The US military presence abroad was rocked today when a bomb exploded...
A bomb exploded in the army barracks in Dharhan, Saudi Arabia.
It ripped the front off the military dorm, exposing just how vulnerable US troops are.
Marines on duty seemed numbed by the horror...
Primary indications suggest this to be the work of Sheik Ahmed Bin Talal...
... a radical fundamentalist cleric...
The explosion appears to be the work of terrorists.
And if that is the case, like all Americans, I am outraged by it.
The cowards who committed this murderous act must not go unpunished.
Sand Leader, this is Eagle Eye.
We have a fix on the package. It is in a Mercedes sedan traveling south.
Comsat One, your coordinates are as follows: One, eight, zero, five, zero.
Package is approaching target area.
Estimated time of contact is approximately 14 seconds.
Let me say again.
America takes care of our own.
Those who did it must not go unpunished.
Eagle Eye, this is Sand Leader. The Sheik is in our custody.
He is alive and well and will be delivered intact by 0800 tomorrow.
Allah.
FBI. Good morning.
FBI. Good morning, sir.
FBI. Counter-Terrorism Task Force.
Hub, that was NYPD.
Brooklyn South just issued a code blue. They think hostages are involved.
- Business or residence? - A bus.
We just got word there's some kind of bomb on the bus.
- They set up a perimeter? - Working on it.
- Got our negotiators on the way out there? - Got it.
- And the bomb squad? - They're going in now.
- How soon can we get there? - This time of day? Maybe tomorrow.
Oh, fuck!
What?!
And nobody's hurt?
This is our first and last warning.
We expect our demand to be met.
There will be no negotiation. No more communication of any kind.
That is all.
Demand for what? You hear any demand?
- Maybe it's a prank. - Some sense of humor.
Here's what I know.
BP as in blue paint.
Voice-altering technology. What d'you think?
Available from the Sharper Image catalogue.
They don't have exploding paint bombs.
- The rhetoric sounds political. Militia? - No, not their style.
- Frank? - Islamic Jihad have no sense of humor.
And Hamas is raising so much money - why queer their deal?
Good point.
And green is the color of Islam, not blue.
Another good point. Tina, get me a composite of the suspects by the end of business today.
- Anita? - Yeah.
- Run that against the mainframe. - Got it.
Mike, lab analysis on the paint.
Not in yet. We're seeing if any blue paint's been sold in quantity.
- Good. Danny, interviews with the victims? - Mm, not great.
Check the bus stops. Maybe somebody saw 'em get on.
Hub, we're eager to give up our weekends on this. I know I am.
It just occurs to me, has anyone committed a crime here?
I mean, assault with a deadly color?
Here's what I don't like.
They know explosives. That's not a big deal, everybody on the Internet does...
...but they know our response time.
They put in a call, then walk. I don't like that.
Sir, you should see this. It just came in on the fax.
"Release him." Release who? Who do we got?
- Bill Clinton! - He didn't do it!
Charlie Manson?
The mosque guy was let go in April.
- Why be so coy? - You think it's a phony?
Hub, it's Floyd Rose.
Somebody's flashing a government badge where they're working on the bus.
Our tech guys wanna know if we're cooperating with any other agencies.
She's looking for the wiring signatures of the device...
...and asking for copies of any fingerprints we've managed to lift.
- She CIA? - Smells like it.
Turns out she's also been talking to some of the passengers.
- Which one is she? - That's her over there by the table.
How you doin'?
Oh, hi there.
Anthony Hubbard, Special Agent in Charge.
Oh, shit. I've tried to liaise with you all day.
- I'm Elise Kraft, National Security Council. - Pleasure. Tried to liaise with me all day?
Have you checked the phone book? We got 14 lines.
Hi. I'm Elise Kraft, National Security Council.
How you doin'? I'm Colin Powell.
- What do you people want with my bus? - We're on the same team, Agent Hubbard.
Who exactly is "we" on this team?
It's never the question that's indiscreet, it's only the answer.
Tell you what. Send me an official inter-agency request for cooperation...
...then I'll give you copies of everything we come up with.
Other than that, I gotta ask you to leave before you contaminate my crime scene.
CIA has no charter to operate domestically, which puts you in violation of federal law.
