All language subtitles for Beirut.2018.HDRip.XviD.AC3-EVO.HI

[Man] For 4,000 years...

[Continues indistinctly]

Villains and heroes, and
they don't do that here.

Here, you have Jews,
muslims, christians,

all living shoulder to
shoulder, and it's messy.

And the challenge for the
state department, for us...

[Congressman laughs] Sounds like
I'm not gonna get a quick answer.

[Man] Mason's just playing
the diplomat, congressman.

He's been here long enough to
explain this place in a minute.

[Men laughing]

[Congressman] Let's have the shorter
version. Give me the snapshot.

[Mason] I don't know if I'd call
it a snapshot, but I tell people,

"if you wanna understand Lebanon, think
of a boardinghouse without a landlord."

The only thing the
tenants have in common

is their talent for betrayal.

So these people have been living
together, cheek by jowl, 20 centuries.

2,000 years of revenge, blood
feuds, vendetta, murder.

One night there's a storm.

Raining like hell. There's
a knock at the door.

Who is it? It's
the palestinians.

They want in. They've been
up and down the block.

They had doors slammed in their face.
They're cold. They're tired.

They want in and
they want in now.

So the house is thrown
into confusion.

Tenants arguing. Some of
'em violently opposed.

Some think, "let 'em in.
They'll be gone tomorrow."

Some think, "I let
them in tonight",

then I'll have an ally
against my enemy."

Some of 'em are terrified
if they keep the door shut.

So it isn't until after
the palestinians move in

that the other people in the house
realize the tragedy of the situation.

That the palestinians
want nothing more

than to just burn down the
Israeli house next door.

Welcome to Beirut.

- [Congressman laughs]
- [Man] I told you he's good.

- [Congressman] Sure is.
- [Mason] And so it goes.

- [Woman] Mr. Skiles.
- [Blows kiss]

[Mason] Ça va? How are you?

[Both speaking French]

You look beautiful. You look great.
Mason skiles. How do you do?

We have not met. How do you do?

Nice to see you again.
There he is.

We know who we don't
wanna make deals with.

The lessons of Vietnam
have been learned.

And I think our president

has got his own things on the
domestic front to deal with.

But what we definitely don't wanna do is
establish any sort of permanent presence.

- [Mason] Where are you from?
- [Woman] Washington, DC.

Well, good for you. Welcome.
Here we are.

[In French] The
party is a delight.

Thank you!

[In english] We understand
that Beirut, specifically,

and Lebanon, more generally,

has enough people coming in and
trying to put fingerprints on it.

We don't wanna be one of those.

We just wanna make sure everybody
has a fair playing ground

to contribute to a
stable regional economy.

That's what I think.

[Mason chuckles]

The congressman can certainly
speak more to that.

Karim, this is some
friends of ours.

This is Agnes and joanne
from the United Kingdom.

Karim's been keeping
everybody well-fed.

- Good job.
- [Karim] Thank you.

[Woman] How old is he?
He looks young.

He's about 13.

He's from one of the palestinian
refugee camps in west Beirut.

He stuck around, and he's
become a part of the family,

which is very nice.

- My lovely wife, Nadia.
- Nice to meet you.

- [Mason] You know the congressman.
- [Congressman] Are you enjoying Beirut?

- We've been having a very nice time.
- Yeah. Yes.

[Mason] I find it's a beautiful
place, full of beautiful people.

[Nadia] Yes.

One beautiful person
in particular.

[Congressman laughs]

[Mason] As a diplomat in the middle
east, you have to think on your feet.

And the more you do it,
the better you get at it.

When you talk about
making deals,

the most important thing
is to keep talking.

As soon as the talking
stops, the fighting starts.

You need to come in from
a diplomatic standpoint

and explain to everybody involved,
"this is what we have to work with.

These are the pieces on the
game board right now."

Thank you for being here. I'm gonna
leave you in very capable hands.

I've gotta say hi to somebody.

Thanks so much. Good to see you.

Alice. Alice, all alone.

I heard you had congressmen.
[Chuckles]

You know how that
drives me wild.

Where is Cal? I
could use a hand.

He's coming. Just
something at the office.

Everyone behaving themselves?

- It's early.
- [Alice chuckles]

Come on. Let's get you a drink.

- Hungry?
- [Alice] Famished.

[Nadia in arabic]
Hurry up, girls!

It's dinner time!

[Mason] Mmm-mmm. Mmm.

- [In english] How we doing?
- Good.

Christians in one corner,
muslims in the other

and Jack Daniel's in between.

Dinner's close. Everyone here?

Cal's late, but Alice said
we should start without him.

- How are you, sweetie?
- [Nadia sighs]

My next life?

- In your next life, you marry a carpenter.
- Mmm.

[Chuckles]

[Woman speaking arabic]

[Nadia speaking arabic]

[Mason in english]
Where you been hiding?

The drivers out back,
they took everything.

The drivers clean you out?

[In arabic] They live to eat.

- [In english] There you go.
- [Chuckles]

[Mason] Get you reloaded
and back out there.

[Cal] Pardon. Pardon.

- Hey. How are ya?
- [Alice] Hey, sweetie.

Have you seen Mason?

You look tense.

No, no. Just wanna talk
to Mason for a second.

[Alice] What's wrong?

Nothing. I just...

Hello, karim. Look at you.
Don't you look elegant.

- Don't you think so, Cal?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very elegant.

I understand congratulations
are in order.

Nadia told me you did
really well on your exams.

She helped a lot.

But she's not the one who
took the test, is she?

You heard about this, right?

Yeah. Very impressive.
Excuse me, I'm just gonna...

[Mason] Hey! There you are.
I was having a nightmare.

I was gonna have to babysit
these yahoos by myself.

- We need to talk.
- [Mason] You need a drink.

Too much mingling with congressmen
will make you lose faith in democracy.

Indeed. We need to talk.

Mas, we've been through
a lot together. Right?

And somehow we've managed to
steer around the icebergs.

No, thank you.

Cal, spit it out. We have 25 people
out there waiting for dinner.

I've never come to you
with anything operational.

- We've always been clean.
- What the fuck are we talking about?

Karim.

It's about karim. They
want him for questioning.

- Who wants him?
- Everybody.

- He's got a brother. Did you know that?
- [Stutters] What? No, he's got no one.

Why do you think
Nadia took him in?

Rafid abu rajal. They
were separated in '68.

Karim came here to Beirut.

Rafid went to prison for
two years in Jordan.

Hold on.

Where's this going?

Munich.

The brother left a rental car
outside the olympic village.

They've got prints. They've got a witness.
They got this, mas.

That's karim and his brother
six months ago here in Beirut.

They who?

There's an operations supervisor
at the bottom of the driveway.

They want him now.

They who? Mossad?

I can help you. I can't
make this go away.

So it is Mossad.

- Israel just drops a dime...
- Your people are all over this.

This is bullshit.

The state department froze your
security access two hours ago. Okay?

Someone talked. It leaked. It's
gotta be now. It's not safe.

Cal, it's karim for fuck's sake.

You've got the kid brother
of global enemy number one

serving canapes to congressmen.

What are you gonna do?
Drag him out of here?

You think Nadia's gonna go for that? She
just filed papers for his sponsorship.

We just got him a student
visa, for chrissakes.

He's part of the family, Cal.

Not my call.

You go tell your boss that I'll be
down to talk to him in five minutes.

[Cal grunts]

[Mason] Karim, you
be honest with me.

If you lie to me, if you hang
me up, I cannot help you.

Your brother.

Is he dead?

- Is he dead?
- When is the last time you saw him?

Is he dead? Is rafid dead?

He's not dead. Okay?

I need you to answer my question.
When did you see him last?

Months... six months.

Six months where?

He comes to me.

He comes to you where?

I turn around and he's there...

On the street.

[Stutters] On the street.
He's here? In Beirut?

No! In Spain.

He lives in Spain now.

He cooks to make a restaurant.

Why would you lie
to me about this?

[In arabic] Why are you angry?

