Lie to save your life?


When Russian mobster Terek Murad asked one of his thugs "How many FBI agents did you kill?" and the thug replied "none" and then got killed. If the thug lied and said "I killed 5 FBI agents, would Terek Murad killed him? He could make up a story in-case the other thugs couldn't/wouldn't corroborate his story.

Hahaha..I like how you think! Of course if the thug was a woman there would have been an arsenal of lies at ther ready!

i think terry already knew the answer 2 his rhetorical question, as did his vic and assorted goons. it was a brutal killing 'pour l'encouragement des l'autres'.
a wee lie will not be good enough against someone like terryM. It might in fact lead 2 a slower and messier out.

LOL! I was saying the exact same thing to myself when I was watching it the other night!
