The Grid (2004): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Pardon me, ma'am.
May I have a look
at that bag, please?.
Wait here.
I'll bring you the money.
Thatwasn't the deal.
Cash on delivery.
We got monsterweed
when we were down in Ibiza.
And we got a few hits of X.
[ Girl ] That's crazy.
That's all they think about.
[All Laughing, Chattering]
[ Elevator Dings ]
Thanks, brother.
[ElevatorDoor Opens ]
[Kids Chattering In Hallway]
- Yo, man, you got the key?.
- You had it.
- All right. Don't go away.
- [ Laughs ]
[Elevator Dings ]
Hey, amigo, we need
a key. 3 B.
- $1 0 for a lost key.
- Whatever.
- Relax, mate. They're on the way down.
- [ Sighs ]
Gas!
- The door!
- [ Screaming ]
[ All Gasp ]
[ Choking ]
[Woman ]
Can somebodyhelp me?
Get out! Get out!
Move it! Move! Run! Run!
[ Baby Crying ]
[Sirens Wailing]
We've set up in here, sir.
- In a public house, Gregor?.
- Yes, sir.
- And whose idea was that?.
- Well, that would be mine, sir.
Thought it might come in handy
ifwe got peckish orthirsty.
- Functional pool table?.
- I'm afraid not, sir.
Pity.
You know him?.
No, sir.
Hold there.
[OverRadio]
Hold there.
Bad?.
Bad don't come into it.
This is ourworst nightmare.
Ourworst nightmare
is that in 1 0 years...
extreme Wahhabis will have taken over
the Saudi Arabian government...
and they could put a stranglehold
on the global economy.
- [ Both Panting ]
- You must encourage investment in Nigerian oil.
-Nigerian oil currently provides
6% of our oil imports...
-Uh-uh.
but it couldrise up to 25%.
This kindofeconomic incentive...
could blunt the growth
offundamentalism in Nigeria--
- Had enough of me?.
- I can't get enough of you.
[ Telephone Ringing]
[ Groans ]
Where's the noise
coming from?.
C.IA.'s checking the neo-Wahhabis,
Hamas, Abu Sayyaf.
MI5 is looking at VX, Mustard.
NSA is picking up
a lot of chatter.
This is a sweat grenade.
Let's not have it
go offin our faces.
[Man On TV]
Nobodyelse wantedhim.
They had no place else to go.
[ Yawns ]
Game over?.
Soon.
1 2 years to play one game,
and you say baseball is slow?.
[ Sighs ]
Little man conked out before halftime.
I tried waking him, but--
Sleep ofthe innocent.
Must have been his second beer.
Hey.
- Is it over?.
- It's over, little man. Duke won.
- Again?.
- [Man On TV] I've neverseen anything like this!
How many times have you
seen that game?.
- Duke has won!
- Every time is like the first time.
[ Whispering ]
Like when I see you naked in the shower.
[ Laughs ]
Right. Come on, big guy. It's time for bed.
[Telephone Ringing]
Canary.
I'm on myway.
- What?. What is it?.
- Terrorist attack in London.
A chemical, probablysarin,
has been released in a tourist hotel.
At least five people
have been killed in the incident.
Bureau's got a plane
waiting to take me to D.C.
You gonna be all right?.
Every time is like
the first time.
No group hasyet claimed
responsibility.
[Woman ]
So...
Menno's raw intelligence was accurate.
The gas was sarin.
- You've done well.
- 19 dead.
I'm not sure plaudits
are in order.
Do we know what their
target was meant to be?.
Yes, the Hamilton Grove Hotel.
Conference of Jewish
and Muslim educators.
Who's on site at the London
Traveller's Inn?.
5. The FBI will be joining.
Huh. As they must, I suppose.
- Where's Menno now?.
- Here in London.
He would do better
in Kazakhstan.
Sarah, Menno's
our premier agent in the region.
If he goes back in now,
we could lose him.
He has a wife and child.
Emily, this isn't the first time
you've been warned against forming...
emotional attachments
with your operatives.
We must know everything
about this sarin...
and whether there's more ofit,
no matter the personal cost.
We knew that the Russian black market
in biochem was a ticking bomb.
I just keep asking myself,
did I do enough?
Should I have taken
more chances?
- Pushed Dimitri harder or--
- Menno, it's more urgent for us...
to learn who acquired
the sarin than who sold it.
Is this London cell terminated
or is it still active?.
If it is, who's in charge?.
What's their agenda?.
And, Menno,
no unnecessary risks.
You're a good woman, Emily.
Not really. How's Ilsa?.
Happy here.
She's found some new friends.
Nicky's playing rugby.
Not bad for a Russian kid.
You don't have to
promise me anything.
I would go back in anyway.
I brief the president
in 15 minutes.
Please give me an update
on the London incident.
Raza Michaels is
our coordinating CT analyst.
Uh after canvassing our field agents
and reviewing the SIGI NT...
I believe this is
a stand-alone incident...
with no immediate
collateral threat to U.S. assets.
The perpetrators are likely members
ofa radical fringe cell...
Like Al Quanun
orJemaah Islamiya...
acting independently without the authorization
of any standing terrorist council.
I've called in Max Canary
from New York.
He's our terrorism task force
special agent in charge.
We had nothing on the radar screen.
We didn't see this coming.
Maren, what haveyou got?.
With all respect
to my CIA colleagues...
I strongly disagree that there is no immediate
threat to our citizens and interests.
The attempted use of a weapon
of mass destruction...
indicates a newlevel
ofdesperation.
If I may.
The imminent threat
ofa sarin incident here...
demands we quit the usual squabbling
and turfwars.
No more lip service
to cooperation between us.
This sarin is serious business.
So the game ofdatabases being off--limits...
or i nformation bei ng hoarded
has got to stop.
I am proposing a new interagency team
comprised ofanalysts...
and agents from the CIA,
FBI, and Defense.
This team will coordinate
all intelligence relating to the sarin threat.
What's radical is that this team
will bypass their own agency hierarchy...
and report di rectly to you,
Madam Advisor.
- I t's just more efficient.
- I 'm tired of these thinly-veiled attacks...
- on the integrity of my agency.
- Layoff-, Acton.
This is exactlywhat
Maren's talking about.
Not every criticism of procedure
and operations is a threat.
We don't need a cockamamie
pop-up team.
The Agency had static
on a sarin sale in the 'Stans last week.
Wait, wait, wait.
You knew about the sarin?.
Then why didn'tyou share
that information with us?.
Conflicting information.
We had no way ofauthenticating it.
[ Sighs ]
Catherine, as you know...
Maren has workedmiracles
at the Pentagon.
Cutting through all kinds
oflogjams between the services--
If such an ad hoc team is created,
I should lead it.
Well, then you should have been
the one to propose it, Acton.
Enough.
We strive for
interagency cooperation...
and a national intelligence symbiosis,
but I see no change.
Maren, you have your team.
Who doyou want?.
For starters...
Raza Michaels and Max Canary.
Maren, you'll also
have to bring MI 6 into the loop.
Keep in mind they've been
at this longer than we have...
and they presently feel like
they're riding in the rumble seat.
[ English Accent ]
In otherwords, don't ruffle their feathers, dear.
Thankyou, Acton.
I'll take that under advisement.
[Horn Honks ]
[ Speaking Arabic ]
[ Sobbing ]
Can you please speak to Caila?.
I want her to wear
a hijab to work.
Well, Caila is a modern woman...
who doesn't share
your understanding ofSharia.
You fancy her, brother?.
She's not the right woman for me.
Or for this clinic either.
Spending time with the men
in yourJama'at meetings...
has done little
foryour tolerance.
[ Speaking Arabic]
Ifyou want to knowwhat the meetings
are about,join one ofthewomen's groups.
However, I...
can try and be more discreet.
But Caila must respect our practices
ifshe's to continue working here.
- Please.
- [Knocking]
I'll speak to her.
Caila.
All right, let's look
atyour battle scars.
- [ Gasps, Groans ]
- Sorry.
A sense memory, a welcome reminder
ofwhen we fought.
Pain, real pain,
obliterates everything--
memory, love, even faith.
I was there too.
[ Speaking Arabic ]
You talk to me offaith.
Using sarin against
civilians, Muslims.
It's abominable.
It's against God.
I had nothing to do
with that. Nothing.
- I haven't been part oftheir schemes foryears.
- Oh, that's right.
You're supposed to be dead.
What areyou doing in Cairo?.
I haven't abandoned
the movement, Raghib.
I've been enjoying great success
as a fugitive. I've totally reinvented myself.
I have safe houses
from Cairo to Beirut.
I have been organizing...
manipulating a new strategy,
to take on your oppressors.
Andyou're right. What happened
in London was an abomination.
I see your sister is well.
She doesn't like me.
And you?.
Are you afraid also?.
Only ofyour vision
for a secular nation.
[ Chuckles ]
Our old argument.
First the revolution, my friend...
then we'll let the mullahs
and the people...
decide what the state
should be, hmm?.
How's yourwork going?.
Tell me.
Ah, well, we do
the best that we can...
but the government
and the Western drug companies...
control the distribution
of antibiotics.
Our poor are very low
on their list.
What drugs doyou need?.
Maybe I can do something.
I will not become a member...
ofyour new organization,
ifthat's what this is about.
So why me?.
[ Maren ]
You speakArabic...
and you're the C.IA.'s
best Mideast analyst.
I've read your reports.
And although I don't agree
with some ofyour assessments...
I always find
your analysis compelling.
Butyou disagree.
Enlighten me.
You write that Islam is the religion
ofthe oppressed.
I say it appeals to oppressed men because
it sanctions the oppression ofwomen.
To me, Islam is one thing-- fear.
And until the clerics
can stand up and say...
that killing people
is thework ofthe devil...
and that it is a woman's God-given right
to eat, sleep, walk, do, say...
whatever she wants, I'm dumb, deaf,
and blind to what they're selling.
Haveyou everbothered to ask
a Muslim woman ifshe feels oppressed?
Islam is the faith
of over a billion people.
Are you then saying
all one billion are criminal?.
I find it inexcusable
that a woman with your standing...
could judge an entire religion
bythe actions ofa fundamentalist faction.
Howwould you feel
ifl judged all Christians...
bythe actions ofthe KKK?.
Islam inspired
a humane civilization...
and made some ofthe greatest contributions
to the culture oftheworld.
But because ofsome narrow thinking
by governments like ours...
and people like... you...
we're judged
by ourworst example.
Certainlyyou,
as an ambitious woman, can sympathize.
- You find this amusing, Max?.
- Amusing?.
No. Besides the point.
The point being?.
I lost my best friend
in the World Trade Center.
He had a wife, a new baby.
He was just a guy going to work.
He took the elevator up,
and he never took it down.
We buried his leg.
That's what was left--
his leg.
That'sjust one reason why...
I will never stop
going after these guys.
When you're up to
your ass in alligators...
it's hard to remember that your mission
is to drain the swamp.
All right.
Max, you go to London.
I've already been in contact with DerekJennings
of MI5. He's a straight shooter.
We've worked together
on several investigations since 9/1 1.
Great.
Raza, I wantyou to educate me
on who we're up against.
When I'm wrong,
I expectyou to set me right.
I can't believe
people would do this.
Well, believe it, Dad.
Excellent choice.
289 cubic inches.
Schwarzenegger of muscle cars.
Look at the engine.
- Where areyou off-to?
- Mosque. Okay if I take the Caddy?.
What, someone's
got a problem with Caddy?.
Don't be such a wise guy.
He's a customer.
You know what?.
I'm proud to be a Muslim.
Semperfi, man.
