The Closer (2005–2012): Season 1, Episode 11 - L.A. Woman - full transcript

UH-HUH. BRENDA: IS TAO THERE?

WHAT? ASK HIM IF S.I.D.
HAS SHOWN UP YET.

YEAH. I KNOW. DID THEY
TAPE OFF THE CRIME SCENE?

TAO IS THERE.
DANIELS AND SANCHEZ

ARE JUST PULLING UP. WHAT?

HAVE THEY TAPED
OFF THE CRIME SCENE?

YEAH. ASK THEM IF THEY

I'LL TELL HER. TAPED
OFF THE CRIME SCENE.

CAN I TALK TO HIM? LET
ME... SEE YOU GUYS IN A FEW.

TAO SAYS NOT TO WORRY.

THE BODIES AREN'T
GOING ANYWHERE.



THAT'S GOOD, 'CAUSE YOUR
SHORTCUT ISN'T WORKING OUT TOO WELL.

OH, MY... SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE
GONNA TELL ME HOW TO DRIVE?

YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE.

WAS THAT OUR TURN?

OK. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE.

WHAT?

THIS IS L.A.

THE SUN SHINES 329 DAYS A YEAR.

THAT SQUINT IS NOT
WORKING FOR ME.

[ENGINE STARTS]

THIS WAS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

WE'RE GONNA NEED TO GET
ALL OF YOUR PHONE NUMBERS

IN CASE WE HAVE
ANY MORE QUESTIONS.



DO YOU WANT OUR HOME OR CELL?

BOTH, PLEASE, AND
E-MAIL AS WELL. THANK YOU.

[CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPPING]

[INDISTINCT TALKING
ON POLICE RADIO]

WHO'S OUR BLEEDERS?

RAZI MOKTARI, 45,
LIVES IN CHATSWORTH.

RUNS A SHIPPING
BUSINESS IN LONG BEACH.

HE'S IRANIAN.

THE OTHER GUY IS JEFFREY
SANDERS, HIS DRIVER.

HIS WIFE IS LAYLA MOKTARI.

SHE'S SITTING OVER THERE
IN THE BLACK-AND-WHITE.

DID SHE SEE WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, SHE DIDN'T SPEAK TO ME.

GUESS I'M NOT HER TYPE.

SHE'D ONLY TALK TO A WOMAN.

MRS. MOKTARI SAYS THEY WERE
LEAVING HER DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.

JUST AS SHE WAS GETTING IN
THE CAR, A DARK S.U.V. DRIVES BY,

GUY LEANS OUT THE WINDOW

WITH A GUN, UNLOADS
ON THE HUSBAND FIRST

AND THEN THE DRIVER.

DID SHE GET A GOOD LOOK AT HIM?

NOT REALLY, BUT SHE DID SAY

THE SHOOTER WAS WHITE.

SHE'S ALSO BEEN SAYING THE
U.S. GOVERNMENT WAS BEHIND THIS.

DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO HER?

NO, NO. LET HER PULL
HERSELF TOGETHER.

NOW WHERE WAS OUR SHOOTER?

ACCORDING TO WITNESSES, THE
S.U.V. STOPPED RIGHT ABOUT HERE.

NOT MUCH MARGIN FOR ERROR.

MOKTARI WAS PROBABLY DEAD
BEFORE HE HIT THE CEMENT,

AS WAS THE DRIVER.

DRIVER... SLASH...

BODYGUARD.

DID THE BODYGUARD
FIRE ANY SHOTS?

NO EVIDENCE FOUND YET.

SO THESE ARE ALL
FROM OUR SHOOTER.

11 OF THEM. 40 CALIBER.

SMELLS LIKE A PROFESSIONAL HIT.

OH. AND WHAT ABOUT
THE OTHER WITNESSES?

THERE'S JESSE, THE
PARKING LOT ATTENDANT.

DR. CHILTON, EARS, NOSE,
AND THROAT SPECIALIST,

HE WAS ONE LEVEL UP
WITH A YOUNG NURSE.

THEY HEARD THE SHOTS,
BUT THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

THEN THERE'S DR. GRAHAM,
THE PULMONARY GUY.

HE DROPPED TO THE GROUND
WHEN HE HEARD THE SHOTS

AND THEN RUSHED OVER TO HELP
AFTER HE SAW THE S.U.V. DRIVE OFF.

ALL RIGHT. SECURE THIS
PARKING STRUCTURE, PLEASE.

NOBODY TOUCHES OR TAKES
ANYTHING OUT OF THEIR CAR

AND NO VEHICLES GO IN OR
OUT UNTIL I SAY SO. THANK YOU.

YES, MA'AM. DETECTIVES
SANCHEZ AND DANIELS,

IF YOU COULD DO A FOLLOW-UP
CANVASS ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD, PLEASE.

SEE IF ANYONE SAW
THAT S.U.V. LEAVE.

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA
AND SERGEANT GABRIEL,

IF YOU COULD CHECK
THE SECURITY TAPE,

SEE IF WE HAVE ANY PICTURES
OF THAT CAR GOING IN OR OUT.

DETECTIVE TAO, FOLLOW
UP ON BALLISTICS.

AND WHO ARE YOU GENTLEMEN?

AGENT JACKSON, FBI.

DON'T LET US INTERRUPT.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?

DO YOU HAVE INFORMATION
ABOUT THESE MURDERS?

NOPE. YOU GUYS
JUST DO YOUR THING.

WELL, PART OF MY THING IS SECURING
THIS CRIME SCENE, SO IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND.

WE'RE NOT GONNA GET IN
ANYBODY'S WAY, TRUST ME.

I STOPPED BELIEVING BOYS WHO
SAID, "TRUST ME," WHEN I WAS 16.

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA,

WOULD YOU MIND ESCORTING
AGENT JACKSON AND HIS FRIEND HERE

OUT OF THE AREA?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MY PLEASURE, MA'AM.

LET'S... WHOA, WHOA!

HEY, JUST TAKE IT
EASY, ALL RIGHT, BRO?

I'M NOT YOUR BRO.

THE LADY SAID SHE
WANTS YOU OUT OF HERE.

I DON'T TAKE
ORDERS FROM L.A.P.D.

OH! JEEZ!

HEY, COME ON, NOW! WHAT
THE HELL'S THAT ALL ABOUT?

LIEUTENANT, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH! I DON'T KNOW. I
THINK I BROKE SOMETHING!

I AM SHOCKED THAT YOU WOULD ASSAULT
AN OLD MAN WITHOUT PROVOCATION.

ASSAULT? GIVE ME A
BREAK, WILL YOU, LADY?

I'LL GIVE YOU ONE MORE CHANCE
TO LEAVE THE AREA, AGENT JACKSON.

