Sleeper Cell s01e07 Episode Script

Previously on "sleeper cell" I'm abdullah habib.
Everyone calls me bobby.
One of us is a traitor.
Aah! I'm in fucking awe of what you're putting yourself through.
Whatever I got to do to back you up, you consider it done.
The major's grave.
Phosgene -- In the wrong hands, that's a hell of a fuckin' weapon.
In that warehouse is something much bigger than 100 gallons of phosgene.
You really, really want to make it up to me? Her husband is dead, ray.
Is that what she told you? Her husband is serving a 20-year sentence in san quentin for vehicular manslaughter and drug trafficking.
The dogs we'll target next have two legs instead of four.
They were able to trace calls to both new york city and washington, D.
C.
Two more cells.
Vamos, vamos! I've been leaving you message after message.
How pathetic can you make me? My mistake, thinking we were good again.
'Cause every time I do, you disappear.
Listen, gayle -- no, what? Lay it on me.
I believed every other lie.
What is it this time? Another job interview? You get thrown back in jail? What? I know about your husband.
I know he's still alive, and I know that you're still married.
Who -- who told you that? Couple of friends from the pen did time with him at pelican bay.
Word gets around, you know? So you just figured, "fuck you.
I'm done"? You didn't think I'd have an explanation? You know, you're the last person who should be judging me.
Gayle, you're still married.
In islam, adultery is a sin that's punishable by death.
Oh, now you're all about being a good muslim? What religion are you when you're fucking me, huh? Don't put it on me.
You're the one that lied.
I am not a l-- I didn't lie to you.
He went on one of his shit-faced benders.
That's true.
He killed a family on the 405.
That's true.
So he survived, but he's dead to me.
He's in for 20 years, at least.
The only reason why I haven't divorced him is because his lawyer keeps stalling.
I tell my son that his dad is dead because I can't bear to tell him what really happened.
He's too young to understand, anyway.
You lie to your son about it, too? You never lied about anything in your entire life? Not if I can help it.
Uh-huh.
You disappear for days and you don't tell me why.
Isn't that the same as lying? There's something going on with you, darwyn.
Why won't you trust me? I told you my life is complicated, gayle.
Fuck you.
- I told you.
- Fuck you.
I tell you about the worst thing that's ever happened to me, and you still want to keep secrets? At least I'm trying here, darwyn.
When are you gonna start? Look, I really got to get back to work, okay? If you walk away from me, I swear it's over.
I got nothing left.
Please? Ilija has been calculating the results of our test.
Our double wrap of det cord with a full stick of tnt chaser was able to propel We were, however, aided by a small head wind of seven miles per hour.
Naturally the human nervous system is different from a dog, but I didn't think I could spare any of you for the test.
Now, you have the weekend to acquire the materials listed for you.
At the bottom of your instructions is a part of a numbered passcode.
When you have completed your task, gather back here around the computer and enter all four parts of the passcode into a locked document called "payroll.
" The document will give you further instruction.
I trust you not to open it before then.
Take the van.
You won't be able to transport what you need by taking the bus.
You don't need it? I'm taking the weekend off.
Darwyn, what's up? Ray, farik said he's taking the weekend off.
He might be breaking pattern.
We have to stick with him.
All right? I'm on it.
Yes.
No, no, no, I want it plain.
No paint, no trim.
Do you have one available? Can I pick it up within 24 hours? No, that's not a problem.
I can pay cash.
Yeah.
Hold on one second, please.
Christian aumont? Yes, what is it? Yeah, I got a package for you.
Sign right there.
Uh, okay, I'll come by later to check it out, okay? Thank you.
Merde! It's a plotter -- large format printer.
That's right.
How do you know? I worked in a graphic-art house one summer when I was in high school back in berkeley.
I really hit the jackpot -- this place in the valley.
Paint sprayers, heat lamps, buffers, sanders.
Do you have any idea what all this stuff is for? Maybe we're going to do an all-jihad episode of "monster garage.