- Hey! There's no reason to be nasty. - You think I'm being nasty?
If you got something you wanna share with me...
- Well, not yet. But as soon as I do... - You'll let me know?
I tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna ask some of my team-mates to escort you outta here. Is that all right?
- Swell. - Peachy.
Elise?
Thank you.
Is that Elise with an A or an E?
Nice meeting you, too, assistant-Special-Agent-in-Charge Hubbard.
Anthony.
Pin a tail on her.
I'm on it.
You sleep here?
Immigration called.
Underneath the false bottom we found this.
All in small bills, so we figured smurf, right?
And considering yesterday's terrorist alert and where he's been, we called Frank.
Who's trying to score points with his boss!
- Has he broken any laws? - No, sir. He is $20 under the $10,000 limit.
Not any more.
So, Khalil, you're saying this is an inheritance.
Somebody died and you're bringing them the money.
No, no, no. Dhouri.
He means "dowry".
- You expect me to believe... - Check out his neck.
... you brought in $10,000 for a wedding?
The tabac.
Tsss.
Territories.
Dhouri.
- Put him in play. - Where does a guy like you get that money?
He's heading north on the Belt Parkway.
Back home the security services would be up this guy's ass with a poker. We let him go.
- Stay back a little. - It's not my first date.
- He's taking the BQE. Looks like Brooklyn. - BQE, probably Brooklyn.
He's all yours, Ray.
Ray, go softer on him. Pass him off to Patsy. Patsy, watch out for reflections.
OK, you got him.
- Ah, here. Got the judge. - Morning, Judge. How are you?
Yeah, how're things in Second Circuit? Listen, we got a situation here.
Who's he talking to? One second, Judge. Who's he talking to?
- We filming this? Who's he talking to, Frank? - Don't know. If we had sound, we'd know.
Yeah. Yeah, Judge.
No, sir.
No, not yet.
No, not yet, sir, but...
We got reason to b...
Damn it! Mike, back off!
Ah, shit. He's making him.
- Shit! Fuck! - All units, go.
I gotta get back to you, Judge.
Shit!
Go round, go round, Frank!
I got him. I got him.
- There he is. - We got him. Stuyvesant and Throop.
Cut him off!
There he is.
- Cut him off! - Khalil!
Khalil!
All units, we got a red van going east on Stuyvesant, off of Vernon. Red van.
- You get plates on that, Frank? - Plates? No. But you gotta love that move.
No plates.
They found the van, but no prints so far.
- Vehicle ID? - Reported stolen.
- What about hair or fiber? - On its way to the lab.
Hub, we're checking this guy out in the red book right now.
Good job, Mike.
It's Floyd Rose.
Go, Floyd.
You're not gonna believe this. Guess who just showed up?
How's she living, Floyd?
She's got two in the Plymouth, at least three inside...
...and see that dog? He did his business an hour ago and they're still walking.
I had a dog like that once.
- It's not his dog, wet wick. They're spies. - The dog works for the CIA?
- All units report. - This is unit one.
- We're good to go. - Two, roll out.
- Unit three ready. - All right. Let's roll. Let's roll.
Federal agents! Against the fence!
FBI!
Hands behind your head!
Hi, guys. I expect you know the drill.
Hold it right there!
Hello.
Elise.
- I never touched him. - Really?
We'll have to take him into custody anyway. Mike! Frank!
What're you gonna charge him with? Jaywalking?
- I don't suppose I could chat with him first? - I don't think so, Elise.
You know, Hub, uh...
- May I call you Hub? - Yes, you may.
If you guys hadn't blown the surveillance, we'd have been able to follow the money.
- Khalil, you'd have led us to your friends. - What friends?
Take him out.
What friends, Elise?
What have you got for me, huh?
Wanna share something with me, Elise?
Enlighten me. You can tell me now or you can tell me downtown.
You know, one phone call and he's mine. You know the number.
I have about, uh...
You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
Oh, come on!
Hey! Do you know what you're starting here? What kind of shitstorm...
Kidnapping, obstruction of justice, assault.
Get her outta here.
I love what you've done with this place.
So, Elise, you OK back there?
You don't get carsick or anything? Those handcuffs too tight?
