All language subtitles for FBI International 4x20 ing

My birth father applied
for a commuted sentence.

- How long has he been in?
- 20 years.

Take things head-on, sooner the better.

That way, get on with your life.

Let me apologize in person.

Man to man, father to son.

That's your handiwork.

Fractured jaw of an 11-year-old boy.

Mine.

You see, that voids any apology, ever.

Look, you have a sister.

Her name is Delila.
I just thought you should know.

You really think Dean
would make up something

like having a daughter?

Christmas morning. I'm eight years old.

I go down the stairs, there's
no presents under the tree.

And Dean's sitting there,

he's a little sloshed
from the night before.

And he goes, sorry, kid.

Santa's ride crashed antlers-first

in the Empire State Building.

Sleigh's totaled.

Two days later,
I hear my mom screaming at him

that she pulled double shifts
to pay for the presents.

Guy tells a hell of a story.
I'll give him that.

Yeah, his go-to move in life is to lie.

Maybe it's a cry for help.

Dean's got this daughter.

He doesn't know how to be in her life.

He told you because
he wants you to step in.

I don't care.

If I open the window
just a sliver of an inch,

he's going to pry it open

and throw a Molotov cocktail in there

so that he can claim the insurance.

They're here.

OK, so here's what
we're dealing with.

A prisoner swap between
the United States and Iran

is set to take place
in Belgrade, Serbia,

ten hours from now.

Three Americans
who have been falsely detained

and imprisoned in Iran

will be sent back to the States

in exchange for three Iranians
in U.S. custody.

These Americans are Eric Rubin,

Melissa Nguyen,
and Will Strickland,

military contractors
who were detained in 2023.

Strickland actually
served in the military

and retired two years ago.

Three-star general.

Well, we usually don't
handle prisoner swaps,

so how did this land on our bingo card?

George Campbell,
Special Presidential Envoy

for Hostage Affairs.

He flew into

our American-controlled
airstrip in Romania

escorting the three Iranians
earlier this morning.

Once Campbell landed,

the Romanian Minister
of Foreign Affairs

ordered everyone to be detained.

- Do we know why?
- Not yet.

But Campbell's on the line.
I'll patch him in.

Did you get the updated route?

My office just got word

that one of the highways
is being patrolled.

E70 or M70. Look, whatever the hell.

My point is
we cannot be too careful.

We know. We just got the update.

We're adjusting our itinerary
accordingly.

OK, great.

Oh, and thank you for
stepping in at the 11th hour.

Why'd Romania suddenly
decide to poke around

this deal with Iran?

They said they received intel
that one of the Iranians

may have committed a crime
in Romania under an alias.

Foreign minister wanted
48 hours to look into it.

Where'd the intel come from?

They wouldn't disclose their source.

But I've been negotiating
this exchange for over a year.

If any of those prisoners so
much as jaywalked in Bucharest,

I would have known about it.

So after we get to the
airstrip, what's the plan here?

You going to straighten
out this bad intel

with the minister before
we have to cross the border?

Absolutely not.

If we try too hard
to turn Romania's neck,

Iran gets involved.

The number of hours
in my office, the CIA,

and the DOJ have put in collectively

just to get Iran to show up
to the bargaining table.

This whole swap
is really about as delicate

as a Jenga tower made of glass.

You want the plan?

Calling you was the plan.

Huh.

Moving three high-profile prisoners

right under the Romanian
foreign minister's nose

with nothing but our wits about us

sounds like a recipe
for a diplomatic catastrophe.

Well, if it comes to that,
good thing you're on our team.

Agent Mitchell.

This way.

Standard issue.

Fully outfitted with composite
armor and ballistic glass.

Prisoners can be secured in the rear.

We can't use that.

Why not?

You think Romania is gonna let a tank

go through the border without a search?

We need sedans. Nothing fancy, no logos.

You get a few of those lying around?

I told you you were alone.

Yeah, very clear about that.

Look, I know this is a mess,

but those three Americans Iran's got,

they've been in prison since 2023.

If we don't honor our side of the swap,

Eric, Melissa, and Will
don't get to come home.

OK, let's get them loaded up.

