Homeland (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 10 - New Normal - full transcript

Previously on Homeland.

It's beautiful, huh?
lt's a testing chamber.

It measures and records
the efficiency of the sarin.

We'll each have one of these
just in case.

Atropine limits
the effects of the gas.

Qasim, the blood
will be on your hands.

The blood
of women and children.

Whatever happens is Allah's will.

Maybe it's Allah's will
that you stop this.

Run.

(shouting)



(shouts, gasping)

She wanted me dead.

Anything to stop me from getting a
look at those hacked documents.

Anything to keep from being
exposed for what she truly is.

If Allison Carr
is a Russian agent,

you've got as much
to lose as we do.

Arguably more.

Aim is to deliver proof
of her treason.

Well, the BND is not gonna
humor us much longer.

If we don't drive her into the arms of
her handler, and soon, all bets are off.

She's on the move.

- ASTRID: Look.
- Who's that?

It's Ivan Krupin,
SVR Berlin station chief.

Send in the arrest teams now.



We're done, Allison.

We fucking lost.

No, we have not.

Now, listen to me very carefully.

(men shouting)

They just brought her in.
She's in Interrogation 2.

Who do you think
I've been getting my intel

about troop escalation
in Eastern Ukraine from?

It's been Ivan all along.

He was my Joe
for 12 years, Dar.

(woman speaking German)

CARRIE: Christ, I really thought
I left all this behind.

MAN: The Islamic State,
ISIS, proclaimed itself

to be a worldwide caliphate
with authority over-

Redraw the map
in the Middle East.

WOMAN: The soldiers are hackers, the battlefield
is online, and ifs not a matter of-

Edward Snowden is a coward.

...extremely disappointed that the
Russian government would take this step.

LAURA: It's against the law.
It's against the fucking law.

CARRIE: All that suffering
and nothing changes.

MAN:
Is our strategy working?

(phone recording: German)

{wrong number tones)
{phone recording: German)

(man speaking Russian)

SAUL:
I actually convinced myself

we were gonna change the world.

QUINN:
Carrie will never be free.

CARRIE: Spend my life on the
run, give up my daughter?

JONAS: I don't know how
you live with yourself.

AL-AMIN:
I will fight you forever.

CARRIE (whispering):
Who's after me?

JONAS: So many people, so
much blood on your hands.

(woman speaking German on PA)

(recording:
woman speaking German)

(woman speaking German on PA)

CARRIE:
She's lying, clearly.

Is she?

You don't run
to a Russian safe house

to bring your Russian agent
in from the cold.

I'm not sure there's a rule book
one is obliged to follow.

It defies logic.

She sabotaged your Syrian operation, Dar.
What more do you want?

Proof.

Well, how else
do you explain Lebanon,

the ambush of Peter Quinn,

the disappearance
of Ahmed Nazari?

I can't, but the fact is,

Ivan Krupin's in the next room,
and he's singing like a songbird.

He's not a defector! We fabricated
that story to flush Allison out.

I get that. But she's
telling a different story.

One I can’t just dismiss
out of hand.

It's a Hail Mary.

She's been a highly effective officer
for over 20 years, Carrie.

Her intelligence product’s been
nothing short of spectacular.

Yeah, of course it has.

Carefully curated
by Moscow Center

to do minimum damage
to Russian interests

and have maximum value
advancing her career.

Look, you've made your point.

But your part
in this play is over.

You need to go.

Saul?

-I'll call you.
- You're excused.

Why so quiet?
What are you thinking?

I'm thinking
she owned us, Dar.

Allison did.

Maybe so.

But you should
know something.

Ivan Krupin's just confirmed what
you’ve been saying all along.

That it was the SVR who brought
down General Youssefs plane.

It looks like you and Etai
are off the hook.

(chuckles)
Fuck me.

A win is a win, Saul.

Maybe you should
just accept it.

There's a political
consideration as well.

A Russian penetration
at this level

would be a scandal from which
the Agency might never recover.