[ Speaking Arabic ]
What happened in London?.
Why let an old man and punks
execute any plan?.
For twoyears, I've been preparing
a comprehensive strategy.
The first step
is a small strike...
against the Western
oil interests in Nigeria.
I have recruited experienced fighters,
men I know and trust.
The Americans and the British
have decided to focus on Nigeria...
to free themselves
of dependency on Arab oil.
We can show them
that Africans are Muslim too.
So nowyou're the champion
ofthe downtrodden Muslim.
Haveyou ever stepped foot
in a mosque?.
Don't lecture me.
It is you and your OPEC friends
that hoard the great gift of oil...
while our brothers starve
and die in the streets.
[ Laughs ]
This is no mirage.
My strategy is to follow Nigeria
with simultaneous attacks...
on the American
and British oil infrastructure.
I even have a young American brother
who can operate freely in the U.S.
Together, we can collapse...
the oil-driven economy
ofthe West.
And all you need is money?.
Ifyou support this...
God will acceptyour repentance
foryour many sins.
[ Chuckles ]
Michaels.
You got a date
with the box next week.
I did the test lastyear.
Is it my imagination, or do
Muslim analysts take more heat?.
Oh, suck it up
and charge ahead.
By the way, ifl catch you
maneuvering behind my back...
with your new NSC pals,
you'll have a piss storm to deal with.
Schedule a polygraph
test everyweek.
Hell, I'll just wear the damn machine
around my neck.
This team belongs under
the Agency's purview-- my purview.
I expect reportability.
Rememberwhoyou work for.
Smoke?.
We found a lot ofbetting slips
in your flat,Jeremy.
You seem to be a man whose wagon
is firmly hitched to chance...
rather than to any...
political or religious ideology.
I haven't done anything.
Bets of300, 375 and$500
on football matches.
Bit heavy for someone
on yourwage.
Well, maybe he'sjust found
an additional source ofincome.
I 've been lucky.
You see,
what bothers us,Jeremy...
is that you were away
from your position at the hotel...
for longer than your boss
thought you needed to be...
for just an ordinary fag break.
Personally,
I thinkyou're a bloke...
who's just found a way out
of some horrendous gambling debts.
However...
ifyou're suffering
from some... misguided principle...
of protecting
the people who paid you...
I just need you
to understand one thing.
Theyintendedyou to die...
alongside everyone else.
Oh, they did.
Horribly...
indiscriminately.
You understand what I 'm saying?.
Deaths--
yours, his, mine...
the single mother who died
just shortly after theypushed...
the baby in the pram to safety.
You see, human life means
nothing to these people.
Just so much litter
theyhave to wade through...
to get to wherever
theybelieve they're going.
The thing is,Jeremy...
I really need your hel p, mate.
I needyou to tell me...
who paid you... and how.
Come on.
He came up to me
at my local bookie's.
Black guy. No, um--
Mixed race, but with dreads.
Exchanged money outside.
He said it made it look like
we were just splitting winnings.
So that became the arrangement.
- Name?.
- No, no names. No numbers.
No nothing.
I'll checkwhat CCTV
the bookie has.
We want video from the Met
covering that stretch of road.
Max.
How areya, mate?.
Good to seeyou.
- Love those red-eyes.
- [ Chuckles ]
- So what do you got?.
- Oh, he's just a Joe...
works at the Hamilton Grove Hotel.
Stole a couple ofteapots intended
to be the sarin delivery vessels.
I don't really think
he's one of them.
We got an I.D. on one of the dead.
Chap called Bashara.
I nside Al Qaeda,
he was on the lunatic fringe...
but he had bin Laden's ear.
- From the same Yemenite tribe.
- There's a gene pool.
Yeah. So what's going on?.
This all part ofsomething bigger?.
We're still working on it.
And I'm not here for the Bureau.
I'm on loan to the NSC.
- Really?.
- Only for this sarin business.
I'll showyou the site as soon
as we get clearance from Forensic.
You all right?.
No.
I hate being reactive.
People die and we scramble.
- You're resilient.
- Mm.
Tough as nails, I know.
I just don't want to think
about it for another minute.
Can we leave?.
You're not hungry?.
Mm-mm.
Not for food.
- You're amazing.
- [ Chuckles ] Why?.
'Cause I lose myself
so easilywith you?.
I just don't understand how somebody
so focused and single-minded...
can be so...
responsive.
Luckyyou.
I have a flight to catch
in two hours.
It's a private jet. They're not going
anywhere withoutyou.
Haveyou folks decided?.
We'll take the check.
How pure was the stuff?.
They didn't pull the instructions off
the Internet and mix it in their own bath.
Thirteen dead on a few drops.
Weapons grade stuff.
Small explosive.
It would have
thoroughly dispersed gas...
throughout the entire room
in seconds.
Hundreds dead straightaway.
Even more sick or dying.
Until all this sarin is recovered,
nowhere can be considered safe.
Do the words "needle" and "haystack"
mean anything toyou?.
[ Chattering ]
So when areyou gonna
make it official?.
It's still a complicated
situation with Jane.
I'm feeling
a lot of guilt, Derek...
Iike I'm... wearing
my best friend's shoes...
Iiving out his life.
Stickwith it, mate.
You'll sort it out.
You never had kids,
did you, Derek?.
No, I made a decision
very early on in my career...
that kids and queen and country
were incompatible.
- I was the son of an absentee father myself.
- [ Camera Shutter Clicks ]
So I wouldn't wish that
on any kid.
[ Clicking ]
[Derek]
Bingo. YoungJeremymeeting his contact.
Magnify that.
Police!
Don't move!
[ Groaning ]
Don't move!
Again.
What?.
Traveler's checks.
Lots of them.
Look fake to me.
Forgedpassport...
airline tickets.
It don't look like
our friend Bashara...
was exactly planning to join
the martyrs brigade, does it?.
- Money, some documents.
- Congratulations, Mr.Jennings.
You terminated
our only live resource.
How doyou propose
we access his contacts, hmm?.
Vital information,
now that he's deceased?.
Well, we used Tasers
in order to take him alive.
They're not normallylethal.
He refusedan order
to remain still.
- We assumed he was reaching for a weapon.
- Gloves, please.
So we lost our only direct link to the sarin
because you thought he had a weapon.
- And did he?.
- It turned out to be a camera.
Ifit had been a weapon,
he wouldn't be the only one dead, Ms.--
EmilyTuthill. MI6.
Max Canary.
I'm here on behalf...
ofthe National Security Council
and the FBI.
Do the NSC or FBI bring anything
to our little tea party, Mr. Canary?.
Or areyou here to tell us
how to lay the table, as usual?.
No tea forme, thankyou...
unless it's from Long Island,
and there's ice in it.
Ifwe have anything relevant,
I'm sure we'll share.
You'll forgive me
ifl don't hold my breath.
Excuse me?.
Certainly.
[ Emily]
Excellent eye for composition.
Ah, your dead friend attached
several J PEGs to his e-mail.
Yeah, I know these otherguys.
This one's ourMI5
counterterrorism liaison.
The other two are the Spanish
and Italian counterparts.
We must let them know. It wouldseem
they're targeting the opposition directly.
Their coverts are documenting
our movements.
[ Reading Arabic ]
" Death, shame, and disgrace to the enemies
of Islam and our Muslim brothers."
Well, gentlemen, you top the fatwa charts
from Jakarta to Algiers.
Let's see ifwe can find
where this originates from.
No. So, as the deceased
is a foreign national...
this ball is now officially
in the court of MI6.
Thankyou foryour help,
Mr.Jennings.
Please, call me Derek.
IfI'm not mistaken,
shejust cut offyour balls, Derek.
Just the one, Max.
Just the one.
Youshouldsee this.
What is it?.
Blueprints?. Ofwhat?.
Map ofthe New York subway.
What does MI5 say?
DerekJennings is taking
the threat seriously...
but the investigation
is being directed by MI6.
A woman named Tuthill.
EmilyTuthill.
- And she?.
- Didn't seem too interested in talking to me.
- Raza, who in the Agencytalks to MI6?.
- I can find out.
Look, we're trying something new here.
Screw bureaucracy.
Go directlyfrom analysis to action.
I'll watchyourbacks.
So tell me about the subways.
227 subway stops,
700 miles of track...
make it virtually
impossible to insulate...
the entire New York City
subway system from an attack.
- But all stops are not equal.
- Meaning?.
When you think of New York, you don't think
ofCrown Heights or Forest Hills.
- You think Manhattan.
- And how many subway stops in Manhattan?.
Sixty-five. But we can't rule out
the possibility...
of an attack
in any part ofthe city.
I think they're going to nail
a more populated area.
96th Street to the Battery.
- 30-something subway stops.
- That's the target area.
You hit that part of Manhattan,
the world comes to a stop.
?? [Arabic]
[ Whispers ]
[ Speaking Arabic ]
?? [Radio:Arabic]
You asked to see me?.
[ Speaking Arabic ]
You're a good man, Raghib,
a righteous man.
You doyour best,
but does it ever feel...
Iike it's emptying a sea
of miserywith a tea cup?.
It was stolen from
anAmerican base.
It's criminal.
We have to steal antibiotics.
Because our country won't provide it
for its own children.
Our people are dying
in body and spirit.
And the Americans
always ready to pounce...
with their self-serving democracy
and predatory economy.
And we are so... beaten down...
that we're prepared to accept
their godless materialism.
That's it.
That's the passion and fire
you had in Afghanistan.
Ah. I'm older now.
I have tempered
my fervorwith piety.
We are both older and wiser. Raghib,
I need men with the courage of conviction.
I'm sureyou already
have men like that.
Boys and thugs.
Followers, not leaders.
You're a physician.
You can travel the world above suspicion.
You speak their language
and can blend in.
Thankyou for the antibiotics...
and I appreciate thatyou value me...
but the truth is,
I'm of no use toyou.
The secret police monitor
meetings I attend.
Here in Cairo.
I'm talking about Nigeria.
Come observe our mission,
tend to ourjihadists.
See foryourself
if ourvisions are incompatible.
Trustyourself.
I sawyou in Afghanistan.
This is in your blood.
Still. Good. One more.
Good. Therewe go.
Readyfor another trip?.
Always.
You leave in a few days.
This won't be training
like the others.
This is your first mission.
- Where?.
- Africa.
- Muhammad looks forward to seeing you.
- She'll run better now.
- My kid take good care ofyou?.
- Yeah.
Kaz, come on.
Get in the picture. Come.
- Ah, it's not my scene, Dad.
- Come on. Come on.
Raffi's got me another dig,
so I'm gonna need to take, uh, fourweeks off.
- What's the price this time?.
- Relax.
This one's free.
Some school in Jordan's paying.
You are not using this to go back
to Chechnya and fight the Russians?.
You know, that's a great idea,
but, no.
- The truth?.
- I swear.
When you are done,
go to the Riviera. Have some fun.
- Okay, boys. Big smile, everyone.
- God bless America.
[Knocking]
Tell me about your interactions
with Ms.Jackson.
No real game plan until we know
the players on the other side.
- We need more from London.
- Not them, the NSC.
You want me to spy
on the NSC?.
That's yourjob. You report back
toyour own agency.
We're in a war, son...
and everyTom, Dick, and Harry
political appointee...
thinks they have
the Holy Grail to fight it.
Now, you don't
turn over the wheel...
to someone who hasn't
been down the road.
We've been down the road.
You understand?.
Yes, sir.
Good.
I'm sorry, Mum, but it's just
something's come up at work...
and I just I can't let them down.
