"When we're not in class, she's at the library, the pool, the gym." "She doesn't stop." "Maybe she's a blue flamer." "That's what they call NATs who start raring to go but crash and burn before the finish line." "No, that's not Alex." "At least I don't think it is." "NEWSCASTER:" "It's been 24 hours since the Grand Central bombing and the whereabouts of the prime suspect, Alex Parrish, an FBI special agent, are still not known." "Just released a picture of Parrish." "They hope this photo will help track her down." "Wouldn't shoot a man with a cherry scone, would you?" "I'm so sorry." "I'm..." "I'm just on edge." "Guess you don't need the coffee." "Wow." "You've been busy." "So, I tracked down all the information I could on all the NATs in our class." "SIMON:" "That couldn't have been easy." "Did you know Paul Winters spent time in Iran?" "And Graham Nelson married a woman whose brother was a Chechnyan rebel." "And Elias... you know how many FBI persons of interest he's defended in his law career?" "And got most of them acquitted." "You didn't get much sleep, did you?" "What we really need is to find a bomb technician to take a look at this wire, Simon." "It's the only thing I have pointing to... whoever's framed me." "I might know a guy." "Former IDF, now lives in Williamsburg." "Y-You think he could figure out where this came from?" " I..." " [cellphone ringing]" "Uh, it's work." "Let me, um...

"Copy that." "Trainee Amin." "I've noticed it's just been you the last few days." "Is your sister okay?" "Nimah has the flu." "I've been doing double shifts." "I'm sorry to hear that." "I'll check in on her after..." "Oh, no, it's fine." "She's much better now." "Amin." "If the stress is getting to her, you can tell me, okay?" "NATs get homesick after the first four weeks." "It interferes with their training." "Not to mention the stress of you two trying to pass as one person." "Don't worry about her." "This is what she always wanted, remember?" "Hey, Booth." "Good news." " You're going home." " I'm what?" "Your mission, it's over." "You don't seem relieved." "Well, maybe 'cause I haven't heard the catch." "Alex Parrish has been flagged as an unfit candidate for the FBI." "I don't need your eyes on her anymore." "Just need you to get her to quit the Academy." "Quit?" "Why?" "A good soldier knows how to follow orders, not question them." "I was told to make this happen." "Now I'm telling you." "Alex is at the top of her class." "She's as determined now as she's ever been." "The only way you're getting her out of Quantico is if you kick her out." "It's in our best interest that you help her make that decision herself." "And how am I supposed to do that?" "You saw her with that file." "Trust me, she's more fragile than you think." "Just give her a push." "RAY:" "Hostage Rescue is, at its essence, a mind game." "Operators need to feel comfortable amidst violent confrontation." "They need to be able to storm into the chaos of crisis and make clear and calm decisions." "Now, ultimately, you will all find yourselves at the same moment in your careers where a split-second decision can save people's lives." "Sometimes you have to make that difficult decision for the greater good." "This week... we're giving you a taste of what it's like to serve on the FBI's most elite squad." "We're gonna put you in high-stress situations to see if you can overcome your wiring and make the right split-second decision." "We don't want to see what you do on your best day." "We want to see what you do on your worst." "Because when the stakes are this high... one moment can change everything." "Let's see who you are when it's do or die." "Will you freeze, or will you fire?" "VASQUEZ:" "Save America Militia, Sovereign Citizen," "Syria, and Iraq-based Islamic State... all claiming credit." "Anyone not taking credit at this point?" "[Sighs] Yeah." "Parrish." "Wonder why?" "You don't think she did it?" "I'm just asking questions." "She put a bullet in you and left you for dead." "Maybe she thought I was the one framing her." "I know." "It's crazy, but..." "No, it's just sad." "Don't make this into something." "If I was gonna make this into something," "I would ask what you were doing at her apartment at 6:00 in the morning." "I was clearing the air." "I hadn't talked to her since she found out about us." "It was a mistake." "I should have told you." "I'm sorry." "LIAM:" "There's been a break." "EAD's got a lock on Alex's position." "He's sending in a team to grab her right now."

