I know what I have
to do today, Maryam.

Homeland Security
officials say the current high alert

is directly related
to the discovery last night

of homemade explosives
at a warehouse in Los Angeles

owned by a Muslim male.

The location of the warehouse
and the identity of the owner

have not yet been disclosed
by the Department,

but unnamed sources
in Homeland Security...

Why am I a Muslim? What?

Why did you have to
name me Mohammed?

I named you after
our own prophet.

And you're Muslim
because I am Muslim.

Everyone at school is
Jewish or Christian.

All the same.

All believe in one God.

What if I wasn't born Muslim?

It is your journey, habibi.

You have a great heart,
just like your mother.

Bless her soul in heaven.

Can we get a Christmas tree?

Mohammed, we have
to get there. Walk fast.

Sabir.

There. Mohammed,
Sabir's here. Mohammed?

Mohammed.
Mohammed.

Mohammed.

Hammo. Mohammed.

Mohammed!

I have a possible
10-107 in progress.

Mohammed!

Mohammed.

Sorry, ma'am. I'm sorry. It's okay.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay. I'm sorry.

Halt. Federal agents.

I'm looking for my son. Stay calm.

All right, get him up.
Get him up.

Sir, I'm looking for my son. Come on.

Come with us.
Come on, let's go.

I was looking for my son.

I didn't do anything.
Where are you taking me, sir?

Mr. Marzoke,
I'm Agent Stevens, FBI.

FBI? Where is my son?

Look, your son is
safe in the other room.

Why were you running around
the airport yelling, sir?

I was looking for my son.

Do you read the papers, sir?

You realize we're on high alert?

I thought I lost him.

What is your business
at the airport today?

I'm picking up my cousin.

And what's his
business in the US?

No business, just personal.

We did a search of your
vehicle, Mr. Marzoke.

We found all of these items.

Could you identify them, please?

Well, I listen and I read the
Quran. Is that a crime now?

The Quran.

These receipts...

What are these?

Money transfer.
Donations.

Donations. I see.

Donations to the Sharia
Foundation in Egypt.

Why do you make donations
to the Sharia Foundation?

Sir, I'm a Muslim.

One of the five pillars
of Islam is to give zakat.

I don't know if you know
about zakat. It's an Islamic law.

When was the last time you were
at the Muhammad Ali Mosque?

Muhammad Ali?

Yes. Beautiful place.

Alabaster, the tall minarets, the
view from the top, the pyramids.

You've been there? Last month.

You have a very rich
culture, Mr. Marzoke.

Now imagine if some fundamentalist
Christian nut jobs from the US

flew a jet passenger plane
into the Muhammad Ali Mosque

or another one of your
renowned monuments,

killing thousands of
innocent Egyptians.

I'm sure that you'd be busting
every infidel stupid enough

to go around screaming English
in the Cairo airport, wouldn't you?

Let me give you
a word of advice.

You be very mindful of how
you act and speak in public.

When we're under high alert,
people get trigger-happy.

You got it?

It's okay, Mohammed.

Are you all right?

Yeah, it was just a big mistake.

A big mistake.

You hungry, Sabir?

Later, later.

I want you to
trace these transfers.

Where he sent them from,
who he sent them to.

Get me bank statements,
e-mails, library accounts,

subscriptions, postal
records. The whole nine yards.

Piece of shit.

God, I hate this dump.

Can I help you, sir?

I told this asshole 100
times, no sauce on my falafel.

I'm supposed to ask you to not
use words like that in here, sir.

This is stupid.

Abdulla, please make
the gentleman another falafel.

No sauce this time.

Are you serious?

Leila.

What's up, Fikry?

It's hot, man.
Air conditioner working?

Yeah, sure. It just makes
that noise to mess with you.

Smartass.

Fikry.Mustafa.

Next time, Pops,

if you're gonna punch in
late, just give me a call, okay?

It's been a rough day. Don't
start with me, okay, please?

Where are you going?

I have a life, too, remember?

Okay, don't forget
to be home early... I know.

It's a special night.
I know.

Be home early for dinner.

Hey, what's up?

Let's get out of here.

Mustafa.Fikry.

What's wrong?

I get this feeling sometimes
like I'm going to explode.

Don't do that. We've
had enough explosions.

Abdulla, Sam is coming by later.

Have his coffee and
baklava ready for him.

Again? For free?

Just have it ready.

You know, that guy never
pays for anything, never!

He thinks I work for him.

Oh!

It is hotter than hell.

What's up, Fiky Frik, Big M?
Abdulla in the house.

Turn on the TV.
You seen this?

I want to show what these
bastards are doing now.

Despite repeated requests,

American authorities
have not made available

any evidence of
explosives or weapons.

See, that's what I'm
talking about. You see that?

You know, they
cook all this stuff up.

All this heightened-
state-of-alert bullshit.

It's all bullshit,
red, green, fuchsia.

I mean, they just want people
scared shitless of people like us.

Murad, you see a conspiracy
in everything, man.

Mustafa, you tell him.
I've tried.

Actually, I got arrested
today at the airport.

What?

What happened?

Nothing. A mistake.
I'll tell you later.

A mistake? That's
some serious shit, M.

I mean, they can make
your life hell in this country

if they get you on
one of their lists.

They will lock your ass up

in one of those ships off the
coast in international waters

and they will torture your
ass until you sign a confession.

Murad, I got bigger problems
than torture ships, Murad.

Keeping this place afloat,
that's my torture.

Maybe this place float

if you don't give away
so much free food, huh?

Thank you, Abdulla.
He's right.

I need to make money,
real money.

Why you need money
so badly all of a sudden?

Because I would love to open a
new restaurant, a real restaurant,

with real Mideastern food,
like back home.

There is a place on
Washington I like.

That's gonna cost
some serious G, M.

So? Why not? Maybe I'll
get a partner. This is America.

Maybe I'll partner
with someone like Sam.

Sam the Jew? So?

So? Sam the
Sephardic fucking Jew.

Murad, business is business.

Fikry here is Christian.
You're doing business with him.

He's not a land grabber.

What's left for
an Iraqi Christian to grab?

Murad, Sam is Jewish,

but that doesn't
make him a Zionist.

I trust him and he's a good
businessman. That's what I need.

You asked him already?

Yeah, he's researching
the numbers.

Sure, sure, he's researching
the numbers. Of course he is.

He's gonna
research those numbers,

he's gonna go behind your back,

he's gonna buy that building,
he's gonna jack your idea.

I'm telling you, he will
not partner with a Muslim.

You feeling me? You're gonna
end up being his employee bitch.

If you don't mind,
guys, I've had enough of

"It's hard being
a Muslim" for one day.

I need to change,

and there is an important
visitor coming by later.

So be nice to him.

More important than us?

