Homeland (2011–…): Season 4, Episode 10 - 13 Hours in Islamabad - full transcript

Previously on Homeland-

We will strike
the heaviest blow...

at the crusaders
who occupy our country.

I need you to do something for me, Dennis.
It's going to be easy.

You had something to tell me?

The ambassador's husband,
he's working against you.

Take Mr. Boyd to the guardroom.
Hold him there.

No phone calls, no visitors,
no communication with anyone.

Martha. Martha, don't do this.
Let's go, sir.

What Haqqani wants
for Saul-

a prisoner exchange.



[ Carrie ] This is Haqqani's
entire command structure.

You give up these five, he basically
controls from here to Kabul.

Come on.

[ Martha ]
The prisoner exchange worked.

Saul Berenson is now
on his way back to the embassy.

[ Cell Phone Rings]

Yeah? It's Mira.

Deploy the marines. Get them out of
the embassy and to the blast site.

That's what she wanted to know.

Who?

Tasneem.

What did she want to know?

How Carrie Mathison got in
and out of the embassy.

- [ Martha ] What did you tell her?
- About the tunnel.



[ Haqqani] How long have
they flown over our homes.

Murdered our women and children?

We will drive them
from our skies.

We will show their crimes
to the world.

[ Military Radio Chatter]

Maneuvering on your position.

We 'll be setting up
for an engagement.

[ Martha ] It's Alice
in fucking Wonderland.

[ Man On Radio ]
PID confirmed. Engage. Engage.

- [ Carrie] Where are you? - [
Quinn ] I'm at a safe distance.

- Clipped an artery.
- [ Screams ]

[ Saul ] I know a way.

[ Speaking Farsi ]

[ Female Newscaster] First, the US
found and killed Osama bin Laden-

[ Crowd Shouting ]

[ Carrie ]
You will die over there!

[ Hillary Clinton ] Well, you can't
keep snakes in your backyard...

and expect them
only to bite your neighbors.

[ John Kerry] You know, there are
things that the Pakistanis have done,

as complicated
as the relationship has been...

[ Radio Beeping ]

[Man On Radio ]
Roger. I'll try and get eyes on.

- [ Carrie ] Oh, God.
- [Saul] I'm so sorry.

[ Brody]
I have to say good-bye now.

[ Carrie ]
Just for a few more seconds.

[ Men Shouting, Faint]

[ Shouting Continues] [ Man ] Ma'am.
Ma'am?

We're going to get you out of there.
Just stay calm.

Someone get me a crowbar.
Someone get me a crowbar.

[ Man ] Get the captain a crowbar.
[Carrie Panting ]

[ Soldier]
Coming up. Coming up, Captain.

- John. - [Saul ] Carrie.

Shit.

John. John. Fuck!
Carrie.

Fuck!
Carrie.

[ Gasping ] You're okay.

Let me see. Calm yourself down.
There we go.

This is an emergency. You'll
have to go through Dispatch.

Peter. I just heard what happened.
I can't reach Carrie or Saul.

We need to call the marines back.
Why?

Ambushing Saul's convoy
may have been a diversion...

to draw the marines
away from here.

Draw them away?
From the embassy.

The ISI know about the tunnel
under the Economics Section.

What? Which means anybody
could know by now.

- Which means we are essentially
defenseless. - Private, give me your comms.

Sir. How many marines were
deployed to the ambush site?

It's pretty much everyone
on the duty roster,

except us two and a couple
of men posted at the gate.

Marine Dispatch, this is Peter Quinn.
[Man ] Marine Dispatch.

Get me the CO who deployed to the ambush
site. You need to get to the vault.

Follow lockdown two protocols
till you get the all clear.

Private.
Sir.

- Stay with me.
- Yes, sir.

Let's go.

- This is Zero Alpha.
- What's the sitrep?

Convoy was hit by RPG fire.

Counted five KIAs so far.

Make that six.

Carrie Mathison, Saul Berenson?

They're okay.
Thank God.

Captain, I need your men
back with us here.

We have intel of a possible
attack on the embassy.

- When?
- Now.

It may be tied to your being off-site.
Copy that. On our way.

Let me know when you're close.

- Sergeant, listen up.
- [ Gunshots ]

[ Man ]
Fire! Fire!

