Alberta Watson: Erin Driscoll

Quotes 

• James Heller : Maybe you should go home.

  Erin Driscoll : I'm afraid to.

  [she cries] 

  James Heller : [Long pause]  When my wife Susan died, I didn't deal with it at all. Actually, I went to work the next day. I remember thinking to myself, "That's life. Quit feeling sorry for yourself. Get over it, get on with it". A few weeks later, I answered a call from an old friend of Susan's who did not know she had died.

  [pause] 

  James Heller : And when I heard myself saying "Susan has passed away", when I actually said those words, it hit me. All the pain I was trying to shut out just overwhelmed me. Erin, you can't keep it inside. You cry, you blame God. You blame yourself and then you cry some more. And all the while you let your friends help you. It's pretty simple. Very painful. And I am so, so sorry for you.

• President John Keeler : [Through video conference]  Jim, Erin. First I want to express my deep gratitude for what you've accomplished so far today. Rescuing back the control of the Override has saved thousands of American lives. The latest NRC report is that the San Gabriel Island meltdown is now under control

  James Heller : That's great news Mr. President, but has your staff informed you that we still have a few "problems" to deal with?

  President John Keeler : Yes, that's why I'm calling. I understand the man responsible for today's attacks is still at large?

  James Heller : Yes Sir, he is. His name is Habib Marwan, his been a long term employee of a major defense contractor

  President John Keeler : Yes I heard, McLennan-Forrester. This Habib Marwan, do you believe melting down the reactors was his end game or do you think his planning something else?

  James Heller : As long as his still out there, we have to assume it's not over

  President John Keeler : Erin, exactly where are we on apprehending this man?

  Erin Driscoll : All our resources are being deployed to that end Mr. President, we'll have more information in a few minutes once I've been briefed by my staff but we know Marwan's in Los Angeles and we will find him

• Edgar Stiles : [During a meeting]  using the alias "Harris Barnes", Marwan worked at McLennan-Forrester for the last two years as a Senior Engineer: his most recent project was the design and development of the Override

  Erin Driscoll : Before that?

  Tony Almeida : Here's the timeline we've "pieced" together, he went to graduate school in England, then worked several years for a company outside of London. Now it's not clear if he was radicalized there or before that but the one thing we do know is that from the day he arrived in the US, everything he did was about today

  Erin Driscoll : What were his other duties at McLennan-Forrester?

  Sarah Gavin : We don't know yet: we're taking a first pass at his records now. I'm looking into the possibility he may have used McLennan-Forrester as a base to recruit his sleeper cells

  Tony Almeida : And that brings up another issue, at present time, we have over eighty percent of field personnel looking for Marwan. I'm just wondering if we should divert part of that man power to root out some of these other cells?

  Tony Almeida : [after she doesn't respond]  Erin?

  Erin Driscoll : I'm sorry Tony, what was the question?

  Tony Almeida : Do you think we should reduce the field load on Marwan?

  Tony Almeida : [after she doesn't respond again]  how about we take some of our people off Marwan but keep a floor of sixty percent still looking for him? Would that work?

  Erin Driscoll : Yes, that would work

  Tony Almeida : Ok