Easy on the sauce, okay?
Everybody complains.

Just easy on the sauce.

The ongoing investigation

into what is now
being referred to

as a terrorist arms depot in Los
Angeles has netted several suspects

and authorities say
arrests are imminent.

Some of the explosive
materials have now been identified

as being both Iraqi
and US military in origin...

Taxi!

Hi.Yeah, okay.
Get in, lady.

Hello.Hello.

To what do I owe this surprise?

I'm free until
evening rehearsal.

Thought I'd give you a lift
to your appointment.

Oh, well, I guess it pays to
sleep with a cab driver after all,

especially one with a
seven-episode deal on a new series.

Yeah, which is why I thought
I could finally...

Afford this.

Omar.

You're doing this
because you want to, right?

Not because...

Kate, I want to.

Good night. Salwah?

Yes.

I haven't seen you in forever.

Oh, well, I've been here.

Hey, um...

Yes. Do you want to someday,
if you're free...

Do you want to have dinner
with me? Do you like Japanese?

I'm a hell of a sushi chef,
if I do say so myself.

Oh. No, I...

I have to tell you
I'm going to get...

I'm... I'm...

I'm going to be late.

I'm going to be late.

Our movie star!

What's with the air
conditioner? It's boiling in here.

What, you expected it to work?

I like it. When I'm here I can
relate to my people in Iraq.

Kate, Salwah called.
She's late.

I can run some errands.
Just tell her to call me, okay?

I want to tell
Salwah myself, okay?

What's up, my homie-omie?

How did we do?

$900, more or less.

That's it?

Your other business...
Are you busy?

We have first run-through
tonight, camera rehearsal.

Pick good roles. Be smart.
Think about the future.

It's funny you say that.

I just proposed to Kate.

What, are you getting
married? Fantastic, Omar!

Omar is getting married.

Huh?

Fresh baklava and tea on me.
I make it myself.

Come here. Come here, come here.

Congratulations.

So, yo, big shot,

you making enough money
to support a wifey now?

I landed a good role finally, and
on a good show, American Safety.

Don't tell me, they're gonna
have you play a terrorist again.

No, not this time.
A doctor.

Hey, that's a good part for you.

Yeah, no more Arab
bad guys, inshallah.

Yeah, inshallah,

but don't get your hopes
up too high, homie,

because as long as the Jews
control Hollywood...

That's a myth.

Talent wins in
this town, that's all.

For real?

So then how come there ain't
no successful Arab actors?

There are. Who?

Omar Sharif. He's a Jew.

He's not a Jew. He was
Christian and became a Muslim.

He's a Jew. He's not a Jew.

He's a Jew. They're all Jews.
Name a known actor who's not a Jew.

Antonio Banderas.

Big Sephardic Jew.

He's not a Jew.
Anyway, you'll see.

I'm going to be the Antonio
Banderas of the Arabs one day.

Yeah, one day the Girl Scouts
are gonna sell cookies

for the Muslim brotherhood,
too, you know.

Murad, you watch
too much Al Jazeera.

It feeds your constant
fear of the West.

Yeah, and Zionist
American propaganda

feeds your constant fear of
your own Middle Eastern people.

Check that shit on Fox.Fox.

Murad, enough already.
Read the sign.

"No politics or religious discussion
allowed in this establishment.

"The management." That's me.

That is, but that sign does
not say "discussion," M.

Whoever made that
sign left that shit out.

YaYa make it. His English
like mine, not that good.

But he's cheap.

What do you mean, "his English"?

He's illiterate in
Arabic also, man.

Oh.

You know the way.

You know the way.

You were saying,
M, about religion?

I have to get
the light on for them.

I'll get you the light.
I'm sorry.

Salwah, Kate was here.
Give her a call.

I need to set up.
Sam is coming any minute.

You hungry?

I lose, and now I got this.

Hey, Sam.

Look at this guy.

Sam, how are you? Mustafa.

Have a seat.
Salwah's setting up.

How's it going, Fikry? Good, Sam.

Omar. Hey, Sam.

Abdulla,
coffee and baklava for Sam.

So, Mustafa, you try those
dates we brought in last week?

The best, right?

Sold in two days.

Funny, we were just talking
about those beautiful dates

that they used to grow in
Iraq before the US government

decided that oil was sweeter.

You're feeling me.
I know you are, Fikry.

It's all about the oil.

It's not about this democracy
shit they keep feeding us.

It's about the oil.

And Israel.

Sam, I'm ready for you.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Sabir, you made it!

Sabir, my cousin,
came from Egypt.

Hey, Sabir.

You rested?

Later, later.

Salwah's here.
Let's go in.

Salwah, Sabir is here.

Ow! Ow!

Salwah.

Sorry, Sam. Sabir came all the
way from Egypt to see Salwah.

Remember him now? Yes.

Hi, Sabir.

Hello.

Nice to meet you, Sabir.

What brings you to LA?

Mustafa and I have business.

Okay, you guys finish.
Let's go. Let's go.

What was that about?

He's my future husband,
supposedly.

I didn't know you were engaged.

Hmm.

I didn't either.

I don't get you.

Our family always talked about

me marrying my first cousin.

It's a tradition.

I'm sorry.

Ow.

Mustafa's not like that.

He doesn't hold onto
old tribal notions like that.

Mustafa thinks it's his duty.

You're joking.

They arrest Muslims
and jail them all the time.

You know what I'm saying?
No charges, no evidence.

They just, poof, disappear.

Yeah, we hear how badly Arabs
are treated in this country.

What happened today
was very, very frightening.

You know, Sabir,
9/11 was not a small thing.

We and everybody
else will pay the price.

Yo, M, who "Everybody else"?

It's the Arabs that are
paying the price, brother.

Murad, you act as if
we're the only ones, man.

It's part of a hazing
process, you know?

It happened to the Irish,
the Japanese before us.

We're the newcomers now,
that's all.

Yeah, but it happened
here in this country.

See, the fucking problem is
the people in the Middle East

are paying the price so that
Americans can live their American dream.

SUVs, subsidized gas,
fucking fast food.

I don't understand why
you want to live here at all.

When you get married
and settle, you will see.

This is a good country.

And a good people, too.

Thank you, Salwah.
This is for you.

Thank you.

Mustafa, do you have a minute
to talk about business?

Yes, Sam.
Come in the back.

I'll tell you
what the problem is.

It's the fucking land grabbers.

Here I thought it was the
fucking Islamic terrorists.

Murad.

Sabir, go to Salwah.

Have a seat.

So, you like doing this?

Sabir, I'm sorry.
This is...

This is very
strange for me. I...

I need to get
to know you. I...

I need to take some time,
but right now I have

another client coming in.

Sam, this place...

