CIA Interrogator
- CIA Interrogator: Well, haven't you heard? Torture doesn't work.
- Eliot Spencer: Depends on the torture. Depends on the man. When do we start?
- CIA Interrogator: We started as soon as you walked into this room. Where have you been?
- [leans over the table into Eliot's face]
- CIA Interrogator: Don't you eyeball me, leech. I don't want you in my room any more than you want to be here. So why don't you do us both a favor and tell me the word? 'Cause if you make me work for this, I'm not gonna send you home with your tail between your legs. I'm gonna cut the damn thing off!
- [pounds on table]
- CIA Interrogator: I'm gonna break you into pieces!
- Eliot Spencer: So we start tomorrow, then?
- CIA Interrogator: [smugly] You ever count them?
- Eliot Spencer: Counted what?
- CIA Interrogator: You know - the people you killed?
- [pause]
- CIA Interrogator: Gimme a ballpark - it's gotta be a big number, right?
- Eliot Spencer: You think asking me about my past is going to open up old wounds? Maybe put me off balance a little? Make me easier to break?
- CIA Interrogator: [placatingly] I'm just trying to get to know you better.
- [sits back and looks at Spencer perceptively]
- CIA Interrogator: Why does that question make you so nervous? Is that all this is for you? Are you trying to punish yourself for the things you've done?
- [pause]
- CIA Interrogator: I think that's it. I think the reason you won't give me your word and walk out that door is because you think you deserve to be here.
- Eliot Spencer: [slowly, quietly and with more than a hint of menace] What do you want to know? Names? Dates? Locations? Wanna know what food was on their breath? Their eyes - what color their eyes were? You wanna know the last words they spoke? You wanna know which ones deserved it? Or better yet - the ones that didn't? You wanna know which ones begged? Do you know why I remember these things?
- CIA Interrogator: [has become increasingly unsettled as Spencer's speech progresses; mumbles] I Dunno.
- Eliot Spencer: You don't know? 'Cause I can't forget. So there's nothing you can do - no punishment you can hand out - that's worse than what I live with every day. So to answer your question: no. No, I haven't counted. I don't need to.
- CIA Interrogator: [stammers] I-we... we're done for the day.
