Aaron Cross

I'm still trying to figure out if you're supposed to kill me or give me a pep-talk.

Aaron Cross

I'm not gonna sit here and argue with you. I'm gonna call your boss and we're gonna figure it out.

Number Three
[wolves howling in the distance]

Your friends are here.

Aaron Cross

I know. Don't you think that's strange? The wolves? They don't do that. They don't track people.

Number Three

Well, maybe they don't think you're human.

Aaron Cross

With all due respect, sir, now's not the best time. Twenty minutes, this place is gonna fall apart.

I'm aware of that. I'll take the chance. We need to talk. I need you to stop what you're doing and turn around. That's an order. We got screwed on the intel, okay? Nobody knew those people were in there. It would be perfectly normal for a person to have doubts about the morality of what we just asked you to do.

Aaron Cross

Is that a question, sir?

No, it's not. Tune in to what I'm trying to say to you. Do you know what a sin eater is? [Aaron mouths no] Well, that's what we are. We are the sin eaters. It means that we find the moral excrement that we find in this situation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our cause can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary. You understand?

Aaron Cross
[shakes his head yes]

Will that be all?

Look, I want to get out! Would you please stop the car?

Aaron Cross

You can't be that naive.

Would you let me out of the car?

Aaron Cross

There's no way you're that naive. [swerves the car to the side of the road] You want out? Get out. Go on. Get out. You don't have any chems. You don't know where they are. You don't know anything. That's fine. Just get out. But you got a plan, right? Yeah, of course you do. You're a doctor. You've got this all worked out, don't you? What are you gonna do? Huh? What are you gonna do? You can't run, not alone. You don't know how. You certainly can't hide. Not from people like this, with the resources they have. You won't make it to sundown. So what's that leave you? You can go public. Sure. You can go loud. Call your sister, 'cause that worked out well for you. Call some ex-roomate. Call a guy that knows a guy at The Washington Post. Put it online. 'Cause you know what? You blow me off, that's the only play you've got. But you'd better ask yourself this- could you ever say it loud enough or fast enough that they'd be too afraid to finish what they started? Now, I've got a plan, and it's just not that complicated. What I'm going to do is wait for the next person to show up to kill you. Maybe they can help me. So go for it.

Aaron Cross

We have less than eight minutes to clear out of here, okay?

Aaron Cross

Good. Because the next thing coming though that door is going to wipe us out.
