Colm Feore: Henry Taylor

Quotes 

• President Allison Taylor : [after entering the room]  what's going on?

  Henry Taylor : Olivia wouldn't say until you got here

  Olivia Taylor : [to her mother]  you'll understand what I tell you is going to be hard enough to say once

  President Allison Taylor : I'm listening, what's this about?

  Olivia Taylor : Jonas Hodges is dead because of me

  President Allison Taylor : Oh, don't tell me you were the one who "leaked" the information?

  Olivia Taylor : It's worse than that

  Henry Taylor : Olivia, talk to us

  Olivia Taylor : [to her father]  he killed Roger

  Olivia Taylor : [to her mother]  Hodges killed my brother and then you agreed to put him into witness protection and the thought of him getting away was too for me so I called Martin Collier. He once told me he knew someone who could do this kind of "thing"

  President Allison Taylor : Your saying Collier hired someone to kill Jonas Hodges?

  Olivia Taylor : No, I did. I tried calling it off but it was too late and everything happened so fast

  Henry Taylor : Olivia... who else knows about this?

  Olivia Taylor : Ethan, he has a recording of my conversation with Martin: his agreed not to turn it over to the Attorney General. He says he'll respect what you decide to do with the evidence. Mom, say something

  President Allison Taylor : [Stands ups and grabs her, yells]  how could you do this? How could you do something so stupid?

  Olivia Taylor : I'm sorry, I tried calling it off, I swear...

  President Allison Taylor : [Interrupts her]  it doesn't matter darling, it happened

  Henry Taylor : For God's sake Alison, stop yelling at her: Hodges killed our son

  President Allison Taylor : I know what he did

  Henry Taylor : Then you know if anyone deserves to die is him. All you should be thinking about now is how to protect our daughter

  President Allison Taylor : Protect her? How?

  Henry Taylor : Destroy that recording

  President Allison Taylor : And cover up a murder? Henry, I just can't "disregard" the law

  Henry Taylor : Alison, spare me your sanctimony. Your Olivia's mother

  President Allison Taylor : I'm also the President of the United States

  Henry Taylor : And our family's already paid a steep enough price for that

  President Allison Taylor : What are you saying Henry?

  Henry Taylor : You know exactly what I'm saying: your "job" cost our son's life

  President Allison Taylor : That is a cruel thing to say. I couldn't have done anything to prevent Roger's death

  Henry Taylor : You can do "something" about this. For God's sake Alison, we've already lost one child
