Homeland (2011–…): Season 4, Episode 6 - From A to B and Back Again - full transcript

Previously on Homeland-

Do I know you?

- No, but I knew your friend.
- Who's that?

Sandy Bachman.

Once you've done all I've
asked, you can leave Islamabad.

So what's the plan to find him?

I'm working on the nephew now, getting
him to admit Haqqani's actually alive.

He'd have to know he was risking
his life by telling you.

So this is
where you'll stay.

I thought- I thought
we were going to London.

You're safe here.



Farhad Ghazi.
He's Pakistani intelligence.

Don't say I never
did anything for you.

I'm at the airport.

I'm looking at Farhad Ghazi
as we speak.

- It's done.
- Good.

Can I touch you again?

Why don't you tell me just what
it is you're doing in there?

I'm recruiting someone.

Really? 'Cause to me it looks
like you're fucking a child.

What's it to you anyway?

Nothing.

I have to tell you something.
He is alive.

My uncle.

He's the only family
I have left.



Maneuvering
on your position.

We 'll be setting up
for an engagement.

It's Alice
in fucking Wonderland.

PID confirmed. Engage. Engage.

- Where are you?
- I'm at a safe distance.

Clipped an artery.

I know a way.

First, the US
found and killed Osama bin Laden-

You will die over there!

Well, you can't
keep snakes in your backyard...

and expect them
only to bite your neighbors.

You know, there are
things that the Pakistanis have done,

as complicated
as the relationship has been-

Roger. I'll try and get eyes on.

- Oh, God.
- I'm so sorry.

I have to say good-bye now.

Just for a few more seconds.

Ripped By mstoll

Who are you?
Who's asking?

Your name?
Badar Jalali.

From?
Rawalpindi.

Your father? Arman, a civil
engineer with the city.

Your mother?

Benazir.

You couldn't find
a less inflammatory name?

Focus.
I am.

On this.

You're a medical student?

Yes, at King's College
London.

Why leave your own country
to go to school in England?

What's wrong with Pakistan?

There is nothing wrong
with Pakistan.

There's just a thoracic
surgeon at King's College,

Chandler Brown, and I'm
hoping to study with him.

Is that true?
About the surgeon?

Well, he invented transcatheter
valve replacement, so-

Good answer then.

I'm quite resourceful.
You may not have noticed.

I noticed.

Open it.

This is a thousand pounds.

Not just.

Passport.
Yours.

We leave tonight.

Every day here is just another
chance for you to get caught.

Or something
to go wrong.

You're ready. You'll do fine.

I have a few things I need to
finish here before we head out.

- So do I. I have my stuff at the college.
- Just leave it.

It's all I have left. I can get in and out.
I've done it before.

No unnecessary risks.
Promise me.

We're almost there.

Good, you're here.

I'm not the one
who's never around.

Don't start, okay?

I've got something that may
require logistical support.

I'll need a small team, three or
four people, absolutely discreet.

For what? It involves
Haqqani's nephew.

So, I'm guessing clothing
is optional.

What is your fucking problem?
My problem?

My problem is that a surveillance
operation crashed and burned...

because you were
nowhere to be found.

Really? I seem to recall you
showing up on my doorstep.

Fine. Whatever you say,
Carrie. You're the boss.

You know what? Forget it. I'm gonna go find
somebody actually willing to do their job.

You got a second?

Where are you going?

I'm leaving.
I see that. Where?

London.

- London?
- Moving there.

For good?

How-How will you move to London?
Where will you stay?

With a friend.
A friend.

A journalist is helping me.

I thought it was a journalist
making your life difficult.

Not this one.

And you can't tell anyone.
Really, if anyone finds out-

So, you were just going to leave
without even saying good-bye?

That's not fair. How is it not fair?
Were you?

So, what am I supposed to do? Go
to your house? Knock on your door?

The whole reason I'm in this
situation is because of your father.

He made life impossible here.
He got me kicked out.

At least in London, I can still be
a doctor. I just- I have to go.

Take me with you.

