Quotes 

• Adib Abdul-Kareem : [taking a swig out of a bottle to determine if the whiskey is the real thing or a knock off]  It's real.

  Fatima : You drink now.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : Not as much as I'd like.

• Paul Ridge : [about Muna going to the national archives]  What was she researching?

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [after a long pause]  Me.

• Adib Abdul-Kareem : [after Paul unexpectedly shows up and helps him out of a fight with Halim and his thugs]  So now you're following me too?

  Paul Ridge : [lifting him out of the fountain where he ended up in the fight]  You're welcome.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [about Halim as Paul helps him up the stairs]  He asked me if I had some photos on my daughter's phone. Were there any? Try telling me the truth this time.

  Paul Ridge : No, there's nothing there. There're no photos.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [pausing on the stairs to digest the information]  Okay.

  Paul Ridge : I'm telling you the truth. There are no photos. I care about your daughter too.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [sarcastically]  I wonder... where you find the time.

• Adib Abdul-Kareem : There's an asshole following me around asking about photos. He one of yours?

  Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : I have no idea what you're talking about.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : Sayid, if you want me to leave you alone, and I know you do, I'm going to need your help. You and I both know that you don't want this case reopened. I am innocent after all.

  Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : No one's going to believe you.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : True... but they will believe I had help... and we're old friends, everybody knows that. And I won't stop there. I'll implicate your wife, and your beloved daughters - the whole nest of Israeli spies. I'm not the same man you chased away all those years ago. *Find*... *my*... *daughter*.

• Adib Abdul-Kareem : Detlev, they've taken my child.

  Detlev Ivanov : [handing him a glass]  Children are always trouble. That's why I never had any. Here, drink up - be good for the headache. I always thought you'd enjoy Canada - more than Tadmor Prison anyway.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : Why haven't they arrested me?

  Detlev Ivanov : Now, that is a very interesting point. Sayid doesn't want you picked up. He doesn't want anyone going into anything. Kidnapping two Canadians from the same family already raises media speculation.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : So?

  Detlev Ivanov : Halim doesn't work for our old friend Sayid. Halim works for the Ministry of the Interior.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : Mun met with the Minister at some benefit.

  Detlev Ivanov : And now he wants to talk to you. You're lucky I showed up when I did. Out of practice, Adib.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : Halim keeps asking about photos.

  Detlev Ivanov : These photos must be pretty interesting if a government minister is personally involved.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : What do you know about a journalist, Ali Homs?

  Detlev Ivanov : [shrugging his shoulders]  What about him? He's a mid-level scribe for Ministry of Information.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : Muna talked to him but I don't know where he is. I need your help, Detlev.

  Detlev Ivanov : I'll find him for you, this Ali Homs. One last favor for an old friend.

• Adib Abdul-Kareem : [about a corpse in the morgue that could be Muna]  I need to see her eyes.

• Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : And where are those photos now?

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [moving in closer to be able to talk in a lower tone]  They don't exist.

  Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : Halim seems to think they do.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : No, there are no photos. Muna heard these stories from a journalist... Ali Homs.

  Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : [laughing]  And she made up the story of the photos to keep herself alive. Who would have thought you'd end up with such a clever child.

• [first lines] 

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [seeing Betty shaking a locked filing cabinet drawer]  Hey, you need some help?

  Betty : [giggling sheepishly]  Yes.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [removing a paper clip from a pile of papers]  May I?

  Betty : Yeah.

  [Adib bends the paper clip with his teeth, then inserts it into the lock, turns the paper clip, then opens the cabinet drawer] 

  Betty : Wow.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [as he walks away]  Misspent youth.

• [last lines] 

  Muna Abdul-Kareem : [crying after breaking from the passionate embrace with her father inside the Canadian Embassy grounds]  I'm so sorry.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [shaking his head negatively as he kisses her on the forehead]  No.

  [they embrace and start crying again] 

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

  Muna Abdul-Kareem : I'm so sorry.

  Adib Abdul-Kareem : [in hushed tones]  I'm here. I'm here. And I love you so much.

  [Fatima looks on in the verge of tears as Adib finally starts to laugh in pleasure]
