S1 E15Unfinished Business

Sweet hardware!

Yup. CIA has the best shit.

So, who are these guys?

Uhm, the same guys who've already watched Brody for 300 hours. Who are you?

The guy [who's] running things.

[surprised] Is that right?

[resignedly] Yes. It is.

And I don't like surprises.

Err, I'm not crazy 'bout them, either.

[mockingly] Crazy? Interesting word. --- [shaking hands with Carrie] Peter Quinn.

Uh, Carrie.

Mathison.

Yes. I know.

I like your work.

[warily] Uh, Peter Quinn from where?

Same place as you.

Officer?

Analyst.

Estes brought him in.

Ah.

So. Let's talk shop.

[unwilling to take the information for granted] What... How many years?

Six at Langley, four on the Venezuela desk.

The cartels?

Like that. --- Are we done with the meet and greet?

Yes. Moving on?

So, we run a small team on Brody twenty four-seven. My team already hooked into the security cameras in the Rayburn building, tapping his home phone and cell. Anywhere else he goes, we have a man on him.

And what team is that?

You'll never see them.

Saul and I already have a plan.

[patronizing] Hold that thought --- Brody has a meeting this morning at the CIA, and we want to throw him a jolt. So we figured go for his Achilles heel. --- Which is you.

So I'm in the building. I... I run into him?

Let it drop you're back at the CIA. That should trigger his fear that your theory about him is now back in play. And that should send him to his handlers, where you guys... will be there with cameras.

Roger that.

Yeah, OK.

So, you want to tell us your plan now?

Uh, actually, it was the same.

The same plan?

Same plan. So...

[ironically] So... I'm only half a moron.

You were fucking him, huh?

What?

Brody.

Who are you fucking?

An ER nurse. I'm not that into her.

You're pretty mouthy for an analyst.

I'm just saying, if he did to me what he did to you, got me fired and made me think I was crazy when I wasn't, sent me off to get my brain zapped, I'd fucking rip his skin off.

Well... that's the plan.

It reeks, you know.

My confusion?

Your bullshit. We only have a few more minutes alone.

You still have your twisted theories about me, don't you?

Not theories anymore.

Look, I'm sorry I called. I guess I thought we could be friends.

Friends?! Oh, yeah. Do I want to be friends with a demented ex-soldier that hates America? Who decided strapping on a bomb was the answer to what ailed him? Despite his daughter, his son, people who loved him in real life, not in the mind-fuck world of Abu Nazir, who in the end, didn't have the stones to go through with it, but had no problem sending me to the nuthouse. Yeah. No, thanks. I don't think I need a friend like that.

Okay. Not friends.

So what are you going to do now? Are you going to kill me? You going to blame it on rough sex maybe? I mean, how long can you get away with something like that?

I've had a pretty good run so far.

That's true.

I seem to be good at this, if nothing else.

You're special.

I liked you, Carrie.

I loved you.

[Team breaks in and wrestles Brody to the floor, cuffing him]

If only the circumstances had been wildly different. You're a disgrace to your nation, Sergeant Nicholas Brody. You're a traitor and a terrorist, and now it's time you pay for that.

[to Brody] You broke my heart, you know. Was that easy for you? Was that fun? Because of you, I questioned my own sanity, I had myself admitted to a mental institution. I lost my job, too. I lost my place in the world. I lost everything.

[to Brody] It was hearing Dana’s voice that changed your mind, wasn’t it? She asked you to come home and you did. Why? Maybe because… Maybe because you suddenly understood that killing yourself and ruining Dana’s life wouldn’t bring Isa back. Maybe because you knew then how much you loved your own child. Maybe because you were just sick of death. That’s the Brody I’m talking to. That’s the Brody that knows the difference between warfare and terrorism. That’s the Brody I met up in that cabin. That’s the Brody I fell in love with.

RReynolds

[leading Saul to Aileen's cell] This one's a piece of work. A spitter, a hitter, and a shitter.

That doesn't sound like her.

RReynolds

Then you don't know her too well.

Aileen?. It's Saul Berenson. We drove from Mexico to D.C. together. I said I might be back if I needed help.

AAileen

Can we talk about this upstairs?

What's wrong with here?

AAileen

E-Everything.

It's very urgent.

Hi, Brody.

How does my wife know about Tom Walker?

I... I don't know.

I'll tell you how. Mike Faber. How the fuck does he know? You tell me.

Okay, Brody, calm down.

You came to me, accusing me of lying about Gettysburg. Maybe it's you who's the one that's lying, hmm? Puttin' some bullshit on me.

I'm not.

Why should I believe you?

I'll take care of Faber.

How? How? Have you really got this under control? Because it doesn't seem like it. And what the fuck happened in that shop? How did you lose those six agents?

We're investigating that.

Great. So you're hedging, Roya's hedging. This thing is on, I'm at the center of it, and I'm in the fucking dark!

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

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

You're never gonna leave this country alive.

NNazir

I know, and I don't care.

[Walden is having a heart attack]

WWalden

[gasping] Call... an ambulance!

No.

[Walden clutches at the phone, but Brody moves it away]

WWalden

What are you doing?

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

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

Are you suddenly an analyst, Quinn?

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