[In english] Okay. I'm not mad at you.
I'm not mad at you. Okay?

I just need you to tell
me the truth. Okay?

His passport...

He took a Spain passport.

A new name.

He says no one can know.

If I tell anyone, he
loses everything!

I promised him!

[Nadia] What's
going on out here?

Go. Now. Go to the kitchen.
Wait there.

What did he do?

I don't know. Nothing, maybe.
I don't know.

I need to handle this.

Go back inside, make sure
dinner gets out in time, okay?

I'll be back in a few minutes.

This is bad, isn't it?

It's nothing that can't be fixed.
All right?

[Nadia] Karim.

[In French] Are you okay?

What is it?

Huh?

What's wrong?

[Mason in english] I promise I will
have him there. I guarantee it.

First thing tomorrow
at the embassy.

- I'm offering a compromise.
- [Jones] I'm sorry.

I don't have the
authority to negotiate.

That's a tough spot to be in.
I know.

Been in that spot many times.

There's no reason why
this can't run smoothly.

I just don't see that happening.

- Does he know the situation here?
- I've explained it.

Mr. Riley is not here this evening
in a supervisory capacity.

We thought he might be able
to get the man out quietly.

[Mason] "Man"?

This is a 13-year-old boy
we're talking about.

This child is harmless.

This is not an
analysis assignment.

If you can't help me find a
creative solution to my problem,

then I'm gonna ask you to
telephone someone who can.

We've lost that as an option.

Then I suggest you retrace your
steps and figure out where...

- [Gunshots]
- [People screaming]

[Jones] Jesus! Get out...

[Cal] Wait! Mas!

Mason! Hold it.

[People screaming]

[Cal] Watch out! Watch out!

[Karim] Mason! Nadia!

[Nadia] Karim!

[Karim] Nadia!

Karim!

Nadia!

[Man in arabic] Move!

Get him out!

[In english] Help me, Mason!

Mason!

[In arabic] No!

[Mason] No! Please!

Take me!

Leave her!

[Man] Drop your weapon!

[Mason speaking arabic]

[Rafid] Come here, karim!

- [In english] No!
- [Karim] Mason!

[Groans]

Karim.

[In arabic] Drop your weapon!
Or I kill her.

[Speaking arabic]

Please, no!

Please!

[Gunshots]

[Nadia grunts]

Go! Go!

[In english] No, baby. No, baby.
Come on. Stay here with me.

[Reporter over radio] Don't leave
home without that raincoat.

You are going to need it.

Showers will continue in the Boston
area throughout the evening,

tapering off just
after rush hour.

And that's your traffic
and weather on wcpn.

It's 7:15. I'm Jane Emerson.

Coming up in the next half hour,
Jerry torbin discusses the future...

[Continues indistinctly]

[Knocking]

[Officer] Hey, buddy!

You all right in there?

Yes... yes, sir!

[Officer] Well, you don't sound so sure.
Coming or going?

[Mason] No, I'm here. I'm a guest at
the hotel. I was just heading in.

All right. Try sleeping inside.

[Sighs]

[Mason] All right, issue number
five, pension attrition ratio.

We worked our way to
common ground here.

Jerry's gonna accept the national formula
and the union has decided to waive

their "most favored nations" clause.
Great.

Number six, icc
indemnity bonding.

Feels like another
solid compromise here.

We'll cross-collateralize the
premiums with the safety bonuses.

So, we have fewer accidents, fewer claims.
We have a better package. Everybody wins.

All right, guys?

That is six issues we've
taken off the table.

It's important now
to take a look back

and realize how far we've come.

Six of ten.

Of nine.

[Jerry] You see?

You're back with the overtime?
Again with this?

It's never going on the table.

Both sides have to show more cards here.
All right?

The numbers will tell us
which way we're gonna go.

I'm getting raped here, Mason.

- Prove it. Open your books!
- Open your fucking ears. I'm done.

I'm going back to the
office and starting over.

What do you mean by
"starting over"?

I'm going back to
my original offer.

- [Dennis] Is that a threat?
- No. Here's a threat.

I'm gonna start answering my phone,
'cause it's ringing off the hook

with guys who would kill to work for
what I paid you thieves 20 years ago.

[Dennis] You don't got the
balls to lock us out!

- Let's take a break.
- [Jerry] Try me.

[Dennis] I can have a
strike vote in 15 minutes.

Bring it on!

Let's see this strike!

[Men shouting indistinctly]

[Dennis] Fuck you, you piece of fuckin'...
Do you know what? Kiss my fuckin' fat ass!

[Ernie] That went well.

[Mason] They'll cool off.
The deal speaks for itself.

Let them sit with it a bit, let
the downside ring in their ears.

In a couple of days,
they'll be back.

Where do we stand with the
supermarket thing in Providence?

[Ernie] They took a local guy.
A lawyer.

I was gonna tell
you this morning,

but it seemed like you
had a lot on your plate.

Can I buy you a
drink at foley's?

[Ernie] I've been offered a job.

It's New York.

We're still haggling
over the numbers, but...

That's not why I want to wrap things up.
I'm not bailing on you.

You need a rest, mas.

Like, for real.

Get some sun. Walk around.
Take a break.

You're gonna do great
in New York, Ernie.

You'll be fine.

[Woman] Colonel ruzak.

Sanctions.

[Gary] It's confirmed.
They found the car.

- Pack your bag.
- It's in my office, sir.

[Soft rock playing
through speakers]

[Man] Mason?

Mason skiles?

You might not remember me.
Ray Sullivan?

Sure.

You arbitrated a barter for
us a couple years back.

A fiber optics project
down in needham?

- Sully. Of course. Of course.
- [Chuckles]

- How are you? I'm sorry.
- No. Relax.

Happens to me ten times a day.
Who can keep track?

Yeah. We're just here
negotiating labor settlements.

Just killing time while both
sides cool down a little bit.

[Sully] I know. I spoke to your partner.
He told me you might be here.

I got a wake-up call this morning.
Kind of a fire alarm.

Friends in Washington. Old friends.
Well, mutual friends.

They know I'm in the area and
they asked me to talk to you.

American university in Beirut.

I guess they had someone lined up
to give a lecture later this week,

and he canceled on them.

"Cross-cultural
arbitration" was the topic.

So, my friends, your credentials,
your being an alumni and all,

they were hoping
you might fill in.

There's a check.

$6,500 and a first-class ticket.

I wouldn't go back to Beirut if
it was the last place on earth.

Flight leaves Logan
at 8:45 tonight.

It sounds like you got about six
hours to find somebody else.

I was told that's not an option.

Look, I have no idea
what's happening here.

It'd be a hell of a lot easier
for both of us if I did.

But I was told to tell you that

time is extremely tight

and the agency would be deeply
grateful for your cooperation.

It's a serious request.
They know that.

Tell 'em I don't
have a passport.

They put one in with the ticket.

Great seeing you, ray.

Do me a favor, will ya?

You miss the flight,
this never happened.

[Answering machine beeps]

[Ernie over phone] This is the
last message I'm leaving,

because this is bullshit.

Dennis called a strike about an hour ago.
Maybe you know that.

I'm in New York. Pam has my keys.
I don't know what else to say.

You wanna talk, you
know where to find me.

[Sandy] Mason Francis skiles.

45 years old.

Postgrad at Oxford in
arabic and mideast studies.

He comes here in 1962 on
a teaching fellowship.

He's recruited foreign service in
'63 for immediate posting to Cairo.

Then Damascus,
'65, Tel Aviv '68.

1969, he's reassigned to DC

as assistant undersecretary
for mideast affairs.

He marries. He's published.
He's widely quoted.

Kissinger takes a shine to him,

throws him a working group
at the Paris peace talks.

And in '71 he jumps the line.
He comes back to Beirut,

where he was appointed deputy
chief of mission here.

And his wife... I guess Don ran
that by you on the ride in.

The incident at
skiles' house in '72?

His wife and the abu
rajal brothers?

I can read, Ms. Crowder.

