Previously on Sleeper Cell.
Her husband's serving a 20 years sentence in San Quentin
for vehicular man slaughter and drug trafficking.
The only reason why I haven't divorced is because his lawer keeps stalling.
You talked to your father recently?
Just because you work for the FBI doesn't mean you're not his son.
Faris al-Farik.
He has got a wife and a daughter in London.
She's just a child.
Imagine what they can do to her.
It seems Salim caused quite
a scandal in the London Iraqi community
over a little love affair that he got into.
Call me.
It was a Muhjahidin that found me.
Help me learn what happened to the rest of my family, that they were all dead.
'taught me how to fight.
I need new papers and a way out of Canada
Of course.
You'll be on a plane back to Europe tomorrow.
- You're a mum? - A nanny.
But you know how it is...
I spend more time with these kids than their parents do.
Maybe you wouldn't mind acting as a...
go-between.
You mean spy on Darwyn?
No fucking way!
Aziz has done his part and a fuel rods
are headed for Germany.
I did a walkthrough of the hospital that we secured
compared it to the other 2 the brothers wanted me to check out.
They all share one thing in common:
radiation containment facilities.
Planning nuclear attack.
Your old friend brother Darwyn Al Hakim...
Now he is the leader of the cell.
What do you think of this man?

No problem with the call brother Farik?
No problem.
The best place to hide is in a crowd,
and it sounds like traffic here is as crowded as ever.
I'm looking for...
Benjamin Al-Sayeed.
67-68 used to be Charlie in the bush
Now, it is Hajji in the sand doom.
Irak is just Arabic for Vietnam.
The origin of that word is still being debated.
Some people say it's Arabic for deep rooted
other say it's Arameen for "land on the banks of the southern rivers."
Phill!
This is my son:
Darwyn.
Authority...
on Iraq.
How'd you know I was here?
Mom called.
What did she tell you?
She said your neighboor found you laid out on the porch.
An ambulance brought you in for insuline shock...
You left, before you were cleared and collapsed in the parking lot.
Hit your head and broke your arm.
Can you give us a minute please?
What's the matter Darwyn?
Don't trust me?
Afraid I'll start blabbing about you being an FBI
agent like that's something I would
tell anybody about!
But it's nice to see the FBI has taught you
to jump to conclusions based on second hand information!
Doctors said the same thing mom said
- about you dad... - The same tried
in true tactics they used for Co Intel Pro.
Counter Intelligence Program.
The Fed's grand scheme to take down the black path of party*
and the nation of Islam of which I am a proud member.
And that was 40 years ago.
The FBI has a different organisation and so has the nation.
But they still represent
the same things.
There is still
their nation
and our nation.
Well your nation is responsible for the death of Malcolm.
All right then boy, you did check on me.
just like your mother asked. You can go now.
You've done your good deed for the day.
I'll see you around pops.
Daddy!
So why didn't you call?
Because I'm stronger than you.
Sure about that?
See what you bench press...
You make jokes.
Don't you ever think about what you're doing?
How you make it up to God?
I had no idea you are a... bible thumper.
I'm not a bible thumper.
Hey!
Take it easy man. Just...
figure of speech.
Besides...
all you really wanna do right now
is throw me up against that locker and fuck me.
Where I come from, what God says isn't debated.
It's the law.
You know what they'll do if they saw what we did together?
They'll throw us both off the highest bridge or...
stone us to death or...
take a pit, throw us in and collapse it on top of us.
Okay.
Enough, thanks.
Christ...
Look...
You are strong.
That's not a matter of selfcontrol.
This thing inside you that...
you hate so much because you can't control it?
Maybe you're not supposed to control it.
Maybe...
that's how God made you.
You've got my number.
I've got a new URL on the SecurID card.
Order us to pick up a shipment on Wednesday night,
port of L.A.
Pier 206, off a freighter from Bahre�n.
Do you think it's a nuclear pilot*?
No way to know it for sure but that's where my money is.
All right, we've alerted the IAEA, they'll let us know immediately
about any and all radioactive material that may have turned up missing.
Good. I'm gonna have Salim test for any radiation leaks as a failsafe.
It's a good way to keep him busy.
I'll start coordinating immediately with DHS and L.A. harbour department.
We'll have teams ready to grab the shipment
and pick up all the cell members Wednesday night.
Now you're sure this is everything?
Right?
I'm supposed to ask for a guy from "Crescent cargo" once I get there.
That's it.
