Quotes 

• Eliot Delson : This isn't over. I'm gonna find out who authorized this big-footing of my case.

  Agent Frank Simms : If you have any questions, Eliot, you can call my boss.

  Carrie Wells : [quietly to Al]  Oh, he's gonna play the POTUS card.

  Agent Frank Simms : The President of the United States of America. You want his cell number? I got it.

• Agent Frank Simms : Okay, how'd you know that security camera was hidden behind a Balinese puppet?

  Carrie Wells : Well, it seemed like the best angle, and that's where I would've put it.

  Agent Frank Simms : [sardonic chuckle]  You're something.

  Carrie Wells : You've known me for six hours and 42 minutes, and you're just now figuring that out?

• Eliot Delson : I'm kicking the Evan Rusk investigation to the 17th squad.

  Carrie Wells : No, you're not.

  Al Burns : Jay's one of us, Eliot.

  Eliot Delson : Yes, and I'll make sure the case is at the top of of the 17th's priority list, but Evan ended up in a hotel room with a prostitute and was murdered. That's for the homicide division, not...

  Carrie Wells : Okay, Eliot, u-use your imagination here. All right? E-Evan's keys, his lanyard, his trucking ID, all stolen. His truck might be missing, and hijacking across state lines is a major crime.

  Eliot Delson : The issue with a truck hijacking is that you need an actual hijacking. So where is this truck?

  Agent Frank Simms : [entering]  I have it, Eliot.

  Eliot Delson : You are a long way from Washington, Francis.

  Agent Frank Simms : Well, you know, sometimes my work brings me to America's second most important city.

• Agent Frank Simms : I'm taking over Evan Rusk's murder investigation.

  Carrie Wells : [simultaneously with Al]  On what grounds?

  Al Burns : Secret Service? It's a local crime.

  Agent Frank Simms : Well, Rusk's murder is part of an ongoing counterfeiting investigation.

  Carrie Wells : [pointedly to Eliot]  Ha! You see? Major crime. Thank you, Francis.

  Agent Frank Simms : Frank is fine. You can call me Frank.

• Agent Frank Simms : Okay, well, Evan Rusk transported a pallet of currency-grade paper used exclusively to produce the new $100 bill. There's not only one but three "holy grails" of counterfeiting the new hundred. The first one...

  Carrie Wells : Currency-grade paper with an embedded holographic strip. The second is magnetic ink that registers on the Federal Reserve Bank counting machine. And the third is valid serial numbers from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. I read your Homeland Security memo entitled "The New Hundred Anticouterfeiting Measures."

  Agent Frank Simms : Well, it's nice to know someone doesn't only read our memos, but remembers them. I'm impressed.

  Al Burns : Don't be; it's genetic. She was born with a freaky memory.

• Agent Frank Simms : Well, there's only one way into the cargo area of the truck without using explosives.

  Carrie Wells : The driver's swipe ID. Evan's missing lanyard.

  Al Burns : Show-off.

  Agent Frank Simms : Right again. And no one has ever stolen even one sheet of U.S. currency paper.

  Carrie Wells : Until today.

• Agent Frank Simms : Here's another truck hijacking.

  Al Burns : Same M.O. as Evan's murder. Hotel killing.

  Carrie Wells : You know, based on these photos, and the fact that you're here with your panties in a twist, I'd say the magnetic ink is also missing, am I right?

  Al Burns : Someone's acquiring your holy grails. What about the valid serial numbers?

  Agent Frank Simms : That, I'm afraid, is on a need-to-know basis.

  Carrie Wells : Oh, he did not just...

  Al Burns : Oh, yes, he did.

• Agent Frank Simms : The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has confirmed no breach of serial numbers. I have now fulfilled the Homeland Security mandate for interdepartmental cooperation.

  Carrie Wells : Well, I guess you don't wanna hear about our Indonesian connection?

  Agent Frank Simms : You found some link to Indonesia?

  Carrie Wells : I mean, I could talk to you about the Indonesian link, but you have to include Major Crimes in your investigation. That way we can all accomplish what we want here.