What I need to know is
where he stands now.

[Sandy] Well, he left Beirut in '73
before the civil war kicked in.

He was the senior trade negotiator for
the Boston merchandising council,

and then he left there three
years ago to go private.

And now he just has this
small two-man firm.

Mostly local labor issues.

[Sighs]

So, from kissinger
to the crapper.

[Sandy] Mm-hmm. He has
a drinking problem.

[Gary] Christ. How bad?

[Sandy] They had to pour
him on to the plane.

Like we've got time for this nonsense.
Talk to me, Don.

He's damaged goods.

Front-runner who stumbled.

But he's manageable.

Frank? You knew him when.

Don't play cards with him, Gary.

Take it easy.

[Man] Mr. Skiles!

Mr. Skiles!

Bernard teppler. American university.
Absolute pleasure to have you here.

- Let me take...
- [Gunshots]

- [Woman screaming]
- [Indistinct chatter]

Welcome to Beirut.

We're thrilled to have you here.
Let me take that for you.

[Bernard] I'll be your
liaison with the university.

Get you where you need to get.

Beirut's changed quite a
bit in the past ten years.

You missed quite the civil war.

My itinerary says I'm staying
at the l'admiral hotel.

Yes, indeed. We've booked
you the deluxe suite.

On the shelling side, I'm afraid.
Beachside was full.

Why aren't we taking rue du nabil?
It's faster.

Rue du nabil's not good today.

Big car bomb last night.
Many people killed.

Who lit that fuse?

[Bernard chuckles] Well, it's Beirut, Mr.
Skiles. Depends who you ask.

PLO says it's amal militia. Amal
militia says it's Christian militia.

Christian militia says it's the druze.
Druze says it's the Syrian army.

Listen to the radio
from Damascus,

it's the Israelis making excuses
to come across the border.

Ask Israel... Ah, for
them it's always the PLO.

Not the PLO. My wife says
it was gamaeet El cheea.

What do you say?

[Driver] I say we
skip rue du nabil.

[Children shouting]

[Car honks]

[Driver] They're
checking papers, sir.

[Bernard] Oh, fuck it. I'm
afraid I'll need your passport.

Nothing to worry about. PLO
run a decent checkpoint.

[Arabic music playing
through speakers]

- Passport.
- [Bernard] Hold on.

Welcome to the green line.

This road divides east
and west Beirut now.

One of the civil war's
charming new landmarks.

Muslims to the west.
Christians to the east.

Not much room for the rest of
us, but there you have it.

Thank you! Thank you so much.

Shit.

[Sighs]

[Woman] %... till it hurts %

% I know you hurt, too but
what else can we do %

% tormented and torn apart %

% I wish I could carry your
smile in my heart... %

monsieur. S'il vous plait?

% it would make me believe
what tomorrow could bring %

% when today doesn't
really know %

% doesn't really know %

% I'm all out of love... %.

Mr. Skiles? Mr. Skiles? Hi.
I'm Sandy crowder.

I'm the deputy cultural
attaché at the embassy.

So nice to meet you.

What a surprise.

I help out at the
university sometimes.

They told me you were
here for the lectures.

- I know you just got in...
- Yeah. No, I just... please. Please.

No, I left my car out front.

Perhaps you'd like to
get out of the hotel?

[Chuckles] Oh. You know what?

That's funny. I was just thinking
I could use a tour guide.

- Really?
- No.

So why don't we stand
here and pretend

while you tell me what kind of
trouble I've gotten myself into.

The ambassador's hosting
a recital this evening,

and I was thinking
of stopping in.

You're just gonna keep smiling at
me no matter what I say, right?

Why don't I meet you out front?

[Instrumental music playing]

[Indistinct chatter]

Good god. Mason.

Ambassador whalen.

It's shocking, I'm sure.
[Chuckles]

Good seeing you, frank.

I seriously doubt that, but
I appreciate the effort.

[Mason] Congratulations
on all this.

Now I know you're fucking with me.
[Laughs]

Why don't you go and find Don?
We'll be right up.

- Uh, flight good?
- Good enough.

[Frank] You get a look around?

- [Mason] Yeah. What's left of it.
- [Frank] Breaks your heart?

I tell you, Mason. You
missed one hell of a fight.

PLO started tossing bombs.
Government pushed back.

Israel got involved.

And what did we get?
50,000 dead.

City carved up like
a goddamn pizza.

And the PLO, they're still here,
hoping the cease-fire holds.

'Cause now we've got Israel down
the road licking their chops,

looking for an excuse to drive up and
show us what great weapons we got 'em.

- Mason skiles, uh, colonel Gary ruzak.
- Nice to see you.

- [Frank] National security council.
- [Mason] How you doing?

- Um, thirsty?
- Sure. Uh, bourbon. Neat.

Before we get started,

I want you to know we're all
keenly aware of what you've done.

And what is that?

Coming out here. No notice. No info.
It's been duly noted.

[Frank] I think you know Don gaines,
our chief political officer here.

Been a while.

Long time.

Here you go. Have a seat.

Okay.

Wow. Two spies, the white
house and an ambassador.

Maybe one of you can actually
tell me what I'm doing here.

Have you talked to anybody
in the area recently?

- [Mason] No.
- [Don] You had a lot of friends here.

- You must keep in touch with some?
- No.

A phone call? Christmas card?

- Where we going with this?
- [Don] It's a simple question.

Who's in charge here?

We all serve the president.

Unless he's the next one
to pop through that door,

why don't you step up and tell
me what the fuck's going on.

Three nights ago, an American was
pulled off the street in west Beirut.

The next morning,
we got a communiqué

from a group calling itself the
militia of islamic liberation.

Very clean. No rhetoric.

They have the guy,
they wanna talk.

They want you to
broker the deal.

They asked for you specifically.

Who would do that?

[Frank] We know who it's not.

It's not mainstream PLO.

- That's a minority opinion.
- [Frank] Come on.

The last thing they want is Israeli
tanks rolling across the border.

They won't risk
something like this.

Right now, we're not ruling out anyone.
Everything is in play.

What is it you want me to do?

You're an experienced negotiator.
Negotiate.

I'm here because some lunatic
pulled my name out of a hat.

Your kidnappers clearly
wanna make a deal.

They got back fast. They're responsive.
They're specific.

You have something
that they want.

Call their bluff.
Tell them I'm out.

Let the downside of that ring
in their ears for a while.

If they bite, great. You
have your first concession.

[Scoffs] Honestly, I'm a little surprised.
I thought I'd see Cal here tonight.

Cal Riley?

Cal's the hostage.

[Don] You guys
were pretty close.

When's the last time
you talked to him?

Jesus. Uh...

Ten years ago? I...

[Don] Radio silence? Nothing?

Yeah, no. Yeah.

[Sandy] We believe
Cal requested you.

Based on what?

Nothing specific, but...

No, no, no, no, no...

No, I don't see that happening.

[Don] Cal's my co.

We run half the agency's mideast
operation off this desk.

Do you understand
what that means?

Yeah. You're afraid he'll talk.

Afraid?

He's been here 13 years. The
guy's a walking playbook.

- At the moment nothing's blown.
- [Gary] That we know of.

This goes bad, we don't even
know where to begin wrapping up.

We're playing the waiting game.
It's their move.

[Gary] So, the question I need
answered from you right now is...

Can we count on you to play along
until we get our feet on the ground?

[Don] So, here's our story.
We never mention Cal.

He's on assignment, and
nobody needs to know.

Ruzak doesn't arrive in Beirut till
tomorrow, so you've never met him.

We brought you here tonight

because we wanted to find out
what you're doing in town.

[Mason] This isn't
really my thing, gaines.

[Don] Sure it is.
It's Texas hold 'em.

Two cards down, and everything
else is on the table.

Just play the reality.

You're a confused 40-year-old widower
in the middle of a long winter.

You're pretending
to give a lecture,

but the truth is you don't really know
what you're doing or why you came.

Reality.

Your name appears out of nowhere,
and we get real nervous. Reality.

