[last lines]
Jake Ballard : [cuffed to his chair] I think you want me to be guilty. Guilty lets you hate me for things you're not allowed to hate me for.
President Fitzgerald Grant : Did you kill my son?
Jake Ballard : Like those two months I spent on an island screwing your girlfriend. Oh, that must have tortured you.
President Fitzgerald Grant : Did you kill my son?
Jake Ballard : Imagining me inside of her.
President Fitzgerald Grant : [repeatedly punching him]

Jake Ballard : [to Fitz] You are a decent human being. You are a good person. I know this because she loves you. If you were not a good person, you would be down here pummeling my face in. I would not be in the possession of a government agency. I would be in a ditch somewhere. No one would be worried about the timeline of my food and drink. I would be in an unmarked grave by now. You're one of the good guys! She calls them white hats. You don't think you are, but you are. It's why she loves you. I'm one, too. It's why she loves me.

Bill Warren : [interrogating] Mr. Ballard, you've refused all food and water. Now, I assume that's because you know we're required to send prisoners to a medical facility if they fail to consume food or water for 72 hours. Mr. Ballard, I will accompany you to the medical facility and continue the interrogation there. That's not a threat. That's a promise.
Jake Ballard : [cuffed to his chair] Bill... It is Bill, right? We have already established the rules of this game, Bill. We did it 20 hours ago. I demanded to see the President. You refused. So, now I don't eat or drink. Ticking clock, 72 hours, while you ask ridiculous questions, make obvious statements, and we both wait for the inevitable appearance of the leader of the free world. So, be quiet now and just wait for the President. He'll be here. You seem like a decent guy, but your voice is really starting to get on my nerves. And even though the Pentagon is a very fancy place, these handcuffs are a suggestion for me. I'm being nice.
