The Grid (2004): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
[ Gasps ]
Let me go!
- How's little man?.
- He's got a cold.
The kids at school pass around
the same virus like it was a volleyball.
- He's even given it to his FBI shadow.
- Which one?.
The cute one who keeps
making passes at me.
You're gonna have
to live with them for a while.
I'm on a plane for somewhere
in Michigan tonight. We got a tip.
Well, when you get there,
wherever "there" is, you call.
Every day.
Sandman. He literally
pinned me to the wall...
called me "a recreant
son of a bitch."
The words "backstabbing"
and "gutless" were mentioned.
I said, "You'll have to terminate me,
because I'm not gonna quit."
Sandman said, "Screw that.
I'll cycleyou down to the war college. "
-Doing what?.
-Teaching soldiers about
the storied history of the company.
To hell with him.
I'll take you over.
- You can do that?.
- I'll just have Catherine memo the director.
And, Raza, I'd like the Agency
background on Hud Benoit.
What?. I'm not interested in finding out
ifhe liked to play dress up...
or ifhe had
a girlfriend on the side.
- I needto knowthe extent ofhis activities.
- I can take care of it.
You better get going before Acton
takes awayyour parking spot.
- Okay, boss.
- [ Chuckles ]
Wish I could take him
back to MI 6 with me.
You know, he has the makings
of a fine field agent.
That's more information
than I need.
Faciallacerations, bodyblows...
probably inflicted with a club.
Some internal bleeding,
but we have that under control.
All the earmarks
of our Mukhabarat friends.
She'll need to stayhere
fora couple ofdays.
After that, she can go to
my sister and brother-in-law's.
- The judge?.
- Yes.
Theywon't dare come into his place.
She's in there.
I'll seeyou later.
Thankyou for everything
thatyou've done for us.
[ Sobs ]
[ Arabic ]
Don't use what happened to me...
as a reason to get in deeper
with these jihadists, Raghib.
Don't confuse revenge
for righteousness.
I'm about to leave Egypt.
I can make arrangements
foryou to leave...
as soon as you have
recovered sufficiently.
Once under suspicion...
the secret police
will never leave you alone.
Don't give your life to these people.
"Whoever kills a human...
"unless it be in
punishment for murder...
it shall be as though
he had slain all mankind."
"Whereas ifhe saves a life...
it shall be as though he has saved
the lives ofall mankind."
This is why I became a doctor.
The most sacred jihad is the one
that we embrace in our soul.
Purifying yourself
is not an acceptable pretext...
to go off and kill people.
Now...
I have taken all
the money I could get together.
You can use this cell phone
to call me safely...
anywhere in the world
should you need my help.
I do not want the kind
ofhelpyou offer me.
Reem, you must...
reconsider my advice to leave.
[ Beeping ]
Getyourselfa shovel
anddig a hole.
You're dead here.
[ Speaking Chinese ]
I've got a big favor to ask.
It's gotta be between us.
This is not a secure phone.
Nothing classified.
I need to know about North China Pipeline
and a few other companies...
and how a certain American
obtained a stake in them.
- I'm sorry the secret police got toyour sister.
- She still won't leave Cairo.
We haveyou on a flight
to Toronto tomorrow.
You will be carrying operational plans
and cash for Kaz Moore.
Plans forwhat?.
Inside are maps
ofthe Great Lakes.
They are the main shipping channels
supplying the American heartland.
Large ships carrying
oil and petrochemicals...
to inland refineries
and chemical plants.
After meeting Kaz,
your next stop is London.
I'll wantyou to supervise
the mission there.
What's the target in London?.
When you need to know.
[Whistle Blows ]
[ Groans ]
[Whistle Blowing]
Shane?.
Kaz?. Is that you, man?.
- How you doin', man?.
- [Whistle Blows ]
So I got my big block El Camino.
I'm gonna do all
the work myselftoo.
I don't wanna getJewed out
by some jig, right?.
Amen to that, brother.
Check that out.
You want to meet 'em?.
Don't stare.
So, listen, you still the guywho knows
most about guns and hunting?.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Why?.
What doyou need to know?.
I got somethin' in the works
with my militia buddies.
Come on.
Let's go meet the chicks.
Howyou ladies doin'?.
[Girls ]
We're okay.
Nice job cuttin' me
off at the knees.
I'm not looking for a fight.
No, no. That's a compliment
from an old Beltwaywarrior.
One soldier to another.
What doyou want, Acton?.
I want to make peace.
- [ Chuckles ]
- We're like one ofthose...
battlin' Irish families
fightin' amongst ourselves...
but let one poor stranger
come in and pick a fight with one of us...
the whole tribe kicks
their raggedy ass.
Just one big happy
dysfunctional family.
You're feelin'
a little froggy right now.
Sooner or later, you're gonna
come along and you're gonna...
knock on my door.
Fat chance.
So this is really
how field agents work?.
So this is really
how field agents work?.
The wholeJames Bond bit?.
Your assignment, ifyou choose
to accept it, Mr. Michaels...
is to use that boyish charm...
to uncover hot gossip and illegal
transactions in the world ofGulf oil.
SomethingJulaidin
might have been involved with.
Here.
Don't mention him by name.
Let them talk.
Edge the conversation towards
the puritans in the Saudi royal family.
Let it come toyou...
Iike the girls did at Princeton.
- They thought I was a nerd.
- Their loss.
- I thought we had dispensed with all that.
- No, you did.
I still cling to the slippery,
wet rocks ofhope.
??[Dance ]
[ No Audible Dialogue]
??[SlowJazz]
There's some gossip thatJulaidin
had competing oil executives assassinated.
It might be something, but...
how dowe know ifthese sources
aren't fabricating?.
