we are truly famous Eliott.

We have become a recognisable brand.

I'll leave you to your thoughts.

But if I were you,

I'd keep talking...

I'd talk as much as I could...

because very soon it will be

very quiet for you Eliott Gast...

that I promise you.

We don't have much time Eliott.

Time for what?

To talk in confidence.

I have temporarily

disabled their cameras.

Please help me.

All I can do I tell you what

I know so that you can prepare.

Don't they have their money yet?

They have reached their goal

and more...

this is where there is disagreement.

Understand, our group

is diverse by its nature...

there are various...

Just get me outta here...

We are wasting valuable time

discussing the impossible.

Stop it!

This is your work.

I am sorry...

Then help me.

I will do what I can.

I want to unmask your pirate friend.

I need you to tell me when

the time is right.

I will give you a signal.

Good.

We don't have much more time Eliott.

You must know that what comes next

will be very difficult.

I cannot stop the others

from continuing...

but I can tell you this...

your mind is

what makes you who you are...

even when your body is damaged...

your mind will remain in tact.

I'd prefer to have both.

No... they are committed

to moving ahead.

Because there's so much money coming in?

Oui,

this is one of the reasons...

and now there are more...

more personal...

Camera on.

Confessing your sins is one of the

first steps towards redemption Mr. Gast.

I would take this time

to reflect upon your life.

I've done little else.

Please accept my deepest apologies.

I have sinned,

I stole money deliberately...

I pray that God in His goodness will

rescue me from my little tendencies.

I have taken advantage

of an affliction...

in doing so I've demeaned not only myself,

but my family, my state and my race.

For that I sincerely apologise.

You have been watching me...

for several weeks now.

Sometimes I'm walking around...

other times

I have been writhing in pain...

at all times I have been a prisoner.

I know that efforts are underway

to gain my release...

and I appreciate that.

I wanna thank my wife

for doing what she can...

to help end this pointless

and barbaric charade...

but I have something else to say...

Although I have denied

any wrong doing so far...

I wanna tell you the so-called secrets

that have landed my here...

then you can decide

whether they merit this treatment...

For the last three years...

I have been active in encouraging

target nations to accept loans...

large loans...

packaged as unrestricted American aid.

Before long these nations default

on repayment as we intended...

its like issuing credit cards

to college students...

they become beholden to us so we can ask

them to help us however we need them to...

politically... militarily.

Debt is better than any treaty,

believe me.

But I realise now

that is has consequences.

By putting American interests first...

I'm sure we've made life worse,

much worse for many people.

I didn't think about this at the time...

but I do now,

and I sincerely apologise.

More...

What?

Say something else.

Punishing me for my work...

is like beating the paperboy

for bringing bad news.

I did not authorise the loans.

I delivered them to corrupt officials

but I didn't tell them what to do with it.

I am a small cog in a system

that is beyond my control.

I am not responsible for all

that I'm being blamed for.

More si' vous plait.

Okay then.

I single-handedly

dreamed up globalisation.

I like the world Trade Organisation.

I eat junk food all day long,

sometimes all week.

I'm intent on burning down the rainforest

and building luxury condos there.

On weekends I club sea turtles

and dolphins and baby seals...

Will they release me now?

They're angry enough

with you as it is...

do not push your luck.

Its time to focus not on what you've lost,

but on what you still have.

Just try and think of

this as a second chance.

Well it's easy for you to be so glib...

you're not the one being tortured.

This much is true,

but you are missing my point.

Right,

that little bit about the mind...

how I should be lucky

to still have one.

Well, after a month in this room...

with only you and the others

to talk to...

I'm not sure that I do.

Here...

Why are you here anyway?

Did they send you in ere to find out

more about my brilliant career?

I have nothing left to confess.

I asked to come in here.

Why?

I enjoy you company.

Likewise...

There's only one problem...

I'm losing my mind,

do you hear me? I've had enough!

I know.

I told you I will try and help you...

You call this helping!

I'm sorry,

there was nothing I could do.

Just get me outta here!

Have faith Eliott...

you will leave here soon...

but there is still much ahead for you.

Then let's just get it over with!

Bring on the torture!

I'm already broken!

Cut off more parts!

Burn me some more!

Take it over the top!

It's easy, it's easy!

You're boring our audience.

Good, f*** them.

Turn around.

Now!

You're too much of a coward.

You hide behind you mask,

behind your ridiculous features.

Everyone watching

knows you're an idiot!

Good,

we're getting somewhere.

Say something else.

You lay claim to some kind of moral

superiority but you're a f***ing hypocrite...

a spoiled child...

your beliefs are naive.

And you are better?

You know nothing about me.

I know what you stand for

and I detest it!

Well you got your work cut out then...

there are millions more

where I came from.

Then I will f***

each and every one of you...

You...

f*** you!

F*** you...

f***!

Just a minute.

Do you mind?

Stop this! Stop this!

Tell them to let me go!

Call the embassy chief and tell them

to pay whatever they want.

Get the money from IBIS,

just tell them they need to stop!

I just wanna go home.

More excitement!

And a touch of creativity,

I'm impressed...

as I'm sure is our audience.

Everyone wants you

to be a hero Eliott Gast.

They are cheering you on.

Unfortunately you won't

be able to hear them.

Despite the recent excitement...

this part requires concentration

and a calm mind,

otherwise the pain

will be unbearable...

and the procedure unsuccessful.

I've confessed already,

I've confessed!

I've given everything you wanted.

I understand...

please, allow me...

to ease the pain...

You tell those folks what you did.

Please accept my deepest apologies...

I have sinned.

I've stolen money deliberately...

I pray that God in his goodness

to rescue me from my little tendencies.

I've taken advantage of an infliction.

In doing so I've demeaned not only myself,

but my family, my state and my race.

I didn't think about this

at the time...

but I do now.

And for that I sincerely apologise.

Any last words?

It'll be a pleasure not to have to hear the

sound of your ridiculous voice ever again.

Very brave Eliott.

The audience will really
