Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola
- Dr. Melinda Warner: You made the right call, Amanda.
- Amanda Rollins: So Mariel was drugged?
- Dr. Melinda Warner: You could say that. She had half a pharmacy in her system.
- Odafin Tutuola: But she is sick.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: And a lot of these drugs make sense. Like the Valproate, for seizures.
- Amanda Rollins: But?
- Dr. Melinda Warner: She also had a cocktail of others. Paxil, St. John's Wort, Ginko. And some of these have severe adverse interactions with the anti-seizure medication.
- Odafin Tutuola: Could that just be an oversight?
- Dr. Melinda Warner: Not by any reputable professional. It this was purposeful, I'd say you're looking at medical malpractice. And possibly a case of child abuse.
- Odafin Tutuola: So what are looking at?
- Amanda Rollins: Munchausen by proxy. A mental illness where a parent makes up fake symptoms or causes symptoms.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Medical child abuse.
- Odafin Tutuola: So he's nineteen?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: And autistic.
- Odafin Tutuola: And she's fifteen and says he raped her?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Rollins doesn't think she understood what the word meant. I get a sense this is a "Romeo & Juliet" scenario here. Should we call Liv?
- Odafin Tutuola: No, we don't call Liv. She's still on leave.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: So what do we do?
- Odafin Tutuola: We take his statement, then we wait on the rape kit. Take it Barba, figure out if we've got a crime.
- Odafin Tutuola: Mariel's fifteen. That's a long time to go along with being sick.
- Amanda Rollins: I'm positive that this is what we're looking at, Fin. Multiple diagnoses from a dozen doctors, that we know of, from six different states. Fifty different medications, at least ten surgeries.
- Odafin Tutuola: Well, aren't these doctors to blame?
- Amanda Rollins: No, because the mother is... she's a very smart liar. Master manipulator. From one doctor to the next, she says that they've lost the records, so she fills in the blanks herself.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: And these doctors have no reason not to believe what she's been telling them.
- Amanda Rollins: So Dawn has been medicating Mariel. She's been making her own daughter sick. And she knows how to do it. She's... she's been getting drugs from online or off the streets.
- Odafin Tutuola: All right. Now it's time to call Liv, Barba, and Child Services.
- Odafin Tutuola: We got enough for a case, Barba?
- Rafael Barba: Based on the files you gave me, probably. I need a full medical and psych workup on Mariel. And I need a court order for a full psych eval on Dawn.
- Olivia Benson: How about a confession?
- Rafael Barba: She's been getting away with this for fifteen years. She's good at covering her tracks.
- Olivia Benson: So she knows what she's doing is wrong?
- Olivia Benson: Does she know why she's here?
- Odafin Tutuola: She's a smart lady.
- Olivia Benson: She didn't ask for a lawyer.
- Odafin Tutuola: Maybe not that smart.