Well, the oil ministers
are close to the royal family.
Ifthey're talking,
it's more than likely...
there's some fire to
go along with the smoke.
You don't have to know the whole truth
for this to be useful, Raza.
- So, what's eating you?.
- Want to take a guess?
No, I don't want to take a guess.
I want to know.
- We have a relationship. We share intimacies.
- We have sex, Hud...
and I won't deny that I love it...
thatyou make me feel alive,
or that I care foryou-- I do.
But cutting backdoor deals to sell oil
to North Korea?.
What wereyou thinking?.
We know about
your stock payoffs...
from Chinese oil companies
doing business with North Korea.
We're gonna be selling oil to Kim Jong Il
the second this nuke business is settled.
Someone's gotta open the door.
That's what I do.
- I open doors.
- Whatyou're doing is a federal crime.
- Please, Maren.
- I could have Hudson Benoit Consulting...
put on the U.N. Sanction List,
putting you out ofbusiness.
Okay, look, Maren,
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to compromiseyou.
I'm crazy aboutyou.
One word from me and the CIA file
on your activities will be atJustice.
Please, Maren. Ifthere's anything
I can do to helpyou.
Help me?
There's got to be some otherway
for me to prove toyou...
thatyou are more important to me
than this political, business crap.
- There is anotherway.
- All right.
- You want to prove just how much you care?.
- Yes, I do.
Will you go covert for us?.
Who areyou after?.
Who do you want?.
The Koreans?.
The Saudis.
[Prisoners Shouting]
[Man ]
Here comes one toyour cell!
A very close colleague ofmine
died because ofyour actions...
and those actions have
brought you here now.
So why don't we try talking
for a change, see where that gets us?.
Talking's good.
Will it get
my sentence shortened?.
[ Chuckles ]
I'll tell you somethin'.
You're not really
in a position to haggle...
and I'm in no mood to, certainly.
I'm only even remotely prepared
to helpyou and Hamid...
once I've assessed the value
ofwhateveryou're gonna tell me.
Hamid had nothing
to dowith this. Nothing.
He's a religious man.
He's always at the mosque.
Thereyou are. You see?.
Yeah, I believe that.
See?. Talking's doing
some good already.
So why don't we try
a bit more?.
Let's tryyou telling me...
the names and contact protocols...
of everyone involved
in your operation here.
Let me just say,
you try and mislead me...
and I'll make sure that
whatever's gonna happen toyou...
happens toyou twice as hard.
We only know first names.
- The big boss is called Muhammad.
- Muhammad?[ Chuckles ]
That doesn't exactly
narrow it down much, does it?.
The leader of
the U.K. operation is Masir.
Go on.
And the one who recruited me
is a guy called Kahil.
Masir. Where's he based?.
London.
He's always boastin' about how well
he does in the casinos around Hyde Park.
Ifl was to sityou down
with a police artist...
could you describe
Kahil and Masir?.
Very good.
You've seen Akil?.
Yeah. He's fine.
We're a religious family,
Mr.Jennings.
Akil... strayed.
Listen.
Ifl do manage to getyou
a few moments with him...
I think the best thing
you can do for Akil now...
is encourage him
to cooperate fully.
I wish you had spoken to me
about all this first.
I thought it was gonna be like
the Muslim foreign legion.
For a couple ofweeks,
I felt like I was--
I don't know-- like I was important
or somethin'.
But when I got there...
I mean, I was scared, man.
Those guys-- Those guys don't care
what gets in theirway.
You know,
some ofthe stuffl saw--
My brother,
let us pray together.
I don't think I can.
Try.Just try.
Allah is everywhere, even here.
[ Arabic ]
Mmm. Good.
- Hey, use your fork, sweetie.
- It's too hard.
- Who's your favorite basketball player, little man?.
- Larry Bird.
You know how Larry Bird
learned to sink a fallawayjumper?.
- How?.
- Twirling spaghetti with his fork.
- Max.
- I'm serious. Ever see his wrists?.
- They're like 2-by-4's.
- From twirling spaghetti?.
Absolutely.
See, the wrist action...
is the same as turning
overyour top hand like this.
- Swish.
- Very nice.
Wow. Look at this.
Look at this guy. He's a natural.
Come on.
Eat your "pasghetti."
It's not "pasghetti," Daddy.
It's spaghetti.
You're right. Yeah.
Pasghetti, spaghetti.
[ Continues, Indistinct ]
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Man SpeakingArabic ]
Thanks for seeing me
on such short notice.
Sheik Al Saud has always spoken
very highly ofyou.
Well, that's good to hear.
I can offeryou coffee,
ifyou like.
- No alcohol, naturally.
- Naturally.
Is it safe to speak frankly here?.
Very safe.
[Hudson ]
Good. Asyou know, I barelysurvived Lagos.
[Julaidin Over Radio ]
A terrible catastrophe for us all.
[Hudson ]
The man responsible calls himselfMuhammad.
I'd kill him with my own hands...
but I hear he has backers
among certain oil interests here.
You're working under
2 false assumptions.
One-- that I know
this Muhammad...
- and 2-- that I would ever tell you.
- Here we go.
You will tell me, orl willleak
the storyofyourinvolvement...
You will tell me, or I will leak
the story ofyour involvement...
in the '99 Qatar terrorist bombing
which killed 3 foreign oil brokers.
Lies. Nothing but lies.
There was a man who used to work for me.
He got himselfinto some trouble.
- He's winging it.
- Prison trouble.
- I helped him out ofit.
- Hud's got talent.
He gave me names, places,
and dates.
Those 3 men were actuallykilled
because theysuspected...
you were diverting millions
in oil revenues to the jihadists.
- Now he's showing off.
- Now, who is Muhammad?
I want the real identity ofMuhammad
and where he can be found.
- [ Crash ]
- What the hell---
- [ Radio Beeping]
- What's going on over there?.