I-I can't.

- Take me with you.
- No!

I have to go alone.

You mean with the journalist
who is helping you,

who you'll be staying with.

You don't understand.
She saved me.

She?

When did this happen? When did you
meet her? How did you meet her?

It doesn't matter. I just did.
And do you love her?

She arranged for me
to go to college in London.

Do you?

I've only known her
a short while.

I have to go, Kiran.

Good-bye.

Mr. Quinn, I was hoping
you could help, sir.

I wanted to give this to Redmond.
Nowhere to be found.

He was here. I can get it to him
when he comes back, if you want.

I should probably
leave a note.

Redmond had to bail me out the
other night, hence the apology.

Apparently, I was up in arms about
crazy-ass ball-breaking women.

My wife, obviously. Your boss,
Carrie Mathison. Her name came up.

A conversation you and I
have had before.

Well, I've had before.

You really just nod your head and
try to ease me off my barstool.

You about done there?

Oh, yeah, quite. Sorry.
Didn't mean to offend. Again.

So, is she?
Is who what?

Mathison- a crazy-ass
ball-breaker.

I heard rumors that she's
on her own planet.

Not like lovable eccentric.
I mean, hard-core chemical.

Him too.

Redmond gave me that exact same
empty stare when I asked him.

You spooks stick
together, huh?

Why don't you finish
your note, Dennis?

Peter?

You asked to be informed when Farhad
Ghazi landed in Johannesburg?

Did that happen?
Not quite.

- Plane arrived. He wasn't on it.
- You sure?

We had a team of four
there waiting.

Did Berenson actually
see him get on the plane?

Yeah, that was my impression.

Saul's en route to DC. Get him
for me when he touches down.

He needs to know this before
he briefs the director. Fuck.

Oh. Uh, note's all
taken care of. Thanks.

So, who was it that saw you?

I don't know. But he
definitely followed you?

I said I lost him.

- You're sure?
- Yes.

I don't think you know
how serious this is.

Not for me. For you.
I'm a foreigner.

There are limits on what they can do to me.
But you're a national.

If that was the ISI that you saw, the
same people who roughed you up before,

and they somehow know what we've got going
on, this time, there are no limits.

You will end up at the bottom of a hole.
Or worse.

We've got to push back
our departure.

No.
Just until things cool off.

- They won't.
- What do you mean?

What else happened?

When I was back in my room,
Kiran showed up.

What? Your friend from school?
More than friend. She was.

Did you tell her
that you're leaving?

I didn't have to.
She could just... see.

Did you say
where you're going?

That's why I think
we need to leave now.

I've got someone at security
in the airport.

They can give me a heads-up
if you're on the watch list.

But if you are, then what?
I don't know.

There's no safe way
to get you out of here.

My uncle.

If there's a problem, he can get me
across the border through Afghanistan.

And deliver you to England?

To the infidels.

Do you think he'll do that?

Listen, everything's not simple
like you say, okay?

He paid for my college.
He wants a life for me.

He will help.

Okay?

Are you still angry at me?

I'm not angry. I just-

I shouldn't have
let my guard down.

Shh.

Go! Go!

Go!

Was this really necessary?

You said you wanted it
to look convincing.

Convincing, not broken.

So, what's next?

Back to the embassy.

I meant for the kid.

We cross our fingers,
see where he goes.

Good you made it. What
happened to your nose?

He punched me.

Hold on a second.
Hey. We ready?

Yeah, everybody's at station.
How'd it go on your side?

He's on the move. This is Fara.
John Redmond.

Hi. And Max. He put
the tracker in place.

Well done.
You want to come with me?

No.
Max.

Yeah. Sure.

Hey, I need you to do
something for me.

What do you mean by tracking?
What's going on?

Aayan's passport has
a signaling antenna.

We're following him
to the border.

- You mean to his uncle.
- Well, that's the hope.

Why? Do you have some kind
of problem with that?

'Cause he's right
at the top of our kill list.

The uncle is, not the boy.

Well, we're targeting
the uncle.

