01x05 - Grandfather's House

[bunniefuu]

MAX: I had an operative shot in the head

this morning at point-blank range.

Maybe not another coincidence.
!sis doesn't usually go in

for clean assassinations like that.

It's like they were
trained by another entity.

Got a light?

SAMHURES: The ship has departed,

and is en route to Marseille to meet you

and head to America.

The Djinn Al Raqqah
confirms she's still in Paris

with the British woman.

Tell everyone I will be back
at the ship by tomorrow night.

Are you hoping to see some old friends?

I just haven't been here in years.

Adilah, this insanity has to stop.

IMOGEN: I know who he is.

ADILAH: It's not what you think.

[g*nshots]

EMIR: The expl*sive
device is secure on board,

and soon we will depart
for the US harbour.

[IN FRENCH]

[IN ENGLISH] We received
fresh intelligence.

There is a ship.

It contains some kind of device

that will be detonated in a US harbour.

We know it's being organised
by a t*rror1st cell.

They are using names that are taken from

The Book of Surprises.

IMOGEN: She showed me
that book in Istanbul.

It's like she wants me to figure it out.

I'll continue to promise
protection for her and her daughter,

and I'll concentrate my investigation

on getting her to tell
me the name of the ship.

[ZIP OPENING]

[MALE DGSE OFFICER IN FRENCH]

[EXHALES]

f*ck!

Okay, I know this apartment is bugged

by both the CIA and the DGSE,

so if any of the night
shift are still awake,

the target is gone.

I repeat, somehow the target is gone.

[SNIFFS]

[CONTINUES SNIFFING]

Yeah. Hello, I don't
know who was in here,

but there's a horrible odour in my room.

Yeah.

All right, thank you.

[SNIFFS]

[MOBILE PHONE RINGING]

Yeah.

How the f*ck?

We got ten million dollars'
worth of surveillance equipment.

Seven operatives surrounding
a single apartment building

with one way in, and one way out.

How the f*ck!

[MOBILE PHONE RINGING]

Imogen, speak to me.

IMOGEN: Tell your people she's wearing

black jeans and a green jacket.

I know because they are my clothes

she's wearing, and I know what's missing

because I make it a point to
be somewhat decent at my job.

MALIK: French and American surveillance

can confirm that a delivery driver

is the only person to have entered

and left the building
in the last few hours.

That means he may still
be in the building.

MALIK: Yeah, can you get eyes on him?

Copy that.

Okay, to whom it may concern

the guy who made the switch
is still in the building.

I repeat, still on the ground floor,

but he won't be for long.

Same height as Adilah, same build.

He's wearing a grey overall.

This was a smart operation.

He entered as a delivery guy
and will leave as a cleaner.

He's undoubtedly part
of the t*rror1st cell.

Send back-up.

I don't care if it's the
French or the Americans,

but give me five minutes alone with him.

Do you understand me?

[IN FRENCH]

[DOOR CLOSING]

[IN FRENCH]

[IN ENGLISH] What do you want?

IMOGEN: I imagine they'll call you soon

to make sure it all went as planned.

As soon as they do, this
will track their location.

I can answer the call

and we'll find out
who you're working for,

and I would imagine
you'll be in deep shit.

Or...

you can just tell me where she went,

walk away, enjoy the rest of your day.

I don't want any trouble.

Where are you from?

Poland? Russia?

[MOBILE PHONE RINGING]

So what's it gonna be?

[MOBILE CONTINUES RINGING]

[MAN IN FRENCH]

[SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]

Hey!

[BIKE REVVING IN THE DISTANCE]

[WOMAN SHRIEKS]

- [IN ENGLISH] Are you armed?
- Yes.

Hand it over.

Slowly.

It's not what you're thinking.

Who do you really work for?

Answer me.

- [MAN IN FRENCH]
- [g*nsh*t]

- [SOFTLY IN ENGLISH] f*ck.
- [MAN IN FRENCH]

[EXHALES]

[IN ENGLISH] You f*cking morons!

Why didn't you sh**t him in the leg?

He was surrendering.

Clean this up.

Malik, just so you
know, I had him twice.

I'm going back to the apartment.

[SONG PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

Adilah...

the organisation, our commanders,

everyone thinks you've
gone to the other side.

I don't want to, but
it's hard for me not to.

Are you an informer
for the British agent?

No, it's not true.

