Designated Survivor (TV Series)

Two Ships (2017)

Geoff Pierson: Cornelius Moss

Quotes 

• Cornelius Moss : Let me get this straight. Not only have we not arrested those responsible for Thorn's murder, but now you're telling me that her aide has been kidnapped.

  Hannah Wells : We have forensics examining the video for clues, sir.

  Cornelius Moss : Well, I can tell you what they're going to find. Nothing. Because these people are two steps ahead of us.

  Damian Rennett : One person, sir. We believe Catherine Cray is responsible for everything. The arms smuggling, the murder of Charlotte Thorn, the kidnapping.

  Hannah Wells : And if we don't extradite Cray's husband to Malaysia, Peyton Lane is dead.

  Cornelius Moss : Malaysia's out of the question.

  Damian Rennett : They have jurisdiction, sir. The weapons on board Darius Cray's ship were earmarked for Malaysia.

  Cornelius Moss : Yes, but there's a reason why Catherine wants her husband tried there. The Crays have big holdings in east Asia.

  Hannah Wells : Meaning Darius is looking at slap on the wrist.

  Cornelius Moss : House arrest; one year tops, if I had to guess, instead of the fifty he'd get stateside for arms trafficking. No, I'm afraid that extradition is out of the question for this president.

  Hannah Wells : So we need to find Peyton Lane.

  Cornelius Moss : Before the press gets wind of the kidnapping, and before Cray kills her.
