Quotes 

• Detective Frank Bucci : Ivy's changed. I retired, took my 20 six months ago. Now I'm working private insurance fraud, security, double shifts. I missed the signs. It's my fault.

  Odafin Tutuola : What signs?

  Detective Frank Bucci : Ivy's wearing a lot of makeup. All right, she's staying out late at night. Short skirts, she's talking on the telephone all the time. This Getz, this son of a bitch, I-I... what he's done to my girls...

  Olivia Benson : We're... we're gonna talk to them, okay?

  Detective Frank Bucci : I don't even know where Ivy is. I kind of went off on her today, and she stormed off. Now, I pulled Milly out of school, and, uh... she's not gonna rat out her sister.

• Odafin Tutuola : [looking up Getz's winding staircase]  Rollins, take the top floors.

  Amanda Rollins : You do know there's an elevator?

• Amanda Rollins : What is Kat doing? Captain said to suss out the gig, talk to Ivy.

  Odafin Tutuola : She's calling an audible.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, but Getz is smart. If he makes her, this... this case is blown before we even open it.

  Odafin Tutuola : So what do you want me to do, shoot her?

  Amanda Rollins : I don't... you're her sergeant. Reel her in.

  Odafin Tutuola : I'll talk to her.

  Amanda Rollins : Really? Will ya?

  Odafin Tutuola : Later. Let her play this out.

• Amanda Rollins : What's going on?

  Olivia Benson : So, Detective Bucci's daughters - he's got Ivy, 15, and Milly... Milly, 12 - may be victims of a predator.

  Detective Frank Bucci : And my wife, we're separated. She's in rehab. I have custody now.

  Amanda Rollins : Got it.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Ivy's got this job... seemed okay.

  Odafin Tutuola : Ivy's been working as a model for GimmeThatBody.

  Detective Frank Bucci : That's how they lured her in. This Getz, he really plays on teenage girls.

  Amanda Rollins : Hold up. Steve Getz, the... the billionaire?

  Detective Frank Bucci : Yeah, he's a pervert, right? Last night, Ivy takes Milly to a party. Getz is there, all the guys, Milly freaks out, Ivy takes her home, Milly starts trying to tell me what's going on, and Ivy denies it.

  Amanda Rollins : Okay.

  Detective Frank Bucci : She's lying. I searched her room. I found four grand, cash. Adderall, birth control pills...

  Olivia Benson : Okay, okay, none of that... none of that is great for a father to find, but we don't know what's going on.

  Detective Frank Bucci : It's Getz. I know.

• Amanda Rollins : For the record, Getz is not only wealthy, he's in tight with the New York power players. Politicians, tech founders, athletes. Uh, GimmeThatBody is one of dozens of retail chains that he owns.

  Odafin Tutuola : Six residences, private islands, private jets...

  Olivia Benson : So, your average billionaire. Look, you're already in, so get Granya on tape. Talk to doormen, sit on the house, follow the girls. We have to hit him from every angle.

• Security Guard : The girl's a regular. The tall one, she's new. A little mature for Getz.

  Odafin Tutuola : What's his type?

  Security Guard : Candy stripers. I've been working security here, girls coming and going all hours. It's like food deliveries.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, do you ever see Getz do anything with the girls? I mean, physically.

  Security Guard : If I did, you'd be fingerprinting me.

• Amanda Rollins : This is Granya Marcil, Steve Getz's sometime girlfriend and company talent scout.

  Olivia Benson : You mean his procurer?

  Katriona Tamin : Seems like it. Told her I wanted in on the action, and she didn't blink.

  Olivia Benson : What, you approached her?

  Odafin Tutuola : Yeah, Kat kind of went off book, but she did get an invite to Getz's townhouse tonight.

  Katriona Tamin : I saw an opening, and I went with my gut.

  Olivia Benson : Next time, don't. It worked out this time, but, Kat, you could have just as easily blown up the case or gotten yourself shot.

  Katriona Tamin : Copy that.

• Amanda Rollins : [having no real case against Getz]  So we keep looking for more girls. We bring Granya in.