I'm aware.

It's not like she gets
to keep her station here.

No, we send her back to Langley.

Turn the investigation over
to Counterintelligence.

I want one more shot at her first.

The damage is done, Saul.

We can't change what's happened,
but we can contain it.

I mean it, Dar.

She took me around the block.

If I can get her
to confess,

maybe we can run her back
against the Russians.

I don't have a problem with that.

You don't buy her story, do you?
Not for one second.

Someone was thinking fast
on her feet.

Is she gonna
get away with it?

It's out of my hands.

If she weren't so bloodless, you'd
really have to take your hat off to her.

Or your wig,
as the case may be.

Yeah. At least I won't
be wearing that anymore.

Now I have to figure out
what happened to Quinn.

What do you mean?
I thought he was with you.

He was. And then he wasn't.

How seriously was he hurt?
Pretty seriously.

And he refused to go
to a hospital.

When was this?

I don't- Nine days ago.
Nine days?

There's no record of him at
any emergency room or morgue.

He just disappeared.

What was his last location?

An om garage at me came: of Ritterskrasse
and Forster, near Grammar Park.

I'll backcheck security
cameras in the area.

Thank you.

(speaking German)

(Quinn gasping)

(door buzzes)

So?

So.

I have some questions.

Fire away.

- Shall we sit?
-I’d rather stand.

You seem angry, Allison.

Shouldn't I be the angry one?

I'm the aggrieved party here.

Then again,
you're angry by nature.

One of the angriest men
I've ever known, actually.

Is that right?

It's one of the things that
made me curious about you.

All that rage.

You told Dar Adal
you recruited Ivan Krupin in Iraq?

I did. Care to explain
how a junior officer

fails to report the recruitment
of a major asset up the chain?

I did report it.
Of course I did.

To?

Deputy Director Estes,

Baghdad station's
immediate supervisor.

- David Estes?
- Yes, David Estes.

Who happens to be dead.

Conveniently killed
in the 12/12 bombing at Langley.

“Conveniently.” I doubt
he'd share that assessment.

What'd he do with the information?

No idea.

We did discuss the string of operational
losses the Agency had suffered at that point,

so we decided
to keep the circle small.

Very small, apparently.
Just you and him?

I wouldn't know.
I assume so.

Either way, it would've
been his call.

After his death, uh,
you told no one else about it?

Source protection.

Ivan was understandably paranoid.

So I attributed his intel to my
other assets in Eastern Europe.

(chuckles)

That's it?

That was easy.

Oh, I'm not done.

No. And I
guarantee you this.

Not one thing about your life
from this moment forward will be easy.

I will personally see to that.

You tried to have Carrie killed.

Nonsense.

- She was your friend, Allison.
- You were my friend.

More than that.

Those butchered agents
in Cairo-

That was yours too, wasn't it?

What about Drew Sanders,
your Kiev deputy?

What'd he do to deserve a bullet in
the face at extremely close range?

Tell me, goddamn it.

- Or what, Saul? - He had a wife
and three kids, for Christ's sake.

Yeah, and guess what.
I'm still in touch with them.

I'm godmother
to their youngest, Kylie.

Slop! Bullshit! Bullshit!
You betrayed them all!

Fuck! And then you found
others to betray!

All those networks rolled up!
All those good people blown!

What do you think
happened to them?

What the fuck you think happened?
You are a fucking sociopath!

Let her go now!

ADAL:
Jesus Christ, Saul!

Put him in an office
and sit on him!

(gasping)

You okay?

I think so.

Can we get a doctor in here, please?
(coughing)

(speaking German)

Jonas, he's here.

Sorry, Otto,
I didn't know.

No, it's okay.
Who is here?

Faisal Marwan. One of the prisoners
released from Plotzensee Prison.

We've been trying to convince him to bring
a civil suit against the government.

He owned
an electronics store.

Sold cell phones to his neighbors,
some of whom made calls to Syria,

some of which were
intercepted by the CIA.

