Ben Lawson: Damian Rennett

Quotes 

• Chuck Russink : So, you must miss London, huh?

  Damian Rennett : Always.

  Chuck Russink : How long you here for?

  Damian Rennett : Well, that depends on Hannah. I can't tell my government the threat he posed is over until your government says it is. And you being the lead investigator, you're "your government".

  Hannah Wells : My government says to keep digging.

• Hannah Wells : It makes no sense.

  Damian Rennett : Nope.

  Hannah Wells : Lloyd's on the run for six months, and the last thing he does before he holes himself up in a bunker is trash the First Lady's mother's house? Why?

  Damian Rennett : Because he wanted to show your president that he could get to his family? Or - and, uh, just spitballing here - because he was a psychopath.

• Hannah Wells : Evidence Response Team tagged everything Lloyd touched.

  Damian Rennett : Why? He was throwing a tantrum.

  Hannah Wells : What if he wasn't? Whatever he did, he always had a method. Lloyd was meticulous. He cut a clear pathway through the house, and never doubled back.

  [they head upstairs] 

  Hannah Wells : Every drawer in here is tossed except for the desk.

  Damian Rennett : Did he run out of time?

  Hannah Wells : [searching the drawers]  Or he wanted to lead us here.

  [finding a manila envelope, she takes out the contents] 

  Hannah Wells : It's a medical record from 1987 for a heart transplant operation for Andrew Booker. That's the First Lady's father.

  Damian Rennett : Why would Mrs. Booker leave a thirty-year-old file just randomly lying on top?

  Hannah Wells : He left it here. He wasn't looking for something. He was leaving us something.

  Damian Rennett : But why would he give a toss about Andrew Booker's heart?

  Hannah Wells : I don't know. But I'm gonna find out.

• Damian Rennett : The First Lady's father died in 2002. Why would Lloyd leave us a breadcrumb trail to an old medical document?

  Hannah Wells : Because if we find it, it's evidence, and we're obligated to investigate it.

  Damian Rennett : Evidence of what? And that's assuming it's not a plant.

  Hannah Wells : There's only one way to find out. Ask the First Lady.

  Damian Rennett : What are you gonna tell her?

  Hannah Wells : As little as possible. I don't want to drag her into this if I'm following a Lloyd fabrication.

• Damian Rennett : I already reconnoitered the place. Crap security, and no one on site. You sure you don't want to go the subpoena route?

  Hannah Wells : Well, they're medical records. It would take months to get through the HIPPA regulations.

  Damian Rennett : The enduring charm of American bureaucracy. Let's head around back. I cut a hole in the fence.

  Hannah Wells : Oh, subpoena, huh?

  Damian Rennett : I didn't say I needed one.

• Damian Rennett : Hanging around with you should qualify me for hazard pay. I've been shot, knocked unconscious.

  Hannah Wells : Not stabbed, though.

  Damian Rennett : No, not yet.

• Damian Rennett : One-way ticket and twelve hours to leave the country? Your government's pretty ungrateful.

  Hannah Wells : Yeah. In England, you'd get a... a ceremony, right?

  Damian Rennett : In England, I'd be knighted.

  Hannah Wells : Well, we don't think much of burglars here, I guess.

  Damian Rennett : Yeah, well, I don't think much of not finishing a job.

  Hannah Wells : I'll keep you posted. Don't worry.

  Damian Rennett : [offering a handshake]  Wells.

  Hannah Wells : No, I'm gonna walk you out.

  Damian Rennett : I'm touched.

  Hannah Wells : Don't be. They wanted me to make sure you got in the cab.