You can tell them that it's not true.

I'm only using her to
find out what they know,

and I'm using her as a
shield for protection.

She's working with the Americans.

If I don't stay with her

they will find me and
they will capture me,

and we will not be able to
go through with the plan.

I reminded them that only you
could've devised a plan like this.

But you have to prove you're dedicated.

You know what will happen
to Yasmina if you fail?

They would k*ll her while you watch.

ADILAH: Emir, you promised me.

You promised that you would make sure

we were protected even
after you leave this world,

if I do this.

I will still help you.

But you have to prove your loyalty.

She has to be k*lled,

and you have to do it.

Today.

It has to be on a busy
street, like Montmartre.

Your grandfather Mohammed's house.

Meet her there at four o'clock.

Keep her busy until the crowd is full.

I will get you a knife
and you will use it.

I will do everything you say.

I will take her there.

But please find someone else to use it.

All right.

I'll find a man to do it.

Thank you.

[EMIR EXHALES]

In a few days from now,
I will be dust and bones,

and I want us to be wed.

To be one in the eyes of God.

I will be waiting with the imam.

I leave for Marseille later tonight.

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

They have the license plate.
They must be looking for me.

Take this.

Here is the detonator and the chip.

Everything was delivered
to Paris as promised.

I am so happy you will have this honour.

[BOTH SPEAKING ARABIC]

- [HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
- [SIRENS CONTINUE]

[INDISTINCT RADIO CONVERSATION]

MATTHEW: [IN ENGLISH] Sir.

Sir, you have zero jurisdiction here.

We are only here because
we have intercepted

on the French police
comms, which is illegal,

and we cannot let them know that.

It would be better all around, sir,

if we just got back in the car
before they realise who we are.

Let the French police do what they do.

What the French police "do"
is they do f*cking nothing.

They let an incredibly dangerous target

just slip through their fingers.

She evaded our
surveillance team, too, sir.

When we find her, we do it.

We do what we have to do.

No more f*cking waiting and watching.

We do what we should have
done right from the start.

We break some f*cking rules
and break some f*cking bones.

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATING]

I'm outside the surveillance.
Do you have something?

Cesar has intercepted an email
from the Americans to Langley

about a high-level
emergency meeting today.

It's not at the Paris station.

They're ignoring all protocols,

so, it must be really serious.

I think they're trying
to take this away from us.

I'll update you after the transmission.

No, I'm seeing that in real time.

It's too important.

I don't care if I'm the DGSE's
best kept secret. I'm coming in.

No, no, no. I don't
think it's a good idea.

I'll be there in an hour.

[SIGHS]

MAX: The head of the t*rror1st
cell, which we believe is planning

a major attack in the United States,

has escaped from our remote custody.

I want to be clear.

Her escape from our surveillance systems

is a direct consequence,

and is directly attributable
to the French security services

and in part to the involvement of MI6.

A female British agent who is used

in very high-level
sensitive situations,

very gifted at gaining
the trust of people

but also known to be
erratic and unpredictable.

On top of that,

she had a previous sexual relationship

with the French operative

who is Muslim of
French-Algerian descent.

The British agent

had been given total
control of the investigation,

and sole access to the target,

and as a result, the
target has now flown

the rather insecure Anglo-French coop.

You were right, they're
trying to take control.

MAX: The French police
and security services

are conducting a nationwide
search for the woman,

but I hold out very little hope.

CHIEF OF STAFF: We have information

that the plot involves a frigate,

allegedly carrying
some kind of dirty b*mb.

And based on the timeline,

we believe that it's leaving Europe

and headed for a port

on the East Coast of the United States.

We do not know the name of the ship,

or the exact location of embarkation.

We believe the ship will
arrive on the East Coast

in the next two to three days.

"Next two days"? Jesus...

MAX: We believe the attack

will be on one of the top three ports,

New York and New Jersey,

Savannah and the Port of Virginia.

HOMELAND: They all
have dense populations

for hundreds of miles around them.

Any of those harbours
would have, on average,

between 18 and 22 cargo
ships docking in any one day.

MAX: Forgive me, we're talking about

a needle in a f*cking haystack here.

Any ideas how we find the needle?

We freeze all shipping in the Atlantic

and prevent all cargo
ships from docking.

And the entire East
Coast of the United States

ask "what the f*ck?" A rumour gets out,

and before you know
it, there will be chaos

beyond anything anyone could imagine.