  Olivia Benson : Or... we go directly to Getz. This guy is arrogant. Maybe there's a way that he implicates himself without realizing it.

  Odafin Tutuola : You think he's just gonna come in?

  Olivia Benson : No. We have to get inside his Boyd Cycle.

  Odafin Tutuola : His what?

  Olivia Benson : It's a Chief Garland thing. We have to catch Getz off guard, not on his turf, you know... throw off his decision-making process.

  Amanda Rollins : Okay. Chief have any idea where that might be?

  Olivia Benson : [getting an idea]  No, but I do.

• Steve Getz : What is this, neighbors complaining about my parties?

  Olivia Benson : Well, it's more like the neighbors worried about your guests. Young teenage girls, coming and going at all hours?

  Steve Getz : You know who I am. I run a modeling agency.

  Olivia Benson : Oh, so they were modeling. Really? At 2:00 a.m.?

  Counselor Peter Abrams : Well, sometimes they're guests at company parties. These young models all have parental permission. They're contracted employees on a payroll. We follow all state-mandated working conditions.

  Odafin Tutuola : Then why does he pay 'em cash and give gifts?

  Steve Getz : That's my fault. I like to give my young ones a little something extra. Their parents cash their checks. It's just my way of making sure that the girls have nice things.

  Counselor Peter Abrams : He can gift up to 15K a year. You want to charge him with generosity? Why is my client even here?

  Olivia Benson : Because we've been talking to several girls who "work" for Mr. Getz, and one of whom was asked to bring her 12-year-old sister to the party.

  Steve Getz : Yes, they all told me. They're very loyal. What I tell them: jealousy is the thief of joy. Whoever's complaining just wishes they were me. Even for just a day.

  Counselor Peter Abrams : Thanks for confirming what we suspected. You have nothing. You can stop hanging around urinals. My client won't be speaking to you again.

  Steve Getz : And by the way... Ivy's a great kid. I'm not gonna hold this against her. But you might want to think twice about using her as a battering ram. Her father's a drunk ex-cop who shoots from the hip flask. He's in such a deep hole, he sent his sister to shake us down.

  Odafin Tutuola : [watching them leave]  So much for his Boyd Cycle.

  Olivia Benson : The good news? They're not on to Kat.

  Amanda Rollins : [entering with a knock]  Hey. I just got a call from the 116 in Forest Hills. Frank Bucci had some kind of accident. He's in bad shape. EMTs are taking him to Queens General.

• Olivia Benson : So, these are the first three girls that we talked to. There's a dozen more that we're tracking down.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : No, I get it, but none of these three are willing to testify, right?

  Odafin Tutuola : Getz bought Palmer's grandfather a new Cadillac.

  Amanda Rollins : And Sarah's closets are full of Prada, Louboutin, Gucci.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Okay, w-what about this one? Any luck?

  Olivia Benson : Okay, that's Tessa. So, her story is Getz was a gentleman until her 17th birthday. He's... he's paying for her college. We do have Granya on tape.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, which implicates her a lot more than him. What about Ivy?

  Olivia Benson : Okay, so, Ivy's still mad at her father, so she's siding with Getz.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : So we have no complaining witnesses.

  Olivia Benson : We have a pattern here.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, of teenage girls going in and out of his townhouse, and which he will claim are photo shoots and launch parties.

  Olivia Benson : Milly and her father are willing to testify.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, to what? That he's a sleaze? Look, I feel for these people, but legally, there's no "there" here. Until one of the victims flips on Getz, I can't take a crowbar to his front door.

  Odafin Tutuola : Any other advice, counselor?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Figure it out.

• Amanda Rollins : We've had the house under surveillance. There is a steady stream of girls coming...

  Vanessa Hadid : I heard you, Detective, but all you really have is one 15-year-old girl who's been on Getz's payroll as a model.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : She'll testify to nude photo shoots, forcible touching, rape.

  Amanda Rollins : And we also have his procurer, Granya Marcil, on tape, buying off our UC, who is posing as Ivy's aunt.