- Everybody in the vehicle.
- You're in charge?

Don't start with that, Zahra.

Just do what he says
and we all get to go home.

Come on.

We're all on the same side
here. Just get in.

- You don't understand.
- Won't ask again.

Let's go.

Listen to me, please.

Please.

You seem like a good person.

Listen to me, please.

You can't send me back.

There are people in Iran
who want me dead.

They're going to kill me!

Any word?

CIA said they got a couple cars stashed

at a safe house nearby.

They should be here soon.

Something's wrong.
We're not supposed to be here.

I'm sorry, did the FBI
let you in on the plan, hmm?

She's right. What if they call it off?

Keep panicking and the
odds you will see Tehran again

lower by the minute.

My son...

he was two when I got arrested.

Just starting to speak.

Now he must know 50,000 words,
but not the meaning of father.

You are not the only one
who wants to go home.

I can't go back to prison!

Hey!

Take your friend's advice
and shut up back there.

Mitchell.

I just got word the Romanian minister's

got some feds en route to the airstrip.

What's their ETA?

Within the hour.

The second they see
those prisoners are missing,

every tollbooth, checkpoint
and tunnel out of Romania

gets a news blast with their
faces front and center.

Just buy us as much time as you can.

I'll try.

Amanda found a remote
checkpoint five miles out.

CIA has a guy on the take.
He'll push us through.

Clock's ticking. We gotta move.

You and I should take Omar.

Him and Zahra haven't shut up
since the airstrip.

- I'll take Farid.
- There you guys are.

Something went wrong, didn't it?

- Wait, where's Campbell?
- He's busy. Let's go.

No. Wait, wait, wait.
Where's he gone? Why?

It's OK. Come on.

I know you heard me earlier.

Please, I need you to listen to me.

- I need you to...
- I don't need to do anything.

You got it?

I worked corporate security
for seven years.

The FBI was one of our clients.

I was loyal. I have always
been loyal to America.

All I did was go back to Tehran
for a cousin's wedding.

Seven years, I hadn't been home.

Then I get arrested the second
my plane lands at JFK.

Supposedly, I passed along
sensitive documents.

Figuring out what you
may or may not have done

isn't a part of my job, got it?

I know, but they used me.

I gave your country
seven years of service

and they turn me into collateral.

Please, don't send me back!

Convoy is approaching the border.

Look for Officer Fischer.

He should be manning the kiosk,

but his shift ends in two minutes.

Just sent you a photo.

- Thanks, Amanda.
- Be careful.

Hello, Officer.

What exactly was your
business in Romania?

Just passing through.

Who's he?

FBI-Europol have
a joint investigation going.

I could loop in your supervisor,

but is that really necessary,
Officer Balan?

Step out of the vehicle, sir.

Is Officer Fischer here?
I really need to speak to him.

Get out of the car.

Fischer's here. On your left.

Officer. Officer Fischer!

_

Everything appears to be in order.

OK, great.

It's just us and the next two cars.

No problem. And the payment?

No, we were told that we meet you

and we give you our credentials.

If you have, like,
a secret handshake deal

with your CIA guy,
that's between you and him.

No payment, no passage.

Who's got cash? You got cash?

I got, uh... I got 50 euro.

I have 150 euros.

- Uh, 3...
- 50.

350.

Uh, 550 between the three vehicles.

Is that enough to move us along?

Pleasure meeting you, Agent Mitchell.

Drive safe now.

I will pull all three cars back
and call this in

if you come up short.

We won't. You have a nice day.

You're almost there.
One mile to the safe house.

Let's say Dean's lying
about your sister.

Half-sister.

Let's say Dean's making up
your half-sister.

Take about two seconds to find out.

I know what you're trying to do.

I don't want to go there.

OK.

What's her name?

Delila.

And even if she's real,

I can't get involved.

Can't or don't want to?

Don't want to.

Let me just call my girl
over at HQ, Sylvia Nicastro.

She can look up Delila
no questions asked. Done.

Why do you care?

Because...

you know, I got Charlotte.

Just the idea of her
being out on her own.

You got to know if this girl is real.

- What girl?
- Shut up.

