Traitor (2008)
We go now. Where your friend?
He's outside taking a piss. He'll be right back. Gun no good. You give me. No. It's a very good gun. Give me your gun. You understand? I understand. I'm just not giving you my gun. Give him the gun, Archer. You're kidding, right? Every 12-year-old in this country is carrying a Kalashnikov. Exactly why your pea shooter ain't worth shit. Give it to him. Where are you from? All over. But I was born in Sudan. Your English is very good. So is yours. What is your business here? Ahmed asked me to come. He didn't tell me. I can't negotiate like this. Negotiate what? I have six crates of Semtex, custom-built detonators, in my truck. Are you interested? Please... sit down. I can also show you how to use them without blowing yourself up. Unintentionally, that is. Unintentionally. That's funny. Samir. Ahmed. He was just about to. What was that all about? The captain was impressed with the SIG. I told him he could keep it. My gun? You gave him my gun? A small gesture of good will goes a long way in this part of the world. Shukran. Let's go. Come on! Come on! Hello, Mr. Horn, I'm Special Agent Clayton, FBI. This is Agent Archer. FBI? Since when does the FBI operate in Yemen? We don't. We have no authority here. You're under Yemeni custody. Bad fucking news for you. If you're willing to help us, we may be able to help you. You're gonna help me with no authority? They listen to us a touch closer when it comes to terrorism. Oh, I'm a terrorist? I don't know. You tell me. You been selling them explosives? Oh, I sell to whoever can afford to buy. Like the United States government. Only ours don't kill innocent people. Oh, yeah, they do, genius. People just usually have darker skin. Let's skip the political debate. We just want to know where the Semtex was headed. I don't know. I didn't ask. But you knew where it came from. Yeah. It fell off the back of a truck. Answer the question. You need to take some lessons from the locals. Ohh! Let me talk to him. Sorry. Must have forgotten my Bill of Rights at home. It's clear to me that you're not a fanatic, Samir. An opportunist perhaps, but not a fanatic. So consider this opportunity. You have an American passport, which means I can get you out of here. But I do need an answer. You want to spend the rest of your life here, in Yemen? You go right ahead. But you and I both know that I'm likely to be the last friendly face you're gonna see for a very long time. I don't have anything to say to you. The only difference between you and him is he knows he's an asshole. Why don't you just go home, Agent Clayton. - Nice guy. - You shouldn't have hit him. - He deserved it. - That's not the point. You get a suspect to talk by pushing his buttons, not by letting him push yours. Nobody ever teach you that? You are a traitor. You sold us out. Then why am I in here with you? Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Eh, eh, eh. You understand me? Do you understand me? Mmm. Ah, forget Allah. They cracked the encryption on that satphone you guys found in Yemen. Check out the call log. It correlates exactly with the Al-Nathir bombings. Rome, Berlin, Amsterdam. Where did the calls go? Payphones located in largely immigrant, Muslim neighborhoods. What have you found on Samir Horn? No criminal record. I searched NCIC, state and local databases. Nothing so far. Well, check with the military liaison, too. He sure as shit didn't learn to put detonators together in high school. Allahu Akbar. It's time to finish what we started. It's already finished. Lay your hand on any of my brothers, and it will mean your life. Shukran. Where did you learn to play? My father. How about you? Boarding school in Switzerland. - You win. - You want to play again? I haven't had anybody to play with for ages. Why don't you play with one of them? They're soldiers, not thinkers. Soldiers or martyrs? You know, I've been in a lot of battles. And they may have felt like a suicide mission at the time, but we always had a plan to come home. You must be willing to sacrifice some of your pawns if you want to win the game. - I don't know. - I think you do. You risked your life to share your food with a stranger. That's not the same thing. I was just doing my duty. - If I'd known there was... - Jihad is also your duty. Ahmed told me what you have done in Afghanistan. Tactics have changed, my friend. Tactics always change. You don't defeat an empire fighting by their rules. Once upon a time, it was the Americans who were terrorists to the British. They've forgotten the history already. