WALSH: I'm sure you'll understand if I seem far from happy.

RILEY: Yes, ma'am. If you read my report you'll see--

WALSH: Hostile 17's found an accomplice who's smart, aggressive, and somehow escapes description.

FORREST: Whoever he was, the guy was big.

GRAHAM: Strong, too.

RILEY: Whoever... Or whatever.

WALSH: I'm not interested in guess work, gentlemen. Call me old-fashioned. I like results. This report reads like a child's riddle book. Agent Finn, tell me something good. My implant?

RILEY: The implant works. Hostile 17 can't harm any living creature, In any way, without intense neurological pain. We'll bag it.

WALSH: Yes, you will. Dismissed.