"Crescent cargo".
Okay.
Cheer up, man.
A few more days...
and all will be over.
We need to test the containment liners on both the cooler and the suitcase.
Why?
I followed the specs exactly.
We still need to test them.
Our mission depends on taking them to the target
without anybody knowing what's inside.
If our skin is burning off, they might get a pretty good idea.
Fine.
The building block high level gamma radiation.
It's not like these kind of radio nucleons
come in happy meals.
I try to get a drop of that stuff,
I'll get the entire department of Homeland Security jump at me.
Not if you use americium 241.
Could you ring this up, please?
Marcus, don't you dare spill that, ok?
Grand'ma gave you that shirt and I want it spotless
- when she gets here. - I got it, I got it.
You're smoking again, huh?
Yeah. I'm smoking again.
Something about being stalked by a psychotic-you-know-whatorist
stresses me out.
I swear, the more I learn, the less I get it.
How your beliefs come out of the same place as these psychos!
Sure it's not your mother-in-law coming that's stressing you out?
Nope. Pretty sure, it's having to watch my fucking back 24/7.
I told you you should leave town.
Oh! That's great, Darwyn. I leave town
and then what?
Jeopardize your entire case?
And then I'm responsible for the next 9/11? No, I don't think so.
Or maybe you're getting... hurt?
I don't think I can handle that.
Look Gayle...
Soon, things are gonne be ov... What?
Oh! Sorry buddy!
- Let me get you a sponge. - Oh God!
No, no. Don't worry about it.
Look, Darwyn...
Maybe you should just go, ok? I... really...
I've got a lot of cleaning to do.
Hey! Darwyn...
You know, 4th of July is coming up, and I was thinking...
I know it's hard for you go out with us these days but...
Maybe we can all... do something?
Maybe take...
someone to see F-I-R-E-W-O-R-K-S.
I'll try...
I wish mum could be here.
Me too.
She's is a very good rider. Almost as good as you.
When is she going to be done with her special trip?
I don't know.
That's part of what makes it a special trip.
My friend, Ann.
Her mum went on a boat to the South Pole
and they can talk to her on the phone.
Your mother is not Ann's mom and you don't need to talk to her
on the phone to know that she's thinking about you all the time.
Now, you know what?
I think it's up to you to ride on your own.
Come on.
Riding is one of the life's...
great pleasures to learn.
Come on.
- You speak english? - Yes.
I enjoy practising with you.
English, number 4 language for me.
Hey, number 4.
I be most smart driver on road.
I am the smartest driver on the road.
No, no.
I am the smartest driver on the road.
Where are you going?
Sarajevo.
Sarajevo?
You have good luck, my friend. My truck goes to Sarajevo.
You go home?
Yes.
My wife...
she's also muslim.
Her family, they shit pants when they hear I'm a Serbian.
Sarajevo!
Different world, brother. Different world, now.
Before, I kill you because you're muslim, you kill me for being serb.
Not anymore.
Today, I invite you
to my truck and I carry you home as a good neighbor.
That's how it is, okay?
Okay?
It's not easy to forget.
But we try forgive.
We will try to forgive.
Fuck English.
How's the task going?
I feel like ***
shelling peanuts in a factory up North.
Why do we need so many?
Well, each one only contains trace amounts of americium 241
which leaks out particles and gamma rays.
And gamma rays
can penetrate lead, and that's what Salim's containers are for.
But they are so little gamma radiations
in each alarm that we need a ton of them
before we can test if our containers have weak spots.
Hello?
No, no. Now is not a good time.
You can't, can't you?
Okay. Okay.
I'm on my way over there.
How many more you got left?
Two fucking million, man.
Keep an eye on things for a while.
I'll be back in a couple hours.
It's too big.
I told you we can't fix it.
Mom will just buy me a new one.
You should never throw something away just because it's a little broken.
I promise you:
after we fix it, you'll love it even more.
'Cause every time you'll play with it, you know you were the one
who make it work again.
All I need is a smaller one of these.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry, we wanted to fix Cody's truck.
You know my workbench is private area, Cody.
- What've I told you a thousand times? - It's my fault.
I don't care whose fault it is, I want both of you outta here right now.
Right now!
Pa, what are you doing?
Leaving early is how you got hurt in the first place.
How'd you know I was getting out? Your buddies at the NSA got my phone taped?
Mom sent me again.
She said she's baby-sitting on hell of those kids.
She wanted to make sure you were all right.
