Numb3rs (2005–2010): Season 2, Episode 18 - All's Fair - full transcript

Hey.

Tomorrow.

After the interview.

It will all be done
by then, and, uh,

we can go on as planned.

Now, do they know I'm here?

Well, if they do...

Saida? Saida?

Saida? Saida!

Test that man for steroid use.

You know, Dad, um,
analysis of classic Sudoku



has revealed six
and a half sextillion

possible completed grids,
and five and a half billion

essentially different grids.

But none of that
is gonna help me

with this particular
problem I have.

Well, you could also save time

by using a program
to solve the puzzle.

Charlie, the object
of doing the puzzle

is to relax by wasting time.

Using a solution program
is relaxing for some people.

Charlie, are we still
on for lunch tomorrow?

I was meaning to tell you,

I, uh, I need to cancel

'cause I, I have an
appointment tomorrow.



Well, not necessarily
an appointment, but...

Might we say a date?

Uh, Susan Berry's in town. Ah.

So, uh, we'll just
reschedule, all right?

Okay.

Susan Berry? Wait, she
lives in London, right?

She does. She's a
neuroscientist there.

So what's she doing
in Los Angeles?

She's here on her book tour.

Book's called The
Neurology of Ecstasy.

Eppes. Oh, the old
nucleus accumbens, eh?

That's right, and she's invited
me to a reading on campus.

All right, on my way.

Hey guys, I gotta
go to work. Okay.

So say hi to Susan
for me. You got it.

I'll see you guys later. Make sure
you tell me what the score is, huh?

Okay. Dad, I'll
see you later, huh?

Yeah. So, it sounds like

you're still carrying a
torch for this woman.

Not at all, no. You know,
we're talking years ago.

I mean, I know, I know,
I don't... We're talking...

Yeah, well, what are we
talking? What happened?

Um, careers,

long distance.

It'll be great seeing her again.

Oh, definitely.

Nine, nine, nine.

Back off, Rainman.

Okay, thanks. Okay.

Victim's an Iraqi national.

She's a lawyer
named Saida Kafaji.

She was here in LA

participating in a documentary
about women's rights

in Muslim countries.

We got boot prints
in the dirt over here.

He must have jumped out
right as she was coming around.

No sign of the weapon yet.

Yeah, well, she fought him.

Well, not for long.

Throat was cut
right to the spine.

No hesitation marks,
looks professional.

Yeah, it ain't a wrong
place, wrong time, huh?

No, I think somebody just didn't
want her making that documentary.

I want you to cover her body.

Don, this is Nasreen
Kafaji, the victim's cousin.

She lives here, victim was
staying with her. Listen...

Please, cover her body!

I have been asking for an hour!

Okay, okay, Miss Kafaji,
come here for a second.

We need to collect evidence.

Now, are you the one
who found her here?

Some neighbor's dog, Don.

Oh, God.

I'm terribly sorry
for your loss,

but we're gonna
have to interview you.

Not until you cover her body!

She's been avoiding our
questions since we got here.

All right, well, make
sure she doesn't

go anywhere,
all right? All right.

Tommy, let's get a
sheet over her, huh?

We all use math every day.

To predict
weather, to tell time,

to handle money.

Math is more than
formulas and equations.

It's logic.

Math is more than
formulas and equations.

It's rationality.

It's using your mind to solve
the biggest mysteries we know.

The victim was an Iraqi
citizen here on a work visa

sponsored by the Women
For Peace and Justice.

They're making a documentary.

She was an activist? Definitely.

There were death
threats against her

by an extremist
cleric in Baghdad.

A Fatwa? Not officially.

I mean, the cleric who
threatened her is so extreme

the other ayatollahs want
nothing to do with him.

Well, officially, maybe they
want nothing to do with him,

but unofficially, he could
be doing their dirty work.

More rights under Saddam,

than with these
extremist clerics.

Iraq is a modern nation.

I am a Muslim, a
lawyer, a feminist,

and a patriot for Iraq.
Should I be beaten

because of a dress code?

Stoned to death for
saying what I think?

