Quotes 

• Joan Campbell : All right, I'm taking you home. You need a good night's sleep.

  Auggie Anderson : How much sleep do you think I'm gonna get knowing that some committee is trying to burn Annie at the stake?

  Joan Campbell : It's nothing personal, Auggie, they're gonna make a decision based on the evidence.

  Auggie Anderson : If all they're looking for is evidence to indict, that's all they're gonna find. You gotta help me convince Arthur to give me those files. Somebody's gotta fight for Annie!

  Joan Campbell : I agree, which is why I've been sifting through every scrap of evidence, looking for everything I can to help Annie. I care about her, too, Auggie. Can you trust me to fight for her?

• Arthur Campbell : Maybe Lena was right. Maybe we brought Annie in too early.

  Joan Campbell : No, she was ready, Arthur. She had more raw talent than anyone I have ever seen, and in the two and a half years that we've worked together, she's proved herself to be an invaluable operative.

  Arthur Campbell : Invaluable? Even if she was lying to you the entire time?

  Joan Campbell : [rises]  You have never doubted she was guilty, have you? You didn't even try to defend her. So what about the operative who depends on you to have their back?

  Arthur Campbell : Annie Walker...

  [shakes his head] 

  Arthur Campbell : is looking very, very guilty. It's hard to accept.

  [nods] 

  Arthur Campbell : I know.

• Danielle Brooks : [operating table hallucinations]  I said it will just take a few minutes. Please, have a seat.

  Annie Walker : Danielle! What are you doing here?

  Danielle Brooks : I'm conducting a polygraph examination. On you.

  Annie Walker : [stunned, but...]  Okay.

  [looks down] 

  Annie Walker : This isn't really a good time.

  Danielle Brooks : Funny how it's never a good time when I need something from you.

  Annie Walker : [sighs]  Let's do it.

  [sits down, offers her hand] 

  Danielle Brooks : [after attaching wire]  Is your name Anne Catherine Walker?

  Annie Walker : Yes.

  Danielle Brooks : Do you reside in Washington, D.C.?

  Annie Walker : [nods]  Georgetown, yes.

  Danielle Brooks : Did you like the miso black cod I made for your birthday last year?

  Annie Walker : [frowns]  What?

  Danielle Brooks : You barely touched it. You claimed you had a really big lunch that day. Did you like my cod?

  Annie Walker : [cornered, tries:]  Yes.

  [polygraph beeps] 

  Annie Walker : Come on, Danielle!

  [smiles] 

  Danielle Brooks : [clears throat]  Do you ever intend to keep the promises you make, or do you know they're empty when you make them?

  Annie Walker : [shocked]  What?

  [looks very hurt] 

  Danielle Brooks : I didn't compose the questions. I'm just here to conduct the interview. Please answer the question.

  Annie Walker : [shakes her head]  I intend to keep every promise I make.

  [polygraph beeps, and she yells at it:] 

  Annie Walker : I'm not lying!

  Danielle Brooks : Well, the machine indicates otherwise. And, frankly, I'm more inclined to trust an electronic device than you.

  Annie Walker : [shakes her head]  You know what? This is over!

  [gets up, heads for door] 

  Danielle Brooks : Did you ever consider what effects joining the C.I.A. would have on your family? Were you aware of the potential dangers, and chose to join regardless?

  Annie Walker : [emphatically]  Nothing was ever more important to me than you.

  [opens door] 

  Joan Campbell : [hallucination shifts, Joan takes place of Danielle]  I don't know where your allegiance lies. But your actions suggest it isn't with me.
