The Closer (2005–2012): Season 2, Episode 14 - Serving the King: Part 1 - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON "THE CLOSER"...

THE PROTECTED WITNESS IS

SITTING OVER THERE
IN THE GARAGE.

SOME OLD MAFIA GUY.

Pope: WE WILL SHARE
CUSTODY OF DeLUCA

WITH AGENT HECHT,
WHO MAY STAY WITH HIM

AT AN L.A.P.D. SAFE HOUSE
WITH FLYNN AND PROVENZA.

WHAT'S WITH THE CROWN ROYAL BAG?

I KEEP MY GUN IN IT
WHEN I'M OFF DUTY.

IT WAS MARTY'S IDEA.

THE BAG IS SUPPLE. IT
HELPS KEEP THE GUN DRY.



HUH? YEAH. THAT'S IT.

Brenda: AGENT
HECHT. AGENT HECHT!

MARTY. MARTY! IT'S A TRAP.

Sanchez: HEY, MARTY.

DROP YOUR WEAPON!

CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

[OVERLAPPING POLICE
TRANSMISSIONS]

Taylor: ALL RIGHT, LIEUTENANT.

I GOT ABOUT 10 MINUTES.

WALK ME THROUGH
THIS AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

OK. THE VICTIM'S
A 16-YEAR-OLD BOY

NAMED MALIK FARA.

SITE MANAGER FOUND HIM HERE

THIS MORNING AT 8:30.



[SHUTTER CLICKS]

LOOKS LIKE HE WAS SHOT 3 TIMES?

4, ACTUALLY. HE'S
GOT ONE IN THE BACK.

THE BOY FALLS, HE TURNS OVER,

HE TRIES TO CRAWL AWAY,

HE FALLS OVER ONTO HIS BACK,

SO MALIK HERE WAS LOOKING
STRAIGHT UP AT THE KILLER

WHEN HE GOT
BLASTED IN THE CHEST.

Taylor: McHALE.

EVIDENCE SUGGESTS

THAT THERE WERE 3 PEOPLE HERE,

INCLUDING THE VICTIM.

WE HAVE 3 DIFFERENT
PAIRS OF MALE SHOES.

THESE FOOTPRINTS
HERE ARE MALIK'S,

THE BLUE TAPE.

THOSE OVER THERE
ARE THE SHOOTER'S,

THE RED TAPE.

AND THERE'S A THIRD SET OVER
BY THOSE CAR TREAD MARKS.

SO, FELLAS, ANYONE
KNOW WHY THERE'S

A DEAD ARAB TEENAGER IN
THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE?

Gabriel: THE KID'S NOT
FROM AROUND HERE,

NOT THAT ANYONE IS
FROM AROUND HERE,

BUT WE FOUND A LIBRARY
CARD IN HIS BACKPACK

THAT'S FROM MAYFLOWER ACADEMY.

MALIK MIGHT BE A RICH KID.

WHAT ELSE DID HE
HAVE, DETECTIVE ROSS?

SOME SHEET MUSIC, BUS SCHEDULE,

A CHANGE OF CLOTHES,

TOOTHBRUSH, AND SOME SANDWICHES.

LOOKS LIKE HE WAS
GOING SOMEWHERE.

McHale: MAYBE HE WAS MEETING
THE PERSON IN THAT CAR,

GOT SURPRISED BY THE SHOOTER.

THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN
WHY MALIK BROUGHT

A KNIFE WITH HIM.

Taylor: WHAT KNIFE?

OVER HERE.

LET'S START AT THE BEGINNING.

SO WE GOT 3 PEOPLE.
THERE'S MALIK,

AND OVER THERE, THERE'S THE GUY

IN THE CAR WE BELIEVE
MALIK WAS LOOKING

TO MEET UP WITH, AND
THEN THERE'S OUR KILLER.

NOW IF WE FOLLOW
THE KID'S FOOTPRINTS,

HE WALKS TOWARDS THE CAR,

AND THEN FROM BEHIND
COMES THE KILLER.

MALIK AND THE KILLER
STRUGGLE FOR A MOMENT,

MALIK STABS HIM,
PROBABLY IN THE LEG,

BECAUSE THERE'S A BLOOD TRAIL,

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE
GUY WAS DRAGGING HIS FOOT

OR MAYBE LIMPING.

HOW DO WE KNOW IT WAS
THE BOY WHO HAD THE KNIFE?

WE FOUND A SLIT IN THE POCKET

OF THE JACKET

WHERE THE KNIFE CUT THROUGH.

COMMANDER, THIS BOY
WAS SCARED OF SOMEONE.

SO MALIK STABS THE
SHOOTER, MAYBE IN THE LEG.

MALIK STARTS RUNNING.

BAM! SHOOTER HITS
BOY IN THE BACK.

Gabriel: WELL, MAYBE.
WE FOUND TWO CASINGS

OVER HERE WHERE THE
TWO OF THEM STRUGGLED

AND THEN 3 MORE UP BY THE BODY,

PROBABLY FROM THE CHEST WOUNDS,

AND THEN 3 MORE A
LITTLE FURTHER ON.

I MEAN, IT WAS NIGHTTIME,
SO THE KID PROBABLY...

McHale: THE SITE
MANAGER I INTERVIEWED

SAID THAT NOBODY

FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY'S

BEEN HERE FOR 48 HOURS,

SO THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED

DURING THE DAY YESTERDAY.

WELL, NOT EXACTLY,
BECAUSE IT DIDN'T STOP RAINING

UNTIL ABOUT 6:00 P.M. YESTERDAY,

AND THESE MUDDY
FOOTPRINTS WERE MADE

SOMETIME AFTER THE
STORM, DETECTIVE.

Taylor: HOW DID ALL
THESE PEOPLE GET HERE?

I THINK IT'S SAFE TO
ASSUME THEY ALL DROVE.

WE ONLY FOUND
EVIDENCE OF ONE CAR, SIR.

Flynn: LOOK. WE
SHOULD PROBABLY WIDEN

THE SEARCH PERIMETER,
GET SOME MORE PERSONNEL...

WE CAN'T SPARE THE RESOURCES

RIGHT NOW, LIEUTENANT.

THERE WAS A MURDER/SUICIDE

IN HOLLYWOOD LAST NIGHT.

BESIDES, THE EVIDENCE SEEMS

PRETTY MUCH LOCALIZED.

WELL, WE WON'T KNOW THAT
UNLESS WE EXPAND THE PERIMETER.

AFTER 4 MONTHS, YOU
BOYS SHOULD REALIZE,

WE'RE NOT PLAYING THIS GAME

BY ATLANTA RULES ANYMORE, OK?

SOMEONE GET SAMPLES
OF THE BLOOD TO THE LAB.

THOSE CASINGS GO TO BALLISTICS.

YOU CHECK WITH
THE LOCAL HOSPITALS,

SEE IF ANYONE WALKED IN

WITH A KNIFE WOUND TO THE LEG

AND TRY AND WRAP THIS UP.

A LOT OF PEOPLE
DYING IN L.A. THIS WEEK.

[DOOR OPENS]

WOW. A 5-MILE RUN IN 15 MINUTES.

THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING.

HOW FAR DID YOU GET THIS TIME?

ALL THE WAY TO THAT
PASTRY SHOP I HATE.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE AN IDEA.

WHY DON'T YOU CALL
SOMEONE FROM WORK

AND ASK THEM OUT TO LUNCH?

LIKE WHO?

DID YOU EVER CALL TAO BACK?

LIEUTENANT TAO DOESN'T HAVE TIME

TO HAVE LUNCH WITH ME.

BESIDES, HE'S BEEN REASSIGNED

BACK TO S.I.D.

REALLY?

WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?

LAST THURSDAY.

DANIELS WAS SENT TO LIAISON

WITH HOMELAND SECURITY.

I GOT AN E-MAIL FROM HER.

TAYLOR'S USING MY
PAID ADMINISTRATIVE

LEAVE TO RIP MY SQUAD APART.

WELL, YOU GOT... OW!

SORRY.

[SIGHS]

SANCHEZ AND PROVENZA,

I'M SURE THEY WOULD
LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

THEY'RE IN THE SAME
SITUATION YOU ARE.

THEY ARE NOT!

SANCHEZ AND PROVENZA

ARE BEING INVESTIGATED
BY INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

MAYBE IF PROVENZA
HADN'T LEFT HIS GUN

IN HIS DESK DRAWER
IN A LIQUOR BAG

AND SANCHEZ HADN'T
SHOT THAT GUY 4 TIMES,

THEN THE F.B.I. WOULDN'T
BE USING THE FACT...

LET'S... LET'S NOT GO
THROUGH THIS AGAIN.

THAT A FEDERAL AGENT
WAS SHOT TO DEATH

IN MY MURDER ROOM
BY ONE OF THEIR OWN

PROTECTED WITNESSES
TO RUIN MY CAREER,

AND YOU KNOW IT,

YOU KNOW IT, YOU KNOW IT.

IS THERE ANY WAY

TO NOT HAVE THIS ARGUMENT AGAIN?

I'M NOT THE F.B.I. I
JUST WORK THERE,

AND PAID ADMINISTRATIVE
LEAVE IS NOT ALL BAD.

YOU'RE GETTING A
CHECK TO JUST HANG OUT

WHILE THE BUREAU FINISHES
THEIR INVESTIGATION.

[GRUNTS]

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
HAVE LUNCH WITH SOMEONE,

WHY DON'T YOU USE
THAT TIME TO FINISH OFF

SOME OF THE MANY
PROJECTS YOU'VE STARTED?

OR MAYBE CLEAN THEM UP.

I CAN'T HAVE LUNCH
WITH ANYONE TODAY

BECAUSE POPE HAS CALLED ME IN

FOR ANOTHER MEETING,

AND HE WON'T SAY WHAT IT IS,

SO IT'S BAD,

AND IF YOU COULD JUST FIND OUT

WHAT THE F.B.I.'s
SAYING ABOUT ME,

MAYBE I SHOULD JUST
START LOOKING FOR WORK.

I WILL TELL YOU IMMEDIATELY.

YOU KNOW I WOULD.

HONESTLY, I WOULD.

OK. I...

HEY, 4 MONTHS SEEMS LONG,

BUT IT'S ROUTINE

FOR AN INVESTIGATION LIKE THIS.

RIGHT NOW, I HAVE TO, UH...

YOU HAVE TO GO TO WORK.

I DO, I DO.

DON'T GO TO WORK.

LOOK. AFTER YOU SEE POPE,

YOU'LL CALL ME, OK?

OK.

AND I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

GOT TO GO.

OK. OK.

WHAT ABOUT MALIK'S
FAMILY? McHALE?

THEY'RE LEBANESE.

FATHER'S DECEASED,
MOM WORKS NIGHTS.

HAS NO IDEA WHY MALIK
WOULD BE OUT THAT LATE.

HE NEVER DID THAT
BEFORE, DOESN'T HAVE A CAR,

AND THE MOTHER SAID
HE'D NEVER RUN AWAY.

WHAT ELSE? OH.

MALIK WAS SOME KIND
OF HARDCORE PIANIST.

PLAYED IN COMPETITIONS,

DIDN'T HAVE TIME
FOR GIRLS OR FRIENDS.

FLYNN, ANYTHING
FROM THE HOSPITALS?

LAST NIGHT WAS A RARE ONE.

NOT ONE STAB WOUND REPORTED

IN ALL OF L.A. COUNTY.

REALLY?

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS

ABOUT THIS "N-L-E-R-N-L-W-L"

ON THE BOY'S HAND?

COULD BE INITIALS, MAYBE A GIRL.

WITH A LONG, LONG,
VERY LONG NAME.

COME ON. ROSS, HURRY IT UP.

OK. THE Cs SHOW WHERE
WE FOUND CASINGS.

THESE DIFFERENT-COLORED
LINES ARE THE PATHS

OUR 3 PLAYERS TOOK.

THIS IS MALIK,
THIS IS THE KILLER,

AND THIS IS THE
GUY FROM THE CAR.

THE CASINGS EJECT TO
THE RIGHT OF THE GUN,

SO WE CAN TELL WHERE
OUR SHOOTER STOOD

FROM THE ROUNDS THAT HE FIRED.

ONE, THE KILLER GRABS THE KID,

AND THEY STRUGGLE,
AND THE GUN GOES OFF.

TWO, HE SHOT MALIK
IN THE BACK FROM HERE.

THREE, HE SHOT AT
THE GUY IN THE CAR

ONCE HERE, TWICE HERE.

AND THE LAST 3 CASINGS,

THE KILLER LIMPS BACK TO MALIK

AND SHOOTS HIM IN THE CHEST.

NOW GOING BACK TO THE
VEHICLES FOR A SECOND...

WAIT A MINUTE,
ROSS. WAIT A MINUTE.

GIVE ME THIS.

NOW, LOOK WHERE THE
ASSAILANT GRABBED MALIK.

THE BRUISES ON THE
BOY'S NECK INDICATE

THAT THE KILLER HAD HIM IN
SOME KIND OF SERIOUS CHOKE HOLD.

SERGEANT GABRIEL.

NOW HE COULD HAVE
STRANGLED HIM THEN

OR SHOT HIM. HE HAD HIS GUN OUT.

INSTEAD, THE KILLER
SHOOTS FORWARD TRYING TO...

HIT THE GUY IN THE CAR.

MALIK STABS HIS
ASSAILANT, HE TAKES OFF,

HIS KILLER SHOOTS
HIM IN THE BACK,

BUT EVEN AFTER SHOOTING
HIM, HE DOESN'T FINISH HIM OFF.

HE WALKS RIGHT PAST HIM...

TRYING TO SHOOT
THE GUY IN THE CAR.