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Piece of sh... Seor? All right, don't tell anyone I said this, but you're right. - The military had a file on him. - Hmm. Staff Sergeant Samir Horn. U.S. Army Special Forces. Trained at Fort Bragg. - Engineering and Explosives. - All right, skip to the next page. Horn was his mother's name. She's from Chicago. His father was Sudanese. Moved all over the Middle East. Had ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. Was killed in a car bombing in '78. Not sure which side was behind it. - Is that so? - Oh, and it gets better. The Army sent Horn to Pakistan in '86 to train in the Afghan rebels. It's where he got in touch with his Muslim roots. Decided he wanted in on the action. When his tour was over, he stayed behind, and joined the Mujahideen. There's been a bombing in Spain. Eleven Americans dead. They've got the bomber. ...an American tour group was the target of the attack, apparently. The latest carried out by Nathir, the Islamic terrorist whose identity and whereabouts remain a mystery to authorities. Do you have a woman? A family? No. You don't want no kids? I don't have a woman. What language do you dream in? English. Me, too. Really? You know, it's funny... I don't even feel at home speaking my own language sometimes. I don't feel at home anywhere. Samir. Samir? There is somebody that I want you to meet when we get out of here. We're in prison in Yemen for terrorism. I wouldn't make any plans, man. This guy's got to be in a state of shock. He planned on waking up in Paradise with 72 virgins. Blow yourself up to get laid. This has got to be some crazy shit. Where I grew up, the Klan burned crosses in front of people's houses and called it "Christianity." And then my daddy and the folks from the church would drive over and put 'em out. Seems every religion has more than one face. How you doin'? Okay, I think I know. You wish you were dead, don't ya? You wish you'd been successful? I've killed dozens of infidels. But you're still alive. And you don't strike me as a coward. Of course I'm not a coward. Well, some people are going to think you lost your nerve. I didn't. You know, tomorrow's newspaper is going to have your face on the front page with a story about you being captured and helping the police. - That's a lie. - You survived the blast. You fell into enemy hands. I don't think it is a lie. Who do you think's gonna have to pay for your failure? So I'm guessing it'll be your cousin, Hussein. He's the one that got you into all this, right? Don't be surprised, Ziyad. We know everything about you... family, friends... work, phone records. We even know what you listen to on your iPod. Leave me alone. There is a way out. But you're gonna have to give us some information. Nobody knows you're alive. If you answer my questions, tomorrow's headline could tell the world that you're dead. Why should Hussein suffer for this? Why should everyone think you're a coward? Come on, Ziyad. You talk now or talk later. The only difference is the story that everybody's gonna hear about you. Everything all right, brother? Have faith. And stay close. No, no, no! No, no, no. Stay down. Wait, wait, wait. Now! Go, go! - Sh... - No, no, no, no. Wait, wait. Come on! Come on! All I know is I was supposed to go to America, not Spain. Nathir was sending a whole bunch of us. And how many made it in the U. S? I don't know... 30, 40. Maybe more. They were handing out student visas. And that's all l... Nice work. The confession we got in Spain was clear. Now, the only reason Ziyad Hamzi didn't make it into the United States is because his student visa was rejected. But Nathir has sent others and they are here. Anybody else have anything on Nathir? About six months ago we picked up an intercept. Nothing solid but they did talk about a Al-Nathir operation code named "Risala"... an attack with multiple suicide bombers here in the U.S. Hold on a sec. You had intel on a domestic attack and you didn't pass it on? It was unsubstantiated. Well how could it be if you didn't share it? Enough. I don't want to hear anymore about people hoarding intel. We're taking this threat seriously. The White House is gonna want action. I'm talking about a major roundup of guys who fit this profile. And everyone works together on this. - Kelly was pretty worked up. - So? So a couple months back he told me that you were working an asset inside on Nathir. That was off the record. Yeah. I'm just saying maybe, uh... maybe that guy knows something. He's gone silent. For all I know, he's gone over to the other side. When the ship docks, you have a choice. You can get off and walk away as a free