With a 50-pound warhead?
I wouldn't want to be standing nearby.

Do you know what I'd like
to hear from you for once?

I'd like to hear you ask
how you can help our effort,

our collective fucking effort,
to make our country safe.

Do you think
you could manage that?

All I asked was what's
happening with Aayan.

No. You said “the boy,”

like he's some kindergartner
instead of a grown adult...

who's been smuggling drugs
to jihadists.

Do you know what else, actually,
since we're on the subject?

If you or Quinn, or you and Quinn,
have got problems with this,

with what I've done
with “the boy,”

none of it would have been necessary
if you had just done your job.

You were supposed
to recruit him.

I had to go in
after you fucked that up.

So now, if it doesn't offend your sense of right
and wrong, this is what I'd like you to do.

I'd like you to go
to the safe house,

bag anything that points
to him or us and remove it,

in case somebody noticed there was an
incident this morning and goes poking around.

Do you think
you could do that?

You think you could work a Hefty
bag in the service of our country,

so this whole operation
doesn't go bust?

There wouldn't be an operation
if it weren't for me.

I followed Aayan.
I found out Haqqani's alive.

So don't treat me
like I'm the enemy.

There's a car waiting
for you out front.

Text me when you're done.

So, how we doing?

We have a signal.
UAV is arriving overhead.

Well, what's the problem? Why are we dark?
No problem.

We're just waiting on you.
Lights up, please.

Reaper on video two.

That's the bus station
at Rawalpindi.

Where is he?
Max?

He's boarding at gate three.

Gate three is
00 to Karachi.

It's the wrong direction.

It's the wrong fucking direction.

Okay, hold on.
Gate four?

Gate four is Bannu.

His uncle has a training camp
near there, in Gosa.

He's on his way.

He's got a six-hour bus ride
ahead. Why don't you get some rest?

No, I'm fine.

There's a couch
in the next room.

I'll get you if anything happens.

Carrie.

Wake up.

Carrie.
What?

You need to get up.

- Is he already there?
- No. But something's happened.

Fuck.
They're checking papers.

Passport.

Badar Jalali. Badar Jalali.

Carrie.
Wait a minute.

We don't have a minute.
It's going south. It's not.

- No way he's prepped for this.
- I know. But-

I know him.
He's resourceful.

Fuck.
Wait.

Carrie.
Just wait.

Oh, good. You're still here.
Any luck?

Well, we still haven't found
Ghazi, if that's what you mean.

We're reviewing passenger manifests
for other flights he might have taken,

but, so far, nothing.
Well, keep looking.

Yeah, we will, but...
something else has come up.

I tried to contact Saul when he
landed in DC, like you said,

but he never got there.
What do you mean?

He's not at Langley. Check with his company's
London office. Maybe he laid over.

Already checked. He didn't.

Try his wife in New York.

I did.
Left a message anyway.

It's lunchtime there.
She's probably out.

Carrie may have a better number.
Ask her.

She's not available
at the moment.

Well, to me, anyway.

She's got something
going on in Ops 1.

No one's saying what.
Very need-to-know.

But I'm sure she'd be happy
to talk to you.

Give Langley a call. Ask them
to track the wife, Mira.

You sure?
Yeah.

And keep trying Saul.
He's gotta be somewhere.

Let me know when
they get back to you.

I think we're getting there.
Last stop.

What is that?
Can we get closer?

- It's a pay phone. Max?
- I'm on it.

- Come on. We need this.
- I said I'm on it.

- He's talking to someone.
- There's nothing on Telecard.

Try TF.

This won't go on forever.
I know.

We need to hear this.

- What's the number?
- I'll get it from the log.

It's Haqqani.

What did they say? They're meeting.

- Where?
- Where they went when he was a boy.

Yeah.

Hey, it's me.

Are you there?

Yeah, yeah. I'm here. I'm here.

I was so afraid I wouldn't
hear from you again.

No, I'm-I'm okay.
I got away.

Good.

Can you talk?

