The Border (2008) s01e07 Episode Script

- ICS!
- [Narrator]: Previously,
on The Border.
- Sergeant! You haven't seen the
government shrink yet, have ya?
- Let's just eliminate
conversation from this
relationship.
- Yvonne, please. Can we tal--
- Stop interrogating me.
I'm not a terrorist. I'm giving
you a shot at some quality
time with your kid.
- I I like this.
- I like us, too.
- You're new to the unit,
sergeant. So I'll say
this just once.
Don't ever undercut
me like that again.
- Enjoy your stay.
- Thank you.
- Uh, there's a few things
we need to go over--
- No. I speak for Amira. If you
want to go over something,
go over it with me, alright?
- Yeah, well, that's not
how we do things here.
- Amira!
- Look this way, sweetheart!
- Where the heck's security?
- We need a moment with Ms Amira
to review the Minister's letter.
- She's working.
I'll do my best.
- You and Ali
show us the kid! The kid!
- Hey mungo! Back it up a bit.
I'm trying to get a shot.
- They need you in the shot.
- Can you tell us why
you're in town?
- The "Children in the
Crossfire" conference.
It's part of my work
with the U.N.
We're taking direct
action against those
who bring war to non-combatants.
Monsters who use women
and children as pawns,
and targets, and human shields.
We've gotten 3 convictions
so far at the International
Criminal Court,
and we plan on getting more.
That's what we're here
to talk about.
- And what about you
and George Clooney?
- That, I am NOT talking about.
- Amira and Ali are shattered
from the long flight.
So that'll be all for now. Thank
you everybody. See you later.
- Thank you. Bye!
- Ali! Ali!
Ali!
- Hey, hey, hey. Whoa. Whoa.
Buddy. You gotta calm down
and back off.
- Could you please help me?
That woman, Amira.
She stole my son.
- Nothing with a southern view?
I wanted to see the lake.
- They told me this was
the best suite.
- Hoy!A bit much today, huh?
- Lots of pop-pop.
- Hey. We're with
Immigration Customs Security.
- No. Absolutely not.
No. Impossible. We can't talk
now, you'll have to come back.
- Yuh You're a lawyer,
right? Mr. uh
- McKinnon. Declan McKinnon.
I'm Amira's personal manager,
and yes, I am an attorney.
- Oh, fantastic. Look,
here's how this goes.
You guys are here as guests
of the Canadian government.
Now, one member of your
party, the boy, Ali,
has a special visa.
And we're not leaving here
until we explain the terms.
- A bag is missing.
- Excuse me. Sorry.
Amira, there are--
- Hello, hello, hello.
What can I do for you?
- Well, it's more what
we did for you. Your son
Ali has no papers, right?
- Documentation's a little thin
in the Sudanese refugee camps.
- Bag's gone. It's not
anywhere. It's missing.
- Don't worry, Ali,
we'll find it.
- You're from Darfur?
- Yes ma'am.
- The Home Office is still
working on his British passport.
We have to go to the
courts. It's ghastly.
- Yeah, well, that's why
he's here on a special
ministerial permit.
- Your Prime Minister
was very helpful.
We had dinner in Geneva.
He's quite a flirt.
- I wouldn't
know. This visa
is a huge exception
to Canadian law.
- I understand, and we, we, we
deeply appreciate your efforts.
- It's a one-time only Visa,
and it lasts for a month.
- Can you do anything
about our missing bag?
- That's a little
out of our area.
- It's tagged under
the name "Jane Smith."
- Huh. That's
very incognito.
- You know, 90% of bags
are found within 24 hours.
- Yeah, unless the
baggage mafia has it.
- That's not important.
If you could just
sign here, Ms Amira.
- It's just Amira.
- Actually, it's an old
airport scam. You see,
the baggage handlers
"disappear" a bag for
awhile. When it's found,
the airline pays a limo
driver to deliver it.
And the driver and a baggage
handler split the fee.
- Charming. Who knew
Canada was so lawless?
- Thank you.
- Sir.
- What was that?
- We're not porters.
Just having a little fun.
- The minister appreciates it,
I'm sure.
I'll see you tomorrow.
I like when you stay over.
- Thanks.
Mmm
My car's supposed to
be ready by eleven.
Nice phone call, by the way. You
hanging' with movie stars, now?