That was taped yesterday

in Altadena two hours
before she was killed.

Saida Kafaji was organizing
Muslim women internationally,

gaining political momentum.

In other words,
becoming a threat.

Guys, uh, meet Agent Allawi
from Immigration and Customs.

Or as we like to call it, ICE.

Now, your victim had an
ongoing fight in the press

with radical Shiite
cleric, Mustapha al-Badr.

Wouldn't it be more
convenient to kill her over there?

I mean, why do it
in the United States?

It's possible she was
fleeing, and they pursued her.

Or they wanted to send a message

that the West isn't
safe for women.

Uh-huh. And there's a mosque

right here in L.A., and
the sheik here on the left

has a strong connection to
al-Badr and Islamic radicals

living in California,

but, uh, you know, there's no way
of knowing who's capable of murder.

I may very well be
able to determine

who's ready to commit murder.

Logistic regression models.

Now, they can be used to
estimate the probabilities

of things like a
lightning striking,

and I can apply them
to these circumstances.

Charlie, just break
it down for the guy.

Hmm. For a bolt of lightning,

clouds must have
certain internal conditions.

Moisture, turbulence,
negative electrical charges.

Similarly, an individual's
internal conditions,

violent tendencies,
religious extremism,

and history with women,
can be quantified.

Now, I cross that inner
data with external conditions.

Loyalty to a radical cleric,

geographic location,
and financial pressure,

and we see where
the lightning strikes.

What I need is data

on Islamic radicals
living in California,

as well as on the
recent arrivals.

What kind of data? Colby.

Data on attacks by radicals

in the United States, and
well as in other countries.

I also need public information,

like arrests, age, ethnicity,

religion, length of time
in the United States.

Good. I'll interview the cousin
and... and... You speak Arabic?

Mmm-hmm. So why
don't you try leaning

on that sheik you
told us about, okay?

Why don't I do it? Let's see
how he responds to a woman.

Yeah, all right,
that's a good idea.

You can do that together.
I'll set up surveillance.

Actually, ICE has
him under surveillance.

Get me those tapes,
and we'll check them

against anything
Charlie comes up with.

And, Colby, why don't
you take the cell phone

and the boot prints, all right?

Yeah, you got it, Don.

That's a lot of poetry.

I'm a professor of
Arabic poetry at UCLA.

I need my cousin's body back.

In Islam, we bury our
dead within two days.

We have to do an autopsy.

There's no way around
it. I can promise you this,

I'll get her back to you
as soon as possible.

Can you tell me
a little about her?

I... I don't know.

She was out to change the world.

The death threats
just spurred her on.

She was fearless, even as a kid.

So, you two grew up together?

Yeah, my family left Iraq
during the first Gulf War.

We were like sisters as kids.

You think her enemies
in Iraq are responsible?

I don't know who is responsible.

She provoked a lot of people.

Can you give me a few names?

So, you're sure this Imam
has connections to Iraq?

Iraq, Iran,

Saudi Arabia, Syria.

Islamic radicalism
in Southern California

pretty much runs
through this mosque.

I'm Special Agent
Reeves, with the FBI.

We've come to speak
with you about Saida Kafaji.

Do you know who she is?

I do.

A reckless young woman.

So you condone the
death threats against her?

I know nothing about that.

But you do have followers

of Mustapha al-Badr
in this mosque?

Any sincere Muslim
can come here.

Saida Kafaji was
a sincere Muslim.

Do you feel any
obligation towards her?

Why do you assume I know
anything about her killing?

I know of no hatred
aimed toward Saida.

Would you tell me if you did?

Yeah.

Give me some good old-fashioned
redneck chauvinism any day.

Well, it actually ends up
being a great logistics problem

for the students to work on.

Yeah, we... we obviously
just won't give them

any of the classified
information.

Okay, well, I'll get volunteers.

Thanks, Amita, and, uh,
yeah, I'll be back in, like, a...

Like a half hour, uh, okay?

Okay.

"The nucleus accumbens,

"a tiny speck deep in
the middle of the brain,

"is the epicenter of ecstasy.

