The Assignment Page #5

A couple of beers. Tomatoes.

I don't know what else.

What kind of milk? Was it opened

or closed? What kind of cheese?

How many beers and tomatoes?

This is life and death.

The cupboard over the stove.

You've got four seconds.

Look this time.

Go.

Time.

- Name and place of birth?

- Illich Ramirez Sanchez.

- Caracas, Venezuela.

- Father?

Dr. Jos Altagracia Ramirez Sanchez.

- Must you smoke that cigar?

- Yes.

Carlos' father abandoned his family

because he wanted to be a playboy.

Your father abandoned you

when he was sent to jail.

Either way,

it's lonely boy missing his father.

Use your own experiences to create

an image of Carlos' father.

So when you talk about him

you have the same emotion.

The same love.

The same resentment.

The same sadness.

The same anger.

So who told you to stop?

- What's that?

- A transmitter.

- For what?

- Target practice. You're the target.

Jos! Bouvier!

Smith!

You're dead.

- You've finished all your porridge.

- I've finished all my porridge.

Good.

You can have some more.

- I ain't eating any more sh*t.

- Whatever is the matter?

I'll tell you what the matter is.

I've been here eight f***ing weeks!

All I've had to eat the whole time

is this sh*t.

I'm losing weight.

I'm shitting 3-4 times a day.

You nearly killed me

with those snowmobiles.

It's Christmas Eve, and I haven't

seen my family in two months.

And I still don't know what I'm

supposed to be learning here.

- You're acting like a spoiled brat.

- Which is going to save your life.

Acting like a tight-ass Navy brass

is exactly what will get you killed.

As a child, Carlos was fed porridge.

He hated it.

Everyone he's ever been close to

he told about that porridge.

In school he was a scrawny kid.

He felt clumsy.

- We made you feel clumsy.

- Carlos' father smoked cigars.

The cover that will save your life

is one you believe in yourself.

Ready for the next test?

Your wife has told you she was away

from the house for a week.

Now you come home together.

Walk through the house. Don't arouse

her suspicion. You have 30 seconds.

Find out if she's lying. Then we'll

answer some of your questions.

- Time's up.

- Is she telling the truth?

- She had a man over.

- How do you know?

She hasn't been here for a week?

The sponge is still wet.

There's water under the dish rack.

The milk is fresh.

From the date on it,

it was probably bought yesterday.

- Same with the margarine and bread.

- How do you know it was a man?

She might have met him at a bar.

A book of matches was thrown out.

- There was ash from a cigarette.

- What else?

I think they made love on the sofa.

The cushions were hastily turned.
