[last lines]Captain James Biggs: I came as soon as you called.Tom Ludlow: I guess you were first on scene.Captain James Biggs: No, you were. Looks like Jacks friends got greedy, came after the money.Tom Ludlow: Is that what it looks like?Captain James Biggs: Mmhmmm.Tom Ludlow: This your plan, captain? Just sit back and let us all kill each other?Captain James Biggs: You were the plan. No one else could touch him. Once your eyes were opened, there was no other outcome. Decisions were made, Tom, by powerful men with powerful secrets. They were afraid of Jack. They asked me to help. One day, you will pass the chief in the hall and he will give you a nod. And you will know why. Because you were right, Tom. We do need you.
