- Jack McCoy: [cross-examining Madison] So, Mr Madison, did you call the police when your friend Roger Barry died?
- Eli Madison: No.
- Jack McCoy: What were the circumstances of his death?
- Eli Madison: He had a heart attack.
- Jack McCoy: A heart attack? Are you a doctor?
- Eli Madison: [rolls eyes] No.
- Jack McCoy: Did you call an ambulance?
- Eli Madison: No.
- Jack McCoy: Why not?
- Eli Madison: I thought I might be blamed for what happened to him.
- Jack McCoy: Just as you thought you might be blamed for your friend Dwayne Evans's accident?
- Eli Madison: Yes.
- Jack McCoy: Just as you thought you might be blamed for the disappearance of your wife Caroline?
- Eli Madison: Yes.
- Jack McCoy: Blamed for a disappearance, an accident, and a heart attack?
- Eli Madison: [interrupting, frantic] The police, they were out to get me!
- Jack McCoy: With three dead bodies, can you blame them?
- D.A. Arthur Branch: A murder conviction without a body, it's a prosecutor's quadruple jump.
- Jack McCoy: I'm not gloating.
- D.A. Arthur Branch: Go ahead, you're entitled. I guess justice isn't for sale after all.
- Jack McCoy: Not today anyway.
- [cut to closing credits]
- D.A. Arthur Branch: This office has tried a couple of murder cases without a body, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
