Looks good.

-Yeah not bad. -Not bad at all.

Ok.

All right you're up brother.

Now here is a map of...

Sunset mall.

You want to go here to the garage.

There they have Wi-Fi.

User-name password you have them?

Yeah.

Ok.

Keep your head down.

I understand.

May Allah be with you.

So how did it go?

You mean with the videos?

Yes.

Good, good.

Shahin is emailing the news stations as we speak.

Do you want some tea?

Yes that would be wonderful.

So...

How long have you lived here?

In America.

Yes.

It's about... Six years now.

Really.

Have you always lived in Florida?

No, actually I used to live in...

San Francisco before I came to Tampa.

I hear it's beautiful there.

Yes it is.

So you're from Chicago?

Yes.

American citizenship.

Yes.

Proper yankee girl

I'd love to go to Chicago.

Big Muslim population there.

Halal food.

Devon Avenue.

How did I know you were going to say that?

I'm going to bring some tea to Hamal.

I brought you some tea.

-Let's go outside. -I want to talk to you.

Why do you always take off your scarf when you get home?

Because I'm home.

I don't like it.

But I'm home.

You're here with two other men.

Yes, but I'm home.

Hey, I'm your brother. I'm talking to you.

-Yes, I heard you. -You're not my boss.

We have breaking news.

A video has just been released

from an unnamed terrorist organization.

Two decorated soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan

have been kidnapped.

The soldiers have now been identified as Anthony Morales and Donald Young.

In the following experts of the video

the terrorists demand the release

of all prisoners at Guantanamo bay detention center.

If their demands are not met they will execute one of the soldiers.

We're going now live to Tampa, Florida

where the video was supposedly emailed

to several news agencies.

This is completely unprecedented.

Terrorists have kidnapped soldiers on us soil.

This sort of thing usually happens overseas in war zones.

Now the alert is nationwide.

So if you see anything suspicious out there

please contact your local law enforcement.

We're still waiting for a statement from the state department.

When that comes we'll share that with you.

I'll take over.

Finally.

Any problems.

Fine. No problems.

It is now confirmed that a terrorist cell,

operating in Tampa, Florida, has kidnapped

two United States soldiers.

Anthony Morales and Donald Young

we made the news.

Who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are currently being held hostage

we received a video showing the terrorists' demands

to release all prisoners of the Guantanamo bay prison.

The terrorists are threatening to execute one of the soldiers

-if demands are not met. -I'm going for a run.

I'll be back in thirty minutes. The FBI along with local law enforcement

are working around the clock to locate this terror cell.

And they are seeking the public's help in this matter.

We're going live now to Tampa, Florida,

from where the video was apparently emailed.

Smells good.

This is very good Fahdah.

I was just telling your sister what a good cook she is Hamal.

It's good. Very good.

So...

Have you ever been to that restaurant.

On Devon Avenue.

Which one?

Uhm...

I can't think of...

You know they're known for putting

the extra bell peppers and mushrooms in the samosa.

Yes, I know which one you're thinking of.

I love that.

So...

Have you ever been to Tariq's Cafe,

where they sell the fresh jaleibi?

Tariq's Cafe.

I love Tariq's Cafe. They're world known for their jaleibi.

So.

What part...

Listen...

What?

What?

You were saying something.

I was thinking, what are we going to do

if the administration doesn't

come out with an official statement

they're releasing the prisoners.

Then we send them a message.

So what part of Chicago are you from?

You mean kill one of them.

You know we have our orders.

You understand.

We have to do what we have to do.

It's...

It's probably not going to work.

Look. We are at war Hamal.

The west is waging war against the Muslim people.

You're having fun?

What's the matter? Cat cut your tongue?

Doesn't feel too good does it.

Come on say something?

I'm sure under different circumstances who knows right?

We could have been friends maybe? What do you think?

Yes.

Proceed with the next stage.

Ok.

How is the house?

House? Good. Yeah.

Good, you have everything you need?

Yeah.

Report back in two days.

We can't believe this is happening.

We just want him home with us.

Saying the United States does not negotiate with terrorists and that...

I wish they just could let him go and...

trying to hurt his father...

The us administration released a statement today

regarding the kidnapping of two decorated soldiers.