Every time I fix something,
something else breaks.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Okay, listen, Mustafa,

I had an inspector
check out that building

and my accountant
ran the numbers.

Yeah? And it looks pretty good.

That's great, Sam.

I promise you, we'll have
the best Egyptian food in town.

We're gonna make a difference.

I agree. I agree.

I brought you
cookies from Egypt.

I'm sure they're delicious.

Try one. You'll love it.

I can't. I watch my diet.

But I'm sure the
family will love them.

Atmosphere is
important, right? Sure, sure.

We can't have
certain elements around.

I understand.

Not in the new place
if we want it to work,

because it's not a social club.

I mean, you understand.

I understand.
Sure, Sam, sure.

No elements, no problem.

Good, good.

The Mohammeds.

All these guys named
Mohammed. They need room to pray.

You know what your
problem is, Fikry?

No, what is
my problem? Tell me.

You're what we call
a self-hating Arab.

That's ridiculous.

You say that because I'm a
Christian, like I'm not even Arab.

I didn't say
you're not an Arab, Fikry.

Let me tell you,
when I walk down the street

the rednecks yell
"towelhead" at me also.

Yes, yes, yes, I'll tell
you what my problem is.

My problem is that my country

has been invaded by people
of my own religion.

And now the Jews and the Muslims

have stolen even my
victimhood from me.

That's my problem.

Hi, Sam. Hi, Kate.

So my cousin's, like, in the
Marines in Afghanistan, okay?

And he brought back this hash.

I mean,
this shit's cold-blooded.

Been meaning to
ask you something.

How come every time
I turn on the news

there's some Muslim dude who's
pissed off and killing everybody?

Why do you hate America so much?

Maybe if you'd educate yourself,

you would know the whole story.

So tell me the whole story.

It's long. I don't remember it
all. It's, like, 1,400 years old.

So tell me what you know.
I want to hear it.

All right.
Pass the rocket.

Once upon a time before the oil, the
sheiks and all of the Saddams and Osamas,

in the middle of
the Arabian Desert

was this cool dude
named Mohammed.

His homies called
him "the honest."

He used to kick
back and meditate.

And one day an angel appeared to
him with a new revelation called Islam.

It means "Submission to God."

The God of Abraham,
Moses and Jesus.

Back then, the local yokels
believed in a bunch of different gods.

But when the angel gave Mohammed
the message that there's only one God,

they dumped the whole
idol-worship thing.

See, according to
Mohammed's prophecy,

God would free
everybody from slavery.

Dudes, babes, rich, poor,
black, white, whatever...

Everybody was equal. They
were all over that in a heartbeat.

So freedom and Islam began
to spread throughout Arabia.

And it kept on spreading to
India and all the way to China,

then across North
Africa to Spain.

This was the start of
Islamic civilization.

Back then Muslims were,
like, top dog

when it came to art, science,
literature and poetry.

So pretty soon
the buzz hit the West,

only back then Europe was,
like, a bunch of barbarians

busy barbecuing plague victims.

But you know what?
They didn't dig these

dark dudes with sand
all over their feet.

And that's, like, where I think the
word "sand nigger" comes from.

So they said no way to Islam.

This brought on the period
known as the Crusades,

which was,
like, a downer for everybody,

especially Muslims
living in Jerusalem

who got royally reamed out
by Christian armies fighting

to take back the Holy
Land for the Pope.

But finally, this other real cool Kurdish
Muslim dude named Saladin shows up

and unites the Arabs
to fight the Europeans

and take Jerusalem back.

See, difference is, under Saladin
there's, like, this time of peace

with Jews, Christians and
Muslims all kicking it together,

which is dope,
because Jerusalem's,

like, a holy place
for all three religions.

But guess what?
That didn't last.

The Europeans came
back even stronger

with, like,
a divide-and-conquer thing.

They gave the land the Palestinians
were living on to the Jews,

and that became the new Israel.

And once the Euro-honkies split,

there was,
like, constant fighting

between the Israelis
and Arabs over Jerusalem.

'Cause both the Israeli and
Arab radicals wanted to have it all.

If they'd just chill, they'd see
Jerusalem is a spiritual place,

the land of milk and honey.

But, no, because now
some Americans come in

to check out what all the fuss
is about, and they discover oil.

And to keep the pumps happening,

they prop up these greedy
dictators who sell only to them,

and they don't help the Arabs, only
Israel, which pisses the Arabs off.

So then you get the Israelis
and Palestinians

fighting over Jerusalem
and blowing each other up,

while the world just watches and
plays it all like some kind of game.

And that's why the Middle
East is a fricking mess.

'Cause there ain't
no more cool dudes.

Whoa.

Omar, how's it going?

Great. Looking
forward to this.

Good.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, there's some script changes
I wanted to talk to you about.

Look, I'm sorry to say this,
but the doctor role has been cut.

Cut?

Yeah. Let's talk over here.

Um...

Okay, look, they rewrote
the entire episode last night.

It's practically a new show.

I don't believe it.

Omar, I love your work.

I want you to stay,

but I'd have to ask you to
change roles at the last minute.

I'll do it.

Really?

You're the best. All right,
well, here are the new pages.

And take a look
at the role of Ali.

Ali? Yeah, we'll run
through it shortly, okay?

Can you get Omar
someone to help him suit up?

Hold the noise, please, people.

Action, Omar!

Everyone on your knees.

You're being taken hostage.

Um. Okay, cut,
let's cut. Can we cut?

Cut!

You okay?
What's up?

I don't understand. Why would
a terrorist take over a hospital?

Terrorists want to strike
fear in the heart of America.

That's what the episode's
about. So they're at a hospital.

There's a lot of people,
very little security, okay?

But you know this hospital
is in a quiet little community.

It's a show, Omar.

We give our heroes
of American Safety

heroic things every
week, all right?

So, just give me more accent,
and, you know, scary, all right?

Okay, everybody.
Back to one.

We're back to one.

Everyone on your knees!

You're being taken hostage!

We are the soldiers of Allah!

Great. Cut! All right.

Meet your
second cousin. This is Sabir.

What's up? Everybody.
Let's eat.

Yeah, come, let's eat.

So your friend Murad...

He tells me you're thinking
of opening a new place.

Maybe with this man Sam.

I think he's a...

A Jewish man.

I just see him as
a good businessman.

It's true.
They're good with money.

But he can use this against you.

Just turn on the TV,
see what they're doing.

Sabir, not too
long ago in Egypt,

Jews and Muslims
had business together.

But how much interest
did they charge us?

Mohammed, put that away, please.

It's broken anyway.

You broke it? Do you
know how much this cost?

So, Sabir, you own
your pharmacy in Egypt.

Salwah here is a nurse.

A nurse?

So why do you do
this salon work?

It's extra money.