Somebody, talk to me!
- Get someone over there!
- [ Siren Wailing ]
Not here.
There's no one here.
Not a soul.
What have I done?.
Whywon't they let me speak
to my solicitor?.
- Shut up, Kahil.
- It is my right!
You know what I find
really funny?.
Is people likeyou who really don't
care about other people's rights...
start bleating on about their own
as soon as they get caught.
In here, you don't
have any rights...
unless I give 'em you...
and I'm givin' you nothin'
until you start talkin'.
I knew he was dangerous.
I liked that he was dangerous.
The irony is there was no risk.
No personal risk.
I mean, he touched me,
but he could never...
touch me, you know?.
Or so I thought.
Doyou love him?.
I don't know ifI'm capable
ofthat kind oflove.
Which kind would that be?.
The "I can't live
with withoutyou.
I wanna be with you
forever" kind.
Okay.
- But ifl got him killed because I--
- He's of no use to them dead.
I gotta get him out,Jay.
Let the Saudis know thatyou wish
to protect the reputation ofthe kingdom...
but it will be impossible
without Hud's safe return.
One-- I want the immediate release
ofHudson Benoit.
Two-- I'm requesting access to your citizen
Allal Julaidin. We assume you have them both.
- This is an internal matter.
- I'll be blunt.
We know thatJulaidin
acted unofficially...
on behalf of certain
prominent Saudis...
to broker operating capital
to Al Qaeda...
the London sarin cell,
and others.
It brings into question the true intentions
ofthe Saudi government...
and the royal familywhen
it comes to combating terrorism.
The kingdom vigorously
pursues terrorists...
and their financial supporters.
Good.
- Hello.
- I guess you already know the drill.
Makeyourself at home.
My books are open.
You can check the computers.
Believe me, since 9/1 1, I've been
the most examined business in Dearborn.
- You're from--
- Iraq, initially.
I left there in the '80s.
Political differences with the Baathists.
I studied hotel management
in Beirut.
We have reason to believe
that sleeper cells...
were initiated in Beirut
durin' the timeyou spent there.
They may be connected
to the attacks in Lagos and London.
I'm not sleeping,
and I'm not hiding...
and ifl found out that
I have made arrangements...
for anyone involved
even remotelywith terrorism...
I would call you
beforeyou would call me.
Who handles the overseas
part ofthe operation?.
Reputable universities.
I'll give you their names
and a roster of my student clients.
You can talk to them directly.
The dig was pretty cool.
The food wasn't so great...
but camping in
the desert was amazing.
It was the best experience
of my life.
The best part were the boys.
Theywere pretty cool.
So manywalks oflife.
I've got a picture.
That's me, Danny,Jasmine...
Stan, and Kaz.
He's cute.
Got sick and left early. Too bad.
There's no Kaz on the roster
that the travel company provided.
- Could be a nickname.
- So the kid got sick. They refunded him.
- Took him offthe books.
- Or maybe it was a cover...
to get this Kaz out ofthe country
to one oftheir training camps.
Find out who the hell he is
and ifhe's the only one who got sick.
Let's get a tap ordered for the travel company,
the one that booked the tour.
Now, I know this guy. Right?.
He can take any semiautomatic...
and turn it
into a fully automatic weapon.
Oh,yeah, andall'syou have to do...
is you just buy
the trigger assembly kit, right?.
Andhe fixes it all up.
The gun's a go-go foryou.
- What about waiting periods?.
- No. There's none of that bull around here.
This is just some guys
sellin' to guys.
It's too bad we can't get
any fully automatics right now.
Look, there's always a guy
with some fullyauto.
- Well, I have the money.
- You betterlet me do the talkin'.
Because ifyou pick the wrong guy,
we'll get busted by the ATF.
- All right. You do the talkin'too.
- Yeah. Good.
These are my peeps, man.
[ Man ]
Hello?.
I need work done in Zurich.
- ?? [Dance ]
- There's an O'Neill playing at the Kennedy Center.
- Yeah?.
- Seeing as you're a guest in my town...
I thought I should provide
some entertainment.
- [ Cell Phone Ringing]
- Is this a date?.
Yes.
I'd love to.
Great. Hello?.
What?.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Tell me.
My cousin Omar...
was murdered.
Oh, Raza.
Here.
Because of me.
[ People Chattering ]
?? [Jazz]
[Man ]
Makeyourbets. All bets down.
Makeyourbets please.
[ Agent ]
Let me see 1 1.
[ Tapping On Computer Keyboard]
Go to number 8.
Stop. Rewind.
Freeze.
Hello, Mr. Masir.
Place your bets.
Make your bets. All bets down.
[ Groani ng ]
Question everybody.
I real ly want this man alive.
This is what happens when you climb
into bed with murderers...
playingspyboy, thinking
you can change the world.
- I--
- No, don't.
You don't exist, just like Omar.
Will you please listen to me?.
You don't think I'm mourning?.
You don't think
I'm tearing up inside?.
No one deserves to die.
Look, Omarwas no saint.
He was in the game
as deep as me.
You rememberwhat
Father used to say?.
How we were destined
to live in 2 worlds?.
And we'd never find a home
until we came to peace with it.
I have made peace
with myself, Nili.
So, I imagineyou want to know
all about the mission.
It's called
the AdventurerofChicago.
A liquid container ship.
They'll be carrying toxic chemicals
in stacked tanks.
How do I blow it up?.
Using magnetic dynamite
charges known as limpets.
6 limpets, 6 tanks.
I was only told to get
automatic weapons.
Don't worry.
We already have these explosives.
Your problem will be getting them past
the customs at the American border.
I'll hide them in the car.
And I have a plan
to get through customs.
What I don't have covered
is getting aboard the ship.
You won't be without help.
