• Dan Chase : We had two tickets on Azur Maroc flight 31. The two tickets that you left for us. The two that I asked you for. Abbey and I, we debated whether we should ask you for a third. It was such a long flight. But... we decided it was too dangerous for you to know. No one could ever know. Hamzad, he was trying to find out if you knew that you bought two tickets for three passengers. If you knew that Abbey and I had somebody else with us on that flight.

  Harold Harper : Someone was with you? Who else was with you?

  Dan Chase : I never told you what happened that night. I'm not sure I would have known how. Been so easy to end it all. It would have been so easy just to kill him like I told you I would. So much simpler that way. But in that moment, I... I couldn't do it. I couldn't kill him in front of his daughter.

• Dan Chase : Pavlovich, you know, he... he said something today. Told me some things about Abbey that I didn't know. Told me that she recruited him. She cultivated him years in advance, until she was ready to activate him to help her husband win his war. How many people we ever know that could play the game that way? Did we know any? When I called you to help us escape, I... I knew exactly what I was doing. I was protecting the bravest and most noble woman I'd ever met. Never doubted it. Not then. Not since. But suddenly, I'm hearing questions. Is it possible that... you know, she was using me too? Is it possible that she was cultivating me for an exit strategy? That's a hell of a thing, isn't it?

• Dan Chase : Sometimes there are things that you don't get to know before the curtain comes down.