Next thing you know,
he's a terrorist mastermind

supplying communications
equipment to a jihadi network.

Let's take his deposition
in the large conference room.

I got to warn you,
he's nervous as hell.

He lost three years
of his life.

LAURA: Plus his
business and his home.

Injustice, misery.

What journalist
could resist?

I promised him the foundation
would cover his legal fees,

help with living expenses,
medical bills.

That okay?
That's totally okay.

Let me know how it goes.

That's everything
that happened to me

until I heard on the news that it was
the spies who had broken the law,

not me,

and that I was free.

Free, but with nothing.

Everything I had made
in my life was gone.

So now, after all
you've told us,

how do you feel
about Germany?

I was a good citizen.

I paid my taxes
and obeyed the laws.

I kept my side
of the bargain.

Germany didn't.

Thank you.
(inhales)

This is the deposition of Faisal Marwan,
given at the During Foundation.

That was great, Faisal.
Yeah.

The first step in making sure
what happened to you

never happens
to anyone else ever again.

Give us a moment.

Is it enough? Will we win?
Absolutely.

The evidence the authorities used to
arrest you was illegally obtained.

That's why your conviction
was overturned.

You have every right
to sue for damages.

Now, we have what we need,
but obviously,

the government's lawyers
will want a chance to respond.

What do you mean? Well, they
will want to question you too.

And it could get hostile.

For example, they could
ask if you are a radical.

Or how many radical
Islamists you know.

None.

Twenty-three people
with jihadi connections

bought phones or-or SIM cards
in your store.

Some multiple limes.
This man, um-

Hajik Zayd

bought phones from you
on five separate occasions.

You’re sure
you don't know him?

I heard his name.
That's all.

And you were in prison
with him.

So?

I don't know him.
I don't talk to him.

Knowing someone because you're
locked up with them isn't a crime,

but... trying to hide ii
makes you look bad.

Okay. I know Hajik.

JONAS: Did you hang out
with him in prison?

There are cameras
all over Plotzensee, Faisal.

The government
already knows the answer.

Okay.

Sometimes I was with him
and the other guys,

but for protection only.

And did you hear anyone talk about
jihad, about Syria, about operations?

People talk about Syria
all the time.

They talk about the caliphate,
about Assad, about-

I hear, but I don't listen.

Nothing else?

Once, I overheard about an attack
in Berlin, but mostly it was Syria.

What son of attack?

I don't know!

No, this is important, Faisal.

When?

A few months,
maybe a year ago.

No, when did they say
this-this attack would happen?

I don't know!

Maybe ii wasn't Berlin.

Maybe just big talk.

Mm-hmm.

Wh-What is it?

- Will this hurt my case?
- No.

Because you told us about it.

Say the truth, please.

She's right. Now that we
know, we can deal with it.

Your case is still strong.

(sniffs)

- I want to go home.
- Of course.

Sure.

Let me arrange a ride.

Faisal. Thank you.

Thank you.

Gunther will drive you home.

Please call me
if you need anything.

We'll be in touch
very soon.

I promise.

Look, it was jailhouse chatter.
Meaningless.

An attack in Berlin?
We can't just sit on that.

What are you suggesting? We turn him
back over to the federal police?

What are you suggesting?
I don't know.

Well-
Not that.

- Is Otto still here? - He's on a
plane to Munich. Back in the morning.

So we'll talk to him
tomorrow.

All right.

(footsteps)

(Sighs)

(phone buzzing)

♪♪ (on TV): ...were ravaged by the post-World
War I architects of the Middle East,

who tore apart the caliphate and made it
into countries ruled by man-made laws.

Our demands are simple.

Erase these borders from the maps,
remove them from our hearts

so that Muslims can once again
live freely in their lands.

So that by Allah's good grace,
his word can once again be highest.

We give the UN Security
Council 24 hours

to recognize the legitimacy
of our Islamic State.

