All language subtitles for American Odyssey S01E09

.

I discovered a file

About a societele project
called socrates.

If you don't do what they want,
they'd hurt the children?

Bye.

All you need to do
is drop

Your ill-advised investigation
of my company.

You'll stay away
from my family?

- Who is it?
- Uh, someone named khulus.

He wants to meet with you.
Can i tag along?

It's not her ring,
they got it wrong.

I'm not sure
it means anything.

No, aslam.
We need a mechanic.

We'll not stay here.
There are bandits on this road.

[men shouting
in native language]

[aslam coughing]

[men laughing]

Aslam...

[speaking foreign language]

Hey, luc.

She's mine.

I don't think so.

Okay, man, i will blow your
brains all over this desert.

Then your little band of idiots
will kill me

Because they
won't be thinking

About my much bigger band
of idiots

Who will hunt each one
of your men down,

String them up
by their testicles,

And let them hang
until they die from the pain.

It's about the money, huh?

Get in the car.

(peter)
welcome back.

It's good
to see you, peter.

- You look like hell.
- [chuckles]

Well, thanks.

Shall we?

(tsaldari)
four years ago,
yusuf vanished from our home.

I hired private investigators
to find him.

They tracked him to london

Where he was staying with
a muslim cleric--imam khulus.

Ultimately,
the trail ran cold.

Do they have any leads
in new york?

Not yet.

Once i hear from them, we'll run
down whatever they found.

"we"? Yusuf is still
the jack of spades.

The future prime minister
of greece

Can't be seen
in the same universe as him.

Then make sure
that he knows

I am in new york expressly
for him.

It's critical.

I need you to meet
with alex baker.

Why would i
do such a thing?

Because
i'm asking you to.

Meet with the man who had
my husband killed?

I'm not asking lightly.

If i mean something to you,

If what we--if what we had
meant anything at all,

You'll do this
for me.

Now who's
manipulating who?

Are you forgetting about
that photo of you with yusuf?

If you don't engage
with baker,

He'll use it
to torpedo your campaign.

Buy us time...
To find yusuf.

Without him, we have nothing.

You can do that.
At least do that.

Fine.

And for whatever it's worth,
i am loyal to you.

And i would never hurt you.

I know.

[call to prayer playing
on speaker]

- What is your name?
- Harrison walters.

Good.

As-salaam alaikum.

Alaikum as-salaam.

(khulus)
does anyone know you're here?

I didn't--
i didn't tell anyone.

Our friend has said kind things
about your father.

Y-you mean yusuf, right?

So what is your plan?

How can you be
of help to us?

By finishing
what my father was writing.

And you work
for the new york times,
the washington post?

No.

I can do this.
I will do this.

[pen scratching]

Wait outside
the barbershop there--

3:00 p.M., be prompt.

Allah hafiz.

Thank you.

[door opens]

So the fellowship reaches the
exit to this place called moria,

Where these massive
fire demons are created

By the first evil lord,
you know, before sauron.

And then there's also this book
called the silmarillion.

A tale within a tale.

Yeah.
Tolkien is so boss.

Thanks, you know,
for buying me the book.

It made me happy too.

Yeah, i should probably go.

My dad.

Oh, i got you something.

You okay?

You know, if something's
bothering you,

I might be able to help.

You know, i want to help.

It's my mom's ring.

It's not hers.
I know it.

What makes you say that?

It's got the right date...

You know, which is
the wrong date.

It's obvious,
but my dad won't see it.

He keeps saying there's
probably an explanation.

And i'm like,
"yeah, duh, they're lying."

I don't know.
He treats me like i'm crazy.

What do you think?

You're not crazy.

I think you'll know the truth
when you feel it...

In here.

And until you do,
you don't know the truth.

- Think so?
- I do.

And so does every person
who ever wrote a book.

- For me?
- Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

(odelle)
all right, so what's happened?

You wouldn't be here
unless something had happened.

Hmm?

Where are we going?

What's that?

Luc?

Luc? All right,
stop the truck, now!

[gasps]

(luc)
surprise.
He came to my house.

The son of a bitch
came to my house.

So you killed him
and brought him here?

He's not dead.

What?

They showed up,
as you said they would.

It wasn't enough
they had to kill serena,

Now they're trying
to kill me?

