The Grid (2004): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

[ Maren ]
I need your help.

It's about Youssef Nassariah.

He's dead.
Afghanistan,January '01.

He staged his own death, and now
he's reemerged as the Muhammad...

responsible for Lagos and the attempted
assassination on Jennings and Canary.

We believe that he is currently planning
a new attack on oil installations...

possibly on American
and British soil.

How'd you get this?

Saudi security.
They've been debriefingJulaidin.

He gave them a list ofsafe houses
that he might be using.

Soyou know
where he might be.



He was your contact back
in the mujahadeen.

I shot him trying to steal arms
and cash from us.

Got him in the leg,
I know that.

I want you on the team
that extracts him.

I want control ofthe team.

Look.

We've butted heads over turf, tactics,
and Raza Michaels.

I need you to say all of
that is a closed book.

- Done.
- Well, go get him.

Hudson Benoit.
His kidnappers could be...

Saudi puritan police
or friends ofJulaidin...

in the ministry looking to trade.

Maybe I can do something.

Itwould be appreciated.



I have another mission
in London to replace the one...

that has been disrupted.

But it requires an operative...

with your special skill sets.

I'm sorry.

Is there anything that I can do
foryou oryour family?

I need you to reconsider howyou feel
about using sarin ifit is carefully...

directed at the agents
ofthe Egyptian and Saudi governments.

Take the next flight to London.
A brother named Agung will contactyou.

We will speak again.
[ Arabic ]

??[Radio: Rock]

- I thought it was too dangerous to meet.
- It is too dangerous not to.

The FBI has been to my office,
and they are all overyour dad.

You've got to go covert.

[ Arabic ]

[Knife Clicks ]

[AirHissing]

Yo, Shane. Hey, it's me Kaz.

Take a look at these.
Safe houses in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.

What's your intuition tell you?

It's a strong possibility
that's where he is right now.

I concur.

Well, then here's the plan.

We drop a CIA team
on the beach, move inland...

overwhelm Nassariah's men,
fast and strong.

I propose an SA.S. extraction team.
Small and stealthy.

They'll be on top of Nassariah
before he knows what's happening.

Is that whatyou think?

Because ifyou're wrong you'd be sending
some good men to the grave.

- You ready for that?
- Listen, Emily, Sandman's right.

We go in hard.
If the shooting starts...

we've got the bigger guns
and more of them.

If I know my boyYoussef, he'll fold his hands
when he doesn't have the cards.

Unless he sees our hand first.

[ Laughing ]

- That's for coming, man.
- No sweat, bud.

Look, I gotta meet these guys.

Can we swap wheels?
Only be for an hour or so.

Well, I'll just help
you change the flat on your Caddy.

No, no, I'm up
against the clock, man.

I mean, you can take the Caddy.
We'll just hook up later.

- I can take the Caddy?
- Yeah.

- Yeah. Okay.
- Awesome. You're the best, man.

I won't forget this, man.
Take it easy.

Hey, like, come on, you know.
Why don't you tell me what's going on?

It's need-to-know basis, my friend,
and you don't need to know...

except that you just helped score one
for the good guys.

[Engine Starts ]

[Sandman ]
YoussefNassariah is now 40...

and it's likely
he's altered his appearance.

We want him alive.

He's suspected of masterm i ndi ng
ongoing terrorist activities...

in the U.S. and U.K.

We'll zodiac to the Syrian
coastal town ofTartous...

and deployfrom
the beach there.

MI6 will go overland...

and stand by
the town's back door.

- Mr. Michaels?
- Nassariah speaks fluent English.

He's no martyr.
He's gone to great lengths to stay alive...

even an elaborate
faking ofhis own death.

He's an accomplished
assassin, CIA-trained...

and competent with
a variety of ordnance.

Paranoid and cautious,
he only travels at night...

with a small retinue
ofhighly trusted guards.

Any questions?

Good luck.

[Boys Shouting InArabic]

Where areyou taking me?

What's gonna happen to me?
I wanna talk to my embassy.

Your plane leaves in 1 0 minutes.

[Man On P.A. SpeakingArabic]

Here's the warrant
you asked for, Mr. Moore.

Go ahead.
You won't find nothing.

- Okay, do it.
- Have you spoken with Kaz?

He doesn't call me every hour.

This dig he was on, we believe
he was actually in Nigeria.

