Rubicon (2010–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Wayward Sons - full transcript
No chance he just skipped town?
No, no.
And Travers?
Alive and well.
He just left his apartment
a few minutes ago.
We need to put the
operation on hold,
at least until we iron
out this... wrinkle.
We're past that.
We couldn't stop this
now if we wanted to.
This is out of control,
this whole situation.
Do not mistake fluidity for chaos.
There is no jeopardy here.
Just sit tight.
Sit tight?
You pretentious son of a bitch.
This whole business
has been one sloppy
mistake after another!
The train crash, Katherine-
Travers knows our names,
for Christ's sake!
Travers is under control.
You left us exposed!
Calm down.
Both of you.
Stop it!
Yes?
When?
Are they already there?
Good. I'll be over...
20 minutes.
I have to go.
It's started.
What about Travers?
He'll be handled.
Oh, sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Someone tried to
kill me last night.
What happened?
Listen, you're in danger here.
Is there someplace
else you can go?
Uh, I don't know.
Uh, a hotel?
Hotel, that's fine.
Let's get you in a hotel.
I- I found something.
A note from Tom.
What does it say?
Well...
He says he hopes I'll continue
to celebrate our
wedding anniversary.
How'd you celebrate
your anniversary?
What'd you do? Nothing.
Most years, we just had
a meal and then we...
We watched the same movie we...
Saw together on our first date.
What movie?
Meet me in St. Louis.
Do you have it? Somewhere.
It's probably in storage.
We need to find it.
Find that movie.
Hello?
You need to get in here.
Is that safe?
It's the safest place you can be.
Besides, we need you doing
your regular job today.
Okay.
Listen, I'm with our friend.
She needs someplace secure-
how about a hotel?
No. No hotel.
I'll take care of her;
Just get here.
What the hell is
going on out there?
Half of Washington is here.
We had a situation.
Several, in fact.
You know my garage on 8th street?
Mm-hmm.
I need you there in one hour.
I'm not gonna waste your time-
as you've probably gathered,
we have a known Al Qaeda operative
inside the United States,
and a tidal wave
of chatter that makes it pretty
clear he's not here on vacation.
Kateb, also known as
Joseph or Joe Purcell,
crossed the border two
days ago in el Paso
using his own passport.
27 years old,
five feet 11, blue eyes,
grew up in new Jersey;
He's an American citizen.
We are all hands on deck...
Until this boy is in handcuffs
or a body bag.
We are also moving to
protocol delta four.
So we've got enhanced
clearance authorization
and a blank check.
Not to be an alarmist...
this could be Times Square,
are we clear?
This could be the Statue
of Liber... this could be
golden gate bridge.
Sullivan,
you and team D are
assigned to support TSA,
in case this boy tries
to get on an airplane.
Travers, I'm sending
you and Grant Test
with the FBI to harbor beach,
new Jersey... setting up a
temporary field office there
to interview some of
Kateb's friends and family.
Team g, going to be
working with NSA.
That's all I have for now.
Odds are he's gonna do
whatever he's gonna do
20 P.M. New York time.
Today, tomorrow, the next day...
Exactly. Who the hell knows?
Why is Spangler
having me take Grant?
It's unclear. Do you trust him?
Grant? Yeah.
Yes. Good.
Do you?
Oh, I don't trust anyone.
How are we doing with our friend?
I'm taking care of her.
Ant, you and I are headed
to harbor beach, new Jersey.
We are gonna meet some of
Kateb's nearest and dearest.
Miles, I need you, Julia,
Tanya, put your heads together
and figure out what
this guy's up to, okay?
What happened to your head?
Nothing.
Will Travers? Yes.
I'm special Agent Madero.
This is Agent Tompkins. FBI.
I'm your...
Baby-sitter.
Great. Well, this is Grant Test,
and he's going to be
accompanying us, so we'll meet
you downstairs in five minutes.
My orders are
not to let you out of my sight.
Okay. Well, then you'll
have to look at us
through the window 'cause our
work here is highly classified.
I'll wait in the hallway.
Thank you.
Miles, you have any thoughts?
Hi. I need, uh,
two hotter than hell dogs,
three bodacious beef burgers,
uh, two large fries,
some chicken lickin' fingers,
and a large cherry coke,
and a chocolate milkshake.
Look at this. I shouldn't be here.
You'll be fine.
You should have brought Tanya.
Brought you.
Who are you calling? Lisa?
