Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : [to Barba about Lewis]  He wants to plead to rape?

  Rafael Barba : Multiple counts of rape in the first, multiple counts of sodomy and he wants to plead guilty with an allocation of each specific.

  Olivia Benson : He wants to stand up in open court and give graphic details of what he did not do to me?

  Rafael Barba : He will get 25 years to life. He will die in prison, Olivia. You will avoid a trial and having to testify.

  Olivia Benson : No, no. No, he does not get to do that to me. He did not rape me. He did not sodomize me. You look at that rape kit. After four days, he did not have the balls to rape me and now he wants to stand up in open court?

• William Lewis : [to Olivia]  I think we both remember what happened next. You became violent.

  Olivia Benson : I was trying to stay alive.

  William Lewis : We both know that's not what happened! Wasn't I handcuffed? Didn't you beat me? Didn't you send the housekeeper and her daughter home? Tell them not to call the police?

  Olivia Benson : I was trying to save their lives.

  William Lewis : You were trying to be alone with me!

• William Lewis : [to Olivia]  I have a limp now, I've lost my hearing, I am partially blind. Did you or did you not brutally beat me within an inch of my life while I was lying helpless, handcuffed to the bed?

  Olivia Benson : You had broken free of your restraints and I did what I had to do to subdue you.

• Olivia Benson : He's gonna walk. The jury knows that I lied.

  Rafael Barba : The jury saw him attack you. They didn't like it. We repaired a lot of the damage.

  Olivia Benson : That forewoman. He's playing her.

  Nick Amaro : So what? Barba's gonna tear him apart.

  Olivia Benson : [to Barba]  Don't chance it. Take the deal. He wants to allocute about raping me? He's already humiliated me. What's a few more hours?

• Rafael Barba : [to Olivia]  I have to tell you, given the extent of his injuries, they will go after you for excessive force. He may claim that he was handcuffed when you crushed his skull. You testified to a police investigator and a grand jury that Lewis lunged at you, that you used the bar to defend yourself until he was no longer a danger to you.

  Olivia Benson : That is what I said.

  Rafael Barba : Your grand jury testimony from last May. You study those transcripts. If you deviate from your statement in any way, it will create reasonable doubt about all of your testimony. He will use it as a wedge. He could walk again, Liv.
