no disrespect, sir,but outside martial law, the militaryhas no jurisdictionon home soil. well, there'sthe defenseauthorization act. the president hasthe authority to usethe armed forces to suppress anyinsurrection, unlawfulcombination or conspiracy. this all went throughcongress in '07. agent helen!good to see you again. general, nice to see you. charlie.you all know each other?
yeah, we met earlier.a little mix-up. what are you doing here?who are you guys? independent contractors? what agency? oh, no agencywould claim us.right, general? okay, everyone.if you couldfollow me, please. right in here,please. where are the restof my people? we're working withthe staff we have herefrom this room.
secure lines are beingset up with all field officesas well as other agencies. what is this place? nowhere.it doesn't exist.neither do we. hey, guys,i need youto see this. this is location one. we took a screen captureof all the locations,cleaned them up, took him outand then tookthat thing out. some of you will recognize this. it is a bomb.
you've seen this? i've placed three bombs in three american cities. all three are identical, all three are in urban areas, and all three are nuclear bombs. jesus. i have demands which will be met by you, or these bombs will explode. i will give you these demands
at a later date. this is location two. this is location three. all three bombs are set to explode on friday the 21st, at noon pacific time. vincent: jesus.that's only fourdays from now. the fissionable material is shielded effectively in lead and water... (presses mute button)
you can checkthe tech detailslater if you want. people, if there'sa one percent chancethe threat is serious, this is a 100%. how could an individualmanufacture nuclear weapons? he's one of us. a specialist.career military, delta force. expert in explosives,bomb disposal, specialized in fieldnuclear weapons. served in iraqto check out nukes.he knows what he's doing. saunders:he's 100% american.
when he was a teenager,his father movedthe family to islamabad to work at theembassy there. he's fluent infarsi and arabic. do we know if there'sa way he could get his handson fissionable material? three years ago, he wason a team checking nuclearfacilities in russia. the russians can'taccount for 15 to 18 pounds. they can't be accurate.around five poundson each bomb. that's six to ten millioncasualties, folks. but do we haveany direct evidencethat this is real?
tehran paid him 20 millionto get nuclear materials outof russia and into iran. then they lost trackof him and the money. how do you know that? they told us themselves. they didn't want us usingyounger as an excuse to bombthe crap out of them. what does he want?why is he doing this? we don't know. so far,he's made no demands,no further contact. so we have 72 hoursto figure outwhere he's hiding. the focus ofyour investigation
isn't going to beabout younger's whereabouts. it's about the locationof those three bombs. thatis your immediate priority. but surely,if we find him,we'll find the bombs. not necessarily,agent helen. you already have him,don't you, general? he was arrested 24 hours ago?why didn't youcome out and tell us? you didn't have clearance.it's classified throughmilitary intelligence. "military intelligence."the great oxymoron. how was he caught?
a security officersaw him in a mallin phoenix. his picture is plasteredall over the countryand he goes to a mall? people,this is colonel kerkmejian. he'll escort youto view the prisoner. you're allowed toobserve and that's it. general, when can weinterrogate this man? at the moment,the military is in chargeof any interrogation. if that changes,we'll let you know. colonel, if you would.
this way, please. please. we have expertsfrom multiple agencies, the military,nuke specialists,psychologists, analyzing every wordand movement he makes. brody: who authorized this? everything hereis withinoperational parameters. we never strike him. hot, cold, sleep deprivation,intense noise, bright lights,threats of violence.
he must be terrified. where are the dogs?there should be dogs. it's the amateurhour here, charlie.this is never gonna work. yeah, well,you're gonna haveto make it work. you want to get in thereand talk to him? yes. but i don't needyour help to do that. believe me, you will. tell me he's not here. what's he doing?
oh, shit, here we go. what the hell? no. no way,you fucking animal.you keep away from him. hello. back the fuck... get in there now! (lubitchich groaning) i never laid a handon the prisoner. don't hurt him!you'll need him later.
