Previously on "Sleeper Cell"...
United States government is releasing
one of the most dangerous terrorist in our custody.
We are extraditing him,
at the request of his government.
The network is ordering me to secure one hundred pounds of RDX.
It's just the most powerful military explosive we have in our arsenal.
Through Benny, we've located a secret stash.
You made me feel alive again.
I need new papers and a way out of Canada.
Tie up any lose ends and be back here tomorrow night.
I'm sorry.
I'm Gayle.
Mina.
Your new friend is one of the targets of our investigation.
You're working with us from here on.
- Baba, listen! - You listen to me.
You will meet Farah.
I am Farah. Like Farah Fawcett. You must be Salim.
The tape praises Bin Safwan's heroism
before announcing that he was killed during the rescue attempt.
Radiation containment facilities.
They're planning a nuclear attack.
You have to find out where the nukes are coming from and intercept them.
Any new intel on Farik?
All the chatter has him dead,
but we're still trying to get confirmation.
I'll believe it when I'll see the body.
I made a request to relocate Gayle and her son
to another city for the duration of this case.
And it was denied.
Gayle is not a bureau asset.
That depends on how you define it.
She was exposed to the cell.
The two of you can't change your pattern now.
If she suddently disappears,
it raises a red flag.
Worrying about her only gets in the way of my job, Russell.
Well, maybe if you stop holding out on me,
and were a little more forthcoming with crucial information,
things might go your way next time.
You're using her to keep me in line.
It's called running the case.
You know I had a buddy in the bureau,
all time a U.C.
One time, he got stuck
working undercover with a...
lame ass,
know-it-all case agent.
Dropped the ball a few times and,
put my buddy in some serious shit, so...
one day he just... fucking lost it.
Threatened to kill his case agent.
Maybe he was joking
but still, you gotta cover your ass.
Until the bureau stepped in and,
made him see a psychiatrist every day, until finally,
the psychiatrist got fed up,
and asked him, why are you so stubborn?
Why can't you give your case agent some respect? And he said,
I'll give him some respect.
When he earns it.
Welcome my brother.
You are truly back from the dead.
We thought we had lost you.
Are all these your children?
My virility is legend, but that would beyond even me.
I host an orphanage here, in my home.
Many are children of parents who have died in the struggle.
And it would be too much collateral damage for the public to digest if
we were attacked.
Charity benefits us all.
Poor host that I am, I hope you'll understand
the Colonel's wish to speak with you at the first opportunity.
And my rudeness at not being able to introduce him by name.
We know how you would like to bath.
But nothing goes still faster than information.
I've been debriefed in far less agreeable surroundings.
Seeing you here,
and now I know who to thank for my freedom.
If any help were given, that would be treason.
And thus will not be further discussed.
How are your injuries?
To be honest, I'm in a lot of pain, but,
they'll heal.
I would be interested to learn how you came to be shot.
Back in Los Angeles.
You mean, how such a perfect plan came to ruin under my command.
All plan are just plans.
They reflect the wishes of man,
not the finality of your God's will.
I had a lot of time to think it over.
A woman, at the fringe of our group, very beautiful.
A lapse of discipline by one of my men
who couldn't stay away from this kaffir whore.
When he quit her as I ordered,
she brought in the local police.
So, you saw the threat and your...
failure to completely tie up loose ends
was, in retrospect, the fatal mistake.
If I had eliminated the whore,
someone would have missed her. I couldn't eliminate all of Los Angeles.
But yet you were supposed to try.
I gave my oath, as a martyr.
If my devotion, or competence is suspect
then send me to Baghdad, give a truck bomb,
and I'll drive it straight into the green zone.
Or better yet, a Shiite neighborhood.
That won't be necessary, my brother.
Your relationships in Chasma are too valuable.
Now, tell me more about that unfortunate day in Los Angeles.
Marching orders.
Mina, you're going shopping.
Salim, I need you to do some overtime at the lighting studio to...
start fabrication immediately,
based on the items
Mina delivers to you.