We roll you up for a look, and you
resent our interest. Reality.

So, I'm leaving here pissed off?

Works for me.

What about Ms. Crowder?

Well, it's a widely held belief

that dangling a skirt in front of a
jet-lagged American man of your age

is a high percentage play.

We done here?

You suddenly became
really important.

Is that a mistake?

I don't know. Reality.

[Sandy] Gaines was
just testing you.

Everyone's under a
lot of pressure.

- Isn't that what you're after?
- What's that supposed to mean?

You wouldn't be here if it
wasn't for the action, right?

- You think I'm here for the thrills?
- I don't know.

No, you don't.

All right, fine. Enlighten me.
What's your story, Ms. Crowder?

I'm a skirt in a car driving an
irritated tourist back to his hotel.

Hey, can we take a quick detour?

To where?

[Mason] I'll show you
where I used to live.

[Sandy] Wow.

The PLO had a
transmitter up here.

Ten months ago, just before the
cease-fire, the Israelis took it out.

Must have been beautiful.

It sure was.

In every way.

Ski in the morning, swim in the
afternoon, party all night?

No, not just that.

What we were doing was
what we wanted to do.

We were happy.

I'm not sure how that
turned into this.

I'm good.

Cal still with Alice?

As far as I know, yeah.

- So, where is she?
- They have an apartment in Athens.

Alice moved there with the family
when the fighting started.

Cal stayed in Beirut. It's
impossible with kids here.

She knows I'm involved?

I'm not sure gaines
has told her yet.

- We should head out.
- Hold on. Wait, wait.

What's your take on all this?
Honestly.

Do you think they want to
save Cal or the information?

That's an ugly question.

You must have thought about it.

I'm too busy worrying whether you're
gonna come through for us or not.

Okay, fine. Just pretend for a minute
that I'm actually gonna do my job.

Who am I working for?

The white house? The state department?
Don gaines?

Make Cal your client.

Unless you blame him for
what happened here.

Is that what it says in my file?

Listen, we all fucked up here.

Every one of us.

[Pop music playing]

Shoot, double up.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Inaudible]

[Cal] It'll be
transported to Paris.

I gotta tell you, mas,

Alice has been pretty adamant
about going to the service.

[Mason] I'll call you
when I get there.

If not now, then maybe we'll
do something later, stateside.

You can tell her that.

I keep thinking that
I can take this.

- You're gonna be fine.
- Bullshit.

Sooner or later, you're gonna realize
that none of this was your fault.

Every time you say
that, it cuts me.

Then I'll stop saying it.

- Take care of yourself, Cal.
- Hey, mas...

Mason.

Mason!

[Bernard] Mason.

Mr. Skiles.

Mr. Skiles.

Mr. Skiles, good
morning to you, sir.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Bernard] Bloody traffic! Look,
we're already late. She's waiting.

Look, uh, it's the blue Renault
across the street there.

Can you see it? Right there.

Off you pop.

All right.

[Bernard] Mr. Skiles!

Quick as you can.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Speaking arabic]

Are you fucking kidding?

What?

I'm talking about the card game.

I was told to act naturally.

Well, bashir, your new friend...

The host?

He's the PLO minister
of commerce.

I didn't get a revolutionary
vibe off him.

[Sandy] He's a long way
from the homeland.

He's got a house in Spain
and a condo in sidon

and a Belgian hooker
named sandrine

he keeps in a luxury
apartment in rue hamra.

- [Mason] How the hell does that work?
- The airlines.

He's pulling over a
million a month,

'cause he's the guy who guarantees the PLO
won't blow your plane out of the sky.

You mind telling me
where you're taking me?

The kidnappers called at 6:00 A.M. they
know you're here. They want to meet.

[Don] Sent a comm signal
out about 20 minutes ago,

we just got called back.

We've got four million in
cash in the embassy safe.

There's a naval cruiser
stationed offshore

with a seal team on standby.

We've got approval to retarget
the observation satellites.

We've got all the
pieces in place.

We just gotta hope there's somebody
worth talking to. Let's go.

You all right? You look
a little jet-lagged.

I'm fine.

[Don] All right, let's go.

[Speaking arabic]

[Explosions]

[Don] It's the Syrian air force.

I don't know what the
fuck they're doing there.

Shit getting closer, though.

[Both speaking arabic]

[Man] Hey! Don't move!
Don't move!

[In english] Don't move!
No, no, no.

[Speaking arabic]

We send in four of ours.
We hold four of theirs.

We finish, we go back
the way we came.

All right. We're playing by
ear from here on out, Mason.

Follow our lead, we'll be fine.

Gaines does the talking.
Understand?

- Just another pretty face.
- All right, let's go.

[In arabic] Sit.

We've been waiting.

[In english] He says
they've been waiting.

[Explosion in distance]

[In arabic] How may we be
sure that this man is alive?

You will trust in my word.

Which one of you is skiles?

[In english] Now he's
asking who's skiles?

Tell him this isn't
much to go on.

[In arabic] We are
concerned that the...

My question remains unanswered!

[In english] I'm skiles.

[In arabic] I am curious...

My friends are curious.

How is it that I can help
where others cannot?

No, no, no, no!

I'm not here to
answer questions.

I'm here to tell you
what must happen.

- [In english] I ask the questions.
- [In arabic] Sir...

Demands can be thrown
through the embassy window.

We've come to hear your voice.

And to let you hear ours.

[Hussein] My voice?

These men should speak!

This man saw his mother
and sister blown up

two days ago at
barjesh kjehelem.

[Explosion]

Do you know that sound?

The sound of American bombs
falling from zionist planes.

Perhaps you should ask
him what it is he needs!

Sir!

Enough!

So... tell us. Tell us.

What is the price of
our man's freedom?

The price?

- Where do you think you are, the souk?
- [Repeats in english]

[In arabic] You think we're
selling you lipstick?

[In english] Yes, saiyid! The
market is now open for business.

Come in! Come in!

- [Man 1 in arabic] What have you done?
- Don't question me.

[Man 2 in english]
Everything okay in there?

[In arabic] Take
him out of here.

[Speaking arabic]

[Don in english] It's okay.

Everyone stay where they're at.

[In arabic] Everything is okay!

[In english] Okay, we'll stand by.
Okay.

[Man] I apologize.

My friend was old.

He was confused by... anger.

I know when we speak to
America, we need clarity.

We need to choose
word carefully.

You agree, Mr. Skiles?

Have I changed so much?

What the hell is this?

You know this guy?

Yes, I do.

Karim.

Karim abu rajal.

You look older.

So do you.

[Explosion]

[Karim] I apologize
for the circumstance.

I'm afraid we don't have
a lot of time here.

- [Mason] You're apologizing a lot.
- [Gary] Jesus Christ.

- What do you want?
- [Gary] What the fuck?

You're gonna let
that man fuck us?

My brother.

Rafid abu rajal.

He is known to you.

Yes.

I will trade Cal Riley for
the return of my brother.

What makes you think
we have your brother?

Not you. Israel.

[Stutters] Why come to us?

Why go to the son when
the father is so close?

[Explosions continue]

You're saying the Israelis have abu rajal
in custody and they're keeping it quiet?

I think we would know
something about that.

He was with friend at the border
in the south. Now he's missing.

You understand my offer?

Yes. Straight up, Cal
for your brother.

I've explained my terms.

[Speaking arabic]

- [Don] Wait.
- Describe Cal's condition.

Alive.

- [Gary] How do we contact you?
- I trade only with Mr. Skiles.

[Don] Why?

Because he doesn't
trust you, either.

Hold on a minute. What
if they're not lying?

If they can't find your brother,
come up with an alternative.

[Karim] Alternative?

This is alternative.

[Sandy] A, they killed him
and haven't told us yet.

[Don] For chrissakes,
it's Israel.

[Sandy] B, they killed
him and don't know it.

C, they have him
and don't know it.

He's been picked up but
hasn't been ID'd yet.

[Gary] The guy they've been
hunting the last ten years?

