Quotes 

• John Reese : I just want to say thank you. I couldn't have got through this without a friend to talk to.

  Detective Joss Carter : So was any of it true?

  Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : [Appears behind them]  Oh, I sincerely doubt that. Congratulations, Carter. You just caught the man in a suit. Drop your gun. Hands in the air. It's over, John. Got your bracelets, Carter? Put them on your friend here. See? I told you we'd catch him. But I'm afraid that's the last collar you'll ever make. I trusted you, Carter, and you threw it away along with a very promising career.

  John Reese : [to Carter]  I'm sorry. It was my fault.

  Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : Actually, John, it's not. This little game you two have been playing, you didn't give it away. She did.

• Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : Is the earpiece not working?

  Detective Joss Carter : I'm building rapport. That's how you get good intel. Would you rather I waterboarded him?

• Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : Everything he's said checks out.

  Detective Joss Carter : So you think we might be digging in the wrong spot?

  Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : No. To catch this man, Carter, I'd dig all the way to China.

• Detective Joss Carter : No backup? You're going it alone, huh?

  Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : Well, Carter, I don't know who to trust anymore. When the man in a suit - when John here slipped away the first time, I knew he had a mole, somebody on the inside. And then when his fingerprints went missing and his DNA got switched, I was forced to consider it might be you. And I'll admit, you played a pretty good game until I put him in the yard alone. And that's when I saw it in your eyes. Genuine concern. How did he turn you, Carter? What was your price?

  Detective Joss Carter : No price. Just helping a friend.

  Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : Then you've been played for a fool. Recruited as an asset by a private intelligence...

  Detective Joss Carter : You don't understand, Donnelly, he's a good man. We're helping people.

  Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : Oh, God. Is that what he told you? Wake up, Carter. Your friend is nothing more or less than a highly trained murderer. You don't wind up with that job by accident. He chose that life. He chose to become the monster he is. And now you've made your choice too.

• Detective Joss Carter : What the hell happened to you? You used to be good police. Ever since this thing started, you've been bending the rules

  Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : I believe that this country is under attack by an invisible enemy.

  Detective Joss Carter : This is not right, Donnelly. You are over the line!

  Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly : I will do whatever I have to do.
