Quotes 

• President Elias Martinez : Why are we holding them? Have they committed any acts of aggression?

  Blake Sterling : We're holding them because they refuse to tell us the truth. About who they really are, why they are really here, or what they really want. They have a hidden agenda, sir. I know it in my bones.

• President Elias Martinez : I'm done. The deal's off. You're going back to Inostranka. You and your people will stay there until I get the truth.

  Sophia Maguire : That would be a mistake, Mr. President. My people have been waiting for 66 years. Their patience is running out.

  President Elias Martinez : Is that a threat?

  Sophia Maguire : You wanted the truth. I'm giving it too you.
