Quotes 

• Olivia Taylor : [after knocking on her door]  come in

  Aaron Pierce : Excuse me

  Olivia Taylor : What is it?

  Aaron Pierce : The Attorney General asked me to check in with you: his waiting for you to sign off on a document, I was told you were reviewing?

  Olivia Taylor : Anyone happen to mention to you what document is about?

  Aaron Pierce : No ma'am

  Olivia Taylor : No, I imagine they wouldn't: it's a secret, highly classified, not that I give a damn. It's a "get out of jail free card" for Jonas Hodges, the bastard responsible for my brother's death, and so many others

  Aaron Pierce : I don't understand ma'am, Mr. Hodges "died" in a hospital

  Olivia Taylor : I wish that were the case but no and once the AG signs this Witness Protect Agreement, Hodges is going to live out his days in comfort and anonymity , while my brother lies in his grave in Arlington cemetery. Does that sound like "justice" to you?

  Aaron Pierce : No ma'am, it does not

  Olivia Taylor : And yet my mother saw fit to reward this monster for his cooperation

  Aaron Pierce : I'm sure it was a difficult decision for the President to make

  Olivia Taylor : Not difficult enough: my mother may be able to live with it but I'm not sure I can

  Aaron Pierce : [Slowly towards her]  I have seen the guilty walk free many times. I understand your anger and frustration and I am genuinely sorry

  Olivia Taylor : [Hands him the document]  tell the AG I've reviewed the agreement and we can move ahead

  Aaron Pierce : [Before leaving]  thank you ma'am