(grunting) i'm going in now, colonel. what? no, you don'thave authorization. do you intendto obstruct the fbi? where the hell is paulson?and get him out of here! (laughing) shit. mr. younger,i'm special agent brody, fbi. (turns off air conditioner)
your situationhere is illegal. and i'm going to get youout of here, so you and ican sit down and talk. i think you'll find thatthis is entirely legal.and necessary. necessary? in the war on terror. the fbi woman,she's in the cell alone. thank you. could youplease dry my arms?they're really cold. you looked at my watch.would you liketo know the time? 10:15 in the morning.
mr. younger, i'd like to ask youa few questions. about your wife jehanand your two children. what do youwant to know? you must havebeen very upsetwhen she left you. i'm not upset.i accept my fate. you should accept yours. why are you doingthis, mr. younger? yusuf.my name is yusuf.
all right, yusuf. they're gonna askme about this and i would really like to beable to tell them something. i'm sorry, nice lady.it's too soon. get her out of here. ma'am. ma'am. and you, soldier,get some goddamn results! that's whati'm asking you. call me back.
you saw what's going onin there? it's arguablyillegal and ineffective. any information he givesis probably unreliable. if we work with thesepeople, our integrity... at the moment,they have official sanction. jack, i can'tbelieve that. what about the generalcounsel memo oncoercive interrogations? there's no way... look,the director's officehas ordered us to assist the militarywherever possible.
for now, we observeand run our investigationsimultaneously. just keep meinformed, okay? we have the guybut we can't say so.why the hell not? because officially,he doesn't exist. his face is allover the country! and we keep it there. faces lead to places.our absolute priority isfinding these locations. someone must knowwhere they are, and it's likely tobe friends or family.
why can't weinterrogate this guy? we are currentlynegotiating that. negotiating? guys. d.j., anything newon the ex-wife? yeah, i just talkedto the guys at lax. two days ago, the wifeand kids tried to boarda plane to saudi arabia, but were denied a visaat the last minute. they're likely stillin the country.
phillips, i need youto coordinate a checkwith rental agencies. he must have transportedthe bombs cross-countryin some kind of truck. he wouldn't haveused his real name. okay, i'll get local pdsout at port citiesand border towns. vince, get on to frankand his team. organize a trace on hisinternet, phone, credit cards,travel bookings. get national security lettersfor anyone who givesyou a hard time. you got it. helen. can i havea word with you?
we need youto negotiate.with h. he's asking for you. i hear you'rea specialist interrogator.ex-army? made me the mani am today. is that how you workwith colleagues?you beat them? he's a cheap sadist.younger knows allabout those techniques. he was trainedby the armyto withstand them. that stuff's notgonna work on him. what are the chancesthey'll use youafter that little show?
(chuckles) you thoughtthat was a show? you wantedthe other interrogatorsto look like the bad guys. they are the bad guys. so, you talkedto younger. learnanything else about him? a little. you? oh, no, that'shis file there. this is yours. uh-uh-uh. i see why theypicked you, though.
harvard law,graduated with honors. who gave that to you? counter-terrorism.good choice.let me see what else. ah! no boyfriends. and no children.chose a careerover a family. better watch that,they gonna thinkyou're a lesbian. so, you didn't get anythingout of him yet, huh?what a surprise. yeah, well, the general herehas a great deal for you. the price is right butyou can't beat upany more interrogators.
i'm in charge. you'll be brought in aswe deem necessary, take turnsinterrogating with the others. i work alone with an assistantand one other interrogatorof my choice who takes overwhen i need a break. you don't callthe shots here, i do. you want me to domy work, you willtreat me with respect. especially in frontof a lady. look, we're all undera lot of pressure here. why don'twe just back off...
you're a grown man.deal with it. future of this countryis in your hands. lose the committee,i lead with one other. who? (exclaims) her. (scoffing) no way.she's part of a sideinvestigation here, she doesn't knowthe first thing aboutmilitary interrogation. there's absolutely no...
give him what he wants. and get him inthere now, general. why do you want me? you've got integrity,i like that. and these peopleare dangerous.i may need protection. do you have a plan? i shake him up,you shake him down,okay? outstanding! cia human resourcestraining manual,circa 1983.
