- 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.
- Stephen Lomatin: Mr. Barba! I've been trying to reach you. I left seven messages.
- Rafael Barba: Oh, well, there's nothing to talk about. The case has already gone to the jury.
- Stephen Lomatin: Oh no, that's the thing. One of the jurors, Juror Number Four, Thomas Johnson. He lied.
- Rafael Barba: Wait, how do you how did you know his name?
- Stephen Lomatin: I gave a court clerk 50 bucks.
- Rafael Barba: You commit... you bribed a court clerk?
- Stephen Lomatin: I checked Johnson out. He was arrested in Maryland for assault last year. The charges were dropped, but he lost his job.
- Rafael Barba: Okay, well, there must be...
- Stephen Lomatin: No, no, no. It's him, it's him. I went to his house in my uniform and I talked to his sister. It's him. He's on the jury and he doesn't like cops.
- Rafael Barba: You committed bribery, impersonated a real police officer and you tampered with a juror?
- Stephen Lomatin: He could be in that room right now, poisoning the entire jury. Okay, you have to tell the judge.
- Rafael Barba: And ask for what? A mistrial? It's too late to bring in an alternate.
- Stephen Lomatin: I didn't know that. I should have acted faster, but I did find it out. You'll tell the NYPD what I did, won't you?
- Rafael Barba: Oh, yeah. You can count on it.
- 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.: [to Barba] Hey! Counselor. You on your way to the Hodda motion hearing?
- Rafael Barba: Wish I weren't.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: All right, so, listen. You know I'm going to law school at night, right?
- Rafael Barba: I've alerted the Bar Association.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: All right. And you know how I've been talking to you about maybe shadowing? Well, I think that I could really learn a lot on this case.
- Rafael Barba: I don't know. With, uh, Rollins out, SVU is short-staffed and...
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Ah, I checked with Liv. She says Thanksgiving is slow. This is the perfect time. Come on.
- Rafael Barba: Fine. First lesson. Shadows do not speak. They have no opinions.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: You won't even know I'm here.
- 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.
