Original subtitles

You called Sepah?

No. I sent a text from a dead man's phone.

Now, is it just the two of you here, or are there more of your people coming?

Why are you doing this?

You couldn't possibly begin to understand.

Try me.

Is it just the two of you?

[footsteps approaching]

[metal rattles]

Give me your phone.

- Who are you calling? - Give me your phone.

[grunts]

- [Peterson] Don't move. - [gasping]

- Behind me! - Your three o'clock!

Faraz, above you! Stay low!

[Owl] Get in, quick!

[engine starts]

[groans, gasps]

[Tamar] He got me...

[tires squealing]

- Any others? - Just the two who got away.

And us.

I know everything.

[panting]

Put pressure on it.

[groaning, breathing heavily]

What happened with the scientist?

We had it all wrong. He's working with the Iranians.

He could have shot me. I don't know why he wouldn't...

How did Faraz know we'd be there?

Sepah goddamnit!

We screwed up. We led him right to Peterson!

- [in Farsi] Come. - We're leaving?

- Now! Let's go. We don't have time. - [stutters]

- Let's go. We don't have time. Over here. - My suitcase!

- Why are you doing this? - Be quiet.

- What is this? - Quiet, quiet.

- Where's my husband? - Be quiet.

Close the door. Close it.

[screams]

Was he the only one?

Mrs. Kamali!

Was he the only one? Mrs. Nahid!

Was he the only one?

[whimpers]

It's all over,

all over...

Breathe...

[sobbing]

[Behrouz] She's fine, sir.

One terrorist. Eliminated.

One of the brothers is with her, more are on the way.

Keep her safe.

Until I get home.

[phone beeps]

Before you get home...

[in English] You better catch these fuckers.

If you know that my arrest was just a cover, you know the real reason I'm here.

Do you understand? These two could blow everything!

Every Western agency will wanna recapture me.

No. [sighs]

No?

They'll want to kill you.

Gun.

[latch closes]

What the hell happened here?

Did the Iranians recruit him after the arrest?

He would have left with us if that were true.

The timing, the last components were smuggled

at the exact same time he arrived.

[Owl] He's been with them all along.

And he's going to assemble the bomb now.

[Owl] This is gonna hurt.

- Hold it like this. - [grunts]

[Yulia] Tamar?

It was just his cover story.

They arrested him and threw him into Evin Prison

so he'd be the last one you'd suspect.

Are we blowing his cover?

[Yulia] I wish it were that simple.

But with all that we know...

Tamir, do we have any leverage on him? Family?

His wife's dead. They were estranged.

He has a daughter. He mentioned her.

I want a tap on the daughter's phone.

This had to take years to plan all this.

To ensure we weren't aware that it was happening. Nofar.

Listen, everyone.

Eric Peterson is an Iranian agent.

He's bound to have associates and contacts.

I need you to get me a report on his every move since he arrived in Tehran.

All the facts. I need anyone who might lead us to his current location.

We find the scientist, we find the explosive.

The nature of the operation has changed.

Tamar?

I'm listening.

It's no longer a rendition. It's a termination.

Copy that.

Dr. Eric Peterson.

So good to finally meet you in person.

I am sorry for your ordeal. I'm glad you're okay. Please.

I was able to secure the doctor, but, um,

the Mossad agents are still at large.

I will hunt them down.

I must ask what you told these Zionists.

I told them nothing.

But they know plenty.

They can tell the world about your involvement.

Well, you know what you can do?

You can put me on TV, and I'll tell the world what I know about them.

May I?

Back in the day, around about the time you were welcoming back the Ayatollah,

the Israelis were the ones with nuclear ambitions.

The only government in the world that would assist them was South Africa.

I was a young man.

But I worked on that project.

A series of nuclear tests off our coast.

The Israelis, of course, publicly denied their involvement.

You armed our enemy.

Did I?

No one knows for sure if Israel has a nuclear weapon,

but those tests were enough to make everyone believe, to this day,

that they probably do.

Which is why I will make it clear-- So I said to General Mohammadi

that when I build this warhead, I'm not building a weapon.