THIS IS CRAZY, AND YOU KNOW
IT. ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO

IS FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

DETECTIVE DANIELS,
WOULD YOU PLEASE

STOW AND IMPOUND HIS CAR?

SERGEANT GABRIEL, CHECK
AND SEE IF A PARAMEDIC

CAN COME DOWN HERE AND TAKE
A LOOK AT LIEUTENANT PROVENZA.

ARE YOU OK?

[QUIETLY] I'M ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. YOU MADE
YOUR POINT, OFFICER.

DEPUTY CHIEF BRENDA
LEIGH JOHNSON.

[LIEUTENANT PROVENZA SIGHS]

[GRUNTS]

GO ON, NOW. GO ON.

BYE NOW. BYE-BYE.

HEH! [SNIFFS] WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

I FEEL BETTER ALREADY.

CHIEF POPE, I NEED A WORD.

E-MAIL IT TO ME.

IT'S IMPORTANT.

THE FBI IS THREATENING
TO PULL RESOURCES

ON 6 OF OUR JOINT
INVESTIGATIONS.

WHEN MY GUYS WANTED TO KNOW WHY,

THEY WERE TOLD TO
ASK BRENDA JOHNSON.

RIGHT. NOW, I KNOW IT'S
CALLED PRIORITY HOMICIDE,

BUT ARE YOU REALLY
GOING TO ALLOW HER

TO KILL 6 CASES
OVER THIS MURDER,

INCLUDING A 2-YEAR GANG STING?

DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON,

YOU REMEMBER
SPECIAL AGENT JACKSON.

OF COURSE. DID YOU DROP
BY TO MAKE A FORMAL APOLOGY

FOR ASSAULTING
LIEUTENANT PROVENZA?

HE ASSAULTED PROVENZA?

THE OLD GUY TOOK A DIVE.

HE HURT HIS WRIST BADLY.

WELL, WE ALL KNOW THE FBI
LIKES TO PUSH PEOPLE AROUND,

BUT I REALLY DON'T
WANT A TURF WAR HERE,

SO LET'S SEE WHAT
WE CAN FIGURE OUT.

FINE. AGENT JACKSON HASN'T SAID

WHAT HIS INTEREST
IN THIS CASE IS.

DO YOU HAVE POSSESS
INFORMATION LINKING THESE MURDERS

TO A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE
OR RICO STATUTES?

WE HAVE AN IRANIAN BUSINESSMAN

WHO WAS GUNNED DOWN
ASSASSINATION-STYLE.

YOU MAKE THE LEAP.

WE'RE NOT GETTING IN THE WAY
OF A TERRORISM INVESTIGATION.

IF THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE DEALING WITH,

LAY OUT THE EVIDENCE,
AND WE'LL STAND ASIDE.

RAZI MOKTARI'S
ON OUR WATCH LIST.

SO'S CAT STEVENS. WE
WERE THINKING MORE

ALONG THE LINES OF ACTUAL PROOF.

THAT WE DON'T HAVE...

YET.

OK. WELL, THEN,
HERE'S WHAT WE'LL DO.

THE FBI MAY OBSERVE AND
ADVISE DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON

DURING OUR INVESTIGATION,

PROVIDED THAT YOU GIVE
HER A FULL BRIEFING ON THIS...

MOKTARI GUY.

THAT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE.

OH. OR I CAN HOLD A PRESS
CONFERENCE THIS AFTERNOON

DEMANDING TO KNOW WHY,
IN THE AFTERMATH OF 9/11,

THE FBI IS SPENDING MORE TIME
ASSAULTING AND HARASSING L.A.P.D. OFFICERS

THAN COOPERATING WITH THEM.

OK. I'LL RECOMMEND WE
ASSIGN A LIAISON AGENT

TO YOUR DEPARTMENT WITH THE
AUTHORITY TO TELL MS. JOHNSON

AS MUCH AS NATIONAL
SECURITY ALLOWS.

FINE. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH WHOMEVER YOU SEND OVER.

WELL, OF COURSE
THEY'RE TAKING THIS CASE.

STANDARD FBI PROCEDURE.

WAITING AROUND FOR US
TO DO ALL THE HARD WORK,

AND THEN THEY GRAB IT AND RUN.

YEAH, BUT IT'S GOTTA BE
EITHER TERRORISM OR DRUGS.

OR BOTH. A LOT OF THE HEROIN
COMING INTO LOS ANGELES

IS FROM AFGHANISTAN.

THAT'S HOW AL QAEDA FINANCES
MOST OF THEIR OPERATIONS.

YEAH, BUT MOKTARI'S
NOT AN ARAB. HE'S IRANIAN.

TOE-MAY-TOE, TOE-MAH-TOE.

WELL, THEN. GOOD NEWS.

WE WILL BE GETTING SOME EXTRA
HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS OVER AT THE FBI.

OH, AREN'T WE LUCKY?

♪ WAH-WAH-WAH ♪

WELL, THEN, LET'S MOVE QUICKLY,

SEE IF WE CAN'T FIND OUR
KILLER BEFORE THEY GET HERE.

FIRST UP, WHERE IS
OUR SHOOTER'S VEHICLE?

DETECTIVE SANCHEZ: IT'S
NOT GONNA BE THAT EASY.

THE SECURITY
CAMERAS IN THE GARAGE

WERE SHUT DOWN AT
THE TIME OF THE CRIME,

SO WE DON'T HAVE A
PICTURE OF THE VEHICLE.

SHUT DOWN HOW?

WELL, THEY'RE VERY INGENIOUS,
CHIEF. THEY CUT THE WIRES.

WHOEVER DID THIS
PLANNED IT OUT PRETTY WELL.

THIS GUY JEFFREY SANDERS,
THE BODYGUARD, IS THE REAL DEAL.

10 YEARS IN THE MARINES AND THEN 5
YEARS WITH PINNACLE PROTECTION SERVICES.

DID WE FIND ANY MORE WITNESSES?

YEAH, ONCE THE
STORY HIT THE NEWS.

40 PEOPLE SAW A VERY
SUSPICIOUS, DARK S.U.V.

LIEUTENANT TAO, WHAT DO WE
KNOW ABOUT THE MURDER WEAPON?

THE MARKINGS ON THE SLUGS
FROM THE RIFLE BARRELING

ARE CONSISTENT WITH A SIG SAUER.

RUN THE CASINGS
THROUGH THE SYSTEM,

SEE IF OUR MURDER WEAPON'S
BEEN USED IN ANY OTHER CRIME.

DETECTIVE DANIELS, AS OUR OFFICIAL
LIAISON TO HOMELAND SECURITY,

COULD YOU FIND OUT WHAT
THEY KNOW ABOUT MR. MOKTARI?

