You don't understand.
Maya! Whoever's listening to this you got the ring wrong.
We know she's alive.
You stay here, you'll be next.
Did you come for me or her? So you brought him here? You and your Osela friends will take her away and I will never see you again.
Ruby's lying about who she is.
You're responsible for Harrison.
He's gotten too close.
King's Point? Get your hands off my mother.
Ma? Hmm.
Mmm.
Don't get that.
Bob, it's 5:00 a.

I can't believe she did it! Oh, my God! Who did what? Just take a breath.
Tell me what happened.
Ruby killed my mother.
What? She's dead! What the hell happened? My mother is dead! I made her a, a peanut butter sandwich and She just sat there.
I'm so, so sorry, Bob.
Ruby did it, I know she did it.
I know it.
Just calm down.
Listen to me.
It's normal to want to blame someone.
I I get that.
But Wait.
Are Are you with her right now? Stay where you are.
I'll be I'll be right there.
Okay.
I'll stay here.
Wait, Ha Wait, Harrison? Yeah? Be careful! What's going on? Bob's mother died.
Oh.
That's awful.
Poor guy.
What's he gonna do? I I gotta get over there.
I'll come with you.
No.
Sorry.
I I just Okay.
I know.
Bob doesn't like me or whatever.
No.
I just think he's kinda fragile right now.
Probably the fewer visitors the better.
Yeah, of course.
I guess Rose has been sick a long time, right? Could of seen it coming.
I'll bet he's freaking out right now.
You're a good friend.
Yeah.
I hear they have the best lamb in the city here.
They make it like they do back home in Pakistan.
You should not have followed me.
I'm just another customer asking if you recommend the Shahi Tukda.
If you're polite, you won't draw attention to us.
You have as long as it takes for me to get my food.
What do you want? The same as before.
I need to meet your friend.
You're wasting your time.
I'm the only hope he has for a future that doesn't involve a coffin or a view of Havana through a chain link fence.
We trusted an American once.
It didn't work out.
Who? That kid outside the barber shop? I don't know who he is or why you trusted him, but it was a mistake.
He was probably followed.
Why should we trust you? I told you.
I was with the Justice Department.
I know the system and how to keep your friend safe from it.
It's too late.
After the shooting, I only hear from him when he needs food or supplies.
Your time's up.
You want your friend to survive this? Maybe even get his life back? Then you'll look into my eyes and you'll see I'm the only person who can help him.
Please? Where is he? You got anything to tie him with? He's not going anywhere.
How do we kill him? We don't.
Here.
The truck needs petrol.
Take a left at the end of the alley and tell Malik I sent you.
Come straight back.
But he's worth more to us alive.
Maybe to you.
Get the petrol.
Go.
Go.
Have you got any bandages or alcohol for the infection? Great.
What you see is what you get.
What are you doing? Oh.
Getting my bag.
All right.
I've got bandages, antiseptic.
You can keep him alive, right? Make him well enough to talk? Maybe.
Maybe? He's got internal bleeding, infection.
His heart may stop before I even get started.
You should move faster then.
Why? Why do you care so much? I only care about his friends.
How many are coming? And are they coming for me or just you? You think he's just gonna tell you that? Yes, he will.
If he wants to live.
He may die either way.
Just get him so he can talk.
I'll handle the rest.
So, let's say that I do get him to talk.
Huh? Then what happens? We keep moving.
How many people have you killed? Enough.
Why? Well I just don't understand.
The man kills your girlfriend right in front of you.
And then he comes to your house.
He tries to attack you.
Tries to kill you.
Why is he still alive? You said there were more of them.
I want to know how many.
Well, five, ten, a thousand.
What does it matter? The fact is that you didn't kill him.
Why? I knew you would have questions.
So you dragged a dying man, an Osela, all the way to Timbuktu, to me, because you wanted to be helpful? Yeah.
You stupid son of a bitch.
What? That's why you left the tracker on him! I didn't know Yeah, you knew.