" What the fuck? Check this out, man.
Who the fuck is that? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Zoom in, zoom in.
Hello? Darwyn, it's tommy.
Listen, we've got a threat level orange.
In english, mr.
Homeland security.
We've got a situation, man.
How soon can you meet us at the china café? Give me 20.
I'm across town.
Still no christian.
Left another message.
Maybe farik sent him deep undercover or something.
More likely he's with another of his cheap whores.
He switches off his ringer when he's getting laid.
Okay, but now that christian is not showing up, you guys want to tell me who this kid is? He's khashul.
He's from afghanistan.
He came by today, looking for ken.
Kenneth bin al-waleed, great man.
You are his friends? We used to work with kenneth.
But he died a few weeks ago in a struggle.
You continue his operation? Why do you want to know? I come to fight jihad in los angeles.
Aren't you a little young to be jihading? I am 17.
I fight in kandahar since 12.
I know automatic -- shh! Semiautomatic, rpg.
I speak very good english.
Spanish, too.
My teachers, they say I look like mexican.
CoÑo de tu madre.
"God damn your mother to hell," huh? That's pretty good.
This why they send me here.
I look like infidel.
Please let me help you.
This my destiny.
If you want to blend in with the infidels, your destiny right now is go in the back and wash up.
So, what do you think? We might be able to use some extra help.
Are you crazy? First kid off the street with a good story and you want to give him the keys to the kingdom.
You think he's fbi? Tommy, he's barely past puberty.
He's an unknown factor and a potential liability.
And whoever he is, he knows too much for his own good and ours.
Wait.
Why don't we just wait until farik gets back? Maybe he needs a fake mexican kid to walk into union station with a backpack full of dynamite.
What are we gonna do with him in the meantime, though? I'll take him.
Mine.
Checking in? Yeah -- Ferrone.
Carlo.
Ah, yes, mr.
Ferrone.
Buona sera.
Are you from italy? Yeah -- little italy.
A new yorker.
I love the big apple.
Don't we all.
Do you like american television? Yes, I like.
It's forbidden.
In afghanistan, if muslim woman dressed that way my sheikh in kandahar give to me to stab in the heart of the infidel.
He old-fashioned.
Your sheikh in kandahar make you wear a 3-piece suit, too? What you mean? The cuffs, the leg chains, the metal belt.
They make you wear that in training camp? Yeah.
The only place they slap that on you is in prison.
And the only prison where they'd do that to a kid like you is guantanamo bay.
But you forgot to mention that, didn't you? What did you do? What did you do to get shipped off to gitmo? I did nothing.
Yes, you did! You keep lying! Please, darwyn, I can explain.
I did nothing.
Please.
Let go.
Easy.
My father, brothers, and we used to raise goat for milk in afghanistan.
We know nothing about america.
We did not care.
Then U.
S.
, They come to attack.
They come to the towns.
They want taliban.
They will give money for taliban.
A man in town, he -- he don't like my father.
He want our house.
He want money.
So he says to americans, "we're taliban.
We al qaeda.
" We are not.
Americans, they come, take my father, take my brothers, take me.
We don't speak english.
They don't speak pashto.
We say nothing.
They take us to kandahar.
I'm in prison for two weeks, three weeks.
I don't know.
Every day a man come in.
He ask questions.
"Where is mullah omar? Where is bin laden?" I say, "I know nothing.
I'm not al qaeda.
" They put me in airplane, sent me to a hot, sticky place near the sea.
They call it gitmo.
There, they ask more questions.
A man comes in -- sergeant walker from santa monica, california, usa.
He say he my friend.
He tells me, "tell us who is bin laden.
Tell us who is al qaeda.
" I say, "I know nothing.
" They put me in 3-piece suit, throw me in solitary for sometimes three day, four day.
I meet other prisoners.
They teach me arabic, teach me english.
But mostly I learn to hate americans.
These are people with no god.
I was at gitmo three years.
