Quotes 

• Deputy Director Bell : Ricardo Diaz was just arrested, now you two want to set him free. What the hell is going on here?

  John Diggle : My apologies for not looping you in sooner, sir. Director Michaels and I were in the process of reinstating the Ghost Initiative, and Mr. Diaz here was our first potential recruit.

  Deputy Director Bell : What's that?

  Lyla Michaels : [alarmed, but playing along]  A defunct A.R.G.U.S. program that employed expendable criminals for covert operations. It was scrubbed shortly after my predecessor died.

  Deputy Director Bell : And you think it's a good idea to bring it back?

  Lyla Michaels : Are you questioning my decision, Deputy Director?

  Deputy Director Bell : Of course not, Madam Director. That kind of radical, out-of-the-box approach is exactly the shot in the arm A.R.G.U.S. needs. I'm sure the Pentagon will be very excited to hear about this.

• John Diggle : Hey.

  [Lyla ignores him] 

  John Diggle : You are still upset.

  Lyla Michaels : Damn right. You had no right to make that call.

  John Diggle : You're right, it is way above my pay grade, but it worked out for us.

  Lyla Michaels : Is this your version of an apology?

• Lyla Michaels : I am the one who shut down the Ghost Initiative, and I swore never to reinstate it. You knew that.

  John Diggle : I know that, but you would have absolute oversight and zero accountability. This is the perfect cover for our operation. Lyla, we had to do something to get Diaz to play ball.

  Lyla Michaels : Which you did, by undermining my authority and forcing my hand. And here I thought I was the one in danger of becoming Amanda Waller.

• Ricardo Diaz : There he is. The man himself. You think you're gonna be the one? Get me to tell?

  John Diggle : Let me make one thing clear, Ricardo. You *will* tell us, exactly what we need to know.

  Ricardo Diaz : A little good cop. Huh. Bad cop? I've beaten that game before.

  John Diggle : I'm not here to play any games with you. I'm here to offer you a deal.

  Lyla Michaels : [watching outside]  John... what are you doing?
