All language subtitles for Strip Search (1997)

[Music]

Big Bang States military has begun

stressed cases of answer five conditions

that recent focus is ringing out to

justice of American citizens let's say

theoretically that the government of the

United States could rid the world of

terrorism forever but only if for a

single day you gave up all of your

rights as American citizens 24 hours

with no rights what do you say would you

do it okay the government says it could

rid the world of terrorism forever if

you give up all of your rights for a

week would you do it would you do it

come on a week a week all right

among a year a year just a year 10 years

10 years

a lifetime

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

are you uncomfortable I'll bet you are

uncomfortable do you promise to behave

it's better

I'm a public servant I'm here to serve

why am I here were you hurt when the

officers arrested you arrested I told

him to be respectful why have I been

arrested I haven't done anything wrong

the filthy habit unhealthy listen I know

that I'm a foreigner and as such I may

not be aware of all the laws that you

people have but I swear I can't imagine

what crime I've committed how long have

you been in this country a year maybe a

little more I can see how that may not

be enough time to learn our laws not all

of them no basics you know the ones that

are common everywhere against murder and

stealing perhaps I misspoke

you were not arrested you've simply

being brought in for questioning an

interrogation an interview because I'm a

suspect a subject of an inquiry an

investigation into crimes some of which

may not as yet have been committed do

you think I make a Medic rhyme anyone is

capable giving the proper circumstance

my own mother was arrested for

shoplifting she's she's old lady

I have no criminal record you know prior

arrests either here or at home

I'd like to see a lawyer contact my

embassy

why because not knowing the local laws

I'm afraid that you will indict yourself

no I don't know my rights you haven't

read me my rights that's because you are

not charged with anything then I can go

no no I can be held without being

charged yes for how long 48 hours 7 days

6 months however long it takes takes for

what you to tell me what I need you mean

confess confess to a crime that may or

may not have been committed that I may

have committed not knowing it was a

crime or that may not even be a crime

yet

[Music]

the photograph doesn't do you justice

you're much more handsome or maybe the

word is pretty luck certainly been to

plenty of places Russia Cyprus Venezuela

he's Rael you're not Jewish Indonesia

now there's a hotbed of terrorism what

were you doing there none of your

business

sit down please

hot in here yes that that time of year

sometimes the best thing to do is to

just sweat

easy man I'll break you up down stay

down stay down head down come on

my government has started fingerprinting

foreigners from certain countries but I

don't think that's enough I think the

best solution maybe the best solution is

to put ankle bracelets monitoring

devices on specific visitors not you in

order to keep an eye on their movements

that way we know where they go who they

associate with what they're up to anyway

that's what I think but Who am I just a

lowly cog in a rusty wheel ignored

unappreciated underpaid can you identify

this man No who is he

I don't know I was hoping you could tell

me we think he might be a natural-born

citizen but we're not sure

see that's the problem with my concept

about the Inca bracelets one does not

have to be a foreigner to be disloyal

disloyal what do you consider disloyal

speaking negatively about our government

criticizing our leaders that's dissent

there's a difference between disloyalty

and dissent I'm sure in your mind that's

true

[Music]

