The
Bourne Legacy
Quotes: The Weakest Link
(Total Quotes: 68)
| It was always a risky venture to do another Bourne movie without Bourne in it and although this is by no means a bad movie, it does suffer from an overstuffed plot and not enough characterization. On the plus side Renner and Weisz have great on-screen chemistry, they both do a great job with what they've been given and there's some good action sequences that elevates the movie. The Bourne Legacy quotes have energy and drive with some zingy dialogue to make the movie fly along briskly. It has to be said that The Bourne Legacy is the weakest link in the Bourne franchise but it has enough escapism on offer to make it worth a look.

The
Bourne Legacy
Quotes Page 1 | 2
[first lines; we see
Aaron Cross swimming in a river at a training site in the middle of
Alaska, he gets a metal container in the water, comes out and stands by
a fire to warm himself, we then see two high-ranking CIA
officials discussing Bourne]Ezra Kramer: There's a reporter in London named Simon Ross. He caught some phone chatter we didn't like and his name came up. They put a team out there to take a better look, they've been sitting on it pretty tight all day. I just got a call about an hour ago, we got a real problem here.
Mark Turso: What kind of problem?
Ezra Kramer: This guy is a writer for The Guardian. He's preparing an exposé on Jason Bourne, Treadstone and Blackbriar.
Mark Turso: Sourced how?
Ezra Kramer: Unknown.
Mark Turso: From Bourne? It's possible?
Ezra Kramer: Possible? We got Bourne six weeks ago in Moscow. He was on foot, wounded with a full Cossack posse up his ass. Somehow he walked out of there. I kind of lost my perspective on what's possible.
Mark Turso: You sound tired Ezra. I'd make more of an effort if I were you. You're the director of the Central Intelligence Agency of United States of America for God's sake. Act like it.
Ezra Kramer: I go down for this, Mark, this goes any more wrong...
Mark Turso: Ezra, you were given a Ferrari, and your people treated it like a lawnmower. You break it, you bought it, whatever thus.
Ezra Kramer: Well, maybe I should be speaking directly to Eric Byer.
Mark Turso: No, no, no. You're enough trouble already. I'll let him know.
[as we see Aaron looking at a map in the mountains of Alaska, he takes two tablets from a small metal container, one green and one blue and then moves to find a target; back in DC, Byer and his team meet to assess the risks of having the program being exposed]
Eric Byer: So the last audit on Treadstone?
Arthur Ingram: Uh...third page.
Dita Mandy: Seven weeks ago.
[Byer turns to the page in the document]
Eric Byer: This is from the CIA or this is ours?
Dita Mandy: I don't know. It's theirs.
Arthur Ingram: This whole pile is theirs.
Zev Vendel: Is anybody reading these ground cables?
Arthur Ingram: Look, how wide are we digging?
Eric Byer: What do you mean, how wide? Just get me everything. Treadstone, Blackbriar, Alcom, Larx, all the beta programs. And that means take it all the way back to Emerald Lake, I want all points of conversion, I want all research personnel. I wanna know about anybody who talked to anybody about anything at anytime.
[referring to Bourne's file as their meeting continues]
Zev Vendel: Seriously, has anybody looked at this stuff on Bourne? In the field reports. It's incredible.
[reading from Jason Bourne's report]
Zev Vendel: Three years off program, non-med, first gen, still rolling. Is there any way we can score some data off of this? Have they caught him alive? I mean, even as a base line
. I
mean,
even forensically.Eric Byer: Maybe you're in the wrong meeting. Because the meeting that we're having is about an infection. We're here talking about a serious infection, and all we're tryin' to do is determine how far it's spread, so that we know how much we have to cut to save the patient. You have never heard of Treadstone, and Bourne, I don't care if they bag him and drop the body on the sidewalk, we're not gonna touch it. You're gonna turn off that side of your head now, and get with the rest of us here, and you're gonna start to consider the magnitude of what we're facing if this moves sideways on us. Because, we get into this, we dig around, and we find out that these CIA clowns have led this Treadstone mess metastasize into the rest of these programs? Just...just pray that doesn't happen.
