- Soren West: Who are you?
- Olivia Benson: You running a book?
- Soren West: Get out of here.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, not without my Oreos.
- Soren West: Just go someplace else.
- Olivia Benson: Hey, sweetheart, I've had a very bad day, okay?
- [rummaging in her pockets]
- Olivia Benson: I know I have cash in here somewhere.
- Soren West: It's on the house.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah?
- Soren West: Yeah.
- Olivia Benson: That okay with you?
- Bodega Owner: Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, that's a first.
- Soren West: Just get out of here.
- Olivia Benson: Oh, um, sorry, can I just get some aspirin?
- Soren West: And that's it.
- Olivia Benson: Thank you.
- [he turns around to get it; turning back, he sees she has her gun drawn]
- Olivia Benson: Drop the knife.
- Olivia Benson: [after Paige gets a message on her phone] You mind if I take a look at that?
- Paige Black: I do.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, Paige, so let me tell you where we stand. I can take you down to the squad room where you're gonna sit and you're gonna wait until Detective Rollins gets you a search warrant.
- Amanda Rollins: Then we'll be in the exact same position we are now except I will be extremely pissed off 'cause you would have wasted two hours of my life.
- Rowan Mauer: We were at the top of the stairs. We didn't know Emerson was behind us. Zach pushed me. I bumped into my son and he fell down the stairs. He broke his neck. There was blood coming out of his ears. It was an accident.
- Peter Stone: And why didn't you call the police?
- Rowan Mauer: We were drinking. Zach was a rager. He had assault charges. They would have thought we killed him. We had no other choice. I buried my sweet baby in the backyard.
- Peter Stone: And Kevin Brown was the perfect replacement.
- Rowan Mauer: Kevin had a good life with me. I fed him, I clothed him, I loved him. He had a mom.
- Diane Brown: You stole him.
- Rowan Mauer: But my baby was dead. I deserved...
- Olivia Benson: No. No. No one deserves somebody else's child.
- Olivia Benson: Diane. Wait, please. Diane, it's gonna come back to him. I promise you, with... with counseling...
- Diane Brown: What's the point?
- Olivia Benson: The point is that the DA is gonna cut him a deal.
- Diane Brown: He's not my brother anymore. He stopped being my brother 17 years ago.
- Olivia Benson: This is just gonna take time.
- Diane Brown: We're people. We're not a broken vase you can put together with a little Krazy Glue.
- Olivia Benson: Diane...
- Diane Brown: Look, I know you think you're doing doing the right thing, Lieutenant, and maybe for someone else it would be, but I'm just not that strong.
- Emerson Mauer: No, okay? That can't be true. I am Emerson Mauer, okay?
- Olivia Benson: I know how hard this is to hear, Kevin...
- Emerson Mauer: Don't call me that.
- Olivia Benson: You have a sister, Diane.
- Emerson Mauer: No, it's just me and my mom.
- Olivia Benson: Diane took care you.
- Emerson Mauer: My mom took care of me.
- Olivia Benson: Your mother was sick. She had Hodgkin's. She was sick in bed, and your father was working all the time.
- Emerson Mauer: Why are you lying to me?
- Olivia Benson: I'm not. Think, just think, Kevin. Think. Diane used to take you to get ice cream. She used to take you to the park, right? To play Frisbee. And you had nightmares as a little boy, didn't you? And it was Diane's bed that you crawled into because she held you. She made you feel safe because she loved you so much and you loved her.
- Emerson Mauer: No, no, no, no, 'cause if that was true, I would remember.
- Olivia Benson: You do remember, Kevin.
- Emerson Mauer: No! No!
- Olivia Benson: Do you know what I think? I think that that deep down in your heart, and in your mind, and in your subconscious, your sister's alive and taking care of you.
- Emerson Mauer: I don't have a sister.
- Olivia Benson: And you just wanted to reach out to her, and have her hold you because you miss her so much.
- Emerson Mauer: That is crazy.
- Olivia Benson: That's why you took Bailey. You didn't want to hurt her. I know that. You wanted to take care of her like your sister took care of you.