Um, I'd like to ask, how do
you feel about women working?

After marriage, I mean.

To be honest, it's better
for women to stay at home.

So you believe that women are
born to raise children and to be wives,

but not to find their own work?

Salwah, what Sabir
tried to say here,

to have a strong family is
very important for a mother...

Okay, okay, let me ask
Sabir directly, if I may.

If we were to be married,

would you expect me to give
up my salon and quit nursing?

I don't think it
will be an issue.

I'd prefer to stay in Egypt.

I don't think America is a
good place to raise a family.

Excuse me, please.

Salwah, it is always hard
at first. You guys just met.

Oh.

So I should wait and move
back to Egypt when it's less hard.

He will change his mind
when he gets to know you.

I don't know how to say this,
but you're almost 30.

That's nice.
That's very nice.

Just let me finish.

You are a Muslim woman
living in America.

So I don't have a lot
of options, you mean?

Because I am a Muslim,
I have to marry a Muslim?

That's not for you to decide.

I want you to have your
own kids, your own home.

I want you to be happy.

You want me to be happy

or this will make you happy?

This is what our
father always wanted.

Listen, get to know him.
Just give him a chance.

You heard how he referred
to me at the cafe today?

"I have business
with Mustafa."

That's how he
thinks of me, business.

In Los Angeles,
Homeland Security officials

have made several arrests in
connection with the recent terror threat

that has raised the
alert level to code red.

No names have been released,
but one official said

that more arrests were
forthcoming and that, quote,

"A far larger Islamist network has been
uncovered than originally suspected."

I can't believe this shit, M.

What's wrong with you, Murad?

Palestinian this,
Palestinian that.

Fuck them! I'm
tired of their bullshit.

They are ruining our lives,
those bastards.

And now, Arab dictators are controlling
us in the name of the Palestinian cause.

Why don't we just hand the
land over to those motherfuckers,

because they're
just going to take it.

Come on, man, you can't
say that about the Palestinians.

Why not?'Cause it's unfair.

And it's politically stupid,
especially now.

They've been
kicked out of Lebanon,

they've been
kicked out of Jordan.

If they lost their land,
where would they go?

I'll tell you where. Florida.

Take all the Jews, because
there's a lot of them in Florida,

move them to Israel,
and take the Palestinians

and let them live in Florida,
or maybe Cuba.

No, I tell you what,

I have the perfect solution to
the problem in the Middle East.

All the Palestinians should convert
to Judaism and become Israeli.

He's melting. You've gone
out of your goddamn mind.

No, all the Arabs
should become Jewish, man.

That'll solve the
problem once and for all.

Why would anyone want
to be Arab these days?

But to be Jewish,
that's cool, man.

You get the support of everyone.

You guys still
going on about that?

Oppression's still going on,
Sephardic Sam.

Why shouldn't we be going on?

Murad, the truth is,
the fact is,

you Jordanians kill more
Palestinians than anybody else.

Bullshit.
Bullshit.

You know what?
You bagel munchers,

you steal their land,
you destroy their homes,

you shoot missiles from the sky
into streets full of innocent people...

You prefer to blow up buses and
airplanes full of innocent people.

Jesus, enough. Murad, calm down.

Look at him. Sit down.

I'm sorry.

I just came by to apologize
for walking out yesterday.

Mustafa.

Just sit down.

Not now, Abdulla.Mustafa.

But it's this...

This inflammatory shit, which I
guess you watch 24 hours a day.

You're goddamn right I do.
I watch it 24 hours a day

because I like to stay
informed, accurately informed.

Misinformed.

American propaganda!

No more TV.
That's it.

That's all I'm saying.

That's all I'm saying.
No more TV.

Does Al Jazeera
have parental controls? What?

I try what you say, but they
pray inside, the Mohammed.

He's a Mohammed, I told
you, don't disturb them.

You want peace, but the ignorant
are brainwashed by the crap.

There's no peace 'cause
there's no fucking justice.

Occupation and oppression
is why there's no peace!

What kind of peace do you
get from the great Arab tradition

of sending suicide bombers
into hotel lobbies

and coffee shops full
of innocent children?

You're killing
the innocent children!

Enough! Enough!

You guys want to fight?
Outside!

Don't touch him. Outside!

Mustafa. MUSTAFA: Go around them.

They don't let me in.

I told you, don't bother them.

I tried.
I tried two times.

This is Habibi Cafe,
man, not Hebrew Cafe.

Mohammed,
what are you doing here?

It's Friday. I thought we
were meeting at the mosque.

I don't want to go
to the mosque anymore.

Mustafa.

What?

Mustafa, Mohammeds
won't let me in.

They pray inside
and I can't get in.

Okay, have a seat.
Have a seat.

Come. Give it to me.

I have to do
everything by myself.

I tried three times.
You try now.Okay.

Listen to this.
Listen to this.

"Buy a Christmas tree from
Israel, where Christ was born.

"We ship to your door."

They're selling Palestine off
piece by piece, these motherfuckers.

Dad, are you okay?

Yes, Mohammed.
Yes, I'm okay.

What's the story about you
not going to the mosque?

I told you, I don't want
to be a Muslim anymore.

Why, Mohammed?

And Murad said we can get
a Christmas tree by mail.

Mohammed, for God's sake!

You are Muslim.
We are Muslim.

We don't celebrate Christmas.
We celebrate our own holiday.

We celebrate Ramadan.

But Ramadan doesn't have a tree.

And Murad said we can get one
from those motherfuckers in Israel.

You tell me what's happening.

Murad, what did you say
in front of my son?

Yo, chill, M.
What? I'll show you.

Read for yourself,
a baby Christmas tree.

Only the Jews can make money off

the Christians by
stealing from the Arabs.

Stop with the Jew thing.
I'm sick of it!

Mohammed, when Christmas
comes around, I'll buy you a tree.

Fikry, nobody's buying
a tree for Mohammed.

Yeah, buy it from
Jerusalem for $29.99,

get it blessed by
a fucking rabbi.

That's it.
Murad, outside.

Oh!

Fikry, Fikry, stay away.

I'm talking to you
as a friend, Murad.

You have to stop
spreading all this hatred.

And no more swearing,
especially in front of Mohammed.

I didn't swear.

You swear all the time!
You don't hear yourself?

You're too angry. Nobody
listens to you when you're angry.

You're goddamn right I'm angry.

I am swole up.

Aren't you?

Look at what's
happening to our people.

That's it.

I'm warning you, if you don't
stop, I don't want to see you here.

What?

You're on their side now?

Fine. But I'm gonna
tell you something, Mustafa,

you are too accommodating.

You forget who you are.

You want to fit in maybe.
You, the Jew. The Jew, you.

You can't have it both ways.

Come on, come on.

So you wear this
when you get married?