[we see that Aaron back in the mountain drawing his own blood for a lab test kit then taking the blue and green tablet again; back in DC we see Byer watching the news of Simon Ross being shot; then we see Dr. Shearing arrives at Sterisyn Morlanta labs as she goes to check on an Outcome agent]
Dr. Marta Shearing: How is he?
Dr. Donald Foite: He's prepped. He drank a half liter of water while he was waiting. He had some renal issues last year.
Dr. Marta Shearing: Mm. Or maybe he was thirsty.
Dr. Donald Foite: I have a pending task request?
Dr. Marta Shearing: I know, I read it.
Dr. Donald Foite: I'm trying to complete my core text study
Dr. Marta Shearing: I'll get a more sustained contrast off an IV.
Dr. Donald Foite: Unapproved?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Mmhmm.
Dr. Donald Foite: Yes! Thank you!
[as Marta goes check Outcome agent #6]
Dr. Marta Shearing: We haven't seen you in a while, so we're gonna be doing a full spec workout.
Outcome #6: I just had a full spec three months ago.
Dr. Marta Shearing: Yeah, we had to change the boundary schedules and you're a week over the new line.
Outcome #6: Let me get this straight, if I'd come in ten days ago I'd have been in the clear?
[Marta doesn't answer]
Outcome #6: Never gets any longer, does it?
[referring to the small metal container round hung round his neck]
Dr. Marta Shearing: Gonna have to take that off.
[the agent takes off the container hung around his neck and we see that it's similar to the one Aaron had around his neck and was taking the blue and green pills from]
[referring a CIA film footage of Albert Hirsch introducing Dan Hillcott at a dinner party]
Terrence Ward: Where'd you find this?
Eric Byer: Youtube.
Terrence Ward: I thought we had everything firewalled?
Eric Byer: Yes, so did I. But then again, I thought the CIA would handle Treadstone, so maybe I'm just behind the curve.
Terrence Ward: Well, is that it? Is that all of it?
Eric Byer: No, no. They apparently thought it was okay to attend about half a dozen of these things together.
Terrence Ward: Proving what?
Eric Byer: We're looking at the medical directors of Treadstone and Alcom publicly celebrating their top secret man crush. If this Bourne mess exposes Treadstone, they will turn Hirsch inside out. They'll be talking to Hillcott before we even know what happened.
Mark Turso: What's the damage?
Eric Byer: Alcom. We'd lose Alcom.
Terrence Ward: Uh...meaning what?
Eric Byer: Meaning we will burn the program to the ground. And I mean from top to bottom.
[referring to the film footage of Hirsch and Hillcott]
Terrence Ward: Because of this? Because their friends? These two guys built our platform!
Mark Turso: You wanna wake up and see this on CNN?
Terrence Ward: Jesus! Just like that?! Hirsch and Hillcott? How many people even understand this work, let alone have the will to pursue it? Nothing is even happened yet!
Eric Byer: Then we have to get ready.
Terrence Ward: To get ready for what? Ready for what?
Eric Byer: We don't lose it all, we've got the science, we'll keep the data. All of our JSOC liaison seem to be safe. We've got the beta program tucked away, take a pause and rebuild it. I wish there was a better alternative, but...
[back in the Alps mountain, Aaron reaches his station, shoots his gun several times and walks into the woods, as he walks he hears the voice of another agent]
Outcome #3: You're gonna pretend you don't know I'm here?
Aaron Cross: I was just trying to be polite.
[the other agent, who was hiding on top of a tree, jumps down]
Outcome #3: I wasn't expecting you so soon. What'd you do? You come over the mountain?
Aaron Cross: Don't they forward my position?
Outcome #3: You beat the record by two days.
Aaron Cross: Oh, yeah?
Outcome #3: Yeah. You didn't know there was a record?
Aaron Cross: No. Never came up. It wasn't your record, was it?
Outcome #3: No one comes over the mountain.
Aaron Cross: Yeah, well, I did.
Outcome #3: Yeah.
Aaron Cross: I'm Aaron, by the way.
Outcome #3: Why did you do that? If you wanted to clock, why take the risk? Why take the mountain?
Aaron Cross: I lost my chems. I dropped my program kit, that's why.
