Prince Ahmed Bin Khaled: The attackers wore police uniforms. Your uniforms. Some of your men may have been involved with this cell. May still be involved.

Understood?

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: Yes, Your Highness.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: You cannot touch evidence. Please leave it. You cannot question anyone without me present, touch a dead Muslim, or leave my sight at any time. Your safety is my primary concern.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: And you would be mistaken.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: I'm forty-two years old. I have two daughters and a son. Beautiful son. And I find myself in a place where I no longer care about why we are attacked. I only care that one hundred people woke up a few mornings ago, and had no idea it was their last. When we catch the man who murdered these people, I don't care to ask even one question. I want to kill him. Do you understand?

Ronald Fleury: Yes, I do.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: Believe me, I know. That's why I want you to use all your energy, anger, and frustration as a tool to drive us to capture those criminals and bring them to justice.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: You're not safe at night.

Grant Sykes: [sarcastically] Oh, we're safe during the day, huh?

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: We need more security here before we go on.

Ronald Fleury: Are you fucking kidding me? You got a fucking army.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: I'm not kidding you, okay? And don't talk to me with this language.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: This is not a game show, Mr. Fleury. And definitely there are no deals made here. There is me telling you what you may or may not do. And there is you doing it. That's it.

Ronald Fleury: This is too pretty of a plan to be hatched in just one day. He had to come here a couple of times.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: This man is a Saudi. See, if foreigners were here, someone would say something.

Ronald Fleury: So maybe Abu Hamza?

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: Could be.

Ronald Fleury: Yeah. Then we should ask around. Get out of here and some people...

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: [interrupting] They won't tell you anything.

Ronald Fleury: Why not?

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: He's like Robin Hood to you. People feel sympathy to him.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: Tonight, we have the dinner in the palace. Uh, Miss Mayes, she can't be there. It's only men.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: A dog, uh... a dog's more bigger than a fish.

Ronald Fleury: So why'd you get into this, Al Ghazi?

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: Into what?

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: It's because of, uh, The Green Beast.

Ronald Fleury: The what?

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: The Green Beast.

Ronald Fleury: What the hell is The Green Beast?

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: It's a TV show when I was kid. You know, a man who turns green when he's very angry, he turns green and...

Ronald Fleury: Oh, oh, yeah, The Hulk.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: Yeah, you know. He was killing just bad people because they did wrong.

Grant Sykes: Then what are you doing?

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: Fingers.