- I don't think so.
- [Sandy] D, he's hiding.

He's been driven so deep, his own
people don't know where he is.

E, f, g, they have him in Tel Aviv in a
cage with a little socket in his ear.

Does it even matter?

You think if they have him,
they'll just let him out,

so he can blow up another
bus full of Israelis?

You got your checkbook.

It's abu rajal. Are you kidding me?
He's Munich!

There's always a number.

Never happen.

It's worth a meeting.

And say what? Tell them about Cal?
We do that and he's blown.

We don't say anything, go in,
drop a bomb, see what happens.

Come on, get me a
meeting in Israel.

Wait a minute...

You know I can do
things you can't.

I don't have to be here when this blows up.
I can play hard.

These are our friends. You're
over your fucking head.

- [Mason] Okay.
- You're over your head.

What's Cal's value on the open market?
That some big secret?

You think karim is the only one
that knows he hit the jackpot here?

How long do you think he
holds that gang together?

How long before one of
those guys gets ambitious

or pissed off or does
something sloppy or stupid?

I'm sorry, right now
your only problem

is getting the abu rajal
brothers back together.

And whether rafid
blows up another bus

is something you'll need to worry
about later, after Cal is safe.

You don't have time to be polite, and
you cannot afford to be predictable.

You need cards to play, and
you need them right now.

So, unless someone else
has a better idea,

I say we go rattle the Israelis
before they can stonewall us.

[Roni] I'm sorry, this
is a waste of time.

Rafid abu rajal? Seriously?

- What's going on here, Gary?
- I don't...

If you don't have him, it
doesn't really matter, does it?

I think it's safe to say that if we
knew where he was, he'd be dead.

And we're saying that he might
be worth more to us alive.

- Why?
- [Mason] We're not here to say why.

We're just here to see
if the market's open.

Is this about you looking for
the man who killed your wife?

- Would that get the ball rolling?
- [Roni] There's no ball.

You came all the way
here just for this?

- [Gary] No.
- Okay. Hold on.

Hypothetically...

Just for fun...

Let's say you did have him.

What would it take?
What's on your wish list?

Sky is the limit.

[Roni] I'm sorry, Gary.

Someday you're gonna have to
tell me what this was all about.

[Gary] I must be out of my
mind for bringing you here.

[Mason] Relax!

I can't even think of all
the ways this is fucked.

They're coming back to us.

These are people I have to
deal with every day, Mason.

We're not done yet here, Gary.

Are you drunk or delusional?

We're in play. You
need to be ready.

- Back to the airport.
- Yes, sir.

- The curiosity's driving your buddy crazy.
- [Gary chuckles]

You are. You're delusional.

Okay. Put up or shut up.

I say they call
before we take off.

If I'm wrong, I'm off your back.

I'm right, in the next meeting,
the one they throw me out of,

you're gonna stick around
and close the deal.

I'm begging you to
shut the fuck up.

- [Guard] Mr. Ruzak?
- Yeah?

There's a call for you.

[Herzberg] Munich Olympics.

Madrid. 16 Israeli tourists.

A synagogue in Istanbul.
14 victims. Children.

El al flight 305. 46 dead.
Families.

All of this, rafid abu rajal.

So how much?

We know what we're asking.
We don't know the price.

If we had him, we would
never let him go.

That's a tough opening.

Is this man deaf?

- I think we're off the track.
- It's a simple question. How much?

We never said we had him.

- Then what are we doing here?
- No! What the hell are you doing here?

- [Scoffs]
- Wait for me.

Wait for me.

[Door closes]

- Hypothetically...
- They have him.

Eh. They won't say. They're
gonna take another look.

He might be "lost"
in the system.

[Whispers] I think they have him.
I think they have him.

What do they want?

You mean other than to make sure
you're not involved? [Chuckles]

Syria has antiaircraft bunkers
all over the bekaa valley.

Half of them are decoys. They
want better satellite imaging.

That's it?

Two dozen Syrian targets
they don't have eyes on?

Take my word, it's a major piece
of strategic intelligence.

Did you tell them it was Cal,
or did they already know?

Did you really think they
were gonna make a blind deal?

Of course I told them.

This isn't the new england
chamber of commerce.

You've got us in there

playing good cop, bad cop with
the world heavyweight champions.

Look, we got lucky, okay? But
that's the end of the flimflam.

From here on out, you're
our spokesman to karim.

That's it. End of story.

Now, this is bullshit
up and down!

Syrian bunkers, my ass. Those are
Russian-built installations.

[Don] We're running out of time.

- [Frank] Are you kidding me?
- [Gary] They just want the imaging!

[Mason] Here you go.

Thank you.

[Arguing indistinctly]

Don't say a word.

[Frank] You're talking about
jeopardizing us-Soviet relations.

[Gary] That's why Washington's
gonna be making decisions.

We spoke with the minister, frank.
He was very direct.

They give us abu rajal, we give
them satellite pictures...

[Frank] Those pictures
are the only thing

keeping the Israelis from
crossing the border.

[Gary] Little dramatic.

[Frank] You take
away those rockets

and the Israeli air force does
whatever they want to up here.

You give them that intel,

we might as well hand the PLO
their life preservers tonight.

- You think Riley's worth that?
- [Don] Come on, guys.

- Are you serious?
- [Frank] Y ou like this, don't you, Gary?

Two birds? One stone?

You've been trying to push an
Israeli invasion along for months.

You might want to
check with your boss.

- I'm not the Christmas help.
- I'll be calling the secretary.

- Do what you have to do.
- [Frank] Count on it.

See what you been
missing around here?

We're putting a plan in place.

Well, we're in play.
That's the good news.

Let's see what comes back.

Did you get a
chance to tell him?

Alice is in town. She flew
in from Athens this morning.

She's obviously upset.

She's gone back to their old apartment,
which is no longer a safe neighborhood.

We need to get her out of there.

He's on his way.

- [Knock at door]
- Ma'am, skiles is here.

Alice.

[Mason] If that's for me...

No?

It's warm anyway.

They've had the
electricity off all day.

Don gaines told me you
were an alcoholic.

Guess that makes sense.

God knows what he says about me.

I know it's a lot to
take in right now.

I know they want me out of here.

You've got the girls
to think about.

You say that as
if you know them.

The girls are fine. They're
living with my parents...

In blissful ignorance
of all things adult.

Do you think Cal's still alive?

I do.

People seem very motivated.

How they seem? In Beirut?
[Scoffs]

Most of the people you're talking
to would love to see him disappear.

People like who?

Cal thought he'd earned the
right to have an opinion.

You'd think someone with so many secrets
would be able to keep their mouth shut.

- About what?
- Seriously?

Israel will fail here.

They'll drown, like everyone
who came before them.

Just don't dare say it out loud.

- Is that what he's done?
- Oh, for chrissake.

Look, Alice, I'm doing
everything I can.

- To do what?
- To save him.

Well, you've proven
you can crush him.

Bringing him back to life
may be a little harder.

Oh, god, this place.

Staying here...

All the things we might've done.

We could've gone anywhere.

You, know, I think
really, in the end,

he's been waiting for you to come
back and tell him it's okay to leave.

And here you are.

But it's too late.

You can tell them I'm
leaving tonight.

And you owe me a favor.

When you left Beirut,
I packed your house.

Dishes, papers, Nadia's
clothes, all of it...

Cal doesn't make it out of here,
you pack this place up for me.

I think that's fair.

She's ready to go.

- He's on his way down.
- [Sandy over radio] Copy.

[Boy] Monsieur skiles.

[In arabic] Come, come!

We don't have a lot of time.

[In english] He's on his way?

[Man over radio] Yeah.
He's coming to you.

[Boy speaking arabic]

[Sandy] Mason?

Mason?

[Mason and boy speaking arabic]

[In French] He disappeared.
Let's move.

[In arabic] Slow down!

[In english] Get her out
of there right now.

[Speaking French]

Fuck.

[Mason in arabic] Slow down.

Follow me!

