Anne Mill
- Peter Stone: This other woman, the one you saw saving your family from the suffering, did you say anything to her?
- Anne Mill: Excuse me?
- Peter Stone: You testified it was like watching another woman. I just want to know if you spoke to her before she stabbed your husband and your children.
- Anne Mill: No.
- Peter Stone: Did you try and stop her?
- Anne Mill: She wasn't real.
- Peter Stone: But you thought she was, isn't that right? I mean, that's your proof that you're insane.
- Anne Mill: No, I didn't try to stop her.
- Peter Stone: Because you wanted them dead, isn't that right?
- Anne Mill: Because I wanted to protect them. They're better off now.
- Peter Stone: Better off than what?
- Anne Mill: For facing a world without...
- Peter Stone: Without what, Mrs. Mill?
- Anne Mill: Well, isn't it obvious?
- Peter Stone: No. It's not.
- Anne Mill: Without me.
- Peter Stone: I've got news for you, Mrs. Mill. You're not so great.
- Billy O'Boyle: Objection.
- Judge Felicia Catano: Sustained.
- Anne Mill: I shelter them, I protect them. It is a hard world, Mr. Stone, and I didn't want to watch my babies be swallowed up by it.
- Peter Stone: Then why didn't you just kill yourself?
- Bill Schwartz: Can I help you?
- Lilly: I tried to stop him.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: NYPD. I need to speak to Anna Mill.
- Bill Schwartz: Unless this is life or death...
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Unfortunately, it is.
- Anne Mill: What is it?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Maybe we should do this in private.
- Olivia Benson: You killed them... didn't you, Anna? You did this.
- Anne Mill: Of course I did this. I had to.
- Olivia Benson: You had to kill your children?
- Anne Mill: Don't you see? They're so much better off now.
- Olivia Benson: Mrs. Mill, um... there's no evidence that your home was robbed.
- Anne Mill: What are you saying? You mean somebody wanted...
- Olivia Benson: That's... that's what we're thinking now. Did... did anybody have a grudge...
- Anne Mill: My children are dead. What kind of a grudge would cause somebody to kill my children?
- Judge Lee Wong: How do you plead, Mrs. Mill?
- Billy O'Boyle: [she glances at him] Mm-hmm.
- Anne Mill: Not guilty.
- Billy O'Boyle: By reason of mental defect, Judge.
- Peter Stone: The People request remand.
- Judge Lee Wong: Mr. O'Boyle?
- Billy O'Boyle: Your Honor, my client's on so much medication, she needs help to get out of the shower. She is not going to run.
- Peter Stone: Judge, she confessed to killing her family.
- Judge Lee Wong: $2 million bail. All cash.
- Billy O'Boyle: Your Honor, my client's accounts have all been frozen pending another criminal proceeding.
- Judge Lee Wong: Well, then she certainly has a problem. Next.
- Anne Mill: I loved them. I loved them all more than anything.
- Lisa Martin: Then I don't understand why you killed them.
- Anne Mill: I ate lunch at a diner every day round the corner from my office. I bring my work. I sit at the counter. And last week, I saw a cockroach. And it was scurrying its way up the metal hood right above the grill. And it could feel the heat... and it was doing its best not to fall down into the sizzling grease. And up he'd go, scurrying up the hood, and then he'd slide back down, catching himself on the ledge. Over and over, up and down. And then finally he just dropped.
- [imitating sizzling]
- Anne Mill: Ssss. Sss... pop.
- Lisa Martin: And you related to the bug?
- Anne Mill: No, I was the ledge. My children... I had to save them before they dropped onto the burning grill.
- Lisa Martin: Which was inevitable?
- Anne Mill: Wouldn't you rather die in your sleep, Doctor? 'Cause I couldn't bear to watch them pop.