  Vanessa Hadid : A UC Getz is on to?

  Odafin Tutuola : Not yet.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : But he does know that he is the target.

  Vanessa Hadid : How? You didn't bring him in, did you? You should've come to me earlier. Getz could've cleared his hard drives. He could be on a private jet as we speak.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Which is why we need to move now.

• Odafin Tutuola : How's he doing?

  Olivia Benson : Well, he's hurt, and he's angry.

  Amanda Rollins : And he wants to know why the guys who beat him up told him he'd better have his sister back off.

  Olivia Benson : Any leads?

  Katriona Tamin : EMTs found him unconscious two blocks from his apartment. We're pulling security cams.

  Amanda Rollins : Good luck. Two guys in hoodies, they rear-end him, attack him, steal his wallet.

  Odafin Tutuola : Getz is trying to make this look like a bump-and-rob.

  Olivia Benson : After we just brought him in?

  Amanda Rollins : I don't think this has anything to do with us. He's trying to send Frank a message about Aunt Kitty.

  Katriona Tamin : Yeah, you mentioned that twice already. The captain already talked to me about it.

  Ivy Bucci : [approaching]  You. This is all your frickin' fault.

  Katriona Tamin : Ivy, let me explain.

  Ivy Bucci : You got my dad beat up. If anything happens to him, it's on you.

• Olivia Benson : Breaking news: Getz cut a deal. Four years.

  Odafin Tutuola : Getz is no dummy. He loses that trial, it could be a 25-year bid.

  Amanda Rollins : And Carisi's okay with the plea?

  Olivia Benson : Ms. Hadid is, or her bosses are.

  Katriona Tamin : Yeah, they want this hushed up, and they really don't want us finding out who else goes to Getz's parties.

  Olivia Benson : Flipping Granya, finding his other vics, going through his guest list... it's gonna be a lot easier once he's locked up.

  Amanda Rollins : Frank Bucci's not gonna see it that way.

  Olivia Benson : See if you can get him there.

• Detective Frank Bucci : Four years for raping my daughter?

  Odafin Tutuola : Ivy doesn't have to testify.

  Amanda Rollins : And with... with the legal judgment against him, you can file a civil suit.

  Detective Frank Bucci : This isn't about the money. I want that piece of crap to hear in open court what he did to Ivy, my family!

  Odafin Tutuola : Well, we can ask the D.A. to let you make a victim impact statement at the sentencing.

  Amanda Rollins : Absolutely.

  Detective Frank Bucci : That's it? Huh?

  Amanda Rollins : I hear you, Frank. We're gonna keep this investigation open, okay? And if more of the girls come forward...

  Detective Frank Bucci : He'll find a way to rig that, too. You and I both know Getz will never be held accountable. Never.

• Steve Getz : All right, let's get this party started.

  Olivia Benson : Hold up. NYPD.

  Steve Getz : Captain Benson. I don't think you're on the guest list.

  Olivia Benson : No, but Milly and Ivy are, and we need to speak with them.

  Granya Marcil : The girls are fine.

  Odafin Tutuola : Why don't you let them tell us that?

  Steve Getz : That's a great idea. Milly, Ivy! Say hi! As you can see, safe and sound.

  Olivia Benson : You're really doing this, huh? Two underage girls on your boat, without parental permission? Really?

  Steve Getz : Oh, they have permission. Donna Bucci? Meet our friends from SVU. Let them know you granted permission.

  Donna Bucci : Oh, hi! I'm their mom. I gave permission. And I'll be supervising.

  Counselor Peter Abrams : Does that check all the boxes, Captain?

  Steve Getz : Let's sail.

  [getting on board] 

  Steve Getz : Congressman.

  Odafin Tutuola : We got to get this guy.

  Olivia Benson : Make sure Detective Bucci knows that this ain't over.

• Odafin Tutuola : Frank Bucci called. Ivy and Milly are missing.

  Katriona Tamin : Bucci thinks they're with Getz. He's gone out looking for them.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, Carisi told me that Getz is having a... a victory party. Find out where.