DETECTIVE SANCHEZ, IF YOU COULD
DO THE SAME WITH THE GANG UNIT.

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA, FIND OUT IF
THE SHOOTING MATCHES ANYONE'S M.O.

OH, AND I TOLD THE FBI
THAT YOU HURT YOUR WRIST,

SO HAVE THAT BANDAGED UP

BEFORE THEY GET HERE.

AND SERGEANT GABRIEL,

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
FIND ME THAT S.U.V.

YES, MA'AM.

SO FRITZIE, WHO IS
THIS JERK, ANYWAY?

FRITZ: JACKSON? HE'S AN OK GUY.

HE'S UNDER A LOT OF
PRESSURE THESE DAYS.

AND I'M NOT?

I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO
CALL MY MOTHER BACK IN 2 WEEKS.

SHE'S THREATENING TO VISIT.

SO HOW'S THE CASE GOING?

OH, I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING
ON THIS MOKTARI GUY.

HIS BANK STATEMENTS,
D.M.V. RECORDS,

WORK VISAS...
EVERYTHING'S FROZEN.

YEAH. YEAH, WE DO THAT.

BUT DON'T WORRY. YOU'LL
FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH.

YEAH, RIGHT.

YOU'RE SENDING ME
SOME LIAISON OFFICER.

NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME...

SOME POMPOUS, ARROGANT OAF
WHO DOESN'T KNOW THING ONE

ABOUT INVESTIGATING A MURDER.

YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO KNOW WHO
THEY'RE SENDING OVER, WOULD YOU?

YEAH. I DO.

FRITZ: LOOK, I KNOW
L.A.P.D. AND THE FBI

DON'T EXACTLY HAVE
A SPOTLESS RECORD

WHEN IT COMES TO
WORKING TOGETHER.

AND BY THE WAY, THE BUREAU'S
SORRY ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENT.

BUT PERSONALLY, I'VE HEARD

NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS
ABOUT ALL OF YOU FROM...

UH, AGENT HOWARD,
IF YOU COULD JUST...

CONTINUE ON WITH THE
BRIEFING, PLEASE. THANK YOU.

RIGHT.

RAZI MOKTARI USED TO BE
JUST AN IMPORT-EXPORT GUY

WHO SOMETIMES FOUND INTERESTING
WAYS AROUND PAYING CUSTOMS,

BUT AFTER THE INVASION OF IRAQ,

LIKE A LOT OF MUSLIMS,
HE BECAME MORE POLITICAL.

WE PUT HIM ON OUR WATCH LIST.

LAST YEAR, HE GOT INVOLVED WITH AN
ISLAMIC CHARITY THAT FUNDS SCHOOLS,

HOSPITALS, AND, WE BELIEVE,
POSSIBLE TERRORIST ACTIVITIES.

DO YOU HAVE ANY DIRECT
EVIDENCE THAT LINKS RAZI TO THEM?

I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO GO
THROUGH ALL OUR INFORMATION.

IN OTHER WORDS, NO.

I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT
WE RAISE THE TERROR ALERT LEVEL

TO BRITISH RACING GREEN.

IS IT TRUE FBI COMPUTERS AREN'T
CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET?

WE'RE UPGRADING OUR SYSTEMS.

POPE: ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE

A SINGLE DIRECT ANSWER
TO ONE OF OUR QUESTIONS,

I'D LIKE TO ASK HOW LONG
YOU'VE BEEN ASSIGNED

TO THE TERRORIST DIVISION.

ABOUT 3 HOURS.

I USUALLY HEAD UP
THE GANG TASK FORCE.

GANGS.

ACTUALLY, CHIEF POPE,
THERE IS SOME OVERLAP

BETWEEN GANGS AND
TERRORIST GROUPS.

THEY BOTH GET MOST OF THEIR
MONEY FROM DRUG TRAFFICKING,

AND THEY BOTH WORK REAL
HARD TO MOVE THAT MONEY AROUND

WITHOUT ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

FRITZ: WE SUSPECT MR. MOKTARI
WAS INVOLVED WITH THAT PIPELINE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, MY
COLLEAGUES WERE IN THE PROCESS

OF TRACKING $2 MILLION IN CASH

THAT HAD JUST COME
INTO MOKTARI'S POSSESSION

AT THE TIME HE WAS KILLED.

HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT
THAT MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE?

UNFORTUNATELY,
THAT'S CLASSIFIED.

BUT I CAN SHARE THIS WITH YOU.

IF YOU'LL TAKE ONE,
PASS THE REST AROUND...

HERE ARE...

50 NAMES... FRIENDS, ENEMIES,

OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT
BE INVOLVED WITH MOKTARI.

I WOULD LIKE SOME
OF YOU TO START HERE.

DIVVY UP THE SUSPECTS,
RUN THEIR CREDIT REPORTS.

THANK YOU, AGENT HOWARD.
I THINK EVERYONE HERE

KNOWS HOW TO DO A
BACKGROUND CHECK.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK AND NOT
A LOT OF BODIES, SO LET'S GET BUSY.

AND ON BEHALF OF THE L.A.P.D.,

AGENT HOWARD,
I'D LIKE TO WISH YOU

A SUCCESSFUL AND SWIFT, SPEEDY,

VERY, VERY FAST CONCLUSION
TO YOUR INVESTIGATION

WELL, IT'S GOOD TO
SEE YOU, TOO, WILL.

I HAVE TO INTERVIEW
MRS. MOKTARI.

OH. OK.

UH, NO, SERGEANT. I THINK
YOU SHOULD STAY HERE

AND SORT THROUGH ALL THAT
MATERIAL FROM THE PARKING GARAGE.

FINDING THAT S.U.V.
IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY.

WELL, WHO'S GOING WITH YOU?

UH, AGENT HOWARD.

OH. YEAH. OK. UH...

WON'T BE LONG.

RIGHT. YEAH. GOOD
LUCK WITH THAT.

NOT THE FRIENDLIEST
GROUP I'VE EVER MET WITH.

WELL, THEY'RE A LITTLE
SLOW TO WARM UP.

[RINGS DOORBELL]

DEPUTY CHIEF BRENDA
LEIGH JOHNSON.

COME IN.

AGENT HOWARD, FBI.

OUR HOSPITALITY, IT'S SUFFERED
SINCE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER.

THE FBI HAS TAKEN
EVEN OUR TEACUPS.

SORRY ABOUT THE SEARCH.

I'LL TRY AND HAVE EVERYTHING
RETURNED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,

BUT WE REALLY NEED
TO TALK TO YOUR MOTHER.

THE WOMEN OF THIS HOUSE ARE
NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK WITH MEN.

WE NEED TO ASK HER
SOME QUESTIONS. NO.

LAYLA: FARAZ, PLEASE...