In this statement

the United States refuses to negotiate with the terrorists,

and will not release the prisoners.

This sparked an outcry from the opposition.

Hey, Fahdah.

Could you go...

Get Hamal.

And keep an eye on the prisoners

they want you inside.

I'll keep an eye on them.

Hamal.

What's going on?

Sit down.

So...

The administration is not cooperating.

I knew it wasn't going to work.

Well...

It's time to show this country who they're dealing with.

I spoke with Al-Saqri and he wants us to go ahead with the...

Operation.

So it's decided. Tomorrow.

We do it tomorrow.

So are we going to kill one of them?

Yes those are the orders.

It's not going to work. What makes you think it's going to work?

It's going to work trust me.

I can't do it.

What?

I can't kill a man.

I won't be able to.

We haven't even decided,

who's going to do it.

Well I just can't.

This is our fight brother.

You knew that from the beginning.

No, I know, but I mean

it seems so bizarre.

-I never thought that... -Think about...

All the muslims

killed by those two soldiers.

I know but

before anything else

I'm telling you. I can't kill a man

I don't know if you understand

what we're trying to do here.

But an order, is an order.

I'm going to take a shower.

Uhm...

Maybe I should put a call in

to Mr. Al-Saqri and...

He can remind you what you're doing here.

No, I understand.

I'm going to take a shower.

Aren't you supposed to be guarding the prisoners?

I'll watch them.

Is he going to be a problem?

I don't know.

So who's going to do it?

Ok, so...

This is how we're going to do it.

We're going to draw names from a bag.

Last name in the bag has to do it.

No going back.

Ok.

Hamal.

I don't know.

Look.

If my name is the one that's last in the bag then I'll do it.

But I'm not going to do it just because you don't want to do it.

Ok.

Let's do this.

Ok, let's draw the first name.

Shahin.

Go ahead.

What does it say?

Asad.

Ok.

It's decided

I can't do it.

Exactly like I told you. You understand?

Yes.

All perfect praise be to Allah,

the lord of the worlds.

I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah.

And that Mohammed is his slave and messenger.

We ask Allah to exalt his mention

as well as that of his family and all his companions.

This is a message directed to the American people

and the hypocritical American administration.

We will hold to account those

who have killed our brother and sisters.

Just as you kill our Muslim brothers and sisters,

so shall we kill yours.

Again release all our brothers

who you keep prisoner in Guantanamo bay

who you hold for years of humiliation and disgrace

or I swear to God that every American soldier is a target.

Every Muslim must rise to defend his religion

and his brother and sister.

All praise is due to Allah.

Grab his arms.

Morning.

How are...

How are you?

Fine.

Are you sure?

No, I'm fine.

How about I make you French toast? Your favorite.

Instead of that.

I said I'm fine.

Stop trying to take care of me all the time.

Hamal.

God is great.

You did well.

Look at this.

I don't have time.

Who's watching the American?

You guard him.

Hamal.

Hamal.

Where are you going?

All right.

Here is a map of

Redwood Mall.

Ok, you know what to do.

We have to get rid of the body tonight. We have to get rid of it tonight.

Why don't we just keep the body here?

Why don't we plop him on the sofa. You know?

Put his feet up. We could give him a fruit drink.

Better yet you could call the police yourself.

And say hey we got a body... You know.

The minute,

the human body dies it begins to decompose

and smell.

We have to get rid of the body.

I say we throw it in the bay.

Perfect. I like that.

We'll do it tonight.

I think he wants to say something.

Get Asad.

What seems to be the problem?

He wants to say something.

Take the tape off.

Take the tape off.

You camel fuckers.

I'll fucking kill every single one of you.

Put the tape back on.

I'll cut you dicks off.

Put the fucking tape back on.

Every single one of you god damn it.

I'm going to take a nap.

Hamal.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on.

Let's go

I'm very happy.

Hey.

Ok.

Get some rest.

Yes.

Yeah we got rid of the body yesterday.

Good good.

Wait for the administration to release a statement.

Listen one more thing.

Yeah. We're having problems with Hamal.

It's always something with that kid.

What problems with Hamal?

I don't know the guy, he doesn't listen to me you know he's...

He just... doesn't listen to me.

And he's like under a lot of stress. You know?

He's under stress.