MALIK WAS NOT THE
PRIMARY TARGET.

BUT MALIK'S OUR VICTIM.

ROSS, YOU WERE SAYING SOMETHING

ABOUT THE VEHICLE?

Ross: YEAH. THE KILLER'S
BLOOD TRAIL STOPS HERE,

SO IT'S PROBABLY
WHERE HE PARKED.

EXCUSE ME.

OVER HERE, THE GUY WHO RAN AWAY,

FISHTAILS OFF IN
HIS VEHICLE UNHIT.

WE FOUND NO EVIDENCE
OF BROKEN GLASS,

PAINT CHIPS, OR
BULLET FRAGMENTS.

AND HOW DID MALIK GET THERE?

Gabriel: YOU REMEMBER
THE BUS SCHEDULE

WE FOUND IN THE KID'S BACKPACK.

THERE'S A STOP ABOUT
3/4 OF A MILE AWAY.

I CONTACTED THE M.T.A.

THEY TRACKED DOWN THE
DRIVER OF THE BUS LAST NIGHT.

AND HE SAID HE REMEMBERS

SEEING MALIK GET
OFF AROUND 10:00 P.M.

SO THE KID WALKS ALMOST A MILE

IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT TO
THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE,

AND HE BROUGHT A KNIFE
WITH HIM TO A GUNFIGHT.

WHY?

ALL RIGHT.

DETECTIVES ROSS AND McHALE,

SEE IF YOU CAN SPEED UP

THE D.N.A. TEST

FROM THE BLOOD ON THE KNIFE.

GABRIEL, FLYNN,

WHY DON'T YOU TWO FOCUS

ON THAT MURDER-SUICIDE FOR NOW?

ROSS AND McHALE CAN HANDLE THIS.

OH. AND THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

THANK Y'ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH.

♪ THANK YOU ♪

OH, I'M SORRY,
WILL... UH, CHIEF POPE.

I WAS TOLD THAT YOU
WERE READY FOR ME.

NO. WE ARE. AN
OLD FRIEND OF OURS

WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU.

YOU REMEMBER ANDREW SCHMIDT?

ANDREW, W-WHAT
ARE YOU DOING HERE?

NICE TO SEE YOU
AGAIN, TOO, BRENDA.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I MEAN, IT'S... IT'S
NICE TO SEE YOU, BUT...

WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

SHE WAS ALWAYS VERY QUICK

TO GET TO THE POINT, WASN'T SHE?

AND YOU DON'T SEEM
TO HAVE AGED AT ALL.

NEITHER HAVE YOU, SIR.

SHE'S ALSO ONE OF THE BEST LIARS

I HAVE EVER KNOWN.

AS TO WHY I AM HERE...

COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT THINKS

HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE

THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATION

INTO THE SHOOTING
IN YOUR SQUAD ROOM

GO AWAY.

UH, PARDON ME, ANDREW,

BECAUSE THAT'S A
VERY GENEROUS OFFER

AND IT'S GOOD TO
SEE A FRIENDLY FACE,

BUT WHY IS THE C.I.A.
INTERESTED IN HELPING ME?

OH, THEY AREN'T.

IN FACT, THE C.I.A.

WANTS YOU TO HELP THEM,

AND IF YOU DID,

THE COMPANY WOULD MAKE CERTAIN

THAT YOU GOT YOUR JOB BACK

AS A MEANS OF EXPRESSING

THEIR THANKS.

AND IF I DON'T?

THEN THERE WILL BE NOTHING

TO THANK YOU FOR.

OK. HOW CAN I HELP?

Pope: AN ARAB BOY
NAMED MALIK FARA

WAS FOUND MURDERED THIS MORNING.

COMMANDER TAYLOR
IS INVESTIGATING IT

WITH WHAT'S LEFT OF YOUR SQUAD.

BUT MR. TAYLOR LACKS
CRITICAL INFORMATION

NECESSARY TO SOLVING THIS CRIME.

THE L.A.P.D. HAS ITS OWN
INTELLIGENCE DIVISION.

THEY CAN HANDLE THIS.

UNFORTUNATELY, MALIK'S MURDER

IS PROOF THAT THERE IS

A SIGNIFICANT BREACH

IN AGENCY SECURITY.

THE COMPANY COULD
NOT SAFELY RELY

ON OFFICIAL CHANNELS,

WHICH IS WHY THEY'VE REACHED OUT

TO RETIRED PERSONNEL
LIKE YOU AND ME.

THEY DON'T TRUST
THEIR OWN PEOPLE?

THEY DO NOT.

AND ALL YOU NEED FROM ME

IS TO INVESTIGATE THE
MURDER OF THIS BOY?

HERE'S WHAT I CAN TELL YOU

IN ADVANCE OF AN AGREEMENT.

THE DEATH OF MALIK FARA

WAS ALMOST CERTAINLY A MISTAKE.

THE INTENDED VICTIM,
IF HE'S STILL ALIVE,

IS IN TERRIBLE DANGER.

WE MUST DO EVERYTHING WE CAN

TO SAVE HIM.

LASTLY, THE PERSON

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS

MUST BE FOUND, DEBRIEFED,

AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I NEED MY SQUAD TO DO THIS.

I CAN'T GIVE IT TO YOU LEGALLY.

YOU'RE STILL UNDER
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION.

IF ANDREW CAN MAKE THIS
GO AWAY WHEN I'M DONE,

WHY CAN'T HE DO IT NOW?

THERE IS A FEAR

RELATED TO YOUR PAST BEHAVIOR

THAT YOU MIGHT BE TEMPTED

TO SUBSTITUTE YOUR
OWN AGENDA FOR OURS.

WELL, HOW CAN I BE EXPECTED

TO CONDUCT THIS INVESTIGATION

RIGHT UNDER TAYLOR'S NOSE ALONE?

I DIDN'T SAY YOU
HAD TO WORK ALONE.

I SAID YOU CAN'T HAVE
YOUR SQUAD BACK LEGALLY.

HOW YOU MANAGE YOUR RESOURCES

IS UP TO YOU.

HOW IS YOUR MEMORY HOLDING UP?

IT'S EXCELLENT.

IF YOU COULD COME
TO THIS ADDRESS...

THIS EVENING AT 9:00.

AND, UM, BRENDA, PLEASE BE SURE

YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWED, HMM?

I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.

BE VERY CAREFUL.

[GATE CREAKING]

I... I HOPE YOU HAVE A
WRITTEN AGREEMENT

STATING THAT IF I
SOLVE THIS MURDER

FOR YOU I GET MY JOB BACK.

OH, I DO, I DO. PLEASE SIT.

UH, HERE ARE SOME
FILES YOU WILL WANT.

A DATABASE, ONE OF OUR LAPTOPS,

AND A PHONE WITH
YOUR HELLO NUMBER.

WHEN YOU WANT TO CHECK IN,

IDENTIFY YOURSELF
AS GWEN AND ASK

FOR MR. SCHMIDT,
AND THEY'LL FIND ME.

OH. AND HERE'S THE AGREEMENT

THAT YOU NEED TO READ AND
SIGN BEFORE WE CAN PROCEED.

OH. VOILA.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

[ANDREW SIGHS]

ODD, ISN'T IT,

HOW OUR ENEMIES NEVER CHANGE?

DURING WORLD WAR II,
THEY RECITED "MEIN KAMPF"

WHILE SHOVING PEOPLE
INTO GAS CHAMBERS,

AND DURING MOST OF
MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE,

THEY, UH, SHOT YOU IN
THE BACK OF THE HEAD,

QUOTING MARX AND ENGELS,

AND NOW THEY MISUSE THE KORAN.

SAME PEOPLE, DIFFERENT BOOKS.

WHAT WAS OPERATION FIREPROOF?

YOUR SIGNATURE, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

OPERATION FIREPROOF
WAS A COLLECTIONS NETWORK

COMPRISED OF 4 AGENTS,
WHO WERE RECRUITED

FROM WITHIN THE LOS
ANGELES IRANIAN COMMUNITY.

FIREPROOF'S FOCUS WAS
ON FOREIGN NATIONALS

WHO WERE TRYING TO OBTAIN

NUCLEAR WEAPONS
TECHNOLOGY FOR TEHRAN,

AND FOR A SEASON,

FIREPROOF WAS
CONSIDERED SUCCESSFUL

UNTIL ALL 4 OF ITS
AGENTS WERE MURDERED,

ONE AFTER THE
OTHER, TWO WEEKS AGO.

AND THE CASE OFFICER IN CHARGE

OF OPERATION FIREPROOF,

LARRY COLE... IS HE STILL ALIVE?

YES. AND THAT'S TROUBLING.

I'LL SAY. WHY ROLL UP THE CHAIN

AND LEAVE THE ANCHOR IN PLACE?

AND THIS MALIK FARA?

TELL ME, HOW DID A C.I.A.
OFFICER GET INVOLVED

WITH AN ADOLESCENT LEBANESE

CONCERT PIANIST?

ONE DAY LAST SEPTEMBER,
MR. COLE WAS INTERCEPTED

IN AN L.A. PARKING GARAGE
BY THIS BOY... MALIK...

WHO QUIETLY PROCEEDED
TO RECITE THE REAL NAMES

OF EVERY MEMBER OF
OPERATION FIREPROOF.

FIREPROOF WAS HIGHLY CLASSIFIED,

SO THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY

THAT MALIK COULD POSSIBLY
OBTAIN THAT INFORMATION.

THE AGENCY HAS A MOLE.

I'VE ALWAYS PREFERRED
TO USE THE WORD TRAITOR,

ESPECIALLY WHEN BLOOD WAS SPILT.

AND OUR TRAITOR IS
FEEDING INFORMATION

TO A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE
MALIK DESCRIBED

THE SOURCE OF HIS KNOWLEDGE

AS A HIGHLY TRUSTED CONTACT
WITHIN THE ARMY OF ALLAH.

NOW, MALIK'S CONTACT
WAS WILLING TO DEFECT TO US

ON TWO CONDITIONS,

FIRST, THAT WE
PROVIDE HIM AND MALIK

WITH IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION,

AND THEN THAT WE
SHOULD GRANT THEM BOTH

U.S. CITIZENSHIP.

[GATE CREAKING]

Man: I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

Woman: GOOD NIGHT.

I'M SORRY. I... I'M
A BIT ON EDGE.

SO DID LARRY COLE

TELL HIS BOSSES ABOUT MALIK?

NOT AT FIRST.

IT TOOK MR. COLE A
MONTH TO MAKE SURE

THE BOY WAS SAFE,

BUT THEN WHEN HE
REPORTED MALIK'S EXISTENCE...

NO ONE BELIEVED HIM. YEAH.

WELL, THE STORY IS SPECTACULAR.

AND THIS FRIEND OF MALIK,

THIS TERRORIST CONTACT
IN THE ARMY OF ALLAH,

YOU THINK HE'LL LEAD
YOU TO YOUR TRAITOR?

PERHAPS.

AND WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO,

CATCH MALIK'S MURDERER

OR LOCATE THIS CONTACT?

I SHOULD LIKE YOU TO DO BOTH.

I'M JUST, UM...

I WANT MY JOB BACK,

BUT I'M A CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATOR, ANDREW.

FINDING OUT WHO KILLED MALIK,

THAT'S MY PROFESSION.

HANDING OVER POTENTIAL DEFECTORS

TO THE C.I.A. WITHOUT
KNOWING WHY

OR WHAT YOU'RE
GONNA DO WITH THEM,

I DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE.

I BELIEVE THAT THE ARMY OF ALLAH

HAS COLLECTED

ENOUGH SEPARATED PLUTONIUM

TO CREATE AN ATOMIC BOMB.

I NEED TO FIND

THAT SEPARATED PLUTONIUM,

AND I NEED YOU TO HELP ME.

STEALING INFORMATION,

PASSING SECRETS,

READING OTHER PEOPLE'S MAIL,

BLACKMAILING FOREIGNERS,

LYING TO YOUR FRIENDS

AND YOUR LOVED ONES

ABOUT YOUR DAILY LIVES...

WE ARE MOST DAYS GRAY PEOPLE

DOING GRAY JOBS,

SHADOWS IN A WORLD
OF BLACK AND WHITE,

BUT THEN, YOU KNOW,

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

WE'RE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY

WHERE WE HAVE THE CHANCE

TO DO SOMETHING

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

TO ITS VERY CORE!

THIS IS ONE OF
THOSE TIMES, BRENDA.

I'LL HELP YOU, ANDREW...

IF I CAN TALK TO WHO I WANT.

PEOPLE WILL COOPERATE?

COMPANY PEOPLE, YES.

RICHARD BRANCH,

CHIEF OF OUR OUTPOST
IN LOS ANGELES.

IF YOU TELL HIM WHAT YOU WANT,

RICHARD WILL ARRANGE IT.

THIS FRIEND OF MALIK'S,

WHAT POSITION DOES HE
HOLD IN THE ARMY OF ALLAH?

I DON'T KNOW.

HOW DID HE COMMUNICATE
WITH MALIK? I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT'S HIS NATIONALITY?
I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE?

I DON'T KNOW.

HOW OLD IS HE? I DON'T KNOW.

THEN HOW IN THE HELL
YOU PLAN ON FINDING HIM?

HE'S PROBABLY ON THE DATABASE

OF POSSIBLE TERRORIST ASSOCIATES

I WAS GIVEN ACCESS TO.

TERRORIST ASSOCIATES. YEAH.

HOW MANY NAMES IN THAT DATABASE?

APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

OH, CRAPOLA.

NOW I'M GETTING IRRITATED.

WHY ARE YOU EVEN
LOOKING FOR THIS GUY

IF HE'S NOT THE KILLER?