No.
Grant, it's okay. I'd do the same.
What are you going to tell her?
Not to take the subway,
or to leave town or something.
If I lost them...
We're setting up our
command center here.
Give me a minute to
get you two badges?
You're going to have
to bear with me today.
There's a lot going on, and
I'm not going to have
time to explain it all.
You have to follow
me carefully. Okay.
I want you to assume that
her home is being monitored.
Monitored? Watched, listened to.
Do not use my name or
your name or Will's name
try not to frighten her,
but she has to come with you.
Yes?
Hi. You must be Katherine.
So if you wanted to go
look at that apartment,
we could go anytime.
Wait just a second.
I can go now.
Just let me get my purse.
It doesn't make any sense.
You can't start with a tactic.
The target follows the tactic.
It's not the other way around.
The order is to assess
population clusters
vulnerable to a single...
But Al Qaeda isn't after dy count.
You assess whatever
clusters you need to,
but we've got a few thousand pages
of Kateb-related intercepts
from the past six months.
That's where the answer is.
That is not the priority.
It's our priority. Our orders are
to work with you to identify
vulnerable population centers
that Kateb could hit
in the next 72 hours.
Where?
Exactly.
In the United States.
All right, so let's divide it up.
I can do Pacific time zone.
No, we're not doing this.
Aren't all of you supposed
to be helping us,
not the other way around?
Tanya, I got this.
We're helping each other.
No, you're wasting our time.
Opportunity is not a
meaningful criteria.
We have to identify the objective,
and then, design...
We have to know why Kateb is here
before we can figure out where.
I didn't know he
was in Indianesia.
Last time dad heard from him,
he was still in Yemen.
How long ago was that?
I don't know. Five, six years.
And there's been no
contact since then?
I know. I mean, I thought
he was probably dead.
Or, like, abducted or something.
He didn't do anything bad, did he?
We just want to find him.
We think he might be in danger.
I told him not to go over there.
Those people scare me.
You can't smoke in here.
No?
It's a school.
Listen, uh, maybe you can tell us
about Joe's conversion to Islam.
You grew up what? Uh, Lutheran?
We didn't really grow up nothing.
I mean, we weren't, like,
religious, really.
Especially Joey.
The Islamic thing
started after 9-1-1.
He joined a group to try and,
like, talk to the Muslims.
His friend Maddy lost an
uncle in the trade center,
so they joined together.
To talk to the Muslims? Yeah.
So they could get them
to stop hating us.
I guess he was good at it.
I mean, that's what everyone said.
What he said.
Finally found something
he was really good at.
He was never really good at stuff.
I mean,
not like a total loser,
but not like... good.
You'll stay here for a while,
until I sort a few things out.
Why am I hiding?
You're not hiding.
You're just staying out of
sight for a little while.
Where's Will?
Will's in new Jersey.
He's doing something for work.
We all work together.
For API?
Yeah.
Do you need a glass of water?
Please.
I just want to know why
all this is happening.
It's because of
your late husband, I'm afraid.
Tom? You knew Tom?
No, I didn't, but
I'm familiar with
the circumstances.
Do you know Roman history?
Cato was a leader
in the Roman senate,
known to be incorruptible,
a man of honor.
During the war in Gaul,
some of his colleagues
began to fear that Caesar
had grown so powerful,
he might become a dictator.
They ordered him to
disband his army.
Caesar refused,
and turned his army south
across the Rubicon river
toward Rome.
Now, for Cato,
defeat was inevitable.
But he himself
refused to surrender.
He chose to take his own life
so that those he loved could
make peace with Caesar
and a life of their own.
Tom killed himself to protect me?
I believe so.
I have to go.
Maggie will stay here with you.
Do not open that door
for anyone but me.
I'll come back.
We have no indication
that he had that kind
of training, that...
Has anyone seen Kale Ingram?
Uh, no, sir.
How's it going?
Uh, we're doing our best, sir.
Can I help?
Well,
sir, there do seem to be
conflicting priorities.
Well, I guess not priorities.
I mean, we-we all
want to stop this guy.
But-but conflicting strategies.
Go on.
I believe our best hope
is to use the known information
about Al Qaeda's goals,
and what little we know
about Kateb's history
to quickly hone on a list
of potential targets.
Sensible.
Well, our colleagues
from uptown think that this
is too slow and unreliable,
and that we should make a top
ten list of worst case terrorist
scenarios, and then,
work that list.
