[after learning the man who killed his father years ago has been arrested] Wow, this is ... It is pretty overwhelming. I got a plane to catch, so maybe we should just talk about this later.
Michael told the cops you got in touch with him. Asked him if he wanted to make a lot of money for one night’s work. You gave him your Rolex and your car as a down payment. When your inheritance came through, he got a half million dollars and a one-way ticket to Los Angeles. He still has your Rolex. And a map that you drew of your father’s house, with a path leading straight to his bedroom.
Tell me I haven’t been believing in you all this time for nothing. [doorbell rings] That’s them. Detective Salazar and some New York detectives. They’re here to take you in. [rising from his seat] I told them you’d be a gentleman.
I got that one. I just spoke with the State Department. They debriefed Amir when he first landed here. They say he was working on a weapons program for the Syrians.
I don't know. It's so funny, Castle. You know, at first, I loved that he was so busy. It just It just gave me an opportunity to keep one foot out the door, just in case.
That's one of the things that attracted me to him the most. That passion. That drive.

Do you see yourself as a great hero, doing this for a mighty cause? You think that’s how people are going to see you? Because, I’ll tell you right now, brother, if you let this happen, you’re going to go down in history as America’s greatest mass murderer. Is that what you want?

When this bomb goes off, do you think they’re going to be looking at me? People will see this as an act of terrorism, so they will be looking for a terrorist. Not a patriot. Not one of their own.
Is that what you think you are? A patriot? There’s a word for people like you, it’s not “patriot.” It’s “traitor”.
RRadford
The powers that be have no use for a traitor. So when they find their terrorist, and they will find their terrorist, what do you think will happen to me? [Fallon shrugs] Well, let me tell you, because I know them, I know how they think.
