honor in Scientology. She said to him, “Very well done, sir.” (Later she was corrected for
saying that, because you don’t commend your senior.)
Cruise was charming. He said that he and Davis were headed over to the Empire State
Building and then to Nobu for some sushi—why didn’t they join them? Afterward, they
all went skating at Rockefeller Center, which was closed to the public while they were
on the rink. It was beginning to seem a little too perfect. She spent that rst night with
Cruise in the Trump Tower, where he had taken an entire floor for his entourage.
Cruise invited Naz to hang out on the set of War of the Worlds, which was shooting in
Athens, New York, the next morning. At the end of the day, Davis accompanied her back
to the city. In the limo, he handed Naz a non-disclosure agreement. There was no lawyer
present, and she wasn’t given a copy of what she signed. He informed her that the
“mission” was now o the table. This—the relationship with Cruise—was far more
important. Davis warned that if she did anything to upset Cruise he would personally
destroy her.
Naz wasn’t resistant. She wanted to help the world, and she had faith that Scientology
could do that. Cruise was dazzling. Scientology was deeply important to both of them. It
was obviously meant to be, so why question it?
According to several knowledgeable sources, within a few weeks Naz moved into
Cruise’s house. Davis and Jessica Feshbach were constantly tutoring her in how to
behave toward the star. One evening, she and Cruise had dinner with several
Scientologists, including Tommy Davis and Cruise’s niece, Lauren Haigney, who was in
the Sea Org and was posted to Gold Base. She had been Katy Haggis’s best friend all
through their childhood. They were at the Delphian School together. At the dinner,
Lauren talked about her friendship with Katy, and how she had decided to break o
their relationship when Katy said she was a lesbian. Naz was shocked, not just by the
comment but by the fact that everyone agreed with her decision. 8
In December, Cruise took Naz to his vacation house in Telluride, where they were
joined by David and Shelly Miscavige. While they were at Cruise’s retreat, David and
Shelly watched a screener of Million Dollar Baby. Afterward, Miscavige said it had been
dicult to sit through. He complained about what a poor example of a Scientologist
Haggis was, and said that he needed to get back on the Bridge and stop making such
awful, low-tone films. Cruise agreed. “He needs to get his ethics in,” he remarked.
Naz was having an awful menstrual period, and she wanted to beg o the festive
dinner they had planned, but she knew she was obliged to play the hostess. Still, she felt
miserable and her mind was foggy. A couple of times, Miscavige addressed comments to
her, and she couldn’t quite understand what he said. Miscavige speaks in a rapid-re
Philly brogue, and Naz had to ask him to repeat himself more than once. The next day,
both Davis and Cruise dressed her down for disrespecting the church leader—
specically, for “insulting his TR 1.” In Scientology lingo, that refers to the basic
Training Routine about communicating with another person. Naz had embarrassed
Miscavige because he wasn’t able to get his message across. Davis said that her conduct
was inexcusable. If she was in pain, she should have taken a Tylenol.
With his characteristic intensity, Cruise himself later explained the seriousness of the
