ADA Rafael Barba
- Rafael Barba: Logan Carter raped two women, sexually harassed God knows how many. Optimum knew and they did nothing.
- Olivia Benson: So what are you saying? Putting away one rapist pilot isn't enough?
- Rafael Barba: No, it's not. The whole culture has to change.
- Amanda Rollins: I used to think pilots were sexy. Silly me.
- Rafael Barba: Let's hope the jury isn't blinded by the uniform.
- Olivia Benson: [about Tara] She has a right to be angry. I get it. Jurors don't like difficult women.
- Rafael Barba: Especially female jurors.
- Olivia Benson: [showing Barba the New York Ledger] You know, I thought that grand jury proceedings were secret.
- Rafael Barba: They are, but that courthouse leaks like a sieve. Optimum's stock is down 30%, they'll be declaring bankruptucy by the end of the week.
- Olivia Benson: You're a feminist icon, Rafael.
- Rafael Barba: Hmm. I do my best. I think that earns me a nice, thick steak.
- Olivia Benson: Congratulations on the indictment.
- Rafael Barba: [with a laugh] The first thing Optimum will do is make a motion to dismiss. Which they'll win, but I get to appeal.
- Olivia Benson: And you'll win that?
- Rafael Barba: 60/40 against. But we got the wheels turning. If this law's ever going to change, this is a good start.
- Rafael Barba: [about Tara] It's a he said she said, only he's a hero and she's a crazy woman who took a plane hostage.
- Olivia Benson: Guys like Carter, Tara couldn't have been his first victim.
- Rafael Barba: Well, if there's someone else, Optimum Air is not going to help us find her. We need something stronger, Liv.
- Captain Logan Carter: Jeanne Howell? Do you know what I did for her?
- Rafael Barba: We know what you did to her.
- Captain Logan Carter: You want to hear about Jeanne Howell? I can keep you here for hours.
- Amanda Rollins: Luckily, Mrs. Howell is meticulous. She's detail-oriented; probably what makes her a good pilot. She kept evidence of the assault. Some of it ripped. Photos of the physical trauma, and e-mails between the two of you after the rape.
- Rafael Barba: You were a little loose-lipped, Captain.
- Amanda Rollins: Contemporary statements to her friends.
- Roger Kressler: What are you looking for?
- Rafael Barba: The captain pleads guilty to two counts rape two, ten years.
- Captain Logan Carter: Are you crazy?
- Rafael Barba: We could go to trial, on Jeanne Howell's rape. If you're found guilty, you're looking at twenty-five years.
- Roger Kressler: [after a moment of silence, he and Carter share a look] Draw up your paperwork.
- Rafael Barba: All the people who enabled Captain Carter should be in that cell with him.
- Olivia Benson: Yes, they should. But unfortunately, being sexist, uh... misogynistic pigs isn't a crime.
- Rafael Barba: It should be.