[the agent looks at Aaron then walks off to his cabin, Aaron follows him]
[as they enter the agent's cabin]
Outcome #3: Protocol's for me to call in your arrival. They're gonna wanna a sample. You got bloodwork, right?
Aaron Cross: I owe today.
Outcome #3: Alright, pull it now. The drone takes about three hours to get up here, so I'll get some food started. You can dry your shit.
Aaron Cross: So, look, I got a real problem here. I came over that mountain cause I lost my chems.
Outcome #3: What are you taking?
Aaron Cross: Daily of these meds, two fifty green, cognate programs, four hundred blue.
Outcome #3: Define lost.
Aaron Cross: Lost, fell on some rocks off a twenty meter cliff. Lost.
Outcome #3: How's that possible?
Aaron Cross: Look I've had a pack of wolves on my ass since I left the drop, okay? I thought I lost them, but they came at me at the river, so I took the ledge up to the ravine, try to rally out the night, I chose wrong. I got caught out in the open, I couldn't climb, I couldn't make a fire, my hands got stiff. I dropped them.
Outcome #3: You're gonna have to write that up.
Aaron Cross: So, is that yours?
Outcome #3: Hmm?
[Aaron looks over at the tubes of blood on the counter]
Aaron Cross: The bloodwork? That's yours, isn't it?
[the agent doesn't answer]
Aaron Cross: You're not a contact, are you?
[the agent looks aways from Aaron]
Aaron Cross: You know, look, I'm...I'm sorry to call you out like that. It's just that I've never met anybody in the program before. Never, nobody. You're like the first.
[the other agent busies himself with building the fire up]
Aaron Cross: I know you have some extra chems here.
Outcome #3: Am I supposed to ration you out till you leave tomorrow?
Aaron Cross: Yeah.
Outcome #3: Did you chem today?
Aaron Cross: Green only. I haven't had a blue in thirty two hours.
[the agent goes outside, opens a storage container where he has a stash of the pills]
[Eric gets a call from Wills at the Anti-terrorism center in New York]
Ray Wills: Hey, uh...he's here. Bourne is here, in New York.
Eric Byer: What?
Ray Wills: Jason Bourne is in Manhattan, confirmed. He's alive and global, that's all I have. Gotta go.
[after they send their bloodwork on a drone to the nearest military post, they spend the evening the cabin and they hear wolves howling outside]
Outcome #3: Your friends are here.
Aaron Cross: Yeah. Don't you think that strange? Wolves, they don't do that. They don't track people.
Outcome #3: Yeah, maybe they don't think you're human.
Aaron Cross: So how many of us are there?
Outcome #3: You ask too many questions.
Aaron Cross: Well, maybe you don't know either. So what are you doin' up here anyway?
Outcome #3: How do you know that I'm not evaluating you?
Aaron Cross: Oh, I don't know. Are you? Maybe I don't care.
Outcome #3: Maybe you're evaluating me.
Aaron Cross: I went off the grid for four days, that's why I'm here. Skipped my check in. Now I'm on this bullshit scavenger hunt.
Outcome #3: Yeah, well, they have their reasons.
Aaron Cross: Yeah, well, I thought I was having my wrist slapped, but now I'm not so sure. Still trying to figure out if you're supposed to kill me or give me a pep talk.
Outcome #3: Seriously, man, you think too much.
Aaron Cross: Aren't we wired to stick our nose in, you and I? There's not another person for three hundred miles. I know nobody's listening, so come on. You gotta give me something, talk to me! Come on!
Aaron Cross: Why did they pull you off the field and put you up here?
[the agent gives no answer]
Aaron Cross: It's not physical, the way you've been moving. So what did you do? Turn down assignment? Start thinking for yourself? Fall in love?
[the give ;Aaron a hard stare]
Aaron Cross: You fell in love.
[the agent gets up, gets a gun and puts in front of Aaron]
Outcome #3: It's better for wolves. There's an amo box by the door, you take as much as you need. We're done talking. You ate, you're pulling out early, you should hit it.
Aaron Cross: Okay. Some other time, then.
Outcome #3: Yeah.
Aaron Cross: Thanks.
Outcome #3: Good luck.