man. Our people can get you past customs. Then you're on your own. What if I stay? Our path is not for everyone. I understand. I think of you as a friend, Samir. So I will tell you this. Do not decide lightly. - Bonsoir. - Bonsoir. Merci beaucoup, ma chrie. What's the matter? - It's halal. - It's a Krug '95, actually. Don't look so disturbed, Samir. We shave, we drink alcohol, and sometimes we even eat pork. Hmm? In the Qur'an, it's called Taqiyya. "Become like your enemy to deceive your enemy." That's not Taqiyya. Excuse me? With all due respect, Brother Fareed, the Hadith says that the prophet Muhammad Sall-Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam told his followers that they could lie about being Muslims to save their lives if death was imminent. - It didn't mention... - Is death not imminent now? We're at war today. And to be effective, you need to blend in. No one's even looking at us. I told you, he's not some foot soldier. Samir is a man of faith. Faith is good. But you have to know how to follow orders, too. In one of the largest Homeland Security operations to date, ICS and FBI agents are questioning foreign students who were issued visas in Middle Eastern countries over the past two years. In some major cities, where there are large numbers... A number of American groups have protested the operation, claiming that it unfairly targets innocent civilians and amounts to racial profiling. The American Civil Liberty's Union has filed... ...has found that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism. Homeland Security... a waste of time and resources. We'll never find them this way. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in this world. Only 20% of them are Arab. These people could look like anybody, except maybe you. What, so you don't think we should be profiling these guys? I just think we should be concentrating on the one suspect that we do have. We train to kill, but it doesn't mean that we love violence. We use violence only because it has been used against us. The crusaders have invade our land, drop bombs on our people, stole our natural resources. We are fighting to end the suffering. We are fighting to end the humiliation and murder of... The Americans accuse us of killing innocent civilians. Yet they have been spilling the blood of innocent Muslims for decades. Does our blood not count? Allahu Akbar. History has shown us that time and time again no matter how great the empire, no matter how difficult the odds, a man who is not afraid to die can never be defeated. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Thank you. Your son is in a lot of trouble. What sort of trouble? He's involved with a terrorist organization. Do you believe in God, Detective Clayton? Uh, we don't use the term "Detective," ma'am. You didn't answer my question. Yes, I do believe in God. Why do you ask? Because you will never understand a man like Samir if you don't. Would you describe him as a devout Muslim? He's Muslim. I don't believe there is a sliding scale. Do you know what the word "Islam" means? "Submission." Yes. "Submission." Submission to God's will is absolute. Do you think Samir believes it's God's will for him to kill others? You carry a gun yourself. Now, you didn't answer my question. My son has seen enough death to understand the value of life. Who is it? FBI, ma'am. It's about Samir Horn. Now, the State Department hasn't answered any of my letters for weeks. I mean, I don't even know what prison he's being held in. Well, he's not being held anymore. He has escaped. When? A week ago. It was a prison break organized by the terrorist group he's working with. What are you talking about? I mean, this whole thing is a mistake. I'm afraid it's not, ma'am. We have evidence. - What evidence? - That's classified. - I can't tell you that. - Yeah, of course it is. You people are incredible. How long has it been since you've seen him? I don't remember. If you want to help Samir, you should talk to me. Do you think that every Muslim man is a terrorist? On the contrary. I am, however, looking for those who are. Now if you have any knowledge of what he's been involved in, you do have an obligation to share that with me. Are you charging me with anything? No, I'm not. When you have something more than secret evidence, then I'll talk to you. Uh, they just fired him. No explanation. But, uh, it was pretty obvious why. How did Samir take it? How do you think? So why did you let Mr. Horn go? Jeez, that was over a year ago. I don't recall the details. The information that we gather for these types of background checks is strictly