Jordan Johnson-Hinds: Stuart

Quotes 

• Stuart : Looks like Roman's phone survived the plunge. We got all the data you sent back to us intact.

  Rich Dotcom : Yeah, but the big shocker, it's encrypted. I'm sure if you had the better part of a week, Stuart, you could figure it out all by yourself. But luckily I'm here, so you'll have the data back in a couple of hours.

• Kurt Weller : Why is Roman doing this? And what's his endgame?

  Jane Doe : If this was just about revenge, he had plenty of chances to kill all of us. Why the new tattoos?

  Kurt Weller : We have to recover the team, get back to New York, and work all this out.

  Jane Doe : Rich and Stuart need time to crack the phone anyway. Maybe we should just use it to get this bounty off my head.

  Kurt Weller : We don't know anything about this guy. And never mind that drug he wants you to inject yourself with.

  Stuart : Succinylcholine. It actually does exactly what Roman says it does, reduce the heartbeat to an undetectable level.

  Rich Dotcom : Yeah, I've actually used it on myself a bunch to sneak across the border as a dead body. Also for some sex stuff that I... probably shouldn't bore you two with. The point is the only real danger here is if you don't take the antidote within ninety minutes, you actually die.

  Jane Doe : I'm a walking target, Kurt. And I am tired of running.

• Rich Dotcom : Okay, I cannot believe that that worked. My dark web sources confirm it; the bounty's been lifted and Jane is free and clear.

  Kurt Weller : What about Roman's phone? You unlocked it yet?

  Stuart : Actually, yes, I have. It took a little doing, b...

  Rich Dotcom : Yes, but young Stuart was able to crack the phone's surprisingly simple encryption, and good news! Roman was telling the truth! He sold Patterson, Reade, and Zapata into slavery. I don't know why I said that's good news. That's obviously terrible news.

  Kurt Weller : So who bought them?

  Rich Dotcom : Oh, well, that's virtually impossible to figure out. Which makes it all the more impressive that I have.

  Kurt Weller : Rich.

  Rich Dotcom : See, first I had to figure out where the auction was taking place and then figure out who won by eliminating who lost...

  Kurt Weller : He's worse than Patterson.

• Kurt Weller : Just tell us where they are.

  Stuart : The Venezualan government has them.

  Rich Dotcom : Yes, and if my intel is correct, they're being held in a military training facility somewhere near the base of the Caroni River.

  Eleanor Hirst : Unfortunately, our relationship with Venezuela being what it is, there'll be zero assistance on their end.

  Jake Keaton : Which is why she called me. I know a group of rebels that'll meet you at an airstrip about three clicks from the base. They'll get you all the gear you need, but you have to infiltrate the compound on your own.

  Stuart : Um, shouldn't we just call the President or something? If we get caught sneaking FBI into a non-extradition country, it can spark an international incident.

  Eleanor Hirst : They bought our friends, enslaved them under God knows what conditions. I'll do whatever I have to to get them back.

• Rich Dotcom : Okay, so, Jane's new tattoos are a bit of a mindcuss, if you'll pardon my French. It's very different this time.

  Stuart : The new layers also seem to interact with the original tattoos like some giant game of 3-D chess. With puzzles.

  Rich Dotcom : It's gonna take a bit of time to crack.

  Patterson : Yeah, well, for you, maybe.

  Rich Dotcom : Hmm.

  Tasha Zapata : I thought you were just helping us get started.

  Patterson : Oh, I'm in. I mean, there's no way that I'm leaving this to Rich and Stuart. No offense, Stuart.
