The Grid s01e04 Episode Script

[ Maren .]
I need your help.
It's about Youssef Nassariah.
He's dead.
Afghanistan,January '01 .
He staged his own death, and now he's reemerged as the Muhammad responsible for Lagos and the attempted assassination on Jennings and Canary.
We believe that he is currently planning a new attack on oil installations possibly on American and British soil.
How'd you get this? Saudi security.
They've been debriefing Julaidin.
He gave them a list of safe houses that he might be using.
So you know where he might be.
He was your contact back in the mujahadeen.
I shot him trying to steal arms and cash from us.
Got him in the leg, I know that.
I want you on the team that extracts him.
I want control of the team.
Look.
We've butted heads over turf, tactics, and Raza Michaels.
I need you to say all of that is a closed book.
- Done.
- Well, go get him.
Hudson Benoit.
His kidnappers could be Saudi puritan police or friends ofJulaidin in the ministry looking to trade.
Maybe I can do something.
It would be appreciated.
I have another mission in London to replace the one that has been disrupted.
But it requires an operative with your special skill sets.
I'm sorry.
Is there anything that I can do for you or your family? I need you to reconsider how you feel about using sarin if it is carefully directed at the agents of the Egyptian and Saudi governments.
Take the next flight to London.
A brother named Agung will contact you.
We will speak again.
[ Arabic .]
- I thought it was too dangerous to meet.
- It is too dangerous not to.
The FBI has been to my office, and they are all over your dad.
You've got to go covert.
[ Arabic .]
[ knife Clicks .]
[ Air Hissing .]
Yo, Shane.
Hey, it's me Kaz.
Take a look at these.
Safe houses in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.
What's your intuition tell you? It's a strong possibility that's where he is right now.
I concur.
Well, then here's the plan.
We drop a CIA team on the beach, move inland overwhelm Nassariah's men, fast and strong.
I propose an S.
A.
S.
extraction team.
Small and stealthy.
They'll be on top of Nassariah before he knows what's happening.
Is that what you think? Because if you're wrong you'd be sending some good men to the grave.
- You ready for that? - Listen, Emily, Sandman's right.
We go in hard.
If the shooting starts we've got the bigger guns and more of them.
If I know my boy Youssef, he'll fold his hands when he doesn't have the cards.
Unless he sees our hand first.
[ Laughing .]
- That's for coming, man.
- No sweat, bud.
Look, I gotta meet these guys.
Can we swap wheels? Only be for an hour or so.
Well, I'll just help you change the flat on your Caddy.
No, no, I'm up against the clock, man.
I mean, you can take the Caddy.
We'll just hook up later.
- I can take the Caddy? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Okay.
- Awesome.
You're the best, man.
I won't forget this, man.
Take it easy.
Hey, like, come on, you know.
Why don't you tell me what's going on? It's need-to-know basis, my friend, and you don't need to know except that you just helped score one for the good guys.
[ Engine Starts .]
[ Sandman .]
Youssef Nassariah is now 40 and it's likely he's altered his appearance.
We want him alive.
He's suspected of masterminding ongoing terrorist activities in the U.
S.
and U.
k.
We'll zodiac to the Syrian coastal town of Tartous and deploy from the beach there.
MI6 will go overland and stand by the town's back door.
- Mr.
Michaels? - Nassariah speaks fluent English.
He's no martyr.
He's gone to great lengths to stay alive even an elaborate faking of his own death.
He's an accomplished assassin, CIA-trained and competent with a variety of ordnance.
Paranoid and cautious, he only travels at night with a small retinue of highly trusted guards.
Any questions? Good luck.
[ Boys Shouting In Arabic .]
Where are you taking me? What's gonna happen to me? I wanna talk to my embassy.
Your plane leaves in 1 0 minutes.
[ Man On P.
A.
Speaking Arabic .]
Here's the warrant you asked for, Mr.
Moore.
Go ahead.
You won't find nothing.
- Okay, do it.
- Have you spoken with Kaz? He doesn't call me every hour.
This dig he was on, we believe he was actually in Nigeria.