Otherwise, a terrible justice will be
unleashed on a European city.

Many will die by an invisible
and merciless poison.

See for yourselves.

(gas hissing)

(breathing shakily)

(crowd murmuring)

(woman speaking
in German)

Can we have the room,
please?

You've seen the video?

Unbelievable.

Any downside in telling the Germans
ifs Peter Quinn?

None that I can see.

They'll find out
soon enough.

Come on then.

(chattering in German)

Catch us up.

We're coordinating with the federal
police to secure likely targets-

airports, train and bus stations,

major public buildings, including
synagogues and Jewish community centers.

What about watch lists?

High-priority individuals
are being rounded up.

But with the time frame,
we're not very optimistic.

To my ears, the 24 hours
sounded like a soft deadline.

We can hope, but we have
to prepare for the worst.

Meanwhile,
we're analyzing the video

for clues as to where
and when it was made.

We might be able
to help with that.

Please..

The victim is one of ours.

Last time I heard from him, he'd penetrated
a terrorist cell here in Berlin.

You might have said something.

I'm saying it now.

What he reported was a group of
jihadis on their way to Syria.

The leader had an uncle there, he
said, high up in the power structure-

Abu al-Qaduli.

The deputy emir?

Which means our masked man
might be his nephew.

- You get that?
- Got it.

One more thing. Your station
chief is asking to see you.

Stay here.

(door buzzes)

You wanted to see me?

The doctor told me
what's going on.

The gas in the video-
Was it sarin?

Ifs not confirmed,
but one would assume so, yes.

Why?
I had a thought.

So far, they've killed
only one man with the gas.

Who's to say they have enough
for a mass casualty attack?

At the very least, it's a question
we should know the answer to.

(door buzzes)

(door opens)

Allison says you're knowledgeable about
Syria's chemical weapon stockpile.

I, um,

might know something
about it, yes.

Ivan helped draft the framework agreement
between Russia and the United States

to eliminate those weapons.

Everything Assad declared-

over 1,300 tons
of lethal material-

was removed
and destroyed.

However, Assad did manage to
hold back some of his stockpile

in the declaration process,
did he not?

Inevitably.

-(sighs) -ls there a scenario
in which you could imagine

Islamic State fighters getting
their hands on any of it?

The Islamic State is threatening
to hit a European city.

We need to know if they
can deliver on that threat.

Six months ago,

the garrison at Tabqa Air Base
in northern Syria was overrun.

Our intelligence confirmed chemical
agents were being stored there.

What type
of chemical agents?

Drums of methyl
difluorophosphite.

The volatile component
of sarin.

- How many drums?
- Half a dozen.

At least.

If they have even
one drum of the stuff,

an attack here is gonna make Tokyo look
like a rehearsal for the real thing.

Am I under arrest?

It's something of an open
question at the moment.

Not according to Saul, it isn't.

I'm sure he regrets
what happened.

Listen, Dar. I'm not
asking you to believe me-

not yet anyway.

- But you don't want me on the
sidelines, not now. - Allison.

I'm not what Saul says. But even if I
were, nobody wants to see another Paris.

Give me a babysitter.
Put a LoJack on my ass.

I don't care.

This is my backyard, Dar.
I can help stop this thing.

(speaking German)

You seem anxious.

Aren't you?

You're talking
as if the attack is certain.

These governments might give in.

But they won't.
They can't, not now.

They'll posture and rant about how
evil we are and try to retaliate.

Then wh-why bother
with all this?

So that their people can blame
them for what's about to happen.

They might not listen to us
this time, or the next,

but the time after that,
sooner than they think,

they will realize that denying us will cost
them more than they're willing to pay.

- Danke.
- Danke.

Saul.

What the hell? Quinn.

I know. Awful.

Who is this group?
Do we know?

A Berlin cell.

Some released from Plotzensee
Prison, apparently.

Quinn fell in with them.
Fell in? How?

- No idea.
-lt doesn't make any sense.

