Child 44 (2015)

Mark Lewis Jones: Tortoise

Quotes 

• Tortoise : What did you expect when you came here? That we didn't mind dying? That Raisa would be saved? But if you don't denounce her, we will die, all four of us. With the only difference, that you would die knowing in your heart that you did the right thing. And so you calculate. One dead. Or four. One dead. Or four.