- But I'll tell you what I'll do--
- [Train Engine Rumbling]
[ Muffled Shot ]
[ElevatorDings ]
[Alarm Ringing]
[ Telephone Ringing ]
- Hello?.
- [ Sarah ] Menno's dead.
What?.
I'm sorry.
I should have told you
to go to hell.
It's war, Emily.
You can't take it to heart.
No. That wouldn't
be correct, would it?.
[Keys Clack]
[ Typing ]
[ Arabic ]
You'll be expected to hand over
all receipts and unexpended cash...
once your operation is complete.
I was the mujahedeen point man for integrating
American weapons into Afghanistan.
I can keep count.
Your operation is in Nigeria...
so is an oil lease auction.
Western oil thieves will be there
to swindle the Nigerians.
What a remarkable coincidence.
You will also be pleased to know that no members
ofthe Saudi royal familywill be there.
So I have the council's blessing to take
advantage ofthis convergence of events?.
I also request thatyour scholars
issue a fatwa...
for two men whose blood
is legitimate for the mujahedeen...
in the pursuance of ourjihad.
Who are these enemies?.
Investigators in America
and the U.K....
where the next phase
of my plan is taking place.
[ Computer Beeps ]
Have a Havana.
Go on. I won't tell.
You said it was urgent,
you couldn't talk on the phone.
- I've got a connection to the London sarin.
- I'm listening.
I hear militant Salafists are bringing it
into Los Angeles across the Mexican border.
You know what they say--
Mexicans look a lot like us.
- Where and when?.
- I don't believe we have agreed on the price.
You haven't told me a thing.
They plan to use it in department stores.
You want more?. 1 0,000, cash.
You don't have dick,
and I'm not in the mood to play.
I got more important things to do.
Go, but when you have dead kids
and women coming upyour ass...
don't come crying to me
about another 9/1 1.
Don't play games with me.
Do not play games!
Theywere innocent people, my friends.
I lost friends, scumbag!
Ah, screwyour friends.
[ Groans ]
Dad! Daddy!
Dad! Daddy!
Hey! How's my little man?.
Wanna see myT. rex?.
Yeah. Hey, this
is a nice surprise.
I know.
Oh, man. He's cool...
and it looks like you a little bit.
[ Laughs ]
- It's just a word, you know.
- What?.
Daddy. Dad, Father.
I saw the wayyou reacted
when he called you daddy.
Tim is his father.
Tim's dead.
I love Eddie.
You know I do.
IfTim hadn't died, we wouldn't
be together, would we?.
-Jane, this is--
- Would we?.
I would have never
betrayed Tim...
no matter how much
I wanted to.
The night before Tim died, uh...
we had a fight.
I accused him of...
Ioving you more
than he loved me.
- Whywould you even--
- I was--
I was angry, and I was jealous.
Tim loved you.
Not ofyou--
ofTim.
I was jealous--
[ Sighs ]
ofthe time that he got
to spend with you.
[ Whispers ]
Hey.
Hey.
I loveyou.
[ Sighs ]
I loved you since...
forever.
Is that enough?.
Max, your hand.
Been a rough day.
Congratulations.
You wouldn't have had anything
to do with it, would you?.
How doyou mean?.
Did you talk to the director
on my behalf?.
The director and I talk about
lots ofthings.
Bureaucracies are like
aircraft carriers, Maren.
Big, powerful, slow to turn.
- The director knows this.
- I don't know.
Was it like this when you were
running state?.
Oh, bureaucratic waters
have always been treacherous.
The culture has changed.
Keepyour eye
on the ball, Maren.
Don't let the politics,
the in-fighting, distractyou.
The stakes are high.
I always feel better
after seeing you.
How did I get so lucky?.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
I had me eye on you at West Point.
Why?.
Well, you're from West Texas.
[ Chuckles ]
And I thought characterwas fate.
Now I learn
it's a matter of geography?.
You have something
to prove, Maren.
It's never good enough
to be good enough.
But when ambition
is tempered by conscience...
and a sense of responsibility...
it makes a person
unwilling not to try.
Trywhat?.
To be great.
It'd be nice ifhappiness figured
into that equation.
Mm.
The thing about happiness...
it's always a by-product,
never the end result.
Yeah, well, the money trail
tracks back to Switzerland.
We uncovered a wire transfer...
that Bashara
had received from Zurich.
The SSB is being
pretty uncooperative at the moment...
but we do know
thatArab NGOs...
have used this particularbranch
forprevious disbursements.
Swiss Securities Bank?.
My cousin's the director of I nvestment
Banking Latin America at SSB.
- I could make a discreet inquiry.
- Do it.
Why haven't you responded
to the subway threats?.
Well, I'm doing
what I can, believe me.
I've got our transport
police on full alert...
but MI6 is being obstructive...
about any, shall we say,
further useful action?.
- I have to agree with MI6.
- You do?.
London sarin was directed at Muslim
and Jewish leaders.
Targeting civilians in subways
is a new M.O. I don't buy it.
And the subway plans?. Would that be
for a new terrorist board game?.
What the hell is MI6 thinking
then, Derek?.
For the answer to that question,
you'll have to ask EmilyTuthill.
Well, I'm gonna go to London
and dojust that, face to face.
You go toZurich.
Follow the moneytrail.
[ Arabic]
[Knocking]
[Man]
Akil!
[Knocking Continues ]
Why aren't you at work?.
- Overslept.
- Your probation officer...
has told you about the importance
of punctuality with yourjob, Akil.
Yeah, I know, Hamid.
And you're not him...
soyou don't have
to behave like him.
- You want to go back to prison?.
- Of course not.
Well, come on. Hurry up.
I'll dropyou off.
And ifyou stop
giving me the evil eye...
I might even buyyou
a breakfast roll along the way.
I toldyou Menno hadbeen
compromised,yet we sent him in.
- I know this is difficult foryou--
- No, you don't know.
He trusted me. And I don't care
to hear another lecture...
about maintaining professional distance
from sources.
Stiff upper lip and all that.
He knewyou wouldn't ask him
to risk his life ifitwasn't important.
He knewwhat hewas doing, Emily.
And so did you.
I promised Menno
I'd take care ofhis family.
I want them to receive
some money. Real money.
Now that can be arranged.
Menno's assassination indicates
their cell has transparency.
- He must've got close.
- [Knocking]
Ifthat's what
we're being led to believe.
Another diversion, another futile step
in this endless dance.
You haven't earned that cynicism, Emily.
I suggestyou keep it toyourself.
Now that the sarin threat
is extended to New York...
expect the Americans
to be very much at hand.
- They'll be a distraction.
- The Americans aren't without their sources.
And resources.
You will be a team player.
The lone wolfshall
join the pack then?.
Emily, despite
your impeccable record...
there are those who thinkwe would
be well rid ofyour services.
I can't protectyou forever,
so tread lightly.
So, brother,
ready to go in the morning?.
I can't wait to get out ofhere.
This is a no-playcamp, Akil.
Fedayeen who fought
in Afghanistan and Chechnya.
We need English-speaking brothers.
Why are we on earth
if not to fight the domination...
and suppression of our people
through jihad?.
Damn well know I wasn't put here to clean
toilets and take crap from white knobs.
And when those who disbelieve...
plot againstyou, to
wound you, to kill you, they plot.
But God also plots...
and God is the best
of all plotters.
[Man ]
Come on. Let's go.
- Bye, Nili.
- Bye, guys.
Hey.
Are you deliberately trying
to screw me up?.
Blowing off
at agency security?.
And how are you
this fine morning, my brother?.
Oh, let me guess. It's about
my latest encounterwith the goon squad.
I told them to go
screw themselves. Again.
They've just got a job to do.
But ifyou cut loose like a wild woman,
it's gonna come down on you too.
Don'tyou get it?. You have to start
protecting yourself.
No, you don't get it, Raza.
This country doesn't trust our people.
This country doesn't trust you.
And that's whyyou told them
to go screw themselves?.
What do you think the C.IA.'s up to when
they raid my rights of privacy... again?.
Do I smoke pot?. Yes.
Does your brother?. No.
Are you a radical?. Yes.
Is he?. He has no politics.
What about your sexual preference?.
None ofyour business!
What about his?.
He has none...
because he is a fine,
upstanding Muslim man.
Your Islam's an anachronism.
Not this again.
You know what?.
You arejust as bigoted
as they are.
This isn't even about me!
This is aboutyou and your almighty career!
Calm down.
Ifyou rant like a radical...
they'll begin to treatyou like one.
And then you'll have
no privacy at all.
Whyis MI6 notpreparing fora terrorist attack
againstyoursubways?
Ah, this is what you call
"cutting to the chase"?.
Well, we're a small country
with limited resources, Ms.Jackson.
We simply haven't the manpowerto deal
with every unsubstantiated threat.
DerekJennings seems to think
the threat is substantiated.
DerekJennings is 5.
The sarin attack
happened here in London...
but it killed people
from 4 different countries...
which makes it 6's business.
And I promiseyou the NSC
has no authority in the U.K.
Until we develop
information to the contrary...
the sarin attack begins
and ends with Bashara.
Unless, of course,
you've brought information...
in your carry-on that...
we don't haveyet.
I can tell you that one of my team members,
Raza Michaels, is in Switzerland...
tracking the money trail
that DerekJennings unearthed.
He has an inside source
to the Swiss Securities Bank.
- Really?. Swiss bankers can be difficult.
- Well, this one...
- Omar Massif, is Raza's cousin.
- I see.
And, uh, is that all you have?.
Look, I came here because
we need to form a partnership.
I'm here to personally
ask foryour support.
An appeal for transatlantic cooperation.
An alliance between equals?.
Exactly.
You see, the trouble is,
wheneverwe Brits...
enter into an alliance with you Yanks,
we invariably end up...
holding a very large bag of... poop.
I'm aware that things have been fractious
between our agencies post-Iraq.
Post- and pre-Iraq.
Your boss's cowboy tactics
didn't turn up much...
on Saddam's
weapons of mass destruction...
so as the service with a deeper
understanding ofthe region...
we were enlisted to find
what wasn't there...
and take the blame
for not finding it.
We made mistakes.
But the relationship I'm proposing...
is meant to prevent
these kinds of problems.
So I'm to become
a player on your team.
You know, this condescending
attitude is very destructive.
You've neither the experience nor the authority
to lecture me, Ms.Jackson.
Nor the endurance.
Excellent. Then I suggest
we've finished.
You know,
we share the same interests...
the same threats.
Whetheryou like it or not,
we need each other.
[Man Laughing]
But why didn'tyou call?.
I would have metyou at the airport.
How is your mother?.
How is Nili?.
Nili told Mother she's using ecstasy
to try to get a rise out ofher.
- What did your mother say?.
- She said that's the beauty
ofliving in a free country...
- but that she's sticking with Chanel Number 5.
- [ Laughing ]
Ah, where are my manners?.
Coffee?.
Coffee.
It's real Arab brew,
not European camel piss.
Cousin, haveyou ever
seen a camel?.
I have admired them from afar...
in races...
but the beast
implies a lifestyle...
I'm not well suited for.
So, what brings you to Zurich?.
Actually, the purpose
of myvisit is you.
- Me?.
- [DoorOpens ]
You're aware ofthe recent
sarin attack in London.
Money to the cell
was wired from this branch.
The accounts here were closed
immediatelyafterthe attack.
We need to know who opened them
and how they were funded.
What you are asking,
it's... impossible.
Network and account access
is tightly controlled.
Cousin, I wouldn't come here
and impose on you like this...
if it wasn't of
the greatest importance.
Even ifl could
giveyou whatyou want...
and I can't, this is a dangerous game
you are playing.