What Iran needs,

what would strengthen her hand, give her the respect she deserves,

is a deterrent.

Now, I'll be honest.

I don't believe in God.

But I do believe in justice.

I believe in fairness, in balance.

And where there is imbalance from the past,

I believe in correcting it.

Iran is grateful to you, Doctor.

And after today's events, we can no longer wait.

How soon before we can conduct a test?

Very soon.

That's if I stay alive.

You will begin tomorrow.

We will make every effort to maintain your cover.

Sardaar Kamali will take personal responsibility

for your safety and security.

If you need anything, anything at all, you can contact him directly.

Now, please. Great days await us.

[in Farsi] Take him home.

[in English] First time getting hit?

Mmh-mmh.

Have you been shot?

- [sighs] - Too many times to keep track.

Here. Keep it, for good luck.

Look at me. I'm still around, right?

[chuckles]

[police radio chatter]

[in Farsi] He was a terrorist?

I... I don't know.

When the order came,

Mr. Kamali said-- He identified him as such.

This man I killed.

He told you to pack a suitcase?

I saw it back there.

Did he say where he was taking you?

Thank you for what you did today, but I'm very tired.

Mrs. Kamali...

I will get to the truth,

but it would benefit everyone if you just tell me what you know.

Do you like living like this?

If you just talk to me,

I can end this nightmare for you.

Tell me what really happened today.

I'm asking you, please...

tell me what really happened to Marjan Montazemi.

[Faraz] Where is my wife?

My card.

[Faraz] Nahid.

You're home.

Are you okay?

Did they hurt you?

Huh?

Hello, General.

I happened to be nearby when the call came. Thank God.

A lucky coincidence.

All right.

Thank you.

Yes.

I will, of course, do all I can

to identify this terrorist and his associates.

So they don't do anything else, God forbid.

Please.

As you wish.

[reporter on TV, in English] The international community

continues to condemn the Iranian actions.

But while strenuous denials continue to be issued,

Dr. Peterson's responsibilities have been given to other colleagues,

suggesting he may remain in custody for some time.

The Islamic Republic of Iran continue to insist that Dr. Peterson

exploited his access to sensitive government facilities

to carry out illegal surveillance on behalf of Western governments.

The South African Embassy

say they are working tirelessly on Dr. Peterson's release,

as they believe he is unlikely to receive a fair trial

which could result in a death sentence.

[news anchor] Thank you, Dave. And now to other world news.

[knocking on door]

In France today, the demonstration...

Doctor, you have a guest.

[news anchor] ...saw some clashes between protesters and police.

Shaparak.

[Peterson sighs]

What happened to you?

Oh, this is nothing.

The important thing is I'm here and I can continue.

[chuckles]

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you too.

- Listen, Eric, I... - Why don't we, uh, go and talk over there?

Okay.

Did you manage to-- to get ahold of a...

[Velcro snaps]

I did what you asked,

accessed the performance diagnostics on the components as each one comes in.

You were right to be concerned.

I have detected some kind of anomaly with the firing set.

It seems that somebody tampered with the parts.

Musavi missed it.

Explosive yield is nowhere near the program targets.

You tell anyone about this?

I-I can't diagnose the exact cause

without direct access to the components and the code.

- Do you think maybe I could-- - No, no.

You've done enough.

You should go home.

Will I see you again?

I don't know.

I hope so.

[liquid bubbling]

Morning. How's the arm?

Still hurts.

[liquid pouring]

Do you think Nahid was in on the plan?

I don't know.

He lied to her.

She wanted out. I'm sure of it.

Then it's just the beginning of her problems.

She needs help.

You don't owe her anything. Her husband's a Sepah agent.

I do owe her. I promised her.

[phone chimes, buzzes]

Come on. They found something.

We know the scientist visited an enrichment facility twice

since the UN mission arrived,

and he hasn't left his hotel otherwise,

but we've just identified someone from the hotel's surveillance footage.

Shaparak Nouri.

The wife of Farzin Nouri.

Head of the enrichment program. Killed seven years ago.

Now she and the scientist work together.

The scientist led the UN inspectors' mission when Farzin was in charge as well.

