Quotes 

• Aaron Shore : [watching Kirkman's press conference]  The most powerful man in the world sucking up to the guy who lied to his face and tried to shake him down. You know what you call that?

  Lyor Boone : Leadership.

  Aaron Shore : Damn straight.

• Dr. Tammy Bruner : I read an abstract recently about an experimental cancer drug called Extasis with interesting antiviral properties that seem to reduce the ability of viruses with a genome similar to the H7N9 to replicate.

  Aaron Shore : So not a prevention, but a treatment. That sounds promising. Where do we get it?

  Dr. Tammy Bruner : A guy named Carlton Mackie. He heads this cutting-edge pharma firm in Delaware called Benevax.

  Emily Rhodes : We're on it.

  Dr. Tammy Bruner : Meantime, we need to widen the quarantine to neighboring counties. This thing's getting away from us.

• Emily Rhodes : We have a shot at containment because the area is so isolated. They didn't even have state roads in some parts until the '70s.

  Aaron Shore : The FAA shut down all airports in a 200 mile radius. Same for NHTSA and highways.

  Emily Rhodes : And I told Governor LaSalle that we're at his disposal.

  Tom Kirkman : Okay, good. Aaron, I'm gonna want you to be the liaison between the World Health Organization and the UN. We also need to notify the Canadian and Mexican authorities.

  Emily Rhodes : HHS has activated the Strategic National Stockpile of vaccines and antivirals, so hopefully one of them will match this flu strain.

  Tom Kirkman : Emily, bring Seth up to speed. As soon as word leaks out, panic's gonna spread like wildfire. Let's get on it.

• Aaron Shore : Ten more dead?

  Dr. Tammy Bruner : And eleven more in the ICU hanging on. The mortality rate of the patients in the hospital will be about 40%.

  Aaron Shore : Have we made any progress?

  Dr. Tammy Bruner : No. The viral gestation cycle is short. The patient's lungs are damaged, and the oxygen loss leads to organ failure.

  Emily Rhodes : What about our antiviral stockpile?

  Dr. Tammy Bruner : The South Carroll Parish strain is resistant.

  Aaron Shore : What about creating a new vaccine?

  Dr. Tammy Bruner : Even if you threw every brain from the CDC at it, it would take months.

• Tom Kirkman : What do you mean Carlton Mackie didn't deliver the medicine?

  Aaron Shore : He reneged, sir. He found another buyer.

  Emily Rhodes : Pharmacies whose clientele are willing to pay two grand a dose.

  Tom Kirkman : So the residents of South Carroll Parish will not get the medicine they need, while the residents in Cameron Parish will.

  Emily Rhodes : Yes, sir. It's all about the money; who has it, who doesn't.

  Lyor Boone : It's like Katrina on steroids, Mr. President.

  Tom Kirkman : Not if I can help it. Tell Kendra I'm gonna need her in federal court as soon as possible.

• Aaron Shore : Did you and Damian break into a storage unit?

  Hannah Wells : We were following up on a lead regarding Patrick Lloyd.

  Aaron Shore : With a burglary.

  Hannah Wells : Aaron, I can't get into the details.

  Aaron Shore : Hannah, you answer to me.

  Hannah Wells : And you answer to the president.

  Aaron Shore : Your point being?

  Hannah Wells : That this is about his family. And until I know exactly what I'm dealing with...

  Aaron Shore : You don't want to expose me.

  Hannah Wells : Yeah.

  Aaron Shore : Okay. All right. I'll trust you on this, Hannah, and I'll run interference, but what I can't do is run interference for someone who works for another government. Surveillance cameras on the factory across the street caught him breaking through that fence. He can answer for that, or he can leave.
