Two Steps Back (2018)

Peter Jason: SGM Robert King

Quotes 

• [Abby confronts King in a cafe] 

  SGM Robert King : I got a flight to catch. Looks like our rematch will have to wait.

  Abby Sciuto : Oh, we're not finished here.

  SGM Robert King : It's a stalemate. You haven't got a move to make.

  Abby Sciuto : I made my move before I sat down. Slipped some cyanide into your coffee before the waitress gave it to you. Enough to kill you... I mean, not immediately, but within the hour.

  SGM Robert King : [smirks]  A for effort, sunshine. Now, you're not capable of killing anyone.

  Abby Sciuto : Kate... Jenny... Dorneget... Ziva... Reeves. I am tired of my hero friends dying while villains like you get to live. Everyone has their breaking point and this was mine.

  [King's breathing becomes shallow, and he starts coughing] 

  Abby Sciuto : Airway constriction. It's one of the first symptoms. Shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pains... you'll be in full cardiac arrest in, like, ten minutes. I mean, unless you happen to have some hydroxocobalamin on you...

  [produces a small red pill in a plastic bag] 

  Abby Sciuto : Like this. Confess, and you get to live.

  SGM Robert King : You're insane.

  Abby Sciuto : [smiles coldly]  Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty to get the job done.

  SGM Robert King : [coughing]  Fine! I hired Marshall to take you out, but just you! Your friend wasn't part of the plan! Satisfied?

  Abby Sciuto : [gets up from the table]  You may not deserve to live... but I would *never* stoop to your level.

  [She tosses him the bag, and he grabs for the pill]