You brought him to No, I me because you were trying to help them.
No.
I didn't know.
Hello, Michael.
You missed your mark.
Yeah.
There was some confusion.
I can still handle him.
No.
I put someone else on the Pakistani.
What's the status of Harrison? You had an opportunity to complete that mission as well.
What are you doing? I have to find the right time.
Let me find it for you.
6:00 p.
m.
Tomorrow.
No later.
King's Point.
Finish it! Do you understand? Ruby? Ruby? Didn't I see you at the Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore? Who are you? A friend.
Sent by a friend Who said you might be hungry.
Just because you know the right words does not make you a friend.
If I wasn't, you'd be in handcuffs by now.
My name is Peter Decker.
I'm a lawyer.
A former US Attorney.
The lmam thinks that you can help me.
I am a friend of Sofia Tsaldari Ah, you're that Peter Decker.
I know about Black Sands, Abdul Abbas.
Sofia and I are working to expose SOC's crimes.
I wish you luck with that.
You were there.
You can help us.
We have plans to get you safely to Greece.
Sofia can protect you.
You'll be free to testify.
And who will believe me? I am a terrorist, like Abbas.
I know that's a lie.
We can show people the truth.
A retainer.
I'm your lawyer now.
Attorney-client privilege.
Yes? I can tell you anything? Yes.
Within reason.
I am not a terrorist.
But I knew many of them.
Even Abdul Abbas.
You knew SOC was funding Al Qaeda.
It is, how you say, a vicious cycle.
Your companies pay terrorists to make war.
Your armies invade, create new business, make more war, and so on.
I tried to speak out, but the man who framed me is now a US senator.
Darnell.
I promise you, if he's responsible, we'll make him pay.
By the grace of Allah, the Senator will pay, in this life or the next.
Tell me something, Mr.
Decker, what is your biggest fear? Failure.
Mine is to disappear.
You mean to die? No.
No.
Not to die.
To vanish.
Forever.
Like I was never here.
And your country can make that happen to people like me.
Black sites, Guantanamo Bay.
I will do everything in my power to protect you.
Okay.
Okay, my new lawyer, I trust you.
But I won't agree to anything until I speak to Sofia in person.
My cell number's on the back.
Sofia and I will meet you wherever you want.
There are some things that I have to take care of first.
I will text you.
Good bye, Mr.
Decker.
How do I know you're not trying to kill him? You don't.
What? It's your game.
You tell me how you wanna play it.
Will you help this man or not? Not.
Ruby killed her, Harrison.
It's the only thing that makes sense.
Your mom wasn't well, Bob.
I know it's painful, but maybe Maybe she just passed away.
I got too close.
Found out who Ruby really is.
I taunted her with it.
So stupid! So stupid.
Bob.
So stupid.
Bob.
Stop.
Stop.
I gotta find out who she works for.
I gotta get to the bottom of this.
Just one thing at a time, Bob.
Maybe, uh, uh, maybe you should eat something.
I can order some food.
Or, uh, do you Do you have any, uh, relatives that I should call? Aunts or uncles? Maybe Maybe Maybe a cousin that could come stay with you for a while? What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? We'll figure it out, Bob.
Yeah.
Uh, we'll figure it out, right? Yeah.
Imam Khulus! Please.
Open the door! Please! I still need to talk to him.
Are you FBI? NYPD? 'Cause 'Cause I already talked to them.
Next time you get the same as your father.
You can't kill me.
No.
That was a mistake.
I wasn't trained to kill a defenseless man in cold blood.
Why are you doing this? Huh? You were a soldier once.
I'm still a soldier.
And who are you fighting? I'm fighting for my country.
You of all people do not get to judge me.
Not you.
An American company was paying the same terrorists that we're fighting.
I had to do something! And how many people have died because you did what you had to do? You disobeyed a direct order.
And because of you, your entire unit was killed.
That was you.
I wouldn't be here.
Your friends would still be alive.
You did that.
You killed them.
