Ice-T: Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : So, Raegan still doesn't remember anything. Tell me that you got something from the rape kit.

  Amanda Rollins : Her blood alcohol was 0.1. Presence of Xanax. She disclosed the drinking and the drugs. There were also traces of marijuana, of cocaine, MDMA, and Ambien.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, that's a lot. Anything else?

  Amanda Rollins : Presence of semen from two different donors. Neither matches the fiance.

  Olivia Benson : So the driver and the passenger.

  Odafin Tutuola : Not according to them.

  Amanda Rollins : Listen, her girlfriends implied that this isn't her first night as a blackout drunk. I mean, there's been four visits to the ER over the past year, all alcohol-related. Um, no family here. No siblings. Her father's deceased. Her mom's in an assisted living in Boca.

  Olivia Benson : And these two suspects?

  Odafin Tutuola : No records. Nothing on social media. The passenger's app shows he was dropped off at his place at 1:35 a.m.

  Olivia Benson : Well, that doesn't necessarily mean that he got out of the car. Can anyone put her at Clemente's?

  Odafin Tutuola : No, and there's nothing on security cameras.

  Olivia Benson : Where are we with the suspects' DNA?

  Amanda Rollins : Counselor Carisi isn't sure that we have probable cause. They have him on a short leash over there.

  Olivia Benson : So retrieve abandoned samples. Have CSU run her apartment. She could've been raped there.

  Odafin Tutuola : On it.

  [leaves the office] 

  Olivia Benson : [to Rollins]  What?

  Amanda Rollins : Raegan reminds me of my sister. She's the kind of girl that just craves drama.

  Olivia Benson : I can see that, but something did happen to her.

  Amanda Rollins : It would just help if she could remember anything.

  Olivia Benson : Yes, it would. And she's had a night's sleep, and I'm gonna talk to her again.

  Amanda Rollins : All right.

  Olivia Benson : And Rollins. This interviewing technique actually helps people remember things.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : I wanted all four of these guys to go, but maybe we gotta cut one of 'em a deal.

  Olivia Benson : On a gang rape? Carisi, I can't tell Raegan that.

  Odafin Tutuola : As much as I hate to say it, I think Carisi's right. It's better to get three than none.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, and Anthony Marino is in the middle of a custody battle. He's got the most to lose.

• Julius : Hmm. Anthony Marino. Yeah, I don't know anybody by that name.

  Odafin Tutuola : Wrong answer. You called him at 1:10 that morning.

  Julius : Misdial.

  Odafin Tutuola : For four minutes? Last chance, Julius.

  Julius : Hey, have you ever heard of a butt dial?

  Odafin Tutuola : [showing him a tablet]  You wrote this on your IG. Now, either you're stupid or you think I'm stupid.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : Okay, so this girl claims she doesn't remember changing her route to Sheepshead Bay?

  Olivia Benson : Well, her memories are coming back in pieces, but we don't have the whole puzzle.

  Amanda Rollins : There's no evidence that she was ever in the bar, nothing on her phone indicates that she was meeting someone, and the cell got turned off at 1:20 a.m.

  Odafin Tutuola : We found grit in her shoes and bed, all consistent with the marinas in the area.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Okay, so working theory is she was assaulted by the passenger or the driver?

  Olivia Benson : Or both. There were two semen samples, and her narrative is "they", "them".

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : So they raped her under a boardwalk?

  Olivia Benson : Well, she remembers being in a bed.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Eh, it could've been a boat. Clemente's is right by a marina. You did a canvass?

  Odafin Tutuola : The waterfront's dead after midnight.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Okay, so what do you need?

  Olivia Benson : Credit cards, cell records, anything that will put Nick or Julius at that location after 1:30 when they both swear that they weren't there.

  Amanda Rollins : [her phone buzzes]  Captain, we got a hit from a military database on the DNA from one of the semen samples.

  Olivia Benson : Nick or Julius?

  Amanda Rollins : It's neither. It's-it's some guy named Dennis Callahan.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : So, the owner of the boat, Mr. Marino, he's a good family man, he told us that he wasn't there for any of this, and that if he had been there, he would've stopped it.

  Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : What? It's his boat. He was there.

  Odafin Tutuola : Well, his story is he didn't rape her. You and the other guys did.

  Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : He's lying. He tried. He couldn't get it up.

  Edwina Myerson : Nick, hold on. We tell you what happened...

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : I'll take it into consideration.

  Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : Look, this whole thing was my passenger's idea. He calls the boat guy. They set it up. Boat guy calls his friend. I didn't even rape the girl.

  Odafin Tutuola : Okay, so maybe you just held her down, touched her.

  Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : No.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : No, you didn't touch her at all? You didn't at least cop a feel?

  Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : No, I put her shoes back on, made sure she had her purse and phone. I drove her home. If I hadn't done that, who knows what would've happened to her?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : You know what, Nick? I... I believe you. I do. You're the, uh, the good guy here. I'm just gonna... just gonna need you to write out a statement. Okay? Everything that you just said.

• Amanda Rollins : [to Olivia]  Morning, Lieutenant. I mean Captain.

  Odafin Tutuola : Should we throw you a party?

  Olivia Benson : Please don't. And by the way, if you guys really want to make me happy, sign up for your trauma-informed interview training. It's actually quite helpful.

  Amanda Rollins : What is this, a new Chief mandate?

  Olivia Benson : It is, and he wants us to be better at our jobs, Fin, don't you?

  Amanda Rollins : If he wants us to be better, he should get us some more detectives.

  Olivia Benson : We're working on that, and by the way, nobody wants that more than I do.

• Amanda Rollins : The 99 called, and they just picked up the owner of the boat, Anthony Marino. He lives in Brooklyn. They're bringing him in now.

  Odafin Tutuola : Turns out Julius the passenger used to work in Marino's restaurant. Phone records show Julius calling Marino from the car.

  Amanda Rollins : We've also got Marino at Clemente's on security cams with an unidentified dark-haired man. Now, Raegan remembered an older man. This may be a fourth rapist.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : So this guy Julius gets into a car with a drunk girl, and he and the driver have two friends that they can call at 1:00 in the morning for a gang rape. What kind of animals are these guys?

  Odafin Tutuola : Lowlifes know lowlifes.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Have Nick or Julius invoked yet?

  Odafin Tutuola : Not yet.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Okay, so we work these scumbags until they confess. Nobody walks out of here tonight.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : The victim remembers your boat, Anthony.

  Anthony Marino : I don't know nothing about that.

  Odafin Tutuola : Not according to the driver. Look who else is here. Your friend Julius. He sold you out. His lawyer's on his way here to cut him a deal.

  Anthony Marino : Look, I don't know what those guys are saying, but swear to God, Julius called to borrow my boat. I figured he was hooking up with somebody. If I'd known it was this... I got a daughter, I'm going through a divorce. I'm on the straight and narrow, man.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : That's good. The victim remembers a big, older man. Now, that is you, right?

  Odafin Tutuola : Tell us how to find this guy.

• Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : Ah, that one. She was a mess. Slurring her words. Yelling. She okay?

  Odafin Tutuola : Let's let me ask the questions. When's the last time you saw her?

  Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : I dropped her off at some clam bar. Uh, she changed her route halfway through.

  Odafin Tutuola : Anybody with her at the bar?

  Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : I didn't hang around.

  Odafin Tutuola : What about the other passenger?

  Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : I dropped him off before her. He'll tell you same thing.

  Odafin Tutuola : This your car?

  Besnick 'Nick' Pavlovic : No, no, no, I-I lease. They give me a different one every shift. Look, she was crazy. I just did what she asked. No good deed, man.

• Olivia Benson : Anything?

  Amanda Rollins : This girl got taken for a ride. She was picked up at a Casa Mezcal Dos in Chelsea. One stop at West 40th, a rideshare, and then up to 117th Street.

  Odafin Tutuola : Her home address.

  Olivia Benson : So he did take her home.

  Amanda Rollins : But then it looks like she changed her route. She went over the Triborough Bridge into Astoria for a stop, and then to a bar in Sheepshead Bay.

  Odafin Tutuola : Clemente's Maryland Crab House.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, so canvass Clemente's, talk to her friends, track down the driver and the rideshare passenger.

  Odafin Tutuola : You know there's only the two of us, right?

  Amanda Rollins : Who's gonna take the girl to the ER?

  Olivia Benson : I'll take her.

• Odafin Tutuola : I heard the gunshot, and I knew what it was. And I saw my mom fall. I tried to get to her, but I was a kid. They wouldn't let me get to her.

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : Tell me more.

  Odafin Tutuola : I just wanted her to get up. That's all I wanted. I just wanted her to get up. Okay. I see what you did there. You help the vic go back there, and you just stay out of the way, am I right?

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : That's right. Sometimes this can bring up feelings you may not want to have.

  Odafin Tutuola : It's okay. I know they're still there.

• Amanda Rollins : We got Corso's DNA on the rape kit, and DNA puts all four of them on the boat.

  Olivia Benson : What's Corso saying?

  Odafin Tutuola : Nothing new. The girl was wild. She couldn't get enough of him.

  Olivia Benson : Of course. And what about Anthony?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Still claiming he was never there. Also, his DNA is not in the rape kit.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, and where are we with the driver and the passenger?

  Amanda Rollins : Nowhere. They both lawyered up, and they're digging into Raegan's past.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Liv, how do you think she's gonna hold up on the stand?

  Olivia Benson : I don't know.

• Frank Corso : I'll go, but don't cuff me here in front of everybody.

  Odafin Tutuola : Turn around.
