- Cookie Costello: I don't remember anything, after I got out of my car. After thirty years, nothing. The - the doctor said it was the shock; I say it was God's way of healing.
- Detective Rey Curtis: Well, that's a - that's a good way of looking at it.
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: A new trial, Adam? Thirty-year-old evidence, witnesses gone who knows where?
- DA Adam Schiff: You have the victim, and a confession. You want me to gift wrap it for you?
- ADA Claire Kincaid: He's almost sixty. The jury might think he's rehabilitated - even harmless.
- DA Adam Schiff: Munoz has crawled halfway out of the hole we dug for him thirty years ago. You hit him with a shovel, before he crawls all the way out.
- Cookie Costello: My father was there when they brought me in. The doctors told him about the baby. He asked them if they could keep it secret, for my sake. Never even told my mother...
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: In my experience, there's only two reasons why a woman drops a bad habit. One: A new man...
- Detective Rey Curtis: Or a baby.
- Cookie Costello: I - I gambled. And sometimes I worked for my bookie, to - to pay off my debts. It was very foolish. I - I wasn't a career woman. The way I grew up, family is everything. That's impossible now - because of him.
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: His competency is not in question. Besides, it's irrelevant. Miranda isn't retroactive; it's not grounds for appeal for every felon convicted before then.
- Teri Marks: I'm not talking about every felon - I'm talking about a case where there's the possibility of a conflict of interest. The confession was never challenged.
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: Then challenge it under the laws as they existed in 1965. I've read them, your honor - I bet even Clarence Darrow couldn't get this confession suppressed.
- ADA Claire Kincaid: It's exculpatory. It points to a credible alternative theory of the crime.
- DA Adam Schiff: I see. Farina was furious she was pregnant - he attacked her. Killed her unborn baby. Left her for dead.
- ADA Claire Kincaid: It might sound credible to a jury.
- DA Adam Schiff: And Munoz comes along and rapes her - still credible.
- ADA Claire Kincaid: Maybe not - but I'd err on the side of caution, and turn over what we know.
- DA Adam Schiff: And give this three-time rapist a chance to bluff the jury!
- ADA Claire Kincaid: That can't be a consideration.
- DA Adam Schiff: Oh, it sure as hell can.
- ADA Claire Kincaid: At the risk of committing reversible error? How many times do we want to re-try Munoz?
- DA Adam Schiff: As many times as it takes! We're legally, morally and ethically entitled to keep this information from him - and that's exactly what we're gonna do.
- Teri Marks: You threatened to tell his wife, unless he gave you money for an abortion.
- Cookie Costello: That's not true! I - I am a good Catholic; I would never do a thing like that!
- Teri Marks: You mean the kind of good Catholic who gets arrested for bookmaking? Who commits adultery with felons?
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: Objection!
- Trial Judge Harold Rockwell: Sustained. Tone it down, Miss Marks.
- ADA Claire Kincaid: It won't be pretty. Marks'll have a field day with Costello.
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: Unless we inoculate the jury.
- ADA Claire Kincaid: We do it to her before Marks does?
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: Ask the L.A. prosecutors: Don't they wish they'd pulled the pin on the Fuhrman grenade?
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: I always did want to own a bar.
- Detective Rey Curtis: Place is a gold mine, Lennie - ten guys to every guy.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Yeah; when I used to come in here, it was all guys, too - except we had the Giants game on.
- ADA Claire Kincaid: Marks knows her audience. Could've heard hair grow in that jury box.
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: People slow down for traffic accidents; that doesn't mean they approve.
- Cookie Costello: I was 22; I liked the excitement. I used to have a crush on Sandy Koufax; I - I used to bet the Dodgers when he pitched. I bet the Giants, but sometimes I got jammed up, and so I took bets at the bar, for the bookies - to work it off. I got caught.
- Detective Rey Curtis: And that's it? You never had any trouble with Bobby Farina?
- Cookie Costello: You think I brought this on myself?
- Costello: Look at it - it's the dress she was wearing. Every time that animal comes up for parole, I'm there with this! He laughs at me in the court - and you think it's not him? You're damn fools!
- Eddie Murrows: Bobby was in East Orange. May 25th, 1965. Red letter day in sports. Ali took Liston in one. Bobby visited a client in Jersey - a guy in the restaurant trade. It's possible an unsolved battery was committed on this person.
- Detective Landis: We had our guy - Munoz. The sick sonofabitch followed her from work in his car; picked on her because she was wearing a white dress. Figured she was canned goods.
- Detective Rey Curtis: You said she was coming home from work - but we got it she went to a movie.
- Detective Landis: Oh, no - she was workin' under the table at the Franklin Pub. On account of her probation, she was supposed to keep out of the place.
- Detective Rey Curtis: Probation for what?
- Detective Landis: Gambling. We didn't release that... out of respect for the victim.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: What else didn't make it into your report?
- Detective Landis: [pointedly] It had nothin' to do with the case.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: She gambled, Farina collected for gamblers - there's gambling all over the place, except in your report.
- Detective Landis: Munoz did it! He confessed to it - and two rapes besides.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Right after a trip to the West End Grill?
- Detective Landis: [furious] ... Munoz was a righteous bust!... So to hell with ya!
- [Landis gets up and leaves angrily]
- Detective Rey Curtis: ...OK, I'll bite - what's the West End Grill?
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Oh, the docks on the West Side. Back in the '60s, they used to take guys like Munoz out there, and see how far they could swim - after they beat the hell out of them... or so I heard.