Hey, what about me Darwyn?
More importantly,
what about our great leader?
What are you gonna do while we tow the way for Jihad?
What I do is I tell you what to do. This isn't a democracy.
We're trying to put an end to that, remember?
Then consider it done,
Darwyn al-Abd
The rest of you, get out!
Now.
I am not your slave.
You misunderstood the Arabic,
It don't mean slave.
It just means black.
I know what it means.
And there's no room in this unit for you questioning my authority.
Especially not,
on the basis of your own
fucking Cockney-Arab racist bullshit.
You got a problem taking orders from a black man, tell me now.
I will put a bullet in your fucking head
and I will find someone to replace you.
You know why?
Because, that,
it's the only way for this operation to go on
and this operation is the only thing that should matter to any of us!
No, I have no problem.
Good.
Abdullah, you're a generous man.
But I am in no mood to celebrate.
What is troubling you?
They broke me, my brother.
It was on the tip of my tongue, to tell them... everything.
To give up all I know about the network here in the kingdom.
You, this house, these children.
It might all be gone, had my rescuer come
half an hour later.
It's pure, pure chance that saved me.
There is no such thing as chance.
You should be strengthened
to receive such a strong
and unmistakable message of intervention on your behalf.
It was not those commandos who rescued you,
It was Allah Himself.
They were but the instruments of His will.
Start with the liver,
you must regain your strength.
These are my nephews.
Latif and Salhan.
They must eat hearty as well
It is a long trip by sea,
from Tehran to Karachi.
These two are gonna make the pick-up?
They can navigate in an ocean of water as well in an ocean of sand.
Just remember,
all that matters is the cargo.
Right in the L.A.X. flight path, baby!
Let's see.
I could do that shit in my sleep.
Hey, you know what?
I bet we can hide the SA18 in the back of one of those.
Rolling on up in here, we'd blend right in.
We cut a hatch in the roof.
We got a clear shot, man.
Nice idea.
It's all about to happen, man.
Our lives are finally gonna mean something.
You know, I remember back in Lompoc,
the librarian gave me the Qur'an to read.
It was like there was a voice in the book
that was talking to me, personally, you know?
That said I wasn't some dumb-ass gangbanger.
That I was a Khalifa.
God's agent on earth.
Except the guy was just...
in this world.
The Gringos and the Jews are the masters
and the blacks and the browns are the slaves.
Justice requires Jihad.
The weak have to take their rights from the strong.
And they need warriors to do it.
Just like you and me, bro.
What's with that mask the mom's wearing?
It's not a mask, Cody.
She just wants privacy is all.
She must be sweating like crazy in those clothes.
They're Muslim, stupid.
They come from a place were it's super hot.
So they don't ever sweat.
Your sister's right, Cody. They are Muslims.
But it's not true that they don't sweat.
That's just silly.
I found them, Mina, I found them.
Are we going on a picnic?
Not today.
Maybe if you're very good...
I'll take both of you with me when the time comes.
Come on.
What's that for, Mina?
It's for you mom's trip to Palm Springs.
It's perfect.
Acetone sprayer.
And the techs tell us it will neutralize the RDX, without
tipping off the explosive chick.
I'll take care of it.
What was... What was that trip today all about at the beach?
Was that just a couple jihadis getting a tan or...
Salim managed to get the SA18 working again.
I got instructions to recon that location for possible attack
on a commercial flight.
Now, how's that jibe with your nuclear scenario?
I don't know yet. Probably coordinated attacks.
- But still no date. - Nothing.
The URLs keep coming,
things are wrapping up, so I'm betting it's soon.
Well, hey, thanks for keeping me in the loop.
It's my job, ain't it?
I'm hope I'm not interrupting.
It's a welcome interruption.
Though it's pretty late.
I'm not stalking you, honest. It's...
Well, you're never home, and...
I was in the area and I saw your bike.
So...