Hey, heads up. We got a bogey incoming.

Black SUV.

- Go, go, go!
- Go, go, go, go, go!

Who the hell are those blokes?

I don't know,
but they're not cops.

Lose them now.

Amanda, what are we dealing with?

Looks like it's just the two SUVs.

There's another SUV.

We're too big of a target. Split up.

- Copy that.
- Get to the safe house.

- I gotta lose this guy.
- On it.

Hold on.

All right. I think we're in the clear.

Amanda, can you confirm?

Lost that first SUV in an underpass,

but you're almost there.

Go, go.

Go, go!

What was that?

Everybody check in right now.

This is Smitty. We're fine.

Cam? Andre? You good?

Hey, somebody talk to me!

Andre?

Wake up, Andre.

I'm good.

Andre, we gotta get out of here.

Come on.

Zahra's gone.

Where are the others?
What happened to Zahra?

Did someone get to her?
Are we all targets?

Your concerns are noted.

But wait, what if we're the targets?

Omar, will you just
shut up for one minute

and let them do their jobs?

There's a secure holding area
down the hall.

Great. Take 'em.

This way.

It's the Hub.

Give me one second and I'll set it up.

Amanda, talk to me.

SUV disappeared into a tunnel

about two miles
from the crash site.

Never came back out.

Neither vehicle had plates

and we couldn't get
a clean visual on the drivers.

OK, I want us up
on traffic cameras, CCTV,

toll booths, weather cameras...
it doesn't matter.

We got to turn
the whole city inside out.

On it, Wes. If something's got a lens,
we'll pull what we can.

I'll alert the Politia.

Tell them we want Zahra's photo posted

on every egress point out of Belgrade.

Are you guys OK?

- Yeah.
- Zahra?

You OK? That looks like it stings.

I'm fine.

Let's get you cleaned up.

Any idea who we're up against here?

I don't know.

But Zahra said she didn't
want to go back to Tehran.

She thought that she might be a target,

but I think that she was
going to say anything

to get me to cut her loose.

OK, let's say someone did want her dead.

Why bother taking her
from the crash site?

Why not just shoot her while
you and I were knocked out?

I might know why.

I just picked up
someone's dash cam footage

from two minutes after the crash.

This wasn't an attack.
This was a rescue mission.

If that's the case,
with the border sealed off,

she has no choice but to lie low.

Zahra's an Iranian female

wearing some pretty gnarly cuffs.

First thing she's going to want
to do is get those things off.

That won't be easy.

Those are double-reinforced steel.

I'll look into it.

OK, if Zahra was behind this,

then she had help
from the outside.

So every prison visit,

any time she met with someone in Tehran,

if she sent a happy birthday
message to someone on Facebook,

then I want to know about it.

On it.

Wes.

This prisoner swap...

is this going to blow it?

I don't know.

Where the hell are you?

Cause that sure
don't look like Pittsburgh.

Look, I got business to take care of

that doesn't concern you.

And what about Delila?

You know, your daughter.

You told her you'd be here.

Yeah, tell her I'm coming, OK?

I just got to take care of
some business on my end.

Tell her yourself.

Come talk to your dad.

Delila.

Now.

Hey, there's my girl.

Don't put me in the middle of this.

What, you think I want

to be on the other side of the planet?

I'm doing this for you.

And? Any luck?

Sorry, kid. No.

I don't think he's going for it.

OK.

It's no problem.

You want his number?

No.

Sounds like
he's just not into it.

Mom.

Nice work.

What, like I don't got
enough to deal with?

I got out of prison
two whole weeks ago,

and here I am trying to do
a nice thing for Delila,

connecting her with her brother.

Oh, poor Dean.

He's always drawn the short straw.

Careful, Cassie.

Careful.

What the hell happened?

What do you mean you lost Zahra?

Our convoy was attacked. Zahra escaped.

But I promise you we are using
every tool at our disposal.

Oh, you're using every tool? Are you?

You couldn't have done that sooner,

like when you had Zahra cuffed
in a bulletproof vehicle?

Our orders were to hide
the prisoners from Romania

and get them to Belgrade, which we did.

At no point were we warned

that we might get attacked
from some random third party.

