The Devil's Double Page #5

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.

He humiliate me.

Why not? Just say it.

Beg me. Beg me to f*** you.

- I can't.

- Come on.

- I...

- Yes?

- ...beg...

- ...beg...

...you... I can't.

- Go on.

- No.

- Beg me. Beg me.

- No.

Beg me! Beg me to f*** you.

Beg me to f*** you.

Beg me to f*** you.

Beg me to f*** you! Beg me!

- Beg! Beg! Beg!

- I beg...

Yassem! Yassem!

- Who's doing that?

- That pig, Kamel Hannah. He won't stop.

He says he doesn't take orders

from faggots.

Stop!

- F*** you.

- I order you to stop!

I don't take orders from you!

I take orders from Saddam Hussein.

Uday, Uday...

No! No!

Boss, come on. Let's go.

Just get her out of here, okay?

He took pills, sleeping pills.

Give me the knife.

You'll kill him.

The loss of blood and...

I should have gelded him at birth.

At 7:
00 tonight the armed forces

of the United States began an operation

at the direction of the President

to force Saddam Hussein

to withdraw his troops from Kuwait

and to end his occupation of their country.

That's the latest Tomahawk cruise missile

to fly just over our position here.

Anti-aircraft gunners all around

have been trying to shoot them down.

I have said to the people of Iraq

that our quarrel was not with them,

but instead with their leadership

and above all with Saddam Hussein.

Kuwait has been stealing our oil.

Millions of dollars a year.

Millions of dollars. Millions of dollars.

Kuwait has been stealing our oil.

Millions of dollars a year.

From the oilfields.

From our oilfields at Rumaila.

Kuwait.

Kuwait, Kuwait.

Kuwait has stolen our Iraqi oil!

Millions of dollars a year

from our oilfields at Rumaila.

Our country is losing

more than a billion dollars a year!

Take the glasses off.

What are you doing here?

- How did you get in?

- Do you want me to go?

Why are you wearing Ray-Bans

at 1 :
00 in the morning?

Take them off.

- I want to be sure it's you.

- Are you sure?

I can always tell.

You cannot stay here.

Have you seen what's going on outside?

Hear what Saddam said on television?

"The mother of all battles."

Iraqi people are not stupid.

Nobody believes that crap.

Iraq is going to burn to the ground.

We won't see that on TV.

And Uday? Is he reporting for duty?

No. Uday has gone to bed

with a splitting headache

because Yassem Al-Helou forgot

to press his tweed hunting breeches.

He's a child. He'll tire of you.

He tires of everything.

One day soon, he'll tire of me

and I'll end up

at the bottom of the lake with the fish.

Today he's infatuated with you.

He's quite dazzled.

He thinks he made you up,

just like that, out of the dust.

Tomorrow he snaps his fingers

and you vanish.

But you can leave, Sarrab.

If I run away, he'll find me.
