Quotes
-
Colonel Iké Dubaku : [Over the phone] it's me, have you made the preparations?
Ryan Burnett : Almost, it's been tricky clearing a flight corridor ever since FAA still has most private and commercial aircrafts grounded
Colonel Iké Dubaku : I think you'll manage: the arrangements are two passengers
Ryan Burnett : Just as you requested, you sure you want to leave now Colonel? I can't "imagine" General will be "pleased" to learn that your abandoning your mission
Colonel Iké Dubaku : The mission is over, I've done what I can. If that is not enough for Juma, then the hell with him
Ryan Burnett : I've got your passports and itinerary already in hand: we'll meet in our usual spot in half an hour, I'll bring them
Colonel Iké Dubaku : No, we'll meet in the lobby of the Roosevelt Continental Hotel
Ryan Burnett : That's not a good idea, it'll be crowded there this time
Colonel Iké Dubaku : I know, I want to make it earlier. I'll see you in fifteen minutes
Ryan Burnett : Alright

Ryan Burnett : [Meeting privately, slides the document across the table inside an envelope] passports and travel itinerary: Hawker Siddeley 748 is fueling at Taft Airfield. Get ready to fly within a half hour, we'll get you to the Cayman Islands. You shouldn't have any trouble getting to Belize from there
Colonel Iké Dubaku : I need a car to get to the airfield, and a driver
Ryan Burnett : I assumed you had your own transportation?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : It's not for me
Ryan Burnett : I see
Ryan Burnett : [Referring to Marika] for the girl, I'm not sure I can find someone I trust on such short notice
Colonel Iké Dubaku : [Noticing one of Burnett's men] really? What about your man at the bar?
Ryan Burnett : Excuse me?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Or one of the two men on the balcony watching us now? Or the two in the black town car waiting for me to leave? You think I'm a fool? I know you people see me as a "liability" now
Ryan Burnett : These men are here to guarantee your safety: not threaten it
Colonel Iké Dubaku : [Amused] "guarantee my safety", how nice, you say it with such "sincerity"
Colonel Iké Dubaku : [Leans forward on the table] I want you to take this message back with you: if anything should happen to me on my way out of the country, an "accident", an assassination attempt, anything, the plane you were so generous to arrange "decides" to explode, the data file with all the names, the bank transactions of all those involved will be sent to the Justice Department
Ryan Burnett : That is completely unnecessary
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Same holds true to Marika Donoso. I swear to you she knows nothing of this: she's no threat to you. Make sure your driver knows this before he bring her to me. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : [after Burnett is silent, sternly] I want you to tell me you understand what I'm saying to you so there's no "mistakes"
Ryan Burnett : I understand
Colonel Iké Dubaku : [Before leaning back in his chair] good, the one thing I have learned to be in the company of mercenaries is that ultimately they care about nothing but their own survival

Marika Donoso : [Showing up at her job unannounced] what're you doing here?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : We need to talk
Marika Donoso : [after looking at her watch] I get a break in twenty minutes
Colonel Iké Dubaku : [Insistently] no, now
Marika Donoso : What is it? You're scaring me
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Something's come up, I need to leave the country
Marika Donoso : What? When?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Right away
Marika Donoso : I don't understand: when are you coming back?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Listen to me I haven't "entirely" honest with you, my passport and visa expired months ago and I've been in the country illegally. I'm afraid the Immigration people have caught up to me
Marika Donoso : It was my sister wasn't it? She reported you didn't she?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : That doesn't matter now, what is important is that I have to leave country tonight, I want you to come with me
Marika Donoso : Tonight?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : We've talked about this: that one day I will take you away from here and give you the life you deserve
Marika Donoso : I want that too but not tonight, not so soon
Colonel Iké Dubaku : [Angrily] I don't have time to argue with you
Colonel Iké Dubaku : [after seeing her become scared] I'm sorry
Marika Donoso : I can't leave Rosa, I'm the only one she has to take care of her, and you know that
Colonel Iké Dubaku : I know, which is why she's going to join us
Marika Donoso : Join us?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : As soon as possible, I could only arrange tickets for us tonight but I want you to promise that you'll not tell your sister of our plans: at least not yet
Marika Donoso : I have to, I can't just run off
Colonel Iké Dubaku : No, she might cause trouble for us. It'll make it impossible for us to leave. I promise you, your sister will join us in a couple days of our arrival ok?
Marika Donoso : Alright, where?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Belize, I have shown you the photographs of my home there. Do you love me?
Marika Donoso : You know I do
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Then trust me: say you'll come
Marika Donoso : I'll get my things
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Now I still need to finalize our arrangements. I want you to go home, pack, and wait for my call
Marika Donoso : Alright

Colonel Iké Dubaku : [Over the phone, as Jack and Renee listen in] are you alright?
Marika Donoso : Yes
Colonel Iké Dubaku : What took you so long to answer the phone?
Marika Donoso : I was in the bedroom packing: where are you?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : What's wrong? You sound strange
Marika Donoso : It was Rosa, she caught me packing and we argued
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Is she going to be a problem for us?
Marika Donoso : No, I'm sorry I had to tell her everything. It was the way... but she understands now
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Are you certain?
Marika Donoso : Yeah, she's fine now that she knows that she and I will be together in a few days
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Thank God she has an angel for a sister, are you ready to go?
Marika Donoso : Almost
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Hurry up then, I sent a car for you: it should be there shortly, go downstairs and wait for it
Marika Donoso : Where's it taking me?
Colonel Iké Dubaku : Don't worry, the driver will know. I just want the woman I love to go downstairs as quick as possible
