Assaulting Reality (2016)

Raúl Esparza: ADA Rafael Barba

Quotes 

• Rafael Barba : This girl didn't realize she was raped until she saw it on live TV?

  Olivia Benson : I know, I know.

  Rafael Barba : I get the "she said". What's the "he said"?

• Rafael Barba : Hey. What'd I miss?

  Odafin Tutuola : Melanie's a liar and NYPD screwed up.

  Olivia Benson : [sarcastic]  Yeah, I can't wait to see who the heroes are.

• Jeffrey Prince : [Barba plays an incriminating video file]  She filmed this? Is that even legal?

  Rafael Barba : You put cameras in Melanie's hotel room without her knowledge and then aired it on national TV. That's a felony.

  Olivia Benson : Not to mention your little cover-up. That's another felony. Aiding and abetting a rape? That puts you on the registry.

  Regina Prince : Oh, come on. You... you can't be serious.

  Rafael Barba : We are. What's that other show? "Let's Make a Deal"?

• Rafael Barba : [about Graham]  If the producers told him to kill his friend for the storyline, would he?

  Olivia Benson : Hold on. For what it's worth, Graham tested positive for Chlamydia, same bacterial strain as Melanie.

  Rafael Barba : It's moot. Got him now. How's Melanie doing?

  Odafin Tutuola : The producers gave him up 'cause we were about to find out he was the rapist.

  Olivia Benson : She hasn't wavered since she disclosed.

  Rafael Barba : Good. I want to get her in front of a grand jury tomorrow. Just keep her away from those producers. They have been one step ahead of us the whole time. I don't want any surprises.