[we see Aaron in his bed in the cabin, he turns on the light and sees the names of the other agents that had previously stayed in the cabin carved in the walls and ceiling, including Jason Bourne's]
[we see Eric talking to a military general regarding the termination of his Outcome agents in the field]
Eric Byer: I think we need to clarify something here, Don.
Lt. Gen. Paulsen: Clarify what?
Eric Byer: You keep using the word unacceptable, and I wanna know exactly what you think you mean by hat?
Lt. Gen. Paulsen: Unacceptable means exactly that! I don't like what you're telling me, I don't like how you're telling me. We're at a critical phase on four missions, Rick. The intelligence loss, if we stop now, it couldn't be quantified.
Eric Byer: Yes, actually, it could. You'd be right back to where you were before we delivered the program.
Lt. Gen. Paulsen: Don't tell me there's a problem with Outcome, cause I'd be hearing about it.
Eric Byer: I didn't say there was.
Lt. Gen. Paulsen: You're not saying much of anything.
[we see that in South Korea yellow pills are being given to an Outcome agent to be taken instead of the blue and green pills; then we're back to the scene with
Lt. Gen. Paulsen: Do you understand their full utility? We just set Iran's missile program back thirty six months with one deep cover agent. The best action recon out of North Korea in the last two years came from Outcome.
Eric Byer: I'm fully aware of this.
Lt. Gen. Paulsen: Do you know how long we waited to get a real long-term operative inside Pakistani ISI? You're asking me to wipe the most valuable intel gathering assets we've ever put in the field!
Eric Byer: We're shutting things down immediately. And this contingency was covered loud and clear.
[we see an Outcome agent in Pakistan taking one of the yellow pills; then back to the scene with Eric and the general]
Lt. Gen. Paulsen: Tell me this isn't why we're having this conversation.
[he points to the newspaper article about the CIA program]
Lt. Gen. Paulsen: Jason Bourne got away, didn't he? That's what this is all about, isn't it? I have visibility on every action program in this system, except yours. I'm sick of hearing the reason I can't do something or see something is because it hasn't cleared the National Research ASSAY Group. Where do you pull this kind of weight?
Eric Byer: Don, I'm a patriot, the same as you are. I bleed over this, the same way you do. But you and I have our jobs because we've got the strength to do what's necessary. And I'm sorry, but right now, this is it.
[we then see Outcome agents dying, in South Korea, Pakistan and America, after taking the yellow pill]
[the next morning as Aaron is preparing to leave the cabin, it's snowing heavily outside]
Outcome #3: It's really coming down out there, getting ugly.
Aaron Cross: Oh, yeah? Well, maybe I should try to get ahead of it, huh?
Outcome #3: No, it's too late for that. Just stick around. I need some help squaring the place away anyway.
Aaron Cross: Yeah, I don't know. I already have to do that medication write up. I don't know if I wanna have to explain my itinerary as well. You know what I mean?
Outcome #3: Don't worry about the chems, I got that covered.
Aaron Cross: I'm gonna have a look.
[Aaron goes outside to check the snow, he hears a noise and turns to the other agent]
Aaron Cross: You hearing that?
[the other agent goes inside to turn on the radio]
Aaron Cross: You expecting anything?
Outcome #3: In this weather, without a heads up?
Aaron Cross: Well, it's definitely getting closer.
[he walks back into the cabin]
Aaron Cross: What you got?
Outcome #3: Nothin', man. I got nothin'.
Aaron Cross: Is it working?
Outcome #3: Yeah, it's working. The gear's fine, it's not the gear.
Aaron Cross: Well, maybe it's a resupply.
Outcome #3: They were here yesterday and they can't land in this anyway.
Aaron Cross: Who the hell is it?
Outcome #3: I don't know. I don't know. We should spread.
Aaron Cross: Yeah. Look, I'll take the nest. Let me know when you get eyes on it, okay?
Outcome #3: Yeah.
[Aaron leaves the cabin taking his kit, as he leaves suddenly the cabin is shot by a missile making it explodes, killing the other agent, however, in the military base the soldiers detect Aaron's signal and send back the drone to track him, Aaron quickly covers his stomach with a metal plate to block the signal coming off his implanted signaling device and shoots the drone]
[after Eric has been told about the drone being shot down in the mountain]
Eric Byer: It didn't just go down, it was shot down. They're sure of that?