Stress yeah.

Call tomorrow. Bring him. I'll talk to him.

I'm not taking the tape off.

What. What do you want?

If I take the tape off, are you going to yell?

What?

Some water please.

Thank you.

Thank you, you're the man.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

What is it?

Don't... Don't put it on just yet.

Are you hungry?

Eat this.

Why are you doing this?

Are you going to kill me?

No.

-Don't lie to me. -You killed the other guy.

Let me ask you this.

How many of my brothers and sisters did you kill in Iraq and Afghanistan?

We wouldn't have gone to war if you wouldn't have attacked first.

Did we really attack first?

So... He wants to speak with you.

Why what did you tell him?

Nothing.

I may have mentioned, that you're under some stress.

Why do you say that? I'm not under stress.

It's obvious.

I'm not under stress.

Don't speak for me. You understand?

We're calling him tomorrow.

We have breaking news,

regarding the ongoing story of the kidnapping

of Anthony Morales and Donald Young.

An execution video of Anthony Morales was emailed

to multiple news agencies around the country.

Its authenticity is still being confirmed.

But we now believe, based on the video,

that sergeant Anthony Morales

was killed by the unnamed terrorist organization,

demanding the release of all prisoners of Guantanamo bay.

We believe that sergeant Donald Young,

their second victim, is still alive.

We can only show you an excerpt of the video

because of its horrific nature.

Yeah, it's me.

Yeah, he's right here.

Ok

he wants to speak with you.

What is the problem?

There's no problem.

Asad tell me you have a lot of pressure.

No pressure.

You still have the nightmares?

No. No nightmares.

Good.

Remember why we do this.

Remember what happened to your parents.

They were my good friends too.

I took good care of you and your sister yes?

I know.

Do you need anything?

No, nothing.

How is your sister?

She's good.

Good, good.

When this is over we go back to Syria.

Put Asad back on.

He wants to talk to you.

Yeah it's me.

Yeah.

Listen to me very carefully.

Hamal has issues.

I can tell I can hear it in his voice.

He's getting very Shaky Asad.

You have to support him.

You have to give him more confidence.

We need to be strong on this.

Remember what happened to the last adventure.

Remember what happened then?

Things have to be more secure now.

There is much more at stake. Much more.

Please.

Treat him kindly Asad.

If he gives you any problem,

you call me again.

I'll talk to him again.

We have to build this kid up.

You follow me?

Please.

We have to get this operation going perfectly.

The last operation there were some weak links.

We can have not any more weak links.

We are finished with that. We are professionals.

So make sure you take care of Hamal.

Ok?

Ok.

Look Asad. You do it a good work.

And I'm happy with you for the most part.

But once things start to fall apart

it goes into your lap.

We need everybody a hundred percent on this.

This is too crucial.

Ok?

Ok.

The water feels good.

I like this house.

I could see myself living here.

But I miss Syria too much.

Al-saqri must be renting it.

Just to you know blend in with the community.

Residential neighborhood. You know and all that.

No one would suspect anything.

He's a good man.

He's a very good man.

I'm very indebted to him.

He took care of me and my brother after our parents died.

What happened with that?

It was 2003.

My parents, me and my brother went to Bagdad to visit my aunt.

I remember it well.

It was on a Thursday.

March twentieth.

There was an explosion.

Then more explosions.

Coming closer and closer.

Then a big boom.

I couldn't hear anything.

My ears hurt.

People screaming.

There was smoke everywhere.

I got up.

I went to my parent's room

and it was half destroyed.

And there was Hamal.

Standing there.

Looking at them.

Dead.

My mother...

Her legs...

My father...

Hey, it's ok.

It's ok.

I took care of him after that.

Hamal.

He was very vulnerable.

He still is.

If my parent knew the American government would attack,

they wouldn't have gone to Bagdad.

Then we went back to Syria.

And Mr. Al-Saqri got us visas to America.

We stayed with an uncle in Chicago.

Hamal would wake up in the middle of the night...

Screaming.

Almost every night.

I would comfort him until he sleeps.

I feel like I will always take care of him.

He's not strong like you.

Can you please pour some water over my head?

Come on man please I'm fucking dying here.

Man I really appreciate that.

You know I was wrong about one thing.

