I... I thought we were cousins.
Coming over the mountain, yes, we were cousins.
But going down the mountain...
Hello. Carole McKay, please.
It's she. Phil at S&H Construction.
Oh, hi. So, uh, you all moved in?
Hi. Uh, yeah, uh, How's the new house?
we're settling in okay. Yeah. I'm calling about your start date.
Yeah. I was gonna ask you, um... Uh-huh.
Just... I... I might need a couple more days before I start.
Yeah, but we agreed on you starting the 28th.
Yeah. No, I know I agreed to be there. We have deadlines.
You know we needed a safety inspector on the construction site,
I understand. but we agreed to wait for you.
No, I understand. I hope you're hearing me on this.
I'm hearing your very clearly. We run into overages here,
and we will run into problems with the central office downtown. Okay.
Um, uh, I'll be there. Okay? I hope that's not a problem for you.
Great. No. It's no problem. Thank you. See you tomorrow.
I have the poppy. I have more guns than you. You have nothing.
You need me. I need you?
Mm-hmm. You betray your own clan, you have nobody here to help you. You are alone.
Do you see? I see.
Oh, I see.
Please. Do you see?
I see.
You see.
Good.
We have work to do.
But I... I tell you what I, uh, do have though.
There's a team of Special Forces just beyond that ridgeline out there.
I didn't tell you about them.
Getting into position to stake this place out.
I guess it slipped my mind. It happens. But I wouldn't worry about that,
'cause they're only here to guide the F-16's in.
With laser designators.
They're zeroed in on this cave right here.
Two F-16's, guided bomb units on their way.
2,000 pounds of high explosives.
How much time we got left here?
Oh.
Thirty-five minutes flight time away. We don't have much time.
Where were you?
- Out. - With that girl?
Yeah.
Tyler, I... I found this today in this chair.
Is it yours? No.
Okay, is it hers? I don't know.
I was watching that. I don't care. Answer me.
I don't know. Maybe.
It's just pot, Mom. Would it be the end of the world if it was mine?
- It wouldn't be the end of the world, but I need to know. - Why? 'Cause Dad's a fed. Is that why?
No, 'cause I love you. 'Cause I'm your mother. 'Cause I don't want drugs in this house. How's that?
You know what? Call Dad right now.
Tell him the big, bad thing I did. Tell him I had someone in the house that maybe smokes a little weed.
"Maybe smokes a little weed"? Is that all she does? What do you know about this girl?
- Call him. - Answer me. I can't call him.
He's not taking calls. He's not taking calls right now. Right.
It's like the last time you split up. You didn't tell me for days, but I knew.
Tyler, we're not splitting up. Okay? We're not splitting up.
It's not what you think. Then what is it?
You don't know where he is, what he's doing, when he's coming back.
No. No, I don't. But I trust him.
Trust? Yeah.
Trust, Mom? The people that he rats on, they trust him too, right?
- He's really good at making people believe... - He's missing, okay?
Okay, I can't tell you where he is, and you can't call him because nobody knows where he is.
They've been sitting out there for the last three days watching this cave.
Yes?
For why do they let us in?
Uh, well, they let us in, but...
they're not gonna let us out.
You know how it works, right? They use the lasers to guide the bombs directly into the target,
which in this case is exactly where this guy's standing.
You need me. You kill me, we're all dead.
But with me, there's a chance for most of us to get out of here alive.
What?
Do you think I'm bluffin'?
What? There's nobody out there?
You know...
Please, please, please.
Do you believe me now, cousin?
Okay.
We're gonna have to get past those guys. I'm the only one who knows how to get out of here.
We got 30 minutes to get out of here. No, no.
- They would not bomb the cave with an American inside. - Nobody knows I'm here.
I'm all alone, man. Look at me. You think I bought this at J.C. Penney?
They think that we're Taliban checking the cave out.
A six-man team's been sitting out there for the last three days watching this cave.
Two F-16's with guided bomb units.
I've got 30 minutes. So, what's going on?
Find another way out.
What do you want? Two months ago, you helped organize a shipment.
This was something special.
This one had to have real close attention.
Your partner didn't tell you what it was.
For you, it was just another payday.
