PREVIOUSLY ON SLEEPER CELL.

BUREAU IS OFFERING A TEACHING JOB.

FBI ACADEMY?

DO YOU REMEMBER BENITO VELASQUEZ?

CONVERTED IN PRISON, STUDIED WITH LIBRARIAN.

Patrice Serxner: VELASQUEZ WAS RELEASED A FEW MONTHS AGO.

Darwyn Al-Sayeed: SO YOU WANT ME TO CHECK HIM OUT?

YOU ARE A TRUE BELIEVER AND A LOYAL SOLDIER.

Darwyn: ANY NEWS ON MY BUDDY, FARIK?

DID THEY BREAK HIM YET?

I'M GONNA TRY TO MAKE IT TO CANADA. YOU CAN COME WITH ME.

I'M THE SHEIKH OF A GROUP OF MUJAHEDIN WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS

TO AVENGE OUR DEFEAT IN LOS ANGELES.

SALIM IS MY RIGHT HAND. HE'S AN ENGINEER FROM IRAQ.

I'M MINA.

SINCE WHEN DO WE INVOLVE WOMEN IN OUR OPERATIONS?

SINCE WHEN DO WE NOT?

WHY WOULD AN EX-CON

BE MEETING WITH HIS PAROLE OFFICER,

WHEN HE'S SUPPOSE TO BE HIDING FROM EVERY COP IN THE COUNTRY?

Man: WHAT COMMUNICATION WE CAN GET FROM

WHOEVER IS ON THE OTHER END OF THAT AUTHENTICATOR CARD,

THE HIGHER UP WE CAN MOVE IN THE AL-QAEDA CHAIN OF COMMAND.

GET MY CASE AGENT BACK FROM THE SEDAN AND LET'S GET FOCUSED.

LADIES, I DON'T HAVE...

OVER HERE. PATRICE! PATRICE!

Man: WE NEED A NEW VISA. IT SHOULD BE ME.

I WAS THE ONE WITH THE MOST EXPERIENCE, HUH?

I CAN'T TAKE THAT JOB IN QUANTICO, NOT YET.

FBI agent: IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, IT'S GOING TO BE ALL OVER CNN.

[SCREAMING]

ALLAHU AKBAR.

***

[MAN SPEAKING ARABIC]

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

BROTHER OF HAKIM.

ALLAH HAS RETURNED YOU TO US.

YOUR LOYALTY HAS NOT GONE UNNOTICED.

AFTER BROTHER KHALID'S DEATH YOU COULD HAVE DISAPPEARED,

BUT YOU HAVE DONE WELL KEEPING HIS FOLLOWERS TOGETHER.

WE WILL NEED THEM.

AND WE WILL NEED YOU AS WELL.

I THINK YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING TOO MUCH MAD DOG 20/20, OLD MAN.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

OF COURSE YOU DON'T.

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

* CAN YOU FEEL THE BURNING? FEEL THE TWISTING AND THE TURNING *

* CAN YOU FEEL YOUR STOMACH CHURNING-- *

AGENT AL-SAYEED.

WARREN RUSSELL, YOUR NEW CASE AGENT.

HOW OLD ARE YOU, MAN? 24, 25?

27, NEXT MONTH.

BUT I SPENT THE LAST 5 YEARS AT ITOS,

SO I HAVE BEEN DOING NOTHING BUT COUNTER TERRORISM SINCE '01.

LISTEN, UM, I KNOW THAT THING THAT HAPPENED

WITH YOUR FORMER CASE AGENT,

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE A SHOCK.

AGENT SERXNER. WHAT?

SHE HAD A NAME. PATRICE SERXNER.

AND IT WASN'T A THING THAT HAPPENED TO HER,

SHE WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD

ON THE FUCKING INTERNET. DON'T DANCE AROUND...

NO, HEY, HEY. OF COURSE NOT, OKAY?

JUST WANT TO SAY I'M SORRY.

THE BASE IS SENDING ME INSTRUCTIONS

ON A MOVING WEB PAGE.

THE URLS ARE TRANSMITTED ON ONE OF THESE.

NOW KHALID HAD ONE OF THESE ON HIM.

THIS IS A NEW ONE.

I NEED YOU GET THE I.T. GUYS AND CLONE THAT CHIP.

OKAY. THIS IS FROM THE HOMELESS GUY?

YEAH. THERE'S ALSO 3 ADDRESSES HERE,

FOR DECOMMISSIONED HOSPITALS IN L.A. COUNTY.

I'M SUPPOSE TO SECURE ONE AS AN OPERATIONAL BASE.

WELL, YOU LET ME KNOW ONCE YOU LOCK ONE OF THESE DOWN.

THEN WE'LL BLANKET THE PLACE WITH VIDEO-AUDIO SURVEILLANCE.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE?

WHO'S EVER ON THE OTHER END OF THAT THING,

THEY WANT ME TO GET AN FIM-92B.

SHOULDER-LAUNCH SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILE.

THEY WANT YOU TO SHOOT DOWN A PLANE?

IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL. BESIDES, THE BIG PROBLEM IS,

EVERYONE IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, THEY ALL KNOW

HOW HARD THE USG HAS CLAMPED DOWN ON LIVE STINGERS.

SO? SO, THIS MAY BE A TEST,

AND I DON'T WANNA PASS.

I MANAGE TO COME UP WITH A LEGIT FIM-92B,

I'M EITHER THE LUCKIEST TERRORIST ON THE PLANET OR...

