  Rowan Pope : [entering her cell]  Our daughter's been asking about you. I wish I could say they were innocent questions, such as trying to find out what lullabies you sang, or what cookies you made when she was sad. They're not. So tomorrow night when America is sleeping I'm putting you on a plane and taking you out of the country. It is not a vacation or even a change of scenery. The room you'll be occupying is much like the room you're in now, only further away and harder to find. Understand? Good.

  Maya Lewis : I want to see her.

  Rowan Pope : Excuse me?

  Maya Lewis : Olivia I want to see her. I want to see my daughter, and I want you to make it happen before I leave, before I travel to some god-forsaken room in some god-forsaken country to spend the rest of my god-forsaken life there.

  Rowan Pope : You know that's not possible.

  Maya Lewis : Then make it possible. I've been sitting in this cell for over 20 years, hiding in the bowels of our justice system. You have to give me something - one thing before you throw me out with the trash. Please.

  Rowan Pope : Sorry.

  Maya Lewis : Eli, please.

  Rowan Pope : I will see you tomorrow...

  [leaves the room] 

  Maya Lewis : Eli. Eli!
