Human Trafficking (2005)

Robert Carlyle: Sergei

Quotes 

• Sergei : You say I killed someone? Then arrest me.

  [Meehan laughs, and says nothing] 

  Sergei : I didn't think so.

  Customs Agent Bill Meehan : It's just a matter of time. You're on our radar. It's a whole new ball game.

  Sergei : [smirks]  Isn't that what they used to say on those old TV cop shows?

  Customs Agent Bill Meehan : Well, I'm an old cop. So what did you expect?

• Sergei : The situation's really very simple. You wanted to come to America, and we got you here. But it all cost money. Your passports, visas, tickets, boarding... it all adds up. By now, each of you has accumulated a debt worth tens of thousands of dollars. Plus interest and other expenses. It means until you finish paying that money back to us, usually in a few years or so, we own you. Please understand. It's not my intention to cause you misery. We are in this together. But, be very certain, that if you try to run away, someone will pay the price. I have all your information. Where you live, how many brothers and sisters you have back home, everything. So if you get the urge to do something that might threaten our arrangement, and you will get that urge... and control it. Or inevitably, someone close to you will be hurt.