That's not what Kaz says.
At the same time as the terrorist bombing in Lagos.
He wouldn't have anything to do with something like that.
Then help us find him.
Let us talk to him.
Let Kaz clear himself.
That's all we want.
That would really be helping your son.
I don't know where he is.
He took the Caddy.
I think he's seeing some girl.
Describe the car, please.
Champagne color, 2003 Escalade license 4Q9X65.
[ Policeman .]
Get out of the car.
! Step away from the vehicle.
! Get on your knees! Get down! [ Shane .]
Big pile of crap, man.
Come on! ''You's'' guys seen him, right? I mean, there's no way Kaz would be some towel-headed terrorist.
Damn right.
Kaz is one real Caucasian, isn't he? White as rice.
More Caucasian than you and me.
- Say, have you ever heard of Chechnya? - Yeah.
It's them, uh, guys that are fighting them Russians-- - A gang of Muslim terrorists, right? - Yeah, I knew that.
Chechnya is in the Caucasus.
That's were the word ''Caucasian'' came from.
A lot of them are blond, blue-eyed and Muslim.
You've been abetting a terrorist in his plan to kill Americans.
That's called treason.
Wonder what your brothers in the Michigan militia are gonna think about your new friend.
I'm the best chance you got.
You better make me happy.
Okay, look.
Okay, I helped him get some semiautos, right? But Kaz, he never said what he was gonna do with them, right? I just thought that maybe he had something to do with the Michigan militia or something.
Right? But he would never say and then all of sudden the guy phones me, and he's got a flat.
He says, uh, he needs my wheels real urgent, and so-- And I don't know what for, man.
I swear.
Like I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me nothin'-- - Describe your car.
- It's a gray 1 983 El Camino.
Where did you last see Kaz, and which way was he going? - Tell me, damn it! - Okay! [ Cell Phone Ringing .]
- Ulek, it's Kaz.
- [ Whispering .]
Hang on.
[ Ulek .]
We are on schedule.
6:1 5 A.
M.
, portside.
Approximately 5 knots.
Show me.
You're right.
The reading's off the chart.
There's no doubt your Escalade was used to carry explosives.
Have you ever used that car to carry explosives? Come on, Mr.
Moore.
It's time to face the facts.
It's the only way to help Kaz.
You think I can just put him out of my head to say he's already dead and it doesn't matter what happens to him? He's my blood.
I can't.
We need to find him to talk to him.
Anything you can tell us, anything can still help turn this around.
Maybe-- Maybe save his life.
You won't kill him.
Promise me, you won't kill him.
Promise me you won't kill him and I will help you any way I can.
If there's any way, believe me I don't want to kill anyone.
Go to Raffi at Naka Travel Office.
He arranges all those digs.
[ Man Over Radio, Indistinct .]
- We've been given the go-ahead to move.
- Stand by.
[ Man Over Radio .]
Copy that.
- What? - There's nothing more attractive than watching someone do what they do well.
- You think? - Mm-hmm.
I know.
[ Sniffs .]
And how are you with weapons? Standard CIA training.
I know which way to point.
Could you kill him? Muhammad? - I thought that wasn't the point.
- It's not.
And if it were, it would be highly unattractive since killing is not what you do.
This is Red Team leader.
We have eyes on him.
We're at reach point.
Waiting further.
[ Shouts .]
[ Man Shouting .]
Move in! [ Soldier.]
The area is secured, sir.
[ Soldiers Chattering .]
It's not him.
This is Julian 25, come in, over! [ C.
I.
A.
Teamer .]
We're okay.
We got 4 k.
I.
A.
's here.
Emily, go on in now.
[ Speaks Softly .]
All right, team is moving out.
[ Emily .]
Muhammad's gone.
S.
A.
S.
are initiating searches.
I think our efforts are about to be hampered by the locals.
- Raza's found a partially destroyed computer.
- [ Sirens Wailing .]
[ Sandman .]
Syrian units are moving in.
We'll start right away.
Try to smooth things over with the Syrian authorities.
Come on.