Shouf Mountains, right?
- Shiite or Sunni? - Wow! You're really good.
She's really good.
So what's goin' on here, Elise?
- Paint bomb... Was that a warning? - American University of Beirut?
- I was there from '79 to '82. - No shit.
Yeah. My father taught economics. Henry Kraft.
Is there a terrorist cell operating in the city?
You know, such a tragedy. Growing up there was like paradise.
Like an exotic Paris. Right, Frank?
Yeah, it's real exotic at Rikers Island, too.
You know what they do to women in there?
Mm, yum!
OK.
Frank here.
Go.
Three men, definitely armed, and this time they're still on the bus.
- So no communication of any kind? - No, it's weird. They're just... just in there.
See if you can get the frequency of the bus driver's radio and call him.
- Frank? - Yeah.
Get two DAT phones. Make sure they're secure portables.
OK. The negotiator's on his way.
Couple of techies, too, Frank. We want sound!
Sir, there's children on that bus. We count about six.
That gives us something to work with, doesn't it?
Let's go.
Go.
What's happening out there?
Take her outside the perimeter, will you?
They've taken another bus, haven't they?
- Hey, talk to me. - Oh, you wanna talk now!
- Listen, these guys are the real deal. - How do you know?
Is there a terrorist cell operating in Brooklyn?
Yes.
- Was the blue bus a warning? - Yes, and I'm afraid they'll blow this one.
How d'you know, if they haven't blown it already?
- I don't know. - You don't know.
They haven't asked for anything, have they?
The driver's name is Larry Kaiser.
He says they've got explosives strapped to their chests...
...and he thinks they're speaking Arabic.
- Where the hell is the negotiator? - The tunnel's got 20-minute delays.
OK, did he say anything else about the device? Did he talk about cords or buttons?
Uh, no, he didn't say.
Oh...
Oh, God.
They're not here to negotiate.
Meaning?
They were waiting for the cameras. They want everybody watching.
You've got the shooters in place?
- Yeah. So? - Use them.
Kill them now!
Look...
...it's lose-lose any way you play it. You wanna lose little or lose big?
I got the marksmen on the com. They're waiting for a clean shot.
Let me have the phone.
Hello, Larry. It's Agent Hubbard, FBI.
I'm gonna be negotiating our way out of this.
Yes, we got somebody who can translate, but you gotta remain calm.
All right, put them on the phone.
Hello, sir?
My name is Anthony.
Now, I want you to know right from the start, I'm not the boss.
I don't have the authority to negotiate any deals or to respond to any demands.
Do you need anything in there? Any, uh, medical supplies?
Anybody need any help?
I don't even know if they understand.
Look, I know you may not wanna talk to me, but are you willing to listen to me?
Whatever grievances you have, whatever quarrels...
...surely it doesn't involve these children.
I'm asking you, please...
...would you please let the children go?
Please.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate your gesture.
The best way to get what you want is to show yourself to be reasonable, which you've done.
I appreciate that, I really do.
All the way back.
Keep going.
Now we got some more to talk about.
As you can see, I'm unarmed.
I have no weapons.
And what I propose...
...is that you let these people go and I'll take their place.
This way you don't have to worry about pizza deliveries...
...or people running back and forth to the bathroom.
And I guarantee you that the police department, FBI, everybody...
...they'll disappear.
You look out your window, you'll see the helicopters already moving out.
I'm gonna take your silence to mean that you're considering my offer.
I tell you what, why not just let the elderly people go?
These old people have been standing up there for a long time.
Thank you very much. Now, we just...
The worst terrorist bombing in the United States in the past five years...
... took place on this site earlier today.
Beirut came to Brooklyn today...
... when the worst terrorist bombing in the US since Oklahoma City killed over 25 people.
- Authorities are withholding names... - No group has yet taken responsibility.
Authorities are refusing to comment, other than to say the investigation is under way.
All right, everybody take a seat.
ASCACs, supervisors.
Just got off the phone with leaders of the Arab community.
We have their complete support and cooperation.
They love this country as much as we do.
They want these criminals brought to justice as badly as we do.
Having said that, let me say this.
I wanna rumble every trap, hole, market, community centre...