[SPEAKING FARSI]

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOUR FATHER.

MAY I NOT SPEAK TO THE WOMAN?

THANK YOU FOR TAKING
THE TIME TO SPEAK WITH ME.

IS THIS YOUR DAUGHTER?

YES. ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH, YEAH, I'M FINE.
JUST A LITTLE GLASS.

YES. FATIMA.

SHE'S UPSTAIRS RESTING.
IT'S BEEN A TRAUMATIC DAY.

AND DUST FROM THE SEARCH
HAS AFFECTED HER ASTHMA.

OH.

PLEASE. PLEASE, YOU MUST SIT.

THANK YOU.

SO SORRY ABOUT WHAT'S
BEEN DONE TO YOUR HOUSE.

MUST BE A NIGHTMARE FOR YOU.

I AM UNCERTAIN OF WHAT HAPPENED,

AND MY SON TELLS ME NOTHING.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

I'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE
ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND.

THEY REALLY TORE
THIS PLACE UP, FARAZ.

IT'S LIKE THEY WERE LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR.

ANY IDEA WHAT THAT MIGHT BE?

OUR FAMILIES ESCAPED FROM IRAN

JUST BEFORE
KHOMEINI'S REVOLUTION.

THEY WENT TO LONDON,

AND IT WAS THERE THEY
DECIDED WE SHOULD GET MARRIED.

DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT YOUR DAD
RECENTLY CAME INTO A BUNCH OF MONEY?

WHO CARES ABOUT MONEY?
SOMEONE MURDERED MY FATHER.

MAYBE BECAUSE THEY WANTED
THE $2 MILLION HE WAS HOLDING.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO L.A.?

RAZI'S BUSINESS. 5 YEARS AGO.

WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A
NICE LIFE FOR OUR CHILDREN,

FOR US.

AND THEN... ALL THIS TROUBLE.

HIS FAMILY IN TEHRAN
BECAME VERY POLITICAL,

MORE RELIGIOUS,

AND EVERYTHING CHANGED.

EVERYTHING.

I HOPE MY SON HAS
CALLED OUR FRIENDS.

THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO
OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT RAZI'S DEATH.

AND IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THAT MONEY,

IT'S IN YOUR FAMILY'S
BEST INTEREST TO TELL ME.

DO YOU EVER GO BACK TO IRAN?

WE WERE GOING BACK
NEXT WEEK TO VISIT FAMILY.

THAT'S WHY I WAS AT
THE MEDICAL CENTER,

GET A PHYSICAL BEFORE TRAVELING.

AND YOUR HUSBAND WENT WITH YOU.

IT IS IMPROPER FOR A WOMAN

TO BE ALONE WITH A MAN
WHO IS NOT HER FAMILY.

YOU MENTIONED TO
DETECTIVE DANIELS

THAT YOU THOUGHT THE
GOVERNMENT WAS BEHIND THIS?

LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO OUR HOME.

YOU WERE TRAVELING
WITH YOUR FATHER.

HE WAS TEACHING
YOU HIS BUSINESS.

IT'S NOW MY BUSINESS
AND NOT YOURS.

MY HUSBAND WAS MURDERED,

AND THEY TREAT US LIKE
HE WAS THE MURDERER.

THEY TOOK OUR
BOOKS, OUR PICTURES,

EVEN MY DAUGHTER'S
PRESCRIPTIONS,

WHICH NOW I MUST HAVE REFILLED.

I'LL LOOK INTO THAT.

PLEASE.

MIGHT YOU COME BACK AND TELL US
HOW THE INVESTIGATION PROCEEDS?

MY SON...

HE'S VERY ANGRY.

FRITZ: ALL RIGHT...

BUT IF IN YOUR BUSINESS

YOU HAPPEN TO COME
ACROSS ABOUT 2 MILLION IN CASH

AND YOU TRY AND DO
ANYTHING WITH THAT MONEY

OTHER THAN GIVE IT TO THE FBI...

YOU CAN'T DO
ANYTHING TO ME. REALLY?

YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A
CLOSER LOOK AT THE PATRIOT ACT.

AGENT HOWARD.

YOU READY TO GO?

THANKS, FARAZ.

I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

LAYLA AND FATIMA WERE
BOTH FLYING TO LONDON,

THEN TO TEHRAN,
LEAVING TOMORROW.

BUT THERE ARE NO RESERVATIONS
FOR RAZI OR THE BOY.

BRENDA: WHAT ABOUT
ANOTHER AIRLINE, ANOTHER DAY?

WHAT ABOUT ANOTHER
NAME OR ANOTHER AIRPORT?

I'LL LOOK INTO IT WITH WITH
I.S. AND HOMELAND SECURITY.

DOESN'T THE TIMING
OF THIS WHOLE TRIP

SEEM LIKE AN AWFULLY
BIG COINCIDENCE?

$2 MILLION GOES MISSING.

THE WIFE AND THE DAUGHTER
LEAVING THE COUNTRY.

THE HUSBAND IS SHOT DOWN.

BRENDA: YES, THAT SEEMS
LIKE A VERY BIG COINCIDENCE.

ABSOLUTELY. UH, LIEUTENANT TAO,

ANY NEWS FROM THE CORONER?

TAO: PRELIMINARY
REPORTS CONSISTENT

WITH EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY.

CLOSE RANGE, PROBABLY RAZI
FIRST, THEN THE BODYGUARD.

ANYTHING ABOUT THE GUN?

NOT THE WEAPON OF
A REPEAT OFFENDER.

AND OUR ELUSIVE S.U.V.,

I FINALLY GOT A
TIME-STAMPED RECORD

OF EVERYONE WHO SWIPED
IN AND OUT OF THE GARAGE.

NOW HERE'S THE THING.

NO ONE LEFT 10 MINUTES BEFORE

OR ANYTIME AFTER THE SHOOTING.

CAR'S STILL THERE.

FIND OUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN
ABOUT EVERY CAR IN THAT GARAGE.

GET WARRANTS TO OPEN 'EM UP

AND HAVE S.I.D. GO THROUGH
EVERY INCH OF EVERY CAR.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR GUNSHOT
RESIDUE ON THE PASSENGER WINDOW

OR EVEN SOME
BLOWBACK ON THE DOOR.

REALLY? MAYBE I
SHOULD WRITE THAT DOWN,

'CAUSE THAT'S NEWS TO ME.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK
YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

UH, CHIEF?

UM, I THINK MY TIME

WOULD BE BETTER SPENT ON
SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE GARAGE.

BUT THAT VEHICLE'S THE
STRONGEST LEAD WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

HOW MANY CARS ARE THERE?

6 FLOORS. THAT'S LIKE 300 CARS.

I MEAN, IT'S A 2- OR 3-DAY JOB.

