- Flash drive, huh?
- I have rich uncle.

I'm sure
he's handsome as well.

Aslam?

I want to show you
something.

Financial dealings
that i find disturbing.

The colonel is lying.
You were right, son.

(randall)
i've got a source.
Let me talk to him.

- What do you have on ballard?
- You can't.

- It's too hot.
[silenced gunshot]

Al-qaeda.

We only think of one thing,
vengeance.

Hamid can't even look at you
without seeing red.

I'm different--i'm
your only friend in the world.

You will never know the truth
unless you stop this!

[groans]

[speaking foreign language]

Hamid was a fool,
short-sighted.

By killing him,
i have done

The azawad liberation movement
a favor.

So now what?

Now we wait to see
if you live or die.

Aslam.

Pray they find him

And he has this flash drive
you say is so valuable.

They will.

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

Speak english.

Others may disagree about him,
and they'll be angry.

And if it turns out
i've killed him over nothing,

I promise you,

There will be no end
to your suffering.

¶ ¶

On your feet.

On your feet.

[speaking native language]

You have one day.

My men don't find the boy,
you're dead!

[speaking native language]

[speaking native language]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

- [spits]
- [cries out]

You promised.

You said you'd quit,
give notice.

I know.

Things are different now.

I have proof

Of what soc has done,

What they're hiding.

Peter.

They're--they're fronting
terrorism, sarah.

They're killing our own troops
for profit.

Now, i have no idea
how high up this goes,

But i have to find out.

What happened?

How do you all of a sudden
know all of this?

Who have you been
talking to?

That doesn't matter.

It matters to me.

[sighs]

She reached out to me.

Sophia.

You spoke to her.

After everything
we've been through?

I was doing my job, sarah.

Societele asked me to arrange
a meeting with her.

Now i know why.

She has hard evidence,
and now i have it.

She asked for you
specifically.

What--what do you want--
what am i supposed to do?

Say no.

- You know i can't.
- Say no.

You know i can't do that.

Say--let her find
someone else.

You know i can't do that.

Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.

You have to.

Haven't you two
done enough harm already?

I made a mistake
four years ago.

This has nothing
to do with that.

Give it all to ed dixon.

You let the justice department
handle it,

And then you walk away.

I already spoke to ed.

I'm meeting
with him tomorrow.

Okay?
Hey, okay?

Good.

[doorbell rings]

Hey, i just heard.

Oh, anna.

I'm so sorry.

Oh.

Will you get her something
to drink?

- I'm--i'm fine.
- You came at the perfect time.

We were just going
over the funeral details.

Everything needs to be
just right.

Hey, it--it will be.

I haven't even thought
about the eulogy.

Harrison, you--
you'll write it.

Me?
I wouldn't--

I wouldn't know
what to say.

Well, just
talk from your heart, dear.

The newspapers.

Ho, ho, ho, they'll be brutal.

Killed by a jilted mistress.

Such a cliché.

If that's really
how he died.

What are you talking about?

He wasn't having
an affair.

He and i
were working on something.

It was a story.

He was--he was killed
because i--

Harrison,

He was...

Having an affair.

Your father had been
seeing her for a while.

- Um, i should go.
- No, no, no, don't be silly.

The whole world
will know soon enough.

I wasn't happy about it,
harrison.

That said,

We will celebrate his life.

Your father did
great things.

He was a good man down deep.

You think about that,

And you write him
a beautiful eulogy.

[news program theme plays]
- suzanne.

Thought we had a deal.

No news.

They're not talking
about her anymore anyways.

You think you might be able
to go back to school tomorrow?

- Do i have to?
[phone ringing]

- Hello?
- Ron?

This is stephen glen.

Is this a good time?

Sure, hang on.

Go ahead.

(glen)
we've recovered more remains.

The last three soldiers,
including odelle.

They're being flown
to dover air base now.

Are you certain
it's her?

Tissue samples
and dental records confirm.

I'm truly sorry, ron,

But at least
now you have closure.

When can i see her?

My advice, you don't.

