Hey, man. All good, thanks.

Grenade!

Don't move! Don't fucking move!

You!

You're coming with us.

Don't resist! Do it!

There are
indoor-outdoor Jacuzzis

connected to each bedroom,

and yet also protected
from the cold.

Wow.

How about you?
How was your day?

Hang on.

Duty officer.

Okay.

I gotta go. Bye.

This was
two hours ago in Karbala.

Our vehicles, our uniforms.

- And they drove right in?
- Yeah.

Civilian admin center,
lightly guarded.

They wounded
two American soldiers

and captured
two of our liaison officers.

And where are the hostages?

Whoever did this
was heading towards Iran.

Play the intercept.

- That's a Lebanese accent.
- In Iraq?

We have a live feed
near the border.

I'm on my way.
Send in Task Force.

Don't touch anything.

Hey, it's Radwan.

Imad Mughniyeh. 100%.

Aura of mystery
throughout his existence.

Everybody was looking
for Imad Mughniyeh.

But we couldn't find him.

This story, it's one of
the most complicated,

morally ambiguous stories
that I know.

And it then unfolds into,
really, a nightmare story.

He was the absolute
Machiavellian mastermind

of a lot of the violence

against Westerners,
against America,

against fellow Lebanese even.

He is the guy behind everything.

This was yesterday in Karbala.

What do you know
about the team who did this?

I was there.
It looked very professional.

Iran would never do
anything like this.

So, when was the last time
you saw Imad?

Which Imad?

Imad Mughniyeh.

Radwan, Abu Dukhan.

Where did you say you're from?

- Michigan.
- Yeah.

Ah.

These attackers were Lebanese.

And they were trying
to take their hostages

over the border, into Iran.

Now, why would they do that?

Either you're
a Christian Maronite

and you hate me,

or you're a Shia Muslim,

and you need to prove yourself
to your bosses.

My family had to flee Lebanon.

Do you wanna know why?

It's because of people like you.

That's enough.

We brought you here

to ask one simple question
about yesterday.

Yesterday, Lena, in Iraq.

Not to scare off

the Deputy Defense Minister
of Iran,

who, by the way,
is singing like a bird

about their nuclear program.

This is what's important today.

Steve, this is the same group.

This is Radwan, okay?

It's the same guy
from 25 years ago,

same guy
who's outplayed us ever since.

I was there.
You don't need to remind me.

I can pin him to Radwan.
He was his recruiter.

This is our best chance.

So tell me
about your friend Imad.

That's you in the training camp
you set up in Lebanon, right?

Um...

This is all you have?

That was 25 years ago.

What I have is a taxi
ready to dump you back in Iran,

where I understand
General Soleimani

is not willing
to protect you anymore.

How much did you steal?

20 million?

Sixty?

Ali-Reza... come on.

He was your recruit.

I really wanna know.

There he is, our peacemaker.

- Congratulations, Bob.
- Thank you.

Welcome home, Bob.

Robert Ames was revered.

He was a role model.

This is what you wanna be.

You wanna be someone
who is a classically good spy,

but also has
tremendous substance.

Robert Ames was a genuine
American hero in my book.

He was sort of like
the traditional American ideal.

Um, not loud, not pushy,
but tough and smart.

The PLO
are already out of Beirut.

Now, the Israelis
need to leave Lebanon.

We secure the Israeli-Lebanese
border here with UN troops,

and we initiate
peace negotiations

between the Israelis
and the Arabs.

In the meantime,

we consolidate
stability in Lebanon

and eventually push

to disarm the militia
and strengthen the military.

If we play this right,

I'm confident we'll be able
to move all parties

to a genuine two-state solution.

Beautiful.

Got something to say, Dewey?

No. Who can argue
against world peace?

You know what, Dewey, fuck you!

Whoa, Bob, forgive me
for living in the real world.

But this? Again?

This is naive.
This is dangerously naive.

Oh, calm down, everyone.

All right, listen.

President wants this to work,
all right?

He does.

So good work.
Good work, everybody.

Take a breath.

Thanks, John.

Dewey, good work.

All right.

Something you want to tell me?

Yeah, it's about Iran.

Oh. We got
the revolution boxed in.