BECAUSE HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER

AND BECAUSE HE MIGHT
HAVE INFORMATION

THE C.I.A. WANTS.

LET'S GET BACK TO
THAT FOR A MINUTE.

I STILL DON'T GET WHY THE C.I.A.

IS ASKING YOU TO DO ANYTHING.

I TOLD YOU ALREADY, LIEUTENANT.

THEY CAME TO ME OUT OF THE BLUE

WITH THIS OFFER,

AND IF IT GETS US

BACK IN THE SQUAD ROOM...

DON'T KID YOURSELF, CHIEF.

I'LL HELP YOU OUT. I
GOT NOTHING ELSE TO DO,

BUT I COULD FIND
THE LINDBERGH BABY,

AND IT WOULDN'T GET ME
BACK INTO OUR SQUAD ROOM.

NO, NO, NO. THE L.A.P.D.
IS RETIRING MY ASS.

I WON'T LET THEM.

DON'T MAKE PROMISES
YOU CAN'T KEEP.

SO...

WHERE DO WE START?

WELL, UM, I DON'T
FULLY UNDERSTAND

HOW MALIK CAME
TO BE WHERE HE WAS,

SO I WANT TO SEE WHERE HE DIED,

BUT I WANT TO SEE IT
LIKE HE DID... AT NIGHT.

AND WE MIGHT NEED A LITTLE HELP.

THANKS FOR YOUR
HELP, LIEUTENANT FLYNN.

I KNOW YOU HAVE OTHER WORK.

THAT'S OK, CHIEF. I'VE
GOT GABRIEL COVERING IT.

BESIDES, IT'S A MURDER-SUICIDE.

EXCEPT FOR THE PAPERWORK,

IT KIND OF SOLVES ITSELF.

ANYWAY, THE CRIME SCENE
IS RIGHT THROUGH THIS GATE.

THAT'S WHERE HE DIED.

I WANT TO FIND OUT
HOW HE GOT THERE.

WELL, WOULDN'T HE GO IN

THROUGH THE MAIN ROAD HERE?

IF HE WAS IN A CAR,
BUT HE WAS ON FOOT.

EXCUSE ME.

HOW ARE THINGS
GOING WITH TAYLOR?

OH, JUST GREAT.

HE'S BEEN PASSING
INVESTIGATIONS OFF

TO OTHER DIVISIONS AND
COUNTING THEM AS CLEARED.

SO ON PAPER, WE'RE
DOING 30% BETTER.

ASSHOLE. LOOK.

WHAT? THERE.

WHAT'S THAT? AN
ILLUMINATED MARKER.

WHO WOULD NOTICE THAT?

SOMEONE WHO'S LOOKING FOR IT.

Provenza: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

THIS IS CREEPY.

YOU WANT ME TO HOLD YOU?

Brenda: OK.

"N" AND "L."

NOW, LET'S GO
NORTH AND LOOK LEFT.

WHICH WAY IS NORTH?

NORTH IS... THIS WAY.

NORTH AND LOOK LEFT.

LOOK AT THAT.

OK, LAST ONE. GO
WEST AND LOOK LEFT.

I TOLD TAYLOR WE SHOULD
EXPAND THE CRIME SCENE.

NO, THIS IS PHOSPHORESCENT DYE.

IT WOULDN'T HAVE SHOWN
UP IN THE DAYTIME ANYWAY.

LET'S KEEP FOLLOWING
MALIK'S DIRECTIONS.

HOW DOES SHE KNOW
ABOUT THIS STUFF?

Flynn: SO, CHIEF,
THE CRIME SCENE'S

JUST UP THAT HILL A PIECE.

OK.

SO ALL THESE
MARKERS ARE SO MALIK

CAN FIND HIS WAY

WHILE BEING SURE
HE WASN'T FOLLOWED.

AND HE WOULD HAVE ARRIVED HERE

FEELING LIKE HE
AVOIDED SURVEILLANCE,

AND HE WAITED UNTIL

THE GUY IN THE CAR DROVE UP.

WAS THERE ANYTHING
IN HIS KNAPSACK

HE COULD HAVE USED
TO SIGNAL HIS FRIEND?

NO, CHIEF.

WAIT, WAIT. WHAT ABOUT THIS?

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

A TRANSMITTER.

HUH.

THAT EXPLAINS HOW
MALIK WAS FOLLOWED HERE.

AND WHY HE DIDN'T KNOW IT.

SO TAYLOR IS INVESTIGATING

THE MURDER OF MALIK
FROM THE BOY'S END,

AND WE'D BETTER LEAVE HIM TO IT.

SO LET'S DISCUSS WHAT WE KNOW

ABOUT THE GUY FROM THE CAR...

MALIK'S FRIEND.

FIRST, HE'S FOREIGN
BECAUSE ONE OF

THE THINGS HE ASKED
FOR WAS U.S. CITIZENSHIP,

AND HE ASKED FOR
IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION,

SO HE'S PARTICIPATED
IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY,

PROBABLY TERRORISM.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT
HE COMMUNICATED

WITH MALIK RECENTLY

BECAUSE THE BOY
HAD FRESHLY WRITTEN

DIRECTIONS ON HIS HAND.

AND I THINK THAT WE CAN ASSUME

THAT THE GUY FROM THE CAR
PICKED THE RENDEZVOUS POINT.

WE ALSO KNOW HE GOT THERE

SOMETIME AFTER 6:00,
WHEN IT STOPPED RAINING,

BECAUSE THE DYE HE USED
TO MARK MALIK'S ROUTE

WOULD HAVE WASHED
AWAY IN THE RAIN.

AND WE ALMOST HAVE HIS HEIGHT.

HE HAD A SIZE 12 SHOE,

PLUS RUNNING BACK TO THE CAR,

HIS STRIDE WAS AT LEAST

5 FEET LONG.

SO HE'S GOT TO BE 6 FEET TALL.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

SHH! SHH! WHAT IS...

[WHISPERING] What
is wrong with you?

THE GUY... LET'S CALL HIM MR. T.

"T" FOR TERRORIST.

SO MR. T. HAS BEEN IN L.A.

LONGER THAN JUST YESTERDAY,

BECAUSE THE PLACE HE CHOSE

FOR THE MEETING WITH MALIK

IS NOT ON A LOT OF TOUR GUIDES.

Howard: BRENDA, COME TO BED.

Brenda: LET'S WRAP THIS UP.

UH, WE STILL HAVE NOT
NARROWED DOWN VERY MUCH

WHO MR. T. MIGHT BE,
AND WE KNOW NOTHING

OF HOW HE
COMMUNICATED WITH MALIK.

UM... THIS IS GONNA BE HARD.

LIEUTENANT FLYNN, IF
YOU AND SERGEANT GABRIEL

COULD COPY THE MALIK
MURDER BOOK FOR ME

WITHOUT TAYLOR
FINDING OUT ABOUT IT.

AND, UM, IF THE KILLER'S D.N.A.

CAME BACK FROM THAT KNIFE,

I'D LIKE THAT, TOO, PLEASE.

YES, MA'AM. I'LL HELP YOU

ANY WAY I CAN,

BUT MAINLY BECAUSE
I REALLY MISS HEARING

THE WORD "PLEASE."

UH, LIEUTENANT PROVENZA AND I

ARE GOING TO LOOK FOR THE KILLER

WITHOUT CREATING
TOO MUCH TENSION.

HOW DO YOU INTEND TO DO THAT?

BY GOING WHERE TAYLOR CAN'T.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, SERGEANT. THANK YOU.

GOOD NIGHT, CHIEF.

WAIT A MINUTE. W-WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
TELL THEM ANYTHING

ABOUT THIS OPERATION FIREPROOF?

I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT

MYSELF YET, LIEUTENANT.

THAT'S WHY TOMORROW
I'M MEETING WITH

SOME OF THE PEOPLE
THAT PUT IT TOGETHER.

THIS RICHARD BRANCH, WHO
HEADS UP THE C.I.A. SHOW

HERE IN LOS ANGELES.

HE'S GONNA TAKE ME AROUND.

THIS IS DANGEROUS.

WE KNOW OF 5 PEOPLE

ALREADY CONNECTED TO FIREPROOF

WHO HAVE BEEN MURDERED.

SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME,

I'M GONNA NEED YOU
TO BE ABLE TO REPORT

ON THE SUBSTANCE
OF WHAT I'VE DONE,

BUT YOU CAN'T BE AT
ANY OF THE INTERVIEWS,

AND THE C.I.A. CAN'T
KNOW ABOUT IT.

OK, DOUBLE-O-7.

JUST TELL ME WHAT
YOU WANT ME TO DO.

[RING]

BUZZ WATSON. HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

CHIEF JOHNSON WANTS WHAT?

PUSH THE OTHER BUTTON.

I CAN'T HEAR VERY WELL.

YOU KNOW, IT'D BE
EASIER IF YOU DROVE

AND LET ME HANDLE THE EQUIPMENT.

SINCE WHEN HAVE I EVER WANTED

TO MAKE THINGS EASY FOR YOU?

RIGHT.

Brenda: SO, RICHARD,
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN

CHIEF OF OUTPOST
HERE IN LOS ANGELES?

TWO YEARS, SO I WAS
IN CHARGE OUT HERE

DURING SOME OF FIREPROOF,

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT THE OPERATION

WAS ABOUT UNTIL ANDREW SHOWED UP

ASKING QUESTIONS.

AND WHEN WAS THAT?

UH, RIGHT AFTER
LARRY COLE WAS FIRED.

OH, I THOUGHT ANDREW DIDN'T COME

UNTIL FIREPROOF'S
AGENTS STARTED DYING.

NO, NO. HE WAS HERE
MUCH EARLIER THAN THAT.

OK. PULL OVER, BUZZ. PULL
OVER. THEY'VE STOPPED.

PULL OVER. PULL OVER!

GIVE ME A SECOND.

I MIGHT OUGHT TO TELL YOU

THAT ELAINE DONAHUE
IS ANGRY ABOUT THIS.

TO HER WAY OF THINKING,

SHE ORGANIZED
FIREPROOF PERFECTLY

AND IT'S STILL A BIG SUCCESS,

SO BE CAREFUL HOW
YOU APPROACH HER.

SHE CAN BE A RAVING BITCH.

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE.

AND BY WHAT NAME WOULD YOU LIKE

TO BE INTRODUCED?

YOU CAN CALL ME BRENDA.

THE RAVING BITCH
AND I ARE OLD FRIENDS.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

[CHUCKLES]

HELLO. HELLO.

MY NAME'S CYNTHIA.

I WON'T BOTHER TO
ASK YOUR NAMES,

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'D ONLY LIE.

MY MOTHER'S EXPECTING
YOU IN THE BACK.

I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU KEPT

YOUR QUESTIONS TO A MINIMUM.

EVEN THOUGH SHE'S
DESPERATELY LONELY,

SHE'S BEEN EMOTIONALLY EXHAUSTED

FROM THE WAY YOU PEOPLE
HAVE TREATED HER, SO...

HURRY IT UP.

THANK YOU.

BRENDA LEIGH JOHNSON!

WHICH OF MY OLD STUDENTS
COULD ANDREW HAVE SENT

TO MORE LIGHTEN MY MOOD?

RICHARD, GOOD OF YOU TO COME.

NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO, ELAINE.

I SET THIS ALL OUT LAST NIGHT

WHILE CYNTHIA WAS ASLEEP.

SHE'S ANGRY ON MY
BEHALF, YOU KNOW.

DID YOU HEAR, BRENDA?

RICHARD IS MY NEW BOSS.

ONE DAY I'M READING
HIS REPORTS AT LANGLEY,

FEELING SLIGHTLY SORRY
FOR HIS BACKWATER POSTING,

AND THE VERY NEXT
WEEK, I AM SHUFFLED OFF

TO BE OFFICER IN
RESIDENCE AT UCLA,

WRITING UP LITTLE SUMMARIES
ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS.

SUCH A CHANGE OF PACE.

I HOPE YOU LIKE THE CAKE.

IT'S STORE-BOUGHT,
BUT FROM A GOOD STORE.

DEVIL'S FOOD.

THANK YOU, ELAINE.
THAT'S SO NICE OF YOU.

SO HOW IS ANDREW, ANYWAY?

I HEARD HE LOOKS HORRIBLE.

SOMEONE SAID CANCER.

HOPE THAT'S NOT TRUE.

SO I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU COULD TELL ME

ABOUT OPERATION FIREPROOF.

OF COURSE. THAT'S WHY
WE'RE SITTING HERE, ISN'T IT?

BECAUSE ANDREW SAYS
FIREPROOF BLEW UP IN MY FACE,

WHICH IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT.

I MADE COFFEE. ANYONE?

NO, THANK YOU. NOT ME.

OK, SO THE SET PIECE.

AFTER THE INVASION OF IRAQ,

THE C.I.A.'s DOMESTIC
ACTIVITIES DIVISION

APPROVES A COLLECTION
OPERATION CODE NAMED FIREPROOF.

FIREPROOF'S FIRST
RECRUITED AGENT

TURNS OUT TO BE A GOLD MINE...

MR. MOHAMMED NUBALLE,

AN IRANIAN BANKER
LIVING IN L.A.,

WITH CONNECTIONS
TO THE ARMY OF ALLAH.

HE WAS TRANSFERRING
LARGE WADS OF CASH

FROM AN ARMY OF ALLAH CHARITY
TO A RUSSIAN ENTREPRENEUR,

A FORMER K.G.B.
OFFICER NAMED VOITSKI.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF
A MILITARY BASE IN RUSSIA

CALLED KRASNY SZESENSKI?

IT TRANSLATES INTO ENGLISH AS...