- This is not a game.
- Let me giveyou a hardlesson,young cousin.
It is a game.
And this bank, this industry,
this entire country...
exists because ofthe game.
And we are the scorekeepers.
But we only give out
the score to those who play.
Ourhistorywith this game...
precedes your agency
by a few centuries.
So, please, you must
respect my position in this matter.
I'm sorryyou feel
that way, cousin.
But I really need that
information before I leave.
Let me takeyou out...
for a nightyou will not forget.
Diversions we could not share
when you were a younger man.
Another time.
[Klaxon Sounding In Distance ]
?? [Piano, Softly]
You wouldn't by any chance
have a light?.
- Would you like a cigarette?.
- I don't smoke.
- Thankyou.
- Intriguing.
You don't drink.
You don't smoke. What doyou do?.
Ifit's a question of money,
I'm quite able to pay.
Areyou serious?.
- [ Chuckles ]
- [ Chuckles ]
No. I'm sorry.
I can't help myself.
Especiallywith an Agency man.
"E" is for Emily.
Raza Michaels.
But I thinkyou already know that.
[ Sighs ]
Is this because ofthe nosejob
I didon mysource?
Davi's a scumbag,
and I didn't give him anything...
he didn't have coming.
The Bureau wants me
to replace you.
Come on, Maren.
What is this?.
We got assholes
running around with sarin...
and I gotta do
this bureaucratic dance...
because Islappedaround
some lowlife piece ofcrap?
You broke his nose.
Yeah, well, he's got a big nose.
What happened to "watch my back"?.
How are things at home, Max?.
Things are hunky-dory, Maren.
How's things home with you?.
It is not a vendetta.
You can't take this personally.
No offense. I appreciate the earnest,
highly-informed perspective...
you and your people
bring to the table.
I do. But you're wrong.
This is personal.
It's verypersonal.
When some thug says
he wants to kill me...
kill the people I love...
maybe it's a hyperbole,
maybe it's just talk...
but afterwhat went down
on 9/1 1...
I give him the benefit ofthe doubt.
Don't lose it again, Max.
There are no more next times.
Did you have any luck
with cousin Omar?.
Cousin Omar?.
I had breakfast this morning...
with your boss
Maren Jackson in London.
- She toldme.
- Then you understand I really
have to speakwith her first.
Well, naturally,
but allow me to presume?.
Cousin Omar doesn't have access...
to the information you requested,
and ifhe had, he wouldn't tell you.
So he may have to be leaned on.
- The accounts are restricted.
- Leaned on, um, personally.
- Omarwouldn't lie to me.
- No.
No, of course not.
But ifhe's been less than forthcoming...
we should make sureyou're better
prepared foryour next encounter.
Oh.
Can't be easy being an American Muslim
working for the CIA.
Easy?.
No.
But I'm a better Muslim
and a better American for it.
I have to think about
who I am...
and what I believe.
Most people take
those things for granted.
What doyou believe?.
Big picture?.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
I believe that the battle
is between globalists...
and remnants
ofthird-world tribes...
resisting the push
into the 21 st century.
Oil-- that's what
the battle's about.
That's what the tribes have,
what we need.
What the terrorists want
to stop us from having.
The first time I was recruited
to a camp, I was 1 5.
My dad thought
I was on a school trip.
Didn't speakArabic.
Never shot a gun before.
I was basically scared
and felt powerless.
But a few ofthe older Chechen brothers,
they looked out for me.
They helped make me
a Muslim and a man...
more than my dad ever did.
So don't worry.
We'll look out for each other.
I'll look out foryou, man,
all right?.
Just wait till you get to shoot, man.
It's a blast.
- Kaz.
- [ Arabic ]
Salaam alaikum.
How areyou, brother?.
Who's the blond boy?.
Kaz. My golden boy.
A Chechen kid brought up in the U.S.
An American citizen.
He's been to the camps before,
but he was too young to deploy.
The Americans
don't know about him?.
He has protected him for us.
It is good to have you by my side.
Kaz.
Salaam. You are a man now.
- Your Arabic has improved.
- I've been studying. Waiting.
The studying never stops.
The waiting... is over.
We are not here to train.
We are here
to execute a mission.
- We are here to fight!
- [ Cheering ]
Ifyou're notprepared
to kill, and die...
then I respectyour choice.
But step forward now,
before ourplans are revealed...
and you wi I l go
with my blessi ng.
You... will be on
the next truck out of here.
Who else?.
Hmm?.
You belong, brother.
Trust me.
[Muhammad]
Tomorrow we start.
[ Honking ]
- [ Banging ]
- Piss stop. This is it till Lagos.
No!
What have you done?.
Why did you do that?.
He would have gone home to his family
and told them everything.
You didn't have to kill him.
Howlong doyou think he would
have lasted under Yemeni torture?
How long before he told them
about us...
before the American bombs
were dropping on us?
I t had to be done.
Come on.
Let's bury him
before the vultures take him.
[ Gasps ]
Who are you?.
You don't know?.
I am a widow.
Does that help?.
Ilsa, of course.
I'm so sorry--
I received your money.
That is not why I came.
This...
came in the mail.
Menno sent it to himself.
Oh. This is helpful.
Thankyou.
You murdered him.
I wish I could afford to throw
your blood money in yourface.
[Telephone Ringing]
-Jackson.
- EmilyTuthill.
Well, so it's true what
they say-- MI6 never sleeps.
I've just received information
that may require a change ofthinking.
I'm listening.
Bashara, the executor
ofthe London sarin attack...
had no known ties to any existing terrorist
network, but my new intelligence suggests...
we should be looking for another,
more serious actor on the scene.
- Who is he?.
- We've credible documentation...
that 2 ofthe most murderous
Kazakh Islamists...
have been recruited
for a mission in Nigeria.
It's being organized by a man
calling himself Muhammad.
There's a notation
by his name--
- [ Speaking Arabic]
- "Oil for blood."
I'm directing MI6 to further downplay
the sarin threat and focus on Nigeria.
Nigeria?.
Lagos. There's an oil
lease auction in 2 days.
That and the surrounding events
might present a propitious target.
It's interesting. I'll need
substantiation, sat photos, SIGI NT...
ifI'm gonna take this
down the hall.
- Understood.
- Yemen's arrested an associate of Bashara.
He's talking.
I'm going over there. Thankyou, Emily.
See these vehicles
and this garbage?.
This is supposed to be
a school.
But all I see are adults,
no kids.
You tell me what's going on.
Get it over to
the NSC right away.
[Man ]
Iam a graduate ofthe Citadel.
- And Fort Benning.
- Congrats.
So, do you have the tapes
of the prisoner's interrogation?.
Transcript only,
I am afraid.
But he freely admits to trading heroin
to the Russian official for the sarin gas.
And he freely admits
to doing it for Bashara?.
Of course. It was not a problem.
Ask him anything you want.
I will translate.
Tell him I'm from
the U.S. government.
[ Colonel Translating ]
Help me.
He speaks English?.
Will you leave us, please?.
Ah, it is not possible.
Ifyour relationship
with the U.S. military...
means anything foryour career,
you'll leave right now.
You speak to me truthfully
and I'll getyou out ofhere.
- You acquired sarin for Bashara?.
- Yes.
What other plans did he have
besides London?.
I know about the subways.
You will take me to America?.
Yes.
There's a small handheld computer...
in my apartment.
The detainee claims thatsarin has already
been smuggled into New York City.
A New York telephone number
was found on the PDA in his apartment.
- I passed it on to Max.
- Anythi ng on MI 6's N igerian i ntel?.
No. He knew nothing about it.
Unless NSA orphotos pick something up,
why add to the threat overload?
Nigeria-- it's just more static.
For now I recommend
we back-burner it.
- How'd you get all this?.
- The informant had been worked over by locals.
I promised him amnesty in the U.S.
You all right then?.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
All I'veseen isyou murder
an innocent boy.
Is that what I was brought here
to witness for myself?.
Patience, Doctor.
I look at your men.
They are not true Muslims.
Few pray regularly, if at all.
How can you wage war
with these people in Allah's name?.
Now let us see ifthe FBI
follow ourYemen bell like good sheep.
[Woman ]
I've got it. It's a disconnectedcell number.
- Where from?.
- The cellphone provider
billed an address in Red Hook.
- What is it?.
- Warehouse.
I talked to the landlord.
He's gonna fax us a tenant list.
- He remembers some Arabs.
- Put together a team-- Haz Mat, NYPD.
[ Beeping ]
Building is clean.
You're all clear.
Damn.
[Gunshot]
Sir! Sir!
I'm okay. I'm okay.
[Helicopter Whirring]
It was a trap.
A setup. Damn it!
- [Maren ] Max, areyou all right?
- I'm pissed.
The shooter I.D.'d me
from a photo taken in London...
by the same guy who had
the subway blueprint.
Which ties him
to the sarin attack.
It means there's
an active cell in place.
Here, in New York, now.
Mark, we have got to act on this.
Areyou certain?.
Yes.
All right. I'm taking it
to the Oval Office.
[Sirens Wailing]
Max is fine. Somebody took
a shot at him, but he had his vest on.
- He's okay.
- What?. Where is he?.
He's at the office.Jane, I'm gonna leave
a few men here just as a precaution.
We think Max might be
the target of a terrorist.
- What?.
- [Telephone Ringing]
- Oh, my God. Eddie.
- We've got somebodywith Eddie. He's fine.
- Max?.
- I don't know how to tell you this.
I'm gonna need a new vest.
Really pisses me off
losing that vest.
Yeah, it was a good vest.
The best.
Some ofthe boys
are gonna hang around...
for a little bit, make sure
you and Eddie are okay.
- Okay?.
- Okay.
- Max.
- Yeah.
- Please get them.
- Yeah.
I know you've been trying
to get ahold of me. I'm sorry, baby.
- I've been jammed.
- There was a tip on a move
against oil interest in Nigeria.
So far it's just
an unconfirmed rumor.
Everything's fine here.
Just watch yourself, okay?.
Not to worry. I always do.
I'm about to meet
with the grand poo-bah himself.
- Buy some glasses, sir.
- No. Thankyou.
- Oh, good going.
- I miss you already, baby.
Yeah.
Akil?.
[ Speaking Arabic On Tape ]
Can you speak up?.
I thought perhaps
you should know.
- Know what?.
- My brother.
And what about your brother?.
I think he might be
associating with people...
involved in terrorism of some kind.
- What's your name?.
- His name is Akil--
No. What's your name?.
Please, forget I was here.
[ Buzzer Sounding ]
Wait! Please.
I gave this to my brother
when he came of age.
A good-luck charm
to keep away evil spirits.
He never hung it up...
so they slipped in
without a struggle.
I realize how difficult
this must be...
to tell us all about this.
I thinkyou're being
very responsible and very brave.
I did it for my
brother's sake, notyours.
Have a look at this, sir.
"Lesson 1 4:. Using poisons
and cold steel."
"Lesson 1 6:. Planting explosives
for chemical dispersion."
Whatever happened to 5-a-side football
and a pint in the pub afterward?.
We're now getting live pictures...
ofthe complete evacuation
ofthe New York City subway system.
What are they doing?.
Now is not the time.
Well, MI5 is trumpeting
the discovery...
ofthe poison gas training manual...
to pressure for similar action
to be taken here on our underground.
I believewe're being manipulated
to focus on thewrong part oftheworld.
Let the Yanks dowhat they must.
We should wait.
And what ifyou'rewrong?.
Keepyour eye
on your British friend.
Ifhe performs, he could be useful
to our future plans.
Don't worry.
I've got his back.
Max.