- Sorry. I can't.
- Relax. It's old news.
I think it's good she's
using her fame to do
something positive.
- Collecting orphans for
photo ops? Really positive.
- I don't know, Dad. How many
kids have you saved lately?
- I've the day off.
Tickets to the ball game.
- Baseball?
- Yeah. We used to throw the
ball around all the time.
You loved it.
- Yeah, when I was 8.
You can't spend every minute
of your time working and then
spring the Daddy-Daughter
time on me.
- I'm as involved
as you let me be.
- Oh really.
What's my boyfriend's name?
- Mark!
- Matt! I've been dating him
for almost a month now.
Nice parental concern.
I gotta go. Later.
- Have a good day.
- My country, Sudan,
there is so much war.
Families are split apart.
But that does not excuse
taking a man's son.
Amira stole my son from Sudan.
- Are you suggesting her
adoption of Ali is illegal?
- She is rich.
With powerful friends.
In government, the U.N.
She buys what she wants.
I am just one man.
But I will do whatever
it takes to see my son.
- Thank you.
We'll continue to follow
this story as it develops.
Back to you, Gord.
- Sir? Immigration and Customs
Security. We'd like to ask you
a few questions.
Can you come with us, please?
- Whoa. What? Where are
you taking me?
- Is he being arrested?
- We just want to have a chat.
Check into his claim that
his son's been abducted.
[Cell phone]
- Kessler.
- The Prime Minister is taking
a personal interest in
this movie star.
- Madame Minister.
I'm playing catch up here.
As far as ICS is concerned,
it was a routine walk through.
- Could he really be
the boy's father?
- We're bringing him in.
When I know more,
I'll let you know.
- We've gone out on a limb
for this woman.
- It will not trace
back to the PMO.
- As long as this story
has legs, no one is safe.
The last thing we need
is to be involved
in an international custody
case. Remember Elian Gonzales?
- We will do our best not to
drag the boy off at gunpoint.
- ICS is on every news site
from CNN to Perez Hilton.
It's exactly the kind
of silly season story
that winds up being a monster.
- Just give me a chance
to slay it.
- That was just
an old search.
I'm, I'm also I'm
defragging the Hard drive.
You know optical media.
Full of, uh filaments.
- Uh huh.
- She just left,
you know?
Didn't even
say good bye.
- I know.
Let it go.
- Uh
It's breaking three
ways right now, boss.
Channel eight is typical.
- Is this a case of another
spoiled rich star,
getting red carpet treatment
you and I could never get
from our government?
- Or there's door number two.
- The alleged "father"
is currently being held by
Immigration and Customs
Security.
Amira and Ali are in seclusion.
More proof of the terrible
downside of fame.
- Huh. What do you
expect her to say?
Her parent company distributed
the last Amira flick in Canada.
- I thought you said three ways?
- Uh Bloggers,
online journos, and alt-weeklies
all think that ICS
is part of some western
imperialist conspiracy.
You know, 'cause we support
turning troubled war zones
into baby markets.
- Oh, is that what we're doing?
- Hollywood and Brit tabs
all ran pics of Amira
in her skivvies. There's this
one on a boat in Majorca--
- We just need to know if this
guy's telling the truth.
- Easier said than done.
Here It's the main
refugee camp
on the Sudan-Chad border,
where Amira met Ali.
It's ninety thousand people.
- That's just one.
There's dozens more.
- Yeah We're talking
two and a half million displaced
over an area the size of France.
There's, uh, Janjaweed
Arab militia
fighting rebel groups fighting
government forces.
There's no records anywhere.
Calling Darfur a hellhole?
It's an insult to hellholes.
- That's a powerful photo.
- It was taken by Marco Lederer.
- He's a Canadian
photojournalist.
- Yeah. First guy in
Last guy standing.
Lederer's, uh, been blowing the
whistle on the ground for
a couple years now.
- Brave man. Everybody there
with a gun targets journalists.
- We should talk to him.
- Good luck.
He's missing, presumed--
- Okay. What do we know
about Suliman Adeen?
- He's, uh, here on a tourist
visa. Says he's a farmer.
- What are the chances Amira
would consent to a DNA
test on her son?
- First things first.
Let's work on Suliman.
- I say, what is the harm
of letting me see him?
- Where's Ali's mother?
- Dead. She died
when he was born.