"the honduran edition,"right? people, we havea new specialist joining us. from now on,there will be no observers.everyone out, please. lubitchich, have you told himhow small his penis is?they really hate that. all military personnelwill leave at once. the rest of you,consult with your agencies. what the hellis happening? i am. you're out. is my equipment here yet?

colonel kerkmejian,you're in command. me, sir? aren't you? (chattering) i'm doing it now. let's get him down. so, how does this work? i never know that. and the reallygreat thing is he doesn't either.
agent brody? we're gonna need your eyes. could you lookfor any interesting tics, eye movements,fear, jitters, things like that, please? mr. younger!my name is h. i'm going to beconducting your interrogationfrom here on out. we've met. oh! that's right.sorry you hadto see that.
and i want you to know, my interest lies only with you. now, i have onequestion for you.it's a simple one. please tell me where you placed the three bombs. this is not whatwe talked about. that's becauseyou were only listeningto yourself. start with the furthestlocation, please. mr. younger? you understandwhat i'm aboutto do to you? oh, my god!
(screaming) what? what?it's only a finger. what, not reallya whole finger, it's... (groaning) tape him,then leave him. kerkmejian: get him out! h: all right! so that's your technique?you're a fucking joke. you expect meto be part of that?
all right, all right,no more fingers. you thinkyou're goingback in there? well, why don'twe ask the man? he's got direct access,highest levels, back door,no names, no records. well, tell me.do i have authorizationor not? higher authority believesthat we should all do what we think is bestfor our countryand its people. alvarez, bag him. colonel, would youlose the gorillas?
if i'm in chargehere, i... you're not. he is and we needto do somethingabout that. (stammering) i won'tauthorize him to continue... so let it happen withoutyour authorization.then you're covered, right? one of my guys stays. deal. we need to stop thisat once. that man needsto be pulled out right now! you want to leave,that's fine.
h: lay everything outon this table, please. (gasping) i haven't seen yousince afghanistan, right? when you're done,you can wait outside. (breathing heavily) mr. younger,are you ready for this? no one ever is. (panicked grunting) all your worst fears,
all your nightmares are right here. oh, my god! oh, my god! get general paulsonhere right now! colonel,the geneva conventionstates that... the military commissions act,no unlawful enemy combatants may invokethe geneva convention. that act declarestorture illegal. unlawful combatantshave no right tohabeas corpus.
they can't bringany claims to court,so how do they prove it? that's alien unlawfulenemy combatants. thisman is an american citizen. that was revoked yesterday.he's now stateless. you can't do that. sir, general paulsoncan't come back right now. he saysyou're in charge,and carry on. he says what? carry on, sir. this is illegal.i will not allowthis to happen!
younger: the plutonium pit consists of three canisters of plutonium e, one and a half pounds. another one and half pounds, and another one and a half pounds. we have to stop this. let me call you back. can you shutthe door, please? what he's doing in thereis a violation of every...
did you interviewthe suspect again? then why haveyou left the room? jack, the suspectis being tortured.this is unconstitutional. helen, if those bombsgo off, there will beno fucking constitution! main justice and thedirector's office are awareof what's going on here, but we are powerlessto stop it and the situationis too grave to pull out. when you're in thereyou act as a witness,and when this is over, we'll bring a civilrights prosecutionagainst these bastards. in the meantime,you are incident commander.
we need you to doeverything in your powerto find those bombs. do you understand? you've removedyour name tag. do you mind if i... you all right? you know, it hits everybodylike that at first.you get used to it. you didn't evenquestion him. oh, so this blood on my jacketwould be all right ifi'd gotten some information? (toilet flushing)
well, you're notgonna get any. you do this and he'llsay anything you want,and none of it will be true. physical torturedoesn't work. so, i guessthat's why they'vebeen using it since the beginningof human history, huh? for fun? that's what makes youso special, is it? our secretweapon against the enemy? it's not about the enemy.it's about us. our weakness.
we're on the losing side,helen. we're afraid, they're not. we doubt, they believe. we have values. and our valueshave cost ushow many lives? it's not about that guyout there. he's notthe problem. you are. whatever happenedto rapport building? takes time, possibly months. look, this is a process.he has to believei have no limits.

