East West 101 (2007–2011): Season 3, Episode 6 - Behold a Pale Horse - full transcript

WRIGHT: Ashiq Khalid.
His real name is Ashiq Fakhri.

He served in Saddam
Hussein's Republican Guards

and has possible
terrorist links.

TRAVIS: We believe your
husband and other men

were planning an act of
terrorism in this country.

Did you supply him with
operational information?

Hunter's ex-navy,
served in Iraq,

is highly trained in
weapons use and explosives.

Tried to collect the
drugs and weapons

that Ashiq Khalid had
shipped from Afghanistan.

It's Kimberley Whyte,
Hector Security.



Alive, we could have turned her.

Dead, informants
aren't so useful.

You faked this!
This is bullshit!

This isn't the
war. This is life.

It's a fine line between
watching your mate's back

and then letting him have you
drag you down into a black hole.

I'm fucked up.

Beyond redemption. FUBAR.

[Man chanting in Arabic]

[Siren wailing]

[Up-tempo Middle
Eastern music plays]

[Tires screeching]

Hands in the air!

- Whoa!
- Jesus Christ!



- Oh, Jesus!
- Oh!

MAN: Open the doors,
or you will burn in the hell.

Open it. Do what
he says. Open it.

What the hell kept you?

Why did you have to whack her?!

- Why?!
- Get in the car!

HUNTER: Paranoid piece of shit!

Get in the car!

Fuck! You're fucked!

[Tires screeching]

Who else knows I'm here?

Just my superintendent,

the detective in
charge of the brief.

Only those who need to know.

In Afghanistan,
police are like soldiers.

Last month, in one region alone,

18 officers were
murdered by insurgents.

We fight on the front
line to keep law and order,

but we're easily betrayed.

They've been through
wars and regime changes.

Caution is wise.

I survive because I recognized
the most valuable commodity

is neither guns nor heroin.

It is trust.

Hard to find, hard to keep.

I trust Sonny with my life.

When you're settled in, we'd
like to start with what you know

about Ryan Hunter
and Ashiq Khalid.

I have information on both men,
and other Australians involved

in the theft of opium
from Kandahar.

Yeah, we know
about the drug rip.

An army officer
admitted she supplied

classified
information to Khalid.

Did you know that two
of my men were murdered

as a result of your
army officer's betrayal?

They were working undercover

in an opium factory in Kandahar,

part of a joint
Western task force

gathering information
on Russians

trading weapons for drugs,
when we lost contact with them.

When we raided the factory,
it was a scene of horror.

17 dead.

All the workers,
everyone in the compound.

Men, women, and children.

Khalid was a key suspect.

He'd been courting the
drug lord in Kandahar

pretending to be a buyer.

But the drugs were gone and
he was not among the dead.

KOA: We think the
drug raid in Kandahar

was connected to
the robbery here.

Do you have the names
of the other men involved?

KHAN: Case notes.

Photos. Names.

- One of them interesting.
- [Cellphone rings]

- Months of work.
- Malik.

TRAVIS: I need you to
stop what you're doing

and get yourself to
Werrington Street, Tempe.

I can't. I've got
responsibilities with our guest.

Yeah, well, Hunter's
been broken out of custody,

presumably by his co-offenders.

[Siren wailing]

Got a couple of dopes from
Corrective Services screw up.

Hunter's back on the street,
and we're back where we started.

You didn't see their faces?
Even small details would help.

Voices, accents,
physiques, anything?

No, they didn't say much.

These guys were quick.

One of them has an AK on us.
The other one has a machine gun.

There's a third
bloke on the roof

puts a pickax
through the windshield

and douses us in petrol.

You're supposed to be trained
to deal with this type of shit.

MAN: No, not like that.

I wasn't scared.

But I got a wife
and kid at home.

I know. I understand.

Buddha.

Can we get a lift
home for this guy?

Thanks, mate.

Driver says Hunter
attacked a man

while they jumped in their
car, punching him, saying,

why did you waste her?

Kimberley.

She delivers a message
they're busting him out,

then they whack her.

Man, I'd be pissed off too.

KOA: What are
you gonna tell Khan?

