Quotes
-
Paul Krendler : [watching Ruth Martin's press conference] They're talking she might run for governor down here. So it has to be a nuanced resolution, not rolling in the tanks.
Shaan Tripathi : What if Novak decides to start World War III with Starling in there?
-
Paul Krendler : Lucas Novak, standard-issue country gentlemen, described as charismatic. Novak leads a group that calls themselves the Statesmen. Started off as a hillbilly rehab clinic and somehow turned into a heavily-armed secessionist militia who want to form their own state within Tennessee. The Statesmen shot an ATF agent serving a search warrant. He's in stable condition, but now we're in the middle of a standoff. So, let me address the elephant in the room. This won't be another Waco. Those of us who were there know it was a cluster seven different ways. This is Tennessee. It's the AG's home state, and she sent ViCAP. We want the weapons, we want the shooter, we want to make it home. Good?
-
Paul Krendler : When we get back to Washington, I'm gonna formally request your transfer off of ViCAP.
Clarice Starling : Yes, sir.
Paul Krendler : Clarke.
Murray Clarke : Yeah.
Paul Krendler : You're on Starling. Have her set up cell towers. Keep her away from the press.
[to Clarice]
Paul Krendler : You went wildly off-script at the press conference. The only reason you're here is because I don't trust you out of my sight. If you can't follow orders, you're gonna get somebody killed today.
-
Murray Clarke : They made an arrest.
Shaan Tripathi : Yeah, whoever they're serving up is a patsy.
Murray Clarke : We only got the shooter 'cause we agreed to pull out.
Paul Krendler : We cannot leave while Novak's in there with a bunch of women and a kid.
Ruth Martin : Sherriff Rowan is wired deep down here. We have to be strategic. We're not escalating. Pull the team out.
Paul Krendler : Ma'am?
Ruth Martin : Do you want another Waco? Do it.
