"- What's "Privilege team"? - It's okay."
The Mauritanian

"Who is reading? You say to me attorney-client."
The Mauritanian
"I am client, you are attorney."
The Mauritanian
"What the fuck is Privilege team?"
The Mauritanian
"It's an independent body."
The Mauritanian
"They evaluate your letters and determine what needs to remain classified."
The Mauritanian
"But they're walled off from the government and the prosecution."
The Mauritanian
"If my guards read the letters, I am here."
The Mauritanian
"It's me they will fuck, not you."
The Mauritanian
"We can't go forward without the Privilege team."
The Mauritanian
"Now, that's all there is to it."

"You gotta trust me, all right? We haven't even gotten in the ring yet."
The Mauritanian
"- Okay. - Good."
The Mauritanian
"Now I need you to sue the government."
The Mauritanian
"- What? - We have to file a motion to compel"

"to get them to release the evidence that they have against you."
The Mauritanian
"We can't fight what we don't know."
The Mauritanian
"I mean what I say. Hmm?"
The Mauritanian
"There's no evidence. I trust you, you trust me."
The Mauritanian
"I am innocent. I am innocent, okay?"
The Mauritanian
"What do you need to see to believe this?"
The Mauritanian
"It doesn't matter what we believe. What matters is what we can prove."
The Mauritanian
"You're like my interrogators, just like them."
The Mauritanian
"We know that you're innocent."
The Mauritanian
"We do."
The Mauritanian
"But we have to prove that,"
The Mauritanian
"and we can't do that unless we see the allegations against you."

The Mauritanian
"[laughing] Sure. Sure."
The Mauritanian
"Why not?"
The Mauritanian
"You know, all he wanted was to hear that we believed he was innocent."
The Mauritanian
"Why wouldn't you just say it?"