Get down! Get down!

- What the fuck is happening? - [
Marine ] Roof line! Roof line!

- I can't hear you. Talk louder.
- The convoy's hit!

- We're pinned down by sniper fire!
- Where are you?

- [Sharp Groan ]
- [ Men Shouting ]

- Tell me where you are. - Four blocks
north of the embassy on Nursa Road.

How many gunmen?
Four or five at least.

We're taking casualties.
Hurry!

I'll send a sect/on.
Send a platoon!

All right, sit tight.
We're on our way.

What are you doing?

It can wait.

They're being overrun now.

Ten minutes.

Then you can make the call.

The Americans have insinuated themselves
long enough into our business.

It's time they get a dose
of their own medicine.

Haqqani.

He's part of this too, isn't he?

He is a terrorist.

He's killed dozens
of my soldiers on the border.

Only because you keep working
with the Americans.

Once they're gone, you won't
have to worry about Haqqani.

Are you really so naive?
Me?

I'm not the one who keeps insisting
the enemy is our friend.

We wait 10 minutes.

Then we call.

[ Quinn ] I'm checking the tunnel
now until the marines get back.

- How solid is the intel?
- Solid enough to start lockdown two.

All right.
Where's Martha now?

- In the vault with her husband. - Give us
a status report when you're down there.

Are you familiar with level-two
lockdown procedure?

More or less. Then I'll
let you brief the group.

Everyone, listen up.

We have a possible breach.

Prep all classified documents and
ciphers for immediate incineration,

and get ready
to crash your hard drives.

This is not a drill.

[ Chattering ]

What can I do?

We got bad guys in the building,
they're gonna want this.

What is it?
The crown jewels.

It's a recontact list
of all our assets here,

including those who identify and paint
targets for us in the tribal areas.

Why not just burn it now?

Sandy Bachman spent three years
building that network.

There must be
an off-site backup.

Sandy didn't trust DC.

Too many leaks.

What do you want me
to do with it?

You and me,
we're gonna get it to the vault.

Now?
Just let me dump this.

[Rapid Beeping]

[ Lock Clicks ]

[ Sharp Groan ]

[ Shouting In Foreign Language]

[ Clamoring I

- [ Moans]
- [Shouting Continues]

Go. go! Go!

[ Chattering ]

Who are you calling?

Hensleigh.

[ Cell Phone Ringing ]

Shit.

[ Chattering Continues, Faint]

Sir.

[ Man Breathing Raggedly]

Stand up.

Tell me who has the list.

What list?

The traitors who help you
to kill our women and children.

You're Muslim, yes?

Yes.

And yet you kill Muslims.

Does your family know
what you're doing here?

What you've done?

They know.

Well,

if you won't tell me
where to find the list,

this man will.

[ Haqqani On Radio Speaking
Foreign Language ]

[ Speaking Foreign Language]

[Whispering ]
What are they saying?

They're going to the embassy floor.
Why?

That's where the vault is.

Lockhart has a list they want.

Shit, we gotta get up there.

He didn't say how many men
they've got?

We'll find out soon enough.

You got him?

I got him.

Good.

Let's get a radio.

- [ Gunshots ]
- [Sharp Groan ]

I've got him!

[ Marine ]
Man over at 1:00!

Fuck! Same sniper keeps
changing position,

hitting us from that
construction site.

We're tied up on the other side.

It'd be helpful if you could lay down
some suppression fire,

keep him from sniping at us.

The guy's wearing a white pakol.

I'm no marksman.
I'll spot for you though.

We gave him what he wanted.

He got his commanders back.
Why hit us here?

It makes no sense. [ Saul ] We
don't even know it's Haqqani,

and if it is, we can't assume
he's a rational actor.

This isn't his endgame.

We'll sort it out later.

Movement on the site.
Third level down.

Far right pillar.

You got a target.
[ Groans ] Fuck.

He's setting up, Carrie.

See him?
Yeah.

Easy now.

[ Gunshots ]

Carrie. Carrie!
What are you doing?

I'm trying to kill the motherfucker
who's trying to kill us.

What do you think
I'm doing? Fuck.

[ Gunfire Continues]

Khan's garrison
is six klicks from here.

Those soldiers
should be here by now.

[ Martha ] I'm in the vault
with CIA Director Lockhart.