A GOVERNMENT AGENT. RIGHT, RIGHT, GOT IT, OKAY.

SO, WHAT DO YOU DO?

SEE IF YOU CAN HELP ME OUT WITH A RUSSIAN SA-7 GRAIL

OR A SA-18 GROUSE MANPAD.

KEEP MY CREDIBILITY INTACT,

SHOW HIM I COULD STILL DELIVER THE GOODS

BUT IT WON'T BLOW MY COVER.

OKAY.

RUSSIAN MAN-PORTABLE SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILE.

JESUS. TOO BAD I JUST SENT MY LAST ONE OUT.

[CLEARS THROAT] THAT'S IT?

THEN WE GOT TO STEP UP OPERATIONAL SECURITY

AND CHANGE THE MEETING PLACE.

THE HOMELESS GUY, HE KNOWS WHERE I'M LIVING.

HE COULD EASILY BE UP ON THIS LOCATION TOO.

RIGHT. OKAY, GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.

OH, AND HEY, DARWYN, LOOK, MAN...

I KNOW HOW THIS GOES, OKAY?

MY JOB IS TO CONTROL THE U.C. AND CONTROL THE CASE

BUT WE BOTH KNOW YOU'RE THE ONE RUNNING THIS OPERATION, RIGHT?

AND THE REAL REASON THE DIRECTOR BROUGHT ME IN

IS BECAUSE EVERYBODY IN THE L.A. OFFICE THINKS THIS JOB IS CURSED

BUT YOU AND I,

WE'RE GOING TO PROVE THEM WRONG.

***

[BUZZER]

[LOCK CLANKING]

AS-SALAAM ALAIKUM.

ALAIKUM AS-SALAAM.

I'M LIEUTENANT HAYAT.

I'M A MUSLIM CHAPLAIN.

ALLAH HAVE MERCY ON YOU.

AND YOU AS WELL.

BROTHER...

WILL YOU PRAY WITH ME?

I'VE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO LEAD YOU IN SALAT AL-JUMA.

COME ON. I'LL UNDO YOUR SHACKLES, HUH?

* WHEN THE PISTOLS POP-POP PEOPLE DROP AROUND HERE *

[RAP CONTINUES, INDISTINCT]

SO, WHO'S THE GUY?

OKAY, HIS NAME'S SARAB HASSANI, HE'S A PAKISTANI NATIONAL.

HE USED TO SELL ARMS TO THE MUJAHEDIN

AGAINST THE SOVIETS IN AFGHANISTAN.

HE'S LIVING IN L.A. NOW AND OUR INFORMANTS SAY

THAT HE'S BACK AT WORK, BROKERING DEALS FOR TERRORISTS.

NOW, ITOS HAS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION ON THIS GUY

AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO DO A STING.

SO, HE SELLS YOU THE MISSILES, THEY PICK HIM UP,

EVERYONE'S HAPPY. NO WAY.

IT'S TOO RISKY.

THERE ARE AGENTS EVERYWHERE, CAMERAS, RECORDING DEVICES,

IT COULD BLOW THE ENTIRE OPERATION.

WELL, THE DECISION'S ALREADY BEEN MADE FROM ON HIGH.

SO, I'M SORRY, THERE'S JUST NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT NOW.

RUSSELL, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE MY BACK, MAN,

NOT TRY AND LOAN ME OUT TO OTHER CASES.

FUCK.

OKAY.

HOW DO I FIND HASSANI?

HOW IS SAMIA?

Hayat: SAMIA?

MY WIFE.

SHE'S IN U.S. CUSTODY. I THOUGHT PERHAPS YOU SPOKE WITH HER.

HOW MANY MUSLIM CHAPLAINS CAN THE U.S. POSSIBLY HAVE?

WE COULD ALWAYS USE MORE.

I COULD PROBABLY LOCATE HER FOR YOU,

BUT YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR PART AS WELL.

AND HELP THE AMERICANS?

IF THEY CAN'T GET ANYTHING FROM YOU HERE,

THEY WON'T HESITATE TO SEND YOU OVERSEAS,

WHERE THE INTERROGATORS WON'T BE SO HUMANE.

ONCE YOU ARE OUT OF AMERICAN HANDS, I CAN'T HELP YOU.

I HAVE A DEATH SENTENCE WAITING FOR ME IN SAUDI ARABIA.

DON'T GIVE THEM REASON TO SEND YOU AWAY.

NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF IT.

Darwyn: I'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION

WITH OUR SENIOR BROTHERS.

THEY WANT EVERYTHING RUNNING SMOOTHLY

AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED TO KHALID.

Darwyn: WE HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE.

THEIR JUDGMENT WOULD BE UPON US VERY SOON.

BENNY, I NEED YOU AND MINA TO SECURE

A NEW BASE OF OPERATIONS.

THERE ARE 3 DECOMMISSIONED HOSPITALS ON THAT PLAN.

I THINK I'VE GOT AN IDEA OF HOW WE CAN RENT ONE OUT

FOR A FEW MONTHS.

SALIM...

YOU'RE RIDING WITH ME.

***

HEY, DARWYN. BLACK GUY AND ARAB GUY DRIVING AROUND L.A.

WHO DO YOU THINK THE COPS WOULD RODNEY KING FIRST?

YOU GOT ME.