- Emerson Mauer: No, okay? I am Emerson Mauer! Just... just leave me alone, all right? You're a liar. I don't want to talk anymore.
- Amanda Rollins: Her name is Bailey Shaw. She's six years old. Her parents are Griffin Shaw and Jamie Johnston.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, does Griffin drive a silver Saturn?
- Amanda Rollins: No, Jamie took Bailey ice skating in Central Park, right? And he went to the bathroom, and when he came back, she was gone.
- Olivia Benson: How's she doing?
- Dr. Darby Wilder: We've got her on fluids. She's cold, hungry. Looks like she was in that trunk for a while. Oh, and when she got here, her pants were on inside-out.
- Amanda Rollins: Did you run a rape kit?
- Dr. Darby Wilder: No signs of penetration or foreign fluids.
- Amanda Rollins: Can we talk to her?
- Dr. Darby Wilder: Sure. But I have to warn you, she's pretty scared.
- Olivia Benson: Fin, where do we stand?
- Odafin Tutuola: CSU pulled prints off the Saturn, no hits.
- Olivia Benson: Well, what about the cell phone video?
- Odafin Tutuola: With TARU. We may get lucky and get a hit on the facial recognition. I called in an arrest-for in all five boroughs. He can run, but he can't hide, Liv.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: The registered owner of the Saturn died two weeks ago. His son sold it in an estate sale last week.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, what about the new owner?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: He's a mystery man. He saw the sign on the car window, he knocked on the door, he paid all cash. He never registered the title.
- Olivia Benson: Guys, we're talking about a six year old girl who was grabbed in Central Park. Somebody must have seen something.
- Odafin Tutuola: Off-duty cop stopped at the bodega on the way home. He spotted our guy buying some Marlboros. He was unarmed, so he stepped outside and called it in.
- Olivia Benson: He still inside?
- Odafin Tutuola: When the officer went inside to confront him, he pulled a switchblade on him. He's now holding the bodega owner hostage.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: [approaching] ESU is on the way.
- Olivia Benson: Is there a back door?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Uh, odds are. Why?
- Soren West: Could have taken any car. I had to take the one with a baby in the trunk.
- Odafin Tutuola: Some guys are just unlucky.
- Soren West: You believe me?
- Odafin Tutuola: No.
- Soren West: Look, I'm a lowlife. Scumbag car thief, okay? I admit it.
- Odafin Tutuola: A 2003 Saturn. You're not a good one.
- Soren West: See? Everyone knows that I'm a moron. I'm way-I'm way too stupid to kidnap someone.
- Soren West: There's no way I could have done it. I was with my girl all morning. I was with Lee Anne. That's why I took the wheel. She was late for her job interview. I dropped her, I stopped for a pack of smokes. That's when that maniac slugged me.
- Odafin Tutuola: That might have been the best thing to happen to you.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Hey, lieu, we're wasting our time here. Bailey couldn't ID photos of either one of them.
- Olivia Benson: Well, I was kinda rooting for Mr. Wonderful.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, Soren West. He's got two outstanding warrants for possession.
- Olivia Benson: Oh, well, tack on auto theft, assaulting a police officer, and get him in Rikers.
- Amanda Rollins: Hey, Paige may have given us something.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: I-I don't think Paige is involved in this.
- Amanda Rollins: She may have helped us find the guy who is. So, she took this picture of Bailey in Central Park, and Bailey said that... that the kidnapper reminded her of Big Bird because...
- Olivia Benson: Because he was wearing a yellow scarf.
- Amanda Rollins: Paige doesn't know who this is, but...
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: But at least now we know what he looks like.
- Odafin Tutuola: Tell us you found something.
- CSU Tech Henry Marks: Just the usual garbage. Help yourself.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Well, we know he's not a health nut.
- Odafin Tutuola: That narrows it down.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: [taking and shaking a disposable coffee cup] Did you look in here?
- CSU Tech Henry Marks: Why would I care about leftover coffee?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: [taking the lid off, revealing the trash inside] 'Cause sometimes it's a garbage can.