"Let's go." "Come on, let's go!" "Okay." "My team checked the entire area and they are gone." "Check credit cards, cellphones, car." "I need eyes on Agent Asher now!" "Let's go!" "O'Connor!" "You got a leak in your unit." "Somebody tipped her off we were coming." "My unit?" "How about your unit?" "How long has Simon Asher been working with the FBI?" "He left Quantico in disgrace, and now you're trusting him to bring in public enemy number one?" "When he started working for a company that we were investigating," "I took the liberty of instating him." "He's been undercover for months." "And if it weren't for him, we wouldn't even know where Alex was right now." " She's turned him, Clay." " You don't know that." "And for the record," "I don't feel the need to be lectured by the man who trained the woman we're all chasing." "Liam:" "Welcome to Hogan's Alley, the FBI's very own small-town U.S.A." "There's a playground, supermarket, banks." "You can grab a bite to eat at the diner, or you can go to work at the office complex." "And it's all staffed up, just like it would be in the real world." "Over the next few weeks, you will be working through multiple realistic stressful scenarios here with your analysts offering insight and support into how to continually improve your performance." " Look at us." " Three key principles" " of a successful raid..." " Partners at last." "You intimidated?" " Partners at last." "You intimidated?" " Of a successful raid..." "I spent months with the UAWC rehabbing greenhouses bombed by the Israelis in the Gaza Strip." "Takes a lot to spook me." "Maybe me being in your ear will finally give me a chance to get inside your head." "I don't know whether to say good luck or I'm sorry." "RAY:" "We're going to be handing out simulation weapons for your use today." "You are to treat these weapons as if they're real." "One shot, one kill." "Don't look at what people look like." "Looks can be deceiving." "Look at what they do." "I heard HRT seeks out candidates at academy level" " in hopes they'll be ready down the road." " Expect the unexpected." " They've never had a woman on the team." " Be prepared for anything." "I think Shelby's got it in the bag." "This ain't shooting skeet at the country club." "It's the real deal." "And I've got the battle scars to prove I'm up for it." "No scars on me." "Guess that means I'm more qualified." "Wow." "I feel like a boss with this thing." "Wait." "My life is in your hands?" "Calm down, Blake Lively." "I'll make sure you don't chip your French tips." "[laughs]" "You are lucky you're an analyst, because you have friendly fire written all over you."

"So you think that I would blow up Grand Central to get back at you?" "That is insane, and it's impossible because I've been out of the country." "You could have had an accomplice." "You could have rigged the bomb to blow remotely." "The bombs... seven..." "strategically placed... were buried too many stories beneath the ground." "They could not have been detonated remotely."

"If you can't be a team player, then what are you doing here?" "Your teammates died because of you." "CALEB:" "Hey, Amin." "No one was quicker to the trigger." "You just had to get out of your head." "You know, when you're not a crude, foul, unserious little boy, you can actually be very useful." "You're a great analyst, Mr. Haas." "If I have to be one, I might as well be a good one." "My son was always..." "troubled." "For a long time, I thought it was a phase." "I hoped it would pass." "And then a few years ago," "I discovered that he met some people online who were ready to tap into his rage... give him purpose." "The extremists?" "They reached him... in a way I couldn't." "They spoke to him." "They... [chuckles] They inspired him to impress them." "So he made a plan... an attack at his high school, a school whose student population included the sons and daughters of many members of congress." "You stopped him?" "I did everything I could to get his sentence reduced." "He's serving two years in juvenile detention for the possession of an unregistered firearm." "And he's up for parole." "And the hardest part about all this is I hope he doesn't get it." "What kind of thing... is that for a mother to pray for her child?" "I am sorry, Miranda." "For both of you." "That's why you're here." "The people who reached out to my son, they're reaching out to others." "They're building cells on our soil." "We need to infiltrate them, poison their network." "I have a plan, but I need you." "I need you both." "I need you to work together as one." "I let my emotions get in the way of my duty." "It will never happen again." "Yes, it will."