He was at the station
when it was overrun.

Yes, we're under attack. What the
hell do you think I've been saying?

We have heavily armed fighters
inside the compound.

Gunfire, casualties.

We need your immediate help.
Let me talk to him.

How about one of those
AC-130 gunships...

we delivered to you last month?

Goddamn it, General.
This is your country.

The safety of this embassy
is your responsibility.

I don't care what you have to do.
Just get them here!

What is the number for the prime
minister's chief of staff?

Martha.

[ Haqqani On Monitor]
Get on your knees. Knees.

Open the door.

We know you're in there.

[ Gasping, Exclaiming ]
Shh, shh.

I said open the door.

This is Ambassador Martha Boyd.

You are in violation
of international law.

Open the door.

The Pakistan Armed Forces
are on their way.

You will all be killed.

I will ask you
one more time only.

I can't do it.

I'm under strict protocol.

The door won't open
until I get an all-clear...

from the Diplomatic Security Command Center
in Washington.

Send out Mr. Lockhart.

He's not here.
Don't lie to me.

I'm not.

He has materials in his possession...
a certain list.

That's all I want.

Give it to me,
and no one else dies.

I told you, I can't do it.

Jesus fucking Christ.
You can execute them all.

There's not a damn thing I can do.

No, no, no.
Take me. Take me!

[Whimpering ]

Give me the list, or I will
kill her right here, right now.

Stop. Stop.

- I'm coming out.
- The hell are you doing?

What does it look like?

I'm giving him what he wants.
Are you fucking kidding me?

Open that door,
and we're all dead,

including the assets
on that list.

- You don't know that.
- I can damn well guess.

You have 10 seconds,
Mr. Lock/wart.

He's gonna cut her head off,
for Christ's sake.

It's a war, Andrew.

Well, I can't just stand here and watch.
Now move aside.

I won't.

Back the fuck off!

[ Beeping ]

What is this? It's on
a countdown, asshole.

Don't hurt her.

You hear me?
I'm coming out.

Open the door.

There's a timer.
It's on a countdown.

Forty-nine seconds, 48...

No games, Mr. Lock/rant

No, no.

No games.
You have my word.

[Whispering ] What's going on?

They're at the door to the vault.
Three hostages are down.

Haqqani has a knife
to the throat of the-

throat of the fourth.

What do we do?

They got this place
mapped out, right?

They knew about the tunnels
and the vault. Right.

That means they know about
the emergency stain/veil...

at the back
of the ambassador's office.

What are you thinking? I say
we chase them toward the exit.

There's only two of us.

This is a surgical strike.
It's not a suicide mission.

They'd rather run
than engage in firefight.

You sure?
No.

[ Beeping Continues]

[ Beeps] [ Lock Clicks ]

- [ Lock Clicks ]
- Shit.

Give it to him.

There.
Now let her go.

- [Speaks Foreign Language]
- [ Screams ]

Oh, no, no.

[ Haqqani ] Kill them all.

[ Gunfire Continues]

It's clear, sir.

[ Muttering In Foreign Language]

[ Sharp Groan ]

[Alarm Bell Ringing ]

[Alarm Continues]

Fuck!

[ Man ]
Just keep pressure on it.

[ Horn Honking ]

- [ Brakes Screech ]
- Backup's here.

[ Chattering ]

[ Horn Honking ]

[ Honking Continues]

My God.

Grim details continue
to emerge from Islamabad,

where the US embassy
was attacked earlier today.

In scenes reminiscent
of Benghazi, Libya,

gunmen overran parts
of the compound,

leaving as many
as 40 Amer/cans dead.

According to the Taliban,
the attack was in retaliation...

For drone stokes in the
northwest part of the country.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani army...

has sealed off the area
immediately surrounding the embassy...

and will provide security
at the site...

until order in the capital
is restored.

Although the attack is
believed... [ Phone Ringing ]

To be an isolated incident,
security measures at...

[TV Off]

[ Ringing Continues] You
want to take it or should I?

All yours.

Hello.

Yes, I'll hold.

You were mean.

All she wanted
was your approval,

and all you gave her
was a hard time.

I was training her, Max.

You could've
said something nice.

Just once.

Would've meant so much.

I wish I had.

Just a few words is all.

