Law, actually.

814

00:
58:51,152 -- 00:58:52,694

Aw, that's f***ing hllarious.

815

00:
58:52,904 -- 00:58:55,614

You kill our boys. We kill yours.

816

00:
58:55,782 -- 00:58:57,449

Kids are butchering kids.

817

00:
58:57,617 -- 00:58:58,492

For what?

818

00:
58:59,202 -- 00:59:00,661

Explain it to me, huh?

819

00:
59:00,954 -- 00:59:02,496

It is a Holy War.

820

00:
59:02,872 -- 00:59:06,291

Talk to Allah. Not me, crusader.

821

00:
59:06,459 -- 00:59:08,377

God wants you dead.

822

00:
59:08,753 -- 00:59:10,629

We were safer under Sadaam.

823

00:
59:11,047 -- 00:59:12,381

That I know.

824

00:
59:12,549 -- 00:59:14,216

And so do my people.

825

00:
59:14,759 -- 00:59:17,386

You only brought more terror

to our country.

826

00:
59:17,679 -- 00:59:18,971

Not Iess.

827

00:
59:19,180 -- 00:59:21,557

After 9-11 , we gotta take the fight

to the enemy.

828

00:
59:21,724 -- 00:59:24,935

And Sadam was our enemy,

but why do YOU have to be our enemy,

829

00:
59:25,436 -- 00:59:28,021

Because of my brother's wedding party!

830

00:
59:28,231 -- 00:59:33,485

Bombed by you, by mistake,

or such was the cIaim.

831

00:
59:34,237 -- 00:59:36,363

My brother was no insurgent,

832

00:
59:36,531 -- 00:59:41,243

no, he belleved in you

and you killed him.

833

00:
59:41,786 -- 00:59:47,416

You killed my parents, my cousins,

but you missed me.

834

00:
59:47,584 -- 00:59:49,459

And that was your mistake,

835

00:
59:50,003 -- 00:59:53,547

for I Will fight

you now until my last breath.

836

01:
00:28,374 -- 01:00:30,542

This place Iooks like a

f***ing dog kenneI.

837

01:
00:32,170 -- 01:00:36,173

These guys are all severely dehydrated..

Jesus.

838

01:
00:37,342 -- 01:00:39,134

Come on, Jackson, let's move, man.

839

01:
00:39,302 -- 01:00:41,386

There's no insignia

on these uniforms, sir.

840

01:
00:42,055 -- 01:00:45,015

CIA and its contractors run Camp Zebra.

841

01:
00:45,975 -- 01:00:48,518

It's for ghost detainees-

high-vaIue interrogations

842

01:
00:48,686 -- 01:00:51,021

of guys the Pentagon

wants kept off the books,

843

01:
00:51,189 -- 01:00:54,941

but that is strictly off the record,

Alright?

844

01:
00:55,151 -- 01:00:56,568

Yes.

-Come on, let's go.

845

01:
01:16,464 -- 01:01:18,298

Allow me to introduce myself.

846

01:
01:19,967 -- 01:01:22,844

I'm Comandante Fredrico Cruz de Ia Roha.

847

01:
01:23,596 -- 01:01:25,013

I am a warrrior.

848

01:
01:25,431 -- 01:01:28,725

But my battIefield is here, with you.

849

01:
01:29,310 -- 01:01:33,355

My skills are extraction of information.

850

01:
01:33,981 -- 01:01:37,317

So, I Will share my knowIedge with you,

851

01:
01:37,527 -- 01:01:39,903

and you Will share

your knowIedge with me...

852

01:
01:41,072 -- 01:01:44,491

...sooner or later, that I promise you.

853

01:
01:45,243 -- 01:01:49,079

With the soldiers we are losing

to these despicabIe IED's,

854

01:
01:49,288 -- 01:01:52,874

We have orders to push

the envelope of interogation.

855

01:
01:53,292 -- 01:01:54,835

And the Geneva Convention?

856

01:
01:55,002 -- 01:01:57,045

Does not apply here at Camp Zebra.

857

01:
01:57,255 -- 01:01:59,131

These are not prisoners of war.

858

01:
01:59,340 -- 01:02:00,841

These are terrorists.

859

01:
02:22,238 -- 01:02:25,198

Information!

860

01:
02:26,784 -- 01:02:33,206

Information.

861

01:
02:33,833 -- 01:02:35,083

Talk to me.

862

01:
02:40,840 -- 01:02:44,176

Sgt. Wlikes, can you make sure

that water gets on our trucks, please?

