Ghosts of Beirut (2023): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Finding - full transcript
I thought
he'd be uglier.
And that's Saada?
Yeah. And
Wissam, their son.
It was his idea
to go to Damascus
to save his parents' marriage.
- You saw this?
- Yeah.
He's never been so sloppy.
Mike, this is good.
Any idea where he is now, Lena?
Where he'll be tomorrow?
We have to get closer.
You and
your Mossad buddies?
They're
not my buddies.
You're asking the
President to consider
a covert assassination
in the heart of the Syrian
capital with Israel.
Let me count the ways
we all get fucked.
Imad is having
a family meltdown
on a street in Damascus.
He's off balance.
And for the first time,
he's making mistakes.
Imad...
suspenseful music
I
know, Mama. I know.
It just didn't work out, okay?
Are you traveling?
Can you make it to Dearborn?
But
I can't right now.
My mission just got extended.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
I worry about you.
There's more to life
than work, you know?
I've got to go.
Say hi to Baba and everyone.
- I love you, Mama.
- I love you, too.
It's been a long
and painful history
for both of our services.
We have here a
unique opportunity.
We should put the
differences aside
and settle an old account.
Thank you, Mike.
Mike, the President
will want to know
where this is all heading.
Once we identify
Mughniyeh's precise movements,
we will request a
finding on lethal action
based on the clear
imminent threat.
And you want to do this
together with Mossad?
Yes.
The National
Command Authority
would want assurances
that such actions fall
within the protocols
governing presidential findings.
We play by our rules.
And we'd need solid
proof that Imad Mughniyeh
poses an imminent threat
to American lives.
Otherwise we can't kill him.
Mike, when did the lawyers
take over this place?
Since waterboarding
and black sites
sent CIA off the rails.
This is different.
We know from
Daqduq's chargesheet
that Karbala is
the first of many.
The intel is airtight,
verified by the FBI.
Look at the evidence, see
if it meets your criteria.
I think you'll
find that it does.
We'll work it through
the inter-agency process
and let you know.
Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.
I can greenlight
preparations, Meir.
That's all for now.
Lena, how soon can you
get back to Damascus?
As soon as you'll let me.
Teddy knows
Damascus very well.
I'll join you.
Well, Meir,
what do you say?
What could go wrong?
How long do
you stay here in Syria?
One week.
Hopefully longer next time.
- Your business?
- Engineering.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing.
We start construction
next month,
but first, we have to
find somewhere to live.
So, we're
looking for number 77.
This is the one with
more light, I think.
- Okay.
- Probably on this side.
A nice neighborhood, no?
It's calm.
Please.
So, what do you think?
It's perfect.
Exactly what we're looking for.
The old camera
positions were too wide
to get a positive ID, but
these ones should be closer.
Good, because we might
not get another chance.
Cheers.
And is she one of ours?
No, she just runs the street.
Hmm.
Really good work. Thank you.
Okay, Lena. Thank you.
That's Suleimani. 100%.
Which floor
is he going to?
We couldn't get that angle.
Sorry.
Suspenseful music
Who the hell was that?
Can't see.
Guys, I'm gonna grab some food.
I think it's gonna
be a long night.
- Thank you.
- See you later.
Okay, there.
Which building?
Building C, fifth floor.
It could be.
It's them.
Hmm.
I think you're right.
Looks like two old friends
enjoying an evening together.
- Here.
- Yes.
- That's him.
- Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Everybody's gonna
want a piece of this.
Your bosses, my bosses.
We have to stay on it.
Yes. No missile
strikes, no drones.
Look at this neighborhood.
I think I have
enough for the White House.
I can get us a
presidential finding.
Wafa...
Imad.
Wafa...
Yoav!
Galit.
Okay.
pensive music
So, if
Imad was arrested and tried,
what do you think
the verdict would be?
Your country, electric chair.
Mine, life detention.
So you're saying
you're more civilized?
No, just more hypocritical.
That's why we make
sure people like Imad
never get to trial.
Hmm.
You done a mission
like this before?
Well, no matter how surgical
or clinical or whatever,
this will haunt you.
You'll think about his
wife, think about his kids.
I already do.
- Shalom.
- Hey.
Just in time for the show.
Three, two, one.
Waste of fucking time.
Look at your maps.
That's a kindergarten.
You just killed
some fucking kids.
It's okay. Just the first try.
Maia...
Okay?
