Homeland s03e06 Episode Script

Air and naval forces of the United States launched a series of strikes against terrorist facilities- Pan Am Flight 103 crashed into the town of Lockerbie.
He has sanctioned acts of terror in Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
This will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait.
his relentless pursuit of terror.
We will make no distinction- The USS Cole was attacked while refueling in the port of Aden.
This was an act of terrorism.
It was a despicable and cowardly act.
The next number we're gonna swing for you is one of the good ol' favorites.
until something stops him.
It was right in front of my eyes, and I never saw it coming.
We got a plane crashed into the World Trade Center.
thousands of people running- We must, and we will, remain vigilant at home and abroad.
You're the smartest and the dumbest fucking person I've ever known.
I'm not the one who got it wrong.
I'm the only one who got it right.
Take 'em.
Take 'em all.
Roll every available ambulance you've got to this position.
Previously on Homeland.
I'm inviting you into an ongoing operation, Peter.
Carrie's and mine.
You mean burning her in front of the Senate- The case officer in question, she's been diagnosed as bipolar.
- Committing her to a mental institution - This is a fucking sham.
- All an act.
Part of the plan.
- Fuck me.
Two nights ago, the deputy chief of Iran's Intelligence Directorate took the bait.
We believe he's on his way here.
- What do you mean Dana's missing? - She disappeared three days ago.
She stole my car and broke her boyfriend out of the clinic.
His parents put him there to avoid a homicide charge.
I cannot have lies in my life and you lied to me.
Dana, please.
I spoke to the president yesterday.
He's concerned.
He's exploring some changes in intelligence practice.
I'll do whatever it takes, but I won't temper my views just to get your support for my confirmation as director.
I'm afraid you've got this backwards, old friend.
I'm the one getting nominated as director.
Saul.
I didn't expect you back tonight.
This is Alain Bernard.
Hello.
- Yes.
- I think the watch is back on.
No sound.
Any sign of Carrie? No, there's no sign of Carrie.
I'm too fucking far away.
- I'm getting closer.
- Quinn, do not move.
Quinn? Yeah, I'm inside.
She's gone.
- We lost her.
- But we know who's got her.
- We're back in business.
- She's on her own, Saul.
She's always been on her own.
Take it off.
Carrie Mathison.
Police traffic cameras picked up three men leaving D.
C.
With Carrie in a Dodge sedan around 1:34 a.
m.
False plates.
Likely a stolen vehicle.
Show him the UAV footage.
This may take a minute.
- About time.
- Hey, sorry.
Taxi gone lost.
You took a fucking taxi to a CIA safe house? It was a joke.
I flew in from a job in Georgia.
I got here as fast as I could.
- Hi.
- I'm waiting.
Trying to send him the drone feed.
The car turns onto the GW Parkway six minutes later.
Beltway 14 minutes after that.
Then heads north on 270 towards Germantown.
Pulls into a truck stop.
Three men hustle Carrie inside.
- The drone is now useless.
- Truck stop security cameras? Limited to gas pumps, cash registers and bathrooms.
Nothing.
- What about the car? - They never went back to it.
It's still there, six hours later.
- So we lost her.
- Yes.
How about we check the car for prints? See if we can ID any of those three men.
No.
We don't panic or do anything that could compromise Carrie.
Right.
Keep looking.
Fuck.
Firstly, Ms.
Mathison, I wish to apologize for the precautions we had to take in bringing you here.
I understand.
If we are to have a relationship that has any real meaning we must first establish the most important ingredient: Trust.
Now.
Are you ready? Yes.
- Is this the month of March? - Yes.
Are you married? No.
Do you know who I am? Majid Javadi.
Second-in-command of Iran's Intelligence Directorate.
Morning.
Morning.
His name is Alain Bernard.
He didn't stay the night, if that's what you're wondering.
How un-French of him.
We met in Mumbai.
He was researching an article on police corruption.
You don't need to explain yourself.
Will you look at me, please? I didn't do anything wrong, Saul.
When I met him you and I had separated.
Your decision not mine.
Then your world collapsed, and I came running.
Yes, you did.
But I left something behind.
It was a whole life I was starting there.
So you're in love with him.
- Tell me.
- Don't do this, Saul.
It's a simple question.
Yes or no, do you love him? We have fun.
He makes me laugh.
How's that? The day's better with him in it.
That's all I needed to hear.
Saul.
You should know the president is nominating Andrew Lockhart as director of Central Intelligence.
What? When did this happen? Nothing happened.
I don't think I was ever really in the running.
- I'm so sorry, Saul.
- Oh, don't be.
I'm fine.