I would like to suggest
a course of action...

which is both illegal...

and some would say immoral,

but which I believe is our only chance

of preventing this attack in time.

We kidnap the target's
daughter and use her as leverage

to apprehend and interrogate the target

using every tactic at our disposal.

CHIEF OF STAFF: Kidnapping a child

is not in anyone's playbook.

HOMELAND: With all due respect, madam,

we've done it before.

Max, I'm gonna need to hear from you

if there are any alternative options.

No, sir.

I can tell you unequivocally,
there are no other options.

HOMELAND: Do what you need to do.

[CLICKS OFF]

[MAGRITTE IN FRENCH]

[IN ENGLISH] You know
you can't do anything

with that information.

Promise me you won't do anything.

Don't talk to me about promises.

I promised her I would
protect her and her daughter.

I failed.

That woman is a monster.

A m*rder*r.

She's not your friend.

You see, it's not my job

to think of her as a monster...

or a saint.

It's my job to get her
to tell me what she knows.

It's my job to save
those people's lives.

And I failed in that, too.

The thing is, I know
she would have told me.

I know it.

[INHALES] Bloody hell.

Damn fine pad you got here.

Friends in high places?

Yes, actually.

MAX: I was hoping you'd be
coming with your girlfriend.

So listen, game's over.

I've gotten permission from my bosses

to terminate your services.

The French are in agreement.

We have a new strategy.

[SIGHS]

Come on, Max.

What the f*ck?

[EXHALES]

Don't do it.

- Hey...
- Please.

I know how hard it is to
lose an assignment like this.

I do.

Especially with whatever...

I don't know, sins of the father.

It's not about that.

It's about the fact
that it's not gonna work.

It didn't work, Imogen.

It hasn't worked,

and we're running out of f*cking time.

I looked into your Russian proxy thing.

I got shit.

Thousands of American
lives are still at risk,

and the only way out
is Adilah El Idrissi.

Now...

if she happens to come by...

I know you'll contact
me immediately, right?

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATING]

[SIGHS] I don't work for you.

Everybody works for us.

Sooner or later.

Sometimes you just gotta fold.

You know how it is.

It's hard to let go sometimes.

Especially when you lose.

MAX: You came real close.

Real close.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[EXHALES]

[EXHALES]

[IN FRENCH]

[IN ENGLISH] It's okay. It's okay.

[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]

[IN ENGLISH] Okay? Okay.

MAN: Direct 20. Site collection.

MAN 1: What's going on?

WOMAN: [ON RADIO] Roger that.

Hurts my feelings a bit

when you run out on me like that.

Why are we here?

This is the truth of me.

What truth?

It's my grandfather's house.

This is who I was before
everything happened.

I wish you could have known me then.

[SIGHS] I need to tell you something.

The Americans are tired of our
little game of hide-and-seek.

They're going to kidnap Yasmina

and use her as leverage
to get you to talk,

but I can get her out somewhere safe.

I can get you new identities,
and they will never find you.

We need to do it immediately.

[VOICE TREMBLING] What
do you mean, kidnap her?

Where will they take
her? They can't do that.

- She's just a child.
- I know. I know. I know.

My people would k*ll Yasmina

if they think I betrayed them
for the f*cking Americans...

Believe me, I am aware of that.

That's what I'm telling you.

I can get you and Yasmina to England.

You have to travel separately
and we have to go, now,

because the most dangerous place

for you, and your child
is Paris right now.

- I can't.
- Listen to me.

- I can't...
- Listen.

If you let them take her,
you will never see her again.

Even if you tell them
everything you know,

they will never let you
go back to a normal life

with your child,

and no country will take you.

You will lose her.

We have to go, now.

[WHISPERING] Please?

Please? You have to trust me.

[EXHALES]

[KNIFE CLICKS]

f*ck it.

[ADILAH SNIFFLES]

[EXHALES]

The woman saw me.

She had a g*n. She took her.

The Djinn Al Raqqah will succeed.

Report that she has the detonator.

Once she surrenders,

we get them on the plane immediately,

- okay, and then...
- [KNOCK AT DOOR]

Hold on a second.

I got a call from the surveillance team

around the girl.

MAX: I'll call you back.

They had them pinned in the apartment,

but they've heard no movement

or conversation inside for two hours.