"So the insight of the
neurology of ecstasy

"is that the high of heroin,

"the rapture of orgasm,
the smell of money,

"are ultimately nothing
but trickles of a chemical

"deep inside the

"brain onto a tiny speck

"so ancient that we
share its basic circuitry

"with every living creature."

So for a good time, buy my book.

Excuse me one moment.

I will be back to
sign books and chat.

Okay? Just one minute.

Hello, Charlie. Hi.
Hey. How's it going?

Uh, you look exactly the same.

You look no different.

How's that at all possible?

You know, are you defying
certain laws of physics?

No, no. No. Are you sure?

I think you are.
Well, look at you,

all hip and distinguished,
Dr. Eppes. Yeah.

Driving these undergrads mad?

Sure. It's a constant struggle.

Hmm.

I have to work this crowd,

and then I have
to do an interview,

and then I have dinner
with my publishers.

Can we get a drink
after that? Yeah.

We're gonna lose
people. We gotta go. Okay.

You know what, I was
thinking dinner tomorrow night.

I'll... I'll cook something
for you. You'll cook?

Yeah. I'll clear the schedule.

It's great seeing
you. You look...

It's nice to see
you, too. Got to go.

I've missed you. No, really...

Hi.

Don. Hey.

Anything with the cell phone?

Yeah, it looks like she was
on a call when she was killed.

We traced it to a motel
in Hermosa Beach,

but it was a dead end.

All right. I got some names from
the cousin. People who spoke out

against Kafaji's organization.

I could use help running
those down. Okay.

Listen, Don, we found
a knife in a storm drain

about a block and a half
away from the crime scene.

Sent it off for a blood

and a DNA match, but
the size of the blade,

the shape of it,

I'm pretty sure we have
the murder weapon here.

All right, so?

Here's the thing. Boot
prints from the scene

and now this knife,

they're both military issue.

American military issue.

You're kidding.

Same stuff we
used in Afghanistan.

Same thing that's being
used in Iraq right now.

The thing is, you
can also buy it

in any army surplus store.

The American military
would never do this.

Yeah, these are
crazy times, Colby.

Does Saida have any connections
to the American military?

I don't know. Really?

She had a whole life in Iraq,

a life I didn't know
anything about.

Nasreen, look, I think there's
something you're not telling me.

You don't understand.

What I don't understand is why
would you withhold information

that would help us capture the guy
that killed her? Why would you do that?

She was killed right
here in my garden.

Okay, all right. I'll put a
24-hour guard on your door.

I will give you an
escort wherever you go.

We can protect you.

Now, I know she was a radical.

I just don't know what she
had to do with our military.

She was helping to
prosecute cases in Basra.

She was working
with the Americans.

A few weeks ago

she sent me this.

What does it say?

It says that an American soldier

is going to accompany
her from Basra

on March 27.

Colby, where are you?

I'm over here at Los Alamitos.

I got a buddy from Afghanistan

who works Criminal
Investigations here.

Saida Kafaji had an army
escort when she left Basra,

March 27.

See if you can find out who her
contact was there, would you?

Okay, sure. Yeah, I'll
see what I can do, Don.

You look like
crap in a suit, C.G.

Should have stayed in the
man's army, wear camis to work.

Yeah, well, while you're out
here in the middle of nowhere,

I work in civilization.

Did you get a chance to
look into Saida Kafaji for me?

She was a piece of work.

Spoke out against
pretty much everybody.

Player? Hard to say.

Why?

Her file's classified.

She has a military
intelligence file?

Yeah, and it's classified.

Well, you can
get into it, right?

Uh-uh.

FBI wants to see it,
you got to do it officially.

Look, I have US Army boot
prints at the crime scene.

The murder weapon
was a six-inch battle knife.

You really want me to
get into this officially?

Anybody can buy
a knife like that.

That's what I thought, too,

until I heard she
had a classified file.

I can give you a list of CID
personnel she worked with in Basra.

But that is all I can give you.

It's a start.

Come on, let's go choke
down some of my coffee.

