Adib Abdul-Kareem
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [taking a swig out of a bottle to determine if the whiskey is the real thing or a knock off] It's real.
- Fatima: You drink now.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: Not as much as I'd like.
- Paul Ridge: [about Muna going to the national archives] What was she researching?
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [after a long pause] Me.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [after Paul unexpectedly shows up and helps him out of a fight with Halim and his thugs] So now you're following me too?
- Paul Ridge: [lifting him out of the fountain where he ended up in the fight] You're welcome.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [about Halim as Paul helps him up the stairs] He asked me if I had some photos on my daughter's phone. Were there any? Try telling me the truth this time.
- Paul Ridge: No, there's nothing there. There're no photos.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [pausing on the stairs to digest the information] Okay.
- Paul Ridge: I'm telling you the truth. There are no photos. I care about your daughter too.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [sarcastically] I wonder... where you find the time.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: There's an asshole following me around asking about photos. He one of yours?
- Sayid Abd Al-Aziz: I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: Sayid, if you want me to leave you alone, and I know you do, I'm going to need your help. You and I both know that you don't want this case reopened. I am innocent after all.
- Sayid Abd Al-Aziz: No one's going to believe you.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: True... but they will believe I had help... and we're old friends, everybody knows that. And I won't stop there. I'll implicate your wife, and your beloved daughters - the whole nest of Israeli spies. I'm not the same man you chased away all those years ago. *Find*... *my*... *daughter*.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: Detlev, they've taken my child.
- Detlev Ivanov: [handing him a glass] Children are always trouble. That's why I never had any. Here, drink up - be good for the headache. I always thought you'd enjoy Canada - more than Tadmor Prison anyway.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: Why haven't they arrested me?
- Detlev Ivanov: Now, that is a very interesting point. Sayid doesn't want you picked up. He doesn't want anyone going into anything. Kidnapping two Canadians from the same family already raises media speculation.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: So?
- Detlev Ivanov: Halim doesn't work for our old friend Sayid. Halim works for the Ministry of the Interior.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: Mun met with the Minister at some benefit.
- Detlev Ivanov: And now he wants to talk to you. You're lucky I showed up when I did. Out of practice, Adib.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: Halim keeps asking about photos.
- Detlev Ivanov: These photos must be pretty interesting if a government minister is personally involved.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: What do you know about a journalist, Ali Homs?
- Detlev Ivanov: [shrugging his shoulders] What about him? He's a mid-level scribe for Ministry of Information.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: Muna talked to him but I don't know where he is. I need your help, Detlev.
- Detlev Ivanov: I'll find him for you, this Ali Homs. One last favor for an old friend.
- Sayid Abd Al-Aziz: And where are those photos now?
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [moving in closer to be able to talk in a lower tone] They don't exist.
- Sayid Abd Al-Aziz: Halim seems to think they do.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: No, there are no photos. Muna heard these stories from a journalist... Ali Homs.
- Sayid Abd Al-Aziz: [laughing] And she made up the story of the photos to keep herself alive. Who would have thought you'd end up with such a clever child.
- [first lines]
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [seeing Betty shaking a locked filing cabinet drawer] Hey, you need some help?
- Betty: [giggling sheepishly] Yes.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [removing a paper clip from a pile of papers] May I?
- Betty: Yeah.
- [Adib bends the paper clip with his teeth, then inserts it into the lock, turns the paper clip, then opens the cabinet drawer]
- Betty: Wow.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [as he walks away] Misspent youth.
- [last lines]
- Muna Abdul-Kareem: [crying after breaking from the passionate embrace with her father inside the Canadian Embassy grounds] I'm so sorry.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [shaking his head negatively as he kisses her on the forehead] No.
- [they embrace and start crying again]
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Muna Abdul-Kareem: I'm so sorry.
- Adib Abdul-Kareem: [in hushed tones] I'm here. I'm here. And I love you so much.
- [Fatima looks on in the verge of tears as Adib finally starts to laugh in pleasure]
