Five Fingers Page #5

- Yes. Your friends.

- Our friends.

If they were our friends, Martijn,

I would know who they are.

Not necessarily.

You are lying.

I've only said this much

to convince you I'm not CIA.

- Then why did you not tell this to Ahmat?

- Because he'd never believe me.

- And I would?

- At least I can try.

I have taken your fingers.

I will do it again.

I have convictions, too.

Tell me what you have planned.

Tell me about your food programme.

Do it.

They have trained you well.

- Is that your friend?

- Yeah. What's wrong?

- You think he'll fund it?

- Your food programme?

Our food programme.

But I don't know nothing

about your food programme.

You know me.

And that's all I need to know.

We're gonna change the world.

I love you.

I love you, too.

What's that?

They can still be sewn back on.

It will require a fine surgeon,

but it is possible.

Why are you showing me this?

Because Aicha seems to think

that we are wrong about you.

So I made some inquiries.

She may be right.

Oh, thank God.

I thought you were an atheist.

It's only an expression.

If she is mistaken, I still have this.

I already told her the truth.

Protesting against the World Bank

proves nothing.

It could just be a part of your cover.

You're right, you're right.

Doesn't prove anything.

So tell me, Martijn,

why did you try to contact Hassan Fikri?

I can't tell you that.

I can only confirm what you already know.

What if I were to tell you

my own little secret?

What secret?

That I am Hassan Fikri.

Ja. Makes perfect sense.

- What do you mean?

- It's... It's safer to use an alias.

Yes, much safer.

And I'd heard rumours

that you were from Nigeria.

Rumours?

From who?

People in the network.

They suggested I call you,

but you weren't expecting my call.

No, I was not.

You didn't know who I was

so you needed to find out why I was calling.

Yes. Why were you calling me?

- You don't know? Not even now?

- Perhaps I do.

- You've made inquiries?

- Yes.

- Then you know who I am.

- I know who you might be.

- He needs confirmation.

- What kind of confirmation?

He needs to know

you are really who you claim to be.

There is a terrorist cell in Holland

that our network agreed to finance.

- Then you know how I got the money?

- No.

There was a miscommunication.

Yes, but now you know.

We know that it is possible.

Of course it's possible.

It's the f***ing truth.

- Convince us.

- Convince you of what?

That you are a part of the Dutch cell.

Okay.

What were you recruited to do?

I have friends in food distribution centres

across the EU.

They are willing to take action,

and the security is weak.

You have identified a target?

I'm going to poison fast food products.

American hamburgers, milkshakes,

French fries.

From the Leidseplein

to the Champs Elysees,

anyone who eats a Big Mac or a Happy Meal

will die within 24 hours.

So a few fat Americans

will have their potbellies incinerated.

A few? Try thousands if not

hundreds of thousands in one single day.

By the time they shut us down,

we will have killed

a hundred times more people

than Osama bin Laden!

How do you intend to poison the food?

With the bacteria that you're developing.

How did you learn about the bacteria?

From the network.

Why did you need $1 million?

To cover the lab costs,

to cover the materials.

- What materials?

- You're the f***ing chemist. You tell me.

No, no, no, it must have been

a miscommunication.

I thought you did not speak Arabic.

I picked up a few words from my girlfriend.

- A miscommunication.

- Yes. Yes.

One that's already cost me four fingers.

- The system is not perfect.

- It's not supposed to be.

- No. I am not convinced.

- What...

- What would convince you?

- The money. Where did it come from?

From someone who believed

in the value of the operation.

- Someone outside the network?

- Yes, yes, that is correct.

But how do you know they are your friend?

Who else would give me

that kind of money?

The CIA.

How would the CIA know about you?

That is exactly

what I am trying to find out, Martijn.

This is going nowhere.

Convince us the money

did not come from the CIA.

- How?

- Trace it back to your friend.

- The money is untraceable.

- Why?

Because I designed it that way.

I used to work for a f***ing bank.

Here. Drink that.

I am sorry, Martijn.

But we cannot afford

to risk the entire network

for the sake of one operation.

An important operation.

Yes, but imagine if we trusted you

and we were wrong.

What then, eh?

I am sorry it had to happen this way.

I am sorry about your fingers.

But you are prepared

to die for the cause, no?

- Yes, but...

- But what?

- I understand. I do, but...

- But what?

I just wish there was some way

I could convince you.

- So do I.

- After all, I am a rarity.

What do you mean?

I have blonde hair, blue eyes

and a Dutch passport.

How many dedicated sympathizers

do you know that look like me?

We could do great things.

What about the names?

We have the names.

What names?

Last night,

the network gave us the names,

the names of the members of the Dutch cell.

- So... So, you have my name.

- Unfortunately not.

That's not possible.

- I'm new... I'm new to the network.

- Or perhaps you are lying.

If Martijn knows the names, Ahmat,

he must be a part of the network.

- The Agency might also have those names.

-La.

If the Agency had the names, they

would have already arrested the entire cell.

She's right. The CIA can't know.

The only one

who knows those names is me.

- It is the only way to prove it.

- There is a hole in the logic.

- No, Ahmat.

- There must be.

Let him do it. Let him prove it.

For the sake of his food programme.

All right.

You're doing the right thing.

We shall see.

My food programme is a big operation.

It's important.

Something to write with.

You are very lucky.

If not for her, you would be dead.

You will write the names of the Dutch cell

and the person that gave you that money.

- You first.

- Me?

- Why me?

- How else do I know that you're not lying?

You will only copy what I write.

We can write them at the same time.

All right.

All right.

One problem.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Martijn.

You have been most cooperative.

All right, everybody. Nice job. Nice job.

Come on, let's go. Let's shut it down.

Shut it down.

Time to clean up.

What about the body?

Come on, come on.

This is not our first barbecue, people.

We all know the drill here.

Yeah, we know the drill.

He wouldn't have given us anything else.

How do you know?

Because I know.

- How do you feel?

- Like shite.

You know, you were supposed

to stand 10 feet away.

- I had to make it look convincing.

- Yeah.

I had powder burns all over my face,

for f***'s sake.

- Squibs hurt, huh?

- Yeah. My spine's still sore.

You'll live, baby.

Listen, get back out on the Net.

See who else you can rope in.

You all right?

You did great in there.
