Previously on Sleeper Cell.

I was thinking that...

tonight, for evening prayer, I would go to the mosque.

Do you wanna come with me?

I've always been waiting for you to ask me that, forever.

Any news on my buddy Farik?

Did they break him yet?

Face it, my friend.

Everything you've done... was for nothing.

I'll see you in a few days. We'll celebrate in Canada.

We need a new leader. It should be me.

Darwyn's the one with the most experience, now.

Get my case agent back from the Sudan and let's get focus.

Something happened.

It's gonna be all over C.N.N.

Agent Al-Sayeed? Warren Russell, your new case agent.

There's three addresses here,

for decommissioned hospitals in L.A. county.

Now, I'm supposed to secure one as an operational place.

They want me to get an FIM-92B.

I'll have it in 48 hours.

You realize I'm talking about a surface to air missile, alright?

This fucker is a thief.

He betrayed us!

He tried to sell us a fucking paperweight!

Why didn't you tell me the battery units would mess me?

Are you out of your fucking mind?

We weren't gonna give 'em a working missile, you know that!

The Y.M.C.A in Hopsters.

Downtown Los Angeles. Locker 67.

This is Farik's safe house. I want forensics to get everything.

The safe house wasn't so safe, huh?

Pick him up. Get him out of here.

I thought it was gonna be...

... quick, this time, but it's not.

2x03 Torture

Not bad.

We've cloned a new authenticator.

But the U.R.L. is no longer working.

Sorry.

Digital forensics team is trying hard to check the home server,

but it's problematic

because so far, both of those websites

have shut down immediately after you've accessed them.

My girlfriend said you dropped by.

Rail roading her into signing an NDA?

Threatening criminal penalties. Now she's scared out of her mind.

Good.

She should be.

She's a civilian, Darwyn.

And you pulled her into this world.

Now, she needs to understand the consequences.

Not behind my back, man.

You should have just asked me to bring her in.

You could have given it to me and I'd have given it to her to sign.

Why?

You got enough to worry about, okay?

Background for one of your new playmates.

A charming group of

damaged humans.

Well, Amina Van der Holst.

And that is a...

health certificate for legalized prostitution in Amsterdam.

She was a hooker?

Well, private club escort.

You know, that's the fancy kind.

And Benito Velazquez.

Now, if you ask me,

the Jihad is just another gang for Benny.

Pretty slim stuff on Salim, here.

Yeah. His parents were...

Baghdadi physicians who emigrated to London during the...

worst of the Iran-Iraq war.

But MI5 is still investigating.

They'd sure love it to get a better handle on this... path to radicalism.

Do we have remote audio and video set up in the hospital, yet?

Techs are on it right now.

Good.

Hi.

I.D, please.

What's the purpose of your visit?

I'm hooking up with my fianc� in Vancouver.

I'm gonna meet his parents for the first time.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Hey Marcus! Hi, Danny!

Hiya!

Baby, wait your mammy! Kiss!

Okay, I'm giving you a kiss!

Kiss.

See you later.

- Bye! - Bye!

You're telling me that the United States government

is releasing one of the most dangerous terrorist in our custody.

We're not releasing anyone, special agent Saleh.

We are simply transferring custody of the detainee

to a more appropriate facility.

Sahad Bin Safwan,

aka Faris al-Farik

who's wanted in his home land for multiple criminal acts

including homicide and treason.

We are extraditing him

at the request of his government.

So what did they promise you in return?

Increase cooperation in the global war on terror?

Oil at seventy dollars per barrel for one month this summer?

You have no idea what this kind of move

does to morale on the front lines of the real war on terror.

The one were out there fighting 24/7.

Don't lecture me about the front lines.

I started my government carrier as an operations officer at C.I.A.

I only agreed to this meeting as a courtesy.

Because the truth is...

We wouldn't have Sahad Bin Safwan to extradite to the Saudis

if it weren't for you people, so I figured we owed you that.

But you have no dog in this fight.

The Justice Department has no jurisdiction of the detainee

and last I heard, F.B.I. has no jurisdiction

over any prisoners of any kind.

This is a matter of national security. Plain and simple.

D.O.D. and C.I.A. have used all lawful interrogation tactics.

And a few highly questionable ones as well.

But this son of a bitch is like the Rock at Gibraltar. Immovable.

So what's your plan?

Keep him incarcerated for 40 years?