He was in no shape
to go anywhere.

SAUL: Well, Dar's the
one who saw him last.

And-And the video-
When was it made?

It wasn't a live broadcast, so,

best guess, sometime
in the last few days.

We're in the process
of analyzing it.

I need to see it. And not just the
sanitized version they're showing on TV.

Carrie-
From beginning to end.

He could be signaling.
I knew him. I might-

I might notice something.

Could use the help.

I want these motherfuckers stopped,
same as you.

All right. We'll talk later.

- Where are you going?
- All hands on deck.

Does that include Allison? I just
saw her leave with Dar Adal.

Afraid so.
Jesus Christ, Saul!

Tell me about it.

Come on. Let's go.

(breathing deeply)

ASTRID:
You're ready?

It's pretty rough.

(gasping)

(grunting)

(breathing shakily)

(Carrie crying)

Wait. Go back.

There-There's, um,

some kind of floor tiles.

Yeah. We're on it already.

Oh, God.

(inhales, exhales)

Okay, again.

MAN: Saul, what's the best way to get
a private message to al-Baghdadi?

I'm not sure we have a way.

And even if we did,
what would we say?

Don't fuck with us.
Or what?

Our only leverage
is boots on the ground.

There's no bigger proponent of an American
invasion than the Islamic State itself.

ADAL: It could be argued that
that's what they want here-

to draw us into another
hot war in the Middle East.

Listen, Joe, it's unrealistic to think

we're going to have actionable
intelligence by the 5:00 deadline.

Can the president buy us some
time with the Security Council?

It's doubtful.

He's on the phone now with the chancellor
and the British prime minister.

They are not
in an appeasing mood.

A joint statement is scheduled
for 9:00 AM your time.

Are they planning to identify
Berlin as the likely target?

No, they are not.

Joe, we should be
warning people here.

We haven't faced anything
on this scale since 9/11.

The idea was raised
and rejected.

Why?

You know why.

We can't give these assholes license
to send our cities into mass panic

anytime they feel like it.

It's the new normal, gentlemen.

(Sighs)

(door opens)

The BND just identified a nephew of
Abu al-Qaduli living in Germany.

His name's Bibi Hamed.

Thirty-two years old. Born in
Hamburg to Syrian immigrants.

- Where is he now?
- Unclear.

Apparently, Deutsche
Telecom is reporting

his cell service has been
discontinued for over a year.

Gone to ground'?
Looks that way.

The federal police are feeding his photo
into their CCTV facial recognition system.

Yeah, fingers crossed.
Yeah.

Meanwhile, we're checking to see if any of our
people can confirm his presence in Berlin.

Combing undead files,
revisiting old cases.

Thanks.

Uh-uh. Need anything else
before I get back to it?

Saul?

Excuse me.

I'm just saying, let the
police talk to Marwan.

Let them decide
if his information is relevant.

The same people who imprisoned
him in the first place?

You want to traumatize him
all over again?

He is a cooperating witness who may
know something about an attack.

We got him to talk
by promising to protect him.

We can't just sell him down the
river at the first sign of trouble.

If Berlin is hit and we did nothing,
we are culpable.

We have
a responsibility.

What about our
responsibility to Marwan?

Your responsibility?

You’re his lawyer. Aren't you supposed
to look out for his interests?

This has gone beyond lawyers and interests.
You saw the man in the video.

You want thousands to die
like that, in agony?

Fifteen years ago,
my country was attacked.

And thousands did die.

Every bit as horrible
as that video.

And we wanted to get the
bastards who hurt us, so we did.

We started two wars.

Tens of thousands of people
died on both sides.

And for what?

We're still killing them, they're
still coming after us, and on and on.

Nice speech, Laura. However, it
has nothing to do with Marwan.

Really?

I was in Kreuzberg
early this morning.

The police are already rounding up
Muslim men outside the mosques.

Anyone with a skullcap.

I got him out
just in time.

You did what?

- Where is he?
- Here.

