Katriona Tamin : Going through this girl's social media, it's a mash-up of "Jesus is my boyfriend" songs and kitten videos.
Odafin Tutuola : Anything that puts her in New York?
Katriona Tamin : No, but I do have a lead on Isaac.
Odafin Tutuola : Look who made it to New York. That's a fresh tattoo. So all we gotta do is check out tattoo parlors.
Katriona Tamin : Already did. I started with parlor websites near Port Authority, East Village, Uptown, and I found this. Gretchen, artist-in-residence, In the Heights Tats.
Odafin Tutuola : Well, let's go.
Katriona Tamin : Just spoke to her. She knew where Isaac lives. Didn't ask why.
Odafin Tutuola : Good work.

Olivia Benson : Evangeline is here now, and New York has full reproductive rights for girls of any age.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : That is right. It's the girl's decision.
Amanda Rollins : Well, she's upset, but she definitely wants the abortion.
Odafin Tutuola : The parents are fundamentalists. Once they get here, they're gonna throw her in the car and take her home.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : She's 13?
Olivia Benson : She is.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : It's gonna be hard for a judge to deny parental custody.
Amanda Rollins : Even with evidence of sexual abuse? I mean, going back years.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : That's a different story. A family court prosecutor could argue that the parents knew or should've known about the abuse. That gets you neglect.
Odafin Tutuola : There may not be time for that. The Millers are on their way here now.
Olivia Benson : We're talking about a pregnant 13-year-old runaway. Carisi, can't we take emergency custody? I'm going to call ACS.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : She's also gonna need her own lawyer. I'll call Legal Aid.
Olivia Benson : And they're gonna just send someone who's handling 75 other cases. Look, I... I know someone who's very good with custody issues. So, Fin, in the meantime, find out from Isaac exactly what their relationship was and how much the parents knew.

Odafin Tutuola : Where's Evangeline?
Isaac Franklin : I don't know, I...
Katriona Tamin : Wrong answer, Isaac. We know she's in New York, and we know you're the only person here she knows.
Isaac Franklin : I didn't tell her to come.
Odafin Tutuola : When'd you see her?
[seeing he's reluctant to say]
Odafin Tutuola : I'm calling the Jolene sheriff. He has a warrant out for your arrest.
Isaac Franklin : What? For hooking up with my girlfriend?
Katriona Tamin : [taking out her handcuffs] So, Isaac, you can talk now or pray later. Turn around.
Isaac Franklin : She needed a place to crash, okay? I mean, she's friends with my kid sister, okay?
Katriona Tamin : Where is she now?
Isaac Franklin : I don't know. We... we got in kind of argument. She left.
Odafin Tutuola : Why'd she leave?
Isaac Franklin : She needed money. I told her she could crash here all she wants, but that's all I could do.
Katriona Tamin : And you have no idea where she is now?
Isaac Franklin : I loaned her my dog. I told her she could panhandle with Duke, by the... by the 99 cents pizza place.

Olivia Benson : A teen runaway from Jolene, Ohio? That's still Missing Persons.
Katriona Tamin : She's 13. I called her parents. They think that she was lured here by a boy, Isaac Franklin, 19, from their town.
Odafin Tutuola : Jolene sheriff says Isaac skipped out on a bench warrant for a statutory; different girl.
Olivia Benson : Okay, so track the boy down, call the parents back, and tell them that SVU is...
Katriona Tamin : Actually, they're here. Drove all night. They're in the waiting room.
