Saul: What were his exact words, please? Carrie: An American prisoner of war has been turned. Saul: He said this in English? Carrie: Yes, he whispered it into my ear right before the guards pulled me away. Saul: Why would he use the expression "turned"? Carrie: He mentioned turned, working for Abu Nazir. Saul: Why am I just hearing about this now? Carrie: Because until ten minutes ago, I didn't know there were any POWs alive in Iraq or Afghanistan. Saul: So you're suggesting that Abu Nazir planted intelligence on his own safehouse just so we could recover Sergeant Brody? Carrie: I realize it sounds like a reach. Saul: To say the least. Why not just drop him near a checkpoint and make it look like he escaped? Why would you sacrifice thirteen trained fighters? Carrie: Because Abu Nazir is playing the long game. This way no one suspects a thing. Saul: Except you. Carrie: Yeah, except me!

Carrie: I-I'm just making sure we don't get hit again. Saul: Well, I'm glad someone's looking out for the country, Carrie. Carrie: I'm serious. I-I missed something once before, I won't... I can't let that happen again. Saul: It was ten years ago. Everyone missed something that day. Carrie: Yeah, everyone's not me.

Everyone lies in this business, I accept that. But we all draw lines somewhere, and the two sides of that line are us and them. And whatever we had you and I, whatever trust we built up over a decade of me protecting you and teaching you everything I know, you destroyed it when you lied to me and you treated me like them. Like every other schmuck in this building. So when you say you understand, is that what you mean? Is this interesting?

Brody: They want you to lose faith. Lose faith in your country, which they say is the devil. In your brother marines, who they say aren't coming for you because you have no military value. In your wife, who they say has got her arms wrapped around someone else. O'Donnell: How do you resist that? Brody: You can't. Except by believing that those people they want you to renounce, that they're keeping the faith in you and you owe it to them to do the same. O'Donnell: Semper fidelis.