What's that?

About you attacking us first.

Really?

I know the us government has been messing around

with different parts of the world for quite some time.

But...

I was just doing my job.

That's what I'm doing.

My job.

Are you?

We're just trying to free our brothers.

Here try this.

I love mint tea.

It's good

hey...

You know they're never going to free the prisoners in Guantanamo.

They're not?

The us doesn't negotiate with terrorists.

I don't know.

Depends on the public outcry.

You want to bet?

Besides it's not like the people being held there are angels.

My older brother is being held there

what's wrong?

Nothing.

You're not eating.

I am.

And now you're playing with your food.

He's being a cry baby.

Shut up you hear me.

Poor little Hamal.

Asad stop.

I said shut up.

Hey.

Take it easy.

Please don't get worked up Hamal.

I have one thing to say to you.

Whether you like it or not, this is a war.

And what you did that was part of that war.

Who's the real terrorist here?

And stop playing with your food.

He needs time.

He's starting to lose it.

Who is there?

Fuck.

What are you doing?

Hamal.

Hamal go to sleep.

Get some sleep.

You are crazy man.

Asad.

Yes.

We have to talk about Hamal.

No, we don't.

Asad please.

Later I promise.

I've been thinking...

There is nothing to talk about.

He's a psycho.

Later ok I promise.

I have to go check on the prisoner.

How is it going in here?

Good.

Good.

Ok, you can go.

Hey.

One second.

Could you freshen the tea pot for me, please?

What are you doing up?

Nothing.

Are you ok?

Fine.

Hey, can you guard the prisoner?

I'm kind of tired.

Are you ok?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Of course she's all right.

Why wouldn't she be?

I don't know. I was just thinking maybe...

Nothing.

Did you see the news today?

Yes I saw the news.

You know the administration released a statement,

saying they're not negotiating.

Yes I know.

It was on television.

I said I know.

It's just a standard statement.

Don't you think we should rethink the operation and...

Shut up, Hamal.

I'm so tired of your antics man.

Don't tell me to shut up.

It wasn't going to work.

I told you it wasn't going to work and you wouldn't listen.

Stop shouting like a donkey.

Besides it doesn't matter we're going on.

Those are our orders.

Every day that goes by,

there is more of a chance of them finding out about us.

They have no idea who we are.

Ok, they have nothing to connect us with nothing.

I'm glad you're so certain, Asad.

Excuse me are...

Are you questioning me?

For your information if the agencies have the slightest suspicion,

they'll come right through this door.

Make us disappear just like that.

No trial.

No jury.

No warrant, no nothing.

We're going to end up in Guantanamo ourselves.

Maybe I'm breaking the news to you,

it's not like we have the right to a free trial in this country.

As if I didn't know that.

Yeah well

just making sure.

In the bay reeled in the human remains

of what appears to be sergeant Anthony Morales.

We're going now live to Tampa, Florida.

Btv here reporting live at ballast point,

where the police have confirmed that the body found

is that of sergeant Anthony Morales.

This is definitely a tragic story

and the coast guard is here on scene

and they're definitely on high alert.

I'm here with Roger Davis,

who's the man that discovered the body while fishing.

Well I didn't know quite what to... what to think at first.

I... I thought snagged my line on a log out there or something.

After that I reached my phone and I dialed up the police.

And kind of waited to see... see their thoughts on it.

So you didn't reel the body in?

No. No. I didn't reel it in.

I... I didn't know quite what to do.

I mean I didn't want to mess with the crime scene or anything.

I mean I watch TV and I know how those...

Those things work a little bit.

So you know I just wanted to leave it to the cops

see what they do.

Right. Right. You did exactly the right thing in this situation.

Well there you have it I'm Kelly...

What happened with your brother?

He went to Pakistan after 911.

We know he boarded the plane back to the us,

but when the plane landed

he didn't come out of the gate.

That's crazy.

We finally found out he's in Guantanamo Bay,

after three months of dealing with those fuckers at homeland security.

Classified as enemy combatants.

No response, nothing.

What did he do? Go to a training camp or something?

What are you talking about?

He didn't do anything.

He was visiting family.

He probably did something.

No, he didn't.

So you're from Pakistan?

My family is. I was born here in the us.

Why did you join?