That was you! You did that! You did it! You did that! Where's your security? Nearby.
I don't want to scare him off.
Yusuf said Bethesda Fountain, 5:00.
He should be here soon.
Although, he is the focus of a tri-state manhunt.
It could affect his schedule.
I'm just nervous.
We're so close.
This is a new age of American exceptionalism! One that starts at home and reaches far abroad.
Peter.
We haven't spoken about what happened at your house the other night.
Is Maya all right? She won't return my calls.
Nor will Sarah, for that matter.
I hope you get your family back, Peter.
I mean that.
I want you to be happy.
But no matter what happens, I hope you know I will always be your friend.
Although my friendship may not make up for the $40 million you are about to lose.
Money well spent.
Yusuf's not coming.
What? What does he mean? "Justice will be served"? I don't know.
We're the only ones who can help him.
Today Today.
Why today? Justice.
Justice.
Yusuf told me his biggest fear was to disappear.
Which is what happens if he gets caught and sent to Guantanamo.
There's no justice in that.
The story never gets told.
And he never gets revenge.
What? What is it? He's going after Darnell.
That's his justice.
He's going after Darnell.
Yes, but if he does that he'll be arrested.
He will never get to tell his story.
No.
He would.
The alleged Benghazi terrorist, Ahmed Abu Kahttala, is being tried on US soil accused of killing a United States official.
So if he kills Senator Darnell He gets a trial, here.
He can tell his story.
He He doesn't disappear.
I need the number for Senator Darnell's office.
America must and will be bold about its goals throughout the world and undaunted in achieving them.
Peter Decker? This is Blake Kormer, Senator Darnell's Chief of Staff.
Would you mind telling me how you know there's gonna be an attempt on the Senator's life? There isn't time.
Just alert his security detail.
Look, I don't know how you Why should I You want to be the man who allows a US senator to be assassinated? Just do it, damn it! The Senator is traveling right now, so Traveling? Traveling where? Call his security detail.
Call the Boathouse.
Do it now.
Darnell's giving a speech here at the Central Park Boathouse.
Yusuf picked this spot on purpose! He's doing it now? Yeah.
You need to get out of here.
Go! Now! Thank you! And God Bless America! Senator! Senator! The kid is not back yet? Oh, you're not talking now.
Fine.
I don't see it that way.
Then you're naive.
The Oselas will kill you, me, anyone that saw me.
Anyone that says I didn't die in Tessalit.
Anyone that says that they lied.
And if I run with you, they find us and kill me anyway.
When they come here, I will reason with them.
This way, I have a chance.
So give me a chance, too.
How? The keys to your truck.
Give me a head start.
You don't wanna see me die.
If they find out that I helped you Well, then you say that I stole the truck, that I overpowered you.
It wouldn't be the first time, would it? Go.
Go.
I I gotta wait for Aslam.
And the petrol.
Will you Will you give me till then? Are you crazy or what? I'm giving you a chance to leave, and you choose to wait? Look, I heard what the Osela said to you.
And for what it's worth, it's not true.
None of this is your fault.
It's just life.
It's just Africa.
Serena? Save yourself.
Do you speak English? A little.
I'm looking for an American woman.
A soldier.
I know she was here recently.
Might have been traveling with a teenage boy? Yesterday.
Were they traveling with anyone else? A tall black man? A white man in a truck.
Which way did they go? They go this way.
Tell no one we've spoken.
Savages.
What the hell happened? I got jumped.
Wait.
What do you mean? Who did this? The same guys that killed my father.
How How do you know that? They said it.
"Next time you'll get the same as your father.
" Okay.
Uh, tell me exactly what happened.
I need to use your computer.
I got attacked by three guys outside of the mosque.
One of them had this weird sword and knife tattoo.
I know I've it seen before.
Sword and knife? Could be anything.
I I did research on private military contractors operating at Black Sands.
A bunch of A bunch of them have changed their names, modified their logos.
I know I've seen this one.
Osela.