Don't worry, all right?

Two operatives
close to the Ayatollah

just paid a visit to Lebanon

around the same time
someone purchased

an old colonial police station
in the Bekaa Valley.

And the satellites
are indicating

that it's, uh, being renovated.

I think they're opening
a training camp there

under the auspices
of the Iranian

Revolutionary Guard Corps.

- Oh, Jesus.
- Yeah.

Expand the revolution, yeah.

Attack while
you're most vulnerable.

- So, what do we do?
- We don't fuck it up.

Ames residence.

- Oh, hey. Hi.
- Oh, hi.

How's my favorite city
in the world?

Still beautiful, even after
eight years of civil war.

Hey, uh, bring me back

some of that
fig jam again, will ya?

Fig jam.
It's already on the list.

How are you feeling?

Good. Yeah, good.

What could go wrong, right?

- Short of everything?
- Or nothing.

I'll vote for nothing.

I miss you. I gotta go, though.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

All right, bye.

I wouldn't say he was pro-Arab

or pro-Israeli.

He was a realist.

And there is a way
this could be done,

a genuine two-state solution.

Robert, my friend.

- Good to see you.
- Yeah, good to see you, too.

How is Chairman Arafat?

He was sorry to leave Beirut.

He's waiting
for your next move now.

This is from the President.

A framework of peace.

President.

Where's his signature?

One thing at a time.

And what about the Israelis?

They will withdraw also, right?

We will use all our leverage.

Please tell Chairman Arafat

that the President
is counting on him

to keep things quiet
while the Israelis withdraw.

Yeah. We'll keep quiet.
Yeah, for sure.

But, uh, you see, when, uh...

When Arafat left Beirut, he...

He gave the keys to our armory
to a former bodyguard.

And the thing is, the Iranians
have made contact with him now.

Do you have a name?

He only uses nicknames.

Radwan.

Nothing else.

Slow

Friends, friends.

Thank you. Good evening.

Thank you so much
for coming tonight.

We are here to honor
an historic occasion,

a new President,

and a new opportunity
for Lebanon and the region.

My message from our president

is that we Americans
all sincerely believe

that a just settlement
is possible.

And by just, I mean
one that takes into account

the legitimate needs
off all persons,

all religions, and all factions.

Hear, hear.

That future
is within our grasp now

if we have the courage
to seize the moment.

- To a new Middle East.
- To a new Middle East.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Bachir Gemayel,

the newly-elected
President of Lebanon,

has been assassinated.

Within minutes
of his assassination,

Gemayel's militias
began extracting revenge,

tipping Lebanon
to the breaking point,

and putting America's
regional peace plan

in danger of total collapse.

Perhaps
as many as 1,000 people in all

have been massacred

in two Palestinian
refugee camps in West Beirut.

The United States and Israel,

locked in a grave
policy confrontation

as a result of this weekend's
bloody massacre

of Palestinian civilians
in West Beirut,

considered their
next move today.

Unless Israel moves quickly
and courageously to withdraw,

it will find itself ever more
deeply involved in problems

that are not its own
and which it cannot solve.

President Reagan hopes

the presence
of 800 Marines in Beirut

will stabilize the situation

and pressure Israel to withdraw.

This is all within the context

of the power struggle
in Lebanon.

Various people
are not pro-Khomeini

or anti-American.

The problem is that things are
fundamentally out of control.

I believe nobody is controlling
this area anymore, you know.

Not the Shia, not Iran,

not United States of America,
not the Soviets, nobody.

It's some sort of cocktail.

Cocktail, you know,
a terrorist cocktail.

As the death toll
from this week's massacres

passes 2,000 civilians,

Lebanon's population
is traumatized,

desperate to escape the chaos

that has engulfed
this once-peaceful country.

Commander.

Thank you.

Israel needs to leave Lebanon
as quickly as possible.

We will implement
our peace plan.

Wake up, Robert.

What peace plan
are you talking about?

It died the minute
they killed Bachir.

No, it didn't.
You still have to withdraw...

Uh, let's say... Hey, let's say
we leave Lebanon.

Your president will stop
the shooting on Israel?

Or maybe it will be you, Robert.

Go on, Robert.

