WOMAN:

Slewing to 2.5.

[BRAKES SQUEALING]

SKIP:
There it is. That's it.

That's the safe house.

Come on.

[CROWD CHATTERING IN ARABIC]

- What do you wanna do with this guy?

FERRIS:
Just watch.

SKIP:
Watch him and what else?

FERRIS:
Nothing else.

I'm not sure about this GID surveillance.

- I can't see any of Hani's guys.

- Well, I've spotted a few so far.

You see the two by the doorway there

in front of the safe house?

There's one more selling radios.

And there's one behind me

with a striped shirt.

That's what I've clocked so far.

Who's this? Who just sat down?

That's one of our guys.

- One of your guys? What do you...?

- A station asset.

Zayed Ibishi.

He's one of our contacts

from the Palestinian camps.

Station asset, huh?

What the f*** is he doing

making contact right now?

- And how come I don't know about this?

- I don't know. I don't know.

FERRIS:
If he makes that jihadist suspicious,

they will shut down that house and leave.

- He's gonna get that guy killed.

- He's gonna blow this whole operation.

Not again. F***ing Hoffman!

[SHOUTING IN ARABIC]

- Oops.

MAN:
Continue tracking.

Area expanded.

WOMAN:

Tracking.

[JIHADIST SHOUTING IN ARABIC]

FERRIS:

Head him off! Head him off!

WOMAN:
Going down the alley.

MAN:
Adjusting coverage.

Boost image factor.

[KIDS CHATTERING IN ARABIC]

WOMAN:
Switching to SAR.

MAN:
Stay with sweep.

WOMAN:
Hold image?

MAN:
Image locked.

[DOGS BARKING]

FERRIS:

Ah!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[KNIFE STABS AND JIHADIST YELLS]

[FERRIS SCREAMS]

[DOG WHIMPERING]

[YELLING]

FERRIS:

Skip. I got him.

I need you to come pick me up, all right?

I got bit by f***ing diseased dogs,

goddamn it.

I'm by the clearing.

Yeah, just look out for me.

[CAR HORNS HONKING]

[BRAKES SQUEALING]

You gotta be kidding me.

Come on, take me to a real hospital.

- Take me to the embassy.

- That's like an hour.

Rabies around here is no joke. You're gonna

need a jab in there, ASAP. Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's get you vaccinated. Aisha.

[BOTH SPEAK IN ARABIC]

AISHA [IN ARABIC]:

Let me see.

These are not bite wounds.

- A snowboarding accident.

- Snowboarding.

- Mm.

- You're accident prone, huh?

Well, I mean,

I'm sure it looks that way. Yeah.

Okay.

[FERRIS SIGHS]

Relax.

All right. Let me...

[IN ARABIC]

My father was Iranian.

I live in Amman now.

Okay.

This is going to hurt.

Mm. I don't like needles.

Just think about something else, hm?

[NEEDLE PRICKS]

[FERRIS GRUNTS]

AISHA:

Okay.

[FERRIS CHUCKLES]

This is the first of five anti-rabies injections

you'll need over the next month.

You don't need to come back here.

You can get them at any clinic.

One each week, right?

- So we're done?

- Yeah, we're done.

And someone will come

to bandage your wounds.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Thank you.

FERRIS:
You f***ing cocksucker. How did

you expect me to run an operation...

... when you're running a side operation

which fucks up my own?

Listen, you want me to run Amman,

let me run Amman, all right?

I have made promises to Hani Salaam.

Do you understand that?

Uh-huh. What's your point?

My point is, Ed, you can't pull

your normal bullshit here, all right?

- We have to respect what he wants.

- I do respect him. What kind of thing?

Look, you keep f***ing around like this, and

you are gonna blow this Amman operation.

- I love you. Bye.

- I love you too.

They'll vacate their only known safe house,

and we'll never hear from them.

- Do you understand?

- I'm just trying to back you up.

It's a dangerous,

dangerous world out there.

Well, don't back me up,

because I don't need it, all right?

- Hani.

- I gotta go deal with this Hani bullshit.

- So go f*** yourself.

- All right, whatever.

You ready to go?

Whatever.

[TIRES SCREECH]

Hani Pasha, if you would give me

an opportunity to ex...

Fortunately the safe house is still there.

As for the man you killed,

you were right.

You made a good decision.

The jihadists believe it was a robbery.

There are many robberies in that district.

So you have been very clever, my dear.

Well, that's good news, sir.

Listen, Ed Hoffman had...

I have spoken to Mr. Hoffman

very sharply.

Now, we will explain

the king's espionage laws to his agent.

[SWITCH LASHING

AND MAN SCREAMING]

I thought you didn't believe in torture,

Hani Pasha.

This is punishment, my dear.

It's a very different thing.

Keep watching.

Tell Edward what you have seen.

[CHURCH BELLS CHIMING]

[CROWD CHATTERING]

[CROWD SCREAMING]

REPORTER [ON TV]:

Another deadly attack on innocent civilians.

This time in one of Amsterdam's

most crowded tourist districts.

The images of the bombing were captured

on location surveillance cameras.

The blast felt for miles.

What was once a block-long farmer market

vibrant with color...

... is now in ruins and covered with ash.

[SPEAKS IN ARABIC]

[WOMAN SPEAKS IN ARABIC]

The exact number of casualties

is not yet known...

... as emergency crews

are still pulling victims from the rubble.

But officials are saying it will certainly be

in triple figures.

KLPD antiterror-unit investigators

have arrived...

... and are examining bomb fragments

in the hope of determining if this...

... and the other recent bombings on the

continent and in the UK are connected.

The consequence of a new bombing

will no doubt have a devastating effect...

... on Europe's tourist business.

Let's go now

to Amsterdam's chief of police.

CHIEF:
We will do whatever we can

to keep everyone safe...

... for you to live every day

without being afraid.

But we must be realistic.

Terrorist threats are real, present,

deadly and persistent.

- Good morning, sir.

- Good morning.

Where are we going?

We are going fishing.

Get in.

Since no credit was claimed

for the bombing...

...we believe it to be the work

of Al-Saleem.

That's his signature. Anonymity.

So, what we need is... May I say we?

Of course.

As long as we keep it between us.

We need a man inside the Amman cell.

We do. Yes.

And we shall have the man we need.

- How's that?

- Because you gave him to me.

His name is Mustafa Karami.

I've known him since he was a teenager...

... selling boom boxes

from the back of a stolen truck.

Now he's al Qaeda. In my country.

Watch and learn, my dear.

Watch and learn.

[GASPS]

[IN ARABIC]

KARAMI:

You did not think to tell Hani Salaam

you are a jihadist?

You have become a religious man, hm?

No longer a thief.

Can it be true?

Here.

[LINE RINGING]

Take the phone.

Take it and talk to your mother.

Talk.

WOMAN:
Hello? Hello?

- Hello.

[WOMAN SPEAKING IN ARABIC]

HANI:

His mother was in the Palestinian camps.

Now she has a fine apartment

and a beautiful garden.

She can watch the sun set over the hills.

She has a refrigerator, couch,

even a television set.

She will tell him she is proud of him, that

she always knew he would be a success...

...even when he was a little boy

in the refugee camps.

And now he has sent her money.