"What am I still doing here?" "I'm not cut out for this." "If those bullets were real today, you and Simon would be dead." "It hit my shoulder." "I would've recovered." "You don't get it, Ryan." "What, so you're just gonna quit?" "Sometimes you have to make a difficult decision for the greater good." "I shouldn't be an agent, Ryan." "People around me die." "Alex..." "Alex." "Alex, wait." "Alex!" "Booth, thank God." "Take her down." "What are you doing?" "You both have to get out of here." " What is going on?" " Alex, they tracked Simon's car." "This whole place is gonna be surrounded in minutes." " You got to go now." " Nobody is going anywhere." "Why don't we all just put our guns down..." "Don't you take another step." "Shelby, put the gun down, please." "Put it down!" "Simon, go get the gun." "Okay." "You both have to get out of here before they get here." "I'm not leaving you with her." "And I can't let you get caught with me." "Simon, get him out of here." "She's right." "Let's go." "Go!" "What are you gonna do, Alex?" "You gonna kill me?" "Shut up and move." "What are you doing?" "I am taking you in." "You can't outrun the FBI, Alex." "[both grunting]" "Okay, fine." "You want to turn me in?" "I give up." "You bitch!" "Car keys, now." "FBI AGENT:" "Search the perimeter." "They can't have gotten far." "[muffled screaming]" "ELIAS:" "Shocker." "The organization you claimed to work for in Gaza has never heard of Simon Asher." "When is this gonna end?" "Do you want to see my birth certificate?" "Want to meet my parents?" "I know you exist." "That's not what scares me." "It's who you are that does." "Are you a patriot?" "Are you Jewish?" "Are you even gay?" "The answers are... yes, definitely, and no, but my boyfriend is." "Because if you weren't gay, it'd be a great way to win your spot here." "You know, the first openly gay NAT." "The Bureau couldn't say no to that." "Or it's just another piece of the facade of Simon Asher." "Just like the glasses, just like the coffee I always see you make but never drink." "The only thing real about you is the way you look at Nimah Amin when you think no one's looking." "Even if all of that is true, why do you care?" "The most dangerous enemy America faces... is the enemy within... traitors who play the long game." "And they inflict the deepest wounds because people miss the warning signs." "And that's what you are, Simon Asher... one big, flashing warning sign." "If you want to tell me the truth, you know where to find me." "If not, you can wait until I present my case to Liam and Miranda." "Have a good night, whoever you are." "At least you're okay." "I'm sorry." "I should be used to it by now... you making rash decisions, leaving me holding the bag." "I wanted to teach you a lesson, but I was wrong." "[sighs]" "Do you know how it was like for me here, working for both of us, worrying all the time?" "I'm not the one who wanted to come here." "I came for you because you're my sister and I would do anything for you." "But this is too much." "I'm not leaving again." "Don't worry." "I have to worry." "We're committing to life as one agent, Nimah." "One person." "Sometimes I feel I'm losing myself." "And I don't want to get lost, Nimah." "I know who you are." "And I know we make a great team." "Do you have any idea how lucky we are to have each other?" "We will do important things together, Raina." "We will save lives." "Can I tell you what Miranda has planned for us now?" "ALEX:" "When I heard you wanted to see me," "I didn't realize it was an ambush." "Where did you get that?" "I gave it to her." "You want to talk to me about what happened today?" "Why you froze?" "I saw my father's face..." "And I just couldn't shake it." "He was a good man and a decorated agent." "And I..." "He died because of me." "I thought I'd made my peace with it, but being here is just a constant reminder of the fact that I killed a hero." "What if I told you he had a bad reputation?" "That he was a drunk with a temper?" "That he abused his authority in the field, received several letters of censure?" "That he threatened your mother's life more than once and the Bureau ignored it?" "I'd say you were trying to make me feel better." "You're punishing yourself because you think you killed a hero." "But being a good agent... it doesn't mean you're a good man." "That file isn't the whole story." "Sit down, Alex." "Alex, sit down." "Don't let your guilt rewrite history." "If you hadn't pulled the trigger, he would have killed your mother and maybe you, too." "You made the only choice you could have in that moment." "The right one." "This job is filled with hard choices." "But we make them." "That's why we get to protect our country."

"What the hell are you hiding?" "After what happened in Chicago..." "No, the only mistake I made there was keeping my mouth shut." "And if you try to keep me under your thumb, I will go above you."
