All language subtitles for The Looming Tower S01E07

You've been flagged for
recent expense patterns.

I'm having dinner and drinks
with important people.

You need to start living
within your means.

There is a chain of command
in which decisions are made.

Your boss has yet to learn this lesson.

Can you tell us what happened
a few months ago

with your Palm Pilot?

"Qimma" means mountaintop.

- But it also means summit.
- A summit meeting.

- In Malaysia.
- I'll get the

Malaysian Special Branch
on this immediately.

We're gonna need eyes
and ears in Kuala Lumpur.

You've built an operation
based outside this country.

Southeast Asia.

What exactly do you want from me?

I definitely want us
to be more than buddies.

Okay, then.

Walla?

Now the Devil comes to us as a metal ship.

They don't understand
our greatest weapon -

those who don't fear death, don't die.

Shit.

Peace be upon you, General Qamish.

And upon you, Ambassador.

You have my assurance we're doing
everything we can.

Allow me to introduce Chief Amin
from our Aden Police force.

Do we know who executed the attacks?

Terrorists. But we don't know who.

Al-Qaeda?

Please do not rush to conclusions.

What is the death toll?

Ten so far. The search continues.

Please order a patrol boat for me.

Not safe. I can't allow it.

Later today.

Once we secure the harbor.

I hope she doesn't sink.

I'm sure every measure has
been taken to save her.

You understand our own FBI agents

will have to investigate.

Foreign law enforcement
in Yemen is forbidden.

And nonnegotiable.

There are dead Americans.

If al-Qaeda did this,
it is an act of war.

The enemy of peace is the enemy

of all Islam, Ambassador Bodine.

You have my word

the FBI will collaborate
with the Yemen government

and make as small
a footprint as possible.

Don't tell me how it ends.

- I didn't know you were...
- Yeah.

On and off since I was a kid.
More on lately.

Just... can't escape it.

Can't run if it's inside you.

You sure as shit can't outrun a Jesuit.

But it helps.

Sometimes.

I grew up in Beirut, boss.

God was the fuel and the flame.

Why now for you?

Lot of pressure. I...

I need this one.

I-I...

need it to go well.

From my home to yours.

Welcome.

What the...

I told them you're a general.

Welcome to Yemen, General O'Neill.

What's going on?

We've been ordered to
relinquish our long guns, boss.

Sa'adit al Jiniral.

Is forbidden for the long guns.

Who the fuck's in charge here?

I am.

Are you my point person on the ground?

Actually, no.
I'm Ambassador Barbara Bodine

of the United States Foreign Service.

I am a guest of the Yemenis,

and you are my guest.

Here's how this will go.

Your men will not leave the hotel walls

without one of their men
who speaks Arabic

and understands the culture and laws.

Keep your handguns holstered
unless absolutely necessary

for your safety. Who are you?

- John O'Neill, FBI.
- Well, Agent O'Neill,

please hand over your
long guns as requested.

Around 11:18 local time,

08:18 Universal Coordinated Time,

a small boat containing an estimated

400 to 700 pounds of explosives

approached the port side of
the destroyer and exploded.

17 dead sailors have been identified.

Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter, 21,

Hull Maintenance Technician.

Richard Costelow, 35,

Chief Petty Officer.

Lakeina Monique Francis, 19,

Mess Management Specialist.

Timothy Lee Gauna, 21.

Information Systems Technician.

Patrick Howard Roy...

You're the case agent?

When were you at Quantico, Soufan?

'97, sir.

A lot of sailors died on this ship.

He's young, but he's good.

Goddamn skiff the size
of my bass boat back home.

I don't envy your job.

Commander, 23MC on the bitchbox.

'Scuse me.

What's the population here?

Million, million two.

Like picking fly shit out of pepper.

That's if they're still here.

They're still here.

Looking at us right now.

Sa'adit al Jiniral O'Neill?

Yes, he is General O'Neill.

Special Agent Ali Soufan.

I am General Ghaleb Al-Qamish.

I would like to escort you
to headquarters.

We're fine, General.

We got some leads we want to pursue.

Please, General.

It won't be safe for you
and your colleague

if you're just walking about.

Please.