It's time to throw the rule book away and get him to talk.

So you're sending him to the Saudis to be tortured.

Your word, not mine.

Hello?

Ilija?

You scared the hell out of me.

You did it.

Vancouver, here we come!

Fuck you, evil empire! Fuck you, U.S.A!

You know...

Here you go.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

OK, what do you got?

The network has ordered me to secure 100 pounds of R.D.X.

- It's an explosive... - No, I know what it is.

Just about the most powerful military explosive we have in our arsenal.

If you pack enough of that shit together,

they'll shock or even bring down a building.

Yeah.

Well, it's next on the Al-Qaeda shopping list

and I need you to get it for me.

And don't fuck around with it like you did with the missile.

It's gotta be pure unadultery.

- Otherwise, it'll blow my cover. - Wait, wait.

Listen,

We cannot permit a terrorist group

to acquire explosives of that magnitude, Darwyn. We've been through this.

If we play this out a little bit longer,

we can follow the trail all the way up the chain of command

and possibly break this network wide open.

Okay.

Maybe I can supply some inert explosives?

No.

You can't fake this, man.

The female subject,

she's explosives expert. She can see through any bullshit.

No.

It's just too risky.

To the case...

... or to your career?

The answer...

... is no.

Are we clear?

Crystal.

Thank you.

How can I help you, my friend?

Do you have an Arabic magazine called

Djenatul' Lah?

Excuse me?

Djenatul' lah?

God's Spirit Ends, I was told I could find it here.

Who are you?

My name is Ilija Korjenic.

I was told to come to you if I needed help.

Who was your army in Bosnia?

I was at Bin Ali, before he was killed by the Serbs.

What was his sons' name?

He had no sons.

His daughters were named Zeineb and Hanifa.

Where did you take your bayat to the Jihad?

At the rendezvous point in Zenica.

How can I help you, my brother?

I need new papers and a way out of Canada.

Of course.

You'll be on a plane back to Europe tomorrow.

I will need some time to get my affairs in order.

But you don't have the luxury of time, my brother.

Tie up any loose ends and be back here tomorrow night.

I understand.

I need a photo for your new passport.

Smile, brother!

After all, you don't want to look like a...

... terrorist!

Yo, relax man. What you worried about?

Fucking everything.

So, what's up, bro?

We got our orders from the brother, man.

We've got to secure a R.D.X.

That's an explosive, right?

Yeah. Military grade,

but--

It's also used in construction work.

Urban demolitions.

At the east L.A. interchange,

the city's throwing down 3 square blocks

and let them move brown people just to make way

for a new ramp on other town.

Maravilla's got boys working all over that thing.

How do we get to them?

It's not too late, you know.

You start giving me some useful intel,

and I'll take you back to the States.

Hajjaj is a real professional.

They say he can torture you to within inch of your life

and not go over that line.

You won't die...

... but you'll wish you were dead.

Hello?

Hello, son.

Oh, Baba, listen. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to call you back.

- Life is very hectic, very busy. - Yeah, I can imagine.

But I'm not calling to hear your excuses.

We have good news.

We found someone.

Excuse me?

A girl! Your mother and I have found a girl for you.

She's a sweet girl.

She is a medical student.

Her name is Farah Al-Askari.

She was raised in America.

Her family is very prominent in Baghdad.

And... they have good relations with the new government in Iraq.

You mean the new American puppet regime.

No, no. I don't want to talk politics.

She's a good Muslim,

and a marriage will bring honor to both families.

Baba, look.

I've told you a thousand times. I'm not ready for marriage, right now.

Not ready, or not willing?

Baba, listen!

No, no.

You listen to me.

It has been decided.

You will meet Farah. And if the two of you get along,

our families will arrange the wedding.

Fine.

I'll see her if it makes you happy.

How come you're so sure your boy will come through?

I drove him on his first assignment for the gang.

He was supposed to take out those jotos from 8th street.

Flaco took his shot, missed,

Suddenly three more carbon were shooting back.

So I ran my wheels in those dudes, took out the target.

Get Flaco to credit for the kill.

He owes me, man.

Hey, Brandon! Don't go too far!

Elisa plays too, alright? Take care of your sister, come on.

Have fun guys. Elisa, go with Brandon, alright?

- Qu� tal, Flaco? - Qu� tal amigo?

- How you doing, man? - How you doing, man?