Then they say I'm no good for them.
They send me back to afghanistan.
When I go back there is no house.
My father gone, my mother gone, my brothers -- all gone.
They call this giving me back my freedom? There was a new mosque in town.
The sheikh there says to me, "come.
Stay with me.
" He was taliban.
He teach me fight for islam.
Please, darwyn, do not tell I was at gitmo.
What do you got? Farik's in vegas.
Spent about $200 on a tasting menu at le cirque.
So far, that's about it.
Nothing.
Hmm.
No, there's got to be something.
Farik's not the type just to go on vacation, leave us all running around.
Hmm.
So, uh, there's something else.
Farik left us a computer and gave us all an input code to get information off of it for our next assignment.
Is there any chance that we could get in there and do a sneak-and-peek, clone the hard drive? I don't know, man -- knowing farik, there's some sort of alarm or surveillance on the thing.
It might be too risky.
Sowho's the kid? New recruit? Don't know yet.
Just keeping him at my place till he talks.
If I get anything, I'll let you know.
Well, I'll run his pictures at the database, see what we come up with.
Has he got a name? Just khashul.
Nothing else.
Far as we know, that could be an alias, you know? All right.
You see how smart farik is, don't you? No, bec-- no.
Because he rented all of the rooms next to his.
We absolutely cannot afford to risk taking a burn here.
You're gonna have to monitor the hallway outside the room, and I need you to I.
D.
Every unidentified person that comes into contact with farik.
I'm gonna need your best surveillance ops people because they're gonna have to be prepared to follow whoever comes in contact with the target all the way to togoland if that's where they're headed.
If that happens, I'll get diaz to cover your travel expenses out of L.
A.
Undercover case.
Thanks, drew.
Keep me informed.
Keep away from the blackjack tables.
Who was that? Uh, drew werner, vegas.
Don't worry.
I'm off this weekend, remember? Yeah, I remember.
Do you? Dad? All right, boys, what's it gonna be? Backflip! Cannonball! Whoo-hoo-hoo! Sea monster! Brother abbas.
Brother farik.
How was your flight? Delightful.
The first-class lounge at jfk knows how to make the best virgin martinis.
Brother abbas.
Brother yusef.
So, how are things in your city? Things are going according to plan.
My people are working as we speak.
And you? We are ready -- just waiting for the final instructions.
Mexico! Hey, it's 1-0, france, assholes! You can stop singing! Mexico! Shit! Pass the ball! Pass -- pass the ball! Dude, dude.
Hey, what's up? Why haven't you been answering your phone, man? What if farik needed you? If farik called, I would have picked up.
How did you find me? I've been to every sports bar on the west side that was playing mexico-france.
Where else would you be? Farik's teaching you well.
Have a drink, man! We're winning! How long have you been drinking? Since I got the mail yesterday.
My wife wants a divorce.
Bitch sent back her dowry check.
I thought I would use it to celebrate.
Listen, man, I'm sorry about your wife.
I am, okay? But farik's got jobs for us, and if we don't get them done, we're fucked.
Relax, okay? I got the truck.
It's parked out front.
You bought the truck drunk? Goal! Bad goal! You got a problem?! Hey, hey, no! Fuck you! Let's go! Come on! Fuck.
I'm boxed in.
Give me the keys to your truck.
What the fuck are you doing? There are women here.
In the time of the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam, men and women went to mosque together.
He encouraged it.
We're doing what he originally intended.
Hey, leena.
As-salaam alaikum.
Wa-alaikum as-salaam.
This is khashul.
He's a friend of mine.
As-salaam alaikum, khashul.
As-salaam alaikum, darwyn.
As-salaam alaikum.
Hi.
I'm rana.
Well, we're very happy to have you here for the zikr.
Are you sufi? This is all a part of islam, man.
It's about gaining strength from your fellow muslims so that you can act as a servant of god.
La ilaha illallah Mommy's going out with aunt cathy tonight.
