Law & Order1990

A.D.A. Alexandra Borgia:
Arthur gave you the out. You could have handed this case off.

Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy:
Would you let intimidation affect the way you prosecute a crime?

A.D.A. Alexandra Borgia:
I'm not talking about intimidation. I'm talking about getting killed.

Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy:
Doesn't make a difference. It's about the law. It doesn't work if we don't make it work.

[he leaves; she follows him into his office]

A.D.A. Alexandra Borgia:
Off the record?

Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy:
By all means.

A.D.A. Alexandra Borgia:
Trying this case, frankly even standing next to you lately, scares the hell out of me. Enough time, this guy is gonna figure out a way, police protection or not.

Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy:
Okay, maybe.

A.D.A. Alexandra Borgia:
That's not reassuring.

Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy:
Honestly, I'm scared to death. Don't tell Arthur. But handing off this case? It doesn't take my name off the list.
