Quotes 

• William Bishop : You don't like me, do you?

  [Mel shakes her head] 

  William Bishop : Yeah. Well, what I'm about to tell you isn't gonna change that. I've done everything I can think of, and I can't get him out. But there is a path if he would choose it.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : You want him to go back to Military Intelligence?

  William Bishop : I am confident that if he would do that...

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : He won't.

  William Bishop : Then convince him.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : To be someone he's not? To go against every fiber of his moral being because it's convenient?

  William Bishop : Mel, this is his last shot. All this martyrdom stuff, "values his soul over his freedom." I don't even know what that means. It's foolish.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : Don't. It's not foolish. Not to him. It's who he is. It's the reason why he took the risk to help you in the first place. It's why I love him.

  William Bishop : Well, I wish I could help him, but I can't. I'm sorry.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : Yeah. Me, too.

• Robyn McCall : There's no way Pedro could have walked out of that group home by himself. He had to be escorted out. And Yardley didn't have the authority.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : But an ICE agent does.

  Robyn McCall : And I'm willing to bet that he's Yardley's partner. I saw one fitting that description at the emergency shelter.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : I think I found him. Agent Ike Deleo.

  Robyn McCall : [seeing his picture]  That's him.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : Crestfield's Group Home is in his jurisdiction.

  Robyn McCall : All he'd have to do is produce papers saying a kid was being deported. Director wouldn't give it a second thought. Then he could just walk out with a kid, no questions asked.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : Okay. So how do we figure out where Deleo took Pedro?

  Robyn McCall : We track his movements.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : Well, that might be a little bit above my skill level.

  Robyn McCall : [offering a flash drive]  This isn't.

  Melody 'Mel' Bayani : A flash drive?

  Robyn McCall : Not as cool as hacking traffic cams, but... it'll do the job.
