Transcript
00:00This is Ayman Al-Zawahri, tell the Americans we can take on the United States.
00:25The war has only just begun.
00:28Can anybody else handle this device, said you?
00:31I said I locked it up, man.
00:33Okay.
00:34What exactly do you want from me?
00:35I definitely want us to be more than buddies.
00:39You've been flagged for recent expense patterns.
00:41I'm having dinner and drinks with important people.
00:44You need to start living within your means.
00:45Sir, your card has been declined.
00:47Really?
00:48There is a chain of command by which decisions are made.
00:52Your boss has yet to learn this lesson.
00:55Use the chain of command.
00:56It exists for a reason.
00:58In other words, get the hell out of my office.
01:00Sanchez.
01:01You and Louie can go fuck yourselves.
01:02By the way, that open slot heading up the New York office, I just found out Louie Friese
01:08D.C. guy got the job.
01:10Sanchez.
01:11One of the best.
01:12Martin, you started this.
01:15Nobody else at the agency foresaw what's happening with Al Qaeda.
01:19You are the prophet.
01:21You have my undivided devotion, Martin.
01:24They sent a fucking cable saying that this guy is coming into our country, that he has
01:30a Saudi passport and a U.S. visa.
01:32Welcome to America, sir.
01:3353 people from the CIA have read it.
01:35We're not sharing this yet?
01:37Diane will tell us when we can share.
01:38I'm calling on you.
01:39There's a reason for the wall.
01:40There is a reason.
01:41There's a reason for the wall.
01:42There is a reason.
01:43They're here.
01:44They're here in America.
01:45We have no idea what we're up against.
01:58You are the one.
02:14I was young, but we didn't know we were in America, no one.
02:19Unbelievable.
02:20The world wasn't right.
02:23We didn't understand it.
02:25And you came from a poor country, but you don't forget that Egypt has a long history.
02:33When you were born, the first one had been killed in Palestine.
02:38We tried to fight, but the president of the country got hit by us.
02:43How was it supposed to be that the protection of the enemy was better than the defense of the Arabs?
02:50We didn't find anyone in it, except for ourselves.
02:55We are Muslims. We are Muslims who believed in their religion, both as an ideology and practice, and hence we tried our best to establish this Islamic state and Islamic society.
03:20We have sacrificed, and we are still ready for more sacrifices.
03:25Now, I took Afghanistan to me.
03:29We have to fight for this too.
03:32And we managed that.
03:34And we went to heaven!
03:35This is also that.
03:38We did not leave the war, but we failed them in the world.
03:40We had a number of people, but we fought them for the one who killed Allah for us.
03:47We took our experience in the world.
03:51We found our own way, and from here we will start our next region, from you and from you.
04:01To know our new generation, from us, from us, from us, from us, from us, from us, from us, from us, from us.
04:10We found our own way to the Jews of the Muslim earth.
04:19We found our own way, and we found our own way.
04:26We wanted our lives to happen easily, but we didn't have a idea of the highest rank of our power.
04:38الذي لا يخاف من الموت لن يموت أبدا
04:44مولانا
04:46أنت رجل شجاع وحكيم
04:50دار استرخنا كويس
04:52أنا عشته يا عطا
04:55عندنا مشكلة في أمريكا
05:01مهمتنا بتواجه صعوبات
05:04انت بتواجه قائد وزاكي
05:08your english is perfect
05:13no one is perfect
05:17I want to rely on you
05:22to fix things for us in America
05:25Dr. Zawari
05:28I'm at your service
05:30I will do all that I can
05:33what I can say
05:46I want you to normally
05:55I'm sorry.
05:56I'm sorry.
05:57I'm sorry.
06:25I'm sorry.
06:32I'm sorry.
06:40I'm sorry.
06:55This is the world you're dealing with.
07:24This potentially explosive, dangerous world.
07:28Your situation needs to be handled with discretion.
07:32So long as you're here, Alex Station's been left in good hands.
07:37I believe that.
07:40I was taught well.
07:43Let's examine.
07:45You've built an operation based outside this country.
07:48That's where all roads lead.
07:49Away from here?
07:50Southeast Asia.
07:51So take a step back and look at the intelligence structure that you've put together painstakingly.