Dita Mandy: That's what I was told.
Eric Byer: By who? With what?
Dita Mandy: They don't know. They were sourcing a second signal when it happened.
[to Eric, after they've decided to send another drone to where Aaron's location]
Dita Mandy: They've crossed the signal. It's Aaron Cross.
[at the military base, trying to locate Aaron's signal for the drone to be sent]
Drone Spec: There's the signal. Signal is hot, Solo. Signal is up and live. Right, here we go.
Drone Pilot: Where's that been?
Drone Spec: Doesn't matter now, it's mine.
[Back in the mountain, Aaron cuts out the signal detector from his stomach and puts it in his mouth; back at the military base]
Drone Spec: Copy, Solo. Strong signal.
Drone Pilot: What kind of weapons is this guy operating?
Dita Mandy: He's probably got a rifle.
Eric Byer: It's a high powered rifle. What's our time frame here?
Drone Pilot: Fifteen minutes, plus or minus. Just trying to factor the storm.
[as the drone is coming back for Aaron, he attacks a pack of wolves, traps one of them and scares the rest with gunshots, he wrestles with the wolf he's trapped and places the signal detector in its mouth; back at the military base]
Eric Byer: Where are we?
Drone Pilot: Thirty seconds.
[back in the mountains, Aaron and the wolf are looking at each other]
Aaron Cross: Should have left me alone.
[suddenly Aaron hears the drone getting close]
Drone Pilot: Arming missile. Missile away.
[Aaron and the wolf start running]
Drone Pilot: There he goes. He's moving now.
Eric Byer: Not for long.
[suddenly the missile hits its target and kills the wolf instead of Aaron]
Drone Pilot: Target destroyed. Copy, Solo. Kill confirmed. Target destroyed.
[after thinking that Aaron has been killed, Eric has flashback to when he was working with Aaron in the field]
Eric Byer: We need to talk. I need you to stop what you're doing and turn around, that's an order.
[Aaron ignores him, lowers the tailgate of a truck and deposits his sniper rifle in the, he closes the tailgate and turns to face Eric]
Eric Byer: 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?
Eric Byer: No, it's not. Tune into to what I'm trying to say to you. Do you know what a Sin Eater is?
[Aaron shakes his head]
Eric Byer: Well, that's what we are. We are the Sin Eaters. It means that we take the moral excrement that we find in this equation 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 and Eric stare at each other for a moment]
Aaron Cross: Will that be all?
[referring to Aaron's wound]
Eric Byer: Stitch that up. We'll put you on a plane to Yemen in six hours.
Aaron Cross: I'll be ready.
[Eric walks off then we're back at the military base where Eric is standing]
[as they look at Pamela Landy's file]
Terrence Ward: How can she be coming at us?
Eric Byer: You know, I need you to stay calm, Terry. Okay?
Terrence Ward: They're giving her a senate hearing. How can you not see that as a problem? She knows Bourne, she knows Blackbriar, she knows Hirsch. She's got a handle on the whole Goddamn operation! I don't see how the hell you can be so calm about this!
Eric Byer: Well, what can she say?
Terrence Ward: What can she say? What if she gets up there and she says; Treadstone, Blackbriar, you think that was it? You think that Jason Bourne was the whole story? Sorry, there's a lot more going on here. What if she tells them that Treadstone was just the tip of the iceberg?
Eric Byer: Look, you wanna sweat something, worry about Alcom, cause we're still not out of the woods. But as far as our other programs, she doesn't know that much.
Terrence Ward: How do you know that?!
Mark Turso: Because we're tapping everything she says and does. Phones, emails, cars, house, lawyer. She was cooked the minute she hitched her wagon to Jason Bourne. She aided and abetted an international fugitive, she prevented the agency from shutting down a rogue operation. She violated every oath and code of conduct that matters. For Christ's sake, she brought the son of a bitch back to America. Now, God knows what her motives are, but it's clear that protecting this country is not one of them. That used to be called treason.
