[Helen Smith is uneasy over Thomas being called up for a Hitler Youth trip to South America]
He's not going, John. I will not allow it. I stop breathing the moment Thomas walks out that front door, and I only start again when he is back home.
You want to let him go to South America? Helen...
He will be found out, and you know what that means.
Okay. Sit down. Helen, sit down, please. We are going to let him go. Thomas will fly to Buenos Aires, all right? And from there, he's going to travel to meet the others on his expedition, but he's not going to make the rendezvous because, somewhere in the foothills of the Andes, he's going to be kidnapped by Semites.
You did this.
Now, this is going to look like, to the rest of the world, a terrorist act on a high-profile target, but Thomas, he's going to be okay. He'll be safe.
In South America?
He could live for decades, Helen. This way, he's going to be comfortable. He's going to be safe. No one's going to be able to reach him.
How can you be sure?
Because I will personally spearhead the search for him and for his kidnappers. Now, you, of course, will be bereft, as will I, and publicly we'll never give up trying to bring our son home. But ultimately, Helen...we will fail. Now, if you have any questions, you have to ask me now... because, I'm afraid, once you've left this room, we must never talk about this again.
Will I ever see him again?
Maybe, one day. When and if it is safe. It's the only way, Helen.