07:58Should you hand over the keys to this house so soon after its construction?
08:01Do you allow others to unlock doors, poke around, remove posts and beams, collapse the intricate structure that you've erected?
08:11This is a decision you need to make.
08:15You have the clarity of mind and sense of purpose to arrive at the right choice.
08:19Are you writing a book?
08:48I'm not sure yet what it is.
08:52Maybe, maybe a book.
08:55Can I ask what it's about?
09:00I try to follow Samuel Clemens' dictum of right what you know.
09:05I don't know much, but what I do know, I know well.
09:07You know me better than anyone ever has.
09:09Can I ask what you know, I need to be perfectly honest.
09:22It's okay, I shouldn't.
09:23No.
09:23I'm sorry.
09:24No.
09:24Will you please?
09:25Nothing.
09:53Still nothing.
09:54She's probably trying to get some answers for you.
09:57Really?
09:58You think?
09:59Could be.
10:00I don't know why you keep assuming the worst in people.
10:03I think we saw something we weren't supposed to see.
10:05I think we saw something we were supposed to see.
10:20How do you say cunt in Arabic?
10:24She wants you in her office in three minutes.
10:43Oh, three minutes?
10:46Not two?
10:48Not four?
10:48She said three.
10:53Come.
10:57You want her to see?
10:58Close the door.
11:07You are, at times, on the receiving end of classified intelligence.
11:11More than 50 people inside Langley know about Midhart.
11:13You need to understand something.
11:15And I want you to understand it deeply and clearly.
11:18You are never the decider of what to do with that intelligence.
11:22You may recall a night when you endeavored to remove classified materials from this office.
11:28The professor was forgiving enough not to prosecute you.
11:32I am not so forgiving.
11:33When you receive classified intelligence, either by happenstance or by design, if you reveal
11:42that intelligence to anyone outside this station, intelligence that I have not personally cleared,
11:48I will see to it that you are handcuffed, that you are escorted from this building,
11:53that you are imprisoned and tried for theft and treason.
11:57Now get the fuck out of my office and close the door behind you.
12:02Come on, close the door behind you.
12:32Vince, thanks for coming by.
12:48Good to see you.
12:49Found it finally.
12:50You've been up there before.
12:51I've never been upstairs.
12:53They keep us squirreled away in the basement.
12:55This whole visitor deal between the agency and the bureau.
12:59There's a reason we call it the hostage exchange program.
13:04Can I get you a drink?
13:06Oh, uh...
13:07We just put in a long day keeping America safe.
13:10I think we deserve a scotch.
13:12Yes?
13:13Uh, sure.
13:15Has been a long day.
13:16Okay.
13:18You married, Vince, in a relationship?
13:22Uh, not married.
13:24In a, you know, relationship or two.
13:29I remember those days.
13:32Makes it easier.
13:36I'm not following.
13:38Oh, right.
13:39Now, let me back up.
13:41I'm trying to make some changes at Alex Station,
13:45and one of them is making sure that as many operations as possible
13:48are done hand in hand with the bureau.
13:50The best work between the agency and the FBI is done on the ground,
13:53out in the field.
13:54And I hate to see an experienced agent like you
13:57stuck in a windowless cubicle day after day.
14:00Especially one who speaks...
14:02How many languages?
14:03Three?
14:04Four, actually.
14:05Well, including English.
14:08Well, French, Spanish...
14:10And Italian.
14:11Impressive.
14:12We have an operation in Morocco next week.
14:20Now, I would be happy to reach out to your boss,
14:22but maybe you should talk to him yourself.
14:26What do you think?
14:28Well, so...
14:33So, I wouldn't be the responsible liaison anymore
14:36between Alec and I-49.
14:38You would gather intel firsthand in the field
14:40and pass it directly to the bureau.
14:46Well, uh...
14:49I'll tell you the honest-to-God truth.
14:51I'd love to get the hell out of this office.
14:54You know, travel a bit, get back to what I used to do.
14:57I'd like that for you, too.
15:02We've reached an understanding?
15:05I love you, too.
15:06I want to know.
15:07Wie?
15:08I want to know, stay here, too.
15:11Let's go.
15:13Most people will review a optic subcursum.
15:16I want to know!
15:17I want to know...