You are married, Sa'adit al Jiniral?

Yeah. You?

Yes, of course.

And you, young Mr. Ali?

No.

You must marry. It is Allah's will.

God willing.

Captain Amin of our Aden Police.

He's our top guy.

I leave you now with good hands.

Our SAC, John O'Neill.

My name is Ali Soufan.

Soufan, that's a Yemeni name.

Lubnan.

He asks you want sugar?

Why you speak Arabic but live
in America, the beautiful?

The FBI gave you job

because you know
about secrets of our people?

Maybe you have a blonde American wife

like Christina Aguilera?

I'm not married.

Why not married?

So you won't speak Arabic to me?

No.

I don't trust you.

Tell me about the boat trailer.

Trailer?

Trailers are usually by lakes,

or where water freezes.
Not warm harbors.

I don't know the trailer.

In the back, behind the fence.

Mm. I'll ask.

Can you ask now?

The man is not here today.

When will the man be here?

We make good advance on
the investigation for you.

You see?

All are held on suspicion.

Suspicion of what?

Suspicion,.

Suspicion.

We'd like to speak to them.

Who?

All of them.

You must have a reason.

Dead American sailors is a reason.

I'll tell you.

The men you want to speak,
they are dead.

Dead when the boat
they drive hit your boat.

We'd still like to speak
to all these men.

Sa'adit al Jiniral, please.

We have our policy.

We hold these men for a reason.

You must bring me legal basis,

or a good reason to interview.

Then we decide, kaza,
kaza, kaza, who you talk.

Is the General available?

I wish I had one of those.

You have several of us, boss.

Where's your wife?

With her mother, who is ill.

Mm.

I like you, General.

And I will forgive
you did not understand

never to ask about a man's wife.

Sorry. You asked if I was married.

Mm-hmm.

I was enquiring about
the character of a man.

You were seeking the location
of a woman, you see?

Ah... that's a subtle difference.

I take no offence.

It is a pleasure to have the opportunity

to sit with a friend
from beyond the borders

of my little country.

Perhaps together, we can make decisions

that will change the world
for the better.

All before midnight.

Hey.

Never finished this in college.

I read them all. Many twice.

- Oh.
- You're a better man than I.

In the Arab world today,

it is difficult to find
books written in English.

All we have available is Holy Qur'an,

or Hadith, you see?

The mind is closing.

That makes me very sad.

You play chess?

No.

Not really.

Because I think you are
playing chess with me now.

The compliments, the late night visits.

We do have a favor to ask.

Please.

The police have a boat
trailer frozen out back.

We need the name and address
on the registration.

Amin won't supply it.

Yes, of course.

Bring the official license
plate number to my office.

Actually...

can you do it now?

You are pushy, Mr. Soufan.

I am sad to see you did not retain

the polite manner of our Arab people.

Here. Wait for us.

Clear.

See? Looking right at us.

Hi, how's it going?

Well, the Yemenis provided a dredger,

so we're searching beneath the Cole,

and Forensics ships what we
find to Dubai for analysis.

It's a mess. You?

Ever hear the name Jamal al-Badawi?

The boat was registered to him.

I've worked hard in the state of Texas

to make sure our institutions
are... reflect the state,

with good, smart policy.

Policy that rejects quotas.
I don't like quotas.

Quotas tend to pit one group
of people against another.

Anything?

That's not the way
America's all about.

Kids.

Can you believe this crap?

Nobody mentioned terrorism.

I mean, do these candidates
even know we're here?

Or why?

Both Republicans and
Democrats to pass a law

that said if you come in the top 10%

of your high school class,

you're automatically
admitted to one of our...

Ali?

I'm still here.

Are you?

Yeah.

What's going on?

I saw these boys tonight.

They were...

Like my friends back in Beirut
when I was a kid

when...

What was that?

It's nothing. Nothing.

The kids that I work with,

you know, the ones that want to heal,

they find a way to tell their story.

Saying it out loud helps.

So you sit with them?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's nice to be with someone, isn't it?

It can be.

I know that's gunfire.

It is. It's non-stop here.

Please be careful.

I will.

...and this registration

under the name - Jamal al Badawi.

Yes. My boat.