Ulek is already on board
working as a crewman.
But the crew are being searched
too carefully to conceal weapons.
Ulek does have cell phones.
I'll giveyou the numbers.
Hopefully the wind will be blowing
in the right direction.
Offthe lake, so its effect
on the citywill be maximized.
When you have finished this...
you'll be a fugitive forever...
separated from your family,
your home--
- I know.
- You areyoung. Think twice.
Let's just say
I wanna take a stand...
against this vulgar place.
Now tell me the real reason.
That's between Allah and myself.
May Allah have mercy on us both.
Over there. Go high. High.
- Stana Moore?.
- That's right.
This will take just a few minutes.
We're just working up some background
information for an investigation.
Just tell me how
I can helpyou.
Where areyou from?.
I don't think I can place that accent.
Chechnya.
But I'm a citizen now. 1 0 years.
Chechnya.
You have any family here?.
Kaz. My son.
- He goes to school?.
-Junior college, part-time.
- Could I talk to him?.
- He's not here right now.
He's done somethin'
to get the FBI after him?.
I just wanna talk about
these archaeological digs he goes on.
You think he is smuggling drugs
or somethin'?.
Forget it.
He's a serious Muslim.
He doesn't smoke, drink.
Good kid.
Tell me aboutyour son's
religious views.
Bull! That's bull!
I'd like to kill him sometimes,
but he ain't no terrorist.
The fact that he goes
to a mosque-- bull!
- Then you don't mind
ifwe do a search around here?.
- You wanna look around?.
Come backwith a warrant!
Thatspot overthere!
Howyou ladies doin'?.
- Good. How areyou?.
- Can I buyyou a drink?.
- Where areyou from?.
- Kansas, but I'm a soph at Ann Arbor.
- Cool.
- You ride today?.
Yeah, I was all over.
I totally ripped at the pipe.
It was cool.
I hate that I gotta go.
Why don't you staywith me?.
Then I'll drive you home.
?? [Radio: Hip-hop ]
- Anything to declare?.
- Nope.
Open the back, please, sir.
Wouldn't find any liquor
back here, would I?.
No, all I drink is beer, sir.
- How was the snow?.
- It was awesome.
Have a safe trip.
Max?
I gotta be in Detroit
in the morning.
I'm so glad you're here.
It's likeyou're a mind reader or something.
- I've been so worried about Eddie.
- Why?.
He doesn't want to play,
he doesn't want to go to school.
And, uh, he started to draw
these pictures again.
Oh, my God.
Listen, little man.
I have a bit ofa problem...
and I was wondering
ifyou could help me while I was gone.
You see, you're not
the only one who's scared.
I'm scared too.
And so is your mom.
And I thought,
since we're all scared...
maybe... we could
help each other...
so we don't have to hide
under the bed anymore.
I don't hide under the bed.
[ Whispering ]
I was talking about me. You're a brave boy.
But I'd likeyou
to do something for me.
I wantyou to write down
everything that scares you...
and give it toyour mom.
I'll call you every night,
and we'll talk about my list.
And we'll getyour mom
to make a list, and help hertoo.
- What doyou say?.
- Okay.
Okay. Good.
Allal Julaidin
is now in our custody.
After many conversations
with our security experts...
Youssef Nassariah
is the name you are interested in.
Who's Youssef Nassariah?.
That would best be gotten
from your own people.
- And Hudson Benoit?.
- He is being investigated for corruption.
If Mr. Benoit comes backwith so much
as a scratch on his body...
you will have madeyourself
a lasting enemy ofthis administration.
- Do we understand each other?.
- Very clearly.
[Maren ]
YoussefNassariah.
- Who's he supposed to be?.
- Muhammad, I hope.
Got it from the Saudis.
Youssef Nassariah, a.k.a. Muhammad,
40, Kuwaiti national...
died in Afghanistan during the U.S. bombing
oftheTaliban atTakut.
He wasAl Qaedasenior
training camp commander.
Before that, liaison to the CIA.
He acquired American ordinance
on behalf ofOsama bin Laden.
What actualproof
do we have that he died?
His dental records were verified
by unnamed Kuwaiti authorities...
who conveniently
had a sample on hand.
Yeah, very convenient.
But no one could verify that on your side?.
At the time, I think theywere
just happy enough...
to have the bastard
counted dead and move on.
You missed the best part.
Youssef Nassariah's agency contact
in Afghanistan-- Acton Sandman.
- God bless him.
- I'll do the psych profile on the guy...
findout what he reads, what he eats,
who he sleeps with.
Sandman's gonna want the lead.
He's got a historywith this guy.
I'll take the Agency.
I'd like to recommend that Raza
be assigned to the field for this operation.
- I'm in.
- All right.
- Go with Emily.
- [Derek] Whoa. Wait a minute.
Before we all dash offto pack
our toothbrushes and a favorite book...
following the arrest at the refinery,
I've ordered all U.K.
petroleum installations
on full alert.
And I suggest you urge
your Homeland Security to do the same.
Derek, has there been any progress...
in locating the killer
ofyouryoung associate?.
No, not as yet.
And because they obviously
know my address...
I've moved out to a hotel
for security reasons.
[ Arabic ]
[ All Praying ]
[ Children Shouting ]
[Derek]
Hello.
- Good evening,Jenny.
- Good evening, sir.
Oh, thanks, love.
- Seeyou tomorrow.
- Yes, sir.
[ElevatorDings ]
[ElevatorDings ]
I'd say drop it...
but given howyou people
just love to blow things to kingdom come...
I think that would be
highly inappropriate, don't you?.
Boys?.
Now, we kind of
expected explosives.
So now you've got
a decision to make.
You've caught me,
so I'm a dead man.
You're only as dead
as you want to be, really, aren'tya?.
So why don'tyou put the pin
back in that thing...
and hand it over
to the officer over there?.
Drop the grenade!
Now you're a dead man.

