ADA Rafael Barba
- Rita Calhoun: Dr. Rudnick was out on bond. He was simply taking in the sights of Buffalo.
- Rafael Barba: Uh-huh. We have a DNA match from Rachel Groves' hair and blood on the kitchen floor of an apartment that he leased.
- Rita Calhoun: He's an M.E. He autopsied her body. It could be cross-contamination.
- Rafael Barba: Well, he didn't autopsy Susie Frain and we found her blood in his car.
- Rita Calhoun: They were old friends. He gave her a ride. She bled from a paper cut. Both those cases were circumstantial and don't get me started on a 13-year-old body in a wall.
- Rafael Barba: So why are you here, Rita?
- Rita Calhoun: You have an M.E. accused of being a serial killer. The last thing your bosses want is a long, drawn-out trial. And these headlines... how are your migraines?
- Rafael Barba: Your solution is?
- Rita Calhoun: Dr. Rudnick pleads to one count of tampering with evidence and one count of unlawful disposal of a body. This goes away as quietly as possible.
- Rafael Barba: Misdemeanors? He killed three women. I can offer manslaughter, served concurrently.
- Rita Calhoun: A public defender can get as much. He is paying for more than that.
- Rafael Barba: I hope there's enough money in the world, Rita. I really do.
- Rita Calhoun: You better hope you don't get a conviction because if you do, every case Dr. Rudnick touched will be subject to an appeal, starting with Greg Yates.