GO SEE CAPTAIN TAYLOR.

I GOT PERMISSION FROM CHIEF POPE

TO APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL
FROM ROBBERY-HOMICIDE.

THANK YOU, SERGEANT.

YES, MA'AM.

I DON'T MIND WHEN SHE
TAKES MY RESOURCES.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

BUT WHEN SHE STARTS
TO TAKE MY FRIENDS,

THAT'S WHEN I GET UPSET.

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT THAT, CAPTAIN.

I KNOW WHO MY FRIENDS ARE. BUT CHIEF
JOHNSON SIGNS MY EVALUATIONS, SO...

STILL, I WAS TELLING
DETECTIVE FLYNN HERE

THAT THE ONLY TIME I EVER
GET TO SEE YOU ANYMORE

IS WHEN SHE WANTS
SOMETHING. WHAT'S WITH THAT?

WELL, THIS TIME,
IT'S ME, THOUGH.

I'M SUPERVISING AN S.I.D. TEAM.

WE'RE RUNNING BACKGROUND
CHECKS ON A BUNCH OF CARS.

WOW. SOUNDS REAL
GLAMOROUS UP THERE

IN PRIORITY HOMICIDE.

WHAT IS IT YOU NEED,
ANOTHER PAIR OF HANDS?

YEAH. I'LL GO.

UM... I MEAN, THAT'D
BE GREAT. ONLY...

ONLY WHAT? WELL, SIR...

LIEUTENANT FLYNN IS ONE OF OUR
BEST GUYS HERE AT THE DEPARTMENT,

BUT HE AND... [CHUCKLES]

THE BITCH HATES MY GUTS.
YOU CAN SAY IT, GABRIEL.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT,
BUT... HEY, I DON'T CARE.

WHOA, WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE!

TIME OUT HERE. I CARE.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO INDULGE
OUR PERSONAL FEELINGS.

WE ARE HERE TO
PROTECT AND TO SERVE.

NOW YOU WANT TO
MOVE THIS THING ALONG.

OF COURSE, SIR.

AND EXPERIENCE
COUNTS FOR SOMETHING.

LIEUTENANT FLYNN WILL
HELP GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS,

WON'T YOU, LIEUTENANT?

YES, SIR.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

LIEUTENANT TAO'S FOUND SOMETHING

I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO TAKE A LOOK AT.

SOMEONE AS PROFESSIONAL
AS THIS SHOOTER

NEEDS TO KEEP IN PRACTICE,

SO I CALLED FIRING RANGES.
GOT A LIST OF CUSTOMERS

AND I GOOGLED THOSE NAMES.
THAT'S AN INTERNET THING.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT
GOOGLE IS, LIEUTENANT.

IT'S THE FBI THAT HAS A HARD
TIME GETTING ON-LINE, NOT ME.

ANYWAY, THIS IS WHAT TURNED UP.

A GUY NAMED CRAIG
SHERMAN IS CLAIMING CREDIT

FOR KILLING RAZI MOKTARI.

"TIME FOR PATRIOTIC AMERICANS
TO FREE THEMSELVES FROM TERROR.

OUR DUTY TO EXECUTE THEM
BEFORE THEY EXECUTE US."

IT SAYS NO MUSLIM IS INNOCENT,

AND RAZI MOKTARI
IS ONLY THE FIRST.

ALL RIGHT, WE NEED TO
GET SOME UNITS OVER

TO THIS CRAIG SHERMAN'S
HOUSE RIGHT AWAY.

I'LL CALL OVER, SEE IF I
CAN'T GET US FBI BACKUP.

OH, DIDN'T I TELL YOU?

WE PICKED HIM UP 15 MINUTES AGO.

PUT HIM IN INTERVIEW ONE

WITH THE OTHER MEN
FOR THE LINEUP, PLEASE.

SO THAT'S THE MIGHTY
CRAIG SHERMAN, HUH?

LISTEN, WE SEARCHED HIS HOUSE.

THERE'S NO SIGN
OF THE $2 MILLION.

REALLY? WELL, HOW ABOUT
A GUN OR A DARK S.U.V.?

'CAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE
INVESTIGATING A MURDER,

BUT Y'ALL SEEM TO BE RUNNING
MORE OF A TREASURE HUNT HERE.

[SIGHS]

CAN I TALK TO YOU?

THE MISSING $2 MILLION
WE'VE BEEN TRACKING...

IS YOURS, ISN'T IT?

MOKTARI GOT THAT MONEY
THROUGH AN FBI MIDDLEMAN.

Y'ALL WERE PLANNING ON
TRACING THAT MONEY AS IT LEFT L.A.

NOW Y'ALL CAN'T FIND IT.

HEY, LISTEN, ENOUGH
WITH THE "Y'ALL," OK?

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

DO YOU THINK I WANTED
THIS ASSIGNMENT?

I WAS GIVEN DIRECT ORDERS.
I'VE GOT TO FOLLOW THEM.

LOOK, YOU'RE WORKING A
MURDER. THAT'S IMPORTANT.

BUT SO IS KEEPING $2 MILLION
OUT OF THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS.

THE FBI SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN
HIM THAT MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

AND SO FAR YOU HAVEN'T PROVIDED
ONE SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE

THAT RAZI MOKTARI
WAS A TERRORIST,

BECAUSE IF YOU HAD,
WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.

BRENDA. WHAT A SURPRISE.

WELL, THE LADIES' ROOM

NEVER HAS ANY TOILET PAPER EVER.

HEY, WILL.

THANK YOU, SIR.
THANKS FOR COMING.

MM-HMM. HELLO.

I'M DR. WILLIAM GRAHAM.
FROM YESTERDAY.

OH, YES.

ARE YOU DOING ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE FINE. THANK
YOU FOR ASKING.

WE'RE READY FOR YOU NOW.

IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE,
JUST WRITE THE NUMBERS DOWN.

GO AHEAD, BUZZ.

I DON'T RECOGNIZE ANY OF THEM.

MA'AM?

OK, THANK YOU YOUR TIME.

WAIT A MINUTE. IT'S
ONE OF THESE MEN.

HERE. YOU CAN USE THIS DOOR.

FARAZ, PLEASE.

[SPEAKING FARSI]

GO AHEAD AND RECORD THIS.

[LAYLA SPEAKING FARSI]

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?

MY FARSI'S A LITTLE RUSTY.

[SPEAKING FARSI]

[SPEAKING FARSI]

HEY, HEY, HEY!

[SHOUTING IN FARSI]

SETTLE DOWN! SETTLE DOWN!

YOU'RE SURE YOU DON'T
WANT TO PRESS CHARGES?

MY SON IS EMOTIONAL.

IT'S HARD FOR A BOY
TO LOSE HIS FATHER.

