[last lines]
A.D.A. Jamie Ross : Baby's dead, and no one's responsible.
D.A. Adam Schiff : No one was responsible when it was alive, either.
Jack McCoy : Warren Talbert's still in jail. We could get him for obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence.
D.A. Adam Schiff : [wearily] We got beat. Just send him home to his family.

Jack McCoy : I'll subpoena him. He'll testify with no preconditions.
Dave Carney : Absolutely not. He'll take the Fifth.
Jack McCoy : I'm conferring immunity right now. You're taking the stand tomorrow morning, Mr. Talbert.
Dave Carney : He won't testify.
Jack McCoy : Are you sure about that, Mr. Talbert?
Warren Talbert : I am not sending my daughter to jail.
Dave Carney : What are you going to do, Mr. McCoy? Cite him for contempt? He gets thirty days in jail and you still get nothing. For God's sake, he's just trying to save his daughter.
Jack McCoy : No deal. Ms. Ross, get an officer in here. Mr. Talbert, I'm having you arrested pending a contempt hearing.
Dave Carney : McCoy...
Jack McCoy : I've had enough of him, his daughter, and her boyfriend. If I could indict him as a co-conspirator, I would. This baby is dead. I hope they all go to jail for it. Place this man under arrest and get him out of my office.

Mrs. Sarah Talbert : My husband didn't kill that baby.
Charles Garnett : Well, are you saying that it was your daughter and her boyfriend?
Mrs. Sarah Talbert : No! Christina's not a murderer. She couldn't possibly hurt a defenseless little baby.
Charles Garnett : Well, then you're saying your daughter must've allowed Mr. Horton to strangle her child.
Mrs. Sarah Talbert : No! Never!
Charles Garnett : Then it had to be your husband.
Jack McCoy : Objection.
Mrs. Sarah Talbert : I didn't say that!
Judge Edith Markham : Sustained.
Charles Garnett : You can't have it both ways, Mrs. Talbert!
Mrs. Sarah Talbert : [crying] I don't know...
Judge Edith Markham : Mr. Garnett!
Mrs. Sarah Talbert : I don't know.
Judge Edith Markham : Mr. Garnett. Enough!
Charles Garnett : No more questions.

Jack McCoy : So which devil do we make our deal with?
A.D.A. Jamie Ross : The girl has motive. She is the one who didn't want the baby; killing it was probably her idea.
Jack McCoy : And the boy is probably the one who actually killed it and disposed of the body
D.A. Adam Schiff : Flipped a coin in my head, came up tails, talk to the boy.
