Tom Mullen:
Why would they ever let my son go, no matter what I do? I mean, no matter what I do... pay, don't pay, comply, tell him to go f*** himself - why would they give him back? I mean, he's a witness any way you cut it. It's all bullshit, it's all just... seven out of ten.

Kate Mullen:
What are you saying?

Tom Mullen:
All right: Morlock Man gets his money, I don't think we'll ever see Sean again. That's if he's still alive to begin with.

Agent Lonnie Hawkins:
Whoa, now. Are you talking about not paying?

Kate Mullen:
No! No, we pay him!

Tom Mullen:
Now wait a minute. Listen to me... Morlock man says the pickup guy will give me an address for Sean. I get there, the guy sticks a gun in my face. I said, "You want the money, now give me the address? Where's the address?" You should've seen his face. He had no, absolutely NO idea what I was talking about. None!

Agent Lonnie Hawkins:
Okay...

Tom Mullen:
This is not business to him. This is very personal.

Agent Lonnie Hawkins:
I tell you that everybody pays, and we get back 7 out of 10.

Tom Mullen:
If we give him what he wants, he will kill Sean!

Agent Lonnie Hawkins:
Tom, you've got to play the odds, man. I've been doing this for eighteen years, and if I were a betting man, I would bet on the people who pay every time, out of the gate.

Tom Mullen:
Did you bet on the ones where you got back a corpse?
