Dominick Carisi Jr. : Court officer said the case has been, uh...
Vanessa Hadid : Reassigned.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : How did we lose Catano?
Vanessa Hadid : Abrams filed to have her removed for bias. She had a membership at one of Getz's gyms. They wouldn't let her out of her contract. She sued and won.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Who'd we get?
Vanessa Hadid : Joe Ellery.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Ellery? "Let Him Go" Joe? They're trying to rig this.

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.
-
Vanessa Hadid : Well, we were outplayed. The guilty charge on prostitution means the defense will claim double jeopardy.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : We can appeal.
Vanessa Hadid : Don't get your hopes up. This is on me. Abrams is a shark. Should never have let a green ADA like you go up against him.
Olivia Benson : [approaching as Hadid leaves] Getz's lawyer came over here to gloat?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, he just invited me to the victory party.
Amanda Rollins : Maybe you should go. I don't know, take Hadid.
Olivia Benson : Come on. Guys.
Amanda Rollins : Sorry. I'm gonna go see my girls.
Olivia Benson : You okay?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Should I be? Getz is a child rapist, and he... he just walks out of here? With a slap on the wrist?
Olivia Benson : For now. Go home, get some rest. We're gonna regroup.

Detective Frank Bucci : Your Honor, lock this predator up and throw away the key. I pray what he did to my daughters, he doesn't do to anyone else.
Judge Ellery : Thank you, Mr. Bucci, for your moving words. That being said, many aspects of this case give me pause. The defendant had no way of knowing Ivy Bucci's age. She provided a fake ID.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Ignorance of age is no excuse under the law, Your Honor.
Judge Ellery : She was paid thousands of dollars, along with being gifted cell phones, designer clothing, an Uber account...
Vanessa Hadid : Your Honor, we've agreed to a plea.
Judge Ellery : And I'm revisiting that plea. After reviewing the case file, I don't see criminal sexual acts here.
Olivia Benson : [watching from the gallery] Oh, my god.
Judge Ellery : I see consensual sexual activity.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Again, Your Honor, she's under the age of consent.
Detective Frank Bucci : What? She's just a kid, Your Honor. He raped her!
Amanda Rollins : [quietly] Frank.
Judge Ellery : Enough, Mr. Bucci. I don't want to hold you in contempt. This girl made her own choice. If a 15-year-old has the constitutional right to an abortion without parental approval, how should she not also have the constitutional right to consensual sex? I'm dismissing the top charges of rape and forcible touching. The case can move forward on the prostitution charge.
Counselor Peter Abrams : We plead guilty to that Your Honor.
Vanessa Hadid : The D.A.'s office strongly objects.
Judge Ellery : And your objection is on the record. Mr. Getz, I sentence you to time served. You're free to go.
-
Vanessa Hadid : By the way, counselor. Taking down a guy like Getz, not easy. If I didn't say so before... good job.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Thank you. I'm trying.
[entering the dark and empty courtroom]
Dominick Carisi Jr. : What the hell? Where is everybody?
Vanessa Hadid : Let me find out what's going on.