PLEASE, WE WOULD LIKE TO
GO BACK TO OUR HOUSE NOW.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO HOME,

IF YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE,

WE CAN FIND A PLACE FOR YOU

FOR A COUPLE OF
DAYS, PROTECT YOU.

LIKE YOU PROTECTED MY FATHER?

MOTHER, YOU WILL COME.

[OFFICE DOOR OPENS]

LOOK, IF SHE INSISTS
ON PROTECTING HIM,

NOTHING WE CAN DO.

MR. SHERMAN.

NORMALLY I DON'T CONDUCT
INTERVIEWS LIKE THIS

UNTIL I KNOW A LITTLE
BIT MORE ABOUT A PERSON,

BUT YOU SEEM TO BE IN A
HURRY TO GET TO PRISON,

SO I THOUGHT I'D HELP
SPEED THE PROCESS ALONG.

SO THEY'VE READ YOU YOUR RIGHTS?

TWICE. AND YOU DON'T
WANT AN ATTORNEY?

NO. AND YOU'VE ALREADY
ADMITTED TO KILLING

RAZI MOKTARI AND
JEFFREY SANDERS?

YES. WELL, CONGRATULATIONS,
MR. SHERMAN.

YOU'VE DONE JUST
ABOUT EVERYTHING

BUT GIVE YOURSELF
A LETHAL INJECTION.

I'M NOT AFRAID TO
DIE FOR MY COUNTRY.

THEY DON'T HAVE A MONOPOLY
ON MARTYRDOM, YOU KNOW.

WE CAN DECIDE THE
QUESTION OF WHO "THEY" ARE.

WHY DID YOU TARGET RAZI MOKTARI?

HE'S IRANIAN.

IS HE A TERRORIST?
DO THEY STOP AND ASK

IF THE AMERICANS THEY'VE
KILLED ARE TERRORISTS?

NO. YOU HAVE TO
FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.

THEY CHANGED THE RULES
OF ENGAGEMENT, NOT ME.

THAT'S VERY INTERESTING. I...

I'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF
TERRORISM QUITE LIKE THAT.

IT'S CALLED ASYMMETRICAL
WARFARE, MA'AM.

LOOK IT UP.

YOU'VE GIVEN THIS
A LOT OF THOUGHT,

THIS COUNTERATTACK OF YOURS.

THANK YOU. I'M TRYING TO SET
AN EXAMPLE OTHERS CAN FOLLOW.

SO HOW DID YOU GET SO
CLOSE TO YOUR TARGET?

RESEARCH.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY.

THAT'S THE FIRST RULE OF WAR.

FOLLOW HIM. MAKE
HIS ROUTINE YOUR OWN.

EVER READ SUN TZU
AND THE ART OF WAR?

ATTACK WHERE THEY
ARE NOT PREPARED.

GO OUT TO WHERE
THEY DO NOT EXPECT.

I PICKED A CONTAINED
PLACE WHERE HE FELT SAFE,

AND WHEN MY ENEMY APPEARED,

I BLOCKED HIS ESCAPE ROUTE
AND EMPTIED MY WEAPON.

AIMED AT THE MIDSECTION TO HIT
AS MANY VITAL ORGANS AS POSSIBLE.

EXPLAIN THE ORDER
OF YOUR ATTACK.

I TOOK OUT THE BODYGUARD
FIRST BECAUSE I DIDN'T

WANT TO GET SHOT BEFORE
MY MISSION WAS COMPLETE.

AND THE GUN? TOSSED IT.

AND THE CAR? NOT
MINE. NOT TELLING.

AND YOU HEADED
OUT THE MAIN EXIT?

YES. HMM.

WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOOT THE WIFE?

[DOOR OPENS]

THERE'S NOTHING
TO ARREST HIM FOR,

'CAUSE HE OBVIOUSLY
DIDN'T DO IT.

BEING A PUBLICITY
JUNKIE'S NOT A CRIME.

SOMETHING HE SAID
REALLY BOTHERS ME.

WHAT'S THAT?

THE ATTACK HE
DESCRIBED IS TEXTBOOK.

IS BETTER, IN FACT, THAN
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

DETECTIVE TAO, COULD YOU WALK ME

THROUGH THE
BALLISTICS ONE MORE TIME.

[MIMICS COCKING GUN] BANG!

WE BELIEVE THE
FIRST HIT WAS HERE,

THEN AS MOKTARI
SPUN FROM THE IMPACT,

THE NEXT ONE WAS HERE,
BOUNCING HIM OFF THE CAR,

AND HERE, AND
JUST BEFORE HE FELL,

THE LAST ONE WENT
THROUGH THE TOP OF HIS HEAD.

THE SHOOTER KEPT
FIRING AFTER MOKTARI FELL.

THOSE WERE THE 3
MISSES AGAINST THE WALL.

THEN HE TURNED ON THE BODYGUARD,

TWICE IN THE GUT,

ONE IN THE ARM,

AND THE LAST ONE IN THE NECK.

LET'S GO THROUGH
IT AGAIN IN REAL TIME

WITHOUT ALL THE... STABBING.

[MIMICS COCKING GUN]

BANG! BANG! BANG!

BANG! BANG BANG BANG BANG...

STOP! DOES THIS SEEM
STRANGE TO ANYONE ELSE?

THAT IN ALL THAT TIME JEFFREY
SANDERS COULDN'T GET OFF ONE ROUND?

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HIS WEAPON.

IT WAS RATHER INGENIOUS,

BUT SIMPLE ENOUGH
A CHILD COULD DO IT.

SOMEONE PUT SUPERGLUE
IN THE FIRING PIN.

AND THAT JAMMED IT.

MM-HMM.

SANDERS WOULDN'T HAVE
NOTICED IT WITH HIS NAKED EYE.

HE COULD CHAMBER A ROUND.

YOU'D HAVE TO TAKE
THE GUN APART TO FIND IT.

SO WHOEVER DID THIS...

KNEW THEY DIDN'T
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT

SHOOTING THE BODYGUARD FIRST

BECAUSE THEY KNEW
HIS GUN WOULDN'T GO OFF.

WHO HAD ACCESS TO THAT WEAPON?

BUZZ, WILL YOU
PLEASE MAKE ME A TAPE

OF THE ARGUMENT
FROM THIS AFTERNOON.

DETECTIVE TAO, FIND
AGENT HOWARD FOR ME.

AND SEE IF THERE'S
ANYONE AVAILABLE

IN THE DEPARTMENT
WHO SPEAKS FARSI.

I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT
THIS BOY WAS SAYING.

THE BOY'S UPSET WITH HIS MOTHER.

WELL, WE KNEW THAT.

OK. [SPEAKING FARSI]

THE BOY SAYS, "I'M THE
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD.

