* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: During the movie, we get glimpses of the induction process Treadstone (and presumably Blackbriar) agents undergo. Specifically, Jason is told to murder a man, sitting in a room with a bag over his head, and every time he refused Jason had a bag put on ''his'' head and he was severely punished, ''vis-à-vis'' solitary confinement and waterboarding among other methods, until he finally broke and killed him. To twist the knife further it seems that Jason, who volunteered, initially seemed to think the test was to ''not'' kill the man, given how soldier-like he took the orders.
