Strip Search Page #3

That is unless it's decided

she goes before a tribunal, then all bets are off.

No lawyer, no jury.

(Knock at door)

(Speaks Chinese)

- Lieutenant. You know Mr. Hudson.

- Yes.

He wants an estimate as to when

you will have finished with Sykes.

- By noon.

- Are you causing her any physical harm?

You Americans want our government

to help you,

feed you information,

but you get nervous with our methods.

Do I look nervous?

I just don't want to be surprised

by any bruises.

- Don't worry.

- Did you bring the file?

This is everything we could get

on such short notice.

Thank you.

Back to work.

You are welcome to wait.

For what?

I don't even know she's here.

You really believe

this boy is part of a terrorist cell?

There's been an increase in chatter

the past few weeks.

Our intelligence tells us

something is about to happen.

We believe Sharif

can lead us to the perpetrators.

Whether he himself is a terrorist,

who knows?

Look, I'm getting a lot of heat

from the ambassador, from home,

I have to tell them something.

When can I say he'll be released?

Depending on how cooperative he is,

we'll start deportation by the end of the week

or put him on trial.

Assure me he'll have access to a lawyer.

No problem. We find the lawyer/client meetings

to be very informative.

That is unless it's decided

he'll go before a tribunal, then all bets are off.

No lawyer, no jury.

- May I see him?

- That isn't advisable at this time.

Did you bring the file?

This is everything we could get

on such short notice.

Ah, thank you.

Oh.

Back to work.

You're welcome to wait.

For what?

I don't even know that he's here.

- Take off your clothes.

- What?

- Your clothes. Take them off.

- Why?

Because I'm going to do a strip search.

- Strip...

- Full cavity.

But why?

Because it's what we do.

It's part of the procedure.

I thought searches were done by people...

of the same sex.

Well, usually they are,

but there are occasional exceptions like this.

Take off your clothes.

Take off your clothes.

- What?

- Your clothes. Take them off.

Why?

Because I'm going to do a strip search.

- A strip...

- Full cavity.

But why?

Because that's what we do.

It's part of the procedure.

I thought...

searches were done

by people of the same sex.

Usually that's true, but there are

occasional exceptions like this.

Take off your clothes.

What if I say no?

- Say no?

- Well, I don't want to.

Look at the situation from my side.

I can't take the chance

of releasing the wrong person.

I cannot give you the benefit of the doubt.

I can't give you the benefit of the doubt.

I demand to see somebody

from my embassy.

Why? Why not cooperate?

- Have you got something to hide?

- No.

Is it your body that you're embarrassed about,

something smaller than it ought to be?

There we go.

Thank you for the cooperation.

Do you have something to hide?

No.

Is there a part of your body

you're embarrassed about, something...

smaller than it ought to be?

There we go.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Uh, uh.

Hm.

You work out.

You have a good solid body.

So I figure maybe you go to the gym.

Pants.

Sexy.

Take them off.

Yes. A good solid body.

And by solid I don't mean fat.

You are not fat.

We can all afford

to lose a few pounds, of course.

But you're not even close to fat.

Sexy.

Take them off.

Yes. You've got a good solid body.

By solid I do not mean fat.

You are not fat.

We can all afford to lose a few pounds,

of course, but you're not even close to fat.

Did you know that the al-Qaeda

in their training manual

suggest that martyrs for Allah shave off

all of their body hair before they die?

Why?

For what purpose?

I ask you, why?

I don't know anything about al-Qaeda.

(Sighs) I'm not saying that you do.

- Open your mouth.

- My mouth?

Wide.

Aah.

Like at the dentist.

I mean, you do go to the dentist, don't you?

Wider.

Come on, help me out.

My mouth doesn't go any wider.

Open like during oral sex.

You know they call this a cavity search,

cavity meaning every orifice in the body.

But you'd be surprised the number of times

I actually find a cavity in someone's teeth.

But not you.

Yours are in tiptop condition.

There. That wasn't so bad, was it?

Ever been married?

No.

You...

like girls,

don't you?

Yes.

So if I touch you down there...

what do you think your reaction will be?

Don't.

Don't?

Please.

Don't.

(Sniffs)

Ever been married?

No.

You like girls, don't you?

Yes.

So if I touch you down there,

what do you think your reaction will be?

Don't.

Oh.

Don't. Did you say don't?

Please don't.

Ah.

That was sweet. Er...

What's the word?

Plaintive.

That's what happens to people

who end up in here.

Outside these walls they're tough,

they've got an attitude.

But once that door shuts, they crumble.

They turn into little girls.

That's what you remind me of now.

A frightened little girl.

Stop.

That a sensitive area for you?

I don't like being touched.

- Being touched there or anywhere?

- Stop!

Careful! You don't want to hit me!

That's what you remind me of right now,

a frightened little girl.

Stop.

- I don't... Stop!

- Is that a sensitive area for you?

- I don't like people touching me.

- Touching you there or anywhere?

Stop!

Careful. You don't want to hit me.

The consequences would be dire.

Aargh! Aargh!

Oh.

Tell me about your girlfriend.

I didn't say I had a girlfriend.

There are references to her in your emails.

Is there any part of my life

you haven't picked through?

Was she the great love of your life?

Why did she leave?

There is nothing in my emails

about her leaving.

How do you know she left?

I can see the pain in your eyes.

Why did she walk out on you?

I don't know. Why does anybody walk out?

Look familiar?

That's her.

Yes.

Gorgeous.

By the way,

she's our witness.

She's going to testify against you.

No.

She wouldn't.

She wouldn't do that.

(Cries)

Settle down.

So why did she walk out on you?

I don't know.

Why does anybody walk out?

Look familiar?

- That's her.

- Yes.

Gorgeous.

By the way,

she's our witness.

She's gonna testify against you.

No!

She wouldn't.

- She wouldn't do that!

- Settle down.

We found these photos

in your apartment.

Airports, bridges.

A tunnel.

Dam.

I'm a tourist. I photograph things.

If you looked, you also saw...

mountains, sunsets, children playing.

A week ago, you rented a car.

Ah, no, I just signed the forms for a friend.

We found trace elements of TN in the trunk of that car.

- What?

- Granted they're only molecules,

but why was there TN in the trunk of the car you rented?

I told you, I didn't rent the car for myself.

A friend asked me as a favor.

Which friend? What's the name?

I'm not gonna tell you.

I'm not guilty of anything and neither is he.

You harbored a terrorist.

- No.

- You financed a terrorist.

- No!

- You aided and abetted a terrorist.

No!

Would you still say that