You mean the army?

Yeah.

I needed a job and

after 911 and high school

it was the only thing.

And you had to go to Iraq?

Yes.

-Where were you stationed? -Bagdad?

Bagdad at first yes.

Then we went to fallujah in the anbar province

and it was something totally different.

What do you mean different?

Let's just say your people really know how to hate each other.

What do you know about my people?

I've seen my fair share of what they're capable of.

Sunni killing shiite.

Shiite killing sunni.

And you want to know the funny part?

What's the funny part?

You call it the religion of peace.

And you're trying to spread democracy right?

Or your version of it by the push of a button?

Please.

Come here.

What?

I want to show you something.

What is it?

Back pocket.

Open it.

Inside there's a picture.

Who's this?

That's Jasmin.

I'm trying to bring her over here.

Is she your wife?

Fiancee.

Where did you meet her?

I was stationed in the diyala province on the east side of the tigris river.

As part of an operation we had to block enemy movement

to Baghdad and to baqubah.

We had to clear the supply route

for humanitarian relief and food supply.

She worked for the humanitarian office in Bagdad.

What did her family say?

She only has a sister.

Her brother in law caused a few problems at first but

I got him a job in the Iraqi security forces.

She's beautiful.

She is.

I can't wait to be with her.

I'm going for a short walk.

Do you want to come?

I don't know.

I think we should keep a low profile

leave the house as little as possible.

-Ok. -But...

I mean if you want to go that's fine.

No. No, you're right.

Would you like to have a fruit drink with me?

-Sure. -Yeah?

Sit down. Have a seat.

Relax I'll bring it to you.

Ok?

Like he had a frog in his throat or something.

But you know, he's a good guy though.

What are you doing?

Hamal! Calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

What were you doing?

Nothing.

I don't know.

I asked you what you were doing.

I don't know.

Put a scarf on.

Hamal.

We were just watching TV.

TV?

Yes! TV.

Hey, listen.

You really smell bad you know.

Why don't you go do wudu? It's almost time for asr. Ok?

Hello?

Stay away from my sister.

Just go.

Ok, you done?

Come on, come on. Pinch it. Let's go.

Come on.

Go put on the tape.

Ok, go get the bucket.

I was just wondering if you wanted to hear a funny story?

Hold on. Hold on. Just let me breath for a couple of minutes.

So how about that funny story?

What?

Ok, so...

Christmas a couple of years ago

my entire unit was at fort benning before our next deployment.

One day I was the first to wake up.

The other five guys were still asleep.

So this guy mccormick wakes up.

And he tells me he's going to fart in Rivera's face.

So he stand up and he lets out a silent fart right in this face.

We started laughing, because he was about to wake up.

So then Rivera wakes up not knowing he had a fart thrown inches from his face.

He gets up and looks over at this guy Winston who's still sleeping.

Then back at us and he smiles

and he whispers.

"Hey, guys. I'm going to fart in Winston's face."

So he gets up.

Walks over to Winston

gets ready to throw a fart in his face,

when Winston rolls over.

Keep in mind still asleep

and throws one of the loudest farts we have ever heard.

I mean we were dying laughing.

It's a true story. It's a true story.

Hey.

What the fuck is going on in here?

We're laughing over a joke.

So what we're doing here is a joke to you?

This is all a joke to you.

Take it easy brother.

This guy is our enemy do you understand that?

I need you to be a professional and keep your mouth shut.

And his.

Go get some sleep. I'll keep an eye on him.

What?

Just go.

Go.

Here is some breakfast.

Could you tell your... brother?

It's his turn to watch the prisoner.

We have to talk about him.

Ok, later.

I'm worried.

Ok, later.

Yeah so...

I don't... I don't know what to do about your brother.

I mean...

He's got so many issues.

I know.

Just take it easy on him.

You look stressed out.

When this is all over,

I like to travel with you to Syria.

Who's guarding the prisoner?

Didn't I tell you to stay away from my sister?

Hamal, come on.

You be quiet.

And put a scarf on.

You know what? Get up.

Get up and go to your room.

Get your hands off her.

We weren't doing anything.

Don't fucking touch her.

Didn't I tell you to stay away from her?

It's ok, Asad.

You need help Hamal.

