.

- You ever hear of black sands?
- Hey, come on!

- What the hell, man?
- Next time,

It's not me sitting there,
and you're already dead.

- You need to stop.
- They are going to kill me,

And now that you're a witness
to all of it,

- They're gonna kill you too.
[gunshot]

[screams and grunts]

This is my nephew, aslam.
And now he's missing.

- Joe's been arrested.
- Joe abrams?

Threatened you?
I-i can help you.

Like you helped gentry?

- Where have you been?
- Sorry.

We were looking
for my phone.

- Who do you work for?
- Dad!

- What are you doing?
- Peter, what are you doing?

What are you doing
with my daughter?

[tense music]

¶ ¶

(maya)
do you have any orange juice?

I don't know.

¶ ¶

How could you not know
if you have any orange juice?

[eletronic trilling]

¶ ¶

We could go out.

What's the matter?

This was a mistake.

No, it's--it's not
that i don't like you.

Because i do.

I really like you too.

So?

Maya, i'm 21.

You're 17.

You're still in
high school.

Technically what we just did
was against the law.

Felt so good,
it should be.

I'm serious.

I could go to jail.

Don't be melodramatic.

You're dad's a lawyer and
psychotically overprotective.

I'm screwed.

You're sincerely
overreacting.

He just doesn't
know you.

And the way you guys met
was so...

Random and terrible.

Plus, he's been freaking out
about work and stuff.

Come to my house
for dinner.

My parents are psychopaths,

But they're nice psychopaths.

I promise.

¶ ¶

[groaning]

[grunts]

- [speaking native language]
- [speaking foreign language]

The boy on television
last night,

That's why you're leaving?

Yes, he is my friend.
I thought he was dead.

I have to find him.

Then he will understand
why it is not safe for you.

When you are better,
i'll find him

And bring him to you.

[speaking foreign language]

[speaking native language]

Please, understand,

I thank you for your kindness,
but i have to go.

[speaking native language]

[indistinct]

Yeah.

Merci.

Okay.

[speaking native language]

Monsieur girard.

How is bamako's favorite
candy man?

Drug trade
treating you well?

Flourishing, as always.

Touching show last night.

You watched my show?

A man of your
sophistication?

I'm touched.

That true?
That stuff about your nephew?

Of course.
I never lie.

You should know that,
my smuggling friend.

So why the sudden interest
in my show?

In me?

I think this
is the longest conversation

We have had.

It's my nephew, isn't it?

You know something.

I could find something out.

But i would need help
from you on something.

[both speaking foreign language]

¶ ¶

You've spoken to aslam?

Where is he?
Tell me now.

See now, you are
scaring the children.

¶ ¶

No.

¶ ¶

[dramatic music]

¶ ¶

Seydou?

[odelle grunts]

Seydou, what's wrong?
What happened?

Nothing.
Aslam not there.

Hasn't come back.

And?

(odelle)
seydou?

There was a man.

Someone i didn't know.

He was suspicious.

I may have
said something.

That--that's okay.

Can you describe him?
What did he look like?

White, medium tall,
french.

¶ ¶

Yes.
You must leave.

[door buzzer buzzes]

¶ ¶

You must leave.
This way.

¶ ¶

Sergeant ballard,
at long last.

[speaking foreign language]

- I don't think so.
[gun clicks]

Hello, odelle.

I don't know you.

No.

We have so much
to discuss.

Where is he?

The boy is safe and sound.

You can see him
if you like

As soon as you explain
to me why--

[both grunting]

Give it to me.

¶ ¶

You take me to the boy
or i kill you.

(odelle) how far?
(luc) ten minutes.

Takes any longer than that,
i shoot your face off.

- I'll keep that in mind.
- What did you do to him?

He didn't just give you
the flash drive.

I saved his ass,
for your information.

I nursed him back to health
when i found him

Almost dead in the desert.

I need a cell phone.

