We have to admit that in Rasul we have met our match. Even our expertise in inflicting real pain and total and crushing humiliation, though successful enough, could not break him down completely.

He is as arrogant and defiant as ever. But this makes our game even more interesting. As we continue we cannot oversee that his mask is cracking.

He tries not to show it, but we can see real pain and, yes, real humiliation and terror in those arrogant eyes of his. We leave him beaten and bound as he tries to keep back his tears of rage, pain and humiliation.
