"Roper is an obsession of hers, he was when she was with us here at the River," "I suspect that he always will be, but I hope you understand that I can't spend the nation's intelligence budget on an operation whose current status appears... to be somewhat catatonic." "I would need a little more." "Right, that's... that's disappointing." "Life's disappointing, Joel." "Just ask Angela." "Please, come back when you have something." "OK?" "Our door is always open." " Was that dull enough for you?" " Oh, are you kidding me?" "I never knew an American could sound so much like a total bloody loser." "[LAUGHTER]" "How do you stand it, Angela?" ""Modest enforcement agency."" " God!" " Well, he's not wrong, is he?" "But they must never know about our boy, Joel." "No mention of him in comms, nothing written down, nothing at all, yeah?"

" Javier helped me." " Did he?" "Good for him." "Good for you." " Yeah." "Hello, darling." "How are you?" " Well done, Danny." "Well done." " Hi!" "How is the patient?" "[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]" "You sleep now." "Tomorrow, we'll find out who you really are."