So,
if Kateb picks the 11th
worst case scenario,
we're screwed. Yes.
Now, to be fair,
I mean, they're all guesses,
but then, some guesses are...
Who's your direct?
Perlmutter.
Get him on the phone, hmm?
It's Elice.
I need perlmutter.
Chet? Truxton Spangler.
Yeah.
Listen, I'm pretty sure
you have a better use
for my top analysts
than having them rework the
same list you must have made
100 times before.
Good.
Oh, that's...
That's what I thought.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, I'll-I'll tell them.
Yeah. Mm.
Do what he says, hmm?
It's been five years since
any of us have spoke to Joey,
so, I-I don't have
any information.
There's been no recent contact?
You have some sort of
problem with your hearing?
You said you hadn't spoken to him,
but perhaps you have
had other contact.
Look at all this stuff.
How come we don't have any stuff?
Is this the mother's brother,
or the father's? Father's.
Unless you tell me
what's going on.
Calm down, sir.
I am not calming down.
Because this is total bull.
Your lawyer's been contacted, sir.
He's on his way, but you're
not under investigation here.
We are simply trying
to locate your nephew.
Why? We need to speak to him.
Do I look as dumb as
you seem to think I am?
Sir, who in your family
was Joe closest to?
Does all this strike you
as totally disorganized?
Totally.
Mm-hmm.
We-we know this guy.
John Walker Lindh,
Omar Hammami, Adam Gadahn.
Smart but troubled teenager
finds meaning in jihad.
But why does a kid do that
instead of, say,
becoming a skinhead,
or an ecoterrorist or a marine?
Right, or an intelligence analyst.
I don't know.
Same be-a-part-of-
something-bigger impulse.
I think it's because
they're afraid of women.
All men are afraid of women.
No, nothing really.
What about you?
You making any progress?
Eh, a little.
Hey, did you see these
travel records for Tanaz
that Langley dropped on us?
Whoa, what are you
talking about... the ones
that put her in Sofia
with George and Yuri?
No, no, that's old.
There's a whole new set.
I guess now that she's dead,
they don't mind
telling us about her.
This lady must have more
frequent flier miles than God.
Riyadh, Capetown, Montreal.
She ever set foot in the U.S.?
Uh...
Yeah, New York,
Washington couple of times.
Uh, what's,
what's the most recent?
Just hold on a second.
Can you see if these
agency guys have
full travel records for Tanaz?
Sure. Thank you. Miles?
Seems like the most recent is,
uh, last fall... September
'09... New York and D.C.,
maybe a u. N. General
assembly meeting or, uh,
bill Clinton's thing.
Okay, check the list for both.
We need to find out
what she was doing here.
Will do. Thank you.
Doubtful, but they're looking.
Why, what are you thinking?
I have a hunch.
Feel like sharing?
No.
Hey, Maggie, it's Will.
Listen, I need you
to do me a favor.
It's a pretty big one.
I need you to get
something for me.
I can pick it up tonight.
Actually, it has to be right now,
and I can't do it.
I'm with Mrs. Rhumor.
She's safe, but I can't leave her.
Maggie, this is important.
Where, where are you?
Where are you guys, at the safe house?
Yeah.
Okay, she's going to be okay.
Tell her to stay put.
I will meet you
back at the office.
Now, let me talk to her.
Um, it's Will.
Hello.
Listen, did you find it-
the tape?
No, not yet.
We need that tape.
Your friends are telling me
that I have to stay here.
Well, they're right,
you should just stay put, and, uh...
Don't worry about it.
We'll find the tape later, okay?
I'll talk to you later, bye.
I hope he told you.
I have to go.
Promise me you'll stay here.
Keep the door locked.
I'll be right back.
Enter.
This came in from
the atlas courier.
Ingram?
Back in the building.
I'm sure he's on his way.
What?
You wanted to see me.
Come in. Cl... close the door.
40 years in the
intelligence business, I...
Somehow thought I was
past being surprised.
I couldn't find you... earlier.
My apologies, I was...
No, no.
Please.
I was simply reminded
how profoundly I-I rely on you.
I don't know how we'd
manage without you.
Nothing to worry about.
API is just as much my
home as it is yours.
I don't imagine either
one of us leaving
until they carry us out.
Indeed.
How are we progressing downstairs?
We're working hard.
Is there anything else?
Thank you.
What for?
Everything.
