[Agent Patterson and the FBI team watches Jane Doe get hooked up to a lie detector]
Edgar Reade : What are they hooking her up to?
Patterson : An MRI-based coronary lie detector. It monitors even the smallest contractions in the veins, heart, and brain. It's 100% accurate, and it makes a polygraph look like a mood ring.
Tasha Zapata : Then why do we use a polygraph?
Patterson : Because... we're not allowed to inject our subjects with substantial doses of radioactive material.
FBI Director Pellington : It's not exactly legal.
-
[Agent Zapata questions Agent Nas' plan with Jane Doe]
Tasha Zapata : So we're just letting her drive away?
Edgar Reade : Arguably not one of our better plans.
-
[Assistant FBI Director Weller congratulates his agents on their latest counterfeiter bust]
Kurt Weller : Nice work today, you two. What?
Tasha Zapata : Nothing.
Kurt Weller : Something. What?
Edgar Reade : It's just a little anticlimactic, don't you think? We spent an entire week tracking down a counterfeiter.
Kurt Weller : It was a solid bust.
Tasha Zapata : We miss working the tattoos.

[Jane Doe asks Agent Weller to shoot her for their plan to work with getting into Sandstorm]
Kurt Weller : So what was the last thing that she said?
Nas Kamal : Jane, don't answer that.
Jane Doe : She said she wished that she could see your face when you found out what I really was. I'm the reason she's dead, Kurt! So do it!
Tasha Zapata : [as a gunshot is fired into Jane's side by Agent Zapata] It's a clean shot.

[Jane Doe ditches the transmitter Agent Nas plants on her]
Tasha Zapata : We should have tailed her.
Nas Kamal : They would have made us, made her. Don't worry, she's equipped with one of the best trackers we have. Sound, GPS. Battery lasts...
Patterson : She just ditched it.
Nas Kamal : She what?
Patterson : Well, either that, or she's currently laying down in the middle of the Pulaski Bridge.
Edgar Reade : I'm gonna say she ditched it.

[the FBI agents ask Assistant FBI Director Weller what he believes in]
Kurt Weller : I'm not gonna make any of you do anything that you don't believe in.
Patterson : So, you believe in it? You believe in her?
Kurt Weller : I believe this Sandstorm group that Jane was a part of needs to be stopped.
Edgar Reade : Was? How can you be so sure?
Kurt Weller : I can't be. Not 100%. No matter what that machine says. But I am sure that Jane didn't do this alone. I want to get the people that did this to us. Did this to Mayfair. If that means that I have to swallow my feelings about Jane for a while... so be it.
Edgar Reade : I'm in. For Mayfair.
Patterson : For Mayfair.
Tasha Zapata : For Mayfair.

[Agent Patterson tells Agent Nas that they need her help with the encrypted fragments]
Patterson : A lot of the ORION files are still encrypted.
Tasha Zapata : Like this one. Pixel fragments. It's like trying to fit together a million jigsaw pieces that are all the same shape.
Patterson : I've been trying to write a program that'll sort, analyze, and reassemble everything, pixel by pixel, but it... Whatever. It's a little involved. Our binary system here is having some problems with the raw data.
Nas Kamal : So...
Patterson : So... I was kind of sort of hoping that you could give us access to the NSA's quantum computer farm.
Nas Kamal : Our quantum server farm doesn't technically exist.
Patterson : [Patterson chuckles] Well, heh, right. But, technically, neither do you.

[Agent Zapata and Agent Reade discuss on how Jane Doe is a pawn]
Tasha Zapata : Mayfair's dead because of her. I wouldn't give her too much credit.
Edgar Reade : What do you mean?
Tasha Zapata : She lied to us, she's...
Edgar Reade : She's a pawn. She was a pawn for Sandstorm, now she's a pawn for us. Pawns get sacrificed. I almost feel sorry for her.
Tasha Zapata : [Zapata gives Reade the look] Uh, be easy. I said 'almost.'