That's not what Kaz says.

At the same time
as the terrorist bombing in Lagos.

He wouldn't have anything to do
with something like that.

Then help us find him.
Let us talk to him.

Let Kaz clear himself.
That's all we want.

That would really be
helping your son.

I don't know where he is.

He took the Caddy.
I think he's seeing some girl.

Describe the car, please.

Champagne color,
2003 Escalade...

Iicense...

4Q9X65.

[Policeman ]
Get out ofthe car!

Step awayfrom the vehicle!

Get on your knees!
Get down!

[Shane ]
Bigpile ofcrap, man.

Come on!

"You's" guys seen him, right?

I mean, there's no way Kaz would
be some towel-headed terrorist.

Damn right. Kaz is one
real Caucasian, isn't he?

White as rice.

More Caucasian than you and me.

- Say, haveyou ever heard ofChechnya?
- Yeah.

It's them, uh, guys that are
fighting them Russians--

- A gang of Muslim terrorists, right?
- Yeah, I knew that.

Chechnya is in the Caucasus.

That's were the word
"Caucasian" came from.

A lot ofthem are
blond, blue-eyed...

and Muslim.

You've been abetting a terrorist...

in his plan to kill Americans.

That's called treason.

Wonderwhatyour brothers in the Michigan
militia are gonna think aboutyour new friend.

I'm the best chanceyou got.
You better make me happy.

Okay, look.

Okay, I helped him
get some semiautos, right?

But Kaz, he never said what
he was gonna do with them, right?

I just thought that maybe
he had something to do...

with the Michigan militia
or something.

Right?
But hewould never say...

and then all ofsudden
the guy phones me, and he's got a flat.

He says, uh, he needs mywheels
real urgent, and so--

And I don't
know what for, man.

I swear. Like I asked him,
but he wouldn't tell me nothin'--

- Describeyour car.
- It's a gray 1 983 El Camino.

Where did you last see Kaz,
and which waywas he going?

- Tell me, damn it!
- Okay!

[Cell Phone Ringing]

- Ulek, it's Kaz.
- [ Whispering ] Hang on.

[ Ulek]
We are on schedule.

6:.1 5 A.M., portside.

Approximately 5 knots.

Show me.

You're right.
The reading's offthe chart.

There's no doubtyour Escalade
was used to carry explosives.

Haveyou ever used that car
to carry explosives?

Come on, Mr. Moore.
It's time to face the facts.

It's the onlyway
to help Kaz.

You think I can
just put him out of my head...

to say he's already dead and it
doesn't matterwhat happens to him?

He's my blood. I can't.

We need to find him
to talk to him.

Anything you can
tell us, anything...

can still help turn this around.

Maybe-- Maybe save his life.

You won't kill him.

Promise me, you won't kill him.

Promise meyou won't kill him...

and I will helpyou anyway I can.

Ifthere's anyway, believe me...

I don't want to kill anyone.

Go to Raffi
at Naka Travel Office.

He arranges all those digs.

[Man OverRadio, Indistinct]

- We've been given the go-ahead to move.
- Stand by.

[Man Over Radio ]
Copythat.

- What?
- There's nothing more attractive...

than watching someone
do what they do well.

- You think?
- Mm-hmm. I know.

[ Sniffs ]
And how areyou with weapons?

Standard CIA training.
I know which way to point.

Could you kill him?
Muhammad?

- I thought that wasn't the point.
- It's not.

And ifitwere, itwould be
highly unattractive...

since killing
is notwhatyou do.

This is Red Team leader. We have eyes on him.
We're at reach point. Waiting further.

[ Shouts ]

[Man Shouting]

Move in!

[ Soldier]
The area is secured, sir.

[Soldiers Chattering]

It's not him.

This is Julian 25,
come in, over!

[ C.I.A. Teamer]
We're okay. We got 4 K.I.A. 's here.

Emily, go on in now.

[ Speaks Softly ]

All right, team is moving out.

[ Emily] Muhammad's gone.
SA.S. are initiating searches.

I think our efforts are about
to be hampered by the locals.

- Raza's found a partially destroyed computer.
- [Sirens Wailing]

[Sandman ]
Syrian units are moving in.

We'll start right away. Try to smooth things
over with the Syrian authorities.

Come on.
Try to get a lead on our friend.

It was a good play.

He'll have to come up
for air sometime.

