Matt Damon describes the urgency of the situation, noting that once the money is discovered, the officers are forced to remain on-site and confront the reality of what they’ve found…
In Miami, you have to count the money on-site, so that everybody knows how much is there. They know that it’s almost certainly cartel money that belongs to very dangerous people who are probably going to come get it. They’re on the clock, and they have to start thinking of defending where they are because they can’t just leave. Matt Damon
Ben Affleck echoes that tension, framing the discovery as a test of trust and restraint…
It begs the question: What do you do when faced with this massive temptation? What does that mean? What’s it like to see that up close? And then also, who do you trust? Ben Affleck
