Homeland (2011–…): Season 4, Episode 9 - There's Something Else Going On - full transcript

Previously on Homeland-

[ Carrie- ] My pills-
someone tampered with them.

And what,
you think I did it?

Did you?
No.

- She has a history of mental illness.
- I didn't know.

She would have been on a plane right
now, back home, relieved of her post.

Abdul Zaheer.

Faysal Ahmad.

What Haqqani wants
for Saul.

This is Haqqani's
entire command structure.

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



- Carrie, it's me.
- I'm here.

I will not be a pawn...

in this prisoner exchange.

Escape or die.
Promise me.

I promise.

[ Carrie ] We're seeing some
Taliban presence in town.

- There are too many of them.
- What are you doing?

Too many.

No! I'm here.
I'm here.

And I am telling you
it is not hopeless.

There is a way.

So at the alleyway,
you're gonna take a right.

Okay, okay. I'm in.

[ Carrie On Phone]
Just keep moving.



- [ People Shouting ]
- Carrie-

You fucking lied to me!

Goddamn you!

Tell Haqqani
we'll meet his demands.

[ Carrie ]
I betrayed Saul.

How can saving someones life
be the wrong choice?

Nothing good can happen in this fucked-up
world that we've made for ourselves.

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

[ Carrie ] You said you had
something to tell me ?

The ambassador's husband.

He's working against you.

[ 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.

Ripped By mstoll

[ Man ] Abdul Zaheer,
commander, Paktia province.

Chief recruiter
of suicide bombers...

from the madrassas
of Quetta and Rawalpindi.

Faysal Ahmad, deputy
commander, Khost province.

Overseer of the heroin networks
of southeast Afghanistan.

Nafiz Jan, commander,
Sangin district.

Mustafa Hashmi, logistics
commander, Logar district.

And Amir Wasif, commander,
Wardak district.

Responsible for the attacks
on Karachi airport,

the Kabul Intercontinental Hotel
and the UN compound.

Sign here.

[ Soldier ]
All right, let's go.

Quinn just picked up
the Taliban prisoners.

- They'll be in Islamabad in two hours.
- Great.

- I'll tell the White House.
- And you'll warn them about Haqqani?

You mean him getting five of his top
commanders back isn't enough bad news?

I'm just saying,
give them a heads-up.

About what? A theory? That's
all you've got, isn't it?

Haqqani faked his death long before
Saul got on a plane to Pakistan.

Getting his men back was not part
of the original plan. It's a bonus.

It's a nightmare, as is this plan
you want me to warn everyone about,

even though you don't have
a clue what it is.

I'm working a source.

Right. Your new best
friend in the ISI.

Aasar Khan saved my life.

Then he risked his own
to give up Dennis Boyd.

But that's all
he gave you.

What about who's running Boyd inside the
ISI, or what they're cooking up together?

Khan was willing to identify the breach inside
our embassy, not betray his own people.

Or he's playing you.

Well, we'll know
when we talk to Boyd.

John.
Thanks for this.

I know you got things
to do and places to be.

So, uh, what's up?

I need your advice
on something.

It's a little delicate.
Grab a pew.

First, can we keep this between us?
Sure.

It's about
Sandy Bachman.

What about him?

He was developing quite a rep for
himself before he was killed.

Generating
some spectacular intel...

on Taliban positions
in the tribal areas.

True. Until he blew up
that wedding anyway.

Plus, his methodology
wasn't exactly kosher.

Turns out he was trading secrets
in exchange for the information.

Jesus .

We were wondering if you might
know something about that.

- Me? - He was your friend,
Dennis. He didn't have many.

Did you ever see him meeting
somebody you didn't recognize,

or carrying something out of
the embassy he shouldn't have?

I don't think so.
Not that I can recall anyway.

This is the problem.

The documents that he was
passing to the other side-

they came
from your wife's computer.

Martha's?

I'm afraid so.

You think
she gave them to him?

No.

You think I did?

Did you? [ Scoffs ]
You're kidding, right?

I don't know, Dennis.

Like I said,
Sandy was your friend.

Maybe he convinced you it was for
the war effort. It wasn't me, John.

You're sure? 'Cause if it was,
now's the time to come clean.

It wasn't me, I swear.

Okay.

Well, look, uh,

if you remember anything, let me know.
I will.

I'll, uh,
rack my brain.

And thanks.
Sure.

You hear that?

Thought we had him for a second.
We may still.

He's making a call.

[ Phone Beeping ]
[ Redmond ] Come on.

