Bad Code (2012)

Cotter Smith: Denton Weeks

Quotes 

• Harold Finch : [Root has Weeks strung up with a hood over his head]  Can you please make this stop?

  Root : Another hour in that hood, and he'll believe anything I say. Amazing how easily the human brain can be manipulated.

  [Goes to Weeks, removes the hood] 

  Root : But you know that, don't you, Denton?

  [Root holds up a sheet of paper] 

  Root : A top-secret DOD memo authorizing enhanced interrogation techniques, including "Palestinian hanging," which you are currently enjoying. Whose signature is at the end? Why, it's yours.

  Denton Weeks : Please water.

  Root : [Mockingly checks the document]  Sorry, not allowed. Unless you tell me what I want to know.

  Denton Weeks : Lady, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a White House lawyer. I sign documents. I don't read 'em. Please, for the love of God, let me down.

  Root : If you tell me where the machine is.

  Denton Weeks : What machine?

  Root : [Points at Harold]  The machine he built. The machine Nathan Ingram sold you for one US dollar. You know where it is!

  Denton Weeks : I don't know anything! I swear!

  Root : [Looks at Harold as she puts the hood back on Weeks]  Really, Harold, why do men always seek to delay the inevitable?

• Denton Weeks : I know you're reluctant to trust me - you don't know me...

  Harold Finch : Oh, I do know who you are, Mr. Weeks. You tried to hack the machine.

  Denton Weeks : I certainly tried. It was my job. I had to test its limits, see if it was safe. But in all of our crisis scenarios, we never envisioned this. That someone would get to one of us.

• Denton Weeks : So Ingram's little IT guy. We always suspected the idiot in the tux couldn't have done it on his own.

  Harold Finch : What do you want?

  Denton Weeks : I want to know what you know.
