* DealWithTheDevil: For a certain degree of "devil," of course. Sterling claims he'll let Nate go if Nate a) brings Kadjic out where he can be caught, and b) turns in his team. Nate rigs a different one in his favor - he destroys all the evidence the FBI has on Kadjic, so that Nate's testimony is the only way they have to put Kadjic away.


Added DiffLines:

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Nate takes a bullet in the gut. It doesn't seem like the others even notice, because he holds it together so well. Subverted in that he collapses almost immediately after they're gone.
