Keefe would have been dead so fast if it were me


"You call up the hotel and have Keefe change rooms or I'll kill your dad."
"DONE!"
I would have had some questions though like an assurance my dad would live if I did it and that he'd leave me alone in the future. You know, not come back in a few years and try it again since I cooperated the first time. But I'd have no problems moving Keefe to save my dad. None whatsoever.

Most people have a problem with being an accomplice to murder, probably more considering its mass murder/terrorism.

True, and she could be held accountable for being a conspirator. Also there's no confirmation whatsoever, but Jackson might see her as a loose end. I think he probably would have let her go, considering he seems to want to maintain a sense of self-morality in front of others in his normal life, then again you never know.

When he showed up at the house, he said he was there to "Finish the job". I don't think he ever intended to let her go. He couldn't kill her on the plane because then he would be trapped.

One thing that made no sense to me was why was his hit guy heading up to the house. The father was completely ignorant of everything going on and Jack said he wouldn't make a move until he tells him to.

Well, I think all thechit chat and self-noble personality he displayed while waiting for her to make the call would have to be a huge act if he never intended to live.

The hitman might have been keeping tabs when the plane landed and might have known enough about the assassination plot to also keep tabs on that. It might have taken Lisa a bit to get out of the airport and drive home, so he may have been getting impatient and concerned that something might have went wrong.

That's nice that you love your daddy so much, but a truly good person would at least try to look for a way where nobody gets hurt. Instantly being OK with a person (entire family in this case) being slaughtered in cold blood to save your dad isn't the flex you thought it was.