confidential. Look, as far as I'm concerned, a man's religion is his own business. But when you wear a skullcap and pray to Allah five times a day, people are gonna notice. Some of our clients complained. Horn gets to Chicago when he's 12. He's just watched his father die. He's arrived from Sudan. He's going through culture shock. It's a classic profile. He's caught between traditional Islam and the West. His test scores are off the charts. But it said he had some behavioral problems. He was kicked out of high school his senior year for getting into a fight. About what? Three white students were harassing a black girl. Horn intervened. Two of the boys had to be hospitalized. Now he enlisted in the military right after that. His Army file was classified. But here's a copy. After he leaves the Army, Horn fights in Afghanistan for a few years. The list of people he could have met there is practically a who's who of Islamic terrorists, from Abdul Azim to Osama bin Laden. Now we pretty much lose track of him until he shows up in Bosnia where he meets Chandra Dawkin, the photojournalist. - Is she a spy? - No. The FBI tried to question her, but my source says she was uncooperative. Last fall is when things seemed to change. He loses his job, spends more and more time at the mosque. Then he begins disappearing on these long trips overseas. Last one he never comes back from. And somewhere along the way he meets up with someone who's connected with Nathir and bingo! You got yourself a terrorist. Boom! If this were the real thing, he could have blown everybody up. Come on, Omar. This kid is too young. He's not ready. I'm telling you. I'm sorry. Let me try again. No. Nobody cares about you being sorry. We cannot have mistakes. We can't play around with this shit, Omar. Bring me somebody who can do it. Please. I can do this. Give me a chance. Is this mission important or not? 'Cause if it's important, you need to bring... Samir. Let him try again. Turn around. All right. Let's see what you have. There's a copy of the transcript printing out for you know, sir. I got something. This guy made a call yesterday from a phone in Marseilles that we've been sitting on. Claims he's been selected to become shahid. You picking up a little Arabic? Ah, just your basic "Jihady". Now Clayton, this one's operational. This cat thinks he's gonna be in Paradise by the end of the week. Brothers, I know how proud everybody is about what we're going to do. It's an honor to carry out a mission like this. But we have a problem. Somebody talked about it. Hey, guys. I'm sorry. It was just my cousin. Omar, I didn't tell him anything specific. I just wanted him to know, to tell my family. Omar, he can be trusted. I swear. It wasn't for you to decide. Okay. Okay. It will never happen again. Omar. Wait a minute. Don't let them... Guys, hey! Bashir! No! Laissez-moi! Laissez-moi! No! Hey, stupid! You just ruined the mission. What the hell is wrong with you? You gonna put the bomb on now? Listen to me. The boy was a liability. Samir, we don't allow liabilities. We are very happy to welcome you, but it was not necessary for you to come all the way here over one phone call. We have reason to believe that this particular phone booth has been used by Nathir's operatives in the past. This could very well be their next suicide bomber. Thank you for the information, monsieur, but the situation is under control, I assure you. We didn't come here to play tourists. We came here to stop an attack. So can we please dispense with the horse shit? Okay. Ali Abbas Mukhtar. He was born in Marseilles. French citizen. But... no longer a threat. Why is that? He was found dead Tuesday morning. Omar. Nathir is angry. He wanted this thing to go forward on time. Well, it can still happen. We have to start over. A new target, a new bomber. Look, a new target, yeah. But for... Bonjour. Look, I've been thinking about this. I want to use a remote trigger. Do you know how important this mission is, Samir? Nathir is watching. He has plan for you. He knows who I am? So tell me your idea. The American Consulate in Nice. The American Consulate in Nice has sustained major damage in a bombing earlier today. Police are still searching the site for the body of a suspected suicide bomber. This attack bears all the hallmarks of other blasts earlier this year conducted by a group calling itself Al-Nathir. Three or more charges of high-impact explosives were placed... Samir. - As-Salamu Alaykum, my friend. - Wa alaikum assalam. - Welcome back. - Thank you. Congratulations, Samir. Job well done. The glory belongs to Allah. Look. ...American