rapes. No short-eye pleas like those 'mos Torres and Hernandez did.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : What do you know about that?

  Tim Stanton : I got no idea how Carlos has lasted 16 years in Green Haven. Everyone knows he's a fag.

  Counselor Freddo : All right, that's okay, Tim. Look, we're done here. I'll be taking my client back to processing.

  Olivia Benson : [opening the door for a patrol officer]  Get him out of here.

  Counselor Freddo : [to Carisi]  You insist to murders and child rapes, we'll go to the mat in my ring.

  Olivia Benson : [Stanton and Freddo leave]  Don't let him get to you.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Well, he... he didn't. There's something Stanton said. Now, Carlos told me that he had an alibi for the night of the murders, but he wouldn't talk about it. Now I know why.

• Odafin Tutuola : So, you're the maintenance guy. You been working here a long time?

  Tim Stanton : They send me where they need me.

  Amanda Rollins : Well, you notice anybody who doesn't belong? Trying doors, checking out the stairwell?

  Tim Stanton : All the time. Bangers, homeless, dealers. They got guys on the registry in this neighborhood.

  Odafin Tutuola : We're all over that. Just hoping maybe you could come check out some mug shots.

  Tim Stanton : Shouldn't the girl do that?

  Odafin Tutuola : She didn't get a good look at him.

  Tim Stanton : Ah, that's too bad. Listen, I'd do anything to help, but I don't have a head for faces.

  Amanda Rollins : There's something else you could do. We need your DNA to exclude you from the investigation.

  Tim Stanton : My DNA put in the system? That ain't happening. Who knows what the government does with that?