Max, NYPD looked everywhere
for the shooter. Nothing.
And they're pulling out ofthe subway.
That turned up cold too.
It was never the target.
What?.
Theywanted us to think
theywere going after the subways.
Why?.
Everything indicated
theywere going to hit the subways.
You read it wrong.
Go home.
Get some sleep.
It's over.

- Yeah, man.

- It's the Michigan Wolverines in the Holiday Bowl.
- Doesn't get any more American than that.
- Hereyou are.

And put it on my tab.
- Thanks, man.
- Have a good time.

The New York subway is
open again this evening...
after being closed down
most of the day...
following what officials call...
a credible threat ofa sarin attack.
Your analysis was correct.
Last week, 19 people
were killed--
Multiple bombings in Lagos.
Dozens dead and wounded.
We were wrong.
I was wrong.
May I have a look
at that bag, please?.
Wait here.
I'll bring you the money.

Can somebodyhelp me?
Get out! Get out!
Move it! Move! Run! Run!
[ Baby Crying ]
[Sirens Wailing]
We've set up in here, sir.
- In a public house, Gregor?.
- Yes, sir.
- And whose idea was that?.
- Well, that would be mine, sir.
Thought it might come in handy
ifwe got peckish orthirsty.
- Functional pool table?.
- I'm afraid not, sir.
Pity.
You know him?.
No, sir.
Hold there.
[OverRadio]
Hold there.
Bad?.
Bad don't come into it.
This is ourworst nightmare.
Ourworst nightmare
is that in 1 0 years...
extreme Wahhabis will have taken over
the Saudi Arabian government...
and they could put a stranglehold
on the global economy.
- [ Both Panting ]
- You must encourage investment in Nigerian oil.
-Nigerian oil currently provides
6% of our oil imports...
-Uh-uh.
but it couldrise up to 25%.
This kindofeconomic incentive...
could blunt the growth
offundamentalism in Nigeria--
- Had enough of me?.
- I can't get enough of you.
[ Telephone Ringing]
[ Groans ]
Where's the noise
coming from?.
C.IA.'s checking the neo-Wahhabis,
Hamas, Abu Sayyaf.
MI5 is looking at VX, Mustard.
NSA is picking up
a lot of chatter.
This is a sweat grenade.
Let's not have it
go offin our faces.
[Man On TV]
Nobodyelse wantedhim.
They had no place else to go.
[ Yawns ]
Game over?.
Soon.
1 2 years to play one game,
and you say baseball is slow?.
[ Sighs ]
Little man conked out before halftime.
I tried waking him, but--
Sleep ofthe innocent.
Must have been his second beer.
Hey.
- Is it over?.
- It's over, little man. Duke won.
- Again?.
- [Man On TV] I've neverseen anything like this!
How many times have you
seen that game?.
- Duke has won!
- Every time is like the first time.
[ Whispering ]
Like when I see you naked in the shower.
[ Laughs ]
Right. Come on, big guy. It's time for bed.
[Telephone Ringing]
Canary.
I'm on myway.
- What?. What is it?.
- Terrorist attack in London.
A chemical, probablysarin,
has been released in a tourist hotel.
At least five people
have been killed in the incident.
Bureau's got a plane
waiting to take me to D.C.
You gonna be all right?.
Every time is like
the first time.
No group hasyet claimed
responsibility.
[Woman ]
So...
Menno's raw intelligence was accurate.
The gas was sarin.
- You've done well.
- 19 dead.
I'm not sure plaudits
are in order.
Do we know what their
target was meant to be?.
Yes, the Hamilton Grove Hotel.
Conference of Jewish
and Muslim educators.
Who's on site at the London
Traveller's Inn?.
5. The FBI will be joining.
Huh. As they must, I suppose.
- Where's Menno now?.
- Here in London.
He would do better
in Kazakhstan.
Sarah, Menno's
our premier agent in the region.
If he goes back in now,
we could lose him.
He has a wife and child.
Emily, this isn't the first time
you've been warned against forming...
emotional attachments
with your operatives.
We must know everything
about this sarin...
and whether there's more ofit,
no matter the personal cost.
We knew that the Russian black market
in biochem was a ticking bomb.
I just keep asking myself,
did I do enough?
Should I have taken
more chances?
- Pushed Dimitri harder or--
- Menno, it's more urgent for us...
to learn who acquired
the sarin than who sold it.
Is this London cell terminated
or is it still active?.
If it is, who's in charge?.
What's their agenda?.
And, Menno,
no unnecessary risks.
You're a good woman, Emily.
Not really. How's Ilsa?.
Happy here.
She's found some new friends.
Nicky's playing rugby.
Not bad for a Russian kid.
You don't have to
promise me anything.
I would go back in anyway.
I brief the president
in 15 minutes.
Please give me an update
on the London incident.
Raza Michaels is
our coordinating CT analyst.
Uh after canvassing our field agents
and reviewing the SIGI NT...
I believe this is
a stand-alone incident...
with no immediate
collateral threat to U.S. assets.
The perpetrators are likely members
ofa radical fringe cell...
Like Al Quanun
orJemaah Islamiya...
acting independently without the authorization
of any standing terrorist council.
I've called in Max Canary
from New York.
He's our terrorism task force
special agent in charge.
We had nothing on the radar screen.
We didn't see this coming.
Maren, what haveyou got?.
With all respect
to my CIA colleagues...
I strongly disagree that there is no immediate
threat to our citizens and interests.
The attempted use of a weapon
of mass destruction...
indicates a newlevel
ofdesperation.
If I may.
The imminent threat
ofa sarin incident here...
demands we quit the usual squabbling
and turfwars.
No more lip service
to cooperation between us.
This sarin is serious business.
So the game ofdatabases being off--limits...
or i nformation bei ng hoarded
has got to stop.
I am proposing a new interagency team
comprised ofanalysts...
and agents from the CIA,
FBI, and Defense.
This team will coordinate
all intelligence relating to the sarin threat.
What's radical is that this team
will bypass their own agency hierarchy...
and report di rectly to you,
Madam Advisor.
- I t's just more efficient.
- I 'm tired of these thinly-veiled attacks...
- on the integrity of my agency.
- Layoff-, Acton.
This is exactlywhat
Maren's talking about.
Not every criticism of procedure
and operations is a threat.
We don't need a cockamamie
pop-up team.
The Agency had static
on a sarin sale in the 'Stans last week.
Wait, wait, wait.
You knew about the sarin?.
Then why didn'tyou share
that information with us?.
Conflicting information.
We had no way ofauthenticating it.
[ Sighs ]
Catherine, as you know...
Maren has workedmiracles
at the Pentagon.
Cutting through all kinds
oflogjams between the services--
If such an ad hoc team is created,
I should lead it.
Well, then you should have been
the one to propose it, Acton.
Enough.
We strive for
interagency cooperation...
and a national intelligence symbiosis,
but I see no change.
Maren, you have your team.
Who doyou want?.
For starters...
Raza Michaels and Max Canary.
Maren, you'll also
have to bring MI 6 into the loop.
Keep in mind they've been
at this longer than we have...
and they presently feel like
they're riding in the rumble seat.
[ English Accent ]
In otherwords, don't ruffle their feathers, dear.
Thankyou, Acton.
I'll take that under advisement.
[Horn Honks ]
[ Speaking Arabic ]
[ Sobbing ]
Can you please speak to Caila?.
I want her to wear
a hijab to work.
Well, Caila is a modern woman...
who doesn't share
your understanding ofSharia.
You fancy her, brother?.
She's not the right woman for me.
Or for this clinic either.
Spending time with the men
in yourJama'at meetings...
has done little
foryour tolerance.
[ Speaking Arabic]
Ifyou want to knowwhat the meetings
are about,join one ofthewomen's groups.
However, I...
can try and be more discreet.
But Caila must respect our practices
ifshe's to continue working here.
- Please.
- [Knocking]
I'll speak to her.
Caila.
All right, let's look
atyour battle scars.
- [ Gasps, Groans ]
- Sorry.
A sense memory, a welcome reminder
ofwhen we fought.
Pain, real pain,
obliterates everything--
memory, love, even faith.
I was there too.
[ Speaking Arabic ]
You talk to me offaith.
Using sarin against
civilians, Muslims.
It's abominable.
It's against God.
I had nothing to do
with that. Nothing.
- I haven't been part oftheir schemes foryears.
- Oh, that's right.
You're supposed to be dead.
What areyou doing in Cairo?.
I haven't abandoned
the movement, Raghib.
I've been enjoying great success
as a fugitive. I've totally reinvented myself.
I have safe houses
from Cairo to Beirut.
I have been organizing...
manipulating a new strategy,
to take on your oppressors.
Andyou're right. What happened
in London was an abomination.
I see your sister is well.
She doesn't like me.
And you?.
Are you afraid also?.
Only ofyour vision
for a secular nation.
[ Chuckles ]
Our old argument.
First the revolution, my friend...
then we'll let the mullahs
and the people...
decide what the state
should be, hmm?.
How's yourwork going?.
Tell me.
Ah, well, we do
the best that we can...
but the government
and the Western drug companies...
control the distribution
of antibiotics.
Our poor are very low
on their list.
What drugs doyou need?.
Maybe I can do something.
I will not become a member...
ofyour new organization,
ifthat's what this is about.
So why me?.
[ Maren ]
You speakArabic...
and you're the C.IA.'s
best Mideast analyst.
I've read your reports.
And although I don't agree
with some ofyour assessments...
I always find
your analysis compelling.
Butyou disagree.
Enlighten me.
You write that Islam is the religion
ofthe oppressed.
I say it appeals to oppressed men because
it sanctions the oppression ofwomen.
To me, Islam is one thing-- fear.
And until the clerics
can stand up and say...
that killing people
is thework ofthe devil...
and that it is a woman's God-given right
to eat, sleep, walk, do, say...
whatever she wants, I'm dumb, deaf,
and blind to what they're selling.
Haveyou everbothered to ask
a Muslim woman ifshe feels oppressed?
Islam is the faith
of over a billion people.
Are you then saying
all one billion are criminal?.
I find it inexcusable
that a woman with your standing...
could judge an entire religion
bythe actions ofa fundamentalist faction.
Howwould you feel
ifl judged all Christians...
bythe actions ofthe KKK?.
Islam inspired
a humane civilization...
and made some ofthe greatest contributions
to the culture oftheworld.
But because ofsome narrow thinking
by governments like ours...
and people like... you...
we're judged
by ourworst example.
Certainlyyou,
as an ambitious woman, can sympathize.
- You find this amusing, Max?.
- Amusing?.
No. Besides the point.
The point being?.
I lost my best friend
in the World Trade Center.
He had a wife, a new baby.
He was just a guy going to work.
He took the elevator up,
and he never took it down.
We buried his leg.
That's what was left--
his leg.
That'sjust one reason why...
I will never stop
going after these guys.
When you're up to
your ass in alligators...
it's hard to remember that your mission
is to drain the swamp.
All right.
Max, you go to London.
I've already been in contact with DerekJennings
of MI5. He's a straight shooter.
We've worked together
on several investigations since 9/1 1.
Great.
Raza, I wantyou to educate me
on who we're up against.
When I'm wrong,
I expectyou to set me right.
I can't believe
people would do this.
Well, believe it, Dad.
Excellent choice.
289 cubic inches.
Schwarzenegger of muscle cars.
Look at the engine.
- Where areyou off-to?
- Mosque. Okay if I take the Caddy?.
What, someone's
got a problem with Caddy?.
Don't be such a wise guy.
He's a customer.
You know what?.
I'm proud to be a Muslim.
Semperfi, man.
