Body of Lies Page #3

FERRIS:

Disks are passed from hand to hand.

The communiqus are not transmitted,

not copied.

My man says that real orders

are verbal or in code on paper.

Is there any indication of where he is?

No, sir.

He definitely does not have his location.

But he did mention there's a safe house

up north, near Balad...

... where Al-Saleem may have been.

BOY:

Dad?

HOFFMAN:

Hey.

They're killing anyone who knows anything.

He's scared.

We need to debrief him very carefully.

- All right, so do it.

- In the States.

No. Ahem.

They're onto him.

That's the reason he's running.

- On the toilet, not the floor.

- You hear me, right?

So he wants to come to America

in one piece...

...instead of going to paradise

in a thousand.

He should've thought of that before.

I'm telling you.

They will kill him within a few days, Ed.

Yep. And if they do, that's all right...

...because we can be there

to see who pulls the trigger.

Now, get back to bed. Good night.

- Am I missing the point?

- I just offered him asylum.

Well, you lied, buddy.

So just cut him loose...

... and put him back on the street.

All right.

Okay, so everything's fine.

No, no, no problem. No problem.

We just have to ask you a few more

questions, and then we can go.

No, no more questions.

Take me to the Green Zone.

Maybe we could help. We have

a few questions. Everything will be fine.

Trust me. Okay? It's okay. Sit down.

[SPEAKING IN ARABIC]

You're a liar. You're a liar. You f***ing d...

Get on the f***ing... Back the f*** up!

Step back!

I talk to you! I talk to you!

And that's all you want!

- You want to see who kills me, huh?

- Bassam. Search him. Get his phone.

Now you've seen our faces.

You know what that means.

Computer.

Guantanamo?

You threaten me with Guantanamo?

If you don't do exactly what I say...

...I will execute you right here.

Do you understand?

Listen, we are your friends, okay?

We're your friends.

We're here to watch you.

We're here to protect you.

You can't even protect yourselves.

BASSAM:
Boss?

FERRIS:
Yeah, I'm right here.

BASSAM:

I got a visual on him.

FERRIS:

Okay, where's he coming from?

He's riding up right now.

Coming right to us.

FERRIS [ON PHONE]:

Yes. I see him. I see him.

BASSAM:
He's coming down the street.

He's coming north towards the square.

- I'm gonna hang back.

- All right, I'll let you know what he's doing.

FERRIS:
Keep an eye on him for me.

BASSAM:
He stopped in front of the caf.

He's walking right up.

- Listen, Bassam?

- Yeah?

There is a black van heading this way

with some pretty dangerous-looking guys.

- They're staring right at him.

BASSAM:
Yeah, I see it.

FERRIS:
Tell me what it does.