It was stolen.

He says his boat was stolen.

This is a lie.

The boat and trailer are
registered to him

in a house at Al-Safarat District.

The men who bombed the Cole
were living in that house.

You should be worried.

This man is a human lie detector.

I told him about you.

That you are a human lie detector.

Hmm.

No more lies. Is this your house?

The house was rented by bin Attash.

Who is bin Attash?

Walid Mohammed Saleh
bin Roshayed bin Attash.

He rented the house?

Now Allah comes to remind you that
Muslims do not lie.

Quso. Ask Quso. You want Quso.

Who is Quso?
Is Quso also called bin Attash?

Finish now.

No work at prayer time. No work.

I had him. Fuck!

Amin shriveled up when he heard Quso

and the long-named guy.

Walid Mohammed Saleh bin
Roshayed bin Attash.

I assume that's Quso.

No. See, I didn't get that.

Badawi's going up the chain of command.

Quso is next.

Then long name guy.

Quso owns the house?

I don't think we know who owns it.

I don't think he knows.

They keep the cells small.
Five or six at the most.

He's saying that if you want
to know about the house,

talk to Quso, or... long name guy.

Not possible, Sa'adit al Jiniral.

Oh, what's wrong with him?

Quso is on your list.

Again, I tell you we have a system.

Material witness offers the name Quso.

In our system, that would
justify bringing him in,

or at least a knock and talk visit.

Mr. Ali tricked Badawi
with the lie detector.

It's a joke, right?

If he says Britney Spear,

I can't bring you Britney Spear
here to talk for you.

Britney Spear is not on your list, man.

The men you want are all dead.

I'm gonna go above your pay grade.

Sa'adit al Jiniral,

you give me reason, I give you Quso.

Hey.

What are you afraid of, Amin? Hm?

Not you, America Mr. Ali.

Hotel bar remnants from a better day.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

I wanted to.

What is it?

We can't make progress this way.

Did you recently make the
great sociological discovery

that far away foreign cultures
don't operate the same way

mob thugs in Flushing do?

17 dead American sailors
and their families

- want justice served.
- Every one of those families

would rather live in a peaceful world.

I need you to clear a path for us.

Yeah, I don't like your hostility.

Sit.

We need Yemen!

It borders Saudi Arabia,

our most vital ally in the Arab world.

Every move you have made
since you've arrived

has offended every man, woman,
and organization

you've come in contact with.

You make enemies, not progress
here in my country.

You're confused.

Isn't your country the United States?

We're citizens of a country
that offers so much,

the rest of the world either
wants to be us or kill us.

And my goal is to make sure
Yemen is the former.

17 dead Americans!

Their blood's gonna be on your hands.

After my initial tour of the Cole,

my clothes were covered in blood.

I could've gone to change
before my meeting

with President Abdullah Saleh,
but I wanted him to see it.

Don't talk to me about...

Make the fucking phone call, Bodine.

Diplomacy will recover.

Those sailors are gone forever.

Please.

Welcome!

What do they want?

Is this man in custody or what?

You want to talk, so talk.

I am Special Agent Ali Soufan, F.B.I.

No. You work for Mossad.
A puppet for corrupt Jews of Israel.

Sit.

You bring shame to your father's name.
Soufan.

Is this your house?

Is your real name, Walid Mohammed Saleh
bin Roshayed bin Attash?

They will kill me for talking with
tiny pawn of Mossad. Al-Qaeda will.

If he's al-Qaeda, just arrest him.

Usama bin Laden, I know him.
He trusts me personally.

Trusts you with - ?

With everything.

Give me an example.

You don't know him.

He doesn't trust you with anything.

To film the USS Cole explosion.

He said he filmed the Cole.

Is this the camera?

You failed. You know there is no
explosion on this tape.

Usama's very disappointed in you.

He says you disappointed bin Laden.

I overslept.

He says he overslept.

Are these men al-Qaeda?

Are these men Al-Qaeda?

Say what you want from this man...

Shh!

Usama doesn't care about you.
You failed him.

Not when I carry money for him.

What money?

$36,000 USA cash.

No, I don't believe you.
You're a low-level guy...

...recording video.

