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.

Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : All right, folks, here's the question: how did a progressive ally like Logan Reed end up in the crosshairs of a minority protest group?
Ian Lim : Well, the protest at Reed's house was organized by Damian Thomas, a community activist who lives in Reed's district, but he despises him. Called him "the worst kind of racist, a white liberal hypocrite who co-opted the civil rights movement for his personal gain."
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : That's pretty harsh. Next question is why did Thomas feel this way?
Ian Lim : Well, before he ran for Congress, Reed was a prosecutor known for being tough on crime.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : Right, so Thomas thought he was a hypocrite. One minute, he's putting young Black men in prison, the next, he's out on the streets protesting with Black activists.
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : And he was preaching all his newfound wokeness from his big-ass pad in the suburbs.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : And that. Would Damian Thomas really kill over all this?

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.
