[Chief Inspector Fischer accuses Jane Doe of murdering CIA Deputy Director Carter]
Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer : You're lying. You didn't go home after kissing Weller. You went after Carter, because he found out your secret. And then you killed him.
Jane Doe : No, you're wrong. I am not a mole.
Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer : You're caught, Ms. Doe.
Jane Doe : I'm telling you the truth, I didn't kill Carter.
Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer : No one's confirmed that Carter's even dead. Are you confirming that he's dead?
-
[Chief Inspector Fischer accuses Jane Doe of being the Russian mole]
Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer : Your polygraph is practically a straight line. I've seen sociopaths with more spikes. The truth is, you were kidnapped at the age of five. You were trafficked to Russia, you were taught the language. You were taught to lie, you were trained to fight.
Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer : [Jane see's the flashback of her training] And then sent back to the United States to infiltrate the FBI. Reade suspected it, but Carter proved it. And he and Agent Patterson's boyfriend were murdered over it.
Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer : [Jane see's the flashback to Carter being murdered and Wagner's dead body] You actually spoke Russian to a fellow Russian spy in this very room. Olivia Delidio recognized you.
Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer : [Jane see's the flashback of her talking in Russian to Olivia Delidio] But before she could name you, your handlers had her killed. It's over, Jane Doe. Now, isn't part of you a little relieved?

[Chief Inspector Fischer walks up to Agent Patterson and the Russian informant Roman]

[Chief Inspector Fischer talks to Jane Doe after putting her into custody]
Jane Doe : You have the wrong person, I'm innocent.
Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer : Innocent people have alibis. So where were you the night Carter was killed?
Jane Doe : I didn't kill him.
Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer : Maybe not. It only means whatever you were up to til 4:00 a.m. that morning must've been worse. I collected my evidence against you in a matter of hours. Imagine what I'll find in a few days or weeks, or months. As you sit in a dark hole, awaiting treason. I'm going to bury you, Jane.