You were told to ship it using the regular heroin routes...
over the mountains by truck and mule,
into Karachi by barge,
then onto a freighter.
I need to know where it's going. I need to know what the final destination was.
No.
I was middleman. Number two.
I do not have this information.
Okay, you're a middleman. Okay.
Then we all die here then.
All right. Okay.
That's it.
Is he hurt?
I don't know. It's possible. Anything's possible.
But, you know, your dad knows how to take care of himself.
When did you find this out?
- Two days ago. - And you're just telling me this now.
I didn't want to tell you at all. I was hoping I'd pick up the phone, and he'd be there. I'm sorry.
You see,
some of the people he works with don't think it was a kidnapping.
They think he staged his disappearance,
that he's involved with some bad people.
I lose my... my wife, my daughter.
Little... Little girl.
Yeah, well,
we're just the guys that meet the ships, you know.
We never know what's coming in half the time. We get the phone call, we go out.
- Some nights it's packages. - Come on. Faster. Give me a hand, kid. Come on.
Other nights it's illegals.
- It is people. Human beings. - Yeah. All right. People. Whatever.
Take 'em someplace quiet. There's transport waitin'.
After that, it's none of our business.
How can ship go down just like that?
That's a dangerous piece of water out there, boy.
- It can take a ship any size. - With no warning? Nothing?
Sorry to hear about your family.
What is so special about this shipment? Huh?
You... You risk our lives for this?
- Your ex-partner worked for Al-Qaeda. - No, no, no.
A couple of kilos of heroin, illegal aliens, smallpox.
What difference does it make? As long as you have the contacts and the routes...
- Smallpox? - Yeah.
It was stolen from an ex-Soviet lab in Uzbekistan.
It was swapped for heroin by an Al-Qaeda cell.
It's three stories. All brick, hardwood floors.
I mean, look at these buildings. They're beautiful.
I know what that building is.
It's the one that took you and your partners down for five million, right?
They foreclosed on us.
They can't do that. We sold 15 units.
That still leaves most unsold, and we haven't got the cash to complete the renovation. Damn it!
I tried to clean up the streets, but I couldn't.
I... I called the city, but I didn't get anywhere.
Their attitude is they're all junkies down here. They're out of sight.
Yeah, but if, um, Spare some change, man?
Come on. somebody, uh, took it upon themselves to do a friendly thing for the neighborhood, huh?
Clean it up. I'm just showing you the property.
You couldn't have done this yourself? How much does a can of gasoline cost?
You know the streets. You know who to call.
I mean, this is a $2,000, $3,000 cleanup.
You're sittin' on millions. I mean, look at the potential.
It's a great building.
Yeah, it's me.
It's took care of. Yeah.
I want you to make promise to me.
When we find that Chechen again,
I want to take care of him too.
Yeah. Okay. Bye.
Hi. Good to meet you.
You too. Well, as you know,
we've got some real problems here.
Health and Safety nearly closed us down last month,
jacked up our rate.
And we got a penalty clause that'll kill us.
You settling in okay? Yeah. It takes a little time.
You have a son, right? Yeah, he's 15.
How's he liking Seattle?
Tell him it only rains once a year.
January to December.
What you doing home? I just didn't feel like going to school.
You're not the only one, buddy.
So, uh, you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. How are you?
Cool. Is your mom here? No, she went to work.
You know, your mom's really, really pretty.
She's absolutely gorgeous. This your dad?
Yeah.
Nice. He always this, like, rock climbing, skydiving, like, adventurous dad?
- Yes. - My dad's a total lazy ass.
Would you put that back? Never lifts his ass off the couch.
Literally. Total couch potato. Just eats Doritos all day, watches TV... Will you put that back?
I don't like you touching that. Okay.
So, what do you wanna do today?
Don't light that stuff in here. I don't like that in here.
Why are you freaking out? I'm just not having a good day.
- I'm not in the mood at all. - What's the matter?
Look, I just found out my dad's missing. Maybe he's dead.
- He's dead? - Yeah. Nobody knows anything. I don't...
Wait a minute. Hold on a second, okay? Just slow down. Um, what's going on?
Like, really. What are you talking about?