We cop it on the chin,

concentrate on
Khan's other suspects.

Khan?

Ready?

Oh, shit.

LIM: So killer knocks on
the door, Khan opens it,

takes a shot in the
chest, staggers back.

Bang, second shot to the
head. It's nice and neat.

I just can't
believe we left him.

Why did you?

I was called to the
Hunter breakout.

WRIGHT: Any sign of the weapon?

No, but we've
found a shell casing.

.22 caliber.

So we've got two
shots. Only one casing?

Found it behind the sofa.

Killer either didn't have
time or couldn't find it.

Do we know what they were after?

Passport, wallet, money,
paper I.D.s are still all here,

except for his briefcase.

Khan was carrying case
notes on Hunter and Khalid,

as well as leads on
the other Australians

involved in the
drug rip in Kandahar.

- WRIGHT: Did he name them?
- ZANE: He didn't have a chance.

Even had crime scene
photos from the drug rip.

Okay, get onto the
police in Kandahar.

We're gonna need copies
of everything he was carrying.

We got CCTV?

Hotel security said
the system went down

30 minutes after
Khan checked in.

Went down or
deliberately disabled?

Well, "fried" is
what they described.

At the entrance there's a
camera, separate system.

We're getting
footage from it now.

Okay. Get a list of every
guest staying in the hotel.

Contact all the taxi companies.

Check out their
credit card slips.

Find out who was
dropped off here and when.

Find out what
staff were on duty.

Interview all of them.

Cleaners, kitchen
staff, the lot.

I want all stops out.

The murder of a
cop is bad enough,

but Khan was a foreign
national here as our guest.

It's a bloody mess.

CALLAS: Could
Hunter have killed Khan?

ZANE: Their four-wheel
drive was found abandoned

halfway between the
breakout and Khan's hotel.

- I think it's possible.
- It's not probable.

Khan came here
to question Hunter.

Hunter breaks out
the day he arrives.

It's a bit more
than a coincidence.

Well, then, find the evidence.

WRIGHT: Prints? Forensics?

No prints nor DNA in either
car. It's clean and precise.

How are you going with
Hunter's known associates?

Shithouse.

His old navy unit's
on a training exercise

in the Southern Ocean.

Kimberley's dead.

And his dive students are
singing the same song...

Shock horror, he was
such a good bloke.

- WRIGHT: Next of kin?
- Yeah, his mother.

Last known address
is a house in Rosebery.

She's moved on and
no one knows where.

Okay, well, keep looking.

Boss, I've got the CCTV
from outside the hotel.

It's a wide angle

but you get a good look
at who's coming and going.

Okay, there's Malik and
Koa heading to the breakout.

And here, this guy.

He takes a big interest
in your departure,

and then he heads into
the hotel via the car park.

Now, three minutes after that,
the cameras at the hotel go out.

Eight minutes later, same guy.

Can we get a closer shot?

KOA: Definitely not Hunter.

ZANE: No, that's
one of the others.

KOA: What's the bet he's got
Khan's briefcase in his bag?

Where were you this morning?!

- Where were you this morning?!
- Hey, easy, easy!

All morning?!

I was here.

Bullshit! You were
at the Ullma Hotel.

That's you, dickhead!

Outside the same
hotel a cop was killed!

- A dead cop?
- Were you involved?

Why would I want to kill a cop?

If you tell me what
you're looking for,

I might be able to
give you a hand, eh?

I'll kill you right
here and now!

What were you
doing at the hotel?!

- I had business.
- What kind of business?!

- None of yours.
- What business?!

I was scoring, okay?
I was scoring dope.

- You're using.
- You want to arrest me?

Jesus Christ, have
a look at this place.

What the hell's
happened to you, all right?

You're a frigging disgrace.

Yeah, well, it's
all right for you.

I mean, you got two kids.
They look up to you, you know?

Keep you in the
present, give you a future.

- You're their hero.
- You listen to me, right?

You listen to me really careful.

If you killed Khan,
we're both fucked.

[Explosion]

[Gunfire]

[Gasps] Travis!

[Gasping]

[Coughing] Get off!

[Coughing]

[Screaming]

[Panting]

[Crying]

Can't sleep. Sorry.

