The Devil's Double Page #3

Synopsis: Baghdad, the playground for the rich and infamous, where anything can be bought - but for a price. This is Uday Hussein's world and with his depraved lust for debauchery and immorality, he helps himself to whatever turns him on. When army lieutenant Latif Yahia is summoned to Saddam's palace, he is faced with an impossible request - to be Uday's 'fiday' - his body double, or have his family condemned to death. In a world entrenched in betrayal and corruption, knowing who to trust becomes a matter of life or death for Latif, as he battles to escape from his forced existence.

If we have chaos, we have disorder.

You do understand, Latif? It is quite simple.

We must have discipline.

Got it?

Got it?

Good.

Latif. Five minutes.

Latif.

- No, no, no!

- We must have discipline!

Discipline! We must have discipline!

How was that, Munem?

Excellent.

Sorry.

Good.

Empty your pockets.

My grandfather,

he talks to me the same way he did

when I was 10 years old.

God is great.

He gave me two sons.

Now I have three.

Make sure you give me no reason

to be angry with you.

And?

Uday, you owe me 50 dinar.

50 dinar?

You see?

Trying to get money from your brother

is like trying to get blood from a stone.

What?

It's not him.

What?

It's your turn, brother.

F*** them. F***ing Kuwaitis.

I hate them all.

Worse than horseflies.

My brothers, welcome to Baghdad.

F***!

F***! F***, f***, f***!

F***ing Kuwaitis!

I f***ing hate Jews, I hate horseflies

and I hate f***ing Persians,

but I hate f***ing Kuwaitis more!

They insult us.

They are filth. They maul our women.

The Kuwaitis have been

stealing $280 million a year

from the oilfields at Rumaila.

$280 million a year!

You know we traced the weapon.

I just know the f***ing Kuwaitis

are behind this!

I hope my father wipes them out.

No, I'm telling you this.

I don't care who knows it!

The age of the sheikhs is over. Over!

- What?

- It's me, habibi.

What are you doing right now?

I'm getting my nails done. Nice and sharp.

The better to scratch you with.

Did I ever tell you

how much I love your ass?

It's the best ass in Baghdad.

I'll see you soon.

Hey, you, you!

You'll meet many women.

Whores, wealthy women from Al Mansour

who come looking for a favor

and offer you favors in return.

Schoolgirls he snatches off the street.

- You'll be given your fair share.

- Ready, guys?

Never even speak to a woman

Uday has chosen for himself.

He is insane.

You know it, Munem.

He's insane.

You turn a blind eye. You have no choice.

I understand that.

You are a good man in a bad job.

Look at him.

He's psychotic.

Come on, kiss. Kiss more. More. Kiss, kiss.

Who wants to sleep with me tonight? You?

Through the window

of a British worker's flat,

the Battle of Kuwait unfolds.

Saddam Hussein, very simply,

you cannot bully your neighbor.

You cannot wipe him out,

a member of the Arab League,

a member of the United Nations.

Saddam H ussein!

The hero of the Battle of Qadisiyyah.

The knight of the Arab nations.

Direct descendant of the prophet.

Saddam the noble fighter.

Scion of the family of Imam al-Hussein.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Uday Saddam Hussein.

The age of the sheikhs is over!

With the help of Almighty God,
