Jocelyne Jordan is the daughter of Senator Thomas Jordan (Jon Voight). Miss Jordan is described as having been romantically involved with Shaw (Liev Schreiber) when they were much younger. She connects with Shaw during two crucial scenes: one in which she suggests he is foolishly living in the past, dwelling on the romance that his mother derailed, the other in which Shaw's programmed character collides with both Sen. and Miss Jordan during one of the film's most crucial, later scenes.