Because she was
really doing okay.

More than okay.

Carrie?
I need a moment.

I just got off with
the White House. And?

We're getting out of Pakistan.

President's decided to break off
diplomatic relations.

I can't say I'm surprised.

The attack
was clearly state-sponsored.

They've got blood on their hands.
Glad you feel that way...

because we're being evacuated
in the first wave tomorrow morning.

Not me. I'm staying behind.
I don't think so.

At least until we get as many of our assets
out of harm's way as possible.

Carrie-Haqqani will hunt
them down one by one.

Listen to me. The president
isn't comfortable...

with you representing
our interests here any longer,

in any capacity.

From now on, all covert operations
will be run out of Kabul station.

It's my fault.

I never should've
given over that list.

It was a tough call.

I'm not sure what
I would've done either.

Thank you for saying that.

What time's the transport?

0630.

[ Door Opens ]

You said you wanted to see me.
You said it was urgent.

I heard we're-
we're bugging out tomorrow.

You heard right.

What happens then?

You're officially taken into custody
and charged with treason.

I meant...
what happens to you?

Unclear.

I'm so sorry, Martha.
I really am.

Thirty-six people
lost their lives today.

What am I doing here, Dennis?

What do you want?

What do you want?

Give me your belt.

- What?
- Give me your belt.

I will do no such thing.
Think about it, Martha.

It could spare you
a lot of heartache.

You mean spare you.
Spare us both.

No trial, no sentencing,
no public hearing.

Dennis, stop.

Not to mention
what's best for Toby.

His father alive, for one thing.

A traitor? Locked up
in a supermax prison?

I don't think so.

Are we really having
this conversation?

We are.

You can't expect me to...
If anyone deserves to die today-

We are not having
this conversation.

It might even...

open a path
to saving your career.

Everybody at the State Department
knows how valuable you are.

- So?
- So,

if I never came home, the worst
of it can be swept under the rug.

Swept under the rug?
Why not?

These are the people who can
rewrite yesterdays weather.

You're serious?

You would actually-It's all
I've been thinking about.

It's the one good thing
that I can do now.

I don't know what to say.
Don't say anything.

Just let it happen.

My life's ruined.

Yours doesn't have to be.

No. No.

You know I'm right.

I can't. [ Exhales] You can.

It can't...

be my belt.

Mine's in the locker.
Top left.

Go get it, Martha.

Now bring it back here.

Bring it back.

Martha, please.

Let me do this one last thing
for my family.

[ Sniffling ]

Martha?

[ Sobs ]

[Quinn ] Come on. Focus.
I need a break.

Listen to me.
I put a bullet in Haissam Haqqani.

That means that right now he is
somewhere seeking medical attention,

likely in the same place
you were held before the exchange.

This is our last best chance
to get him...

before he melts
back into the FATA.

I told you.

I didn't see anything. I was hooded
the whole time. Not the whole time.

You said they took it off
to make a video.

The windows were blacked out.
I could've been anywhere.

Was it ground floor or higher?

I was led up some stairs.
How many flights?

At least two. So it could've
been an apartment then?

Maybe.
I don't know.

What about the boy with the bomb vest?
Had you seen him before?

No.

First time was in that room.

So he-he could've been
from here, a local kid?

Maybe from the madrassa
where we first saw Haqqani?

I don't know.

Never even knew his name.

[ Sighs ]

Okay, okay.

Okay.
[Clears Throat]

- Tell me about the phones again.
- What about them?

You said Haqqani
switched them out religiously.

A new burner was given to every man
every morning.

Like clockwork.

Was it the same make of phone
or a different one?

Oh, I don't know. Come on, Saul.
Try to remember.

This is important.
Sky Vega? Lenovo?

- HTC? -I can't remember
what I didn't know.

You had it in your hand!
You called Carrie with it.

I was in the mountains.
It was pitch-black out there.

You dialed her number. Did you
dial on a keypad or on a screen?

Oh, goddamn it, Saul.
Sit up and fucking remember!

Remember!

- I'm in the middle here.
- Of what?

Debriefing Saul. It looks more
like an interrogation to me.

Maybe it is.
Give him a break.

[ Sighs ]

In 72 hours, Haqqani
will be in the wind,

and Saul is the key to locating him
before he's smuggled out of Islamabad.