Oh, that's great!
You've always done a good job on doing what your mother asked, haven't you?
Can I at least drive you home?
I've called a taxi,
it's taken care of.
Please?
What exactly are you expecting from me, Darwyn?
One trip to see me in a hospital and magically we're okay?
You know...
I saw something on the tube last night, made me think of you:
the history channel was showing this whole news real footage,
from about 1913.
Before World War I.
Just people.
Regular folks in England, walking by, looking at the camera.
You think even one of those people had any idea,
what was gonna to happen to their world?
When they shot that film, the british Empire
was the world's only superpower.
They won the war in Europe...
but lost the world.
The results of that war
lead to national liberation movement
all across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
You think anyone of those people in that news real footage
thought that there was a chance in hell that the british Empire
would become nothing but a memory, inside their own lifetimes?
You think about that, Darwyn...
the next time you get your marching orders
from good old Uncle Sam.
No, Marcus.
We're done with the truck. You're going to be coloring now.
Excuse me?
Did you just growled at grandma?
Don't take it personnaly. It's just something new he's doing.
For how long is this one going on?
A few weeks.
Things have been a little
tough lately.
It's his way of blowing off the steam.
Marcus.
Stop it!
That sounds like things have been more than
just a little tough.
I try my best but it's just...
Things aren't easy.
Single mom,
college drop out,
bad affair with a black ex-con. How can you expect it to be?
What?
The point is
Ron and I want to help ease the burden.
Wait...
I'm sorry. How the hell do you know about that?
We hired a private investigator.
Marcus, can you go to your room?
But I'm coloring.
Please. Mommy just wanna talk to grandma in private for a minute.
You can take your truck.
You wanna help ease
the burden?
What does that mean exactly?
It means my lawyer says
we can probably win if we petition the court for custody of Marcus.
He says your infidelity gives us a lot of leverage
regarding how fit your are to be a mother.
How fit I am? Are you kidding me?
The only reason why it's infidelity, Judy,
is because your son refuses to sign the divorce papers.
It's not my choice.
Your choice...
is to abandon people when things get tough.
What happens when Marcus makes a mistake when he's older?
You'll throw him away too?
Judy... Your son
was a mean and a reckless drunk and a drug addict!
I didn't leave him. He put himself away
when he crashed into that family.
What's your lawyer gonna say about that, huh?
I guess we'll see.
I thought, maybe... we could handle this civily
but I should have known it was beyond trash like you.
I may die
before I see my son a free man again.
But I'm damn sure gonna live to see his son get the life that he deserves.
So?
No radioactive penetration from the Am-241.
I told you I had exceptional skills.
Excellent.
Sounds like we're ready to pick up a shipment, right?
Truth?
It shielded what we put in there today
but nothing's gonna compare to the real thing.
Mr. Rossman.
You forgot something?
No, I--
I had to leave work early, I was too preocupied.
Anybody else here?
Mrs. Rossman is at spinning and the kids are at day camp.
Those pictures you saw,
they're just...
fantasy, you know that, don't you?
I understand.
There's no red blooded male on the planet that doesn't even draw like that.
Mr. Rossman...
It's fine.
I'm sorry I went into a private area without permission.
It won't happen again.
Good, good.
I was... worried all morning I've had to talk to your agency
and then...
I remembered that your visa is about to expire.
And all the he-said, she-said
would only end up with you deported and I don't want that.
Neither do I.
I wasn't gonna say anything.
I like working here.
We should forget it happened.
Forget that it happened?
Every time I'll see you,
I'll know you think I'm some kind of pervert.
I don't think it's fair for me to be that uncomfortable in my own house.
Maybe you should go.
I don't think you're a pervert.
Did the pictures...
excite you?
Your wife is gonna be home very soon.
I'd hate for her to
walk in on this mess.
All right, all right my wife.
She is very particular.
And you know the way I caught you rummaging around where you don't belong.
I wouldn't be surprised if we found something was missing.
Like those diamond earings of hers that you like so much.
She's gonna have an itchy trigger finger when it comes to calling the cops.
I don't want any trouble.
Then tell me the truth.
Tell me how the pictures excited you.
The pictures excited me.
That's all I wanted to hear.
Take off your shirt.
There's gotta be something you can do!
The FBI doesn't get involved in civilian custody battles.
This isn't our function.
You owe me!
I signed your fucking non disclosure agreement, okay?
I told you stuff about Mina.
She came to my work for Christ's sakes!
