Paul Blackthorne: Xavier
Quotes
-
Thomas Magnum : Xavier, we normally deal with clients on the right side of the law. Um, contract killers don't really fit into that category.
Xavier : You can say what you want about my profession, but even I have limits. I'd never kill a kid.
Juliet Higgins : Well, that's very noble of you. And not that we doubt you, but we would appreciate a few more specifics.
Xavier : The person who ordered the hit contacted me anonymously through the Dark Web.
Juliet Higgins : What engine and what directory?
Xavier : I browse through Whonix. Clients contact me through Dread.
Thomas Magnum : [muting the call] That legit?
Juliet Higgins : Yeah.
Xavier : [Magnum unmutes the call] This is an honest conversation, Thomas. No need to mute yourself.
[realizing they're being watched, Magnum and Higgins begin looking around]
Xavier : And quit looking around. You won't find me.
Thomas Magnum : You got a weapon trained on us?
Xavier : No. I just wish to protect my anonymity. I'm not gonna kill you even if you decide to walk away.
Juliet Higgins : That's very gracious of you.
Xavier : Besides, I already know that you're gonna help me.
Thomas Magnum : And why is that?
Xavier : Because after I turned down this job, I realized that whoever tried to hire me would just hire someone else to carry out the hit. So if you turn down this case, an innocent girl will die. And I don't think you're the kind of people that will let that happen.
Juliet Higgins : You're right. Continue.
Xavier : The girl is currently in hiding. I don't know where. But everything I have on her, along with my screen grabs and correspondence with the client, are on the phone that you're holding.
Juliet Higgins : And we can contact you at this number?
Xavier : No. After this call, you'll never hear from me again. I've done my part. Now you do yours. Good luck.

Juliet Higgins : You could have told us you had Anna when you hired us.
Xavier : I couldn't tell anyone. It was the only way to keep her safe.
Thomas Magnum : That's not the only reason why you stuck around, is it?
Xavier : What do you mean?
Thomas Magnum : You wanted us to figure out who put the hit on Anna so you can take 'em out.
Xavier : I can't keep Anna here forever. Eliminating the threat is the only long-term solution.

Xavier : Thomas, Juliet. Thanks for showing up. This is your client, Xavier. Sorry about the theatrics, but I wish to remain anonymous.
Thomas Magnum : And why is that?
Xavier : Because of the nature of this case. I have information that someone has taken out a hit on a 12-year-old girl. I want you to find out who ordered it.
Juliet Higgins : Well, how do you even know about this?
Xavier : Because I'm the hitman they hired.
