Michael A. Goorjian: Borz Altan

Quotes 

• Annie Walker : Who financed the attack in Chicago?

  [dying prisoner just coughs and wheezes] 

  Annie Walker : Is all this pain really worth protecting people... who couldn't care less about you?

  Borz Altan : You don't know what you're talking about.

  Annie Walker : The man you met in Maracaibo had a gun in his hand.

  [shakes her head] 

  Annie Walker : He wasn't there to help you. He was there for one reason, to close... the loop. The people you were working with were ready to discard you as soon as you fulfilled your purpose to them.

  [lies down next to him] 

  Annie Walker : Let's talk about Oksana.

  Borz Altan : Oksana? What happened to her?

  [yells:] 

  Borz Altan : What happened to her?

• Annie Walker : You asked about Oksana. She's alive. You left her behind in Chicago and we got her. She's not in a good place. You could imagine what they're doing to her. You left her, and now people are hurting her for information you have. Tell me what I need to know and I will help Oksana.

  [silence from him] 

  Annie Walker : Who planned the attack in Chicago?

  Borz Altan : I don't know. Everything was so careful. No one was supposed to know. They planned it this way.

  Annie Walker : "They" who? I need a name, Borz.

  [he suffers in silence] 

  Annie Walker : What was the name of your contact in Maracaibo?

  Borz Altan : [weakly]  I never knew his name.

  Annie Walker : I know you know something. Tell me. Tell me for Oksana.

  Borz Altan : I went to Washington once, for Intel about CIA protocols.

  Annie Walker : When?

  Borz Altan : It was spring... There was snow on the ground.

  Annie Walker : Where in Washington?

  Borz Altan : [in pain]  Oh... You won't find security footage... of us.

  [feint smile] 

  Borz Altan : We were very careful.

  Annie Walker : "We"? It was a meet, not a dead drop?

  Borz Altan : [wheezing]  Yes.

  Annie Walker : I need a name.

  Borz Altan : I only knew him... as the Postman.

  Annie Walker : That's not good enough.

  Borz Altan : It's all I have.

  Annie Walker : How did he know about the facility? Was he CIA?

  [prisoner coughs] 

  Annie Walker : NSA?

  Borz Altan : I don't know.

  [wheezing] 

  Annie Walker : I can't help Oksana if I can't identify him.

  Borz Altan : [very weak]  I swear to you. It's all I know.

  [she looks down] 

  Borz Altan : On Oksana.

  Annie Walker : What did he look like?

  [the guy is slipping away] 

  Annie Walker : Borz?

  [he's dead]
