- Bob Young: Let's first see if we, as a newsroom, can't rectify the situation, shall we? Uh, okay, everyone, let's divide the office into quadrants and do outward sweeps using this as a center point. Operation Find Hairy Potter is in effect.
- Ezra Fisher: Unfortunately, what you describe in Gloria's case isn't unusual, and as you saw today, even when police catch the bad guys, prosecutors drop the ball. The system grinds down even idealistic prosecutors. There's just too many cases. Thousands. The system fails women, especially Native women.
- Austin Greene: Any idea why Green would be trekking here from DC?
- Corey: No. Normally when the Secretary of Defense comes, we get a heads up.
- Austin Greene: How much?
- Corey: A week, maybe two.
- Austin Greene: Okay, off the record, you must be hearing something.
- Corey: Radio silence.
- Austin Greene: But completely off the record?
- Corey: The vibe's been weird on base all week.
- Austin Greene: What do you mean?
- Corey: It's like... everyone's tense, man. I don't know what it is, but you can feel it.
- Austin Greene: Because Green's coming?
- Corey: Even before the news broke.
- Austin Greene: Has it been like this before?
- Corey: Last time it was like this was two years ago. Two Su-57s and a Blackjack bomber penetrated our Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone. We had to scramble our F-22s.
- Austin Greene: Jesus.
- Corey: We're on the front lines. With climate change, melting the ice caps, the arctic's up for grabs. The Russians are testing us.I gotta go prepare for this briefing.
- Secretary Raymond Green: Be seated. At ease. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. Approximately 155 years ago, Secretary of State William Seward purchased Alaska from Russia. This deal was anything but folly. From Alaska, we can get our forces anywhere in the northern hemisphere in 10 hours. That means that every soldier and airman here is a guardian of and a first responder to the entire free world. As our enemies encroach and the Arctic melts, Alaska Command has never been more important or more vital to our homeland defense. The words spoken by General Billy Mitchell in 1935 have never been truer than they are today... Whoever holds Alaska will hold the world. And we intend to hold Alaska for another 155 years... and beyond!