Our services need to find a way

to step back from the abyss
and work together.

Abyss.

Mr. Ames,

we value your guidance,
as always.

But there's a feeling
that the Arabists in the CIA

are say, uh, um,

too romantic
about our neighbors.

No, don't insult
my professionalism

or that of my officers.

Our friends are expected
to get on board with our plan,

and those that don't
will pay a very heavy price.

Do I make myself clear?

Yes, you do.

And with all the respect,

you can fuck off, sir.

Meir, can you show our friend
the way out, please?

A huge explosion

flattened the Israeli
military headquarters

in Tyre, Lebanon, today.

At least 28 people were killed,
dozens injured.

Rescue workers
still are digging.

The seven-story building
was reduced to rubble.

The cause of the explosion
is not clear,

but there's speculation
about a gas

or an ammunition explosion.

Mm.

You got anything
new on that explosion in Tyre?

Israelis still say
it was a gas leak.

We're pushing
for a phased withdrawal.

Working north to south.

If they commit, the Israelis
could be out in two weeks.

Are they gonna go for this?

Well, Ken, Reagan's had enough.

Mr. Ames, phone call.

Yeah.
I can take it in my office.

Ames.

Mr. Ames, it's Meir Dagan.

But in the name of jihad,
the self-sacrifice is permitted.

A young kid, ordinary.

Nothing special about him,

except all his family
was killed by our forces.

What about the, uh, recruiter?

Someone who came from Beirut,

but has relatives here.

That's it.

No name, no picture.

Just a nickname, Radwan.

What do your commanders
think of your theory?

That it was a gas leak,

and I might be suffering
from PTSD,

and fuck them.

They're idiots.

Well, we have idiots
at the CIA, too.

I know.

That's his house, Ahmad Qassir.

Robert, these are not the same
terrorists we've known before.

These are fanatics
motivated by Imam Khomeini.

And they will come
for you as well.

Somebody recruited this kid

around here.

But what we need is assets

inside the Iranian
training camp,

here near Baalbek.

Hmm. Bekaa Valley.

That's tough.

Well, I'm sure
you'll find a way.

Gentlemen.

Islamic Jihad.

- What does that mean exactly?
- Holy war.

Oh, Christ.

Okay, so this, uh, kid
blows himself up,

earning a one-way ticket
to paradise.

Why is the Mossad
still saying it's a gas leak?

Because they knew it wasn't.

Didn't wanna make
a hero out of the guy, right?

We need a window
into that training camp.

No, I'm not sending
my case officers to Baalbek,

chasing your crazy-ass theory
about the Ayatollah.

What if Bob's right?

What if it is Iran?

- He's on fire.
- That is a very good...

- No! Pass, pass, pass!
- You okay?

- Yeah.
- Ready? Watch this, guys.

- Oh! Dad!
- Yeah!

Hey! Here.

Dad gets two.

Two for two.

Ames residence.

It's the switchboard.

It's ridiculous.
I can't...

I thought
you told them about family time.

I did.

I'll take it in the office.

Ames.

Bob, listen.

Mossad called, all right?

We're a go on the deal.

What did you
tell those bastards?

I told them the truth.

That's a good one.

Listen, the White House

wants you back
in Beirut now, okay?

Get the Israelis out
and close the deal.

It was just
such a loss of innocence

for the United States,
looking back,

because we felt we were there

as neutral peacekeepers,

and, in fact, we thought...

And we thought
we were the good guys

doing the right thing,

trying to bring peace
to the world,

and we were perceived
instead, locally,

as enemies and combatants.

And we were in a war

we didn't even realize
we were in.

The UN?

They'll monitor
the Israeli troops

on their way out.

Any update
on the new organization,

Islamic Jihad?

We're not sure it's real, Bob.

And the Iranian camps?

Like a black hole.

No assets?

No prospects?

But if Khomeini really did wanna
export his revolution,

why wouldn't he start
here in Lebanon?

This is where the Shia
are being ignored.

I mean, that's what I would do.

All right, gentlemen,
maybe that's, uh, lunch break.

Look, uh...

I know what it's like
to start from nothing.

We've all been there.

It's the hardest thing
for a case officer,

so just hit the streets,
start listening.

Do our job.