It's supposed to make
you exotic for your husband.

Omar told me, Salwah,
about your marriage.

You know, I don't
even know the guy.

I haven't seen him
since I was 12.

I hardly remember that.

How can Mustafa expect you to
marry a man you don't even know?

It's tradition, you know.

The family arranges it
to protect the woman.

Listen, it's none of
my business, Salwah,

but you need to marry a man
that you love, a man you want to...

I mean, isn't there somebody
that you'd like to, you know...

Shh!

Kate.

No one?

I really don't believe it.

Let's face it, Salwah,
you're not the Virgin Mary.

Okay, okay, okay.

All right, there is this
doctor at the hospital.

He's very nice.
He's very cute.

And he kind of asked me out

for Japanese food at his house.

Okay, well, there you go. I
think you should do it with him.

Kate, stop it. I'm not
gonna just do it with him.

Well, do you like him?

So go out with him.

Why not?
Because you're Muslim?

Look, even Omar struggles
with the differences between us,

but it doesn't matter.

What do you mean?

He never told his parents
we were living together,

but all that tradition stuff,

that just goes out the
window when there's love.

Mohammed, what is it?

You don't want to pray with us?

You want to talk about it?

Did Muslims really kill all
those people in the twin towers?

Listen to me, habibi.

There are good Muslims and
bad Muslims, like all other religions.

And the ones who flew those
planes were bad and ignorant of Islam.

Who's a good Muslim?

Muhammad Ali is a good Muslim.

He's a black guy,
not an Egyptian.

Your dad is
a Muslim and Egyptian.

Don't you count me?

Closed? Where is Leila?

Mr. Marzoke.

What's going on?

We'd like to bring you in for
further questioning, if you don't mind.

What for?

We'll get into that.

No, go into it now.

Mr. Marzoke, I could arrest
you, if that's what you want,

or you can come with us voluntarily
and show your willingness to cooperate.

No, go ahead, arrest me.
I want a record of this.

I'm not gonna disappear
into one of your cells

and nobody knows where I am.

I don't know where you get
your ideas of how we operate, sir,

but it's not like that.

I'm back, Leila.

Who's that?
Do you work here, sir?

Do you speak English?

Do you have
residency papers, sir?

Sir, what are you doing here?

You! You have to come with us.

Leave him alone!
He didn't do anything!

Take the kids away. Back off.

He's not resisting.
Please, please don't.

I have to take you in.

If the infidels attacks our God,

it is our responsibility
to defend Him.

Are you ready? Ready!

That is tight.
That is hot.

They're running this
on prime time, dude.

You are gonna blow the fuck up.

Give me.

Now remind me,
who got you on this MOW?

You did, Dez.

Give me some more.
Give me some more.

Thank you.

Thank you, but I'm saying
it's another bad-guy Arab.

You know, this thing that
happened with American Safety...

Dude, I got clients
who'd gun down their granny

for one episode of this
hot-shit series, American Safety.

And how many did you book?
Seven?

Who is your fucking manager?

Dez, I'm grateful for the
work, for the MOW, too, really.

All right.

I don't know, this kind of
image they want me to play,

it's demeaning.

Worse, it's like, I don't
know, crushing my soul.

Omar, you'd better not even be
thinking about bailing out on me on this.

Okay, they changed
the role on you,

but you did the right thing.
You rolled with it.

You turn around
and back out now,

I'll never be able
to book you again.

I fucking mean it.

We square?

Good.

Terry, get me Saperstein.

Sorry, it's my fiancee.

No, it's cool.

Kate, I'm leaving.
I'll call you.

What? Mustafa?

All right, tell Salwah
I'll be right there.

You are bad, dude.
You are bad.

Oh, yeah, I'm an accessory.

But it'll happen again.

That's right. That's right.
I hear you. I hear you.

Dez...

Uh...

Hang on for one second.

Yeah?

I mean it.

After this, no more.

It's killing me.

Omar.

Okay. All right.

No more terrorists.

I'll see what I can do.

Okay? Go.

Go, go, eat your falafel, shish
kebab, whatever you want to call them.

And have some espresso, too.
Get a life.

Shit. Terry, I lost him.

Yeah, get me Sap on the
phone. Sap? Sorry about that.

Yeah. Yeah.

Salwah. What is it?

Come in. Come in, please.

Salwah, are you okay?

Okay, Mr. Marzoke.

Come with me, please.

Sorry for all the noise,
Mr. Marzoke.

Where am I?

We maintain a presence
in a number of locations.

So, Mr. Marzoke,

you don't appear to have
much of a financial acumen

for someone who runs his own
shop and owns a car service.

As a matter of fact,
you're in the red.

You're very near foreclosure.

I'm struggling.
Is that a crime?

No, no.

But since you are struggling,
as you say,

we were wondering
how you could afford

to make such sizable
monthly wire transfers

to a terrorist organization.

I don't send
the money to terrorists.

Well, "terrorist"
has a broad definition.

The Saudis don't consider HAMAS to
be a terrorist organization, for example,

but the US government does.

I'm not a Saudi.

You send money to an entity
called the Sharia Foundation.

Now, there is
a charitable organization

called the Sharia
Islamic Foundation.

And they've been known
to finance jihad studies

in madrasas worldwide.

I told you before,
I just make zakat.

No, these are not zakat.

The Sharia Foundation is not a
foundation. It's a storefront operation.

Ostensibly it exports Egyptian
music, movies, the Quran on tape,

things of that type, but unofficially
it's a cash delivery service.

It's not illegal.

I don't use banks because
banks charge so much money

and it takes weeks
before the money clears.

I know the man who owns the
business. I trust him more than banks.

Where does the cash go? I know the man.

This man brings
the money door-to-door.

Where does it go? And in 24 hours
the money is there.

Answer me! A bank cannot do that.

Where does the cash go?

The government takes
money from you, taxes you...

Answer my question.
Where does it go?

To my cousin, sir.

Why?

Because my father
sold our land for me

so I can own my business here.

He sold it to his brother,
like a loan,

with the promise
that we'll buy it back.

Buying it back was
my responsibility,

to make a life here,
to bring my sister over.

My father didn't live
to see the land come back.

Because all these years I've
been trying to buy the land back.

And every night
when I go to sleep

I can hear my own
father's voice saying,

"Mustafa,

"what happened to your promise?
What happened to your land?"

So you sent your money

through a hawala service
to buy your land back.

Why didn't you say that before?

Why did you tell me
it was a charitable donation?

Even my sister and my kids
don't know about this, sir.

Where I come from, it is a
shame for a man to lose his land.

Dad's here. Dad!

Leila, Hammo.

Everything is okay.
It's okay.

Daddy, what are we gonna do?

We're gonna live our lives.
You hear me?

