The Recruit
Layla tricked James in order to make him fail his mission of
getting a date at the bar. James
retaliates by asking Layla embarrassing questions while she is connected to a
polygraph (lie detector) test machine.
In the next scene, we see James approaching Layla to
apologize. They basically admit that
they like each other but that nothing can happen. Walter is watching their interaction on a
live feed (spy) camera.
In the next scene, we see Walter preparing the recruits for
their next mission. He tells them how to
spy on someone and not get caught. James
and Layla go out on the mission as a pair. They hide in an alley at Layla’s suggestion. They are then kidnapped by “bad guys” and
separated. James is asked questions and
tortured when he doesn’t answer them. We
don’t see Layla. The “bad guys” want the
name of James’ instructors. Only when
James is led to believe that Layla is in danger does he give up the name of “Walter
Burke.”
We next see one of the side walls rolling up and Walter,
Layla, and the recruits on the other side.
They had apparently been watching James’ question/torture session on
monitors. Layla is crying. She is clearly upset at the extent to which
they tortured and deceived James.
Walter tells the recruits that this is an example of why
Rule #1 is “Don’t get caught.”………to be continued…..
This is how my partner Wesley Virgin's report starts with this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to get everything they want.
THESE are the same secrets many famous people (notably those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and successful.
You probably know how you only use 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe that thought has even taken place IN YOUR own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind 7 years ago, while riding a non-registered, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a license and with $3 in his bank account.
"I'm absolutely frustrated with living check to check! Why can't I become successful?"
You've taken part in those thoughts, am I right?
Your very own success story is going to start. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
