Damian Thomas : I know y'all got a job to do, but this story gets old. Rich white guy gets shot, cops go nuts, start rounding up innocent Black men. The FBI gets involved.
Special Agent Stuart Scola : Okay. A United States congressman was murdered. This country is at a tipping point.
Damian Thomas : And yet five miles away in his own district, the murders of young Black men barely register, so forgive me if I'm not shedding any tears for this two-faced politician.

Special Agent Stuart Scola : We got the shooter, saved a life. Maybe two.
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : Yeah. I know. I'm supposed to feel good. What DHS was doing was wrong... in my book, at least, and... I still went over there and I used their information.
Special Agent Stuart Scola : *We* still ran over there and used the information.
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : Yeah. We didn't have a choice. But that is such crap... 'cause we do... have a choice. And today we chose to do what was convenient. I guess what I mean is that... you don't get to pick and choose when to have integrity; when to stand up for what's right, you know? When to be the kind of Black woman you want to be.
Special Agent Stuart Scola : Look, I get it. I do. And the truth is that sometimes there's a cost to victory. But that doesn't mean that it's not a victory.

Special Agent Stuart Scola : Thomas' alibi checks out. Security footage from the restaurant confirms that he was having dinner when Reed was shot.
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : NYPD says Marcus Ervin was shot last night in Brooklyn around 10:00 p.m. while he was standing in the doorway of his ground-floor apartment after a rock came crashing through his window.
Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille : Same M.O. as Reed.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : They run the ballistics yet?
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : It's the same gun.
Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille : All right, that's two murders within three hours.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : That we know of. We could be looking at a killing spree.

Damian Thomas : You think I killed Logan Reed?
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : You stood outside his house last week with a gun yelling that he needed to disappear, so, yeah.
Damian Thomas : I admit I got carried away with that, but I didn't mean what I said. I don't even own a gun.
Special Agent Stuart Scola : All right, let's try this again. Maybe this time don't treat us like idiots.
Damian Thomas : [he's shown a camera still with said gun circled] Come on, man. I took that gun off a kid at the rally. He was a hothead. I don't stand for violence.
Special Agent Stuart Scola : Except for when you're making death threats.
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : Or someone throws a brick through the congressman's window.
Damian Thomas : The hothead did that. It's a good thing I took away his gun.
Special Agent Stuart Scola : You give it back to him?
Damian Thomas : I got rid of it at a gun buyback. I got the receipt, if it helps.
