• 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.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : So, we're looking for a ghost?

  Odafin Tutuola : Ghost with size 10 shoe

• 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.

• 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.
