I saw the episode in question, and there was little that was forceful about
Sheridan's interrogation. It was nasty and devious, but they rarely used
force.
Sheridan luDISmoH 'e' lunID.
They tried to make Sheridan confess.
If you want something more forceful (!) than this, it's going to start to
get icky:
DIS Sheridan 'e' luraD 'e' lunID.
The tried to compel Sheridan to confess.