Try to get a lead on our friend.
It was a good play.
He'll have to come up for air sometime.
- Dr.
Mutar? - Yes? I'm Agung.
Muhammad's waiting for your call.
- Yes? - [ Muhammad .]
There will be a conference in London.
Saudi and Egyptian officials will meet with representatives of the Western oil interests.
Agung has details on your mission.
He also has a manual.
It will instruct you on the use of sarin.
Good.
Good.
You have my respect.
This is an act of great courage.
[ Raza .]
Are you getting this? Do you see it? A picture of a dog? Yeah, so what? How'd you miss it, Acton? The photo resolution is low because it's a dot matrix.
They can turn those dots into bars like the bar codes used for pricing in store inventory.
Check this out.
It's a steganographic communication.
The Agency has a program called S-DART to break the code.
I loaded a copy onto my laptop before I left.
You traitorous S.
O.
B.
Oh, thanks, Acton.
There's another one in the dog's right eye.
Lake Michigan.
Whoa.
That's great work, Michaels.
I'll put you up for an ''attaboy.
'' - [ Cell Phone Ringing .]
- [ Max .]
Canary.
[ Maren .]
We attempted to extract Muhammad, but didn't get him.
We did recover materials-- maps on the Great Lakes, specs on tankers.
There's hundreds of ships going back and forth Canadian, U.
S.
, more than a few carrying hazardous cargo.
It's a total crap shoot.
[ Arabic .]
- A stranger has appeared at a mosque I go to.
- Shh, shh.
No one has seen him before, but they tell me he's an Egyptian.
Barely speaks to anyone.
He just prays and goes.
I realize how painful the loss of your brother must be, Hamid but I really don't think you should be doing this.
These puritans killed Akil.
Do you think I can just sit at home? What I really think you should be doing is leaving this to the professionals and getting back to your own life.
How can my life exist independently of what happened to my brother? I took a picture of the Egyptian.
It's a good picture, yes? He's the key to a hunch we're playing out.
An Egyptian national.
The picture was taken today in London.
What is he supposed to have done? It's not so much about what he's done it's about what we're frightened he might do.
I'll let you know when I get a response.
- Thanks.
Appreciate it.
- Thank you.
I'll request deployment of AWACS surveillance over the Great Lakes bring in state patrols, and Royal Canadian Mounted Police on board and put out an alert to all the tankers in the area.
You've done well, I see.
Has your government taken a position yet? I appreciate it, Chalib.
Then you've no objection if we speak to the townspeople? Ask him if they paid by check.
It's a check drawn on a Beirut bank on behalf of the Islamic school for boys.
Use our contact in Beirut to find out who's authorized to sign checks and what other property they might rent or own.
I always find it hard winding down.
Are you tired? Yes.
Um, no, no.
Well, I-- I don't sleep very well.
You? No.
So this is the target? ''Quarterly conference of Middle Eastern oil producers and consumers.
George III Hall, Friday, 1 0.
:00 a.
m.
'' [ Call To Prayer Over Loudspeakers .]
Did I wake you? Yep.
But I can't think of a lovelier way to be woken up.
Is everything all right? Mm-hmm.
Everything's fine.
I respect the fact that sleeping with a woman outside of marriage is taboo in your culture, Raza.
Do you think that's what I was praying for for what happened between us last night? - I was praying for guidance.
- About me? About us.
I'm falling in love with you.
What? I'm falling in love with you and I want to find a way to continue to fall in love with you for the foreseeable future.
I'm blinded by you.
Isn't this the way it's supposed to be? In Hollywood and storybooks, yes.
If only life were so easy.
So what do you suggest we do? I only want to be with you but I need some time to resolve some issues.
You've got it but I warn you patience isn't one of my virtues.
This much I've noticed.
Dr.
Raghib Mutar.
This man is a fugitive with suspected terrorist associations.
Well, why weren't we alerted, Sharif? This is the first I've heard of him myself.
Everything you've got on Dr.
Mutar and get it around to us as fast as you can.
Bye-bye.
How are you doing,Jim? Okay.