- Dr. Mutar?
- Yes?

I'm Agung. Muhammad's
waiting foryour call.

- Yes?
- [ Muhammad ] There will be
a conference in London.

Saudi and Egyptian officials
will meetwith representatives...

ofthe Western oil interests.

Agung has details
on your mission.

He also has a manual.
Itwill instructyou on the use ofsarin.

Good. Good.

You have my respect.

This is an act of great courage.

[ Raza ]
Areyou getting this? Doyou see it?

A picture of a dog?

Yeah, so what?

How'd you miss it, Acton?

The photo resolution is low
because it's a dot matrix.

They can turn those dots into bars
like the bar codes...

used for pricing
in store inventory.

Check this out.

It's a steganographic communication.

The Agency has a program
called S-DART to break the code.

I loaded a copy
onto my laptop before I left.

You traitorous S.O.B.

Oh, thanks, Acton.

There's another one
in the dog's right eye.

Lake Michigan.

Whoa.

That's great work, Michaels.

I'll put you up
for an "attaboy."

- [ Cell Phone Ringing]
- [ Max ] Canary.

[ Maren ] We attempted to extract
Muhammad, but didn't get him.

We did recover materials--

maps on the Great Lakes,
specs on tankers.

There's hundreds of ships
going back and forth...

Canadian, U.S., more than a few
carrying hazardous cargo.

It's a total crap shoot.

[ Arabic ]

- A stranger has appeared at a mosque I go to.
- Shh, shh.

No one has seen him before,
but they tell me he's an Egyptian.

Barely speaks to anyone.
He just prays and goes.

I realize how painful
the loss ofyour brother must be, Hamid...

but I really don't think
you should be doing this.

These puritans killed Akil.

Doyou think I can
just sit at home?

What I reallythink
you should be doing...

is leaving this
to the professionals...

and getting back
toyour own life.

How can my life exist
independently ofwhat happened...

to my brother?

I took a picture ofthe Egyptian.

It's a good picture, yes?

He's the key to a hunch
we're playing out.

An Egyptian national.
The picture was taken today in London.

What is he supposed to have done?

It's not so much
about what he's done...

it's about what we're
frightened he might do.

I'll letyou know
when I get a response.

- Thanks. Appreciate it.
- Thankyou.

I'll request deployment ofAWACSsurveillance
overthe Great Lakes...

bring in state patrols, and Royal Canadian
Mounted Police on board...

and put out an alert
to all the tankers in the area.

You've done well, I see.

Has your government
taken a position yet?

I appreciate it, Chalib.

Then you've no objection
ifwe speak to the townspeople?

Ask him ifthey paid by check.

It's a check drawn
on a Beirut bank...

on behalf of
the Islamic school for boys.

Use our contact in Beirut to find out
who's authorized to sign checks...

and what other property
they might rent or own.

I always find it hard winding down.

Areyou tired?

Yes. Um, no, no.

Well, I-- I don't
sleep verywell. You?

No.

So this is the target?

"Quarterlyconference ofMiddle Eastern
oilproducers and consumers.

George III Hall,
Friday, 1 0::00 a.m. "

[ Call To Prayer
Over Loudspeakers ]

Did I wake you?

Yep.

But I can't thi nk of a lovelier way
to be woken up.

Is everything all right?

Mm-hmm.
Everything's fine.

I respect the fact
that sleeping with a woman...

outside of marriage
is taboo in your culture, Raza.

Doyou think that's
what I was praying for...

forwhat happened
between us last night?

- I was praying for guidance.
- About me?

About us.

I'm falling in love with you.

What?

I'm falling in love with you...

and I want to find a way
to continue to fall in love with you...

for the foreseeable future.

I'm blinded byyou.

Isn't this the way
it's supposed to be?

In Hollywood and storybooks, yes.

If only life were so easy.

So what doyou suggest we do?

I only want to be with you...

but I need some time...

to resolve some issues.

You've got it...

but I warn you...

patience isn't one of myvirtues.

This much I've noticed.

Dr. Raghib Mutar.

This man is a fugitive
with suspected terrorist associations.

Well, whyweren't
we alerted, Sharif?

This is the first
I've heard ofhim myself.

Everything you've got on Dr. Mutar and
get it around to us as fast as you can.

Bye-bye.

How are you doing,Jim?

Okay. A bit oftrouble sleeping,
you know.