WELL, IN THE U.K. THEY ALWAYS GO AFTER THE PAKI.

PAKI?

I THOUGHT YOUR FAMILY WAS FROM IRAQ.

NO, IT DON'T MATTER. I'M STILL A FUCKIN' PAKI TO 'EM.

DO THEY CALL YOU THAT TO YOUR FACE?

ALL THE TIME.

ONCE, BACK IN SECONDARY SCHOOL, I GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT

WITH A MATE OF MINE AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.

AS HE TURNED AWAY,

I HEARD HIM SAY UNDER HIS BREATH...

"BLOODY PAKI."

SO I SHOVED HIM TO THE GROUND.

AS HE'S LYING THERE, I THINK TO MYSELF

THERE'S SO MANY WAYS I CAN HAVE THIS FUCKING GUY RIGHT NOW.

WHAT WOULD HE REMEMBER MOST?

BROKEN BONES HEAL, RIGHT?

BUT TEETH...

TEETH DON'T GROW BACK.

SO I USED MY BEST PENALTY KICK AND I KNOCKED OUT 3 IN ONE GO.

***

IS THIS YOUR FRONT?

FRONT?

THIS IS THE FINEST HALAL BUTCHER SHOP IN AMERICA.

I COULD RETIRE FROM THE PROFITS ON MY SHOP ALONE

BUT I HAVE A LEGACY TO UPHOLD.

YEAH, I HEARD YOU HELPED TAKE DOWN THE SOVIETS IN AFGHANISTAN.

I DID MORE THAN HELP.

I WON THE WAR FOR THE MUJAHEDIN.

WITHOUT HASSANI, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD NO GRENADES,

NO MACHINE GUNS,

NOT TO MENTION TANKS.

THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

WHEN I OPENED MY BUTCHER SHOP IN THE U.S.,

I THOUGHT I LEFT THE ARMS BUSINESS BEHIND,

BUT ISLAM IS UNDER ATTACK, THE WORLD IS AT WAR,

AND ONE CANNOT FIGHT A WAR WITHOUT THE PROPER WEAPONS.

THAT IS WHY HASSANI HAS COME OUT OF RETIREMENT

TO OFFER HIS SERVICES.

I'M GONNA NEED SOME VERY, UH, SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT.

NO PROBLEM, I'LL HAVE IT TO YOU IN 48 HOURS.

YOU REALIZE I'M TALKING ABOUT A SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILE, RIGHT?

OF COURSE. I STILL HAVE CONTACTS IN THE ARMS WORLD

THAT BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT PATH.

I WILL NOT LIE TO YOU.

THE MISSILE WILL BE EXPENSIVE TO OBTAIN, BUT HASSANI CAN.

I'LL NEED 10% IN CASH UP FRONT.

BRING IT TOMORROW OR THE DEAL IS OFF.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MS. BISHOP? YEAH.

HI, I'M WARREN RUSSELL WITH THE FBI.

I'M A COLLEAGUE OF DARWYN AL-SAYEED'S.

HI. HI.

DARWYN'S NOT HERE. OH, I KNOW, I KNOW.

DID ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HIM?

OH GOSH, NO, NO. NO, HE'S FINE. HE'S FINE.

NO, I'M ACTUALLY HERE TO SEE YOU. MAY I COME IN?

YEAH, YEAH. THANK YOU.

COME IN.

COME THROUGH HERE.

SIT DOWN. THANK YOU.

OH, SORRY. OH, THAT'S--

THAT'S OKAY. SORRY.

I'M JUST CATCHING UP ON SOME PAPERWORK

THAT INVOLVES YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SPECIAL AGENT AL-SAYEED.

WHAT, YOU GUYS ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW US TO DATE ANYMORE?

IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS. NO, BUT THIS IS, THIS IS AN NDA.

NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT. FOR YOU TO SIGN.

SO YOU'RE THE ONLY CIVILIAN THAT HAS ANY KNOWLEDGE

OF AGENT AL-SAYEED'S UNDERCOVER WORK.

SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD WANT TO SAFEGUARD

AGAINST ANY INFORMATION LEAKS.

OH, WELL, I WOULD NEVER SAY ANYTHING TO ANYBODY.

OF COURSE NOT, I UNDERSTAND. ALL THE SAME, THOUGH,

WE GOT TO HAVE IT IN WRITING, SO, YOU KNOW,

JUST PUT YOUR SIGNATURE ON THE LAST PAGE THERE.

THIS IS JUST A WRITTEN GUARANTEE THAT YOU WON'T REVEAL ANYTHING

THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT AGENT AL-SAYEED'S ACTIVITIES.

YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION IF YOU DO.

WHAT--PROSECUTION?

MM-HM. BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT,

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. UNLESS YOU PLAN TO GO ON

OPRAH OR SOMETHING.

HA!

JUST ON THE BOTTOM THERE. OH, OKAY. OH, HERE.

Woman: OKAY, WATCH YOUR STEP RIGHT HERE.

SEE, AFTER THE QUAKE IN '94,

A LOT OF THESE BUILDINGS FAILED INSPECTION

AND SOME COMPANIES FELT IT WAS EASIER TO JUST MOVE

THAN TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, RETROFIT THE WHOLE STRUCTURE.

BUT NOW IT'S THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR YOUR HORROR MOVIE.

DON'T YOU THINK?

YEAH. YEAH?