School is too close.
I was in Lebanon,
in Beirut, in 1994.
For Imad's brother?
Yes, Fouad.
Three innocents,
plus the brother.
Three innocents which I saw.
Fifteen injured.
All from a car bomb
which I placed.
Big fucking mess.
This was the whole idea.
We would kill the brother,
Imad would come to the funeral,
and there would be
a missile strike.
A missile
strike on a funeral?
I'm watching. I'm
waiting for Imad.
These children and families
are gathering at the grave.
I lost count of how many.
I was standing there
and actually hoping
this motherfucker wouldn't show.
Fortunately for everyone
that was there, he never did.
That was wrong, what
they asked you to do.
We have to trust each
other, you and I.
The CIA girl from Baalbek,
the Mossad guy from Jerusalem.
Yeah, okay.
Thanks, Mike.
So the White House
has signed off.
We have 30 days.
Starting when?
About an hour ago.
Team is here.
Tense music
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
In case anybody doesn't
know, this is Lena.
She's running point
for the CIA team.
Also from today, this room
is going to be open 24/7.
We'll bring food,
we'll bring beds,
whatever we need.
Call your families
because we're not
going home for a while.
He always meets Suleimani
at the same place?
We think so.
You want a two-fer?
- I could build it.
- No.
Why not?
The finding is for Imad only.
So maybe it's an
innocent mistake,
and we get the head of
the Quds Force for free.
Yeah. And then we
start a war with Iran.
So please, our target
is Imad and Imad only.
Exactly.
suspenseful music
This is good.
Okay, check this out.
Cool, huh?
Well, this
is it. Off he goes.
First Jordan, then
across the desert to Syria.
Let's hope he
doesn't get a flat.
I hope he's got a map.
This is our line of sight.
About 50 kilometers to Damascus.
Over there, it's
160 to Tel Aviv.
So no satellite, because
two seconds is too long?
Right. Because anyone
can walk into the kill zone.
It'll work.
So Beirut is...
Beirut is over there.
About 70 kilometers.
suspenseful music
Okay,
into position.
Moving into position.
Okay. We're in position.
Test complete.
Good work,
everyone. Good work.
Oh!
pensive music
Suleimani
team in motion.
I'd say within two days.
Okay.
How are you holding up?
Okay.
You?
Trying not
to think about it.
Then I feel guilty for
not thinking about it.
Yes, I know the feeling.
The finding
has a strict 30-day limit.
You have six left.
So, Mike, what,
we throw everything away?
Mike, you must get the
White House to extend.
We can't.
We'd need new evidence
for a fresh authorization.
That's absurd.
That's our
process. I'm sorry.
Welcome to Washington.
It's not such a welcome
your country has.
Lena.
Come. We have something.
Do we have eyes on Building C?
Yes.
General Muhammad,
Assad's right hand.
He's a liaison officer
with the Hezbollah.
He's here to speak with Imad.
Shit.
Okay, standby
to reposition.
Maia, facial?
No.
- Was that him?
- Didn't see.
- Let's not risk it.
- Yes, okay.
Move into position.
Suspenseful music
They'll be out soon.
How do you know?
Syria-Iran World Cup qualifier,
it just ended 0-0.
Perfect.
Hmm.
There.
That's Imad with Suleimani
and General Muhammad.
Facial?
Target confirmed.
Oh, my God, he's
walking with Imad.
There's our two-fer.
Fuck. She's right.
What?
- She's right.
- Teddy.
Teddy, what
the fuck are you doing?
We're out
of time. This is it.
Mike, we have a situation here.
Into position. Stand by.
We've got a visual on Imad,
but Suleimani's there.
Abort.
Lena, you have to abort.
I'm trying, but Dagan's here.
- Teddy, stop!
- Stand by.
Put me on speaker, loud.
Thirteen seconds.
This is a CIA operation.
Abort. I repeat, abort.
Ten seconds.
Mike, it's Meir Dagan.
It's a Mossad operation.
I take responsibility.
Seven, six.
I speak for the
President of the United States.
Abort, abort.
- That is an order.
- Four, three.
Abort!
Abort.
Meir, abort. That is an order.
We are not starting
a war with Iran.
Abort.
Fuck!
Fucking Americans.
- Lena, we good?
- Yeah, we're good.
You told me I
needed to trust you.
Well, fuck you, Teddy!
Hey.
Hey.
You know I had to do what I did.
If you say so.
Why do you think
General Muhammad
was with Imad and Suleimani?
I mean, I have an idea,
but I don't know for sure.
I have an idea, too,
but it's just a hunch.
I can't confirm anything.
What if I can get an extension?
I thought that was impossible.
How was your flight?
Exhausting.
- Wow. Nice digs.
- Yeah.
It's only till we get
his family to the States.
Then we'll stick 'em all in
a subdivision outside Tucson.
Brutal.
- How's Mossad?
- Pissed.
Well, let me guess.
They think we're all idiots for
tripping over our own rules.
