Henry Wilcox: [steering her into the lion's den, his office in Hong Kong] I have to say, you surprised me by going dark. I didn't know you had it in you.
Annie Walker: I was always the leap-first type.
Henry Wilcox: But this time, without a parachute.
Annie Walker: Oliver Lee is on a plane to D.C. With his intel, you will be tried and convicted.
Henry Wilcox: How? I'm here.
Annie Walker: But you're here alone.
[he scoffs]
Annie Walker: Completely.
Henry Wilcox: No, not completely. You're here with me. And it's fitting. Because... you and I are not so different.
Annie Walker: Yes, we are.
Henry Wilcox: It was not so long ago that we sat across from each other in that diner. And you were so excited... to see the file I had on Arthur.
Annie Walker: Arthur's alive, by the way. Joan called from the hospital.
Henry Wilcox: Medical intervention doesn't
[shakes his head]
Henry Wilcox: guarantee survival. It didn't work out so well for Teo Braga, did it?
Annie Walker: You went after Teo, Helen, Arthur, and Joan. You went after a pregnant woman. You've crossed every line, Henry.
Henry Wilcox: There is... a fable in which a frog... gives a scorpion a ride across a river. Somehow, he's surprised... when the scorpion stings him.
Annie Walker: You're the scorpion...
[nods]
Annie Walker: in this scenario, I assume?
Henry Wilcox: And to explain his actions, the scorpion simply says: "I'm a scorpion. It's my nature." You all seem to think I should be something different... But I'm not.
Annie Walker: You're a traitor.
Henry Wilcox: No. I'm no traitor. I'm just a man who's willing to take actions based on his convictions.
[places pistol on table]
Henry Wilcox: If you say I'm a traitor,
[shakes his head]
Henry Wilcox: then you must wanna kill me. There's your opportunity.
Annie Walker: [grabs it, but only to instantly eject the magazine] It's empty.
Henry Wilcox: How did you know that?
Annie Walker: Because you are a scorpion. And every word out of your mouth is a lie.
