are targeting governments...

I need everything we have

on Al-Hazim Brigade. Okay?

I have been asked

to fill in for Dixon...

until a replacement

can be found.

Uh, I need a work-up on Fawal.

Uh, Abasi Fawal.

Okay.

I need a shirt.

- Are you okay?

- I need a shirt.

I need a shirt. I need--I need

you to get me shirt...

- Okay. Okay.

- okay?

Okay, I need a plain shirt...

- not a--not a shirt with stripes.

- Yes.

- I know what a shirt is, Douglas.

- Just a plain cotton shirt.

- Do you--Do you know

what I'm talk--Okay.

- Okay?

Okay. Good. I need a shirt.

And l--I need a--I need,

um...uh...

What? Gum?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

If Cape Town says he boarded

and D.C. says he didn't...

then one of them is wrong.

I'm sorry, sir,

but you cannot just get...

on a plane in one country

and not get off in another.

Now, you must have

some record of him...

arriving or transferring

to another airline.

Yes.

Well, check again.

Is he asleep?

He wants you to read to him.

Can you do it?

I'm on hold.

Did you speak to the hotel?

They said they dropped him

off at the airport on time.

Everything will be all right.

He probably just missed

his connection.

He hasn't called.

Lina.

Dad, when is Fatima

coming home?

Finish your milk.

Please, Abasi.

Tell her you made a mistake.

It's not the same

as when we were young.

There are rules, Samia.

There are rules.

Look at my sister Layla.

She'll never marry.

Call her, Abasi.

Please.

For me.

I have called.

I've left a dozen messages.

She doesn't answer.

What can I do?

Leave the egg alone!

Have you called your father?

Not yet.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry, it's nothing.

What have I done?

I'm proud of you

for standing up to him.

That's my taxi.

Please stay.

I want you in this apartment

by eight while I'm gone.

If my brother knew I was

leaving you here alone...

he'd kill me.

Okay?

See you in a few days.

We think it was an attempt

on Abasi Fawal.

Dixon was just wrong place,

wrong time.

If they got one of us,

that's a victory for them.

These are the latest of Rashid?

Three months after he escaped

the Jordanians.

They should've taken him out

when they had the chance.

So without Dixon,

who do we have?

Douglas Freeman, analyst.

Degree in economics

from Princeton.

Started out as a junior exec

in the oil business.

How long with us?

Since September 12th,

give or take.

Jesus.

He looks 12 years old.

Do you think he can do this?

He's smart.

He's been getting close...

with the ministers

of finance and interior.

He initiated the Madrasa

charity investigation...

that,

uh, brought in forty-four...

- al Qaeda fundraisers.

- Lee...

analyst is not a jackal.

We're spread thin.

Did you polygraph

the Egyptian?

Yeah. Came up clean.

Polygraph doesn't mean diddly.

Well, we always say that

when they pass.

Somethin' funny?

We lost someone today.

I traced him with Interpol,

Mossad, the Egyptians.

Nobody's interested.

I'm interested.

Okay.

What do you wanna do?

We can't hold him here

indefinitely.

Put him on the plane.

Yes, ma'am.

My grandma has

the middle floor. I'm on top.

I don't want her

to find me here.

She's away for the week.

I have a back way in.

No one will see us.

You okay?

My grandma's room.

Come.

Jeremy,

stop bouncing the ball.

You know you're not supposed

to do that in the house.

Why can't I come with you?

Because you have school,

and you have tryouts this week.

What's all this stuff?

These are my important papers,

Jeremy.

I need you to get off the bed.

Are you gonna see Daddy?

Yeah.

Why didn't he come home?

He just had to stay at work

a little bit longer.

Jeremy, your food

is on the table.

I wanna wait for Mommy.

I'll be down in just a second.

Okay, honey?

Go on.

Sorry. I just--I have a copy

of his green card...

but I can't find a copy...

- of his passport anywhere.

- Under my name.

Who is this man

you're going to see?

He's a friend from college.

He works for a senator.

Like jasmine.

Do you sell what you paint?

Some.

I'm getting better.

No.

Those are just drafts.

That's you?

Mm-hmm.

And them?

My brother and grandma.

This is your mother?

She was beautiful.

You are the beautiful one.

You and your brother

have the same eyes.

Where's he now?

Does he visit you?

No.

Not anymore.

Are you hungry?

Come, let's go to the kitchen.

Saeed.

Ah, Douglas.

I thought today

you might not come.

Yeah.

- Do you want a cigar?

- No, thank you.

Tea?

Uh, please. Yeah.

Do you guys have anything yet?

Not yet. You?

No.

I got it.

You know, you have

a new detainee on the way.

Egyptian...

lives in America.

He's a chemical engineer.

Yeah, I got

the cable last night.

- Who's observing?

- Me.

You're not a case officer,

Douglas.

Nope.

Maybe I can

finally use my gun.

We've got 58 percent approval

after your statement.

There's no reason

for him to hide.

It's not the bill

he's concerned about.

- It's the attachment, Alan.

- I know.

- Okay, there's a compromise here.

- Yeah. Obviously.

This bill's gonna get crushed

in committee...

if you guys

don't get behind it.

Yeah?

Um, damn. I got to go.

I'll talk to the senator.

Thank you. Thank him.

Izzy, you're here.

Um...God, look at you.

You didn't tell me you're,

like, a hundred months pregnant.

Thank you for seeing me, Alan.

Yeah.

Well, let's get you off

your feet, all right?

Okay. Yeah.

You look

like you're about to pop.

Uh, something to drink?

Eat? Eat?

Uh, no. Just a bottle of water

would be great...

- if you have that

- Sam, can we get

a couple of bottles of water?

- Sam, Izzy. Izzy, Sam.

- Hi.

- We got Senator Lewis.

- Bravo.

Right. Am I walkin' too fast?

No, no, no.

I'll get there eventually.

Okay.

You've done well for yourself.

I always knew you would.

Thank you.

So, uh, you married Anwar.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

What'd your father

say about that?

I'm sure you can imagine.

Yeah.

Thought about inviting you

to the wedding.

I probably

wouldn't have come.

I--l, um, brought some things

that I thought might be helpful.

This is a copy

of his Egyptian passport...

- Listen, Izzy.

- and his green card.

My guy at INS,

he got back to me...

and he assures me that Anwar

never entered the United States.

- The South Africans made a mistake.

- I need you...

to take a look at this.

This is a copy of his

most recent credit card charges.

He spent $70 on duty free

during his flight to D.C.

He was on that plane, Alan.

No!

I've got Jim Alderman

on the line.

Jim. Yeah, thanks

for getting back to me.

Listen. I'm sitting

on convincing evidence...

that El-Ibrahim

landed in D.C.

He purchased something

in the in-flight duty free.

What did he say?

Uh, nothing helpful.

Sam, can you get me a minute

with the senator?

- Peace be with you.

- And with you.

I thought you weren't coming.

Come.

Sir, he's here.

Douglas Freeman,

Abasi Fawal.

Uh, sorry about Mr. Dixon.

Uh...

Definitely, they were after me.
