Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : It's over, Parker! We know everything! Now give us the antidote before it's too late!

  [Parker attacks her from behind and disarms her] 

  Kate Beckett : No, wait!

  Brad Parker : Did Reed wait when he ordered the strike? No. No, now it's his turn to see how it feels. She's gonna die. Just like Farrah.

  Kate Beckett : Please, Parker, she's not the only one that you've poisoned. My fiancé is dying. He needs that antidote.

  Brad Parker : No, you don't understand. You're too late. It's too late.

  Special Agent Rachel McCord : [appearing behind Parker with her gun drawn]  You'd better hope you're wrong.

• Brad Parker : First time I heard about Dreamworld was in '03. I was serving with the 173rd in Kandahar at the time. The story stuck with me, so, about a year ago I started poking around. Found out it was a forward operating base in northern Afghanistan. Launching pad for covert special ops in the region.

  Kate Beckett : Did Bronson work at that base?

  Brad Parker : Yeah. Yeah, I'd heard his name a couple of times, so I approached him.

  Rachel McCord : And what'd he tell you?

  Brad Parker : Nothing at all. In fact, he seemed pretty freaked out that I knew he was stationed there. Asked me how much I knew. About him, Dreamworld. About what he'd done.

  Kate Beckett : Wait, wait. W-What did he mean by that?

  Brad Parker : He never told me. Whatever it was, he sure as hell didn't want it getting out... Next thing I know, my editor's killing the story. At the personal request of Defense Secretary Reed.

  Kate Beckett : These conversations that you had with Bronson, did he ever mention the word "Valkyrie"?

  Brad Parker : No, why? What's Valkyrie?

  Rachel McCord : Wait... The Secretary of Defense *himself* called to kill the story? That's unusual.

  Brad Parker : Try unheard of. But I'm guessing that the subject matter struck a nerve. Look, prior to his appointment as Secretary of Defense, General Reed... was in charge of Central Command, which ran all missions out of Dreamworld.

  Kate Beckett : Are you suggesting that the Secretary of Defense is hiding something?

  Brad Parker : You have another explanation?