Well, that's not gonna happen.
I will not let it.

[inhales sharply, groans]

Yeah, that's right,
you son of a bitch.

Now i get to decide who lives
and who dies.

How long have you had him?

Three hours,
four maybe.

A tracker?
Oselas wear trackers.

Let me see it.

- Why?
- Curious.

So what now, genius?

You brought him here.

The man needs
serious medical attention.

What, you want to save him?

What's your plan?
We sit here and watch him die?

No. We'll go to my house
in timbuktu.

I have supplies there.

[engine turning over]

We go to his house
in timbuktu.

What?

I will guard him.

No, aslam,
that's not a good idea.

It's good.
I will watch him.

[engine revs]

He so much as blinks,

Bang on that window,
and you get my attention.

- You hear me? If he blinks.
- Okay.

[car door closes]

Hey.
Where's mom?

You okay?

What's up, kiddo?

When are we coming home?

Mom won't tell me.

She says she's fine,
but i hear crying at night.

And i don't even know
why we left.

Please don't get
a divorce.

I'm sorry
about cameron, okay?

And if that's why you guys
are fighting,

It's my fault,
and i'm sorry, okay?

Listen to me.
You listening?

None of this has anything
to do with you.

Your mom and i aren't
getting a divorce.

It's just some things at work
i need to deal with.

But none of it is
worth you worrying about.

We'll figure it out,
your mother and i.

But it is never, never you.

Okay?

Or your bozo brother.

[both chuckle]

Why doesn't
she say that, then?

She never
tells me anything.

Because she's your mom.

And she's trying to protect you,
and that's what moms do.

Hmm?

[cell phone ringing]

[sighs]

I'm sorry, sweetie.
I need to take this.

[cell phone beeps]

- Sophia.
- Peter?

We found him--
yusuf's contact,

The cleric from london.

He emigrated here
three years ago to run a mosque.

What's the name
of the mosque?

Al kaoutar,
in coney island.

Okay, i-i'll be there
as soon as i can.

Go now, peter.
Time is not our friend here.

Okay, i'll go now.

Was that
sophia tsaldari?

Yes.

Mom talks about her.
Doesn't like her very much.

I love you, sweetie.

Head back to grammy's.

I'll check in
with you later, okay?

Imam.

I'm peter decker.
I called earlier.

I know you're being watched.
I was careful.

I have to talk to yusuf
in person.

I'm sorry, mr. Decker,

But as i told you on the phone,
i do not know this man yusuf.

We both know
that isn't true.

I know
you're protecting him.

I know about
black sands and soc.

I know yusuf is innocent.

Good luck with your search.

Sophia tsaldari
asked me to come.

She's in new york.

She asked me to contact you
and offer her--

Our help.

What kind of help?

We can get him to greece

He can tell his story safely
under her protection.

Tsaldari i know.
But who are you?

Look me up.

I was with
the justice department.

I'm sure this yusuf person
would find that most comforting.

I know the back channels
that can get him out of the u.S.

I'm a friend.

I want to help.

Think about it
and call me.

I'll meet
wherever he wants.

My cell number's on the back.

- [snoring]
- what's going on?

My mom's sleeping.

Ruby's lying about who she is,
and i have proof.

The real ruby simms
died when she was 16--

Murdered.

Look.

What is this?

They went to camp together.

She's been lying
from the beginning.

She told us she was
from time magazine, remember?

Yes, and she
explained that.

And then there was that thing
that happened in the park.

What thing at the park?

Nothing.
L-look, she's been lying.

And now she's even lying
about who she is.

Who she is, harrison.

Plus, i don't
trust anyone with...

Explanations.

I just--i didn't want you
to do anything rash,

Without you knowing this.

She's dangerous.

You can't get too close.

"too close"?

Yeah, too close.

I care about you, harrison.

I just wanted you
to know that.

Okay, and i care
about you too, bob.

Really?

Yeah, i mean--
[chuckles]

No, that is--

That's not
what i meant by that.

No, harrison, i, um...

- Oh, god!
- It's okay.

It's okay, bob.
Just...

Don't worry about it,
and, uh, i'll, uh--

I'll talk--talk--
talk to you later.

[door closes]

Hello.

What do you want?

Please.

My husband already spoke
yesterday to homeland security.

