Quotes 

• [Agent Patterson reveals to the FBI team Jane Doe's next pair of tattoos] 

  Patterson : The lion is on Jane's right calf, and the bull is on the left side of her waist, so I was looking at them separately. But when you put them together and translate the Spanish, you get a Shakespeare quote. 'Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.' Now, take a look at the numbers here. And this is where it gets interesting, because 'sin' is also an abbreviation for sine.

  Edgar Reade : So, it's trigonometry?

  Patterson : Yes! What is the most famous lion in New York City? And I'll give you a hint, It's a tie.

  Tasha Zapata : The statues outside the Public Library.

  Patterson : And what is New York City's most famous bull?

  Bethany Mayfair : The Charging Bull in the Financial District.

  Patterson : Right! We have two points of a triangle, and I think we're supposed to solve the third.

  Edgar Reade : Look, I'm sorry it's your sister, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but I...

  Kurt Weller : Reade, don't.

  Edgar Reade : Kurt, I love her.

  Kurt Weller : [Weller pauses]  This conversation... this is the problem. I can't have your personal life interfering with our work. All right?

  Edgar Reade : A little hypocritical, but okay.

• [Asst. FBI Deputy Director Mayfair congratulates her team for arresting Mr. Tate] 

  Bethany Mayfair : Maxwell Tate is facing charges on over 100 counts, ranging from bribery to sex-trafficking to first-degree sexual assault. He'll spend the rest of his life behind bars.

  Patterson : As will the client who killed Paloma, a two-time state senator.

  Bethany Mayfair : And that's just the beginning. We're going after every last one of his clients.
