Get back!

Fool!

He has a gun!

What the f*** are

you doing, Bobby?

You texted your sister, huh?

Yes, I did.

- Yeah?

- Yes.

Then what the f*** is this?

Why, Changez?

Why?

Kept us nice and busy

while you gave your pals

a head start, didn't you?

Huh?

You're making a mistake

that's gonna get us both killed.

Just give me your phone.

Get back!

Let's go, real slow.

Back!

Step back!

Step back!

Professor Khan is in danger!

You're gonna get us

both killed, Bobby.

all:
Professor! Professor!

Step back!

Step back!

We're with you, brother!

Move!

Ah!

Sameer!

Sameer!

Step back!

Step back!

Just secure Bobby and

get the hell back here.

Go, go, go!

We got you, Bobby!

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Come on!

What the f*** happened?

He gave us away.

I caught him texting when

I went to get my phone.

That's why they killed Anse.

- When?

- Ah!

15 minutes ago.

- No, we found Rainier.

- I know. I know.

A butcher shop at Sheranwala Gate.

What are you talking about?

We found Rainier in a

morgue in Karachi.

We got word 20 minutes ago,

but he was dumped there

this morning.

This morning?

Sh*t.

Local intelligence verified

that Changez rejected Fazil.

We misread him.

Sh*t.

Sameer's parents wish me

to address you.

They understand

our strong emotion.

Emotions give us courage.

I have another message

from his family.

If our innocent, smiling Sameer

could hear it...

He would fully agree.

They ask us not to cry

for their son.

Too many tears have flowed

into the river.

They ask us not to take revenge

in their son's name.

Too much blood has

flowed into that river.

They ask us not to curse fate.

Allah holds our son

in His embrace.

Wipe your tears!

And pray for a future

free of dictators and tyrants...

Free of all invaders.

Come, bring your loved ones.

Go tell the majestic sun

to preserve its precious rays.

We'll teach the core of our own

beings to glow with its light.

Would you please listen

to the whole story,

not just bits and pieces?

Do I have your word?

You do.

Looks can be deceiving.

I am a lover of America.