This is not making any sense whatsoever to me...at all.
Like, what does your dad do? What the hell does your dad do?
You wanna know what he does? He works for the D.E.A. Okay?
That's what he does.
Whoa.
- You happy now? You still want to be my friend? - I've gotta go.
Just gonna leave? Yeah.
Don't wanna be my friend anymore? Why didn't you tell me?
What did you expect me to say? I'm doing drugs in your house. I'm...
Your dad's D.E.A.
Okay. I've gotta go.
Why do you do this?
Okay.
I wanna know where it's goin'.
Europe...
or the States?
I wanna know where it's going. That's it.
We don't have much time.
I have no politics.
Yeah, okay.
But, uh, politics is gonna fly in and bite us in the ass.
You're missing two guardrails here. That should be fenced off.
Sure. Okay.
- And tape these cables down as soon as you can. - We can do that.
Is that it for the ground level and this floor?
There's the exposed trench I pointed out before. Some of the pigtails on your scaffolding aren't tied off properly.
Take care of all that by Wednesday, you'll be okay. We'll get on it.
Excuse me for one second.
Hello.
What if Mike did stage his disappearance? What if he did?
What does it prove, except that he wanted to disappear?
Without even the people he works with knowing where.
Why would he do that?
Unless he thought someone he works with, or someone on the inside, had turned.
Let's say he did stage it all.
To give himself a head start. Isn't that possible?
And not just a spur-of-the-moment thing. Something he planned every moment of.
Wait, wait. This is minefield.
- Look at the sign. Look. - Just walk with me. Just follow me.
Slow. Slow. Wait. Wait.
Part of my job's investigating accidents. Someone breaks a leg, a scaffolding falls.
I look for cause and effect to put two and two together.
What are you saying? My house was bugged, I was followed, and I've never gotten a straight answer.
Somebody knows what happened to Mike.
Someone's scared of what he's out there looking for and is covering it up.
I think the answer's in the D.E.A.
Isler?
No way out.
Okay.
Standard container.
Shipped Karachi to Sulawesi.
What's the container serial number?
No. I do not have this information.
Where's it headed?
You have way out of here, yeah? Yeah. Yeah.
Where's it headed?
The U.S.
Which coast? West.
Which port?
- I want some of this. - Yeah, man, as much as you can carry.
Just tell me which port.
Seattle.
We're gonna have to get to that next ridgeline and hunker down.
- That's supposing we make it out of the entrance. - How do we do that?
Well, that calls for a sophisticated military tactic called "R.L.H."
When I give the signal, we "run like hell."
You asshole. This is your plan?
A moving target's harder to hit.
Now... Now, there's dead ground to the right.
We move fast and low, some of us might make it.
Some of us? Well, their real job isn't to kill us anyway.
It's to guide the bombs in.
Heads-up. Movement. Go to the tunnel!
Lay down fire!
Go to the tunnel!
Get ready! They'll come right now!
Arms up!
Okay. Go.
Lay it down! Lay it down!
Aaah!
Keep goin'.
Moving out.
Go.
- Be careful of the car. - Okay.
Hi. How you doin'?
Are you looking for my dad?
Upi, in the house.
What's the matter, Dad? Inside the house.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
Well?
What do you want?
Look, get off my property, okay?
I'll call the police.
What are you, dumb?
Get off my property.
I know people. Okay?
Get inside the house.
What have I told you about talking to strangers? I thought it was your friend.
So the bar's not going to be in my name?
Have you ever had a state tax board audit?
The I.R.S. think they're the Gestapo.
The bar's going to be in, uh, your name maybe?
We put it into a dummy company with no way to trace ownership to you.
So, what do you want? I mean, how do you get yours?
I want to set up a financial services shop...
with one client: you.
I want to give you the tools you need to run your business as a business.
Keep you one step ahead of the I.R.S.
The real money is in distribution.
I don't need to know what you're shipping or... or who you're shipping it for.
All I need is a laptop,
a fax, an office,
a new car,
and I'm gonna bring you into the 21st century.
Do we have a deal?
Hello.
Yes. It's me.
No interruptions.
The... The Chechen showed up again. He came to see me again, threatened me.