the winner gets to takethe moral high ground because they get to writethe history books. the loser just loses. the only miscalculationin your plan was me. you see, i will tearyour eyes out, but you'llnot tear my building down. every man, no matterhow strong he is, lies tohimself about something. i will find your lie and i will break you.
you'll be a hero. (phone ringing) yes? good. his wife is here. about time. on speaker: h, rina's here. h: alvarez. dim the lights,take an hour break.

it's why i married her. did rina tell youwhat happenedto her family? yeah, of course she did. (scoffs) she tells completestrangers sometimes.it's embarrassing. did she tell youthe end of the story? what happenedwhen they tookthe village back and captured the three men? she killed theirwives and kidsin front of them.
and just asour troops arrived,she killed those three men. they arrested her,handed her over to me. did i tell youour children were bornprematurely, helen? we were so worried. childbirth wasthe most beautiful thing. when the topsof their headsstart to crown, it's almost as ifgod actually exists. how about you, yusuf? where you therewhen your wifegave birth to ali?
how about samura? agent brody here wouldsay yes because she thinksyou're a good father. me? i don't thinkyou were anywherenear that hospital. (crying) yes! that's whati want to see. no, don't!h, don't! stop! stop him, please! i can stop him,but you have to talk to me.tell me something! okay! i'll talk,i'll talk! i'll talk! i'll...
i am now willing to make a statementof my terms. charlie:this is a waste of time. put him in frontof a camera, he gets a break,that's what he needs. now make us an offer,we'll consider it.more time. if he talks at all,that's progress. and we don't makedeals with terrorists. oh, please,we do it all the time. charlie: he'll sayhe's been tortured,we'll deny it.
he'll sayhe wants a broadcast,we'll refuse it. he'll make crazy demands,and we'll reject it.what's the goddamn point? military guard on speaker: sir, we're recording. mr. president, i am currently being heldon charges of terrorism. i am a muslimand a loyal american. i love my wife. i love my kids. i love my country.
since my capture, i have been treated well by the honorable men and women of our armed forces and police. he's stalling. i do not require you to broadcast this statement. that would set a dangerous precedent. i will reveal their locations when you make the following public announcements. first, no further financialor military supportwill be given
to puppet regimesand dictatorshipsin any islamic nations. second, that all u.s. forceswill be withdrawn fromall islamic countries. (groans) i am willing to accept a reasonable timeframe for these demands. mr. president, i knowyou want to bring ourmen and women home to the nation we love. thank you and allah bless america.
some kind of fucking joke. what if we persuade himthat we're willing to worktoward his objectives? we could getthe locationsof the bombs. and allow a loneterrorist to dictateu.s. foreign policy? he didn't ask for a broadcast.he didn't ask usto show it to the public. he just wantsto negotiate. oh, negotiate.are you out of your mind? if we releasethis to the public, he knows that we couldnever make a deal with him.
just take the deal! his requestsare reasonable,achievable, and i believe the americanpeople would goalong with them. which is why you can bedamn sure they won't everget to hear them. well, maybe they should.what are you afraid of? he didn't ask us to doanything. he just askedthe president to announce it. might save a fewmillion people. we've got 21 hours left.we're running out of time. it's what he wants.
and he's gatheringhis strength.bargaining for time. if you don'tcut this deal, i may have to crankthis up a notch or two. to what? what's a notchor two beyond whatyou're already doing? what are you gettingby torturing him? he's given us nothing.we've played rightinto his hands. someone's gonna haveto make a call here. the call is this, i'm not phoning upstairsto tell the presidenthe has to change
a century's worthof middle east policy because some assholemade a video. you haven't evenfigured out ifthe bombs are real! okay then. pending furtherdevelopments,we can assume that the currentopen protocols ofinterrogation continue until otherwise directedby higher authority. so, in other words,you want me to goon my way without telling meto go on my way?
