[ sighs ] you know, simon and vasquez aren't the only ones in here with a secret. i'm not a trainee. i'm a special agent who was assigned to quantico to work undercover. and i can tell you that vasquez and simon deserve to be here because of their secrets, because of their rage. vasquez, what you've done for your daughter -- it's that fight that is gonna drive you to be a great agent. and, simon, when you threw me against a wall,

and i saw the soldier inside of you, i saw that pain, and i get it. you know, we've all made mistakes. we all have secrets. but everybody here -- every single one of you -- has earned the right to serve. thank you, special agent booth. you can take your seats. everyone in this room volunteered to put their duty ahead of their conscience. what we do when we follow orders may not always be fair, and it may not always be right. but it is what is asked of us, and it is what we have to live with. natalie vasquez, will you please step forward? natalie, the board has decided that you are fit

and now you're gonna help me get rid of those doubts once and for all. so, is everyone freaking out about the agent in their midst? i did always think it was weird how good you were at everything.