First timeyou've seen
a colleague killed?

Yes, sir.

The first time's tough.

Every time's tough.

Just spent most ofthe morning
trying towrite to Gregor's parents.

I used to be really good at that sort ofthing,
the official condolences.

In Northern Ireland, I was doing
2 or 3 ofthem a week, I remember.

For queen and country?

- That's what people want to hear.
- I suppose so.

We gotta put this
in perspective, you know?

I mean, ifyou take
the long-term view...

then men like Gregor
don't die in vain.

Doyou really believe that?

Most ofthe time.

Some ofthe time.

Muhammad's gone.
I'm sure ofit. I'd look toJordan.

[ Maren ]
What makes you think so?

There was a school van seen here
with Amman identification.

Raza will fill you in.

Four boys were seen with Nassariah.

The kids I spoke with here said Muhammad's boys
were dressed like a soccer team...

but that none
could actually play.

- What doyou think?
- I'm afraid he might be using
these kids to place bombs...

or even as
suicide bombers themselves.

Maren, areyou there?

I'll immediately order
wall-to-wall NSA and NRO surveillance...

and notifyJordanian authorities.

We'll continue this later.
You take care, both ofyou.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Excuse me.

[ Sighs ]
It is good to seeyou.

You okay?

It took everything I had not to drop
to my knees and kiss the ground.

Who took me,
and how'd you get me out?

Religious police, thug friends
ofJulaidin trying to cut him a deal.

- The Agencyworked its magic.
- I am so glad to be the hell out ofthere.

- Thankyou.
- You did good, Hud.

Now's your chance to be good.

I'll be good.
I'll be very, very, very good.

Your excellent service for this government
has earned you a chance to start over.

What do you mean
"to start over"?

I want to know every dirty deal
you're into now or in the past.

What's this about?

I saved your life.
Now it's time to pay up.

You've changed.

Actually, no, Hud, I've always been this way.
You just never noticed.

I want to know about every illegal contact,
every secret meeting.

- You're gonna tell me everything.
- I do that, how do I stay in business?

You don't.

Thanks, Louie.

Ischeduleda debriefing
onyour detainment tomorrow morning...

soyou could get some sleep.

I had a big speech
about you and me...

but I have more important things
that need my attention, so...

since we won't be seeing each other
for a while, this is good-bye.

Do what's right tomorrow, Hud.
I'd hate to destroyyou.

Welcome home.

[Maren ]
We didn't get Muhammad.

We almost had him,
but we let him slip through.

We're running out oftime.

Catch him ifyou can,
when you can...

but the probabilities
are againstyou.

You're telling me not to mistake
a skirmish forthewar.

I know that...

but everyone talks about process
until something happens.

Civil liberties, gotta have them
until a dirty bomb goes off...

and theywant everybody
with a 5:.00 shadow locked up.

I know this is just a setback...

which there are
and will be many,Jay...

butyou tell that to the people
who watch and make the news.

It's true.

The media score card instantly rates
every event, every decision.

Everyone from the president on down
gets graded personally all day long.

Ifyou ask me, that's the way
you run Wall Street, not a great nation.

Your real mission...

is to put fresh energy
in America's response...

to show the world
we are vigorous enough...

canny enough,
to go the distance.

I'm afraid that's above
my pay scale.

Butyou're well-suited for chaos.

Oh, thankyou.

You are.
You get calm amid chaos...

centered, focused.

Probablywhyyou're drawn to it.

Seize the initiative, Maren.

Don't get caught
reacting toyesterday.

[Maren ]
Thisjust came in from the S.A.S.

[Maren ]
Thisjust came in from the S.A.S.

They're still recovering data from the computer
Raza took from Muhammad's safe house.

What about these I i?m pets, Mark?

[ Mark ]
2. 6 pounds, magnet charges, Soviet-made.

They're made to be
stuck on the side of the target...

and then blow a hole
through 4 inches of steel.

- Can they sink a ship?
- Well, ifyou had enough, anything that floats.

Langley's decoding has indicated...

that the plan calls
for the limpets to be...

detonated remotely
and simultaneously.

- What frequency?
- That we don't know...

but there's a high
frequency scrambler available...

that could create enough noise...

to disrupt the signals
across the entire radio band.

- Can we get it to Max?
- There's a team on the way.

- Emily, Raza, can you hear me?
- Yes.

