Steven Culp: Peter Hardwick

Quotes 

• Gary Noesner : You got a minute?

  Peter Hardwick : Sure. What's on your mind?

  Gary Noesner : The, uh... Ruby Ridge report? I have some concerns.

  Peter Hardwick : Mm-hmm?

  Gary Noesner : It says that Mitch "acted appropriately".

  Peter Hardwick : Well, in all fairness, he wasn't trying to kill Vicky Weaver.

  Gary Noesner : No, but he did break the rules of engagement in the field. He should be facing an investigation, not getting a pat on the back.

  Peter Hardwick : This mess belongs to the ATF. Look, the boys upstairs are worried that if we reprimand Mitch, then we're admitting fault.

  Gary Noesner : But we are at fault. He issued a "kill on sight" command and a woman was killed. Look, my dad used to say "You don't earn trust by telling people how good you did. You earn it by saying the hard stuff." Now, our greatest asset as an agency is that people believe in us. But if we lose that trust, we might not ever get it back.

• Peter Hardwick : How's the new batch of trainees?

  Gary Noesner : None of them is as instantly brilliant as I was.

  Peter Hardwick : God held us all. Got your go bag with you?

  Gary Noesner : Always. Where you sending me?

  Peter Hardwick : [handing him a folder]  Ruby Ridge. Idaho. Read up. It's a quagmire. Mitch Decker and HRT are on their way. I need you on a plane as soon as possible.