You spoke to him?
Face-to-face, yes.
He's... He's very desperate now.
He has nothing to lose. They're very dangerous, people like that.
And what did you tell him?
I said to myself, "This is a man who won't go away, no matter what I tell him."
I said to myself, "Best to make this man think I can help him." You see?
- What did you tell him? - Te... Tell him? Nothing.
Nothing. What can I tell him? I'm just the middleman.
But I said to myself, "If I can arrange for this man to come to see me,
"make him think that he will learn what he needs to know,
"perhaps meet the man who arranges the shipping,
then he will take the chance," you see.
You didn't use my name. No. No, no, no, no. Of course not.
No. But I'm thinking, if I can make him think that I've had enough,
that I'm... that I'm giving in, you see,
perhaps then when he comes at 3:00...
at 3:00, you see, when he comes here,
something can be done about him.
You did exactly the right thing.
Yes. Yes. Thank you.
I said to myself... Make sure he's with you at 3:00.
Yes. Yes. Of course. I'm terribly sorry to disturb you.
Look, I don't like you using this line anymore.
I'm gonna get somebody to bring you a secure phone.
- I don't want you talking to me on anything else but that. You got it? - Yes, yes. Of course.
That's an excellent idea. Very good. Very good.
Don't worry. We're gonna be in business together a long time, you and me.
Yes.
Hello?
You ever hear of the Engineer? Engineer? No.
He was this genius Arab bomb maker.
Car bombs, suicide bombs,
booby traps... a real craftsman.
The Israelis were chasing him for years.
But nobody can get near him.
He's bulletproof. All right?
Then,
somebody has an idea.
Why not just,
you know, give him a call?
It's all been arranged.
They'll be coming here any moment to answer all your questions.
Whatever you need to know.
Come on. It's in the office.
Yeah?
Well, why don't you, uh, call a cab?
One minute.
Yes?
Hello. Hello. Seattle Police Department.
Can I have your name and address, please?
Uh... Hello?
Can I have your name and address, please?
Hello?
Hold it!
- Get down! - On the ground.
Now!
Get down! Hands up!
Let me see 'em! I'm an American.
Mike McKay. On the ground! Now!
I'm an American citizen.
- What have we got here? An American Taliban. - D.E.A.
I'm D.E.A.
I work for the United States government.
- Over here! Get down! - I work for the United States government.
I have information of a possible terrorist attack...
using the heroin smuggling networks.
I don't know what information you got, buddy. You sure got a lot of heroin here.
Keep turning.
You, move it!
Move. Move!
Isler.
That's confirmed?
They're bringin' him in now with the dealer he sprung from the base hospital.
Doesn't look good. Doesn't look good at all.
I have information of a potential terrorist attack on the United States.
There's a container carrying smallpox headed right into the Port of Seattle.
- If you don't keep your mouth shut, you won't be selling it to anybody.
Okay.
Get my name off the bar. Put the house in someone else's name.
Make me legitimate.
And, uh,
don't answer the phone unless you know who's callin', huh?
So, you gonna give me the numbers to the containers or...
or what?
Just gonna sit here? Play games? What?
You know what my people do?
We smuggle poppy, and we fight.
I think you would like this life.
I just want to go home, take a hot shower,
be with my wife.
I watch your Hollywood movies.
John Wayne, Clint Eastwood.
You have the Wild West. And now you think you have this.
Listen, man, you don't have much time here.
So why don't you tell me the numbers of that container, 'cause that way if we get split up I can help you.
No, no, no. You do not care about the... the smallpox.
It is like sport, game for you.
This is where you want to be. No, no, no.
No. Please, please. Tell me. What do you have waiting in the States?
Family? Do you think they are what you really want? Hmm?
Just give me the numbers, man. Yeah, for how long before you leave them again?
Just... Just give me the numbers. How long? Two days? Two weeks?
I watch your face. I know this is true. Listen... Listen to me.
They're gonna ship me on to the States, but you, cousin,
you're gonna have an Al-Qaeda label around your neck.
You want a vacation on Guant�namo Bay for 20 years?
Do you want to go off to some unspecified third country where they interrogate you their own way?
You don't want that. You don't.
