Quotes 

• Tasha Zapata : We seized a huge cache of automatic weapons, demolition charges, nitrogen fertilizer, and diesel fuel.

  Patterson : Wisnewski isn't a mild-mannered farmer. He's using his farm as a domestic terrorist training camp.

  Kurt Weller : So he's making an ANFO bomb?

  Jane Doe : ANFO?

  Edgar Reade : Aluminum Nitrate Fuel Oil explosive. Same type of bomb they used in Oklahoma City.

• Kurt Weller : How exactly did you crack the Bible verse tattoo? You told me on the phone you picked up the phrase on some chatter.

  Patterson : You're never this interested in how I solve the tattoos.

  Kurt Weller : This one points to an off-the-book program being run out of this office, so I need to know what is happening under my watch, and I need to know now.

  Patterson : Uh, okay. I linked the tattoo database to a secret NSA data collection program.

  Kurt Weller : Omaha? Nas told me it's very similar to Daylight.

  Patterson : Daylight on steroids is more accurate.

  Kurt Weller : So you've been using illegal wiretaps to solve these tattoos?

  [Patterson is reluctant to say anything] 

  Kurt Weller : [losing his patience]  Patterson.

  Patterson : This was the first one.

  Kurt Weller : Really?

  Patterson : I know. It's just I have to use every resource that I have. We're running out of time to figure out what all of this adds up to.

  Kurt Weller : That is my call to make, not yours. Understand?

• Kurt Weller : [hearing an old conversation between Ron Clark and Mayfair]  She never told me that I was up for that.

  Patterson : Maybe she didn't want to get your hopes up.

  Kurt Weller : Clark blocked the chance for me to be promoted, to relocate to D.C. He wasn't just talking baseball gibberish.

  Patterson : What do you mean?

  Kurt Weller : He told me that I was playing for the Mets; the New York Mets. But he said I should have been a National; the Washington Nationals. He was trying to tell me about that transfer, but he said they could never let it happen.

  Patterson : "They" being Sandstorm?

  Kurt Weller : That phone call was from last year, so Shepherd wanted me to stay in New York, to be here when Jane showed up in that bag.

• Tess Bartell : Back off!

  Kurt Weller : Give me the detonator.

  Tess Bartell : Or what? You shoot me, I blow the truck, and we're all dead.

  Kurt Weller : You've gotta listen to me, Tess.

  Tess Bartell : You don't understand.

  Jane Doe : We do understand. The system does have problems, but killing innocent people isn't the answer.

  Tess Bartell : This is the only way for our voice to be heard. The only way to make things change.

  Kurt Weller : You're a soldier, right? So you've seen what happens when people use violence to send a message; how many lives it destroys. That is the easy way out, and you know it. Soldiers are trained to do what's right, not what's easy.

  [lowering his gun] 

  Kurt Weller : You need to give me that detonator, Tess.

• Nas Kamal : It's a control freak's worst nightmare to find out that someone else was at the wheel for the most crucial parts of their life.

  Kurt Weller : You think I'm a control freak?

  Nas Kamal : [they share a smile]  Shepherd may have once had a say in your future, but Kurt, don't let her drive you mad today by second guessing your leadership over this office.

  Kurt Weller : If someone else was sitting in that chair, they might have seen Agent Boyd's program sooner. I've just been so focused on Sandstorm.

  Nas Kamal : And personal complications?

  Kurt Weller : Yeah, that's part of it.

  Nas Kamal : Great leaders know that it is impossible to take everything on themselves. You do that, and you really do start to lose sight of the bigger picture.

  Kurt Weller : But as a leader, there are some things I can do better.