Do it.

[ Phone Beeps ]

Damn it.

Now what?

Thing is,
our evidence is weak.

If he's smart enough to know that,
he'll just keep stonewalling us.

So, one step at a time?

Yeah.

Let him sweat for a couple hours.
Then-

Then grab him again,
take it to the next level.

What are you doing?

[ Grunting ]

[ Speaks Foreign Language ]

[ Groaning ]

Let's go.

Hi.

Tell me we're doing
the right thing.

Right thing's
getting Saul back.

[ Dennis ] I already told
you I don't know anything.

[ Redmond ] Won't be five minutes.
[ Door Opens ]

Thanks, John.

Dennis, hi.

Hi.

I'd like you to look
at something.

Do you recognize
any of these?

I don't think so.
Should I?

They're the documents John
mentioned to you earlier.

The documents
from your wife's laptop.

The ones you stole for Sandy.
Excuse me?

You heard me.
I didn't steal anything.

You were the only one at the residence at
the time the documents were downloaded.

We synced up the computer
with your key card logs.

You want to register
your protest now, Dennis?

Demand a lawyer, wave the
Constitution in my face,

threaten me with the wrath
of your almighty wife?

Or do we just assume all that
crap and get on with it?

I'm an American citizen,
technically on American soil.

You are a traitor,
and I am the fucking CIA.

Huh.

You're not going anywhere until you tell
me who Sandy's contact was at the ISI.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
Yes, you do.

Because whoever it is,
is now running you.

And whoever it is had you break into
my apartment and switch out my meds.

Do you know
what these are?

Phenethylamine.

Otherwise known as 25i.

- Twice as potent as LSD.
- I had nothing to do with that.

I ended up wandering around Islamabad
in the middle of the night...

with no idea where I was
or what I was doing.

I'm-I'm gonna ask
for that lawyer now.

You poisoned me.
I could have died out there.

You think I'm gonna let you talk
to a lawyer? Sit the fuck down!

Huh.

[ Scoffs ]

All right.
Have it your way.

What are you doing?
I'm saying good night.

- You can’t just leave me here.
- Don't worry. I'll be back.

[ Saul Breathing Heavily ]

[ Breathes Heavily ]

[ Grunts]

[ Men Speaking
Foreign Language ]

Welcome back
to Islamabad.

I hope your journey
was not uncomfortable.

Now,
by the grace of God,

we will strike the heaviest blow at
the crusaders who occupy our country.

How long have they
flown over our homes,

bombed our weddings
and funerals,

murdered our women and children?

We will drive them
from our skies.

We will show their crimes
to the world.

This man, Saul Berenson,
chief of the CIA,

he, by the grace
of God,

will bring us back
our brothers.

They will march
with us to Kabul...

and raise the flag of God
over our country again.

[ All Shouting ]

Allahu Akbar!

Hello.
Carrie.

It's Mira.

Mira. Hi.

I've spoken
to Ambassador Boyd.

She said that it's all happening
tomorrow morning. Yes.

The White House
has given its blessing.

The other parties in the
exchange are already here.

By noon tomorrow,

Saul will be back
in the embassy.

You say that the White House has
given its blessing, but has the CIA?

Wh-What do you mean?

I know that giving up these people
for Saul is a loss. It's a bad loss.

I know you'll want
to turn it around.

Mira- I know what
the CIA 's like.

People are expendable,
even its own people. Mira,

listen to me.

Do not worry.

Lockhart is not running
the exchange tomorrow. I am.

I'm talking about you.

Carrie, you're so good.

You've become so good,
so... professional.

I know it makes
Saul proud, but...

be-before the CIA,
I'm asking you to remember...

just normal life...

and that I love him.

Saul, my husband.

Yes.

And I believe you do too.

Yes.

And I am begging you,
don't let him die.

Just don't let him die.
Just-

[ Door Closes ]

[ Angry Shouting ]

What's this?
Know who that is?

That's your friend,
Sandy Bachman.

My God.
Better look quick.

Soon he hasn't got a face.

You think
we behave badly?

This is how
the other side behaves.

These are the people that you're in bed with.
These are the people that you're spying for.

No.
Yes.

Killing
a CIA station chief?

That's a big deal, Dennis.
It's a very big deal.

Nobody, not even the ISI,
would do such a thing lightly.

It means that they are
protecting another agenda.

It means,
almost certainly,

American lives are at stake, either
here or in Afghanistan or back at home.

