Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (TV Series)

Real Fake News (2017)

Patch Darragh: Ron Duca

Quotes 

• Ron Duca : I didn't stalk anyone. I didn't kidnap anyone. I just raised a legitimate question about this unit's odd failure to investigate a ring that enslaves children.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Do you even believe anything you're saying right now, huh? Or is this all about money for clicks on ads?

  Ron Duca : You clearly have no interest in getting to the bottom of this. If you did, you'd have an independent laboratory test those children's DNA and tell us where they came from.

  Olivia Benson : [getting in his face]  Because of your insane fantasies about "human flesh payoffs"?

  Odafin Tutuola : [watching in the observation room]  Think she's gonna rip his head off?

  Amanda Rollins : If she doesn't, I will.

• Ron Duca : Now, you admit there's a sex ring exploiting children. You've seen my evidence about that restaurant. Your people even supposedly talked to that child rapist, Ronald Fleming, but instead of investigating that, you're making empty threats against me.

  Olivia Benson : Oh...

  Ron Duca : Stalking, kidnapping?

  Olivia Benson : ...believe me. You can trust me right now. Those threats? Not empty.

• Olivia Benson : Mr. Duca, I was just coming to see you.

  Ron Duca : This is harassment.

  Olivia Benson : No, this is a warning. If you ever post another word about my son or Detective Rollins' daughter, I will make it my life's mission to connect you to that sex trafficking ring that we just busted.

  Ron Duca : I'm a journalist.

  Olivia Benson : [stopping him as he tries to leave]  No, you're not. You're a fraud. You spread lies. You write stories that you know are false just to create hysteria and panic.

  Ron Duca : I just put it out there. If people wanna believe it, that's on them.

  Olivia Benson : No, this is on you. And I want a full retraction today, by end of day today. And if not, I will arrest you on child pornography charges, and I will do everything in my power to make them stick. Do you understand me?

• Ron Duca : This isn't over. You're attacking the wrong journalist.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, watch yourself Mr. Duca, or you're gonna be back in court. As a defendant.

  Ron Duca : Is that a threat?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah.

  Ron Duca : Well, as long as I know the rules of engagement.

  Olivia Benson : Go home, Mr. Duca.

  Ron Duca : Oh, I will. You have my hard drive, but not my brain, not my website.

  Amanda Rollins : So?

  Ron Duca : The Endless Truth has two million unique visitors a day. And they all believe whatever I tell them to.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : If you really want to help children who are victimized, then tell us who sent you those hacked e-mails.

  Ron Duca : I told you, I don't know. But I do know that young sex slaves sometimes get pregnant and have babies their bosses don't want, and you are a single woman without a child who suddenly, out of nowhere, gets a mystery baby.

  Olivia Benson : Oh, that baby is not a mystery. That baby is my son.

  Ron Duca : Yeah, where'd he come from?
