a body on university campus.
Let's pack up, go to a
hotel near the airport,
stay in the room until
the flight leaves.
Just before the flight,
text Banir from Aasim's phone,
Aasim says he's been
detained by security.
What about Michelle?
Are you gonna tell Michelle?
What did she ask?
Did she say anything about me?
- No.
- Don't tell her how the story ends.
Flight 418 now boarding at gate seven.
Flight 418 now boarding at gate seven.
I am Dr. Cornel.
- Dr. Cornel.
- Yes.
- Julian Cornel?
- Yes.
I am Mbui. So glad you could come.
I'll take you to Dr. Wangari's office.
Where is Aasim?
He is coming.
Flight 273 now arriving.
When did Mr. Ali Hariri
have his last transfusion?
Three days ago.
- When is he scheduled for another?
- Three days.
Here at the clinic?
Saeed Ali Hariri is being
treated at his own residence.
- I will see him here.
- Dr. Cornel,
you were given letter
with all explained.
- We wrote this.
- I am just double checking.
Al-Hariri is not able
to leave his residence.
You requested additional
payment in the light of this.
Of course. Let me go through everything
tonight. These are for me, correct?
Then tomorrow I will visit
Mr. Ali Hariri at his residence.
- Will you be coming, doctor?
- Dr. Wangari will not be able to join us.
I'll pick you up at
the hotel, 4:
00 p.m.All right, I'll give you
750 for the Jericho,
- 900 for the glock.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 1150 for the glock.
- 1150?
- Yeah.
- Okay, just stop.
Here's what we do. 900...
900 for the Jericho...
- No, no, no, no, no.
- ...950 for the glock.
All right? No, that's fair.
No, no, no, no,
it's not fair, it's not fair.
Mbui.
Come, come. Come, come.
Closer, closer, closer.
Aasim is missing.
Abdi is dead. If there is a traitor
among us, I will find him.
Is it you? Is it you?
- 800, 900.
- No.
No? All right, look, this is 2,000 Euros
right here. 2,000 Euros right here, okay?
Don't underestimate me.
I have survived much more than this.
I went shopping at the market.
A Jericho 941...
and a glock.
How much?
2,000 Euros.
You got took.
Well, we've got Euros to spare.
Do you smell something?
Mombasa.
The other night when we were in the park
in Bucharest, I touched your jacket.
You were wearing this...
this blue, like canvas jacket,
but when I touched it,
it... it felt just like dog fur.
Isn't it strange when you can't
even trust your own fingers?
And don't ask me how I feel.
I wouldn't think of it.
Crock.
Evan.
Crock is... gun.
No way I'll be able to bring
a gun with me tomorrow.
Mbui frisked me today.
He'll frisk me again tomorrow.
Well, how do you plan to do it?
It's been so long, thought about
it so long, I'm not sure.
Maybe I'll just let the
moment guide me.
I've got a syringe and medication.
One's quick and painless,
the other's a strychnine derivative...
excruciating, takes over an hour.
Or maybe I'll just
get up close to him,
slice him and let his
blood wash all over me.
I don't feel comfortable
letting you go in there alone.
- I'll be all right.
- Look, I... I picked this up at the market.
They're wireless crazy over here.
Jumped straight from tom-toms to cellphones.
Just tuck that in somewhere, I'll be able
to hear you and I'll get G.P.S. as well.
I brought a belt blade. I'll be able to
get that through, but that's about it.
- So that's that then?
- Yeah.
Milt... Thanks for coming along.
No problem, old sport.
If I'm not out in an hour,
do whatever you want.
Please.
- Did you sleep well?
- All right.
Sometimes the heat is a problem.
Come, doctor.
Open the briefcase.
Dr. Cornel.
Salaam Alaikum.
Salaam Alaikum, Saeed Ali Hariri.
Dr. Cornel, thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Forgive me for not...
standing.
Mbui, some tea.
- And those... those dates.
- Mind if I sit?
Oh, please.
your records, your treatment history.
Last night I was in contact with
several of my colleagues. Thank you.
I noticed you were scheduled three
months ago for a bone marrow transplant,
but I found no record of the procedure.
Was there a problem with the donor?
- It was too dangerous.
- No sibling donor was possible,
no compatible cousins.
It is risky, but an unrelated
donor can be found
based on H.L.B. and D.R.
histocompatibility.
The university hospital can assist in finding
such a donor. We have a large database.
Should have been done before.
It is more...
dangerous now, but we have no choice.
At present, transplantation is the
only possible curative therapy.
And... It can be done here?
Yes.
Excuse me, I am not such a young man.
Where is the toilet?
Back and to the left.
- So sorry.
- Oh, please. Please.
There is a problem with the toilet.
Mbui.
It won't flush.
- You pulled the chain?
- I pulled the chain.
There is something stuck... in there.
I have to be honest.
Your condition is far
worse than I imagined.
Your long-term chances
for survival are not good.
Neither are your short-term chances.
In fact, they are quite hopeless.
It's because I'm not a doctor.
My name isn't Julian Cornel...
and your name isn't Ali Hariri.
Your name... is Muhammad Banir.
Mr. Ruchowski.
Evan Lake.
- Mbui?
- He'll be all right.
Where is your backup?
Your elite commandos.
Oh. You came alone.
How did you find me?
Through the request for experimental
thalassemia medication, decitabine.
- Your family medical history.
- It was you.
You who sent me into hiding.
Even so for years and years
I live in rooms like this one.
both my ears for my freedom.
So my health...
- Is it really hopeless?
- Yes.
You would've died of anemia
just like your father.
He was an intellectual scholar.
I... I've read quite a bit myself.
Yeah.
So...
How are...
How are you going to kill me?
I-I... I don't know.
Good.
So...
We have some time.
Perhaps we can have that...
conversation that I wanted
to have that time years a-ago.
You... you only kept giving
me your fake name. Why?
- I was making a point.
- What point?
What is it that you do now?
This company?
Intelligence analyst, yes?
Perhaps you've read
some of my writings?
I didn't know you were still active.
Oh, I-I-I... I contribute.
A number of web sites
not under my name.
Of course, you are
religious man, Mr. Lake?
No, I'm not religious.
I think you are. America, yeah?
You see yourself as
a religion... America.
the American way of life.
Have you been to Greeley, Colorado?
- You know what I'm talking about?
- Sayyid Qutb...
Who went from Cairo to Colorado
state college in 1948.
He said Greeley was
like paradise on earth.
What Qutb saw was Jahiliyyah?
Decadence, promiscuity, pop music.
"Baby, it's cold outside."
Qutb was repulsed.
The-the... the flirting and
the mixing of men and women,
the disrespect... so no, he left.
Went back to Egypt and
the movement was born.
The Muslim brotherhood.
