Traitor Page #4

I assure you.

We didn't come here to play tourists.

We came here to stop an attack.

So can we please dispense

with the horse sh*t?

Okay.

Ali Abbas Mukhtar.

He was born in Marseilles.

French citizen.

But... no longer a threat.

Why is that?

He was found dead

Tuesday morning.

Omar.

Nathir is angry.

He wanted this thing

to go forward on time.

Well, it can still happen.

We have to start over.

A new target, a new bomber.

Look, a new target, yeah.

But for...

Bonjour.

Look, I've been thinking about this.

I want to use a remote trigger.

Do you know how important

this mission is, Samir?

Nathir is watching.

He has plan for you.

He knows who I am?

So tell me your idea.

The American Consulate in Nice.

The American Consulate in Nice

has sustained major damage

in a bombing earlier today.

Police are still searching the site

for the body of a suspected suicide bomber.

This attack bears all the hallmarks

of other blasts earlier this year

conducted by a group

calling itself Al-Nathir.

Three or more charges

of high-impact explosives were placed...

Samir.

- As-Salamu Alaykum, my friend.

- Wa alaikum assalam.

- Welcome back.

- Thank you.

Congratulations, Samir.

Job well done.

The glory belongs to Allah.

Look.

...American Consulate here in Nice,

victim, of course,

of a devastating terrorist attack

earlier this morning.

The death toll is now confirmed at eight,

with five people reported injured.

Well done.

What's the matter?

Eight?

I-I thought there would be more,

many more.

My brother, congratulations are in order.

What you have done is fantastic.

Today you have struck a great blow

against the myth of American power.

Nathir is pleased.

I only wish to serve his will.

That's good to know.

But tonight, you relax.

Please, make yourself at home.

There you are, my brother.

Nice view, huh?

Yeah.

What you did, Samir,

what we are doing...

it's all about setting our people free.

Even if you and I don't live to see it.

If a man hasn't discovered something

that he will die for,

he isn't fit to live.

Who said that?

Martin Luther King.

Ah.

You're a very funny man, Samir.

Yeah.

Lab results are back.

Traces of PETN, RDX.

Semtex again.

Just like the other Nathir attacks.

Except all the other attacks

were suicide bombers,

and this looks like

it's from an RF Receiver, hmm?

Yes.

He used small charges.

One...

and two.

But just in the correct place

to make collapse the building.

This man, he knows what he's doing.

RF range is usually

no more than a hundred meters,

so let's pull the tapes

for all the security cameras

within a five-block radius.

No one there.

Keep going.

More.

Back it up right there.

What happened?

There were no Americans inside.

The two dead embassy

employees were fakes,

bodies from the morgue

with false identities

just like we talked about.

Why is the news saying eight people?

There was some unscheduled maintenance

in a part of the consulate

that was supposed to be empty,

all right?

I didn't know they'd be there.

Listen, we couldn't control everything.

Nobody was supposed to die!

I'm sorry, Samir.

Look, what do you want me to say?

We set off a bomb.

No, I set off a bomb.

Look, I know you paid

a price to get this far.

Okay? You're close.

You're very close.

I don't know, man.

You tell me.

Do we stop?

What made you learn Arabic?

I took a class in college

and got hooked.

I even switched my major

from Religion to Arabic Studies.

You were a Religion major?

My daddy was a Baptist minister.

His daddy was a Baptist minister.

It's in the blood.

You know, when J. Edgar

were in office,

he never would have

let you into the FBI.

Wasn't my original plan.

Not a lot of jobs, however,

for Ph.D. s in Arabic Studies.

Oh, I get it now.

You were an egghead

who got dragged into a street fight.

Nobody gets dragged into a street fight.

Welcome to Toronto, Brother Samir.

It's a great honor, Emir.

Please, sit.

Thank you.

- Tea?

- Yes, thank you.

Omar tells me that you play chess.

Only a little. Thank you.

In chess and in war,

the key to winning

is to anticipate what your opponent

will do in advance.

Think two moves ahead.

The art of asymmetrical warfare

is less about inflicting damage

than provoking a response.

Terrorism is theater.

And theater is always performed

for an audience.

Ours is the American people.

But we are dispersed

across a large country.

The question is,

how to convince them

that nowhere is safe.

Samir, imagine a bus

traveling cross-country

filled with average, everyday Americans.

People from... from all over.

From small towns,

from the country.

Imagine the effect it would have

if that very same bus

were to suddenly explode.

Now multiply that by 50.

Fifty buses across

the heartland of America,

all at the same time,

on the same day.

We call this operation

Risala Shukra Al-hiba.

For years we've been planting

martyrs in their midst.

They are waiting for a signal,

instructions, material.

We need somebody who can move

about the country without drawing attention.

Somebody who blends in.

An American messenger, Samir.

He isn't capable of this.

I don't like having to show

these to you, Chandra.

But we need to find him

before this happens again.

Samir always said that these people

were Islam's worse enemies.

Oh, he fought a Holy War

with these folks in Afghanistan

and then again in Bosnia.

He was trained to kill.

He was a soldier, not a murderer.

I believe he deceived you

as much as anybody else.

His faith was a source of strength.

Not this.

- Welcome to the U.S.

- Thanks.

I'm a friend of Nassim's.

I'm here to see Iqbal.

Shukran.

They transferred the funds for

the Spain bombing the Middle Eastern way.

You give a thousand Euros

to somebody in one city

and their cousin or uncle

pays it in the...

Thank you, Mr. Hayes,

we do know what a hawala network is.

The money trail ended in London.

A Pakistani with some

shady business dealings

was the source of the money

for the Spain operation.

Yesterday he transferred

$25,000 to Los Angeles.

Do you have an ID on him?

We're close.

That's an encrypted phone.

You can call me on it safely.

Nobody can listen in.

Including the FBI?

Yeah. Especially the FBI.

When do you think you can

get in a room with Nathir again?

I don't know.

Probably not until I do

what it is they sent me to do.

Then you keep on going.

Well, the problem is,

to keep going means

I'm going to have to put real bombs

in their hands now soon.

If that what it takes

to keep your cover.

Do you realize how far I've gone

to protect your identity, Samir?

I have kept you completely

off the books.

My boss, his boss...

nobody knows you even exist.

Look, I don't give a sh*t