[ Sobbing ]
I don't know
how to help him.
Little man's been through a lot.
We all have.
But we gotta suck it up.
Theywant us to be afraid.
Theywant us to--
to shrink from the world...
from each other.
We can't let that happen.
[ Sighs ]
I'm so sorry
to be putting you through this.
Both ofyou.
Is this the way
the world works now?.
Because it really sucks.
[ Man ]
Hey!
Let me go!
- How's little man?.
- He's got a cold.
The kids at school pass around
the same virus like it was a volleyball.
- He's even given it to his FBI shadow.
- Which one?.
The cute one who keeps
making passes at me.
You're gonna have
to live with them for a while.
I'm on a plane for somewhere
in Michigan tonight. We got a tip.
Well, when you get there,
wherever "there" is, you call.
Every day.
Sandman. He literally
pinned me to the wall...
called me "a recreant
son of a bitch."
The words "backstabbing"
and "gutless" were mentioned.
I said, "You'll have to terminate me,
because I'm not gonna quit."
Sandman said, "Screw that.
I'll cycleyou down to the war college. "
-Doing what?.
-Teaching soldiers about
the storied history of the company.
To hell with him.
I'll take you over.
- You can do that?.
- I'll just have Catherine memo the director.
And, Raza, I'd like the Agency
background on Hud Benoit.
What?. I'm not interested in finding out
ifhe liked to play dress up...
or ifhe had
a girlfriend on the side.
- I needto knowthe extent ofhis activities.
- I can take care of it.
You better get going before Acton
takes awayyour parking spot.
- Okay, boss.
- [ Chuckles ]
Wish I could take him
back to MI 6 with me.
You know, he has the makings
of a fine field agent.
That's more information
than I need.
Faciallacerations, bodyblows...
probably inflicted with a club.
Some internal bleeding,
but we have that under control.
All the earmarks
of our Mukhabarat friends.
She'll need to stayhere
fora couple ofdays.
After that, she can go to
my sister and brother-in-law's.
- The judge?.
- Yes.
Theywon't dare come into his place.
She's in there.
I'll seeyou later.
Thankyou for everything
thatyou've done for us.
[ Sobs ]
[ Arabic ]
Don't use what happened to me...
as a reason to get in deeper
with these jihadists, Raghib.
Don't confuse revenge
for righteousness.
I'm about to leave Egypt.
I can make arrangements
foryou to leave...
as soon as you have
recovered sufficiently.
Once under suspicion...
the secret police
will never leave you alone.
Don't give your life to these people.
"Whoever kills a human...
"unless it be in
punishment for murder...
it shall be as though
he had slain all mankind."
"Whereas ifhe saves a life...
it shall be as though he has saved
the lives ofall mankind."
This is why I became a doctor.
The most sacred jihad is the one
that we embrace in our soul.
Purifying yourself
is not an acceptable pretext...
to go off and kill people.
Now...
I have taken all
the money I could get together.
You can use this cell phone
to call me safely...
anywhere in the world
should you need my help.
I do not want the kind
ofhelpyou offer me.
Reem, you must...
reconsider my advice to leave.

