Quotes 

• Sergei Bazhaev : You have buried your brother's body?

  Josef Bazhaev : [after nodding, hands him the necklace]  it's Oleg's: you gave it to him at his confirmation

  Sergei Bazhaev : [Hands it back to him]  you keep it, to remind you of him. I'm glad your back: we may have a problem

  Josef Bazhaev : What is it?

  Sergei Bazhaev : There is a man down the hall and claims to be an arms broker. He knows about the nuclear rods

  Josef Bazhaev : [Shakes his head]  how could he?

  Sergei Bazhaev : He says there was a "leak" from Farhad's people but I wonder until I know for certain who and what this man is, I've stopped the transfer of the rods: they've been redirected to our waste station off the Wantagh Parkway

  Josef Bazhaev : I'm sure Farhad can't be happy about that

  Sergei Bazhaev : I haven't told him yet, perhaps we should tell him together?

  Josef Bazhaev : How long do you plan to hold him off?

  Sergei Bazhaev : That depends

  Josef Bazhaev : On what?

  Sergei Bazhaev : On how long it takes Dmitri to "break" this guy

• Farhad Hassan : [after Sergei enters the room with his son Josef]  yes? What is it?

  Sergei Bazhaev : There is a man downstairs who's shown up to outbid you for the fuel rods

  Farhad Hassan : [Amused]  is this some feeble "attempt" to renegotiate terms?

  Sergei Bazhaev : Not at all: this man Meier claims someone in your organization tipped him off to our deal

  Farhad Hassan : That's not possible, his lying

  Sergei Bazhaev : In light of his "sudden appearance", I am holding delivery of the rods for the time being

  Farhad Hassan : What? You can't do that

  Sergei Bazhaev : It's already done. I cannot take the risk of that we may be exposed

  Farhad Hassan : The longer you delay, the more time my brother has to crush his enemies. If he manages to purge everyone in the military who opposes him, the uranium is worthless to me

  Sergei Bazhaev : That's your concern: mine is to make certain this Meier is not a policeman. One of my men is interrogating him now

  Farhad Hassan : [Irritated]  that could take hours, even days

  Sergei Bazhaev : Not days. I can promise you that

  Farhad Hassan : You "promised" to assassinate my brother too, your failure to eliminate him has put me under enormous pressure and now because your people inability to maintain secrecy, your break our timetable to suit your needs...

  Josef Bazhaev : [after putting a gun to Farhad's head]  don't speak to my father that way: we have honored every agreement we've made with you, and spilled a lot of blood for it. My father has allowed you to stay here and hide from the Feds at great personal risk to our family

  Farhad Hassan : [to Sergei]  tell... him to put the gun down

  Josef Bazhaev : [Ignores Farhad]  no, we're not taking any more of your demands. Throw him out of here: let his own people "shelter" him if he thinks we're such fools, I'll drive him there myself if that's what it takes

  Sergei Bazhaev : [Steps closer to Farhad]  it would seem you used up our hospitality here. Perhaps it's best you joined your men at the rendezvous point to wait for delivery?

  Farhad Hassan : And when will that be?

  Sergei Bazhaev : When I think it's safe: not a moment before