...every organization that has said a bad word about this country, I wanna know about it.
I want you...
...to turn the heat up...
...under every one of your resources. Every one!
Every snitch, twist him inside out.
Every source, turn him upside down, see what falls out of his pocket...
...shake the trees, throw money at him, whatever it takes.
I want results!
Call your families, find a sleeping bag...
...because nobody is leaving until we find a strand to pull on.
I don't wanna see anybody walkin'!
- Hub. - You better be running! What!?
- Uh, Mike. - Yeah?
- You got positive ID? - We don't have positive ID on anyone.
All right, all right.
Oklahoma City.
First 24 hours are the only 24 hours.
Do what you do best.
Tell me about the money.
He says he loves America. He wanted to get away from the security services...
Sure. Tell me about the money.
He didn't know he was doing anything bad.
Tell me about the money!
His cousin introduced him to a man who promised him $200 for his dowry...
...if he took the suitcase to an address in Brooklyn.
He's a mule.
I wanna run down every rental agreement from every landlord in Brooklyn.
Hotels, motels, flophouses.
It's cash. They're the only ones in America using cash.
- We got a positive ID on five victims so far. - Six-man team on him...
I put a lot of money in this joker. It's time he started earning it.
I don't care about any convention...
I want to see all security-cam videos from every nearby ATM, store, bank...
- Time difference between here and Amman? - Seven hours.
This is a plasmogram of the Semtex used in bus 87.
The signature's identical to that used in the army barracks.
- What kind of ident do we have? - Still checking all the latents.
I'm looking for real-time video. I need faces, not voices.
If it's international, it's a $2m reward. I want a list of the next 10 targets.
Call Interpol.
- Foreign matter? - We got some shrapnel.
- We got to run it to the lab, see if it matches. - Does the lab stay open till we find out?
- 24 hours. You busy? - What a fuckin' mess!
Excuse me.
Sir, I got a hit.
I found him.
This is the list of probables.
And that's the hit.
Ali Waziri.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...meet the late, uh, Ali Waziri.
One of the bombers of bus 87.
We were able to trace this sucker to a, uh, group in Ramallah.
That's West Bank, not West Side...
...for you people just joining us from Nebraska. Tina.
We pulled his landing card and his l-94.
So now we know he came in three days ago out of Frankfurt.
What we need now is to fill in the time between his arrival and the incident.
We need all known associations and, most of all, we need an address.
Here's the kicker, guys.
Ali Waziri was on the terrorist watch list.
How'd he get into the country?
Here it is! Student visa. J-1.
- Where's the original? - In his passport.
- Where's that? - In a million pieces.
Where's the copy?
Point of issuance. Could be US Consulate of Tel Aviv, Amman, Cairo.
Every legal attaché we have and every consulate in every city Frank said...
...phone 'em. I want the visa.
- Sir, they need you in the lab. - I want the visa, Danny!
It's cotton. Pure, unadulterated, Egyptian cotton.
- So you're saying they're Egyptian? - No, this is just...
What they use in funerals.
Guy was wearing a shroud.
- The real deal. - Right.
I'm gonna go have a little chat with our new friend.
I thought one phone call and you were outta here.
Well, I didn't make the call.
Why not?
Are you all right?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, a little tinnitus in the ear.
I need to know what I don't know.
Yeah, life's too short.
You hungry?
Are we ordering in?
The funeral shroud is the final step in the ritual of self-purification.
First a fast, then there's the...
The washing of the body and the shroud, right. I saw it - 60 Minutes.
Tell me something I don't know.
In March we identified the man who we believe bombed the army barracks last year.
In August he went to Lebanon, where he was extracted.
Extracted? Extracted by whom?
I see.
His name is Sheik Ahmed Bin Talal.
He's Iraqi. Something of a religious leader.
- With something of a devoted following? - Mm.
OK, I can understand why we wouldn't want to advertise the fact that, uh...
...our government's in the kidnapping business, but why not let us know?
He's still being debriefed. They can't go public.
- What about his followers? - Well, clearly they're committed.
- Meaning? - In this game, the most committed wins.
Hub.
Excuse me. We made the guy in the picture.
My people... The last of the unambivalent smokers.
