The Veil
Tuesdays on FX (Hulu Exclusive)Adilah El Idrissi Quotes
Imogen: Is Emir Yasmina's father?
Adilah: No. I don't know who Yasmina's father is. After the bomb in the hotel, I ran away. They found me, and when they bring you back, they do things to you. It could have been any of them.
Imogen: I need to ask you a question. Did you ever see any signs of Russian involvement in this plot?
Adilah: Yes. The man you saw in Paris, Emir. He would often speak to someone on a cell in Russian.
Imogen: Anything else?
Adilah: The truck that got me out of Raqqa was a Russian military truck. Why?

If I don't stay with her, they will find me, and they will capture me. And we will not be able to go through with the plan
I was twenty-one. They dressed me in beautiful clothes. Talked about heaven. You see, my time had come. Twas my day of days. They'd strapped explosives to my body. A waiter just smiled at me as I walked into the lounge like death. I was death.
Adilah: I really hate these types of hotels where all the rich Americans go. Makes me sick. But you seem quite comfortable in this world.
Imogen: It's my job to be comfortable in different kinds of places.
Adilah: There is no greater suffering for a parent than when your child is suffering. A mother's blood is her child's blood.
Imogen: Yes, it is.
Imogen: How can anyone disapprove of belly dancing?
Adilah: How can you care so much about my opinion on belly dancing?
I have a trash can in my memory. Most of my family are in there.
