Getting people the information or weaponry they need? Get rid of those in their way, or who they have some problem with, or whose death will cause a war they want to begin? I have no endgame, nothing I'm working toward, but the next job, the next rush. I do it because it's all I know, because it's what I was trained for, but...you are what's important. You and the baby. I can find some other way to use those skills, can't I?"