We believe he's going to use limpet charges
to blow up a ship on the Great Lakes.

I need Muhammad in the flesh.

He's in control,
he knows where.

His safe house was paid
for by a boys school.

Some interesting names
popped up on their bank records--

Julaidin, and a rich Jordanian...

named Assad Sabin, 40,
same age as Nassariah.

Let me guess. Which is linked to Nassariah,
aka, Muhammad, and the man on Max's list.

I think he has one more target
in addition to Britain and the U.S.

There's a meeting here in Amman,
OPEC oil ministers from the Gulfstates.

I trust the i nsti ncts
of those kids I spoke with i n Syria.

- Well, I concur. Go with it.
- We've alerted Jordanian security.

Ifwe find those kids, Nassariah
will be close by.

Your instructions
on how to wire the timing fuse.

The difficult part will be getting it
into the oil conference.

There will be a lot ofsecurity.

- You have a plan to deploy the sarin?
- Yeah.

I would never talk.

- That's what we all believe.
- [DoorBuzzes ]

Recognize him?

You recruited him.

This is whatyour own people
do to the ones who get caught, is it?

Knife across the throat.

Left to die alone on a cold
concrete floor.

I thinkyou've spent
enough time in here.

Come on. Offyou go.

You'll feel right at home here.

Fellow Muslims...

Iookin' after one another.

In you go.

A wordofadvice.

Don't get hungry.

- [Pounding On Door]
- Okay! I'll talk!

He's called Agung.
A Malaysian hit man.

- Go on.
- He owns a motorcycle repairshop...

under the arches in Hackney.

Don't leave me here! Please!

[Derek ] You are completely
surrounded by the police.

Come out with your hands
in the air!

I repeat--

come out with your hands
where we can see them.

All clear!

This is your final warning.

[ Gunshot Within ]

- [ Line Ringing ]
- [ Woman ]
800 Road Assist. May I help you, Mr. Moore?

Can you tell me the last time
I used the service?

Certainly, Mr. Moore.
It'll just take a moment.

That was 3 days ago,
when you locked your keys in the car.

Where exactly?

At the intersection ofSouth Lakeshore Drive
and East Jackson Drive.

- Thankyou.
- Have a nice day, Mr. Moore.

Chicago.

We've gone through everything.
There are no other bodies.

We found several pounds
of plastique...

and this in the safe.

Two here. Bashara used 2.

We must assume there's more
out there somewhere.

Probablywith Dr. Mutar.
All right, thanks.

Sir, there's a ladywho claims
to have seen...

someone driving a white van
out ofthere earlier this morning.

-Just a few minutes beforeyou got here.
- Description?

White van. White all over.

- That's it?
- That's it.

- Thanks a lot.
- You know, sometimes I find it really comforting...

when I have absolutely
no idea what to do next.

- [DoorOpens ]
- [ Gun Cocks ]

Tell the crew to drop anchor
and meet you down in the engine room.

[Max]
Kazmust've been scouting his target...

when he used
the 800 Road Assist.

[Maren ]
Max, coast guard's brought in reenforcements...

to check every ship
coming into Chicago.

[ Man ]
She arrived a few hours ago.

When they didn't dock,
we became suspicious.

They've refused all attempts
at communication.

What's she carryi ng?

Sulfuric acid.
Chloro-hydrocarbons.

Phosgene. All toxic.

She's one hellacious cocktail.

We turnedaway
all incomingships...

and closed the port
to motortraff-ic.

We have portable booms ready to
put in place in case of leaks or discharge.

We don't want them to
know we're on to them.

No sirens.

They may have a police band monitor
on board, so no police radio traffic.

Yes, hello. This is Dr. Manning
from the London hospital.

Can I speak toyour
supervisor, please? Thankyou.

Oh, hi. This is Dr. Manning.
I'm the physician forSheikAl Saud.

That's right, yes.
Now, for medical reasons...

the sheik's diet is being
carefully monitored...

so I wondered ifyou could give me
the details ofyour catering service...

so I can go through
the ingredients with them?

Yeah. That's lovely.
Thankyou very much.

[ Arabic ]

- [DoorOpens ]
- [Man ] Excuse me. Doyou mind?

Go on.

[Police Radio Chatter]

[ Woman ] There's no sign of
a white van or Dr. Mutar, sir.

This is like trying to find
a grain of rice on Blackpool Beach.