So you're the typical,
H1, visa type,
putting in long hours abroad?
Is that what you're looking for?
A typical guy?
Apparently, it's what my parents are looking for.
You came pressured by these too?
So many calls.
It got even worse once I told them how devout you are.
I broke my parents heart's when I didn't go to med school.
They're both doctors.
You're the answer to their prayers.
When they remember 'em.
So, if we report...
that we tried again
maybe that will at least get them off of our backs.
What do you have in mind?
A soccer game?
That would be cool.
Yes.
But...
I have a different idea.
I am asking Allah
to forgive you
for taking it up the ass from your boyfriend next to you.
Brought me to hear an Imam?
It's not just any Imam.
It's Safir Hamdi.
Million of Muslims watch him from all over the world.
He just relocated to America from overseas.
Thank you.
Many of you know, I'm a medical doctor.
And many of you have supported a very special cause.
The ongoing rebuilding of the Al Chayani children's hospital in Durah,
a mixed surburb of Baghdad.
The disease, violence and bloodshed that afflict our youngsters,
do not recognize sectarian boundaries.
And so the hospital will threat all youngsters
without regard to whether they are Sunni,
or Shiite.
In my vision, the hospital shines as a place where staff from the two sets,
can working and heal together in an effort
to overcome the violence between them.
To emphasize that we are not so different
after all.
When you send your donation to the hospital,
you are really supporting an end
to the shared mental delusion that keeps us apart.
The delusion is called
the narcissism
of minor differences.
This is the hatred
we feel when our neighbors,
are so much like ourselves
but just different enough
that we must hate them.
But if we, Sunni,
and Shiite, work together,
and not blame each others,
then,
we will finally achieve the self respect
that will allow our people to move forward.
What's with you?
You acted like I insulted you somehow by bringing you here.
No, it's not me you're insulting. It's our faith.
You're saying that Hamdi isn't a good Muslim?
Imam?
How long before someone blows up your precious hospital?
They already blew it, once.
Then you should heed the message, idolater.
Why do you call me that? I worship no idols.
Because you invite worship of yourself
at the expense of the words of the Prophet.
Brother, I'm only trying to bring people to God.
These ignorant people venerate you.
Just like your Shiite brothers venerate Ali Al-Hussein over the Shariah.
Over the true word.
I see what this is about.
Your prejudice is showing.
- You need to apologize. - Apologize?
For what?
Because I oppose practices that make prostitutes
of good Muslim women!
You speak of Mut'ah?
I specifically condemn
any form of temporary marriage, especially for money.
But you preach tolerance towards those...
fucking Shiite heretics who promote these practices.
I feel sorry for you brother. I truly do.
A key message in the Qur'an
is that Muslims should not judge others.
They should only improve themselves.
Only God judges.
Do nothing.
How could you say those things to him?
You totally embarrassed me.
I just told the truth.
Oh, you're so full of shit, Salim.
You know what? Fine, fine!
Go, freak out
over Shiite temporary marriage from the seventh century.
You know, if you took that stand a thousand years ago,
it would mean that you were a man of conviction.
Today, all it means is that you're fucking nut.
Now, I see the real you.
The one whose mouth is in the gutter.
The one who isn't... bothered by legalized prostitution.
Why I am not surprised, Farah?
What good Muslim man would ever marry you?
You talk western,
you dress western and I bet you fuck western too!
You'll never know.
Televangelist is a heretic!
And you're a whore!
A gahbah!
I wouldn't take you, if you were the last woman on earth!
It's not too late to change your mind.
We can go pick up Marcus,
put you both on a bus to...
Bakersfield tonight.
Or you hop on a plane anywhere you wanna go.
Your boss said it would be safer if I stayed in town.
He's not my boss.
Whatever, Darwyn.
Just be honest with me.
Does it make things safer?
Yes or no?
Tell me, Aziz, are you gonna stand here all night
with a bag over your head or are you gonna join me for some tea?
Farik?
You're the one who had me kidnapped?
