- Shalom.

Will you be dining
alone, sir?

Uh, no, actually,
I'm expecting

my wife and daughter
any minute now.

Uh, two Cabernets
and a lemonade, please.

Of course.

Never a dull moment.

Thank you.

Miss, are you okay?

We need some help here.

Help! She needs help!

Liad Meidar,

a brilliant Israeli-American
nuclear physicist

who disappeared 29 years ago

after a café bombing
in Tel Aviv.

Long presumed dead,

but he may have
just been located

in North Korea.
How do we know?

Because the North Koreans
were just dumb enough

to send out his picture
in this propaganda photo

from their latest
ICBM test launch.

None of those guys
look very Israeli.

Yeah, so thought
the North Koreans, Mills.

More Israeli
than Korean now, no?

The DNI believes
it's Liad Meidar.

They believe he's been
held captive all these years

and forced to work for
the DPRK's nuclear program.

- That's horrible.
- Horrible, right?

I mean, just...
Just gut-wrenching.

Bright young thinker like that

co-opted by a hostile and
disgracefully inept government.

Forced to do its...

Excuse me...
High-end dirty work.

Meidar would be an invaluable
intelligence asset.

He was a rising star
in the '80s.

His biggest breakthrough

was with miniaturized warheads.

Which the North Koreans recently
developed for themselves.

Exactly,
which means he might've just

outlived his usefulness...
To them, anyway.

We need to know
everything he knows.

I don't know, 29 years?

You sure this guy's
working against his will?

Look, if Meidar
had wanted North Korea

to have miniaturized warheads,

they would've had them
20 years ago.

All right,
so then we just

waltz into North Korea
and pull this guy out.

Without anyone
knowing it's us.

This whole thing
is a nuclear tinderbox.

To be clear, okay,

we're talking about
the most isolated, secretive,

and uniform society
on the entire planet,

and one of you
is a 6'2" white dude,

so failure is
very much an option.

If you are caught,
we're on our own.

The DNI will deny you exist.

But on the off chance
you succeed,

the DNI will take
all the credit,

so I mean, you know,
you'll always have that.

Can I count
on you two for this?

- How do we find this guy?
- Already did.

I took an old photo
of Meidar from August '89

and I aged it up to produce
this approximate image

of what he would
look like today.

- Ajna did that?
- No, Ajna didn't do that.

That-That's my own code.

All Ajna did was
take this new image

to cough up geo-coordinates
of Meidar's latest location,

which really,
to hear myself say it,

is kind of impressive.

What I can't tell you, however,

is how to sneak the Odd Couple

across the border safely.

Hmm, backpack
and some hiking boots.

Only way in
is a bus from China.

I know a spy who knows a guy.

Let's go.

Supreme Adventures.

They take brave
and/or idiotic travelers

on heavily regulated tours
of North Korea.

My money's on idiotic.

No phones,
no weapons on the tour.

Not really feeling
this plan yet.

What's the matter, Mills?

Can't survive two hours
without your cell phone?

No, I got reading material.

North Korean children's books...

Quickest way to grasp
an unfamiliar culture.

That's great, Mills.

Reading at a sixth grade
reading level, well done.

Kidding.

Hello.

Are you guys looking
for a little adventure?

Uh, we think so.
Is the tour safe?

Safe? Of course.
It's totally safe.

North Korea
just has a bum rap.

Well, didn't someone die
on one of these things?

Uh, no,

someone got arrested
on the tour

then later died
of natural causes, so...

In a North Korean jail cell.

It'll be totally safe
if you obey the laws.

You guys wanna book
this tour or what?

Um, yeah, yeah, okay.

Uh, two tickets
on today's bus, please.

- Today's?
- Mm.

Honey, the paperwork
takes at least a week.

Um, "honey,"
that's... that's sweet.

You know what? Let me...
Let me talk to you for a minute.

Um, now, I have proof

that you've been
using this bus

to smuggle Hollywood bootlegs
into North Korea...

Capital offense
in that backwards-ass country.

And that soldier
is gonna find out

unless you put us
on that bus

and inform the driver
that we have a new first stop.

There you go.

We'd hate to see you
get arrested.