I see you talk to her like that again I'll rip your throat out.

I like to see you try.

Psycho.

What are you doing here?

Listen. I want you to stop what you're doing.

Is this about me and Asad?

What do you think?

There is nothing going on.

Hamal is just taking it badly.

All I'm saying is wait.

He's on edge and this is too much.

Look at me.

Ok.

Yeah it's me.

Finish it.

Get rid of the other American.

Do it tomorrow.

Ok.

The world is a screwed up place.

I'm planning on staying away from it as much as possible.

How are you going to do that?

Build my own world.

What's your favorite part of the world?

I don't know.

Come on man, where would you live?

Where would you?

I was going to move to Nebraska.

I love Nebraska.

Visited my uncle before my deployment to Iraq.

It's...

It's a little cold but you know it's peaceful.

Start my own business...

House...

Bring Jasmin over...

Family...

You know what I mean?

Don't tell me you don't know what I mean?

What the fuck is going on here?

Just chatting.

Shut up.

Shut up.

What the fuck are you doing?

You think this guy is your friend or something?

No. No. I know.

-You know what? -You know what?

Meeting in one hour.

Ok, so I spoke with Al-Saqri and...

We have to go on with the operation.

Did he say we have to kill the other prisoner too?

Yes.

We have to finish the operation.

None of this is working.

We have our orders and we do it tomorrow.

I don't think we should kill him.

What?

He's engaged.

So?

To an Iraqi.

He's trying to bring her over here.

I told you not to speak to that prisoner.

Didn't I tell you not to speak to that prisoner?

He's a good guy.

How do you know that?

How do you know that?

Do you know how many muslims he's killed?

No, you don't know that.

I just don't think it's the right thing to do.

He's a soldier.

And you are a soldier.

Do you understand that?

Do you understand that?

Of course.

Ok.

So you do as you're told.

-Besides what do you want to do? -You want to set him free?

No, really, I mean do you want to set him free?

No.

Orders are orders.

You do as you're told.

All right. I heard you.

Smells good.

That other guys, is he in charge?

Asad?

He's my brother's best friend.

Reminds me of my drill sergeant at fort benning.

You shouldn't take it personally.

They're going to make you do it, aren't they?

Kill me.

Is this my last meal?

Thank you. It was good.

Do you have a woman, Shahin?

You don't shut up do you?

You're the only person I can talk to around here.

Women are trouble.

Some women are.

Not all but...

Jasmin wasn't any trouble.

No trouble at all.

And her father was great.

I thought she didn't have a family.

Only her sister.

Roadside bomb.

I was on my way to baqubah when I heard.

I rushed to Bagdad but...

He had already passed once I got to the hospital.

Is she a good woman?

She's a great woman.

I love her Shahin.

I'm thinking of her right now.

I want you to do something for me Shahin.

What?

When they kill me.

Don't think like that.

They're going to kill me.

They have to.

I mean what else are they going to do?

You're a soldier Shahin.

I need you to let her know,

that she's the only person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

I want you to write to her.

The email address is in my wallet.

Where is everyone?

I don't know. Inside?

Fahdah.

Fahdah are you in there?

Overnight the president received updates

from his assistant for homeland security

on the ongoing investigation into these kidnappings

in the Tampa Bay area.

The president put out a statement

calling for unity

where were you?

He said words cannot begin to express our sorrow

for the two families who are grieving

were you in Fahdah's room?

What?

What were you doing in her room?

This is a reminder that we live in a dangerous world

with threats from those...

We were talking.

Why was the room locked?

Didn't I tell you to stay away from her?

Hamal we were just talking.

You disgust me.

Hey! I'm talking to you.

-Did you hear me? -Don't touch me.

Hamal please.

Fahdah stay out of this.

Didn't I tell you to stay away from my sister?

I need you to back down now.

I'm not backing away.

What is your problem

your sister is a grown woman in case you didn't realize that.

You're the lowest of the low with no respect for anybody.

Don't fucking touch me.

You're lower than a dog.

And you are psycho.

You understand?

I don't know what happened to you in Bagdad when your parents got killed,

but you got some serious issues.

How did...

Don't talk about my parents. You don't know anything.

Hamal stop.

Don't.

I said don't... fucking touch me.

Asad.

Asad, no.

