"But your strategy," "No matter how noble the rhetoric," "Is betrayed" "And, inevitably, defined by your actions." "This isn't about conservation." "It's about consolidation." "We are what we do, ace." "What do you want?" "A list" "Identifying every member and operative" "In the mombasa cartel," "Their business entities and distribution networks." "Or?" "Or I shoot you." "Here." "Now." "Hey, alejandro." "That's a real sweet song." "What do you think, joe?" "Yeah, me, too." "Status?" "Male subject downstairs." "Female upstairs, bathroom." "Already?"

"He was left to die," "Chained to a standpipe in the basement" "Of a squalid brothel in nairobi," "Branded, burned," "Barely alive." "So I took him." "Made him well," "Saw to his education." "He graduated university" "With a bachelor's degree in english literature." "He speaks four languages fluently" "And can get by in a half a dozen more." "He is Splendid." "His name is dembe." "Dembe zuma." "Raymond," "Don't." "That was then." "It serves no purpose to kill him now." "You see that, geoff?" "That is what a good man does." "That is what separates men like him" "From men like you." "And me." "I've been thinking about what to do with you." "To tell you the truth, I haven't made a decision yet." "The other day was close." "I thought about telling reddington." "He'd know what to do." "But the truth is, this is my responsibility." "One way or the other." "I've answered all your questions." "Liz." "You can't hide me forever."
