The Siege Page #4

HUB:

Special Order 12333 refers to domestic

terrorism. You got something you

want to "share" with me?

(he waits... but no

answer is forthcoming)

Us being teammates and all?

ELISE:

(holds up a clipboard)

Unfortunately, not yet. But as soon

as I do, I'll --

HUB:

-- get back to me, yeah, I know.

(takes the clipboard

from her hands)

Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna

have a couple my "teammates" here

escort you back to wherever you came

from. And then I'm gonna go back to

the office and wait for that official

cooperation request. Okay by you?

ELISE:

Swell.

HUB:

Nice meeting you, Elise. Is that

Elise with an "E" or an "A"?

ELISE:

Nice meeting you, too, Special Agent

Hubbard.

OUTSIDE THE WAREHOUSE

Hub watches as Elise is led away by two AGENTS. Agent Rose

stands nearby.

HUB:

Tail her.

NICE LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT

In Frank Haddad's home. The Haddad's are celebrating the day

FRANK JR. has finished reading the Holy Koran.

FRANK JR (O.S.)

(in Arabic)

"In the Name of Allah, the beneficent,

the merciful. Say: I seek refuge in

the Lord of Men, the King of Men."

Frank's TEACHER offers the final benediction. Those who are

Muslim cover their face with their palms.

TEACHER:

(in Arabic)

"Make me know that which I have become

ignorant of; and make me recite it

in the hours of the night and the

day; and make it an argument for me

O Thou Sustainer of all the worlds!"

Ameen!

ALL:

Ameen.

Later --

The guests mingle, eat pastries and drink sweet tea.

TINA:

...Nice, wasn't it?

HUB:

Very.

TINA:

(after a moment)

You ever gonna stop by, pick up your

things?

Nearby, Mike and Danny observe them.

DANNY:

-- He doing her?

MIKE:

Some detective you are. They stopped.

FRED:

Really? I wonder if she likes white

guys.

DANNY:

I wonder if she likes bald guys.

Hub, meanwhile, congratulates Frank's wife, NAJIBA.

HUB:

You must be so proud...

NAJIBA:

Small children, small worries. Big

children --

FRANK:

-- big orthodontia bills. Someday,

you'll understand.

And then Frank notices Hub's DRIVER standing in the doorway.

FRANK:

Where we going?

HUB:

You're staying with your family. I'm

back in the morning.

Hub is looking at surveillance photos of Elise. Frank enters.

FRANK:

You sleep here?

(Hub smiles, but

doesn't look up)
