A woman who is beaten by her husband for years attempts to leave him, but doesn't make it the first time. She needs the polices help.

(Olivia got a domestic violence call to respone to saint vincent's hospital.)

"Look I don't want to press charges he won't stay in jail forever and when he gets out he'll be madder than hell."

"Netta my name is Olivia Benson from the special victims unit do you want to talk?"

"He was drunk and I must have done something wrong to piss him off."

"You know this wasn't your fault right?"

"Please every time it's my fault, because I never can do anything right to please my boyfriend."

"Ma'am I need to examine your injuries and clean you up."

"Okay, but no pictures."

"Netta what if I promised you that I will try to do everything I can to make sure your boyfriend never hits you again?"

"How?"

"Have you reported this before?"

"No, I haven't even been to the ER until tonight."

"Hm..."

"My girl friend Lizzie has pictures."

"Pictures?"

"Yeah every time he'd beat me I'd go to Lizzie's and she would take pictures while we were talking. I would get cleaned up, stay the night at Lizzie's."

"Can you call Lizzie?"

"If Dennis finds her he'll..."

"Netta nothing's gonna happen to Lizzie I'll take both of you to a safe place."

"Okay. This is Lizzie's cell phone 631-452-1327, call her L."

"L?"

"Yeah."

"Damnit I wish I could talk to Lu right now."

"Lu?"

"Doctor Lu Delgado, she was my old doctor I'm from Philly."

"Why'd you leave Philly?"

"I'm in school up here."

"Olivia can I tell you something?"

"Yeah what's up?"

"Even if your with someone that's your boyfriend. If they want to do something and you don't..."

"Netta are you saying that you had to do something that you didn't want to do?"

"All the time."

"What would happen if you didn't?"

"I would end up staying with Lizzie for a few days."

"I wish I could talk to Lu."

"Maybe you could call her or something."

"Yeah I do still have her e-mail at the clinic."

"Once you leave the hospital can you come do to the station with me so we can talk in my office?"

"Of course Live."

"Do you want him arrested Netta?"

"I don't know."

"What if I could tell you that I will do everything I can to keep you safe until court?"

"Well alright."

"Miss can we finish your exam & take the pictures?"

"Sure."

"Netta what's your boyfriend's name?"

"Eddie."

(Netta is crying at this point & Olivia talks with Lizzie to give Netta a break.)

"The nurse told me that you wanted to talk."

"Yeah I'm Olivia the detective on Netta's case."

"You gonna get that sorry excuse of a man that hurt my girl?"

"As soon as Netta is finished the three of us can go down to my office."

"Look maybe after this is all over we can go back to Philly and stay with your sister for a while."

"Aubrey would love that."

"I have always wanted to meet your sister you talk about her constantly."

--Olivia's office--

"Netta this is Alex, the DA that will be handleing your case."

"Hello."

"Netta I want to try to put your boyfriend in prison."

"For how long?"

"For a while."

"I'll have to transfer back to Philly to finish school."

"Girl you know I'm coming with you."

--After Court--

"So your off to Philly?"

"The plane leaves next week."

"Well Sean won't be bothering you for a while."

"Yeah he'll be in prison for a while, twelve years."

"The hardest thing was talking about it in front of him with those damn defense attorney's."
