Designated Survivor (TV Series)

The Confession (2016)

Jake Epstein: Chuck Russink

Quotes 

• Hannah Wells : Show me that front angle of MacLeish again.

  Chuck Russink : Uh, what are you looking for?

  Hannah Wells : An explanation for why a thousand people are dead, Chuck.

• Hannah Wells : Who's the woman with the camera?

  Chuck Russink : I don't know.

  Hannah Wells : Check the seating chart, and then I want you to download the contents of her cloud. I want to see every photo she took that night. Maybe she got something during those missing thirty-four seconds.

  Chuck Russink : You want me to hack a dead woman's phone without an Order to Compel?

  Hannah Wells : It'll take too long.

  Chuck Russink : Not gonna make these people any deader.

  Hannah Wells : Chuck, the greatest act of terrorism since 9/11 was just perpetrated on our soil, and I need to know what happened. And if we don't play dirty, we don't stand a chance. Do it.

• Hannah Wells : First you get me in trouble, now you want to help me?

  Chuck Russink : Truth is, I never liked Orders to Compel, and I think you're kind of badass.

  Hannah Wells : What do you got?

  Chuck Russink : Okay, so I hacked the woman's cloud, and you were right. She took two photos between the time the feed cut and the time of the explosion.

  Hannah Wells : The missing thirty-four seconds?

  Chuck Russink : Yeah.

  Hannah Wells : Show me.

  Chuck Russink : [cropping a picture]  And Congressman MacLeish in his seat...

  Hannah Wells : Chuck, I've seen this.

  Chuck Russink : Wait for it. This photo was taken six seconds later.

  [he crops the second picture, showing MacLeish's seat empty] 

  Chuck Russink : I can't tell you what happened that night, how they did it, why. But I can tell you MacLeish survived...

  Hannah Wells : Because he wasn't there.