You know, we're
the same, you and I.

What we do, why we do it.

I thought the saying
was that opposites attract.

Mm.

Man, woman. Opposites.

This gang is just so ruthless.

I mean, how did
they get to Khan?

Have we overlooked something?

Missed a piece of evidence,

or let an important
witness slip away?

You know, Afghanistan's
a tricky place.

People constantly
shifting sides to survive,

you know, and
corruption absolutely rife.

Whoever killed Khan here

probably has
connections in Kandahar.

Pat...

I'm going back.

To Afghanistan?

My, um...

My orders came
through this afternoon.

Look, 80% of Afghanistan
has Taliban presence,

and they are
aggressive fighters.

If I can make a difference to...

Just to one family, that'd
make it all worthwhile.

When do you go back?

Sunday.

That soon?

So you came here last night?

I went to a posh
hotel. I came here after.

Posh hotel written all over you.

I had a nightmare.

Didn't mean to hurt you.
Didn't mean to frighten you.

What was the
nightmare about, huh?

Iraq? War?

Just a wild guess.

Look, you can trust me, Travis.

The past is the past, Lim.

The past is never past.

Whatever happened in the
war, it's with you still, isn't it?

Then why do you
want to dig it up?

Because every time I lay
down and sleep next to you,

I'm putting my life in danger.

I want you to see a counselor.

Travis. Coming to
Khan's I.D. or not?

This is not negotiable. Okay?

[Engine starts]

HOSSEINI: Detective
Khan was well respected

as a man and a police officer.

We're gonna find who
did this. I give you my word.

You were meant to protect him.
Did you give him your word too?

Hey, before you start
pointing the finger,

you want to check
among your own.

Corruption's an art
form in your country,

second only to decorative rugs.

Show me the evidence
that Khan was killed

by an Afghan national.

He worked for your drug
squad. Drugs fuel your economy.

They pay for weapons
for the Taliban.

There's lots of your
people'd want him dead.

HOSSEINI: It's true, he
had powerful enemies.

But Khan was a careful man.

He wasn't careful
enough, was he?

Detective Khan survived 30
years of policing in Afghanistan.

But here, where he
thought he was safe,

among friends, not one day.

Sir, to find his killer,

I need access to Khan's
case notes from Kandahar.

I'm hitting a brick wall.

Is there anyone
I can speak with,

one of his colleagues,
someone he trusted?

Call Gulzar. He also
works in the drug squad.

You can trust him.

ZANE: Thanks.

My people are being crushed
between two powerful enemies.

From the sky, occupation
forces bomb and kill civilians.

On the ground, the Taliban
continue with their warlords

and their crimes.

All Khan ever wanted
was for the killing to end.

You said he had a son.

A wife and three children.

Khan was not corrupt.
There is no police pension.

His family will get nothing
because he was an honest man.

Well, when he does, can
you tell Detective Gulzar

it's Detective
Malik from Sydney.

It's about the murder
of his colleague

and I need to speak with him
as soon as possible, please.

No, he needs to contact
me the moment he arrives.

It's very important.

All right.

Thanks, bye-bye.

He's in the mountains somewhere.

WRIGHT: The robbers were
highly trained and well-armed.

If the gang was in
Afghanistan with Hunter,

then they have
the logistical skills

to move about large
quantities of heroin.

We still don't know who
Hunter called about Kimberley.

He's the man we're after.

Hey, I've got an address
for Hunter's mother.

She might know
who his mates are.

RHONDA: Ryan's not stupid.

He hasn't called. And
he wouldn't come here.

And if he did, I
wouldn't tell you lot.

Rhonda, we want the
same as you, right?

- We want your son...
- I know he's in trouble!

I never wanted him to join up.

But he always does
exactly what he wants.

There's no controlling him.

Chez, can you get
him down off there?

Who were his
friends in the navy?

He could be with
someone dangerous.

There've been
unexplained deaths.

If you know anything...

I don't know. We're
not that close, all right?

He doesn't like my girlfriends.

When he was 16, he
gave me an ultimatum...

Him or Cherry.

No one tells me
how to live my life.

Is that Cherry there?