Okay, I'll make it work.

You know,
I can redirect the bus,

but it's gonna be
impossible to get off.

That soldier's gonna be
riding with us.

Don't worry.
I'll think of something.

Thank you so much.

Thanks.

I'm starting to detect
somewhat of a theme

in these children's books.

So many perfect
little woods creatures

living under the constant threat
of the malicious savages

outside the forest.

Hey, our stop is coming up.

We're almost
at Meidar's location.

Not a word.

Don't worry.
It's totally safe.

Needles just got
a bum rap, right?

We were never here,
you understand?

Oh, my God.
Stop the bus!

I told him
I'd think of something.

He'll be fine
in five minutes.

The roof will be the best way
to avoid detection.

You're not afraid
of heights, are you?

Not if I'm being shot at.

Okay.

Three, two, one.

Meidar's last known location

isn't the hellscape
I was expecting.

I've seen worse,

but this is definitely
a prison.

Fenced perimeter,
armed guards on the quad.

And would you look at that?

It's really him.

Alive and well. Huh.

What is this place?

How do we get him
out of it?

*TAKEN*
Season 02 Episode 07
Title: "Invitation Only"

How's our pothead
of a tour guide doing?

Still foaming at the mouth?

Nah, the bus is long gone.

All right,
we are officially stranded

in enemy territory.

This is a pleasant surprise.

Smuggled my satphone
in my backpack.

I don't recall
authorizing that.

I mean,
I figured it's better to...

ask for forgiveness
than permission.

Here's Mills, all right?
Hold on.

Meidar's alive.

He's living in some sort
of residential prison compound.

It's gated and guarded.

And Meidar isn't
the only white guy.

See?

Sounds like he's living
in one of North Korea's

invitation-only zones.

It's these communities
of kidnapped foreigners

that sprouted up
in the late '70s

during a state-sponsored
mass abduction campaign.

Yeah, there were potentially
hundreds of kidnappings.

Many of them were
Japanese teenagers,

but North Korea took citizens
from any number of countries,

like Italy and Thailand.

That fence looks electrified.

How many of these places
are there?

Unclear. They were
longtime open secrets

in the intelligence community.

Yeah, man, where you been?

They've been mainstream
since 2015.

You gotta get yourself
on Reddit.

All right,
the lady in the red shirt...

That's Keiko Hanami.

She disappeared
from a Japanese beach

during a family vacation
in 1979.

I'm literally reading
her obituary as we speak.

How is a place like this
allowed to exist?

It's a failure of diplomacy.

Yeah, that,
and nobody discovered

a million barrels of oil
buried beneath the quad.

How soon can you
get to Meidar?

Not until after sundown.

But what then?

We just leave
the others behind?

I'm sorry, Bryan, but...

that's the best
we're gonna do for today.

- How soon can we have the exfil?
- Sit tight.

I'm gonna talk
with my contact.

Wait, that could be her
right now.

Hello?
What if I told you

I smuggled in
a second satphone?

Are your people
still alive?

As promised.

They're almost ready
for their ride home,

anytime after sundown
tonight.

I told you
I would do this, but...

No, no, no.

We are beyond this part
of the conversation.

But the risk is considerable.

No one outside
of Chinese intelligence

- is aware this asset exists.
- No one beyond this bench

can know my team
is in the country.

On any normal mission,

I would have
three contingencies.

But this isn't a normal
mission, is it, Kai?

You gave me your word.

You owe me your life.

Okay.
I'll send the helicopter.

But, Christina,
it has to start before sundown.

Every night at 8:00 p.m.,
the state requires

North Koreans
to turn on their TVs

for a report from Dear Leader.

It's a sort
of dystopian fireside chat.

All eyes will be
on those screens,

which means you two
can move out in daylight

a full seven minutes
before sundown.

They're making sure
all the TVs are on.

Talk about
a captive audience.

At 8:15,
a helicopter

will be making its weekly
delivery to the docks.

It'll be flown
by a Chinese asset.

I wouldn't be angry
if you smuggled an M4

inside that snack pack.

Next time.

You need to be
on that chopper

when it lifts off at 8:20.

You cannot be late.

China will not risk
exposing its asset.