Yeah, well, they used us, so
I don't care what they think.
He knows you're coming.
You have
traveled a long way.
Yeah, well, so have you.
Strange country.
Your family, do
they like America?
Yeah, sure.
There's something
you haven't told us.
I already have asylum.
It has to do with
your last job in Iran.
Deputy Defense Minister.
That must have been
very useful for Imad.
Depending on his intentions,
his strategic intentions.
Strategic?
You oversaw the WMD program.
I've told my whole
story time and again.
Chai?
Your story doesn't
have an ending.
Why don't you help me end it?
When we started this,
I had hopes.
I truly believed
that we were working together
for a dignified cause,
that Iran would become powerful
and even Lebanon
would become stronger.
You should have
left Lebanon alone.
You unleashed a cancer.
You sound exactly
like my daughter.
I think she will
like this country.
She will be happy
here, just like you.
I think Imad asked
you for something.
Before you left.
I need you to tell me
everything Imad said
regarding weapons
of mass destruction.
Confirmed. He'll
put it in writing.
Okay, I'll tell the White House.
Pensive music
- It was really a...
- I never...
Please.
I lost my mind.
I'm sorry.
Don't you think I knew
how high the stakes were?
We had a deal,
and I trusted you.
I know.
Don't ever do that to me again.
I won't.
Great job with Asgari.
Thanks.
Great job helping us
avoid a major fuck up.
You're welcome.
Ah...
Oh...
He's
coming tonight.
I see it.
It's
also the age, you know.
He's rebelling.
Proving himself,
causing problems.
Okay.
Suspenseful music
Suleimani.
And General Muhammad.
Hmm.
Whose car is that?
Facial?
The walk looks right.
Yeah, it's him.
Okay, let's go.
Okay. Move into position.
Move into position.
Come on.
I mean, anybody got
a fucking wrench?
Fuck.
suspenseful music
I'll tell Langley
it might happen tonight.
Okay. But let's not get anyone
too excited over there, yeah?
Yeah.
Where's Dagan? I
haven't seen him.
He's in shiva. His mother died.
Just us tonight.
Okay.
Now we wait.
Sarah.
Can I have everybody's
attention, please?
Hello?
If this happens tonight, I
want to show a little respect.
I don't want to see a
single person clapping,
I don't want to hear a
single person cheering.
We're all here for
our own reasons,
so let's keep it professional.
Anyone have any questions?
Where is he?
I don't know.
Yeah, they're
leaving without him.
Hello.
pensive music
Facial?
Confirmed.
That's him.
Fourteen seconds.
Ten seconds.
Proceed.
Seven seconds.
Six.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Target eliminated.
Evacuate everyone.
Evacuate all assets.
Must call the boss.
Meir, Teddy.
Teddy...
Jackpot. I repeat, jackpot.
Thank you, Lena.
We'll inform the President.
Nice work.
I hate this job.
That's because
you're good at it.
Overseas today,
we learned of the death
of one of the world's
most wanted terrorists.
Few Americans know his name,
but he's believed responsible
for the deaths of
hundreds of Americans.
He was himself killed under
mysterious circumstances
in a Damascus
bombing on Tuesday.
United States has
made no official
declaration of involvement
in Mughniyeh's death.
I don't know who ran
that operation, you know.
I'd buy and send them
a case of champagne
if I knew who actually did it.
I was sitting at home, and
saw that and just smiled.
People speculate the
United States and Israel
were involved.
And I wouldn't be in
a position at liberty
to say whether they
were or were not.
Frankly, there was...
It took too long.
And there's been too many things
between now and then that
I'm glad it happened,
and thank goodness.
Um...
But it doesn't
bring Bill Buckley back.
When he was killed,
people were sharing images
of how his face
appeared on the moon.
And suddenly you look
at pictures of the moon
with Imad Mughniyeh's face.
And you see it. You
actually see it.
It's Photoshopped.
Obviously, it's Photoshopped.
Uh, 'cause you look
at the actual moon,
you don't see Imad Mughniyeh.
But people didn't
want to believe that.
Imad Mughniyeh died,
and now he is looking
over us from the moon.
melancholic music
Give you a ride to the airport?
The embassy sent a car.
Your family must be happy.
They'll be sick of me very soon.
Sure.
Thank you.
Thank you.
For everything.
See you around.
Pensive music
he'd be uglier.
And that's Saada?
Yeah. And
Wissam, their son.
It was his idea
to go to Damascus
to save his parents' marriage.
- You saw this?
- Yeah.
He's never been so sloppy.
Mike, this is good.
Any idea where he is now, Lena?
Where he'll be tomorrow?
We have to get closer.
You and
your Mossad buddies?
They're