15:19I want to know.
15:19Maybe I want to know!
15:20It's gonna need 1965 to the MCU.
15:21I want to have some open doorboxes to the운 einer wedding,
15:23and I want to see it so far before her.
15:24They don't need them, mana questions!
15:25Altars, I want to know!
15:26Weg devem!
15:27We have to know in the past,
15:28Is it the owner of Venturea?
15:30I want to know!
15:31They would never need to be Real긴!
15:32He is huis anytime!
16:34Sure, sure. Of course.
16:36Listen, these are for you.
16:38Welcome to Gotham.
16:40I want to say,
16:41you know I've had my differences with Director Free.
16:44On occasion, with you two.
16:46But I hope we can make a fresh start.
16:48Bury the hatchet.
16:50I want you to know that I'm here to support you.
16:51I'm on your team.
16:53You tell me what you need.
16:55I appreciate that, John.
16:56I really do.
16:58And I'm glad you stopped by.
17:00Would you sit for a sec?
17:02Yeah.
17:03Yeah.
17:05A couple of things.
17:06As you can imagine,
17:10I've been briefed on the ongoing investigation into your finances.
17:14I hope you will continue to cooperate.
17:16Yes, of course.
17:18On an unrelated note,
17:20it's come to my attention
17:21that you're nearing your 25th year at the Bureau.
17:24This is an unrelated note?
17:31It's standard procedure.
17:33Mandatory for anybody coming up on their 25th year.
17:36You learn the pension benefits,
17:38health care,
17:39a little financial planning advice,
17:41and you get a free trip to Florida.
17:44You know, there's several guys
17:45who are a lot older than me
17:47floating around the office.
17:48And they're going to get their days as well.
17:49But this week is for you.
17:51Things are pretty busy this week.
17:52It's mandatory.
17:58All right.
17:59I can visit Space Mountain.
18:01Whatever works for you.
18:08It's good talking to you.
18:10Welcome to New York.
18:11My rent's on the promotion.
18:12See you at the end of the week.
18:13John,
18:15I appreciate the gift.
18:17I really do, but I don't smoke.
18:19You'll get more used out of these than I will.
18:22I'm not replacing these
18:28with a heart-shaped box of chocolates
18:30if that's what you're looking for.
18:32Understood.
18:32I don't eat much chocolate anyway.
18:36Bet you don't.
18:37And John,
18:38those aren't Cubans, are they?
18:40Because last I checked,
18:41it's like we still have an embargo with Castro.
18:43No clue.
18:45I was re-gifting.
18:45So the good news for y'all,
19:02given that you've passed that 20-year mark,
19:04given that you're coming up on year 25,
19:06yay,
19:07is that you're moving from the possibility
19:09of half-pay retirement
19:11into three-quarters pay,
19:13which is as high as you're gonna get.
19:15Y'all have reached the mountaintop, people.
19:18Enjoy the view.
19:20Also completely separate.
19:21Hey, guess you know what's done packing.
19:24Packing?
19:24Packing for what?
19:26Oh, you shut up.
19:27You know for what.
19:28And I'm gonna get there in New York City,
19:29and I'm gonna break out my stash
19:31of Victoria's Secret,
19:32and I'm gonna blow your freaking mind.
19:36Wait, is it Mom?
19:38Jimmy, you're disgusting.
19:41Don't you pretend you don't know who this is.
19:43Don't you pretend you haven't been
19:45crying yourself to sleep every night
19:47just waiting for me to get there.
19:49I hope you're clearing space
19:51in your dresser for my new panties.
19:53Oh, uh...
19:54Don't worry.
19:56They're teeny, teeny tiny, Johnny.
19:58Darling, listen, I got you a sweet apartment
20:00for the time being.
20:01You what?
20:03I thought I was moving in with you.
20:05No, no, not just yet.
20:05Not right now.
20:06I got some linguists staying with me.
20:08You what?
20:09Some linguists.
20:10Doing some translating.
20:28Security, I need to talk to security.
20:53Yes, sir.
20:54Can I ask your room?
20:55Now!
20:56Yes, sir.
20:57Um, yes, we need someone
20:58at the front desk right away.
21:00Okay, thank you.
21:05Three hours.
21:07It's out of my hands for three hours.
