• Carrie Mathison : He was tortured, okay? He finally admitted I was the target, but was too scared to say who hired him.

  Jonas Hollander : I don't understand. How does... How does that make him reliable?

  Carrie Mathison : He had two secrets - one he could tell, one he was willing to die for.

  Jonas Hollander : And did he? Die?

  Carrie Mathison : Yeah, he was executed. He was shot in the face point-blank. That's what makes me believe him.

  Jonas Hollander : Jesus.

  Carrie Mathison : You wanted to know.

• Carrie Mathison : The point is that the meds have saved my life. Literally. But something is lost, too. The elation. It's more than that. There's this... this window, when you've got all that crazy energy but you're still lucid, you're still making sense. And that's always when I did my best work. I took down a major insurgent network in Iraq. I stopped an attack on the State Department in D.C.

  Jonas Hollander : You want to go off your meds now? Is that what you're saying? To figure this out?

  Carrie Mathison : No.

  Jonas Hollander : No?

  Carrie Mathison : I've already gone off them. Three days ago.

• Jonas Hollander : Tell me there is not another way to do this.

  Carrie Mathison : I'm sure there is, just... not for me.
