would go along with them.

Which is why you can be damn sure

they won't ever get to hear them.

Well, maybe they should.

What are you afraid of?

He didn't ask us to do anything.

He just asked the President to announce it.

Might save a few million people.

We've got 21 hours left.

We're running out of time.

It's what he wants.

And he's gathering his strength.

Bargaining for time.

If you don't cut this deal,

I may have to crank this up a notch or two.

To what? What's a notch or two

beyond what you're already doing?

What are you getting by torturing him?

He's given us nothing.

We've played right into his hands.

Someone's gonna have to make a call here.

The call is this,

I'm not phoning upstairs

to tell the President he has to change

a century's worth of Middle East policy

because some a**hole made a video.

You haven't even figured out

if the bombs are real!

Okay then.

Pending further developments,

we can assume

that the current open protocols

of interrogation continue

until otherwise directed by higher authority.

So, in other words,

you want me to go on my way

without telling me to go on my way?

Yusuf, you could make a deal.

You've got these guys cold.

They can't take you to court, they can't

prosecute a man with no fingernails.

Give us your accomplices,

tell us where the bombs are,

we put you on a flight to Pakistan.

- With my kids?

- They'll negotiate.

No one outside knows this ever happened.

Give us the bombs and you could be free.

He doesn't want to be free.

Everyone wants to be free.

An assumption the U.S. Has screwed up

all over the world.

What you call freedom is a false God.

See? Like minds.

Don't you get it, Brody?

He placed himself here.

He knew what we'd do to him.

Yusuf, tell me where the bombs are.

Make the deal.

The bombs

will explode if my terms are not met.

But they will be.

No other choice.

You have to tell them that, Brody.

You really don't want to be here for this.

How long does he stand there?

Security told the cops,

they came in and got him.

Speed it up, can you?

Zoom in.

He walks in, he stands

directly in front of a security camera,

and he stays there for 23 minutes

until he gets caught?

Same day he sent in the tape.

He wanted to get caught.

He let himself get captured

even though he knew we could torture him.

He was prepared for it.

"I'm all prepared," that's what he said.

Goddamn it!

He's making monkeys out of us, people.

He rented a truck.

That's loose circumstantial evidence at best.

We have no direct evidence

that he even possesses nuclear material.

Except a video with three bombs on it.

And he knows how to make those bombs

look just right, doesn't he?

He had the time, the means, the capability,

the finance, the contacts.

There's the Iranian connection.

Some a**hole waves a toy gun in the air

and forces the cops to shoot him.

Suicide by police.

How about torture by government?

You're saying he wanted to get captured

so we could torture him?

Just to make a point.

Well, what if it is a hoax?

He could ask for anything

and we'd have no way of finding out.

Brody, you better get back in there. Now.

You can leave him.

I've been ordered to take over.

Okay, Alvarez.

He's all yours.

We know, Yusuf.

We know about the bombs.

You're very skillful.

You can fake a nuke in a video, right?

- The bombs are real.

- All right.

Then give me one.

Come on, prove it.

Just give me one.

You don't want me to give you proof.

Nobody believes you, Yusuf.

They're only doing this crap

because they want your accomplices.

- What's she doing?

- But I don't even think they exist.

You'll see.

Don't ask me for proof.

We need it in order to believe

the bombs are real.

They'll give you what you want.

You'll be such a hero.

Your wife will come back,

your children will love you.

You let yourself be captured.

You knew what they might do to you,

and they did it.

Can't you see that you've already won?

You've proved that we are exactly

the kind of people we say we aren't.

Look what they did to you.

You are the bravest man I know.

But it's over now.

There's no proof.

There are no bombs, are there?

No. No, there never were.

There are no bombs.

I just want my wife

and my kids.

Please, there are no bombs!

Why did you let him keep on?

You could have told me at any time.

I f***ed up so bad.

My wife,

my religion, my country.

I'm so sorry.

Did you have nuclear material at any time?

Nothing. The bombs are empty shells,

there's nothing in them.

Where did you make the video?

No, I don't want them to hear.

Just whisper it in my ear.

Is that right?

Please don't let him hurt me anymore.

Please? Please, please.

It's a hoax.

I knew it was a hoax.

The man has been tortured.

I was leading with my questioning.

He would say just about anything right now.

She's right, you know.

We always knew

it was only a one percent chance

anyone could ever pull

something like this off.

We've got an address.

He said something

was going to happen today.

We need to take that seriously.

- Okay, go, now.

- Let's move.

I'm Special Agent Brody.

This is Special Agent Vincent.

- Major Pierce.

- What do you got?

Not much. EOD is inside now,

checking for booby traps,

doing environmental monitoring.

Looking for a source.

Let's go.

Helen, if this is a hoax,

then we're all off the hook.

Something's not right, Vince.

He planned all of this.

Hand me the printout.

This one.

It's the same, I'm sure.

Has this area been cleared yet?

Oh, sh*t.

Pierce?

We have a possible location, second floor,

southwestern corner.

Send a team immediately, please.

On our way, copy that.

God, this whole area

could be booby trapped.

Stay there! Don't move!

Sir, we found something on the roof.

Vince.

He wants us up here.

Why?

What the hell is this?

Don't touch that!

Sh*t.

Experts on the scene think that a bomb

probably made from C4 plastic explosives

has been deliberately detonated

in a downtown shopping mall.

They did not rule out terrorism.

So far, we've seen several bodies come out.

They wouldn't give us a count.

I got no idea

how many casualties we've got in there,

but there are badly injured people.

People are screaming for help.

The whole building, it just blew up.

You stupid son-of-a-b*tch.

Okay, okay! Imagine what

three goddamn nukes would do!

How could you do this?

How could you?

You wanted proof,

I needed a break. I can hold out now.

It was a shopping mall!

Fifty-three people are dead!

That was your fault.

God loves them, they're martyrs, all martyrs.

Fifty-three of them.

Fifty-three bodies blown to pieces!

- Don't do it, Brody.

- Shut up!

- Don't.

- Where are those bombs?

Where are those f***ing bombs?

Do it! Do it!

I love my country, you people crap on it!

I love my religion and you people spit on it!

Just remember something,

I'm here because I want to be here!

I let myself be caught

because I'm not a coward.