Teddy knows
Damascus very well.
I'll join you.
Well, Meir,

How long do

One week.
Hopefully longer next time.

Syria-Iran World Cup qualifier,
it just ended 0-0.

There.
That's Imad with Suleimani
and General Muhammad.
Facial?
Target confirmed.
Oh, my God, he's
walking with Imad.
There's our two-fer.
Fuck. She's right.
What?
- She's right.
- Teddy.
Teddy, what
the fuck are you doing?
We're out
of time. This is it.
Mike, we have a situation here.
Into position. Stand by.
We've got a visual on Imad,
but Suleimani's there.
Abort.
Lena, you have to abort.
I'm trying, but Dagan's here.
- Teddy, stop!
- Stand by.
Put me on speaker, loud.
Thirteen seconds.
This is a CIA operation.
Abort. I repeat, abort.
Ten seconds.
Mike, it's Meir Dagan.
It's a Mossad operation.
I take responsibility.
Seven, six.
I speak for the
President of the United States.
Abort, abort.
- That is an order.
- Four, three.
Abort!
Abort.
Meir, abort. That is an order.
We are not starting
a war with Iran.
Abort.
Fuck!
Fucking Americans.
- Lena, we good?
- Yeah, we're good.
You told me I
needed to trust you.
Well, fuck you, Teddy!
Hey.
Hey.
You know I had to do what I did.
If you say so.
Why do you think
General Muhammad
was with Imad and Suleimani?
I mean, I have an idea,
but I don't know for sure.
I have an idea, too,
but it's just a hunch.
I can't confirm anything.
What if I can get an extension?
I thought that was impossible.
How was your flight?
Exhausting.
- Wow. Nice digs.
- Yeah.
It's only till we get
his family to the States.
Then we'll stick 'em all in

