Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : [to Barba]  Hold on, Hassler did what? She made me look too conscientious?

  Rafael Barba : She implied you were so desperate to get closure for Delores, you manufactured a suspect.

  Olivia Benson : That's ridiculous. And you let her get away with it?

  Rafael Barba : I couldn't shoot her. She's just doing her job. She's good at it.

  Olivia Benson : So you let her hang me out to dry.

  Rafael Barba : Table that. You're up after lunch. Let's prep.

  Olivia Benson : You know what? I've actually testified a few hundred times. So I think I'll be fine. I need to get back to the squad room.

  [is about to leave the courtroom] 

  Rafael Barba : No, you don't. Lewis Hodda might walk if Hassler can make the jury think your emotions got in the way of your police work which is what they're doing right now. I need you to sit your ass down and work with me.

  Olivia Benson : Fine. Start working.

• Olivia Benson : [to Huang]  What the hell were you doing up there?

  Dr. George Huang : Testifying.

  Olivia Benson : For that man? You and I used to put people like that away. You know what he did to Hector. What he did to Wyatt.

  Dr. George Huang : To Wyatt, yes, but to Hector, I don't know.

  Olivia Benson : So you think I coerced him? Is that what you think? How long have we known each other?

  Dr. George Huang : Olivia, he's suggestible. It may not have been your intent, but if you planted an idea, he might have believed it.

  Olivia Benson : He believed it because he did it!

  Dr. George Huang : I'm sorry, but I don't know that and neither do you.

• Olivia Benson : Hodda's not insane. He gave that confession voluntarily. Okay, it's not like we beat him with rubber hoses.

  Rafael Barba : I'm sure you didn't, but please don't sound that defensive on the stand.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : Well, the hearing was awesome.

  Olivia Benson : Uh, Barba didn't think so.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : He took a hit, but the badinage. I tell you, Hodda lucked out with that new lawyer.

  Odafin Tutuola : And we're supposed to be happy for him?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : No, we're not.