Consulate here in Nice, victim, of course, of a devastating terrorist attack earlier this morning. The death toll is now confirmed at eight, with five people reported injured. Well done. What's the matter? Eight? I-I thought there would be more, many more. My brother, congratulations are in order. What you have done is fantastic. Today you have struck a great blow against the myth of American power. Nathir is pleased. I only wish to serve his will. That's good to know. But tonight, you relax. Please, make yourself at home. There you are, my brother. Nice view, huh? Yeah. What you did, Samir, what we are doing... it's all about setting our people free. Even if you and I don't live to see it. If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live. Who said that? Martin Luther King. Ah. You're a very funny man, Samir. Yeah. Lab results are back. Traces of PETN, RDX. Semtex again. Just like the other Nathir attacks. Except all the other attacks were suicide bombers, and this looks like it's from an RF Receiver, hmm? Yes. He used small charges. One... and two. But just in the correct place to make collapse the building. This man, he knows what he's doing. RF range is usually no more than a hundred meters, so let's pull the tapes for all the security cameras within a five-block radius. No one there. Keep going. More. Back it up right there. What happened? There were no Americans inside. The two dead embassy employees were fakes, bodies from the morgue with false identities just like we talked about. Why is the news saying eight people? There was some unscheduled maintenance in a part of the consulate that was supposed to be empty, all right? I didn't know they'd be there. Listen, we couldn't control everything. Nobody was supposed to die! I'm sorry, Samir. Look, what do you want me to say? We set off a bomb. No, I set off a bomb. Look, I know you paid a price to get this far. Okay? You're close. You're very close. I don't know, man. You tell me. Do we stop? What made you learn Arabic? I took a class in college and got hooked. I even switched my major from Religion to Arabic Studies. You were a Religion major? My daddy was a Baptist minister. His daddy was a Baptist minister. It's in the blood. You know, when J. Edgar were in office, he never would have let you into the FBI. Wasn't my original plan. Not a lot of jobs, however, for Ph.D. s in Arabic Studies. Oh, I get it now. You were an egghead who got dragged into a street fight. Nobody gets dragged into a street fight. Welcome to Toronto, Brother Samir. It's a great honor, Emir. Please, sit. Thank you. - Tea? - Yes, thank you. Omar tells me that you play chess. Only a little. Thank you. In chess and in war, the key to winning is to anticipate what your opponent will do in advance. Think two moves ahead. The art of asymmetrical warfare is less about inflicting damage than provoking a response. Terrorism is theater. And theater is always performed for an audience. Ours is the American people. But we are dispersed across a large country. The question is, how to convince them that nowhere is safe. Samir, imagine a bus traveling cross-country filled with average, everyday Americans. People from... from all over. From small towns, from the country. Imagine the effect it would have if that very same bus were to suddenly explode. Now multiply that by 50. Fifty buses across the heartland of America, all at the same time, on the same day. We call this operation Risala Shukra Al-hiba. For years we've been planting martyrs in their midst. They are waiting for a signal, instructions, material. We need somebody who can move about the country without drawing attention. Somebody who blends in. An American messenger, Samir. He isn't capable of this. I don't like having to show these to you, Chandra. But we need to find him before this happens again. Samir always said that these people were Islam's worse enemies. Oh, he fought a Holy War with these folks in Afghanistan and then again in Bosnia. He was trained to kill. He was a soldier, not a murderer. I believe he deceived you as much as anybody else. His faith was a source of strength. Not this. - Welcome to the U.S. - Thanks. I'm a friend of Nassim's. I'm here to see Iqbal. Shukran. They transferred the funds for the Spain bombing the Middle Eastern way. You give a thousand Euros to somebody in one city and their cousin or uncle pays it in the... Thank you, Mr. Hayes, we do know what a hawala network is. The money trail ended in London. A Pakistani with some shady business dealings was the source of the money for the Spain operation. Yesterday he transferred $25,000 to Los