Without a Trace2002

[after Sam's OPR interview]

Samantha:
He asked me about us. He had all this stuff. Um, security card access records of nights that we left together; phone logs.

Jack Malone:
And what did you say?

Samantha:
I told him it wasn't true.

Jack Malone:
You have no idea of what he knows or doesn't know. That's his ace up the sleeve - that's how he wins.

Samantha:
I was just trying to protect you.

Jack Malone:
Yeah, but you didn't have to lie. Even if he had hard evidence, there's nothing he could do about it.

Samantha:
We broke at least half a dozen conduct codes.

Jack Malone:
And lying to an OPR investigator could get you fired.

Samantha:
And sleeping with an agent under your command could get you fired. I'm sorry I lied. I was just trying to save your ass.
