Quotes 

• Phil Coopers : [assuring Kate]  Advisors like Matt come in, they stir the pot, they cause the criminals to react and make mistakes. That's how we build cases against the individuals that actually make a difference in this fight. It's when they're nervous, when they stop trusting their crews, when they move their money. These are all opportunities to strike. And that's the purpose of people like Matt.

  Dave Jennings : Kate, this isn't something that I dreamed up myself. I don't have the authority to hire advisors, or authorize joint agency missions, or fly agents from Air Force bases. Are you understanding me? These decisions are made far from here, by officials elected to office, not appointed to them. So, if your fear is operating out of bounds, I am telling you, you are not. The boundary's been moved.

• 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.

• Dave Jennings : Kate, you must volunteer for an inter-agency task force. Think very hard before you respond. You wanna be a part of this?

  Kate Macer : Do we get an opportunity at the men responsible for today?

  Matt : The men who were really responsible for today, yeah.

  Kate Macer : I'll volunteer.

• 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.

• Dave Jennings : [during a raid, dead bodies were discovered in the walls of a house]  This one of the houses owned by Manuel Diaz?

  Kate Macer : No way to connect him, but he owns it.

  Dave Jennings : Jesus Christ.
