Quotes5

  • Kerrigan: Go back to America. Get out of Belfast, you're in danger here. Ingrid, it's finished.
  • Ingrid Jessner: Not for them, it isn't. Not for Nevin and the others. They're not going to disappear, you know they're still in place. I have a plane to catch, Mr. Kerrigan.
  • Ingrid Jessner: Mr. Kerrigan, how far you'll be willing to go with this?
  • Kerrigan: If... and it's still a big if, if Harris is in anyway connect with the shooting I don't care whose toes I tread on, he becomes part of the investigation. No more, no less. Okay?
  • Ingrid Jessner: Are you going to do anything about this?
  • Kerrigan: There's nothing I can do.
  • Ingrid Jessner: They've committed murder and treason at 11'o clock this morning, a man was assassinated by orders of the British Intelligence and you could do nothing?
  • Kerrigan: I wish I could.
  • Ingrid Jessner: You have credentials I don't have, your reputation brought you here, people would listen to you.
  • Kerrigan: With you as my witness? A member of a civil liberties group who accuses the British government of torture and shoot to kill policy.
  • Ingrid Jessner: "I don't care whose toes I tread on." That's what you said, and I believed it.
  • Kerrigan: Look, I have to go...
  • Ingrid Jessner: Go!
  • Kerrigan: I'm a policeman.
  • Ingrid Jessner: Yes, you are.
  • Kerrigan: The men responsible for Paul's death will be charged.
  • Ingrid Jessner: You know and you'll do nothing.
  • Kerrigan: I can't win with these people...
  • Ingrid Jessner: You'll just close your eyes.
  • Kerrigan: Forget it and go home.
  • Ingrid Jessner: That's how Fascism starts! So what do you think of your fine British law now, Mr. Kerrigan?
  • Kerrigan: It has nothing to do with law and police...
  • Ingrid Jessner: What is it, then?
  • Kerrigan: It's politics.
  • Ingrid Jessner: To enforce the rules of a police state IS politics. Good guys like you cover up so bad guys are safe. You're a puppet and the men pulling the strings know it.
  • Kerrigan: What happened to the film?
  • Ingrid Jessner: Never got made.
  • Kerrigan: Too controversial?
  • Ingrid Jessner: Too honest, I think. It was about how Mr. Kissinger, the CIA and the Pentagon have made Chile safe for democracy.
  • Paul Sullivan: I don't believe it.
  • Ingrid Jessner: Tribal rites.
  • Paul Sullivan: It's frightening.