This is my friend, Darwyn.

Darwyn. I like your name, man.

Survive all the fears, right?

You Muslim like Ben?

Is that a problem?

No. And Benito tells me you guys like Jesus too.

We're cool.

Glad to know that.

So...

what can I do for you homies?

We need to borrow some of your construction equipment.

Borrow?

Like... what kind of equipment?

R.D.X.

R.D.X?

I don't need an echo, man, you heard me.

How much are we talking about?

One hundred pounds.

You're crazy, man.

You know how much security they got around this shit?

Around the construction site, yeah.

Not around the secret Maravilla's stash.

I don't know what you're talking about, man.

Word is...

Homies working the site have been sticking out bits and pieces of R.D.X.

for the past 18 months.

Maravilla's got enough in store to blow up

an entire block of 8th street homeboys if they start acting out.

You don't know what you're asking me, man.

I know exactly what I'm asking you.

The only reason you're still alive

is �cause I never told Maravilla how you fucked up.

You owe me your life, Puto.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I mean, thank you.

Not just for that...

but... for everything.

For a very long time,

I felt nothing at all.

I was like a dead man.

You made me feel alive again.

That's a great book.

It shadows a lot of stereotypes about Muslim women.

Cool, I'll check it out.

That's really inspiring.

For me, that one...

...well, sealed the deal.

You... You are Muslim?

I've converted to Islam three years ago.

You're surprised.

Sorry. I...

Just... You don't look like an...

An Arab woman in a veil.

Yeah.

- I guess I have my own stereotypes. - Okay.

I'm Gayle.

Mina.

- A pleasure. - Yeah, hi.

Actually, I was gonna go down the block and get some coffee.

Do you want... you wanna...

... come with or...

- Yeah, I'd like that. - Okay, great.

You gotta pay for the book.

Yeah, definitely gonna pay for this book.

So, where are you from originally?

Holland.

A town called Amstelveen.

It's a little south of Amsterdam.

It's like... how do you say that... a suburb.

Can I ask you a personal question?

Go ahead.

Why did you become a Muslim?

I grew up in a very liberal family.

We had money and choices,

there were no rules to speak of.

everything was alright as long as it felt good.

So...

Well, I did what I wanted.

Parties, drug, sex.

I had a great time.

But... it took over my life.

So...

After a while, I started to feel lost.

One day, I met a Muslim woman.

She was a Turk.

An immigrant, she worked in a grocery store down the street.

I used to feel so sorry for her wearing the head scarf.

How could she be so brainwashed?

So, kind of like you, I...

I started asking questions

and talking to her.

And then, I began to realize that...

maybe, I was the one who was brainwashed.

And all the... so called freedom in the West

didn't bring me happiness.

It just made me a slave.

Slave to fashion,

slave to the cosmetics industry,

slave to men.

And then, I read the Holy Qur'an,

and I saw that Islam

gave dignity to women.

In Islam, I learned

that my value comes from what's inside, my heart...

My soul.

And that's when I became truly free.

- As-Salamu Alaykum. - I am Farah.

Like Farah Fawcett. You must be Salim.

Can I get a drink for you?

A sparkling water, please.

Vodka martini.

A vodka olive, please.

You drink.

I know, it's against the rules.

But I just finished this strawberry shift

in the E.R. Red Cedars.

This guy had a bicycle handle bar rammed up his nose

halfway through his skull. So...

Yeah, trust me, I need a drink.

Well...

My...

... parents tell me that you're...

working here, but you studied overseas?

Yeah...

I'm an electrical engineer.

I received my degree at Imperial college in London.

Oh, I love London.

Have you ever been to...

Bir Swami, on Regent Street?

- Their chicken curry is amazing. - I don't think that restaurant...

is Halal.

We have a vodka martini

and sparkling water, sir.

Thanks.

Gayle!

F.B.I.

Get in.

Go.

What's going on?

Your friend is one of the targets of our investigation.

I don't understand.

Somehow, she found out about you,

which means, she's suspicious of Darwyn.

Oh, my God.

The next time she contacts you, we gonna have your phones tapped.

- We'll be listening to... - Oh no, no. I'm not doing this, okay?

I'm gonna take my son, we're gonna leave, or we're going to...

fucking Omaha! Okay? Where my sister lives now.

- And we'll... - No.

We won't come back until this is over.

If you disappear now, that will send out a thousand red flags.