A bit of trouble sleeping, you know.
First time you've seen a colleague killed? Yes, sir.
The first time's tough.
Every time's tough.
Just spent most of the morning trying to write to Gregor's parents.
I used to be really good at that sort of thing, the official condolences.
In Northern Ireland, I was doing 2 or 3 of them a week, I remember.
For queen and country? - That's what people want to hear.
- I suppose so.
We gotta put this in perspective, you know? I mean, if you take the long-term view then men like Gregor don't die in vain.
Do you really believe that? Most of the time.
Some of the time.
Muhammad's gone.
I'm sure of it.
I'd look toJordan.
[ Maren .]
What makes you think so? There was a school van seen here with Amman identification.
Raza will fill you in.
Four boys were seen with Nassariah.
The kids I spoke with here said Muhammad's boys were dressed like a soccer team but that none could actually play.
- What do you think? - I'm afraid he might be using these kids to place bombs or even as suicide bombers themselves.
Maren, are you there? I'll immediately order wall-to-wall NSA and NRO surveillance and notifyJordanian authorities.
We'll continue this later.
You take care, both of you.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
[ Sighs .]
It is good to see you.
You okay? It took everything I had not to drop to my knees and kiss the ground.
Who took me, and how'd you get me out? Religious police, thug friends ofJulaidin trying to cut him a deal.
- The Agency worked its magic.
- I am so glad to be the hell out of there.
- Thank you.
- You did good, Hud.
Now's your chance to be good.
I'll be good.
I'll be very, very, very good.
Your excellent service for this government has earned you a chance to start over.
What do you mean ''to start over''? I want to know every dirty deal you're into now or in the past.
What's this about? I saved your life.
Now it's time to pay up.
You've changed.
Actually, no, Hud, I've always been this way.
You just never noticed.
I want to know about every illegal contact, every secret meeting.
- You're gonna tell me everything.
- I do that, how do I stay in business? You don't.
Thanks, Louie.
I scheduled a debriefing on your detainment tomorrow morning so you could get some sleep.
I had a big speech about you and me but I have more important things that need my attention, so since we won't be seeing each other for a while, this is good-bye.
Do what's right tomorrow, Hud.
I'd hate to destroy you.
Welcome home.
[ Maren .]
We didn't get Muhammad.
We almost had him, but we let him slip through.
We're running out of time.
Catch him if you can, when you can but the probabilities are against you.
You're telling me not to mistake a skirmish for the war.
I know that but everyone talks about process until something happens.
Civil liberties, gotta have them until a dirty bomb goes off and they want everybody with a 5:00 shadow locked up.
I know this is just a setback which there are and will be many,Jay but you tell that to the people who watch and make the news.
It's true.
The media score card instantly rates every event, every decision.
Everyone from the president on down gets graded personally all day long.
If you ask me, that's the way you run Wall Street, not a great nation.
Your real mission is to put fresh energy in America's response to show the world we are vigorous enough canny enough, to go the distance.
I'm afraid that's above my pay scale.
But you're well-suited for chaos.
Oh, thank you.
You are.
You get calm amid chaos centered, focused.
Probably why you're drawn to it.
Seize the initiative, Maren.
Don't get caught reacting to yesterday.
[ Maren .]
This just came in from the S.
A.
S.
[ Maren .]
This just came in from the S.
A.
S.
They're still recovering data from the computer Raza took from Muhammad's safe house.
What about these limpets, Mark? [ Mark .]
2.
6 pounds, magnet charges, Soviet-made.
They're made to be stuck on the side of the target and then blow a hole through 4 inches of steel.
- Can they sink a ship? - Well, if you had enough, anything that floats.
Langley's decoding has indicated that the plan calls for the limpets to be detonated remotely and simultaneously.
- What frequency? - That we don't know but there's a high frequency scrambler available that could create enough noise to disrupt the signals across the entire radio band.
- Can we get it to Max? - There's a team on the way.
- Emily, Raza, can you hear me? - Yes.
We believe he's going to use limpet charges to blow up a ship on the Great Lakes.