For God's sake, Saul, stop this detached routine.
Just get angry at something.
Get angry at me.
I don't have any claim on you, Mira.
No, but you do.
Surely you know that.
Not anymore.
Do you still work for the CIA? - Yes.
- You're an analyst.
- Case officer.
- A spy.
Who's currently on administrative leave.
Does anyone else know that you and I are meeting? No.
Are you able to provide me with information on CIA matters? I told Mr.
Bennett I might be able to discuss some areas within certain strict parameters.
Yes or no, please.
I agreed to speak with you.
And you alone.
I don't know these men.
They're making me nervous.
You can trust them.
Like you trust me.
The machine says you're lying.
Are we completely alone now? - Is anyone else listening to this? - No.
No one is listening.
Shall we try this again? No.
No.
We're done.
What are you doing? It's time we talk about Nasser Hejazi.
Goalkeeper for the 1978 Iran World Cup team whose name you used to embezzle more than $45 million from the Revolutionary Guard.
You are now an enemy of your own state.
Brava, Ms.
Mathison.
Quite excellent.
So when did you and Saul hatch this plan? You bombed the CIA 12/12.
We got to work in the early hours of 12/13.
If you're considering killing me or running, forget it.
You're outnumbered and outgunned.
You'll never get off this property.
So why am I not arrested already? Saul would like to talk to you first.
He used you to lure me.
Saul Berenson.
Still, after all these years, putting other people's lives on the line.
Tell your man that your plan to recruit me as an asset has worked.
- Then I'll take you to Saul.
- Now? You can finish your cigarette.
For me to leave with you so quickly will arouse suspicion.
- You'll find a way.
- I know my men.
I trained them.
You command and they obey.
The plan was to test you with the lie detector and if satisfied, to give you a simple assignment.
That is how we recruit all of our assets.
There is no plausible way to explain a sudden change in that procedure.
What are you suggesting? I tell them I've instructed you to retrieve an item of valuable intelligence - and deliver it to me in person.
- Valuable intelligence? Like what? The intelligence that led to the six assassinations that your clandestine service carried out around the world in response to the bombing of Langley.
I can have that by this afternoon.
- That fast? - I'm that good.
Otherwise, why go to all this trouble to recruit me? - Where? - Exit 1 off the 270.
There's a coffee shop right there.
Raffi's Coffee Shop.
Can't miss it.
Falls Church train station is what I had in mind.
I just changed it.
- Wait here.
- Make it quick.
Saul should have instructed you to treat me with more respect than that.
Bring me the bank files from Venezuela, please.
Let's go.
This way.
Let's go.
Where's Mr.
Javadi? I need to speak with Mr.
Javadi again before I leave.
Get in the car.
Where would you like them? The Venezuelan bank files.
Is that Javadi? In a French restaurant in Tehran.
With our wives.
You and he were friends? We were young intelligence officers during the dying days of the Shah.
Complicated times.
Who's that? Sanjar Hootan.
Professor of political science at the University of Tehran.
An agent of yours? One of four I recruited there before the revolution.
This is Tal'at Basari, a concert-level pianist whose cousin had ties to Khomeini.
What's the relevance to you now? I had to get all four out of Iran after the revolution.
Their lives were in danger.
Javadi offered to help.
He said SAVAK had a safe house near the airport where they could stay while I got travel documents together.
- When was this? - May, 1979.
Country was in full revolutionary crisis mode.
Khomeini's thugs in the street, trying to consolidate power.
What happened? When I showed up at the house their bodies were laid out on the carpet, side by side.
I had promised them the protection of the United States government.
Instead they got a bullet to the back of their heads.
Javadi.
It was his ticket into the new regime security services.
I flew back to Washington, handed in my resignation.
Not only were my people dead, but I watched a man I thought I knew become an animal.
In front of my eyes.
So this operation is your revenge.
No.
Revenge was when I helped his wife and son escape to the West four months later.
That's her.
Fariba.
This isn't gonna be easy, is it? Turning an intelligence officer against his own country well, that's the most delicate and uncertain work there is.
But he will turn, won't he? You do have the advantage over him? Honestly, I don't know.
Turning touches the stubbornness in some people.
He's a stubborn man to begin with.
Out.
- Hi, Mom.
- Hey.
- What's going on? - I need your help.
- With what? Everything okay? - Yeah.
What's that? A name change application? I can't be Dana Brody anymore.
Dana.
I already made an appointment at the courthouse.
What are you gonna change your name to? Lazaro.
My maiden name? Is that a problem? When is your appointment? Well, they have an opening in, like, an hour actually.