It was a massive, catastrophic...

OK, look.

I need to loop in
the CIA director and the DOJ.

When they hear this,
there will be no end to the amount of...

Will it help?

What?

Will calling the DOJ

in the panic that you're in
right now help the situation?

The swap is supposed
to go down in two hours.

What are we supposed to tell Iran?

We need more time.

I will find Zahra.

OK.

OK, I'll be in Belgrade in one hour.

Nope, that's cutting it way too close.

You got to let me talk to them.

Our Iranian contact is Kasper Jafari.

He is not a pushover.

Neither am I.

Kasper Jafari?

Thank you for taking this
meeting on such short notice.

It is my pleasure,
Special Agent Mitchell.

- You can call me Wes.
- Wes.

I love that about Americans.

Which part?

Well, the invitation
to be friends can start

with nothing more than
a simple handshake.

So, friend,

to what do I owe this surprise?

We hit a snag.

The Romanian Foreign Minister
got some bad intel,

but your Iranians are
en route to Belgrade.

We just need a few extra hours

to get everyone to the exchange
point without losing any limbs.

But you can confirm
the transport has left Romania?

- Yes.
- Ah, that's interesting.

Because I heard Romania closed
its borders three hours ago.

Could that be related
to your delay, I wonder?

Look, I didn't have to come here.

I could have showed up two hours late

and said this is how it's going to be,

but I'm here because
I respect all of the work

that you put into
making this exchange happen.

So what's the question
behind the question?

Did you transport the
Iranians past Romania's border

against the Foreign Minister's wishes?

We did.

And the convoy barely made it out.

But rest assured

all three Iranians are alive
and kicking in Serbia.

Omar, Farid, and Zahra have
been locked up for a year

waiting, hoping to be free.

I'm going to make that happen.

I just need three hours.

Let's make it two.

But lie to me, and the three Americans

we have in custody
will be taken back to Iran.

And after that, there might
not even be a bargaining table

for our countries to come back to.

So they just took her?

How do you know she's still alive?

We are going to find her, Omar.

But I need you to both tell us
if Zahra mentioned anything

about a rescue mission
or a friend on the outside.

We're never going home, Farid.

I told you we're going to die here.

My son. My... my beautiful son.

I'm never going to see
his beautiful face.

Don't you see they're trying
to help us get home, hmm?

They lost her. Lost her.

Zahra made it clear she did
not want to go back to Tehran.

And that she was willing to do
anything to make that happen.

- She said there was a man...
- Don't tell them anything.

They don't know what they're doing.

Up now. Come on.

Up off your ass. Let's go.

Don't tell them anything!

Please, don't tell them anything!

They don't know what they're doing!

Don't tell them anything!

Zahra said someone was looking for her.

A man named Mohsen.

It's the seventh
most common name in Iran.

Zahra's got at least
five cousins named Mohsen.

Never mind old classmates,
ex-boyfriends.

This is interesting.

While Zahra was in prison,
she got a couple calls

from somebody who said
he was her brother.

I just ran the audio
through vocal analysis

and our algorithm is
saying it's not a match.

This guy isn't her brother.

Send that to me.

Yep. But just so you know,
I listened to every call twice.

None of the exchanges are
remotely incriminating.

Ernesto, shoot over
that list of Mohsens.

Sent.

What are you doing?

Running a search for any audio files

from press recordings
or social media posts

related to everyone on this
list and doing a comp pass.

Here we go. Mohsen Shah.

Looks like he lived across the street

from Zahra when they were kids.

Run them through our internal DBs.

If this Mohsen Shah was
the one who took Zahra,

he needed access to firepower.

Got a match in the NSA's database.

He's Iranian cyberintelligence.

Shah's divisions hit several
EU countries with data leaks.

Zahra's cuffs.

I figured it out.

A vertical saw.

Because of how thick the metal is,

that's what she'd need
to pop those cuffs loose.

Can't imagine that's easy to find.

Well, some jewelry repair
stores use them to cut chains.

I found this one
owned by an Iranian couple.

Supposedly closed on Sundays,
but two hours ago,

CCTV caught the owner
unlocking the front door

and then locking it again
once he was inside.

