Mark McConville: Zach Riley

Quotes 

• Zach Riley : I wanted to topple the government. I didn't want to hurt civilians. I knew there'd be casualties, but not like this.

  Kurt Weller : Does the satellite control the weapon?

  Patterson : Kinetic bombardment. The satellite is the weapon. Shepherd plans to bomb D.C., doesn't she?

  Jane Doe : [Riley gives a small nod]  How?

  Zach Riley : The satellite is designed to launch a glider at hypersonic speeds. It is undetectable, it's unstoppable, but it was only supposed to target the White House.

  Patterson : But now it's gonna hit Shepherd's nuclear material, which is probably already on the ground in Washginton.

  Kurt Weller : There's gotta be some way that we can stop it.

  Zach Riley : No. The glider has a guidance chip, but it can't be overwritten.

  Jane Doe : The chip I stole with Roman.

  Patterson : If Shepherd has as much nuclear material as we're thinking, evacuating the White House does nothing. This attack will wipe out the whole Eastern seaboard.