863

01:
02:48,222 -- 01:02:51,016

Sir, this place, don't it bother you?

864

01:
02:51,184 -- 01:02:53,018

It's not my call, Jackson, Alright?

865

01:
02:53,227 -- 01:02:54,853

They're in charge of interrogation.

866

01:
02:55,021 -- 01:02:55,771

We're transport.

867

01:
02:55,938 -- 01:02:57,647

He's got his orders

just like I've got mine.

868

01:
02:57,815 -- 01:02:58,565

That's bullshit.

869

01:
02:58,775 -- 01:03:02,527

I've buried some fine men, Alright.

870

01:
03:03,404 -- 01:03:04,738

And you're gonna too.

871

01:
03:05,656 -- 01:03:09,242

If we can bury fewer of them,

that is a good thing, Jackson.

872

01:
03:11,537 -- 01:03:12,788

That's a good thing.

873

01:
03:36,646 -- 01:03:40,273

Sarge, I got a big problem here.

874

01:
03:41,400 -- 01:03:44,361

Lt. Banning brought these prisoners here

for interrogation

875

01:
03:45,029 -- 01:03:51,284

Sh*t, this place...it's into beatings

and torture and sh*t like that.

876

01:
03:51,702 -- 01:03:55,121

Sorry son, I'm Iosin' it.

877

01:
03:56,040 -- 01:03:57,874

You have my command now.

878

01:
03:58,876 -- 01:04:00,710

He's fine. It's just the morphine.

879

01:
04:03,631 -- 01:04:06,967

So what, if it saves one American llfe,

who cares, right?

880

01:
04:07,134 -- 01:04:08,093

Yeah, Iook at what they did to Sgt.

881

01:
04:08,302 -- 01:04:09,010

STalker, man.

882

01:
04:09,178 -- 01:04:10,428

And the sarge.

883

01:
04:10,638 -- 01:04:13,056

Never mind what's been happening to us

all f***ing day.

884

01:
04:13,224 -- 01:04:15,058

F*** them, man. They deserve it.

885

01:
04:15,226 -- 01:04:17,185

This ain't about them...

886

01:
04:18,563 -- 01:04:20,021

It's about us.

887

01:
04:21,691 -- 01:04:25,694

That we stand for something...

or we don't.

888

01:
04:26,779 -- 01:04:29,906

We got a code

of uniform mllitary justice

889

01:
04:30,074 -- 01:04:34,870

that says this type of sh*t don't fIy,

890

01:
04:36,080 -- 01:04:40,792

we have a duty not to walk away.

891

01:
04:50,928 -- 01:04:51,928

F*** it.

892

01:
04:56,183 -- 01:04:57,475

I'll go it alone.

893

01:
04:59,270 -- 01:05:00,645

You're not going alone.

894

01:
05:02,231 -- 01:05:03,690

I'm not going to llve with this.

895

01:
05:03,900 -- 01:05:05,233

No f***ing way.

896

01:
05:08,905 -- 01:05:11,197

You know what, Jackson,

I do stand for something.

897

01:
05:12,283 -- 01:05:13,491

This isn't it.

898

01:
05:14,994 -- 01:05:15,952

Let's go.

899

01:
05:21,667 -- 01:05:22,584

Carv?

900

01:
05:23,002 -- 01:05:23,960

Where the f*** you going?

901

01:
05:24,754 -- 01:05:28,506

They always got my back,

right? always.

902

01:
05:29,717 -- 01:05:31,843

But who the f*** has your back

all the time?

903

01:
05:32,887 -- 01:05:33,970

I do.

904

01:
05:34,430 -- 01:05:37,641

Serious man, so f*** it.

905

01:
05:45,149 -- 01:05:46,274

Watch the sarge.

906

01:
05:46,776 -- 01:05:48,777

You're putting yourseIf

into a world of hurt, doc.

907

01:
05:49,195 -- 01:05:50,111

Maybe.

908

01:
05:51,864 -- 01:05:53,406

But I know right from wrong, Billy.

909

01:
05:53,866 -- 01:05:55,033

This is wrong.

910

01:
05:55,785 -- 01:06:00,080

And if it's crossing the llne...

then f*** the line!

911

01:
06:08,339 -- 01:06:09,631

We're being smart, dude.

912

01:
06:13,928 -- 01:06:14,844

What are you doing, Jackson?

913

01:
06:15,012 -- 01:06:16,846

Sir, you do not

have to be a part of this.