His name is Samir Nazhde. Teaches Arab Studies at Brooklyn College.
He sponsored Ali Waziri's student visa.
And dig this. His brother blew up a movie theatre in Tel Aviv.
You might consider leaving him alone.
Why would we consider that?
Well, you can play him like a cop and haul him in now and get your arrest...
...or you can tag him and let him lead you to the big fish.
You're fishing and he gets visas for bombers.
- Ever heard of catch and release? - Mm-hm. And he's on the first plane to Tunis.
Hub?
Hub, now's the time.
- Take him down. - Go.
- FBI, freeze! - Hey, hey, hey. Ow!
Ai! Ah!
Samir Nazhde.
My name is Frank Haddad. I'm a federal agent.
We believe you are an accessory in the bombing of bus 87.
Are you crazy?
- You were an associate of Ali Waziri. - Sorry, I know nobody of that name.
You sponsored his student visa.
I sign applications as a matter of course. Hundred of them. Everybody wants to come...
You spent two years in Israeli jails during the intifada.
Yeah, but the only ones who didn't were women like you.
Ai!
Frank.
Sorry. Family matter.
You're going downtown, my friend.
Fuck you! You cannot hold me.
Defrauding the INS is a federal offence.
Reservation for one, please.
- We need a search warrant on Samir. - Samir.
Frank, let me talk to you for a second.
You ever hit a prisoner again, I'll have your badge.
Some day I'll tell you what his people did to my village in '75.
All right. You're preaching to the choir. Just don't do it again.
Now act like I'm capable of saying something funny. Some people are watching.
Hey, Danny. Find me a judge who'll play ball with me this time...
...and set up a polygraph for Samir.
- Why are we still tipping our hand with him? - What's there to tip?
Yeah, what's there to tip? You're protecting your asset, aren't you?
He's your asset, he's working for you. You're his case officer, right?
Sometimes, in addition to being a nationality...
...being a Palestinian is a very lucrative profession.
Meaning he's your Joe, right?
Mine, yours, the Israelis', the Saudis'.
Everybody in the Middle East is sleeping with everybody else.
So you're saying... you sleep around?
Only professionally.
- So we share him. - No.
No? Call INS. Check Samir's status. Start deportation proceedings.
I can't let you do that.
You can't? What precisely is your involvement with these people?
Samir has been an important project of mine for some time.
I'm the only one he'll deal with. He's well-connected and high-strung.
- Call INS, Frank. - How easy is it to get inside, Frank?
How many people you got in Hamas, huh?
- No surveillance. I've seen your deft touch. - Daily reports. We tap his phone.
- I see the transcripts. - No problem.
- I run him. - We share him.
- No. He can't know we're talking. - I won't tell him.
- And no poly? - Never.
Done.
Let him fly, Frank. But I wanna see some food on my plate, understand?
Any more surprises from you, Elise?
Not tonight.
I'm gonna get some sleep.
You let him hit me! How can you let them hit me?!
- Next time don't be such a smartass! - Don't tell me what to do!
Do we have to have this conversation again?
Do we!
I need you to help me.
I need you to be strong, like you've always been strong...
...for both of us.
Samir, look at me.
Look at me.
Go.
Yeah, Frank?
You know, some people just cannot live in the camps.
For my brother, it was already like dying.
The only thing he lives for is movies.
And then some sheik came and tell him that...
...to die for Allah is beautiful.
And if he does this thing, our parents will be taken care of...
...and he will live on in paradise with 70 virgins.
I mean...
...70!
And my brother...
...he need to believe it very much.
So he straps 10 sticks of dynamite to his chest...
...and he went to the movie.
And then I become a VIP.
It's very confusing.
So, who are you afraid of betraying?
We know these people. They bomb, they maim.
They represent the Palestine you wanna build? They're using you.
You are using me, too! Everybody uses the Palestinians.
Hey, you make reports about our little talks?
And what about fucking me?
I had to get special permission for that.
Beats the shit out of cable.
He asked to wait inside.
Morning.
- Bill Devereaux. - I know who you are.
- I was with the 82nd... - Airborne. Yeah, I know.
I was in the 173rd at the time.
- "God, duty, honor, country." Remember? - Mm-hm.
