- Thomas Magnum: Xavier, we normally deal with clients on the right side of the law. Um, contract killers don't really fit into that category.
- Xavier: You can say what you want about my profession, but even I have limits. I'd never kill a kid.
- Juliet Higgins: Well, that's very noble of you. And not that we doubt you, but we would appreciate a few more specifics.
- Xavier: The person who ordered the hit contacted me anonymously through the Dark Web.
- Juliet Higgins: What engine and what directory?
- Xavier: I browse through Whonix. Clients contact me through Dread.
- Thomas Magnum: [muting the call] That legit?
- Juliet Higgins: Yeah.
- Xavier: [Magnum unmutes the call] This is an honest conversation, Thomas. No need to mute yourself.
- [realizing they're being watched, Magnum and Higgins begin looking around]
- Xavier: And quit looking around. You won't find me.
- Thomas Magnum: You got a weapon trained on us?
- Xavier: No. I just wish to protect my anonymity. I'm not gonna kill you even if you decide to walk away.
- Juliet Higgins: That's very gracious of you.
- Xavier: Besides, I already know that you're gonna help me.
- Thomas Magnum: And why is that?
- Xavier: Because after I turned down this job, I realized that whoever tried to hire me would just hire someone else to carry out the hit. So if you turn down this case, an innocent girl will die. And I don't think you're the kind of people that will let that happen.
- Juliet Higgins: You're right. Continue.
- Xavier: The girl is currently in hiding. I don't know where. But everything I have on her, along with my screen grabs and correspondence with the client, are on the phone that you're holding.
- Juliet Higgins: And we can contact you at this number?
- Xavier: No. After this call, you'll never hear from me again. I've done my part. Now you do yours. Good luck.
- Gordon Katsumoto: The blood on your ring belongs to a professional hitter named Clint Watt, AKA the Ghost.
- Thomas Magnum: The Ghost, huh? That's a bit of a misnomer. I mean, you know the guy's name and profession. What else you got?
- Gordon Katsumoto: Well, the guy's linked to at least 27 kills, and the authorities have never been able to apprehend him, so I'd say he's earned the nickname.
- Juliet Higgins: You could have told us you had Anna when you hired us.
- Xavier: I couldn't tell anyone. It was the only way to keep her safe.
- Thomas Magnum: That's not the only reason why you stuck around, is it?
- Xavier: What do you mean?
- Thomas Magnum: You wanted us to figure out who put the hit on Anna so you can take 'em out.
- Xavier: I can't keep Anna here forever. Eliminating the threat is the only long-term solution.
- Thomas Magnum: [Jin is using a White Knight story to entertain Rick's baby] That's not how the story goes.
- Jin Jeong: It's called creative license, Magnum. You try keeping the attention of a 6-month-old baby using a book with no pictures.
- Thomas Magnum: Have you ever read a book with no pictures?
- Jin Jeong: Of course I have. That's so rude. Do menus count?
- Xavier: Thomas, Juliet. Thanks for showing up. This is your client, Xavier. Sorry about the theatrics, but I wish to remain anonymous.
- Thomas Magnum: And why is that?
- Xavier: Because of the nature of this case. I have information that someone has taken out a hit on a 12-year-old girl. I want you to find out who ordered it.
- Juliet Higgins: Well, how do you even know about this?
- Xavier: Because I'm the hitman they hired.
