• [Roman and Shepherd tell Jane Doe about ORION] 

  Roman : The CIA formed ORION to carry out off-the-book ops.

  Jane Doe : But I thought that's what SEALs were for.

  Shepherd : Orion was for illegal, unsanctioned operations. Assassinations. Regime change. Missions too grisly to go through legitimate channels.

  Roman : When Douglas Winter blew the whistle on the illegal NSA program that was feeding them intel, the CIA shut ORION down. Tried to erase any trace.

  Shepherd : You were the only one that survived. They thought they killed you, too. We chose not to correct them.

  Roman : This plaque is the closest thing ORION has to a memorial. This is what your country thought you were worth.

  Shepherd : [Jane looks down to a memorial plague]  America needs to be saved from itself.

• [Roman asks Shepherd if he can go out and shadow Jane Doe for protection] 

  Roman : Cade's still out there. She just spent three months in a hole. She's too fragile to just...

  Shepherd : If there's one thing your sister is not, it's fragile.

  Roman : I will be invisible, I promise. She protected me my whole life. If I can help...

  Shepherd : Is this about you or her? I won't have you risking this mission. Stay away from her, Roman. Let your sister do her job.

• [Roman asks for Shepherd to activate their source in the FBI] 

  Shepherd : You need to keep your elbows in and your shoulders down. You're wasting energy, and you're telegraphing every hit. She's gonna be fine.

  Roman : What if she isn't? It should be me out there. If I die, what does it matter? If something happens...

  Shepherd : [Shepherd puts her hand to Roman's face]  You're so sweet, Roman. But you can never do what she does.

  Roman : Then activate our source in the FBI.

  Shepherd : No. I won't risk burning our most valuable asset just to quell your anxiety.