Dragged from my house like a criminal!
Kidnapped?
Someone has given you the wrong impression.
You are a very honored guest.
Come. I'll pour you some tea.
These pittances are insulting.
Tell me:
what makes me such an honored guest?
That we're good friends?
That we both fought against the Russians together?
My nice tie?
- No. - No. Of course not.
It's because I'm an engineer at Chasma.
And my answer is still the same, Farik, even with you asking.
- If it's a question of money. - It's not money.
It's the future of Islam.
If I do what you ask,
if I give you the fuel rods, and you use them,
you've just opened the door for the West to drop a nuclear bomb on Mecca.
You kid yourself, Aziz.
You think their missiles aren't pointed there, now?
Already the Americans and the Zionist dogs have...
began a propaganda for a preemptive strike.
We must strike first.
We must be heard.
You're escalating in the wrong direction, Farik.
And I refuse to be a part of it.
Forgive my limp,
there's a price of having the faith in Allah
to fight in the front lines. Perhaps you remember?
Just because I don't wear a gun to work
does not make me
any less devout.
We also need to strengthen our communities from the inside.
And I am glad I could be of help to make sure you survive to do so.
I will never forget,
that you saved my life in Afghanistan.
But this cannot be how you expect that debt to be paid.
That's it?
Look at us, standing here.
And all the things that have happened to make it so.
I saved your life,
fighting the Soviets so that you could live to work in a nuclear facility.
I endured confinement,
torture,
sent back to my native land for execution,
and survived, and escaped,
so that I could be joined with you at the exact same moment,
your faith has faltered. Now, how could all that be accomplished
by anything else but the will of God?
Tell me...
Is it the will of God
to initiate the death of millions of our own?
Did I tell you, Aziz, that,
I had a daughter born to me since we last saw each other?
Congratulations.
I should extend the same to you.
Children, you know, they are...
they're constant source of worries, especially daughters.
Wondering where they are, if they're safe...
Now, your daughter, she's lovely.
A little on the plump side.
I would keep her away from sweets.
Maybe she should come and visit with us.
I could make sure she gets the proper exercises.
Of course, such a visit, would be strictly at your discretion.
I'm sorry. Did I scare you?
I should have taken the red.
It's too bad, it was a pretty color.
And I wanna get my nails done.
Look, Mina...
it's really great to see you again,
but I'm really busy and...
in fact, I'm...
book solid all day.
I'll wait for you.
Well, I guess I could squeeze you in now.
I haven't done this in ages.
What do you suggest?
Here.
These are quite beautiful.
I like this one.
Tulips.
It's funny you know,
I still feel naked without my wedding ring.
You're married?
I used to be.
Like you.
How do you know that?
I can't tell.
Scientist said that marriage produces physiological changes.
But, I think it goes deeper than that.
What do you mean?
In Islam,
marriage in the human state closest to godliness.
It's a metaphor of unity with God,
expressing our total immerging in the almighty.
Really?
So when your husband gets drunk every night, he takes a swing at you?
What's that a metaphor, for?
Lack of faith.
So you said you were married before.
What happened?
He died.
Sorry.
The other guys in my life up to then, they all...
used me, or abused me,
or cheated on me.
My husband was truly different.
He cared for my soul,
not just my body.
You don't need a Muslim for that.
Maybe.
But the average Muslim man doesn't sleep around.
If he does, he pays for it.
Adulteries are treated very harshly.
Islamic law, specifies "stoning to death".
It seems a bit extreme.
It is... extreme.
But marriage is too important.
My kids will love my new nails.
You're a mom?
Au pair. Nanny.
But you know how it is,
I spend more time with these kids than their parents do.
Now, anytime you'd like to learn more about Islam,
I'm always here.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
Yo, Salim.
This containment room,
walls are pretty thick, huh?
Off hand I'd say six inches or so steel covered with a couple feet of concrete.
And that protects against radiation and shit, right?
There're three kind of radiation.
