Glenn Morshower: Aaron Pierce

Quotes 

• Aaron Pierce : [while walking through the halls of the White House]  thank you again for coming

  Ethan Kanin : You can "thank" me by telling me what this is all about

  Aaron Pierce : Alright, sir but we don't have much time

  Ethan Kanin : You "implied" it has something to do with Olivia Taylor?

  Aaron Pierce : Yes sir, a few hours ago Jonas Hodges was killed outside FBI headquarters

  Ethan Kanin : My God

  Aaron Pierce : Authorities believe he was murdered to keep him implicating others who were involved in the bio weapon attacks but I "suspect" there may be another "scenario" and I have reason to believe Ms. Taylor "might" be involved

  Ethan Kanin : [Grabs him by the arm to pull him to the side to talk privately]  that is an outrageous accusation: Olivia's..."capable" of many things but I can't believe committing murder is one of them

  Aaron Pierce : Please just hear me out. After the President agreed to a witness protection deal for Mr. Hodges, Ms. Taylor made a comment to me about wanting to see Hodges dead

  Ethan Kanin : He was responsible for her brother's death: she was venting

  Aaron Pierce : I thought so too until she met in her office with an old colleague, a man named Martin Collier

  Ethan Kanin : I know Collier

  Aaron Pierce : And you know the sort of man he is?

  Ethan Kanin : I do but none of this constitutes "proof of complicity"

  Aaron Pierce : No sir, that's why I need you to access the digital recording to see if their actual conversation was recorded

  Ethan Kanin : You're asking me to break into in an office that is no longer mine and access classified recordings of the Acting Chief of Staff

  Aaron Pierce : [Sternly]  "If" my suspicions prove correct, "you" of all people understand how grave these consequences will be. Sir, Ms. Taylor's "behavior" over the last several hours has been erratic at best. Now she's with the investors from the Justice Department right now, we don't have much time. Sir, I need you to decide if you're going to help me