Why?

- I need a cell phone.
- Here.

[dramatic music]

¶ ¶

You're a drug dealer?

I prefer the term
facilitator.

[phone clatters]
- one that works.

¶ ¶

[keypad tones]

Who the hell
are you calling?

Home.

That's a big mistake.

You'll get us killed.

[phone line trilling]

¶ ¶

Are you listening?

(glen on phone)
this is colonel glen.

Odelle, is that you?

Odelle, we've been
extremely worried.

No, i wanted to talk--

- I was calling--
- we intercepted the call.

Odelle, we need to get you
to safety.

You are in grave danger,
sergeant.

I'm the only one
who can protect you.

Tell me exactly where you are
in bamako.

¶ ¶

Shame on you.

¶ ¶

Nsa, yes?

[tires screeching]
- what are you doing?

Congratulations.

Now they now you're alive
and where you are.

[keypad tones]

Come on, no more calls.
Not on my phone.

I said not on my phone!

[speaking foreign language]

Listen to me.
You may want the world

To know you're alive,
but i don't.

Trust me, the world treats
you better when you're dead.

Drive!

¶ ¶

(male reporter)
and finally this week,
the story that has stirred

So much controversy
is put to rest.

Sergeant odelle ballard
is buried with honor.

Poor family.

It's so tragic.

[cell phone beeps]

¶ ¶

I thought you were
going in late today.

Meeting.
Just got word.

So this is over?

Things will be
getting better now?

¶ ¶

(tsaldari)
i'm still not convinced.

- Are you?
- They buried her.

- Full military honors.
- I've seen reports

Of osela security operating
in bamako, mali.

They're still
looking for her.

You don't know that.

Where are you headed now?

Soc. Alex baker wants
to talk to me.

- About you.
- Face to face?

- He sounds desperate.
- He's anything but.

Alex is vulnerable.

Odelle ballard
is still alive.

He still wants
to meet with you.

Tell him that the next
prime minister of greece

Doesn't meet
with criminals.

[ominous music]

¶ ¶

[car door closes]

Peter.
Thanks for coming.

Have a seat.

You are a busy man.

Busy attacking me
and my company.

In the normal course
of due diligence,

I found evidence
of illegal activity.

Sophia tsaldari gave you
a document as well, didn't she?

About a certain
wire transfer?

We've cooperated with
the relevant authorities.

We've isolated the source
of the problem.

[scoffs]
joe abrams?

You're aware of the stakes.

The soc's debt holdings
in greece.

That sophia plans to cancel
once she becomes prime minister.

Well, she can't do anything
without a legal basis.

If sophia associates
the soc with terrorists--

So you're saying
it's not true?

You didn't make a deal
with abdul abbas

And then murder and lie
to cover it up?

I'm saying that
we're not the only ones

Making deals with terrorists.

This was taken
four years ago

At a crude oil exploration site
in pakistan called black sands.

You recognize sophia

With her late husband,
christos.

Reportedly killed by terrorists
at black sands.

His company, athena oil,
had staked a claim there.

The other man
is yusuf qasim.

A terrorist.

The defense department labeled
him as the jack of spades.

Where'd you get this?

It's authentic.

Sophia's husband wasn't killed
for being a terrorist.

He was killed because
he was in bed with them.

So was his wife.

They gave him money,
travel documents,

Violated international law.

The situation is anything
but simple, peter.

What about danny gentry?

Hmm?
Odelle ballard?

Those soldiers?
Joe?

I take no responsibility
for lieutenant gentry

Or the soldiers.

As for joe,

If you persuade sophia to
negotiate with us in good faith,

It all goes away.

It's that simple?

It can be.

Talk to her.

Remind her how
the timely release of this photo

To greek newspapers

Could dramatically
affect the election.

She'll meet.

She has to.

This is the game, peter.

One we can all win.

¶ ¶

(ruby)
harrison?

