[sighs]

I had an operative shot in the head
this morning at point-blank range.

[Imogen] Maybe not another coincidence.

ISIS doesn't usually go in
for clean assassinations like that.

Like they were trained by another entity.

Got a light?

[David] The ship has departed
and is en route to Marseille

to meet you and head to America.

The Djinn Al Raqqa confirms she's still
in Paris with the British woman.

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

Are you hoping to see some old friends?

[Adilah]
I just haven't been here in years.

[Emir] Adilah, this insanity has to stop.

[Imogen] I know who he is.

[Adilah] It's not what you think.

[engine revving]

[grunting]

[Emir] The explosive device
is secure on board

and soon we will depart for the US harbor.

[Magritte]

We received fresh intelligence.
There is a ship.

It contains some kind of device
that will be detonated in a US harbor.

We know it's being organized
by a terrorist 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.

[birds twittering]

[siren approaching]

[bell tolling]

[tolling continues]

[surveillance agent, in French]

[French person]

[surveillance agent]

[door slams]

[surveillance agent]

[moped engine revving]

[revving continues]

[siren wailing in distance]

[sighs]

Fuck!

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.

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

[phone beeps]

Yeah. Hello.

Uh, I don't know who was in here,
but there's a horrible odor in my room.

Yeah.

- All right. Thank you.
- [beeps]

[sniffs]

[engine rumbles]

[horn honks]

[phone ringing]

Yeah.

How the fuck?

We got $10 million worth
of surveillance equipment.

Seven operatives surrounding a single
apartment building with one way in

and one way out.

How the fuck?

[engine rumbling]

[phone ringing]

Imogen. Speak to me.

Tell your people she's wearing
black jeans and a green jacket.

I know because
they're 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.

[rustling, water sloshing]

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 gray overall.

This was a smart operation.

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

He's undoubtedly part
of the terrorist cell.

Send backup. 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]

What do you want?

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 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?

[phone ringing]

So what's it gonna be?

[in French]

[engine rumbling]

[yelps]

Hey!

[bike approaching]

[screams]

- Are you armed?
- Yes.

Hand it over.

Slowly.

It's not what you're thinking.

Who do you really work for?

Answer me.

[agent]

[gunshot]

Fuck.

[agent]

[agents speaking French]

You fucking morons!

Why didn't you shoot him in the leg?

He was surrendering.

Clean this up.

[sighs]

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

I'm going back to the apartment.

[door opens]

Adilah.

The organization, 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 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 have devised a plan like this,

but you have to prove you're dedicated.

You know what will happen
to Yasmina if you fail?

They will kill her while you watch.

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 killed,

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 sighs]

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'll be waiting with the Imam.

I leave for Marseille later tonight.

[helicopter approaching]

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

[sirens wailing in distance]

Take this.

Here's the detonator and the chip.

Everything was delivered
to Paris as promised.

I'm so happy you will have this honor.

- [wailing continues]
- [helicopter whirring]

[door closes]

[tires screech]

[helicopter whirring]

[officers speaking in French]

[Matthew] Sir.

Sir, you have zero jurisdiction here.

We are only here because we have
intercepted French police comms,

which is illegal,
and we cannot let them know that.

It'd be better all around if we got back
in the car before they realize who we are.

Let the French police do what they do.

What the French police do
is they do fucking 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 fucking waiting and watching.

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

We break some fucking rules
and break some fucking bones.

[wailing passing outside]

[phone buzzing]

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 very 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 DGSE's
best-kept secret. I'm coming in.

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

I'll be there in an hour.

[sighs]

[Max] The head of the terrorist cell,

which we believe is planning
a major attack on the United States,

has escaped from our remote custody.

I wanna 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 has 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.

The French police and security services
are conducting a nationwide search

for the woman,
but I hold out very little hope.

We have information
that the plot involves a frigate

allegedly carrying some kind
of dirty bomb.

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.

Yeah, 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.

They all have dense populations
for hundreds of miles around them.

Any of those harbors would have,
on average,

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

Forgive me. We're talking about
a needle in a fucking 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 asks, "What the fuck?"

A rumor 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 Security Secretary] 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 Security Secretary]
Do what you need to do.

[keyboard clicks]

[Magritte, in French]

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 murderer.

She is 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 at that too.

[Malik exhales]

The thing is, I know she would've told me.

I know it.

[door opens]

[gasps] Bloody hell.

Damn fine pad you got here.

Friends in high places?

Yes, actually.

I was hoping you'd be coming
with your girlfriend. [chuckles]

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.

[Imogen sighs]

Come on, Max.

What the fuck?

[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...

See, it's not about that. [chuckles]

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

It didn't work, Imogen.

It hasn't worked,
and we're running out of fucking 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... [smacks lips]
...if she happens to come by...

I know you'll contact me
immediately, right?

[phone buzzes]

[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.

And you came real close. Real close.

[door closes]

[in French]

[in English] It's okay. It's okay.

[in French]

[in English] Okay? Okay.

[US surveillance op 1]
New activity. Trash collection.

[US surveillance op 2] As scheduled.

[US surveillance op 3] Roger that.

[bells tolling]

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.

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.

But we need to do it immediately.

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.

My people will kill Yasmina if they think
I betrayed them to the fucking 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. I can't.
- Listen to me. Listen.

[Adilah breathes heavily]

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.

Please. Please. You have to trust me.

[Imogen] Fuck it.

[sighs]

The woman saw me.

She had a gun. She took her.

The Djinn Al Raqqa will succeed.

Report that she has the detonator.

Once she surrenders, we get them
on the plane immediately, okay?

- [knock on door]
- And then...

Yeah, hold on a second.

I got a call from the surveillance team
around the girl.

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.

[glass shatters]

[chattering, laughing]

[people whispering, shushing]

[keys jangling]

[all, in French]

[Malik's mother]

- [laughs]
- [younger man speaks French]

[Malik]

- [Malik]
- [Malik's father chuckles]

[Malik's mother]

[phone rings]

[Malik]

Hello.

[Magritte, in French]

Okay.

[family chattering]

[sighs]

[Imogen] Thanks for the update.

I have to go.

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 realize 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] 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 ass over and over,

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

So the least you could do

is be fucking 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?

[scoffs]

Shut up.

My own eyes!

Just shut up.

Please.

[sighs] "My daughter.
My daughter. My daughter."

[stammers] 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 terrorist

and see if that improves
your parenting skills?

What the fuck would you know
about being a mother?

Everything!

Everything.

God. Maybe I don't know.

Never mind. I forgot.

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

[muttering]

To ever feel lost. The only one.

You know, millions of people have
shitty lives and shitty opportunities,

and they do not join a terrorist group

and plan an attack
to kill 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 are choosing this over her.

I had no fucking 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.

- You...
- 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.

[scoffs] Right.

[chuckles]
'Cause it was so sad, wasn't it?

'Cause Mommy left, and Daddy left,

and you were all alone
when you went to Oxford...

Fuck off.

...and fell in love with a handsome man
who gave you the opportunity

to become this glamorous spy.

Fuck 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?

'Cause there are millions of people,
families, including mine,

who have been murdered, displaced.
Our lands occupied, colonized.

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 all your 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.

[sniffles]

We are the same. [sniffles]

Because if killing 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.

[engine starts]

- [engine rumbles]
- [tires squeal]

[tires screech]

[Mr. Demir] Can you remember her face?

[door opens]

I know what you were gonna do today,

and I know you did not want to kill me.

So I'm going to choose to believe
that you are 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?