- Peter Stone: As it stands, I'm pretty sure I can get an indictment, but conviction's a whole other ball game.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, well, how does it look for a search warrant?
- Peter Stone: DNA?
- Olivia Benson: No.
- Peter Stone: Hair sample?
- Olivia Benson: That's why we need a search warrant. That's Bailey and her parents.
- Peter Stone: You get me one thing that's not circumstantial, I'll get you a warrant.
- Peter Stone: [Bailey's dads are refusing to let her testify] So much for that.
- Olivia Benson: I can still swear in an affidavit that she IDed Mauer.
- Peter Stone: Liv...
- Olivia Benson: It'll get us a warrant to search his house.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: This is fescue.
- Odafin Tutuola: God bless you.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: It's a type of grass.
- Odafin Tutuola: So?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: So, this is fescue, but this...
- [indicating another patch]
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: ...this spot is Kentucky bluegrass.
- Odafin Tutuola: Who are you, "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary"?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Well, we had fescue growing up. Yankee Stadium had Kentucky blue. Why would somebody need two different types of grass?
- Odafin Tutuola: Maybe they just didn't know and got the wrong kind of grass seed.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, but why would you need to seed a 3x5 foot patch?
- Amanda Rollins: The lab ran the DNA from the t-shirt found in the bedroom through NCMEC. We got a hit.
- Olivia Benson: Bailey?
- Amanda Rollins: No, Kevin Brown. He went missing from Forest Park in 2002 when he was six.
- Peter Stone: Does the DNA match the bones in the back yard?
- Amanda Rollins: It's too soon to tell. He is survived by his sister, Diane.
- Olivia Benson: I hate this.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Well, when the world's going to crap, the one thing that lifts my spirits are Mama Carisi's famous cannolis.
- Amanda Rollins: I may have something better.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, nothing works better.
- Amanda Rollins: How about a DNA map?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Let me guess, the, uh, skeleton we found in the Mauers' back yard is Kevin Brown.
- Amanda Rollins: You're gonna have to guess again, because there is a maternal match. 99% chance that the kid in the yard was Rowan Mauer's son.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: What?
- Amanda Rollins: Yeah.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Emerson had a brother?
- Amanda Rollins: No, not according to any public records.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Are you saying that the body that we dug up, that's Emerson Mauer?
- Amanda Rollins: Yeah.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Hold... hold on. I'm-I'm... I'm a little confused here, because if Emerson is dead and buried, then who the hell kidnapped Bailey?
- [seeing her look]
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: No way.
- Amanda Rollins: That's what I said.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: All right, you call Liv, I'll call Stone.
- Susan Landsman: Uh, excuse me, we had a deal. She testifies against Emerson, she gets immunity.
- Peter Stone: The deal was conditioned upon your client telling the truth.
- Rowan Mauer: I did.
- Peter Stone: You called him your son.
- Olivia Benson: We know that's a lie. 'Cause your son died 17 years ago.
- Susan Landsman: Too bad you can't prove it.
- Olivia Benson: Well, the lab is testing the DNA of the man pretending to be your son as we speak.
- Peter Stone: They're gonna call me with the results. You've got until then to make a deal, Mrs. Mauer.
- Olivia Benson: She testified that she was an accomplice to Bailey's kidnapping, so when the DNA comes back and it matches Kevin Brown's... there's gonna be another kidnapping charge.
- Peter Stone: And a murder.
- Susan Landsman: Who did she kill?
- Olivia Benson: Her own son. The real Emerson, 17 years ago.
- Peter Stone: Tick, tock.
- Susan Landsman: What's in it for her?
- Peter Stone: I'm thinking twenty years.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Emerson Mauer?
- Emerson Mauer: Yes.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: We just wanna talk to you for a little bit about Bailey Shaw.
- Rowan Mauer: [he turns and flees] Wait! Hey, hey!
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: [tackling him in the front yard] Forgot to tell you, you're under arrest for kidnapping.
- Emerson Mauer: So I like to go to Central Park on my days off.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: You like to look at the kids, do you?