There's nothing recognizable,
i'm afraid.

May i make a suggestion?

Okay?

Authorize the army
to cremate her remains.

It'll save you and suzanne
the torment.

All right.

I mean, wait.

Let me think on it, okay?

Is that okay?

- That's fine.
- What's going on?

(glen)
just let me know.

I'll call you.

[sniffles]

[grunting]

Come on.

[speaking native language]

Okay.

Long-lost nephew.

How does a young boy
such as yourself

Arrive at my doorstep
with a bullet wound in his arm?

- There was an accident.
- Oh.

Talk to me.
I can keep a secret.

Oh, beastly people.

No style at all.

What did you do, steal?

Good to know.

What then?

If i tell you,
will you help me?

Depends on the story,
but yes, probably.

The ansar dine
hold my friend prisoner.

She is in trouble.

She?

Do you have a computer?

She was with the americans
who killed abdul abbas.

Abdul abbas?

Why on earth
is she here in bamako?

She was left alone.

My father found her.

He wanted me to sell her
to the ansar dine.

But you refused,
and they shot you.

Sounds heroic.

Yeah, something like that.

She's my friend.

She helped me.

I have a friend.

He's a general
in the malian army.

If anyone can find her,
he can.

How fast can he get here?

Wow, there's the pulitzer.

Your dad knew bill clinton?

Yeah.

Guess they had more in common
than i thought.

Hmm, no family pictures?

Exactly.

How the hell am i
gonna write this eulogy?

I mean, what--
what am i gonna say?

"my father loved two things:

His work
and cheating on my mom"?

He wasn't that bad.

Don't you have
one happy memory of him?

There's got to be something.

My--my--my father

Loved fishing almost as much
as he loved his work,

So when i was a kid, he
used to drag me up to this lake.

I hated it.

My father loved
every minute of it.

He used to try so hard
to catch those fish,

But he never caught anything,

And then one time,

I just completely refused
to put my line in the water.

I just kind of dangled it
off the side of the boat,

And all of a sudden,
this gigantic fish

Jumped out of the water
and right onto my hook.

My dad was so pissed at me.

Hey, i thought
this was a happy memory.

It is for me.

[chuckles]

Hey, john updike.
I love him.

Oh, yeah, so did my dad.

Rabbit series was
his favorite.

Yeah, i can see that.

Rabbit, run.
You ever read it?

No, it's not for me.

I loved it.

I'm tired.

I'm going to bed.

You remember
where the guest room is?

Oh, yeah.
How could i forget?

Your father
and his rules of the house.

[chuckles]

Good night.

[gentle music]

¶ ¶

Your man attacked me.
He would have raped me.

I had no choice
but to protect myself.

Seriously, a spoon.

You--you--
[chuckles]

You killed my man
and escaped with a spoon.

I'd kill you right now
if i wasn't so deeply impressed.

[speaking foreign language]

- English.
- Why do you think i came back?

I told you to speak english.

Ask your men
what happened out there.

I surrendered myself.
Why would i do that?

Osela's
your private military.

Guns for hire.
Why are they here?

Because they want to kill me.

Now they know where i am.
Your men are in danger.

We're not safe.

None of us are.

You're--
they killed my entire unit!

[dramatic music]

¶ ¶

Are you freaked out
about this?

No, not at all.

Glad this happened.

Are you?

No, i'm good.

[knocking on door]
- harrison?

Are you awake?

It's almost--oh!

I'm--i'm sorry,
mrs. Walters.

Looks like
we broke the house rule.

Come down for breakfast.

I'm making french toast.

[laughter]

I need to get dressed.

Mm-hmm.

[water running]

[cell phone ringing]

[speaking native language]

Why is the music so loud?

Best sounds in bamako.

You don't like it?

No.

Are you sure we're related?

- Hello, my darling.
- Ah, the general.

(diallo)
what's the problem?

Who is this?

[choking]

Somebody upstairs
really doesn't like you.

What do you mean?

Close the door.

I got an email this morning

From the senate
judiciary oversight committee.