[ Speaking Arabic ]
What happened in London?.
Why let an old man and punks
execute any plan?.
For twoyears, I've been preparing
a comprehensive strategy.
The first step
is a small strike...
against the Western
oil interests in Nigeria.
I have recruited experienced fighters,
men I know and trust.
The Americans and the British
have decided to focus on Nigeria...
to free themselves
of dependency on Arab oil.
We can show them
that Africans are Muslim too.
So nowyou're the champion
ofthe downtrodden Muslim.
Haveyou ever stepped foot
in a mosque?.
Don't lecture me.
It is you and your OPEC friends
that hoard the great gift of oil...
while our brothers starve
and die in the streets.
[ Laughs ]
This is no mirage.
My strategy is to follow Nigeria
with simultaneous attacks...
on the American
and British oil infrastructure.
I even have a young American brother
who can operate freely in the U.S.
Together, we can collapse...
the oil-driven economy
ofthe West.
And all you need is money?.
Ifyou support this...
God will acceptyour repentance
foryour many sins.
[ Chuckles ]
Michaels.
You got a date
with the box next week.
I did the test lastyear.
Is it my imagination, or do
Muslim analysts take more heat?.
Oh, suck it up
and charge ahead.
By the way, ifl catch you
maneuvering behind my back...
with your new NSC pals,
you'll have a piss storm to deal with.
Schedule a polygraph
test everyweek.
Hell, I'll just wear the damn machine
around my neck.
This team belongs under
the Agency's purview-- my purview.
I expect reportability.
Rememberwhoyou work for.
Smoke?.
We found a lot ofbetting slips
in your flat,Jeremy.
You seem to be a man whose wagon
is firmly hitched to chance...
rather than to any...
political or religious ideology.
I haven't done anything.
Bets of300, 375 and$500
on football matches.
Bit heavy for someone
on yourwage.
Well, maybe he'sjust found
an additional source ofincome.
I 've been lucky.
You see,
what bothers us,Jeremy...
is that you were away
from your position at the hotel...
for longer than your boss
thought you needed to be...
for just an ordinary fag break.
Personally,
I thinkyou're a bloke...
who's just found a way out
of some horrendous gambling debts.
However...
ifyou're suffering
from some... misguided principle...
of protecting
the people who paid you...
I just need you
to understand one thing.
Theyintendedyou to die...
alongside everyone else.
Oh, they did.
Horribly...
indiscriminately.
You understand what I 'm saying?.
Deaths--
yours, his, mine...
the single mother who died
just shortly after theypushed...
the baby in the pram to safety.
You see, human life means
nothing to these people.
Just so much litter
theyhave to wade through...
to get to wherever
theybelieve they're going.
The thing is,Jeremy...
I really need your hel p, mate.
I needyou to tell me...
who paid you... and how.
Come on.
He came up to me
at my local bookie's.
Black guy. No, um--
Mixed race, but with dreads.
Exchanged money outside.
He said it made it look like
we were just splitting winnings.
So that became the arrangement.
- Name?.
- No, no names. No numbers.
No nothing.
I'll checkwhat CCTV
the bookie has.
We want video from the Met
covering that stretch of road.
Max.
How areya, mate?.
Good to seeyou.
- Love those red-eyes.
- [ Chuckles ]
- So what do you got?.
- Oh, he's just a Joe...
works at the Hamilton Grove Hotel.
Stole a couple ofteapots intended
to be the sarin delivery vessels.
I don't really think
he's one of them.
We got an I.D. on one of the dead.
Chap called Bashara.
I nside Al Qaeda,
he was on the lunatic fringe...
but he had bin Laden's ear.
- From the same Yemenite tribe.
- There's a gene pool.
Yeah. So what's going on?.
This all part ofsomething bigger?.
We're still working on it.
And I'm not here for the Bureau.
I'm on loan to the NSC.
- Really?.
- Only for this sarin business.
I'll showyou the site as soon
as we get clearance from Forensic.
You all right?.
No.
I hate being reactive.
People die and we scramble.
- You're resilient.
- Mm.
Tough as nails, I know.
I just don't want to think
about it for another minute.
Can we leave?.
You're not hungry?.
Mm-mm.
Not for food.
- You're amazing.
- [ Chuckles ] Why?.
'Cause I lose myself
so easilywith you?.
I just don't understand how somebody
so focused and single-minded...
can be so...
responsive.
Luckyyou.
I have a flight to catch
in two hours.
It's a private jet. They're not going
anywhere withoutyou.
Haveyou folks decided?.
We'll take the check.
How pure was the stuff?.
They didn't pull the instructions off
the Internet and mix it in their own bath.
Thirteen dead on a few drops.
Weapons grade stuff.
Small explosive.
It would have
thoroughly dispersed gas...
throughout the entire room
in seconds.
Hundreds dead straightaway.
Even more sick or dying.
Until all this sarin is recovered,
nowhere can be considered safe.
Do the words "needle" and "haystack"
mean anything toyou?.
[ Chattering ]
So when areyou gonna
make it official?.
It's still a complicated
situation with Jane.
I'm feeling
a lot of guilt, Derek...
Iike I'm... wearing
my best friend's shoes...
Iiving out his life.
Stickwith it, mate.
You'll sort it out.
You never had kids,
did you, Derek?.
No, I made a decision
very early on in my career...
that kids and queen and country
were incompatible.
- I was the son of an absentee father myself.
- [ Camera Shutter Clicks ]
So I wouldn't wish that
on any kid.
[ Clicking ]
[Derek]
Bingo. YoungJeremymeeting his contact.
Magnify that.
Police!
Don't move!
[ Groaning ]
Don't move!
Again.
What?.
Traveler's checks.
Lots of them.
Look fake to me.
Forgedpassport...
airline tickets.
It don't look like
our friend Bashara...
was exactly planning to join
the martyrs brigade, does it?.
- Money, some documents.
- Congratulations, Mr.Jennings.
You terminated
our only live resource.
How doyou propose
we access his contacts, hmm?.
Vital information,
now that he's deceased?.
Well, we used Tasers
in order to take him alive.
They're not normallylethal.
He refusedan order
to remain still.
- We assumed he was reaching for a weapon.
- Gloves, please.
So we lost our only direct link to the sarin
because you thought he had a weapon.
- And did he?.
- It turned out to be a camera.
Ifit had been a weapon,
he wouldn't be the only one dead, Ms.--
EmilyTuthill. MI6.
Max Canary.
I'm here on behalf...
ofthe National Security Council
and the FBI.
Do the NSC or FBI bring anything
to our little tea party, Mr. Canary?.
Or areyou here to tell us
how to lay the table, as usual?.
No tea forme, thankyou...
unless it's from Long Island,
and there's ice in it.
Ifwe have anything relevant,
I'm sure we'll share.
You'll forgive me
ifl don't hold my breath.
Excuse me?.
Certainly.
[ Emily]
Excellent eye for composition.
Ah, your dead friend attached
several J PEGs to his e-mail.
Yeah, I know these otherguys.
This one's ourMI5
counterterrorism liaison.
The other two are the Spanish
and Italian counterparts.
We must let them know. It wouldseem
they're targeting the opposition directly.
Their coverts are documenting
our movements.
[ Reading Arabic ]
" Death, shame, and disgrace to the enemies
of Islam and our Muslim brothers."
Well, gentlemen, you top the fatwa charts
from Jakarta to Algiers.
Let's see ifwe can find
where this originates from.
No. So, as the deceased
is a foreign national...
this ball is now officially
in the court of MI6.
Thankyou foryour help,
Mr.Jennings.
Please, call me Derek.
IfI'm not mistaken,
shejust cut offyour balls, Derek.
Just the one, Max.
Just the one.
Youshouldsee this.
What is it?.
Blueprints?. Ofwhat?.
Map ofthe New York subway.
What does MI5 say?
DerekJennings is taking
the threat seriously...
but the investigation
is being directed by MI6.
A woman named Tuthill.
EmilyTuthill.
- And she?.
- Didn't seem too interested in talking to me.
- Raza, who in the Agencytalks to MI6?.
- I can find out.
Look, we're trying something new here.
Screw bureaucracy.
Go directlyfrom analysis to action.
I'll watchyourbacks.
So tell me about the subways.
227 subway stops,
700 miles of track...
make it virtually
impossible to insulate...
the entire New York City
subway system from an attack.
- But all stops are not equal.
- Meaning?.
When you think of New York, you don't think
ofCrown Heights or Forest Hills.
- You think Manhattan.
- And how many subway stops in Manhattan?.
Sixty-five. But we can't rule out
the possibility...
of an attack
in any part ofthe city.
I think they're going to nail
a more populated area.
96th Street to the Battery.
- 30-something subway stops.
- That's the target area.
You hit that part of Manhattan,
the world comes to a stop.

You asked to see me?.
[ Speaking Arabic ]
You're a good man, Raghib,
a righteous man.
You doyour best,
but does it ever feel...
Iike it's emptying a sea
of miserywith a tea cup?.
It was stolen from
anAmerican base.
It's criminal.
We have to steal antibiotics.
Because our country won't provide it
for its own children.
Our people are dying
in body and spirit.
And the Americans
always ready to pounce...
with their self-serving democracy
and predatory economy.
And we are so... beaten down...
that we're prepared to accept
their godless materialism.
That's it.
That's the passion and fire
you had in Afghanistan.
Ah. I'm older now.
I have tempered
my fervorwith piety.
We are both older and wiser. Raghib,
I need men with the courage of conviction.
I'm sureyou already
have men like that.
Boys and thugs.
Followers, not leaders.
You're a physician.
You can travel the world above suspicion.
You speak their language
and can blend in.
Thankyou for the antibiotics...
and I appreciate thatyou value me...
but the truth is,
I'm of no use toyou.
The secret police monitor
meetings I attend.
Here in Cairo.
I'm talking about Nigeria.
Come observe our mission,
tend to ourjihadists.
See foryourself
if ourvisions are incompatible.
Trustyourself.
I sawyou in Afghanistan.
This is in your blood.
Still. Good. One more.
Good. Therewe go.
Readyfor another trip?.
Always.
You leave in a few days.
This won't be training
like the others.
This is your first mission.
- Where?.
- Africa.
- Muhammad looks forward to seeing you.
- She'll run better now.
- My kid take good care ofyou?.
- Yeah.
Kaz, come on.
Get in the picture. Come.
- Ah, it's not my scene, Dad.
- Come on. Come on.
Raffi's got me another dig,
so I'm gonna need to take, uh, fourweeks off.
- What's the price this time?.
- Relax.
This one's free.
Some school in Jordan's paying.
You are not using this to go back
to Chechnya and fight the Russians?.
You know, that's a great idea,
but, no.
- The truth?.
- I swear.
When you are done,
go to the Riviera. Have some fun.
- Okay, boys. Big smile, everyone.
- God bless America.
[Knocking]
Tell me about your interactions
with Ms.Jackson.
No real game plan until we know
the players on the other side.
- We need more from London.
- Not them, the NSC.
You want me to spy
on the NSC?.
That's yourjob. You report back
toyour own agency.
We're in a war, son...
and everyTom, Dick, and Harry
political appointee...
thinks they have
the Holy Grail to fight it.
Now, you don't
turn over the wheel...
to someone who hasn't
been down the road.
We've been down the road.
You understand?.
Yes, sir.
Good.
I'm sorry, Mum, but it's just
something's come up at work...

No. That wouldn't

[Keys Clack]
[ Typing ]

You'll be expected to hand over
all receipts and unexpended cash...
once your operation is complete.
I was the mujahedeen point man for integrating
American weapons into Afghanistan.