I'll be back in a couple hours.
Maria's gonna take you to the ice-cream parlor and buy you anything you want, okay? Okay.
Bye, sweetie.
I'll have my cell on if you need me.
Bye.
Hey, cath, I'm on my way.
Let's get hammered.
Maybe I should drive.
Maybe you should shut up, man.
You've been drinking for 24 hours.
But I'm still a better driver fucked up than you are sober.
Here, watch.
Hey, hey, hey! What the fuck are you doing?! God damn it! Fuck! Oh, shit! Floor it! We can lose this fucker! Just shut the fuck up! You understand me?! Okay?! I'm not fucking listening to you anymore! Put your fucking seat belt on.
I don't even have a license to drive this fuckin' thing yet.
Should've let me drive.
Shit! Just don't talk.
Okay, okay.
I apologize, officer.
My friend just bought the truck today, actually.
We got the papers right here.
Um, he thought he'd celebrate by getting drunk -- not smart, I know so -- I thought it'd be better if I drove him home.
You got a class "a" driver's license? Um, I've got an instructional permit.
I'm taking classes at valley trucking.
That's not good enough.
You can't be driving this truck.
Well, my friend here, he's a licensed class "a" operator.
Y-yes, I am.
So, technically, I'm okay to drive as long as he's in the car, right? Your friend is shit-faced.
He certainly is.
But, um, I actually checked in my california driver's manual.
It says your accompanying driver must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid california driver's license, but there's nothing in there about what kind of condition he has to be in.
Well, common sense ought to tell you he should be sober.
I know, I know.
Believe me, I wish he was sober, too.
It was either this or let him drive home drunk, you know? Listen, he just lives a couple of blocks away, man.
I'm sorry about the lane changes.
I just -- I'm not quite used to the air brakes.
Listen, man, being a truck driver is what I've always wanted to do since I was a kid.
My old man was a truck driver.
I need to get this license.
I'd hate to screw the whole thing up just 'cause I'm trying to do the right thing for my buddy.
Write him a ticket.
He deserves it.
All right.
Stay in the right lane and don't go above 20.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
You're lucky you've got yourself a friend like this.
I know.
What'd you think? Khashul it was a pleasure meeting you.
Would you come back soon? Yes, we'll come back.
Good.
Go in peace, khashul.
Bye.
Bye.
Come on, man.
So, you made some friends, huh? She look like yasmin.
Who's yasmin? A girl from my town.
Oh, yeah? She was very pretty and honorable.
But it's been a long time.
Four years.
I do not even know if she alive.
If you're not too busy meeting girls, I have something for you.
The qu'ran.
In pashto, so you can finally read it for yourself.
See how it compares to what your sheikh told you.
Thank you.
Darwyn, you show me so much in one day.
My sheikh never said a word about these things.
Thank you.
Khashul, don't let anyone tell you what's in the qu'ran.
You read it for yourself and decide what it means to you, man.
And then maybe -- just maybe -- you can teach me a thing or two.
Okay.
Let's cross.
Open for business.
no, all of you.
Men.
You all suck.
Come on, you don't mean that.
What about your dad? Skipped out when I was 2.
Sorry.
He left my mom with two kids and no skills.
See? Assholes -- all of you.
Your mom probably didn't think so.
No, of course not.
She fell in love with every jerk-off she brought home.
I swore I'd never do that.
What -- fall in love or bring guys home? Both, if I can help it.
But that's what the bar is for, isn't it? No strings.
Really? I thought I was just here for the brews.
Not the company? Well I think they kind of go hand in hand.
See every drink I buy you, I get to look at you a little bit longer.
Buy you one drink, get 15 minutes.
Buy you two, I get a half-hour.
Then you start drinking a little slower.
The third gets me an hour.
The fourth, maybe an hour and a half.
And the fifth? Then I get you all night long.
Hey.
Hi, cath, yeah.
No.
It's all right.
No, shit happens.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be fine.
Surprise.
