Quotes 

• Ethan Kanin : The digital card you confiscated from me earlier was blank, I gave the real one to Agent Pierce

  Olivia Taylor : How long have you've known Aaron?

  Aaron Pierce : I've had my suspicions ma'am but I was "hoping" I was wrong

  Aaron Pierce : [to Ethan]  I'll wait outside sir

  Olivia Taylor : [Referring to the recording]  this doesn't tell the "whole story"

  Ethan Kanin : It sounds pretty clear to me. Hodges is dead: you're responsible

  Olivia Taylor : I know but I tried to stop it from happening

  Ethan Kanin : Oh, save it, Olivia, you can't talk your way out of the situation. Not this time

  Olivia Taylor : Alright, Ethan, you win. I'll resign, come up with some excuse you can have your job back and everything will go...

  Ethan Kanin : [Interrupts her, raises his voice]  this isn't about getting my job back. It's about the "truth"

  Olivia Taylor : The "truth" can destroy my mother's Administration

  Ethan Kanin : I am fully aware of the "implications" if this goes public: you don't have to spell them out for me

  Olivia Taylor : Then what do you want?

  Ethan Kanin : For the President to take the next step, whether she decides to prosecute or bury it, it's her call. But she needs to know the "truth", I'll let you tell her yourself

• 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

• Olivia Taylor : Olivia, come and sit down

  Olivia Taylor : I can't

  President Allison Taylor : [after entering the room, kisses Henry then hugs Olivia]  I never imagined this job would be so hard on both of you. I had no idea the price this family would pay and for that I am so sorry but I have a sworn duty to enforce the Constitution and not fulfilling that oath would be the worst kind of hypocrisy. Olivia, I love you more than anything in this world and I will do everything I can to help you through this but as President this is what I have to do no matter how much it breaks my heart: Agent Pierce will remand you to federal custody

  Aaron Pierce : [to Olivia]  ma'am, I'm escorting you to the Justice Department where you will be held until formal charges are issued