Am I clear?

Easy, easy.

Liad Meidar?

Nuclear physicist?

Abducted 29 years ago
in a café in Tel Aviv?

Just nod if I'm correct.

Who are you?

It's Bryan Mills.
This is Santana.

We're Americans, Liad.

We're here
to bring you home, sir.

We have to move extremely fast.

We have to be out of that door
in less than five minutes.

Okay, I just need
to collect some papers.

It's critical intelligence.

We have to move, Liad.

These are nothing...

To-do lists.

Who did you call?

Who did you call, Liad?

Security.

Why would you call security?

Because I praise Dear Leader

and hate the vile Americans.

If this is another
loyalty test,

I think I just passed
with flying colors.

This isn't a test.

Look.

Your daughter, Rachel,

in 1989 when she was
three years old.

This is her last month
in Rockville, Maryland,

with your grandsons,
Lincoln and Dean.

And if you ever
wanna meet them,

you need to send the guards away
as soon as they get here.

Forgive me.
They've tested me before.

We're on the clock, Liad.

We have to leave the second
you send those guards away.

And how do I know
we won't be killed?

Listen, they find
two Americans in your house,

we are all dead.

Mills!

Stop.

It's okay.

These people are friends.

Please be gentle.
He's my son.

Is his mother in this house?

You hear that?
It's the helicopter.

It's the weekly delivery
for our store.

It's our ride out of here.

Leaves in ten minutes
with or without us.

Liad, it's security.

I'm okay.
False alarm. Thank you.

Do we have a problem, Liad?

Chopper just landed.

Where's Mills?

Two men.

AK-47s.

It was a false alarm.

You make telephone call
by accident?

That's correct.

That's my son's bedroom.
Stop.

I am the lead scientist
for your nuclear program.

You disrespect me in my home,

I'll see to it
you pay a price.

That's enough.

Let's go.

We need more time.

We can try,
but don't expect it.

Are you okay, Joon?

What is happening?

Hey, come here.
I know.

We need to go.

Now.

We'll leave when he's ready.

They're here to take us
someplace different,

someplace better.

But we need to leave
right away, okay?

But I do not want to leave.

We are not allowed to leave.

Remember when you
were little...

The bedtime stories
I read to you?

Boston Tea Party,
the Statue of Liberty,

Princess Rachel
from the land of Tel Aviv?

Fairy tales.

Pretend stories.

Those places
and those things,

they're all real, Joon,
and if we leave right now,

we can go see them.

It's what your mother
always wanted.

Guys, it's now or never.

What do you say, Joon?

Would you like to meet Rachel?

Okay, great, let's go.

Oh, wait.

As chief scientist,

I have special privileges

with trust and access.

I wasn't kidding about
the critical intelligence.

Where's the fastest way
to the docks?

I know a way.
Come on.

Leaving now.

Five minutes.

Hurry, I was only able
to get you 60 more seconds.

What's in the case?

Every vulnerability

in the North Korean
nuclear program.

Enough to set them back years.

I would've done it myself,

but they would've
killed my son.

Thank you for saving him.

Oh, you can thank me
when we're in the air.

Come on.
Move, move, move.

Hold on.

All right, as soon
as they clear out,

we make our move.

30 yards to the chopper.

Then we're home. Okay?

Hey, Joon,
it's all right.

You're gonna love it
in America.

When I say go, we run.

You ready?

All right.

Hey!
Hey, Joon!

Joon!

Take this
and get on the chopper.

Tell Hart I need
another minute.

Hey, I am not leaving
without you.

This case is more important
than any of us.

You get it to safety now.

Go! Now!

He won't talk to me.

I offer my son a chance
at a better life, at freedom,

and he ran the other way
because he doesn't believe me.

He trusts state propaganda more
than he trusts his own father.

No.

He's just afraid.

Why wouldn't he be?

This is all he's ever known.

You're right.

His entire existence
is based on lies...

Lies I told him.

To protect him
from an awful truth.

You want an awful truth?

My 16-year-old son has
no idea what freedom is.

He's never seen real beauty.

That's not a life.
That's a facsimile of a life.

A life not worth living.

I'm gonna go talk to him.

