Body of Lies Page #10

I see you're not going to read

what is prepared for you on paper.

It's all right.

All I need from you, I already have.

You know what that camera is for?

It's not for this. This...

This is intermission.

It's for what comes after this.

For what comes now.

[IN ARABIC]

Kareem.

But you paid who for me?

An intermediary who works for who?

You don't know who

and that should concern you.

- Do I look concerned?

- Well, that's what surprises me.

I thought you were

a lot smarter than that.

Someone has betrayed you.

He works for the head

of Jordanian Intelligence...

...which means he works for us...

...which means...

Which means you work for us.

[LAUGHING]

I work for you.

[SPEAKS IN ARABIC]

[ALL LAUGHING]

Are you comfortable?

Can I make you...

...more comfortable?

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTING]

I'm not lying to you, Kareem.

I'm not lying to you.

We know... We know where you are!

Where am I?

You... You... You are in the light.

The light is on you. Look at it.

FERRIS:

No, no, no.

The light...

The light is on you, motherf***er.

What do you think is happening here,

Mr. Ferris?

Do you think the cavalry

is coming for you?

Let's wait.

Nobody's coming for you.

Welcome to Guantanamo.

[SCREAMS]

God! F***!

MARWAN:

HANI:
You can tell who cares

about you the most...

...by who comes first

to visit you in the hospital.

And I believe I am the first.

That is not difficult,

because nobody knows where you are.

Yeah.

And where am I, Hani?

You're home, in Amman.

So it was your man I spoke to

on the phone...

...your men who took Aisha...

...your men who dropped me off

in the desert.

I was of some assistance, I admit.

But it was not me

that picked you up in the desert.

Edward could not find you.

Not with all his aircraft, all his people,

all his money...

...and joie de vivre.

So how, I wonder, did I do it?

- Karami.

- Very good. You remember him?

Yes, I remember him, Hani.

He was in the f***ing room with me.

He was in the room

because I put him there.

I'm just sorry

I wasn't there a few minutes sooner.

Right. What would've happened

if you were a few minutes later, Hani?

- Then I shudder to think.

- No, I shudder to think.

How badly did you hurt Aisha

when you took her, huh?

- That's what I wanna know.

- Aisha, not at all.

The room we messed up

after we took her.

Bullshit, Hani, bullshit!

All right. We tested that blood! All right?

It was hers!

She is a nurse.

She gives blood every month.

Now, please, let go of the jacket.

Thank you.

You're trying to tell me

you didn't tell her, Hani?

I told her what I could,

which I admit was not very much...

...because these are matters

of state security.

So she doesn't know anything

about what happened?

She knows what everybody

who knows me knows.

That I am an exceedingly polite gentleman

and a very good conversationalist.

Huh.

If I may be so f***ing impolite, Hani...

...I almost died in that goddamn room.

And if you had died,

I would have told her what you did for her.

And she...

She would have loved you forever.

Whereas now you are going

to have to earn that right.

That's great news.

Fantastic work, Hani.

Really. Excellent.

So you now have Al-Saleem, right?

That was the plan, my dear.

And I presume he's not giving you

any information.

Not yet.

HOFFMAN:

Your work's done here, buddy.

You're gonna come back.

I got you a corner office...

...just down the hall from mine.

As soon as I get the guy who's in it

out of it, it's all yours.

More money, a fancy title.

No sunscreen, no couscous,

unless you really want it.

- Right down the hall from you, huh, Ed?

- Right down the hall from me.

Well, I think we both know you'd be

more comfortable without me there.

Now, don't think about it too long,

because I'll take that as a slight.

Hm.

Besides, what else are you gonna do?

Stay here?

Maybe for a little while, huh?

I mean, why wouldn't I?

Why would you?

What if I like the Middle East?

[CHUCKLING]

Ain't nobody likes the Middle East, buddy.

There's nothing here to like.

Hmm.

Well, maybe that's the problem right there,

isn't it, Ed?

Hm.

Oh, buddy, buddy, buddy.

You know, you're the best I got.

And you know it hurts me to say that.

Good luck on winning this war, Ed.

I hope everyone thinks

you did it all by yourself, huh?

You're not safe here.

I'm not safe anywhere.

HOFFMAN:
You walk out on me,

you know what that means.

What does that mean?

That means you're giving up

on America.

Just be careful calling yourself

America, huh, Ed?

Listen, you have a safe flight home.

Say hey to the wife and kids.

HOFFMAN:

Nobody's innocent in this sh*t, Ferris.

HOFFMAN:

What's he doing?

MAN:

Nothing. Buying vegetables.

What about us, sir?

What do you want us to do?

Are we staying with him?

No. Buddy's done.

He's all by himself.

Copy that. Cleared off target.
