Tortured Page #4

Synopsis: Jimmy, a business-like young man, enters a room where a man, the accountant for a shadowy drug lord, is shackled. Over the next week, Jimmy systematically tortures the accountant, demanding information about missing funds. The accountant denies any knowledge. In flashbacks to six months before, we see Jimmy's joining a group of the drug lord's enforcers, surviving brutal hazing, getting his first assignment, and keeping his cool. We also learn that Jimmy has another identity, friends in high places, and a girlfriend unhappy about both his work and his changing personality. Can Jimmy hold on to his humanity as he carries out increasingly nightmarish orders?

So wouldn't it be a great story

if your son was the one that finally did?

You said you'd only do one foot at a time.

I lied.

I'm sure you're familiar with the technique.

You bastard. Bastard.

Mr. Green, in a day or so,

one of two things will happen.

Your wounds will get infected,

or your body will be unable

to clot all the wounds,

and you'll drip the blood until death.

Now you can dip your toes

into this bucket of salt, which will help.

It will also hurt like a b*tch.

Or I can stitch you up myself,

with anaesthetic,

for just a little piece of information.

I can...

I can give you a little piece of information.

I'm listening.

My daughter's name is Sheila,

and my wife's name is Gloria.

I love them so much.

They're all I have in the world.

I didn't steal Ziggy's money.

I would never do that.

But I'll pay it back.

I swear I will, if I have to work

the rest of the days of my life,

if you just let me go.

If you just let me go.

Ziggy wants his own money back,

Mr. Green.

He doesn't make

those types of deals anymore.

No!

No. No!

- Hey.

- No!

Kevin.

It's me. Baby. It's me. It's Becky.

You all right?

It was just a bad dream.

- You ever had therapy before?

- Never.

West Point, Honors.

Rangers in Afghanistan, Delta.

Saw your share of action?

You're looking at my file,

you know who I am.

- You ever have these nightmares over there?

- No. I was just happy to get some sleep.

Should I assume

you're Director Jack Cole's son?

You should.

- What's your relationship like with him?

- It is what it is.

How's your relationship with your mom?

She passed away a couple years ago,

right before I got back from active duty.

I'm sorry. The two of you close?

We're not here to talk about my family.

Fair enough.

Would you mind having a seat?

Well, listen.

It's clear you got a lot of weight

on your shoulders.

You're a very sharp guy.

We should be able to find

the source of these nightmares.

Why don't you just start by telling me

what's new in your life.

Who's listening,

and what kind of clearance do you have?

- You couldn't be in a safer place.

- Is that right?

Yeah, I was hired many years ago

by the Bureau

to talk specifically to the best agents

in the field about the job.

You can't imagine the clearance I have.

My nightmares are visions of

this undercover operation that I'm a part of.

And what is that?

Please.

- Kevin, help me.

- Kevin, help me.

And then you woke up screaming,

just because of that?

You weren't trained

to mercilessly torture people,

you were trained to be Captain America.

It's in your blood, for God's sakes.

- I see two options here.

- What's that?