are you uncomfortable I bet you're

uncomfortable you promised to behave

how's that better I'm a public servant

I'm here to serve

why am I here were you hurt when the

officers arrested you but I still could

I told them to be respectful why have I

been arrested I I haven't done anything

wrong that's a filthy habit fun healthy

listen I know that I'm a foreigner and

as such I may not be aware of all the

loss you people have but I swear I can't

imagine what crime I've committed how

long have you been in this country oh

yeah maybe a little more I can see why

that may not be enough time to learn our

laws well not all of them know the

basics the ones that are common

everywhere you know against murder or

still perhaps I misspoke you were not

arrested you've simply been brought in

for questioning unintelligent an

interview because I'm a suspect subject

of an inquiry an investigation into

crime some of which may not as yet have

been committed oh you think I make

commit a crime anyone's capable given

the proper circumstances my own mother

was arrested for shoplifting she's an

old lady

I have no criminal record no prior

arrests or convictions either here or at

home good I would like to see a lawyer

contact my embassy

why because not knowing the local laws I

am afraid you will indict yourself

words pretty into so many places Russia

Cyprus Venezuela Israel you're not

Jewish Indonesia now there's a hotbed of

terrorism what were you doing there it's

none of your sit down please

it's hot in here hmm yes it's that time

of year sometimes the best thing to do

is to just sweat my government has

started fingerprinting foreigners from

certain countries but I'm not sure

that's enough maybe the best solution

would be to put ankle bracelets you know

monitoring devices on specific visitors

I mean not you in order to keep an eye

on their movements that way we'll know

where they go who they associate with

what they're up to anyway that's what I

rusty wheel ignored unappreciated

underpaid

can you identify this man no who's he

I don't know I was hoping you could tell

me we think he might be a natural-born

citizen but we're not sure you see

that's the problem with my concept about

the ankle bracelets one does not have to

be a foreigner to be disloyal disloyal

what do you consider this royal speaking

negatively about our government

criticizing our leaders well that's

dissent there is a difference between

disloyalty and dissent I'm sure in your

mind that's true you claim to be a

student I'm still you seem a little well

you left behind as a child no I'm doing

graduate work I'm officially registered

papers proper documents there they're

back at my apartment I could go get them

or you could send someone to go get them

what do you study what's your major

political science that's funny in my

experience politics has no science

it isn't exact you know I don't mean to

editorialize are you a good student are

you a good student yes a B in Marxism

well if you'll have the information in

the file

why do you keep asking me fair enough I

see that you studied the teachings of

Mohammed Buddha and Jesus Adam Smith

chairman male but what the file doesn't

tell me

is what you believe in hmm

what ideology theology you follow do you

believe that your religion is the only

true religion that God is on your side

that all other faiths are false that

those who follow errant faiths are

doomed to eternal damnation that the

rest of us should either be converted or

destroyed there are extremists fanatics

but not you oh so then I repeat my

question what do you believe in if not

the absolute power of an absolute god

what the individual the ability of the

human mind the ability of the mind to to

make a choice the ability of the mind to

make a choice democracy pure democracy

yes but they certainly don't have pure

democracy in your country do they

may I have a glass of water of course

democracy mean different things to

different people as does freedom peace

tolerance justice and if you look at

history any country's history in order

to achieve these ideals there must first

be a revolution uprising Lenin

ben-gurion Mandela George Washington he

crossed the Delaware at midnight a sneak

attack on Christmas Eve

by today's standard I guess he'd be

considered a terrorist so you can see

why I understand your action which

actions what exactly am i accused of you

identify this man no no may I call my

family house a poster for my mother

about now you know she'll worry your

mother knows exactly where you are three

both oh well shortly we live in a new

age if you will where law enforcement

agencies all over the planet are

coordinating their efforts exchanging

information about me I'm nobody

you're wrong

24 hours yes

I understand how out mean by

is this your handwriting you broke into

my room rifled through my belongings and

stole my papers we had a warrant granted

by some very patriotic judge I'm sure is

this your handwriting yes

so you wrote this yes the tree of

liberty must be refreshed from time to

time with the blood of patriots and

tyrants that's a quote from Thomas

Jefferson it's for my thesis you say

it's a thesis I say this document

advocates of treason it's solely what's

on a piece of paper know as well as I

that words are as dangerous as any bomb

words in the wrong hands can be misused

what's the same even the devil can quote

the Bible all I was trying to say is

that every single one of us has a

mandate to do what's right

ah to do what's right and what is right

each person must decide that for him or

herself is that treason perhaps all I

was trying to say is that every single

