Saleh Amir : [to Stabler and Olivia] I told you to leave us alone!
Olivia Benson : Sir, your daughter passed away and you don't even care.
Aziza Amir : Saleh?
Saleh Amir : Go now.
Elliot Stabler : Where's your son?
Saleh Amir : Get out.
Elliot Stabler : We know Nafeesa was here the night of the attack. Doorman saw her come in. Nobody saw her leave.
Olivia Benson : Because your son took her out through the garage and dumped her in the park. Were you watching when he put the knife through her heart?

Aziza Amir : She was your daughter!

Aziza Amir : [testifying in court] Nafeesa came home to be with us. My husband asked her if she was still a virgin...
[Aziza's face is uncovered as she testifies]
Aziza Amir : ... She wasn't.
Alexandra Cabot : What did he do?
Aziza Amir : Hit her. She fell. When Jaleel tried to help her, my husband said, "Let her lie there like she lies with her American boyfriend."
Alexandra Cabot : What happened next?
Aziza Amir : My husband got a knife from the kitchen. Jaleel, he begged him not to. But my husband told Jaleel to kill her... for our honor...
[Aziza's voice shakes]
Aziza Amir : ... kill her... to prove his manhood. And... he... stabbed her.
[cries]
Aziza Amir : And... they took her away.
[Jaleel shakes and holds back tears]

Aziza Amir : [inside the apartment, holding back tears] I have already lost Nafeesa. I don't want to lose Jaleel, too.
Olivia Benson : But Nafeesa hasn't lost her honor. Have you lost yours?
Aziza Amir : You don't understand.
Olivia Benson : I think we do. Nafeesa was your husband's ticket home. He promised her to a Taliban, didn't he?
Elliot Stabler : And when he found out she was sleeping with somebody else, he had Jaleel kill her in the name of honor.
Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : We can offer protection to you.
Aziza Amir : [crying] I don't want your protection. I want my daughter.