"YOU WILL DO AS I SAY.

ONE OF THEM MUST
PAY FOR FATHER."

SHE SAYS, "PLEASE CALM DOWN."

AND HE SAYS, "ENOUGH.
NEXT WEEK, YOU WILL GO HOME,

"WHERE THE AIR
IS PURE FOR FATIMA

AND THE PEOPLE
ARE PURE FOR YOU."

"BUT WHO WILL LOOK
AFTER YOU?" THAT'S HER.

AND HE SAYS, "I'VE
FOUND FATHER'S MONEY.

I WILL LOOK AFTER MYSELF."

"BUT YOU'RE JUST A
CHILD..." WHAT WAS THAT?

HE HIT HER.

AND SHE HIT HIM BACK.

COULD WE GO BACK
THROUGH THAT AGAIN?

AHEM. EXCUSE US, CHIEF.

WE JUST FINISHED UP
WITH THE LAST OF THE CARS.

NO G.S.R., NO BLOWBACK, NOTHING.

WELL, THANK YOU, SERGEANT.

LIEUTENANT FLYNN,
PLEASURE AS ALWAYS.

YEAH.

GO AHEAD AND RELEASE
THE CRIME SCENE.

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM?

WHAT?

WELL, HOW WOULD YOU
LIKE US TO PROCEED?

YOU KNOW, IN
LOCATING THE S.U.V.?

OH, UH...

NEVER MIND.

WE'LL TRY A NEW TACK ON
THE CAR IN THE MORNING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SERGEANT.

GO BACK TO THE PART
WHERE THE BOY TALKED

ABOUT THE AIR BEING
PURE FOR HIS SISTER.

I WANT TO HEAR THAT AGAIN.

MM-HMM.

WHERE'S FRITZ?

YEAH, THE BOY'S GOT THE MONEY.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY?

WHAT? SHE CAN'T STAND ME.

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN
TO MAKE HER LIFE MISERABLE,

AND HERE YOU ARE, YOU'VE
TRIED TO HELP HER OUT

WHENEVER YOU COULD, AND SHE
TREATS US BOTH EXACTLY THE SAME. HEH!

DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON.

I ASSUME YOU'RE HERE TO TELL ME

THAT YOU'VE ARRESTED
MR. MOKTARI'S SON.

WHERE'D YOU TAKE HIM?
EGYPT? SAUDI ARABIA?

I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY.

BUT HE THE SON OF A
TERRORIST WITH A LOT OF MONEY,

AND WE NEED TO GET IT BACK.

THOUGH YOUR LACK OF RESPECT

FOR MY PROFESSIONAL ABILITY
COULDN'T BE MORE OBVIOUS,

I'D LIKE TO SHARE AN
OBSERVATION WITH YOU.

I THINK THAT PHYSICAL TORTURE

IS AN EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE MEANS

OF EXTRACTING
INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE.

AND ALLOWING YOU TO REMOVE A
MURDER SUSPECT FROM OUR JURISDICTION

IS HARDLY WHAT WE AGREED TO.

THERE MAY BE NO NEED TO
INTERROGATE FARAZ AT ALL.

IN FACT, I THINK KNOWING
HER SON'S IN FOREIGN CUSTODY

MIGHT PROVIDE MRS. MOKTARI
WITH ENOUGH INCENTIVE

TO COOPERATE WITH US. WE'RE
NOT WORKING AGAINST YOU.

WE'RE JUST PROVIDING YOU
WITH THE NECESSARY LEVERAGE

TO FIND OUT EXACTLY
WHAT THE MOTHER KNOWS.

BESIDES, AN OBSERVANT
ISLAMIC WOMAN

IS MUCH MORE LIKELY TO
TALK TO ME THAN SHE IS TO YOU.

I LOOK FORWARD TO
SEEING YOU IN ACTION, MA'AM.

GENTLEMEN.

SO IF I CAN'T GET MRS. MOKTARI

TO TELL ME WHAT
THEY WANT TO HEAR,

THEY'RE GONNA BEAT THE
CONFESSION OUT OF THE KID.

DON'T COMPLAIN TO ME.

COMPLAIN TO YOUR
TRUSTWORTHY FBI ADVISOR HERE.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW I ONLY
REPORTED WHAT FARAZ SAID.

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW
THAT INFORMATION WAS USED.

HUH.

LOOK...

I...

I HAVE REALLY STRONG
FEELINGS FOR YOU, BUT I CAN'T...

BRENDA, HEY, BEFORE
YOU SAY ANYTHING ELSE,

EFFECTIVE TOMORROW MORNING,

I AM OFFICIALLY REMOVED
FROM THIS WHOLE OPERATION.

IT'S NOT MY BEAT
IN THE FIRST PLACE,

AND...

I HAVE EQUALLY STRONG
FEELINGS FOR YOU, TOO.

WHICH IS WHY YOU'RE BETTER OFF

FINISHING THIS
INVESTIGATION ON YOUR OWN.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT, UM, BEFORE YOU
FINISH UP YOUR PAPERWORK,

I JUST NEED ONE
TINY FAVOR FROM YOU.

CAN WE HAVE DINNER
TOMORROW NIGHT?

YES, OF COURSE.

IF I'M EXPECTED TO GET MRS.
MOKTARI TO FLIP ON HER SON,

IT'D BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO
LOOK THROUGH EVERYTHING

THAT THE FBI TOOK
OUT OF HER HOUSE.

YOU LOOKING FOR
ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR?

YES. HER DAUGHTER'S
PRESCRIPTIONS.

HMM.

I... I WANT TO GIVE 'EM BACK.

WILL: GETTING A MOTHER
TO GIVE UP HER SON

MIGHT BE A BIT MUCH
TO ASK, EVEN OF BRENDA.

WE'LL SETTLE FOR KNOWING
WHERE THE MONEY GOT TO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH,
DR. GRAHAM, MM-HMM.

FOR COMING IN
THIS ONE LAST TIME.

THIS SHOULD JUST TAKE A MINUTE.

BRENDA: I AM SO SORRY

TO PUT YOU IN HERE
WITH ANOTHER MAN,

BUT YOU WERE THE
ONLY 2 WITNESSES

WHO SAW THE MURDERER'S ESCAPE,

AND WE HAVE SPENT SO MUCH
TIME SEARCHING FOR THAT S.U.V.,

SO IN AN ATTEMPT TO
END ALL THE CONFUSION,

I PUT ONE OF THE BEST COPS I'VE
EVER WORKED WITH ON THE JOB,

AND HE SEARCHED THROUGH
EVERY CAR IN THAT GARAGE

BECAUSE WITNESSES GET
THINGS WRONG SOMETIMES.

