Quotes 

• Jay Lee : Man on the left is Farhan Hazara. One on the right is Babur Rashad. Hazara is an Afghan national; Rashad is strictly homegrown, born in New Jersey.

  Al Burns : If the guy's a suspected terrorist, how'd he get a work visa?

  Jay Lee : It's all about who you know, right? Rashad worked with Coalition forces as a civilian interpreter. He's currently assigned to the UN.

  Al Burns : What exactly were they being investigated for?

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : I reached out to an FBI agent who's on the terrorism task force; he says both were suspects in a potential weapons purchase. The idea was to set up a buy, and then flip the two targets and move higher up the food chain.

  Al Burns : How does our cab driver fit in?

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Rashad and Hazara both attend mosque in Brooklyn. The task force believes the mosque was a source of money for the weapons buy.

  Jay Lee : Our cab driver was flagged as a potential asset when he applied for his green card. Basically, he was told his application would be fast-tracked if he agreed to infiltrate the mosque.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : The problem is, we got nothing to link either of them to this.

  Al Burns : How about a dead cabbie who just happened to be informing against them? There's your link.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : It's motive, yes. We're gonna need more.

  Al Burns : So let's get more. The task force has eyes on both of these guys now; they're not going anywhere. In the meantime, we work the case through forensics and witnesses just like any other, right? Guy offers to help his new country, takes a bullet for it.

• Cherie Rollins-Murray : Mrs. Sajadi, we know your husband was doing nothing wrong. In fact, he was working with the police to prevent a terrorist attack.

  Mrs. Sajadi : Bashir was working for the police?

  Jay Lee : He was helping in an investigation.

  Mrs. Sajadi : Is that why he was killed?

  Jay Lee : We're not sure. Ma'am, do you recognize either of these men?

  Mrs. Sajadi : No. I've never seen them. I don't understand. Why would Bashir get involved with this?

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Because he was promised a green card. He did it so that you and your kids could have a chance.

• Cherie Rollins-Murray : Medal of valor, huh? I saw the memo.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : It's impressive.

  Carrie Wells : But it wasn't my idea.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Mm-hmm.

  Carrie Wells : It was Eliot's idea.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : You realize what you did was way outside the rulebook.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, I do.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : I'm beginning to realize, you sort of got your own rulebook, don't you?

  Carrie Wells : I do,

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : I asked my guy at the FBI if he could pull some strings to get Mrs. Sajadi and her kids their green cards.

  Carrie Wells : Well, I have a feeling that's way outside the rulebook.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Yep.
