Recap

At the Cincinnati Metropolitan Airport, the team returns from a Caribbean job. It didn’t go as planned and most of their equipment was lost. In the main terminal, Nate spots a woman with a cooler and realizes that she switched it for another one. As she makes a call, Nate approaches her and points out that she stole the cooler and swapped it with someone. However, he figures that someone put it up to her. The woman, Linda, tries to deny it and Nate tells her that he’s there to help her. Linda explains that she didn’t have a choice because the people responsible kidnapped her daughter Tanya, and forced her to steal a human heart. ..

Episode Quotes
Sophie: Well, that trip was a complete disaster.
Alec: It was a train wreck.
Eliot: No, it was a shipwreck, and you want to know how I know that? Because I was in the wreck.

Parker: Oh, I don't know what you're complaining about. I didn't even get to see the emerald.
Alec: Are you for real?
Eliot: Oh my god, for the last time, it's not an emerald. All right? It's an island. It's "The Emerald of the Caribbean."

Eliot: You carry high heels in your purse?
Sophie: I always travel with heels.

Eliot: Don't suppose you travel with handcuffs.
Sophie: No, not on this trip.

Sophie: Hey, you all right with this one?
Nate: What?
Sophie: Well, you said it yourself--a kid's life is at stake. You don't think that might get too personal?
Nate: Does it matter?

Alec: Look, man, this is like stone knives and bearskins, okay? Nobody's asking Eliot to fight a guy with a Nerf sword.
Eliot: Damascus, 2002.
Alec: Like you've been to Damascus.

Nate: I know what you're gonna say.
Sophie: I think you should have a drink.
Nate: Okay, I didn't know what you were gonna say.

Dean Chesney: I'm fighting for my life, Mr. Ford! What are you fighting for?
Nate: I am fighting for that 15-year-old boy that you're going to kill.
Dean Chesney: God helps those that help themselves.
Nate: And I help people who can't.

Dean Chesney: Well, Mr. Ford, it seems you've killed me after all.
Nate: Oh, I didn't kill you. God killed you. I just... made sure it took.



Cultural References
Alec: Look, man, this is like stone knives and bearskins, okay?

Spock uses the same phrase to describe 1930s electronic parts when making a crude computer, in the original Star Trek series episode "The City on the Edge of Forever."

Airport Intercom: Mr. Kirk Picard.

Kirk and Picard are the names of the captains in the first two Star Trek series. As established in previous episodes, Alec is a big Star Trek fan and Eliot, the one who sends the message, knows it.
