Hi,

I have qestion about this word-" ass",  what does it mean in this context?  Thank you.

(I do not think this is a good word! I just wanna know the meaning of it, so I hope you do not mind the question I ask, thanks for your help, anyway)(:D) Big Smile

Pope: Fernando, you're only gonna make things more difficult if you don't cooperate.
Sucre: I told you I didn't burn him.  I found him like that.
Bellick:  you found him like that?
Sucre: He was acting kind of weird when we lined up for final count. He was sweating, you know? But he's not a big talker anyway, so I didn't think much of it. Middle of the night, I, I get up, and there he is, face down on the floor.
Bellick: My... ass.
Sucre: Ask him yourself when the doc's done with him.  I didn't touch him.

In this context, it means "you are lying".

In the U.S. we also say 'my eye' or 'my foot' to avoid the use of the word 'ass' (which I think is more effective, if slightly vulgar).
