Zero Dark Thirty Page #7

I can't predict when he's gonna make

another call, 'cause the guy's erratic.

Meanwhile, our chief foreign

correspondent, Richard Engel confirms...

the CIA's top spy in Pakistan

has been pulled out of there.

He's been receiving death threats,

after being named publicly in a lawsuit,

by the family of a victim

of a US drone attack.

Richard Engel quotes a senior

intelligence official as saying,

the officer is returning to the US,

after the decision was made that...

terrorist threats against him, in

Pakistan, were of such a serious nature,

it would not be smart not to act.

ISI f***ed you.

I'm so sorry, Joseph.

Still on tower three.

Signal getting stronger, 10...

Signal's getting weaker.

We lost him, no signal.

Heading south.

He's up at 5 again.

He's moving fast, he's in a vehicle.

Weaker now, he shifted. Go back to 5.

He's close by here, somewhere.

I don't get it.

He's driving in circles.

- No change?

- No.

Now let's hope he comes back around.

Okay, 15...

We're within ten meters of it.

Back to 40.

- He's here somewhere.

- Look at the cars.

Look at the cars, he's in a vehicle.

The guy with the phone in the white car.

You see him?

- Is that him?

- Could be.

- You got him?

- Got him.

Okay, breaking off.

The guy you've been looking for,

geolocated,

on his cell phone,

in his white car.

Thank you.

If you're right,

the whole world's gonna want in on this.

So, you gotta stick to your guns now.

Okay. No, it's great to speak to you too

I'm-I'm amazed that you're still here.

Well, I-I can do, um...

Let me have a look, um...

Why don't we say 1:30.

Yeah.

Uh, can you just hold the line, please?

I need a picket line along the G Highway, and men spaced at intervals...

- along the road, and at every exit.

- Maya, I know.

So, you agree with me

now, this is important.

No, I've just learned from my

predecessor, that life is better...

when I don't disagree with you.

Our current hypothesis is that he

lives somewhere along the highway,

in one of the towns, or a

medium-sized city called Abbottabad,

or up near Kashmir.

Kashmir is interesting because

it's a way station for the Tribals.

Abbottabad is interesting because we

know from detainee reporting that...

Abu Faraj stayed there, briefly, in 2003

The good news is he's

driving a white SUV.

SUVs are actually

pretty rare in Pakistan.

If he was driving a sedan

or a compact, we'd be f***ed.

Obviously, this assumes

he doesn't change vehicles.

- Morning.

- Morning, Hamad.

"Yalla, yalla... "

Any American in Pakistan is a target.

They don't necessarily know I'm CIA.

Doesn't matter.

You're on a list.

Yeah.

And you, of all people, should

know that once you're on their list,

you never get off.

Next time, there may not be

bulletproof glass to save you.

We'll keep up on the

surveillance as best we can.

The high-res version, can

you get closer than that?

Yeah, well, you can up-res this image.

Even more?

Okay, that's good. Thank you.

I'll take that. Thank you very much.

- Take that too.

- You got it"ch".

...to clean that audio as

well, just take the low one out.

Hey.

All right, so tell me

how I'm doing so far.

Basically, we had a guy who rolled

with al-Qaeda, and did services for him.

- Mm-hm.

- We lost him for seven years.

Now we find him again, and... boy,

does he have a really nice house.

- Is that it?

- Pretty much.

All right, let's go talk to the boss.

Oh, you, uh, you should sit back there.

- Sorry.

- No.

So they're gonna ask,

if bin Laden is at the

end of this rainbow.

Is the Pak military with him?

The question isn't: Are the

Paks protecting bin Laden?

The question is:
Would he allow

himself to be protected by the Paks?

I mean, why would he trust

them? He tried to kill Musharraf.

- Hello.

- Sir.

All right, go ahead.

So a little context here, if you

take a right, out of Islamabad,

drive about forty-five minutes north,

you'll find yourself here in Abbottabad.

Now it's a mostly middle-class

community, some ex-military.

Not particularly interesting to us.

Except we did find this

compound, which is unique.

We got a 16-foot wall

around the entire perimeter.

The windows are blacked out.

There's even a 7-foot

privacy wall here, so,

even if we got up high, we

couldn't get a vantage point.

I mean it's-

it's a fortress.

Well, can't you put a camera somewhere?

In these trees here, maybe?

Get a look in the main house?

it would probably be discovered.

Well, we have to get a look

into the house, don't we?

All right.

What's this? This cluster

of buildings down here?

The PMA. It's the

Pakistani Military Academy.

It's their West Point.

And how close is that to the house?

About a mile.

to eight-tenths of a mile.

But who are you?

I'm the motherf***er that

found this place, sir.

Really?

All right, I wanna know more about who's

inside this house by the end of the week

Sir.

Motherf***er.

Good.

Morning, George.

It's been 21 days since we found

the house, nothing's happened.

Yeah.

Maya, it's Steve.

- Swing by, I wanna show you something.

- Okay.

Okay, you can leave it paused for now,

but we're gonna play through that...

Hey!

- Maya, come see.

- Yeah.

Okay, this is from a

few minutes ago, okay?

Yeah.

So remember, we've got two

males, two females and seven kids.

What's that?

Okay, I'm saying that's

Bushra, the brother's wife.

Whoa, whoa, how do you know the gender?

Well, look, this is a clothesline

right here for laundry.

Men don't mess with the wash.

Okay, now watch, it takes her about

four seconds to move from there,

to the front door, so

she's on the older side.

- What's that up there?

- Uh, those are kids, they're...

shuffling around, sword fighting

or something, with sticks.

You can see their height

relative to this. These are cows.

So, they're probably between 7 and 9.

- Boys, definitely.

- Wow, your female's moving fast.

Okay, that's what I wanted to

show you. Can we pause this please?

That's not the same lady.

That's female number three.

- So you found two males, three females.

- That's correct.

So, if there are three females,

there ought to be three males.

Observant Muslim women live with

their parents, or with their husbands.

We think there's a third

family, living in the house.

So, this third male that you've

identified as possibly being bin Laden,

do I give up all hope of ever

seeing a photograph of him?

Hope? Yeah.

You give up your hope, right now.

We scan for heat signatures,

but we can't validate if it's

a man or a woman up there.

We talked about burrowing a

pinhole camera, but there's a...

high risk of discovery.

We found a safe house,

but we can't get a vantage point to

fire a telescope over the balcony wall.

We have explored the possibility,

of digging tunnels, of

sending hot air balloons,

of rerouting supply C-130s to take a

peek, but that might be too alerting.

We've looked for ways of collecting

available DNA from his trash,