Hey, what are you
doing here?

Hey, uh, the times is doing
an obituary for, uh, my dad,

And my mom wanted me to talk
some guy named emerson about it.

- You?
- I pitched a story.

They weren't interested.

So, your, uh,
father's obituary?

Yeah. A friend of my dad's
is writing it for the times.

You, uh, want some company?

Excuse me, i'm, uh, i'm looking
for emerson's office.

Thank you.

[knock at door]
- oh, harrison, right?

Yeah, i remember you

As a kid running around
like an idiot.

Nothing's changed, huh?

I'm sorry
your dad's dead.

- Thanks.
- Who's this? Girlfriend?

Just a friend.
Ruby simms.

Such a waste.

Your father was
a bastard.

He treated me like dirt.
I hated him.

Everyone did.

But i was desperate
to work with him

'cause he was
so damn good.

Fyi, the obit they're writing
about your dad

Is a load of crap.

Uh, when did you and my father
stop working together?

Who says we did?

So, what?
You were working with him

When he wrote about
black sands?

Black sands?

Uh, it's--
it's got something to do

With my father's murder.

I thought the old man's libido
got him killed.

Just before his death, he spoke
to a man named david tenant.

Tenant?
From gbr?

He's an idiot.

Black sands. Black sands.

I remember black sands.

We were in, uh, pakistan
doing a story

On private military
contractors.

Um, blackwater, dyncorp,
osela.

Um, american oil
and mineral companies

Had assets in black sands.

Pmcs were sent in
to keep the peace.

Protect assets and asses.

This guy...
Was at the center of it.

Yusuf qasim.
The jack of spades.

Your dad's source.

His source was
a terrorist?

Not according to your dad.

He said the whole thing
was a lie.

Well, who knows?
Special forces raided the place.

Yusuf was killed.
The story died.

(harrison)
mind if i take this?

Nope.

Now,
about your dad's obituary.

Got anything nice
to say?

(isabel)
i'm sorry to be so skeptical,

But frankly,
since your funeral,

Odelle ballard, quite
a few people around the world

Called to say
they are odelle ballard,

Or that odelle ballard
is still alive.

Most of them certain
your death

- Is part of some conspiracy.
- I am odelle ballard.

Isn't all the information
i've given you so far correct?

Yes, and also easily obtained
from the internet.

(odelle)
all right, call home.
I'll give you the number.

Speak to ron.

Ask him if suzanne
were a boy

What we would have
called her.

He'll say jefferson
after her grandfather.

No. I'm not contacting
a grieving family.

Okay, my commanding officer
on the task force

Was called
richard worthington.

Before we bugged out, he was--
he was--he got engaged.

I'm the only person
that knows.

Her name was lucy mcgrath.

Now if that checks out,

What time can i meet you
in bamako?

Well, if it checks out,

I can be there by, uh,

Noon tomorrow.

Where will you be?

Um, i need a public place.

Somewhere crowded.
Safe.

A public place,
somewhere crowded!

Club cachette,
rue pasteur.

Club cachette,
rue pasteur.

- 12:00, noon.
- Okay, odelle ballard.

Please be odelle ballard.

If i'm coming all the way
to bamako--

Well, we'll see.

[phone beeps]

[ominous music]

¶ ¶

[all speaking french]

¶ ¶

Serena, odelle.
Odelle, serena.

¶ ¶

You are alive after all.

Where's the boy?

Well, yes, he got hungry
rather suddenly,

Right after he saw
shakir's show about him.

¶ ¶

Yeah, i know where
he lives.

¶ ¶

[both speaking arabic]

And i should just tell you
after what you did?

Fine, yes.

My german friend
found her alive,

- But it's complicated.
[knock at door]

¶ ¶

Aslam?

¶ ¶

God, you're alive.

¶ ¶

I thought you were dead.

Very close.

He found me and brought
me here to bamako.

I was looking for you.

You're okay?

