Lee Garlington: Mary Pat Foley

The Sum of All Fears

Mary Pat Foley

Mary Pat Foley: [after President Zorkin dies] He died at 0420 Zulu. Eight and a half hours later, they swore in a new president. Everybody wants to know who this new guy is.
Jack Ryan: Who is he?
Rudy: Alexander Nemerov.
Jack Ryan: You're kidding me. I wrote a paper about him a year ago.
Mary Pat Foley: I know.
Jack Ryan: No, Mary Pat, I said he could be next. I said he-he could be the next guy. I predicted this.
Mary Pat Foley: I know, I know.
Jack Ryan: And nobody read it.
Rudy: Yeah, well, they're reading it now, buddy.
Jack Ryan: Who?
Mary Pat Foley: Cabot.
Jack Ryan: I've been here 14 months. I don't think he knows what I look...
[stopping short as they bump into Cabot]

Rudy: These are four hours old. Russian 12th, 15th, and 2nd tank regiments.
Mary Pat Foley: They haven't moved. Why haven't they moved?
Jack Ryan: Nemerov is too smart to move those tanks.
Mary Pat Foley: He speaks.
Dillon: Jack, look, Nemerov's got, like, what, 19,000 tanks? No way NATO can match that.
Jack Ryan: I know, that's why he's not gonna move 'em. It's like a chess game. He's just thinking three moves ahead. He knows he has so many more tanks than we do. And the NATO playbook says the only we could stop 'em is using tactical nuclear weapons.
Rudy: And there's no way he wants to risk a nuclear war over this.
Jack Ryan: I also think he's sending us a message. He didn't bomb Grozny.

Rudy: Jack, we're in Olson's files. He shows wire payments of $45 million from someone named Dressler.
Mary Pat Foley: Dillon, go run Dressler. Find out who he is. Jack, I really want you out of there.
Jack Ryan: I am at the docks. I think there's somebody inside.
Rudy: See if the name Dressler's anywhere.
Mary Pat Foley: No! Jack, get out of there. Dillon, call the Baltimore PD, give them the address. Hurry. Jack, wait for the cops.
Jack Ryan: [hanging up] I'll call you back.

Jack Ryan: Hey, it's Ryan!
Mary Pat Foley: Jack, where are you?
Jack Ryan: I don't know. Somewhere outside Baltimore.
Mary Pat Foley: Listen, Cabot got the president out.
Jack Ryan: Where's the president now?
Mary Pat Foley: Uh, they're taking him airborne. He's on NAOC.
Jack Ryan: Why?
Mary Pat Foley: Uh, they think it might be the Russians.
Jack Ryan: It wasn't the Russians! I gotta talk to Cabot. Can you patch me through to the plane?
Mary Pat Foley: Cabot's not on the plane. We don't know where he is. We just know he's not there. Can you call back in about an hour?
Jack Ryan: We don't have an hour! Fowler's gonna want to show how tough he is! He's gonna hit back now! Listen to me. We have to prove that it wasn't the Russians before he's convinced it is.
Mary Pat Foley: Well, can you get back to Langley?
Jack Ryan: No, we... there's no time! There must be a command post on site. The-the radiation assessment team. Where are they?
Mary Pat Foley: Uh, Stambler Tunnels, south of the city. Jack, listen, the prevailing winds are blowing the fallout to the east and the north. As long as you stay south, you're okay.

Mary Pat Foley: Dressler's an Austrian manufacturer, billionaire. His father was executed at Nuremburg. Five years ago he bought himself a seat in Parliament, then he got booted out for saying nice things about the Nazis.
Jack Ryan: Rudy, you gotta get me through to the president.
Rudy: I can't do it, Jack.
Jack Ryan: Come on! Get me through!
Rudy: They're into Snapcount, Jack. There's no way in.
Jack Ryan: Bullshit!