Might as well shoot Darwyn yourself.

It'll be alright.

You're working with us from here on.

I'm sorry. I need to keep an eye on the time.

Joining some friends for the football game tonight.

You mean soccer?

Yeah.

Barcelona versus Arsenal.

I love Roldinho.

- He's such an awesome player. - Why, you fond of football?

I love the game.

I've been playing since first grade.

And I've even made the women's varsity team over at Dartmouth.

I think you're the first girl in America that I ever met

that cares about football.

Do you still play?

No, not on a team.

But I might coach a... a girls team.

at a Muslim youth camp in Pasadenas this summer.

A host women football in a Muslim youth camp.

This is America, Salim.

Islam is... deriving because we're integrating.

You know, we don't need to cut ourselves off from...

mainstream society the way Muslims do in Europe.

First of all, Muslims don't chose to be separate in Europe.

We're forced.

And you talk as if the American way of life with its

hedonism and materialism on equal footing with Islamic values.

Well, look around you, Farah.

The truth is the Americans are on a self destructive path

and Islam is the only thing that can save them.

Do you...

... really believe that?

Of course, I do.

Then...

Excuse me for asking,

but...

... what are you doing here?

In the U.S?

In... L.A. of all places, I mean talking about hedonism and materialism...

The truth is...

I've always been a... A bit of a masochist.

So stay clear from me, if you know what's good for you.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

That was just my mates calling.

Bloody hell. Well...

I'm sorry about it. I really do need to get going.

Noticed I didn't...

offer my hand.

I didn't want to upset any of your delicate

fundamentalist sensibilities, so...

Alright.

That should cover it.

I have a surprise for you.

It's cevapi.

I thought you might enjoy a little...

taste of the Balkans.

Where did you get this?

I found a Bosnian restaurant in Vancouver.

They have cevapi,

burek,

all your favorite dishes from back home.

It's a sign, Ilija.

We were meant to be here.

Together.

I'm sorry.

I have to...

I have to...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hajjaj is sterilizing the wire.

We won't watch you die from some nasty infection

after he shoves it up your urethra.

But you'll probably pass out after a few seconds.

Most people do.

Every time you'll urinate...

you'll feel it again.

You'll be pissing fire for the rest of your life.

It doesn't have to be this way.

You can end this anytime you want.

Take away your fun?

I wouldn't wanna bore you.

You think I fucking enjoy this?

Americans hate this shit!

It's not who we are!

But to tell you the truth,

I don't care,

because you took off the fucking gloves.

I do things I hate myself for.

And I blame you for that.

All of you.

If you would just cooperate,

I'll get Hajjaj stop.

Alright.

I understand him.

What?

Hajjaj...

I understand him.

He does what he believes is necessary.

But you, Americans

are so obsessed with yourselves

that you care more about analyzing your guilt

than achieving victory.

That...

That's why we will win.

and you will lose.

Nice speech.

I bet the Japanese said something like that

just before we dropped the bomb in Hiroshima.

So...

What's going on?

That's what I'd like to know.

Is this meeting on the books?

Not that I know of.

I'll tell you what's happening.

What the hell is he doing now? I can't hear a goddamn thing.

Call Russell.

Cool toy.

Something I picked up from my former shift.

Why? You think we're being bugged?

These days, you can never be too cautious.

So why are we here?

The Ulema have ordered us to secure an explosive called R.D.X.

Through Benny, we've located a secret stash,

belonging to some of his old friends,

the Maravilla.

We're gonna take it.

Tonight.

Do you have your field kit with you to do an on site test of the material?

So...

What's it for?

Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you.

White noise generator?

Where the hell is he going?

No, I didn't authorize any....

You follow him and get back to me! You understand?

Get over in the left lane.

The fast lane.

Now put on your hazard turn on and slow down.

Just above thirty.

What's happening?

I think we're being followed.

Shit!

What's he doing?

I don't know.

Get in his lane.

I can't.

If I stay behind him at that speed, we get made for sure.

- You lost him. - No.

He lost us.

Turn off your blinkers and go back to normal speed.

I don't see anybody.

I probably just imagined it.

So Flaco told me that the banger who pulls guard during the night

is a notorious party dog.

Ritchie the Pig.

He's out sneaking up to some chica's place to do beer, weed...

her... leaves the explosive till the morning.

