"Mal, before we go in, I want to be totally honest with you."
"Hey, I'm up for anything-"
"I killed Kathy Stabler."
"Ha! That's-"
"I'm serious."
"Sloo- Ok, now you're scaring me. It was Wheatley-"
"Wheatley did as I told him. You don't understand. Stabler got my mom pregnant. And then he abandoned us. She was a warrant officer, killed in the line of duty when I was ten years old. From then on, I was on my own."
"Ok, that's a lot and I can tell there's a lot of feelings to sort through-"
"I spent years sorting through feelings. You know what my feelings told me? I needed to act. Expose the truth. Claim my birthright.
"So funny. The way everyone was running all over the city looking for Grandma Stabler, meanwhile his kids thought they were safe at home. No one even doubled-back to check on them."
"You wouldn't..."
"Oh, it's already done."
