  Esperanza Morales : Okay. But what about Santos?

• Counselor Marame Touissant : Just to be clear, my client is here to discuss the events leading up to the tragedy, but nothing she says will prevent her from claiming self-defense.

  Esperanza Morales : Too late.

  Katriona Tamin : Something triggered you. Was it about your father?

  Counselor Marame Touissant : [seeing her refuse to talk]  Esperanza. You have to give the jury a reason to understand how we got here.

  Esperanza Morales : I'm not gonna talk about him. I'm a fighter. I can't look weak.

  Olivia Benson : Telling your story isn't weak. And whatever happened to you doesn't define you.

  Katriona Tamin : For now, it's just us. We can keep it a secret if you want. No one ever has to know.
