Kevin Wiggins: Burnett

Quotes 

• Dave Jennings : She's been leading our kidnap response team for three years. We put her through the grinder since she got here, and she hasn't blinked. She's in the front line. Nobody's gonna be happier than Kate to see these guys go down.

  Burnett : So, she's a thumper.

  Dave Jennings : Today was her fifth O.I.S.

  Matt : Five and 0, not bad for a rookie. She never worked cases?

  Dave Jennings : Been kicking doors since day one.

  Matt : I like her already. What about the partner? He seen any action?

  Phil Coopers : He's only been with us 18 months.

  Matt : What's his background?

  Dave Jennings : He's a sharp kid. ROTC scholarship to Maryland, did a tour in Iraq, got his law degree from UNC. He's green, but he's good.

  Matt : No lawyers on this train. Just give me the girl.

• Burnett : How familiar are you with Manuel Diaz's operation?

  Kate Macer : His company, Sun Oasis, has 80 or so foreclosure properties. He has other legitimate businesses. Um... but he's rumored to be linked with one of the Mexican cartels.

  Burnett : Manuel Diaz works for the Sonora Cartel. He's most likely their senior member in the United States.

  Matt : What do you know about his brother?

  Kate Macer : I wasn't aware he had one.

  Matt : Guillermo. His brother's name is Guillermo. Do you know anything about his cousin?

  Kate Macer : I didn't know he had one of those, either. None of that is in his file.

  Burnett : His cousin is Fausto Alarcon.

  Kate Macer : I don't know who that is.

  Matt : No one does. He's off the grid.

  Burnett : He's number three in the Sonora Cartel.

  Kate Macer : This is not my department, sir. This is...

  Burnett : Like I said, Agent Macer doesn't work narcotics. She runs a kidnap response team.

  Matt : Are you married?

  Kate Macer : Am I married?

  Matt : Do you have a husband?

  Kate Macer : Divorced.

  Matt : Kids?

  Kate Macer : No. Anything else?

  Phil Coopers : No. Thanks, Kate. If you could wait outside, please.

• Dave Jennings : DOJ wants advisors that focus on cartels involved in pursuing Mr. Diaz. This is Matt Graver. He'll be leading the team.

  Kate Macer : Isn't this Phoenix Homicide now?

  Matt : No, we're expanding the scope of the investigation a bit.

  Phil Coopers : You'll act as a liaison.

  Kate Macer : What does that mean?

  Dave Jennings : They need an agent with tactical experience, like you.

  Burnett : State Department is pulling an agent from the field that specializes in responding to escalated cartel activity. You'll be part of the team. You'll meet up with them at Luke, uh, tomorrow?

  Matt : Day after. Early.

  Kate Macer : Air Force Base?

  Matt : Yeah, we're gonna go see Guillermo.

  Kate Macer : Diaz's brother?

  Matt : That's the one.