OKAY, SO WHAT'S IT CALLED? BECAUSE I LOVE SCARY MOVIES.

IT'S, UH, IT'S CALLED KILL TEAM.

IT'S SORT OF A HORROR/ACTION FLICK.

THAT'S THE WORKING TITLE.

YEAH. IT'S ABOUT HOW THE GOVERNMENT'S BEEN GENETICALLY

ALTERING SOLDIERS TO BECOME ELITE KILLING MACHINES.

THE ONLY TROUBLE IS THEY DID TOO GOOD OF A JOB.

SO WHEN THE CIA COMES IN AND TRY TO TAKE 'EM OUT,

TRIES TO EXECUTE 'EM, THEY COME BACK TO LIFE.

AND WHO DO THEY GO FOR WHEN THEY WAKE UP IN THE MORGUE? HUH?

THE NURSES.

OH! YEAH.

COULD WE SEE THE ROOF?

NO PROBLEM, JUST FOLLOW ME.

Hassani: YOU ARE SURE YOU DON'T WANT SOME RUGS?

PERSIAN, ANATOLIAN, WHATEVER YOU LIKE.

I CAN GET YOU GENUINE SEIRAFIAN.

NO, I'M FINE, DAD.

YOU'LL NEVER FIND A WIFE IF YOU DON'T LEARN TO DECORATE.

SHOW PEOPLE YOU HAVE TASTE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T HAVE DRIVEN ALL THE WAY OUT HERE

JUST TO VISIT.

A FATHER CAN'T MISS HIS OWN SON?

COME ON, DAD, WHAT IS IT?

IS THE SHOP OKAY?

SO-SO.

[HELICOPTER PASSING OVERHEAD]

EVERYBODY IS A VEGETARIAN NOW. YEAH.

MAYBE I'LL SELL IT SOON.

BUT YOU LOVE THAT SHOP.

HOW ELSE CAN I PAY FOR RETIREMENT? I'M IN DEBT.

HOW MUCH? HOW MUCH?

IT'S NOT YOUR WORRY.

I HAVE DECIDED TO GO BACK TO THE OLD BUSINESS.

NO. NO, DAD. DAD.

I'M A U.S. MARINE.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO HEAR IT.

JUST ONE DEAL, ONE DEAL, AND I CAN RETIRE.

VISIT MY SON. ONE DAY MAYBE EVEN SEE MY GRANDCHILDREN.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO HEAR IT.

RUSSIAN SA-18 GROUSE SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILE.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?

IT'S FOR A COLLECTOR.

BIG ESTATE IN ARIZONA.

TO MOUNT ABOVE THE FIREPLACE.

HE'LL NEVER USE IT. IT'S FINE.

IT'S FINE? IT'S FUCKING ILLEGAL.

AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO GET

SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ANYHOW?

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU ARE ASKING ME?

I KNOW THE U.S. MILITARY HAS STOCKPILES OF FOREIGN WEAPONS.

OH, YOU HAVE COMPLETELY LOST IT.

DO YOU KNOW, I ALMOST DIDN'T PASS MY BACKGROUND CHECK

BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR FUCKED-UP PAST?

AND NOW YOU'RE HERE AND THREATENING MY CAREER

ALL OVER AGAIN.

WHAT I SHOULD DO IS PICK UP THE PHONE AND REPORT YOU TO THE FBI.

PLEASE, OMAR...

FOR YOUR FATHER.

I'LL NEVER ASK ANYTHING OF YOU AGAIN.

I HAVE WORK TO DO.

YOU CAN LET YOURSELF OUT.

FOR YOUR SAKE AND MINE,

THIS CONVERSATION NEVER HAPPENED.

WHAT'S COOKING? OH-HO!

MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH SLICED HOT DOGS

IN HONOR OF OUR LAST NIGHT IN AMERICA.

I'M SURE YOU'LL MAKE IT TASTE GOOD.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

HEY! WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

FROM A BACKPACKER DOWN THE TRAIL. SOME GERMAN GUY.

IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT.

WHAT IF A COP SAW YOU BUYING DRUGS?

WHAT IF THAT WAS A COP SELLING IT TO YOU?

COME ON, IT'S JUST POT.

IT'S ENOUGH TO GET US ARRESTED

AND IT'S ENOUGH TO FUCK EVERYTHING UP

AND WE'RE 5 MILES FROM THE CANADIAN BORDER. SHIT.

JESUS, ILIJA.

SEE, THIS IS THE KIND OF PARANOIA

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PUTS INTO PEOPLE. YES.

U.S. GOVERNMENT, CORPORATIONS, THE CHURCH,

THEY ARE ALL OUT TO CONTROL YOU THROUGH FEAR.

WE'RE JUST HAVING A GOOD TIME. WE'RE NOT HURTING ANYBODY.

THAT FEAR SPOILS EVERYTHING.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY INTO IT.

I DON'T. COME ON, GET HIGH WITH ME.

ONE LAST CHANCE TO TELL THIS COUNTRY TO KISS YOUR ASS

BEFORE WE LEAVE.

OH...

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? HELP ME PACK UP.

WE'RE LEAVING. WHAT?

YOU PUT US IN DANGER. WE HAVE TO GO.

YOU'RE CRAZY. NO!

JUST DRIVEN BY FEAR.

GOT THE BEST DRY CLEANER IN THE CITY

SO THE BILLS ARE UNTRACEABLE.

VERY GOOD.

WHO'S YOUR ASSOCIATE?