They think we're all idiots for
tripping over our own rules.
Yeah, well, they used us, so
I don't care what they think.
He knows you're coming.
You have
traveled a long way.
Yeah, well, so have you.
Strange country.
Your family, do
they like America?
Yeah, sure.
There's something
you haven't told us.
I already have asylum.
It has to do with
your last job in Iran.
Deputy Defense Minister.
That must have been
very useful for Imad.
Depending on his intentions,
his strategic intentions.
Strategic?
You oversaw the WMD program.
I've told my whole
story time and again.
Chai?
Your story doesn't
have an ending.
Why don't you help me end it?
When we started this,
I had hopes.
I truly believed
that we were working together
for a dignified cause,
that Iran would become powerful
and even Lebanon
would become stronger.
You should have
left Lebanon alone.
You unleashed a cancer.
You sound exactly
like my daughter.
I think she will
like this country.
She will be happy
here, just like you.
I think Imad asked
you for something.
Before you left.
I need you to tell me
everything Imad said
regarding weapons
of mass destruction.
Confirmed. He'll
put it in writing.
Okay, I'll tell the White House.

- It was really a...
- I never...
Please.
I lost my mind.
I'm sorry.
Don't you think I knew
how high the stakes were?
We had a deal,
and I trusted you.
I know.
Don't ever do that to me again.
I won't.
Great job with Asgari.
Thanks.
Great job helping us
avoid a major fuck up.
You're welcome.
Ah...
Oh...
He's
coming tonight.
I see it.
It's
also the age, you know.
He's rebelling.
Proving himself,
causing problems.
Okay.
Suspenseful music
Suleimani.
And General Muhammad.
Hmm.
Whose car is that?
Facial?
The walk looks right.
Yeah, it's him.
Okay, let's go.
Okay. Move into position.
Move into position.
Come on.
I mean, anybody got
a fucking wrench?
Fuck.
suspenseful music
I'll tell Langley
it might happen tonight.
Okay. But let's not get anyone
too excited over there, yeah?
Yeah.
Where's Dagan? I
haven't seen him.
He's in shiva. His mother died.
Just us tonight.
Okay.
Now we wait.
Sarah.
Can I have everybody's
attention, please?
Hello?
If this happens tonight, I
want to show a little respect.
I don't want to see a
single person clapping,
I don't want to hear a
single person cheering.
We're all here for
our own reasons,
so let's keep it professional.
Anyone have any questions?
Where is he?
I don't know.
Yeah, they're
leaving without him.
Hello.

Facial?
Confirmed.
That's him.
Fourteen seconds.
Ten seconds.
Proceed.
Seven seconds.

Target eliminated.
Evacuate everyone.
Evacuate all assets.
Must call the boss.
Meir, Teddy.
Teddy...
Jackpot. I repeat, jackpot.
Thank you, Lena.
We'll inform the President.
Nice work.
I hate this job.
That's because
you're good at it.
Overseas today,
we learned of the death
of one of the world's
most wanted terrorists.
Few Americans know his name,
but he's believed responsible
for the deaths of
hundreds of Americans.
He was himself killed under
mysterious circumstances
in a Damascus
bombing on Tuesday.
United States has
made no official
declaration of involvement
in Mughniyeh's death.
I don't know who ran
that operation, you know.
I'd buy and send them
a case of champagne
if I knew who actually did it.
I was sitting at home, and
saw that and just smiled.
People speculate the
United States and Israel
were involved.
And I wouldn't be in
a position at liberty
to say whether they
were or were not.
Frankly, there was...
It took too long.
And there's been too many things
between now and then that
I'm glad it happened,
and thank goodness.
Um...
But it doesn't
bring Bill Buckley back.
When he was killed,
people were sharing images
of how his face
appeared on the moon.
And suddenly you look
at pictures of the moon
with Imad Mughniyeh's face.
And you see it. You
actually see it.
It's Photoshopped.
Obviously, it's Photoshopped.
Uh, 'cause you look
at the actual moon,
you don't see Imad Mughniyeh.
But people didn't
want to believe that.
Imad Mughniyeh died,
and now he is looking
over us from the moon.
melancholic music
Give you a ride to the airport?
The embassy sent a car.
Your family must be happy.
They'll be sick of me very soon.
Sure.
Thank you.
Thank you.
For everything.
See you around.