Andy...
Yes.
Hi, I'm Maggie, um,
Will Travers' assistant.
Will Travers, the disappearing
historian?
I guess so.
He, uh, he said
he, um, left something here
that he wanted me to pick up.
He sent you to get his stuff?
Just a book.
Some military historic thing,
blue cover.
He said he left it by,
uh, the bed.
I'll look.
Hey, do you mind if I,
uh, use your bathroom?
Go ahead, it's on your right.
It wasn't there.
Oh, really?
Really. Uh...
I'll tell him.
Thanks, I'm sorry
if I bothered you.
Hey.
Are you sleeping with him, too?
No.
We just work together.
This is a waste of time.
I have to get back to API.
I'm ready when you are.
No, you need to stay.
Neither of you can
leave right now.
I don't have anyone
to drive you back.
Find someone; I' be outside.
We're on.
He was never really my boyfriend,
but we were friends and I
always really liked him.
What was it about him?
Well, uh,
he was so lost...
But not in a sad way,
just confused.
He really wanted the
world to make more sense.
He wanted to find his...
It was like he just
couldn't figure things out.
And you liked that?
It was sweet, you know, sincere.
We were 16 or 17,
and other boys just wanted
to get drunk or fool around,
but Joe was different.
He... he always
called me Virginia,
never gonna like everyone else,
so yeah, I liked that.
What happened?
I mean,
why didn't you get together?
Oh, well, uh...
When he started with the Muslim stuff,
things really changed.
Changed how? I don't know,
exactly.
Um, he told me that
Allah believed in him.
Believed in him?
Yeah, he said,
"I believe in Allah and
Allah believes in me. "
That's what he said.
What do you think he meant?
I think he just wanted
someone to tell him
that he was the special one,
that he had a purpose.
Whatever day it is,
it'll probably be afternoon,
20 eastern.
Why?
Because that's what he does.
That's not in any of the reports.
Yes, it is.
You just didn't see it.
I've been very thoroughly briefed.
Okay. You know what?
It's all right.
We've been working
this for months.
There's-there's no way you
could get caught up this fast.
I'm caught up. I'm just saying
it wasn't in the report.
Do you want me to show it to you?
I'd like to see some
supporting evidence
for that kind of
suggestion. Tanya?
Yeah?
Will you tell him
about the 4:20 thing?
Um... Kateb's attacks all
take place at 21:20 GMT.
20 eastern.
Like, in new Jersey.
Hey. Hey.
What happened?
I had to get Will.
You left her?
No. I-I-I'm going back.
No.
Don't bother.
Stay here.
Damn it, Maggie.
You get the papers?
Yeah.
You okay? Uh...
Yeah, yeah.
Hey. How are you?
Good morning.
I need everybody out.
Right now.
Now.
Miles, stay. You stay.
Could you guys move quicker,
please?!
Tanya, close the door behind you.
Tanaz's travel records?
You have them?
Will?
I... here, here, here.
September 2009.
She arrives in new
York on the 15th.
Stays for four days.
February 2010?
Washington on the ninth.
They're working together.
Who? Will, what are you
talking about? I got him!
I got that son of a bitch.
Donald bl... Will?
I pulled these records
for you. Kale, it's Will.
Listen to me.
Bloom and Tanaz.
They were working together.
Are you calling from the office?
No, no, no. Don't you get it?
It's all connected.
All of it. All of it. Bloom.
Tanaz. Kateb.
The crosswords.
It's all connected.
It's all the same thing.
What was the Houston problem?
David Hadas's paper on Houston.
What was that about?
Why?
Bloom was in Houston.
Every time he saw Tanaz,
he came from Houston.
What was David writing about?
Damn it. Oil.
Vulnerabilities in the oil supply.
Uh, import, refining,
distribution.
Houston was the bottleneck.
You sink a tanker
in Galveston bay,
block it up for months,
domino effect will
cripple the nation.
That's it.
That's where Kateb is headed.
Galveston bay.
Turn on the TV.
What?
Reports from
Galveston bay, Texas,
where terrorists appear...
Turn on the TV.
...To have attacked and blown
up an American oil tanker.
What channel?
Any one of them.
We're getting conflicting reports.
I think we have Mark
on the ground there.
Mark, are you there?
Well, Beth, police have stopped me
about two miles from the scene.
But even from here, I can see
smoke billowing into the sky.
Have you heard any reports
from the site itself?