No. I carried $36,000.
I was going to Malaysia.

What's in Malaysia? An attack?

Can I have a cigarette?

No. A meeting in Malaysia.

Who was at the meeting?

Important people.

Everyone.

Walid Mohammed Saleh bin Roshayed
bin Attash, was he at the meeting?

Yes.

Did you give the money to bin Attash
in Malaysia?

No. Before. In Bangkok.

What was the money used for?

A new leg. I think.

A new leg?

A prosthetic?

Yes.

He says the cash was for a new leg.

A new leg? A peg leg?

Ask him if it's for a guy named Khallad.

Walid Mohammed Saleh bin Roshayed
bin Attash -

Is this the name of Khallad?

I don't get it.

The money's moving away
from an operation.

Maybe it moves towards one.

I need anything about Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur, a meeting.
Any of our suspects.

Fahd al-Quso,

Khallad or Walid,

Mohammed,

Saleh bin Roshayed bin Attash.

I don't have anything. I'll check.

We have another request.

Play and talk first.

Then I do a favor for you,
friend, a brother.

Tric troc. I win.

Did you cheat?

I don't
need to when I play you.

You are ruthless.

I'm a man of peace
in a military uniform.

And you?

You're a man of peace?

I'm a man of justice.

I'm sorry to say in this case
of the Cole

the bad guys are all dead.

Al-Qaeda's behind it.

They're still watching us.
Planning more.

My investigators told me
there were three men

on the skiff.

One, a young boy, maybe 12 years old.

This boy was likely born
in a bin Laden camp.

And educated where they teach

the Holy Qur'an,

a book I sincerely doubt

any al-Qaeda member has ever read.

In their version of this book,

there are two forces in the universe.

Allah, good, and everything else, evil.

What does President Clinton think

when he puts this battleship
rising up in our harbor,

like the devil himself,

in a country where there is only Allah

and not-Allah?

If one squints at the mast,

with American flag,
from the devil himself.

You made your point.

Killing is not the appropriate response.

I agree.

I'm not trying to convert you.

This is the only English
language book I have with me.

John...

mine is not a curious country
in these times.

This book... is seen as a threat.

But I have always dreamed of
reading the Holy Bible.

Thank you.

That book has helped me often.

I fear I have not been
thoughtful as you

- to bring a gift.
- Oh, it's not necessary.

I'd like for you to have this.

Subhah, Islamic prayer beads.

It belonged to my father.

No, those belong to your
family. They're special.

And the Holy Bible you gave me?

Fair enough, from my childhood, but...

You insult me if you don't accept.

Please.

Shukran.

Afwan.

And now, for the request.

I need to speak to a Khallad.

Is he al-Qaeda?

I ask for you but make no promise.

Malaysia was an operational issue.

Intelligence. Not criminal.

It is foreign soil
in the Pacific region.

Not the domain of the FBI.

The $36,000 originated offshore

and was delivered offshore.

CIA business.

Hide in the cornfields for a while.

Ambassador Bodine.

Special Agent O'Neill.

I'd like to update you on our progress.

- I'm listening.
- Dredging for evidence

beneath the Cole has been completed,

shipped for analysis.

The Quso interrogation,
which you arranged,

led to a name we believe is
the mastermind of the attack.

Khallad.

Thank you.

Are we okay? You and I?

As we ever were.

What do you have for me, Colonel?

We have a heavy lift ship
moving South from Europe...

Are bending to political pressure

by easing standards for considering

whether a ballot counts.

The board had been throwing out ballots

that did not have two corners
poked out of the chad.

The b...

Give me the FBI office in New York.

Right away.

Ambassador Bodine.

Yes, thank you.

It... is a difficult time.

Listen, I'm having a bit
of a problem here

with one of your guys.

Maybe they need you back home.

Nah, it's a different play.
I'm getting jerked by Sanchez.

- Just wish me luck.
- All right.

General!

I found about the man you want.

Khallad.

A better gift than old prayer
beads, agree?

Thank you.

Shukran, shukran.

You are welcome, General.
Shukran, shukran.

You are welcome, General.

I'm not a general anymore.

Salam.

Salam.

Salam, brother John.