After that, cameras went dark.

Send this to Cam.

We're closed today.

- You don't look closed.
- Hey.

I-I'm just here to do inventory.

But no customers.

We're not customers.

I don't want any trouble.

Then we're off to a good start.

She look familiar?

FBI. Stop what you're doing.

Look, I don't know what she's told you,

but trust me,
you don't want to get involved.

Zahra, hands up.

Turn around and walk away.

Hey. Put the gun down, man.

Look, man. We're FBI.

You do not want to pull that trigger.

Hey, you put the gun down,
we can work something out.

Put it down!

OK, I'll do it.

Stand up.

She's in the back.

Get him out of here.

Come on.

She was about to fire.

I acted out of instinct.

Those three Americans...

Wes, if they don't get to come home

- because of me...
- Hey.

That's for me to worry about.

You can't think that way.

Focus on what's next.

We're going to figure this out.

We had no idea who she was.

As I told you earlier,

Fatemah and I had come in
to do inventory.

Actually, you failed to mention

your wife was here at all.

Did I?

Surely, I...

They offered us 1,000 euros in cash

to use our equipment
and keep our mouths shut.

Take them to the police for questioning.

What are we supposed to tell them?

Tell them what you saw.

We're boned.

You want a water?

Somebody get him some water.

We are absolutely,

10,000 times over,
unequivocally screwed!

There's... there's always
a deal to be made.

Which one of you did it?

It was me.

Zahra drew first.

It's within the FBI's protocol...

I don't care!

You screwed up.

And now those poor Americans
who spent the last two years

languishing in an Iranian hellhole...

Hey! Enough.

Anything?

Merc's real name is Stefan Popovic,

but he's a hired gun.

He never interacted with Shah directly.

Even the Hub's at a loss.

Popovic's burner has no stored messages,

no contacts, no call history.

- Shah scrubbed everything.
- OK.

Let's just try to salvage
whatever we can from this swap.

And what do we offer Iran in return?

Zahra's claim stub from the morgue?

We'd be up front with them.

That's how we get our Americans back.

By showing our incompetence?

By showing Jafari we respect him enough

to give him the truth.

Respect?

Your agent lost Zahra
and then shot her on accident!

She didn't do anything on accident.

She defended herself!

If I was in that same situation,

I would've done the exact same thing!

Let me ask you something.

Would you rather it be
one of us in the morgue

instead of Zahra?

Jafari won't see it that way.

He will think that the DOJ

sent a bunch of Quantico
dropouts to do this job,

and that is not respect.

That is an insult.

- Campbell...
- I've... I've been on...

I've been on both sides of this.

I've been the one who's messed up.

I've been the one who's
gotten the apology.

The best strategy is
always full transparency.

And you think that'll work now?

I don't know. But we gotta try.

I'm coming with you.

You've been on the verge
of calling DEFCON 1

for the last ten hours.

Maybe sit this one out.

I'm just going to say this as it is.

Zahra Nawaz is no longer in our custody.

Yeah, well, that's interesting.

Our convoy that was
transporting her was attacked.

My entire team was nearly killed

and Zahra escaped with the
help of an Iranian national.

Where is she now?

She's dead.

She drew a gun on one of my agents,

and my agent defended herself.

What, you think you get
a free pass for being honest?

No. I think you greeted me as an equal.

And I'm trying to show you

the same level of dignity and respect.

My orders are to do
everything in my power

to convince you to
move forward with the swap.

The U.S. is willing to evaluate
the potential release

of other detained Iranians
at a later time.

Well...

sit tight while I make a call.

This is it. It's over.
We're never going home!

Shut up. I won't say it again.

Wes, my friend.

Iran would also like
to continue with the swap.

Good news. Great news.

Well, here's the thing.

Isn't that how you Americans
say it, here's the thing?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Seeing as how you have
only two prisoners to trade,

we'll only give you Eric Rubin
and Melissa Nguyen.

Will Strickland's a three-star general.

What assurance do I have

your country's going
to take care of him?

Yeah, well, perhaps you should
have considered that sooner.

Wes.

Take the two, or nobody is going home.