I've got a big favor to ask.
It's gotta be between us.
This is not a secure phone.
Nothing classified.
I need to know about North China Pipeline
and a few other companies...
and how a certain American
obtained a stake in them.
- I'm sorry the secret police got toyour sister.
- She still won't leave Cairo.
We haveyou on a flight
to Toronto tomorrow.
You will be carrying operational plans
and cash for Kaz Moore.
Plans forwhat?.
Inside are maps
ofthe Great Lakes.
They are the main shipping channels
supplying the American heartland.
Large ships carrying
oil and petrochemicals...
to inland refineries
and chemical plants.
After meeting Kaz,
your next stop is London.
I'll wantyou to supervise
the mission there.
What's the target in London?.
When you need to know.
[Whistle Blows ]

[Whistle Blowing]
Shane?.
Kaz?. Is that you, man?.
- How you doin', man?.
- [Whistle Blows ]
So I got my big block El Camino.
I'm gonna do all
the work myselftoo.
I don't wanna getJewed out
by some jig, right?.
Amen to that, brother.
Check that out.
You want to meet 'em?.
Don't stare.
So, listen, you still the guywho knows
most about guns and hunting?.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Why?.
What doyou need to know?.
I got somethin' in the works
with my militia buddies.
Come on.
Let's go meet the chicks.
Howyou ladies doin'?.
[Girls ]
We're okay.
Nice job cuttin' me
off at the knees.
I'm not looking for a fight.
No, no. That's a compliment
from an old Beltwaywarrior.
One soldier to another.
What doyou want, Acton?.
I want to make peace.
- [ Chuckles ]
- We're like one ofthose...
battlin' Irish families
fightin' amongst ourselves...
but let one poor stranger
come in and pick a fight with one of us...
the whole tribe kicks
their raggedy ass.
Just one big happy
dysfunctional family.
You're feelin'
a little froggy right now.
Sooner or later, you're gonna
come along and you're gonna...
knock on my door.
Fat chance.
So this is really
how field agents work?.
So this is really
how field agents work?.
The wholeJames Bond bit?.
Your assignment, ifyou choose
to accept it, Mr. Michaels...
is to use that boyish charm...
to uncover hot gossip and illegal
transactions in the world ofGulf oil.
SomethingJulaidin
might have been involved with.
Here.
Don't mention him by name.
Let them talk.
Edge the conversation towards
the puritans in the Saudi royal family.
Let it come toyou...
Iike the girls did at Princeton.
- They thought I was a nerd.
- Their loss.
- I thought we had dispensed with all that.
- No, you did.
I still cling to the slippery,
wet rocks ofhope.
??[Dance ]
[ No Audible Dialogue]
??[SlowJazz]
There's some gossip thatJulaidin
had competing oil executives assassinated.
It might be something, but...
how dowe know ifthese sources
aren't fabricating?.
Well, the oil ministers
are close to the royal family.
Ifthey're talking,
it's more than likely...
there's some fire to
go along with the smoke.
You don't have to know the whole truth
for this to be useful, Raza.
- So, what's eating you?.
- Want to take a guess?
No, I don't want to take a guess.
I want to know.
- We have a relationship. We share intimacies.
- We have sex, Hud...
and I won't deny that I love it...
thatyou make me feel alive,
or that I care foryou-- I do.
But cutting backdoor deals to sell oil
to North Korea?.
What wereyou thinking?.
We know about
your stock payoffs...
from Chinese oil companies
doing business with North Korea.
We're gonna be selling oil to Kim Jong Il
the second this nuke business is settled.
Someone's gotta open the door.
That's what I do.
- I open doors.
- Whatyou're doing is a federal crime.
- Please, Maren.
- I could have Hudson Benoit Consulting...
put on the U.N. Sanction List,
putting you out ofbusiness.
Okay, look, Maren,
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to compromiseyou.
I'm crazy aboutyou.
One word from me and the CIA file
on your activities will be atJustice.
Please, Maren. Ifthere's anything
I can do to helpyou.
Help me?
There's got to be some otherway
for me to prove toyou...
thatyou are more important to me
than this political, business crap.
- There is anotherway.
- All right.
- You want to prove just how much you care?.
- Yes, I do.
Will you go covert for us?.
Who areyou after?.
Who do you want?.
The Koreans?.
The Saudis.
[Prisoners Shouting]
[Man ]
Here comes one toyour cell!
A very close colleague ofmine
died because ofyour actions...
and those actions have
brought you here now.
So why don't we try talking
for a change, see where that gets us?.
Talking's good.
Will it get
my sentence shortened?.
[ Chuckles ]
I'll tell you somethin'.
You're not really
in a position to haggle...
and I'm in no mood to, certainly.
I'm only even remotely prepared
to helpyou and Hamid...
once I've assessed the value
ofwhateveryou're gonna tell me.
Hamid had nothing
to dowith this. Nothing.
He's a religious man.
He's always at the mosque.
Thereyou are. You see?.
Yeah, I believe that.
See?. Talking's doing
some good already.
So why don't we try
a bit more?.
Let's tryyou telling me...
the names and contact protocols...
of everyone involved
in your operation here.
Let me just say,
you try and mislead me...
and I'll make sure that
whatever's gonna happen toyou...
happens toyou twice as hard.
We only know first names.
- The big boss is called Muhammad.
- Muhammad?[ Chuckles ]
That doesn't exactly
narrow it down much, does it?.
The leader of
the U.K. operation is Masir.
Go on.
And the one who recruited me
is a guy called Kahil.
Masir. Where's he based?.
London.
He's always boastin' about how well
he does in the casinos around Hyde Park.
Ifl was to sityou down
with a police artist...
could you describe
Kahil and Masir?.
Very good.
You've seen Akil?.
Yeah. He's fine.
We're a religious family,
Mr.Jennings.
Akil... strayed.
Listen.
Ifl do manage to getyou
a few moments with him...
I think the best thing
you can do for Akil now...
is encourage him
to cooperate fully.
I wish you had spoken to me
about all this first.
I thought it was gonna be like
the Muslim foreign legion.
For a couple ofweeks,
I felt like I was--
I don't know-- like I was important
or somethin'.
But when I got there...
I mean, I was scared, man.
Those guys-- Those guys don't care
what gets in theirway.
You know,
some ofthe stuffl saw--
My brother,
let us pray together.
I don't think I can.
Try.Just try.
Allah is everywhere, even here.

