he told me that he has seen it in the library.

You know... you know,

he... he... he... he was...

keep telling me each week that,

"I will bring it next week.

I will bring it next week,"

but he never bring it for me.

He's probably f***ing with you.

It's not there.

I'm sorry for... asking you

too much about these books.

You know, it... it's been a very

long time that I have been waiting.

And sometimes, I think that

it's making me crazy...

A little, you know?

Not knowing how all these

things are going to end.

It's been a long time that I'm waiting.

For the book?

Yeah.

Yeah, for the book.

You understand what I am saying?

I can... I can imagine

what it would be like.

Can you?

Mm. I...Try to.

Then...I will also try.

Hey, 3-6-1...

Chicken piccata is really good today...

better than normal.

You want some?

Come on. No takers?

Come on, please?

Well, that makes this day five.

You all know what's coming next.

You want to call it off?

I'll take that as a "no."

Mmm. Butter pecan.

Bon appatit.

How long are we gonna keep doing this?

As long as they can.

Attention on deck.

That's the ringleader?

Yes, sir.

What's he want this time?

Uh, I'm not sure, sir.

Sir.

Yes?

I think I heard him say something

about an elliptical machine, sir.

You think they're gonna give him one?

Why not?

It would be easier than this.

Yeah, but it'd take

forever to get down here.

Are you kidding me?

They'll just take ours.

Who's winning?

You guys... that's who.

I don't know about that.

You got your elliptical machine.

Yeah.

You gonna use it?

No.

No one will use it.

Why'd you demand it?

I didn't demand this... mahmoud did.

Why'd he demand it?

I don't know.

Go ask Mahmoud.

Maybe because he's an a**hole?

So what's the count today?

Oh. I've only gotten to 12 kicks today.

Do you know what I hear today?

Well, someone says sabir in "A" block...

they said he hit

40 last week.

- 40?

- Yeah. That's what they say.

I don't know. I'm not so sure 'cause,

well, no one has seen this, you know...

only the guards, and those guards...

they wouldn't say.

You think you can beat 40?

I don't know.

I still think that

he's made this up, you know.

I tell you what...

you beat 40, I'll vouch for you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay.

2...3...4...5...

6...7...8...

You're a long way away from 40.

- What was that?

- 8.

Are you sure?

- Wasn't that 48?

- I'm sure.

- You saw 48.

- I didn't.

I mean, come on.

Those guys... they don't

believe you, anyway.

Not gonna lie for you.

You know, compliant detainees get

to play on a real field together?

Uh-huh. They are lucky.

If you stop acting up,

they'll transfer you.

- You know that, right?

- Mm-hmm.

And you don't care?

It's those guys who don't care, blondie.

You know, they don't care about anything,

just the things that make their life easier.

You guys always say, "follow these rules...

we will let you watch TV," huh?

But if I follow your

rules, what does it means?

It means that I'm agreeing that you

have the right to give me rules, huh?

Well, you don't.

You don't have the right to give me rules.

So, me...

I never agree to follow your rules...

Never.

You know, maybe you think

I'm stupid for this.

- No, you're not stupid.

- No. I mean, maybe you're right, but...

You're definitely not stupid.

You went to university.

You're making fun of me, huh?

Yeah, you're making fun...

you're laughing at me, huh?

Come on. Look at you.

You're laughing at me, huh?

- What's that about?

- Nothing.

They don't like you talking to me, huh?

Private...

Get over here.

Neither do they, huh?

Yes, Corporal?

What were you just talking

about over there?

With Ali?

No, with detainee 471.

- Nothing.

- Uh-huh. All right.

Well, if you ain't talking about nothing,

then you don't need to be talking, right?

Hey!

Hey, I did 20 kicks!

Hey! I did 20 kicks!

Did you see that, blondie?

I swear I did 20!

I swear I did!

I'm gonna need your help

on the showers today.

The showers?

I know you don't want to, but

all my extra men are dealing

with some d*ckhead in delta pod that

decided to cover his entire cell in poop.

I can't work showers.

They won't even look me in the eye.

- They think they're gonna shower?

- Well, that's their problem.

I mean, at least it'll speed things up.

- S.O.P. Clearly states we are not...

- I know what S.O.P. Says.

What's the matter?

Can't handle it?

You want me to get one of my other guys,

pull him away from doing whatever

the hell he's doing, so he can do it for you?

No.

Forget her.

Get your ass in there.

Let's go, skippy.

Get undressed.

Clock's ticking.

Get your pants off.

And shorts off.

Come on.

Get your f***ing shorts off.

Get your f***ing shorts off,

or I'll call in an Irf and we'll get them

to take them off for you.

Get them off.

You guarding the fence,

or you guarding him?

This is completely out of line.

Let me ask you something...

are you a soldier,

or are you a female soldier?

'Cause I don't have these kind

of problems with soldiers.

You got to watch him.

That's your job.

Look at him.

Hey, Cole, I thought that was you.

What are you doing back here?

- Drinking.

- No sh*t.

What's wrong?

You had a bad day or something?

Not particularly.

Not as bad as yours, I hear.

What do you mean?

I heard some detainee

just covered his cell on feces.

Probably wasn't fun.

When... today?

On delta pod?

No, it was just pretty quiet all day.

Yeah.

Must have been another pod.

No, nothing like that

happened on any of the pods.

If it did, I would've saw it.

Come in, boys! It's shot time!

That's what I'm talking about!

Oh, hey.

What do you want?

Jackie Chan got one.

Shh! Shh!

I'm not following you here.

Private first class Cole

reporting as ordered, sir.

At ease.

Have a seat, private.

Candy?

No, thank you, sir.

I've read your report.

I've also spoken to corporal ransdell.

In your report, you say that you were...

...escorting a detainee to the showers

after rec... is that correct?

Affirmative.

And you filed the report because

this was uncomfortable.

Well... No, I-it made him uncomfortable.

- Who?

- The detainee.

So you filed against a fellow soldier

because the detainee was uncomfortable?

It was not the proper

way to treat him, sir.

Did the detainee take a shower?

Yes, sir.

Sounds like he wasn't that

uncomfortable with it, then.

It was a blatant violation of

standard operating procedure,

which is why I filed the report.

Since you knew what was

happening was against S.O.P.,

what exactly were you doing there?

I was ordered to be there, sir.

Corporal ransdell gave you a direct order?

He had lied about being shorthanded.

Did he order you, or did he lie to you?

Sir...

'Cause it seems to me there'd be no point

to lie to you if he simply ordered you.

- He... he...

- And there's nothing going on?

You don't have a personal

relationship with him,

nothing going on outside the wire?

No, sir.
