“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

This ends only when people like us refuse to obey, no matter the cost.

Frank Frink

I-- I'm free to go? I am free to go?

Chief Insp Takeshi Kido

You have suffered enough, and I am not a monster.

Frink

If you ever need any more Jews to kill, you know where to find me.

Kido

Yes. I do.

What is that smell in here? How would you describe it?

I couldn't say.

Hmm. You couldn't say. You probably spend so much time in here, you don't notice. The old books. They got the stink of their owner. Cigarettes and coffee, cat piss, smell of decay.

What is troubling, you my prince?

This visit is false. We are false.

How false? Your father is the Emperor. As one day you shall be.

My father allowed his generals to use his throne as a shield for their ambition. We merely preside over its undoing.

Surely it is not so bad as that.

[sternly at her] I'm worried about the Nazis. Don't you see? We travel on ocean liners, they travel on rocket ships. A stark difference in technology. We are but an island nation losing our grip on our colonies while the Nazis tighten theirs.

Juliana Crain

Have you seen the films?

It's not my job to see them. I just pass them along.

Juliana Crain

I'm not here to kill Nazis. I'm here because I need answers, and I'm not leaving until I get them.

Frank Frink

[given three rounds for his Colt45 revolver] Only three?

Robert Childan

This is an antique store, not an armory, and I can't guarantee they'll fire. They're 100 yen apiece.

Frink

[gives yen notes] 300. [sees Childan write in a logbook] What is that?

Childan

I'm required by law to keep a registry of all sales of restricted items. So these bullets were purchased by Mr. Satoshi Matsuda, a collector on his way back to Tibet. But I will need to see your identity card on the chance I need to revisit this matter with you, and that is non-negotiable.

Frink

All right, all right. Come on.

Childan

I suggest you work on your patience, Mr. Frink.

Greetings, loyal subjects. Honored guests from the Nazi Reich. And people of the American Territories, or, as they like to say here...Howdy. [crowd laughs at the greeting] All those who fought in the Great War believed they fought on the side of righteousness, that the world they sought to build would be a better one. But men are mortal and imperfect. They see the world as they wish to see it, through the looking glass of their limited perspective.

John Smith

Do you know why you failed? You are one component in a complex machine that only works if every part does exactly what it's supposed to do in sync with the whole. Now, if you decide, without knowing what the other components are doing, to simply go your own way, eventually that machine is going to break down. Don't ever disobey a direct order from me again, Joe.

Nobusuke Tagomi

Ah. Inspector, please. [ushers to seats]

Takeshi Kido

No, thank you, Trade Minister. I will not stay long.

Tagomi

I appreciate you coming at such a busy time.

Kido

What could we not discuss on the telephone?

Tagomi

I felt it correct to speak in person. Guests of the Ministry have asked when their passports would be returned. I assured them I would inquire.

Kido

As soon as their identities are verified and their reasons for being in the Pacific States, all of their documents will be returned.

Tagomi

How long do you estimate it will take?

Kido

I offer no estimate. You met with a foreign visitor at his hotel this morning.

Tagomi

I met with several guests. They're honorable businessmen, not assassins. Their time is valuable.

Kido

All of our time is valuable.

Tagomi

I understand what is at stake.

Kido

Do you?

Tagomi

I was with the Royal Couple. So yes, I believe I do.

Kido

Then no doubt you will understand why I must disappoint you, Trade Minister. I am sorry, but in this instance there will be no exceptions. [bows and leaves]

There may be a role you are suited to, subject to references, here in personnel. Alongside your other work, it would involve undertaking certain personal services as and when I require them.

Juliana Crain

What kind of services?

You wish to work here?

Crain

Yes, sir.

It is an honor for a girl like you to be employed here.

Crain

I know that, sir.

It is not for you to question your duties. You simply do. [tries to unzip his pants] Do you want the job or not?

Mr. Tagomi expects complete loyalty and discretion. You will not speak of anything you hear or see, and you will not leave this level without my express permission. This is a government building, Miss Crain, patrolled by armed soldiers. Do not go anywhere without prior authorization.

John Smith

You find yourself a good woman Joe.

Rudolph Wegener

And until then, find as many bad ones as possible.

John Smith

You must trust the woman in your life, with your life, Joe!

What the hell do you think you're doing snooping around the Nippon Building? [to waiter] Two coffees, please.

Juliana Crain

I could say the same to you.

What choice do you think I had? I had a family to support. How do you think I kept all of you safe? I swallowed my pride, and I did what I had to do. Did you have any idea that your sister was involved with these insurgents? I heard her on the wire. So did all the other listeners. I had to throw myself on the mercy of...Our benevolent employers. I had to identify her. I told them she was a kid. I told them she was my kid. I mean, hell, I worked for them for 16 years. It's got to be worth something.

Crain

Sixteen years?

Did you know she had a film?

Crain

She did. And now there's another one.

Juliana, you listen to me very carefully. You cannot get involved in this.

Crain

There's something different about this one, isn't there?

I don't know what it is, but I can tell you they got us working around the clock trying to find it. They screamed at me so loud, I thought they were going to shoot us both. But everything I said checked out, so they let her and that idiot boyfriend of hers escape to the Neutral Zone. And thank God, Juliana, because if anything happened to Trudy...I'd be finished.