We got more ofa chance
offinding a virgin in Soho.

All right, everybody.
Listen to me. Payattention.

All right, we've tried all
the Western embassies...

so now let's try
the Middle Eastern embassies.

The Israeli embassy, synagogues,
Jewish schools, and after that...

we'll try the headquarters ofall
the oil companies in the city ofLondon.

They could stri ke anywhere
at any bloody ti me.

We just gotta keep tryin'.
Let's go.

Despite the surge
in violent fundamentalism...

we see this as an opportunity...

to further develop the ties...

between Arab nations
and Western corporations.

[ Radio Chatter]

Ofcourse, there are
fundamental inequalities on the ground...

that must be addressed.

We cannot take the business
into the next decade...

if those i n whose
com m unities we operate...

are... rooted in the past.

How we do this
is one of the key questions.

Perhaps the key question...

to which we must
address ourselves.

In the coming--
What's going on?

[ Woman ]
Sir! Sir!

We're getting reports
of food poisoning at the oil conference.

Get a Haz Mat team
over there rapid.

And two of our team
over there too. Let's go.

[Man OverRadio ]
Medical emergencyat George III Hall.

Request 3 ambulances
and a Haz Mat unit.

[ Siren Wailing ]

Move! Hurry up!
This way!

Bring it here!

- We have several very sick men.
- Show me where they are.

- Thanks for getting here so quickly.
- It's all right.

This way, mate!
Straight through there!

He ate a piece of pastry and immediately
fell over. They all ate from the same tray.

This is suffering from acute respiratory
distress from something he has eaten.

The food must've been poisoned.
They need an antidote immediately.

I don't have the antidote here.
I've got some in my car.

Staywith them. No food, no water.
Keep their foreheads cool.

I'll be back in a minute.
Don't worry. They can be saved.

Hey, we got a guy
who's stopped breathing.

- I'm just getting the antidote.
- Please, he's dying.

I have to go for the antidote. I've gotta get
to myvan, or the others will die.

[ Siren Wailing ]

- Finding the antidote all right?
- Yes, mate.

- You need any help?
- No, I'm all right.

[ Police Chattering ]

[Men Coughing]

[ Coughing ]

Have them clear the buildings.

[Coughing Continues ]

[Emily]
We got the call. It's from the Excelsior Hotel.

[ CrowdApplauding, Cheering]

[ Siren Wailing ]

[ Shouting In Arabic ]

- Raza, leave this to the locals.
- They'll kill them.

- If they have to. Muhammad must be near.
- Go. I'll monitor this.

[ Man ] I have a fix on the package.
One male on rooftop...

holding binoculars
dressed in black at 9:.00.

Take every precaution,
but do not kill him.

[ Dialing ]

[ Dialing Continues ]

- [ Button Beeps ]
- [ Beeps ]

We have him. The locals captured him,
and tied him down.

[Man]
Staydown!

Mr. Nassariah, we know
you have information...

regarding ongoing terrorist
attacks in the U.S. and U.K.

You talk to me now
and save yourself.

Put him in the car.

[ Grunting ]

[Sirens Wailing]

[ Sobbing ]

[Man ] Ms.Jackson, snipers are
in position, CCTV is operational.

Subjects unaware ofsurveillance.

I ordered deployment
of the radio jammers...

but their range and effectiveness
through the metal hull is uncertain.

- What's the situation here?
- We believe the crew is being held hostage.

No one showed themselves.
Fire fight's out ofthe question.

Too easy to blow up the ship and what
she's carrying. The only good news is that...

the wind is blowing east
over the lake, away from the city.

That could change at any moment.
They're probablywaiting.

Wind's changing.
Shouldn't be long now.

[ Telephone Ringing ]

Hello?

Kaz, is thatyou?

Kaz, what did you do?

They say-- They say
you are a terrorist.

You're gonna see me
on the news tomorrow.

I hope you like it.
It's dedicated to you.

Kaz, ifyou're in trouble,
I can help.

Help me?

You abandoned
my mother in Chechnya.

The Russians killed her,
like they killed all our people!

You betrayed me.

You betrayed our country,
our faith...

and you betrayed
my mother, and forwhat?

Is this about your mama?

I loved your mama.
I begged her to come with us.

But you took me away from her.

When she died,
I wanted to die.

Yeah, you wanted to die,
butyou didn't die.

