Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : The academy is a stressful place. Plenty of pressures here. Especially since one mistake can put a stink on an entire cop career. Like, uh, getting caught fraternizing with another recruit.

  Rachel Decker : Are you gonna have me booted?

  Kate Beckett : No... But I- I need you to be on the up-and-up with me from now on.

• Rachel Decker : I am not his mole. And neither was Danny.

  Kate Beckett : We found the police files that he hacked...

  Kate Beckett : ... and then handed over to Flanagan.

  Rachel Decker : Oh, no. No, no, no. Danny must've made a deal in order to save me.

  Kate Beckett : Save you from what?

  Rachel Decker : The man that knocked up my mother.

  Kate Beckett : You're Flanagan's daughter.

  Rachel Decker : A one-night stand does not make him a parent. It makes him a donor.

  Kate Beckett : You took his blood money.

  Rachel Decker : He and my mother had an arrangement. Staying quiet on my paternity in exchange for monthly payouts to her, and a college fund for me. But that was it.

  Kate Beckett : Then why did Bardot need to save you?

  Rachel Decker : A few weeks ago, Flanagan found out that I'd joined the Academy. He demanded that I be his inside woman, his mole. Threatened to out me as his daughter if I didn't. Ruin my entire career before it even began.

  Kate Beckett : 'Cause no cop will ever trust Lucky Jack's kid.

• Kate Beckett : You are not quitting.

  Rachel Decker : I'm unfit to be a cop, Captain. If you hadn't talked me down back there... I had every intention of pulling that trigger.

  Kate Beckett : But you didn't. You regained your wits. You made the right decision, and that's what counts. There was a point in my career where I wanted to quit. I lost faith that I became a cop for the right reason.

  Rachel Decker : How'd you get your faith back?

  Kate Beckett : A man named Roy Montgomery helped me. He was my captain. He didn't give up on me. And I am not giving up on you.

• Kate Beckett : Hey, how're you holding up?

  Rachel Decker : Well, we caught Danny's killer, but Lucky Jack Flanagan's still free.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, well, his time will come. Stay with the NYPD, and you can help with that... But you can't do this if you go it alone.

• Kate Beckett : Did you train alongside Officer Bardot?

  Rachel Decker : Yes, ma'am.

  Kate Beckett : So you forged a bond with him against the evil Sergeant Ortiz. Which means you have information on Bardot that his higher-ups do not. Is that correct, recruit?

  Rachel Decker : Yes.

  Kate Beckett : So then tell me, what was he struggling with? What did he need to set right?

  Rachel Decker : I don't know. Sorry.

  Sgt. Joseph Ortiz : Way to face-plant in front of a superior, Decker. This is Captain Beckett.

  Rachel Decker : Captain, I...

  Sgt. Joseph Ortiz : You're dismissed, recruit.

  [Decker leaves] 

  Kate Beckett : [quietly to Ortiz]  That was a little harsh, don't you think?

  Sgt. Joseph Ortiz : I do not. Being put in her place is exactly what Decker needs. She's the real deal. Her name could very well be on all your trophies by the time she's done here. But she desperately needs to learn a little humility.
