Quotes 

• Ethan Kanin : [Talking privately]  the President is in an impossible "situation" right now: she needs your support but you can't give it to her if you keep going off on these paranoid "fantasies" about Roger, I know about Samantha Roth, I know you accused her in her office

  Henry Taylor : She's hiding "something" about Roger's murder

  Ethan Kanin : Roger wasn't murdered: he committed suicide, the coroner's office made that determination and the FBI confirmed it

  Henry Taylor : [Shakes his head]  they didn't look "hard enough", I know my son. He did not kill himself, he wasn't "depressed", and he had no "reason" to

  Ethan Kanin : What if he did have a "reason"?

  Henry Taylor : I would have known

  Ethan Kanin : Not if he didn't tell you. Not if he was too "ashamed" to tell you or the President

  Henry Taylor : What're you talking about?

  Ethan Kanin : Roger was about to be investigated by the FCC for insider trading. He had used information he could only gotten through his access to the President, before the FCC opened the investigation, he killed himself

  Henry Taylor : I don't believe it

  Ethan Kanin : It's all in here: the FCC case file

  Henry Taylor : Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this?

  Ethan Kanin : Frank Boland agreed to bury the case as a political favor to the President

  Henry Taylor : My wife knew about this and she didn't tell me?

  Ethan Kanin : She wanted to but she also wanted to protect the memory of your son. You were in so much pain...

  Henry Taylor : [Interrupts him]  damn it, he was my son, I deserved to know the truth

  Ethan Kanin : And keeping it from you was a terrible mistake, I realize that now but the President both thought you were moving on with your life