He shouldn't have hit me.

No.

He shouldn't have hit me.

No, Asad.

Hang on, Habibi.

Hang on.

No. No. No, Asad.

No, Asad.

Stay with me.

No.

No, Asad.

No, Asad.

Say something.

Call 911.

Asad?

Asad?

No.

What happened?

He shouldn't have hit me.

So you stab him.

You take a knife and you stab him.

If I do this are you going to stab me too?

Are you going to stab everyone?

It was self-defense.

How is stabbing him in the back self-defense?

Tell me.

Tell me how it's self-defense?

You killed your own kind.

Do you understand that?

This is bullshit.

This is total and complete bullshit.

Unbelievable.

We need to take this to the bathroom.

And we need to clean this up.

I'm going to get a sheet.

Go fix that mess.

I'm going to clean up. I'm in the garage.

We have to give him a proper burial.

Islam says that we have to bury him as soon as...

I know what islam says.

I mean what do you suggest we do? Bury him in the backyard?

There is a pool back there.

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

We could...

Leave him at the mosque.

You really are an idiot.

I mean ok what do we do when we leave him at the mosque?

With cameras everywhere the cops will be at our doors within hours.

You know what just go clean up.

We have to do something.

We can't just leave him here.

We have to bury him in the forest somewhere.

We'll wash him properly.

We'll wrap him in clean white sheets.

We'll pray over him.

And we'll bury him.

We'll do it tomorrow.

I thought I saw something.

I thought I saw something.

I thought I saw some movement too.

I guess not.

Well.

We received a call

of a disturbance coming from this home.

A disturbance?

Yes?

Could it have been the fight between you and your brother?

Fight?

Yes.

For a walk just down the street.

Ok.

Is there anyone else living here?

No.

Just the three of us.

Ok.

And the bedrooms are this way?

Yeah.

Ok.

Well

What's that?

It's a verse from the quran.

What's it mean?

It says...

He's Allah the one and only.

Tell you what.

Here's my card.

You hear anything,

you give me a call

of course officer.

Ma'am?

You sure you ok?

Yes. Yes I'm fine.

Excellent you guys have a good evening.

I think somebody was following me when I was running.

Don't be ridiculous.

You're being paranoid.

I don't know.

You know what I think.

I think it's time to end this operation.

What are we going to tell Mr. Al-Saqri?

Look. I've made up my mind.

This operation is off.

It's final I'm done.

Think about it.

No.

Come on Shahin what else are we supposed to do?

I said no.

Fahdah?

Leave me out of this.

This operation is over.

We have to talk to Mr. Al-Saqri.

And what do you suppose we tell Mr. Al-Saqri?

About Asad and the fact that you killed him.

Collateral damage.

How is that collateral damage?

This is a war.

You're losing your mind.

I'm going to my room.

I'm going to get some sleep. Why don't you guard him?

-Get up on the ground. -On the floor.

-Get on the ground mother fucker. -Get on the ground.

-Shut the fuck up. -On the ground.

Shut the fuck up on the ground.

On the ground. Shut the fuck up.

-Get on the ground now. -Get up and get on the ground.

Shut up and get up on the ground.

-Clear. -Shut the fuck up.

-Get on the ground. -Get on the floor.

Ok.

Here's your statement.

Now I need you to read over this carefully.

And then sign it at the bottom when you're ready. Ok?

Well my colleague will be in with you shortly.

He wants to talk to you regarding your cooperation

in the capture of Mr. Al-Saqri.

I'll be right outside if you need me. Ok?

This is Al-Saqri.

My men are in place.

Launch operation capitol.

What about the girl?

I'll take care of the girl.

She won't leave the building alive.

Good. Good.

Get up.

Mr. askani. You're being transported to Guantanamo bay Cuba,

where you will be held as an enemy combatant

of the United States until further notice.

Stand up.

Stand up.

You got to see this.

No. No. No right now I'm serious.

Ok. Can you watch him?

First reports are coming in of an attack on the United States capitol.

At least ten people have been taken to the hospital

including several congressmen.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack,

but this comes on the heels of the terrorist kidnapping

of the two us soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sergeant Donald Young, one of the soldiers,

was rescued last night from a terror cell

operating in Tampa, Florida.
