[last lines]
Mike Dodds : Am I interrupting?
Amanda Rollins : Yeah.
Olivia Benson : No. Rollins and I are done.
[Rollins leaves, and Dodds shuts the door]
Olivia Benson : She just stood there and she lied to my face. And I don't know what to tell your father, because she swears that she didn't leak the video.
Mike Dodds : I believe her.
Olivia Benson : Why?
Mike Dodds : Because I know who did. Don't worry. It can't be traced.
Olivia Benson : What are you telling me?
Mike Dodds : I don't want to put you between me and my father, so you might want to stop asking questions.
Olivia Benson : Okay.
Mike Dodds : [turning to leave] Bobby D'Amico got what he deserved. Told you I never liked the guy.
-
Amanda Rollins : [after a video of Bobby D'Amico is leaked to the media] Liv, I swear to God, I did not leak that video.
Olivia Benson : So I'm supposed to believe you now? You went undercover without informing me. This is another example of you asking for forgiveness instead of permission.
Amanda Rollins : But I... Liv, wait, wait. I've no, no, no. I'm not asking for forgiveness because I didn't do anything.
Olivia Benson : Please stop.
Amanda Rollins : The defense, the judge, Barba all had access to that video. Literally dozens of people could have turned it over.
Olivia Benson : We know the defense didn't do it, Amanda, so I hope you're not seriously suggesting that it was Barba.
Amanda Rollins : Well, I just know it wasn't me.
Olivia Benson : You know, I thought that things would change after you had Jesse. I thought that you would think before you acted. I was hoping to get past my trust issues with you and now this.
Amanda Rollins : I swear on my baby girl that I did not do this.

Mike Dodds : [about Kristi's rape allegation] I know this looks bad.
Deputy Chief William Dodds : Bad? She's a train wreck.
Mike Dodds : Dad.
Olivia Benson : Look, she's not the most credible victim, but I definitely think something happened to her.
Rafael Barba : Probably a lot of things. It's a they-said, she-said. She changed her story and she went on dancing after the alleged assault.
Amanda Rollins : None of that means she wasn't raped.
Olivia Benson : Well, nobody's saying that.
Amanda Rollins : The Chief is, actually.
Deputy Chief William Dodds : [to Barba] Counselor.
Rafael Barba : Mm-hmm?
Deputy Chief William Dodds : If the jury sees an attention-seeking vlogger pull a TV star into the bathroom and then sees her partying ten minutes after she was supposedly raped, how would that play?
Rafael Barba : Not well.
Amanda Rollins : We've taken on tougher cases.
Rafael Barba : We have to pick our battles.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Rollins, this girl's story is compromised.
Mike Dodds : All right, hold up. What if we find a pattern?
Rafael Barba : That's up to the lieutenant.
Deputy Chief William Dodds : Actually, it's up to me. There's a difference between proactivity and harassment.
Olivia Benson : Okay, so what do you propose that I say to this girl?
Deputy Chief William Dodds : Tell her we're sorry, but the D.A. won't move forward. Get her a ride home.
-
Rafael Barba : [after Rollins goes undercover to catch Bobby D'Amico & Noel Panko in the act] You used yourself as bait?
Amanda Rollins : Uh, yeah. Dodds said if we didn't catch these two in the act, then they were gonna walk.
Olivia Benson : Oh, so this was his idea? And now I have to hear from your father, the Deputy Chief, that two members of my squad went completely rogue on me.
Mike Dodds : We're here now. This is pretty damning video.
Rafael Barba : Except it's more prejudicial than probative, and they'd already invoked their right to counsel.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : All right, well, technically cops are not allowed to talk to them without their lawyers present, right? What if while the cops are illegally talking to them, they commit a crime?
Rafael Barba : That's fun question for a bar exam.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : [to Kristi] Did you have consensual sex with Bobby?
Kristi Cryer : Just oral.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : And then what happened?
Kristi Cryer : Noel came in like he knew we were there.
Amanda Rollins : And you were okay with that?
Kristi Cryer : Not really, but Bobby asked if Noel could join us and I said no, and then Bobby said, "Look at those puppy eyes. You hurt his feelings."
Rafael Barba : That's too cheesy for her to make up.
Deputy Chief William Dodds : How do we know that? I'm not sure this girl has any grip on reality at all.
Olivia Benson : Please?
-
Olivia Benson : [to Bobby about Kristi] What did she say, exactly, when Noel walked in?
Bobby D'Amico : Her exact words?
Olivia Benson : Yes.
Bobby D'Amico : I don't know. Her head was in my lap.
Olivia Benson : Excuse me?
-
Rafael Barba : [to Kristi] Right now, we need to find out just what kind of a witness you'd be.
Kristi Cryer : I always tell the truth.
Rafael Barba : [scoffs] Seriously?
Kristi Cryer : Why did you even ask me down here? What, to tell me it's impossible?
Rafael Barba : We asked you down here to give you a taste of what a trial's gonna be like.
Olivia Benson : Look, you didn't tell us the whole truth. You vlogged public accusations. Now, we understand that you were frustrated, but that looks bad.
Rafael Barba : The defense is gonna attack your misstatements, your lifestyle, your penchant for publicity.
Kristi Cryer : I didn't get myself raped so I could put it online. What those two did in that bathroom is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I want to look them in the eye while the jury hears what they did to me.