And I appreciate how you've cooperated
but it's just not how we use our ressources.
What you need...
is a good lawyer.
I can't afford a good lawyer.
I'm living from paycheck to paycheck.
Please?
I can not lose Marcus.
I can't help you.
I'm sorry.
Wait.
What if I give you what you want?
If I...
watch Darwyn for you?
You know...
ask him questions?
What if I...
spy on him for you?
Like you asked.
Would you make her stop, then?
See, the circumstances have changed.
And it's no longer an issue for us.
Look!
If you make this custody thing go away for good,
I'll tell you Darwyn's secrets.
Whatever you need.
I'm afraid that ship has sailed.
I'm sorry.
Come on.
My wife...
She looks good but
she might as well be sleeping when we make love.
To tell you the truth, I have more fun jerking off than fucking her.
But when she goes to Palm Springs, that won't be a problem.
We'll have lots of time to enjoy ourselves.
Then I've got to see what other tricks you got.
House looks good.
You've done a good job keeping it up.
We had some good times in this house.
- What are those? - They...
I spoke to your doctor about your diet, this is stuff you should be eating.
How much do I owe you?
Pop. Quit, please.
- I'm just trying... - I said, "How much do I owe you?"
You're my father and I'm trying to help. Why do you have to be like that?
Because...
you betrayed me, Darwyn!
Everything I believe, everything I'm about.
And I'm not going to forgive you for it
just because you buy me some sugar-free groceries.
You make all these grand speeches about the black man being victimized
and you've wasted the last 20 years playing a victim.
I'm sorry Pa! I'm sorry
if I chose mum when you two got divorced
but my whole life cannot be about that moment!
I was 10 fucking years old,
I was just a goddam kid!
Don't you dare curse in my house!
It wasn't about that moment.
It's about everything since.
- The army, the FBI... - I chose the army because of you!
I didn't have a choice!
You've got a boss, Darwyn?
A supervisor? What color is he, huh?
Pretty pale, I bet.
How many black agents they even got,
in the FBI?
Come on, be honest.
Your government's war on
terror strategy is a joke anyway.
It's not my strategy, Pa.
But it is my war.
And I'm not just going to avoid it. If I did I woudn't...
I wouldn't be your son.
Look at me, Pa.
Look at me.
In my...
In my past here, when I walked into a room...
Head up,
Shoulders back, that's...
That's me watching you.
My love of history and reading,
came from sitting in that living room, right over there.
You reading to me, until I could read to myself.
Oh God, we lost...
We lost 20 years.
How many more we got left?
If God could see your face right now,
he'd forgive you anything.
Well...
He only forgives you completely if you do something like taking orphans or...
martyr yourself in the battle.
Well, it settles it...
Tomorrow, I'll find you an orphan to take care.
Darwyn...
The shipment...
Does it mean our date is set now?
- What? - Our date, of martyrdom.
This will be over soon, yeah?
Even if I had any information,
you know I couldn't tell you.
Right.
I'm sorry...
I was out of line, I...
It's just that Sumayyah,
the first martyr...
When Al-Mughirah was torturing her,
the prophet, peace be upon Him,
came to her and said :
"Be patient,
"for you have a date set to enter paradise."
And after that,
no matter how hard they beat her, how much she suffered,
she never broke.
And even when Al-Mughirah drove his fear into her, she could focus on that date
and the rest was meaningless.
What's going on?
Did something happened?
It's only for God to know.
No.
No, it's for me to know.
We are at war, Mina.
You don't get the luxury of keeping secrets from me.
If I have a soldier and she's not ready, she's not strong...
I am strong!
I'm a good soldier!
Well, I go without my hijab and grab shoulders with men.
That's why when my boss says he'll have deported if I don't do what he wants...
I do it.
Mina...
What did he make you do?
It's fun, you know.
Before I reverted, it was my job.
I don't even know how many men...
I did it every day for money, drugs, I didn't care.
I'm a muslim woman now.
I'm a wife.
I should have taken a knife and driven it into his infidel heart
but I did not!
'cause I'm a good soldier.
He forced you to have sex with him?
You won't go back.
You quit your job and you will stay here.
No. No, he'll--
He could report me, make up a story, have me arrested...
No, I have to protect the mission, I--
- I have to-- - Mina...
When the...
When the angels
take the souls of those who die and ** they ask:
"In what stake were you?" And the soldier reply: "We were weak,
"oppressed in the land."