- No disrespect, Mr. Adeen,
but you could have read that
in any magazine.
- I know this.
- How did you and Ali
become separated?
- Ali was at school,
away. When Janjaweed
took our village.
All the men joined
the struggle.
I was glad he
was not there.
He was so smart.
Ali learned fast.
- When did you see him last?
- More than a year ago.
And then, 2 months ago.
On TV. With her.
- Mr. Adeen,
would you be willing to take a
DNA test to establish paternity?
We'd need a little
bit of your blood.
- You take my blood,
and that sets me free?
My son gets to see the mountains
of Jebel Marra again?
No. No.
Forgive me if I do not
believe that you act
in my best interest.
Let me see my son.
That will tell all.
[Cell phone]
- Yes, Zoe.
- You're at work, aren't you?
I knew you couldn't stay away.
- I'm kind of in the middle
of something.
- Daddy? I need your car.
- I thought yours was
being fixed.
- Well, it was, but they found
something wrong with it.
- My car's standard.
- It's okay. Matt can drive.
We gotta move all of his drum
stuff. He's playing
The Rivoli tonight.
- Hey boss? He seems
credible to me.
Oh, and, uh, Ms Castle
is out by the drawbridge.
- C'mon, dad, please?
- I need it back in 3 hours.
- Thanks. Oh, Dad? Leave
the keys with security.
- Ms Castle, you can huff,
and you can puff,
but you're not
on the list.
- Ms Castle, can I help you?
- Yeah.
I'm here to see
Suliman Adeen.
- He called you?
- No. Northern African
Justice Alliance asked me
to look into some possible
civil rights abuses.
They say you strong armed
Adeen off the street, and are
holding him without counsel.
- "Strong-armed?"
- They're concerned the Canadian
government is facilitating
a miscarriage of justice
to do a favour
for a movie star.
- Process Ms Castle through.
I'll introduce you
to your client.
- Great. There's no
G8 summit today?
- Look sharp.
- No, no, no! Look,
it's Louis Vuitton.
There were two brown leather
straps, two front zip-pockets.
For pity's sake,
it's Jane Smith!
- Amira! Amira!
We love you, Amira!
- I love you too, darling.
I feel badly for Mr. Adeen.
He's been traumatized,
and he's been through
the horror of Darfur.
But the focus should not be on
us and our little problems.
The focus should be on the
hundreds of thousands of
women and children still
in the refugee camps of Darfur.
They're the real victims.
Thank you very much. Bye, bye!
Thank you.
- I hope there are
no fluorescents.
Amira's photo sensitive.
- Not at the airport,
she wasn't.
- She's here voluntarily,
at great hardship to
her own schedule.
- Guys have any special
drink requests,
or should we just
check the rider?
Any minute now, I may ask you
to shoot me in the head.
- Wasn't funny.
- If you're ready,
I'll take you in.
- Alright. Ali? Why don't
you stay here, okay?
- That's a pretty
nifty phone.
That model's
brand new, eh?
- Yeah.
- You'll get
the bag back, Ali.
- Could we go back there?
Help them look for it?
- There are thousands of bags.
It's only been a few hours.
I bet they'll drop it
right off at your door.
- Right.
- "My parents are dead."
That was the first thing
he said to me
in perfect English.
Imagine learning a second
language in a place like that.
His parents are dead.
He wouldn't lie about that.
- We'll get to the bottom of it.
- What is this guy's angle?
Does he want money,
a, a bribe, publicity
papers, maybe?
- He hasn't asked
for any of that.
- Trust me. He has an angle.
You get a sense of these things
the first time you see your
bed sheets sold on Ebay.
- You can't compel this.
- It's an act of goodwill.
The same goodwill
Canada showed by allowing
Ali into the country.
- Why can't I watch?
This is going to be tough for
him. He shouldn't be alone.
- He won't be.
But you have to stay here.
- I want to know
everything that happens.
- Ali? Ali?
Ali!
[Whispers]
You're stronger.
Reza is well.
You'll see him soon.
- Who's Reza?
- Tell him about
your adventures.
I have found him.
And now I have found you.
I will see you soon, Ali.
- Yes.
- Yes?
- Yes, Father.
- Ha! Ha! Ha!
- I don't believe this.
What are we supposed to do now?
- Not here. We'll talk
back at the hotel.
