You don't sound like yourself.

You're preoccupied when we're talking.

You're not sleeping.

I'm just asking you,
what's the difference now?

[CHASE] I don't know.

Something's just off.

[DOG BARKS]

[MAN GROANS]

You want to tell me your name?

They found me.

[ANGELA]
Are you sure it was them?

[CHASE] This is not a drill.

[ZOE] I want to amount
to more than just a complication

in your story.

It's a different thing now, Zoe.

I don't know who we can trust.

[MAN ON PHONE]
Uh, Assistant Director Harper?

- This is Harper.
- [WATERS] In July 1987,

a man under you went M.I.A.
near Torkham.

You know the man I'm referring to?

[HARPER] This thing has been
buried in the ground for 30 years,

and I wanted it to stay there.

The nightmare scenario is

that Faraz Hamzad wants
to see you again

and he convinced someone
in the U.S. government

to make that happen.

Your daughter is about
to be a part of this.

[WATERS] Faraz Hamzad
was a warlord in Afghanistan

during the Soviet invasion.

He had a man in his camp.

Scared the living shit
out of everyone over there.

They called him Baba-khorkhore.

And word is,
Baba-khorkhore was Dan Chase.

[ABBEY] I heard from the Russians

that they had become aware

of a foreign prospecting crew.

This crew

had found a mineral deposit

of unimaginable value.

That mine makes Faraz Hamzad the
next president of Afghanistan.

Which is why I cannot tell him.

[HARPER] Chase had a relationship

with your client and with
your client's first wife.

Her name was Belour Daadfar.

[ANGELA] He's starting to
get suspicious about me,

and if I abandon him now,
he's going to know

that's not just something
that I would do.

[HARPER] You or Angela?

I'm starting to forget
what the difference is.

[BOTE] I gave you a daughter.

If Angela Adams
is never heard from again,

this can all be laid at her feet.

[CHASE] Where's my daughter?

I know she was with you.
Where is she now?

She's been taken.

We're gonna go get her back.

[WATERS] Look,
Farad Hamzad can have whatever he wants.

In this case, what he wants is you.

[MIKE] What the fuck is this?

Whoa, back up, back up.

[HARPER] I told you
not to leave Hamzad alive,

that it would come back and haunt you,

and you did it anyway.

I never told you
what happened that night.

It would've been so easy
just to kill him,

like I told you I would.

I couldn't do it.

I couldn't kill him
in front of his daughter.

[HAMZAD]
When you were a little girl,

I imagined there was nothing

that could ever come between us.

Then you were taken to a place
so far away,

I resolved to remember you
as only a ghost.

Was that a dream?

The Gumballs.

It was the name of her...

Her soccer team.

- Yeah.
- Right.

Yeah. You were telling me

how she never had
any interest in sports.

And then she woke up one morning,

and suddenly it was a thing.

- She was what?
- Nine.

Nine years old.

Was that strange for you?

For her to surprise you in that way?

- Harold...
- What?

We're gonna take a break
from story time now.

Things are about to get serious.
Get your head in the game.

Well, the stories are important.

When we see her again,
I want to be able to tell her

how we're trying
to make sense of all this.

I want to be able to tell her

how we're trying to understand her,

all of her,

the sides of her she can't

My name is Omar.

We have much to discuss,

The Taliban has spies everywhere.

Come.

Our unit is one of the last ones
in this part of the valley

offering any resistance
against the government.

We're small, but... we have spies, too.

There were whispers in recent days

that an agent with the FBI
has been abducted

by Faraz Hamzad,

that everyone expected
a response from Washington.

A response that,
after several weeks, never came.

You two are the response?

We were told that causing Hamzad trouble

wouldn't be a problem for you.

What kind of trouble
will this cause him?

The devastating kind.

- What would you need?
- [CHASE] Transport into the valley.

Supplies.

Day or two to observe
the village and build a plan,

and then we'd move.

20 men, small arms, in and out.

once, to our fathers.

To my friends,

we only knew Faraz Hamzad

as the monster that lurks
at the dark end of the valley,

an angry old man best avoided.

But when the Taliban took control,

the resistance commanders
all went to him,

to beg him to lead a fight
to keep Panjshir free.

To live up to the stories
and make them true.

He refused.

Why?

It turns out,

he has business with the government.

Business so valuable

he'd see the rest of Panjshir

He has plans to exploit it,

and it has made him
the most unexpected of friends.

Hamzad, he's no friend of the Taliban.

He hated those guys almost as much

as he hated the Russians during the war.

Yes.

So, how much money must be
in the ground over there

to have brought mortal enemies
together like this?

How much money must be in the ground

that no one will even talk about
how much money is in the ground?

The details of the deposit
are held as state secrets.

What do they need Hamzad for?

Why doesn't the Taliban just come in

and take it for themselves?

Because your government
has sanctioned them all.

Them and everyone here they know.

Everyone.

Except Faraz Hamzad.

For reasons no one seems
to be able to explain,

his name was kept off all the lists.

So he's the man in the middle.

He's indispensable,

and that makes him
a very dangerous enemy to have.

Your friends aren't afraid to cross him?

We aren't.