We're pulling out, Quinn,
suspending relations.

What are you talking about? The
warden system's been initiated,

and we're under
an evacuation order.

Do they not know
what went down here?

Do they not care?
They care.

And they can choose to just walk away?
Like that's an option?

We're handing Haqqani Afghanistan
on a platter. Fuck that!

No, not fuck that.

This time, we listen to them.
Why?

Because for once, they're right.

You don't believe that.

Our diplomatic immunity is gone,
our networks are blown,

and if you're right,
if Haqqani still is in the capital,

He's being protected
by an army of ISI officers.

No way we get to him now.
We have to try.

No. Hey, you're the
one who got me here.

You're the one who said all this
was important.

Well, guess what.
It is now.

You will die trying, or worse,
and I won't allow it.

The first transport leaves for the
airport tomorrow morning at 6:30.

You're on it.
Pack your things.

That is a direct order.

What was that about?

A difference of opinion.

You all right?

[ Sighs ] Not even close.

I'm old.

I've made a fool of my time.
You haven't.

Completely.

People are dead because of it.

I want you to know something.

The attack on the embassy,

it was Haqqani's plan all along.

From the very beginning.
Way before you were abducted.

That's why he went to such great lengths
to make us believe he was dead.

That's why he had Sandy Bachman
killed in the street.

Did you hear me, Saul?

It was Haqqani's plan all along.

Sergeant?

Which ones are the Talibs?

In the back, sir.

Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, sir.

Are you authorized
to be down here?

Just gonna take some pictures,
see if I can ID these motherfuckers.

You good?

Yes, sir.

[ Phone Beeps]

[ Beeps]

[ Beeps]

[ Sighs ]

Hello. May I speak
to Kourosh Sherazi?

Hello, Mr. Sherazi.
My name is Carrie Mathison.

I'm calling from the United States Embassy
in Islamabad, Pakistan,

regarding your daughter.

Yes. That's correct.

Fara Sherazi.

[ Breathing Raggedly]

[ Parvez]
Our so-called allies.

A day late and a dollar short.

[ Chattering ]

Fuck you too, asshole.

Right on schedule.

Thanks for this.

Not a word to Carrie, okay?

Okay.

Sure you don't want me with you?
You've done more than enough.

- See you stateside.
- You better.

[ Speaking Foreign Language]

[ Speakers: Man Singing
in Foreign Language ]

[ Foreign Language]

[ Both Speaking Urdu ]

Is too much.
You're gonna need it.

[ Clamoring ]

[ Crowd Shouting, Muffled ]

Fucking drive.

Stop.

Where is Haqqani?

I don't know.

Turn around.

[ Groans ]

[ Panting ]

Thanks.

What do you mean,
no sign of him?

He's nowhere on the embassy
grounds, I know that.

And you say he was in a
volatile state? Very.

I went so far as to put a guard
on his door.

What'd he do then,
go out the window?

Oh, for Christ's sake. The last
thing we need right now...

is another Ray Davis
wandering around Islamabad.

Or another Sandy Bachman.

Give me five days.
I'll bring him in.

I can't do that, Carrie.

Many, many more Americans
would be dead today if not for him.

We can't just leave him
in the cold.

Will this ever fucking end?

Five days, sir.

It'll be resolved by then,
one way or the other.

You do know he would be
without official cover?

I know that.
Both of you.

Five days.

So, we all here?

I don't think so, no.

If you're talking about Peter Quinn,
we're leaving without him.

Actually, I was talking
about my husband.

I haven't seen him all morning.

He's in the lead SUV, Martha.
He was brought up earlier.

He was?
Yeah.

He'll be traveling
to Washington in custody.

Good to know. [
Lockhart] Shall we?

Ma'am, this is you.
Give me a minute.

I'm not going.

Quinn?
Yeah.

He's crazy to think
he can get to Haqqani all by himself.

He could easily wind up dead
or in Adiala prison.

Comes a point at which
you're no longer responsible.

Well, I'm not there yet.

I know.

President's ordered
the Fifth Fleet into the Gulf.

I heard.
Could get out of hand.

Could?
[ Scoffs ]

I don't want to leave
without you.

I'm right on your heels, Saul.

Be very careful.

I will. I will.