RHONDA: Yeah. You
got a problem with that?

- No.
- No.

He did.

He couldn't wait
to get over to Iraq

and start dismantling mines.

All the daddy
figures he could want.

- Till he bucked the system.
- Any figures in particular?

Yeah, there was
one guy he admired.

When he went contracting when
he left the navy, it was for him.

- This guy have a name?
- He wasn't navy.

ZANE: Army?

He was a contractor.

What was the name of
this contracting company?

Goodman Brummer.

That's who he worked
for. Him and Pounds.

Pounds? Is that a
nickname or a real name?

- I don't know.
- You got a photo of Pounds?

No. He was a climber.
Maybe he's overseas.

Ryan told me he liked to
climb all of the big peaks

of the Himalayas.

Always thought that
was a funny friendship.

One liked to climb,
other one liked to dive.

ZANE: Your son
doesn't trust us, Rhonda.

He's in a lot of trouble,

and we're his only
hope of a long life,

so if he does contact you...

Yeah.

Call me.

Goodman Brummer.
You heard of them?

- Should I have?
- Private military company.

Global security. They
got big during Iraq.

Headquarters, training
facilities in Dallas, Texas.

TRAVIS: What's the connection?

Hunter worked for
them in Afghanistan.

KOA: Mercenaries.

Does Khan know that
Goodman Brummer was involved?

Until I get his case notes,
I won't know for sure.

Well, get onto Dallas.

Request a list
of all Australians

working in Afghanistan
for Goodman Brummer

at the time of the drug rip.

Good luck with that.

Goodman Brummer aren't
the most cooperative company.

You've dealt with them before?

A private security
company's not gonna risk

the safety of its operatives

in the most hostile
environments on the planet

by handing out their
names and phone numbers.

It won't happen.

If you know them,
good. You make the call.

ZANE: Hunter's mother gave
us the name of one of his mates.

He called him Pounds.

- It's probably a nickname.
- Pounds?

Yeah, said he was
a mountain climber.

Serious climbing groups like
Everest, K1, that sort of thing.

All right, get onto all the
climbing groups you can find.

Just came through
from Kandahar police.

Can't believe that Australians
are responsible for this.

Crime scene photos from
the drug rip in Kandahar.

- Any case notes?
- No, that's all they sent.

Any word from Gulzar?

No, he's still in the mountains.

Hey.

Just, um, she specializes
in PTSD, okay?

If you don't want to
talk to me, talk to her.

[Down-tempo
instrumental music plays]

[Explosions]

[Intercom beeping]

HUNTER: Hey, Pounds.
It's Hunter, mate. Buzz me up.

Come on, Pounds.
Get me up. Come on!

- [Intercom beeping]
- Pounds, buzz me up. Come on.

[Up-tempo instrumental
music plays]

[Tires screech, horn honks]

Yeah. Jake.

Look, I need a rush
on a ballistics job.

It's another shell casing.

Yeah, I need to confirm it
was fired from the same weapon

that killed the Afghan cop.

Yeah, I'm sending
it over to you now.

[Engine starts]

Angela Travis?

I'm Detective Lim. I
work with your husband.

- Yeah, I know who you are.
- Look, I'm worried about him.

He doesn't usually
go for women like you.

What, Asian?

Cop.

He in trouble?

There was an incident
this morning, okay?

He's gone off the radar.
I'm just trying to find him.

Yeah, well, he's not here.

Look, do you know where he
might go when he's stressed out?

I don't care.

Did Neil ever talk about Iraq?

You know, where he
fought, what he did?

Yeah. Yeah, it was our foreplay.

What do you reckon?

He was in a war.

But not everybody comes
back damaged goods.

Damaged, right. So he changed?

Oh, that man had demons
before he went away.

- What kind of demons?
- Father-son demons.

Neil's father was a hard man.

But even when Neil
went away to fight,

it wasn't because
he wanted to be

a good father or a good husband

or because he even
cared for the cause.

He came back worse.

Moody, dark.

You can't help a man if
he doesn't want it, all right?

Now, I just want my
kids to grow up whole.

So you have no idea
why he was traumatized?

