Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Season 9

[Nichols is forced to make a deal with the FBI to let Hassan go]

Nichols:
You've been told.

Hassan:
Your evidence is flawed. I'm to be released.

Nichols:
Yeah, you've skated on this. So, someday, I'm gonna be watching CNN or pick up a paper, and there you'll be.

Hassan:
Being praised for the wisdom of my rule.

Nichols:
More likely because somebody you've trusted, as your father trusted you, will have done to you as you did to your father. Will it come as a gunshot fired by a loyal chauffeur? Poison from your favorite wife? Hanged in a basement like Saddam Hussein? It's hard to say. But you know it's coming. You just don't know when.
