Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Mary Campbell : I've put the full weight of the Justice Department behind this operation. We'll have eyes, ears and GPS on Director Munsey 24-7. He will have no ability to contact anyone by any means at any time. He will have no access to anything with a signal or anything that could be used as a communication device of any kind. We'll give him the appearance of freedom, monitoring him discreetly, so no one other than him will know. Mr. President, I assure you that Director Munsey won't be able to renew a magazine subscription, much less reach out to his co-conspirators.

  President Conrad Dalton : And we're sure we're on solid legal footing here?

  Mary Campbell : Munsey admitted plotting an illegal coup against Iran, in direct violation of Executive Order 12-triple-three. We have 72 hours to do what we please.

  President Conrad Dalton : Then the firing squad... It's still available to me, isn't it, Mary?
