Find him!

Move!

Khalid, where are we going?

Who is it?

It's Khalid. They've taken Omar.

Open, open.

They took Omar.

They took Omar.

Go in the kitchen

and boil some water.

So we can clean him up.

You should not have

brought her here.

What are we going to do

about her?

Leave her out of it.

I'm not going to her house.

You've got to understand,

she is not her father.

Then we will do it another way.

They have Omar.

They will make him talk.

Over.

It is over.

Then...

we must do it now.

Remember your brother.

Remember your brother.

She called you?

Yes, she did.

She didn't like the way you

approached her in public.

Well, she wouldn't return

my calls.

Well, Alan,

she's not obliged to.

You have a personal stake

in this...

so let me show you

what she gave me.

For a year,

NSA has been tracking calls...

from Rashid Salimi.

Last week, a number they say

was one of his...

was tracked connecting

to a cell phone...

registered to your guy.

- Salimi called Anwar?

- Maybe.

Maybe.

What do you mean "maybe?"

Did he contact him,

or didn't he?

I said maybe.

You know these guys.

They give away

their cell phones.

They switch numbers.

He could have passed the phone

to somebody related to Ibrahim.

We don't know.

Or somebody passed it on

to somebody...

who passed it on

to somebody.

- Who knows, right?

- Yeah. Who the f*** knows?

But there could be

a connection.

Now, you wanna bet your career

on something...

that could go either way?

I don't.

We got a bill

we're trying to get passed.

This business of yours

is just gonna muddy things up.

You wanna be the guy

who never has to compromise...

then go join

Amnesty International.

In this business here,

to get things done...

you gotta give,

and you gotta take.

You got it?

If we're gonna get

into a fight about rendition...

it's gotta be the right fight

at the right time...

and it's gotta be a watertight

case, and this ain't it!

But, listen.

I knew Anwar.

Okay? He was a solid guy.

We'll, isn't that interesting?

That's exactly what they said

about Mohammad Atta in Hamburg.

You start

pushing this thing...

they're gonna scream

national security...

at the top of their lungs...

and you and I are gonna be

called bin Laden lovers.

You want that? I don't!

Back off!

I got a meeting.

- Good morning.

- Morning, Samantha.

Alan, Isabella's here.

Can I get you a hot tea?

No, I'm okay. Thank you.

- Hi.

- Hey.

So, what's happening?

- Uh...

- What do you have?

Have a seat. Here.

Want some coffee?

No. I can't drink coffee, Alan.

That's right.

What is it?

What do you have?

Okay.

You need a lawyer, Izzy.

There is evidence that

Anwar has been in contact...

with a terrorist group

called El-Hazim.

What?

What evidence?

It's classified.

Classified.

What does that mean?

That means

that I'm the wrong person...

to be looking

into this for you.

Alan, I know everything

that you're doing for me...

and I'm sure

this must be hard for you.

I'm not naive.

Maybe I even expected the worst.

But please, please

don't let that happen.

Please don't be one of those

people who just turns away.

I'm sorry.

There's just nothing else

I can do.

What is it

they say he's done?

I don't really know.

You don't know?

Well, who does know?

Because I need someone

to look me in the eye...

and tell me exactly

what it is they say he's done.

What has he done, Alan?!

That's the name

of a lawyer...

who really knows

his way around Washington.

You should take it, Izzy.

Isabella.

Tomorrow at 11:
00,

she'll be here.

Thank you.

Please.

Please! Please! God!

No more!

I want to know what else

Rashid is planning.

I want names.

I want addresses.

I want to know

about future attacks.

Do you understand?

I don't know.

If you died here today,

right now, who would miss you?

Your wife

would eventually remarry.

Your son would call

another man "father."

Why are you doing this

to yourself?

No, no. No, no, no, no.

Enough. Enough. Enough!

This is my interrogation.

You observe, Douglas,

nothing more.

Put the gag on.

- Put the gag on.

- No. No.

No. No. No. No.

No. No. No. No.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

He contacted me a year ago.

Who contacted you?

Rashid.

How?

He called me...

on my cell phone.

What? What did he want?

Information.

What information?

Chemical composition

to increase explosive power.

- Did you give him that information?

- Yes.

Did you ever speak

with any of his aides?

Yes.

Names.

Did he pay you?

How much?

Forty thousand.

Where is the money?

I haven't received it yet.

When was he

gonna give it to you?

When I was in South Africa.

Why South Africa?

I didn't want

a large amount of money...

being wired to me in America.

Where is the money?

I don't know.

The courier didn't show up.

Names.

Names.

Hey, it's the man of the hour.

- Congratulations, Alan.

- Didn't I tell you?

You beat 'em

on this one, huh?

- Yes.

- Congratulations.

- A great day for us.

- Did I tell you?

- You told me.

- Congratulations.

Come. I'm not going

to hurt you. Come.

Where?

To a bigger cell.

Come.

Do you know

what they will do to Omar?

Do you?

Douglas,

it's 5:
00 in the morning.

What is this?

- I Googled it.

- Okay.

Anwar left Egypt for America.

Those are the men

that he said were members...

of the El-Hazim Brigade.

It's a f***ing soccer team.

This is why you've got me

out of bed?

To show me he's a liar?

He said that--that Rashid

paid him $40,000.

- Well, that's a big incentive.

- He makes $200,000 a year.

Why would somebody who--who

makes $200,000 a year...

risk his life and his family

for $40,000?

We have a saying.

"Beat your woman every morning.

"If you don't know why,

she does."

I don't know what that means.

If you don't have

the stomach for this...

then you should ask

to be reassigned.

Douglas, I can't help you.

We have a saying, too.

Do you know Shakespeare?

Of course,

I know Shakespeare.

"l fear you speak

upon the rack...

where men enforced

do speak anything."

Saeed.

In all the years

you've been doing this...

how often can you say...

that we've produced truly

legitimate intelligence?

Once?

Twice? Ten times?

I mean,

just give me a statistic.

Give me a number.

Give me--Give me

a f***ing pie chart.

I love pie charts.

Anything. Anything

that outweighs the fact...

that if you torture

one person...

you create ten, a hundred,

a thousand new enemies.

What are you doing?

Those are his release forms.

Yes, I can see that.

I need you to sign them.

We brought him to you.

He's my responsibility.

Now I'm asking you

to sign those.

Do you know

what this will mean for you?

- Morning.

- Good morning, Senator.

- Shall we go in?

- Mrs. Whitman.

Yes?

My name

is Isabella El-Ibrahimi.

I'm sorry.

My husband

is Anwar El-Ibrahimi.

Please,

just tell me where he is.

Please just

let me talk to him.

I have no information

on your husband, Mrs. Ibrahim.

Ma'am, I have a son.