Darwyn, we're ready.
This is what you were looking for tonight, isn't it, baby? You like that big cock? Yeah.
Yeah? Tell me how much you like my big cock.
Come on.
Did you order some champagne? If you wanted another girl, we could've brought a friend.
Mr.
Ferrone, you ordered room service? Yeah, thank you.
Beluga, sevruga, osetra, blinis with crème fraîche, and a perrier.
Thank you.
What the fuck? Your friend don't like girls? I prefer expensive food to overpriced whores.
That way, I know what I'm getting.
No offense.
Fucking asshole.
What's the truck for? We're about to find out.
You got your passcode? Yeah.
Holy shit.
Farik wants us to finish it this weekend.
We have 24 hours.
Don't expect to sleep.
Where's the kid? Asleep at my place.
He's not going anywhere.
Excuse me.
Are you gayle bishop? Who's asking? My name is ahmad habib.
Your babysitter said you were out, so I decided to wait.
I believe you know my cousin abdullah.
Bobby -- bobby habib, right? Yes -- bobby.
He and nadia don't live here anymore.
They moved out a couple months ago.
Do you know where they went? Uh, no.
They didn't tell you? No, we haven't heard from them since then.
I flew here from egypt to check on him.
UmI wish I knew more, but, umthey left without saying goodbye.
I wonder if I may ask you, did bobby ever mention anything about a great celebration? Uh, the only thing I can think of is the birthday party for reza.
No.
That's not what I'm talking about.
The last time we saw my cousin, he was talking to my father in cairo, and he was boasting about this great celebration, where the guest would bring down the guesthouse and where there would be lots of fireworks.
He was speaking about bombs.
No.
No, that's impossible.
Bobby would never be involved in that type of thing.
I don't think so, either.
But if your homeland security overheard him boasting about such things, even though it was only idle talk, they would not hesitate in dragging him away.
And his wife and daughter, too? We've heard worse things.
Part of me prays that's what happened.
If so, we hire a lawyer, and then we have a fighting chance.
But if my cousin had any contact with real terrorists, whether he knew or not, then -- then he'd be in worse trouble.
Do you know any of his friends? are any of them extremists or criminals? No, I-I didn't know his friends very well.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I did not mean to frighten you.
I just want to find my cousin.
Here's the phone number of the hotel I'm staying at and my e-mail address, too.
Please call me if you hear anything or if you see anything suspicious going around his apartment.
So, I'm gonna go check on khashul.
I got the heat lamps going, and the paint should be dry in a couple hours.
Yeah, okay.
Call me if you need anything.
Hey.
You've lost weight.
Well, that's 'cause you're not cooking for me anymore.
You still working at the bureau? Yeah.
But that's all you can say about it.
Right.
You still at the state department? Now that condi's in charge, I'm never leaving.
Besides, I like working too hard for not enough money.
You look like you haven't slept in days.
Yeah.
I'm a mess, I know.
Listen, nichelle, I need a favor.
There's this afghan kid that I got on my hands, and he's in the country because we fucked up -- the whole system.
He's not a bad kid, but if he stays here, he's gonna be trouble to a lot of people.
I need you to help me send him back.
Why are you sticking your neck out for an illegal? I mean, it's just not very fbi of you.
I think he just got turned the wrong way.
It wasn't even his fault, and I'm hoping I can make this right.
Darwyn This goes against all rules.
I mean, I could get into a lot of trouble for this.
And so could you.
I know.
Let me make a call.
But I'm not promising anything.
What is it with this kid? He has some dirty pictures of you or something? No, that's you.
Well I'll see what I can do.
Thank you, nichelle.
Look, I got to -- I got to get back to work.
Hey, just out of curiosity, you find yourself a good muslim woman yet? Not yet.
How about you? Last I heard, you were seeing some, uh beverly hills lawyer? He was a city councilman.
Ooh.
And he's ancient history.
Like us, right? Sometimes people can learn from history.
