I’m curious as to the details to why the interrogators “put him in the shower?” Are we bringing back waterboarding? Why did EMTs need to respond when it became clear they had the wrong person?

And what hotel would allow loud FBI door-banging “training courses” in the middle of the night? It’s not plausible as the FBI’s in-house training facilities are pretty advanced.

In short this sounds like a cover up, at the very least. But the thing about the shower really is disturbing and warrants more information.

I also found it entirely implausible that this was a "training exercise", conducted at a civilian-occupied hotel in a major city. The real question is: What were the FBI really doing/looking for in that hotel?

And, so what's next? Will Marriott give me the option to stay in a "Water-front, certified non-FBI training room." in the future? </sarcasm>

I've been binge-watching Ozark, it makes me wonder too if "it's a training" is just a cover story.

TV-script-speculation: Maybe they were trying to spook some other pilot who was supposed to be there, but the poor guest in room 1505 had been reassigned to fly the route of the target pilot.

I would guess that they called the EMT's to make sure that the pilot was alright both physically and somewhat mentally. If they had not called EMT and then the guy went on to have a heart attack or jumped out the window, everyone would wonder why they did try to verify that he was medically ok.

My guess for the shower is that it is probably a smaller room in the hotel room, without access to the windows or door. Putting someone in there makes them feel more confined.

Sounds like the training exercise during the "Ryazan Sugar" incident.
