[Shepherd tells Jane Doe about her past]
Shepherd : You were born in Pretoria, South Africa. Your real name is Alice Kruger.
Shepherd : [Jane sees the flashback of her past] Your birth parents were antiapartheid activists. The government had them killed... in your own home. You were forced into a secret academy, an orphanage, where they trained innocent children to become deadly soldiers. Operatives for the state.
Shepherd : Of course, you excelled. But when apartheid fell, so did the academy. I was one of the American soldiers who liberated you. Most of the children were placed in foster care, but you and your brother... were too dangerous. Too special. No one could handle you. So I chose to raise you myself.
Jane Doe : Wait...
Shepherd : You wanted new names... to distance yourself from a past you wanted to forget. We chose them together. Roman... and Remi.

[Shepherd tells Jane Doe the pieces are almost in place]
Shepherd : [Shepherd hugs Jane] Oh... I've missed this face.
Shepherd : [Shepherd puts her hands up to Jane's face] It's so good to have you back, Remi. All of the pieces are almost into place. You don't have to live this double life for much longer. We're almost ready.

[last lines]
Shepherd : [Shepherd and Roman discuss on whether Jane's telling them the truth or not] Do you believe her?
Roman : Of course.
Shepherd : Something feels off.
Roman : We erased her memory and then sent her into a lion's den. She was kidnapped and tortured for three months. I'd be a little off, too. My sister's still in there... I'm positive.
Shepherd : I'm not.
Roman : Then activate our mole in the FBI. Have them tell you.
Shepherd : No... not yet. It's too dangerous. Everyone will be watching. Do it too soon, and we risk burning them for later, when we really need them. For now, that's the ace we need to hold onto. Don't worry.