Hey, man, why aren't you at the warehouse? Thought I would take a break for salat al-'asr.
Khashul's been teaching some pashto proverbs.
Friends are serpents.
They bite.
Strangers are best.
Friends deceive.
Interesting.
Maybe you can teach me a few of those, huh? Okay.
Can I talk to you for a second? Are you checking up on me? Did you see those scars on khashul's body and his wrists and ankles? Yeah, so what? He got beat up a little bit.
Those are scars from american prison cuffs.
He hasn't even been in this country that long.
He's never been to a U.
S.
Jail.
Remember that spanish phrase he used -- I never heard it before.
Whenever I substitute-teach, half the students are chicano.
I asked around, and it's not used in mexican spanish.
It's used in castilian spanish.
It's cuban spanish.
What's your point? Either our boy's been learning spanish making sandwiches in miami, or he was at gitmo.
No, there are no cubans at gitmo.
The first thing soldiers learn from each other is profanity.
Cuban soldier curses out U.
S.
Soldier, U.
S.
Soldier curses out afghan prisoner.
There's a million places he could've learned that.
And one of them is gitmo.
If he was there, he's poison.
He could be on every watch list in the country.
Homeland security could be on us right now.
Do you want to take that chance at this point? Even if you do, it doesn't matter.
I e-mailed farik.
He gave us the order to get rid of him.
Fine.
I'll do it.
The kid trusts me.
It'll be easier that way.
Keep it clean, but make it fast.
We still have to finish the truck.
Stay low.
What are you doing? Making sure we're not being followed.
Nichelle, listen, it's darwyn.
Something's come up, and I need you to take my friend tonight.
Do you have a secure location where you can keep him? Oh, t-that's fine, that's fine.
I got to drop him off right now, though, okay? Can we meet somewhere? I'll explain later.
Just can we meet? A place in the park? That's good, that's good.
Okay.
Thank you.
Darwyn, what happened? You're going to meet a friend of mine, all right? She's a really good woman, and she's gonna help you find yasmin, all right? Yasmin? Your friend know where she is? She could find out, but she's gonna make sure you get yourself home, ok? where you belong.
No, but I like it here.
It's good for me.
Khashul, this is not the time for this right now.
You don't understand what I'm saying to you.
You do not belong here, okay? Just trust me on that.
Hey.
Get in the car.
Get in the car! Move! Don't move! Ray, ray, ray! You called the fbi?! We didn't have a choice.
I'm talking to you.
Calm down, ray.
It's gonna be all right.
It's not gonna be okay, darwyn.
You went way off the rails on this one.
He was a prisoner at git.
He could've been on a watch list.
I didn't want to trip any wires with farik.
He's on a watch list, darwyn.
You're trying to do an end run around me by helping out a terrorist?! You don't understand.
He's not a terrorist.
Tell me at the debriefing.
Right now you stand down.
Back him the fuck off.
Ray, don't do this! Ray! Fbi.
You're coming with me, gitmo boy.
Don't do this, ray! You're a traitor! You're with the shaytan! Ray! Ray! Call an ambulance! Ohh! We're gonna issue a press release.
All we know now is asac fuller got into an altercation with an unidentified illegal immigrant in griffith park.
Both men were killed, and it's under active investigation.
And you were never here.
Darwyn, I I had to call them.
It was too risky to sneak him out of the country, especially if he was on a watch list.
It was the right thing to do.
I'm sorry.
This is hard.
It's okay, ma'am.
Take your time.
I met this guy a couple of months ago.
The problem was is that there was something strange about him.
His behaviors.
Evasive.
Disappearing for days on end and then popping up like nothing was wrong, you know? He was hanging out with these other men, and one of them disappeared.
I didn't think anything of it at the time.
I didn't see anything suspicious.
Now, looking back on it, I, uh maybe I didn't want to see, you know? Maybe I'm just fuckin' crazy.
Ma'am? I think I think my boyfriend is a terrorist.
