We, um... We can't find him.

We don't know where he is.

[reporter 1] You're following the dramatic flight

of TWA Flight 847,

which was hijacked

in Athens, Greece,

about seven hours ago.

[Gary Berntsen] We see him all over the place.

[Marty Martin] He wanted to make his brand known,

but not seen.

[Hanin Ghaddar] From Kuwait to Latin America and everywhere,

it was Imad Mughniyeh.

[reporter 2] In Argentina today, 17 people died

when a bomb went off in the capital, Buenos Aires.

It destroyed the headquarters

for the country's largest Jewish organization.

[Berntsen] I spent a lot of years looking for him.

We worked on elaborate plans to capture him.

No one was really sure what he looked like,

where he lived

or what bank accounts he survived on.

Kind of like a ghost in this Middle East.

For many years, there was a question

of how we can get an updated photo of Imad Mughniyeh

because he started to behave as a shadow man.

[reporter 3] More than 3,000 pounds of explosive power

ripped the front off the eight-story

military dorm in Dhahran.

Over the years, Hezbollah has become a state within a state.

And it was getting bigger and bigger.

This guy's not only winning,

he's winning in ways that he hadn't even foreseen.

[reporter 4] The President was quick to say

that Iran's government is behind attacks

on American troops in Iraq,

and that explosives used in those attacks

were provided by an elite Iranian unit.

Every meeting I had, Mughniyeh came up.

This was a guy that was driven. He was committed to his cause.

Before 9/11, he had killed, or was responsible for killing

more Americans than anyone else in the world.

[reporter 5] In the Middle East tonight,

Hezbollah attacked an Israeli warship

off the coast of Lebanon.

You know, someday someone's gonna have to take this guy out.

You've got to find him.

You've got to find Mughniyeh.

pensive music

[man 1] Radwan!

[man 2 speaking Arabic over phone]

[Imad speaking Arabic]

[cell phone flips shut]

Mustafa.

[Mustafa speaking Arabic]

Mustafa...

[in English] Don't move! Don't fucking move!

-Move! Or I'll kill you! -Okay, okay!

-You're coming with us! -[grunting]

Don't resist! Do it!

Come on!

[Daqduq speaking]

[in English] Don't worry. It's gonna be okay.

[gunshots]

[cell phone chimes]

[Lena] Hey. It's Radwan. Imad Mughniyeh. 100%.

suspenseful music

[Doug London] Syria, particularly Damascus,

would be a pretty safe place for him to be,

in terms of the protection he got from the Syrians.

It was a sanctuary, a safe haven for them.

Syria was out of depression.

So, you know, once you are in Syria,

you are immune.

suspenseful music

[Chiam Tomer] I think that Qassem Suleimani,

contrary to what might be said by others,

was...

I wouldn't say admirer of Imad Mughniyeh,

but he was listening to him very carefully.

I would say that both

were thinking about themselves as key players

in the takeover of the Shia in Lebanon

and maybe in other places in the Middle East.

[speaking Arabic]

[greets in Arabic]

[Suleimani speaking]

[Imad speaking]

[Suleimani sighs]

[Asgari, in English] I was the Deputy Minister of Defense.

At my level, we don't deal with foot soldiers.

Of course not. You dealt with Imad directly.

Yes.

Occasionally, I told you.

So where did you meet?

Damascus. Blindfolded.

And I think your ten minutes is up.

And what about this guy? Hmm?

He's bit older, around the same age as Imad.

Definitely not a foot soldier.

Daqduq. Uh, special missions guy.

I have no idea why Imad even trusted this idiot.

[Lena] So that's Daqduq,

one of your original gang in Lebanon.

So, Daqduq is trying to head into Iran

with four American hostages, but the border is closed,

so he executes them.

He wouldn't make that decision on his own, would he?

How should I know?

I was here, selling my soul to your CIA.

-Where would he go? -I don't know!

Southern Iraq, along your supply routes?

There must be a safe house.

[Suleimani, in English] "Dear General Petraeus,

you should know that I, Qassem Suleimani,

control the policy for Iran with respect to Iraq,

Lebanon, Gaza and Afghanistan.

With regards to the four American soldiers

killed in Karbala,

I swear on the grave of Khomeini,

I haven't authorized a bullet against US."

Tell the American it was a gift from Radwan.

[FBI officer, in English] ...help you

if I repeated the question?