I need Muhammad in the flesh.
He's in control, he knows where.
His safe house was paid for by a boys school.
Some interesting names popped up on their bank records-- Julaidin, and a rich Jordanian named Assad Sabin, 40, same age as Nassariah.
Let me guess.
Which is linked to Nassariah, aka, Muhammad, and the man on Max's list.
I think he has one more target in addition to Britain and the U.
S.
There's a meeting here in Amman, OPEC oil ministers from the Gulf states.
I trust the instincts of those kids I spoke with in Syria.
- Well, I concur.
Go with it.
- We've alerted Jordanian security.
If we find those kids, Nassariah will be close by.
Your instructions on how to wire the timing fuse.
The difficult part will be getting it into the oil conference.
There will be a lot of security.
- You have a plan to deploy the sarin? - Yeah.
I would never talk.
- That's what we all believe.
- [ Door Buzzes .]
Recognize him? You recruited him.
This is what your own people do to the ones who get caught, is it? Knife across the throat.
Left to die alone on a cold concrete floor.
I think you've spent enough time in here.
Come on.
Off you go.
You'll feel right at home here.
Fellow Muslims lookin' after one another.
In you go.
A word of advice.
Don't get hungry.
- [ Pounding On Door .]
- Okay.
! I'll talk.
! He's called Agung.
A Malaysian hit man.
- Go on.
- He owns a motorcycle repair shop under the arches in Hackney.
Don't leave me here.
! Please.
! [ Derek .]
You are completely surrounded by the police.
Come out with your hands in the air! I repeat-- come out with your hands where we can see them.
All clear! This is your final warning.
[ Gunshot Within .]
- [ Line Ringing .]
- [ Woman .]
800 Road Assist.
May I help you, Mr.
Moore? Can you tell me the last time I used the service? Certainly, Mr.
Moore.
It'll just take a moment.
That was 3 days ago, when you locked your keys in the car.
Where exactly? At the intersection of South Lakeshore Drive and EastJackson Drive.
- Thank you.
- Have a nice day, Mr.
Moore.
Chicago.
We've gone through everything.
There are no other bodies.
We found several pounds of plastique and this in the safe.
Two here.
Bashara used 2.
We must assume there's more out there somewhere.
Probably with Dr.
Mutar.
All right, thanks.
Sir, there's a lady who claims to have seen someone driving a white van out of there earlier this morning.
-Just a few minutes before you got here.
- Description? White van.
White all over.
- That's it? - That's it.
- Thanks a lot.
- You know, sometimes I find it really comforting when I have absolutely no idea what to do next.
- [ Door Opens .]
- [ Gun Cocks .]
Tell the crew to drop anchor and meet you down in the engine room.
[ Max .]
kaz must've been scouting his target when he used the 800 Road Assist.
[ Maren .]
Max, coast guard's brought in reenforcements to check every ship coming into Chicago.
[ Man .]
She arrived a few hours ago.
When they didn't dock, we became suspicious.
They've refused all attempts at communication.
What's she carrying? Sulfuric acid.
Chloro-hydrocarbons.
Phosgene.
All toxic.
She's one hellacious cocktail.
We turned away all incoming ships and closed the port to motor traffic.
We have portable booms ready to put in place in case of leaks or discharge.
We don't want them to know we're on to them.
No sirens.
They may have a police band monitor on board, so no police radio traffic.
Yes, hello.
This is Dr.
Manning from the London hospital.
Can I speak to your supervisor, please? Thank you.
Oh, hi.
This is Dr.
Manning.
I'm the physician for Sheik Al Saud.
That's right, yes.
Now, for medical reasons the sheik's diet is being carefully monitored so I wondered if you could give me the details of your catering service so I can go through the ingredients with them? Yeah.
That's lovely.
Thank you very much.
[ Arabic .]
- [ Door Opens .]
- [ Man .]
Excuse me.
Do you mind? Go on.
[ Police Radio Chatter .]
[ Woman .]
There's no sign of a white van or Dr.
Mutar, sir.
This is like trying to find a grain of rice on Blackpool Beach.
