[Agent Naz tells the FBI team that the DEA sells weapons to the Mexican cartel]
Kurt Weller : How does a Mexican cartel steal weapons from the New York DEA?
Nas Kamal : They don't. The DEA sold them.
Jane Doe : What?
Patterson : That was through the gun-waltzing program? Why couldn't I find that?
Nas Kamal : 'Cause you don't work for the NSA.
-
[Agent Weller tells Jane Doe what gun-waltzing is]
Jane Doe : What is gun-waltzing?
Kurt Weller : It's a bad idea. It puts these weapons back on the streets through agents posing as arms dealers.
Nas Kamal : Then trace the weapons back to the big players for big busts.
Kurt Weller : Only sometimes, they lose them.

[Agent Reade asks Agent Patterson where Valentine Barker is?]
Edgar Reade : Where's Valentine now?
Patterson : DEA doesn't know where Valentine or the weapons are.

Patterson : For real? Why don't I have access to that?

[Agent Naz tells Jane Doe to give the FBI time for them to trust her again]
Nas Kamal : Look, everything they knew about you is a lie. You've got to give them time to forgive you.
Jane Doe : They handed me over to the CIA to be tortured and interrogated without charge or trial. As far as I can tell, this country runs on lies.
Nas Kamal : Look, I understand that you're angry...
Jane Doe : No, you have no idea what it feels like to be looked at with hatred and suspicion at every...
Nas Kamal : I'm a Pakistani-born woman who's busted my ass climbing to the top of the National Security Agency. You think I haven't dealt with my share of aggression and mistrust?

[Agent Naz tells the FBI team that they need to find Kingston as Agent Patterson gets snappy]
Nas Kamal : Look, we can't worry about that right now. Kingston's about to sell the Juarez Cartel enough firepower to start a war. We need to find him and fast.
Patterson : Can't you just use your magic phone?
Nas Kamal : Excuse me?
Patterson : Oh, does it stop working if they ditch their plates?
Kurt Weller : Patterson... stop it.
-
[Agent Naz asks for Jane Doe to trust her]
Nas Kamal : Jane, I know that this isn't easy for you, but you have everything to gain by seeing this through.
Jane Doe : And everything to lose if I don't.
Nas Kamal : Well, believe it or not, I am on your side. You don't have to like me, but... you can trust me. I promise.

[Jane Doe and the FBI team stop the missiles from shooting down a plane]
Edgar Reade : Holy hell.
Nas Kamal : [Naz sighs] We actually did it.

Nas Kamal : Nice work out there.
Kurt Weller : See what happens when you stay out of my way?
[as the two smile]

[Agent Naz and the team agree to continue following Jane's tattoos]
Nas Kamal : The intel on Jane's body seems to have come from a number of sources from within the public and private sector. We've ID'd a few of them already.
Kurt Weller : So, we keep following these tattoos until we track down the rest of the sources. Then we'll swoop in. Hopefully take down all of Sandstorm's people in one hit.
Nas Kamal : That's a bit of an oversimplification, but, yes, we are making progress.
Kurt Weller : [Weller gasps] See you guys tomorrow.

[Agent Naz asks Jane Doe if she still thinks they're the bad guys]
Nas Kamal : You still wondering who the good guys are? Look, it's true. Sandstorm helped us prevent a major disaster today. But every action that we take here creates massive ripples across the globe. Airline stocks plummeted. The gun-waltzing scandal put a chill on U.S.-Mexican relations. The Juarez cartel has been weakened, which strengthens its competitors. We have no idea why Sandstorm wanted us to do this today.
Jane Doe : So we can't see the complete picture yet.
Nas Kamal : Because your family doesn't want us to. Ask yourself why that is.
