ADA Rafael Barba
- Rafael Barba: He was shot once in the chest, once in the groin?
- Olivia Benson: Well, the M.E. thought that the shot in the groin was first.
- Rafael Barba: Of course it was. Somebody wanted Alvin to have a couple seconds to think about who shot him and what his life would be like without his pecker.
- Olivia Benson: Three days, two dozen interviews. At least half of these models admit to being pressured into sex.
- Odafin Tutuola: None of them will testify.
- Rafael Barba: But what about the vic from twelve years ago?
- John Munch: That story has a happy ending. She's pimping for him now.
- Mike Dodds: No GSR on Matt's hand. Wrong gun. So we just let him go?
- Olivia Benson: No, not until I talk to Sally; maybe get an OOP for her.
- Rafael Barba: You're worried about what he might do?
- Olivia Benson: Oh, I know what he'll do.
- Rafael Barba: Then I'll hold him on the gun charge, make sure he does time on that.
- Olivia Benson: Thank you.
- Counselor Jason Gruber: When there's no case, there's no case.
- Olivia Benson: Well, actually, Nora has admitted to serving Sally, a minor, drinks.
- Counselor Jason Gruber: Oh, please.
- Rafael Barba: And what should be more troubling to her legal team, Nora has admitted to taking photos of Sally having sex with Alvin.
- Counselor Jason Gruber: Consensual sex.
- Rafael Barba: She's seventeen. And while New York may not be able to press charges, according to the feds, that constitutes child pornography.
- Nora Wattan: [to Gruber] Is that true?
- Rafael Barba: He knows it is. Punishable by five years for each image.
- Olivia Benson: Right there when Alvin turns around, the look on his face when he sees the shooter.
- Mike Dodds: He knows him. He's not afraid of him.
- Odafin Tutuola: [his phone chimes] Unis found a gun on the roof, a .357 Magnum.
- Olivia Benson: .357? That's old school.
- Odafin Tutuola: Yeah, it is. Just like Alvin's.
- Rafael Barba: Wha... Alvin was shot with his own gun?
- Olivia Benson: Maybe. By someone he knew. By someone he was happy to see.
- Mike Dodds: We got this all wrong. It's not the guy who was shaking Alvin down.
- Olivia Benson: It's the guy who's been cleaning up his messes.
- Olivia Benson: Alvin Gilbert lawyered up en route. It's not his first time at the rodeo.
- Rafael Barba: Nope. There's stories about him all over town. The guy preys on young models, and his brother Benno's the fixer.
- Olivia Benson: Well, his assistant Nora facilitated. She took photos. TARU's going through his camera and SD cards.
- Rafael Barba: Uh-huh. I'm surprised it's gotten this far. The house of Gilbert, they're masters at image control.
- Rafael Barba: I've got 120 hours to indict. Get me more for the grand jury.
- Mike Dodds: Fin is trying to track down the model that accused Alvin twelve years ago.
- Rafael Barba: Tell Fin to hurry it up.
- Rafael Barba: If Miss Wattan will testify about Alvin's assault, we can talk about withdrawing her rape charge.
- Nora Wattan: That was not an assault. That was a creative collaboration; fear, lust, release, capturing primal emotions.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, I get it. You've been Alvin's muse.
- Counselor Jason Gruber: She's his associate.
- Olivia Benson: But you're not seeing him for who he is.
- Nora Wattan: Don't patronize me. Alvin is a genius. I would never betray him, and neither will any model in this city.
- Olivia Benson: Well, I hope you're right, 'cause we're gonna be talking to all of them.
- Amanda Rollins: [Sally has chosen not to testify for the grand jury] Does anyone actually believe Sally is the one making this decision? Matt's obviously pulling her strings.
- Olivia Benson: Sally is his meal ticket. The Gilberts must've made Sally an offer that Matt couldn't refuse.
- Rafael Barba: Witness tampering? That's tough to prove.
- Olivia Benson: Well, unless you have a better idea, that's all I got.
- Mike Dodds: Pictures are in.
- Olivia Benson: [Dodds hands her a tablet] Finally.
- Rafael Barba: Ugh.
- Olivia Benson: She looks terrified.
- Rafael Barba: Or they'll say that's the campaign. "When fear becomes obsession".
- Olivia Benson: Seriously?
- Rafael Barba: I have to tell you about rape culture?
- Mike Dodds: That's not an ad campaign. That's a girl being assaulted.
- Olivia Benson: Look, Barba's right. They're just gonna claim that this was staged. Is this enough to arrest?
- Rafael Barba: I'd like more, but if we don't indict, he hops on a jet to France and doesn't come back 'till Sally gets paid off.