I've been told the flames
are shooting into the air
at least 50 feet,
and that thick clouds
of smoke are hindering efforts
to extinguish the conflagration.
Oil is spilling
into the bay as the tanker
lists and starts to sink.
Homeland security
officials in Washington
seem to have been taken
completely by surprise.
A severe, or red,
terrorist alert has been declared.
Our borders and airports
have been closed.
The FBI and Texas state troopers
are rushing to the scene.
Of course, the greatest fear is
that this is merely the start
of something even worse,
a coordinated attack
of some kind, reminiscent of 9/11.
I've just heard that all major
bridges in New York city...
A boat?
All this to sink a boat?
...Closed, creating
massive traffic jams...
One-quarter of
America's oil supply
moves through Houston.
Cleaning up this mess is
going to block the harbor
for at least three months.
BP just dumped a
zillion gallons of oil
into the Gulf, and this
is supposed to scare us?
That was just a nosebleed.
This is the jugular.
An aneurysm in the energy system.
Brilliant.
To sum things up, it appears our
worst nightmare is realized.
The United States is
once again under attack.
Sorry, sir.
They're calling from
Langley and fort Meade
and the Pentagon.
That's fine, it's fine.
We can wait a few minutes.
Yes, sir.

No, no.
And Travers?
Alive and well.
He just left his apartment

The train crash, Katherine-
Travers knows our names,
for Christ's sake!
Travers is under control.
You left us exposed!
Calm down.
Both of you.
Stop it!
Yes?
When?
Are they already there?
Good. I'll be over...
20 minutes.
I have to go.
It's started.
What about Travers?
He'll be handled.
Oh, sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Someone tried to
kill me last night.
What happened?
Listen, you're in danger here.
Is there someplace
else you can go?
Uh, I don't know.
Uh, a hotel?
Hotel, that's fine.
Let's get you in a hotel.
I- I found something.
A note from Tom.
What does it say?
Well...
He says he hopes I'll continue
to celebrate our
wedding anniversary.
How'd you celebrate
your anniversary?
What'd you do? Nothing.
Most years, we just had

We watched the same movie we...
Saw together on our first date.

Meet me in St. Louis.

Find that movie.
Hello?

Okay.
Listen, I'm with our friend.
She needs someplace secure-

No. No hotel.

Today, tomorrow, the next day...
Exactly. Who the hell knows?
Why is Spangler
having me take Grant?
It's unclear. Do you trust him?
Grant? Yeah.
Yes. Good.
Do you?
Oh, I don't trust anyone.
How are we doing with our friend?
I'm taking care of her.
Ant, you and I are headed
to harbor beach, new Jersey.
We are gonna meet some of
Kateb's nearest and dearest.
Miles, I need you, Julia,
Tanya, put your heads together
and figure out what

Nothing.

Miles, you have any thoughts?
Hi. I need, uh,
two hotter than hell dogs,
three bodacious beef burgers,
uh, two large fries,
some chicken lickin' fingers,
and a large cherry coke,
and a chocolate milkshake.
Look at this. I shouldn't be here.
You'll be fine.
You should have brought Tanya.
Brought you.
Who are you calling? Lisa?
No.
Grant, it's okay. I'd do the same.
What are you going to tell her?
Not to take the subway,
or to leave town or something.
If I lost them...
We're setting up our
command center here.
Give me a minute to
get you two badges?
You're going to have
to bear with me today.
There's a lot going on, and
I'm not going to have
time to explain it all.
You have to follow
me carefully. Okay.
I want you to assume that
her home is being monitored.
Monitored? Watched, listened to.
Do not use my name or
your name or Will's name
try not to frighten her,
but she has to come with you.
Yes?
Hi. You must be Katherine.
So if you wanted to go
look at that apartment,
we could go anytime.
Wait just a second.
I can go now.
Just let me get my purse.
It doesn't make any sense.
You can't start with a tactic.
The target follows the tactic.
It's not the other way around.
The order is to assess
population clusters
vulnerable to a single...
But Al Qaeda isn't after dy count.
You assess whatever
clusters you need to,
but we've got a few thousand pages
of Kateb-related intercepts
from the past six months.
That's where the answer is.
That is not the priority.
It's our priority. Our orders are
to work with you to identify
vulnerable population centers
that Kateb could hit
in the next 72 hours.
Where?
Exactly.
In the United States.
All right, so let's divide it up.
