Quotes 

• Ava James : Mailman saw blood through the window, and called . Looks an awful lot like what happened to that trucker and his wife. That's why we called you.

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Because she's taped to the chair?

  Ava James : And the teacup.

  Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : [looks at teacup]  They cut her tongue out.

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : What do you know about this woman?

  Ava James : Not much. Mailman says she's always home.

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Anything stolen?

  Ava James : Not that we can find. I reached out to her son. He said it's unlikely she had a lot of cash in the house.

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Hey, guys. What's up?

  Special Agent Hana Gibson : Mary Strong is a retired human resources consultant. She's a widow and a grandmother. Her son is a dentist in D.C., and she's active in church.

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : That's interesting. She's had her tongue cut out. Anything to indicate she's been involved with mafia-controlled trucking?

  Special Agent Ivan Ortiz : Those tactics though. Cut-out tongue means don't talk.

• Lorrie Hammond : My God, Greg's never even been in a bar fight. Wyatt's a sweetheart. You're telling me they murder people?

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Yes. Did they give you any indication they were angry, or out to settle a score?

  Lorrie Hammond : Our daughter, Rose, died three months ago. Cancer.

  Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : I'm sorry.

  Lorrie Hammond : We were involved in a big lawsuit over Rose's cancer, so, yes, Greg's been angry, talking about getting justice, but we were doing it the right way, in the courts.

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : What kind of lawsuit?

  Lorrie Hammond : We have a power plant here, and the owner, Griffin, was dumping coal ash illegally for years. Half the town got cancer... Our daughter, Greg's parents. Greg drove trucks for Griffin Coal and Power, and he blew the whistle. A group of us sued. Three years in the courts. We lost our final appeal last week.

  Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : So you thought he was going away to grieve?

  Lorrie Hammond : I hoped. He's been so focused on the lawsuit. Greg loves Thoreau, that book, "Walden," and he says when the civilized world is a nightmare, go to the woods.

  Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : Did Greg's brother, Wyatt, work for Griffin Coal and Power as well?

  Lorrie Hammond : No, mm-mm, he worked at Baron's. It's a farm supply store.

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : [shows Teddy and Janice's photographs]  Do you recognize these two?

  Lorrie Hammond : It's Teddy and Janice. Teddy was Greg's boss at Griffin.

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : [shows Mary Strong's photograph]  What about this woman?

  Lorrie Hammond : I don't know her name. She baked pies at the company barbecue.

• Special Agent Hana Gibson : Mary Strong worked in human resources at Griffin Coal and Power before she retired.

  Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix : Okay, if we think about the chain of command for a workplace complaint, you go to your immediate boss. In this case: Teddy. And if that doesn't work out, then you go higher.

  Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : Human resources. Teddy didn't listen, hence the ears. Maybe Mary told Greg to keep his mouth shut.