- Come here, baby.
- Can we go?
- Come on, sweetie.
- Are you all right?
- Thank you.
- [Crowd]: Freedom!
Freedom! Freedom!
- Just wait here.
My dad is way too intense.
- "Amira has left
the Building!"
- Sergeant Hourani.
You have an appointment
this afternoon?
- Yes. Um, I was thinking
with all the paperwork
that I have to take care of--
- No more cancellations.
- Yes, sir.
- Next.
- Thanks, Dad.
- Mark looks ambitious.
- Matt!
Matt Sharpe. Aaah!
- You know,
parents should teach
their children to be
self-sufficient units.
You should tell your daughter
all relationships are lies.
I could check him out.
- No.
- Liars.
Off the record,
what have we got?
- Honestly?
A morass.
Technically, the
kid's stateless.
Amira's adoption isn't legal
if Suliman didn't sign away
parental rights.
- Which country's law applies?
Canada, the U.K.? Sudan?
- Throw a dart.
We're going to have to take it
before a family court judge.
If he asserts jurisdiction,
he'll order DNA tests.
Then probably place him
in a group home
until it's settled.
- So much for slaying
the monster.
[Telephone]
Kessler.
- We are going to sue
you personally and your
agency, and your government!
- I knew. I knew!
I knew I shouldn't.
Now he's gone.
- Who's gone?
- Ali! Ali is not here.
He's missing!
- Kid could have
run away on his own.
- To Adeen?
- Suliman Adeen checked out of
his hotel about an hour ago.
- So we thinking
Suliman snatched him?
- Pull the CCTV from the hotel
cameras; see if we spot
Ali there.
- I'll, uh, flash all border
crossings, points of entries
with descriptions--
- Top level only. No media.
We want to keep a lid on
Suliman as long as possible.
- Hum Amira's lawyer,
Declan McKinnon?
He's going to the press.
- Layla said Ali
seemed agitated.
- Pull the tape on Suliman
and Ali's meeting. Comb it.
See what we've missed.
- Okay.
- Where is Layla?
- That appointment.
- Pull her back A.S.A.P.
We've run out of our
margin for error.
- Things happen, we
put them behind us--
- You suck it up.
- Exactly. Instead of vomiting
up our secrets to strangers.
- Secrets?
- Was that a trap?
- I am not your enemy, Sergeant.
- Anger's painful,
you know, it hurts.
People don't get that.
- It can overwhelm you.
- Exactly!
I mean, there's
this guy at work,
and he's always eating,
chewing, chomping,
and he's so bloody rude,
it pisses me off
so much I just
- Tell me about the shooting.
- I put it all in my report.
There's nothing to tell.
- Well, from everything I've
read, it was a clean shoot.
You were defending your life
against a terrorist.
- He would've shot me.
- I'm sure of it.
- He was so young.
- He was trying to kill you.
And your partner.
[Cell phone]
Phone is supposed
to be turned off.
- Text message.
I'm sorry, Doctor.
I have to go.
- Police and Immigration
are all looking for the boy.
- Have you spoken to Amira?
How is she taking it?
Is Adeen involved?
- Suliman Adeen is at an
undisclosed location.
He is not under arrest.
We continue to investigate.
- Has there been
a ransom demand?
- Let's refrain
from speculation.
There's no evidence
of an abduction.
As we know more, we'll
tell you more. Thank you.
- Major Kessler!
- Amira said she's
through cooperating.
She wants everything to go
through Declan McKinnon.
- Get McKinnon on the
phone. Tell him we're
pulling Ali's visa.
That means he's in the country
illegally and subject to
deportation.
- Okay.
- Where's Suliman?
- You got me. He gave me that
hotel address, same as you.
- You're not hiding him?
- Be serious.
- Suliman is in the wind,
which means he's a suspect
in an Amber Alert case.
Now, I can issue a
Canada Wide warrant,
or you can help him out.
- I'm not revealing
anything privileged.
- If he said anything about
abducting Ali, you're
required to come forward.
- Thank you for reminding
me of my obligations as
an Officer of the Court,
but you're barking
up the wrong tree.
- Who's this other kid
he mentioned, Reza?
- Suliman called him
Ali's "brother,"
but I don't think that's
what he meant, exactly.
- So not a 'blood' brother.
- More like a close friend.