- It's a sanction letter.
- I know it's a sanction letter.

You might be used to those,
but that's the first one

Of my career.

They just put a target
on my back.

It's nonspecific--how do you
know it's because of me?

Because it happened
after i told sanchez

About your soc document.

Could be a coincidence.

There's no such thing
as coincidence

In the justice department.

[sighs]
so what are you going to do?

Sanchez set a meeting
with me for next week.

- We'll get into it.
- No, no.

That's--that's too late.

Soc is on notice.

They--they're probably
destroying evidence as we speak.

We got to press 'em today.
Now.

I will press them
when the time is right.

- Oh, come on.
- We got a paper trail.

- If there's a case today...
- Hey!

There'll be one
next week too!

You--

You're scared.

I'm sensible.

Maybe that's why
i still work here.

[speaking native language]

[ominous music]

¶ ¶

Psst!

Speak english?

[repeats in foreign language]

Omar, i know this man.

He's dangerous.

[speaking foreign language]

English, odelle ballard.

You're talking to me,
not my men!

We have to go.

No, you can't do that.

You put me out there,
he'll kill me.

You'll never get
the flash drive.

I can still find the boy
and the flash drive.

He doesn't know
what to look for.

I'm the only one who knows.

Perhaps, but is what you're
offering worth the risk?

Hmm?

[distant gunshot]

How does a boy like you
come to know

An american woman soldier?

I met her in the desert.

We helped each other.

She's not in bamako.

An american woman soldier?

Believe me, i would know.

But the ansar dine said
they were bringing her here.

If the ansar dine have her,

Then she's already dead.

If she's alive
and with the ansar dine,

Would you know
where she is?

The safe house.

He's not speaking to you.

You know i'm right.

The ansar dine
have very little say in bamako,

But there is one place
they go to hide.

Tell him.

Why are you being
so stubborn?

[sighs]

Do i need to remind you
what life would be like

If the ansar dine had power?

The sharia law?

How they treat people
like us?

I am not like you.

Right.

I live the truth,
and you don't.

Makes things easier.

I say it in just the way
you like it.

Don't be like this.

Do this
because you love me.

I--i do love you,

But that's not a good enough
reason for me reason to send--

Then do it for yourself.

If you find
this american woman soldier,

If you rescue her, you'll be
on the news around the world.

Why settle
for general diallo?

You could be so much more.

[thunder rumbles]
[rain falling]

[dramatic music]

¶ ¶

Hey, hey, peter!

Where you been?

What do you want, joe?

Oh, nothing.

Just thought you might want
to see this.

What is that?

It's the file
on the gentry murder.

Take a look.

Where the hell
did you get this?

My buddy works
the evidence room

At the 15th precinct.

Does this guy
look familiar?

He's the one
who broke into my car

And took gentry's diary.

All right, so maybe i get
you together with my buddy,

And we id this scumbag.

[sighs]

Look, i told you,

I'm not the bad guy here.

I want to help.

That'd be great.

Anything more on alex baker?

Yeah, it's huge.

Yeah?

I got my hands on a document.

A transfer
of 35 million u.S. From soc

To al-qaeda in north africa.
Yeah.

Those special ops
must have found out about it.

Soc used gentry
to have them killed.

Are you serious?

Yeah, i threw in the evidence
over to the doj,

But they--
they're just sitting on it.

They're afraid.

My friend got sanctioned
by the senate judiciary.

Baker's got influence.

I need to light a fire,
let them know i know.

See what that stirs up.

Thomas darnell from south
carolina runs that subcommittee.

Is that the tom darnell
who ran gbr industries

Before he got elected?

Yeah, pretty sure.
Why?

I know how to get to him.

Tonight.

You own a tux?

Bob, are you there?

Are you insane?

You have no idea
who could be watching.

- Nobody's watching.
- You don't know that.

They killed your father.
Any one of us could be next.

I'm--i'm deeply sorry
for your loss, by the way.

The police said
my father's lover killed him.

The police don't know
anything.

(rose)
who's there?

