Game On

Homeland 3×4

& Saul: Don’t smile yet. Right now it’s just a theory.

& Honorable Special Justice Robert Strauss: I’m inclined to agree with you, Counselor, but Ms. Mathison signed away some of her Constitutional protections when she went to work for the CIA.
    Counselor: Is that true?
    Carrie: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, among others.

& Counselor: Well, do we at least have the right to appeal?
    Strauss: Frankly, I don’t know.
    Counselor: What do you mean, you don’t know?
    Strauss: This is a new one for me, too, Counselor. Ms. Mathison, I am sorry. But you’ve been designated a security risk. My hands are tied.

& Carrie: How did you arrange my release?
    Franklin: A judge we know, who, by the way, is more than willing to make it permanent.
    Carrie: In exchange for...?
    Franklin: A sit-down with one of the partners in the firm.
    Carrie: That’s all? Nothing’s that easy.

& Saul: Find her. Get her off the street.

& Virgil: You are radioactive, Carrie.

& Dana: ’In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
                a stately pleasure dome decree
                where Alf The Sacred River ran
                through caverns measureless to man
                down to a sunless sea.’

& Dana: We’re here... because this is where it happened. The last true statement he ever said to me.
    Leo: Which was?
    Dana: “Good-bye.” Everything after that was a lie.

& Carrie: I’m not going to jail.
    Bennett: It seems to me you’re already there.

& Carrie: I won’t do it. Iran was behind the Langley bombing.
    Bennett: Which they carried out in retaliation for Israeli air strikes on their nuclear facilities.
    Carrie: I reject the comparison.
    Bennett: Why? It’s one military target for another. Iran takes great care in its proportional response to acts of aggression. An airliner for an airliner, a Mossad agent for a physicist...
Ω Such an agenda here.

& Bennett: You familiar with the term “Controversialize”?.. Well, that’s what they’re doing to you. They’re turning you into the story. ... Pretty soon, it’s not a story about a terrorist attack anymore or how the people meant to protect us screwed up. It’s about you. It’s about sex between a bipolar CIA officer and her brainwashed boyfriend.

& Carrie: I’m not a traitor.
    Bennett: No. What you are is a liability to a lot of people who’ve got a lot to lose.

& Bennett: Let us help you, Carrie.

& Bennett: Think of it this way. Maybe you two can find some common ground. Put the world right. Save us all.

& Carrie: It worked, Saul.

& Saul: You’re an amazing person, Carrie Mathison. Amazing.