[Lena] No. [sighs]

[FBI officer] I'm referring to the events

at the Provisional Joint Coordination Center.

There's no fucking time!

[imperceptible]

Okay. Ask him about Imad Mughniyeh.

He's a direct link.

That is not the focus of our investigation.

Now, excuse me.

[telephone ringing]

[FBI officer] Tell me about January 20th, 2007...

[Susan] Yeah.

It's Mossad, for you.

-Really? -Yeah.

It's the CTC line, patched through Langley.

Have fun.

Yeah.

[Teddy, in English] This is Lena?

Yes.

My name is, uh, Teddy from Tel Aviv.

Hello, Teddy.

So, uh, we understand that you have Daqduq.

[scoffs]

The FBI has Daqduq.

[chuckles softly]

Is he talking?

[Lena] Yeah.

He's a barrel of laughs.

I think I could help.

Yeah, I bet you could.

Tell me, Lena.

Do you think Saada is happy in her marriage?

Saada?

No, I think she's miserable.

Why, are you gonna kill her?

We have a capability that can help us both,

regarding Radwan.

I thought you called about Daqduq.

I think we should meet.

[cell phone flips shut]

-He wants to meet. -[Susan] The Mossad?

Yeah, they want a piece of Daqduq,

and he has something in return.

[conversation continues indistinctly]

[Lena, in English] Hello, Teddy. Welcome to Camp Bilad.

Morning, Lena.

I've never met a Mossad guy before.

Really?

What do you think?

Have a seat.

So I've been asked to play nice.

Me, too.

But I'm a little impatient to meet our mutual friend.

CIA and Mossad

are always driven by the need

to keep their secrets to themselves,

to keep their sources to themselves,

to keep all their sensitivities to themselves.

This is an obstacle.

Because when you are in cooperation,

you need to open up.

Do you know what we call you?

Daqduq the Mute.

'Cause you sit here silent, quiet, not saying anything.

You remind me a lot of Ali-Reza.

He didn't say anything at first, but...

then he told us everything.

Just like you're about to.

So here's what I know.

Radwan was at the Karbala raid

because he didn't trust you not to fuck everything up.

Which you did.

And so now you've pissed him off.

And you've pissed off Qassem Suleimani.

And those are two people you really,

really don't wanna piss off.

So what I wanna know

is all the details of how Radwan worked with you

to plan the attack that killed our soldiers.

[Daqduq] You know what?

I sleep very well in here.

A five-star cell.

You can speak.

You don't play music anymore to your prisoners?

That's fine with me.

I hate acid rock.

[humming tune]

You like that song, don't you?

[speaking Arabic]

[speaking Arabic]

I'll let my friend from Tel Aviv talk to you about your future.

[door closes]

I'm going to make this as short as possible for you.

And actually, you can help me make it even shorter.

We can talk here or we can talk in Israel.

Which do you prefer?

suspenseful music

Come on.

Did Imad plan Karbala?

He...

He was ordered to do it.

By Qassem Suleimani.

[Teddy] Did he plan it?

Yes.

-[Imad speaking Arabic] -[guard speaking Arabic]

[Teddy, in English] Was he there?

Yes.

Yes, yes.

[guard speaking Arabic]

[speaking Arabic]

[Daqduq sighs nervously]

[guard shouts in Arabic]

[Teddy, in English] Did Imad plan Karbala?

Yes.

[indistinct chatter]

-[Teddy] Was he there? -[Daqduq] Yes.

Yes, yes.

[Teddy] This is personal for you.

[Lena] You wanna know about my Hezbollah cousin.

Not me.

But there are questions.

If your army didn't stick around so long in Lebanon,

maybe he would be doing something else with his life.

I haven't seen him in 25 years.

Back then, he was a nice kid.

Let's talk.

I need you to tell me everything you have on Imad.

Come on, Lena. We all have our secrets.

How did you find Daqduq?

Ali-Reza Asgari told me where to find him.

He defected. He's with us now.

Ali-Reza.

Imad's recruiter back in '82.

Yeah, I'm aware of the history.

We can track him.

Imad, his movements.

Not precisely, not always consistently,

but we think close enough.

Okay.

So now Daqduq has confirmed

that Imad ordered the Karbala raid,

which means he's an imminent threat to the US.

I think I can get us a presidential finding.

A presidential finding?

So you guys want to kill him?

No.

What I want is to have him go on trial

and have him face his sins.

But apparently, we don't do that anymore.

No, we don't.