RED PINES. I REMEMBER.

IT'S A NUCLEAR
MISSILE INSTALLATION.

CORRECT. THAT'S WHAT
MR. VOITSKI SOLD TO

THE ARMY OF ALLAH, MY DEAR.

A DECOMMISSIONED MISSILE.

IN PARTS. USELESS AS
A WEAPON, BUT STILL.

I FIND THAT A LITTLE
HARD TO BELIEVE.

ELAINE, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

THE ARMY OF ALLAH
WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF

BUYING A RUSSIAN
NUCLEAR MISSILE?

I DON'T THINK.

I KNOW.

WE FOUND ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE

PROVING THAT'S WHAT
THEY WERE GONNA DO,

AND I CONVINCED THE
COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

TO LET VOITSKI SELL THE
ARMY OF ALLAH THAT MISSILE

AND TO FOCUS EVERY
CONCEIVABLE SURVEILLANCE ASSET

ON FOLLOWING THAT MISSILE
FROM RED PINES TO BERLIN.

AND ELAINE SUCCEEDED,
DIDN'T SHE, RICHARD?

YEAH. WE GOT THE MISSILE BACK,

PLUS A FAIR NUMBER OF
THEIR SUPPORT NETWORK.

SO WHAT MAKES OPERATION
FIREPROOF A FAILURE?

LARRY COLE AND THAT BOY MALIK,

WHO SUDDENLY POPS
UP OUT OF NOWHERE

AND TELLS US WE WERE
DUPED, FAKED OUT, MISLED,

THAT OPERATION FIREPROOF
WAS ACTING ON FRAMED MATERIAL.

THAT WHILE WE WERE
FOCUSING ON RED PINES,

THE REAL MONEY WAS
CHANGING HANDS ELSEWHERE

AND THAT THAT SUPPORT
TEAM WE ROLLED UP

WAS ALL PART OF A
KLEENEX NETWORK...

TISSUE TERRORISTS...

MANUFACTURED TO BE THROWN AWAY.

SO ELAINE FOUND THE MISSILE.

YES, SHE DID, AND
SOME VERY BAD PEOPLE.

AND WHAT DID ELAINE GET FOR IT?

HER DAUGHTER'S GREENHOUSE.

BANISHED. BANISHED.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEND
THE REST OF MY LIFE

WATERING MY DAUGHTER'S PLANTS!

I WANT MY JOB BACK,
BRENDA. PRETTY PLEASE.

I WANT MY JOB BACK.

SO IF NOT RED PINES,

WHERE WAS THE REAL
MONEY CHANGING HANDS?

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT LARRY COLE THINKS,

TALK TO HIM.

AND YOU WANT TO
HIDE THIS BECAUSE...

Brenda: THE MURDER BOOK

THAT LIEUTENANT FLYNN GOT FOR ME

IS ALL I NEED FOR RIGHT NOW.

BESIDES, WHEN LARRY
COLE GETS HERE,

I DON'T WANT HIM TO SEE

MALIK'S PICTURE
ALL OVER THE PLACE

OR HOW LITTLE WE KNOW.

BY THE WAY, ARE YOU
CARRYING YOUR GUN?

YOU MEAN THE GUN
THAT GOT US BOTH

PUT ON ADMINISTRATIVE
LEAVE? THAT GUN?

BETTER THAT ONE
THAN NONE AT ALL.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[WHISPERING] Go on. Go. Go on.

DO YOU WANT SOME HELP?

I GOT IT. I GOT IT.

Brenda: PLEASE HAVE A SEAT.

MR. COLE, THERE'S SO MUCH

I'VE BEEN WAITING TO ASK YOU

I HARDLY KNOW WHERE
TO BEGIN, BUT FIRST,

LOOKING AT YOUR PERSONNEL FILE,

LET ME SAY HOW SORRY I AM

ABOUT YOUR RECENT DIVORCE

AND LOSING CUSTODY
OF YOUR SON LIKE THAT,

THEN GETTING FIRED

WITH NOT VERY GOOD REFERENCES.

THAT'S TOUGH.

AND THEN JUST WHEN
YOU'RE FACING ALL

THOSE PERSONAL AND
FINANCIAL PRESSURES,

ALL OF YOUR AGENTS ARE MURDERED,

AND NOW MALIK, TOO.

I THINK YOU WERE THE ONLY PERSON

FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE VICTIMS.

IS THAT RIGHT?

OBVIOUSLY NOT.

CAN YOU THINK OF ANYONE ELSE

WHO KNEW THEM...

WHILE THEY WERE ALIVE, I MEAN?

NO.

YOU KNOW,

ELAINE DONAHUE MADE A SUGGESTION

THAT WE SHOULD DISCUSS.

SHE BELIEVES YOU MADE MALIK UP

OUT OF THIN AIR,
BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE

EVER SPOKE TO HIM OR SAW HIM.

JUST YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

HOW WE CAN CONFIRM YOUR REPORT?

HOW ABOUT THIS? THE KID
SAID IT WAS DANGEROUS,

AND NOW HE'S DEAD.

BUT HOW DO WE KNOW
YOU WEREN'T JUST

WAITING AROUND
FOR THE FIRST DEAD

ARAB TEENAGER TO
TURN UP IN THE NEWS,

THAT YOU DIDN'T LATCH ON

TO MALIK'S MURDER
AND SAY, "OH, THAT

WAS THE BOY I WAS
TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT"?

YOU NEVER IDENTIFIED MALIK FARA

UNTIL AFTER HE WAS DEAD.

I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT HIM.

WELL, YOU DIDN'T DO A
VERY GOOD JOB, DID YOU?

I HAVE A COPY OF EVERYTHING

THAT THE L.A.P.D. HAS COMPILED

IN THIS INVESTIGATION,

AND THERE IS NOTHING
HERE INDICATING

HOW MALIK COMMUNICATED
WITH HIS CONTACT

INSIDE THE ARMY OF ALLAH.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW THEY TRADED MESSAGES

WITH EACH OTHER?

NO.

ARE YOU, BY ANY CHANCE,
TRYING TO PROTECT

MALIK'S FRIEND?

NO.

IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED THAT
MALIK WAS RUNNING AWAY,

BUT THE ONLY I.D.
FOUND IN HIS KNAPSACK

WAS A LIBRARY CARD.

WHERE MIGHT HIS
PASSPORT HAVE BEEN?

HE DIDN'T HAVE A PASSPORT.

HE WAS LIVING HERE ILLEGALLY.

WE HAVE D.N.A.
FROM MALIK'S KILLER.

ANYONE YOU CAN THINK OF

WE MIGHT MATCH
THOSE RESULTS AGAINST?

IF YOU WANT TO ACCUSE
ME, MY D.N.A.'s ON FILE.

ANDREW CAN GET IT FOR YOU.

LOOK, I AM NOT A KILLER.

MALIK WAS REAL. HIS
INFORMATION WAS REAL.

THIS WHOLE RED PINES THING
THAT ELAINE IS SO PROUD OF,

IT WAS A WHOPPING BIG MISDIRECT.

Richard: WHILE WE WERE BLUFFED

INTO USING ALL OUR ASSETS
TO COVER THE MISSILE,

THE REAL ACTION WAS
GOING DOWN IN OBNINSK.

THANK YOU, RICHARD,

BUT I DON'T NEED
ANSWERS FROM YOU.

Richard: WELL, BUT YOU'RE ASKING

THE WRONG QUESTIONS, MA'AM.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT
RUSSIA STORES AT OBNINSK?

ABOUT 60 TONS OF
SEPARATED PLUTONIUM.

BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE 60
TONS TO MAKE A BOMB,

DOES IT? NO.

IT ONLY TAKES 20
POUNDS, ABOUT THAT MUCH.

OUR SCIENTISTS TURN UP THEIR
NOSES AT SEPARATED PLUTONIUM.

IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS THE
STUFF WE USE IN OUR BOMBS,

BUT IT WILL DO THE JOB.

IS THAT WHAT MALIK TOLD YOU

THE ARMY OF ALLAH HAD DONE...

MISDIRECTED OUR ASSETS
SO THEY COULD SMUGGLE

SEPARATED PLUTONIUM
OUT OF OBNINSK?

IN A ROUND
STAINLESS-STEEL CONTAINER

ABOUT 10 INCHES IN DIAMETER,

MADE TO LOOK LIKE AN
OVERSIZED HOCKEY PUCK.

AND THIS MR. NUBALLE,
THE IRANIAN BANKER

THAT YOU LEVERAGED
INTO HELPING YOU,

DID HE MISDIRECT
YOU ABOUT RED PINES?

NO. NO. NUBALLE NEVER
KNEW WHAT HE WAS PAYING FOR.

HE WAS A CUTOUT, A GO-BETWEEN.

WE GOT THE INTELLIGENCE ABOUT
THE MISSILE FROM THE SELLER,

MR. VOITSKI.

I, UH... I TRAINED A YOUNG GIRL.

DARA. COLLEGE STUDENT.

USED HER AS A HONEY TRAP.

SHE SEDUCED VOITSKI,
HAD AN AFFAIR WITH HIM.

WHENEVER VOITSKI TOOK HER OUT,

WE WOULD GO THROUGH HIS STUFF.

DARA. YES.

THAT'S ANOTHER
ONE OF YOUR AGENTS

WHO'S NO LONGER WITH US.

YOU SEEM TO HAVE
BEEN CLOSE TO HER.

TRAINING A YOUNG GIRL
TO SEDUCE OLDER MEN...

THAT'S TRICKY.

HOW DID YOU MANAGE THAT?

OR SHOULD I ASK YOUR EX-WIFE?

MOVING ON.

WHAT DID VOITSKI SAY
WHEN YOU PICKED HIM UP?

Cole: WE DIDN'T PICK HIM UP.

THE COMPANY FELT
THAT VOITSKI WAS

THE ONLY ONGOING CONNECTION
TO THE ARMY OF ALLAH,

AND WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT

TO LEAVE HIM OUT THERE.

OUT WHERE, MR. COLE?
AND BY WHERE,

I MEAN HIS ADDRESS.

Gabriel: OK, CHIEF.
VOITSKI'S PARKING

OUTSIDE HIS APARTMENT BUILDING.

HE'S GETTING OUT OF HIS CAR NOW.

UH-HUH. HOLD ON.
HOLD ON A MINUTE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

OOH, CHIEF. CHIEF, HE'S LIMPING

TOWARDS THE FRONT DOOR.

WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO?

GOOD LORD, BUZZ. DRIVE FASTER.

HANG ON.

HE DIDN'T SEE YOU, DID HE?

NO. NO, NO, NO.
HE DIDN'T SEE US.

UH-HUH. OK. YES, MA'AM.

NO, WE'LL WAIT FOR YOU.

SURE HE DIDN'T SEE YOU?

Gabriel: I'M POSITIVE.

LIEUTENANT, ARE YOU OK?

UH, OH, YEAH. YEAH.

WAIT. HOLD ON A SECOND.

POPE TOLD US TO BRING
SOME EXTRA STUFF.

OK.

LIEUTENANT, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO WEAR A GUN SOONER OR LATER,

AND I'M FEELING SOONER
VERY STRONGLY RIGHT NOW.

Brenda: IT'S NOT
THAT ONE. IT'S 614.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MR. VOITSKI!
YOO-HOO! MR. VOITSKI!

YOU TWO TURN AROUND.

CHIEF, WE NEED A
WARRANT FOR THAT.

OH, YOU DO. WE'RE ON
ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE.

YOU TWO STAY RIGHT THERE.

MR. VOITSKI?

MR. VOITSKI!

MR. VOITSKI! YOO-HOO!

MR. VOITSKI?

MR. VOITSKI?

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA,

PLEASE PULL DOWN
MR. VOITSKI'S PANTS.

WHAT?

PULL DOWN HIS PANTS, PLEASE.

OK, WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THERE, YOU TWO?

WE'RE JUST CHECKING TO
MAKE SURE WE'RE ALONE.

STAY BY THE DOOR.

THIS IS GWEN. I NEED
MR. SCHMIDT, PLEASE.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

HELLO?

Provenza: CHIEF.

I FOUND THE MAN
WHO KILLED MALIK.

DOES THE NAME
VOITSKI RING A BELL?

DEAR GOD.

SO AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

MY WORK HERE IS THROUGH.

IF YOU WANT MY CONTINUED
ASSISTANCE, ANDREW,

IDENTIFYING MALIK'S FRIEND,

FINDING YOUR MOLE AND
THE SEPARATED PLUTONIUM,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO CHANGE THE RULES.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT MY JOB BACK
WITH MY SQUAD INTACT,

OR I HANG UP, WALK AWAY,

AND YOU CAN CLEAN THIS
MESS UP ON YOUR OWN.

SO, ANDREW, WHAT'S IT GONNA BE?

ARE YOU GUYS... YOU SURE
YOU DON'T NEED ANY HELP

CARRYING YOUR
STUFF BACK TO, UH...

[THUD] ROBBERY HOMICIDE?

I'M GOOD. THANKS.

GREAT WORKING WITH YOU GUYS.

YEAH. BYE.

Tao: PEOPLE NEVER TAKE DUST...

SERIOUSLY.

OH. OH.

I'M SORRY, COMMANDER.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOCKED.

IS THIS A BAD TIME? NO, NO.

ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE
THE L.A.P.D. AND THE F.B.I.

WORKING TOGETHER.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Commander Taylor:
DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON.

COMMANDER. SO, WHAT SHOULD WE DO

WITH THE REST OF YOUR STUFF?

OHH! I'M SO SORRY.

I'M NOT... NOT
WANTING TO RUSH YOU.

YOU'RE NOT RUSHING ME.

I'M SORRY.

GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK, MA'AM.

I'LL, UH, HAVE MY SECRETARY

COME DOWN LATER THIS AFTERNOON

AND TAKE UP THE
REST OF MY THINGS.

I CAN SEE HOW ANXIOUS YOU ARE

TO GET BACK TO WORK.

I GOT IT. THERE YOU GO.

NOT ON THE PLANE. HERE, HERE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, COMMANDER.

YOU'RE WELCOME, CHIEF.

AGENT HOWARD.

Man: I THOUGHT ABOUT
GOING TO CONFESSION.

HE CAME OVER HERE.

HE, LIKE, MOVES ALL THE STUFF.

DID YOU SEE THE PICTURE
OF THE FIREWORKS?

LOOK AT THIS.

WHO TAKES PICTURES OF FIREWORKS?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[EXHALES]

WELL...

WELCOME BACK.

IT'S NICE TO SEE Y'ALL AGAIN.

LET ME JUST BRING
EVERYONE UP TO THE MINUTE

ON THE MALIK FARA MURDER.

MALIK'S KILLER WAS
FOUND LATE YESTERDAY,

A RUSSIAN EX-K.G.B. OFFICER
BY THE NAME OF VOITSKI.

HAS VOITSKI BEEN ARRESTED?

NO, SOMEBODY
CALLED IN A GAS LEAK

AT VOITSKI'S APARTMENT.

GAS COMPANY COMES OUT,
FINDS VOITSKI MURDERED,

NO LEAK EXCEPT THE BLOOD
RUNNING OUT OF HIS HEAD.

SOMEONE SHOVED AN ICE PICK
THROUGH MR. VOITSKI'S EAR,

INTO HIS BRAIN.

SO HE IS KIND OF A DEAD END.

AND THAT'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE...

BECAUSE MALIK FARA
WAS MEETING SOMEONE

THE NIGHT HE WAS MURDERED,

AND WE NEED TO FIND
THAT PERSON FOR...

ALL SORTS OF REASONS.

THE NAME OF MALIK'S
MISSING FRIEND

IS MOST LIKELY ONE OF 60,000

CONTAINED ON THE DATABASE OF
THIS COMPUTER, LIEUTENANT TAO.

AND LIEUTENANT PROVENZA
HAS CERTAIN SEARCH CRITERIA

THAT YOU AND DETECTIVE DANIELS

CAN USE TO NARROW DOWN THE LIST.

CHIEF, JUST TO BE CLEAR
ABOUT THIS MALIK FARA,

WE'RE INVESTIGATING A MURDER

THAT YOU ALREADY SOLVED?

WELL, YES,

BUT WHO MURDERED THE MURDERER?

VOITSKI DIDN'T STICK AN
ICE PICK INTO HIS OWN HEAD.

LIEUTENANT FLYNN CAN
FILL YOU IN ON THE DETAILS.

I CAN?

OK, UH...

THIS IS WHAT I THINK WE KNOW.

I'D PUT YOU IN AN
INTERVIEW ROOM, MR. COLE,

BUT I DON'T WANT MY SQUAD
TO HEAR WHAT WE'RE SAYING.

FINDING MR. VOITSKI
SO FRESHLY DEAD

LESSENS MY CONFIDENCE IN YOU.

I'M BEEN WITH RICHARD
SINCE YESTERDAY,

AND I NEVER CALLED
ANYONE. ASK HIM.

PRETTY SURE YOU'RE
GONNA FIND VOITSKI'S D.N.A.

MATCHES WHAT YOU
FOUND ON MALIK'S KNIFE.

HE KILLED THE BOY, NOT ME.

I DON'T DOUBT THAT.

IN FACT, WE MAY FIND

THAT VOITSKI KILLED
EVERYONE FROM FIREPROOF.

BUT HE WASN'T ACTING
ON HIS OWN ACCORD.

HE WAS TAKING ORDERS
FROM SOMEBODY,

WHETHER IT WAS THE C.I.A.'s MOLE

OR THE ARMY OF ALLAH.

I'M NOT A TRAITOR.

EVEN SO, VOITSKI'S
YET ANOTHER PERSON

FROM YOUR DWINDLING...
Woman: EXCUSE ME.

YOUR DWINDLING CIRCLE
OF ACQUAINTANCES

WHOM WE HAVE TO TALK
ABOUT IN THE PAST TENSE.

TELL ME, MR. COLE,

AFTER YOU WERE FIRED,

DID YOU MEET WITH
MALIK AGAIN TO TELL HIM

THAT THERE WOULD BE
NO DEAL WITH THE C.I.A.

AND THAT HIS LIFE WAS IN DANGER?

IS THAT WHY HE CARRIED

A KITCHEN KNIFE IN HIS POCKET?

I FELT THAT THE ARMY OF
ALLAH MIGHT FIND OUT ABOUT HIM

AND I WANTED TO WARN HIM.

THAT WARNING MAY
HAVE COST MALIK HIS LIFE.

THIS IS WHERE I GET OFF.

WAIT FOR ME
DOWNSTAIRS WITH ELAINE.

MS. JOHNSON.

I WAS WONDERING IF
ANYONE FROM OUR END

HAD SPOKEN TO YOU
ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION,

BESIDES ANDREW.

NO, THEY HAVEN'T.

OK. ME, EITHER.

JUST... JUST WONDERING.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

I THINK YOU NEED TO
FIND SOMEONE ELSE

TO FINISH UP THIS JOB.

BRENDA, YOU SURPRISE ME.

I MOVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE

TO GIVE YOU WHAT
YOU SAID YOU NEEDED.

VOITSKI MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED

BECAUSE THE WRONG
PEOPLE FOUND OUT

I WAS HELPING YOU,
AND FROM HERE ON OUT

THEY'LL BE WATCHING ME,

JUST LIKE THEY
WATCHED LARRY COLE

UNTIL HE TOOK THEM TO MALIK,

AND JUST LIKE THEY WATCHED MALIK

UNTIL HE TOOK
THEM TO HIS FRIEND.

YOU DISCOVERED HOW THEY
WERE FOLLOWING THE BOY?

IS THAT A TRANSMITTER?

I FOUND IT IN
MALIK'S FLASHLIGHT.

BUT THEY PROBABLY
HAD SOME TRANSMITTERS

IMBEDDED IN HIS SHOES AS WELL.

YOU WERE RIGHT, ANDREW.

MALIK'S MURDER WAS A MISTAKE.

THEY COULD HAVE
KILLED HIM AGES AGO,

BUT THE ARMY OF
ALLAH WANTED HIM ALIVE

SO THEY COULD FOLLOW
HIM TO HIS FRIEND.

THEY USED HIM.

NOW THEY'LL BE USING ME.

BRENDA, DO YOU
REMEMBER WHAT TO DO

WHEN YOU DISCOVER
YOU'RE UNDER SURVEILLANCE?

NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE
YOU'RE BEING WATCHED

UNLESS YOU CAN DERIVE
SOME TACTICAL ADVANTAGE.

AND IF I WERE TO REPLACE YOU

BECAUSE THE ARMY OF ALLAH
KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING,

I WOULD BE...

ACKNOWLEDGING THE SURVEILLANCE.

AND IT WOULD STOP.

WELL, I'M NOT INTERESTED
IN USING L.A.P.D. OFFICERS

AS BAIT.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO
KNOW WHO'S FOLLOWING HER?

I WOULD.

THERE'S A WAY THAT WE MIGHT

TURN THIS AROUND
TO OUR ADVANTAGE.

IS THERE ANYONE CONNECTED
WITH THIS INVESTIGATION

THAT YOU WOULD
REALLY LIKE TO QUESTION?

Brenda: THIS MIGHT
BE A FOOL'S ERRAND,

BUT KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED

FOR ANYONE WHO
MIGHT BE WATCHING ME.

AND REMEMBER, I'M NOT
WEARING AN EARPIECE,

SO IF I DON'T HEAR THE SIGNAL,

I WON'T KNOW TO COME OUT.

[PANTING]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

RU'YAH FARA?

YES, BUT CALL ME RITA.

MY SON WAS HOPING TO PLAY

IN THE WARSAW
COMPETITION NEXT MONTH.

MICHAEL WASN'T RUNNING
AWAY FROM HOME.

HE WAS COMING BACK
FROM PIANO LESSON.

[POURS TEA]

HE MUST HAVE GOTTEN
ON THE WRONG BUS.

YOU CALLED MALIK MICHAEL?

MICHAEL IS A LESS CONFUSING
NAME FOR AMERICANS.

THE OTHER MAN WHO CAME BY...

DETECTIVE McHALE,

HE SAID THAT MAYBE MY
SON MIGHT BE A TERRORIST.

OR A SUICIDE BOMBER.

BUT THIS ISN'T TRUE.

MICHAEL'S FATHER WAS
AN IMPORTANT JOURNALIST,

SHOT TO DEATH FOR
PROMOTING PEACE.

MICHAEL WOULD NEVER
ASSOCIATE HIMSELF

WITH HIS FATHER'S MURDERERS.

HE... HE WORSHIPED
HIS FATHER'S MEMORY.

AND YOU'RE FROM LEBANON, RIGHT?

YES, BEIRUT.

I CAME HERE AFTER MY
HUSBAND WAS ASSASSINATED.

THE OTHER SCRAPBOOKS, THEY
WERE BEFORE HE WAS BORN,

BUT THE 2 ON TOP,
IT'S ALL MY SON.

LOOK AT HIS FACE,

AND THEN TELL ME THAT
MY SON WAS A TERRORIST.

LOOK AT THEM.

PLEASE.

THAT'S THEIR THIRD
TIME AROUND THE BLOCK,

LIEUTENANT.

I GOT IT. YOU COPY, SANCHEZ?

COPY THAT.

Flynn: GET READY
TO SIGNAL THE CHIEF.

I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING
WITH MICHAEL'S ROOM.

IT STILL FEELS LIKE...

LIKE HE MIGHT COME BACK.

DO YOU KNOW IF MICHAEL
HAD ANY FRIENDS OR...

WAS HE DATING ANYONE
THAT YOU KNOW OF?

HE HAD TIME FOR
NOTHING BUT THE PIANO.

HE PRACTICED CONSTANTLY.

MICHAEL WAS GOING
TO WARSAW, YOU SAID?

DID HE HAVE HIS AIRLINE
TICKET AND HIS PASSPORT?

YES, OF COURSE.

CAN I SEE IT, PLEASE?

I DON'T, UH, KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE,

UM, THIS MINUTE.

REALLY?

[PAPER RUSTLES]

WHAT COUNTRY WAS MICHAEL
A CITIZEN OF, TECHNICALLY?

LEBANON.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THESE TEDDY BEARS?

EXCUSE ME?

THERE'S AN AWFUL
LOT OF TEDDY BEARS

ON THE BOTTOM OF
YOUR SON'S CLOSET.

NOT THE KIND OF THING A
16-YEAR-OLD BOY NORMALLY HAS.

THEY ARE A KIND OF JOKE

BETWEEN MICHAEL
AND ANGELA CARTER.

ANGELA CARTER? WHO'S SHE?

SHE'S THE DAUGHTER OF
MICHAEL'S PIANO TEACHER.

SHE PLAYS THE FLUTE.

MICHAEL WAS HELPING
HER WITH THE CONCERTO.

AND HOW DO THE
BEARS FIGURE INTO THAT?

WHEN ANGELA PLAYED
ESPECIALLY WELL,

MICHAEL WOULD GIVE HER A BEAR.

AND WHEN SHE DIDN'T,

SHE GAVE HIM ONE.

[CHUCKLES]

LOOKS LIKE THIS ANGELA CARTER
WAS A LITTLE HARD ON HERSELF.

Flynn: HERE THEY
COME, SANCHEZ. GO!

[LEAF BLOWER TURNS ON]

THIS ANGELA CARTER.

COULD I HAVE HER CONTACT
INFORMATION, PLEASE?

AND IF I COULD BORROW YOUR
SCRAPBOOKS FOR A FEW DAYS,

GOING THROUGH THEM
MIGHT HELP ME FIGURE OUT

WHY YOUR SON WAS SHOT TO DEATH.

AND A LARGE TRASH BAG,

THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

[TIRES SCREECH]

GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!

IT'S THEM!

DRIVER, TURN OFF
THE ENGINE, NOW!

HANDS! LET'S SEE YOUR HANDS!

LET'S SEE YOUR HANDS!

DON'T MOVE! PASSENGER SIDE!

HEY! L.A.P.D.

OPEN THE CAR DOOR,

AND LET US SEE YOUR HANDS.

LET'S GO! OPEN
'EM. SLOWLY, EASY!

BACK DOOR, TOO.
COME ON, OPEN 'EM.

THERE! HE'S COMING OUT!

PUT YOUR HANDS
WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM.

DRIVER, DO NOT MOVE!

CLEAR THE VEHICLE!

CHIEF.

DO IT! NOW!

HOLD YOUR POSITIONS!

Man: CHIEF?

CHIEF?

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

Brenda: YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS,

BUT I'M DEPUTY CHIEF
BRENDA LEIGH JOHNSON

OF THE L.A.P.D.,

AND I FEEL WE OUGHT
TO HAVE A LITTLE CHAT.

PLEASE, I AM A DOCTOR.

MY PATIENT NEEDS HIS MEDICINE.

PLEASE?

[WHEEZING]

[AIR HISSING]

MS. JOHNSON, I OFFER YOU PEACE.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

ABDUL AL-FULANI.

AND WHY ARE YOU WATCHING ME?

YOUR TONE IS DISRESPECTFUL,

AND I DO NOT LIKE
WOMEN WITH QUESTIONS.

