Quotes 

• Helen Turner : Sexual assault? My son? That's not... that doesn't sound right. He'd never hurt Jack. They're best friends.

  Olivia Benson : Well, we have two eyewitnesses who say that they saw him do it. They claim that it was your idea and that... that you were the main aggressor.

  Helen Turner : No. That isn't possible. And I don't want him answering any more questions about this. Not until my husband gets here.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : That... that's fine. That's fine. We can wait, right?

  Olivia Benson : Sure.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : [sitting down]  Your number's 99? You gotta be a big Gretzky fan, right?

  Kyle Turner : He's the greatest there ever was.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, he sure is. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, right?

  Kyle Turner : Right.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : You really love hockey, don't you, Kyle?

  Kyle Turner : It's the best sport there is.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : What if, um... what if it all went away?

  Kyle Turner : [as his face falls, he turns to look at his mother]  What?

  Olivia Benson : Well, we read your player contract. The one that you signed. It explicitly forbids violence against other players.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Which is exactly what we're dealing with here.

  Kyle Turner : No. That's not fair.

  Helen Turner : You can't kick him off the Whitecaps.

  Olivia Benson : You're right. We could do a lot worse. Like... like arrest him, for example.

  Kyle Turner : Please, I... I don't know who told you what, but... but it's not true.

  Olivia Benson : Well, then tell us what is true, Kyle.

• Amanda Rollins : Kyle Turner?

  Kyle Turner : Yeah.

  Adam Turner : Who are they?

  Helen Turner : Adam, take Mark upstairs and call your father. What is this about?

  Amanda Rollins : We need to talk to your son down at the precinct.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : And we're gonna need his hockey sticks. All of them.

  Helen Turner : What? Why?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Because he's under investigation for sexually assaulting his teammate.

• Amanda Rollins : Adam, we're getting you some help, okay?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : What happened?

  Helen Turner : Adam just kept pushing Jim's buttons. I couldn't stop it.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Where's your husband right now?

  Helen Turner : He rant out of here. I don't know.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Where's Mark?

  Helen Turner : He's not here. I sent him to my mom's.

  Amanda Rollins : [as Adam tries to sit up]  Listen... no, no, no. Listen, Adam, don't move. We're getting you an ambulance. All right, baby? Stay right there.

  Adam Turner : [pointing to his camera phone propped up nearby]  You needed to a way to get Kyle to talk. This is it. I got it on video.

  [to Kyle] 

  Adam Turner : Don't protect him anymore. He doesn't deserve it.

• Helen Turner : Kyle's confused. Jim has this... hold over him.

  Amanda Rollins : Well, Helen, for god's sakes, don't you get it? Your son is gonna go away.

  Helen Turner : If I tell Kyle to testify, Jim goes to jail.

  Amanda Rollins : But he is abusing your sons. He... he broke Kyle's wrist. He beat the hell out of Adam.

  Helen Turner : He didn't mean to. He loves them, and they love him. He's a good man. He just...

  Amanda Rollins : He just what, has a bad temper, he gets impatient? That's a cop-out, Helen.

  Helen Turner : Every day for the past five years, I wake up and say "I'm going to take the boys and leave." But then he... he does something that makes me see the other side. He mows my mother's lawn or pays for her arthritis medication. Or tells me that he... he loves me. And I say to myself "This is a good man." But then...

  Amanda Rollins : He changes. He gets abusive. Because that's part of who he is, too.

  Helen Turner : You're right. It is. It's just so hard to accept the fact that you... that this is the man you picked to spend your life with. To have children with. So you keep trying to fix things.

  Amanda Rollins : Even though it's not fixable. Listen... Kyle's a boy. You can fix him. Okay? But first of all, you've gotta convince him to testify; to go on record and say that his dad forced him to assault Jack with that hockey stick.

• Jim Turner : What is this? What are you doing here?

  Olivia Benson : We have a warrant for your son's arrest.

  Jim Turner : You're joking, right?

  Helen Turner : Jim, what's going on?

  Jim Turner : I got this, Helen. Kyle's still with the doctor. I know it doesn't matter to you, but he might have broken his wrist.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : How did that happen?

  Jim Turner : Hockey practice. You know, we got enough going on right now without you harassing us, okay?

  Olivia Benson : You don't want to talk to us, that's your prerogative, but we are gonna wait here until your son is released. And then we're going to arrest him.

• Jim Turner : What the hell are you... how many times do I have to tell you you do not have my permission...

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Hold on. Look, we have more questions.

  Jim Turner : Not without our consent.

  Olivia Benson : Actually, we don't need your consent in this situation.

  Helen Turner : What are you talking about?

  Olivia Benson : We have evidence that your son has been abused. Physically.

  Jim Turner : [derisive laugh]  Abused? That's ridiculous.

  Kyle Turner : I... I already told them that I fell.

  Olivia Benson : So we have two choices. I can arrest Kyle right here, right now. Or we can all go down to the precinct and talk this through.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Your other sons, too.

  Jim Turner : Fine. Let's talk it through. Get to the bottom of this. 'Cause we got nothing to hide.

• Helen Turner : Jim and Kyle have a great relationship. He wants what's best for Kyle.

  Amanda Rollins : Does, uh... does he ever get rough with Kyle?

  Helen Turner : No. That is not something that goes on in our house.

  Amanda Rollins : 'Cause, uh... your son's medical records tell a different story. Mrs. Turner, I don't... I... I don't think you understand. Kyle has committed a serious crime. It's aggravated sexual assault. He can be charged as an adult. And if he's convicted, he's gonna go away.

  Helen Turner : But he's only a boy.

  Amanda Rollins : Which is why we want to give the prosecutor some reason to help your son. But you're gonna have to help us out to do that.

  Helen Turner : How?

  Amanda Rollins : You gotta tell us what's going on between Kyle and his dad.

  [she notices Helen instinctively glance out into the bullpen] 

  Amanda Rollins : At least do it for Kyle's little brother Mark.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : We've got TARU, our tech experts, retrieving the audio from this video. Pretty soon, we're gonna know exactly what your dad said to you.

  Olivia Benson : If he told you to hurt Jack...

  Kyle Turner : He didn't.

  Attorney Ryan Egan : You're sure about that?

  Kyle Turner : Yes.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Listen, Kyle, Jack is dead. And somebody's gotta be held responsible for that.

  Attorney Ryan Egan : He answered the question, Detective.

  Adam Turner : Just tell them the truth, for god's sake!

  Helen Turner : Adam, stop!

  Adam Turner : But, mom! I... I mean...

  Helen Turner : Kyle will be fine. Everything is going to be okay.

  Olivia Benson : Mrs. Turner, everything will not be okay. That ship sailed once Jack stopped breathing. If you wanna help your son, have him tell the truth.