[Speaking arabic]

No, no further.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

[Shouting indistinctly]

[In english] No.

[Karim in arabic] Get in!

[Breathing heavily]

[In english] You went to Israel.

Yes, karim, they said
maybe they have him.

- So, now we're waiting.
- What? Maybe?

You wait for them?

Bullshit! You wait for nothing!

- You... shut up!
- We are trying. They know it's important.

You have to tell them
to make it work!

Karim, I got back two hours ago!
We are trying.

[In arabic] Find a stop.

- [In english] I need to see Cal.
- Impossible.

I need to see Cal
and speak to him.

Find rafid first.

- If I had your brother, I'd let you talk.
- Impossible.

It's only impossible
if he's dead.

[In arabic] Get out.

[In english] Are you kidding me?
I'm supposed to trust you now?

[In arabic] Get out!

[In english] You're
the reason I'm here!

I gave my life up
to protect you!

[In arabic] Get out!

[In english] Listen to me very closely
if you want to see your brother again.

I don't make a move
until I talk to Cal.

[Shouts in arabic]

[Grunts]

[Crying]

We don't have him.

What?

- We looked.
- No.

We don't have him.

- The wheels are in motion, roni.
- Oh, we should worry?

You wait three days to tell
us Cal Riley is a hostage?

What if he talks? We might
have people in danger now.

[Gary] Without abu rajal, this
doesn't give me many options.

- [Roni] Work with what you have.
- And what do I have? Say it.

You had the whole ride
up to think about it.

You know what I want, Gary.

Say it.

Make this the moment.

Make Riley the breaking point.

"Us embassy staff grabbed off
the streets, kidnapped, killed.

The monsters have taken over Lebanon.
Something needs to be done."

Give us the green light. We could
clear this place out in a month.

[Stutters] Just burn Cal and give
Israel the keys to the city?

We should worry for him?

- He's been a Thorn in our side for years.
- Cal's network? His assets?

You think the agency's just
gonna throw all that away?

If he's not back soon,
they won't have a choice.

[Gary] Oh, god.

You've got lemons, Gary.

Make some lemonade.

[Indistinct chatter]

You have any idea how many
people we have looking for you?

Obviously, not enough.

This kid, the messenger, says what?
"Follow me"?

He gave me a note. It had
one word on it. "Karim."

I didn't have a lot of
time to make a decision.

- No one shows up?
- No, the kid bails on me.

I fall down, walk back here.

I didn't see anybody out
there looking for me.

[In French] I'm not staying.

Another one for me, please.

[In english] Take off your belt.

What?

Under the table.

I'm giving you a new belt.

A transmitter?

I can't lose you again.

Now, do us both a favor.

You're speaking at the university
tomorrow, so make that your nightcap.

And get something to eat.

Merci.

[Gary] We're five days
and counting, gaines.

How much longer can you wait before
you start pulling Cal's people?

- [Don] I don't know.
- [Gary] You don't know?

What if this is all bullshit,

and they've been working
Cal over from the start?

That's Mossad talking.

Fuck that, it's common sense.

But I hate to say it, gaines,

Cal talks...

You want to be waiting for bodies
to pile up on the embassy sidewalk?

Tel Aviv loves this, don't they?

We're gonna lose every asset we've got.
They'll be the only game left in town.

It's a tough decision,

but I need to know you're
thinking about it clearly.

Just give me 12 more hours.

Maybe we'll get lucky.

What the hell are we
gonna do with skiles?

[Gary] Do with him?
He's a drunk.

He's got the belt now,
so keep an eye on him.

He fucks anything up, well...

It's always good to
have someone to blame.

[People laughing]

Thank you. Yes, and next question.
You.

With the striped shirt and the glasses.
And do speak up. Don't be shy.

Mr. Skiles,

you worked on the Paris peace
talks when you were very young.

Was that your first negotiation?

Uh...

My first? No.

No, not by a long shot. Uh...

I was raised as an only child in a
very small home with two people

who basically hated each other
just enough to stay together.

[All laughing]

So, I guess you could say I've been
mediating since before I was born.

So, to give you some kind of context,
when I was about nine years old,

[through speakers] One
night my father came home

from one of his
girlfriends' house.

And my mother served him
for dinner that night

about a dozen of his
best racing pigeons.

[Chuckles]

It would be about ten more years

before I heard the term
"mutually assured destruction,"

but rest assured, I was very familiar
with it growing up in that...

[people screaming]

[Feedback through headphones]

Go, go! Go! [In French]
Look for channel 5!

[Man in english] No, channel 6.

- [In english] Get me my beacon.
- Working on it.

[Man] Let me help you, sir.
Mr. Teppler.

The pharmacy jumblatt! Jumblatt!

What?

Jumblatt near the
druze cemetery!

Pharmacy jumblatt!

You leave now. Alone.

- You understand? You need to go now!
- Yes! Yes!

I need crowder on the line now.

[Comm boss] Crowder's in a Van outside.
Pick it up. Line two.

Sandy? What happened?
Where's skiles?

I have no idea. Unknown.

Where the hell's my beacon?

I can't get a fix.
We have to move.

Hey, where is he?

He's gone. He's gone.

- [In French] He disappeared.
- We're going to leave.

[In english] We're on the move.

Do not lose him!

Shit! Skiles is Mia.

- Missing or taken?
- I don't know, but he's got the belt.

- I want that signal relayed in here!
- [Comm boss] Yes, sir. I'm on it.

- Let's get a flag up for the ops team.
- Got it.

Ethan, get me a line
to the seals ops team.

It's not safe here, friend.

[In arabic] Thank you.

[Driver speaking arabic]

[Breathing heavily]

[Man in arabic]
Stop where you are.

Don't move.

Put this on.

[Man in english] Okay, 300 yards.
Straight ahead. Signal's good.

Three hundred yards. Clear signal.
Signal's locking in.

They're moving
southwest 200 yards.

[Sandy in French] Go
left on rue de l'armée!

[Man in english] Heading off the left now.
Stabilizing.

Stabilizing?

[Man] Signal's
still stabilizing.

[Radio beeping]

It's stationary.

- [Speaking arabic]
- [In arabic] Search him!

Let's go, search him.

[In english] Get me an address.

- Can we get an address right away?
- Gaines, come here.

- We're sending them in?
- Mmm-hmm.

Tell crowder to get out of there
now before this gets loud.

[Speaking arabic]

[In arabic] Come on, hurry!

[Ops member in english]
Don't fucking move!

Hands where I can see 'em!
Keep your hands up!

Don't fucking move! Not a move!

Motherfucker!

[Speaking arabic]

You have one minute.

[Exhales]

[Mason] Hey, Cal.

You're not hallucinating.
It's Mason.

Are you okay? You look okay.

[Breathing heavily]

I'm here to help you, but we
don't have a lot of time.

We gotta work quick.

- Mason, how did you get here?
- Stop. Listen to me. All right?

Now, rafid abu rajal is missing.

And we're trying to
make a trade for you.

- The brother?
- Yes.

They asked me to come
and make a deal.

Now I want you to listen
to me very carefully.

They sent me to Israel
to try to find him.

You know how wild
it can get there,

and you have to goose
things along sometimes

and chase things you
don't wanna chase.

Israel? No, no,
that's not who...

Karim has been very patient.

Karim's been very patient.

But your friends...

Your friends at the embassy...

They like this idea.

Yeah.

I don't have many
friends as I used to.

Okay, you can see
everything's okay.

I think we all need friends.

Cal, I know I could use a friend.
I could use someone to trust.

Right? Don't you
think that's true?

People can trust people

based on whether or not they
have something to gain?

Right? What do you
think about that, Cal?

What do you think
about those gains?

Do you think those
gains can be trusted?

No.

No, I wouldn't
trust those gains.

I'd feel a lot safer in a crowd.

In a crowd?

- More of a crowd.
- That's enough.

On a Sandy beach.

- [Karim] That's enough.
- Sandy.

It's enough.

- Have you talked to Alice?
- Mm-hmm.