Do you think that you could drive me? Please, Mom.
Where are you? At my place.
He wouldn't come with me.
Said it wouldn't fly with his guys.
Too risky.
So I set a meet for later.
- The plan was to bring him straight here.
- I know what the plan was, Saul.
But he had a legitimate problem with it, and I made a call in the moment.
Where did you take you? You don't know? We lost you.
We knew it could happen going in.
Move on, please.
Stone Hearth Country Club.
The northeast corner of the ninth green.
Get the drone over that address now.
Javadi could be anywhere by now.
He's gonna be where you left him.
I guarantee it.
He's had at least an hour without eyes on him.
Which he can't possibly know.
How did he react when you dropped the hammer on him? Thousand-yard stare for a few seconds.
Then he began to wriggle a little.
Reassert himself.
- He talked about you a little bit too.
- What did he say? Judging by the high-risk nature of this operation you don't seem to have changed.
What were the details of the meet you set? The 270, Exit 1 at 3:00 p.
m.
I'm to bring him the file on how we hunted down his network.
Okay.
We'll get on that.
We'll doctor one up.
Drone is now over the golf course.
- See anything? - No, it's very still.
Nobody's outside the house.
I can't see inside.
You've gotta get eyes on Javadi.
Boots on the ground.
We cannot afford to spook him or alert his men.
Not gonna happen.
Well, how can we be sure he's still there? I know this man.
Survival's the only thing on his mind right now.
He will not take any unnecessary risks with his life.
You don't think he could have changed a little since you last saw him? He will keep that meeting with you.
Till then you should get some sleep.
Quinn will deliver the file to you when it's ready and provide back-up at the meeting point.
I hope you're right about this, Saul.
I am.
Get some rest.
You deserve it.
- Mr.
Adal.
- Senator.
The director apologizes for not being here and has asked me to take the meeting for him.
- Lead the way.
- Here.
Where is the director? I'm afraid I don't know.
He chose not to share that with me.
Well, I for one am very glad to have this opportunity to visit with you, Mr.
Adal.
Thank you, Senator.
Likewise.
- May I speak plainly? - Of course.
The agency is a mess.
Okay.
As far as I can see, it's being driven into the fucking ground by poor decision-making and god-awful leadership.
The hope is that you are the reformer your record in the Senate and on the Select Committee would indicate.
So then you agree that change is in order, no matter how painful.
In light of the worst attack this agency has ever suffered, yes, I do.
How did this happen? The past is the past.
I'm more interested in what happens next.
What happens next is that we reclaim the respect and the fear that the world used to have for this agency's hard punch.
Reminiscent of some of the work you yourself have done in Somalia, in Libya, Uganda.
How can I be of service, Senator? My confirmation hearing is in 12 days.
I don't want any surprises on my first day as director.
No skeletons.
No unfinished business.
No more Sergeant Brodys.
No Carrie Mathisons.
God forbid.
- Yeah? - It's me.
I'm here, out back.
Hold on.
- You're early.
- Always good to have a cushion.
You get much sleep? Some.
What's the latest on Javadi? The drone picked up a car, a Buick headed for the golf course an hour after you called.
Have we actually seen if Javadi's still there? - No.
- Well, then that car doesn't mean shit.
You bring me the file? Yeah.
Verifiable electronic intelligence on how we hunted down those six targets.
No mention of sources or anything but enough to make the suits in Tehran know Javadi recruited the right girl.
If he shows.
Saul's convinced he will.
- I know what you're thinking.
- No, you don't.
Brody's America's most wanted man.
You're looking for possible sightings of him because it's your job.
New burner phone.
Give me your old one.
All right, let's go.
L-A-Z-A-R-O.
Lazaro.
And are we keeping the same first name? Yes.
How long does it take? Three to six weeks.
That'll be $41.
14 please.
I've got money.
Is that it? Just a signature here.
- Old name or new name? - Birth name, where it says "Applicant.
" Thanks.
You seem like a nice young lady.
Must have Mom to thank for that.
I just can't imagine what you all are going through.
Would you permit me to pray for you? Of course.
Thank you very much.
God bless.
Come on, let's go home.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
- Sit in the window so I can see you.
- Right.
Is Javadi moving yet? Nothing yet.
All quiet.
He's still in that house going through his options.
That's what I'd be doing.
- He's cutting it pretty fine.
- By being late, he's making a point.
Which is? "You have me over a barrel, but I'll never be your bitch.
" There's movement.
Something's happening.
That's him.
He's getting in the car.
He's heading west towards 270.
So far, so good.
I'd better take this.
Stand by, Carrie.
This is it.
Put him through.