We got more of a chance of finding a virgin in Soho.
All right, everybody.
Listen to me.
Pay attention.
All right, we've tried all the Western embassies so now let's try the Middle Eastern embassies.
The Israeli embassy, synagogues, jewish schools, and after that we'll try the headquarters of all the oil companies in the city of London.
They could strike anywhere at any bloody time.
We just gotta keep tryin'.
Let's go.
Despite the surge in violent fundamentalism we see this as an opportunity to further develop the ties between Arab nations and Western corporations.
[ Radio Chatter.]
Of course, there are fundamental inequalities on the ground that must be addressed.
We cannot take the business into the next decade if those in whose communities we operate are rooted in the past.
How we do this is one of the key questions.
Perhaps the key question to which we must address ourselves.
In the coming-- What's going on? [ Woman .]
Sir.
! Sir.
! We're getting reports of food poisoning at the oil conference.
Get a Haz Mat team over there rapid.
And two of our team over there too.
Let's go.
[ Man Over Radio .]
Medical emergency at George III Hall.
Request 3 ambulances and a Haz Mat unit.
[ Siren Wailing .]
Move! Hurry up! This way! Bring it here! - We have several very sick men.
- Show me where they are.
- Thanks for getting here so quickly.
- It's all right.
This way, mate! Straight through there! He ate a piece of pastry and immediately fell over.
They all ate from the same tray.
This is suffering from acute respiratory distress from something he has eaten.
The food must've been poisoned.
They need an antidote immediately.
I don't have the antidote here.
I've got some in my car.
Stay with them.
No food, no water.
Keep their foreheads cool.
I'll be back in a minute.
Don't worry.
They can be saved.
Hey, we got a guy who's stopped breathing.
- I'm just getting the antidote.
- Please, he's dying.
I have to go for the antidote.
I've gotta get to my van, or the others will die.
[ Siren Wailing .]
- Finding the antidote all right? - Yes, mate.
- You need any help? - No, I'm all right.
[ Police Chattering .]
[ Men Coughing .]
[ Coughing .]
Have them clear the buildings.
[ Coughing Continues .]
[ Emily .]
We got the call.
It's from the Excelsior Hotel.
[ Crowd Applauding, Cheering .]
[ Siren Wailing .]
[ Shouting In Arabic .]
- Raza, leave this to the locals.
- They'll kill them.
- If they have to.
Muhammad must be near.
- Go.
I'll monitor this.
[ Man .]
I have a fix on the package.
One male on rooftop holding binoculars dressed in black at 9:00.
Take every precaution, but do not kill him.
[ Dialing .]
[ Dialing Continues .]
- [ Button Beeps .]
- [ Beeps .]
We have him.
The locals captured him, and tied him down.
[ Man .]
Stay down.
! Mr.
Nassariah, we know you have information regarding ongoing terrorist attacks in the U.
S.
and U.
k.
You talk to me now and save yourself.
Put him in the car.
[ Grunting .]
[ Sirens Wailing .]
[ Sobbing .]
[ Man .]
Ms.
Jackson, snipers are in position, CCTVis operational.
Subjects unaware of surveillance.
I ordered deployment of the radio jammers but their range and effectiveness through the metal hull is uncertain.
- What's the situation here? - We believe the crew is being held hostage.
No one showed themselves.
Fire fight's out of the question.
Too easy to blow up the ship and what she's carrying.
The only good news is that the wind is blowing east over the lake, away from the city.
That could change at any moment.
They're probably waiting.
Wind's changing.
Shouldn't be long now.
[ Telephone Ringing .]
Hello? Kaz, is that you? Kaz, what did you do? They say-- They say you are a terrorist.
You're gonna see me on the news tomorrow.
I hope you like it.
It's dedicated to you.
Kaz, if you're in trouble, I can help.
Help me? You abandoned my mother in Chechnya.
The Russians killed her, like they killed all our people! You betrayed me.
You betrayed our country, our faith and you betrayed my mother, and for what? Is this about your mama? I loved your mama.
I begged her to come with us.
But you took me away from her.