Alpha, gamma, beta.
This room is designed to handle all three.
Does it protect against... attitude?
Excuse me?
I just wanna know if it protects against attitude.
Because right now, you're emitting a toxic dose, bro.
Are you mocking me?
Because I'm starting to get sick of your jokes and your lack of seriousness.
Come on, man, Jihad can be fun.
- Jihad is not fun! - Hey! Stand down you two.
Your jihad can be fun and yours can be miserable.
Come on dude, what's bugging you?
Is it girls trouble?
If it were,
I would be sure to ask your advice for all the experience you've had
- fucking dirty whores! - Fuck off man, back the fuck off.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I spoke out of turn.
Fuck.
I'm a bloody wreck,
I went this week, and I saw Safir Hamdi, the television imam.
You should have seen all the people in the audience
worshipping that Shiite fucking apologist.
And who knows how many more tune into this guy on cable or satellite
They're diluting the Muslim purity just by watching.
Why should Muslim purity diluted by watching him?
Relax.
Forget about the televangelist. Bigger targets are coming our way.
What the hell...
Close the door.
We need to talk.
Goddamn right we do.
You know, when I agreed to help you out,
I didn't think that Osama Bin Dutch chick
would be able to waltz into my job anytime she goddamn felt like it.
Just relax, okay?
We have this woman under multiple levels of surveillance 24/7.
We can step in at any time.
Now, what I want you to do if she bumps into you again,
is just engage her.
Make some small talk.
But, remember everything she says to you.
Okay? Even the tiniest piece of information that you bring back,
can help this case,
- and Darwyn. - Yeah?
If it were up to Darwyn, I wouldn't even be doing this.
He told you we've had words about this?
He didn't have to.
Okay, he wanted me to go out of town,
but I talked him out of it.
Yes, this isn't the first...
difference of opinion that we've had.
You see, your boyfriend thinks he can do whatever he wants.
But he can't.
You know, I saw what he did before.
I was there.
He saved my son and a lot of other people too, so if I were you
I would trust his instincts.
You know what, I just had a... a thought that might help up both.
Since you're in the picture now,
maybe you wouldn't mind acting as a...
go between.
You know, kinda...
keep the lines open between him and me, and...
just let him talk about the case,
and let me know if anything else comes up.
You mean, spy on Darwyn?
No, not spying on him.
Okay, you misunderstood me.
I didn't misunderstand you.
I'm sorry, does it look like I have,
FBI bitch tattooed on my ass?
The only reason why I got into this was to watch Darwyn's back
and now you want me to go behind his back?
No fucking way!
Get out!
Another dozen bodies were discovered today in Bagdad,
handcuffed and executed,
in a struggle in which two words have become one,
sectarian strife.
This is my life's work to break apart these two worlds
forever.
And to that end,
I'm going to lead a group of my fellow Sunnis to pray Isha
with our brothers Muslims,
at the Shiite mosque,
in Culver city, California, this Friday night.
We will make an example...
for the entire Muslim world,
that reconciliation is possible.
Come on.
Thanks.
Hey, if you gonna bench that kind of weight,
next time, ask for a spot, bro.
Jason.
Sam.
I'm all done here. How about you?
Actually, I got a few more in me, believe it not.
Later.
I've never seen you here before.
I have seen you.
I'm gonna steam.
Call me.
What are you doing here, man?
I... I need to talk to one of your homeboy buddies.
First of all,
they ain't my buddies anymore
second, they might be selective about who they talk to.
I need to buy a gun.
A gun!
What kind of a gun?
The kind of it's not your fucking business.
Yo, it is my fucking business, homes.
This is coming from Darwyn?
No, no it's just...
Y'know, the shit's gonna hit the fan, soon,
and Darwyn's got a gun, so...
I figure I should get one too.
Just in case.
Look, I have no idea what you got yourself into,
but you need to stay focused, man.
If you get caught buying a gun,
you bring down the cops, you can fuck up our operation.