Look, I've met other
guys who've been in Iraq

and they're just fine.

But Neil, he refused to talk
about it. Or to me, anyway.

Did he have any other
army mates that he talked to?

Like who?

There was a friend who called
him in the middle of the night

Right, well, that
friend wasn't me.

All right? It wasn't me.

And Neil Travis,
he's a closed book.

That man went away to
war, and he never came back.

What happened to him over
there, it changed him forever.

Now excuse me.

[Cellphone rings]

Hello?

Witness definitely
I.D.'d Hunter.

Said she saw him load
scuba-diving gear in his car.

ZANE: Must have needed it
pretty bad to risk coming here.

- Any rego?
- Nah.

Said she saw him
and ran to the phone.

Totally freaked when
she seen his fat head.

- So did you get him?
- No.

- Prick's got nine lives.
- You know the boss is after you?

She's been on my back
about your whereabouts.

- [Cellphone rings]
- She wants to see you.

She's gonna have to wait. Hello?

So you're sure it's a
perfect match, Jake?

There's no doubt
it'll stand up in court?

Right.

All right, wrap it
up. We're done.

Right, we circulate the photo
and mention the dive gear.

- CALLAS: Malik.
- Hey, you still here?

Yeah. Just to gloat. I've
got an I.D. on Pounds.

No luck with the climbing blogs
but hit pay dirt with some guy

that used to work for
Goodman Brummer.

"Pounds discovers Nirvana."

Any idea when and
where this was taken?

Teahouse in Kabul.

He's referred to here
as Jon "Pounds" Sterling.

Right.

Bring up the CCTV
on Khan's hotel.

Knock yourself out. I've
got a baby to get home to.

KOA: Well, give
him a squeeze for us.

ZANE: Boss. Want
to check this out?

KOA: Ah, he's one and the same.

Taken in Afghanistan
before the drug rip.

Now all we need is an address.

Right, well, get onto
your consular official.

If Sterling went to
Afghanistan, he'd need a visa.

The visa would need an address.

[Door opens]

I assume this is yours since
I found it under your couch.

I didn't put it there.

You're supposed
to say, "What gun?

I don't know anything about it."

It's not what you think.

It's everything I think.

You lied to me.

You killed Khan. I know
that. I just don't know why.

I'm the instrument, brother.
I don't write the songs.

Well, who does?
Tell me who does.

You're my brother.

We're supposed to understand
each other, trust each other.

Yeah, well, I want to
trust you, but I can't!

What, friendship
doesn't mean anything?

Yeah, well, it's not like
it used to be is it, hey?

In the combat zone?

Look, you want to
destroy me, don't you?

You've done that to yourself.

I can't save you
if you won't let me.

Who are your new friends?

If I talk to you, I
am a dead man!

- You're a dead man anyway.
- I can't!

Where's Ryan Hunter?

- Who?
- Ryan Hunter!

He was outside there,
ringing your doorbell!

He worked in Afghanistan
for Goodman and Brummer

- just like you did!
- Yeah, so?

Shit went down in Kandahar!

I know that, Sterling!
You were there!

- No.
- Yeah.

- You recognize this?
- No!

One for your scrapbook.
There's 17 dead bodies there.

17!

Was that your work?
You and your dirty mates?

You work it out, hey.
You're the frigging cop.

No, not now!

Not now.

If you'd have trusted me,
maybe you had a chance.

- You're gone.
- We're both gone!

If I killed Khan,
we are both fucked!

That's what you said!

You're dirty. You are dirty!

- Don't say that!
- You're dirty.

Don't say that!

My life fucking
stopped. You were there!

Shut up!

You let me walk out of here,

I'll find a mountain, man.

I disappear from your life.

- No!
- You'll never see me again!

No, you got a
drug habit, Sterling!

You're always gonna
be here trying to feed it.

- You owe me!
- I don't owe you anything!

You made your own choice.

- [Sobbing]
- It's time to pay!

[Both grunting]

Let go!

No!

Aah!

Aaah!

[Down-tempo
instrumental music plays]

ANGELA: Come on,
boys. Get in the car please.

We're running late.

Here. Can you take that? Thanks.

You're a mess.