Mmm. Good.
- Hey, use your fork, sweetie.
- It's too hard.
- Who's your favorite basketball player, little man?.
- Larry Bird.
You know how Larry Bird
learned to sink a fallawayjumper?.
- How?.
- Twirling spaghetti with his fork.
- Max.
- I'm serious. Ever see his wrists?.
- They're like 2-by-4's.
- From twirling spaghetti?.
Absolutely.
See, the wrist action...
is the same as turning
overyour top hand like this.
- Swish.
- Very nice.
Wow. Look at this.
Look at this guy. He's a natural.
Come on.
Eat your "pasghetti."
It's not "pasghetti," Daddy.
It's spaghetti.
You're right. Yeah.

Thanks for seeing me

Sheik Al Saud has always spoken
very highly ofyou.
Well, that's good to hear.
I can offeryou coffee,
ifyou like.
- No alcohol, naturally.
- Naturally.
Is it safe to speak frankly here?.
Very safe.

Good. Asyou know, I barelysurvived Lagos.
[Julaidin Over Radio ]
A terrible catastrophe for us all.
[Hudson ]
The man responsible calls himselfMuhammad.
I'd kill him with my own hands...
but I hear he has backers
among certain oil interests here.
You're working under
2 false assumptions.
One-- that I know
this Muhammad...
- and 2-- that I would ever tell you.
- Here we go.
You will tell me, orl willleak
the storyofyourinvolvement...
You will tell me, or I will leak
the story ofyour involvement...
in the '99 Qatar terrorist bombing
which killed 3 foreign oil brokers.
Lies. Nothing but lies.
There was a man who used to work for me.
He got himselfinto some trouble.
- He's winging it.
- Prison trouble.
- I helped him out ofit.
- Hud's got talent.
He gave me names, places,
and dates.
Those 3 men were actuallykilled
because theysuspected...
you were diverting millions
in oil revenues to the jihadists.
- Now he's showing off.
- Now, who is Muhammad?
I want the real identity ofMuhammad
and where he can be found.
- [ Crash ]
- What the hell---
- [ Radio Beeping]
- What's going on over there?.
Somebody, talk to me!
- Get someone over there!
- [ Siren Wailing ]
Not here.
There's no one here.
Not a soul.
What have I done?.
Whywon't they let me speak
to my solicitor?.
- Shut up, Kahil.
- It is my right!
You know what I find
really funny?.
Is people likeyou who really don't
care about other people's rights...
start bleating on about their own
as soon as they get caught.
In here, you don't
have any rights...
unless I give 'em you...
and I'm givin' you nothin'
until you start talkin'.
I knew he was dangerous.
I liked that he was dangerous.
The irony is there was no risk.
No personal risk.
I mean, he touched me,
but he could never...
touch me, you know?.
Or so I thought.
Doyou love him?.
I don't know ifI'm capable
ofthat kind oflove.
Which kind would that be?.
The "I can't live
with withoutyou.
I wanna be with you
forever" kind.
Okay.
- But ifl got him killed because I--
- He's of no use to them dead.
I gotta get him out,Jay.
Let the Saudis know thatyou wish
to protect the reputation ofthe kingdom...
but it will be impossible
without Hud's safe return.
One-- I want the immediate release
ofHudson Benoit.
Two-- I'm requesting access to your citizen
Allal Julaidin. We assume you have them both.
- This is an internal matter.
- I'll be blunt.
We know thatJulaidin
acted unofficially...
on behalf of certain
prominent Saudis...
to broker operating capital
to Al Qaeda...
the London sarin cell,
and others.
It brings into question the true intentions
ofthe Saudi government...
and the royal familywhen
it comes to combating terrorism.
The kingdom vigorously
pursues terrorists...
and their financial supporters.
Good.
- Hello.
- I guess you already know the drill.
Makeyourself at home.
My books are open.
You can check the computers.
Believe me, since 9/1 1, I've been
the most examined business in Dearborn.
- You're from--
- Iraq, initially.
I left there in the '80s.
Political differences with the Baathists.
I studied hotel management
in Beirut.
We have reason to believe
that sleeper cells...
were initiated in Beirut
durin' the timeyou spent there.
They may be connected
to the attacks in Lagos and London.
I'm not sleeping,
and I'm not hiding...
and ifl found out that
I have made arrangements...
for anyone involved
even remotelywith terrorism...
I would call you
beforeyou would call me.
Who handles the overseas
part ofthe operation?.
Reputable universities.
I'll give you their names
and a roster of my student clients.
You can talk to them directly.
The dig was pretty cool.
The food wasn't so great...
but camping in
the desert was amazing.
It was the best experience
of my life.
The best part were the boys.
Theywere pretty cool.
So manywalks oflife.
I've got a picture.
That's me, Danny,Jasmine...
Stan, and Kaz.
He's cute.
Got sick and left early. Too bad.
There's no Kaz on the roster
that the travel company provided.
- Could be a nickname.
- So the kid got sick. They refunded him.
- Took him offthe books.
- Or maybe it was a cover...
to get this Kaz out ofthe country
to one oftheir training camps.
Find out who the hell he is
and ifhe's the only one who got sick.
Let's get a tap ordered for the travel company,
the one that booked the tour.
Now, I know this guy. Right?.
He can take any semiautomatic...
and turn it
into a fully automatic weapon.
Oh,yeah, andall'syou have to do...
is you just buy
the trigger assembly kit, right?.
Andhe fixes it all up.
The gun's a go-go foryou.
- What about waiting periods?.
- No. There's none of that bull around here.
This is just some guys
sellin' to guys.
It's too bad we can't get
any fully automatics right now.
Look, there's always a guy
with some fullyauto.
- Well, I have the money.
- You betterlet me do the talkin'.
Because ifyou pick the wrong guy,
we'll get busted by the ATF.
- All right. You do the talkin'too.
- Yeah. Good.