It's the military aspect
complicates the politics

and therefore the
math, doesn't it?

The more information the
better, a problem like this.

So, we'll have the results
in a couple of hours.

Great. Uh, I'm gonna need
to cross-reference my findings

with the list you
all come up with.

Okay, well, you'll input,
and then we'll recalculate.

Great. That's great.

Hey.

What's going... I'm
sorry to interrupt.

You know, we're
meeting later tonight?

I do. This is the thing.

I have back-to-back
interviews all evening

with the L.A. Times Book Review.

And, um, Syzygy?

I don't know. One's for sales,

one's for street-cred.
Oh, look at you.

Uh, so I was wondering
if you could get away now.

Actually, I can't.

Uh, but you know what?

Just come with me.

Okay. Yeah.

It's weird that I came?

No, not at all. No, that's fine.

Did she say, "street-cred"?

Who is that?

Well, my hunch is that's the
old girlfriend, Susan Berry.

I've heard of her.

You know, they lived
together for nearly two years.

His very own Berry's Phase.

She's pretty.

Right, where were we?

You didn't want to go with her?

Huh? No, we're
meeting later tonight.

And, uh, I gotta work
on these boot prints.

Yeah, boot prints.

Charlie, are you
familiar with the work

of Petr Hlavacek?

Mmm-mmm

He's this obsessed Czech,

and from a shoe or shoe print,

he can read a person's
height, weight, physical ailments.

Physical ailments? Yeah.

He diagnosed syphilis in
Albrecht von Wallenstein

from his boots alone.

We need official
contact with the Army.

Get this, they have a
classified file on Saida Kafaji.

We can't get into
it any other way.

All right. I'll talk to Don.

And what about her cases?

We need higher
clearance for that, too.

All I have so far is a list

of CI officers that
were in Basra.

One of them, Lieutenant
Joseph Karnes.

He left Iraq in a military transport
the same day as our victim.

And where is he now?

Check this out. He's AWOL.

He's been AWOL since
the day of her murder.

Looks like we have
ourselves a suspect.

Karnes left Basra on March 27.

He was due back yesterday,
and nobody's heard from him.

He's been in Iraq for 18 months,

and he works in
Criminal Investigations.

I mean, he could be a witness
in one of Saida Kafaji's cases,

or he could have been
sent here to investigate her.

All I know is that whatever
he was doing for the army,

he's not doing it
anymore. Right.

Maybe they put him in
the wind for a job well done.

Now, if they want to
drop him off the map,

they wouldn't
designate him AWOL.

That means they're
looking for him, too.

Yeah, well, I'm not getting
any cooperation from them.

They want to know what we got.

My buddy was surprised when he
heard about the boot prints and the knife.

I don't think he knew
what to make of it.

Somebody does. I mean, can
your buddy help us any more?

No. They shut him down.

Well, then, Megan, you
should get with Allawi

before they shut him down, too.

We want to know if
any Iraqis in California

are involved in her case.

Witnesses to war crimes,

fugitives from prosecution,

that sort of thing,
right? On my way.

Can we get this
information to Charlie?

Where is Charlie, anyway?

♪

- That was delicious.
- Oh, thank you.

You're a good cook, Charlie.
When did that happen?

Well, I'm glad you
liked it. It's steak.

It's pretty simple.
Still, it's good.

Look at you living
in this house.

I own this house. Okay.

Yeah, let's make that distinction,
I own it. Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Isn't it weird how we're
suddenly just grownups?

Age has never really
meant much to me.

I... I don't know. I don't feel
any different than when I was...

Twenty-one.

I actually have been meaning
to mention something to you.

Um, I've been
working on something

called Cognitive
Emergence Theory.

And it's the math of,
of neurons creating...

Well, creating consciousness.

That's amazing. You think so?

Yeah, yeah, that's
amazing, Charlie.

Where are you
getting your data from?

Professor Quartz in
Neuroscience here. Yeah, yeah.

You remember? Uh-huh.

And I'm wondering,
how do you quantify

this state of grace you so
vividly describe in the book?