[after Marta manages to avoid getting killed by Foite, who kills the scientists and himself at Sterisyn Morlanta labs, Marta is at the police station when she has flashback to when she once examined Aaron at the lab, she looks at his hand]
Dr. Marta Shearing: Oh, that has healed well. Any diminished sensation?
Aaron Cross: Nope.
[referring to the injection she's preparing]
Aaron Cross: You trying to put me down, doc?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Well, I'm afraid there's been a few gaps in your sample delivery, so.
Aaron Cross: Uh-oh.
Dr. Marta Shearing: We need a full work up.
Aaron Cross: Another one? Why? Just cause I missed a blood drop?
[Marta doesn't answer]
Aaron Cross: So, how do you think it works, doc? That we can just call it timeout? Everything stops while you pull your samples?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Well, why don't you lie down and relax.
Aaron Cross: Yeah. What...what do you think that we do out there?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Okay, that's enough information.
Aaron Cross: No, I... Ah, well, you're just a doctor.
Dr. Marta Shearing: You know we're on camera.
Aaron Cross: Really? Is that why you make such an attractive appearance?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Okay. Why don't count back from a hundred, please?
[Aaron starts counting back in Russian]
[as Marta is at home, preparing to leave the country, two CIA agents visit her; as the two agents walk into her house]
Dr. Connie Dowd: Thanks for letting us come out. This is a remarkable property. What a project?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Yeah. I really don't wanna talk about the house. Not unless you wanna buy it.
[Marta takes them into her living room]
Dr. Marta Shearing: Uh...sit, I guess. Please. Just so you know, okay, I didn't know anything about this meeting until an hour ago. Nobody last night said make time, or pick a time, or anything like that. And then this morning I buy a plane ticket to see my sister and suddenly it's Def-Con 4 around here. And that is not paranoia, okay? That is pretty much directly in my face!
Dr. Connie Dowd: Understood.
Larry: Should we not be paying attention?
Dr. Connie Dowd: Can you leave us alone, Larry?
[Larry leaves the room]
[after Larry leaves the room]
Dr. Connie Dowd: Look, you've just been through an extremely traumatic experience.
Dr. Marta Shearing: Yeah. Doctor of what? What are you?
Dr. Connie Dowd: Clinical psychology.
Dr. Marta Shearing: Oh. So what do you do? You uh...you give grief counseling to spies?
Dr. Connie Dowd: You have a very unusual security clearance, Marta. You should expect that buying a ticket to Montreal without telling anyone would set off some bells.
Dr. Connie Dowd: What do you think is going on?
Dr. Marta Shearing: What I'm trying to do is not think! I just...I wanna stop thinking!
Dr. Connie Dowd: Have you discussed those feelings with anyone else? Your sister? Friends?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Are you for real?
Dr. Connie Dowd: What about Peter Boyd?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Wow. Okay. So we're into everything, is that it? Is there anything off limits here?
Dr. Connie Dowd: Have you ever read your employment security contract?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Have I read my...? If you're asking me whether I understand my disclosure restrictions? Yes, I have a PhD in Biochemistry, Postdoctoral Fellowships in barology and genetics! I know how to read! What I don't understand is why my colleague has a psychotic episode and shot everyone in the lab? Are you aware of what we do in there? Are you? I mean, how do I know that you're even cleared for this conversation?
Dr. Connie Dowd: Have you discussed anything to do with the incident with anyone other than the investigators?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Peter Boyd moved out six months ago. Oh, but I guess you already know that! And, no, I haven't spoken to him!
Dr. Connie Dowd: You stated that you and Dr. Foite had no relationship outside of work?
Dr. Marta Shearing: None.
Dr. Connie Dowd: There was material in his apartment that indicates he had an unusual fixation with you.
[Marta looks at Dowd in shock]
Dr. Connie Dowd: Photographs, journal entries. They found several articles of clothing.
Dr. Marta Shearing: Wha...what?!
Dr. Connie Dowd: Did you ever rebuff him in any way?
Dr. Marta Shearing: No! No! No! I...I...I always thought he was gay!
Dr. Connie Dowd: Look, no one's suggesting that you're responsible for what happened.
Dr. Marta Shearing: Oh, thank you!