WELL, YOU CAN DISLIKE ME

ALL THE WAY THROUGH
YOUR ANSWERS, SIR.

I HATE TO TAKE YOU DOWNTOWN.

IT MIGHT MEAN SEPARATING YOU

FROM YOUR PHYSICIAN,
WHOM YOU SEEM TO NEED.

SO, WHY ARE YOU WATCHING ME?

I'M NOT WATCHING YOU.

I'M IN AMERICA OBSERVING
AN EMPIRE ON ITS DEATH BED,

A TOURIST DOING CHARITABLE
WORK AMONG THE ADDICTED

AND SEXUALLY DISEASED.

SO YOU'RE NOT A MEMBER
OF THE ARMY OF ALLAH?

I AVOID POLITICS.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT MALIK FARA?

WHY WERE YOU PURSUING HIM?

I DID NOT PURSUE
HIM, MS. JOHNSON.

I'M A SPIRITUAL MAN,

DEVOTED TO SPREADING
THE TEACHINGS OF MUHAMMAD,

MAY A BLESSING OF
PEACE BE UPON HIM.

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

AND THIS BOY, THIS MALIK,

IT WAS NOT THE CHILD I
EVER ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE.

YOU'RE MORE INTERESTED
IN SOMEONE LIKE VOITSKI,

SPIRITUALLY?

I COULD JUST ARREST YOU.

ON WHAT CHARGE?

CRITICIZING AMERICA?

WHAT OTHER CRIME
HAVE I COMMITTED?

BUT BY ALL MEANS, ARREST ME.

DISPOSSESS YOURSELF
OF ALL YOUR LAWS

AND SO-CALLED FREEDOMS.

I WILL BE TWICE THE
WINNER IN THAT CONTEST.

[COUGHING]

IF YOU TEAR DOWN YOUR
OWN HOUSE TO PROSECUTE ME,

[COUGHING] I REJOICE.

[WHEEZING]

[AIR HISSES]

[COUGHING]

LOOK, DOCTOR.

IF I NEED TO SPEAK
WITH YOU AGAIN,

HOW WOULD I GET
IN TOUCH WITH YOU?

I'M LISTED IN THE PHONE BOOK.

COME AND SEE ME
WHENEVER YOU LIKE.

AND UNDERSTAND
THIS, TOO, MS. JOHNSON,

ALLAH IS NOT YOUR ENEMY.

I KNOW THAT, SIR.

YOU ARE.

THANK YOU, BUZZ.

IF YOU COULD WAIT OUTSIDE
FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE.

YES, MA'AM.

[DOOR CLOSES]

SO, I SEE IT.

THIS MALIK WAS REAL,
LARRY COLE WAS RIGHT,

AND I WAS VERY, VERY WRONG.

NOW, WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS?

OH.

ANALYZE ALL THE INFORMATION

I'VE GIVEN YOU AND
TELL ME A STORY.

OK, FINE.

FIRST, YOU THINK VOITSKI
MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED

BY HIS EMPLOYERS
INSIDE THE ARMY OF ALLAH?

YOU DON'T? NO.

YOU TOLD ME HIS
WOUND WAS DRESSED

AND SEWN UP WITH
DISSOLVABLE STITCHES,

YET THERE WERE NO
KNIFE WOUNDS REPORTED

AT THE HOSPITALS ON THE
NIGHT HE WAS ATTACKED.

SO YOU THINK ABDUL
AL-FULANI'S DOCTOR

TOOK CARE OF HIM?

WHY WOULD THEY TREAT VOITSKI

IF THEY WERE ONLY
GONNA KILL HIM?

SO IF I WERE TELLING THE
STORY OF VOITSKI'S DEATH,

I WOULD LOOK FOR SOMEONE

WHO HAD A REALLY
GOOD REASON TO KILL HIM.

MALIK'S FRIEND INSIDE
THE ARMY OF ALLAH.

VOITSKI WAS SHOOTING AT HIM,

AND ONE REALLY GOOD WAY
TO GET VOITSKI TO STOP THAT...

WOULD BE TO SHOVE
AN ICE PICK IN HIS HEAD.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS WORKS.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME

ABOUT ABDUL AL-FULANI HERE?

66, BAD HEALTH,

MEMBER OF A WEALTHY
JORDANIAN FAMILY.

HE'S BEEN LIVING IN
THE UNITED STATES

FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS,

AS HE SAID, REPRESENTING
ISLAMIC CHARITIES.

I HAD NO IDEA HE'D GONE BLIND

OR THAT HE WAS
POSITIVELY CONNECTED

TO THE ARMY OF ALLAH.

HONESTLY, WE NEVER CONSIDERED

ABDUL THAT IMPORTANT.

WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE
ABDUL WOULD TELL ME

THAT HE DID NOT TRY
TO ENGAGE MALIK?

WELL, INSTEAD OF SNEAKING PEOPLE

INTO THE COUNTRY,
THE ARMY OF ALLAH TRIES

RECRUITING
DISAFFECTED AMERICANS.

ABDUL WAS TELLING
YOU MALIK WAS NOT

ONE OF THOSE KIDS.

BUT WHY WOULD HE
BE GIVING ME A HAND?

MUST THINK HE'S GONNA FIND OUT

WHO MALIK'S FRIEND
WAS RIGHT AFTER YOU DO.

[SCOFFS]

AND THE BOY WAS USING
THESE STUFFED ANIMALS

TO COMMUNICATE
WITH HIS NEW BUDDY?

MM-HMM.

IT'S A SHAME FOR
US MALIK'S FRIEND

WON'T BE LOOKING
FOR HIM ANYMORE.

YEAH, STILL...

HE MIGHT BE USEFUL.
YOU NEVER KNOW.

ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO?

I'M JUST SITTING HERE.

HERE ARE THE
SCRAPBOOKS THAT I GOT

FROM MALIK'S MOTHER.

IF YOU COULD GO
THROUGH THEM, CAREFULLY,

SEE IF YOU RECOGNIZE A FACE,

AN EYEBROW, A SCAR.

USE THAT FANTASTIC
MEMORY OF YOURS

TO FIND SOMEONE
INSIDE THE ARMY OF ALLAH

I CAN CONNECT TO MALIK.

MY FANTASTIC MEMORY.

WELL, I'LL DO WHAT I CAN.

ALTHOUGH, JUST
STATING THE OBVIOUS,

I DON'T SEEM TO BE AS GOOD
AT ALL THIS AS I USED TO BE.

WE HAVEN'T FOUND MALIK'S FRIEND,

BUT WE HAVE
NARROWED DOWN THE LIST

ON THIS DATABASE A LITTLE.

FIRST I ELIMINATED
EVERYONE UNDER 6 FEET.

THEN I KNOCKED OUT
EVERYONE WITHOUT 2 LEGS.

MEN TOO OLD TO RUN.

HOW MANY POSSIBILITIES
ARE WE DOWN TO?

14,762.

OH. APPROXIMATELY.

OK, WHAT IF WE DROPPED
EVERYONE WHO COULDN'T

HAVE BEEN IN L.A. THE
NIGHT OF THE MURDER?

WELL, TO FACTOR THAT IN,

WE'D NEED SOME
REAL-TIME SURVEILLANCE

AND CUSTOMS DATA.

NOW, WE COULD GET IT

FROM THE TERRORIST
INFORMATION NETWORK,

BUT WE'D NEED TO KNOW
SOMEONE REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL

AT THE F.B.I. TO GET
OUR HANDS ON IT.

HEY, CHIEF. I DID THAT
BACKGROUND CHECK

ON MALIK'S MOTHER,
RITA FARA, AGE 35...

YOUNG TO HAVE A KID MALIK'S AGE.

ANYWAY, 17 YEARS AGO,
RITA FLED FROM LEBANON

TO GERMANY AS A
POLITICAL REFUGEE.

AND IN 1993, SHE IMMIGRATED TO

THE UNITED STATES WITH MALIK

AND ABOUT $500,000
IN HER BANK ACCOUNT.

AND SHE STILL HAS SOME
MONEY LAYING AROUND.

SO MALIK WAS BORN IN GERMANY.

MAYBE HE'S A KRAUT.

NO. NO!

GERMANY DOESN'T
DETERMINE CITIZENSHIP

BY BIRTH OR RESIDENCY,
ONLY BY BLOODLINE.

STILL? YEAH.

REALLY?

UH, CHIEF, I HAVE THAT

FLUTE PLAYER, ANGELA CARTER,

IN INTERVIEW ROOM ONE.

YOU WANT TO TALK TO HER?

YES. THANK YOU.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT THE MURDER.

OF COURSE NOT.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET
A BETTER PICTURE OF MALIK.

YOU PRACTICED WITH HIM?

UH, AS MUCH AS I COULD.

HE WAS AN AMAZING PLAYER.

UH, MY FATHER'S
A CONCERT PIANIST

AND HE TEACHES A
VERY, VERY FEW PEOPLE.

YOUR FATHER WAS GETTING
MALIK READY TO GO TO WARSAW?

MALIK WANTED TO GO, BUT...

BUT WHAT?

HIS STUPID MOTHER
RITA. HAVE YOU MET HER?

SHE KEPT BEGGING
HIM NOT TO COMPETE.

IT DROVE MY FATHER CRAZY.

I MEAN, HOW ELSE
IS MALIK SUPPOSED

TO GET NOTICED?

AND HIS MOTHER WAS
ACTUALLY BLOCKING HIM

FROM GOING TO WARSAW.

HOW WAS SHE BLOCKING HIM?

MALIK DOESN'T...

DIDN'T HAVE A PASSPORT.

AND HIS MOTHER
WOULDN'T LET HIM APPLY

TO THE LEBANESE
EMBASSY TO GET ONE.

IT'S REALLY UNFAIR.

RITA IS SUCH A BITCH.

HAVE YOU SEEN HER?

SHE HAS THIS DYED BLONDE HAIR

AND SHE WEARS COSMETIC CONTACTS.

SHE'S... SHE'S OBSESSED
WITH BLENDING IN.

ONCE AFTER RECITAL,

MALIK INTRODUCED
HER AS HIS MOTHER,

AND SHE ACTUALLY
TOOK A STEP BACK,

LIKE SHE WAS ASHAMED OF HIM.

AND SHE IS SUCH A LIAR.

MALIK SAID SHE USED TO
LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING.

HE HATED HER.

BUT DESPITE MALIK'S MOTHER,

HE FOUND ANOTHER
WAY TO GET A PASSPORT.

IS THAT IT?

UH... NO.

I MEAN, HE NEVER SAID ANYTHING

TO ME ABOUT THAT.

SOMEONE WAS HELPING MALIK GET

A U.S. PASSPORT, ANGELA.

REALLY?

DOES THIS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

UH... MALIK TOLD ME
NEVER TO TALK ABOUT IT.

THAT IF I DID...

IF THE WRONG PEOPLE FOUND OUT

THAT I HAD HELPED HIM,
THEN I MIGHT BE IN DANGER.

WE'RE NOT THE WRONG PEOPLE.

AND YOU'RE IN DANGER
ANYWAY, ANGELA.

EVEN MORE SO IF YOU DON'T
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.

MALIK TOLD ME HE HAD MET SOMEONE

WHO WAS GOING TO HELP HIM BECOME

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN,

BUT THAT IT HADN'T
REALLY WORKED OUT.

SO THEY WERE GONNA
MAYBE GO TO CANADA.

AND THAT HE NEEDED
SOME WAY TO COMMUNICATE

WITH THIS FRIEND SECRETLY.
SO HE WOULD... HE...

HE WOULD OPEN UP THE
BEAR, PUT A MESSAGE INSIDE,

CLOSE IT UP AGAIN,
AND PASS IT OFF TO YOU?

AND YOU HANDED THE
BEAR OFF TO A PERSON?

NO, I... I... I NEVER
MET ANYONE, EVER.

I WOULD JUST... THE
NEXT DAY AFTER SCHOOL,

I WOULD... I WOULD DROP IT OFF,

OR SEE IF ANYTHING
HAD BEEN LEFT FOR ME.

I NEVER SAW ANYONE, EVEN ONCE.

AND WHERE DID YOU PICK
UP AND LEAVE THE BEAR?

THERE'S A CHURCH
DOWN ON FAIRFAX,

IN BETWEEN SANTA
MONICA AND SUNSET.

I WOULD LEAVE THE BEAR

BETWEEN THE PRAYER BOOKS,

IN THE FIFTH PEW FROM THE DOOR

ON THE LEFT.

THANK YOU, ANGELA.

TAKE SANCHEZ

AND CHECK OUT THAT CHURCH.

MAYBE ONE OF THE PRIESTS,

OR THE RECTOR, OR THE POPE FOUND

A TEDDY BEAR THERE ONCE

AND PUT IT IN THE
LOST AND FOUND.

I'M ON IT.

CHIEF. YES?

ELAINE SAYS ELAINE'S
FOUND SOMETHING.

THESE ARE THE SCRAPBOOKS

SHE TOLD YOU WERE UNIMPORTANT?

THE PICTURES OF RITA FARA TAKEN

BEFORE MALIK WAS BORN...

YOU RECOGNIZE SOMEONE IN IT?

NO, I RECOGNIZE SOME PLACE.

LOOK WHAT ELAINE HAS FOUND.

PROVENZA WOULD
LIKE TO LOOK, TOO.

RITA FARA IS NOT FROM BEIRUT.

SHE'S NOT EVEN FROM LEBANON.

RITA FARA IS FROM AMMAN, JORDAN.

[SIGHS]

AHH! OH, FOR GOODNESS' SAKE.

[SIGHS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

HMM!

YOU'RE BEING PAGED AND
YOU'RE NOT ANSWERING.

ANDREW?

