Quotes 

• Odafin Tutuola : So he's nineteen?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : And autistic.

  Odafin Tutuola : And she's fifteen and says he raped her?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Rollins doesn't think she understood what the word meant. I get a sense this is a "Romeo & Juliet" scenario here. Should we call Liv?

  Odafin Tutuola : No, we don't call Liv. She's still on leave.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : So what do we do?

  Odafin Tutuola : We take his statement, then we wait on the rape kit. Take it Barba, figure out if we've got a crime.

• Dr. Melinda Warner : You made the right call, Amanda.

  Amanda Rollins : So Mariel was drugged?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : You could say that. She had half a pharmacy in her system.

  Odafin Tutuola : But she is sick.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : And a lot of these drugs make sense. Like the Valproate, for seizures.

  Amanda Rollins : But?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : She also had a cocktail of others. Paxil, St. John's Wort, Ginko. And some of these have severe adverse interactions with the anti-seizure medication.

  Odafin Tutuola : Could that just be an oversight?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Not by any reputable professional. It this was purposeful, I'd say you're looking at medical malpractice. And possibly a case of child abuse.

• Odafin Tutuola : So what are looking at?

  Amanda Rollins : Munchausen by proxy. A mental illness where a parent makes up fake symptoms or causes symptoms.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Medical child abuse.

• Odafin Tutuola : We got enough for a case, Barba?

  Rafael Barba : Based on the files you gave me, probably. I need a full medical and psych workup on Mariel. And I need a court order for a full psych eval on Dawn.

  Olivia Benson : How about a confession?

  Rafael Barba : She's been getting away with this for fifteen years. She's good at covering her tracks.

  Olivia Benson : So she knows what she's doing is wrong?

• Odafin Tutuola : Mariel's fifteen. That's a long time to go along with being sick.

  Amanda Rollins : I'm positive that this is what we're looking at, Fin. Multiple diagnoses from a dozen doctors, that we know of, from six different states. Fifty different medications, at least ten surgeries.

  Odafin Tutuola : Well, aren't these doctors to blame?

  Amanda Rollins : No, because the mother is... she's a very smart liar. Master manipulator. From one doctor to the next, she says that they've lost the records, so she fills in the blanks herself.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : And these doctors have no reason not to believe what she's been telling them.

  Amanda Rollins : So Dawn has been medicating Mariel. She's been making her own daughter sick. And she knows how to do it. She's... she's been getting drugs from online or off the streets.

  Odafin Tutuola : All right. Now it's time to call Liv, Barba, and Child Services.

• Olivia Benson : Does she know why she's here?

  Odafin Tutuola : She's a smart lady.

  Olivia Benson : She didn't ask for a lawyer.

  Odafin Tutuola : Maybe not that smart.
