Homeland

I don't care where he is.

Find him.

It's urgent.

Yes, I'll hold.

He's been locked up for almost a year and overnight they decide to hold a trial and pronounce a death sentence? What did you expect? Hasan blew up 129 civilians in the marketplace in Ramadi.

I know what he did.

I also know he's got intel about an imminent attack on U.

S.

soil.

He's been dangling this so-called attack for the last three months.

Yeah.

And now he'll come clean if we commute his sentence.

We don't dictate law to the Iraqis anymore.

This is their jurisdiction.

And Hasan is their prisoner.

David Hold on a second.

He's Abu Nazir's bomb maker, David.

Execute him now, and everything he knows is gone forever.

It's over.

I'm on my way to the prison now.

At least petition JSOC.

- Have them appeal to the Iraqi Army.

- JSOC can't do anything either.

David, you're a CIA deputy director you can do this.

- I told you it's over.

- Please don't shut me down.

David, Senator Feldman's looking for you.

- Tell him I'll be right there.

- David, please, this is my last chance with Hasan.

- Carrie, I have to go.

- David I'm hanging up.

Estes didn't go for it.

I knew he wouldn't.

Is that him? Yes.

I'm not sure we can trust him.

Can he get me inside or not? He says he can.

Now you have only two minutes.

Understand what I say two minutes.

Ibrahim I tried to get the Agency to intervene, but they couldn't do anything.

I'm sorry.

So I have nothing to say to you.

Ibrahim, you said your family was in hiding, afraid for their lives.

I can get them to Amman.

Tell me what you know, and I will personally guarantee their safety.

Why should I believe you will do what you say? We have to go.

You said two minutes.

The guards, they are coming.

I need more time.

You don't believe me? Well, maybe I was wrong to believe you.

You said you were an important man.

You said you had information about an attack by Abu Nazir.

- I have information.

- Prove it.

Because unless you do, I won't protect your family.

Please, we're out of time! My family! My family! You promised to protect them! You're listening to "Jim Dawkins in the Morning.

" Wake up, Washington.

This is Dave sitting in for Jim Dawkins.

We got a lot on the topic today.

So why don't you get your phones ready and give us a call.

They say that Washingtonians are apathetic and Last night, at 2300 GMT, one of our ground assets produced a live lead on an enemy operating base in the Korengal Valley.

Nice of you to join us, Carrie.

How is it you are the only analyst in this section that can't get to a briefing on time? I wanted the whole group to hear this.

Within the hour, Delta Team was on site.

where they identified multiple insurgents on our hit list.

Minutes later, two UH-60 Blackhawk gunships lit the target with over 8,000 rounds.

All 13 hostiles were confirmed kills.

But, during the sweep, one of the deltas found something else a padlocked door to an interior room.

I wanted you to see for yourselves.

Get the f*** down! Get him on his feet! What did you say? I'm an American.

Turns out he's one of ours.

Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody.

MIA since early 2003 and presumed dead until now.

What happened to his partner? Brody was a scout sniper.

They work in pairs.

Corporal Thomas Walker also went missing that day.

According to Sergeant Brody, Walker was killed during their captivity.

But that shouldn't dampen what is a major win for the agency and for everyone in this room.

You should all take a moment give yourselves a big hand.

Because of you, an American hero is coming home.

Good job.

What were his exact words, please? An American prisoner of war has been turned.

He said this in English? Yes.

He whispered it into my ear right before the guards pulled me away.

And when he used the expression "turned" He meant turned working for Abu Nazir.

Why am I just hearing about this now? Because until ten minutes ago, I didn't know there were any P.

O.

W.

's still alive in Iraq or Afghanistan.

So you're suggesting that Abu Nazir You're suggesting that Abu Nazir planted intelligence in his own safe house just so we could recover Sergeant Brody? I realize it sounds like a reach.

To say the least.

Why not just drop him near a checkpoint and make it look like he escaped.

Why would you sacrifice Because Abu Nazir is playing the long game.

This way, no one suspects a thing.

Except you.

Yeah, except me.

Yeah.

And Sergeant Brody's due home from Germany tomorrow morning, which gives us just under 22 hours.

To do what? To authorize a surveillance package.

To tap his phones, wire his house, follow him wherever he goes.

David will never sign off on that and you know it.

Of course he won't.

The White House needs a poster boy for the war, and David just served him up on a platter.

That's why I'm coming to you.

I'm not going over his head, not on a hunch.

But if I'm right, if he is a terrorist, we need eyes and ears on Brody from the minute he steps off the plane.

- Never happen.

- But Out of the question.

Carrie All right, fine.

What do I have to do? Prove that the safe house leak was planted.

Or at least give me a reason to doubt its authenticity.

I'm in the penalty box, Saul.

I'm 5,000 miles away from my contacts.

I can't collect intelligence from behind a desk.

Find a way.

No, don't look at me that way.

We're all fighting the same enemy here.

We're ready for you, Sergeant Brody.

Your debriefing.

I want to call my wife first.

Oh, I think that's mine.

Oh, no.

Oh Don't get it.

Don't.

It might be one of my kids.

Hello.

Jessica? It's me.

Brody.

Brody? Come on, Jess, talk to me.

What do you want me to say? Tell me that you're okay.

I'm not okay.

I'm a long way from okay.

Hey.

Mom! Where's your sister? I thought you were at the movies with Jody.

Dana! Is she in her room? Mom Come with me.

Dana?! Mom, just wait a second.

Come on.

I have some incredible news for you guys.

Mom! Come on, Mom! Dana! Mom, don't go in there! Mom, just Tried to stop her.

How come you're home so early? Who is he? Xander.

Xander you need to leave right now.

I'll text you later.

Xan, your jacket.

Why are you making such a big deal out of this, Mom? Gee, Dana, I don't know, it's either the lying or the drugs.

You're supposed to be looking after your brother.

Well, he didn't burn down the house.

Why don't you just do what you say you're gonna do for a change? What? Mom! You said you had something important to tell us.

Sh*t! What, Ma? Come here, you two.

Touchdown in about two hours.

You need anything? No, I'm good.

Thanks.

You'll have some time with your family first.

Then you'll meet the Vice President, who'll introduce you to every major media outlet in the whole country.

The turnout is overwhelming here at Andrews Air Force Base where Sergeant Nicholas Brody is scheduled to land in just under two hours.

Now a White House spokesman confirms that the Vice President will be on hand.