He took your jump drive.

I took it back.

(luc)
okay, what do you say
we see what else is on there?

Has to be more
than what i saw.

I think you should leave.
Now.

Ah, come on.
You heard the little man.

I'm the one
who saved him.

That's worth something,
is it not?

[speaking french]

I'm going to count silently
in my head to five.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

Can i, um--
can i use your computer?

He was a terrorist.
The department of defense said--

He lied.

They called him a terrorist
in order to kill him.

Soc controls
the department of defense?

Politicians do.

What was buried beneath
the ground in black sands

Was worth billions.

My husband knew it.
So did alex baker.

My husband got there first.

Baker needed an advantage.

- So he paid abbas.
- Yes.

He paid him
to kill my husband.

It was business.

Why didn't you
tell me that before?

Would you
have believed me?

What about
yusuf qasim?

Yusuf was a good man.
He helped us.

So we gave him what he needed
to survive.

But he was killed.

The u.S. Military
tried to kill him,

But they failed.

He was gravely injured
in a raid,

But he survived.

He isn't dead?
Where is he?

I wish i knew.

He could tell the world
what societele has done.

[scoffs]

And once you prove it,
you'll cancel billions

In soc owned debt.

Makes you a very popular
prime minister.

You don't believe me?

You've seen what
alex baker has done.

The man should be
in jail,

And when i am prime minister,
i will put him there.

I'm going back
to athens tonight,

But we should continue
to talk.

[ominous music]

¶ ¶

Peter?

I'll be right back.

¶ ¶

Are you following me?

Of course not.

I'm here with a friend.

Stay away from me

And my family.

All due respect, but i think
you're losing it, sir.

[door opens]

¶ ¶

It was nice seeing you again,
mr. Decker.

[tense music]

Gbr industries.
How may i direct your call?

May i help you?

We're here to see
david tenant.

Of course.
Do you have an appointment?

Tell him harrison walters
is here to see him.

Okeydoke.

Harrison walters
for mr. Tenant.

Oh. Okay.

Mr. Tenant requests
that you make an appointment.

He has an opening
in six weeks.

Tell mr. Tenant it's regarding
black sands and yusuf qasim.

It's regarding
blacks sands and joseph qasim--

- Yusuf qasim.
- Yusuf qasim.

Sorry.
Still six weeks.

He's not gonna talk
to you.

Tenant was there.

He knows why my father
was talking to a terrorist.

I'm not giving up.

Thanks, michelle.

Do you two need
anything else?

We're good, hon.

(joe)
she's a good woman.

Doesn't deserve
any of this.

I know.

Do you know
about this?

No.
Should i?

That's tsaldari
with her husband

And a known terrorist,
yusuf qasim.

The jack of spades.

Yeah, so?

I need to get something
on baker.

Something that'll keep him
from using this

Against tsaldari.

Maybe he should.

It's a set up.

The guy's not
a terrorist.

[chuckles]

So now the jack of spades
is innocent?

Yes.

I'm not sure.

But he was set up.
I do know that.

And i also know
baker's desperate

To make a deal
with tsaldari.

He even offered to make
the charges against you

Go away if i get her
to cooperate.

What?
[scoffs]

This is just a game
to you people, isn't it?

Guess what.
This is my life.

If tsaldari doesn't
play ball,

Baker is gonna release
this photo

And take down
her campaign.

If that happens,
you go to jail,

And he gets away
with everything.

All of it.

I can't let that happen.

All right,
what do you want from me?

A phone number.

I want to meet
your friend, the trash man.

He's a criminal.

He's been in and out
of jail a dozen times.

You're the one who said,
"nothing illegal."

This is a nuclear bomb.

I have to do this.

Just...
Give me the number.

[ominous music]

¶ ¶

[knock at door]

(man)
sir?

- What?
- Odelle ballard.

She made another call.

