Quotes 

• [NSA agent Nas Kamal informs the FBI about Sandstorm] 

  Nas Kamal : About six years ago, I started to connect a number of seemingly random terror events. The Kentucky State Building attack, DC subway bombing, shooting at O'Hare.

  FBI Director Pellington : Those were all lone wolves.

  Nas Kamal : No, they were just designed to look like that. We believe that a single group is responsible for over a dozen domestic terror attacks in total. I've given them the code name 'Sandstorm.' We cultivated an asset within the organization, and they managed to get word to us alluding to an impending incident in Times Square. We believe that Jane was a key member of Sandstorm sent to you as a Trojan horse, and we've been monitoring the situation ever since. The only reason we're telling you now is because we need your help to get to Jane before the CIA does.

• [NSA Agent Nas Kamal introduces herself to Jane Doe] 

  Nas Kamal : I need you to be completely honest with me. That's the only way that this is going to work.

  Jane Doe : What makes you think I'll tell you anything?

  Nas Kamal : You managed to escape, unaided, from a CIA black site in Oregon two weeks ago. I think it's fair to categorize you as resourceful. You could be halfway around the world right now, but instead, you chose to hide in Camden, New Jersey, two hours away from here. You didn't run 'cause you're not finished. You want to find them. Well, so do I. It'll be nearly impossible to keep the CIA from finding out that we've recaptured you. And if they do take you back into custody... they'll keep you somewhere that you will never break out of. Give me a reason to hold them off. You work with us, earn your freedom. Help us bring down the people who put you here.

• [Agent Nas questions Jane Doe on what happened to Assistant Director Mayfair and Oscar] 

  Nas Kamal : Where is Assistant Director Mayfair right now? Jane?

  Jane Doe : [Jane shudders]  She's dead. She found us, but I don't know how. But she... And then Oscar killed her. He promised me no one would get hurt, and then he killed her.

  Nas Kamal : Where's Oscar now?

  Jane Doe : He's dead. I tracked him down, I wan... I wanted to bring him in to put an end to all of this. But he attacked me, so I killed him. Uhh! I killed him!

• [Agent Nas tells Agent Weller that Jane Doe loves him] 

  Nas Kamal : Look... They made a mistake... when they killed Mayfair in front of her. She wants to bring them down, and... she's already killed her fiancé. She loved Mayfair. And she loved you.

  Kurt Weller : She's got a very funny way of showing it.

• [Agent Nas tells Agent Weller that they need Jane Doe to take-down Sandstorm] 

  Nas Kamal : You know, when... when I was a little girl, my father and I, we got caught up in a storm. Just west of the River Indus. We couldn't see, couldn't breathe. We just... clung to each other, praying for it to end. It's the most frightened I've ever been. Until now. These people, they give me that same feeling. They scare me just... just like that sandstorm.

  Kurt Weller : [about Jane]  How can you expect us to work with her? After everything that she's done.

  Nas Kamal : 'Cause Jane's the first real lead we've had in years. The safety and security of this entire nation hangs in the balance. You want vengeance for Mayfair? Then you want Sandstorm.

• [Agent Nas tells the FBI team that no plan is certain to work for Jane Doe] 

  Nas Kamal : What do you want me to say? That all of this is completely devoid of risk? We're sending her undercover to possibly the most dangerous organization in the world. Can things go wrong? Absolutely.

  Patterson : I feel like you don't give a lot of pep talks.

  Nas Kamal : What do you think, Jane?

  Jane Doe : Who's driving?

• [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.

• [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 Nas asks Agent Weller what the M7G677 image file is] 

  Nas Kamal : Look, what's in M7G677?

  Kurt Weller : A black hole.

  Nas Kamal : In what sense?

  Edgar Reade : [Reade opens the file of a black hole]  In the literal sense. It's an image file of a black hole.