Do you understand what I'm telling you?
I'm not stupid.

Then start
fucking talking!

I can't tell you
what I don't know.

You passed state
secrets to Sandy,

you broke into
my apartment,

you dosed me with
a powerful hallucinogen-

- What else have you been asked to do?
- Nothing.

[ Exhales ]

You say that you understand,
but I don't think that you do.

This is a matter of
national security, Dennis.

You have no idea how much
discretion that gives me.

What do you mean? I can call in
a professional interrogator.

I can have you rendered to a black site.
No, you can't.

We don't do that anymore.
That policy was repudiated.

- Publicly it was.
- You're bluffing.

I am authorized to kill US citizens
on the battlefield, you motherfucker.

Don't think I can't do whatever is
required. Don't think that I won't.

Go to hell.

You know what, Dennis?
[ Scoffs ]

You just fucked yourself.

Wait, wait,
wh-what are you doing?

- What are you doing?
- This is my goddamn embassy.

Open that door!
[ Guard ] Ma'am, sorry.

Ma'am. Ma'am.

- Why is he in here?
- I'm questioning him.

You're what? I believe
he's involved-

You have no fucking right to question
anyone- anyone- in my embassy...

without my say-so.

Dennis, come with me.

You are finished here.

Do you understand?
You are finished everywhere.

She accused me
of spying for the ISI.

What? Apparently,
I'm in league...

with the people
that killed Sandy.

- You are?
- I am.

Did she produce
any evidence to support this?

Just threats
and accusations.

You're sure? Nothing specific?
Nothing.

Why do you ask?

Because it's unlikely they would have
invented something out of thin air.

You must've had contact
with someone they suspect.

- Any idea who that could be?
- No. Not offhand.

What about at the university? One of
your new students? Fellow professor?

Honestly, nobody.
Come on, Dennis.

There must be somebody.
Think.

You can tell me.

Even if you're having an
affair, you can tell me.

I'm not having an affair!
Jesus! Okay. Okay.

I'm just trying to help.

Listen, I've gotta deal with this
Saul business. Go. Go. I'll be fine.

Stay here.
Don't talk to anyone.

- And if Mathison tries anything again-
- I'll call you.

Do that.

[ Door Opens,
Closes ]

[ Elevator Bell Dings ]

He denies everything.

Fuck!
What did he say?

Nada. Zip.

It's like he knew
I was playing him.

Got to admit, part of me was
impressed he didn't fall for it.

- It's a hell of a time for him to
discover a backbone. - Isn't it?

I'll keep trying-

Excuse me. Briefing for the
exchange starts in 40 minutes.

Vehicles on standby.
We gotta go.

Bring Saul home.

Nothing out
of Dennis?

Let's just concentrate on getting
Saul back- I want you to stay here.

No. No, I need to be at the exchange.
Quinn-

I'll have Special Forces, two
security details. I'll be fine.

I called in a Global Hawk
from Bagram.

It'll be at 45,000 feet
in overwatch,

but I need you in the
ops room monitoring it.

What am I looking for? Anything
the ISI or Haqqani might try.

Maybe getting their guys
back and keeping Saul.

Maybe even killing Saul.
You think that's likely?

Don't know. But I know there's
something else going on.

I'll keep my eyes open.

[ Speaking
Foreign Language ]

Tea?
Very good.

[ Grunts, Sniffs ]

[ Slurping ]

[ Exhales ]

Sir. Mr. Boyd,
you need to stop.

[ Car Alarm Chirps ]
[ Door Locks Click ]

I'm sorry.
You can't leave the house.

What do you mean I can't?
For your own safety, sir.

I've got to get to my office. I've got to
pick up some papers. I'll be 20 minutes.

- I can't let you do that.
- Well, then come with me, man.

I need these papers.
I've got work to do.

I just can't sit around
this house all day-

Thank you, Sergeant.

What is this? I can't
even go to my office?

Why do you need to go there?
Why do you think?

I have essays to mark.
I don't believe you.

What's in the bag?

Nothing. Papers.

- Show me.
- Don't be ridiculous.

Sergeant.
Ma'am?

Give me Mr. Boyd's bag.
Are you kidding me?

Come on. Just- Co-

[ Scoffs ]
Clothes, passport, money.

Really?

Tell me what you're involved in,
or I will have you locked up.

I'm involved in nothing.
I've done nothing.

Dennis,

please stop lying.

I'm not lying.

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.

Don't do this, Martha!