¶ ¶

Sir, you probably
shouldn't--

- Get my clothes.
- But, sir--

[clattering]

[grunts]

Do it now.

If anyone's gonna get
a kill shot on ballard,

It'll be me.

Do it!

¶ ¶

So joe gave you
my number, huh?

Sure, i can get you into
soc's mainframe,

But you're not gonna find
anything good there.

Why not?

Multinationals took all of their
secure stuff off-line.

Afraid of hackers.

They use
data centers now.

Data centers?

Yeah.

It's like warehouses,
stuck in the middle of nowhere,

Filled with computers.

And you know where
soc's data center is?

For the right price,
i do.

Gonna cost you
five large.

Plus i'm gonna need to find
someone with credentials

To get me inside.

When i was working on
soc's last merger,

I was given
a secure passcode.

It's still active.

Great.
Problem solved.

You'll come with me.

No, i won't.

Would you rather give me
your passcode?

I didn't think so.

So when do we do this?

[ominous music]

¶ ¶

You got my number.

Give me a call
when you got five grand

And the balls
to actually do this.

[knock at door]

- Who is it?
- Bob, it's me, harrison.

[door unlocking]

Hey.
You remember, uh, ruby?

(rose) who's there?
- Nobody, ma.

Is that your mother, bob?

Are you gonna
let us in, or--

(rose)
what are you doing?
Let them in.

- Hello, harrison.
- Hey, mrs. Offer.

[both chuckle]

- This is ruby.
- Hi, good to meet you.

Are you friends
with my bob too?

Yes.
Bob is a special guy.

Yo, ma, we're--we're--

We're kind of in the middle
of something here.

Why don't you go watch
your program, okay?

Well--
[chuckles]

[scoffs]

What do you want?

I found out more
about black sands.

My father had a source,
a terrorist, yusuf qasim.

You heard of him?

Uh, i-i don't know.

All right, well, listen.
I need you to look into him.

See how he relates
to tenant and my dad,

Maybe even odelle ballard.

I-i can't.
Uh, computer's shot.

- What?
- Uh, entire system.

Decimated.

I can't help you anymore,
harrison.

You should leave now.

- Good-bye, mrs. Offer.
- Good-bye, dear.

[speaking arabic]

You ever heard of a place
called black sands?

(aslam)
no.

I don't know.

[exhales deeply]

But if i would have known

How many people
would have been killed

By taking that...

I hooked up with
a journalist from paris.

She'll be here tomorrow.
Maybe she'll...

Put an end to all of this.

I hope so.

[footsteps approach]

We have a problem.
General diallo.

But diallo is your friend.

When he's alone,
he's my friend,

But not with his soldiers.

You need to hide quickly.

[knock at door]

[speaking french]

[knocking continues]

- Yes.
- Aslam.

Take this.
Get inside.

[suspenseful music]

¶ ¶

[knocking continues]

[sighs]

How can i help you, general?

There's been a report

That the american woman
soldier is on the premises.

We've come to search
the house.

Now step aside.

¶ ¶

There must be
some mistake, general.

No mistake.

¶ ¶

Why are you doing this
to me?

I am doing my job.

But we had a plan,
my love--

Hey, keep your voice down.

We said that odelle
would appear on my show first--

She can't be on your show.

How would that look?

I rescue the american woman

And then hand her to you?

Look at you.

Now give her to me,
or i will rip this house apart.

¶ ¶

If you take her,
i will tell.

Tomorrow on my show,
i will broadcast our love

To all of mali.

You promised
you'd never do that.

(shakir)
but we had a plan
to be together.

That--that was never
going to happen.

I thought i told you that.

¶ ¶

[whimpers]

¶ ¶

[whispers]
oh, god.

¶ ¶

[clicks tongue]

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

(sarah)
nightmares for months.

(cameron)
did you dream about him a lot?

(josh)
yeah, i did.
I did, really.

- Peter.
- What's going on?