When she died, I wanted to die.
Yeah, you wanted to die, but you didn't die.
You-- You lived! You lived with your cars and your-- your money and your American whores.
Is it-- Is it worth it? Is it worth your honor? Your soul? I did what I did so I could make better life for you.
What better life? What, to be what you're not? To want what you can never have? Don't you get it? I hate your life! I hate everything about it! You hate me so much you want me to die? Stop what you are doing, and I kill myself.
I swear.
Just, please, do me one favor.
Stop what you are doing and come home.
Bye, Dad.
What, uh-- What happens to us? I got a gunshot.
Just one.
- Didn't hear a ricochet or a metal hit.
- We have to move now, Maren.
Anyone tries to leave, we'll kill you.
I'm patching Emily Tuthill in from Amman.
Raza's dead.
How? He was killed trying to disarm one of Muhammad's suicide bombers.
- Muhammad? - We have him in custody.
- Is he talking? - No, not yet.
His operatives are holding a tanker full of toxic chemicals, Emily.
We have to know how they plan to detonate.
When he was taken, he had 3 cell phones.
It's likely he used one of them to detonate the bomb on the child Raza was trying to save.
You have to get onto this.
You have to get onto this.
Could they use a cell phone to set off the limpets? Yes.
Think beeper-- all set to the same number.
Kaz doesn't need a transmitter strong enough to penetrate the ship's hull.
He'll use the power of our own cellular phone grid.
What's it gonna take to turn off the entire cell network? They can't do it on your authorization.
- You're gonna need a bigger stick.
- Mark, did you get this? - Affirmative.
- I need authorization to suspend cell service for the entire city of Chicago.
- I need it now.
- I'll have to wake him.
Do it, Mark.
Whatever the answer is, one way or the other, you move on the ship.
Got it.
Use pepper spray, mace - anything to avoid firing guns except as a last resort.
- Yes, sir.
[ Wind Howling .]
[ Telephone Buzzing .]
Maren, pick up the phone.
Yes, Mr.
President.
It is definitely a clear and present danger.
No.
There's no time for confirmation.
Yes, sir.
It's a gut call.
The cell grid will be shut down by presidential order.
[ Man Over Radio .]
They've dropped the ladder.
They're on the move.
Pray Allah doesn't change the wind on us.
Go, go, go, go.
[ Man .]
On the screen here, the grid's going down.
Damn.
There's no signal! Get back up here.
We've gotta set the charges manually.
Help me pull this up so they won't board.
[ Max .]
Don't let them pull up the ladder.
Take the shot.
! Take the shot.
! It came from down below.
You guys go around! - Santis, you're with me! - Yes, sir.
Kaz, stop! I don't wanna hurt you.
Shoot only if you have to.
Don't worry about saving my ass.
You hear me? Shoot only if you have to.
Kaz, we're not gonna let you set that off.
Don't do this, Kaz.
I spoke to your father, Kaz.
He doesn't want you to do this.
Come on, Kaz, think.
Think about your father.
Think about standing up here.
Put the weapon down, Kaz! Don't do this, Kaz! [ Groans .]
[ Coughing .]
- Shoot him.
- [ Arabic .]
[ Groaning .]
[ Santis On Radio .]
The situation is secured.
The weapons have been taken off-line.
The assailants are dead.
- Max? - He took a bullet.
I'll be okay.
- Are you sure, Max? - I just-- I just promised his father I'd take him alive.
You understand they're going to make your life extremely unpleasant unless you cooperate.
My life has always been unpleasant.
Death will be a release.
Oh, you think you're going to heaven to be with your virgin brides? Not literally, of course.
You've had more than one chance to martyr yourself.
Yet, you're still here.
Why is that, I wonder? The truth is you want to live.
And the reality is your life is in my hands.
So you talk to me now or they'll go to work on your mind with drugs.
You'll be drooling every dark secret in that filthy head of yours.
- I only answer to Allah.
- Allah? You think Allah is interested in a criminal like you? Allah can't save you from the hell on earth they will create for you with loving care.
Your hands tremble.