Um, EEGs,

testimony, observation.

Observation and
testimony. Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, the patient describes
his or her experience.

So the brain
biochemistry releases

simultaneous feelings of fear,

and joy and loss of self,

or at least a blurring
of the boundaries

between self and other.

Which, in turn,
results in a kind of awe.

I can see that.

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry. I, uh...

What...

Alan? ALAN: My...
My game got canceled.

I, uh, I didn't realize...
Remember Susan?

Hi, nice to see you
again. You, too, yeah.

Hello. Hi. Okay, great.

I'll be, uh, in there.

A-Actually, up there.

See you later.

So, um, okay.

Yeah, I haven't
aged much since 21.

You live with your dad.

He lives with me. Uh-huh.

No, seriously. Whatever.

I can't kick him out, you know?

Something is missing.
According to the crime report,

the killer took four
steps to the west,

he pivots, he takes
three steps to the east.

He was pacing.
Yeah, he's pacing,

then he hears her approach...

She was on the cell phone,

so he waited for her
to pass. Right, right.

And then he just...
He leaps from his lair.

Larry,

I don't think he
leapt from a lair.

And certainly, his knife was
not in the air like this, okay?

He pulled her into the
bushes from behind

and then cut her throat
in and out like that.

Okay.

They teach you that at Quantico?

Your taxpayer dollars at work.

If I could, please.

Do we know how
tall this guy was?

Yeah, he was 6'1",

190 pounds with
a shoe size of 11,

which matches the prints
we found at the scene.

Well, now, that's very
interesting, and I'll tell you why.

Because these
boot prints were lifted

from the gardening
soil behind the bushes.

And given the depth of this,

I'd say we're
looking at somebody

who's less than 190.

170, perhaps. Could
Karnes have lost weight?

I guess, yeah.

And given the distance
between these steps...

No, this is a person

maybe 5'9",

with a hip width of, I'm
gonna say, 16 inches.

Well, how accurate do
you think this thing is? The...

My math? It's very accurate.

But nevertheless,
something liminal hovers,

which I cannot quite...

No. It's just one of those.

It will not be forced.

If you'll excuse me,

my brain requires a
change of environment.

All right, I'm just gonna go
ahead and use your phone,

if you have one in here.

Colby, I just located Allawi.

Let me call you
back in a few minutes.

Hey, I'm sorry to pull
you out of the symphony.

You kidding me?

My wife drags me to this stuff.

I'm more of a
Radiohead kind of guy.

Really? So what's up?

Saida Kafaji was
working for the US military

in Basra as a lawyer.

Any idea what kind of
cases she'd be working on?

What do you mean,
"Working with the military"?

I don't really know.
They won't say.

Maybe something
for the war tribunal,

involving Republican
Guard war atrocities?

I mean, those bastards are
hiding out all over the world.

I mean, what kind of information

could she have stumbled upon

that the Army would
want to keep her quiet?

What do you have?

I have a military issued weapon,

and a boot print on the scene,

and her army handler
who arrived the same day

is now AWOL.

She could have
stumbled onto something

she wasn't supposed to see.

Now, my guys have access, we
can run down her military cases,

see what she was up to.

I got some Radiohead in the car.

Eureka.

Oh, my word, eureka!

Archimedes.

It's Archimedes all over again!

Archimedes!

Gold is denser than silver,

and thusly Archimedes proved

the crown was a
fake in the bathtub.

Okay, l-let me
call you right back.

But don't be fooled,

because this fraud
has nothing to do

with the principle of buoyancy

or the law of levers.

No, it's simply a poetic
leap, a moment of insight.

"Eureka." Precisely.

You know, since water is
so conducive to thinking,

it's a wonder we don't have
classes in swimming pools.

What's a fraud?

Leg length discrepancy.

But to demonstrate,

I'm going to have
to put on the boots.

Oh, water, such
a magical element.

Now, the person
who made these prints

has one leg slightly
shorter than the other.

Not really noticeable, but
just enough to cause him

to supinate with his right leg,

which puts pressure on
the outside of the print,

and to pronate with his
left foot, the longer limb,

which puts pressure
on the inside of the print.