21:09Okay.
21:11I found it in a dumpster around back.
21:13So what's missing?
21:16Uh, cash, 500 bucks, cigar cutter.
21:19The gold one?
21:20Yeah.
21:20And what about the classified papers?
21:24Uh, all there.
21:27But...
21:29What?
21:31Nothing.
21:32It seems like they weren't messed with.
21:35It seems like...
21:37simple robbery.
21:39Well, there's no way to tell for sure.
21:41No.
21:41So...
21:47Do I tell him?
21:56Um, John, I'm an English professor.
22:00I'm not...
22:01You're an ethical person.
22:02You're a logical thinker.
22:03Help me out.
22:03No.
22:03Okay.
22:14I think there are two issues.
22:17The first is the moral one.
22:19You broke the rules,
22:20so you decide whether it's important
22:22to turn yourself in.
22:25The second issue...
22:27What if something happens
22:28as a result of the documents being read?
22:30They weren't taken, but...
22:33They might have been read.
22:37I don't know what's in them, but...
22:39I assume they're classified for a reason.
22:45Am I right?
22:50John.
22:50Thanks for coming in.
23:12Go ahead, Mike.
23:17We've dusted the entire case inside now.
23:21Several distinct identifiable fingerprints
23:23on the exterior,
23:24including yours, Mr. O'Neill,
23:26your secretaries,
23:27two members of the hotel security staff,
23:30and one other we didn't have in the database.
23:33As for the classified documents,
23:34we found two sets of prints,
23:36yours and your secretaries.
23:40I looked at the forensics
23:41and the criminal report,
23:43and we feel it's safe to assume
23:45that this is a simple case of robbery.
23:47Oh.
23:48Oh.
23:48Oh, God.
23:51Oh, thank you.
23:52Oh.
23:54All right.
23:55All right.
23:55Well, I hope we can...
23:56I hope we can put this to bed now
23:58and move on.
23:59Keep it internal,
24:00within the New York office.
24:09John,
24:10can you tell us
24:12what happened a few months ago
24:14with your Palm Pilot?
24:16Excuse me?
24:18It's come to our attention
24:19that it was out of your possession
24:21for a period of time
24:22and that it was returned to you
24:23by a D.C. transit cop.
24:25Who brought it to your attention?
24:26That's not important.
24:28It's important to me.
24:29It's my personal device.
24:31It's none of your business
24:32whether it was out of my possession.
24:33I think it's fairly clear
24:35that given what was in your briefcase,
24:36you're not terrific
24:37at separating the professional
24:38from the personal.
24:41Mike's gonna have to inspect it.
24:44Make sure there's no classified contacts.
24:46Determine whether anything
24:47was electronically copied.
24:48Have fun.
25:02You done with this?
25:05Yes, sir.
25:06You sure?
25:07You sure?
25:08Yes, sir.
25:18Nice shoes, man.
25:22What the fuck?
25:23Boss wasn't crazy
25:24about what I was wearing before.
25:25A pair of gamos, dude?
25:26Moving furniture?
25:28Yeah.
25:28They're weirdly comfortable.
25:30Tell me about it.
25:31I got six pair.
25:34I was working a day.
25:36I didn't have time
25:37to change into my designer track suit
25:40and air pippins.
25:41Oh, shit.
25:42You busting on me,
25:43you little bitch?
25:44Finally get a day off Langley.
25:45You're busting my chops
25:46about my clothes.
25:47Oh, it's a good look.
25:49Works for you.
25:50Fucking right it does.
25:51And they're pipping twos,
25:52you cocksucker.
25:53Oh, my God, you guys.
25:54Thank you so much.
25:55You're the greatest.
25:56It's one slight up
25:57on the right-hand side.
25:58Johnny was supposed to be here.
26:00I don't know where he is.
26:02Yeah?
26:02Yeah.
26:09John!
26:12Oh, you're here.
26:13You're here.
26:14Hey, baby.
26:16Oh, I'm just doing that.
26:17I missed you.
26:18I missed you.
26:18Oh, I missed you.
26:20I missed you so much.
26:22You're not even tan.
26:23Were you in Florida?
26:24Oh, yeah, yeah.
26:24Oh, God, I missed you.
