  • Jack McCoy: You're a grownup ... you're on your own. I'm getting off the train.
    Michael Cutter: How about you?
    Connie Rubirosa: All aboard. edit »
  • Cyrus Lupo: Hey man, are you, like, a socks-on guy or a socks-off? You know.
    Ed Green: Yeah, yeah, I know.
    Cyrus Lupo: Well, I get cold feet, so to be considerate I, uh, wear socks, you know?
    Ed Green: I get it, man, I just can't believe you're telling me that. edit »
  • Anita Van Buren: We might need a little prosecutorial pressure.
    Connie Rubirosa: Hmm, that's my specialty. edit »
  • Ed Green: Stolen money, stolen car. Hit-and-run's only the tip of this iceberg, I bet. edit »
  • This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of a number of sub-prime mortages scandals. The scam that Green and Lupo uncover concerns a crew taking advantage of people who are losing their homes due to sub-prime lending. These are loans made to people with less than a 'prime' credit rating and this has led to a downturn in the U.S. and world economies. edit »

    An Iago-like con-artist leads police from a double hit-and-run murder to a huge real-estate scam to a quintuple robbery-murder to a partner-murder then, in a bid to escape punishment, pits McCoy against a Federal Prosecutor chasing imaginary terrorists. ...Continue »

    The Bottom Line: "Series classic"

    Now comes Dick Wolf with his latest, continuing villainess, ('the one who got away?') to begin a trilogy (quadrilogy??) ala the Australian chick on L&O-CI. If you didn't see it, don't read anything more about this episode until you do... ...Continue »
