- Nick Amaro: That's my daughter. Everything's a negotiation.
- Olivia Benson: Gee, I wonder where she gets that from.
- Donald Cragen: And let's hope we get a lead before every village idiot in a Casey Anthony mask is too drunk to remember his own name.
- Olivia Benson: [to Amaro] So what's your gut on Tim?
- Nick Amaro: Well, we got off to a bad start. I got in his face, his ego's up.
- Olivia Benson: [referring to Allie] And she saw you as protecting her. You want to do-si-do?
- Nick Amaro: That's what I'm thinking.
- Olivia Benson: [as she shows Tim photographs of the cooler] Do you recognize this? Is that your cooler, Tim?
- Tim Holland: Those coolers, they all look alike.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, some of them do.
- Tim Holland: Yeah, so how do you know that one's even ours?
- Olivia Benson: Because this one has your fingerprints on it.
- Tim Holland: Well, then, there you go. Yeah, yeah.
- Olivia Benson: The lab found something else inside. Found fecal matter, and traces of soy formula, just like Nate drinks. Do you want to explain that to me?
- Tim Holland: I don't know. Uh, Nate's a handful. Maybe Allie was busy, she put a diaper in there.
- Olivia Benson: No mother puts dirty diapers in a cooler. So you have two choices, Tim. The good outcome would be that we find out that this is an accident, and that the baby fell and hit his head.
- Tim Holland: No.
- Olivia Benson: And the bad outcome would be that you lost your temper, and maybe shook Nate.
- Tim Holland: That's not what happened.
- Olivia Benson: Then tell me what did happen. Because I know that that baby wasn't taken from...
- Tim Holland: [yells] Don't you attack me!
- [Olivia glares at him; he begins to cry]
- Tim Holland: I'm sorry.
- Olivia Benson: That doesn't matter. How did Nate end up in the cooler?
- [Tim doesn't answer]
- Olivia Benson: [to Cragen] Tim's overloaded, shut down. Amaro getting anywhere?
- Donald Cragen: They haven't left Buffalo yet.
- Allie Martell: I did it. I must have rolled over on him or something. I killed him. I killed my baby.
- Nick Amaro: No. Allie... Allie ,the M.E. says that Nate died of SIDS.
- Allie Martell: What?
- Nick Amaro: Yeah. Sometimes, babies Th... they just die.
- Allie Martell: Are you sure?
- Nick Amaro: Yeah.
- Allie Martell: The three of us lying in bed together, Tim snoring... it wasn't perfect, but it was good, you know? I was happy. And then... why? Why us? When you woke me up before, I was dreaming that Nate was dead. Then I woke up. I thought it was just a nightmare. Nate was asleep. Everything was fine. And then I remembered.
- Allie Martell: [to Amaro] You still haven't found Nate. You would have said right out if you did. He's dead, isn't he?
- Nick Amaro: Is that what you think?
- Allie Martell: You would have found him by now.
- Nick Amaro: Let's go back to Sunday, the day you left Buffalo.
- Allie Martell: We've been over this.
- Nick Amaro: Well, maybe somebody followed you, knew you were leaving. Sometimes the smallest detail makes all the difference, okay?
- Nick Amaro: [to Allie] All right, so what happened? Tim got drunk? He lost his temper with you? With Nate?
- Allie Martell: No. He doesn't mean the things he does!
- Nick Amaro: You tried to stop him, but you couldn't help Nate. Now you can! You're Nate's mom, all right? You can help him now.
- Allie Martell: How? I just want to go back and make it not happen.
- Nick Amaro: So, whatever happened, they either did it together, or she's covering for him.
- Olivia Benson: Allie and Tim aren't going anywhere. Why don't you, uh, go home and hug your daughter.
- Nick Amaro: Uh, she's taking a nap, so...
- Olivia Benson: You know, Amaro, SVU...
- Nick Amaro: Yeah, I know.
- Olivia Benson: I'm the last person to be giving parental advice.
- Nick Amaro: No, right now, this kid, he needs us.
- Allie Martell: I can handle Tim. He walks through the door, his mood... it's like waves coming off him. I know right away if it's going to be a bad night.
- Nick Amaro: So you can take care of yourself. But what about Nate? Did Tim ever have a bad night with him?
- Tim Holland: When are you going to find my son?
- Olivia Benson: We are doing everything that we can.
- Tim Holland: I don't understand why I have to stay here and answer questions.
- Olivia Benson: Because anything that you remember may help us.
- Tim Holland: I wasn't even there!
- Olivia Benson: I understand that, Tim. I know that you were meeting about the Craigslist rental.
- Tim Holland: Did you talk to the guy?
- Olivia Benson: We did.
- Tim Holland: I'm not lying about that.
- Olivia Benson: I understand how... how stressful this is, and how inful this is, how angry you are...
- Tim Holland: Yeah? Do you know why? Because I wasn't there. I wasn't there to protect my boy. Aw, I screwed up. I screwed it up.
- Olivia Benson: It's okay, Tim, it's okay.
- Tim Holland: No, it's not. You don't think so, and she doesn't think so.
- Olivia Benson: She? Allie? You think Allie's going to blame you because your baby's missing?
- Tim Holland: She'll find a way.