[Saada] Imad.

[speaking Arabic]

[speaking Arabic]

Imad...

[chuckles awkwardly]

[Saada speaking]

[indistinct chatter]

-[in English] Hey, Mike. -Have a seat, Lena.

I ordered you home.

[Lena] I was needed in the field.

And now you've decided we're worth a visit.

[Lena] I wanted to talk to you face to face.

Since you sicced the Mossad on me.

[Mike] How did you enjoy that?

I told them we have Ali-Reza.

-What? -Lena, that is not your call.

Come on. We were always gonna tell them.

Our highest ranking defector from Iran ever?

What did you get in return?

Imad Mughniyeh.

tense music

They've been tracking him.

We need assets on the ground.

I need to run the op.

Me and the Mossad goon will do it together.

[Robin] We don't run joint ops with the Mossad.

They have the intel, we have the resources.

[Robin] No, Lena, you can't.

[Steve] If something went wrong on the ground...

-[Robin] We couldn't help. -I still have my cover.

Try my colleague.

-[speaking Hebrew] -[Meir speaking Hebrew]

Teddy...

[speaking Arabic]

[speaking Hebrew]

[in English] You are the one who called?

-Yes. -Okay, please.

[speaking Hebrew]

[speaking Hebrew]

[Teddy speaking]

[in English] This is the apartment.

Welcome. Have a seat.

[Lena] These are gifts from our embassy.

They are for general surveillance,

patterns of movement in the neighborhood.

-[man] It's all set. -Okay, thanks.

[Teddy] Good to see everybody got to Damascus safely.

We're ready to go.

[Teddy] Okay.

-Maia. -[Maia] Sure.

We think there are 15 different

apartment buildings in Kafr Sousa,

which the Iranians use as they please.

We need to cover the neighborhood

until we know exactly where and when they meet.

Which is usually every two weeks.

So Suleimani should be in Damascus soon.

And what about Imad?

He's also on his way. I saw his star trail.

His star trail?

I'm sorry. Who are you?

[Sarah] I track Imad.

-[Lena] How long? -Ten years.

And for the past six months, I've listened to Saada's phone.

Wissam's, too, the boy.

[Lena] Nice to meet you.

Okay, so how much time do we have?

[Sarah] I'd say 36 hours.

[Maia] We gave each building a different call sign.

Jaafer, Ayoub, and so on.

[Lena chuckles] It's the diplomatic neighborhood.

Same as us.

[Sarah] They must feel safe there.

[chuckles softly]

[Kerem on tape] You like this building?

[Tanya] Yes, it's very nice.

[Kerem] The broker is supposed to meet us here.

Looks old, but with so much fresh air, it's gonna be great.

[Tanya sighs] It's for us.

[Kerem] Act normal.

[Lena] Who the hell is that?

[Lena speaking Arabic]

[Ahmad] Mm-hmm.

[Lena, in English] Shit.

Uh, Lena, don't engage.

Lena, please stay where you are.

Lena...

If anything happens,

wait for the embassy to contact you.

Okay.

[officer 1 speaking Arabic]

[Kerem speaking Arabic]

[Kerem speaking]

[in English, in French accent] Tanya, I was looking

everywhere for you.

[Teddy] Lena.

[Kerem, in English] We got the list of apartments.

[Teddy] Lena, don't engage.

Wafa...

-[Lena sighs] -[cell phone ringing]

[Lena, in English, in normal voice] Hey.

Lena, I have a headache.

Take something.

I know, I know. I'm a baby sometimes.

But I get a headache when I don't understand something.

Now, Imad lives his whole life in the shadows.

He's the best operative ever.

He's so careful, he's so precise.

But these recent movements of his,

I cannot comprehend.

He meets Suleimani in Damascus.

-Makes sense. -Yes, of course.

But why so often?

They have a lot to talk about.

Maybe.

But he's moving a lot of money from South America.

I know. I saw the intel.

Do you think Imad is trying to do

an end run around Suleimani?

I don't know. It's something different.

[Amos Yadlin speaking Hebrew]

[in English] Think about it. He'd been running for years.

He'd been doing it for years. He got comfortable.

And when he got comfortable, he slipped up.

And someone saw him,

or someone got a piece of intel, and...

[Teddy] Lena, you're looking for Al Ward Street.

Uh, you'll see a mosque opposite a park.

Yes, it's a big crossing.

-Closer? -No, this is fine.