- Hi, mrs. Offer.
- Harrison!

You two talking business?

Bob, did you offer him any cake?

Oh, he was
just leaving, ma.

You--you can't be here!

You'll get us all killed.

Bob, who are you
talking about

When you say
"they" killed my father?

I mean, do you even know this,
or is this just--

The police think your father's
lady friend killed him, okay?

How do they explain this?

- What am i looking at?
- Your father's mistress.

I did some research.

The woman just bought
a new condo in dallas.

She listed her house
in connecticut for sale.

She even bought airline tickets
to dfw next week,

For crying out loud.

Wait, let me see this.

She's starting a new life.

She wrote emails
to her friends

About a new beginning
without your dad.

A new job.
Look.

She even bought a puppy.

Does that sound
like a suicidal woman?

I don't know.
I mean, she could have--

She was murdered,
harrison.

She was caught in the wrong
place at the wrong time.

[cell phone rings]

Don't answer that.

- It's just ruby.
- No, you're not here.

Bob, no, you need to relax.

Look, your father was killed

Because he asked too many people
too many questions.

You guys even spoke
to that colonel.

The whole thing.

I mean, that woman soldier
may be alive, but if--

If we keep asking questions,
they're gonna kill us too.

- Come on.
- Bob--

- You need to leave.
- I just--let me--

I'm out.

I'm done.
It's too dangerous.

I got my mother
to think about.

Okay.

I get it.

I really do.

Take care of your mom.

(glen)
uh, seeing her--
it's extraordinary.

Terrific--
i'm just so sorry

You didn't get
a chance to--to meet--

Suzanne,
you remember colonel glen.

Hello, suzanne.

Your mother was
a very brave woman.

I loved her very, very much.

I thought you might
want these.

When do i get to see her?

That's not a good idea,
sweetie.

Why not?

I have to see her.

It's not possible,
sweetheart.

Mom was cremated.

How could you--
who told them to do that?

Hey.
Here you go.

I have to get this one right.

Are we talking
about the eulogy?

Yeah.

Your father loved you.

You know that now
more than ever.

[bell on front door rings]

What the hell
is she doing here?

I'm sorry about your father.
Mmm.

Thanks.
It's okay.

How's your mom
doing with--

Sorry, you remember anna,
right?

Girlfriend.
Hey.

I'm sorry to intrude.
I just--

You didn't return my calls, and
i knew you hung out here, so...

Wait, she called you?

- It--
- just to offer my condolences.

It's just so tragic
and unexpected.

Just, you know,
it doesn't make any sense.

Well, suicide rarely does.

Well, could be more
to it than that.

Like what?

Like the other woman
made plans.

She was moving
to a new house, new job.

Wait, how do you know this?

I spoke to bob.

Can i speak to you outside?

Y--
[exhales]

If you think something
happened with your dad,

I can help.

Thanks.
I--i should--

Security's lax
at these things.

- Just act like you belong.
- What is the difference...

Pretend you're worth
a few billion.

(man)
between a hooker and the irs?

You get something
for your money!

Look.

Jon givens
from shearman brothers.

Steve myers
from stone and hopkins.

Every ceo in new york
is here.

Including
alex baker of soc.

(peter)
oh, damn it.

(man)
we're gonna be here all night,
folks.

Keep drinking and eating!

(peter)
there's darnell. Shameless.

Are you kidding?

This place
is crawling with congressmen.

It's how government
works these days.

They're all shameless.

No, no, no!
Not so fast.

But i don't know
if i'll win this year.

- Recognize me, senator?
- Should i?

Tried to have you brought up
on charges last year.

Selective prosecution.

Payback for sending
your friends to jail

For defrauding investors.

Well, hell's bells,
if it isn't...

Peter decker.

Who the hell let you in here?
You look terrible.

Private sector
not agreeing with you?

I'm doing just fine.

Business intelligence
with simons-wachtel.

Good firm.

Well paid, i assume.

I've been investigating
societele mining,

Soc.
Alex baker.

Baker's the best, isn't he?

Did you know
he's a scratch golfer?

