Notes

At the end of this episode, Mark's girlfriend Laura is found dead in a meat freezer. We never find out who killed her or who stole the bearer bonds. Rose said it was Mark, but that turned out to be not true. (edit)
This is the episode where Harvey's car gets killed, RIP!. (edit)

Quotes

(After Nash let Rose go)
Caitlin: How many people oer the years have escaped your custody?
Nash: Not many.
Caitlin: How many?
Nash: You'd have to check with the records keeper. I don't keep track of stuff like that.
Caitlin: Mmhmm. Two, I checked.
Nash: Two, huh?
Caitlin: You know, I was wondering with a record like that, how it is that a 115 pound white collar criminal riding in with you in your 'cuda on her way back to prison manages to give you the slip?
Nash: You were wondering that, huh?
Caitlin: Uh-huh.
Nash: Don't you have enough to do already? (she smiles and walks away) (edit)
Nash: Well, I had no idea that you were gonna be an assaian and a sabatoer.
Caitlin: Nash, all I did was tell her my expierences and I answered her questions, okay?
Nash: Did you happen to mention to Cassidy that your finacee was murdered by your former boss?
Caitlin: It didn't come up.
Nash: Oh, it just slipped your mind?
Caitlin: It never seemed appropiate.
Nash: Well, yeah, because it is very inappropiate to murder someone, that's why it shoulda came up.
Caitlin: You know what? It's not my fault. She just seemed so gung-ho. The girl just wants to kick some butt.
Nash: I know.
Caitlin: Do you have any idea where she might have got that from?
Nash: No, none. And thank you very much. (edit)
(They are at the shooting range. Nash is looking at Cassidy's results)
Nash: That's pretty damn excellent.
Cassidy: Yeah, well, I had a pretty good teacher. (Nash laughs) Look, dad, I know why you brought me down here. (sighs) To get this urge for adventure outta my system.
Nash: If I told you it was 'cause we haven't been shooting in awhile would you believe me?
Cassidy: No.
Nash: You know what? Join the C.I.A, sign up for as many years as they'll take 'ya.
Cassidy: You know, dad, this whole reverse psycology thing, it's not gonna work.
Nash: Did you talk to Caitlin?
Cassidy: Yeah, I did and it was good. She encouraged me that this could be a very good job to take.
Nash: Caitlin Cross? About this high? (motions with his hand) Auburn hair, blue eyes, kind of pretty?
Cassidy: Yeah, why?
Nash: She's dead.
Cassidy: Dad, why? What do you have against this? Give me one good reason.
Nash: I don't want you involved in anything that some Washington jerk-off can decide that the life of a mission is more important than yours. That's reasons one, two and three. (edit)
(Nash gives Caitlin a donut and coffee)
Nash: Hi.
Caitlin: After what you pulled, uh-uh. I don't think so.
Nash: C'mon. That's the best donut in the box. You know how many cops I had to fight for that?
Caitlin: You don't like donuts.
Nash: I hate donuts. That one's for you.
Caitlin: What do you want?
Nash: Uh, a little favor.
Caitlin: Uh-huh.. and you think you buy with a donut?
Nash: Not usually.
Caitlin: Uh-huh.
Nash: This one just concerns Cassidy.
Caitlin: Oh, well, for Cassiy I'll accept the bribe.
Nash: She's got it in her head somehow she wants to join the CIA.
Caitlin: And you want me to talk her out of it?
Nash: No, no, no. You just have to give her your expierence. I'm sure she'll be able to figure out how bad is on her own.
Caitlin: Mmhmm. And why can't you tell her all this?
Nash: She's not gonna listen to me. I'm her father, she's programmed to do the exact opposite of what I say.
Caitlin: Well, maybe it's uh, the way you say it. Did you ever tink of that?
Nash: I will if you do the favor.
Caitlin: Alright, I've been meaning to have lunch with Caissidy anyway.
Nash (kisses her head): You're the greatest. (edit)
(Cassidy is thinking about joining the CIA)
Cassidy: I came down here to ask for your opinion, Dad.
Nash: You want my opinion? You're not doing this.
Cassidy: I can't take this. I really can't take this. (starts walking away)
Nash: Cassidy don't sign anything. (she keeps walking) Cassidy! (to himself) I'm havin' a boy next time. (edit)