HE'D LIKE AN UPDATE.

OH. I CAN'T GIVE HIM ONE.

WHY?

I'M HAVING TRUST
ISSUES. WITH ANDREW?

WHO DIDN'T TELL ME EVERYTHING;

WITH MALIK'S MOTHER WHO LIED

ABOUT BEING FROM LEBANON;

WITH LARRY COLE, ELAINE DONAHUE,

WHO NEVER TRUSTED EACH OTHER;

WITH RICHARD BRANCH,
WHO NEVER TRUSTED THEM.

IN FACT, THE ONLY PERSON
GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY

TO BE HELPFUL
MIGHT BE A TERRORIST.

SO THIS TERRORIST GUY,

ABDUL AL-FULANI...
HE WAS HELPFUL?

WHICH MEANS THAT
HE'S CONFIDENT THAT

ANYTHING I DISCOVER,
HE'S GOING TO FIND OUT

ABOUT IT IN A HURRY,
WHICH MEANS...

YOU'VE GOT TRUST ISSUES.

SOME OF WHICH I'M
HOPING THAT RITA FARA

WILL HELP ME SOLVE.

I'VE SENT A BLACK AND
WHITE TO PICK HER UP.

SO COULD YOU STALL
ANDREW FOR ME, PLEASE?

BRENDA, HE'S FROM
WASHINGTON, D.C.

AND IF THERE'S ONE THING PEOPLE

FROM WASHINGTON, D.C.

TEND TO RECOGNIZE,
IT'S STALLING.

I JUST... I KNOW
THERE'S SOMETHING

IN THESE SCRAPBOOKS
THAT I'M MISSING.

I MEAN, WHY WOULD
RITA FARA LIE TO ME

ABOUT BEING FROM JORDAN?

AND WHY WOULD SOMEONE
INSIDE THE ARMY OF ALLAH

WANT MALIK TO
GET A U.S. PASSPORT

OR TO GO TO WARSAW?

I JUST... I NEED
MORE INFORMATION

BEFORE I SPEAK TO ANDREW AGAIN.

I KNOW THAT
ANXIOUS, CRAZED LOOK,

AND I KNOW THAT THERE
ARE VERY FEW WORDS

I CAN SAY THAT WILL
ACTUALLY REGISTER RIGHT NOW,

SO LET THEM BE THESE:

I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU
AND YOUR SQUAD BACK AT WORK

THAT I AM WILLING
TO LIE TO THE PERSON

WHO MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE
IF YOU REALLY NEED THE TIME.

AND I DO. THANK YOU, WILL.

MM-HMM. OH.

IF I DON'T GET THIS RIGHT,

YOU THINK THEY'LL
KICK ME OUT AGAIN?

DON'T THINK LIKE THAT.

SO THEY WILL.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE VARIABLES.

A COMPUTER IS JUST A TOOL,

AND A TOOL IS ONLY AS GOOD

AS THE PERSON USING IT.

BOOYA!

CHIEF.

IT'S AN ODD THING
TO REPORT, BUT...

THERE WERE NO TEDDY
BEARS IN THE CHURCH.

YEAH, I DIDN'T KNOW
QUITE HOW TO SAY IT.

OH, SHOOT. THANK YOU.

LIEUTENANT TAO, HOW
ARE WE DOING HERE?

THE ABRIDGED VERSION, PLEASE.

WHEN LAST WE SAW
OUR HEROIC DATABASE,

THERE WERE 14,762 POSSIBLES.

SINCE THEN, WITH THE ACCESS TO

THE TERRORIST
INFORMATION NETWORK

PROVIDED BY THE VERY,
VERY SPECIAL AGENT HOWARD,

THE IDENTITY OF MALIK'S FRIEND

HAS BEEN NARROWED DOWN TO 2,109.

OH, THAT'S STILL TOO MANY.

WE'RE WAITING ON SOME
INFORMATION FROM CUSTOMS,

CLASSIFIED STUFF THAT
EVEN AGENT HOWARD

CAN'T ACCESS WITHOUT APPROVAL.

I'LL NEED FEWER
NAMES TO EVEN BEGIN

TO INVESTIGATE
INDIVIDUALS. THANK YOU.

CAN I HAVE A MOMENT?

RIGHT NOW? I NEED
TO SPEAK TO RITA FARA.

YEAH. RIGHT NOW.

I'M LOOKING AT SOME

OF THE NAMES
HERE, AND, BRENDA...

THESE GUYS ARE REALLY DANGEROUS.

AND YOU GET INTO THE
CAR WITH ONE OF THEM?

NO, NOT ONE OF THEM, 3 OF THEM,

BUT THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE
THEY WERE FOLLOWING ME.

WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE
THIS FOLLOWING YOU?

WHERE DID THIS
DATABASE COME FROM?

WHO GOT YOU INVOLVED WITH THIS?

ARE YOU REALLY GOING
AFTER TERRORISTS HERE?

I WOULD ANSWER
ALL YOUR QUESTIONS,

BUT I SIGNED A
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT.

YOU TRYING TO REASSURE ME?

'CAUSE YOU'RE
DOING A TERRIBLE JOB.

CHIEF. HMM?

JUST GOT WORD FROM
THE BLACK AND WHITE

THAT WENT TO PICK
UP THAT FARA WOMAN.

OH, TELL ME SHE'S OK.

WELL, I CAN'T.

LOOKS LIKE SHE
PACKED UP AND LEFT.

OHH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!

I WANT TO THANK YOU...

HOW MUCH LONGER
ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP

TREATING MY MOTHER
LIKE A CRIMINAL?

AND AFTER SHE HELPED YOU, TOO.

CYNTHIA, I DON'T NEED FOR YOU

TO DEFEND ME. THERE'S NO REASON

FOR YOU TO BE HERE
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
Y'ALL CAN GO HOME.

I'M GETTING NO WORD TODAY.

IF I NEED YOU AGAIN,
I WILL CALL YOU.

AND THANK YOU, ELAINE.
YOU DID HELP, A LOT.

WHAT? OH, ELAINE HELPED YOU?

HOW'D SHE HELP YOU? I MEAN,

SHE GET SOME SORT OF
CHANCE TO CLEAR HER NAME?

MR. COLE, MY BEST ADVICE TO YOU

IS TO GO HOME AND GET SOME REST.

OH, YEAH? WHAT AM I
RESTING UP FOR, HUH?

MS. JOHNSON, ANDREW CALLED,

AND HE... HE SERIOUSLY
WANTS TO SPEAK WITH YOU.

GOOD. I'LL CALL HIM
WHEN I GET A CHANCE.

ELAINE.

MAY I...

MAY I KNOW HOW
EVERYTHING TURNS OUT

OR WILL YOU...

ELAINE. THAT'S REALLY
NOT MY PLACE TO SAY.

SHE HAS TO PROTECT HER
SOURCES... AND METHODS.

CAN'T LET THE PEOPLE
KNOW HER SECRETS.

CERTAINLY, IT'S A DRILL
YOU KNOW, MOTHER.

CYNTHIA, WHY CAN'T YOU EVER JUST

WAIT IN THE CAR?

SO IF YOU CALL, YOU CALL.

COME ON. I'M CRANKY,
I'M EXHAUSTED,

AND I NEED TO SMOKE.

GEOPOLITICS, NATIONAL SECURITY,

WAR AND PEACE...

WHAT'S A DAUGHTER
COMPARED TO ALL THAT?

YOU PEOPLE NEVER THINK
ABOUT THE FAMILIES AT ALL.

SO, I WAS SO BUSY
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING,

I DIDN'T NOTICE
WHAT WAS MISSING.

SCRAPBOOKS, SCRAPBOOKS.
CAN I HAVE THE SCRAPBOOKS?

OH, I GOT 'EM RIGHT HERE.

THANK YOU.

THE REAL STORY IS
NOT WHAT IS HERE

BUT WHAT ISN'T.

WHERE ARE THE PICTURES
OF RITA'S HUSBAND?

SHE'S GOT ALL THESE SCRAPBOOKS
AND NO WEDDING PHOTOS.

NOT ONE PICTURE OF THE FATHER

MALIK WORSHIPED.

RITA WASN'T MARRIED.

IT WOULD EXPLAIN
WHY SHE DIDN'T WANT

HER SON TO GET A PASSPORT,

WHY SHE WAS ANXIOUS
ABOUT BEING SEEN

WITH HER SON IN PUBLIC,

WHY SHE DYES HER HAIR AND
WEARS COLORED CONTACTS.

SHE WAS IN DISGUISE
MOST OF HER ADULT LIFE,

HIDING FROM HER FAMILY.

BECAUSE SHE HAD
AN ILLEGITIMATE BABY?

IN JORDAN, IF A WOMAN
LOSES HER VIRGINITY

BEFORE MARRIAGE,
EVEN IF SHE'S RAPED,

ONE OF HER MALE RELATIVES

KILLS HER TO PROTECT
THE FAMILY'S HONOR.

YOU THINK THE GUY IN THE CAR

WAS MALIK'S FATHER?

WHY ELSE WOULD
SOMEONE TRYING TO DEFECT

REACH OUT TO US THROUGH MALIK?

MAKE CONDITIONS
BASED ON MALIK'S NEEDS.

AND WHY HASN'T MALIK'S
FRIEND TRIED TO CONTACT US?

BECAUSE HIS REASON
FOR DEFECTING IS DEAD.

IT'S A GUESS, LIEUTENANT FLYNN,

BUT AN INFORMED ONE.

LET'S SEE WHAT IT GETS US.

MALIK WAS 16 YEARS OLD.

LET'S BE CONSERVATIVE
AND ADD ANOTHER

19 YEARS TO THAT.

SO KNOCK OFF
EVERYONE ON THIS LIST

UNDER 35 YEARS OF AGE.

AND THEN LET'S CROSS OUR FINGERS

AND ELIMINATE EVERYONE
WHO WASN'T LIVING

IN JORDAN DURING THAT
TIME. HOW HARD IS THAT TO DO?

WAIT A SEC.

OOF. THAT AGE THING BLEW OUT

ALL BUT 246.

NOW, JORDAN, AND THE YEAR 1992.

THAT'S GOING TO BE BIG.

WE'RE DOWN TO 8 GUYS...

AND ONE OF THEM IS...

OH.

THIS GUY LOOK FAMILIAR?

ABDUL'S PHYSICIAN.

DR. AL-THANI.

YOU TRUST YOUR DOCTOR
WITH YOUR ILLNESS,

WHY NOT YOUR SECRETS?

OH, COME ON. I MEAN,
YOU THINK MALIK'S FATHER

IS GONNA SEE HIS SON GET SHOT,

THEN RUN OFF AND LEAVE?

HE LEFT MALIK
WHEN HE WAS A BABY.

WHY NOT DO IT AGAIN?

THE TROUBLE IS, IF I TRY TO FIND

EVIDENCE THAT PROVES THIS...

WELL, YOU MIGHT TIP
OFF THE WRONG PEOPLE

BEFORE YOU GET TO THIS GUY.

EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE HOPING FOR.

BUT IF DR. AL-THANI IS
THE GUY FROM THE CAR

WHO WAS THERE THE
NIGHT MALIK WAS KILLED,

THEN HE KNOWS SOMEONE ELSE

WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
THIS IS OUR TWO-FER.

AND ABDUL DID SAY TO COME BY

WHENEVER I WANTED.

OH, HEY, HEY...
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA...

YOU'RE GONNA GO TO THIS
NUT JOB TERRORIST'S HOUSE?

COME ON. WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO WHEN YOU GET THERE?

YOU'RE GONNA ASK
THIS DOCTOR IN FRONT

OF AL-FULANI IF HE WANTS
TO DEFECT WITH YOU?

NO.

I'M GONNA HAVE
MALIK DO IT FOR ME.

I'M UNUSED TO HOSTING WOMEN
TO WHOM I AM NOT RELATED.

IS IT COURTEOUS TO OFFER
YOU SOMETHING TO DRINK?

I WON'T BE LONG. I...

JUST A TINY FOLLOW-UP
ON OUR EARLIER INTERVIEW,

BECAUSE AFTER YOU AND I SPOKE,

RU'YAH FARA, MALIK'S
MOTHER, DISAPPEARED.

WERE THERE SIGNS OF A STRUGGLE?

NO. THERE WERE SIGNS
OF RAPIDLY PACKED BAGS,

AND SHE HAD NO REASON
TO BE AFRAID OF US.

NOT OF ME, I CAN ASSURE YOU.

AS I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE,
I AM A SPIRITUAL MAN

WHO DEVOTED HIS LIFE...

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE, SIR.

I BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE
INSIDE THE ARMY OF ALLAH

WAS TRYIN' TO PASS SOME
PRETTY IMPORTANT SECRETS

ALONG TO THE UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENT.

AMONG THOSE SECRETS WAS
INFORMATION CONCERNING

20 POUNDS OF SEPARATED PLUTONIUM

AND THE NAME OF
THE C.I.A. OFFICER

WHO HELPED YOU GET IT.

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

THESE ARE THE LIES TOLD

BY THAT INFIDEL BOY.

I BELIEVE IT'S TRUE.

BECAUSE YOU WISH TO BE DECEIVED.

NO.

BECAUSE MALIK FARA
SPEAKS FROM THE DEAD.

WELL, THAT IS
ABSURD, MISS JOHNSON.

AND EVEN WERE IT NOT,

WHAT IS THE WORD OF A DEAD
BOY WORTH IN A COURT OF LAW?

WE'LL SEE.

I NEED TO KNOW WHERE
THAT PLUTONIUM IS,

AND I WANT TO MEET
THE C.I.A. OFFICER

WHO HELPED YOU GET IT.

AND I WANT YOU TO
ARRANGE THAT MEETING

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SIR.