MY BACKUP.

CARRYING TEN GRAND IN CASH IS RISKY BUSINESS.

WE'RE STILL ON SCHEDULE?

THIS IS A VERY HARD-TO-FIND PIECE YOU ASKED FOR.

MY SOURCES IN CALIFORNIA ARE TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT.

YOU'RE SOLD OUT? BUT...

I HAVE ANOTHER SOURCE WHO WILL SHIP THEM IN FROM OUT OF STATE,

ESPECIALLY FOR HASSANI.

THERE MAY BE SMALL DELAY BUT THEY WILL BE HERE VERY SOON.

YOU HAVE MY WORD.

YOUR LAST WORD WAS 48 HOURS.

RELAX, HASSANI WON THE WAR FOR THE AFGHANS.

HE WILL WIN THE WAR FOR YOU.

REMEMBER, THE BEST PRODUCTS ALWAYS TAKE A BIT LONGER.

MY SUIT, 8 MONTHS.

MR. DARWYN, A GIFT FOR YOU.

OUR MOST SELECT HALAL LAMB CHOPS.

THE FINEST IN THE COUNTRY. GRILL THEM UP, YOU WILL SEE.

HASSANI DOES NOT LIE.

I MADE SOME INQUIRIES FOR YOU ABOUT YOUR WIFE.

AND I FLOATED THE IDEA OF A MEETING BETWEEN YOU AND HER.

AND?

THEY SAY THEY WOULD CONSIDER IT IF YOU'LL FINALLY COOPERATE.

BROTHER, REMEMBER WHAT THE HOLY QU'RAN SAYS.

REPEL EVIL WITH THAT WHICH IS BETTER,

THEN YOUR ENEMY WILL BECOME YOUR TRUSTED FRIEND.

MY WIFE IS INNOCENT.

SHE'S DONE NOTHING.

LISTEN, THE PROSPECT OF SEEING HER AGAIN

WOULD HAVE BEEN UNTHINKABLE A MONTH AGO.

NOW IT'S A REAL POSSIBILITY.

THIS IS A VICTORY FOR YOU, SEIZE IT.

[ROARS]

[SHRIEKING]

THERE WAS A CONTINGENCY PLAN IN PLACE.

IF WE EVER NEEDED TO HIDE OUT OR FLEE THE COUNTRY.

THE YMCA IN HOPE STREET, DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES, LOCKER 67.

YOU WILL FIND EVERYTHING IN THERE.

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

[SOBBING]

***

HI, MOM.

LISTEN, JANET, THE KIDS JUST GOT HOME.

I WILL SEE YOU AT THE BENEFIT.

OKAY, BYE.

YOU TOOK THEM SHOPPING?

I THOUGHT YOU SAID THEY COULD USE NEW OUTFITS.

YOU GOT THEM TO SIT STILL LONG ENOUGH TO TRY ON CLOTHES?

WELL, I BRIBED THEM WITH BEN & JERRY'S.

MINA LET ME HAVE A BROWNIE SUNDAE.

I KNOW. YOU HATE THOSE, DON'T YOU?

I HAD LOW-FAT FROZEN YOGURT.

LENNY ROSEN'S MOM SAYS ICE CREAM GIVES YOU HIPS.

THEY HAD A GREAT SALE IN BURBERRY'S.

I GOT A KILT FOR DAKOTA

AND A NOVA CHECK BUTTON-DOWN AND KHAKIS FOR CODY.

THAT IS TOO CUTE.

IS THAT EVERYTHING, THEN, MRS. ROSSMAN?

OH. YOU'RE NOT COMING WITH US TONIGHT?

COME ON, MINA. IT'S GOING TO BE SO BORING.

PLEASE.

I CAN'T.

I HAVE A DATE.

OOH! WHO'S THE LUCKY GUY?

WELL, IT'S MORE LIKE A FIRST MEETING. COFFEE. WE MET ONLINE.

BE CAREFUL, MINA, THERE'S A LOT OF PSYCHOS ON THE INTERNET.

I WILL. THANK YOU.

Mina: THERE ARE SECURE STORAGE FACILITIES, MEETING ROOMS,

PLENTY OF BEDS IF YOU NEED TO SLEEP HERE.

THERE IS ALSO A COURTYARD ENTRANCE HIDDEN FROM THE STREET

WHERE WE CAN LOAD AND UNLOAD CARGO.

AND THE ROOFTOP, IT'S VERY DEFENSIBLE.

WE CAN MAKE A LAST STAND THERE IF NEED BE.

HOLD OFF AUTHORITIES FOR HOURS, MAYBE DAYS.

THESE LAMB CHOPS ARE THE SHIT, MAN.

AT LEAST HASSANI IS GOOD FOR SOMETHING.

HEY, BOSS.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR BOYS DOES

AFTER HE LEAVES THE BUTCHER SHOP?

DON'T REALLY CARE, AS LONG AS HE GETS US THE GOODS.

DRIVES A CAB.

HOW MANY ARMS DEALERS DO YOU KNOW WHO DRIVE A FUCKING CAB?

HOW MANY HOLY WARRIORS DO YOU KNOW

WHO WORK AS NANNIES,

OR RUN A GROCERY STORE IN EAST L.A.?

HMM?

IT'S CALLED A COVER.

AND, INSHALLAH, YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD ONE.

FOLLOWING HIM AROUND AT NIGHT, HE'S PROBABLY MADE YOU ALREADY.

LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL OF YOU.

WE CANNOT AFFORD ANY MISTAKES.

UNDERSTOOD?

YOU TOO BUSY TO RETURN MY CALL?

MR. DARWYN, PLEASE.

WHERE ARE MY GOODS?

GOODS, BADS, INDIFFERENT. IT IS COMING, MY FRIEND.

JUST SOME DELAYS, VERY SMALL.

I WORK NONSTOP TO GET THEM FOR YOU.

I KNOW YOU WORK NONSTOP IN THIS CAB TILL 2 IN THE MORNING.

HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT HELP ME?

I... HOW?!

I AM LEGITIMATE, I SWEAR.

SHIT! WHO'S YOUR SOURCE?

WHO'S SUPPLYING THE MATERIAL?

I CAN'T TELL YOU. THESE MEN ARE VERY POWERFUL.

THEY WILL KILL ME. I OUGHTA KILL YOU RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU KILL ME THEN YOU WILL NEVER GET YOUR WEAPON, OKAY.

IT'LL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. NO! NO, PLEASE! PLEASE.

I--I NEED TO MAKE THE SALE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU BEING A BIG-TIME ARMS DEALER?

I WAS. AMERICANS HELPED MAKE ME RICH.

SO, I TAKE MY FAMILY TO U.S., OPENED A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS.

BUT THINGS DON'T WORK OUT THE WAY I PLAN.

WE WERE WEALTHY IN PAKISTAN, WE'RE POOR IN AMERICA.

I WAS AN IMPORTANT PERSON, MR. DARWYN.

NOW I DRIVE A TAXI AND SELL LAMB CHOPS

BECAUSE THAT IS ALL I CAN DO IN THIS COUNTRY.

THIS IS NOT HASSANI.

I CAN HELP YOU.

PLEASE, JUST GIVE ME THE CHANCE.

FUCK. FUCK.

MY CONTACTS ARE STILL GOOD.

MY--MY SON, HE IS A U.S. MARINE, VERY HIGH RANK.

HE'S GETTING THE MISSILE FOR ME.

YOU WILL HAVE IT, I SWEAR.

I JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME, PLEASE.

* WHAT ISN'T CRIME IS LIKE WHAT ISN'T RHYME *

* SO PASS THE JOINT--

[RAP CONTINUES, INDISTINCT]

HE'S A DUD, A FRAUD. HE IS A CON ARTIST.

DID YOU EVEN CHECK INTO THIS GUY?

WHAT?

INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM OPERATION SECTION

SENT HIM TO US.

DID YOU CHECK HIM OUT PERSONALLY?

LOOK, RUSSELL, THE WAY THIS WORKS

IS YOU'RE MY LAST LINE OF DEFENSE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU CHECK INTO THIS GUY'S BACKGROUND?

HE CLAIMS HIS SON CAN SLIP HIM AN SA-18, NO PROBLEM.

DOES THAT SOUND CREDIBLE TO YOU?

OUR INFORMANT SAID HE'S STILL A BIG-TIME ARMS DEALER.

YOUR INFORMANTS ARE GIVING YOU BULLSHIT INFORMATION

AND WE'RE THE ONES GETTING FUCKED.

MAYBE 20 YEARS AGO THIS GUY WAS A PLAYER

BUT THESE DAYS HE'S LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD.

YOU'LL BE LUCKY IF HE CAN BUY A FUCKING HANDGUN.

WHY THE HELL DID HASSANI AGREE TO BROKER A DEAL FOR YOU, THEN?

THIS POOR MOTHERFUCKER STILL THINKS

HE CAN GET BACK IN THE GAME.

EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY WITHOUT THAT MISSILE,

I'M LOSING CREDIBILITY.

BUT, HEY, EVEN IF HASSANI ISN'T THE REAL DEAL,

MAYBE WE CAN TURN HIM INTO THE REAL DEAL.

[DOOR SLAMS]

YOU'VE GOT TWO MINUTES.

STICK TO ENGLISH OR WE'LL CUT YOU OFF QUICKER

THAN YOU CAN BLINK.

SAMIA.

SAMIA, HOW ARE THEY TREATING YOU?

I'M FINE. THEY HAVEN'T MISTREATED ME.

I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN A LAWYER YET.

WHY HASN'T SHE SEEN A LAWYER? SHE'S DONE NOTHING.

Samia: ONLY YOU CAN HELP US.

I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO ASMAD IN MONTHS.

THEY WON'T TELL ME WHERE SHE IS.

I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU,

BUT OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN DESTROYED.

YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG, SAMIA.

Samia: THINK OF OUR DAUGHTER.

SHE'S JUST A CHILD. IMAGINE WHAT THEY CAN DO TO HER.

DON'T LET THEM USE OUR DAUGHTER AS A BARGAINING CHIP.

SHE LIVES IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. THEY CAN'T TOUCH HER.

ALLAH WILL PROTECT HER.

YOU'RE HER FATHER. YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE PROTECTING HER.

IF YOU HAD MARTYRED YOURSELF ON THAT DAY,

AT LEAST WE COULD BE IN MOURNING.

[SOBBING] BUT NOW WE ARE LOST.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S DAY OR IF IT'S NIGHT.

THEY KEEP ASKING ME QUESTIONS I CAN'T ANSWER.

ONLY YOU CAN STOP THIS.