[ Soldiers Speaking
In Urdu ]

Ms. Mathison.
Morning, General.

My deputy,
John Redmond.

Captain Franzen, who's in
charge of the prisoner escort.

Director Lookhart isn't with you?
Why should he be?

Is he not interested in the
safe return of Mr. Berenson?

Mr. Berenson was taken from an area
controlled by the ISI just like this.

- Is that why you brought your private
army? - Shall we get on with it?

Excuse me.
This is where we are.

And here- this area of the tarmac-
is where the exchange will happen.

And as you requested,
it has clear lines of sight...

and is not overlooked
by any building.

Where will your side be? This
hangar will be our staging point.

We will be in clear view
outside of it.

The CIA position
is here.

How will Mr. Berenson be
delivered to the exchange?

When we see the Taliban prisoners and
have confirmed their identities,

we will contact
Haqqani's representatives.

They will then deliver Mr.
Berenson to the point of exchange.

What assurance do we have that Haqqani
won't attempt to overrun the site...

once the prisoners arrive?

The Pakistani army controls
this site, not Mr. Haqqani.

It's Lockhart.
Mm-hmm.

Sir?

[ Redmond ] What about
the exchange itself?

[ Tasneem ] Haqqani's men will leave Mr.
Berenson here, [ Phone Vibrating ]

In plain sight,
then withdraw.

You will release the prisoners, who will
walk to the same point, unaccompanied.

- What is it?
- This doesn't feel right.

Once they are parallel
with Mr. Berenson-

- What do you mean?
- We're really exposed out here.

I heard the location met all the
specifications your side gave.

You heard?

You mean you didn't know?

I was shut out
of the planning.

- Is that unusual?
- You could say so.

Is there something
going on?

Some kind of double-cross?

[ Bunny ] No drone or
UAV will fly over-

For God's sake, tell me.

If we see one or hear
one, or hear of one,

Mr. Berenson
will not be returned.

[ Redmond ] And neither
will the prisoners.

But assuming
a successful handover,

may I remind you
of your agreement...

that the prisoners,
once exchanged- Mm-hmm.

Will remain within
Pakistani military custody.

This was
the preeminent condition...

that the White House and
Director Lockhart- Yeah.

Had agreed to.
Okay, will do.

Yes, of course. We do not want to see these
people on the street any more than you do.

Is there anything else,
Mr. Redmond?

[ Redmond ] If there is,
we all have radios,

the frequencies
are set and secure.

- Let's get on with it.
- I agree.

[ Panting ]

[ Speaking Foreign Language ]
[ Saul Grunts ]

No.

Fucking no.

Why don't you put it on?
Why don't you, you fucking coward?

He is happy to wear it,
Mr. Berenson,

because one year ago,

when you were
director of the CIA,

a drone killed
his father and brother.

He's happy to wear it.

[ Radio Chatter]

[ Hensleigh ] Peter?
Prisoners are on approach.

Show's about to begin.
Here we go.

[ Radio Chatter]

Bring them out.

Quinn,
do you see anything?

No, you're all clear.

[ Radio Chatter]

Your prisoners are here.

We see them.

Now we want to see Saul.

[ Speaking Urdu ]

[ Soldier On Radio ] Do not let the
vehicle get closer than 20 meters.

Quinn?

Perimeter's
still clear.

What are they
waiting for?

[ Radio Chatter
In Urdu ]

[ Grunting,
Speaking Foreign Language ]

- [ Shouts ]
- [ Saul Grunting ]

No.

Come. Let go.
[ Panting ]

You see Saul Berenson.
Let the prisoners go.

[ Carrie On Radio ] Not
until those men pull back.

They get in the van and drive
away, or the prisoners stay here.

[ Engine Revs ]

Who the fuck is that?
They left a kid behind.

[ Carrie ]
What's the boy doing there?

I don't know.

He has to leave too.

Bomb vest.
Jesus.

-[ Carrie ] Watch the prisoners.
- [ Redmond ] Get them on the ground!

[ Soldier Speaking Urdu ]

What the fuck is this?
A suicide vest?

We didn't know. Obviously,
Haqqani doesn't trust you.

You tell Haqqani
anything happens to Saul,

we execute the prisoners, right
here, right now. Tell him.

Who's got
the detonator?

Quinn, kid with the bomb vest
next to Saul.

[ Carrie On Radio ]
Find the detonator.

Could be anywhere. Everyone
has a damn cell phone.

The boy is insurance.

As soon as the prisoners
are free, he will leave with them.

