Alright. I put the bounty on Ilsa's head. I also told you how to find her. But I didn't make her steal the key. She did that for reasons of her ow. But that's the pattern, isn't it? You helped her out of trouble, and she always found her way back. I'm not gonna apologize to you, Hunt. It's my job to use you, just like it's your job to be of use. Did you accomplish your mission or not?

Kitteridge

Ethan, the next World War isn't gonna be a cold one, it's gonna be a shooting one. It's gonna be a ballistic war over a rapidly shrinking ecosystem. It's gonna be a war for the last of our dwindling energy, drinkable water, breathable air. Whoever controls the Entity controls the truth. The concepts of right and wrong can be clearly defined for everyone, for centuries to come.

Kitteridge

We cannot escape the past. Some of us are doomed to repeat it. Grace may believe you've saved her from her fate, but you and I both know you've merely bought her time. But that's the pattern, isn't it? The cross you've been left to bear. The closer someone gets to you, the harder it is to keep them alive.

Kitteridge

A new day brings a new burden. The key is only the beginning. Wherever it leads, whatever it takes to get there, you'll have to do it on your own. Should you fail in your mission, the Entity wins, Gabriel wins, and the world will pay the ultimate price. Should any members of your team be caught or killed, their sacrifice will have been in vain. So hurry; there isn't much time. The world doesn't know it, but they're counting on you. Good luck, Ethan...

I understand, you're upset...

Ethan

I'm not upset, Kitteridge. You wanted me to listen. This is me listening.

Ethan

Wherever the other half of this is, whatever the completed key unlocks, I will find it.

Kittridge

And then what?

Ethan

No-one should be trusted with control of the Entity. I mean to kill it.

Kittridge

Ethan, the next World War isn't gonna be a cold one, it's gonna be a shooting one. It's gonna be a ballistic war over a rapidly shrinking ecosystem. It's gonna be a war for the last of our dwindling energy, drinkable water, breathable air. Whoever controls the Entity controls the truth.

Ethan

Do you even hear yourself?!

Kittridge

Your days of fighting for the so-called "greater good" are over. You need to pick a side.

Ethan

I'm on the same side I've always been on. Stay out of my way.

Kittridge

I can't do that. We're gonna be coming after you. The world's gonna be coming after you. And one way or another, this mission of yours is gonna cost you... dearly.
