Samantha Mathis: Hilary Barclay

Quotes 

• Detective Olivia Benson : [to Hillary]  Venti whole milk latte. That's what you ordered at the coffee shop when your mother murdered Gorman. We saw you on their surveillance tape.

  Hilary Barclay : Are you going to arrest her?

  Detective Olivia Benson : We can't. Double jeopardy.

  Hilary Barclay : I don't mind going to jail.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Because you castrated him?

  Hilary Barclay : I followed him for days, waiting for the right moment to kill him. He saw me on the subway platform. I said, "I know who you are," and that I was going to tell his dirty secret. He laughed and said, "Go ahead. No one's going to believe a whoring junkie." He turned, and I hit him on the back of the head, and I dragged him to the end of the platform. And he was lying there, and I had the perfect chance to kill him, but then I realized that castrating him would make him suffer even more.

  Detective Olivia Benson : And you told your mother what you'd done? When did you find out that your mother murdered him?

  Hilary Barclay : Not until after you came to arrest me. She did it for me. She wanted to keep me safe. I couldn't let her go to jail.

  Casey Novak : She belongs there. Now, what happened to you is horrible, and I am sorry, but nothing gives you the right to lie, or your mother the right to murder.

  Hilary Barclay : Well, he'll never torture another woman again, will he?