You always have been a mess.
You just keep my kids out of it.

Yeah, and one more
visit from your girlfriend,

you and I are back
in court, all right?

You're a danger to those boys.

I shouldn't even
let you near them.

KOA: Hey, dead man walking.

Travis, we've got an I.D. on
Pounds if you're interested.

His name's Jon Sterling.

That's great.

Ballistics report
from the hotel.

Thanks.

LIM: You didn't
come home last night.

- Guess that means we're done.
- You've been talking to my wife.

Yes, I've been
talking to your wife.

The mood that you were in, I had
no idea what you were gonna do.

You shouldn't have
gone to see Angela.

- You invaded my life.
- I've invaded your life?

What do you think
you've done to mine?

Sneaking around
interrogating my wife is off-limits.

Do you understand?

- She's your ex-wife, remember?
- ZANE: Explain this to me.

You gave ballistics
a report and a casing

which matches the one
found where Khan was killed.

- That's what it says.
- Where'd you get it?

Fire stairwell of the hotel.

I went back to watch the CCTV,
see how they got in and got out.

- And?
- Slack security.

Do you know our
crime scene wasn't...

A casing in the stairwell?

Why would the
killer leave it there

and not at the crime scene?

I'm the officer in charge.
Shouldn't I be informed?

Fine. I found it, I
got it checked out.

You're telling me it's
connected. You're informed.

You went back to
the crime scene alone.

Where's your
continuity of evidence?

How are you gonna
prove anything?

Prove what? There
was a second bullet.

Now there's a
second shell casing.

How's that gonna solve anything?

Listen to me, smart-ass.

If you screw this up, it's
gonna fall on the boss.

Do you understand?

What's gonna fall on me?

Fax from Afghanistan.

Looks like Gulzar's
back from the mountains.

He's found Khan's notes.

ZANE: Oh, they're in Pashto.

- You can't read them?
- I'll get a translator.

It'll just take
time, that's all.

Well, these are
pretty universal.

- That's Hunter.
- Yeah.

Looks like he's
dealing in security.

Hunter and Khalid.

Sterling and Hunter
in Afghanistan.

Who's that man?

Looks like he's
running the operation.

CALLAS: The
embassy got back to us.

Jon Sterling was granted
a visa to work in Kandahar

for Goodman Brummer.

- He list an address?
- Oh, yeah.

Right, get the
troops down there.

[Sirens wailing]

Dead.

Gunshot wound to the head.

Lim, start the log. Koa,
you talk to the neighbors.

The rest of you,
you know what to do.

.22.

Could be a match for
the one that killed Khan.

Bruises on his cheeks,
grazed knuckles.

Looks like he's been in a
fight, some kind of struggle.

Place is a mess.

What do you reckon?

I knew him.

What?

He's an old army buddy.

WRIGHT: You haven't
declared conflict of interest.

Well, I'm declaring it
now, not that there is any.

A lot of water's passed
under the bridge...

You saw the CCTV footage, right?
What, you didn't recognize him?

- No.
- Come on, Travis.

He's a junkie, Malik.

His own mother
wouldn't recognize him.

How long since you've
seen Jon Sterling?

- I don't know. A long time.
- How long exactly, Travis?

What, do you want
me to check my diary?

I used to see him at
army get-togethers.

He was pissed or stoned or both.

But I didn't think
he was that bad.

So that's when you
revisited the crime scene.

When you knew your
mate Sterling was involved.

He's not my mate.
He was a junkie.

I went back when we hit a wall,
when you were getting nowhere.

You know he found
the second shell casing?

It was in the stairwell,
and I followed procedure.

Sent it to ballistics and
the report's on your desk.

All right. Any idea
why he'd kill Khan?

The Sterling I knew had his
head in the clouds, all right?

I wouldn't say he was a strong
man, but he was a decent man.

My opinion, he couldn't
live with what he did.

- So it's a suicide.
- Yeah, it's a suicide.

KOA: Neighbor downstairs
says he heard some fighting.

Boss, the woman on the ground
floor swears she saw Hunter.

She called it in. It should
be somewhere in the records.

Did you know that
he knew Hunter?

No. What do you take me for?