I still believe in this country.

It will get better, okay?

Thanks for seeing us, Sam.

It's okay.
It's important.

Ben coming?

No, he wanted us to
talk to you first.

Look, as far as I'm
concerned, nothing's changed.

We ran the numbers.

We projected that the place
would be into profits in two years.

This is not about profits, Sam.

Okay, you sold merchandise to this
guy for a couple of years. So what?

You don't know him.
He's an Arab.

So it's not impossible he's
sending money to terrorists

who want to
destroy Israel, is it?

You watch too much TV, David.

Okay, okay, let's not
call it terrorism then.

Let's say he supports the
liberation of Palestine, okay?

It's not so far-fetched.
I mean, most of them do.

Sam, we haven't
made a commitment yet.

I shook his hand.

I told him that we could
make this work.

Besides, it's good business.
We all agreed.

So it's good business.
Why do we need him?

We have the capital.

Well, first off,
he brought it to me.

So offer him something.

Let him be the manager
and the chef,

but don't cut him
in as a partner.

He'll be grateful for anything
you give him, you'll see.

Okay, I've listened to what you
had to say, but Ben has the last word.

Why is there anything
to discuss with Ben?

I mean, who, who
anywhere in the entire world

would want to have their money
tied up with some Muslim guy

who's under investigation
by the FBI, for Christ's sakes?

I mean, just answer me that.

What did you tell Sam?

I didn't tell him anything.

He didn't ask.

He volunteered
his lawyer, Mustafa.

Salwah, I can't afford a lawyer.

I can't even pay
Sam back for the bail.

You need a lawyer.

They're still investigating you.

They've frozen all
of your accounts.

Do you think that your problems
are none of my business?

I thought I could work it out.

By marrying me off to Sabir.

Shh!

You thought that if I marry
him you'll get the land back.

It's not just the land, Salwah.

No, it kills the two
birds with one stone.

The land and your duty
to see that I'm married.

This is your land now.

And you can choose to live
with one foot over here

and one foot over there
if you want to, but not me.

Come, Sabir, come.

I think maybe this
deal our fathers made,

maybe it's a kind of
curse for all of us.

No, Sabir.

Wait. Let him finish.

All my life I hear
how you are here in America,

a big success.

So I come here with a little
bit of resentment, Mustafa.

Why? No, it's true.

I come here
resenting what you have.

Resenting America even.

But I look around and I see
maybe a family that's not so happy.

I see your troubles.

And I think maybe
what they say about Muslims

who come to live here is true.

They must give
something up to live here.

But is it worth it?

I...

I got this fixed for Mohammed.

Good night.

Thank you, Sabir. Good night.

Are you ready? Ready?

Authorities have identified
and released photographs of suspects

in the ongoing terrorist
investigation in Los Angeles

that has resulted in the national
alert level being raised to code red.

The four Middle Eastern...

Omar, it stresses you out.

Okay.

Everyone at the
bank saw your TV ad.

Great.

Omar the jihadi.

Come on, they were impressed.

Everyone says
you're gonna be famous.

It's not so bad, you know.

You have a great role on American
Safety. We should be celebrating.

You know,
this American Safety job...

I wanted to tell you...

What?

You're starting your
first episode today.

Aren't you excited? I am.

Yeah.

You're right,
it should be celebrated.

We'll have another reason
to celebrate soon.

Omar, you're all
right with this, right?

You're not gonna judge me
differently later?

No, I just want our
child to live in a place

where nobody will think
twice about his name,

where "Nasser" is just as American
as "Giuliani" or "Lieberman."

It's gonna happen, Omar.

It is, okay?

Dez. Omar, are you
listening carefully?

I just got back from
a little breakfast meeting.

This is hot shit, homeboy.

This is big.
This is awesome.

I'm talking major studio,
leading role.

Are you ready?

You got
an audition in two hours.

I got the script
for you right here.

Dez, thank you.
Thank you.

This is the kind
of thing I wanted.

You're gonna nail it. Yeah, I will.

You're gonna nail it.

I'll nail it, I promise.
I'll nail it.

All right then.

Son of a bitch.

Hey, Murad. Come in.

Yo, M, you all right?
I heard.

Yeah, Sam called
his lawyer for me.

The Jew did that?

Yeah, the Jew did
this for me, Murad.

You know, about yesterday,
I just wanted to say that...

Murad, forget it. We're
friends for a long time.

Okay?

I just want respect.

You should have respect.

But we should
respect other people

or we're never going
to pull ourselves up.

You hear me?

I do.Good.

Listen, I need to fix
this place up and sell it.

I need to put my life together.

Go have some coffee or tea.

Fikry here has started.

Thank you.Murad.

Fikry, how are you, habibi?
What are you doing here?

What are you doing here always?

I was waiting for you.

Can you fix it?

I fix.

Not like you fixed the sign.

What's wrong with the sign?

Well, you missed one word.

I give a good price!

What, you want one-word refund?

Thank you, Mrs.
Jensen. Tell Sam I appreciate it.

Look, it shows
that we sold the land

with the option that
we can buy it back.

That's why I've been
sending money to Egypt.

So it's a deed. Okay, we
need to get it translated.

But how long will it take?

I need to sell this place.

I need the money so I can
buy the new place with Sam.

I don't think you understand,
Mr. Marzoke.

They have frozen all your assets
until the investigation is over.

I advise you not to even try to
liquidate any property right now.

But this is my money.

You give me a few days.

Hi.
Can I help you? Hi.

One coffee, please.

No problem.

Hey, check this guy.

I saw him before, man,
like on the news or something,

but with the whole
raghead business.

You mean like
the terror alert thing?

I don't know, man, but...

He just left his
backpack right behind you.

Hey, man.

Is that your bag over there?

Yeah.

Maybe you shouldn't
be leaving it lying around.

What?

You think I'm a suicide bomber?

Look, I've seen you before, man.

Yeah?

Where, on TV, beheading
an innocent reporter maybe?

Well, you've got me pegged, man.

I am a terrorist.

And if you don't get out of
my face, my fucking face,

I'm gonna blow this place up!

But first, I'm gonna have
my coffee. All right? Okay?

Thanks.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

This is TV LA 4 breaking news.

Authorities have
identified these men

as part of an ongoing terrorist
operation in Los Angeles.

All are believed to be at large
in the US or trying to enter.

What's really going on? I
mean, what is really going on?

Do they cast actors
for this crap?

Pretty soon everybody's gonna be
scared shitless of anyone with a suntan.

It's a good time
for Americans to stay alert.

Murad, we already
talked about this.

No more news.
Watch a movie.

I want people to walk here
and look, nice atmosphere.

No bad elements. Okay?

You!

Place your hands
behind the back of your head,

interlace your
fingers and stand up.

