Unthinkable Page #3

Synopsis: A convert to Islam sends the U.S. government a tape showing him in three nondescript storage rooms, each of which may contain a nuclear bomb set to detonate in less than a week. Helen Brody, an FBI agent in L.A., is tasked with finding the bombs while a CIA "consultant," known as H, interrogates the suspect who has allowed himself to be caught. The suspect, whose wife and children have left him and disappeared, seems to know exactly what the interrogation will entail. Even as H ratchets up the pressure, using torture over Brody's objection, the suspect doesn't crack. Should H do the unthinkable, and will Brody acquiesce? Is any Constitutional principle worth possible loss of life?

You have a file on me?

Henry Harold Humphries.

Is that your real name?

- What do you think?

- You've been read your rights?

- My guy's coming.

- No one knows you're here.

Did you send these a**holes to my house?

Are you responsible for that?

Do you have a first name you can give me?

A real one?

Okay, okay, let's play the game.

You can call me H.

What's your first name, Agent Brody?

You kidnapped and detained

two federal agents.

- You admit to that, right?

- They came to my house.

My children were there.

I could've killed them.

So you think you're above the law, is that it?

Do you recognize this man?

Yeah. He's on TV, right?

Helen, I'm sorry, this interview is terminated.

I depend on you. Come on!

It's a screw-up.

Your name is on some list CIA sent the FBI.

No one told me.

I can't believe you let this happen.

You sent us his file. Don't blame FBI.

Really? Did you check the leads

against the DIA priority list

with the little red tags saying

"Do Not Touch"?

Wait, he's under protection?

This is my life.

How could you screw this up?

He's a target. He thought your guys

were killers. Sorry about that.

Thanks for your heartfelt f***ing apology.

Who are you?

Probably best not to ask.

Jack, what's going on?

Can I talk to you for a second?

I can't give you all the details right now,

but we're being moved

to a centralized command facility.

You gonna help me with this one, okay?

Okay, of course.

But where is this facility?

It's classified.

What the hell is this place?

- Agent Brody? All right, follow me, please.

- Yep?

At this point,

I need to take all of your firearms.

- You're not taking my gun.

- Ma'am, I'm sorry. The rules...

- It's okay, son, let her keep it.

- Yes, sir.

I'm General Paulson,

I'm leading the operation here.

- You're Brody?

- Yes.

I know you haven't been briefed on this,

but you guys will be assisting us

with investigative duties

under my command here.

So I'll show you to your offices and...

No disrespect, sir, but outside martial law,

the military has no jurisdiction

on home soil.

Well, there's the Defense Authorization Act.

The President has the authority

to use the armed forces

to suppress any insurrection,

unlawful combination or conspiracy.

This all went through Congress in '07.

Agent Helen! Good to see you again.

- General, nice to see you.

- Charlie. You all know each other?

Yeah, we met earlier. A little mix-up.

What are you doing here?

Who are you guys?

- Independent contractors?

- What agency?

Oh, no agency would claim us.

Right, General?

Okay, everyone.

If you could follow me, please.

Right in here, please.

Where are the rest of my people?