I also know he's in contact
with yusuf qasim.

He arranged a meeting
with a young man,

Harrison walters, who came
to your mosque last night.

So here's your choice.

I tell my superiors
what i know today

And set your world
on fire.

Or you tell me one little piece
of information,

And then you and your terrorist
husband get to live in peace.

What is this information?

Where and when is
harrison walters meeting yusuf?

Where were you?

Bookstore.

Set the table?

Was that woman there?

How many times
have you seen her?

- Twice, three times?
- Three times.

It's not a big deal.

We just talk
about lord of the rings.

No, of course not.

I just--

I need
her phone number.

- For what?
- To talk.

I need to know
who she is.

Maybe we can have
her over.

[knock at door]

Colonel,
please come in.

The unfortunate reality is,

And i'm sorry
to be so blunt, suzanne,

Sometimes the bodies
of our soldiers

Are stripped of valuables
before they can be recovered.

The army, in an effort

To spare military families
any more heartache,

Will often replace
sentimental items

Such as wedding rings
from their records.

So the army made
another ring?

I'm afraid so.

I didn't know about it,
of course,

Or i would've put
a stop to it.

You're a liar.

Suzanne.

I'm sorry
you feel that way.

He may believe you,
but i don't.

Julia's the only one
who listens to me.

Maybe that's why
you think it's so wrong.

Suzanne.
Come back here!

It's an emotional time.

It's a lot for a young girl
to take in.

[door slams]
- i should go talk to her.

Yes, of course.

I've kept you
long enough.

Oh, by the way,
who's julia?

(luc)
may i ask you a question?

Why did they tell you
to download it?

What are you
talking about?

Hey, come on,
i was in the army.

I know you don't even hiccup
without getting permission.

They didn't ask me
to download it.

[scoffs]

So all of this is happening to
me because you defied an order?

Yeah. Wait.
You were in the army?

What, like,
the french army?

The foreign legion.

You do realize, if you had just
followed the order,

You would not be here.

I wouldn't be here.

The people who are dead
would still be alive.

Yes, i am aware of that, luc.
I'm very aware.

I downloaded it because i knew
there was something off.

I just didn't realize
how off.

In fact, i could never imagine
i could be that far off, okay?

I had a good life
until you came.

So when did you get
discharged?

Hmm?
From the army?

Do they even call
the foreign legion an army?

What, you went awol?

You went awol?

I don't want to talk
about it, okay?

I bet you don't.

Huh.
That explains a lot.

(alex)
shall we get started?

At last,
the people's candidate of greece

Has agreed to sit down
with us.

You can thank peter
for that.

Oh, yes.
Thank you, peter.

And thank you, sophia,
for taking time to sit with us

During the last days
of your campaign.

I can imagine how demanding
your time must be.

How could i not meet
with a man

With such a distinguished
reputation?

Congratulations.

I hear the campaign
is going very well.

Now, what do we do

About the greek debt problem?

If you're elected--

When i'm elected,

I will implement my promise
of debt reform,

Root out corruption
wherever i find it.

- You mean default.
- "default"? No.

No, it is merely
following the law.

Well, goodie for us.

Since soc has not done
anything illegal or corrupt,

That won't be a problem.

Peter, why don't you present
our offer to our guest?

I think she'd appreciate it most
coming from you.

Of course.

My client is willing to accept
50 cents on the dollar,

Effectively cutting
your balance due in--

Half, yes,
i understand mathematics.

If greece defaults
on the debt,

Your price of credit
will skyrocket.

Your country will need
another bailout,

And the cycle continues.

Our repayment terms
are very lenient,

Allowing greece
to avoid bankruptcy.

You'll be seen
as a fiscally responsible leader

Right out of the gate.

You knew my husband, christos,
mr. Baker.

What do you think
he would say about this deal?

I'd like a moment alone
with ms. Tsaldari, please.

[tense music]

¶ ¶

[cell phone rings]

(khulus)
i didn't know who else to call.

What is it?

You said you could get him
to greece,

Protect him.

Can you?

Yes.
I'll do everything i can.

In one hour,
he'll be at bashshar barbershop

On avenue h in coney island.

Someone was here just now.

I don't know if they were fbi
or homeland security,

But they threatened my wife.

She told them
the meeting place.

I'm leaving now.