Put your hands behind your head.

All right,
Mr. Nasser, you can go.

But I want to say this,
under the circumstances,

we take what you
said very seriously.

Doesn't matter what the situation was
or how angry the other guy made you.

Do something like this again

and they're not gonna be
so forgiving next time.

Got it?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, wait.

I'm sorry I'm late.
I apologize.

Omar, there's nothing I can
do. They're gone. It's over.

Can't we reschedule?

They cast the role.
They shoot next week.

Look, I'm sorry.

They really wanted to see
you, but it's a done deal.

I'm here.

Leila, where is Mohammed?

I thought he was with you.

No, you were supposed
to bring him here.

What about Sabir?

They were both
gone when I got up.

Phone home, see if
they're back and try Salwah.

Okay.

You have to replace all
these pipes. They are no good.

Come on, YaYa.

Yo, Omar.

We were just talking about you.

Just saw your TV ad
for your show.

I thought no
more terrorists, man.

Hey, don't listen to him.
You're doing great.

You're gonna be a big star.

I have to run.
We're shooting.

How did we do?$750.

Omar, I know
you're busy with acting.

That's great, but I need
a full-time driver, man.

I need the money.

You don't want me
to drive for you now?

You focus on acting. Let
me take the cab off your hand.

I need... I need it, man.

Look, it's really a bad
time for me. Can we talk?

Listen,
I've got some problem here.

YaYa's here fixing the thing.

I need to fix
all this situation.

Mustafa, you're okay.
Hey, Sam, how you doing?

Have a seat.
We'll get you a shisha.

All right.
Won't say no to a shisha.

Look, Mustafa,
it's very important,

something I didn't tell anybody.

Listen, thank you
for what you did yesterday.

Taking Salwah to Sam,
it made all the difference.

Leila, shisha for Sam.

Listen, listen.

Come back, we'll talk, okay?

YaYa, talk to me!

Oh, whoa, Sam.

Don't suck so hard. You
need to treat it like a nipple.

A nipple.

Sorry.

You see that?

Gentle.

You like?

I knew that you
would like that. Me, too.

Yes, you like big fat
juicy nipples, just like me.

That's why I like Jewish women.

That's funny.

I got the idea that you didn't
like Jewish people at all.

No, man. What...

You're not feeling me, Sam.

I love Jewish women.

The best sex that I ever had

was with a Muslim woman and a
Jewish woman at the same time.

You know how Muslims and Jews
fight over Jerusalem?

That's how they
fought over my dick.

And I ain't bullshitting you.
You need to hit that shit, Sammy.

Well, somehow I think it would be hard
for me to get a Muslim woman into bed.

No. No.

Just convince them that
you're doing it for peace.

That's how you get them.
Peace, my friend.

Everybody fucks
everybody else for peace.

I guess you got a point there.

You okay, Sam?

Yeah.

Yeah, Murad was just
giving me some new insights

into smoking a shisha.

Thank you,
my friend, for yesterday.

Oh, no.
I'm sorry it happened.

You okay? You seem...

I guess Angela told you
they froze my money.

Yeah, yeah.

Mustafa, listen.

Maybe the timing isn't right.

Yeah?

Sam, you put the
deposit on the building,

I pay you my share
when I work my situation out.

We'll have it in writing. No, yeah, yeah...

Look,

there are some complications
that we have to address.

Your circumstances
have changed, right?

This is only
a cash flow problem.

No.

No. No.

Okay, look,

this is hard for me.

You know I'm in business
with my family, right?

And my family is run like
a corporation, believe me.

So until your legal
situation is cleared up

they want to offer
you a different deal.

They put up the total
investment, you run the place.

You want me to run the
place for you? Like a manager?

No. No.Sam, we are partners,
you and me.

Mustafa, don't take
this the wrong way.

I have to tell you
what they're saying.

You want me to
work for your family.

It's not what I want.

I'm getting outvoted here.
Do you understand?

What about our chance?

Let's just see what happens,
okay? Let's just see how it goes.

Okay?

Omar, you're late. We've
been trying to reach you.

Yeah, look, I had a
problem. What do you mean?

Omar, what's up?
We're waiting.

Those lines, I can't say them.

You did them in rehearsal
and you were cool with it.

No, I'm not cool with it.

Okay, but we're shooting, okay?

The show airs in a week.

They will seriously have your head if
you just walk out in the middle of this.

The scene has no sense.
The lines are stupid.

Character isn't real. I don't
understand what he's trying to do.

Okay, he's a terrorist.
He's full of hate.

That's all you have to play.

No. That's what I'm saying.
That's exactly wrong.

Wait, what's happening?

Omar has problems with how his
character's being portrayed in the script.

It's a bit late for that,
isn't it, Omar?

Let's get on with it,
bud. Don't call me bud.

Read the lines and
see how they sound.

I have read the lines.

And since I'm
producing this show,

you're either gonna do the lines
as they're written or I'll replace you.

I don't care how
late in the day it is.

Are you stupid or don't
care if it's propaganda or not?

All right. I'm gonna
have to ask you to leave.

No, you leave.
I'm talking to her.

Get security. MAN: Hey, over here.

Believe this? I can't...

I mean, he's...
I don't know what to do.

What's up?

Now, I'd advise you to go on your
own and not make them force you, okay?

All right, everybody,
back to work. This is over.

No, no, it's not over.
It's not over.

Hey, hey. Get this
maniac off of me.

Listen to me.
Wait a minute. Get off of me.

Wait, wait, wait.
I want to...

Get off of me.

Listen. Wait!

Freeze!

Get out!
Johnny, get out of here.

Down! Down!

Omar, chill out, man.

I was surprised when
you said you wanted to do this.

Last time I saw you, you
practically sprinted away from me.

I don't know what to say.

Tell me about you. I mean,
you're a mystery to me.

You're Egyptian, right?

Yes.

Uh...

I was born there.
That's all.

Okay, well, I came
here when I was 12.

And I went to school
and to college here.

So, really, you know,
this is like my home.

Yeah, but still, it must
have been hard for you,

the transition
from Egypt to America.

Uh...

No, not really, you know.

I wanted to fit in, so...

Well, you know, Egypt's right
at the top of my list. You okay?

I love Egyptian history.

I love Middle Eastern music,
Middle Eastern food.

Every time I'm on the
Westside, I go to that...

What's the name of it?

It's an Egyptian place.

Habibi's?

Habibi's, yeah.
It's a great place.

That's my brother's place.

Come on.

Really? That's amazing.Yes.

What does it mean, "habibi"?

"My love."

Do you want to eat?

No.

We're at Coyote Film Studios
in East Los Angeles,

where a gunman has seized
a number of hostages.