Suliman came across him
in one of the camps.
- Why come here?
Why not the UK?
- He said it took him a while to
raise the money for the trip. He
found out they were coming here,
and, uh, the Canadian
visa was easier to get.
- So, what did you tell
him happens next?
- I said I'd file a motion with
the Family Court judge.
There'd be a hearing, um, they'd
order blood tests,
and provided it came back right,
we'd take it from there.
- He seemed on board with that?
- I've said enough.
How long until you
reveal to the press
that you can't locate my client?
Hm? That'll be very prejudicial.
- In about 2 hours,
it won't matter.
The press will pick it up
off the border alerts.
- Right.
- I'm telling you, when he left,
Ali was definitely upset.
- So, you're thinking something
at the meeting spooked him?
- Guys hey! This,
this you should see.
Wow um. Thai-food?
No nobody asked?
That's fine.
- What do you have?
- Right. Okay. I'm good.
Chips are fine.
This is CCTV footage.
- From the hotel?
- No, it's the airport. There
was a bit of a disturbance
at Terminal Three.
- Is that--?
- Yeah.
- Ali found the baggage mafia.
- This can't be about
his lost bag.
- How the hell did he get in
there? It's a restricted area.
- Well I-if you're
a passenger,
you gotta take off your
shoes, they grab your
hair gel, and they practically
make you go to third base.
But the Employee entrance,
not so much.
Security logged a missing I.D.
badge from a cleaner
lost 15 minutes before this.
- Who the hell is this kid?
- Ask his mom.
- Find out what hospital they
sent the baggage handler to.
Let's go talk to Ms Amira.
- So he just walked up to you
and started hitting you.
- You can see him shouting
at you on the security camera.
He was looking for something.
- This would be easier if you
could wait until I'm done.
- Yeah, uh, that's not gonna
happen. C'mon, let's go.
- He's embarrassed.
I would be, too, if a
kid just kicked my ass.
- He had a gun!
- Even still.
- That was no kid.
He was the dude was cold.
He was scary.
- Okay. Look. Cards
on the table, here.
We know about the baggage
scam, and we don't care.
We just want to figure
out where the kid went.
- So, he was after the bag that
you guys "lost," right?
- We didn't know
whose bag it was.
The tag said "Jane Smith."
Then we saw it on the news.
- What'd you do with the bag?
- Figured it was too hot
to pull the scam. I gave the bag
to a driver I knew, and I said
"loose it."
- Did you look inside the bag?
- Nuh.
- C'mon.
- Nuh. I swear.
- Look, Genius.
The tags said "Jane Smith," you
didn't look inside the bag.
How'd you know whose bag it was?
- The lost kid was on the news.
The lost bag wasn't.
- Reza is well.
You will see him soon,
tell him about your adventures.
I have found him.
And now I have found you.
- That's where Ali tenses up.
Do you see that?
- Hum just a second.
Hold on.
I've seen that photo before.
- Where?
- I have no idea.
- Can you go back?
I talked to our African
language specialist.
Suliman whispers something like,
"I want the red man's blood."
And Ali says he doesn't have it.
- "“The red man's blood?"”
Oh, Great.
That's great.
That sounds psychopathic.
- Nope. Sorry.
That's impossible.
- "That's impossible."
What is that, a British thing?
- You know, in obtaining
the permit, you made some
assurances about the boy.
Now we find out
he's dangerous.
- Forget about suing. We're
going to have you disbarred.
- I rather doubt that.
- You just lied on an
immigration document.
U.S. Government takes
that sort of thing very
seriously these days.
- You can kiss the red
carpet goodbye for a while.
So what is this kid,
just a misplaced
prop to Amira now?
Is that it?
- You think whatever you want.
Just get him back.
- Where did Ali get a gun?
- My firearm's missing.
- That's how we knew
he'd run away.
- You brought a weapon into
the country without
declaring it?
I should send you
all down for that.
- You're running out
of exceptions.
- Ali
is quiet and gentle.
- He's on tape, brutalizing
a baggage handler.
- He's an orphan.
He, he grew up with
unimaginable horrors.
- He's tough. Resourceful.
And he just put a man in
hospital. How well do you
really know your son?
- Major, do you have children?
How well do you
really know them?
- So Ali went from one end of
the city to the other
on his own?
- Yup.
- And he just walked
through airport security.
