Strip Search

(Woman) I heard this big bang

and then the building is falling down!

It looks like a second plane.

(Bush) The US military has begun strikes.

(Reporter)... cases of anthrax...

We need every tool that's available to us.

Tools that respect...

(Bush) My focus

is bringing al-Qaeda to justice.

(Man) Say, theoretically,

that the government of the United States

could rid the world of terrorism forever,

but only if for a single day,

you gave up all of your rights

as American citizens.

24 hours with no rights.

What would you say? Would you do it?

Sure.

OK. The government says

it could rid the world of terrorism forever...

if you give up all of your rights for...

a week.

Would you do it? Come on. A week.

A week. A week, all right?

A month?

A year? A year.

Just a year.

Ten years?

- Ten years.

- No.

A lifetime.

Absolutely not. No way.

(Bell)

(Oriental music)

Sorry. Sorry.

(Door being unlocked)

(Keys jangling)

Are you uncomfortable?

I'll bet you are uncomfortable.

Do you promise to behave?

How's that?

That's better.

I'm a public servant.

I'm here to serve.

Why am I here?

Were you hurt

when the officers arrested you?

Arrested?

I told them to be respectful.

Why have I been arrested?

I haven't done anything wrong.

Filthy habit.

Unhealthy.

Listen. I know that I'm a foreigner,

and as such I may not be aware

of all the laws that you people have,

but I swear I can't imagine

what crime I've committed.

- How long have you been in this country?

- A year. Maybe a little more.

I can see how that may not be enough time

to learn our laws.

Not all of them, no. Basics.

You know, the ones

that are common everywhere.

- Against murder and stealing...

- Perhaps I misspoke.

You were not arrested.

You've simply been brought in for questioning.

An interrogation?

An interview.

Because I'm a suspect?

A subject of an inquiry.

An investigation...

into crimes,

some of which may not as yet

have been committed.

You think I may commit a crime?

Anyone is capable

given the proper circumstance.

My own mother...

was arrested for shoplifting.

She's an old lady.

I have no criminal record,

no prior arrests either here or at home.

Good.

I'd like to see a lawyer,

contact my embassy.

Why?

Because, not knowing the local laws,

I'm afraid...

That you will indict yourself?

No.

I...

don't know my rights.

You haven't read me my rights.

That's because...

you are not charged with anything.

Then I can go?

No.

- No.

- I can be held without being charged?

Yes.

For how long?

48 hours. Seven days, six months,

however long it takes.

Takes for what?

You to tell me what I need.

You mean confess?

Confess to a crime that

may or may not have been committed?

That I may have committed

not knowing it was a crime

or that may not even be a crime yet?

The photograph doesn't do you justice,

you're much more handsome.

Or maybe the word is pretty.

Look...

You've certainly been to plenty of places.

Russia, Cyprus.

Venezuela.

Israel. You're not Jewish.

Indonesia. Now there's a hotbed of terrorism.

What were you doing there?

- None of your business.

- Sit down.

Please.

Oh.

It's hot in here.

Yes. That time of year.

(Whirring)

Sometimes...

the best thing to do is to just sweat.

(Tires screeching)

- (Groans) What are you doing?

- Easy, man.

I'll break you up. Get down. Stay down.

Aargh!

All right, buddy, let's go.

Head down.

Right. Come on.

Come on.

Move it.

Come on.

- Watch your head.

- Get in.

- Easy.

- Let's go.

My government has started

fingerprinting foreigners from certain countries.

But I don't think that's enough.

I think maybe the best solution

is to put ankle bracelets,

monitoring devices, on specific visitors.

Not you.

In order to keep an eye on their movements.

That way...

we know where they go,

who they associate with,

what they're up to.

Anyway, that's what I think.

But who am I?

Just a lowly cog in a rusty wheel.

Ignored.

Unappreciated.

Underpaid.

Can you identify this man?

No. Who is he?

I don't know. I was hoping you could tell me.

We think he might be a natural-born citizen,

but we're not sure.

See, that's the problem with my concept

about the ankle bracelets.

One does not have to be a foreigner

to be disloyal.

Disloyal? What do you consider disloyal?

Speaking negatively about our government.

Criticizing our leaders.

That's dissent. There's a difference

between disloyalty and dissent.

I'm sure in your mind...

that's true.

(Beeping and whirring)

(Beeping)

Are you uncomfortable?

I bet you're uncomfortable.

Do you promise to behave?

How's that?

Better.

I'm a public servant. I'm here to serve.

Why am I here?

Were you hurt

when the officers arrested you?

Arrested?

I told them to be respectful.

Why have I been... arrested?

I...

- I haven't done anything wrong.

- That's a filthy habit.

It's unhealthy.

Listen.

I know that I am a foreigner

and as such I may not be aware

of all the laws you people have...

but I can't imagine what crime I've committed.

How long have you been in this country?

A year.

Maybe a little more.

Well, I can see why that may not be

enough time to learn our laws.

Well, not all of them.

No.