Angeles. Do you have an ID on him? We're close. That's an encrypted phone. You can call me on it safely. Nobody can listen in. Including the FBI? Yeah. Especially the FBI. When do you think you can get in a room with Nathir again? I don't know. Probably not until I do what it is they sent me to do. Then you keep on going. Well, the problem is, to keep going means I'm going to have to put real bombs in their hands now soon. If that what it takes to keep your cover. Do you realize how far I've gone to protect your identity, Samir? I have kept you completely off the books. My boss, his boss... nobody knows you even exist. Look, I don't give a shit about any of that, okay? We need to rethink things. If you don't succeed, we may not get another chance. How far are you willing to take this? We've got blood on our hands. We've killed innocent people. Yeah, and if we stop now, they'll have died for nothing. This is a war. You do what it takes to win. You know who you sound like, right? We're the good guys, Samir. Oh, I know. Hey! Remember who you answer to. I answer to God. We all do. - Any problem? - No. Omar. Omar, Omar! Don't! Don't! Can't blow up unless there's a detonator in it. - Don't worry. - It still makes me nervous. We gotta talk about how we're gonna send these e-mails. What do you mean? I thought we decided to use coded e-mail. No, no, we did. We did. But the problem is e-mails can get intercepted. I got a better idea. We're gonna give each of our people an e-mail account and a password. All right? Then when we're ready to go, we log onto each one, we write the instructions, but we don't send them. We save it as a draft. The next morning they log on, they check their unsent messages. Nothing is sent. There's nothing for the FBI to intercept. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like this. Here are the names. There's only ten. We don't risk putting them all on one list. None of them even knows that the other exists. Ah. I like that. As-Salamu Alaykum, sister. Sorry. That's okay. They want that file translated right away. Sure. From British Intelligence, huh? Yeah. Good night. Good night. You have to get out, now. Leave nothing. Hold it right there! Get your hands up! Right there! Against the wall! Mr. Raman, how are you? Perhaps you haven't had time to read the fine print of the Patriot Act, but any person operating a money transmitting business must register with the U.S. government. Something you neglected to do, Mr. Raman. Now each transfer in excess of $10,000 can be treated as a separate felony and each count is punishable by up to five years in prison. And you moved over $2 million. I mean, you are the money guy. You can do the math. Now if you choose to cooperate, the charges against you will be dropped. The choice is yours. We'll give you five minutes to think about it. Wait! You having some car trouble? Yeah, it was making a funny noise. I think the radiator's loose. I got a toolbox. I've been praying for this day to come. Your prayers have been answered, brother. Now these go to the trigger mechanisms. All you have to do is attach it to the power source. This e-mail account has your final instructions on it. Chandra. - Samir! - Don't, don't, don't, don't! Pretend we're not talking. They're probably watching you right now. Just keep stretching. Keep stretching. Samir, what's going on? I'm sorry. I never meant to get you mixed up in all of this. Mixed up in what? I mean... you didn't have anything to do with that bombing in France, right? Just keep stretching. Samir, I need to know the truth. The truth is... it's complicated. Holy shit. Get on the radio. Hey. Did you do... Did you do what they said? Yes. Then you just stop it. Okay? Whatever... Whatever you're involved in. - Chandra... - Whatever you're doing, you just... Chandra, listen to me. I can't stop and I'm not coming back. You have to forget about me. Just forget about me. - No, Samir, listen to me... Samir... - Let me go. Let me go. We're on the ground. No, just keep him in your sight, but don't move on him yet. We're on our way. We're at 128 South Randolph Avenue. Continuing surveillance undetected is going to be a problem. We think he entered that building there, sir. Who followed him in? Uh, we were waiting for backup. You two go around back. You take the side. Come on. Let's go. It's all right. We're not here for you, fellows. - I'll take the rooftop. - Okay. Ohh! Agent Clayton. You're a persistent son of a bitch, aren't you? You're a hard man to catch. Turn around! Not too late, Samir. We can work something out. Tell 'em to stay put. You're coming out. Basement's clear. I'm coming out. Copy that. We have something in common. My father's a man of God, too. Yeah? We're practically brothers. Sit on your hands. Sit on 'em. I've read some of your father's teachings. He's a man of great integrity. How'd you stray so far from his way of thinking? - Your father was a preacher? - Oh, yeah. Then you know the Lord's Prayer. Say it. Say it. Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come... Ohh. He's gone. And we had guys everywhere looking for him. But those basement tunnels... they run under five city blocks of buildings. Yeah. He knew that, too. He used to live there. It was in his file. It didn't occur to me. I wonder why he let you live. Because I didn't try to beat the crap out of him like you did. Carter, you put a tracker on me? - Are you crazy? - The FBI's all over you. - I'm on a meet! - Come with me. I'm on a meet, Carter! Shit. Push me. Push me! Let's go! What the hell happened? Who was that? It was a cop. I went to see a woman. An old girlfriend of mine. And... And they were watching her, and then the dude jumped on me. I didn't even know he was there until I got to the... We have to get out of the country tonight. We've only made contact with 30 of the bombers. You better hope that's enough. And when we see Fareed, let me talk. Put your seatbelt on. This is the car Horn stole from the projects. Two of the shell casings have his prints on them. The body's over here. You say you had a federal ID on him? Yeah. Intelligence contractor. As-Salamu Alaykum, Brother Fareed. Wa alaikum assalam, Omar. - As-Salamu Alaykum. - Wa alaikum assalam, Samir. Good trip? Um... we had a problem. Samir has made a small mistake. - He went to see a woman... - Chandra Dawkin? Yeah, Chandra Dawkin. Listen... Yeah, but Fareed, the important thing is that he carried out his mission successfully. The important thing is... that she was cooperating with Federal agents. No. No. That's... I'm sorry. You're mistaken, Brother Fareed. I'm not mistaken. We have a source inside the FBI. Well then your source is mistaken. There's... No. She would never do that. I've known this woman for years. Show Samir to his room please. Omar and I need to talk alone. Yeah, but he's an integral part of our mission, Fareed. Yes. But going to see the woman has put us in jeopardy. Oh, come on, man. Who amongst us hasn't faced temptation? This isn't about temptation, Omar. It's about security. Leave aside your friendship for just one moment, my brother, and think. Think sensibly. What if he did it deliberately, huh? Unfortunately his actions have left us with a doubt. And what does that mean? We eliminate all doubts. Ml5 has recovered some files from a hard drive in Nathir's London safe house. One of them has a record of an operation... Risala Shukra Al-hiba. Where have I heard that before? Our phone intercept. Your intercept only picked up the first part of the code name. The date of the attack is in the full name. Leyla? "Risala" means "message," "Shukra" means "thanks" and "Al-hiba" is "the gift." So the literal translation is "Message of thanks for the gift." Thanksgiving. Exactly. That's when they're gonna strike. In two days time. What about the target? Well, we found traces of Semtex in the vehicle Horn abandoned in Chicago. But that was purchased in California a month ago. And he could have been distributing bombs right across the entire country by now. We'll raise the threat level. Double up protection on bridges, airports, monuments, the White House. Sir, I would also suggest that we place Horn on the high-value target list, too. He killed a good man. You're not going to get any objections from us. - You let me win, Omar. - No. No, I swear. You've gotten better, my friend. Please, don't bullshit me. You beat me enough times for me to know when you're throwing a game. Fareed has made up his mind. Sorry. It's not your fault. I did this. We're only men, my friend. I have a girl in Paris, Samir. Beautiful. Beautiful. She thinks I'm a music producer. You know, it's true what they say. War is the lesser jihad. To overcome temptation, to live rightly, that is the great jihad. And is that what we've been doing? You ever ask yourself that? Sometimes. But Nathir is the leader. And my duty is to follow. Come, let's pray. We've just received word from our source in Washington. It appears you're on the high-value target list. What is that? What does that mean? It means I owe you an apology, Samir. That means that the American government has put a fatwa on you. They want you dead. Hang on. This is... The system's running really slow. We need to get back on the road