- He's survived a civil war,
a Sudanese refugee camp,
and 6 months in
London with Amira.
I think you overestimate
the grand challenge that
Toronto presents.
- Maybe.
Here's our man with a bag.
- Let's go.
- Yup.
- Hey, Boss. I got some
interesting intel for you.
- Hold on. Okay, go ahead.
- So he got picked up for
drinking underage, twice.
Dropped out of college. And
we've also got a bit of mischief
at the CNE last year.
Taunting a carny.
Not nice.
- What are we talking about?
- That Matt guy. Zoe's Matt.
- I told you no.
- Tracking him took
a lot longer than I thought,
too. I couldn't just
trace him through
his driver's license.
- Why not?
- Uh, cause he doesn't have one.
Oh. Gotta go, Boss,
downtime is dunzo.
You can thank me later.
- What?
- What do you think
you're doing, driving around
with a boy without a license?
- Uh,
Matt's been driving since he
was 14. He's from Alberta.
Wait. How did you know he
didn't have his license?
You're spying on me? You're
such a freak! What's next?
An ankle bracelet?
- I don't care where you
are. Pull over the car.
Park it, legally,
and bring me the keys.
- Darfur, A Photographer's
Journey?
- It's Marco Lederer's book.
- Lederer had red hair.
Suliman said,
"the red man's blood."
- Hello.
- Hey Slade? I got a flash
memory card here. Very hidden.
- Upload whatever's on there
to me. Tout de suite.
Page 73.
- It's the same.
- How did you remember
this picture?
- Oh, well. I have a
subscription to "Child
Soldier Monthly." So
I'm kidding.
It won an award. I read.
- "In another country
they'd be playing soccer.
Here, they're taught to kill by
men who feed them drugs
and make the boys
call them Father."
- Suliman Adeen
isn't Ali's father.
- He's the man who
taught him to kill.
- All right. Got it.
- I am telling you,
he has barely been out
of my sight in 6 months.
I thought he had adjusted
I thought--
- He's harmless?
Stable? Not a killer?
There's one important
thing you didn't tell us.
Ali was a child soldier.
- N-Now that is preposterous.
He was an orphan living
in a refugee camp.
- Before that.
- It's not uncommon. There's
over a hundred thousand child
soldiers in Africa.
- Amira?
Amira, You knew?
- Not at first.
It was the way he slept.
Eyes open.
It took forever for him
to stop doing that.
- You had a responsibility
to disclose that information
when you wanted to come
into Canada with him.
- Because North America
gives young black men
so many second chances.
I suspected, yes.
But we never talked about it.
I was trying to win
the trust of a boy
who was taught to trust no one.
- Please. Don't,
don't say anything more.
For God's sake, please.
- They get them when
they're 9
or 10. They give them drugs.
They abuse them.
Ali's a gentle soul.
He is.
He doesn't raise his voice,
he doesn't get angry--
And if people knew, they'd
think he was a monster.
He's not a monster.
He's a child.
And yes, I protected him.
I protected him when
nobody else would,
and I am not sorry.
- Did you know a photographer
named Marco Lederer?
Ali did. So did
Suliman Adeen.
We now think Suliman
was Ali's commander.
- And you let him in the
same room with my son!
- Ali's missing bag had
a flash memory card in it.
- Well, well, umm, from,
from a digital camera?
- We think that's what
Suliman wants.
- Why?
[Cell phone]
Hello?
- Please don't worry about me.
- Ali, Come back to the hotel.
- I can't.
It's all ruined now.
- Ali, baby, no it's not.
- I'm so sorry.
Father. I have it.
- There's something you
guys need to see. Darnell?
This was on the memory card.
Marco Lederer took
Suliman Adeen's picture.
And Adeen killed him for it.
- Lederer photographed
his own execution?
- "The red man's blood."
That's what Suliman wanted.
Lederer's killer.
We had him right here.
- How did Ali get
that memory card?
- He saw the whole thing.
- Did we pull the Luds
from Amira's cell?
- Yeah.
Ali's phone is new,
so it's tricked out
If it's on, we can track it.
He made one more call.
Uh, probably Suliman.
He has a disposable cell.
- Maybe we'll catch a break.
And our boy soldier won't
know that we can track him
through his phone.
- We have to pick him up.
- No. I want him to lead us
to Suliman. I want them both.
