Unthinkable Page #8

Synopsis: A convert to Islam sends the U.S. government a tape showing him in three nondescript storage rooms, each of which may contain a nuclear bomb set to detonate in less than a week. Helen Brody, an FBI agent in L.A., is tasked with finding the bombs while a CIA "consultant," known as H, interrogates the suspect who has allowed himself to be caught. The suspect, whose wife and children have left him and disappeared, seems to know exactly what the interrogation will entail. Even as H ratchets up the pressure, using torture over Brody's objection, the suspect doesn't crack. Should H do the unthinkable, and will Brody acquiesce? Is any Constitutional principle worth possible loss of life?

Faith is not enough, he has to know it.

He knows it!

Knowing it is not enough, he has to see it.

No! Get him out of there!

All right, that's enough! Winston,

get over here and blow that goddamn door!

All right, that's enough! Winston,

get over here and blow that goddamn door!

Clear the door!

Check, check!

Goddamn it! Take it out!

Check!

Move it!

H! Stand down! Stand down!

All right, that's enough. That's enough!

- Get the medic!

- No! Get them out of here!

No one else sees them, you understand me?

Nobody sees them!

What's the matter with you?

Get up! Get up!

You knew.

You knew he could do this.

- You had those kids lined up for him!

- I didn't know he'd go crazy!

That man over there killed 53 people.

Some of them women and children,

and yet somehow I'm the villain?

You keep your mouth shut, you maniac.

You're f***ing evil!

Oh, and he's not?

You hear that, Yusuf?

You win.

You got them all on your side now.

You're in the clear.

You don't even have to tell them

about the fourth bomb.

What do you mean?

Don't you know him by now?

He's planned this every step of the way.

I mean, what if he couldn't hold out?

All he's got to do

is give us the three bombs, right?

Now I remember 15 to 18 pounds

of nuclear material missing.

Can't you f***ing count?

Four and a half times three is 13 and a half,

times four is 18.

Give you three guesses what he did.

- Ask him.

- You think there's another bomb?

Course there's another bomb.

There's always another bomb.

He didn't tell you about the mall bomb.

But he gave you the other three.

Yes, Agent Brody, there's a fourth bomb.

Oh, Christ! Get those kids back in here.

If anyone tries to stop you, shoot him.

That is a direct order!

No. No bomb.

We can't do this.

- Brody, if there's a one percent chance...

- He's a maniac,

you just said so! We have no evidence.

But if we did it would be all right. Right?

You'll get the children back.

Really?

And what shall I do with them this time?

- How far can I go?

- Just do the job, H.

I have a condition.

You. You go out there

and drag those kids back in here kicking,

screaming and begging.

You take them in there

and strap them down,

'cause you're the only person here

with any decency.

F*** Alvarez, f*** Charlie.

F*** all the rest of these fucks.

- You do it.

- Why me?

'Cause if you can do it, then anybody can.

H, there is no time for games.

I'm not playing games.

I need your help.

Tell me I can do this.

Brody, this is his two kids

against thousands of ours.

Justify me,

tell me it's okay.

- Lf there's another bomb out there...

- You can't do this!

We're f***ing human beings.

Let the bomb go off! We cannot do this!

That's it.

You're a free man, Yusuf.

They can't prosecute

a man with no fingernails.

What the hell are you doing?

This is it. I'm letting him go.

We're done here.

We're not finished.

Where are those f***ing kids?

What are you gonna do? Shoot me?

Who's gonna do your dirty work for you?

You gonna do it yourself?

You don't think I have that covered?

We have your children, H.

Do you understand?

- Just get back to it. Right now!

- We need to calm down, okay?

Sh*t.

Put your f***ing weapon down

or I'll f***ing shoot you.

No, don't shoot him. Don't shoot him!

If he dies, we're screwed.

Yusuf, put that gun down.

Yusuf!

It's okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Please look after my children.

- Jesus.

- No.

We've done all we can.

Let's just hope.

We'll know soon enough.

Been nice working with you, Agent Brody.

This never happened.

They never existed.

Younger, the children, none of them.

Fly!Fly 0009!

We got the address! we've got on sight!

Location has been confirmed.

You are on go!

- We're good.

The bomb is disarmed.

I repeat:
the bomb is disarmed!

Congratulations, Major!
