Recap

In the Ganwar region of Somalia, Demetri, Janis, Simon, and Vogel fly in by helicopter, posing as Red Panda workers. Their guide, Awaale, offers lessons in Somali. Janis isn't happy that her plans to become pregnant were interrupted by Vogel. They land and Simon asks Vogel for a gun, but the CIA agent refuses, saying they have Marines providing security...

Episode Quotes
Simon: Going into Somalia without a gun is like scuba diving without an oxygen tank.

Mark: Meanwhile, everything we know about (Gibbons) is coming to a head, and all we've got are blind alleys and cryptic messages. What the hell am I supposed to do with that, huh?
Stan: Be like Hercules and slay the beast.

Bryce: No, seriously, that's... that's the most difficult thing about becoming a doctor, is picking the right name. I mean, take me, for instance. My real name is Marvin Goathead.
Nicole: You're an idiot.
Bryce: Really. Martin Goathead.
Nicole: Yeah, I think I like "Bryce Varley" better.
Bryce: Ah, of course you do. It sounds rugged. It's, like, a guy who eats protein bars and climbs mountains--"Dr. Bryce Varley."

Mark: Three-bedroom colonial with a sunporch.
Olivia: That's right.
Mark: In Denver.
Olivia: It's where we could go--Denver.
Mark: Mm-hmm. Big fan of the omelet.
Olivia: It's one hell of an omelet.

Abdi Khalif: People who live in Heaven shouldn't judge those who live in Hell.

Abdi Khalif: You are not afraid of death.
Demetri: I've gotten used to it.

Abdi Khalif: Devil or no, it is an evil place. But there is one thing that can push a man more than fear.
Demetri: What's that?
Abdi Khalif: Destiny.

Janis: You look like you've seen a ghost.
Simon: It's entirely the opposite. What I designed was theoretical. It could only be done in the future, and yet it's been standing here for 18 years.
Janis: Welcome to the future.

Janis: It's so stupid. I just saw a mass grave, and all I can think about is a mythical baby.
Demetri: Grave, the baby... you're having a circle of life moment, right? You know, the weekend's not over. (they laugh) I'm just saying, if it's baby-making you need, I will take one for the team.
Janis: Okay, first of all, no offense, but that's kind of gross.
Demetri: What?
Janis: Second of all, that's, like, 1,000% wrong.
Demetri: Desperate times.
Janis: I'm gay.
Demetri: I will make you gayer.

Dyson Frost: Hello, Demetri. My name is Dyson Frost, and I'm recording this message in 1991. Got your attention, didn't I?