Dr. Connie Dowd: Survivors often experience feelings of guilt. Those feelings can be amplified by the realization that he let you live.
Dr. Marta Shearing: That he let me live? Have you seen the video?! Do you really think that's what it shows?! You are asking all the wrong questions!
Dr. Connie Dowd: What should I be asking, Marta?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Has anyone looked at Dr. Foite's bloodwork? Have they? I mean, that is the only thing that is going to make any sense here. His behavior was...look, there are projects at Sterisyn, defence projects that could explain why he did what he did. And people there are working on...on behavioural design. It's programmable behavior, neural design. Do you...do you understand what I'm telling you? I think he was exposed to something at the lab, because...
[suddenly Larry walks in the room, carrying Marta's gun]
Larry: Found it.
Dr. Marta Shearing: What are you doing? That's my gun! What the hell is this?
Larry: You're a potential suicide risk.
Dr. Marta Shearing: Wait a minute! How did you find...?
[she turns to Dowd]
Dr. Marta Shearing: How did he find that?!
Dr. Connie Dowd: Marta.
Dr. Marta Shearing: No! No! Okay! This meeting's now over! I want you both out of here, right now!
Dr. Connie Dowd: Marta...
Dr. Marta Shearing: No! He has been snooping around my house!
Dr. Connie Dowd: Marta, I want to sign off here today! I want to let you get on that plane! But you have gotta help us out! Look, we have got to do our job here, okay? We have got to go through this. I need to know that you are calm and sage before I leave here, and I need to know that you understand the rules before you get on that plane. Please, just...please, sit down. And let us get through our questions.
Dr. Marta Shearing: Okay.
[Marta sits, as he she does Dowd nods her head at Larry and they suddenly grab hold of Marta's arms and legs]
Dr. Marta Shearing: Get off! Jesus! What is this?! What the hell is this?!
[to Larry]
Dr. Connie Dowd: Ready?
Dr. Marta Shearing: No!
Larry: Close.
Dr. Marta Shearing: What are you doing?!
[Larry forces Marta's gun into her hand]
Dr. Marta Shearing: Hey, get off me!
Dr. Connie Dowd: Set?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Get the hell of me, now!
[Larry cocks Marta's gun with her hand on it]
Larry: Set! Ready!
[just as Larry forces Marta's hand with the gun towards her head Aaron appears and saves her]
[after he's killed the agents that had tried to kill Marta in her home, Aaron finds Marta hiding in terror in a room, Marta starts shooting her gun, but it's empty]
Aaron Cross: Hey. Unless you reloaded, the gun's empty.
[Marta carries on shooting the empty gun]
Aaron Cross: Hey. Hey. Look! Look! I'm not shooting. It's me. I'm not here to hurt you.
Dr. Marta Shearing: How did you...? That was you?!
Aaron Cross: Yes. Ssh! Listen to me. Do you wanna live? Look at me. Do you wanna live? Do you wanna live?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Yes!
Aaron Cross: Good. Let go of this gun.
Dr. Marta Shearing: How is this possible?
Aaron Cross: Let go.
[he takes her gun from her hands]
Aaron Cross: Take this.
[he gives her one of his guns]
Aaron Cross: Good. Now, I need you to do exactly what I say.
Dr. Marta Shearing: How is this possible?
Aaron Cross: Listen to me! Exactly what I say. Understand?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Yes.
Aaron Cross: Good.
[as one of the agents is still alive and looking for them, Aaron hides in a closet by the stairs, Marta stays where she is holding the gun Aaron gave her, suddenly Marta shoots her gun whilst looking at the watch Aaron gave her, then Aaron shoots his gun from behind the door and kills the agent]
[after Aaron has killed the last CIA agent at Marta's house]
Aaron Cross: Hey, doc? I need my watch!
[Marta slowly gets up and walks out of the room]
Aaron Cross: Doc, I need my watch!
[she walks towards him, holding out his watch and he comes towards her]
Aaron Cross: Are there chems in this house?
[Marta, still in shock, doesn't answer]
Aaron Cross: Program medication?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Are they all dead?
Aaron Cross: Yeah, they're dead. Look at me. Look at me! Do you have program medication here?