After his assassination, the members split up,

but he actually stayed in Iran for longer.

Made some connections.

How do we find Shaparak?

At the moment we're still working on getting her address.

Apprehend her, interrogate her,

do whatever it takes to get a lead on Peterson.

They're trying hard to keep this prisoner narrative alive,

which means they're getting closer to their goal.

We need to beat them to it.

[sighs] Okay.

Get the Owl on a private line.

[phone buzzing]

[Yulia] Owl?

I'm here.

Are we gonna have a problem here?

You remember last time?

No problem. Get us the address.

Nahid.

[in Farsi] I'm sorry that because of me...

this happened to you.

But I had no choice.

You lied.

Yes.

To protect us.

I had to make them

believe we would go.

It was the only way I could save us.

Save you.

Do you understand?

You used me!

You used my wishes...

I really thought we were actually getting out.

But there's no reason for us to leave.

You know?

There are a million reasons!

I can't live like this for another second!

Terrified every time there's a knock at the door!

Every time a car passes!

Every time the phone rings!

Come.

I want to show you something.

Nahid! Come with me.

Come with me.

Come with me.

- [Nahid sighs] - Come.

Look.

Look outside.

Do you see?

No one will hurt us anymore.

Wherever we go,

whatever we do.

Do you understand?

You're safe now.

Safer than ever.

[phone ringing]

Yes.

[forensics officer] We've run cross-checks.

There's nothing to connect this man with the Brotherhood

or any other known terrorist group.

Did you check the gun?

That's where it gets interesting.

It matches the ballistics

of a weapon fired in an assassination attempt two months ago,

meaning they might be working with the Zionists.

I'm buying lunch next time.

- Open the door. - [keys jangle]

Ghasemi.

I would expect bruises on you.

Sorry to disappoint.

I have lots of friends.

Peterson saw you with a Mossad agent.

Is Sara Mossad?

What would you have done if you knew?

If I had known...

I know she came to see you.

[scoffs] I went there to bring Peterson back and I didn't know she would be there.

- Where is she now? - How should I know?

- Where is she? - I don't know!

[Ramin sighs]

[Faraz sighs]

Prove your loyalty.

Find her.

Bring her to me,

or you will stay here

until you rot.

Understand?

[sighs]

[in English] Dr. Peterson, this is truly a great day.

Delighted to be here.

Finally.

I'm sorry about the incident the other evening.

My concern was for the security of the components.

I'm glad to see you alive, Doctor.

Are you?

[chuckles]

[in Farsi] Open the door, please.

[device beeps]

[Peterson, in English] Thank you.

[device buzzes]

Here.

You will need to wear this.

We're modeling implosion, compression and yield.

The results are promising.

Right this way, please.

[in Farsi] How is the assembly going?

- [technician] Excellently. - [door shuts]

[Musavi] Well done.

[in English] What is this?

We are working on the assembly.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

I told you at the warehouse.

These components are coming from other nuclear programs from all over the world.

I was to scrutinize each one before we even thought about assembly.

Larijani demanded urgency.

I was told that you might not even be coming here.

Well, I'm here now!

And I believe that firing set may be compromised.

How do you know?

That Nouri woman. Your trusted liaison.

She visited you.

I do not appreciate work being done on this project without my consent.

Well, your professional pride is not high on my list of priorities.

The Nouri woman, as you called her, was part of my plan long before you were.

Our best people are here.

No, they're not.

Your best people are dead.

Killed by foreign governments for their involvement in this program.

You understand the risk I'm taking by being here?

I needed someone I could trust absolutely. I know Shaparak. I knew her husband.

Now, she is to continue running the diagnostics.

You will disassemble the firing set until the proper checks have been done.

I did not go through all of this to test a fucking dud.

Let me be clear.

I have operational authority here.

I'm calling Kamali.

Ever wonder why no one ever tried to kill you?

[device beeping]

[in Farsi] Didn't I tell you not to stay here?

You did.

Do you need a doctor?

No, it's okay.

[Owl, in English] Apartment 304. I'll keep watch.

Third floor.

You listening?

Yes, I just... I need to do this. [taps on phone]

You can't be distracted.

