Quotes 

• Woman : We only sell passwords. We don't know what people put on their website.

  Elliot Stabler : What are you telling me, lady? That you don't know what the website child-dot-rape's all about? Shut up.

• Detective Sam Bishop : I've got to report to you if my victim's a pervert?

  Elliot Stabler : No, you've got to tell me when you find something pertaining to my victim.

• Elliot Stabler : [to Mrs. Van Wagner about photographs of Mia being placed on the Internet]  You don't need to see the pictures. If it were my daughter, I wouldn't want those images in my head.

• Kate Logan : [after Eric Tassig gets away from Stabler and Logan] 

  [to Stabler] 

  Kate Logan : You let him run.

  Elliot Stabler : I had two choices, get him or save the girl. I thought Mia was more important.

  Kate Logan : You just took away Tassig's one reason to stay in this country. He could be anywhere now.

  Elliot Stabler : So your solution is I should have just let her run away again?

  Kate Logan : We would have had him in custody and we'd have eventually found Mia.

  Elliot Stabler : Eventually? And what? In the meantime, you just let a child wander around in a foreign city for a few days?

  Kate Logan : What about the other child you're looking for, Detective Stabler? We forget about her now?

  Elliot Stabler : Like I said, I made a choice. We'll talk to Mia, she'll lead us to Tassig.

  Kate Logan : Mia has been terribly abused and won't admit it. She thinks we are the enemy. You expect her to help us?

  Elliot Stabler : You know, I just figured out why you're so pissed off and you're right. It is easier to arrest the bad guy than it is to deal with the victim.

• Elliot Stabler : [about Meredith McGrath]  She goes into an adult chat room, pretends she's a 13-year-old girl. She changes her screen name to "luv2cheer13." Almost immediately, six guys are hitting on her.

  Detective Sam Bishop : So she's getting off with a fantasy?

  Elliot Stabler : I don't know, but then she starts setting up meetings in hotels with these guys. Now, what the hell is the point of that? It's not like she can all of a sudden turn into this 13-year-old girl once she gets there.

• Elliot Stabler : [to Claudia Williams about Meredith McGrath]  So she did your dirty work. When she got killed for it, "Oh well, it was her decision." Is that it?

• Elliot Stabler : [to Bishop]  Listen to me. I don't want you jumping in my game like that again. Are we clear? Look, it's only going to get uglier from here on out, so if you can't handle it, you've just got to let me know right now.

• Elliot Stabler : Mia, look, I'm sorry, but it's true and this guy is not who you think he is. Erich Tassig is a criminal, he's a liar, he's a manipulator. He won't protect you, so don't sit here and protect him.

• Kate Logan : [to Stabler]  Eric Tassig isn't the only man profiting off the sale of children.

  Elliot Stabler : You don't do anything about it, huh?

  Kate Logan : Europol has no authority over the Czech citizens. As far as the Czech police, they have no incentive to stop it. There's too much money to be made handing out parking tickets to the German tourists. Look, this is the world that we live in, Detective Stabler. I should think in your line of work, you'd understand that.

  Elliot Stabler : In my line of work, we wouldn't just sit back and take it.

  Kate Logan : That's very noble, but as long as the demand for child exploitation exists, there's little we can do.

  Elliot Stabler : So what the hell are you doing here?

  Kate Logan : It's my job. What are you doing here?

• Erich Tassig : Why are you so obsessed with children? That is disgusting.

  Elliot Stabler : Your business is selling child rape videos and we're disgusting?
