Quotes 

• Rafael Barba : [to Provo]  You remember Carol McEwan. She made the second 911 call, reporting gunshots that nobody else heard moments before Jessie even got there.

  D.A. Pam James : This is my witness. She's on my list.

  Rafael Barba : She's on mine now. She's going to testify that she was blackmailed by Provo into making a false report.

  Michael Provo : That lying bitch.

  Olivia Benson : Your frame's collapsing, huh, Provo?

• Rafael Barba : Ms. James, what brings you to town?

  D.A. Pam James : I was heading to the governor's fundraiser when I heard that your SVU minions arrested Mr. Provo in Islip.

  Rafael Barba : Yeah, they said traffic was terrible coming back.

• D.A. Pam James : [to Barba]  You attack the integrity of my office, you're in for the fight of your life.

• D.A. Pam James : Mr. Barba, you have to understand, these allegations come as a complete shock to me. You can be assured that my office will conduct a thorough investigation.

  Rafael Barba : I've no doubt you will.

  Amanda Rollins : And in the meantime, all your charges against Jessie can be dropped.

  D.A. Pam James : Due diligence first, Detective.

  Olivia Benson : Due diligence? I'd call it saving face. Jessie Sturgis is innocent. She has a child in foster care.

  Rafael Barba : More to the point, once I get Mr. Provo convicted of conspiracy, every one of your cases he was involved with will be under the microscope. So will your office. Think about what that means, Pam.

  D.A. Pam James : Don't threaten me. Either of you.

  Rafael Barba : Counselor, no threat was intended.

• D.A. Pam James : Mr. Barba, I am due in court in three minutes. Where's that case file?

  Rafael Barba : I've hit a couple of red flags. It turns out Michael Provo was accused of rape four years ago.

  D.A. Pam James : It's not an issue. Charges were never filed.

  Rafael Barba : You mean you never filed them. You were the prosecuting attorney on that case.

  D.A. Pam James : This isn't the city. We don't drag the wrongfully accused through the mud.