Get her to show you the
picture in my apartment.

- Time is over.
- You need abu rajal?

That's all they want.

Tell Alice I pray
she loves me only.

- What?
- Stop.

Tell her I pray she
loves me only!

- I pray she loves me only!
- Stop!

I pray she loves me only!

- What was that?
- You told me I could talk to him.

You have seven hours.

- How do I contact...
- No. Talking is finished.

You come to fadya crossing at 2:30 A.M.
with my brother.

Karim, that's not possible.

Okay. So I sell Riley to the iranians.
Good luck with them.

Fadya crossing, 2:30.

[Men speaking arabic]

[Sighs]

[Exhales]

[Sandy] Stop!

Put the bottle down.

- Think the gun is really necessary?
- I wish I knew.

[In French] Come up, come up.
He's here.

[Mason in english] You might
want to wait a second.

What the fuck are
you doing here?

I'm here looking for something
that Cal told me was important.

Turn around.

- When was this?
- About an hour ago.

Tell me something I can believe.

- Cal told me I could trust you.
- Sorry.

And that gaines was
not on our side.

- Who are you working for?
- My friend.

Yeah? Cal or karim?

He told me to look
for a photo album,

that there was something
important in it.

Where is he?

- He's okay.
- Where?

I don't know. We drove around.

- I was blindfolded.
- You took off the belt.

Yes. Are you kidding?

You think I want ruzak dialing in a
rocket strike on my last known location?

There's nothing in
that photo album.

There's nothing here, Sandy.
What is going on?

Don gaines has been skimming
money from the station budget.

There's a bank in Cyprus
and all this shit.

Cal found out and
wrote a grievance.

That's what you've
been looking for.

Cal wrote it up, but
he wanted to wait

through the cease-fire
before he blew the whistle.

And I took it out
of the photo album.

I didn't want Alice to find
it and light the fuse.

Gaines is a thief and Cal knows about it.
You don't find that problematic?

- Don doesn't know any of this.
- Would you bet Cal's life on that?

Wouldn't matter.
Cal's too valuable.

No, Sandy. Now, Cal
is expendable.

He's a threat to gaines and
a speed bump to ruzak.

They're just gonna burn him.

Now they don't have to wait.

What do you mean?

Karim has given us six hours
to deliver the brother.

You're wrong. We've
got a deadline.

They'll get the white house involved.
Israel has to budge.

Israel never had abu rajal.

They never said they did. It cost
them nothing to toy with ruzak.

[Rami] Sandy?

[In French] Yes, I'm here.

[In english] Listen. Listen to me.
Listen to me. Listen to me.

Cal called it, okay? He kept
saying, "pray. Love. Only.

Pray. Love. Only."

I think he's right.

I think the PLO have abu rajal.

[Rami in French]
What are we doing?

Get the car.

[Mason in english] Come
on, think about it.

You're the PLO. You're arafat.

You're desperately trying to
hold this cease-fire together.

The last thing you want is the
Israelis crossing the border.

One more incident, one more
bomb, another assassination,

and they'll stop
asking for permission.

They're gonna roll up and
push you right into the sea.

Rafid abu rajal and his
little splinter group?

That's a problem.
He's uncontrollable.

What do you do if you're arafat?

I think I would take him off the table.
I would put abu rajal on ice.

Because abu rajal wants
this to fuck up.

He'd rather put a match
to this whole thing.

Ruzak wants the same
thing as abu rajal.

He said it. We heard him.
"Two birds, one stone."

He wants this to go sideways.

He wants to tip it over

and give Israel all the reason
it needs to come on in here.

Come on. This is Cal talking. This
is him telling us what's going on.

If you let gaines and ruzak and
the white house and Tel Aviv,

if you let them run
their game, Cal's gone.

[Don] Waiting only
increases the risk.

- You understand that, right?
- We blew our chance today.

[Don] I need a master list of
Cal's assets and code keys.

We'll start prioritizing
his people quickly,

so we can get the relocation budgets
in place for the folks who qualify.

- You're hearing me, right?
- It's a death sentence.

Jesus, Sandy. Nobody's
quitting on Cal, okay?

But we get paid to be ready.

There's a hell of a lot of
unprotected pieces in the field.

You think I don't
know how you feel?

That could be any
of us out there.

You're right.

Maybe we'll get lucky.

There's a secondary
issue here with skiles.

We need to wrap him up
as quickly as possible.

It's covered. We picked
him up half an hour ago.

- [Don] Where?
- [Sandy] The bar at the napoli hotel.

They're gonna bring him
over as soon as he's sober.

[Don] Son of a bitch.

[Gary] You know what, though?
Don't sober him up.

Keep him bombed.

Get his signature on a security release
and pour him onto a transpo tonight.

Okay.

[Gary] Hey, Sandy?

You've done a hell of a job.

I hope you know that. It
hasn't gone unnoticed.

[Chuckles] Thank you.
Thank you, sir.

[Car honks]

You change your mind?

[Sandy] Little late for that.

[Mason] What do you mean?

In an hour and a half,

the embassy duty officer is
gonna open the fifth floor safe

and discover four million
dollars is missing.

You're right. We're on our own.
That's raffik.

- [In arabic] Put them in back.
- [In english] He's coming with us.

- Where is it we're going?
- I thought we'd try and make a deal.

And do what? Shake down the PLO?

Why not? I bet you're pretty
handy with four million bucks.

[Sandy speaking French]

[Man speaking arabic]

[Bashir in French] Sandrine?

Sandrine?

My love!

[Speaking arabic]

[Whimpering]

Listen closely, bashir.

You're going to tell
me what I want to know

or this is the last
breath you'll take.

- What the fuck nonsense is this?
- Rafid abu rajal!

Where is he?

Where?

You're not my only
option, bashir.

[In english] Fuck you!

[In French] Kill her.

- [Whimpering] No.
- [Rami speaking arabic]

- The gun?
- Do what I tell you!

[Speaking arabic]

- Too much noise...
- [In english] For chrissake.

[In French] In the bedroom.
Go! Kill her.

[Bashir] No. No.

Sandrine!

[Sobbing]

[In arabic] What
craziness is this?

You let a woman tell
you what to do?

[Gunshots]

[Speaking arabic]

[In arabic] Let's
try one more time.

- Rafid abu rajal?
- [Mason shushes]

[Sandy] Where is he?

[Rami speaking arabic]

[Mason in english] Now that
you told us where he is,

all you gotta do is
go get him for us.

Call it a finder's fee.

$50,000 now, $50,000
on completion.

That's a $100,000
phone call, bashir.

Plus another two million if
you can deliver abu rajal

to al-mazar square alive
in the next hour.

It's not so easy.

I know it's not so easy.
We all know that.

That's why we're
asking so nicely.

And if the old man says no?

If the old man says no, then
all this money goes home.

[Comm boss] Duty officer
says she signed the log.

Thought it was for petty cash.

[Don] All of it? The
whole four million?

- [Comm boss] She knows Riley's code.
- Oh, my god!

She's got radio equipment,
vehicle, weapons.

[Sandy speaking French]

[In arabic] Get ready.

[Sandy in english] Yes, I trust him.
He's one of Cal's people.

Cal doesn't come
back, he's cooked.

He's fighting for his life.

Is that what you're doing? For Cal?
Making a hell of an effort.

It's not some huge romance,
if that's what you think.

It's not.

We're here, and it gets lonely.

Better me than someone else.

Hmm. Okay.

Come on, bashir. He
has to be here now.

He won't ditch us for 50 grand.

If he tries to rip us off, it'll
be for the whole package.

[Laughs]

What's it like to throw your
whole career away in one night?

- You should know, right?
- You're tougher than I was.

I don't get surprised very often.
Not in a good way.

That's my version
of a compliment.

All right. Thank you.

[Raffik in arabic over
radio] Two cars approaching.

Which direction?

[Raffik] Southeast
on rue de damas.

[Comm boss] They're
coming southeast.

[Sandy in arabic
over radio] Okay.

