Eye in the Sky Page #2

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Did you go to the game?

- I was busy.

You might still make it.

What have

we got here?

Tracking some

extremists in Nairobi.

One guy's from

my hometown.

You're kidding.

Serious?

- Yup. Uh-huh.

- Is that him?

Muhammad Abdisalaam,

Somali.

A lot of them there.

Well, let's hope

he's not coming back.

- Yeah. Have a good shift.

- Thanks.

(VAN DOOR OPENS)

- DRIVER:
Thank you.

- Mmm-hmm.

What's going on?

We've got Condor

in the Blue Zone.

Who the f***

is Condor?

The second guy in

from the airport.

I can't keep up

with these names.

Showman 5-0, can we get

a view into the house?

Peg 9-0, Showman 5-0,

can you try and look into the house?

Moving now.

(SIGHS)

Showman 50, would you

like us to bring in Ringo?

Negative. Wait for

number three to arrive.

(BOTH SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

We have movement.

COLONEL POWELL:
Damn it.

Are they leaving?

Where are Danford

and Al-Hady?

Colonel, our intelligence only has

them arriving in another half hour.

Well, then our

intelligence is bad.

MOSES:
Load up!

(VEHICLE ENGINES STARTING)

North 2-0, Showman 5-0,

I have my men ready. Do we go in?

No, no, no. No, Major, please.

Hold your men. I want Danford.

Copy. Halt! Hold up!

SOLDIER:
Halt!

Bravo 2-7,

follow if they leave.

COLONEL POWELL:

Hawaii 5, confirm PID.

Roger, North 2-0.

I'd like to be closer.

COLONEL POWELL:
Peg 9-0,

go closer for PID.

GALVEZ:
North 2-0, Hawaii 5

confirms positive IDs on

Muhammad Abdisalaam

and Rasheed Hamud.

COLONEL POWELL:

Roger that.

- COLONEL POWELL: Who's that?

- Zoom in.

Is that Danford?

I need a PID.

Sh*t.

Damn it. Is that her,

or does Ahmed have a wife?

I'm sorry,

Colonel, we don't know.

No, not good

enough, people.

It has to be her.

Why didn't we know

she was already in the house?

Movers, say intentions.

- Stay on PAX.

- LIEUTENANT WATTS: Copy.

Bravo 2-7 following.

Hawaii 5, I want a PID on that woman

as soon as we get a visual.

Yes, ma'am.

LIEUTENANT WATTS:

Zoom out.

MOSES:

North 2-0. Showman 5-0.

Looks like they're heading

towards Eastleigh.

So, how do we launch a ground

assault if she's going in there?

MOSES:
We can't.

Al-Shabab controls that neighborhood.

It would trigger

a massacre.

All right. All right, just...

Just stay with her.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER CONTINUES)

(HONKING)

Showman 50, Bravo 27.

It's too risky to follow.

MOSES:
Return to base.

COLONEL POWELL:
Showman 5-0,

do we know this house?

MOSES:
It belongs

to Amadu Mukhtar.

He's a Somali trader,

but there is no other intel on him.

(BEEPING)

Oh, sh*t.

Hawaii 5, North 2-0.

Did you see anything there?

- No, ma'am.

- Sh*t.

Showman 5-0,

we need an eye inside that house.

I have to know if Danford is inside,

and who is with her.

Ma'am, it would mean putting

a man in the street,

and you'd have to get close

to control the beetle.

It would easily

raise suspicion.

What, even if you

use a Somali?

Every stranger is

suspicious, even a Somali.

Moses, we both believe that Danford

is inside that house, do we not?

Yes, ma'am.

And I cannot authorize a

strike without a positive ID.

I believe we have to accept

the risk and send someone in.

Moses, can you do it?

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

Appreciate what you're doing.

Peg 9-0, Showman 5-0.

I need you to engage Ringo

at the target house.

We need a positive ID.

(HONKING LOUDLY)

(VENDOR SHOUTING)

Okay.

- Thanks, man.

- Mmm-hmm.

What?

(BOTH SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

Alia.

Alia.

What's that?

(CAR HONKS)

(BOTH SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(FLIES BUZZING)

COLONEL POWELL:
Get Ringo around the

other side to identify the woman.

That's Danford.

Hawaii 5, confirm PID, please.

PID, Susan Helen Danford.

(SIGHS)

We have Danford.

But we can't enter

the militia-controlled area.

No.

What's the plan, General?

Well, using the Reaper,

we have the ability

to strike a target with

considerable accuracy.

If you agree, Minister,

we could eliminate her.

Absolutely not!

Ma'am, she's a

member of Al-Shabab

and number four on our East

African Most Wanted list.

I don't care about

your list, General.

I came here to

witness a capture,

not a targeted

assassination.

George.

Yes, I'm sorry, Frank.

I agree with Angela.

The idea was to capture

Danford, not kill her.

This was the mission

approved by the PM.

And, as Attorney General,

that is what I came here to witness.

We want her brought back to

this country to stand trial.

Right.

I'll put that to

Colonel Powell.

(BEEPS)

What's happening?

I don't know.

LIEUTENANT WATTS:

Hey, Matt, what's going on?

We got a beetle

inside that house,

and we're seeing a bunch

of people we don't like.

That's him. That's her husband.

Hawaii 5, confirm.

Showman 5-0,

we've got them both.

MOSES:
Yes, ma'am.

This is wonderful.

I need Peg 9-0 to take me

into the other rooms.

(BOTH SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

Sh*t.

LEVERY:
Oh, f***, man.

- F***. F***.

- Matt, what's happening?

We're seeing suicide vests and a

whole bunch of f***ing explosives

inside that house.

Well, this changes things.

All right. Keep it calm, okay?

Don't wind up my pilot.

COLONEL POWELL:
I want legal

in here right now.

GLEESON:
Yes, ma'am.

They're gonna

make a suicide video.

Who is that, Colonel?

Looks like Osman Abade.

He supplied the explosives

in the Lamu bombing.

(PHONE RINGING)

GENERAL BENSON:
(ON PHONE)

What's the plan, Katherine?

We need to put a Hellfire

through that roof right now.

I told you, they came to

witness a capture, not a kill.

Give me a capture option.

COLONEL POWELL:
We no longer

have a capture option.

Any action on the ground will

lead to an armed confrontation,

which we will not

be able to contain.

They're watching.

Even with the vests,

we need their approval for a strike.

Just tell them we've got

Danford in our sights.

I mean, that alone should

justify using a Hellfire.

The vests are just a bonus.

Danford's a British citizen.

They want her alive.

They cannot have her alive!

Frank, I've tracked

her for six years.

This is the closest

I've ever got.

So, we need to expand our

rules of engagement right now

to protect the

civilian population.

A Hellfire through

that roof is our

most effective option.

We have to know that we're

legally in the clear.

Yes. Yes, of course.

I'm getting into that right now.

(BOTH SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

HAROLD:
Colonel?

- Oh, Harold, you've been following?

- Yes, ma'am.

So, the plan is

to put a Hellfire

through the roof

of that house.

I need legal

clearance right now.

- A missile from the Reaper?

- Yes.

So, this is no longer

a capture situation.

No. We have two suicide vests with

explosives inside that house.

So, can you clear

me to a higher CDE?

HAROLD:
Uh...

Harold, this is a very time-sensitive target.

Do I have authority to strike?

The rules of engagement

you're operating under

only allow for a low