You remember cameron?
I invited him for dinner.

[whispers]
be nice.

(cameron)
yeah.

Hey, dad.

Hey, bud.

Maya.

(cameron)
yeah. Oh, thank you.

Mr. Decker.

Thanks for inviting me over
to dinner.

- Yeah.
- I appreciate it.

(maya)
thank you, daddy.

[mysterious music]

¶ ¶

(sarah)
josh.

¶ ¶

Hey, you sure
you don't want to come?

Food's supposed
to be great.

I'm good.

¶ ¶

(anna)
is that the terrorist?

My father didn't
think so.

¶ ¶

Harrison, your friend
is here.

¶ ¶

What are you doing?

- Come in.
- Hi.

Hi, bob.

¶ ¶

Thought your computer
was down.

It got fixed.

Odelle ballard's funeral?

(bob)
you wanted me to find out
about that cleric, yusuf qasim.

- Yeah, but--
- oh, wait for it.

(bob)
i found him.

That's him?
He's alive?

(bob)
i used face recognition
software.

I scanned everything
i had.

Why was he
at ballard's funeral?

I don't know,
but he's not dead.

¶ ¶

[bob chuckles]

What?

You see the guy
next to him?

- Yeah.
- Recognize him?

- Wait, is--
- yes!

One of the ones who wanted to
build a mosque at ground zero.

Imam khulus.

[keys clacking]

¶ ¶

He's got a mosque
in coney island.

[car lock beeps]

¶ ¶

I thought i told you
to stay away.

Your wife invited me.

She wouldn't take no
for an answer.

Ah! Stop!
Mr. Decker, stop!

You and mr. Baker don't get
to mess with my family.

Ah! Okay.
Okay, stop.

Look, he's paying me
a lot of money!

Son of a bitch!

¶ ¶

You stay the hell away
from maya.

Or what?

You gonna tell her
the truth about me?

Who do you think
she's gonna believe?

You or me?

¶ ¶

[engine starts]

[tones chiming]

¶ ¶

It's decker.
I'm in.

Yes.
5 grand.

But there's something
you have to do for me first.

¶ ¶

[both speaking french]

No.

[phone rings]

[dramatic music]

¶ ¶

(serena)
hello?

[gunshot and glass shatters]

¶ ¶

(man)
direct hit, sir.

(majors)
confirm target.

[gun clicks]

Let's go.

¶ ¶

It's not ballard.

Move out.

[knock at door]

[knocking continues]

[suspenseful music]

¶ ¶

Somebody there?

¶ ¶

Who is it?

¶ ¶

Hello?

Anyone there?

¶ ¶

[knock at door]

¶ ¶

Who's doing that crap?

¶ ¶

[grunts]

Message from mr. Decker.

¶ ¶

(bob) you see him?
(harrison) no.

There's the guy
he was with.

¶ ¶

What if your father
was wrong?

- About what?
- About yusuf.

What if he really is
a terrorist?

¶ ¶

Is that him?

(bob)
that's him.
What do we do?

Do we just go up
and talk to him?

- Just--just wait.
- Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.
Go, go, go, go.

Come here.

¶ ¶

- Let's follow him.
- Follow? Really?

Go.

¶ ¶

What are we going to say
to him?

I don't know.

Well, we should think
of something.

What do you say
to a terrorist?

(harrison)
he's not a terrorist.

¶ ¶

Damn it.
Where did he go?

¶ ¶

Hey!

We had an argument.

He wanted to take you
to the embassy,

But i know
that's not safe.

I wanted to bring you
on my show

And tell the world

But that would also
show the world me and diallo.

It's impossible.

Hey.

But the world will know.

I have a reporter from
the new york times coming,

Here at noon tomorrow.

She's gonna tell my story.

Is she coming here?

This is perfect.

She'll write your story,
then after,

You can come on my show.

Diallo will have nothing
to do with it.

This is good.
This is good.