I can do Pacific time zone.
No, we're not doing this.
Aren't all of you supposed
to be helping us,
not the other way around?
Tanya, I got this.
We're helping each other.
No, you're wasting our time.
Opportunity is not a
meaningful criteria.
We have to identify the objective,
and then, design...
We have to know why Kateb is here
before we can figure out where.
I didn't know he
was in Indianesia.
Last time dad heard from him,
he was still in Yemen.
How long ago was that?
I don't know. Five, six years.
And there's been no
contact since then?
I know. I mean, I thought
he was probably dead.
Or, like, abducted or something.
He didn't do anything bad, did he?
We just want to find him.
We think he might be in danger.
I told him not to go over there.
Those people scare me.
You can't smoke in here.
No?
It's a school.
Listen, uh, maybe you can tell us
about Joe's conversion to Islam.
You grew up what? Uh, Lutheran?
We didn't really grow up nothing.
I mean, we weren't, like,
religious, really.
Especially Joey.
The Islamic thing
started after 9-1-1.
He joined a group to try and,
like, talk to the Muslims.
His friend Maddy lost an
uncle in the trade center,
so they joined together.
To talk to the Muslims? Yeah.
So they could get them
to stop hating us.
I guess he was good at it.
I mean, that's what everyone said.
What he said.
Finally found something
he was really good at.
He was never really good at stuff.
I mean,
not like a total loser,
but not like... good.
You'll stay here for a while,
until I sort a few things out.
Why am I hiding?
You're not hiding.
You're just staying out of
sight for a little while.
Where's Will?
Will's in new Jersey.
He's doing something for work.
We all work together.
For API?
Yeah.
Do you need a glass of water?
Please.
I just want to know why
all this is happening.
It's because of
your late husband, I'm afraid.
Tom? You knew Tom?
No, I didn't, but
I'm familiar with
the circumstances.
Do you know Roman history?
Cato was a leader
in the Roman senate,
known to be incorruptible,
a man of honor.
During the war in Gaul,
some of his colleagues
began to fear that Caesar
had grown so powerful,
he might become a dictator.
They ordered him to
disband his army.
Caesar refused,
and turned his army south
across the Rubicon river
toward Rome.
Now, for Cato,
defeat was inevitable.
But he himself
refused to surrender.
He chose to take his own life
so that those he loved could
make peace with Caesar
and a life of their own.
Tom killed himself to protect me?
I believe so.
I have to go.
Maggie will stay here with you.
Do not open that door
for anyone but me.
I'll come back.
We have no indication
that he had that kind
of training, that...
Has anyone seen Kale Ingram?
Uh, no, sir.
How's it going?
Uh, we're doing our best, sir.
Can I help?
Well,
sir, there do seem to be
conflicting priorities.
Well, I guess not priorities.
I mean, we-we all
want to stop this guy.
But-but conflicting strategies.
Go on.
I believe our best hope
is to use the known information
about Al Qaeda's goals,
and what little we know
about Kateb's history
to quickly hone on a list
of potential targets.
Sensible.
Well, our colleagues
from uptown think that this
is too slow and unreliable,
and that we should make a top
ten list of worst case terrorist
scenarios, and then,
work that list.
So,
if Kateb picks the 11th
worst case scenario,
we're screwed. Yes.
Now, to be fair,
I mean, they're all guesses,
but then, some guesses are...
Who's your direct?
Perlmutter.
Get him on the phone, hmm?
It's Elice.
I need perlmutter.
Chet? Truxton Spangler.
Yeah.
Listen, I'm pretty sure
you have a better use
for my top analysts
than having them rework the
same list you must have made
100 times before.
Good.
Oh, that's...
That's what I thought.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, I'll-I'll tell them.
Yeah. Mm.
Do what he says, hmm?
It's been five years since
any of us have spoke to Joey,
so, I-I don't have
any information.
There's been no recent contact?
You have some sort of
problem with your hearing?
You said you hadn't spoken to him,
but perhaps you have
had other contact.
Look at all this stuff.
How come we don't have any stuff?
Is this the mother's brother,
or the father's? Father's.
Unless you tell me
what's going on.
Calm down, sir.
I am not calming down.
Because this is total bull.
Your lawyer's been contacted, sir.
He's on his way, but you're
not under investigation here.
We are simply trying
to locate your nephew.
Why? We need to speak to him.
Do I look as dumb as
you seem to think I am?
