[Carmichael wants to break the law to convict a serial killer]

McCoy:
The New York County District Attorney's Office can't - no, won't - knowingly convict a man of the wrong crime. What are you thinking?

Carmichael:
I'm just taking a page from the Jack McCoy playbook! Nobody gets to bend the rules but you?

McCoy:
I've bent the rules to convict the right person of the right crime. This isn't bending, it's turning the law against itself.

Carmichael:
You once hid a witness to get the result you wanted!

McCoy:
And I was wrong then. You're wrong now. Don't wait until until you're facing a disciplinary committee to realize it!
