Robert Hawkins quotes from Jericho

So...I just wanted to know how you were doing. Settling in okay at Jimmy's place.

Allison

Yeah, he just never stops talking.

No [chuckles] he doesn't. How's Sam?

Allison

You know, he gets scared.

And you?

Allison

I'm fine.

Look, that thing you had to do to Sarah...I know how that can change people.

Allison

Dad, don't worry about me. I'm not Sam, and I'm not Mom. So... you're not going to live with us anymore, are you?

I don't think it's a good idea right now.

Allison

Then don't worry. I'll take care of them.

Hey, hey, hey. Come here. [He grabs and hugs her] You are not me.

Jake

At the FBI what were you working on?

Hawkins

I was sent here to monitor phone calls made in the area to a suspected terrorist cell.

Jake

And what'd you find out?

Hawkins

Nothing. Trail went dead. We about done here?

Jake

Not even close. Tell me about her: Sarah Mason.

Hawkins

She's gone. [realizing gun's empty, chuckles] You're pretty thorough.

Jake

I also took care of the one in the cabinet and the one behind the water heater. There's only one loaded gun in this house, and it's mine. Sit down.

Hawkins

Those are Defense Department projections. They've been doing them since the 50's. They're fallout scenarios in the event of a nuclear attack on 20 US cities. Do you see Jericho? It's outside the fallout zones, Jake, it's got a salt mine, plenty of farmland, and access to an untainted water table.

Jake

So you weren't here to monitor phone calls?

Hawkins

Jericho was a rally point in case we failed in our mission.

Jake

Failed or succeeded?

Jake

Did you wipe out 23 American cities?

Hawkins

Get out of my house!

Jake

Answer the question!

Hawkins

Why would you even think that?

Jake

You've got a working generator and a food supply. It's like you knew the attacks were coming!

Jake

Was that doing it your way?

Hawkins

You asked me to come along.

Jake

What were you gonna do?

Hawkins

To get the truth? Less than you would have. You see, I've done—I've done enough, Jake, to know better. It's the fear of torture that gets results. Actual torture...only works in the movies.

So, what's the plan?

Hawkins

Plan? There's gonna be an explosion in town. Hopefully it'll cause enough chaos that we can somehow get Jake and Eric out of there.

I think I can help you with that. I have an in with Constantino.

Darcy

So there were dozens of these things used in the attacks, right? And now you have the last one.

Yeah.

Darcy

I don't, I don't think these people are looking at this thing as a weapon. It's more than that. It's...

Evidence.

Darcy

It's the smoking gun behind the greatest crime in the history of the world.

Hawkins

This satellite must remain a secret.

Johnston

[pauses briefly] Sounds good.

Jake

What, that's it?

Johnston

What do you want me to say? I get it, man has a satellite, doesn't want anyone to know.

Jake

Yeah, but...

Johnston

I am about to go to war with New Bern, Kansas, the home of the nearest Costco - today is already just about as weird as I can handle. I'm not asking any more questions.

Jake

[about his father] He's been shot.

Hawkins

I'm sorry. OK.You know what to do, right? Keep pressure on the wound. And there should be some morphine curettes in the supplies I gave you.

Jake

Yeah, we've got it.

Hawkins

Listen, Jake, people are gonna be looking to you now. You know what I mean?

Jake

Yeah.

Hawkins

Let's agree on this. You don't make the terms. I do. And if you have information to share, then you just share it. But if you lie to me then know that I will find out, and the next time we speak, it will not be on the phone. Those are the terms.

Agreed. Now can we move on to more urgent business?

Hawkins

I'm listening.

Good. 'Cause you're a day away from being caught.

Heather

The government, the army, the news… they're all lying about who's responsible for the attacks.

Hawkins

Yes.

Heather

You're telling the truth.

Hawkins

Yeah.

Heather

Who are you?

[about the file] Jennings and Rall put it all in one place. It was supposed to protect us, but someone got a hold of it. It took our worst nightmare and made it come true.

Hawkins

Okay, how do you know about this?

Because I helped write it.

Hawkins

So why not just blow the whistle? What do you need me for?

I don't need you. I need your bomb.

Hawkins

[prepping to retrieve the bomb] I'm asking for your help but I can't afford for you to go off book out there and I don't have any room for debate, so if you've got any questions, now's the time.

Jake

Yeah, I've got a question. How do we find the bomb?

Hawkins

No idea. Anything else?

Jake

I think we started a war today. Let me guess, not your first?

Hawkins

Jake, this war was coming with or without us. I just hope we did enough to make it a fair fight.
