Tony Almeida : [while in his office] so, what was that about?
Michelle Dessler : What?
Tony Almeida : You and Carrie: what were you arguing about?
Michelle Dessler : It's nothing. I asked her to open some CPD software and she's making me "jump through hoops"
Tony Almeida : I know you don't want to tell me, but whatever bad blood there's between the two of you, I got to know what it is
Michelle Dessler : It doesn't matter, especially with everything going on today
Tony Almeida : That's exactly why it does matter. It's interfering with your work, now what's the problem?
Michelle Dessler : When I worked with Carrie over at Division, we were friends. I introduced her to my brother, he was married with kids. He left them for her, then she got bored, and she dumped him. Danny lost everything, his family, his job, and it got so bad he tried to kill himself

Tony Almeida : Carrier's going to be fine
Michelle Dessler : [Referring to Danny grabbing her neck] is she going to press charges?
Tony Almeida : No, I don't think so
Michelle Dessler : It's all my fault. I should've seen it coming
Tony Almeida : Its family, it happens
Michelle Dessler : His my brother, maybe I should've told him about the bomb
Tony Almeida : It was a tough choice, by the way you were right
Michelle Dessler : [becoming upset] nothing I've done today is "right", all these people today and this recording if we're right about that. I can't do this anymore
Tony Almeida : [Slowly hugs her] come on, come here
Michelle Dessler : I'm so tired. I'm so scared
