- Olivia Benson: [When a New Jersey officer refuses to release Yusef from custody] Listen, two people were killed and you're deporting the one person that can ID the men that did this?
- New Jersey Officer: I don't wanna get into politics, so I think it's time for y'all to leave before things get unpleasant.
- Olivia Benson: No, no, they already are unpleasant.
- New Jersey Officer: I agree. Now get the hell outta here.
- Rafael Barba: Or what? You're gonna deport me to Cuba?
- [about Carisi]
- Rafael Barba: You gonna take him to Italy?
- Ice Agent: What can I help you with?
- Olivia Benson: We're looking for Yusef Massad. He's a material witness in a pending double homicide investigation.
- Ice Agent: Do you have a warrant?
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: We're in the process of getting one, yeah.
- Ice Agent: Well, when you get one, you can come back.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: We need to find him right now, okay? He's supposed to testify in front of the grand jury tomorrow morning.
- Ice Agent: That's not really our concern.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, where's your boss?
- Ice Agent: Excuse me?
- Olivia Benson: Go get your boss. Now. Look, I realize you're young and you're trying to do your job, but I'm warning you. I've been doing my job a long time, and I got a lot of friends.
- Ice Agent: Are you threatening me?
- Olivia Benson: Yep.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: My God. This kind of racism and hate. It's 2017.
- Olivia Benson: It's happening everywhere, Chief.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: Well, it shouldn't happen here. Not in New York City.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: So what do we know about the family?
- Amanda Rollins: Kanann and Maya Samra. They immigrated legally from Damascus 25 years ago. Their daughters, Lela and Shala they were born here in New York.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: It's a family-run restaurant. They've been in business 15 years. There's no apparent financial issues.
- Amanda Rollins: They're like model citizens. They pay their taxes, there's no legal problems in their past not even a parking ticket.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: Anything else?
- Odafin Tutuola: They're practicing Muslims. They attend a local mosque. No connection to any radical groups.
- Olivia Benson: It's a perfect American family.
- Yusef Massad: [as Carisi and Yusef walk past a group of protesters] Everyone is so angry.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: I get it.
- Yusef Massad: No, you don't. People think we are terrorists. Like we are all the same.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Most of us know better.
- Yusef Massad: I don't think so, but this protesting, what do people think will happen? Things will change? No. The world doesn't change. People don't change.
- Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, see, I don't believe that. People uniting, making their voices heard, refusing to be oppressed. That's what this country's all about. I mean, that's why you came here, right?
- Yusef Massad: I came here because I like being alive.
- Olivia Benson: [after Yusef tells the police about witnessing his family's attack at the restaurant] Finally, a lead.
- Odafin Tutuola: If you believe what he's saying.
- Olivia Benson: You don't?
- Odafin Tutuola: The guy hid in a closet and watched his whole family get terrorized and never called his sister?
- Olivia Benson: He was frightened.
- Odafin Tutuola: Then why not say something when it was all over?
- Olivia Benson: One, he's ashamed. Two, he's an undocumented, gay Muslim. In his mind? He reports this crime, he's on the next plane to Syria.
- Olivia Benson: [to Maya and Lela] Listen to me. We are gonna find them and we are gonna prosecute them. We are not giving up on this case.
- Rafael Barba: Other than Yusef putting Hector at the scene, what other evidence do we have?
- Amanda Rollins: No forensics yet.
- Odafin Tutuola: He claims he was home with his wife.
- Olivia Benson: And she's backing him up too.
- Amanda Rollins: In the meantime, we are looking for video around Hector's apartment, going through his phone records, social media looking for anything to blow up his story.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: What about the other two perps?
- Olivia Benson: We're talking to everybody that Hector knows, trying to shake something loose. You ask me, it's just a matter of time. I mean, these are not sophisticated criminals. It does not feel like an organized, anti-Muslim conspiracy here.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: Okay. In the meantime, we need to arraign Hector. Show the Muslim community that we're making some progress.
