Jacob: You should read your paperwork. Tell your superiors that I'm here. Your captain, your mayor, the minister of Nunavut, whomever. Remind them that I outrank them. Then inform them that if I don't find the genetic deviant I'm after...I have orders to kill every man, woman, and child in this county.
Security: There are ten thousand people in North Harbor!
Jacob: Bigger than Yangju. Not as big as Oslo.
Security: You -- you survived Oslo?