one of us has a mandate total what is

right ah to do what's right and what is

right each person must decide that for

him or herself is that freedom perhaps

from October 7 to November 10th you

exchanged sixteen phone calls with

someone will call X if you tap my phone

X has made numerous inflammatory in Thai

government statements including a threat

to blow up several buildings in this

area the bridges the irizar voir people

in anger say stupid things people who

think that their conversations are

private who are talking to friends so X

is your friend I don't know we may be

talking about two different things

I November 10th you attended a meeting I

went to a dinner at the center you

talked about politics people expressed

opinions that's usually what happens

when people talk politics you know I

have to tell you I think it's funny that

you suspect our little group of some

deep dark conspiracy we get together

after class and Bowl around and

ranked mostly we drink and you guys have

been monitoring us we don't need a

reason to run or a group or club we

don't need to SPECT anyone of anything

in order to follow them there what else

have you done got on our bank records

emails long-distance bills yes

we must be really disappointed going to

all that effort monitoring us on the

contrary I work for fruit we have a

witness who says that you were

criticizing certain policies advocating

violence to me this witness and let him

step forward and accuse me face to face

the witness is a she the witness is a

she and we don't handle things that way

if you won't let me talk to a lawyer if

you won't let me confront this so-called

witness how can I defend myself simple

by speaking the truth I have told the

truth no you haven't you lying I'm not

you're a liar

you really believe this girl is part of

a terrorist cell we believe that she has

associated with certain individuals who

are potential terrorists whether she

herself is a terrorist who knows look

getting a lot of heat from the

Ambassador from home I've got to tell

them something

when can I say should be released

depending on how cooperative she is will

either start deportation proceedings by

the end of the week or put her to trial

oh and she reassurance that she'll have

access to a lawyer no problem we found

lawyer client meetings to be very

informative that there's a Ledge the

size should go before tribunal then all

bets are off no lawyer no Julie general

right lieutenant do you know mr. Hudson

yes he wants an estimate as to when you

will have finished with Sykes by noon

are you causing her any physical harm

you Americans want our government to

help you feed you information but you

get nervous with our methods do I look

nervous I just don't want to be

surprised by any bruises don't worry

did you bring the file

this is everything we could get on such

short notice

thank you back to work well welcome to

wait for what I don't even know she's

here you really believe this boy is part

of a terrorist cell there's been an

increase in chatter the past few weeks

our intelligence tells us something

major is about to happen we believe sir

Raph can lead us to the perpetrators

whether he himself is a terrorist who

knows look I'm getting a lot of heat

from the Ambassador from home I have to

tell them something

when can I say he'll be released on

Japan and how cooperative he is will

either start deportation proceedings by

the end of the week or put them on trial

I want your assurance he'll have access

to a lawyer no problem we found a lawyer

client meetings to be very informative

that is unless this decided he'll go

before a tribunal then all bets are off

no lawyer no jury may I see him that

isn't advisable at this time did you

bring the file this is everything we

could get on such short notice

thank you back to work you're welcome to

wait for what I don't even know that

he's here

take off your clothes

what your clothes take them off

why because I'm going to do a strip

search full cavity but why because it's

what we do it's part of the procedure I

thought this was done by people of the

same sex well usually they are business

there are occasional exceptions like

this take off your clothes take off your

clothes what your clothes take them off

why because I'm going to do a strip

search Strava t but why because that's

what we do is part of the procedure

I thought searches were done by people

of the same sex usually that's true but

there are occasional exception like this

take off your clothes what if I say no

say no well I don't want to look at the

situation for my side I can't take the

chance of releasing the wrong person I

cannot give you the benefit of the doubt

I can't give you the benefit of the dye

demand to see somebody from my embassy

why why not cooperate have you got

something to hide now if they're part of

your body that you embarrassed about

something smaller than it ought to be

there we go thank you for the

cooperation do you have something to

hide no is there a part of your body or

embarrassed about something smaller than

it ought to be

here we go thank you for your

cooperation you'll work out you have a

good solid body so I figure maybe you go

to the gym

afford to lose a few pounds of course

but you're not even close to fat

mmm

do not mean fat you are not fat we can

all afford to lose a few pounds of

course but you're not even close to fat

did you know that the al Qaeda and their

training manual suggests that martyrs

for Allah shave off all of their body

hair before they die

why for what purpose I ask you why I

don't know anything about Al Qaeda not

saying that you did open your mouth

