[# Lyle Lovett:
If I Had a Boat]

# If I were Roy Rogers

I'd sure enough be single...

# It'd just be me and Trigger

We'd go riding through them movies #

They're ready for you.

I'll be right there.

- I'll be right there.

- OK.

Ms Broome.

- Can I get you anything?

- How about a hood?

- I want to split that.

- When do I know the results?

Right away.

You know when you're lying, don't you?

Look straight ahead, feet flat on the floor.

Is your name Silvia Broome?

Miss Broome?

I found out something from our domestic Intel.

All this may have begun with a tragic accident.

- What do you mean?

- Her parents farmed in the mountains.

This area became infested

with rebels in the '80s

and Dr Zuwanie was forced to mine the roads.

Her parents were bringing her younger sister

back from school and hit a mine.

- And they were killed?

- All of them.

- How old was she?

- 12, 13.

Something like that, even years later,

could incite all kinds of ideas.

She has every reason

to want Dr Zuwanie tried at the ICC.

I'll be right back.

- Oh, no. Come on.

- OK, the control questions show stress,

and the key questions show stress

as well as the baseline questions.

We should just read her palm.

- How did I do?

- Je ne sais pas.

Nils Lud. Dr Zuwanie's head of security.

I thought since you were in a

question-answering mood, I might ask a few.

Might I ask where you stand now

politically, Miss Broome?

I'm for peace and quiet, Mr. Lud.

It's why I came to the UN. Quiet diplomacy.

With respect, you only interpret.

Countries have gone to war

after misinterpreting one another.

I would say she's clearly under stress,

but not necessarily lying.

Congratulations.

- I'm told what you heard was a whisper.

- Yes.

Is it possible you could identify it

if you ever heard it again?

It might be.

Tell me, do you have a brother?

I hope it's all right. I took this opportunity

to ask Miss Broome a few questions.

You're free to go.

Agent Scott will drive you back to the UN.

Would you drive Ms Broome

back to the UN, please? Thank you.

- Does this mean the test was...?

- The test was inconclusive.

But I'd rather make the mistake

of believing her than the bigger one of not.

Next time you want to question an

American citizen here, you ask permission.

- Silvia.

- Don't worry, I'm not leaving any...

Did you do something naughty?

A couple of FBIs were asking me about you.

If you often work later than everybody,

or bring things in after hours. Like that.

- What'd you tell them?

- I said, from a sound engineer's point of view,

you're perfect.

I need somebody on the guy with two names.

- Mo.

- It's one name twice. Kuman-Kuman.