I can keep count.
Your operation is in Nigeria...
so is an oil lease auction.
Western oil thieves will be there
to swindle the Nigerians.
What a remarkable coincidence.
You will also be pleased to know that no members
ofthe Saudi royal familywill be there.
So I have the council's blessing to take
advantage ofthis convergence of events?.
I also request thatyour scholars
issue a fatwa...
for two men whose blood
is legitimate for the mujahedeen...
in the pursuance of ourjihad.
Who are these enemies?.
Investigators in America
and the U.K....
where the next phase
of my plan is taking place.
[ Computer Beeps ]
Have a Havana.
Go on. I won't tell.
You said it was urgent,
you couldn't talk on the phone.
- I've got a connection to the London sarin.
- I'm listening.
I hear militant Salafists are bringing it
into Los Angeles across the Mexican border.
You know what they say--
Mexicans look a lot like us.
- Where and when?.
- I don't believe we have agreed on the price.
You haven't told me a thing.
They plan to use it in department stores.
You want more?. 1 0,000, cash.
You don't have dick,
and I'm not in the mood to play.
I got more important things to do.
Go, but when you have dead kids
and women coming upyour ass...
don't come crying to me
about another 9/1 1.
Don't play games with me.
Do not play games!

be together, would we?.
-Jane, this is--
- Would we?.
I would have never
betrayed Tim...
no matter how much
I wanted to.
The night before Tim died, uh...
we had a fight.
I accused him of...
Ioving you more
than he loved me.
- Whywould you even--
- I was--
I was angry, and I was jealous.
Tim loved you.
Not ofyou--
ofTim.
I was jealous--
[ Sighs ]
ofthe time that he got
to spend with you.
[ Whispers ]
Hey.
Hey.
I loveyou.
[ Sighs ]
I loved you since...
forever.
Is that enough?.
Max, your hand.
Been a rough day.
Congratulations.
You wouldn't have had anything
to do with it, would you?.
How doyou mean?.
Did you talk to the director
on my behalf?.
The director and I talk about
lots ofthings.
Bureaucracies are like
aircraft carriers, Maren.
Big, powerful, slow to turn.
- The director knows this.
- I don't know.
Was it like this when you were
running state?.
Oh, bureaucratic waters
have always been treacherous.
The culture has changed.
Keepyour eye
on the ball, Maren.
Don't let the politics,
the in-fighting, distractyou.
The stakes are high.
I always feel better
after seeing you.
How did I get so lucky?.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
I had me eye on you at West Point.
Why?.
Well, you're from West Texas.
[ Chuckles ]
And I thought characterwas fate.
Now I learn
it's a matter of geography?.
You have something
to prove, Maren.
It's never good enough
to be good enough.
But when ambition
is tempered by conscience...
and a sense of responsibility...
it makes a person
unwilling not to try.
Trywhat?.
To be great.
It'd be nice ifhappiness figured
into that equation.
Mm.
The thing about happiness...
it's always a by-product,
never the end result.
Yeah, well, the money trail
tracks back to Switzerland.
We uncovered a wire transfer...
that Bashara
had received from Zurich.
The SSB is being
pretty uncooperative at the moment...
but we do know
thatArab NGOs...
have used this particularbranch
forprevious disbursements.
Swiss Securities Bank?.
My cousin's the director of I nvestment
Banking Latin America at SSB.
- I could make a discreet inquiry.
- Do it.
Why haven't you responded
to the subway threats?.
Well, I'm doing
what I can, believe me.
I've got our transport
police on full alert...
but MI6 is being obstructive...
about any, shall we say,
further useful action?.
- I have to agree with MI6.
- You do?.
London sarin was directed at Muslim
and Jewish leaders.
Targeting civilians in subways
is a new M.O. I don't buy it.
And the subway plans?. Would that be
for a new terrorist board game?.
What the hell is MI6 thinking
then, Derek?.
For the answer to that question,
you'll have to ask EmilyTuthill.
Well, I'm gonna go to London
and dojust that, face to face.
You go toZurich.
Follow the moneytrail.
[ Arabic]
[Knocking]
[Man]
Akil!
[Knocking Continues ]
Why aren't you at work?.
- Overslept.
- Your probation officer...
has told you about the importance
of punctuality with yourjob, Akil.
Yeah, I know, Hamid.
And you're not him...
soyou don't have
to behave like him.
- You want to go back to prison?.
- Of course not.
Well, come on. Hurry up.
I'll dropyou off.
And ifyou stop
giving me the evil eye...
I might even buyyou
a breakfast roll along the way.
I toldyou Menno hadbeen
compromised,yet we sent him in.
- I know this is difficult foryou--
- No, you don't know.
He trusted me. And I don't care
to hear another lecture...
about maintaining professional distance
from sources.
Stiff upper lip and all that.
He knewyou wouldn't ask him
to risk his life ifitwasn't important.
He knewwhat hewas doing, Emily.
And so did you.
I promised Menno
I'd take care ofhis family.
I want them to receive
some money. Real money.
Now that can be arranged.
Menno's assassination indicates
their cell has transparency.
- He must've got close.
- [Knocking]
Ifthat's what
we're being led to believe.
Another diversion, another futile step
in this endless dance.
You haven't earned that cynicism, Emily.
I suggestyou keep it toyourself.
Now that the sarin threat
is extended to New York...
expect the Americans
to be very much at hand.
- They'll be a distraction.
- The Americans aren't without their sources.
And resources.
You will be a team player.
The lone wolfshall
join the pack then?.
Emily, despite
your impeccable record...
there are those who thinkwe would
be well rid ofyour services.
I can't protectyou forever,
so tread lightly.
So, brother,
ready to go in the morning?.
I can't wait to get out ofhere.
This is a no-playcamp, Akil.
Fedayeen who fought
in Afghanistan and Chechnya.
We need English-speaking brothers.
Why are we on earth
if not to fight the domination...
and suppression of our people
through jihad?.
Damn well know I wasn't put here to clean
toilets and take crap from white knobs.
And when those who disbelieve...
plot againstyou, to
wound you, to kill you, they plot.
But God also plots...
and God is the best
of all plotters.
[Man ]
Come on. Let's go.
- Bye, Nili.
- Bye, guys.
Hey.
Are you deliberately trying
to screw me up?.
Blowing off
at agency security?.
And how are you
this fine morning, my brother?.
Oh, let me guess. It's about
my latest encounterwith the goon squad.
I told them to go
screw themselves. Again.
They've just got a job to do.
But ifyou cut loose like a wild woman,
it's gonna come down on you too.
Don'tyou get it?. You have to start
protecting yourself.
No, you don't get it, Raza.
This country doesn't trust our people.
This country doesn't trust you.
And that's whyyou told them
to go screw themselves?.
What do you think the C.IA.'s up to when
they raid my rights of privacy... again?.
Do I smoke pot?. Yes.
Does your brother?. No.
Are you a radical?. Yes.
Is he?. He has no politics.
What about your sexual preference?.
None ofyour business!
What about his?.
He has none...
because he is a fine,
upstanding Muslim man.
Your Islam's an anachronism.
Not this again.
You know what?.
You arejust as bigoted
as they are.
This isn't even about me!
This is aboutyou and your almighty career!
Calm down.
Ifyou rant like a radical...
they'll begin to treatyou like one.
And then you'll have
no privacy at all.
Whyis MI6 notpreparing fora terrorist attack
againstyoursubways?
Ah, this is what you call
"cutting to the chase"?.
Well, we're a small country
with limited resources, Ms.Jackson.
We simply haven't the manpowerto deal
with every unsubstantiated threat.
DerekJennings seems to think
the threat is substantiated.
DerekJennings is 5.
The sarin attack
happened here in London...
but it killed people
from 4 different countries...
which makes it 6's business.
And I promiseyou the NSC
has no authority in the U.K.
Until we develop
information to the contrary...
the sarin attack begins
and ends with Bashara.
Unless, of course,
you've brought information...
in your carry-on that...
we don't haveyet.
I can tell you that one of my team members,
Raza Michaels, is in Switzerland...
tracking the money trail
that DerekJennings unearthed.
He has an inside source
to the Swiss Securities Bank.
- Really?. Swiss bankers can be difficult.
- Well, this one...
- Omar Massif, is Raza's cousin.
- I see.
And, uh, is that all you have?.
Look, I came here because
we need to form a partnership.
I'm here to personally
ask foryour support.
An appeal for transatlantic cooperation.
An alliance between equals?.
Exactly.
You see, the trouble is,
wheneverwe Brits...
enter into an alliance with you Yanks,
we invariably end up...
holding a very large bag of... poop.
I'm aware that things have been fractious
between our agencies post-Iraq.
Post- and pre-Iraq.
Your boss's cowboy tactics
didn't turn up much...
on Saddam's
weapons of mass destruction...
so as the service with a deeper
understanding ofthe region...
we were enlisted to find
what wasn't there...
and take the blame
for not finding it.
We made mistakes.
But the relationship I'm proposing...
is meant to prevent
these kinds of problems.
So I'm to become
a player on your team.
You know, this condescending
attitude is very destructive.
You've neither the experience nor the authority
to lecture me, Ms.Jackson.
Nor the endurance.
Excellent. Then I suggest
we've finished.
You know,
we share the same interests...
the same threats.
Whetheryou like it or not,
we need each other.
[Man Laughing]
But why didn'tyou call?.
I would have metyou at the airport.
How is your mother?.
How is Nili?.
Nili told Mother she's using ecstasy
to try to get a rise out ofher.
- What did your mother say?.
- She said that's the beauty
ofliving in a free country...
- but that she's sticking with Chanel Number 5.
- [ Laughing ]
Ah, where are my manners?.
Coffee?.
Coffee.
It's real Arab brew,
not European camel piss.
Cousin, haveyou ever
seen a camel?.
I have admired them from afar...
in races...
but the beast
implies a lifestyle...
I'm not well suited for.
So, what brings you to Zurich?.
Actually, the purpose
of myvisit is you.
- Me?.
- [DoorOpens ]
You're aware ofthe recent
sarin attack in London.
Money to the cell
was wired from this branch.
The accounts here were closed
immediatelyafterthe attack.
We need to know who opened them
and how they were funded.
What you are asking,
it's... impossible.
Network and account access
is tightly controlled.
Cousin, I wouldn't come here
and impose on you like this...
if it wasn't of
the greatest importance.
Even ifl could
giveyou whatyou want...
and I can't, this is a dangerous game
you are playing.
- This is not a game.
- Let me giveyou a hardlesson,young cousin.
It is a game.
And this bank, this industry,
this entire country...
exists because ofthe game.
And we are the scorekeepers.
But we only give out
the score to those who play.
Ourhistorywith this game...
precedes your agency
by a few centuries.
So, please, you must
respect my position in this matter.
I'm sorryyou feel
that way, cousin.
But I really need that
information before I leave.
Let me takeyou out...
for a nightyou will not forget.
Diversions we could not share
when you were a younger man.
Another time.
[Klaxon Sounding In Distance ]
?? [Piano, Softly]
You wouldn't by any chance
have a light?.
- Would you like a cigarette?.
- I don't smoke.
- Thankyou.
- Intriguing.
You don't drink.
You don't smoke. What doyou do?.
Ifit's a question of money,
I'm quite able to pay.
Areyou serious?.
- [ Chuckles ]
- [ Chuckles ]
No. I'm sorry.
I can't help myself.
Especiallywith an Agency man.
"E" is for Emily.
Raza Michaels.
But I thinkyou already know that.
[ Sighs ]
Is this because ofthe nosejob
I didon mysource?
