Quotes 

• Rafael Barba : Is there a limitations problem?

  Odafin Tutuola : The rapes were forcible. He used an eight-inch blade.

  Olivia Benson : He fled the jurisdiction before the lab could test his DNA.

  Rafael Barba : Are there any problems with the arrest?

  Odafin Tutuola : I thought we were supposed to be on the same team.

  Rafael Barba : Do you know how many six-year-old cases dry up, turn to dust, and blow to the four corners by a reasonably competent defense attorney?

  Odafin Tutuola : Not this one.

• Randy Dworkin : I suppose you'd be willing to talk?

  Rafael Barba : As long as he does double digits. And the first one is 2.

• Rafael Barba : Did she at least think he was going to assault her?

  Olivia Benson : No.

  Rafael Barba : Did he break in?

  Olivia Benson : He was already inside by the time I got there. So I'll take Karla's statement first thing in the morning. We will keep him overnight for attempted witness tampering. At least that way we can be sure that he'll be in court tomorrow.

  Rafael Barba : If only to file false imprisonment charges.

  Olivia Benson : Yeah.

  Rafael Barba : What the hell, maybe you should have let her shoot him. That was a joke.

  Olivia Benson : I told her to point a loaded gun at me. I have a kid, Rafael. What was I thinking?

• Rafael Barba : Since when do you come to an arraignment?

  Odafin Tutuola : I just wanted to make sure it sticks this time. What was that clown show in there?

  Rafael Barba : Randy Dworkin is anything but a clown.

  Odafin Tutuola : I never heard of him.

  Rafael Barba : That's because he spends most of his time in federal court, which is appropriate, considering he clerked for Scalia.

  Odafin Tutuola : So why would a guy like that defend a scumbag like Marks in state court?

  Rafael Barba : That's what worries me.

• Rafael Barba : Where's Fin?

  Olivia Benson : He's gone for the night. Why?

  Rafael Barba : Well, I just found out why he showed up at Marks' arraignment. So, uh, defense counsel, the always entertaining Randy Dworkin, just filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Byron Marks.

  Olivia Benson : Is it viable?

  Rafael Barba : I don't know. Did Detective Tutuola kidnap Mr. Marks or not?

  Olivia Benson : What if he did?

  Rafael Barba : We're screwed.

• Odafin Tutuola : I was rougher picking up token suckers when I was back in uniform. I did not torture Marks.

  Rafael Barba : It's a he said, you said.

  Odafin Tutuola : I'm a credible guy.

  Rafael Barba : Let's hope so.

  Odafin Tutuola : Just so I'm sure of this, it doesn't matter how illegal the arrest was?

  Rafael Barba : Go figure. Truth is I had no idea either until I cracked the books last night.