- He's just a kid.
Don't do this.
- We don't know how many people
he's killed. And we let him in.
- Well, if he gets killed,
how's that gonna look for us?
Cause that's all
that matters here, right?
That we're not embarrassed?
- Put a team together. Now.
- Check, check.
- Gray, cell phone GPS is
coming in loud and clear.
You should be able to see
him any second now.
- Gray. I'm not far. If you see
the kid, grab him. Don't wait.
- That's not my call,
Layla. Or yours.
- Take the kid, Gray. He's 14.
Don't use him as bait.
- Uh, this is NOT good.
- Sergeant Hourani,
I am ordering you to stand
down. Gray, stay on Ali.
- I got him. He's headed east.
- Who's close?
- Hum
Just Gray and Layla. Maggie and
Moose are still, uh, twelve
minutes away.
- Dammit. The kid made me.
Ah, man! This kid is good.
- Uh, boss? He's headed
into the square.
- Ali? You mean
to shoot me?
- Why couldn't you
leave me alone?
- You bring this
on yourself.
That camera was smashed for
a reason. And then Reza
told me those pictures
may still exist.
- Mr. Marco was a good man.
He deserved better.
- Ha! Ha! Ha!
We all deserve better, Ali.
I deserve soldiers who follow
orders, who don't flee to camps
because a journalist fills
their heads with lies.
- Ali!
Don't!
- You must go.
- I've got him!
Put the gun down!
- No.
- Damnit. ICS, Hourani's in
the mix. We have a situation.
The kid's got a gun on Suliman.
- Alert Metro Police.
Let's get it cordoned off.
If they want tactical command
tell them that's our
operator in there.
- Give me what I came for.
- I lied. I don't have it.
- Reza was quite angry with
you for forgetting him.
Leaving him alone in the camp.
- Is he dead, too?
- You know the price
for running away.
- Ali! Please put the gun down.
- She's deliberately putting
herself in the line of fire.
- Yes. Be a good soldier.
Obey. Tell her what
you did for me.
- Please. Ali.
- If he could have shot me,
he would have done it
back in Sudan.
- How long until we got those
snipers in position?
- Remember. I spared you.
- But she saved me.
- Movie star?
Yet you did not
tell her about me.
- Ali, give me the gun.
- You know, when Movie Star
finds out what you really are,
she will not want you.
- Amira knows that part of you.
You're not that boy anymore.
You did what you had to do.
Now you have a choice.
- They will all know
what you did.
And they will hate
you for it. So.
Right now. Give Father the gun.
- Ali? Please.
- I am all you have left.
- No, Father.
- You still call me Father.
- I'm not a kid. You move,
I'll send you back to
Africa in a box.
Now get down.
- It's okay.
- I wanted to tell you.
- It's okay. It's alright.
We have time.
- Newspaper syndicate's
calling the Lederers
about their son, now.
- Why did Ali take
the memory card?
- To remember?
For the first guy who
was ever decent to him.
Wouldn't you?
- Hey.
It wasn't even the photo of
Lederer's murder Suliman
was after.
The guy in the photo
is Janjaweed.
Suliman was National Redemption
Front. They're supposed
to be enemies.
- He was playing
both sides.
- Yup. Civil war.
The gift that keeps on giving.
- Come with me.
Ali won't be charged for the
assault on the baggage handler.
Amira's manager made
an arrangement.
I thought you'd like
to know that.
- Thanks.
- Doctor Gorman recommends that
you see somebody 3 times a week.
I'm taking you out of the
field. Desk duty only.
[Telephone]
Yvonne.
- Are you aware that my client
intends to file for
refugee status?
- Good luck.
- He says he's liable
to face summary execution
if he returns to Sudan.
- Well, too bad his hearing
won't come up
before his war crimes trial.
- Mike.
We're all just doing
the best we can, right?
- Right. Good night, Yvonne.
[Door open]
- Just picking up my stuff.
- Zoe?
Zoe, it's my job to protect you.
People always look harmless.
Right up until the moment
they try to harm you.
- Do you know how
messed up that sounds?
- I have seen people who
lived in peace for 30 years
start killing each
other overnight.
I can't just turn that off.
- Be careful, Dad
you almost said "Bosnia."
- Are you hungry?
- I could eat.
Let me show you how it's done.