On Capitol Hill or Wall Street, have you heard anyone say that phrase in the last 10 years?
- What brings you to New York, General? - The President's concerned.
He's worried that...
- Have you met the President? - No. I know he's concerned about terrorism.
Well, with all due affection for the man...
...he doesn't know fuck all about the Mid East or terrorism that I don't write for him.
He is an expert in covering his own ass, if you catch my meaning.
Yes, I do.
I guess you didn't come up here just for coffee.
With all due respect, I think we're on the right track.
That's exactly what I told the President.
"Stick with the man on the ground" is what I advised the President.
- I appreciate your support. - As long as you're not chasing your tail.
So what can you tell me about this Sheik Ahmed Bin Talal?
Just that he's old news.
We received two communications from the bombers to release him.
Can't release him.
I know our policy is to never negotiate.
We don't have him.
We never did. Our latest intel says that he's dead.
The Agency says no.
The CIA didn't know the Berlin Wall was coming down until bricks hit 'em.
Ha!
- Who's your source? - Elise Kraft.
Ah... That woman will never understand the Middle East.
Between you and me, she wouldn't know a sheik from a prophylactic by the same name.
Well, I, uh... appreciate the heads-up.
Hub. We followed up that tip on...
Why, Elise, what a nice surprise.
- How are you? - Hello, General.
Nice to see you again.
Please, don't let me interrupt.
Uh, sorry. The tip on the landlord looks solid.
I should get out of your way and let you get back to work.
Agent Hubbard, a pleasure.
- You need anything, you know where we are. - Thank you.
Making new friends?
Not two judges from now, not two hours from now! These guys will split and you've lost...
- Frank's working another warrant. - These guys are pros!
From the age of 12, they've been dodging people better than you.
- You mean people like you? - This isn't about your sparkling record, OK?
OK. It's against the law, Elise.
Just because you got a law degree from night school doesn't make you Sir Thomas More!
- And just because you checked my files... - You'll lose them!
...doesn't make you an expert on me! You think I wanna lose them?
If I don't take them down properly, they're out in two hours.
I don't care if I find Semtex, plutonium, dynamite...
...self-lighting charcoal briquettes.
Without the right warrant, they walk.
They've also got a warrant. A warrant from God! They're ready to die!
- Your quaint laws don't mean shit to them! - My quaint laws!
Last I checked, you were a US citizen. I saw your file, too.
And I'm sorry the Cold War's over and all you little CIA types got no work...
...in Afghanistan, Russia, Iran or whatever the hell it is, but this ain't the Middle East.
Oh, really?
We're in.
It's the same guys as the bus. I know it. What are they saying?
They're discussing how difficult it is to find a decent cup of coffee over here.
- I make out three voices. What have you got? - Seems like three.
If we had microwave, we'd know.
The CIA's got microwave. How come we don't have it?
There are three of them.
All day long they watch TV and eat pizza. Nothing but pizza.
Pizza, pizza, pizza.
Pizza.
Pizza!
You want change or what?
No. Put it on floor.
Haven't you heard? Crime is down 7% in this city.
FBI! Hands in the air! Put your gun down!
FBI! Freeze!
Agh!
- Port! - One up!
- Two up! - Three up! We're clear. We're clear!
- Everybody OK? - We're good.
You all right?
How we doin' over here? Fred?
It's terminal.
Mike?
He's dead.
Elise?
Gone.
Hub, take a look.
It's all here, every component.
Detcord, Semtex. Just like the bus.
We got 'em.
Three men were reported killed today after a shoot-out with the FBI...
... in a quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn.
There are reports of a link between the victims...
... who were reported to be Arab-speaking, and the bombers of bus 87.
FBI spokesman Anthony Hubbard:
Uh, we are following up on as many leads and are confident we're on the right track.
We're all happy that these criminals are off the streets and we can get on with our lives.
Dad!
Yeah!
I think the FBI deserves special recognition...
... for the speed with which they handled this current crisis.
I would especially like to single out Special Agent Tony Hubbard...
... and the men and women of the NYPD/FBI joint counter-terrorism task force...
Drink up, everyone.
My first boyfriend was Palestinian.
My father used to say "They seduce you with their suffering."