Sir, who in your family
was Joe closest to?
Does all this strike you
as totally disorganized?
Totally.
Mm-hmm.
We-we know this guy.
John Walker Lindh,
Omar Hammami, Adam Gadahn.
Smart but troubled teenager
finds meaning in jihad.
But why does a kid do that
instead of, say,
becoming a skinhead,
or an ecoterrorist or a marine?
Right, or an intelligence analyst.
I don't know.
Same be-a-part-of-
something-bigger impulse.
I think it's because
they're afraid of women.
All men are afraid of women.
No, nothing really.
What about you?
You making any progress?
Eh, a little.
Hey, did you see these
travel records for Tanaz
that Langley dropped on us?
Whoa, what are you
talking about... the ones
that put her in Sofia
with George and Yuri?
No, no, that's old.
There's a whole new set.
I guess now that she's dead,
they don't mind
telling us about her.
This lady must have more
frequent flier miles than God.
Riyadh, Capetown, Montreal.
She ever set foot in the U.S.?
Uh...
Yeah, New York,
Washington couple of times.
Uh, what's,
what's the most recent?
Just hold on a second.
Can you see if these
agency guys have
full travel records for Tanaz?
Sure. Thank you. Miles?
Seems like the most recent is,
uh, last fall... September
'09... New York and D.C.,
maybe a u. N. General
assembly meeting or, uh,
bill Clinton's thing.
Okay, check the list for both.
We need to find out
what she was doing here.
Will do. Thank you.
Doubtful, but they're looking.
Why, what are you thinking?
I have a hunch.
Feel like sharing?
No.
Hey, Maggie, it's Will.
Listen, I need you
to do me a favor.
It's a pretty big one.
I need you to get
something for me.
I can pick it up tonight.
Actually, it has to be right now,
and I can't do it.
I'm with Mrs. Rhumor.
She's safe, but I can't leave her.
Maggie, this is important.
Where, where are you?
Where are you guys, at the safe house?
Yeah.
Okay, she's going to be okay.
Tell her to stay put.
I will meet you
back at the office.
Now, let me talk to her.
Um, it's Will.
Hello.
Listen, did you find it-
the tape?
No, not yet.
We need that tape.
Your friends are telling me
that I have to stay here.
Well, they're right,
you should just stay put, and, uh...
Don't worry about it.
We'll find the tape later, okay?
I'll talk to you later, bye.
I hope he told you.
I have to go.
Promise me you'll stay here.
Keep the door locked.
I'll be right back.
Enter.
This came in from
the atlas courier.
Ingram?
Back in the building.
I'm sure he's on his way.
What?
You wanted to see me.
Come in. Cl... close the door.
40 years in the
intelligence business, I...
Somehow thought I was
past being surprised.
I couldn't find you... earlier.
My apologies, I was...
No, no.
Please.
I was simply reminded
how profoundly I-I rely on you.
I don't know how we'd
manage without you.
Nothing to worry about.
API is just as much my
home as it is yours.
I don't imagine either
one of us leaving
until they carry us out.
Indeed.
How are we progressing downstairs?
We're working hard.
Is there anything else?
Thank you.
What for?
Everything.
Andy...
Yes.
Hi, I'm Maggie, um,
Will Travers' assistant.
Will Travers, the disappearing
historian?
I guess so.
He, uh, he said
he, um, left something here
that he wanted me to pick up.
He sent you to get his stuff?
Just a book.
Some military historic thing,
blue cover.
He said he left it by,
uh, the bed.
I'll look.
Hey, do you mind if I,
uh, use your bathroom?
Go ahead, it's on your right.
It wasn't there.
Oh, really?
Really. Uh...
I'll tell him.
Thanks, I'm sorry
if I bothered you.
Hey.
Are you sleeping with him, too?
No.
We just work together.
This is a waste of time.
I have to get back to API.
I'm ready when you are.
No, you need to stay.
Neither of you can
leave right now.
I don't have anyone
to drive you back.
Find someone; I' be outside.
We're on.
He was never really my boyfriend,
but we were friends and I
always really liked him.
What was it about him?
Well, uh,
he was so lost...
But not in a sad way,
just confused.
He really wanted the
world to make more sense.
He wanted to find his...
It was like he just
couldn't figure things out.
And you liked that?
It was sweet, you know, sincere.
We were 16 or 17,
and other boys just wanted
to get drunk or fool around,
but Joe was different.