In what I presume
is a safe place.

Give me a minute, please.

Please.

(phone beeps)

(beeping)
(door closes)

(line ringing)

(phone ringing)

Berenson. Mr. Berenson. This
is Otto During speaking.

Not a good time.
We have a situation.

I'm calling about that situation.

What is it?

You know my foundation
does outreach work

with the Muslim communities
here in Berlin.

Yes.
In the course of this work,

we have come across an individual who
may have information about the attack.

What individual?

Will you give me your word
that he'll be treated fairly?

He's already suffered
at the hands of the authorities.

You mean he's been arrested before?
Yeah. Wrongly.

What's the information?

First, I need your promise
that he will not be arrested

and that his lawyer can be
present during all questioning.

I'm serious, Mr. Berenson.

You owe me this.

You have my word.
Where is he?

- In my care.
- Bring him in right now. Please.

Yeah. I will.

(phone beeps)

(speaking German)

ASTRID: Hey, don't be
so hard on yourself.

It was worth a try.

He just didn't have enough
time to send a signal.

He told me
to leave it alone.

He wanted me
to get out of Berlin.

If only I'd listened.
Carrie.

No, it's true.

Quinn never did anything
he didn't want to.

That's the truth.

He was a complete
pain in the ass that way.

Stubborn as a mule.

Beautiful too.

(door opens) Something
on the floor tiles.

They're distinctive and probably part
of a mosaic of some kind.

Well, that's encouraging.
We thought so too.

Unfortunately, the artisan who
created the mosaics was prolific.

More than 1,500 buildings
in Berlin feature his work.

4.500.
-l'm afraid so.

We've got less
than 12 hours. Shit.

Can you post the addresses of these
buildings on a map of the city?

Of course. Why?

There's an algorithm JSOC used in
Baghdad to track down insurgents.

Any hits yet on the FRS
search for Bibi Hamed?

As a matter of fact, yes.
And not only facial recognition.

We've got locations where he's used his
credit card and made ATM withdrawals.

Recently?
- Three months back.

Then no activity at all.

These are the confirmed sightings
in the last 120 days.

Now show me
the last 60 clays.

- Okay, now what? - Overlay the
location of all those buildings.

See if we can narrow the search grid.
Right.

(beeping)

If Bibi's who we think he is, probability
is high that our building's somewhere

within these seven
square kilometers.

That's only 39 addresses.

Let's take this to Adler, get
him to authorize search teams.

(speaking German)

Bibi!

(stammering prayer)

Bibi-

Okay, no worries. Just remember
everything we talked about.

I think you're
gonna be fine.

- You're really doing this.
- I received guarantees.

Think they're worth anything?

I trust the man
who made them.

Jonas will be with Marwan
through the whole process.

- Fuck me.
-(speaking German)

No! No! No!
What's happening?

What's happening? You said
I wouldn't be arrested!

(men shouting in German)

CIA, Saul Berenson.
(German)

Guarantees.

Actually, it's kind of comforting.

What?
This.

You.

Following me around.

I want you to know

I don't believe what
they're saying about you.

None of us do.

Thanks, Con.
That means a lot.

(phone ringing)

(speaking German)

Gut.

Over half the locations cleared.
Nothing yet.

Shall we?

(whispering)
Carrie. Over here.

(Astrid speaking German)

(phone beeps)

Carrie, what are you doing? If that's
Peter, his body's contaminated with sarin.

It's not him.

Quinn.

(German)

(crying)

Astrid, he just moved.

That's impossible, Carrie.

He did. I saw it!

He's alive.

(German)

You got something
to tell me, Qasim?

You were always
so studious, so pious.

I thought your faith
would give you strength,

but I was wrong.

And Zaheer had to pay
for my mistake.

You switched my kit.

Because you're blood,
and Zaheer is not.

Bibi, I-
Shut up.

From now on, you don't talk,
you don't think. You just listen.

Because the next time you do
something without my consent

will be your last.
