The Devil's Double Page #5

Synopsis: Baghdad, the playground for the rich and infamous, where anything can be bought - but for a price. This is Uday Hussein's world and with his depraved lust for debauchery and immorality, he helps himself to whatever turns him on. When army lieutenant Latif Yahia is summoned to Saddam's palace, he is faced with an impossible request - to be Uday's 'fiday' - his body double, or have his family condemned to death. In a world entrenched in betrayal and corruption, knowing who to trust becomes a matter of life or death for Latif, as he battles to escape from his forced existence.

Look at me.

What do you see?

Uday's whore?

- Is that what I am to you?

- I spoke to the operator.

He gave me a list of outgoing calls.

I didn't call the Iraqi Embassy three times.

It wasn't me

who called the Iraqi Olympic Committee.

I got scared.

I was calling my sister.

- I was scared for my daughter.

- It was you, Sarrab.

You.

You called Uday. You told him where I was.

It was you.

Take what you want, Sarrab.

There is money in the hotel room.

My poor Latif.

And how is Sarrab?

Did she tell you about her daughter

living with her sister?

And you believed her.

Don't hang up the phone, motherf***er.

I have your father in my office.

Let me speak to him.

Come home, Latif.

Think of your father.

Come back to Baghdad.

I'm going to put your father on the phone.

I want you to listen

to what he has to say to you.

He's going to tell you what to do.

Here.

Speak to your son.

Are you well, my son?

Yes, I'm fine. Listen, I have a plan.

I'm going to say this once,

and it's my final word.

You will do as I tell you

or you are no longer my son.

Tell this evil son of a b*tch

to go to hell.

Speak up, Latif.

What is it to be?

Go to hell.

Latif Yahia.

They took my father

to Uday's office that morning.

They dropped his body off

at 4:
00 in the afternoon.

My mother was forbidden

to give him a decent burial.

She was told to bury him in the garden.

Nothing will bring my wife back.

Or your father.

Why have you come here?

What do you want?

Hey, girls! Girls!

You, come and talk to me.

Hey, you. Come here.

Come. I'll take you home.

With the pretty hair.

You're very pretty. No, you are.

Please, come on. Where are you from?

Trying to get away from me, huh?

He's stopped.

Come on. Are they your friends?

Move. Ali. Ali, Yassem.

Get the f*** out! Move!

Yassem! Yassem!

Ali! Ali! No!

- No! Yassem! Yassem!

- This is for my wife!

Latif?

No! Please stop!

No! No!

Out of my way!

Move!

You, stop!

Move, move!

Stop!

Clear the area!

Clear the area!

Move!