Wait a minute, he... he'd
never get into the military.

This is not Joe Karnes.

He's being framed.
Good job, Doc.

You know, actually,
I'm feeling a little chilly.

Oh, where have
I left my clothing?

Yeah? Yeah, it's
an amazing view.

Wow. Come on in.

Yeah, this is a really
nice view. Beautiful.

What are you doing here?

The man who accompanied Saida
to America is named Joseph Karnes,

he's a lieutenant in
Criminal Investigations.

I need to know specifically
what she was working on

and who she was investigating,
and I need to know now.

Okay, please keep your
voice down. Come in.

Now, you said she
told you everything.

What, there was
no mention of him?

It's not what you think.

What, you had something
to do with her death?

No, why would you say that?

Because you have been
holding something from me

from the get-go, all right?

I know it, I can tell!

Now, people's lives could
be in danger here, Nasreen.

Anyone who helped her,
anyone who gave her information!

They met while they
were working together.

Yeah?

They fell in love.

What?

Joe and Saida were married.

They were married?

No one was supposed to know.

He wasn't a Muslim, our
family would never approve.

Saida knew that.

So, what, some sort of...

Honor killing? I don't know.

So, your family...

Saida and I were progressive,
our families are not.

They would kill
their own daughter?

It is deeply ingrained
in our culture.

Her father, her
mother, her brothers,

all of them would be
shunned because of her action.

I tracked her family, and
they weren't in the States.

There are surrogates.

Our families have many friends.

Married to a non-Muslim.

Put her life in danger.

Well, it's perceived as
a disgrace to the family.

I mean, it changes everything.

Where are we on locating Karnes?

I talked with the people
at the motel in Hermosa,

they recognized the photo,

but they said he
left two days ago,

so we're sweeping the
room for DNA and fingerprints.

We're pretty sure he
was on the phone with her

when she was killed.

He heard his wife being killed.

Which means he's
not our assailant.

And yet, now he's gone.

Someone's trying to
set him up, you know.

Which means they obviously
knew about the relationship.

So our murderer can
still be linked to the Fatwa

or the legal cases.

Yeah, I mean, people
that worked with them

would know they were a couple.

Yeah, it's hard to
keep that secret.

Who's motivated to frame him?

Her family, to restore honor.

Or somebody she was prosecuting.

Both of which could have
accomplices in Southern California.

So we're back to
hundreds of suspects again.

Well, no.

Because I took the 112 names
we came up with yesterday,

and applied Social
Image Typology

to generate a
more targeted list.

A list of possible murderers.

Now we pose the question,

"Who's most likely
to commit fraud?"

Fundamentalists believe
that God is behind them,

they're not gonna shift blame,
so we can eliminate them.

This wasn't a religious killing.

Can you be sure about that?

The most likely group
are career criminals.

See, because she was
killed here and not in Iraq,

this is an opportunity for
someone who lives here.

She was prosecuting war
criminals hiding outside Iraq.

And, you know, that's
been bothering me all along.

That, uh, you know, why would...

Why would anyone go
through all the trouble

to set up an
international murder

when you don't have to?

Some of these names

are in her legal cases, the
ex-Baathists, Saddam's men.

Professional criminals
with something personal

to gain from her death.

There's 18 names on
this list, that's still a lot.

So we're gonna leave
Karnes to the Army.

Saida?

Wait.

We know that Karnes is innocent.

And he's been gone since
the murder. I'm going to posit

that he's probably out to
avenge the murder of his wife.

And if I'm Karnes and
I'm trying to track the killer

but avoid the Army,
I'm gonna need cover.

A place to work out of...

A sympathetic ally.

Daniel Ratchet?

Who's asking?

I'm Special Agent Granger,
this is Agent Johnson,

we're from the FBI. You and
Joe Karnes, you enlisted together

and served in Iraq, am I right?

Yeah. So?

Have you heard from
him in the last few days?

No.

Okay, look, man, I just
want to talk to the guy.

I don't care that he's AWOL.

