Confronting Racism and Identity in Mississippi

Pappy McAllan I don't know what they let you do over there, but you're in Mississippi now, nigger. You use the back door.

Henry McAllan Go on, son. Son, we don't want no trouble here. Go on. Go on.

Ronsel Jackson You know what? You're absolutely right. When we was overseas they didn't make us use the back door. ] put us on the front line. Yes, sir. You know what we did? We kicked the hell out of ] and them Jerries! While y'all at home, safe and sound...

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Conflict Over Understanding Between Humans and Apes

Dreyfus Are you out of your fucking mind?

Malcolm No, I've seen things. I've seen the way they are. They want what we want, to survive. They don't want a war.

Dreyfus THEY'RE ANIMALS! THEY ATTACKED US!

Malcolm Because they thought we attacked them. They think that he's dead, but he's not. SIT DOWN, FINNEY! SIT DOWN!

Confrontation and Power Dynamics in Interrogation

Dan Right now, this is about you coming to terms with your situation. It's you and me, bro. I want you to understand that I know you, that I've been studying you for a very long time. I could have had you killed in Karachi. But I let you live so you can I could talk.

Ammar You beat me when my hands are tied. I won't talk to you.

Dan Life isn't always fair, my friend. Did you really think that when we got you, I'd be a nice fucking guy?

Ammar You're a mid-level guy. You're a garbage man in a corporation. Why should I respect you?

Dan And you're a money man. A paperboy! A disgrace to humanity! You and your uncle murdered three thousand innocent people. I have your name on a five-thousand dollar transfer via Western Union to a 9/11 hijacker; and you got popped with 150 kilograms of high explosives in your house! And then you DARE question me?!

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

The Strength of the Apes' Survival

Foster You know the scary thing about them? They don't need power. Lights. Heat. Nothing. That's their advantage. That's what makes them strong.

Carver Malcolm, I'm thinking one of us should stand guard tonight.

Malcolm With what? They took our guns. If they wanted us dead, we would be dead already.

Carver Maybe they're just taking their time. They killed off half the planet already.

Ellie Come on.

Carver What?

Ellie You can't honestly blame the apes.

Carver Who the hell else am I going to blame? It was the simian flu.

Ellie It was a virus created by scientists in a lab. The chimps they were testing on didn't have a say in the matter.

Carver Spare me the hippie-dippie bullshit. You're telling me you don't get sick to your stomach at the sight of them? Didn't you have a little girl?

Malcolm Carver, that's enough.

Carver How did she die?

Malcolm That's enough!

Carver Or your wife, for that matter.

Foster Carver, you better shut up... Before I kick your ass.

Carver Okay. I'm the asshole.

Legacy of Land and Ownership

Henry McAllan My great-great-granddaddy and his slaves built the farm that I grew up on. One time my granddaddy told me to go out, grab a handful of dirt from the yard and bring it in. He said, "What are you holdin', son?" And I said, "Dirt." "That's right. Now give it to me." So I did, and he says, "Now what's this I've got in my hand?" "Dirt," I says. "No, boy, this is land that I've gotten. Do you know why? Because I own it. Because it's mine. And one day, it'll be yours.

The Uncertainty of Abu Ahmed's Identity

Joseph Bradley Well, that's good. You still don't...

Maya Yeah, we don't know if Abu is on the outside of the network — part of a series of cutouts and dead drops — or if he has a direct connection to bin Laden. Does bin Laden invite him into the living room and hand him a letter directly? Or is Abu just the last guy in a long line of couriers, so that's why everybody knows him?

[cutting him off]

Joseph Bradley That's not all you don't know. You don't have his true name, and you don't have a clue where he is.

Maya We know that he's important. The fact that everybody's heard of Abu Ahmed but nobody will tell me where he is suggests that.

Joseph Bradley Maybe. Detainees could withhold his location for any number of reasons. Perhaps they don't know; perhaps this Abu is just a cover story and he's really a fucking unicorn. The withholding doesn't reveal what you want it to, does it?

