Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 20

Stone:
This other woman, the one you saw saving your family from the suffering, did you say anything to her?

Anna:
Excuse me?

Stone:
You testified that it was like watching another woman. I just want to know if you spoke to her before she stabbed your husband and your children.

Anna:
No.

Stone:
Did you try to stop her?

Anna:
She wasn't real.

Stone:
But you thought she was, isn't that right? I mean, that's your proof that you're insane.

Anna:
No, I didn't try to stop her.

Stone:
Because you wanted them dead, isn't that right?

Anna:
Because I wanted to protect them. They're better off now.

Stone:
Better off than what?

Anna:
From facing a world without...

Stone:
Without what, Mrs. Mill?

Anna:
Isn't it obvious?

Stone:
No, it's not.

Anna:
Without me!

Stone:
[disgusted] I've got news for you, Mrs. Mill... You're not so great.

O'Boyle:
Objection!

Judge Catano:
Sustained.

Anna:
I sheltered them. I protect them. It is a hard world, Mr. Stone, and I didn't want to watch my babies be swallowed up by it!

Stone:
Then why didn't you just kill yourself?