What guarantees
do we have?

Haqqani will not kill
his own men.

That is your guarantee. But
you need to do this now. Now!

Okay.

Walk the prisoners.

[ Soldier Speaking Urdu ]

[ Soldier
Speaking Urdu ]

- Saul, don't.
- What's he doing?

- Stop the prisoners.
- Stop the prisoners!

Halt!

What the hell
is Berenson doing?

Come on.
[ Speaking Urdu ]

Maybe he doesn't
trust the boy.

The boy's not the problem.
Berenson is.

[ Soldier ]
Berenson!

You stand up! You stand
up or I'll do it!

Go on then!

[ Saul ] Do it! Fucking do it!

I'll send my men.
They'll get him to his feet.

No. You send soldiers,
Haqqani will blow the bomb.

I'll do it!

You stand up,
Berenson!

I will do it!
I will blow us all away!

Blow them to fucking hell! Blow
them to goddamn fucking hell!

- Berenson!
- Please, God!

Please, God, blow 'em to hell.
I'll go.

[ Saul ] Blow them to
fucking hell, please.

Blow 'em-
Okay. Just you.

You stand up, Berenson!
[ Boy Praying ]

I can't do it.
[ Soldier ] I will do it!

- [ Praying Continues ]
- I will blow us all away!

[ Soldier ]
You stand up now!

What is she doing?

She's trying to keep
this thing alive.

Saul?

Saul, it's me.

Saul, you gotta move.

Hey.
You need to move.

I want you to come with me.
No.

Saul.
What?

I promised Mira
I was bringing you home.

You think I want to go home?

You said this wouldn't happen.
You promised me no exchange.

I couldn't let you die.
It wasn't up to you. Wasn't your call.

You think I can live
with this?

I can't even look at it.

Saul, listen to me.
No, you listen.

Do not give them
those prisoners.

Do not give them one prisoner.
Just go.

I'm not leaving
without you.

Then we both die here.

Both?

What about the boy?
What about him?

He said his prayers. He thinks
he's going to fuckin' heaven.

He's a child.

They put the vest on him,
not us.

So that makes it okay?

Do you know
who you sound like?

Them.

Fourteen years of war,
and this is what it's come to?

Asking a child to blow you to kingdom come?
And for what?

For fucking what?

This is not who we are.

This is not
who you are.

Please.

Please.

[ Crying ]
Please, Saul.

Just get up.
Get up.

Goddamn it.
Goddamn it, get up.

Get up.

Please.
[ Sobs ]

[ Inhales, Sighs ]

No more dying.

I want to go home.

Come on.

John?

With you.

We're ready.

Send the prisoners.

[ Redmond ]
Walk them!

[ Cell Door Buzzes ]

The prisoner exchange worked.

A few hairy moments,

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

[ Sighs ]
That's good.

How did we end up here?

Martha,
listen to me.

Yes?

You know this
is all the fault of the CIA.

Ever since that wedding was
bombed, it's been the CIA.

Don't.
They are responsible.

They have no evidence
against me.

Stop. They're making
all this stuff up.

[ Cell Phone Ringing ]

[ Rings ]

Yeah?

Okay. Hang on.

It's Mira.

[ Sighs ]

It's me.

[ Rocket Whooshes ]

[ Man ] Heads up. We got
something going on.

[ Lockhart ] What was that?
Sounded like RPGs.

[ Lockhart ] Get Quinn. And
contact Carrie Mathison.

Sir, over here.

Embassy security cameras.
Where is that?

I-9. On the route
Mr. Berenson's convoy's taking.

Sir, there's no answer from Carrie.
Comms are down.

Convoy
must have been hit.

What the fuck?

What the fucking fuck?

How far is that?

About four blocks.

Deploy the marines.

Get them out of the embassy and
to the blast site right away.

Go!

Sergeant!

[ Banging ]

What's happening? Mr.
Berenson's convoys been hit.

Oh, my God.

The marines have left the embassy.
Mr. Lockhart's orders.

- Where is Lockhart?
- CIA ops room, ma'am.

- Martha, what's going on?
- Some kind of ambush.

Where? Out on the streets.
I have to go.

Wait. Where have
the marines gone?

- To give assistance.
- All of them?

Why not?

Dennis, why not?

That' s what she wanted to know.
Who?

Tasneem.

Tasneem is your contact?

What did she want to know?
Tell me.

How Carrie Mathison got in
and out of the embassy.

- What did you tell her?
- About the tunnel under the embassy.