yusuf, you could make a deal.you've got these guys cold. they can't take you to court,they can't prosecutea man with no fingernails. give us your accomplices,tell us where the bombs are, we put you ona flight to pakistan. with my kids? they'll negotiate. no one outside knowsthis ever happened. give us the bombsand you could be free. he doesn't wantto be free.
brody: everyonewants to be free. an assumptionthe u.s. has screwed upall over the world. what you call freedomis a false god. see? like minds. don't you get it, brody? he placed himself here. he knew whatwe'd do to him. yusuf, tell mewhere the bombs are. make the deal.
the bombs will explodeif my termsare not met. but they will be. no other choice.you have to tellthem that, brody. you reallydon't want to behere for this. brody:how long doeshe stand there? kerkmejian: 23 minutes. security told the cops,they came in and got him. speed it up, can you?
zoom in. he walks in, he standsdirectly in frontof a security camera, and he stays therefor 23 minutesuntil he gets caught? same day he sent in the tape.he wanted to get caught. he let himself getcaptured even though heknew we could torture him. he was prepared for it. "i'm all prepared,"that's what he said. goddamn it! he's making monkeysout of us, people.
he rented a truck.that's loose circumstantialevidence at best. we have no direct evidencethat he even possessesnuclear material. except a videowith three bombs on it. and he knows howto make those bombslook just right, doesn't he? he had the time, the means,the capability, the finance,the contacts. there's theiranian connection. some asshole waves a toy gunin the air and forcesthe cops to shoot him. suicide by police.how about tortureby government? you're saying he wantedto get captured sowe could torture him?
just to make a point. well, what ifit is a hoax? he could ask for anythingand we'd have no wayof finding out. brody, you betterget back in there. now. (drill whirring) (younger screaming) you can leave him. i've been orderedto take over. okay, alvarez.
(younger whimpering) he's all yours. we know, yusuf. we know aboutthe bombs. you're very skillful. you can fake a nukein a video, right? the bombs are real. all right. then give me one.
come on, prove it. just give me one. you don't want meto give you proof. nobody believes you,yusuf. they're only doing this crap because they want your accomplices. what's she doing? but i don't even think they exist. you'll see. don't ask me for proof.
we need itin order to believethe bombs are real. they'll give youwhat you want. you'll be such a hero. your wife will come back, your childrenwill love you. you let yourselfbe captured. you knew whatthey might do to you,and they did it. (mumbling) can't you seethat you'vealready won?
you've proved thatwe are exactly the kindof people we say we aren't. look what they did to you. you are thebravest man i know. but it's over now. there's no proof. there are no bombs,are there? no. no, there never were. there are no bombs. i just want my wife
and my kids. please, there are no bombs! why did you let himkeep on? you couldhave told me at any time. i fucked up so bad. my wife, my religion, my country. i'm so sorry. did you have nuclearmaterial at any time? nothing. the bombsare empty shells,there's nothing in them.
where did youmake the video? no, i don't wantthem to hear. just whisper it in my ear. (whispering) is that right? please don't let himhurt me anymore.please? please, please. it's a hoax. i knew it was a hoax. the man has been tortured.
i was leading with myquestioning. he would sayjust about anything right now. h: she's right,you know. we always knewit was only a onepercent chance anyone could ever pullsomething like this off. we've got an address. he said somethingwas going to happen today. we need to takethat seriously.

(horn blaring) female reporter: experts on the scene think that a bomb probably made from c4 plastic explosives has been deliberately detonated in a downtown shopping mall. they did not rule out terrorism. male reporter 1: so far, we've seen several bodies come out. they wouldn't give us a count. male reporter 2: i got no idea how many casualties we've got in there, but there are badly injured people.