Eyewitnesses say that the man,
an actor, Omar Jamal Abdul Nasser,

attacked members of a film crew

and is holding the director,
the producer

and others against their will.

A security guard has been
reported to be shot.

Is this guy flying solo?

He's a disgruntled employee.

He got picked up
earlier for a similar thing.

I got a man trying to
penetrate from the roof up there

and another seeking a
vantage point from over here.

Why didn't you just listen?

Omar, please. It's just a TV show,
okay? It doesn't mean anything.

It means everything.

We're live at the studios

where the new TV series
American Safety is filmed.

An Egyptian-born Muslim actor
and part-time cab driver Omar Nasser

is still holding... I don't understand.

The film crew
hostage at gunpoint.

How can this be? He didn't do it.

Change the channel.
Put it on an Arab station.

Hey, hey, hey! Leave it, Murad.

I just asked him to
give up driving my cab.

That can't be it, Mustafa.
There has to be a problem, man.

The problem is
this young generation.

They listen to their heart
and forget about their brain.

You just wait.

If there is another 9/11

it will be safer for all of us
to go back to Iraq with Fikry.

Officers inspecting
the roof of the studio

where Mr. Nasser is
holding the hostages.

We don't know if
police are preparing

any kind of
assault on the studio,

but I've been assured
by the office authority...

Anybody working here?

Leila, see what he wants.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.
I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

Wait.

I won't hurt you.

No, stop.

Stop, please.
I'm sorry, I...

What did I do wrong? I thought...

I thought I could do this,

but I can't.

It's...

It's not you. It's me.

You wouldn't understand.

I can't even believe it.

I don't believe what I'm seeing.

You liked it with
a lot of sauce, right?

You know what?

I come in here and spend
good money for service,

not to take
a load of crap off you.

Sir, you're
talking to my daughter.

I come in here all the time.

Your daughter is rude to me.

I don't have to put
up with this shit.

Sir, I'm asking you
not to speak like that here.

Or you'll what? Come on.

Look at you people.
You're fucking pathetic.

Who are you
calling pathetic, bitch?

You, and all of you,

sitting around
bitching and moaning all day

about how Arabs are treated,
fighting amongst yourselves.

If that's the best you can do,

you deserve to have
your asses kicked.

You've got to let it go.

You can't win like this.
You'll just end up getting hurt.

I'm already hurt.

Hanging in there? Good.

You want some water?

Keep the pressure
on your leg and keep still.

Kate?

Omar, what are you doing?

His name
is still being withheld.

What did the doctor say?

He said...

Put down the gun, Omar! No!

Put it down, Omar.
You're going to get hurt.

Omar? The SWAT guys
are on their way.

They will not hesitate to kill
you. You have my word on that.

I was gonna let them go.
It's an accident.

I believe you.
I believe you.

I'm gonna put down my gun.

Now...

You step away from them.
You put your gun down now.

You can't arrest me.
I was gonna let them go.

Nobody's gonna do anything.
We're just gonna talk.

I'll listen.

Omar?

My fiancee, she's...

I've just heard a single shot

that sounded like a discharge
from a high-powered rifle,

possibly one of
the sniper rifles...

You deserve
to have your asses kicked.

I'll kick your ass,
you sand nigger.

Me, sand nigger?

50 Cent wannabe, trying
to look like a black man.

You think people in this
country think you're cool?

Damn right they think
I'm cool. You understand?

They don't think
you're cool, asshole.

Sir, I told you,
watch your language!

Excuse me, I'm looking
for Mustafa Marzoke.

I am Mustafa Marzoke.

What is your reaction to
your employee, Omar Nasser,

being killed by police tonight?

What?

EMS are coming out
with someone on a stretcher.

Yes, we're getting reports
that the gunman, Omar Nasser,

has been shot and
killed by police,

and that all
the hostages are alive.

In fact, I am seeing
the hostages now.

No, no, no!

They fucking murdered him! Stay.

Get the fuck out of my face!
Get the fuck out.

You people,
you fucking murder us.

You fucking film our suffering
for your entertainment! Fuck you!

Murad, Murad, Omar
is dead. He's dead.

What murder? He takes
people hostage with a gun.

What do you expect to happen?

Fuck you!

And fuck your American media!

No, fuck the Arab media!

Tell me about your employee,
Mr. Marzoke.

Did he have extremist
political or religious views?

What? No.

Do you
know if he has any connection

to any of the other
Middle Eastern men

being arrested
tonight by police?

He was our friend.
Go away, please.

Fucking camel cocksucker.

Go away! Go away!

Out! We're closed!

Okay. Okay. All right.

Please.

We're closed!

Out!

It's all right.
It's okay.

Mustafa, I heard about Omar...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my...

Who did this?

I did it. I did it all.

What?

Mustafa...

You don't need to worry
about me or the land.

Do you understand? You're
released from all of that.

You've done your duty.
You've done more than enough.

You've made a
new life for all of us.

Sam, I've always
respected your decisions

and let you run
the family business,

but this time, the family
thinks you're mistaken.

So I hear.

Then you're prepared to get
us out of this arrangement?

Ben.

I've always believed
in our purpose.

I've always tried to keep
that foremost in my mind,

but if anyone asked me
to apply that belief,

or even money for that matter,

to the destruction of
other people's lives,

I would draw the line.

Well, I know Mustafa.

And I know that he is
the same kind of man.

We are tied together
by the same forefather.

More importantly, I believe
we are tied together now, here.

We're Americans.

We can make a difference.

We can change things,

maybe show that catastrophe
isn't a foregone conclusion.

The everyday act
of breaking bread together

is more powerful
than all the hate.

Let's do it!

What's this? Wait. It's supposed
to say, "American Middle East."

YaYa, what happened?

I write the way you
tell me on the phone.

What?

I write the way you
tell me on the phone.

I don't know what he said
or what you wrote,

but it's
"American Middle East."

What's the difference?
He gave us a great price.

I can't argue with that.

Our investors.

Here come Fikry and
Murad and the four Mohammeds.

What are they doing here?

Murad, I thought no SUV.

It's a hybrid, bitch. Mother bitch.

Mustafa, look,
we talked about this.

You know, good luck for us.

No, no, no, no, no, no,
we talked about this, right?

This place is
gonna be different.

It's a business,
not a social club.

Sure, Sam. Sure.

Let's just get them in.

Whoa, we were here first.

No, we come before you.

No, you didn't.David, David, it's okay.

No, it's not okay.

Mr. Bloom is an investor.
He was here first.

Yo, March of the Penguins,
step off, boy, all right?

Murad... Just because you spend...

Hello, young man.
Who are you?

I'm Mustafa's son
and my name is Mohammed.

Good. Let's go inside,
shall we?

Are you hungry? Yeah, looks good.

Don't pay attention to them.
They don't know what they're doing.