mouth wide aah

like at the dentist I mean you you do go

to the dentist don't you wider come on

help me out my mouth doesn't go any

wider open like during oral sex

you know they call this a cavity search

cavity meaning every orifice in the body

but you'd be surprised the number of

times I actually find the cavity is

always teeth but not you

yours are tip-top condition yeah that

wasn't so bad was it

never been married you like girls yes so

if I touch you down there

what do you think your reaction will be

don't don't don't

me yes so if I taught you down there or

what do you think your reaction will be

don't oh

don't did you say don't please don't

oh that was sweet

what's the word plaintive that's what

happens to people who end up in here

outside these walls they're tough

they've got an attitude but once that

door shuts they crumble they turn into

little girls that's what you remind me

of now I'm frightened

stop that's sensitive area for you I

don't like being touched being touched

there or anyways careful you don't want

to hit me that's what you remind me of

right now a frightened little girl don't

don't stop such a sensitive area but

don't like people touching me touching

you there or anywhere careful you don't

want to hit me that consequences would

be done ah ah

tell me about your girlfriend I didn't

say I had a girlfriend there are

references to her in your emails

there any part of my life you haven't

picked through was she the great love of

your life why'd she leave there is

nothing in my emails about her leaving

how'd you know she left

I can see the pain in your eyes but you

walk out on you I don't know why does

anybody walk out

look familiar

that's her

yes

gorgeous

by the way she's a witness she's going

to testify against you no she wouldn't

she wouldn't do that

so why did she walk out on you I don't

know why does anybody walk out look

familiar

that's her yes gorgeous by the way

she's our witness she's gonna testify

against you

no she wouldn't she wouldn't do that

we found these photos in your apartment

airports bridges a tunnel damn I'm a

tourist I photograph things if you

looked you also saw mountains sunsets

children playing a week ago you rented a

car I know I just signed the forums for

a friend we found trace elements of TNT

in the trunk of that car

what granted there were only molecules

but why was there

TNT in the trunk of the car you rent I

told you I didn't rent the car for

myself a friend asked me as a favor

which friend what's the name I'm not

gonna tell you I'm not guilty of

anything and neither is he you harbored

a terrorist oh you financed a terrorist

oh you aided and abetted so would you

still say that if you were attached to a

lie detector yes I could bring a

polygraph in right now you'd answer

every question yes what if I gave you

truth serum to inject you with truth

serum go ahead we believe your friend X

is involved in terrorist activities

you're wrong why would you protect him

why would any decent person protect

someone who's planning the deaths of

innocent people who's my aunt you might

call old-school

to stop crime you've threatened

criminals with physical punishment

imprisonment death but these suicide

bombers and such they've already chosen

to die they're not afraid of prosecution

so we have to stop them before they act

we have to keep them alive that's their

punishment make the bastards wish they

were dead humiliate them or make them

aware that if they die in here alone

that their deaths will have no meaning

no resonance no effect on anyone

whatsoever

turn around put your hands on the wall

palm flat

spread your legs turn around put your

hands against the wall palms flat spread

your legs

I have to tell you this is my least

favorite part I took the test

went through the Academy for what I

thought I'd be out in the field doing

good saving lives instead I spend my

days with my hand at other people's

asses might as well have gone to medical

school become a gynecologist or what's

the word for a colon specialist stop

talking and just do it what I didn't

hear you you heard me I know I hear up

to I'm not an idiot so do whatever you

want I'm gonna stare at this wall I'm

gonna focus on this wall memorize this

wall I will own this wall what you

should be focusing on is the children

orphaned children traumatized children

you see unlike you I have a child a boy

I wanted to live in a world that's safe

where he feels safe I want him to live

in a world as safe where he feels safe

doing this what kind of role model are

you what kind of legacy are you handing

down to him safe but not free alive but

not human

it is not my fault

that we don't live in a perfect world

it's not my fault that we don't live in

a perfect world

we're going to do this every day all day

until it becomes as natural as breathing

you will come to need it like air and

the best part is I didn't have to touch

you

so let me ask you again do you know

these men

okay that's it

someone else will be in to talk to you

you

we're going to do this every day all day

until it becomes as natural as breathing

yes you will come to need it like air

the best part is I didn't have to touch

you so let me ask you again do you know

these men do you

okay

that's it someone else will begin to

talk to you

ha ha ha

sorry about woman talking about

let's say theoretically that the

government of the United States could

rid the world of terrorism forever but

only if for a single day you gave up all

your rights as an American citizen would

you do it

would you give up your rights for a week

month

you

a year ten years forever
