“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

Brody

I'm more alone than I was in the bottom of that hole in Iraq.

Brody

If that's the last thing I see before they lock me up, it could be worse.

Saul

[discussing Virgil's findings about Quinn's ascetic lifestyle] He's a CIA analyst. His personal life is a little wanting.

Carrie

You're never gonna leave this country alive.

I know, and I don't care.

[gasping] Call... an ambulance!

Brody

No.

What are you doing?

Brody

You still don't get it, do you? [fierce whisper] I'm killing you.

Quinn

So there's no threat to the nation. He'll never rise politically.

Estes

Are you suddenly an analyst, Quinn?

Quinn

No. I'm a guy who kills bad guys.

Quinn

The only reason to kill Brody now is for you. Cover your ass. And the collateral damage will be you wreck a woman you've already wrecked once before. And I ain't doing that.

Estes

Fine. If you're not up to the task...

Quinn

Nothing happens to Brody.

Estes

Or?

Quinn

Or you'll find me back in this bedroom one night. Right back in that chair. Because I'm a guy who kills bad guys.

Saul

[On Brody] He's a man who put on a suicide vest, Carrie. That's who he is, that's who he always will be.

Carrie

I know everything he is, but it's...it's complicated.

Saul

No, it's crystal clear. You cannot be with him.

Carrie

[Angrily] Who are you to say that to me?

Saul

You can do whatever you want. An intelligence officer can't.

Carrie

Don't you think I know that?

Saul

So you're choosing him over us?

Carrie

[Nervously thinks for a moment] I don't know.

Saul

You're throwing your life away.

Carrie

Or maybe I'm just not giving it away to this place. Maybe...Maybe I want other things.

Saul

Like a terrorist in your bed.

Carrie

[Angrily] Maybe I don't want to be alone my whole fucking life!

Saul

Like me?

Carrie

Like you! Because it doesn't look that great, Saul! How does it feel?!

Saul

You don't know a goddamn thing. You're the smartest and the dumbest fucking person I've ever known.

Carrie

If you're asking 'did he outsmart me?' Yes he did.

Everywhere you go, other people die, but you always manage to survive. Have you noticed that? You're like a cockroach, still there after the last nuclear bombs go off. You belong here.

Carrie

I'm not going to jail.

It seems to me you're already there.

Peter

She's on her own, Saul.

Saul

She's always been on her own.

Saul should have instructed you to treat me with more respect than that.

Quinn

This is just the fucking beginning.

Carrie

Don't you dare do anything to harm him.

You misunderstand me.

Carrie

Do I?

You have - from the very beginning. I think you of all people will understand that no-one is just one thing.

Carrie

Where's Brody?

In Evin prison

Carrie

I need to see him.

You can't. No-one can. He appeared this morning before a military tribunal where he was sentenced to death by hanging.

Carrie

What?

I'm afraid so - declared an enemy of the state.

Carrie

Well you're insane if you think that's going to happen. You have to stop it.

It's out of my hands Carrie, the public execution is scheduled for tonight.

Carrie

Tonight!

Tomorrow to be precise - at 4am just before the call for morning prayer.

Carrie

Well you find a fucking way!

Or what? What will you do Carrie? Burn it all down? Everything you worked for? And I don't mean what the CIA has worked for, I mean YOU. The plan is a success. You and Brody pulled it off.

Carrie

Not if he dies.

More so if he dies. I ask myself over and over from the moment I knew what you've gone through. The hardships, self-abnegation to lure me in. Why? Why would anyone do that to themselves? Why would you? But I think I know now. It was always about him. That's what you care about. Maybe the only thing. Who Brody is... that's for Allah to know. But what he did - there can't be no debate. It was astonishing and undeniable, and what you wanted which was for everyone to see in him what you see. That has happened. Everyone see's him through your eyes now. Saul, Lockhart, The President of the United States, even me!

Carrie

Take me to him.

I can't.

Carrie

Please

He's at peace in his cell. A kind of peace. Let that be.
