Glenn Morshower: Aaron Pierce

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

• 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