And they did not see
them leave the building.

They've broken into the
apartment and it's empty.

It's evident that
they've been extracted.

It's Imogen.

The woman will not fold.

We have to find her.

Yes, sir.

[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]

[MOBILE PHONE RINGING]

[CONTINUES IN FRENCH]

[IN ENGLISH] Hello.

[MAGRITTE IN FRENCH]

[IN ENGLISH] Okay.

[CREW SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Thanks for the update. I have to go.

[IN ENGLISH] She's
on her way to England.

I've made arrangements
for her to meet us.

Working on the new
identities and getting you out

of the country, somewhere safe.

They'll never find you.

She's doing fine.

She wanted an ice cream.

Thank you.

Listen...

you realise I'm the
only person in the world

who knows where your child is.

You can't see her until you give me

the name and location of that ship.

[SCOFFS]

[SOFTLY] Oh, my God.

You are all the same.

You're all the same!

You're using my daughter now?

You're doing exactly what
they were going to do.

If it wasn't for me,

you'd be in a cell right
now being waterboarded.

I'm the only one who's protected,

defended and fought for you.

I've saved your arse over and over,

and I have had to save my
own three times this week.

So the least you could do

is be f*cking honest with
me and tell me what you know.

Why would I be honest with
you or tell you anything

before I see my daughter
with my own eyes?

[EXCLAIMING] Shut up.

My own eyes!

Just shut up.

Please.

"My daughter, my
daughter, my daughter... "

Do... do you think

you're the only woman
in the entire world

who has ever loved a child
and can't be with them?

Do you think you're
the only person in life

to have experienced this?

I have an idea.

Why don't you try not
becoming a t*rror1st

and see if that improves
your parenting skills?

What the f*ck would you
know about being a mother?

Everything!

[SOFTLY] Everything.

[MUTTERING INDISTINCTLY]

[NORMAL VOICE] Never mind, I forgot...

I forgot you're the only person
to have ever experienced pain.

[SCOFFS, LAUGHS] Who's...

Who's ever felt loss.

The only one.

You know, millions of
people have shitty lives

and shitty opportunities,

and they do not join a t*rror1st group

and plan an attack to
k*ll thousands of people.

I don't know why I
haven't just turned you in

and let them cause you so much pain

you beg for mercy.

I don't know why I haven't
just handed you over

and let them break you.

I don't care about you.

You're nothing to me.

You are nothing to me!

You're a woman with a child
who loves you and needs you,

and you are choosing to
throw all of that away.

I had no choice.

You're choosing "this" over her.

I had no f*cking choice!

And that is something you
will never understand, Imogen.

Because your life has
been full of choices.

You chose the life you
lead now. I did not.

You jumped off a cliff and joined them.

Remember?

No one pushed you.

And don't you dare pretend
to know what my life has been.

Right.

[CHUCKLES WRYLY]

Because it was so sad, wasn't it?

Because Mommy left and Daddy left

and you were all alone

when you went to Oxford and fell in love

- with a handsome man...
- Oh, f*ck off.

... who gave you the opportunity
to become this glamorous spy.

Now, f*ck off!

Was that sad for you, Imogen?

Tell me, does it make
you feel less lonely

to be the daring white heroine

who gets to save the world

from destruction and
evil monsters like me?

Who said you get to decide
what is good and what is evil?

Because there are millions
of people, families,

including mine,

who have been m*rder*d, displaced,

our lands occupied, colonised,

our mosques desecrated.

Our homes and hopes are destroyed

like they're nothing.

Oh, but it's only a tragedy
when it happens on your lands,

to your people.

We're just collateral damage, aren't we?

Aren't we?

Do you think what you're
planning will solve this?

Do you?

Or is it a way out
for you and your child?

Please tell me.

Please.

The reason you are with me
is because we are the same,

you and I.

We are the same.

Because if k*lling
thousands of people...

helped bring your father back,

or your mother,

or your baby...

then you might think of
doing exactly the same thing,

and that scares you to death.

[FOOTSTEPS LEAVING]

[ENGINE STARTS]

MAN: Can you remember her face?

I know what you were gonna do today,

and I know you did not want to k*ll me.

So I'm going to choose to believe

that you're not a monster

and that you are a human being,

and you're gonna do the right thing,

and you're gonna choose

whether or not to get in that car.

So,

what's it gonna be?
