Thursdays 9:00 PM on NBCFavorite Law & Order: SVU Quotes
Chris: I can't be sure, but she didn't say no.
Barba: She didn't say no or you didn't hear it?
Woman: I was helpless in my own restaurant and my daughters... after they left, I broke free. I saw Shanta was dead.
Benson: I'm so sorry. Do you need to take a break? Maybe drink some water?
Woman: One of the men, they whispered.
Benson: That's helpful to know. Do you remember what they whispered?
[Doctor enters]
Doctor: Excuse me. I need to speak to Mrs. Samra.
Mrs. Samra: Is it my daughter? Is she -
Doctor: No, she's going to be fine. But it's your husband.
Maya: Yusef is my brother. But Lela is mistaken. He use to have a key but when he stopped working for us a month ago -
Lela: We need to find out what happened.
Maya: I will do the talking for this family.
Finn: On your knees! Hands behind your head. You speak English? Hands behind your head.
[Yusef obeys]
Benson: You Yusef Massad?
Yusef: Yes.
Benson: We need to talk to you about what happened at your sister's restaurant.
Yusef: I don't know anything about that.
Finn: Then why you running?
Yusef: Because. I am afraid.
Finn: Afraid of what?
Yusef: Of getting deported. I... I am here illegally, I don't have documentation. And I am gay. Please, if I am sent to a refugee camp they will kill me.
Benson: Finally, a lead.
Fin: If you believe him.
Benson: You don't?
Fin: He hid in a closet and watched his whole family get terrorized. Why didn't he do anything?
Benson: One, he was ashamed. And two, he's undocumented and he's a gay Muslim. In his mind, if he came forward, he's on the next plane back to Syria.
Rollins: Where is Hector?
Woman: I don't know.
Rollins: When was the last time you talked to him?
Woman: I don't know.
Rollins: We think he's involved in something very serious. Now you can either tell us here or we can take you down to the station and you can tell us there.
Woman: The station? I can't leave my kids.
Rollins: Oh, don't you worry about that. We'll call social services and they'll take good care of them.
Woman: Social services?
Rollins: I'm just telling you like it is. Now where is Hector?
Woman: He's working at a restaurant on 125th.
Dodds: Someone from the bust must have tipped her off.
Benson: All these immigration lawyers are popping up lately.
Dodds: With all these raids, and rumored to be raids, can you blame them?
Benson: It's actually a good thing. It protects us down the road, when we get to court.
I was humiliated. Too afraid to tell anyone.
Abby
Seigler: What are you doing talking to my client?
Benson: He is a victim in a crime. He was talking to me about what he was doing in that bar, nothing more.
Seigler: He's done talking. No more questions.
Benson: That's your choice.
Fin: And it's a stupid one.
Seigler: I have a client to defend.
Fin: We have a witness who ID'd him out of a lineup -
Seigler: Who is now in a refugee camp in Turkey.
Benson: That doesn't make his ID invalid.
Seigler: I'm going to talk to my client. Or are you going to arrest him for having been held hostage?
How many more innocent Muslims have to die before the NYPD does its job?
Protester
Barba: What about the wife. She's illegal, right? Let's call ICE.
Carisi: Excuse me? We're gonna help ICE now to deport a woman with two little kids?
Barba: I dunno, but we're damn sure gonna threaten it.
Carisi: I thought New York was a sanctuary city!
Barba: Don't give me that. This is someone who stood there and did nothing while his friends raped and killed two people. I'm sorry, but my sympathy is with Lela and Mala Samra, not with Soledad Ramirez.
Benson: He's right. I'm not a showboat for the Feds and I don't give a damn about anyone's immigration status, but we have to do whatever we can in this case.
Fin: Were you really gonna go through with it? Let ICE come pick her up?
Benson: She just boxed Hector Ramirez into a corner, so he has no choice but to cooperate. Go pick him up.