Who knows, he isn't taking much of a risk as

no one's got the balls to rip the Maravilla from their own turf.

Nobody but us.

Yeah.

Wait, guys. Music.

- And something else. - Kill the lights.

I thought he said this place would be empty.

Flaco didn't lie, man.

Ritchie the Pig is like a fucking hog, man.

He just didn't leave his post, this time.

I think we should bail, man,

They all know what my face looks like.

Fuck that! Let's just kill them. Take the explosive, that's all.

No.

We pile up too many bodies, it'd draw attention from the cops.

- Mina, you got your hijab? - I do.

If you can't speak Spanish,

do not speak at all.

As-Salaamu Alaykum, brother.

Give me my plane ticket.

I have good news, Ilija.

I prepared all your documents this morning.

But I just got an e-mail from the Ulema.

They want you to stay in Vancouver for the time being.

But you said I had to leave immediately.

- You said I had to tie up loose ends. - Plan's changed.

The brother have decided you're more valuable right here.

They have something new underway in Los Angeles.

Then, the network may need your... expertise.

Relax my friend!

You may be in Vancouver for several months.

Maybe longer.

Give me my fucking plane ticket!

You're a strong man, son.

I have to admit I'm impressed.

But I wonder...

how much of this your wife and daughter will be able to take.

You told me once: "But there is no God."

The one I fought for was alive.

Now, you find the truth.

Give them the R.D.X?

Are you out of your fucking mind?

We can't risk dropping the bowl

when we're this close to breaking this case.

Since you wouldn't help me, I had to go off the grid.

Darwyn... Now I may not have

a ton of field experience, okay?

But I know enough to see that you have made some bad fucking choices here!

Now what the fuck is happening to you?

You.

You are what's happening to me, man.

You've only been on this case for a few weeks,

you're already fucking things up!

I can't keep you in the loop!

So far, the only thing you've proven to be good at is getting people killed.

And that scares the shit out of me!

It's bad enough I got to worry about the bad guys,

I shouldn't have to worry about you too.

Well, let's cut the horseshit!

This isn't about me,

or about the choices that I have to make

to effectively run this case!

This is about you

and your misguided sympathy

for your little Muslim brothers out there,

that have started war with this country!

Fuck you!

Don't you even fucking go there with me! Do you understand?

It is my life that is on the line every fucking day!

Every fucking day!

Don't you dare question my loyalty!

Ever!

I'm a Muslim!

I am a Muslim, and an American.

And what I do, what I do everyday,

I do it for my God and my country.

You tell me how getting a fucking sociopath

enough R.D.X. to blow a massive hole in downtown L.A.

serves your God, or your country?

Radiation containment facilities.

What?

I did a walkthrough of the hospital that we secured.

Compared it to the other two

that the brotherhood wanted me to check out,

they all share one thing in common:

Radiation

containment facilities.

They're planning a nuclear attack.

Now, you understand?

You have to find out where the nukes are coming from and intercept them.

And I have to keep the brotherhood happy

until they give us a shot at grabbing that information.

Why didn't you just tell me?

It's like you said, man. I'm in the center of this shitstorm.

So, I'm in control of this case.

Alright.

Well, then...

since you're so in control of the case,

maybe you can tell me

why one of your

cell members

is taking an inordinate interest

in your personal life.

... Vancouver Airway flight 60-12 to Hamburg...

... will begin boarding in five minutes from gate C-10.

... believed to have been released by Al-Qaeda,

claims to show a raid on a Saudi Arabian detention facility

outside Djeddah.

Sources have confirmed that a gun battle between militants

and Saudi security forces

did take place earlier this week, at a government installation

in the country, western province,

where Djeddah is located.

The attack was meant to free some of the kingdom's

highest profile Al-Qaeda prisoners.

including terrorist Sahad Bin Safwan,

captured and detained by the U.S. government

after leading the failed chemical attack on Dodgers' stadium in Los Angeles

last summer.

The tape praises Bin Safwan's heroism

before announcing that he was killed during the rescue attempt.

Because he was high ranked in Al-Qaeda,

Bin Safwan was considered an extremely valuable source of information.

Critics are calling his death a serious setback in the war on terror.

...idea that a high profile terrorist detainee

believed to be in U.S. custody, ended up dead in a Saudi Arabian prison

has set off a storm of questions from the press.

The Pentagon didn't comment,

and the White House has so far refused to comment on the story in any way.
