Quotes 

  • Patricia Campbell : I have a mission brief coming through for you on a secure channel. I need your team wheels up within the hour.

    Adam Dalton : Okay.

    Patricia Campbell : It's a personnel recovery of one Dr. Kimberly Wells, kidnapped by a group of unknown hostiles outside of Damascus three hours ago. We have a lead on a driver, but otherwise it's like she's vanished into thin air. We've got no other HUMINT or SIGINT, and not for lack of trying. I don't have to give you a primer on the politics of this one. You'll be going into a non-permissive environment in a state of civil war. And into a city where half the population will shoot you on sight if they figure out who you are. There'll be no support on this one. No cavalry.

    Adam Dalton : Right. We are the cavalry.

  • Adam Dalton : [startled by Jaz]  Damn it, Jaz. You're like a ninja, you know that?

    Jasmine 'Jaz' Khan : Yeah. So should you by now.

  • Joseph 'McG' McGuire : Man, I appreciate the effort, but when are these bleeding hearts gonna learn that it's just too dangerous to try and help people over here, man?

    Ezekiel 'Preach' Carter : God gave us two hands for a reason, my brother. One to help ourselves and one to help lift others.

    Joseph 'McG' McGuire : Thank you, Preach.

    Jasmine 'Jaz' Khan : [holding her rifle]  I got better uses for mine.

    Ezekiel 'Preach' Carter : Oh, now.

    Amir Al-Raisani : Were you raised Muslim, Jaz?

    Jasmine 'Jaz' Khan : I was raised a New Yorker.

    Joseph 'McG' McGuire : Whoops.

    Adam Dalton : Guy we lost, guy you replaced, was her best friend.

  • Adam Dalton : All right, Preach, got any movement in that apartment?

    Ezekiel 'Preach' Carter : Walls are pretty thick, so the signal's not very strong. There's definitely multiple voices, though.

  • Ezekiel 'Preach' Carter : I got multiple shots. Nine mil. Double taps. Whoever this guy is, he's a pro.

    Amir Al-Raisani : He's coming out.

    Patricia Campbell : Whoever that guy is, he's our only chance of finding Wells.

    Adam Dalton : Jaz, let him walk.

    Jasmine 'Jaz' Khan : He's coming down.

    Amir Al-Raisani : He killed 'em all. Driver, wife, and son.

    Patricia Campbell : See if you can get a good image for facial recognition.

    Adam Dalton : Nah, you don't need it.

    Patricia Campbell : Why's that?

    Adam Dalton : You don't need it. That's Abu Al-Akmuti, Baghdadi's top lieutenant. We follow him, he takes us to Wells.

  • Adam Dalton : I understand Amir is new, but he spent three years undercover with ISIS. I vetted him. I trust him. If he tells me it's gonna work, it's gonna work.

    Noah Morgenthau : It's risky.

    Hannah Rivera : Of course it is. Look, the analyst running my op was at the top of his game. It did not change the fact that his mistake got me carved up and left for dead.

    Adam Dalton : Okay, so then what's the alternative? We take him to a CIA safe house? It's gonna take them a week to break him. That's time that we don't have. The only way Akmuti gives up Wells' location is if he doesn't know he's doing it.

  • Adam Dalton : All right, if Akmuti gives up Wells' location, I want you to take him out. Look, if I'm giving you a shot, it's because I know you can make it.

    Jasmine 'Jaz' Khan : I know. You're the only CO I've ever had who looks at me and doesn't see a woman first.

    Adam Dalton : Well, I may not see it, but... I don't forget it. Because I know that getting here was harder for you than I'll ever understand.

  • Noah Morgenthau : Get an eye on the compound?

    Patricia Campbell : Charlie, zoom in.

    Noah Morgenthau : [noticing something]  What is that?

    Patricia Campbell : That's a convoy. They're moving her.

    Noah Morgenthau : Dalton, they're headed east in quadrant one into quadrant two.

    Adam Dalton : Yeah, we're on 'em. Any guess where they're going?

    Hannah Rivera : Convoy's still moving east.

    Noah Morgenthau : And heading deeper into Al-Nusrah controlled territory every minute.

