I asked Oksana how does she move forward. She told me that everyone is a hunter. Some hunt for love, some hunt for independence or for a sense of purpose. Some simply hunt for the truth. She said we shouldn’t be afraid of the hunt wherever it takes us or whatever it makes us. Find what matters and keep hunting.

Emily

Emily: Why did you kill all of those people?
Rex: Mistakes were made. They had to be cleaned up.
Emily: Am I a part of the cleanup?
Rex: I wasn’t ordered to kill you.
Emily: And who ordered you? Who do you work for? Night Watch?
Rex: You came all the way out here. Your own backyard’s a mess.
Emily: What does that mean? What the hell does that mean?
Rex: You really should lie down now.
Emily: The woman on the subway was my mother.
Rex: I’m sorry.

Oksana: Why are you here?
Emily: To find a killer.
Oksana: There are so many of them here.
Emily: This one murdered a lot of people.
Oksana: Justice. Good reason.
Emily: And my mother.
Oksana: Even better reason.

Don’t get too attached. Some things tend to be deal breakers.

Holt

Holt: If there’s one thing I’ve learned out here, patriotism is for suckers.
Cal: Bullshit. You’ve got a bald eagle tattoo on your back.
Holt: Had. Now I got a parrot drinking a margarita.

Erica: If you don’t let that wall down just a little bit then you’re going to come across as a cardboard stiff to every living room in America. Be vulnerable.
Nick: That’s extremely easy for you to say, you weren’t there.
Erica: Exactly. Take me there. Take America there.
