Haaz Sleiman: Khalid Ansari

Quotes 

• Annie Walker : Killing you would be the easiest thing in the world right now. But it won't solve anything.

  Khalid Ansari : So, why are you here... if not to kill me?

  Annie Walker : I'm here on behalf of Megan.

  [lowers pistol] 

  Khalid Ansari : How could that be? You killed her.

  Annie Walker : No, I didn't.

  Khalid Ansari : The CIA did.

  Annie Walker : When I tell you who did it, you're gonna realize... how insignificant you are.

  [retrieves documents from jacket's inside pocket] 

  Annie Walker : This is from the CIA file on your dad's company.

  [hands him the file, and as he opens it:] 

  Annie Walker : You recognize that man?

  Khalid Ansari : That's my father's bodyguard.

  Annie Walker : He killed Megan. I saw him. Your father ordered it.

  Khalid Ansari : This is impossible. My father told me it was the CIA.

  Annie Walker : Look at the file.

  [as he does:] 

  Annie Walker : I know what real love is. I saw that in Megan's eyes when she talked about you. Your father took that.

  Khalid Ansari : Why?

  Annie Walker : Perhaps he disapproved of your engagement. Perhaps he assumed she was a spy. Regardless, he had her killed.

  [as he stares at the photo of Megan's dead body:] 

  Annie Walker : You think you're his good son. His faithful servant, his trusted advisor. To him, you're nothing. You're gonna get on that helicopter, and you're gonna be filled with anger and questions. And on the long ride home, I want you to remember... that day in Paris, when you first told Megan you loved her, and what that felt like. You want a list of the names that betrayed you? Look no further than your father. He's the root of your problem.

  [as she retreats:] 

  Annie Walker : What you do with that information is up to you.

  [runs off]
