In Plain Sight (TV Series)

Her Days Are Numbered (2010)

Frederick Weller: Marshall Mann

Quotes 

• Marshall Mann : Asperger's has a number of symptoms of which you should be aware.

  Mary Shannon : [sarcastically]  Oh, yippee. Marshall-pedia.

  Marshall Mann : Off the chart recall. Total inability to relate emotionally on any level.

  Mary Shannon : So, my dream witness.

  Marshall Mann : Also, it's difficult for some people with Asperger's to lie or even grasp the concept of lying.

  Stan McQueen : Which is why this is her third relocation in six months.

  Mary Shannon : Aces.

  Stan McQueen : She testifies in a few days. But if she blows her new identity again, she's out of WITSEC.

• Stan McQueen : So, what's the 411 on Alfaro?

  Marshall Mann : The AUSA says he doesn't understand what happened, and Reina's paperwork was submitted.

  Stan McQueen : So what's the holdup? She made their case, put away some serious dirtbag smugglers, right? Give the woman her green card. Who's the ICE guy in charge here?

  Marshall Mann : Uh, the file says Jack Suarez.

  Stan McQueen : Jack Suarez?

  Marshall Mann : You know him?

  Stan McQueen : Oh, yeah. From the Paleozoic Era. We knocked heads on a joint task force. He was... well, less than malleable.

  Marshall Mann : Is he a stand-up guy?

  Stan McQueen : Oh, a little too stand-up. Talk about an agent who would collar his own mom? Suarez actually did. On a coke charge. Got famous quick.

  [Stan chortles] 

  Stan McQueen : Let me take a crack at this. Forward me the info.

  [Mary enters] 

  Stan McQueen : Good morning, Mary. You have a new witness.

  Mary Shannon : [sighs in disgust]  It never ends. What's her story?

  Stan McQueen : Challenging.

  Mary Shannon : In what sense?

  Stan McQueen : Key witness in an interstate numbers-running ring. She was the accountant. Feds kicked in the doors, only to find no computers, no files, not a hard drive in sight. Just some phones, the occasional betting slip, and our Ms. Wagrowski in the conference room. Kept every bet and payout for the entire operation in her head.

  Marshall Mann : Meaning she's not the key witness in the case, she *is* the case.

  Stan McQueen : Something exactly like that, yeah.

  Mary Shannon : So the challenge is what, finally dealing with my intellectual equal?

  Stan McQueen : The challenge is she has Asperger's, and you're... you know, you're you.