  Agent Frank Simms : Can I have my hundred first?

  Carrie Wells : You, my friend, are having a very difficult time keeping track of U.S. currency today.

• Agent Frank Simms : The crew I'm after...

  Al Burns : Crew *we're* after.

  Agent Frank Simms : Jenny Shaw, graphic designer, likely the papermaker. Kristen Green, the engraver. Olivia Waring, the electroplater. And finally, Sophie Dietrich, the intaglio printer. All art school grads. All went off the grid about four months ago.

  Al Burns : Really? This is your team of countefeiters? They don't look like killers.

  Agent Frank Simms : Well, your pretty partner doesn't look like a cop. Hey, what's her deal, by the way?

  Al Burns : Let's get back to the case. What is the connection between these hot girls?

  Agent Frank Simms : They met on the dark net. We think their hotness isn't a coincidence. We believe they're seducing men like Evan in order to gain access to the materials needed to manufacture counterfeit bills. That's why, uh, we've given the operation the code name "Mata Hari."

• Al Burns : Why would four women with no previous criminal records all decide to start forging the most difficult U.S. currency to counterfeit?

  Agent Frank Simms : That stolen pallet of currency-grade paper is worth $72 million. Is that enough "why", Lieutenant?

• Carrie Wells : You're wearing a new tie.

  Agent Frank Simms : Well, yes, I have a fresh one. Doesn't everyone?

  Al Burns : [handing him the takeout bag]  Have some balls.

• Jay Lee : Hey, guys, it's Evan.

  Agent Frank Simms : Well, we can't see her face. We can't ID her.

  Jay Lee : Poor guy's being worked.

  Agent Frank Simms : This is getting us nowhere.

  Carrie Wells : [remembering the hotel as she notices a tattoo when the woman brushes her hair away]  Might be getting you nowhere, but I saw that tattoo in the hotel today. Jay, zoom in on it.

  Agent Frank Simms : You find this normal?

  Al Burns : No. I find it exceptional.

• Jay Lee : We've made contact. I posed as a seller of valid serial numbers. Teased them I had a contact over at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The counterfeiters are pushing a meet tomorrow morning. This totally tracks with your intel about the Indonesian money buyer.

  Al Burns : You think your 25 specialists could've scored a meeting this quickly?

  Agent Frank Simms : Even a blind pig finds a truffle.

  Al Burns : Who you calling a blind pig?

  Jay Lee : [sensing the uncomfortable awkwardness]  You know what? I'm gonna get a cup of coffee.

• Al Burns : Do you have an operations plan?

  Agent Frank Simms : Well, procedure is we send someone in to meet the counterfeiters and give them a proof of concept; a valid serial number. When the number comes up clean, we arrange for payment, a second meeting, and tail whoever comes to the meeting.

  Al Burns : I don't think Padma or the other operatives would risk exposure. They'll probably send an intermediary.

  Agent Frank Simms : I can have an undercover operative up here from D.C. in 24 hours.

  Carrie Wells : You already have an undercover operative: me.

  Al Burns : No, too risky.

  Agent Frank Simms : I can't believe I'm saying this, but Al's right. This is a Secret Service op. This is what we do.

  Carrie Wells : All right, you guys get one shot with these girls, okay? If you scare them, they disappear, that's it. You don't get your ink or your paper, and we don't help Jay find Evan's killer.

  Agent Frank Simms : Carrie, with all due respect, you're a local cop. I mean, you're a brilliant one, for sure, but there's no way you have time to learn enough about counterfeiting to go undercover.

  Carrie Wells : [glancing at Al with a smirk]  Try me.

• Carrie Wells : The Liberty Bell inside the inkwell doesn't change from copper to green. Fake.

  Agent Frank Simms : [handing her another bill]  Mm-hmm.

  Carrie Wells : Uh, there's some nice texture on Ben Franklin's shoulder. This one's real.

  Agent Frank Simms : [handing her another bill]  Okay.

