Law & Order: Special Victims Unit1999

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
[Watching Leon through window] I'm surprised he said as much as he did.

Captain Donald Cragen:
He has the personality of a repeater: he can do no wrong andnothing is his fault. [sound of door; Cragen looks back and Elliot walks in]

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
[off-screen] What was he in prison for?

Elliot Stabler:
Five years; sodomy two, after I finally convinced one of the numerous underage girls he'd had oral sex with to come forward and file a complaint; now he's escalating to intercourse.

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
You're speculating, Elliot. [gets up] He wasn't in the act when you stopped him. That's a problem.

Elliot Stabler:
Attempted rape two, attempted reckless endangerment because he didn't disclose that he was H.I.V. positive. W... where's the problem here?

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
We can't hold him based on what he might do.

Elliot Stabler:
So, we're supposed to wait until after he infects the girl?

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
She consented. His attorney will say he was carrying condoms and planned to use them; we can't prove otherwise.

Elliot Stabler:
We know that Leon was about to have unprotected sex with a minor. Now we cut him loose, he's going to.

Captain Donald Cragen:
You got anything in your bag of tricks, Counselor, now's the time to pull it out.

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
I have something, but I'll have to check and I'll have to involve your psychiatrist.

Captain Donald Cragen:
I'll give him a call.

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
Get him Tate's prison history, arrest records; whatever you can find.

Elliot Stabler:
Leon's rap sheet starts when he was seven years old. He had 11 arrests by his 13th birthday. The record was sealed because he was a juvenile.

Captain Donald Cragen:
Let's get 'em unsealed. [they nod at each other and Alexandra exits and Elliot follows]

Captain Donald Cragen:
Elliot. [Elliot turns in the doorway and Cragen gestures] Close the door.

Elliot Stabler:
Yeah?

Captain Donald Cragen:
[arms tightly crossed] I don't remember telling you to tail Leon Tate.

Elliot Stabler:
I heard he was out; just keepin' my eye on him.

Captain Donald Cragen:
Well, this squad doesn't have enough bodies for you and your partner to go freelancing.

Elliot Stabler:
[nods understandingly] I'd like to think that we saved a young girl's life tonight.

Captain Donald Cragen:
[begins walking] And we would need a new unit if we were to follow every perv that we thought might repeat. Leon Tate did his time. And until somebody makes a complaint, he has rights.

Elliot Stabler:
This guy's penis is a deadly weapon and he's got a thing for young girls. They got rights, too.

Captain Donald Cragen:
Until Cabot gives us the word, you back off. Are we clear? [Elliot is silent]