- Emerson Mauer: You know it's, uh, one of the first major lanscape parks in the country?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: I didn't know that.
- Emerson Mauer: Well, there are 29 unique statues. The, uh, 57-horse carousel is one of the nation's largest. The whole park was once entirely covered by glaciers.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Hmm. And a lot of kids hang out there, too, including Bailey Shaw.
- Emerson Mauer: I told you, I don't know her.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Okay, so you're telling me that somehow she locked herself in your trunk?
- Emerson Mauer: This is getting boring. I repeat: my car was stolen from the minimart parking lot, so surely it was the thief who put her there.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Hmm. That's not what he says.
- Emerson Mauer: What, you caught him?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, we did.
- Emerson Mauer: And you believe a felon over me.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Well, first of all, Emerson, you can't judge a book by its cover. Second, you never reported that car stolen. And I wonder why that is.
- Peter Stone: You must be Bailey. My name's Peter. I'm a lawyer.
- Bailey Shaw: Are you going to put the bad man in jail?
- Peter Stone: I'm gonna do my best, Bailey.
- Peter Stone: Without your daughter's testimony, we don't have a case.
- Griffin Shaw: All those people staring at her? Not a chance. She's not going to court, and that's all we have to say.
- Peter Stone: She can testify by video conference.
- Griffin Shaw: But his lawyer gets to question her.
- Olivia Benson: I'm sure that you don't want Mr. Mauer doing this to another little girl.
- Jamie Johnston: Of course not, but we're not going to subject our baby girl to more trauma. A defense attorney ripping her story apart? No, it's better she forget the whole thing.
- Olivia Benson: The next little girl may not be as lucky as Bailey.
- Olivia Benson: So, Kevin and Diane Brown. This was taken two days before Kevin went missing. Probably the last time either of them smiled.
- Peter Stone: You spoke to Diane?
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, she gave up hope of finding her brother a long time ago.
- Amanda Rollins: We don't know those bones belong to Kevin.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Oh, come on, we found the kid's t-shirt in the Mauer house.
- Olivia Benson: The lab is running DNA tests on the skeleton now.
- Amanda Rollins: I mean, what the hell, I hope it is Kevin. At least then we have a shot of convicting Rowan Mauer with something.
- Olivia Benson: What, a public health violation? She's gonna pay a fine and walk. This family is-is Teflon.
- Peter Stone: Bailey still won't testify?
- Olivia Benson: The dads are dead-set against it.
- Peter Stone: Unfortunately, all of this adds up to nothing.
- Olivia Benson: So I have to tell Diane Brown that we found her brother, we know who killed him, and there's nothing that we can do about it?
- Amanda Rollins: We don't know that that skeleton is Kevin's.
- Olivia Benson: Yet. What about a grand jury?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: An indictment without a conviction? That's just gonna cause Diane more pain.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, so... so two kids were kidnapped. One of them is dead, and we have a legal system where we can't do anything about it? What... what the hell are we doing?
- Peter Stone: A grand jury might not be such a bad idea.
- Olivia Benson: A grand jury investigating who? Bailey won't testify against Emerson.
- Peter Stone: But Emerson's mother may.
- Olivia Benson: She's just gonna plead the Fifth.
- Peter Stone: Not if I give her immunity against being charged as an accomplice in Bailey's kidnapping. If she happens to implicate herself in Kevin Brown's kidnapping and murder, so be it.
- Olivia Benson: Do you really think that a mother is gonna testify against her son?
- Peter Stone: Her son, the pedophile.
- Soren West: Look, I'm a low life. Scumbag car thief. I admit it.
- Odafin Tutuola: A 2003 Saturn. You're not a good one.
- Amanda Rollins: I have blue eyes.
- Olivia Benson: Congratulations?
- Amanda Rollins: Al has blue eyes, Billie has blue eyes.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, if I remember my high school bio correctly, it's called a recessive gene.
- Amanda Rollins: Look at this. Zach and Rowan both have brown eyes. Emerson has blue. I know it's a stretch, but...
- Olivia Benson: Statistically speaking, Emerson may not be Rowan's son.
