[In a suite somewhere in the hotel where Terek has been meeting his associates (and killed one after the associate didn't kill any agents involved in Ghazzi Murad's death), the Jackal is watching television and drinking alcohol. The TV is playing a nature documentary.]
TV narrator: Unlike other, less cunning predators, the hyena takes no chances. [during this line, the Jackal drinks] Never attacking unless sure of a kill. Though a consummate killer, he is clearly no gentleman. [The door opens and Terek walks in from his previous meeting]
Terek Murad: I apologize for keeping you waiting. I had some other business to dispose of. [picks up a bottle, opens it and pours himself a drink] So much wasted time, confusing motion with accomplishment. [puts the lid back on the bottle, and shows the bottle to the Jackal] Another drink?
The Jackal: [Russian] If we could get to the point.
[Terek sets the bottle down and switches off the TV, sets his drink on the coffee table, then pulls out a folder, before walking over to the Jackal.]
Terek Murad: The MVD killed my brother. For that, I will see they drown in blood. But to their allies in America, I wish to send a message - a very public message. I wish to strike fear into the marrow of their bones. [opens the folder and shows the Jackal a photograph on a sheet of A4] Can you kill this person?
The Jackal: [silently studying the photograph] Yes. [Terek walks over to an armchair facing the Jackal, on the other side of the coffee table, sits down and runs the photograph through a shredder next to his chair] If I take this job, I'll have to disappear. Forever. So if you want me to do this, you're going to have to pay me.
Terek Murad: [slyly] How much?
The Jackal: [thinking] American dollars, all cash, of course. Half now, half upon completion... [sips his drink] Seventy million.
Terek Murad: [laughs] Why not? [raises his drink] Done. [drinks]
The Jackal: How many people know about this?
Terek Murad: [points at the Jackal] You [points at himself] and I.
The Jackal: Keep it that way. Don't refer to our arrangement by telephone or fax, ever. You should find a place outside of Russia to hide until the mission's completed. If word of this leaks, it will be my choice whether to continue the mission or not. Either way, I keep the initial payment. Agreed?
Terek Murad: [nodding] Okay.
