Traitor Page #3
There are 1.2 billion Muslims
in this world.
Only 20% of them are Arab.
These people could look
like anybody, except maybe you.
What, so you don't think
we should be profiling these guys?
concentrating on the one suspect
that we do have.
We train to kill, but it doesn't
mean that we love violence.
We use violence only because
it has been used against us.
The crusaders have invade our land,
drop bombs on our people,
stole our natural resources.
We are fighting to end the suffering.
We are fighting to end
the humiliation and murder of...
The Americans accuse us
of killing innocent civilians.
Yet they have been spilling the blood
of innocent Muslims for decades.
Does our blood not count?
Allahu Akbar.
History has shown us
that time and time again
no matter how great the empire,
no matter how difficult the odds,
a man who is not afraid to die
can never be defeated.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Thank you.
Your son is in a lot of trouble.
What sort of trouble?
He's involved
with a terrorist organization.
Do you believe in God,
Detective Clayton?
Uh, we don't use the term
"Detective," ma'am.
You didn't answer my question.
Yes, I do believe in God.
Why do you ask?
Because you will never understand
a man like Samir if you don't.
Would you describe him
as a devout Muslim?
He's Muslim.
I don't believe there is a sliding scale.
Do you know
what the word "Islam" means?
"Submission."
Yes. "Submission."
Submission to God's will
is absolute.
it's God's will for him to kill others?
You carry a gun yourself.
Now, you didn't answer my question.
My son has seen enough death
to understand the value of life.
Who is it?
FBI, ma'am.
It's about Samir Horn.
Now, the State Department hasn't answered
any of my letters for weeks.
I mean, I don't even know
what prison he's being held in.
Well, he's not being held anymore.
He has escaped.
When?
A week ago.
It was a prison break organized
by the terrorist group he's working with.
What are you talking about?
I mean, this whole thing is a mistake.
I'm afraid it's not, ma'am.
We have evidence.
- What evidence?
- That's classified.
- I can't tell you that.
- Yeah, of course it is.
You people are incredible.
How long has it been
since you've seen him?
I don't remember.
If you want to help Samir,
you should talk to me.
Do you think that every
Muslim man is a terrorist?
On the contrary.
I am, however,
looking for those who are.
Now if you have any knowledge
of what he's been involved in,
you do have an obligation
to share that with me.
Are you charging me with anything?
No, I'm not.
When you have something more
than secret evidence,
then I'll talk to you.
Uh, they just fired him.
No explanation.
But, uh, it was pretty obvious why.
How did Samir take it?
How do you think?
So why did you let Mr. Horn go?
Jeez, that was over a year ago.
I don't recall the details.
The information that we gather
for these types of background checks
is strictly confidential.
Look, as far as I'm concerned,
a man's religion is his own business.
But when you wear a skullcap
and pray to Allah five times a day,
people are gonna notice.
Some of our clients complained.
Horn gets to Chicago when he's 12.
He's just watched his father die.
He's arrived from Sudan.
He's going through culture shock.
It's a classic profile.
He's caught between
traditional Islam and the West.
His test scores are off the charts.
But it said he had
some behavioral problems.
He was kicked out of high school
his senior year for getting into a fight.
About what?
Three white students
Horn intervened.
Two of the boys
had to be hospitalized.
Now he enlisted in the military
right after that.
His Army file was classified.
But here's a copy.
After he leaves the Army,
Horn fights in Afghanistan
for a few years.
The list of people he could have met there
is practically a who's who of Islamic terrorists,
from Abdul Azim
to Osama bin Laden.
Now we pretty much lose track of him
until he shows up in Bosnia
where he meets Chandra Dawkin,
the photojournalist.
- Is she a spy?
- No.
The FBI tried to question her,
but my source says
she was uncooperative.
Last fall is when things
seemed to change.
and more time at the mosque.
Then he begins disappearing
Last one he never comes back from.
And somewhere along the way
he meets up with someone
who's connected with Nathir and bingo!
You got yourself a terrorist.
Boom!
If this were the real thing,
he could have blown everybody up.
Come on, Omar.
This kid is too young.
He's not ready.
I'm telling you.
I'm sorry.
Let me try again.
No. Nobody cares
about you being sorry.
We cannot have mistakes.
We can't play around with this sh*t, Omar.
Bring me somebody who can do it.
Please. I can do this.
Give me a chance.
Is this mission important or not?
'Cause if it's important,
you need to bring...
Samir.
Let him try again.
Turn around.
All right.
Let's see what you have.
There's a copy of the transcript
printing out for you know, sir.
I got something.
This guy made a call yesterday
from a phone in Marseilles
that we've been sitting on.
Claims he's been selected
to become shahid.
You picking up a little Arabic?
Ah, just your basic "Jihady".
Now Clayton, this one's operational.
in Paradise by the end of the week.
Brothers, I know
about what we're going to do.
a mission like this.
But we have a problem.
Hey, guys. I'm sorry.
It was just my cousin.
Omar, I didn't tell him
anything specific.
I just wanted him to know,
to tell my family.
Omar, he can be trusted.
I swear.
It wasn't for you to decide.
Okay. Okay.
Omar. Wait a minute.
Don't let them...
Guys, hey!
Bashir!
No! Laissez-moi!
Laissez-moi!
No!
Hey, stupid!
You just ruined the mission.
What the hell is wrong with you?
You gonna put the bomb on now?
Listen to me.
The boy was a liability.
Samir, we don't allow liabilities.
We are very happy to welcome you,
but it was not necessary
for you to come all the way here
over one phone call.
We have reason to believe
that this particular phone booth
has been used by
Nathir's operatives in the past.
This could very well be
their next suicide bomber.
Thank you for the information,
monsieur,
