[angrily to Markinson as he enters his motel room, before slamming the log book onto the table]
there was no flight out at eleven o'clock, what the fuck are you trying to pull?
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson:
[as he sits down to look inside the log book]
first flight stateside left Guantanamo Bay at twenty three hundred, it arrived at Andrews Air Force base in Maryland a few minutes past two

Jessup
Kaffee:
what're telling me? He fixed the log book?
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson:
[scoffs]
Kaffee:
maybe he can make it that one didn't take off but I can sure as hell prove one landed. I'm going to get the log book from Andrews
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson:
you're not going to find anything in the Andrews log book either
Kaffee:
he can make an entire flight disappear?
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson:
Nathan Jessup was about to be appointed Director of Operations for the National Security Council. You don't get to that position without knowing how to "sidestep a few landmines"
Kaffee:
his not going to be able to "sidestep" you
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson:
you don't still intend to put me on the stand?
