While there were compelling arguments on both sides, I'm ruling in favor of your task force, assistant director Cooper. It's clear to me that the safety and security reasons for keeping your records internal far outweigh any benefits Congress might receive from making them public.

Herbie: Two warring families? Poison? Murder? This case is straight out of my book club.
Ressler: Wait, you're in a book club that's reading Romeo and Juliet?

Liz: Are you my father?
Red: No.

We can do this.

Liz

I don't know, Tom. From where I'm sitting, you look like the bitch to me.

Liz

You're working with Berlin?