  Carrie Wells : Okay, this is just pathetic. The back side has the front of Independence Hall, not the rear. Fake.

  Agent Frank Simms : [handing her another bill]  All right. This was amateur stuff. What about this one?

  Carrie Wells : Watermarks are cold-pressed after inking. Fake.

• Agent Frank Simms : [testing Carrie's ability to identify counterfeit money]  Did you take one of those online memory courses?

  Carrie Wells : No.

  Agent Frank Simms : Hmm.

  Carrie Wells : I am an online memory course. Honestly, I have HSAM. It's Highly Superior...

  Agent Frank Simms : Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.

  Agent Frank Simms : Wait a minute. Only five people in the world have that.

  Carrie Wells : Six, and you really think I'm that special?

  Agent Frank Simms : I think you think you're that special.

• Carrie Wells : [explaining her condition to Simms]  All right, try me. Give me a day, month, year.

  Agent Frank Simms : January 5, 1998.

  Carrie Wells : It was a Monday. Opening arguments at the Unabomber trial, massive ice storm in Canada, and Brock Steele awkwardly tried to pet my thigh throughout the entire screening of "The Titanic", 194 minutes, at the Syracuse Megaplex.

  Agent Frank Simms : Okay, how-how do I know you're not just making this up?

  Carrie Wells : Well, you can look it all up on the Internet, except for the...

  Agent Frank Simms : Brock Steele thing?

  Carrie Wells : Brock Steele part, yeah.

• Al Burns : You can give them all the cute code names you want. These women have killed three people that we know of. And Padma's a wanted radical. You're concerned about solving a federal case. I'm concerned about my partner's well-being.

  Agent Frank Simms : She's not in danger. The counterfeiting crew needs thousands of serial numbers to cover, what, $72 million in bills? Carrie's gonna give 'em one. They're gonna need her alive to get the rest. We're gonna monitor her cell signal. Put a tracking device on her.

  Al Burns : No tracking device. Carrie's dead if they find a GPS on her.

  Agent Frank Simms : Standard federal procedure. Non-negotiable.

  Al Burns : I don't care what your federal handbook says, okay? We do undercover work all the time. I'm telling you, these people will try to sniff out a sting. This is Carrie's life we're talking about.

  Agent Frank Simms : Well, that's exactly why Carrie needs to do this by the book. My people are gonna handle surveillance at the plaza.

  Al Burns : My people, as well.

  Agent Frank Simms : No, your people are gonna hang back at Major Crimes.

  Al Burns : No, we're all working together on this one, Frankie.

  Agent Frank Simms : Oh, jeez...

  Al Burns : Unless you wanna call my boss? MONY?

  Agent Frank Simms : MONY?

  Al Burns : Mayor of New York. Think of him as the POTUS of the five boroughs.

• Al Burns : [after Carrie is abducted]  She has to be in the step van they used to block the camera.

  Agent Frank Simms : I will use every tool in my arsenal to find her.

  Al Burns : You lost her. I'll find her.

  Agent Frank Simms : Well, it'd be a hell of a lot easier to find her if she was still wearing a tracker.

  Al Burns : The only reason she's alive right now is because they didn't find it on her.

• Carrie Wells : [destroying the funny money]  Ah, it's so beautiful. A shame it has to burn.

  Agent Frank Simms : Acts as a deterrent to the bad guys. You are an unbelievable pain in the ass, by the way.

  Carrie Wells : You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.

  Agent Frank Simms : Uh-uh. No, I won't.

  Carrie Wells : Yes, you will.

  Agent Frank Simms : No.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.

  Agent Frank Simms : Because you might just be in Washington.

  Carrie Wells : Are you trying to recruit me, Special Agent?

  Agent Frank Simms : I don't need to recruit people to have dinner with me. See if you can remember this number.

  Carrie Wells : Oh, well. You seem awfully confident that I'm gonna call you.

  Agent Frank Simms : I'm just overly confident that you owe me money.

  Carrie Wells : You'll get your money back. You trust me, don't you?

  Agent Frank Simms : [scoffing laugh]  Not one bit.
