Jack Ryan : I can't go to Yemen.
James Greer : Why not?
Jack Ryan : I'm an analyst. I don't interrogate people; I write reports.
James Greer : Well, that's gonna make a doozy. Get on the fucking plane.
-
Jack Ryan : I found something you got to see.
James Greer : What am I looking at?
Jack Ryan : These are financial transactions through an app called TracEuro. You use your cell phone.
James Greer : Yeah, they were using that in Karachi before I left.
Jack Ryan : Every one of these transactions is linked to this account opened a week and a half ago in a bank in Aden by a Saudi import/export company, but the business license of that company is less than a month old. This is a shell.
James Greer : [not seeing the connection] Okay.
Jack Ryan : So, six SWIFT transactions have come through in the last eight days. They total over $9 million. Of all the other accounts that I've been monitoring, only two have ever gone above six figures, and barely.
James Greer : Large transactions attract attention. Why go big now and risk popping up on our radar?
Jack Ryan : Maybe he doesn't even care about drawing attention, because whatever he's planning, he's ready now. This is it. We got him.
James Greer : He? You mean Suleiman.
Jack Ryan : Sir, he's real. I promise you he is real. Don't you think there are people on the seventh floor that would have loved this opportunity twenty years ago the first time they heard the name Bin Laden? All I'm asking is order a démarche, freeze the account.
James Greer : You're not there yet.
Jack Ryan : I'm not there yet? S... Sir, 9/11 cost half a million dollars. If he is real, what do you think he can do with twenty times that amount of money? We have to chase this down. Once the money's gone, he's gone. I promise you that.

James Greer : I told you to stand the fuck down, and you went behind my back and froze that account.
Jack Ryan : That was Treasury's call.
James Greer : Oh, bullshit! The ink on that démarche may be theirs, but this was your idea.
Jack Ryan : Listen, if you're worried about this blowing back on you, don't. Okay? I'll take full responsibility.
James Greer : Oh, is that what you think? That I'm trying to protect my career? Look around. That ship has sailed.
-
James Greer : You've been doing this for how long?
Jack Ryan : Almost four years.
James Greer : [sarcastic] Oh, almost four years. Holy shit. That's, like... wow. I am impressed.
[seriously]
James Greer : Now, let's say that you're actually right and Suleiman or Casper the Friendly Ghost or whoever the fuck actually exists. What do you think he does when he finds out a state entity has frozen his bank account? He cuts bait and you get nothing!
Jack Ryan : How many people you know walk away from $9 million? That money means everything to him.
James Greer : I agree. Which is why we could've sat on that bank, tracked every courier who came and went, and wrapped up the whole god damn network.
Jack Ryan : Yeah. Or we could've just watched the front door of the bank while they walked out, pulled off the next 9/11, and we didn't do a thing.
James Greer : Get the fuck out of my office.
-
James Greer : That account you froze; S.A.D., Yemeni PSO picked up somebody.
Jack Ryan : Suleiman?
James Greer : No. A couple of couriers, they think.
Jack Ryan : Wait, you said S.A.D., but I didn't order any surveillance.
James Greer : I did.
Jack Ryan : I thought you said I wasn't there yet.
James Greer : You weren't. But that doesn't mean you were wrong.
Jack Ryan : Well, how come you couldn't have said that instead of throwing me out of your office?
James Greer : Because I don't know you. And I don't answer to you. Now, S.A.D. and the Yemenis are gonna run the interrogation. But you're the one that knows all this financial shit, so I need you there to make sure they know what questions to ask.

Matice : Man, I thought you were in Pakistan.
James Greer : No. Back at Langley.
Matice : Headquarters?
James Greer : Yeah.
Matice : Sorry to hear that, man.
