[first lines]
Jane Doe : [Jane Doe tells Agent Weller about a flashback she had] I had another memory. It was my most vivid one yet.
Kurt Weller : What was it?
Jane Doe : It was hot. I was high above the treetops. We were taking out a hostile target.

[Roman and Shepherd tell Jane Doe about ORION]
Roman : The CIA formed ORION to carry out off-the-book ops.
Jane Doe : But I thought that's what SEALs were for.
Shepherd : Orion was for illegal, unsanctioned operations. Assassinations. Regime change. Missions too grisly to go through legitimate channels.
Roman : When Douglas Winter blew the whistle on the illegal NSA program that was feeding them intel, the CIA shut ORION down. Tried to erase any trace.
Shepherd : You were the only one that survived. They thought they killed you, too. We chose not to correct them.
Roman : This plaque is the closest thing ORION has to a memorial. This is what your country thought you were worth.
Shepherd : [Jane looks down to a memorial plague] America needs to be saved from itself.

[Agent Naz tells the FBI team that the DEA sells weapons to the Mexican cartel]
Kurt Weller : How does a Mexican cartel steal weapons from the New York DEA?
Nas Kamal : They don't. The DEA sold them.
Jane Doe : What?
Patterson : That was through the gun-waltzing program? Why couldn't I find that?
Nas Kamal : 'Cause you don't work for the NSA.
-
[Agent Weller tells Jane Doe what gun-waltzing is]
Jane Doe : What is gun-waltzing?
Kurt Weller : It's a bad idea. It puts these weapons back on the streets through agents posing as arms dealers.
Nas Kamal : Then trace the weapons back to the big players for big busts.
Kurt Weller : Only sometimes, they lose them.
-
[Agent Naz tells Jane Doe to give the FBI time for them to trust her again]
Nas Kamal : Look, everything they knew about you is a lie. You've got to give them time to forgive you.
Jane Doe : They handed me over to the CIA to be tortured and interrogated without charge or trial. As far as I can tell, this country runs on lies.
Nas Kamal : Look, I understand that you're angry...
Jane Doe : No, you have no idea what it feels like to be looked at with hatred and suspicion at every...
Nas Kamal : I'm a Pakistani-born woman who's busted my ass climbing to the top of the National Security Agency. You think I haven't dealt with my share of aggression and mistrust?
-
[Jane Doe tells Agent Naz that she doesn't trust the laws of America anymore]
Jane Doe : I've seen the laws this country's willing to violate, and all I've seen Sandstorm do is expose corruption and save lives. How can you be so sure we're on the right side of this?
-
[Dr. Borden asks Jane Doe what's on her mind]
Dr. Robert Borden : You seem agitated. What's on your mind?
Jane Doe : [Jane sees herself being tortured] Nothing I can think of.
-
[Dr. Borden tells Jane Doe that her and Agent Weller are both going through a lot]
Dr. Robert Borden : It seems both of you are feeling rather alone at the moment, and sometimes the best we can do is to try to feel alone together. You and Kurt could help each other.
Jane Doe : Yeah, maybe.
Dr. Robert Borden : After all, Jane... this team's the closest thing to family you've got.
-
[Agent Naz asks for Jane Doe to trust her]
Nas Kamal : Jane, I know that this isn't easy for you, but you have everything to gain by seeing this through.
Jane Doe : And everything to lose if I don't.
Nas Kamal : Well, believe it or not, I am on your side. You don't have to like me, but... you can trust me. I promise.

[Agent Weller tells Jane Doe what he did with Taylor Shaw's body]
Jane Doe : Why haven't you told anybody that you found Taylor's body? I searched her name, and nothing new comes up.
Kurt Weller : [Weller sighs] I exhumed her body in secret and buried her.
Kurt Weller : [Weller chuckles] Somewhere peaceful. My team knows. Sarah knows. Taylor's family is gone now. And so is her killer. So I don't see what good the truth will do anyone else. So let the horror of what my father did die with him.
[as Weller tears up]

[Jane Doe tells Agent Weller that she misses being Taylor Shaw]
Jane Doe : [Jane pauses] I miss her.
Kurt Weller : You didn't know her, Jane.
Jane Doe : No, I mean, I... I miss being her. And maybe that's a horrible thing to say to you, but we're trying to be honest with each other now, right? Well, that's the truth. I miss being Taylor Shaw. And I understand you not wanting to be in the same room with me because if I were you, I would hate me, too.
Kurt Weller : I don't ha... I don't hate you, Jane. I just don't know who you are anymore.
Jane Doe : Yeah, well, that makes two of us.
-
[Agent Naz asks Jane Doe if she still thinks they're the bad guys]
Nas Kamal : You still wondering who the good guys are? Look, it's true. Sandstorm helped us prevent a major disaster today. But every action that we take here creates massive ripples across the globe. Airline stocks plummeted. The gun-waltzing scandal put a chill on U.S.-Mexican relations. The Juarez cartel has been weakened, which strengthens its competitors. We have no idea why Sandstorm wanted us to do this today.
Jane Doe : So we can't see the complete picture yet.
Nas Kamal : Because your family doesn't want us to. Ask yourself why that is.

[Agent Zapata gives Jane Doe some antibiotic ointment for her gunshot wound]
Tasha Zapata : Antibiotic ointment with a painkiller. No such thing as a minor gunshot wound. They all hurt like hell.
Jane Doe : [Jane gasps in pain] Thank you.
Tasha Zapata : [Zapata pauses] Sorry I shot you.
Jane Doe : I did ask for it.
Tasha Zapata : Yeah. You kind of did.

[last lines]
Jane Doe : [Jane sees the flashback of talking to Roman] You're my starting point.