SAMIA, YOU'RE LETTING THEM POISON YOU.

SAMIA, LOOK AT ME.

LOOK AT ME, LOOK IN MY EYES.

DID YOU EVER THINK YOU WOULD BE LOOKING AT MY FACE AGAIN?

NO.

NO, IT'S TRUE. I DIDN'T.

10 SECONDS, SAY GOODBYE.

BE BRAVE, SAMIA.

Cop: TIME'S UP.

SHE'S A GOOD-LOOKING WOMAN.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE SEES IN YOU.

SO YOUR FATHER EXPLICITLY STATED TO YOU

THAT HE INTENDED ON COMMITTING A FEDERAL OFFENSE,

ONE THAT COULD ENDANGER THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS,

EVEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND YOU FELT NO NEED TO REPORT IT?

YOU DON'T KNOW MY FATHER LIKE I DO.

THERE IS NO WAY HE COULD GET HIS HANDS ON A SA-18 MANPAD.

SO WHY WOULD I SEND MY OWN FATHER TO PRISON

FOR SOME CRIME HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY COMMIT?

BECAUSE WE'RE POST-9/11, SERGEANT,

AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE ANY CHANCES.

NOBODY IS TAKING ANY CHANCES, HE'S HARMLESS.

HE LIKES TO TALK.

HE DOES MORE THAN TALK.

WE HAVE SWORN STATEMENTS FROM ASSOCIATES OF YOUR FATHER

WHO DESCRIBE HIM AS AN ACTIVE PLAYER FURNISHING WEAPONS

TO KNOWN TERRORISTS.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

HE RUNS A BUTCHER SHOP ALL DAY. HE DRIVES A CAB ALL NIGHT.

HAVE YOU EVER EVEN SEEN HIM SELLING A WEAPON TO ANYONE?

I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO ADDRESS THAT, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS--

UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT,

JUST BEING WILLING TO ABET TERRORIST ACTIVITY

IS ENOUGH TO WARRANT HEAVY CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

SO, SERGEANT, BY ALLOWING YOUR FATHER TO PURSUE

HIS TERRORIST ACTIVITIES,

YOU'VE TURNED YOURSELF INTO AN ACCOMPLICE.

WHICH CAN MEAN COURT-MARTIAL AND PRISON TIME.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

I SERVED IN IRAQ.

THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU CAN HELP YOUR FATHER,

AND YOURSELF,

IS BY HELPING US.

***

I'M HEADING EAST BEFORE I CROSS THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS.

THE BORDER IS UNPROTECTED OUT THERE.

AFTER YOU CROSS OVER, MEET ME AT THE WAY POINT

I PROGRAMMED INTO THE GPS.

WHEN WILL YOU GET THERE?

WAIT AT THE MEETING PLACE FROM 10:00 TO MIDNIGHT.

IF I DON'T SHOW UP THE FIRST NIGHT,

COME BACK TO THE COORDINATES EVERY NIGHT FOR A WEEK.

I DON'T MAKE IT BY THEN,

I'VE EITHER BEEN CAPTURED OR EATEN BY A BEAR.

EITHER WAY...

GO BACK TO LOS ANGELES

AND FORGET ANY OF THIS EVER HAPPENED.

EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.

I'LL SEE YOU IN A FEW DAYS.

WE'LL CELEBRATE IN CANADA.

[POLICE RADIO]

IT'S CLEAN.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO AND GET THIS TO THE TRANSLATION TEAM

RIGHT AWAY.

IS IT TRUE? YOU HAVE IT FOR ME?

WHY ELSE WOULD I BE HERE, DAD?

GIVE ME A HAND.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

ALLAH BE PRAISED.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS? I CAN'T TELL YOU.

CAN YOU PLEASE JUST HELP ME GET IT OUT OF HERE?

[CAMERA CLICKS]

DAD.

I...

AM SO PROUD OF YOU,

THAT YOU WOULD DO SUCH A THING FOR YOUR FATHER.

DAD...

TELL ME THE TRUTH.

THIS IS THE ONLY DEAL YOU HAVE DONE SINCE WE CAME TO AMERICA,

RIGHT?

OF COURSE.

WE WILL HAVE A GREAT CELEBRATION

FOR YOUR FATHER'S RETIREMENT, HUH?

SURE, PA. YES.

[ENGINE STARTS]

***

Hassani: SEE...

HASSANI IS A MAN OF HIS WORD.

MISSILE.

LAUNCHER.

BATTERY.

IT'S THE REAL SHIT.

OF COURSE IT IS.

OKAY, THEN.

WELL, OUR TRANSFER IS READY, I'LL PHONE IT IN NOW.

HANG UP THE PHONE.

WHAT?

OH SHIT.

THIS FUCKER IS A THIEF.

THIEF?

MR. DARWYN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I'VE DELIVERED...

UHH!

SHIT! AHH!

THE TRADITIONAL PUNISHMENT FOR THIEVERY IN THE QU'RAN.

ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?

Salim: I'M NOT CRAZY.

THIS BATTERY COOLANT UNIT IS FROM THE FUCKING '80S.

THE COOLANT LASTS FOR 10 YEARS AT MOST,

AFTER THAT THE BATTERY IS WORTH SHIT.

WITHOUT A WORKING BC UNIT, THE WHOLE THING IS USELESS.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS SHIT, MAN?

I SPENT TWO SUMMERS TRAINING AND FIGHTING IN CHECHNYA.