This is what happens when you climb
into bed with murderers...

you can change the world.
- I--
- No, don't.
You don't exist, just like Omar.
Will you please listen to me?.
You don't think I'm mourning?.
You don't think
I'm tearing up inside?.
No one deserves to die.
Look, Omarwas no saint.
He was in the game
as deep as me.
You rememberwhat
Father used to say?.
How we were destined
to live in 2 worlds?.
And we'd never find a home
until we came to peace with it.
I have made peace
with myself, Nili.
So, I imagineyou want to know
all about the mission.
It's called
the AdventurerofChicago.
A liquid container ship.
They'll be carrying toxic chemicals
in stacked tanks.
How do I blow it up?.
Using magnetic dynamite
charges known as limpets.
6 limpets, 6 tanks.
I was only told to get
automatic weapons.
Don't worry.
We already have these explosives.
Your problem will be getting them past
the customs at the American border.
I'll hide them in the car.
And I have a plan
to get through customs.
What I don't have covered
is getting aboard the ship.
You won't be without help.
Ulek is already on board
working as a crewman.
But the crew are being searched
too carefully to conceal weapons.
Ulek does have cell phones.
I'll giveyou the numbers.
Hopefully the wind will be blowing
in the right direction.
Offthe lake, so its effect
on the citywill be maximized.
When you have finished this...
you'll be a fugitive forever...
separated from your family,
your home--
- I know.
- You areyoung. Think twice.
Let's just say
I wanna take a stand...
against this vulgar place.
Now tell me the real reason.
That's between Allah and myself.
May Allah have mercy on us both.

information for an investigation.

I can helpyou.
Where areyou from?.
I don't think I can place that accent.

But I'm a citizen now. 1 0 years.
Chechnya.
You have any family here?.
Kaz. My son.
- He goes to school?.
-Junior college, part-time.
- Could I talk to him?.
- He's not here right now.
He's done somethin'
to get the FBI after him?.
I just wanna talk about
these archaeological digs he goes on.
You think he is smuggling drugs
or somethin'?.
Forget it.
He's a serious Muslim.
He doesn't smoke, drink.
Good kid.
Tell me aboutyour son's
religious views.
Bull! That's bull!
I'd like to kill him sometimes,
but he ain't no terrorist.
The fact that he goes
to a mosque-- bull!
- Then you don't mind

- You wanna look around?.
Come backwith a warrant!

ifyou could help me while I was gone.
You see, you're not
the only one who's scared.
I'm scared too.
And so is your mom.
And I thought,
since we're all scared...
maybe... we could
help each other...
so we don't have to hide
under the bed anymore.
I don't hide under the bed.

But I'd likeyou
to do something for me.
I wantyou to write down

and we'll talk about my list.
And we'll getyour mom
to make a list, and help hertoo.
- What doyou say?.
- Okay.
Okay. Good.
Allal Julaidin
is now in our custody.
After many conversations
with our security experts...
Youssef Nassariah
is the name you are interested in.
Who's Youssef Nassariah?.
That would best be gotten
from your own people.
- And Hudson Benoit?.
- He is being investigated for corruption.
If Mr. Benoit comes backwith so much
as a scratch on his body...
you will have madeyourself
a lasting enemy ofthis administration.
- Do we understand each other?.
- Very clearly.
[Maren ]
YoussefNassariah.
- Who's he supposed to be?.
- Muhammad, I hope.
Got it from the Saudis.
Youssef Nassariah, a.k.a. Muhammad,
40, Kuwaiti national...
died in Afghanistan during the U.S. bombing
oftheTaliban atTakut.
He wasAl Qaedasenior
training camp commander.
Before that, liaison to the CIA.
He acquired American ordinance
on behalf ofOsama bin Laden.
What actualproof
do we have that he died?
His dental records were verified
by unnamed Kuwaiti authorities...
who conveniently
had a sample on hand.
Yeah, very convenient.
But no one could verify that on your side?.
At the time, I think theywere
just happy enough...
to have the bastard
counted dead and move on.
You missed the best part.
Youssef Nassariah's agency contact
in Afghanistan-- Acton Sandman.
- God bless him.
- I'll do the psych profile on the guy...
findout what he reads, what he eats,
who he sleeps with.
Sandman's gonna want the lead.
He's got a historywith this guy.