and make it to Halifax by tonight. Halifax? They will be looking for us big time after tomorrow. We'll be cruising across the ocean by then. All of us. Computer's frozen. What? Jeez, I gotta reboot the whole thing. - What do you mean? - Good God. - I gotta get some coffee. - No, no, no. You stay here. I'll get it. Make sure you get the numbers exactly right. I want each person on the road at the same time. Got it. That's it. - Done? - Yeah, we're good. Let's go. Aah. You've got to be shitting me. The U.S. is going to be attacked today and we just arrived at the ass-end of Canada. - Roy Clayton? - Yeah. This fax came for you. What is it? The county records for the two State Department employees killed at the consulate bombing in Nice. Well, these people died as infants. Wait a sec. These deaths are fake. Yeah. A few dozen ships in port right now, but only these five are scheduled to head out today. All right, all these ships are destined for U.S. ports except for this one... The Ivory Star. - It's a tanker registered out of Aden. - Yemen? - That's gotta be it. - That's gotta be it. You want to board her, we'll need an official request from the FBI in Washington. We go through HQ, this information's gonna get leaked right back. Wait a minute. Customs can search any ship that it wants if it thinks it has drugs on board, right? You have any friends left in Narcotics? We'll soon find out. Good to see you. Welcome, my friend. This is going to be a great day. It's almost time. The Americans love to brag about how their government represents the people. So we should accept that every American shares equal responsibility for their government's crimes. Nobody is innocent. We're leaving harbor soon, Emir. We have to stay below decks for a while. What's the matter with you? Uh, I'm getting a little seasick. I think I need to take some air. May I, Emir? - You're the head of security, brother? - Yes, sir. And how many men in your detail guarding the Emir? Seven crew members. Don't worry. We're certainly safe. Shit. Nothing. I think he's leading us on a goose chase. That was the harbor master. There's one more ship going into international waters today. Cargo carrier headed for Marseilles. Which one is it? Samir? Wait, brother. Think of your duty to... Omar! Omar! Omar! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Listen to me! What have you done, Samir? - I didn't come here to kill you, Omar. - You are a traitor! No! Nathir was the traitor. Fareed was the traitor. They betrayed Islam! No! I don't want to listen to you! - I'm gonna kill you, Samir! - It doesn't matter. I was dead as soon as I stepped foot on this ship. But I had to stop them. I had to stop this... What the hell are you talking about? You haven't stopped shit! Thirty buses are going to explode! Allahu Akbar! What are you doing? Who are you? - Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. - Why are we on the same bus? What the hell are you doing? I put them all on the same bus. No. No, that can't be. I saw you give them the bombs. I saw the e-mails. I changed the e-mails, Omar. It's over. I put my trust on you. I thought you were my brother! Omar. Omar. I am your brother. They used you, Omar. They used me, too. All of them. They used us for our faith. Drop your weapon! Omar. Omar! Hold your fire. Hold your fire! Samir? Samir, where's Nathir? Hang in there, Samir. Call a paramedic. It'll be okay. Samir. You wanna take a ride and talk? We can talk right here. Good to see you up and about. Didn't know if you'd make it. How's the shoulder? I'll live. I don't suspect anybody's said this to you, but this country owes you a huge debt. You came all the way out here just to tell me that? Come on, Clayton. I'm going someplace. What do you want? I've had your file wiped clean. Everything. The bombing at France, the bus, all of it. Effectively, you're a free man but there's still a lot that you can do for us. I'm a free man? This doesn't feel like freedom to me, Clayton. You think because you hit "delete" on some computer somewhere that that's it, it's over? I made choices about people's lives. - And I gotta live with that. - I understand. - Forever, Clayton. - I understand that. But you and I both know that this fight is far from over. You know, the Qur'an says that if you kill an innocent person, it's as if you've killed all mankind? It also says that if you save a life, it's like you've saved all mankind. You're a hero, Samir. Look, whatever you want to call me, I'm done. Well, we know how to find each other. As-Salamu Alaykum. Wa alaikum assalam. And you should start the conversation with that. |