They're Osela.
Look.
Osela Private Security.
They killed my father.
Hey! Hey.
It's okay.
Look, I know I look like a mess, but, uh, this is good.
This is the first lead I've had in a long time, all right? Ow! Okay.
Uh, can you get me some ice? Sorry.
Where is Ballard? You're looking good.
No need for thanks.
This is business, huh? Let me tell you how this will happen.
You will give me the phone number for your Osela contact.
I'm gonna call them.
And you're gonna tell them what a great friend I've been to you.
How I saved your life.
'Cause I did save your life, right? Then they will come for you and I will never hear from you or Osela ever again.
Where is Ballard? I don't know, man.
This is a mistake.
She escaped.
You know? She's a very slippery one.
Escaped? But you and your friends will find her, I'm sure.
She can't be far.
Meanwhile, you need medical care, my friend.
And I need to go back to my life.
The number.
The number.
001-202.
You bitch! I gave you my truck.
Said you could leave.
Why didn't you just go? You said to save myself, so I did.
Now we're both dead.
No.
Wait.
Where are you going? To save myself.
Please.
Come with us.
You know the route.
With you, it's safe.
That's impossible.
Good-bye.
Please.
Where is he going? I don't know.
What about the Osela? He's dead.
Where's the petrol? You okay? I just found out that I'm not a killer.
Good.
That's good.
I'm sorry to leave you with this mess.
But the election, it has its demands.
I'm not sure what to do next.
The testimony of an assassin isn't worth a whole hell of a lot against Societal.
I have faith in you, Peter.
You'll work something out.
"I" will work something out? Of course I will help you.
Your husband was killed at Black Sands.
SOC continues to manipulate, threaten and murder everyone who comes after them.
And And you're just gonna walk away? But this isn't just about you and me anymore, Peter.
I need to think about fulfilling the promises I made to the people of my country.
What does that mean? You're not considering taking Baker's deal, are you? That's our leverage.
If you agree to an arrangement, they'll get away with everything.
I realize that.
Sofia There is another Yusuf out there.
Someone or something Some other evidence we can use.
Whatever it is, I'll find it.
I know you will.
You keep me posted.
You sent people.
They beat him up.
He knows who they are.
Why? You know the answer to that.
Never hang up on me.
You have yet to eliminate him.
Now you've come to convince me why you shouldn't.
Let me handle it my way.
He's already been questioned by the Feds.
He's under constant surveillance.
If I do it now, it risks exposure.
We should wait a few weeks.
Is that how this relationship works? We negotiate? I'm reporting from the field.
That's my job.
Is it also your job to fall in love with your target? That's ridiculous.
Is it? Yeah.
I hear it in your voice, your tone.
How you speak to me.
I'm working.
You're screwing him.
So he trusts me.
Brings me closer to Yusuf Qasim.
You were always spot on.
You never wavered.
Ever.
Something's changed.
I'm not here to play mind games.
If you have a deadline for Harrison, get someone else to do it.
No.
You'll do it.
The only question is whether you do it before or after I tell him who killed his father.
I will make sure Harrison knows what I know.
You are a killer.
Maybe I've changed.
People like us don't change.
And thank God for that.
I'm not a killer.
Then who are you? Where do you belong? Do you think you belong with him? You killed his father in cold blood.
You ordered me to.
Tsk.
What does that matter to him? Do you think he'll forgive you? Save you? Love you? He'll be the first to call the police.
And then where will you go? This is the only place in the world where you are safe, Ruby.
This is the only place where the things you have done are not only accepted, they are praised.
And I only ask for one thing in return.
Loyalty.
To me.
To your essential nature.
To your God-given talent.
Tell me what you are.
Who are you, Ruby? Say it.
I'm a killer.
That's my girl.
Here's the petrol.
Good.
Any news? I asked some people.
Nobody has seen Luc.
Should we wait for him? You're back.
My gun.
Please.
Are you coming with us? My gun.
I'm sorry.
Odelle!