I'M AFRAID YOU AND I
HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY

TO EACH OTHER, MISS JOHNSON.

ALL RIGHT THEN, SIR.

GOOD NIGHT.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

Flynn: NO SIGN OF HIM OVER HERE.

Provenza: WHAT ABOUT OVER THERE?

NADA.

DOCTOR IS ABOUT AN HOUR LATE.

YOU KNOW, CHIEF,

THIS MAY NOT BE THE GUY.

HE'S THE GUY, AND HE'LL SHOW.

I LEFT EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS

INSIDE MALIK'S BEAR

TELLIN' THE DOCTOR
EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED

AND EXACTLY WHAT I
WOULD DO IF I DIDN'T GET IT.

SO UNLESS HE WANTS TO
BE ARRESTED FOR MURDER

TOMORROW MORNING, HE'LL SHOW.

EVERYONE BUT FLYNN,

STAY AS STILL AS POSSIBLE.

TAR PITS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE CITY.

AND THEY SAY L.A. HAS NO CENTER.

YOU KNOW, SOMETHING'S
BOTHERING ME A LITTLE.

WHAT'S THAT, SERGEANT?

THIS WHOLE C.I.A. THING.

I DON'T KNOW HOW
MUCH I TRUST THEM.

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT THE PEOPLE

WHO WORK THERE, YOU KNOW?

I KNOW.

IT'S A... GRAY AREA.

I REMEMBER ONCE HEARING A SPEECH

ABOUT WHAT IT MEANT TO BE

AN OFFICER OF THE C.I.A.,

AND THE MAN WHO GAVE THIS SPEECH

TALKED ABOUT THE STRUGGLE
TO CONTROL CIVILIZATION,

AND HOW WE'RE ALWAYS
FIGHTING THE SAME FIGHT.

AND HE USED THE DARK
AGES AS AN EXAMPLE.

AND HE TALKED ABOUT
HOW, ON THE ONE SIDE,

YOU HAD THE PRAGMATIC KING WHO
WAS GREEDY AND POWER-HUNGRY,

AND BASICALLY TOOK ADVANTAGE
OF PEOPLE WHENEVER HE COULD.

AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, YOU
HAD THE IDEALISTIC CHURCH

FORCIN' EVERYONE TO
FOLLOW THE SAME RULES,

BELIEVE THE SAME
THINGS, ALL THAT.

NEITHER THE KING NOR THE CHURCH

WAS EVER COMPLETELY
RIGHT OR WRONG.

BOTH SIDES ENDED UP
DOIN' TERRIBLE THINGS

TO GET WHAT THEY WANTED.

REALLY TERRIBLE THINGS.

BUT THE POINT OF
THE STORY WAS THIS...

THAT THIS STRUGGLE
FROM THE DARK AGES

HAD BEEN GOIN' ON FOREVER.

AND THE CHURCH AND THE KING

MIGHT TAKE ON DIFFERENT
FORMS AND PHILOSOPHIES,

BUT THAT THEY WOULD
ALWAYS FIGHT EACH OTHER.

PRAGMATISTS AND IDEALISTS.

AND THEN MOST TIMES,

YOU'RE BETTER OFF
STANDIN' ON THE SIDELINES

AND LETTIN' THEM DUKE IT OUT.

BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER

DECIDES IT MIGHT
BE BETTER TO JUST

BLOW UP THE WHOLE
WORLD, JUST GET ITS OWN WAY.

AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS,

YOU CAN'T STAND ON
THE SIDELINES ANYMORE.

YOU HAVE TO PICK A TEAM.

AND SO, FOR TONIGHT, ANYWAY,

WE'RE SERVIN' THE KING.

Gabriel: CHIEF,
SOMEBODY'S COMIN'.

ALL RIGHT, SERGEANT.
NO ONE MOVES

UNTIL BOTH PARTIES
COME TOGETHER.

UH, HERE COMES
THE DOCTOR, CHIEF,

AND HE'S HEADING
RIGHT FOR THE BRIDGE.

KEEP MOVIN'. DON'T LOOK AT HIM.

HEY, CHIEF, THERE'S
SOMEBODY ELSE HERE.

HOLD STILL, EVERYONE.
LET THEM GET TOGETHER.

HELLO, DOCTOR.

I GATHER WE'RE IN
TROUBLE SOMEHOW.

YES, UH, WE ARE.

WE ALL MUST LEAVE TONIGHT.

PERSONALLY, I THINK WE
STAYED TOO LONG ALREADY,

ESPECIALLY WITH VOITSKI
GETTING PINNED IN THE HEAD.

WHAT ABOUT OUR
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS?

YES, WE HAVE TRANSFERRED
THE LAST $10 MILLION

TO YOUR SWISS BANK ACCOUNT.

TIME TO ENJOY THAT LITTLE VILLA

ON THE MEDITERRANEAN, YES?

YES. WE SHOULD MOVE TO THE EXIT.

I HAVE TRANSPORTATION FOR YOU.

THEY'RE MOVING OUT, CHIEF.

ALL RIGHT, THEN. GO FOR IT.

BUT BE CAREFUL. ONE
OF THEM MIGHT BE ARMED.

WE MUST HURRY. COME.

DAMN IT. GO.

YOU LED ME INTO A TRAP, YOU...

HE-HE HAS A GUN!
HE-HE HAS A GUN!

HE HAS A GUN!

[GUNSHOT]

WHAT WAS THAT SHOT?!

DON'T MOVE!

Brenda: WHAT WAS THAT SHOT?!

DON'T MOVE. YOU MOVE, IT'LL
BE THE LAST THING YOU DO,

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!

WHO'S HURT?!

IS ANYONE HURT?

PAT DOWN THE DOCTOR.

WE DON'T WANT ANY
SURPRISES IN THE VAN.

LET'S GO.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?

SPY BOY HERE TOOK A SHOT AT ME.

YOU TWO... YOU TWO FOLLOW US.

LIEUTENANT FLYNN,
SERGEANT GABRIEL?

NOBODY'S HIT, NOBODY'S HIT.

WE GOT HIM. IT'S RICHARD BRANCH.

WE GOT HIM.

AH.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE.

ESCORT THE VAN BACK HERE.
TURN OFF THE HEADPIECES.

AND, UM, BUZZ, GIVE THE
DOCTOR YOUR HEADPHONES.

DON'T BOTHER ARRESTING ME.

DON'T BOTHER
READING ME MY RIGHTS.

MY KNOWLEDGE OF
THE ARMY OF ALLAH

IS EXTENSIVE, AND THE
AGENCY WOULD RATHER

I SHARE IT THAN GO TO JAIL.

WHY NOT DO BOTH?

WE SHOULD MEET.

I'M SPECIAL AGENT FRITZ
HOWARD OF THE F.B.I.

YOU'RE NOT GOING
BACK TO THE AGENCY.

SO JUST SHUT UP
AND SIT VERY STILL.

Brenda: DR. AL-THANI,
CAN YOU HEAR ME?

YES. IS... IS...

IS MALIK STILL ALIVE?

NO, SIR. HE'S NOT.

I'M SORRY. I TRIED
NOT TO MISLEAD YOU

ON THAT POINT.

AND I HATE TO ARREST YOU,

BUT WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

HOW MUCH LONGER
BEFORE YOUR ABSENCE

WILL BE NOTICED AT
THE AL-FULANI HOUSE?

UH, 2 HOURS AT THE
MOST. I... I MUST GO BACK.

NO, YOU CAN'T GO BACK, DOCTOR.

YOU CAN'T KEEP ME HERE!

DOCTOR, WE'VE GOT
AN AWFULLY GOOD SET

OF PRINTS FROM THAT ICE PICK

THAT YOU SHOVED
IN VOITSKI'S EAR.

SO IF YOU DON'T HELP US,

I'M GOING TO ARREST
YOU FOR MURDER.

VOITSKI MURDERED MY SON!

YOU KILLED YOUR SON WHEN
YOU RAN OFF AND LEFT HIM.

YOU ACTUALLY SEWED
VOITSKI'S LEG UP

AFTER HE MURDERED YOUR SON!

I HAD TO! THERE
WERE PEOPLE THERE.

WHY... WHY DID THEY DO THIS?

THERE WAS NO
REASON TO KILL MALIK!

THEY MADE A MISTAKE.

BUT YOU CAN MAKE
THEM PAY FOR IT.

OR YOU CAN SPEND
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

IN AN AMERICAN PRISON.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

ARE YOU STILL WITH ME?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE
SEPARATED PLUTONIUM IS?

YES, YES.

IT'S IN HAMBURG.

Brenda: IS IT WHERE
WE CAN GET TO IT?

YES, I CAN GIVE YOU THE ADDRESS.

WELL, THEN SPEAK FAST, DOCTOR.

BECAUSE THE SECOND
PEOPLE KNOW YOU'RE GONE,

WE LOSE EVERYTHING.

GERMAN AUTHORITIES CALLED.
THEY FOUND THE PACKAGE.

OH, THAT'S A RELIEF ANYHOW.

YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW
YOU HAVEN'T EXACTLY

PLAYED THIS BY ANDREW'S RULES.

OH, I THINK I GOT IT COVERED.

THANKS. MM-HMM.

GOOD WORK, EVERYBODY.

GLAD TO HAVE YOU
BACK, DETECTIVE SANCHEZ.

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA.

THANK YOU, CHIEF POPE, SIR.

[IMITATING SANCHEZ]
THANK YOU, CHIEF POPE, SIR.

GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK, SANCHEZ.

[LAUGHTER]

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

DOCTOR.

I...

I HEARD MY SON PLAYING IN
THE BACK OF AN AUDITORIUM.

AFTER HIS MOTHER LEFT,
I WENT TO MEET HIM...

BECAUSE IT WAS SO
BEAUTIFUL WHAT HE COULD DO.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP HIM.

DID YOU EVER IDENTIFY
YOURSELF TO HIM AS HIS FATHER?

DID YOU EVER TELL MALIK

WHY YOU WERE TRYING TO HELP HIM?

THAT'S ENOUGH. UH,
THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

BRENDA? YEAH?

YOU WENT BACK ON OUR DEAL.

I DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU ASKED.

THE GERMANS HAVE THE
SEPARATED PLUTONIUM,

AND THE F.B.I. HAS RICHARD.

AND YOU HAVE DR. AL-THANI.

AND I'M TOLD THAT RICHARD BRANCH

WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE
TO YOUR DEBRIEFERS

WHENEVER YOU WANT HIM.

YOUR JOB WAS GIVEN BACK
TO YOU ON THE CONDITION...

ANDREW, WHILE I APPRECIATE
THE AGENCY'S ASSISTANCE,

SINCE I'VE GIVEN
THE F.B.I. FULL CREDIT

ON A MAJOR ESPIONAGE ARREST,

THEY'RE MY NEW BEST FRIENDS.

AND I HAVE GIVEN YOU A MURDERER.

AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA

HOW HARD THAT IS FOR ME TO DO.

Pope: LOOK, I THINK I GET
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

THE C.I.A. IS EMBARRASSED

ABOUT AN INTELLIGENCE FAILURE...

AGAIN. THEY'RE USED TO IT.

BRENDA DID HER
JOB. YOU DID YOURS.

CAN'T THIS JUST BE OVER?

YES, WELL, I'VE EXPRESSED

THE COMPANY'S
OFFICIAL IRRITATION.

HMM. IT WAS NICE SEEING
YOU AGAIN, BRENDA.

I WISH YOU WELL. I
DO... WISH YOU WELL.

YOU, TOO, SIR.

OH, AND IF ANYONE ASKS YOU,

I WAS AS MAD AS A HORNET.

THANK YOU, SIR.

DID I HEAR THE WORDS "GOOD
JOB" IN THERE ANYWHERE?

YEAH, BUT IT WAS IN CODE.

[CHUCKLES]

[NAIL FALLS ON FLOOR]

OHH.

I LIKE IT RIGHT THERE.

YOUR PICTURE.

JIM PROVENZA!

WHAT ARE YOU
DOIN' HERE? IT'S LATE!

WHY AREN'T YOU HOME?

'COURSE, IDEALLY, YOU WOULD...

YOU KNOW, YOU'D
HANG IT UP RIGHT NOW

AND PUT IT BACK
WHERE IT BELONGS,

OR PRAGMATICALLY, YOU MIGHT JUST

SET IT DOWN ON THE FLOOR.

BUT YOU SEE, YOUR INSTINCT IS

TO SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE

SO THAT EVEN IF IT'S
NOT PERFECTLY PLACED,

YOU CAN STILL SEE IT.

AREN'T YOU TIRED?

YEAH. YEAH.

BUT I HADN'T BEEN
HERE IN A WHILE,

AND, I DON'T KNOW, I
KINDA MISSED THE PLACE.

PLUS, BEFORE HE LEFT TONIGHT,

FLYNN PILED UP MY DESK

WITH EVERY COFFEE
CUP IN THE JOINT,

OLD CASE FILES.

I THINK HE EVEN BROUGHT A
LITTLE TRASH FROM HIS HOUSE.

SO I JUST THOUGHT THAT
BEFORE I CLEANED IT UP,

I MIGHT, UH...

TAKE YOU OUT TO BREAKFAST.

YOU KNOW SOME
PLACE FAST AND CHEAP?

FAST AND CHEAP IS MY SPECIALTY.

SO COME ON.

LET'S GRAB A BITE TO EAT,
AND THEN WHEN WE GET BACK,

I'LL HANG YOUR PICTURE
UP SO YOU DON'T GO NUTS.

WELL, HOW CAN I REFUSE
AN INVITATION LIKE THAT?

JUST GIVE ME ONE SECOND.