And then the angel say :
"Was God's earth not spacious enough for you to go somewhere else?"
This is what the holy Qur'an says, there is no excuse.
There is no excuse for being some place where people are doing evil to you.
If you're able to leave, it is your responsability
as a muslim to do so.
Did Sumayyah leave?
No, she didn't.
Thank you.
For...
For wanting to protect me.
But I have to go back.
Almost come.
You know, first thing I'm gonna do when I come to Sarajevo,
I'm gonna go see a football game.
You like FK Sarajevo?
I haven't been to a game in a long time.
We'll go together, buddy.
I'll take you to Asim Ferhatovic Hase stadium,
together seat, drink very very much...
and and sing "Hase song" for our team.
It'll come back to you just like when you ride a bike.
Ready to go?
Why do I have to wear these clothes?
I like my old clothes.
Well, you can wear your old clothes when you're alone with the family but
but now, this is how you dress when you're in public.
I bought you something.
The holy Qur'an.
You must keep it in a place of respect.
Never put another book on top of it.
And only read it
after your ablution, yeah ?
Thank you.
You'd better put it in your case for safe keeping.
Did you draw these?
Of course, daddy.
It's you, riding your horse.
I want you to come with me.
Sit down.
Asma, you've been very good.
Very brave.
And I have one last thing to ask of you.
I want you to promise me
never to do such drawings again.
Why?
Don't you like them?
How much do you love your father?
- More than anything. - No.
No. You mustn't love anything more than Allah.
"There is no god but God."
These drawings,
they distract you from that truth. To look at them is to worship a false God.
Islam forbids it.
We live on this earth to serve Allah.
There's no one greater. Not me, not your mother, no one.
Allahou Akbar, do you understand?
Yes.
Good.
I want you to take them and throw them into the fire.
Go on.
I'm sorry, daddy.
I thought you'd like them.
- I promise I won't do this again. - Asma,
Allah expects you to be responsible for your prayers,
to know how to be a good Muslim.
You wanna be a true believer like me, don't you?
Yes...
Then show Allah your loyalty
and throw the drawings into the fire.
If you don't do this,
then you're telling Allah that you're a mushrik.
That you're a kafir, that you would rather spend eternity in Hell
that join your parents in Paradise.
But if you won't burn them,
you might as well burn this.
No!
That's what you're telling Allah!
No...
Allah will never forget this
and neither will I.
- Here. - What's this then?
* union cards, we're gonna need them to get in where we're going.
United Jihadees of America!
I'm unionized, bro.
Know what that means?
Only person who can fire my ass is Ben Laden.
This is stupid.
You still got a favor left with the Maravillas?
Maybe, what's up?
I need something.
It's for Mina.
OK, let's stay sharp people,
it's almost over.
Agent Russell, subjects are entering the port facility now.
Ghost teams are in place.
All right, let's keep all our eyes on pier 206.
We're gonna intercept and confiscate the nuclear material
and take down the cell tonight.
Benny, you grab the wheel.
Both of you are staying in the car.
I'll call you if I need you.
All teams, in position!
Here is the special agent Russell,
everyone in place?
Sierra 1, agent Al-Sayeed is covered.
Sierra 2, targets are covered.
This is driver 1, *** is inside, we'll take her down at your order.
OK people,
let's stay alert...
moving on my word.
Can I help you?
- Just picking up a shipment, man. - A shipment?
That sounds very vague.
So many things coming to this port...
Animals, drugs,
people...
You know,
from your picture, I'd thought you'd be taller.
It must be my haircut.
I don't think we've ever had the pleasure...
My name is Kader Bachir Al-Abadi.
I am the shipment you've been waiting for.
Son of a bitch!
Where is the nuclear shit?
Everybody stand down.
Pulling out.
Goddamn it!
It was all about picking up some guy.
Anything else you didn't tell me, Darwyn?
OK, we need to turn a bad situation into a good one.
We need to start gathering evidence so we can identify that unidentified male,
the one that just got off that ship.
I need the coast guards to do a routine boarding of the vessel,
I want a photograph of every crew member,
I want a copy of the ship's manifest,
we need to identify every prior port visited.
If we're lucky, we can identify when and where this fucker got on board.
What are you doing?
Hello?
It's agent Russell.
The situation's changed.
It turns out that ship didn't sail like I thought.
Our case is still active.
Because of that, I'm prepared to take you up on your offer.
Do we have a deal?
Yeah.
Yeah, we have a deal.