What do you want,
man? I haven't seen him.

All right, look, I served in
Afghanistan CID, the same as Joe.

I just want to help
him. Sure you do.

We know that Joe is innocent.

We're trying to
find Saida's killer.

We want the same thing Joe does,

but I need to talk to him

before he does something crazy.

If Joe kills somebody,
I can't help him.

Now, that bag, is
that really yours?

All the way up there?

How do you know he's innocent?

Mind if I come in?

Hey, go around the
back, go around the back!

Joe, run!

Joe, hang on, I just
want to talk to you, man!

Out of the way,
out of the way, FBI!

Look, I just want to
talk to you, man, okay?

Who are you, man?

We need to talk.

Just calm down, man.

I just wanna talk.

They killed my wife.

Who did?

Her family? Was it them?

An honor killing because
she married a non-Muslim?

An honor killing, maybe.

Not because of me.

They never knew we were married.

So, what do you mean then?

Saddam's son had
his men go to schools

to pick up girls for sex.

They raped hundreds of girls.

Everybody knew about it,

they were just too
terrified to speak up.

Except Saida.

She was one of the girls.

She was gonna testify

against the man who raped her,

at a war tribunal.

That's why we came here,

so she could give a deposition.

He slit her throat
because of it.

Just tell us who he is.

She was my wife,
I will handle this.

We're not gonna let you just
go out and murder someone.

I have to do this.
You know I do.

You are making stupid
decisions right now

because you're emotional.

Look, I'm just gonna lay
out your best option for you.

You work with our
team, we find this ass

and put him in jail,

and we'll do everything we can

to help straighten out things
between you and the Army

and get you back to your life.

I don't have a life.

Think about this for a minute.

You are AWOL, which
means you are going to jail,

and while you're sitting there,

the guy who did this to Saida,

he's gonna be getting away.

Ask yourself

what she would want you to do.

Can you square it with
the Army, so that I...

I can go to her funeral?

Yeah, I'll try.

But I need to know who
she was testifying against.

A Republican Guard
named Qari Qassim,

who worked for Saddam's son.

He raped her when she was 15.

Now, Qari is in Iraq,

but his cousin, Sami
Qassim, he is here.

It was Sami who did this.

Sami Qassim,

who was on Charlie's list.

Baathist war criminal,

Republican Guard,
missing since 2003.

We haven't been
able to locate him.

Well, we have hair and DNA
samples from the crime scene.

If we can find him,
we can match it.

Yeah, but this guy was able

to hide himself in
his own community.

Well, there's a
pretty good chance

no one really knows who he is.

Or they do, and they
support him anyway.

Well, you think it's worth
reaching out to the Imam again?

There's no way he's
gonna turn in Qassim.

Unless we can prove
Qassim isn't a sincere Muslim.

But how are we gonna do that?

Nasreen says she and her cousin

were like sisters
when they were kids.

My guess is, if she were raped,

I mean, Nasreen
would know, right?

And she could tell
Saida's story to the Imam?

What happened to Saida
disgraced her family.

No one cares about
what happened to her.

The Imam may even
hold her responsible.

Yeah? How do you know that?

I grew up in this culture.

The Imam will never
deliver this man to you,

not on the word of a woman.

But I think I can.

I think I can make
him come out of hiding.

What do you mean?

What if we had a
memorial service for Saida,

and let it be known that I'm
going to name Qassim in public?

You know, shame him.

No, I don't know about that now.

He is evil.

I am tired of being afraid.

My entire life I have been
afraid of men like him.

Look, how do you know you
can even get the word out to him?

The Imam.

They will send an
e-mail to the community

letting them know about
the service, and saying

that I'm going to speak
out, name names.

The Imam will want Qassim
to know that I am accusing him.

So what time's your flight?

4:00.4:00?

Yeah, and I should run.

But I wanted to
see you before I left.

You know, I have
a standing invitation

to lecture at Cambridge, so...

You know, I'm thinking of
taking them up on that offer.

Then we can really, really see
each other as often as we'd like.

Oh!