You-- You lived! You lived
with your cars and your--

your money...

and your American whores.

Is it-- Is it worth it?

Is it worth your honor?
Your soul?

I did what I did so I could
make better life for you.

What better life?
What, to be what you're not?

To want what
you can never have?

Don'tyou get it? I hate your life!
I hate everything about it!

You hate me so much
you want me to die?

Stop whatyou are doing,
and I kill myself. I swear.

Just, please, do me one favor.

Stop whatyou are doing
and come home.

Bye, Dad.

What, uh-- What happens to us?

I got a gunshot.Just one.

- Didn't hear a ricochet or a metal hit.
- We have to move now, Maren.

Anyone tries to leave,
we'll kill you.

I'm patching EmilyTuthill
in from Amman.

Raza's dead.

How?

He was killed trying to disarm...

one of Muhammad's suicide bombers.

- Muhammad?
- We have him in custody.

- Is he talking?
- No, notyet.

His operatives are holding
a tankerfull oftoxic chemicals, Emily.

We have to know how
they plan to detonate.

When he was taken,
he had 3 cell phones.

It's likelyhe used
one ofthem to detonate...

the bomb on the child
Raza was trying to save.

You have to get onto this.

You have to get onto this.

Could they use a cell phone
to set off the I?m pets?

Yes. Think beeper--
all set to the same number.

Kaz doesn't need a transmitter
strong enough to penetrate the ship's hull.

He'll use the power
of our own cellular phone grid.

What's it gonna take
to turn offthe entire cell network?

They can't do it
on your authorization.

- You're gonna need a bigger stick.
- Mark, did you get this?

- Affirmative.
- I need authorization...

to suspend cell service
for the entire city ofChicago.

- I need it now.
- I'll have to wake him.

Do it, Mark.

Whatever the answer is, one way
or the other, you move on the ship.

Got it.
Use pepper spray, mace...

- anything to avoid firing guns
except as a last resort.
- Yes, sir.

[Wind Howling]

[Telephone Buzzing]

Maren, pick up the phone.

Yes, Mr. President.

It is definitely a clear
and present danger.

No. There's no time
for confirmation.

Yes, sir.
It's a gut call.

The cell grid will be shut down
by presidential order.

[Man OverRadio ]
They've dropped the ladder. They're on the move.

Pray Allah doesn't
change the wind on us.

Go, go, go, go.

[Man ]
On the screen here, the grid's going down.

Damn.

There's no signal!
Get back up here.

We've gotta set
the charges manually.

Help me pull this up
so theywon't board.

[Max] Don't let them pull
up the ladder. Take the shot!

Take the shot!

It came from down below.
You guys go around!

- Santis, you're with me!
- Yes, sir.

Kaz, stop!
I don't wanna hurt you.

Shoot only ifyou have to.
Don't worry about saving my ass.

You hear me?
Shoot only ifyou have to.

Kaz, we're not gonna
let you set that off.

Don't do this, Kaz.
I spoke to your father, Kaz.

He doesn't want you
to do this.

Come on, Kaz, think. Think about your father.
Think about standing up here.

Put the weapon down, Kaz!
Don't do this, Kaz!

[ Groans ]

[ Coughing ]

- Shoot him.
- [ Arabic ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Santis On Radio ]
The situation is secured.

The weapons have been taken off-line.
The assailants are dead.

- Max?
- He took a bullet.

I'll be okay.

- Areyou sure, Max?
- I just--

I just promised his father
I'd take him alive.

You understand they're going to makeyour life
extremely unpleasant unless you cooperate.

My life has always been unpleasant.

Death will be a release.

Oh, you thinkyou're going to heaven
to be with yourvirgin brides?

Not literally, of course.

You've had more than one chance
to martyryourself.

Yet, you're still here.
Why is that, I wonder?

The truth is you want to live.

And the reality
is your life is in my hands.

Soyou talk to me now...

or they'll go to work
on your mind with drugs.

You'll be drooling every dark secret
in that filthy head ofyours.

- I only answer to Allah.
- Allah?

You thinkAllah is interested
in a criminal likeyou?

Allah can't saveyou
from the hell on earth...

theywill create foryou
with loving care.

Your hands tremble.
I'm your prisoner. What's to fear?

It's not fear. It's rage.

- Rage is power.
- I want to kill you, yeah.

I want to seeyou suffer.
That I know you understand.