ANYWAY, WE COULDN'T
FIND THE SHOOTER'S CAR,

AND I FINALLY REALIZED WHY.

AND I COULD'VE KICKED
MYSELF FOR BEING SO STUPID,

AND IT'S BECAUSE...

THERE WAS NO S.U.V.
IT JUST DIDN'T EXIST.

WHAT?

NO GETAWAY CAR.
NO VEHICLE AT ALL.

BUT... BUT THAT'S...

I KNOW, DR. GRAHAM. I
WAS SURPRISED, TOO.

BECAUSE YOU TWO JUST
MET EACH OTHER YESTERDAY,

AND IT'S VERY RARE
TO FIND 2 WITNESSES

WHO DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER
TELLING THE EXACT SAME LIE.

SO THEN I THOUGHT, "WELL,
MAYBE THEY'RE JUST PRETENDING

TO BE STRANGERS." YOU TOLD ME

THAT YOUR DAUGHTER
FATIMA HAS ASTHMA,

AND DR. GRAHAM HERE IS
A PULMONARY SPECIALIST.

HE TREATS LUNG DISORDERS.

SO I WENT LOOKING
FOR THE MEDICATION

THAT THE FBI TOOK
OUT OF YOUR HOUSE,

AND LO AND BEHOLD,

PRESCRIBING PHYSICIAN
WAS NONE OTHER THAN...

DR. WILLIAM GRAHAM.

LAYLA, IT WOULD BE BETTER

TO LET ME HANDLE THIS.

WE WANT A LAWYER.

LISTEN TO ME, LAYLA,

BECAUSE I THINK YOU MAY
HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF MEN

MAKING ALL THE
DECISIONS FOR YOU,

AND IF YOU BRING
A LAWYER IN HERE,

I'M HANDING THIS WHOLE MESS
OVER TO THE MEN OF THE FBI.

THEY ALREADY HAVE FARAZ.

I THINK THEY'VE
TAKEN HIM TO EGYPT.

YOU CANNOT DO THAT.

HE IS ONLY BEHAVING THE
WAY HIS FATHER TAUGHT HIM.

HE'S... HE'S GOING THROUGH...

HE'S NOT A TERRORIST.

LAYLA, FOR GOD'S SAKE,
DON'T SPEAK. DON'T SAY A WORD.

DR. GRAHAM, YOU SAY ONE MORE
WORD, AND I'M ARRESTING YOU

FOR MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.

YOU SEE HOW EASY THAT WAS?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CEDE
ALL YOUR AUTHORITY TO A MAN.

YOU CAN MAKE THIS NEXT
DECISION ALL BY YOURSELF.

DO YOU WANT AN ATTORNEY?
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO ONE.

MAYBE YOU'D LIKE
TO REMAIN SILENT,

SINCE EVERYTHING
YOU SAY CAN AND WILL

BE USED AGAINST
YOU IN A COURT OF LAW.

BUT IF YOU WAIVE THOSE RIGHTS
FOR THE NEXT FEW MINUTES,

YOU CAN MAKE A FEW
DECISIONS YOURSELF.

I WAIVE MY RIGHTS.

SEE? YOU'RE TAKING
BACK CONTROL BIT BY BIT.

SOMEONE TAMPERED WITH THIS GUN.

YOU CAN TELL ME WHO.

AND WITH YOUR ANSWER,

YOU COULD BE
DECIDING WHO LIVES...

AND WHO DIES.

WAS IT FARAZ? DOES HE
BELONG IN A FOREIGN PRISON?

DOES HE DESERVE
TO BE TORTURED? OR...

DID YOU GLUE THIS
FIRING PIN IN PLACE?

BECAUSE YOU BEGAN HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH DR. GRAHAM.

WHO COULD BLAME YOU? RAZI
WAS TREATING YOU LIKE A PRISONER.

HE WAS TAKING YOU BACK TO IRAN.

HE WASN'T SENDING
ME BACK TO IRAN!

HE WAS SENDING ME
BACK TO THE 17TH CENTURY.

I COULDN'T LIVE LIKE THAT...

SHUT AWAY, AFRAID EVEN TO SPEAK.

THAT'S NOT A LIFE.

[SNIFFLES]

TELL ME WHAT
HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY.

OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

WE PLANNED IT...

AROUND MY DOCTOR VISIT.

WILLIAM CUT THE LINES
TO THE SECURITY CAMERAS,

AND AS WE WERE LEAVING,

COMING OUT OF THE ELEVATOR,

HE WALK... HE
WALKED OVER TO RAZI

AND FIRED THE GUN,

AND THEN HE PUT
IT IN HIS POCKET.

PLEASE, DON'T LET THEM
HURT FARAZ. PLEASE!

WILLIAM, I'M SO SORRY.

HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO SAVE ME.

I THINK YOU MAY BE ABLE TO
CONVINCE A JURY OF THAT, TOO.

BUT WHAT ABOUT JEFFREY SANDERS?

AN INNOCENT MAN THAT YOU KILLED

JUST SO YOU WOULDN'T
LEAVE BEHIND ANY WITNESSES.

THANK YOU, MS. JOHNSON. I HAVE A
FEDERAL WARRANT HERE FOR THE ARREST

OF LAYLA MOKTARI, AND I'D
CONSIDER IT A PERSONAL FAVOR

IF YOU'D TURN THE DOCTOR
OVER TO US AS WELL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?

WHAT'S GOING ON? LET...
LET MY SON GO FREE.

HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!

[BRENDA PUTS COVER ON BOX]

[FLOOR CREAKS]

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

SO I GUESS YOU HEARD.

YEAH. WE HANDED
LAYLA OVER TO THE CIA.

AND THEY'LL SEND HER
BACK TO IRAN, NO DOUBT.

A RARE INTELLIGENCE
ASSET ON THE GROUND.

WELL...

WE GOT DR. GRAHAM.

ON A PLEA DEAL.

PROBABLY SIGN A
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT,

SERVE TIME FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

THEY LURED RAZI TO HIS DEATH

AND KILLED AN INNOCENT
MAN IN THE PROCESS...

WHEN SHE COULD'VE
JUST FILED FOR DIVORCE.

I CAN'T THINK OF
A SINGLE CULTURE

WHERE THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY

FOR A WOMAN TO GAIN
HER INDEPENDENCE.

SO DID Y'ALL FIND YOUR MONEY?

FARAZ HAD HALF OF IT.
THE REST OF IT'S GONE.

YOU MUST BE UPSET.

YOU KNOW WHAT
WOULD MAKE ME UPSET?

IS IF THIS WHOLE
WORKING TOGETHER THING

SCREWED UP OUR
WHOLE OTHER THING.

FINE. LET'S GO TO DINNER.

MM-HMM.

BUT YOU'RE PAYING.