I'm your prisoner.
What's to fear? It's not fear.
It's rage.
- Rage is power.
- I want to kill you, yeah.
I want to see you suffer.
That I know you understand.
What you don't know is that my rage makes me feel weak.
Weak and helpless, like you.
You loved him, your Arab man.
Your schoolgirl crush makes you weak.
Stop the car.
- That's not a good idea, ma'am.
- I said stop the bloody car! Are you ready to die? You better be and when you meet Allah, you tell him your rage destroyed you.
You tell him it destroyed me too.

Two men are dead tonight in what the FBI describes as an unsuccessful attempt by terrorists to sabotage a tanker containing toxic chemicals in the port of Chicago.
[ Man Speaking Arabic .]
Hamid.
Mr.
Jennings.
Hope you don't mind me asking to see you one last time.
No, not at all.
I'm just glad I got the opportunity to thank you.
What I did, I did for myself and my brother.
And the consequences were far more widespread than that.
You've been a credit to your community and your country.
Please, accept this as a token of my respect and appreciation for what you tried to do for Akil.
No one could have tried harder for their brother than you did.
It wasn't enough.
You know, I believe we each choose our own path in life.
Even with you as an example Akil was tempted elsewhere.
He could've resisted that temptation if he'd wanted to but he didn't.
Does that seem a bit harsh? Very Christian.
- It was Akil's.
- Yeah, I remember.
Hang it up in your home, and it will protect you.
Not only is it pretty, it is also more lightweight than a gun.
I don't know what to say.
Then allow me.
Salaam alaikum, Derek.
Salaam alaikum, Hamid.
- [ Sarah .]
This is final? - [ Emily .]
For now.
- This war isn't over.
- Yes, I know.
I won't beg you or wave the flag.
I know you too well for that.
May I ask why? I'm not sure I can say.
What we do, what I did, comes from a place of fear.
I watered my fear, tended it like a plant.
And it grew tendrils of anger and hate and rage inside me.
And then I fell in love with Raza.
Unexpectedly.
A ''schoolgirl crush.
'' I wanted to kill Muhammad.
I could have killed him.
The tendrils of hatred had grown like a vine around my heart.
And it made me feel like him as if I'd become him.
And that horrified me.
Because I know there's something else.
I hope you find some kind of happiness, Emily.
Well, I'm not aiming that high.
[ Sports Game Playing On TV.]
- Mmm.
- [ Chuckles .]
You want some Gummi Bears with your M&M's and marshmallows? I want what you want.
[ Laughs .]
- What I want, that's what you want? - Mm-hmm.
- Anything? - Anything.
Well, I definitely want Gummi Bears.
Happy? Mm-hmm.
You don't look happy.
This is just what happy looks like these days.
Sad? Grateful.
Thankful too, but-- but sad.
It's-- What? What is it, Max? All I need is one thing.
One good thing.
And that's you.
I love you so much.
[ Eddie .]
Max.
! - Max, come in here! - What's happening? - We're winning.
We're winning.
- Look at those wrists, little man.
Those are Larry Bird wrists.
- You know how Larry Bird got strong wrists like that? - He uses a fork? That's right.
Mm.
This guy is good.
He's no Larry Bird.
[ Cheering .]
Did you see that? - Oh, my God! That was like half-court! - That was awesome! [ Training Officer .]

[ Maren .]
When I was a little girl, I used to dream about being in the White House.
And here you are.
Yeah.
Except-- What? [ Whispering .]
I was the president.
[ Chuckles .]
I wouldn't be here without you,Jay.
How do you feel? Proud.
Scared.
Scared of? The usual.
Letting myself down, letting you down.
Letting the world down.
They say that power corrupts.
But what I've learned is that when people get power all it does is allow them to be who they are.
So, if they're a good person, they become better.
- If not-- - So it's all on me then? Just the way you like it.
They're ready for you.
Do you swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States? - I do.
- And protect your country from all enemies - foreign and domestic? - I do.
I would now like to officially introduce the new special assistant to the president for national security, Maren Jackson.