This is heaven compared to that.
But if you give me the numbers, I can help you.
Listen, man, you gotta trust me on this.
Trust you? Yeah.
Look, you fly back to the States, and you forget about me. No, no, no.
For why should I trust you?
Have I lied to you? Have I?
I'm the only one you've got.
8654-64328.
8654-64...
64328.
8654-64328.
Yes.
Let's go!
Cousin. Cousin. Cousin!
Co...
Hello.
Nobody called.
You okay?
Yeah.
Just so you know, you won't have to worry about my friend coming by anymore.
What happened?
I told her what Dad does.
Tyler, you know we don't do that.
Yeah, well, I did. And I told her that he's missing.
I don't know what to say. I wish your dad had a normal job.
I wish he came home nights and you guys could shoot hoops, but... Forget it.
That's not even what I was talking... Tyler, wait. Please.
Please.
You really like this girl, huh?
Her name is Angie, Mom.
Yeah, I do. I really do.
I'm sorry. I just can't help but worry.
Do you even know what this girl's into? She might have real problems.
Maybe she's found the answers to them, Mom.
How can you even say that?
Just because she does drugs doesn't mean she's a bad person, Mom.
- And just because you like her, doesn't mean you're responsible for her. - I didn't say that.
You know what? Maybe we should just throw her in jail, 'cause that's what it seems we do these days...
Tyler, I didn't... That's not what I meant.
Hello. Hey.
They found Mike. He's coming home. They're flying him straight back.
Oh, God!
Your dad's comin' home. Is he okay?
Oh. Oh, my God.
Thank God. Thank God.
Your dad's comin' home.
He's all yours!
Can you believe we let people live like this?
What is this? The third world?
Get out of here!
Hey!
Stop it! Stop it! What are you doing?
Leave me alone! Leave me alone!
No! No!
No!
Stop!
Get off me! Get off!
Let go!
No!
It's just over here. Well, I like it so far.
Thank you.
Right this way.
So, I need about a thousand square feet to start with with an option to expand.
I think you'll like what I'm about to show you.
Great. So, uh, what type of business do you do?
Well, I'm a financial adviser, specializing in high-income clients.
Very personal. Here, let me give you a card.
- There you go. - Thank you.
We're here.
Yes. After you.
Thank you. Right this way.
Oh. What about T1 lines? Are those in or...
We have T1 lines, 24-7 security,
concierge service,
executive parking privileges,
health club, gourmet restaurants,
and as you can see, a great view.
If you're looking for a gem of a building to do business with your top clients,
this is the best property in the Pacific Northwest.
Wow. I love it.
- Yeah, hello. - Hey, it's me. Where is he?
Oh, uh, we're gonna get him back to you as soon as we can.
- Can I see him? - Yeah, maybe in a couple hours.
- But he's okay? - Oh, he's fine. He's fine.
- He's just a little tired from the flight. Oh, my God.
- Let me speak to him, all right? - Come on, Carole. You know how it goes. We can't do that now.
Brent, what's going on? Is she there?
Is that why you can't talk?
- I'm coming down. - No, Carole, not a good idea.
Brent, I just gotta see him. I'm coming down.
Carole...
Is Dad okay? I don't know. I'm gonna go down and find out.
Let's clear this up so you can go home.
Okay.
All right, now, uh,
I've been working on the links between the heroin smuggling routes and the global terrorist infrastructure...
as it's developed over the last 10 years.
Now, I believe there's a quantity of smallpox that's on its way to the city,
and it may even be in the Port of Seattle now, today.
You disappear with a dealer, and you hire your own private army,
head deep into the mountains, stayed out of contact? I had to do it that way.
You're found in possession of north of $10 million of heroin.
I just needed something to bargain with.
You make that decision by yourself, don't even include your own partner?
I just didn't want to involve you in this thing in case it didn't pan out.
So, listen,
the container serial number is 8654...
dash, 64328.
And if I am right, it's got enough smallpox to cause tens or hundreds of thousands of fatalities in this city,
many more nationwide.
We know they can strip a freighter in less than a day.
Next day, that container could be anywhere in the United States.
Mike, what we know right now...
is you took this guy to a cave and helped him take $10 million of heroin.