[protestors shouting,
sirens wailing]

[tense music]

¶ ¶

Harrison walters?

Are you yusuf?

No, he's close.

[siren wails]

¶ ¶

- Why should he trust you?
[gunshot]

[people screaming]

¶ ¶

Hey, hey!

Hey, who the hell are you?
Hey!

¶ ¶

[siren wails]

[siren wailing,
horn blaring]

[heartbeat thumping]

(ruby)
harrison!

[horn honks]

Harrison!

Harrison, hey!

What happened?

Are you okay?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

I heard
about the protest,

And i came here
to write a story.

What happened to you?

Uh, i was--

I was supposed to meet yusuf,
but it--it wasn't yusuf.

It was someone else.

And suddenly,
his head blew up.

His head blew up.

Come on.

Let's go home.

Come on.

Come here.

[frank coughs]

No, no, no, wait, wait.

You're that kid, right?

The one who took her
to tessalit.

No, no.
Don't you want to hear about it?

Your father?
How he died?

Come here.
[coughs]

Let me tell you.

He was brave.

He suffered.

[grunting]

Stop! Stop the car!
Stop the car!

What the--

Aslam!

Hey, you okay?

Come on.

Your gun.
Give me your gun.

It's okay. It's okay.
Here, lean on me.

There's only one person here
who wants you alive,

And that's me.

Don't push it,
or i'm gonna kill you.

Unless i kill you first.
[coughs]

Let me tell you a secret,
my stupid friend.

You've failed to kill her
how many times?

Huh?

And now here she is
on a silver platter

Delivered by me.

So here's what
we're gonna do.

Since i've been so helpful,
you and your osela friends

Will take her
and this whole mess away.

And i will never see you
or any osela ever again,

You understand?

He doesn't get it.

He thinks talking to you
is dumb or something.

He just doesn't like it.

Unless he can get
to know you.

He wants you to come over
for dinner.

That's okay, right?

Suzanne, he's your dad.

And i know
he might not be showing it,

But he's in a lot of pain
about your mom.

I know,
but that doesn't mean--

He's going through a lot
right now,

And i don't want
to make things harder.

I think it might be best
if we just--

I knew it.
I knew he would ruin this.

I hate him.

You don't mean that.

I do.

He's frozen.

Mom's alive,
and he just sits there,

Ruining everything
for me.

Suzanne,
it's not his fault.

He's doing
the best he can.

Look, i'm sure
we can see each other again.

I think it's just important
that we--

[choking]

Suzanne?

Are you okay?

- [gasping]
- oh, my god.

Somebody call
an ambulance, please.

[people shouting]

How are you feeling?

Harrison, you okay?

Who are you?

I mean, really, for once,
the truth, who are you?

I don't--i don't know
what you're talking--

Bob found a photo of you
when you were younger.

Your name
wasn't ruby simms.

My real name is
rikki castillo.

This is complicated.

I'm listening.

I was--i was abused
when i was little.

So, to get away
from my parents,

Every summer i went
to this sleep-away camp.

It's, like, a camp
for troubled kids,

You know,
juvenile delinquents.

My best friend was a girl
named ruby simms.

I remember this field,
and at the far end of it

Was this galaxy of fireflies

Swarming everywhere.

She called it
the edge of the world.

We hung out there
every night,

And she told me

That her dad
had touched her.

I was ten.

She made it sound so bad.

And i didn't know
up until that point.

So i told her it happened
to me too.

She told me

That i needed to tell
a counselor or somebody,

So i did,
and all hell broke loose.

I was in foster homes
for seven years,

Got kicked out of schools.

When you bring a life

Into this world...

That's a promise.

Every promise that's ever
been made to me has been broken.

It's not self-pity.

It's just the facts.

So, when an army recruiter
came to my school,

It made sense.

It's a commitment,
so i signed up.

Wait.
You were in the army?

Yeah.
You wanted the truth.

So what happened
to your friend?

I was mad at her.

Her advice
ruined my life,

Or so i thought.

She wrote me
these long, handwritten letters,

Telling me
everything she felt

And thought and saw...

And that she didn't care
that i was mad at her,

That she still loved me.

And then one day,
the letters--

They just stopped coming.

And...

Turns out social services,
in all their wisdom,

Said it was okay for her to go
back home, that it was safe.