Your call, Wes.

DOJ wants to move forward. Two for two.

What about you? Are you OK with this?

Why wouldn't I be?

Because you fought like hell to release

all three of them including Strickland.

You're just going to walk away now?

You were pulled into this
at the last minute

to do an impossible task.

Take the win.

My orders are to take the deal.

The U.S. Department of Justice

will offer you
a diplomatic medal of honor

for not coming away
from this empty-handed.

Not my thing.

Let me make another play.

The man who helped Zahra escape...

I can give you his name.

All right.

Mohsen Shah.

He's Iranian cyberintelligence.

I've heard of Shah.
I know what he's capable of.

Which also means I know
how difficult it would be

to pin him down.

- Do you have him in custody?
- Not yet.

If you don't have a piece to trade,

we have nothing more to discuss.

Yeah.

Release the two Americans.

Let's go.

It's OK.

You can walk across.

This way.

I can see him right there.

Strickland's in the back of that SUV.

If we pull two cars,
we could pin 'em down

and cut them off
before he hits the city.

Eric Rubin, Melissa Nguyen,

you're going home.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

Come on. This way.

He's right there, Wes.

It's not that kind of op.

We pull a stunt like that,

there's no begging
for forgiveness later.

Iran takes that as an act of war.

Yeah. Got it.

Hey, the owner of the
jewelry repair store, Fatemah?

Turns out she's related to Shah.

Second cousin, twice removed.

How is this coming to us now?

Shah's family records were purged

when he joined
the Iranian cyberintelligence.

Celeste just got into some
state hospital archives.

This is big, Amanda. Thank you.

You guys turned the jewelry shop owners

over to the local cops, right?

Yeah, but we just got word
they're about to be released.

What's going on?

They're our connection to Shah.

If we get him in custody, we
can trade him for Strickland.

You and me. Let's go.

Agent Mitchell?

Hi. We need to speak
to Ahmad and Fatemah.

This way, please.

There they are.

We can charge both of you

with aiding and abetting Zahra's escape.

Now, seeing as how your
role in all of this

was relatively minor, I don't
want to have to do that.

But Iran still has an American
in their custody,

and I just got orders from Washington

that I got to trade one of you
for that American.

We didn't know who she was.

- We don't know anything.
- That's a lie.

Here are the options.
Either you help us find Shah,

or we're going to hand
one of you over to Iran.

Which one do you want to go with?

Well, I don't know. Do we really care?

No. No, I don't care.

So one of you is going back to Iran

and you get to try your luck
with the MOIS.

Now, I hear they're not
as polite as we are,

but I wasn't born there, you were.

So you tell me.

What's it going to be?

Yeah, I'm done burning time.

You. Let's go.

- Come on, get up.
- No.

- Come on.
- Oh, OK. OK, all right.

OK, OK, OK.

Earlier today,
we received a call from Shah.

Mohsen Shah called us.

He told us to open up the store
and let that woman in.

No questions asked.

But that's all we did.

I'm going to need you
to call your cousin for me.

Can you do that, Fatemah?

OK. Hopefully we get 20
seconds of a clear connection here.

- Everyone good to go?
- Yep. Ready.

- OK, you good?
- Absolutely.

OK.

OK, ready?

Ready.

What took so long?

The police came to
the store asking questions.

What did they ask?

They wanted details about Zahra.

I said I didn't know her.

Good. OK, from here on out,

it's better
if we don't communicate.

- Anything?
- Need more time.

Huh? You call me out of nowhere.

You say, auntie,
I need your help.

You need to get us out of this.

- Now?
- Almost.

Your mother would
be ashamed of you.

You just wait!

OK, Khale, OK.
I'll... I'll work it out.

There he is.

We're good. We got him.

Let's roll.

Mohsen Shah.

I don't know.

I don't know what you think
I did, but I can help.

I have information.

You're under arrest for
aiding and abetting the escape

of a prisoner in U.S. custody

and for assaulting
five federal officers.

You have him?

You?

Yes.

OK, let's do this.

Let's go.

Lieutenant General Strickland,

it is my honor to shake your hand

and tell you you're going home.

Thank you.

We're out of here.
