The Siege1998

[the agents observe and capture Samir]

Agent Frank Haddad:
His name's Samir Nazhde. Teaches Arab Studies at Brooklyn College. He sponsored Ail Waziri's student visa. And dig this - his brother blew up a movie theatre in Tel Aviv.

Elise Kraft:
You might consider leaving him alone.

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
Why would I consider doing that?

Elise Kraft:
Play him like a cop and haul him in now and get your arrest, or tag him and let him lead you to the really big fish.

Agent Frank Haddad:
[curses in Arabic] You're fishing and he's getting visas for bombers.

Elise Kraft:
You ever heard of catch and release?

Agent Frank Haddad:
Yes, and he's on the next plane for Tunis. [Samir is now leaving a cafe]

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
Take him down.

Agent Frank Haddad:
[keys his radio] Go. [Three agents take Samir, and lead them to Hub's car]

Agent Frank Haddad:
Samir Nazhde, my name is Frank Haddad, I'm a Federal Agent. We have reason to believe you are an accessory to the bombing of Bus 87.

Samir Nazhde:
Are you crazy?

Agent Frank Haddad:
You are an associate of Ali Waziri.

Samir Nazhde:
Who? I know no one by that name.

Agent Frank Haddad:
You got him a student visa.

Samir Nazhde:
I sign these applications as a matter of course, hundreds of them. Everyone wants to come to the land of opportunity and Baywatch.

Agent Frank Haddad:
You spent two years in Israeli jails during the Intifada.

Samir Nazhde:
The only ones who didn't were women like you. [Frank backhands Samir across the mouth]

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
Frank...

Agent Frank Haddad:
Sorry, personal matter. [to Samir] You're going downtown, my friend.

Samir Nazhde:
You cannot hold me. I know my rights! I watch American television!

Agent Frank Haddad:
Defrauding the INS is a federal offense. [hands him off to the agents] Reservation for one, please.
