Zero Dark Thirty Page #2

Guest of honor:
Osama bin Laden.

- Except if it was Tupac there...

- This is worth 5 million bucks.

You know we gonna have to chase it down.

He's like, "Hey, that's

me, man. No job too small. "

That's why I have a

gift for you, my friend.

Everyone, Agent Maya. Maya, everyone.

Please don't ask her how

it's going with Ammar,

'cause she's not gonna f***ing tell you.

Ammar is withholding.

Washington assesses Abu Faraj

as officially the new "Number 3".

He's the best man for it.

Uh, yeah, the...

London station's already asking if

he's contacting anybody in the UK.

- Like we're just keeping it from them?

- Yeah.

Jordanians are being really

helpful with Ammar's transit papers.

Any imminent threats in here?

Oh, we've one on the consulate,

the Marriott, it's low-security.

Um, and they've got Maj Khan talking

about, uh, gas stations in the US.

And that's a conversation?

Honestly, there's 600 questions in

there. I'd do Heathrow, the Saudis.

Does it matter what Faraj

thinks about Heathrow?

How much latitude does

he get to pick targets?

Um, I think he'll give up the

Saudis, but Heathrow's gonna be tough.

Anyway, uh... anything from last night?

Qatar Base Six have a bead

on the Arabs that escaped.

They're meeting with ISI this afternoon,

hopefully set up a raid down there.

Great.

And Lahore reporting, ISI was

painfully slow last night, again.

They're beginning to think

it's not incompetence.

Okay, agree. I spoke to the chief

about that. Yeah, anything on bin Laden?

Uh, farmer on the Afghan

border near Tora Bora...

reports a diamond-shaped

pattern in the hills,

tall male in the center of the

diamond, flanked by four guards,

consistent with UBL's movements.

That's supposed to be his Royal Guard.

No, that's pre-9/11 behavior.

We have no reason to believe

he's changed security tactics.

We invaded Afghanistan, that's a reason.

Hey, boss. I got a guy,

for 5,000 bucks, he can set up a

taxi stand, and snoop around a bit.

No, don't need him. Sorry, the

diamond sighting is bullshit.

Uh, see if the Paks will send someone

to talk to the farmer. Anything else?

No?

All right, let's put some runs

on the board against Faraj, okay?

Talk to the case officers who didn't see

fit to make it today, and "thank" them.

Tora Bora, yeah?

- Uh-huh.

- Good.

Come on, here we go.

Here we go.

All right, let's just, uh...

Let's take it easy today, huh?

You hungry?

Food in here sucks, so I

brought you some of this.

Pretty good, huh?

Richard Reid.

Oh, man, I was thinking about him.

The guy gets a bomb in a shoe on

a plane. Un-f***ing-believable.

You know him, don't you?

Yes.

I'm glad you said that.

Okay, uh, I got an e-mail from you to

him, with all your comms for years, bro.

Who, um...

Who else is in your Saudi group?

I just handed out some cash for them.

I didn't know who the guys were.

When you lie to me, I hurt you.

Please.

I believe you. I do, I believe you.

It's good, huh?

Do you want the water again?

Or do you want something else?

- Water?

- Please.

Just... give me a name.

I don't know!

Come on, let's go!

Bring him up.

Here we go.

You see how this works?

You don't mind if my female colleague

here checks out your junk, do you?

No? Good.

Dude, you sh*t your pants?

You stay here, I'll be back.

Your friend is an animal.

Please, help me.

Please.

You can help yourself by being truthful.

This is a dog collar.

- No!

- Hang on.

You determine how I treat you.

Come on.

I got you.

Come on.

Come on.

You're my dog, I gotta walk you.

What the f*** do you

think is going on, Ammar?

Walid has already told

me that you know, hmm?

Here we go.

This box here. This box sucks.

And I'm gonna put you in it.

When is the attack?

When is the attack?

- S...

- What?

- What?

- "Ahad. " (Sunday)

Sunday, where? Whoa... Sunday, where?

Sunday. This Sunday or next Sunday?

Where?

What?

Come on, Ammar, is it Sunday or Monday?

Partial information will be

treated as a lie. Come on, let's go.

Come on, which day is it?

Partial information... You

gonna go in the box, huh?

Partial information is

treated as a lie! Let's go!

- Saturday!

- In the box you go!

- Sunday!

- Almost.

Monday!

- Tuesday!

- Huh? There we go.

- Friday!

- Come on, let's go! Come on!

- Hang on...

- Sunday.

- Monday.

- Shh...

Thursd...

Ammar, which day is it?

Which day?

Frid...

- Ammar, which day?

- Thursd...

Frid...

"Yalla! Yalla! Yalla!" (Let's go!)

"Yalla! Yalla! Yalla!"

...attack against

westerners and foreigners.

When you look at the

break-up of casualties,

you can see that non-muslims were

killed, and so were Americans...

You don't worry about the Saudis,

they'll take care of business.

Yeah, now.

You warned them, they

didn't take you seriously.

This is what happens. It's not on you.

Oh, and who said that, huh? Zayid? F***

him. This is on me. Ammar is on me,

- and it's on her. And, we do not,

- No, no, no. Now, you had what, days?

- we cannot let this be a win-win for AQ

- Brief custody, unresponsive ally.

The way you do this, is look ahead.

London, Heathrow, mass casualties.

The plan is still active.

Ammar doesn't have a

clue about what happened.

- Oh, he knows.

- How?

Oh, you have to be really careful with

people in KSM's circle, they're devious.

He's not gonna talk about

attacks in the homeland.

He's gonna withhold operational

details on the KSM network...

and probably bin Laden.

But he's been in complete isolation.

He doesn't know we've failed.

We could tell him anything.

What? Bluff him?

He hasn't slept in. He's clueless.

You don't remember, do you?

Well, short-term memory loss is a

side effect of sleep deprivation,

so it should come back to you.

I don't know.

How can I remember?

After we kept you awake for 96 hours you

gave us the names of

some of your brothers,

and you helped save the lives

of a lot of innocent people.

Which is a smart thing to do when

you're starting to think for yourself.

Mm-hm.

Come on, eat up, man.

Some hummus, tabbouleh, don't know

what that is, some figs. You earned it.

So uh you flew via Amman to Kabul, yeah?

Hang out with your uncle.

Mukhtar.

- How did you know that?

- I told you, man, I know you.

All right, you got me.

You did, you got me.

Flight manifests.

It must be pretty f***ed

up for you guys after 9/11.

And what did you do, um, what

did you do after the invasion?

Before you went back to Pesh?

After 9/11, we had to choose.

Fight to protect our turf or run.

And you chose to fight, yeah?

We wanted to kill Americans.

Yeah.

We tried to get into Tora Bora, but the

bombing was too high. We couldn't cross.

I'm sorry, who's the

"we" in that sentence?

Me, and some other guys who

were hanging around at that time.

You know, I can always go

and eat with some other dude,

hang you back up to the ceiling.

Hamza Rabia.

Khabab al-Masri.

And Abu Ahmed.

Who's Abu Ahmed? I've

heard of the other guys.