Davi's a scumbag,
and I didn't give him anything...
he didn't have coming.
The Bureau wants me
to replace you.
Come on, Maren.
What is this?.
We got assholes
running around with sarin...
and I gotta do
this bureaucratic dance...
because Islappedaround
some lowlife piece ofcrap?
You broke his nose.
Yeah, well, he's got a big nose.
What happened to "watch my back"?.
How are things at home, Max?.
Things are hunky-dory, Maren.
How's things home with you?.
It is not a vendetta.
You can't take this personally.
No offense. I appreciate the earnest,
highly-informed perspective...
you and your people
bring to the table.
I do. But you're wrong.
This is personal.
It's verypersonal.
When some thug says
he wants to kill me...
kill the people I love...
maybe it's a hyperbole,
maybe it's just talk...
but afterwhat went down
on 9/1 1...
I give him the benefit ofthe doubt.
Don't lose it again, Max.
There are no more next times.
Did you have any luck
with cousin Omar?.
Cousin Omar?.
I had breakfast this morning...
with your boss
Maren Jackson in London.
- She toldme.
- Then you understand I really
have to speakwith her first.
Well, naturally,
but allow me to presume?.
Cousin Omar doesn't have access...
to the information you requested,
and ifhe had, he wouldn't tell you.
So he may have to be leaned on.
- The accounts are restricted.
- Leaned on, um, personally.
- Omarwouldn't lie to me.
- No.
No, of course not.
But ifhe's been less than forthcoming...
we should make sureyou're better
prepared foryour next encounter.
Oh.
Can't be easy being an American Muslim
working for the CIA.
Easy?.
No.
But I'm a better Muslim
and a better American for it.
I have to think about
who I am...
and what I believe.
Most people take
those things for granted.
What doyou believe?.
Big picture?.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
I believe that the battle
is between globalists...
and remnants
ofthird-world tribes...
resisting the push
into the 21 st century.
Oil-- that's what
the battle's about.
That's what the tribes have,
what we need.
What the terrorists want
to stop us from having.
The first time I was recruited
to a camp, I was 1 5.
My dad thought
I was on a school trip.
Didn't speakArabic.
Never shot a gun before.
I was basically scared
and felt powerless.
But a few ofthe older Chechen brothers,
they looked out for me.
They helped make me
a Muslim and a man...
more than my dad ever did.
So don't worry.
We'll look out for each other.
I'll look out foryou, man,
all right?.
Just wait till you get to shoot, man.
It's a blast.
- Kaz.
- [ Arabic ]
Salaam alaikum.
How areyou, brother?.
Who's the blond boy?.
Kaz. My golden boy.
A Chechen kid brought up in the U.S.
An American citizen.
He's been to the camps before,
but he was too young to deploy.
The Americans
don't know about him?.
He has protected him for us.
It is good to have you by my side.
Kaz.
Salaam. You are a man now.
- Your Arabic has improved.
- I've been studying. Waiting.
The studying never stops.
The waiting... is over.
We are not here to train.
We are here
to execute a mission.
- We are here to fight!
- [ Cheering ]
Ifyou're notprepared
to kill, and die...
then I respectyour choice.
But step forward now,
before ourplans are revealed...
and you wi I l go
with my blessi ng.
You... will be on
the next truck out of here.
Who else?.
Hmm?.
You belong, brother.
Trust me.
[Muhammad]
Tomorrow we start.
[ Honking ]
- [ Banging ]
- Piss stop. This is it till Lagos.
No!
What have you done?.
Why did you do that?.
He would have gone home to his family
and told them everything.
You didn't have to kill him.
Howlong doyou think he would
have lasted under Yemeni torture?
How long before he told them
about us...
before the American bombs
were dropping on us?
I t had to be done.
Come on.
Let's bury him
before the vultures take him.
[ Gasps ]
Who are you?.
You don't know?.
I am a widow.
Does that help?.
Ilsa, of course.
I'm so sorry--
I received your money.
That is not why I came.
This...
came in the mail.
Menno sent it to himself.
Oh. This is helpful.
Thankyou.
You murdered him.
I wish I could afford to throw
your blood money in yourface.
[Telephone Ringing]
-Jackson.
- EmilyTuthill.
Well, so it's true what
they say-- MI6 never sleeps.
I've just received information
that may require a change ofthinking.
I'm listening.
Bashara, the executor
ofthe London sarin attack...
had no known ties to any existing terrorist
network, but my new intelligence suggests...
we should be looking for another,
more serious actor on the scene.
- Who is he?.
- We've credible documentation...
that 2 ofthe most murderous
Kazakh Islamists...
have been recruited
for a mission in Nigeria.
It's being organized by a man
calling himself Muhammad.
There's a notation
by his name--
- [ Speaking Arabic]
- "Oil for blood."
I'm directing MI6 to further downplay
the sarin threat and focus on Nigeria.
Nigeria?.
Lagos. There's an oil
lease auction in 2 days.
That and the surrounding events
might present a propitious target.
It's interesting. I'll need
substantiation, sat photos, SIGI NT...
ifI'm gonna take this
down the hall.
- Understood.
- Yemen's arrested an associate of Bashara.
He's talking.
I'm going over there. Thankyou, Emily.
See these vehicles
and this garbage?.
This is supposed to be
a school.
But all I see are adults,
no kids.
You tell me what's going on.
Get it over to
the NSC right away.
[Man ]
Iam a graduate ofthe Citadel.
- And Fort Benning.
- Congrats.
So, do you have the tapes
of the prisoner's interrogation?.
Transcript only,
I am afraid.
But he freely admits to trading heroin
to the Russian official for the sarin gas.
And he freely admits
to doing it for Bashara?.
Of course. It was not a problem.
Ask him anything you want.
I will translate.
Tell him I'm from
the U.S. government.
[ Colonel Translating ]
Help me.
He speaks English?.
Will you leave us, please?.
Ah, it is not possible.
Ifyour relationship
with the U.S. military...
means anything foryour career,
you'll leave right now.
You speak to me truthfully
and I'll getyou out ofhere.
- You acquired sarin for Bashara?.
- Yes.
What other plans did he have
besides London?.
I know about the subways.
You will take me to America?.
Yes.
There's a small handheld computer...
in my apartment.
The detainee claims thatsarin has already
been smuggled into New York City.
A New York telephone number
was found on the PDA in his apartment.
- I passed it on to Max.
- Anythi ng on MI 6's N igerian i ntel?.
No. He knew nothing about it.
Unless NSA orphotos pick something up,
why add to the threat overload?
Nigeria-- it's just more static.
For now I recommend
we back-burner it.
- How'd you get all this?.
- The informant had been worked over by locals.
I promised him amnesty in the U.S.
You all right then?.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
All I'veseen isyou murder
an innocent boy.
Is that what I was brought here
to witness for myself?.
Patience, Doctor.
I look at your men.
They are not true Muslims.
Few pray regularly, if at all.
How can you wage war
with these people in Allah's name?.
Now let us see ifthe FBI
follow ourYemen bell like good sheep.
[Woman ]
I've got it. It's a disconnectedcell number.
- Where from?.
- The cellphone provider
billed an address in Red Hook.
- What is it?.
- Warehouse.
I talked to the landlord.
He's gonna fax us a tenant list.
- He remembers some Arabs.
- Put together a team-- Haz Mat, NYPD.
[ Beeping ]
Building is clean.
You're all clear.
Damn.
[Gunshot]
Sir! Sir!
I'm okay. I'm okay.
[Helicopter Whirring]
It was a trap.
A setup. Damn it!
- [Maren ] Max, areyou all right?
- I'm pissed.
The shooter I.D.'d me
from a photo taken in London...
by the same guy who had
the subway blueprint.
Which ties him
to the sarin attack.
It means there's
an active cell in place.
Here, in New York, now.
Mark, we have got to act on this.
Areyou certain?.
Yes.
All right. I'm taking it
to the Oval Office.
[Sirens Wailing]
Max is fine. Somebody took
a shot at him, but he had his vest on.
- He's okay.
- What?. Where is he?.
He's at the office.Jane, I'm gonna leave
a few men here just as a precaution.
We think Max might be
the target of a terrorist.
- What?.
- [Telephone Ringing]
- Oh, my God. Eddie.
- We've got somebodywith Eddie. He's fine.
- Max?.
- I don't know how to tell you this.
I'm gonna need a new vest.
Really pisses me off
losing that vest.
Yeah, it was a good vest.
The best.
Some ofthe boys
are gonna hang around...
for a little bit, make sure
you and Eddie are okay.
- Okay?.
- Okay.
- Max.
- Yeah.
- Please get them.
- Yeah.
I know you've been trying
to get ahold of me. I'm sorry, baby.
- I've been jammed.
- There was a tip on a move
against oil interest in Nigeria.
So far it's just
an unconfirmed rumor.
Everything's fine here.
Just watch yourself, okay?.
Not to worry. I always do.
I'm about to meet
with the grand poo-bah himself.
- Buy some glasses, sir.
- No. Thankyou.
- Oh, good going.
- I miss you already, baby.
Yeah.
Akil?.
[ Speaking Arabic On Tape ]
Can you speak up?.
I thought perhaps
you should know.
- Know what?.
- My brother.
And what about your brother?.
I think he might be
associating with people...
involved in terrorism of some kind.
- What's your name?.
- His name is Akil--
No. What's your name?.
Please, forget I was here.
[ Buzzer Sounding ]
Wait! Please.
I gave this to my brother
when he came of age.
A good-luck charm
to keep away evil spirits.
He never hung it up...
so they slipped in
without a struggle.
I realize how difficult
this must be...
to tell us all about this.
I thinkyou're being
very responsible and very brave.
I did it for my
brother's sake, notyours.
Have a look at this, sir.
"Lesson 1 4:. Using poisons
and cold steel."
"Lesson 1 6:. Planting explosives
for chemical dispersion."
Whatever happened to 5-a-side football
and a pint in the pub afterward?.
We're now getting live pictures...
ofthe complete evacuation
ofthe New York City subway system.
What are they doing?.
Now is not the time.
Well, MI5 is trumpeting
the discovery...
ofthe poison gas training manual...
to pressure for similar action
to be taken here on our underground.
I believewe're being manipulated
to focus on thewrong part oftheworld.
Let the Yanks dowhat they must.
We should wait.
And what ifyou'rewrong?.
Keepyour eye
on your British friend.
Ifhe performs, he could be useful
to our future plans.
Don't worry.
I've got his back.
Max.
Max, NYPD looked everywhere
for the shooter. Nothing.
And they're pulling out ofthe subway.
That turned up cold too.
It was never the target.
What?.
Theywanted us to think
theywere going after the subways.
Why?.
Everything indicated
theywere going to hit the subways.
You read it wrong.
Go home.
Get some sleep.
It's over.

Excuse me. Rolf!.
I hear your shop's about to be

J ust a rumor. You know BWP covets

- Could I have 3 more beers, please?.
- Right away, sir.
- American?.
- Yeah, man.
- A touch ofhome from far away.
- It's the Michigan Wolverines in the Holiday Bowl.
- Doesn't get any more American than that.
- Hereyou are.
Say, get myyoung friend here another beer.
And put it on my tab.
- Thanks, man.
- Have a good time.
All right.
Hey, you.
Don't forget your bag.
I got it.
You're too good for this place.

The New York subway is
open again this evening...
after being closed down
most of the day...
following what officials call...
a credible threat ofa sarin attack.
Your analysis was correct.
Last week, 19 people
were killed--
Multiple bombings in Lagos.
Dozens dead and wounded.
We were wrong.
I was wrong.