Well, I don't know
who might be listening.

But you're okay.

Well, they gave me 24 hours
to leave the country, but... yeah.

Listen.
I had a long ride.

I had a lot of time
to think, and- well-

all I thought
about was you.

You know, you-
you saved me.

Not once. Many times.
And...

I just-

I need you to know
that... I love you.

And I can't wait to see you again.

I love you too.

Delivery came for you
from your protégé.

Fara? Yeah. Looks like garbage
bags filled with trash.

Uh, leave it in my office.
I'll deal with it later.

So what do you think?

About what exactly?

You heard me talking to him.
Everyone did.

What do you think?

I think you don't care
what anyone thinks.

Say I do.

When you came back from DC, we
all thought Haqqani was dead.

We were ready to let him rest in peace
while he prepared to do God knows what.

Now we're about to get him for real.
You made that happen.

I guess that's what I think.

Mostly, anyway.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Ooh!

It's early for you, isn't it?
I'm turning over a new leaf. Up and at 'em.

You said you found something.
Several things, yeah.

I used the key you gave me to get
into Carrie Mathison's apartment.

Clozapine?

Clozapine, Clonazepam,
Nortriptyline, Lithium.

Her place
is a fucking pharmacy.

I'd say that the new station
chief is at least bipolar,

possibly beyond that.

You didn't know, did you?

Despite trying to make me believe that
you've got the whole place wired-

that no one breathes
without your knowing-

because you know what else
you don't know, I'm guessing?

That.

What?
That building, the yellow one.

It's a CIA safe house, set up by
the same nutburger station chief.

How do you know?

I followed
her sidekick here.

There was a big cleanup yesterday,
like the end of an operation.

I found these.

This is the guy who shot the wedding video.
Aayan Ibrahim.

Maybe not anymore.
Badar Jalali, 19.

Someone's traveling.

There were whole bags
of this shit there.

They've taken a major
interest in him.

You have a real gift for this.

I guess everyone's
good at something.

I need to take these to some people
right away. I'm sorry I can't stay.

These guys-
Who are they?

Sweep east.
Let's get a better look.

Okay, grab that, there.

And there.

The one in the middle
looks like Azir Makdeshi.

Okay, and check
that guy too.

Bashir Keshan. He's been one
of Haqqani's guys for years.

Do we recognize
those vehicles?

What are they doing?
Looks like nothing.

They're waiting. Haqqani
might be coming here.

This may be it.

What's our protocol?

If we engage, I don't see any
way to protect our asset.

These men are confirmed
associates of Haissam Haqqani.

If the target appears,
we will take him out.

- Alan Hensleigh- You seen him?
- No.

- Anybody seen Hensleigh?
- No, haven't seen him.

Hey, what does this mean, “Saul
never got on the plane”?

Just what it says. I couldn't find him.
Langley couldn’t either.

I checked. He never boarded his flight.
They removed his luggage.

So he's still here.
I guess.

When'd you find out?
Just now.

Couple hours ago. You should have
told me the second you knew.

Wider, please.

What are they looking at?

Is that him?
Is that Haqqani?

We need a positive ID. Continue
to sweep south-southeast.

- Carrie. - Hold on. We're right
in the middle of it here.

Saul's missing.
He never got on his plane.

We're getting
an image here. Zoom in.

- That's him right there.
- Mark and target.

Islamabad station,
we are eyes on three vehicles.

HVT is in sight confirmed,
Haissam Haqqani.

Lock target.
Time to go to war.

We're locking coords.
Arm.

Arming.

What the fuck?

Saul.

Holy fuck.

Take the shot.

- Take the shot.
- Carrie.

- We're losing our window.
- It's Saul.

Reaper 1, weapons away. That
is the ex-director of the CIA.

Do not shoot.

Goddamn it!
What did I say?

Miss Mathison.

Take the shot, goddamn it!
Wipe that fucker out!

Are you out of your mind?

That is Saul down there.

Saul.

Weapons tight.
We're standing down.

Which one should I follow?

Sir?
