The inference being she's selling secrets.

And that's it?

What do you want? A picture of her wearing a

burka and having drinks with the Taliban?

What did she tell you?

Can't talk to her until tomorrow.

Public safety exception.

And you accepted that?

Where did you get your law degree?

Oh...

It's possible you were

once a good lawyer, Colonel.

But what I see is a tired lifer who'd do

anything not to endanger his pension.

Let me know when you remember

what that uniform stands for.

Thank you.

How long are we supposed to do this,

I'm getting hungry.

Just be patient.

What do you think he's eating?

Shut up.

New gun?

Yup.

Ah, it's nice.

It makes your hands look big.

Ah, you don't like big hands?

I'l put one of these in your face

in a minute you carry on.

Everything will be alright.

Hey, hey. Where did he go?

I don't know, maybe he went to the pisser.

You're supposed to be watching him.

What do you think I have eyes

in the back of my head?

How's it going?

Don't!

Show me.

Throw it in the back.

I don't like being followed.

Hi!

I don't like being followed.

On the sidewalk before.

And then the market.

You're a little thief.

You a cop?

I look like a cop?

Narc maybe.

You know a lot of narcs.

It's the hair cut.

Thanks.

I did it myself.

So, you're looking for something weird.

See ya.

Are you Candice Dutton's daughter?

What'd she do this time?

Nothing.

I'm an old friend.

Yeah?

Well, she's not into doing

that kind of thing anymore.

That's not what I meant.

If you're looking for my mom,

I don't live with her.

Who do you live with?

You were right, Major.

I am tired.

But I'm not stupid.

Seargants Mirkovich and Cibelli.

Two weeks ago, Major Turner dispatches

them to Afghanistan on an investigation.

And they file reports daily.

Two days ago, they're both found

dead near Bagram Airbase.

Shot at close range.

The next day Major

Turner's thrown in prison.

What do you know about Para Source?

Para Source?

It is...

a big military contractor.

Why?

I don't know how they're

involved in all this,

but they've been following

me since I got here ..

Whoever killed Mirkovich and Cibelli,

wanted Major Turner isolated.

I think they're going to kill her too.

What are you talking about? You have no

idea if any of these things are connected.

- We need to get her out. - And might I

reiterate she does not want you involved.

Do it now.

I'll call you tonight.

[MOTEL]

People question the value of enhanced

interrogation techniques.

Enhanced interrogation techniques don't work.

Torture on the other hand, works very well.

No..

Attorney client privilege goes back to the

earliest days of English common law.