He's also a criminal.

Funds terrorists.

Conspired to murder
american soldiers,

But you know all that already,
don't you?

I beg your pardon?

That's why
you're pressuring my friends

At the justice department.

I just wanted to put you
on notice that i know,

And this time--
[clears throat]

This time, senator,

I am going to win.

Well, guess what,
peter decker.

I do not care.

You want to know why?

Because none of this
makes a difference.

Not to these people,

And these people are
the only ones that matter.

[whispers]
pete, pete.

Pete, pete, pete.

Come on, we got to go.
Go.

[laid-back music]

¶ ¶

[both speak french]

You are harboring a fugitive
of the united states government.

Any interference
will bring you great suffering.

United states will employ
every weapon in its arsenal

To retaliate.

That's good.

That's good.

You're a gifted soldier.

A gifted soldier,

But you overestimate
yourself.

You see, your military
will terrorize my people

Whether i kill you or not,

So as you can imagine,

Your life is hanging on
by a very thin thread.

He's not u.S. Military.
He's a gun for hire.

He's a mercenary.

(majors)
i work
for a private contractor.

They work
for the u.S. Government.

This woman is a traitor.

Release her,

Or you face
the consequences.

- Okay.
- Osela wants the flash drive.

That's why you killed
my entire unit to get it.

Ask him who he really works for.

Is it soc?

Is it?
Is it soc?

You're a dead woman.

[helicopter blades whirring]

Omar.

[gasps]

My name is odelle ballard,

Sergeant first class
of the united states army--

Praise allah!

You are alive!

I have come to rescue you.

When will you hear
from the general?

When he decides to call.

Don't worry.

He always decides to call.

How did you become friends
with a general

In the malian army?

First answer me, honestly.

Why do you care so much about
this female american soldier?

Hmm?

I don't know.

I just do.

Yes.

Not everything fits
into a neat little box, aslam.

Sometimes we care about people
that we shouldn't care about.

But what you do with the general
is a sin against allah.

Is that what you think?

I saw you kiss him
like a woman.

It's disgusting.

I need to buy cigarettes.

Hello again.

I never wanted to be
like my father.

Sure, he was successful,

A celebrated writer,

Pulitzer prize winner.

He had great instincts
for finding the truth,

And he dedicated
his entire life to it.

Problem was,
i barely knew him,

And then suddenly...

He was gone.

Like my father,

I keep my distance too

From the ones
i care about most.

I do love them,

The same way i now know
that my father loved me.

He just...

Didn't know
how to show it.

And now that
i understand that,

I'm not going to make
the mistakes he made.

I'm gonna to dedicate my life
to showing the people...

¶ i don't know how
you house the sin ¶

I love
how much i love them,

No matter what.

¶ but you're free now ¶

But i'm also like my father
in the good ways.

I, too, follow my instincts.

I, too, have a need
to find the truth,

And i'll devote my life
to finding it...

No matter what.

¶ heavenly father ¶

¶ ¶

Thanks, dad.

I love you too.

Hey, diane.

I'm so sorry.

That was a hell of a eulogy,
young man.

Your father would be
very proud.

He certainly will be
when i'm done.

Well, you know
where to reach me

If there's anything
i can ever do.

I think i know
who killed your father.

I wasn't here.

[voice mail] hey, you've reached
sergeant odelle ballard.

I'll be out of touch
for the next few weeks,

So leave me a message,
and i'll call you back

As soon as i can.

And if this is you, suzie q,

I miss you, and i'll be home
before you know it.

Okay, i love you.

Give your dad a big,
slobbery kiss for me, okay?

[kissing]

Hey, it's me again.

I just wanted
to say that...

I miss you, mama, so much,

And dad says it'll get
less and less every day, but...

He's wrong.

It's getting worse.

[static on phone connection]

Hello?

Is someone there?

Hello?

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

[sighs]

Do you have a cell phone?

Of course!

Who would you like to call?

[phone ringing]

Colonel glen.

(odelle)
colonel?

It's odelle.

I'm alive.