- The man in charge of this.
- Yeah, am I still in charge?

If there's any reason
why I need to remove you,

I need to know now.

TRAVIS: There's no reason.

WRIGHT: I've put a
lot of trust in you, Travis.

- Is it being misplaced?
- No.

I hope not.

What have we got?

Ballistics confirmed.
Same gun, same ammo.

Okay, so Sterling shot Khan

and then shot himself
with the same weapon?

TRAVIS: That's
what it looks like.

I mean, I know he was disturbed.

Malik?

Why would he kill himself when
he just got away with murder?

That makes no sense.

He stopped making sense the
day he was addicted to heroin.

WRIGHT: Vince?

VINCENT: It
looks like a suicide.

High concentrations of
alcohol and opiates in the blood.

Powder burns on the
temple, angle of wounds,

gunshot residue on his hand.

And it is rare for suicides
to still have hold of the gun.

So you think someone
placed it there?

I don't speculate. But if
I was forced to guess...

You'd say someone
put it in his hand.

I'd say I don't know.

The print report on the gun

mentions it was
suspiciously clean.

So it's been wiped.

I'd say there was
a reason for that.

He'd just killed a cop.

- What about Hunter?
- Hunter.

Could have killed Sterling,
made it look like a suicide.

WRIGHT: We'd better hope
for a quick recapture of Hunter.

He is a suspect in a massacre
that Khan investigated,

and he may also be a
conspirator in his murder.

Zane.

Sorry, I didn't
mean to wake you.

No, you didn't.

He did.

Your father's
convinced it's a boy.

For Khan?

His wife.

What do you say?

That you know, as he did,

that every man's death
is at the right time...

and according
to the will of Allah.

Is it Allah's will...

that his country's now without
a good and honest man?

Or his kids don't
even have a father?

I think...

we should pay
for their education.

In memory of Amir.

And in honor of their father.

A good, honest
policeman, like you.

Well, this is it, I'm afraid.

Next stop, Kabul.

Then on to another
more isolated destination.

Am I allowed to
know where you'll be?

I'm sorry, no.

But I can tell you
that it'll be cold,

when it's not fiercely hot.

I don't want you to go.

I don't want to leave you.

But I have to.

What if you don't come back?

- I never think about that.
- You're a liar.

Well, you know, I don't
anticipate problems,

but life's unexpected.

Like walking into a building

to talk to a cop about a
soldier in trouble, and wham.

My heart gets taken hostage.

What do you do?

What do you do?

Oliver...

You'll be coming back.

I promise.

I want you to come back to me.

[Scrubbing]

Got these for you.

Thanks.

So how close were
you to Sterling?

Did you meet him
in Iraq or before?

- Iraq.
- And how close?

Look, what happened in Iraq
that you think I can't handle?

What do you want me to do?

Do you want me to walk you
through every bullet I fired,

every Arab I shot?

Every civilian and soldier
I saw blown up by an IED?

Look, Travis...

You don't get it, right?

You and Angela and
all the others in at work.

Arabs. They hate us.

Right? They hate us,
they hate our way of life.

You get it? Right?

And you've got no fucking
idea how thin the wall

between you and that
ocean of hate actually is.

They want to destroy us,
and they don't give a fuck

if they destroy the
world in the process.

You're trying to tell me this
is why you're messed up?

I don't believe you.

I'm going to work.

Hey! I said I'd go
and see a shrink.

What else do you want me to do?

I have this funny idea that
love and trust go together.

So I'll ask you one more time.

What is your
involvement with Sterling,

and how close were you?

I'm going to his funeral.
That's my involvement.

[Explosion]

[Explosion]

No!

I don't owe you anything!

We're both fucked!

PRIEST: And so may
God, in his infinite mercy,

have pity on this man.

And may he guide him to peace

and to the fulfillment
of the eternal kingdom,

now and forever, amen.

[Camera shutter clicking]

- Who's this dude?
- Don't know.

Feel like I've seen
him somewhere.

KOA: Travis sure knows him.

[Camera shutter clicking]

If he knows something,
he's not sharing it.

[Camera shutter clicks]

Well, he never does.

[Camera shutter clicking]