[Comm boss in english] She's
telling him to get ready.

- She's keyed off.
- Can you triangulate the exact location?

[Comm boss] She's smarter than that.
She's using just two walkies.

I may be able to track
the uhs signal.

- Rue de damas, where is it?
- [Don] Along here.

[Mason] There you
go, $2 million.

Two million is not enough.

I'm in a hurry.

I'm already overpaying because you
know that, but I like my offer.

The answer to two million is no.

[Sandy] Mason, it's him.
It's abu rajal.

May we speak privately?

[Speaking arabic]

[Mason] We told bashir two million,
and you brought us abu rajal.

So let's get this settled quickly.
This is it. All I got.

I'm topped out. Deal
speaks for itself.

You wouldn't open with your best
offer if your life depended on it.

- Two point two-five.
- Five million.

- Three.
- Four and a half is my floor.

Point blank, I have
$3.9 million exactly.

Going once.

Why should bashir be the
only person to profit?

- Going twice.
- If you take the three-nine right now,

I swear I will tell bashir
you settled for three-five.

You can go back to arafat
with your head held high

and $400,000 in your pocket.

Deal.

All right, let's go. We got him.
Bring him.

Get the rest of the money.

This is the all the money.

I had a feeling we
could work this out.

The thing that
scares me about this

is you haven't asked me
what I'm gonna do with him.

At these prices...

I want you to look at my hand. You
see that? It's a laser sight.

It's attached to a very high-powered rifle
that my friend raffik has up there.

I've never seen
anything like it.

- I thought you came in good faith.
- I did.

Now I want to leave
in one piece.

You don't move until
after we leave,

maybe you'll live to
spend that money.

Let's go.

- Where the hell are they?
- Downstairs, sir.

How much longer?

Maybe he'll wait.

[In arabic] We've
waited too long.

Let's get out of here!

Listen, I want to go! Let's go.

[Speaking arabic]

Go!

Let's go.

[Rami in French] Heads up!
300 meters.

[Sandy] It's the
Christian militia.

- [Rami speaking French]
- [Upbeat music playing on TV]

I'll talk our way through.

With abu rajal in the car?
Impossible!

[Sandy speaking French]

[Speaking arabic]

- Rami, no!
- I'm going through!

[Shouting indistinctly]

We can make it!

[In english] Fuck.

[Laughing]

[In French] You're crazy!

[Fahmy in arabic]
They're not coming!

Come on, they're not coming!

[Speaking arabic]

[Car honks in distance]

Turn off the engine.

Turn it off!

[Car honks]

[Honking continues]

[In French] Stay alert!

[In english] Where are you going?
They're waiting for me.

Anything might happen.

I'm not staying here.

Another second with this murdering
fuck, and I'll lose my mind.

[In arabic] May this be your last
lucky day, you son of a whore!

[In French] You're right.
He's right.

What the hell is this?

You're not putting this through.

You can bet your ass I am.

- Frank, this is not your area.
- This is an intel operation.

It's a goddamn rodeo.

- [Sandy] Mason, do you read me?
- [Comm boss] They keyed back in.

[Mason] Yes, I can hear you.

It's him. It's karim.

- The goddamn location. Come on.
- Almost there.

I'll keep the walkie keyed, so
you can hear what's going on.

Copy.

Cal goes first. He makes it across
safe, then you get your brother.

Why should I do that?

Because you'll have me.
I'll stay.

You're not worth so much.

Maybe you should've had
someone more important

make your deal for you.

[Chuckles]

All right. All right.

We're moving forward.
Cal's gonna come over.

- Till then, stay put.
- [Comm boss] I'm getting a lock on this.

[Don] Figure out the location...

Just give me 30 seconds.

Get a team rolling now.

- Looks like...
- Get a fucking team rolling!

No, god damn it! This
is Mason's deal.

It's his hand, and you're
gonna let him play it.

You step in now,

and I'll make sure you own this
all the way to a senate hearing.

[Speaking arabic]

I think about Nadia.

Always good people
suffer the most, huh?

Were we that wrong about you?

What? Was I a terrorist?

Not then.

Not that night.

But in the morning.

[In arabic] Cut him loose.

How you doing, buddy. You okay?
Here's the deal.

You're gonna go over alone.
I'll stay here until it's done.

That's your plan?

It's kind of a work in progress.

Shit.

All right, go. I'll see
you on the other side.

[Karim in arabic] Go!

[Mason] He's coming over.
Get the brother ready.

Copy that.

[Sandy and rami speaking French]

[Sandy] Cal?

[Cal] Yeah. It's me.

[Sandy] Cal.

[Speaking arabic]

- [In arabic] Little brother!
- Gun cocks]

[Karim] Rafid!

I knew you'd be safe.

[In english] Karim, are we good?

[Karim in arabic] Let him go.

And I thank you, brother.

- [Karim] Rafid, no!
- [In english] Whoa!

- [In arabic] Curse me, do you?
- [Rami in French] What's he doing?

- [In arabic] You're free, rafid.
- Curse me now!

[In english] We're done here.
It's all good.

Rafid, put the gun...

[karim] Go, Mason. Go!

[Speaking arabic]

[Karim shouting] Rafid!

Rafid!

[Cal] Move! Move!

[Cal] Mason!

[Sobbing]

[Cal] Mason, come on!

Grab my hand! Grab it!

All right, I got you.

[Roni in arabic] Bernard! Great!

Get in! Get in!

Sandrine!

Get in! Good girl!

Okay, let's go!

[Medic] Almost done here.

All right, you're all set.

I'll let you talk to Mason.

Okay.

You good?

I'll let you know once
these meds wear off.

How about you?

- I'll let you know after I get a shower.
- [Chuckles]

Think they'll ever find karim?

Well, if he doesn't
find us first.

I still cannot believe you
pulled this through, man.

I mean, I feel like
I won the lottery.

You saved my life and I
got to see you again.

Let's not take so long to
do it next time. Okay?

I would like that.

Thank you, Cal.

That's the meds talking.

[Frank] Are you up for a quick
debrief at the embassy?

Am I gonna need a lawyer?

Yeah, well, it's
more of a luncheon.

Ruzak gonna be there?

He's in the air back to DC.
He's got some powerful friends.

Who's in charge of the station?

Well, that job just opened up. Don
gaines resigned this morning.

Not exactly sure why.

But we did come in on budget.

All I'm saying, Mason,

is that there is a general satisfaction
all around with the results here.

- Is that what you're saying?
- Things happened in haste.

People acted in ways

that might be subject to a variety
of legitimate interpretation.

Enough dancing, frank.

Everybody got what they wanted.
It's a rare thing.

Might as well enjoy it.

- So, you riding with me?
- I got him.

Just forget all this ever happened, huh?
You really gonna go for that?

You should try it.

If I were you, I'd kiss this
place goodbye once and for all.

What if you were you?

I've got a pretty good
bargaining position.

They already offered up
some pleasant options.

You got somebody making
that deal for you?

I've got a short list.

I'm around till dinner if you
really want to stick it to 'em.

The Israeli army has moved
into Southern Lebanon.

It has a clear-cut
single mission.

Namely, pushing the PLO forces

out of artillery range
of Israeli settlements.

[Reporter 1] After months
of rocket attacks,

Israeli soldiers
backed up by tanks

move up the coastal
road into west Beirut.

[Reporter 2] The Israeli invasion
of Lebanon has been deep and wide.

It encompasses an area
smaller than Delaware

and a third larger
than Rhode Island.

[Reporter 3] Evacuation of over
800 PLO fighters began today,

as more American troops arrived
in Beirut to keep the peace.

[Reporter 4] Pentagon officials
say this terrorist attack

caused the four-story
structure to collapse,

trapping and killing
those marines.

[Reporter 5] In Beirut today, a
pickup truck loaded with explosives

drove to the American embassy

and there was a tremendous
explosion during lunch hour.

Peter Jennings begins...

[Ronald Reagan] This criminal attack
on a diplomatic establishment

will not deter us from our
goals of peace in the region.