So, you're saying you won't help me?
After everything we've been through
everything we're about to go through?
Look, Salim,
why would I do anything that could blow my best chance
to meeting my seventy two virgins hynas in paradise.
More importantly, why would you?
I think this would be a good choice.
Old West model replica.
Actually shoots 22 caliber blanks
made from forged German steel, not pot metal.
It got a smooth action, like a real gun.
But I heard they're taking it off the market.
True, true. You're getting it just under the wire.
They figured out you can convert the barrel of these things
to work with real bullets.
If you have the right tools.
What you will end up with can't rightly to be called a gun anyway.
It might last fifty rounds, tops before it blows up in hand.
But hey, at sixty nine ninety five with no background check
you can't really complain, can you?
I guess not.
Yeah Benny, what's up?
Did you green light Salim to take somebody out?
No.
He was just here.
Asking me to give him a pistola.
Alright, thanks for the information man, I'll handle it.
You've reached Salim, leave a message.
Fuck!
We got an emergency, Salim gone haywire.
He already tried to acquire a weapon.
He's been right on the fucking edge, man.
We might have to pull him in.
Alright, hang on a second.
Let me just get with the agents
I'll be right back to you, okay?
What do you have?
Salim visited a gun store in Washington boulevard,
but he did not file a firearms application.
He went to the lighting factory, stayed there several hours and he left.
How does he seem to you?
It seems really edgy, man. Something's eating him up from the inside.
Well, I have been staying on MI5's back about Salim,
I finally got some new intel that might be relevant.
It seems he caused quiet the scandal in the London-Iraqi community
over a little love affair that he got into.
Apparently some,
hush money was paid and he was shipped off
to a fundamentalist madrassa in Toronto.
He's just like sending a fucked-up American kid in military school.
These people are ultra conservative.
Can't just get it on with the girl next door, man.
Yeah. Well, in this case, it was "boy" next door.
Tell your guys to get back to me with location
with Salim as soon as possible.
Russell, what do you got for me?
He's at the Shiite mosque in Culver city.
Son of a bitch!
I feel truly welcome here.
As if a great personal quest, has begun
a quest for peace in Islam
Peace within the souls of all of us.
Dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
I ask you to remember,
the words of God,
of the Holy Qur'an.
And hold fast all of you together to the rope of God,
and be not divided in the wrong sense.
Can any commandment will be clearer.
God has asked Muslims
to unite, and not allow themselves to be torn into sects.
And yet that is exactly what we have done.
We call ourselves, Sunni or Shiite,
and in many parts of the world,
Muslims are killing each other,
just over these different labels.
I ask you to think, who of the holy prophets...
...call themselves Sunni or Shiite?
God believe in the angels.
And judgment day.
I will fucking kill you.
I will.
You're about to bring a ton of heat down on the rest of us. Think it through!
The police grab your ass, you ruin the entire operation
and that is the only thing that should matter to you right now.
Killing this heretic is worth it.
I spoke
to some people in brotherhood back in the UK.
I know about what happened.
Before you left London, why your family sent you away, I know everything.
Shoot me...
in the heart and kill my ass.
You can blow Hamdi away, but it will not change you what you are.
The existence,
of different schools of interpretation,
are a blessing and a gift from God.
Not reasons to murder each other.
Can you see, now, how...
You won't tell anyone?
Not unless you screw up again.
That was a close call, tonight.
I tell you that little Salim fucker...
The guy's a closeted psycho.
You know, we might have to bring him in, like you said.
Don't worry about Salim.
I got him under control.
You really stepped out, Russell.
Tonight, you and I,
saved a man's life.
Thanks.
Aziz has done his part,
and a fuel rods are headed for Germany.
But something else has come up.
You old friend, brother Darwyn Al-Hakim
has found his way to our new faithful unit in Los Angeles,
and since the death of brother Khalid,
he has become more than a soldier.
Now, he is the leader of the cell.
So tell me, what do you think of this man?