26:26How are you?
26:27I'm perfect.
26:28Everything's perfect.
26:30Especially now.
26:32Tim, now the Laird's
26:33have become the second catcher
26:34on this ball club.
26:35Elaine.
26:36Hey, Elaine.
26:37Hey, turn this bullshit off.
26:38What do you got the Mets playing?
26:39You're in Manhattan, Gordon.
26:41We watched the Yankees in Manhattan.
26:43You tell them, Elaine.
26:44Get yourself to Flushing, you want the Mets.
26:46Yeah, I might just go to Flushing.
26:48Cheaper beers there, that's for sure.
26:49Then, of course, you walk outside,
26:51you're on Flushing.
26:52I thought you said
26:59his girlfriend's name was Liz.
27:00The one I met was named Liz.
27:04Are they still together?
27:05No, no, no.
27:07What does that mean?
27:08It means I work with a guy.
27:10I don't question his personal life.
27:14You spend most of your time with them.
27:16You travel with them.
27:17Yeah, Heather, I love these guys.
27:19I trust them with my life.
27:20But we don't, we're not the same.
27:23We don't all want the same things.
27:25So tell me.
27:27Tell you what?
27:27Tell me what you want.
27:30See?
27:32Blonde girl?
27:33That blonde girl.
27:34Well, not too many of those in Beirut.
27:36Not too many Arabs in small town Ohio.
27:39So we're both exotics.
27:41I'm attracted to the difference.
27:43I can admit it.
27:45Okay.
27:46Well, that's not what really draws me in.
27:51What draws you in?
27:53Where we connect.
27:55Where's that?
27:58Here.
28:01And here.
28:04And there.
28:05No, I'm telling you, I miss it.
28:08Really?
28:09All the time.
28:10Off state of New York?
28:11Yeah.
28:11What the hell is there to do up there?
28:13What is there to do?
28:14Well, I used to fish.
28:16I mean, there's a beautiful stream down the hill from my house.
28:19I'd camp on the weekends.
28:20Like out in the woods?
28:22Yeah, out in the woods.
28:23Like sleeping on the ground in the woods.
28:24Yeah.
28:25What, you've never gone camping?
28:27No, buddy, I have not.
28:28I will take you camping sometime.
28:30Oh, no, Floyd.
28:31You and I love it.
28:31No, I'm from Queens.
28:33We don't do woods.
28:38I guess they think I'm doing a good job.
28:41So they want to move me up.
28:42Make me operational.
28:44I'm telling you, boss.
28:45If it's cool with you, it'd be great to get out of that office.
28:49Fucking Alex Station, man.
28:50It's like toxic down there.
28:54Like they...
28:54Shut up.
28:56What?
28:57Shut the fuck up.
28:58Get out of your fucking mind.
29:01Boss, I think, and they think, I could actually be more effective.
29:05They don't want to send you abroad because they value you.
29:10They want you overseas so you trip over your own balls.
29:13So that if something goes wrong, they can blame it on you.
29:20Hey.
29:22What are you talking about?
29:25Come on, who are you to them?
29:28You're me.
29:31You're my eyes and my ears.
29:33That's why they don't want you over there.
29:36Because I trust you to tell me what's going on in that basement.
29:41To get your hands on the intel, pass it on to me so I can act on it.
29:45They want you gone so they don't have to deal with me.
29:55I understand.
29:57You understand?
29:58I do.
30:01I understand.
30:05Vince.
30:07They're on me.
30:08It's like they're trying to force me out.
30:14Why?
30:15I don't know.
30:17What's going on?
30:18I don't fucking know.
30:22You get your ass on that train tomorrow morning, go back to Virginia and do your job.
30:26You do your job.
30:32You find out what they know and tell me.
30:34You do your job.
30:36You find out what they know and tell me.
30:38You find out what they know and tell me.
30:43You find out what they know and tell me.
31:11Yes, look, look at this!
31:13I was very happy, you're here!
31:16How was your life?
31:20Are you ready to go?
31:22Yes, well, let's go!
31:24How was your life?
31:29How was your life?
31:31Was your own journey I was a good one?
31:34Yes.
31:35It was?
31:41Oh, my God.
32:11Oh, hey, hey, hey.
32:29Come here.