Dr. Marta Shearing: What?
Aaron Cross: Chems? Greens. Blues. Do you have them here?
Dr. Marta Shearing: No! No!
Aaron Cross: No?
Dr. Marta Shearing: No! Here?
Aaron Cross: Yeah.
Dr. Marta Shearing: No!
Aaron Cross: Well, where then? Where? Where do you have them?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Where?
Aaron Cross: Where do you keep the chems?
Dr. Marta Shearing: I don't know.
Aaron Cross: Dr. Shearing, where are there chems?! I need chems!
Dr. Marta Shearing: I don't know. I understand, but I don't know. I...I...I...we...it's not something we...we do barology control, so all of that happens...we don't have medication, we... If I had any I would give it to you.
[he takes hold of her face, looks at her and he sees she's not lying, he looks at his watch]
Aaron Cross: Okay, listen to me. We have less than eight minutes to clear out of here, okay?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Yes.
Aaron Cross: Good. Cause the next thing coming through that door is gonna wipe us out.
[he then burns down her house and they escape together]
[as they drive away after setting fire to Marta's house]
Dr. Marta Shearing: Where are we going?
Aaron Cross: June. Your name is June. June Monroe. Say it.
Dr. Marta Shearing: June Monroe.
Aaron Cross: Say it!
Dr. Marta Shearing: June Monroe!
Aaron Cross: Now pick a place to live, the last place you lived, a place you know.

Aaron Cross: Bethesda, then that's where you live. Anybody ask, you're June Monroe from Bethesda. You lost your wallet, I'm driving you home. My name is James. James and June, you got it?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Yeah.
Aaron Cross: Okay.
[as they continue to drive away from Marta's house]
Dr. Marta Shearing: Is that your name?
Aaron Cross: James? No! What? You don't know my name?!
[Marta shakes her head]
Aaron Cross: What do you call me? What do you put on my bloodwork?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Five.
Aaron Cross: Five? The number five?
[Marta nods her head]
Aaron Cross: Do you know how many times we've met? Thirteen. Thirteen exams over the last four years, and that's what I get. I'm a number? Number five. Okay, five of what then? How many are we?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Program participants.
Aaron Cross: That's what you call us?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Uh...there were...there were nine, then six.
Aaron Cross: Participants.
Dr. Marta Shearing: How did you find me?
Aaron Cross: Well, what do you think? They're gonna kill all of us and then just leave you guys alone? You think your colleague just went crazy? Is that what you think?
Dr. Marta Shearing: I...I...I didn't think anything!
Aaron Cross: They wound him up and set him lose!
Dr. Marta Shearing: I really...I really have no idea what is going on!
Aaron Cross: Well, what's going on is they're shutting the whole thing down. That's what's going on.
Dr. Marta Shearing: Who's...who's they? I don't know...I don't know....! Who were the people at the house?!
Aaron Cross: No! No!
Dr. Marta Shearing: Who were they?! I don't know who they were!
Aaron Cross: No! No! Look, you had your chance, okay! You've been bleeding, and scoping, and scalping me since the day we met! It's my turn now! I'm asking the questions! You got it? I need to program meds, okay? I need program meds. Where do you keep the chems?
Dr. Marta Shearing: I don't have any. I already told you, we don't have it.
Aaron Cross: Bullshit!
Dr. Marta Shearing: No, I really don't!
Aaron Cross: That's bullshit!
Dr. Marta Shearing: I don't...
Aaron Cross: That's Bullshit!
Dr. Marta Shearing: I don't have any!
Aaron Cross: So you don't know anything? Are you just the help? That's why you have the big house and the security clearance, right? That's why they're trying so hard to kill you, because don't know anything!
Dr. Marta Shearing: I know my job! Which is science! I don't know what you do when you...when you leave the lab! None of us do!
Aaron Cross: For four years!
Dr. Marta Shearing: Look, I wanna get out! Would you please stop the car!
Aaron Cross: You can't be that naive?
Dr. Marta Shearing: Would you let me out of the car!
Aaron Cross: There's no way you're that naive!
[Aaron suddenly pulls to the car to the edge of the road and stops]
Aaron Cross: 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?
[Marta says nothing]