Maya No.

Joseph Bradley And if you did find him, you don't know that he'd be with bin Laden.

Dan We don't know what we don't know.

Joseph Bradley What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Dan It's a ].

Interrogation Insights and Unexpected Connections

Maya After we kept you awake for 96 hours, you gave us names of some of your brothers and saved the lives of a lot of innocent people.

Dan Which is the smart thing to do, you're starting to think for yourself. Eat up! You earned it!

Dan So you flew via Amman to Kabul to hang out with your uncle? Mukhtar.

Amar How did you know that?

Dan I told you man, I know you. Alright, you got me - flight manifests. It must've been pretty fucked up for you guys after 9/11. What did you do after the invasion and before you went back to ]?

[[w:Peshawar|Pesh]

Ammar After 9/11 we had to choose: fight, to protect our turf - or run.

Dan You chose to fight.

Ammar I wanted to kill Americans. We tried to get into Tora Bora, but the bombing was too high. We couldn't cross.

Maya Sorry, who is the "we" in that sentence?

Dan I can go eat with some other dude and hang you back up to the ceiling.

Maya Who's Abu Ahmed? I've heard of the other guys.

Ammar He was a computer guy with us at the time. After Tora Bora, I went back to Pesh - as you know - and he went North, I think, to Kunar.

Maya What's his family name?

Ammar Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti

Maya Abu Ahmed means father of Ahmed," it's a kunya. Ammar, I know the difference between a war name and an Arabic name.

Dan She got you there, dude.

Ammar I swear to you both: I don't know his family name. I would have never asked him something like that. It's not how my uncle worked. My uncle told me he worked for bin Laden. I did see him, once, about a year ago, in Karachi. He read us all a letter from the Sheikh.

Maya A letter?

Dan What did it say?

Ammar It said: "Continue the jihad. The work will go on for a hundred years.

Assessing Certainty in Intelligence Operations

CIA Director I'm about to go look the President in the eye, and what I'd like to know, no fucking bullshit, is where everyone stands on this thing. Now, very simply, is he there, or is he not fucking there?

Deputy Director We all come at this through the filter of our own past experiences. I remember "Iraq WMD" very clearly, I fronted that, and I can tell you the case for that was much stronger than this case.

CIA Director A fuckin yes or a no.

Deputy Director We don't deal in certainty, we deal in probability. I'd say there's a sixty percent probability he's there.

The Wolf I concur. Sixty percent.

George I'm at eighty percent. Their ] is what convinces me.

[[w:Operations security|OPSEC]

CIA Director You guys ever agree on anything?

Dan Well, I agree with sixty, we're basing this mostly on detainee reporting and I spent a bunch of time in those rooms. Who knows? I'd say it's a soft sixty, sir. I'm virtually certain there's some high value target there, I'm just not sure it's bin Laden.

CIA Director This is a cluster-fuck, isn't it?

Jeremy I'd like to know what Maya thinks...

Deputy Director We're all incorporating her assessment into ours...

Maya A hundred percent he's there. Okay, fine, ninety-five percent because I know how certainty freaks you guys out, but it's a hundred.

Dreyfus That is not possible.

Malcolm I'm telling you, Dreyfus, they did and it was incredible.

Carver Incredible? They're talking apes! With big-ass Spears!

Dreyfus Please! I don't know exactly what you think you saw or heard... But you have to calm down, okay? What about the virus, Ellie? Any chance of contagion?

Ellie We're all genetically immune or we would've been dead a long time ago.

Malcolm She worked with the CDC. She knows.

Ellie What are we gonna do?

Dreyfus I don't know. We need that power.

Malcom He could've killed us, but he didn't.

Carver Maybe he kept us alive, so they could follow us. They find out where we are, and they kill us all!

Dreyfus What do you mean, "he"?

Dreyfus That's what we're trying to tell you. It was unlike anything you've ever seen before, and the leader... He was remarkable.

Carver Really? Is that what you thought?