To do that, you risked compromising a multi-agency operation to destroy its contents.
For a real good reason. You've got nothing to back it up.
You know, that's the problem they're having, and quite frankly, that's the problem I'm having.
Wait, wait. Wait a sec. Is there anywhere in my personnel file that would suggest that I would jump the rails on this thing?
It happens. It wouldn't be the first time.
Kabul's talking to the guy that you pulled this off with, and he says that you recruited him to grab the heroin.
That's it. You never asked him about smallpox. He doesn't know anything about smallpox.
Maybe he's too smart to want an Al-Qaeda label slapped on him. Come on, Mike.
You've gotta do way better than that. All right. Okay. What about this?
Remember how this all started? Remember that dealer we pulled out of that ditch?
He was with that dealer that I had lined up... Walid.
You hand it to this guy in Dubai,
and he gives you a half a million dollars.
No wire transfers, no bank files, no paper trail.
Everybody gets rich, and granny's still out there on the porch sipping her lemonade.
What do you say? No deal.
What do you say?
There's half a mil looking at you right there.
But he wasn't playing.
Now, I had to get out of there fast.
But then the guy says somethin' that wasn't in the liner notes.
I know what you really want.
My cover was blown.
He knew I was D.E.A. Which means he got to somebody.
Somebody decided that they wanted a little piece for themselves.
Somebody out there, somebody here.
Hmm. You know?
You have proof of this?
He knew that I was D.E.A.
You're saying somebody deliberately compromised an investigation into a terrorist operation?
I think they just assumed it was just another heroin drug bust.
You know, and decided that they wanted to make a little extra cash on the side.
Whatever it was, the fact is that Walid knew,
and I was the one who walked into the trap.
Drop your weapon!
Drop it!
I know why you are here.
God is great.
I don't really give a rat's ass about who it was. That can wait.
What matters is that people should start listening to me when I tell them that it's on its way here...
and that it's worth taking a chance that I'm right,
because with this thing, we get no second chance.
Beep! Beep!
Wow. Looking great, guys.
Hello. Uh, hang on.
Tyler. Yeah?
It's for you.
Got it.
Hey.
Hey. Uh...
Look, can you call me back later? I'm kind of busy right now.
No, I really, really need somebody right now.
What's wrong?
Some guys, they just...
I'm real beat up. I'm really hurt.
I need you.
Where are you?
Just came down here, and... and they trashed the place.
Oh. The... The bank building.
Can you meet me there?
Can you...
No, I'm coming.
Tyler?
Heroin is the thread that ties it all together.
It's how they move their assets around.
It's more portable than cash, and it doesn't leave electronic fingertips. Don't lecture me on heroin.
Well, don't give me reasons for not doing anything.
Especially after what I've gone through to bring you this.
I think we should be looking for that container.
Miller. D.E.A. Isler.
So, what do you want to do? Shut it down.
Right... Are you sure? I said... shut it down.
You want the entire port shut down?
Okay. Okay. Thank you.
I guess I just put my career on the line.
Alongside yours.
Just have to follow your gut.
I did.
That's the container. I want you to make sure it gets there.
654-64328 Got it.
Okay.
I'm good to go?
All right.
Hi.
So, uh, your boys were busy last night.
Don't you think we should keep a lid on it until the deal's finalized?
I just don't think we need the cops to get involved.
You think the cops care?
I did the job they'd like to be doin'.
I... I just think we should keep it quiet until it's finalized. That's all.
Don't ever tell me how to run my business again.
Hello.
We have breaking news on that freighter that sunk off the Washington coast with numerous fatalities.
A crew member, possibly the sole survivor,
has been brought here to the Highlands Medical Center.
When'd they find him? Last night, off the shore.
You sure of this? They just got one guy?
Just one guy. Where they got him?
They're taking him over to Memorial.
What have you done about it?
Nothin' yet. That's why we're calling you.
I don't understand how this happened. The ship went down.
Whatever happened to going down with the ship? Don't they do that anymore?
So, do you want me to come over there then? No. No.
Stay there, okay? I'm gonna fix this.
I'm coming to you. I'm gonna fix this.
