Kelly AuCoin: Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody

Quotes 

• Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : I noticed you at the party. I'm so pleased you stuck around.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, well, I never like to leave a party before last call. Oh... bet you wish you could say the same about your hostages. Party poopers.

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Well done.

  [running her through facial recognition and getting a match] 

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Oh... but who needs them when I've got one of New York's finest? And from what I gather, perhaps the finest of New York's finest. Carrie Wells. I'm in the presence of greatness.

  Carrie Wells : I wish I could say the same, Omega. More like an iota.

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : You know your Greek. Well, then you also know that I am the first and the last. The beginning... and the end.

  Carrie Wells : Well, that's one way of putting it. Another is, um, oh, deranged psycho.

• Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : These demerits on your file make sense. Insubordination, oh... conduct unbecoming. That's a quality we share. The established order longs to control us, but the tyrant powers we bow to have outlived their time, rather like the Titans of old. They need to die so that a new order can be born.

  Carrie Wells : [to his goon]  Is-is he for real?

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : But only but cutting away the dead and useless can there be new life. A new beginning for this system. For all of us.

  Carrie Wells : A new beginning. What do you want, Omega?

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : You'll never know. Sorry, Carrie. Like Icarus, you soared high, oh, so high. But your hubris, thinking that you could defeat me, has led to your fall. And what a long, glorious fall it will be. Take her.

  [she struggles as his goon grabs her] 

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Let her test her wings.

• Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : A simple press of a button, and I change the world.

  Al Burns : A simple click of the trigger, and your day gets even worse.

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : The ancients believed that fame is immortality. And I'm about to become very, very famous.

  Carrie Wells : You like your Greek myths, don't you? You know the story about the Gordian knot?

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Of course. A knot so intricate, no one could untie it.

  Carrie Wells : Until Alexander the Great came and cut it in half with a single stroke.

  [she shoots his computer, and Al shoots him in the shoulder as he moves for his gun] 

  Carrie Wells : Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

• Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Good afternoon, gentlemen. Apologies for the inconvenience, but there's business to take care of. Mr. Skinner, if you are indeed interested in "ponying up my tab", as you say, feel free to call. There's a cell phone in the call box that works. And yes, I can hear everything you say in there. Now, Mr. Delson, I consider myself fortunate you chose to ride with your two friends. Gives me a direct line to the NYPD. And tell me while you're otherwise engaged, with whom would you suggest I communicate?

  Eliot Delson : Lieutenant Al Burns. He's with Major Crimes.

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Thank you. Now, sit back, relax, and I'll be with you again soon.

  Mayor Beverly : He better be good.

  Eliot Delson : Yeah, he's good.

• Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Lieutenant Burns, my congratulations. You've been chosen by the mayor to be my liaison.

  Al Burns : Must be my lucky day.

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Forgive me for rushing through this part. I can see everything outside the building, thanks to her own cameras and the NYPD's vast surveillance network. Come within fifty yards of Skinner Plaza, and the elevator drops. Try to breach the building, the elevator drops. If I see a helicopter, sniper, anything untoward...

  Al Burns : The elevator drops.

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Very good. Failure to follow my orders, and all the hostages die. You have 47 minutes to get me my $100 million, Burns. Hail Eris.

• Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Cutting the power? Yawn. Is your strategy to bore me to death?

  Al Burns : Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : You got my attention for the next 34 minutes.

  [going into the room where the hostages are and recording the scene on his phone] 

  Jonathan 'Alpha Omega' Brody : Disobey me again, and I kill hostages. Now, give me my money.