What you don't know
is that my rage...

makes me feel weak.

Weak and helpless, likeyou.

You loved him, your Arab man.

Your schoolgirl crush
makes you weak.

Stop the car.

- That's not a goodidea, ma'am.
- I said stop the bloody car!

Are you ready to die?
You better be...

and when you meet Allah,
you tell him your rage destroyed you.

You tell him
it destroyed me too.

[ Screaming ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Crying ]

[ Man On TV] Two men are dead tonight
in what the FBI describes...

as an unsuccessful attempt
by terrorists to sabotage a tanker...

containing toxic chemicals
in the port ofChicago.

[Man SpeakingArabic]

Hamid.

Mr.Jennings. Hopeyou don't mind me asking
to seeyou one last time.

No, not at all. I'm just glad I got
the opportunityto thankyou.

What I did,
I did for myself...

and my brother.

And the consequences
were far more widespread than that.

You've been a credit
toyour community and your country.

Please, accept this as a token...

of my respect
and appreciation...

forwhatyou
tried to do for Akil.

No one could have tried harder
for their brother than you did.

It wasn't enough.

You know, I believe
we each choose our own path in life.

Even with you as an example...

Akil was tempted elsewhere.

He could've resisted that temptation
ifhe'd wanted to...

but he didn't.

Does that seem a bit harsh?

Very Christian.

- It was Akil's.
- Yeah, I remember.

Hang it up in your home,
and it will protectyou.

Not only is it pretty,
it is also more lightweight than a gun.

I don't knowwhat to say.

Then allow me.

Salaam alaikum, Derek.

Salaam alaikum, Hamid.

- [Sarah ] This is final?
- [ Emily] For now.

- This war isn't over.
- Yes, I know.

I won't beg you
or wave the flag.

I know you too well for that.

May I ask why?

I'm not sure I can say.

What we do, what I did,
comes from a place offear.

I watered my fear,
tended it like a plant.

And it grew tendrils of
anger and hate and rage inside me.

And then...

I fell in love with Raza.

Unexpectedly.

A "schoolgirl crush."

I wanted to kill Muhammad.

I could have killedhim.

The tendrils ofhatred had grown
like a vine around my heart.

And it made me feel like him...

as ifI'd become him.

And that... horrified me.

Because I know
there's something else.

I hopeyou find some kind
ofhappiness, Emily.

Well, I'm not aiming that high.

[Sports Game Playing On TV]

- Mmm.
- [ Chuckles ]

You wantsome Gummi Bears
withyourM&M's andmarshmallows?

I want what you want.
[ Laughs ]

- What I want, that's what you want?
- Mm-hmm.

- Anything?
- Anything.

Well, I definitelywant...

Gummi Bears.

Happy?

Mm-hmm.

You don't look happy.

This is justwhat happy
looks like these days.

Sad?

Grateful.

Thankful too, but-- but sad.

It's--

What? What is it, Max?

All I need is one thing.

One good thing.
And that's you.

I loveyou so much.

[Eddie ]
Max!

- Max, come in here!
- What's happening?

- We're winning. We're winning.
- Look at those wrists, little man.

Those are Larry Bird wrists.

- You know how Larry Bird
got strong wrists like that?
- He uses a fork?

That's right.

Mm. This guy is good.

He's no Larry Bird.

[ Cheering ]
Did you see that?

- Oh, my God! That was like half-court!
- That was awesome!

[Training Off-icer]
Left. Left. Left, right, left.

Left. Left.
Left, right, left.

[ All Chanting ]

[Maren ] When I was a little girl, I used to
dream about being in the White House.

And here you are.

Yeah.

Except--

What?

[ Whispering ]
I was the president.

[ Chuckles ]

I wouldn't be here
without you,Jay.

How do you feel?

Proud.

Scared.

Scared of?

The usual.

Letting myself down,
letting you down.

Letting the world down.

They say that power corrupts.

But what I've learned
is that when people get power...

all it does is allow
them to be who they are.

So, ifthey're a good person,
they become better.

- If not--
- So it's all on me then?

Just the wayyou like it.

They're ready foryou.

Doyouswearto uphold
the Constitution ofthe United States?

- I do.
- And protect your country from all enemies...

- foreign and domestic?
- I do.

I would now like
to officially introduce...

the new special assistant
to the president...

for national security,
Maren Jackson.