But it wasn't safe.

She--

One day she...

She stood up to her dad,
and...

He--he beat her to death
while her mother was at work.

So i gave up
my military benefits.

I was honorably discharged
at 22,

And i took her name...

Hoping to make
a new life for myself

Where no one
could find me.

You mean your--
you mean your father?

Yeah.

She was my best friend.

So, taking her name,

It kind of made that
true for me.

[scoffs]
it's stupid.

No, it's not.

I didn't tell you,
because sometimes,

You know, when you tell people
the darkest thing,

They can't handle it.

They run away.

Don't be afraid of me.

W-wait.

- What's wrong?
- Just slow down. Slow down.

Look at me.

Stay with me, okay?

- Suzanne ballard?
- Right over there.

Oh, sweetheart.

What happened?

I'll be outside.

Yes, thank you.

What happened?

You know you're not
supposed to eat nuts.

You're usually so careful
about that kind of thing.

I don't--

You don't what?

She was going to stop
being my friend.

Oh, gosh.

Do you know what you almost did
to yourself?

Do you know
what it would do to me

If anything
ever happened to you?

Do you?

I'm sorry, daddy.

Thanks
for taking care of her.

Of course.

She's gonna be fine.

But they're keeping her
overnight.

- Look, this has been really--
- i feel like i owe you--

Sorry. Sorry.
You go first.

I know you mean a lot to her,
but i don't know why.

What do you two talk about?

Lord of the rings, mostly.

Okay, um, look...

Clearly, you're
very important to her...

More than i realized,
which is fine.

But i want to be
a part of it--

Need to be a part of it.

I need to know
who you are...

Or, uh, get to know you.

I really am bad at this.

Can we have coffee
sometime?

Yeah, i'd like that.

In fact, i think it's important
that we talk.

There are some things
i should--

Great.

Okay.

How about thursday--

Café arnoux on sullivan,
about 10:00?

I love that place.
It's perfect.

Okay.

[doorbell rings]

I'm sorry to stop in like this.
I just--

After what happened
to you today,

I thought
i should check on you.

[sighs]
come in.

Where's
your security detail?

I gave them the night off.

I want to feel normal
for once.

[chuckles]

Is there any more
of that wine?

Of course.
[chuckles]

Where are my manners?

Thank you.

So what do you think
happened?

It wasn't
homeland security.

Last i heard, they weren't
assassinating people

On american soil.

This is societele.

I'll check back with khulus
tomorrow, see what he knows,

See how it affected yusuf.

What happened with baker
after i left?

You mean after
your elegant proposal?

You were so enthusiastic,
i thought for a moment

That you actually believed
what you were saying.

I mollified him
by telling him

I would think
about his offer.

But you, peter...

You will keep trying
to sway me, won't you?

After all, you have
40 million reasons to do so.

[scoffs]

Sophia, i...

I had to make
baker believe

That i had
switched sides...

That the threat to my family
had changed things.

Is this true?

[sighs]

I--

I've lost my family.

My career is over.

Yusuf is a shadow
out there.

Would i take that money?

I don't know.

But i need a fallback,
a place to land--

Shh.
It's okay.

It's okay.

This is terrifying.

It is.

There are times
when i feel hopeless.

Then i remember
that i have a secret--

A way that
i am certain to win.

I have you.

[dramatic music]

¶ ¶

I'm sorry.
I can't.

I just--

I-i just want
my family back.

I understand.

[chuckles]
i should go.

[distant door closes]

[suspenseful music]

Stay here.

¶ ¶

[screams]

What the hell
are you doing?

This is where i live.

I could have killed you.

Since when do you have a gun?

Next time, call me first.

I didn't have a phone, okay?

I got in a fight with mom,
and i just wanted my bed...

My room, my stuff.

I'm so--i'm so sorry.
I'm sorry i scared you.

[footsteps approaching]

What is this?

What's going on?

Sweetheart, no, no,
you don't understand. I--

- Maya!
[door slams]

[sighs]

I want you stop acting
like it's a burden to know you.

It is.

Ma.

I'm making peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches.

Do you want one?

[indistinct chatter on tv]

Ma. Ma!

[music playing on tv]

¶ ¶

[gasps]

Ma?

¶ ¶

Ma!
