Quotes 

• Rafael Barba : [picking the man who threatened him out of a lineup]  Number three. He looks smaller in there.

  Amanda Rollins : They usually do, counselor.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : And for what it's worth, while he was in holding, he told me he got paid $250 each time he talked to you.

  Rafael Barba : 250? That's it? I should be offended.

• Amanda Rollins : Okay, so you said he threatened you twice. When was the first time?

  Rafael Barba : Uh, after the Munson indictments, he stopped me in front of the courthouse and said that he could throw me down the stairs and crack open my skull.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : Why didn't you tell us about that?

  Rafael Barba : I've been getting threats all year.

  Amanda Rollins : All year? So this may have nothing to do with Rikers. When did the threats start? What kind of threats?

  Rafael Barba : Hang-ups, mostly, on my cell, from burners; a few texts.

  Amanda Rollins : Okay, we're running this through facial recognition. I'm calling Intel, get you a security detail.

  Rafael Barba : Is there someone there you trust? The threats started after I indicted the three cops who shot Terrence Reynolds.

  Amanda Rollins : I'm calling Benson.
