Rendition Page #3

Second time.

Second time. Please.

Drink, my friend.

No, thank you.

So Dixon

was replacing Simms.

Yeah.

Yes. And now it's you.

- Now it's me.

- Mm-hmm.

Please.

Almonds.

Good. Very good.

Um...

Our questions.

Of course. Thank you.

Al Jazeera

is running footage.

Security authorities

have confirmed 19 deaths.

Most of the victims

are women and children.

A tourist video

found at the scene...

shows the source of the blast.

In an email to the station,

El-Hazim has claimed...

Why the hell didn't we get that?

Call Abdou, I want a copy now.

So...

you're staying to observe.

I will ask your questions.

But there will be no

suggestions, no interference...

while I work. Understood?

Good.

The struggle against

the Zionist and the Crusader...

represents the decisive battle

between faith and infidelity.

Between good and evil.

The destruction of the infidel

and hypocrite is your sacred duty.

When you meet the Apostate you are

commanded to "strike the necks."

The Crusader

talks about freedom.

Jihad is the only path

to freedom.

Do not fear their bullets.

What can they do...

but set your soul free?

On the Day of Judgment...

when you stand before

the Almighty God...

and He asks you...

"Why did you not fight

for the cause of God?

"And for the oppressed. The men,

the women and the children?

"What did you do

with the one weapon I gave you?

"Your body."

What will be your answer?

Will you display the wounds

of martyrdom and walk through

the gates of heaven?

Or, will you hang your head

in shame and roast in the fires of hell?

Success is from God.

May the peace and blessings and

glory of God, the Almighty, be upon you.

Amen.

Amen.

Praise God.

God is great!

S-s-sir?

There's been

some kind of mistake.

Why have my clothes

been taken from me?

I want my clothes.

No one has told me why I'm here

or--or what I've done.

I--This is crazy!

I want my clothes!

And I want to speak

to a lawyer immediately!

Yes. Yes, of course, you do.

I have just a few questions.

If you answer honestly,

we can send you home.

Sir.

Sir. Are you American?

I've lived in the States

for twenty years.

My wife is American.

Her name

is Isabella Fields El-Ibrahimi.

If you just call her--

You are Egyptian. Yes?

You are Egyptian.

Yes.

I was born in Egypt...

but I came to the States

when I was fourteen years old.

I studied at NYU.

- I got my mas--

- Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I have it all here.

Your English is beautiful.

What language do you speak

with Rashid?

I don't know who that is.

I've never talked

to anyone named Rashid.

So how do you explain

these calls?

- What?

- Hmm?

Um...

Uh, it must be a--a mistake.

Maybe it's a mix-up.

My name is "El-Ibrahim-ee."

But, um, sometimes

people call me "El-Ibrahim."

But it's "Ibrahim-ee"

with an "i."

- With an "i." "Ibrahim-ee."

- So--

Yes. Very good.

Rashid Salimi and one

El-Ibrahimi, with an "i."

Don't tell me

he didn't call you.

All this info, it's lies.

I don't know.

You never get calls from Egypt?

No.

Yes. I mean, yes.

My--My family is in Egypt.

- Then they call you.

- Of course, they call me.

Of course. What about?

Little things.

Uh, family things.

Like what? Like, uh...

Um, like...

like my Uncle Yusef.

He called, asking if NYU

is a good school...

for his...for my cousin.

Yusef who?

Yusef Abdul Hamid?

Yes.

- Where is he?

- What?

Your uncle.

Where is your uncle?

Why?

Why do you want

to talk to my uncle?

My friend...

put yourself

in our position.

A criminal named Rashid...

has been on a bombing campaign

for two years.

In the last few months,

suddenly his explosives...

are more sophisticated,

more deadly.

You are an engineer.

You have the chemical know-how.

We have direct calls to you

from a number linked to Rashid.

What are we to think?

You tell me.

What are we to think?

It's a mistake.

It's a mistake.

A mistake.

What if I were to tell you that

we have a signed confession...

from one

of Rashid's lieutenants...

that you have been aiding them

for more than a year?

Then...I'd say you were lying.

Put him in the hole.

Would you like some water?

Come. I want

to show you something.

They close the fool's hand...

around this

pressure release trigger.

Pull the pin.

It's like a hand grenade.

You let go, it detonates.

If the bomber

changes his mind...

they have a shooter

who will take him out.

The hand releases.

Boom.

They make it like this...

with nails and bolts...

for maximum human damage.

This is what killed

your friend Dixon.

The work we do

is important, Douglas.

It is sacred.

We save lives.

Dixon wasn't my friend.

I let myself in.

Yeah.

- Do you mind?

- No.

- I gotta get cleaned up.

- No, you don't.

Yeah.

Come on.

I, uh...

Oh.

Douglas.

Talk to me.

What happened today?

It was a bad day.

What happened?

That's him.

You see?

Heading right for me. The dog.

Is someone trying to stop him?

Wait, wait.

She's blocking him.

The gunshot...

Useless.

Is it a boy or a girl?

Oh, um...

We wanted to wait.

Well, it sounds like

a law-enforcement issue.

Have you spoken to the FBI?

Yeah.

They never heard of him.

Hmm.

I-l-I don't know how I can

help you on this one, Alan.

All right.

What's your involvement

with this?

Uh, she is an old friend.

- She outside?

- Mm-hmm.

Uh, you want me to say hello.

I mean, I'd rather not.

No, I'd rather you not.

I got a question.

Shoot.

When the CIA decides

to move someone covertly...

who gives the order for that?

Corrine Whitman.

Right.

Thanks.

She comes in here once a week...

to brief the Senate

Intelligence Committee.

Now, Senator Hawkins

is on that committee. Okay?

They have a relationship.

I need to be delicate...

so let me do the talking.

I don't want her to know

you're in the room, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

- Izzy?

Yeah.

Okay.

Corrine Whitman's office.

Hello. Alan Smith,

Senator Hawkins' office.

I need to speak

with Ms. Whitman.

This is Todd Hamilton, Mrs.

Whitman's executive assistant.

Can I ask what this is about?

Anwar El-Ibrahim.

Please hold.

Mr. Smith?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Mrs. Whitman is not available.

Generally, or to talk

about Mr. El-Ibrahim?

Please submit your inquiry

in writing to her office.

What does that mean?

CIA calls it

"extraordinary rendition."

It started under Clinton.

The agency wanted to be able to

move suspected terrorists...

without having to formally apply

for extradition.

Now, it's supposed

to be used...

only under

extraordinary circumstances.

But after 9/11,

it took on a whole new life.

Basically, the government

has authorized the seizure...

and transfer of anyone they

suspect of being involved...

in terrorism to secret prisons

outside of the U.S.

Alan,

Anwar is not a terrorist.

- There's nothing extremist about him.

- I know.

He coaches Jeremy's soccer team,

for Christ sakes.

What do you mean prison?

Okay, but there

must be some reason...
