Jordan Ho: Jonathan

Quotes 

• Jonathan : Oliver Lee is in the hands of the Americans.

  Henry Wilcox : And this woman is to blame. Check your sources. I'm sure they have implicated a dark-haired American woman in connection with Oliver's abduction.

  Jonathan : And what do you want in return?

  Henry Wilcox : Asylum. And protection.

  [nods] 

  Jonathan : [cold eyes as his phone camera clicks portrait of bewildered Annie's face]  I'll be right back.

  [leaves] 

  Henry Wilcox : [to Annie]  The saddest fact of all is you went dark for nothing. This audacious gambit, uh, this... brusque persona, this...

  [smirks] 

  Henry Wilcox : hair... You went all out. You gave up so much. And it simply wasn't worth it.

  [gloating:] 

  Henry Wilcox : You simply weren't cunning enough.

  Jonathan : [door opens, he returns]  You were right about her.

  [smiles] 

  Jonathan : My superiors are most thankful.

  [hands Henry his reward] 

  Jonathan : Go here. We will find a place for you.

  Henry Wilcox : Pleasure doing business.

  Jonathan : The pleasure is all mine.

  [Annie wants to say something to Henry, but gives up] 

  Henry Wilcox : I'm sure you don't believe it, but...

  [as she shakes her head:] 

  Henry Wilcox : I'm truly sorry this has to end.

  [nods] 

  Henry Wilcox : Goodbye.

  [leaves] 

  Jonathan : [to Annie]  Well, you can call me Jonathan. And your name?

  [she answers in Cantonese that her name doesn't matter] 

  Jonathan : Ah, your Cantonese is good. Please. Sit.

  [she does so] 

  Jonathan : We'll figure out your name soon enough.

  [he grins, she looks desperate]
