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.
[scoffs]
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!
[laughs]
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.
[speaking Arabic]
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.
[ringing]
You have to get out, now.
Leave nothing.
[cocking gun]
[tires screeching]
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.
[speaking Arabic]
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.
[tires screeching]
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.
[Archer] Come on. Let's go.
It's all right. We're not here for you, fellows.
- I'll take the rooftop. - Okay.
- [thud] - Ohh!
[grunting]
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.
[Man on radio] 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.
[gun cocks]
Say it.
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come...
Ohh.
[grunts]
[door closes]
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.
128 South Randolph.
It was in his file. It didn't occur to me.
I wonder why he let you live.
[laughs softly]
Because I didn't try to beat the crap out of him like you did.
[tires screeching]
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! - [tires screeching]
[whispers] Shit. Push me. Push me!
Let's go!
[tires screeching]
[horn honking]
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.
[police radio chatter]
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.
[speaking Arabic]
- 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.
[sighs] 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. [laughs]
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.
[sighs]
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. [laughs]
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.
[laughs] They want you dead.
[speaking Arabic]
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.
[typing]
[scoffs] Computer's frozen.
[sighs] 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.
[chatter]
[kids yelling] [dogs barking]
[long exhale, praying in Arabic]
[Male Reporter talking indistinctly]
[Archer] 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.
[praying in Arabic]
[speaking Arabic]
[Man] 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.
[speaking Arabic]
Good to see you.
- [speaking Arabic] - Welcome, my friend.
This is going to be a great day.
It's almost time.
[speaking Arabic]
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.
[Man] 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.
[groaning]
[gun cocks]
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?
[chanting softly in Arabic]
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!
[breathing erratically]
Allahu Akbar!
What are you doing?
[all shouting at once]
Who are you?
- Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. - Why are we on the same bus?
What the hell are you doing?
[tires screeching]
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.
[crying]
I put my trust on you.
I thought you were my brother!
Omar.
I am your brother.
They used you, Omar.
They used me, too. All of them.
They used us for our faith.
[metallic clang]
- Drop your weapon! - [men shouting indistinctly]
Omar. Omar!
Hold your fire. Hold your fire!
- Samir? - [groaning]
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?
[sighs]
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.