We need to focus on the mission now.

[phone beeps]

PARK RAZMANDEGAN. MASSOUD ABBASSI. YOUR WAY OUT.

NOURI

[in Farsi] Hurry up. Let's go.

Aren't you forgetting something?

- Oh, sorry, Mom. I forgot my bag. - [chuckles] My sweetheart.

Hurry up.

[whispering]

[Owl, in English] What's the holdup?

I couldn't move in yet.

Why not? The intel this woman has is vital to us.

You'll find out.

- [Shaparak, in Farsi] Hi, how are you? - Hello, ma'am, how are you?

[in English] This is why you waited?

[Tamar] She was with her child. What would you have done?

[speaking indistinctly]

She's heading in.

Now there shouldn't be a problem.

- [in Farsi] What is it? - Get inside.

What are you doing?

- Who are you? - Over here.

Please don't hurt me.

I'll sit down. Don't hurt me. I have a little girl.

Don't hurt me, what have I done?

- I have a little girl. - Shut up!

[Shaparak pants] I'm begging you!

Listen, I have a daughter, please don't hurt me.

She's very young. Do you see? Look.

- Please, ma'am. - Where's Peterson?

Who?

Who?

We know you've been in Peterson's room at the hotel.

Hmm?

I don't have time for this shit.

We know he's not in Evin Prison.

And we know what he's really doing.

So, where is he?

[in English] You're Mossad.

Which mean if you call out, I'll kill you and anyone who comes to help you.

Are we clear?

[in Farsi] Give me your phone.

Give me your phone!

[Peterson, in English] Larijani must understand.

I've gotta have total control of that facility,

as agreed with General Mohammadi.

That's what he promised you?

I can't guarantee Larijani's schedule without it.

What did Musavi say?

If that man had any sense, I wouldn't be talking to you.

The answer is no, Doctor.

Did you hear what I just said?

You told Larijani you would meet the schedule if I keep you alive.

Well, you're still alive.

Listen, I believe that we might have to check every single component--

every one--

for signs of compromise.

Scores of them could fail at any moment.

Compromise?

I suspect that the firing set might have been tampered with before it arrived here.

I need a closer look to be sure.

Tampered? By who?

Mossad.

They didn't know about this plan early enough.

How do you know that?

I know.

I'll speak to Larijani immediately.

And my plan...

My arrest, detention...

I was gonna fix everything here and then return to my old life

in a better, calmer world.

Maybe even see my daughter again.

I don't think that's gonna happen now.

No.

Your wife.

I didn't ask. Everything okay?

What did you talk about with Peterson?

Fuck you.

Farzin died because of his involvement in the program.

Don't make the same mistake he did.

One of your fucking people killed him for doing his job.

Right in front of me.

- Killed him for loving his country. - What about my country?

The people he was building a bomb for want to wipe us off the face of the earth.

My husband never got to see his little girl grow up because people like you!

If you don't help me, she'll have no one.

[in Farsi] Scum!

- [in English] Where's Peterson? - [grunts]

I don't know where Peterson is.

They don't tell people like me.

[Tamar] Then you leave me no choice.

- [hammer cocks] - [in Farsi] Wait!

[Shaparak breathes shakily]

[in English] A Jumpdrive.

I have security access.

Maybe you'll be able to use it.

Where is it?

My safe.

[in Farsi] Quickly.

[in English] Get it.

[in Farsi] Okay.

Okay, okay.

[in English] Go!

The key is in the bedroom drawer.

If I help you, you'll-- you'll make sure they won't know it was me?

[Shaparak grunts]

My daughter.

I'm all she has.

[drawer opens]

[Tamar coughs, shouts]

[both grunting, groaning]

[both shout]

- Tamar? - [grunting, groaning]

[coughing]

[horn honks]

[speaks Farsi]

[shouting continues]

[Shaparak, in Farsi] Help!

Quiet!

[grunts]

Neighbors, help me!

You slut! I'll kill you!

[grunting]

Old man. Hands up, or I'll splatter your brains on that wall.

[gasping]

[in English] You gave me a lot of trouble.
