Quotes 

• Erika : I need to talk to you

  Sean Hillinger : Is it important?

  Erika : [Handling him the warrant]  you tell me: did you issue a federal warrant on this vehicle?

  Sean Hillinger : [Looking at the warrant]  what?

  Erika : I found a digital footprint on server four's backup, it partitioned from your station, and I'd like to know what the hell is going on?

  Sean Hillinger : Keep your voice down. You want to get us caught? I sent out the warrant to "sideline" Bauer and Renee: they were closing in on Dubaku

  Erika : I thought you said Dubaku is on his way out of the country?

  Sean Hillinger : He is but his girlfriend's talking to the FBI, they used her to track him

  Erika : Oh my God

  Sean Hillinger : Don't worry, I took care of it. Bauer and Renee are in police custody, by the time their released, Dubaku will be long gone

  Erika : Are you sure?

  Sean Hillinger : Positive

  Erika : Why didn't you tell me this was happening?

  Sean Hillinger : Because I knew you'd react like this. The last thing I need right now is one of your "meltdowns." Now listen, I got you in "this" and I'm going to get you out of "it", not if you start panicking. You've got to keep it together

  Erika : I'm just scared you know?

  Sean Hillinger : I know, I am too, I'm just a little better at hiding it than you are. We've got everything "covered", I ran a "bounce tap" into the conference room speakerphone, they'll never find and I can hear everything their saying: sit at your station and try and act "normal." Let me worry about Bauer and Renee ok?

• Erika : [talking privately in the bathroom]  What is it? What's wrong?

  Sean Hillinger : Just listen to me and try not to overreact ok? We have a situation but I think I have a way to handle it

  Erika : What situation? You told me you had everything under control?

  Sean Hillinger : I do... but they have Dubaku's database

  Erika : What? Our names are on that list: you told me you were taking care of this and now you're telling me they have our names?

  Sean Hillinger : No, they don't have our names yet, ok? So here's the plan...

  Erika : [interrupts him]  no we have to get out of here right now, I'm not going to jail, do you hear me?

  Sean Hillinger : No one is going to jail, I promise you

  Erika : No, I'm sick of your promises, you promised me that this is all taken care of, you promised me you're leaving your wife? You make all these promises but you never...

  Sean Hillinger : [interrupts her]  stop talking and just listen to me. Now I told you I have a way out of this but I need your help. Do you understand that? Now listen, ok? As soon as O'Brian downloads those files, we're going to crash the system: every single server on this floor

  Erika : That's crazy

  Erika : No, it's not crazy. We're going to go up to the mainframe room, initiate a system wide reformat, we'll wipe everything clean and they won't be able to stop it ok? We have to bypass a lot of safety protocols ok? But nobody's better dealing with those servers than you are. Isn't that true? I need your help

  Sean Hillinger : [seductively]  I can't do this without you

  Erika : Ok, we're going to have to tie the main servers together, I'll need an AVR motherboard but you're going to have to reconfigure it for a macro uplink

  Sean Hillinger : Ok, we have to hurry: the drive's going to be here any minute. Go up to the mainframe room and get started on it, I'm going to prep the motherboard and I'll meet you up there

• Sean Hillinger : [while lying on the floor in the mainframe room, referring to Erika]  I followed her up here: she was trying to crash the system, she shot me, I went for the weapon and it went off

  Larry Moss : Chloe, can you recover the files?

  Chloe O'Brian : I don't know yet

  Sean Hillinger : What files? What the hell is happening?

  Larry Moss : [Raises his voice]  you tell me what the hell is happening Sean

  Sean Hillinger : You were "shutting me out", Larry, so I looked around on my own, I found out Erika was rerouting the SUB COMM channel

  Larry Moss : What the hell was she doing?

  Sean Hillinger : She sent out a warrant on a vehicle with two suspects, I knew something was wrong: that's not part of her job. I asked her about it and she tried to deny it, and she was acting very "strangely"

  Larry Moss : Why didn't you say anything?

  Sean Hillinger : I don't know what the hell it meant so I hacked into hard drive and I found schematics for the main server, bypass codes for the safety protocols. I followed her up here to see what she was up to. The second I realized she was trying to crash the system, I confronted her, she shot me, I went for the gun... Larry I didn't mean to kill her

  Chloe O'Brian : [after checking the computer]  Larry, it's too late, Dubaku's files are gone

  Larry Moss : Are you sure? Can you recover anything?

  Chloe O'Brian : The server's been "wiped clean", she got everything

• Larry Moss : [Holding the list of messages]  is this everything you got?

  Sean Hillinger : No, it's not, I didn't have time to print out every single message that came through on Erika's work station: that's everything she was doing for the past three days. Look I told you what happened, I feel you owe me an explanation: what the hell is going on here?

  Larry Moss : The government's been compromised by Dubaku, FBI, Secret Service, God knows who else. That's why I "shut you out", I brought in Chloe O'Brian. We were in the middle of decrypting a file that had the names of everyone on Dubaku's payroll. Erika erased it when she "wiped" the server: that was our only lead

  Sean Hillinger : You should've told me about this, you should've "trusted" me

  Larry Moss : I didn't know who to "trust." You alright? How's your arm?

  Sean Hillinger : [Referring to his gunshot wound]  it hurts like hell: its fine

  Larry Moss : When you're up for it, I'm going to need you to sign a statement

  Sean Hillinger : Ok

  Larry Moss : Keep your mouth shut. We don't know who else in this building is working for Dubaku