Charlie.

Oh, you know I adore you.

I just...

This has been lovely.

I see.

Okay.

Wow.

Oh, I know. I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You're not married, are you? No.

And you're not
engaged? No, not really.

Not really? Uh...

Well, I, uh...

Started seeing each other
a few months ago, and...

He has children,

whom I like, amazingly.

I probably shouldn't have...

With you, it just...
You know, it felt right.

I have no regrets.

None. No. No, nor do I.

I just hope I
didn't mislead you.

You know? I do adore you. I...

Let's get you to the airport.

Sami Qassim.

He was a leader in the
Republican Guard under Saddam.

This guy is brutal.

And he's got nothing to
lose, so we want to stop him

before he even makes
it into the mosque.

Now remember, our first priority

is to protect Nasreen Kafaji.

No matter what goes
down, you stay with her.

Qassim could have
accomplices we don't know about.

All right, let's do this.

All right, guys, let's go.

Let's hurry it up.

All right, Colby, we're about
two minutes out. How you doing?

There's no sign of him yet, Don.

We got guys in the
surrounding buildings,

on the ground, and two agents

by the entrance to the mosque

to escort her in
when she arrives.

Right.

And we swept the mosque
for bombs. It's clean inside.

Right. Copy that. See
you in a minute. Heads up.

So, when we pull
up, two of my guys

are gonna escort you inside.

Just let them guide you, okay?

Don't go off into the crowd,

I mean, if you see
someone you know.

Okay. I'm scared.

Oh, you'll be fine.

We've got agents
all over the place.

You with me?

All right, here we
go. Here we go.

Everyone in position. Let's go.

Keep those people back. They're
gettin' too close. Keep 'em back.

Shots fired. Primary hit.

Lock this place
down. Shoot him down.

FBI. Everybody,
get down, get down.

Get down, get
down on the ground!

What about inside the mosque?

All right, Sierra Team leader,
do we have eyes on the shooter?

Colby! On the right
side in the back! Let's go!

Get down!

Colby.

What's his status?

He's dead.

You okay? Did we get him?

Yeah, we got him. Are
you all right? You sure?

She's gonna be sore,
but she's gonna be okay.

I'm so sorry.

No.

No apologies.

You saved my life.

Oh...

The man who raped Saida,

he's still there.

He's still going
on with his life

and doing God knows what to who.

I'm going back to Iraq.

That's pretty brave.

I won't be alone.

Saida will be there with me.

What happened?

Huh? Oh. Uh, I don't know.

What do you mean, you don't
know? You're sitting right here.

Dad, those look good.

Yeah, well, next
time, you're the cook.

Well, that's not a good
idea, you know that.

What are you moping around
here all night? What's going on?

What do you want from me? Leave
me alone. I'm watching the game.

All of a sudden, you're
interested in the game?

Hey, Don, what's happening?
- Hey, Chuck.

Where's Susan?

She flew back to England.

You know, if I were you, I'd make
up some excuse to go see her,

because, well, that
girl was worth pursuing.

You know what? I don't want her

to get the wrong idea, you know.

What do you mean?
What's the wrong idea?

I'm really not that
serious about her.

I'm sorry.

What the hell does it take
for you to be interested?

Amita is beautiful, this girl's
a stunner. What do you need?

I think he just wants
to be the cutest in bed.

Shut up.

You got a neuroscientist
with a body like that.

Who's winning?

I don't know.
Apparently, not us.

Well, speak for yourself.
I've got a date tomorrow night.

Oh, yeah? With who?

With whom.

All right, with
whom? I'm not saying.

A caterer. I'm not saying.

I don't want to jinx it.

You guys have the worst
luck with the opposite sex.

I'm not gonna
jinx it. I resent that.

I don't have bad luck.

You have been on a
pretty bad losing streak.

What do you mean,
Charlie? Look at you.

Me? I got them coming
out of the woodwork.

Listen, all I wanna know is
when do I get grandchildren?

I mean, you try doing my
job and having a relationship.

You try.

Oh, woe is... woe
is Don. Poor Don.