  • Patricia Campbell : Dalton, what about an ambush on the run?

    Adam Dalton : Three armored trucks in the middle of the city?

    Patricia Campbell : They could be driving her to her death.

    Adam Dalton : Well, trying an ambush is only gonna speed that up. All right, hold on, hold on, hold on. Pulling off the main road.

    Noah Morgenthau : No, no, he's right. Convoy's slowing down. They're turning into these gates. Looks like they're heading for this large structure. Anybody want to explain to me why the ANF just drove their only hostage into a city hospital?

    Patricia Campbell : Get me an ID on everybody with her.

    Adam Dalton : Preach, get video.

    Ezekiel 'Preach' Carter : Sending.

    Adam Dalton : Anybody else get the idea she's on a one-way trip?

  • Adam Dalton : Amir, Jaz, I want you two to couple up. You should have no problem getting inside. McGuire, I want you to maintain a line of sight to this entrance. Preach, I'm gonna need you to grab their air.

    Jasmine 'Jaz' Khan : What are you gonna do?

    Adam Dalton : Wing it.

  • Jasmine 'Jaz' Khan : All right, we counted four roving patrols, and there's sentries at each entrance; two tangos on the third floor outside the O.R.

    Adam Dalton : So they're using Wells to operate on Baghdadi

    Amir Al-Raisani : Which means they'll kill her as soon as she's served her purpose.

    Jasmine 'Jaz' Khan : What does D.C. want us to do?

    Adam Dalton : They've gone quiet.

  • Adam Dalton : All right, officially, we have been re-tasked to get Baghdadi. But Director Campbell's given us some latitude as to how we do that. We're outmanned. We're outgunned. And even if we could get into that O.R., we can't fire a shot 'cause we're stuck inside of a damn hospital. We got one thing going for us. That's that she doesn't know who we are. All right, I got a plan. It's risky, but as far as I'm concerned, we didn't come this far to leave Kimberly Wells behind.

  • Adam Dalton : [in Arabic]  You took an American. I want her back.

    Amara Baghdadi : [in English]  I don't know who you're talking about.

    Adam Dalton : [switching to English]  Dr. Kimberly Wells. You're using her, probably to patch up a few of your guys. I don't care. Free surgeries are over.

    Amara Baghdadi : Who are you?

    Adam Dalton : I'm the guy getting paid to bring her back in one piece. Now, I suggest you make it your business to help me with my business.

    [taking Amara's walkie-talkie] 

    Adam Dalton : Go ahead. Try your radio. I got your comms immobilized and the rest of your roving patrols look like these two crash test dummies right here. Jaz?

    [Jaz enters with her gun trained on Amara] 

    Adam Dalton : Either you send out my girl, my team and I, we go away quietly. Or you don't, in which case we put you down, and we go into that O.R., we make a real mess. It's your call.

    [Amara is indecisive] 

    Adam Dalton : Come on. Neither of us want to lose our people over this, do we?

  • Adam Dalton : Dr. Wells, I'm with the American government. We're here to take you home. Do you understand? Kimberly, do you understand? Every hostile that's seen your face has either been eliminated or is back in that operating room, which means that you and I can walk out of here without anyone stopping us. Can we do that?

    [she nods] 

    Adam Dalton : Okay. Let's go.

  • Patricia Campbell : That was a pretty soft goal there, Adam.

    Adam Dalton : You wouldn't be wasting valuable drone time spying on your operators now, would you?

    Patricia Campbell : Well, it turns out the mood up the food chain is pretty good right now, so I thought I had a little latitude. Funny how that worked out, huh? Turns out the best way to get Baghdadi just so happens to require you to save Wells.

    Adam Dalton : It's funny how that happens, huh? Well, I'm not complaining.

    Patricia Campbell : No, neither am I. Adam, please tell your team good job for me.

    Adam Dalton : All right, will do. Same to yours.

    Patricia Campbell : Thanks.

    Adam Dalton : Hey, Patricia, it's good to have you back.

  • Adam Dalton : I know this isn't where we wanted to be, but we had no choice.