I'M TELLING YOU HE BETRAYED US.

HE'S TRYING TO SELL US A FUCKING PAPERWEIGHT.

HE'S DEAD, MAN. HE'S FUCKING DEAD.

HE'S FUCKING DEAD, MAN.

THIS BASTARD TRIED TO SWINDLE US.

I HAD TO MAINTAIN OPERATIONAL SECURITY.

COME ON, GET UP.

YOU DON'T THINK THIS COMPROMISES OPERATIONAL SECURITY?

LOOK AT ME.

WE GOT BLOOD AND FINGERPRINTS EVERYWHERE.

STUPID FUCKING--

[SCREAMS] I'M SORRY.

OH, FUCK.

BENNY, MINA, GET THIS MISSILE BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.

MOVE.

I'LL STAY AND WIPE THE PLACE DOWN.

Salim: HEY, LOOK, DARWYN, I CAN HELP YOU IF YOU...

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH. GO.

LOOK, DARWYN, I'M SORRY.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. I'M SORRY.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.

HEY, MAN--

HEY, WHY DIDN'T TELL ME THE BATTERY UNITS WERE MESSED WITH?

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE 'EM A WORKING SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILE,

YOU KNOW THAT. IF YOU HAD TOLD ME THE PLAN,

I WOULD HAVE KEPT SALIM OUTSIDE

OR AT LEAST AWAY FROM THAT MISSILE.

NEITHER ONE OF US KNEW THAT YOUR BOY CAN IDENTIFY

AN OLDER MODEL BCU.

IT WAS AN UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCE.

UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCE GOT A MAN KILLED.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

HEY, LOOK, I WASN'T IN THE BUTCHER SHOP, OKAY? YOU WERE.

YEAH, YOU WERE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE THERE.

OKAY?

NOW I'LL SHARE THE BLAME WITH YOU,

BUT DON'T FUCKING PILE IT ALL ON MY PLATE.

Darwyn: DO YOU SEE?

DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GO AND DO THINGS BEHIND MY BACK?

I CAN'T CONTROL A SITUATION IF YOU LEAVE ME IN THE DARK.

FROM NOW ON, YOU HAVE TO KEEP ME IN THE LOOP

ON EVERY LITTLE LAST THING YOU DO.

AND YOU HAVE TO GET ME SOME SORT OF REAL INTEL ON THE SUBJECTS

THAT I AM SURROUNDING MYSELF WITH,

OR YOU CAN GET ANOTHER U.C.

I FOUND OUT HOW YOU REALLY GOT THIS JOB.

YOUR UNCLE'S DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU, NICE.

NEXT TIME YOU TALK TO HIM, TELL HIM I DON'T HAVE TIME

TO BABY-SIT HIS FUCKING NEPHEW.

***

Man: BE EXTRA CAREFUL WITH THE EVIDENCE, ALL RIGHT?

THIS IS FARIK'S SAFE HOUSE.

I WANT FORENSICS TO GET EVERYTHING.

CLEAR.

OKAY. LET'S GO.

Man: GET DOWN, GET DOWN!

[GRUNTING]

SAFE HOUSE WASN'T SO SAFE, HUH?

THERE'S NO HOPE FOR YOU.

I TRIED TO REASON WITH YOU.

LIKE A BROTHER.

BUT YOU'RE NOT A TRUE MUSLIM.

SAYS THE MAN WHO USES THE QU'RAN TO SERVE U.S. FOREIGN POLICY.

I AM THE BELIEVER.

YOU'RE THE APOSTATE.

MAY ALLAH HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL.

IT'S YOUR SOUL THAT NEEDS ALLAH'S HELP NOT MINE.

OH, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I UNDERSTAND PERFECTLY.

PICK HIM UP AND GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

[GRUNTING]

[SHRIEKING]

BABY, HOW WERE THE PRAIRIE DOGS? COOL?

LET'S GO SEE THE GOATS.

THEY'RE OVER HERE. RIGHT OVER HERE.

I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU, ALL RIGHT?

SO, UM, GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY IS SUPPOSED TO REOPEN

BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

I USED TO GO THERE WHEN I WAS A KID.

I WAS THINKING WE COULD TAKE MARCUS.

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

NOT FOR A WHILE AT LEAST.

LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY BUT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE

THE LAST DAY OUT FOR A WHILE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHY?

BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE...

QUICK THIS TIME.

BUT IT'S NOT.

OF COURSE IT'S NOT.

YOUR, UH, FRIEND, UM, SPECIAL AGENT RUSSELL

CAME BY FOR A VISIT

AND MADE ME SIGN A NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.

HE SAID IF I VIOLATE IT, I COULD FACE CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

HE CAME TO YOUR PLACE?

SO HOW LONG ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?

LIKE A WEEK OR A MONTH?

I DON'T--I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.

SO THAT'S IT, RIGHT?

DAMN IT.

EVERY TIME SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENS TO ME,

THE OTHER SHOE DROPS.

PLEASE, GAYLE, DON'T DO THIS NOW, OKAY?

GOD.

[SOBBING]

COME HERE.

I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN DO THIS.

MM-HM.

AND I HAVE TO DO IT.

YEAH. MM-HM. I KNOW.

HEY, GUYS, WHY DON'T WE CHECK OUT THE ELEPHANTS FIRST?

IT'S FEEDING TIME THERE.

YEAH?