- Saul.
- How was Lockhart? - Disappointed not to see you.
- I can imagine.
But I think we had a productive meeting.
Anything specific? No.
He's trying to get his bearings before the big day.
Of course he is.
Anxious for a smooth transition of power.
That's what he said? While remaining respectful of the work you've done.
Sir, we need you inside right away.
I gotta go.
He was headed south on 270, but he got off Exit 9.
- Where's Carrie again? - Exit 1.
- Maybe he needs gas.
- Apparently not.
Carrie? I need you on the beltway, heading north to intercept.
Now.
Copy that.
He's turning east onto Mulberry Road.
He's cruising a residential area.
Small streets, lots of trees.
Run a check to see what, if any, Iranian-Americans live in the area.
- Racial profiling by neighborhood? - FBI calls it domain management.
- I'll check their database.
- I can do that.
You stay on Javadi.
He's slowing down to almost crawl now.
What the hell is he looking for? He stopped.
1426 Longhill Road.
belongs to Vincent D.
Carlyle who rents it out through ACB Property Management.
Well, who's the tenant? The house was rented out by Susan Roberts, CPA with Brown and Getz in Annandale.
Wait.
Roberts is not her married name.
The lease was originally co-signed by her ex-husband Nasser Javadi.
They have a two-year-old son, Behrouz.
- Where are you Carrie? - Just passed Exit 8, five minutes out.
He's getting out of the car.
He cannot go inside that house.
You must stop him going in that house.
Do you copy? Copy that.
For Christ's sake, Carrie, hurry.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Can I help you? Do you know who I am? Fariba's ex-husband.
Yes, Majid, and you must be Susan.
Is that my grandson, Behrouz? May I come in and say hello? - Would you mind waiting just a second? - Of course.
Susan, do you want me to take Behrouz to the park? Hello, Fariba.
No! No! You betrayed us! You betrayed us! Stop or I shoot.
Show me your hands.
Someone talk to me.
Now I'm ready to see Saul.
Oh, Jesus.
One of you tell me please what the fuck is happening.
He shot his daughter-in-law in the head and then he - There's two fatalities and a lot of blood.
- Who's the second fatality? Hold on.
Who's she? Tell Saul it's my ex-wife.
Fariba.
He took a bottle to her neck.
He killed her with a fucking bottle.
Fariba.
What's she doing there? She's meant to be in Witness Protection in California.
It's a fucking bloodbath, Saul.
Get him out of there as fast as possible.
Get the murder weapon, understand? Jesus fucking Christ.
- Do you understand? - Yeah, I understand.
Leave your car.
Bring him here in his car.
We'll get yours later.
You were never there.
Follow the procedure.
Check for security cameras, et cetera.
There's a baby.
What do we do about the baby? - Leave it.
- What? We can't do that.
You can't take the baby.
You weren't there.
Sweetheart, it's okay.
It's okay.
Come here.
Come here.
Yeah.
We got to get out of here.
Dana Lazaro.
- It sounds pretty cool.
- It kind of does, doesn't it? I'll get it.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm a friend of Dana's.
Angela.
Angela.
Do you want to come in? Dana.
Are you hungry? I'm just here, you know, to pick her up.
Where you guys going? Like, camping? No, Mom.
I'm moving.
To Angela's.
Okay, no, you're not.
I don't even know Angela.
No offense.
- Maybe I should wait in the car.
- I think that's a good idea.
I'll be out in a minute.
What, you were just going to sneak out? I told you, Mom.
I can't be Dana Brody anymore.
Right.
And we went to the courthouse and we filled out all those forms.
It's not just about my name.
You can't suddenly just leave.
- It's not sudden.
- For you, maybe.
You've been thinking about it, obviously, but you never told me.
- You told Angela, whoever that is.
- She's my friend.
Don't take it out on her.
Dana, we haven't even talked about this.
There's no point in talking about this, because there's nothing to talk about.
Mom I can't live this life anymore.
I just can't.
I mean, it nearly killed me.
I've got to leave.
Oh, God.
I love you so much.
I love you too.
I'm gonna go now, okay? Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Dana, wait.
There's still $300 left on that.
Mom, no.
Please take it.
I need to do this on my own.
You don't have to use it.
Just take it.
Bye.
Bye.
Looks like they beat us to it.
Someone must have called it in before we could get here.
Got a homicide squad already in overdrive over here.
Keep moving.
Don't stop.
Hands.
This is just the fucking beginning.
You okay? I don't know what I am.
Shall we? Take the chains off.
Stand up.
Saul.
You don't look like a man who's just landed the biggest asset of his career.
