John Dutton : Are we wrong?
A.G. Stewart : You're not wrong. But it doesn't alter the lens. It doesn't change the way it looks and how it looks...
Senator Balen : Is all that matters anymore, John.Six people died.

A.G. Stewart : It looks like a feud. It looks like a gross misuse of power.
Governor Lynelle Perry : We have been sitting here banging our heads against a wall, and we don't have a solution.