He... he always
called me Virginia,
never gonna like everyone else,
so yeah, I liked that.
What happened?
I mean,
why didn't you get together?
Oh, well, uh...
When he started with the Muslim stuff,
things really changed.
Changed how? I don't know,
exactly.
Um, he told me that
Allah believed in him.
Believed in him?
Yeah, he said,
"I believe in Allah and
Allah believes in me. "
That's what he said.
What do you think he meant?
I think he just wanted
someone to tell him
that he was the special one,
that he had a purpose.
Whatever day it is,
it'll probably be afternoon,
20 eastern.
Why?
Because that's what he does.
That's not in any of the reports.
Yes, it is.
You just didn't see it.
I've been very thoroughly briefed.
Okay. You know what?
It's all right.
We've been working
this for months.
There's-there's no way you
could get caught up this fast.
I'm caught up. I'm just saying
it wasn't in the report.
Do you want me to show it to you?
I'd like to see some
supporting evidence
for that kind of
suggestion. Tanya?
Yeah?
Will you tell him
about the 4:20 thing?
Um... Kateb's attacks all
take place at 21:20 GMT.
20 eastern.
Like, in new Jersey.
Hey. Hey.
What happened?
I had to get Will.
You left her?
No. I-I-I'm going back.
No.
Don't bother.
Stay here.
Damn it, Maggie.
You get the papers?
Yeah.
You okay? Uh...
Yeah, yeah.
Hey. How are you?
Good morning.
I need everybody out.
Right now.
Now.
Miles, stay. You stay.
Could you guys move quicker,
please?!
Tanya, close the door behind you.
Tanaz's travel records?
You have them?
Will?
I... here, here, here.
September 2009.
She arrives in new
York on the 15th.
Stays for four days.
February 2010?
Washington on the ninth.
They're working together.
Who? Will, what are you
talking about? I got him!
I got that son of a bitch.
Donald bl... Will?
I pulled these records
for you. Kale, it's Will.
Listen to me.
Bloom and Tanaz.
They were working together.
Are you calling from the office?
No, no, no. Don't you get it?
It's all connected.
All of it. All of it. Bloom.
Tanaz. Kateb.
The crosswords.
It's all connected.
It's all the same thing.
What was the Houston problem?
David Hadas's paper on Houston.
What was that about?
Why?
Bloom was in Houston.
Every time he saw Tanaz,
he came from Houston.
What was David writing about?
Damn it. Oil.
Vulnerabilities in the oil supply.
Uh, import, refining,
distribution.
Houston was the bottleneck.
You sink a tanker
in Galveston bay,
block it up for months,
domino effect will
cripple the nation.
That's it.
That's where Kateb is headed.
Galveston bay.
Turn on the TV.
What?
Reports from
Galveston bay, Texas,
where terrorists appear...
Turn on the TV.
...To have attacked and blown
up an American oil tanker.
What channel?
Any one of them.
We're getting conflicting reports.
I think we have Mark
on the ground there.
Mark, are you there?
Well, Beth, police have stopped me
about two miles from the scene.
But even from here, I can see
smoke billowing into the sky.
Have you heard any reports
from the site itself?
I've been told the flames
are shooting into the air
at least 50 feet,
and that thick clouds
of smoke are hindering efforts
to extinguish the conflagration.
Oil is spilling
into the bay as the tanker
lists and starts to sink.
Homeland security
officials in Washington
seem to have been taken
completely by surprise.
A severe, or red,
terrorist alert has been declared.
Our borders and airports
have been closed.
The FBI and Texas state troopers
are rushing to the scene.
Of course, the greatest fear is
that this is merely the start
of something even worse,
a coordinated attack
of some kind, reminiscent of 9/11.
I've just heard that all major
bridges in New York city...
A boat?
All this to sink a boat?
...Closed, creating
massive traffic jams...
One-quarter of
America's oil supply
moves through Houston.
Cleaning up this mess is
going to block the harbor
for at least three months.
BP just dumped a
zillion gallons of oil
into the Gulf, and this
is supposed to scare us?
That was just a nosebleed.
This is the jugular.
An aneurysm in the energy system.
Brilliant.
To sum things up, it appears our
worst nightmare is realized.
The United States is
once again under attack.
Sorry, sir.
They're calling from
Langley and fort Meade
and the Pentagon.
That's fine, it's fine.
We can wait a few minutes.
Yes, sir.