Hey, Joon.

I'm Santana. We never got
a chance to officially meet.

It's all right.
I get it.

She's cute.

I can see why she'd
be hard to leave.

I read some of these.

But you know what, Joon?

The world is a lot
bigger and better

than those books
will ever say,

and I can prove it.

Check it out.

That's the Statue of Liberty.
See?

It's not just a fairy tale.
It's a real place.

And America
stands for freedom.

And anybody's allowed to visit
from anywhere in the world.

You know how sometimes
you lose electricity?

That doesn't happen
everywhere else.

And what about this?

That's nighttime in America.

That's New York City,

where people can be
anything they wanna be.

These are pictures
on a telephone.

Why should I believe you?

Because I used to live there.

North Korean kids are raised
to hate Americans,

so I told you
I grew up in Israel.

The truth is,
I'm a citizen of both.

I didn't tell you sooner
because I was protecting you.

I wanted you to think
your life was normal.

Maybe it was a mistake,

but I only lied to you
because I love you.

30 years ago,

I was taken from my old life
and forced to live here.

It wasn't easy,
but I survived.

You and Mom
made it easier for me.

But I sure wouldn't mind
going back home.

I think you'd
really like it there.

What about everybody else?

What about Ji-su?

We just leave,

and she never gets
to see all that?

It's big of you
to even ask that, Joon.

It is a good question.

How do you help
an entire country

understand
they're being lied to?

I know they've seen hints
of the truth, just like you...

TV and movies smuggled in
on thumb drives...

But not enough
to make any sense of it.

I have no idea
how to help these people.

I have an idea.

What if there was a way

for those pictures
to be seen by everyone, Joon?

How?

You have your own car
for work

with driving privileges,
right?

We saw a radio tower
on the outside of town.

If we could broadcast
those pictures to everybody,

would you leave with us
for America?

It's okay that you're scared,

but we're gonna
keep you safe, Joon.

I want to see Ji-su

one last time.

I meet her at lunch.

I'm sorry, kid.
It's too dangerous.

You want my trust.
I'm asking for yours.

We can't risk that.

I think we should.

I do trust you.
Okay, Joon?

Okay, well, for that to work,
we need to split up.

Your dad and I
will go to the tower.

Santana will stay here
while you meet up with Ji-su.

Then we'll all meet up
for a rendezvous.

Everyone okay with that?

Absolutely not.

I took a big risk
sending you that helicopter,

and your team failed me

by running
in the opposite direction.

As far as I'm concerned,
we're even.

There must be
something you want.

There is.

But you won't like it.

Yusup Tursun.

Yusup Tursun,

the leader of the Eastern
Turkistan Islamic Movement?

Right, he's responsible for six
terrorist attacks in China.

We want him.

The United States
doesn't have him.

Perhaps you have
a piece of software

that can help China
locate him.

The U.S. hasn't put him
on a kill list yet either.

Do you want
your people back or not?

Can I ask you
about Joon's mother?

Li-Hua Chen.

She was just a beautiful woman.

They forced us into a marriage
so we could have a child.

Someone they could kill
if you ever tried to leave.

But love finds a way,
you know?

We were just...

everything to each other.

But she died of TB

because they wouldn't pay
for her antibiotics.

I'm sorry.

The thing I always
wonder about is,

why me?

Why did they choose me?

Did they know I was weak?

Did they know I would cave?

Because I did.

But I didn't
make it easy for them.

I held out for seven years.

They beat me.

They starved me.

They locked me in a room.

But eventually I did crack.

I went to work
in their nuclear lab.

You made the most
of an impossible situation.

That's what you did.

You fell in love.
You had a son.

You built a life for yourself.

I want you to know

that every step of the way,

I sabotaged
their nuclear program.

I replicated every setback

anybody had ever documented.

That makes you a hero.

And when we leave here,

people are gonna
know the truth.

You seeing that, Kilroy?
Yeah, loud and clear.

Did you get your laptop
in a sync circuit?

Meidar did.

What's your read
on the security?

Uh, light,
maybe a couple of guards,

but your access point is on
the west side of the bridge.

Meidar's gonna patch me
into the tower, yes?

- Yeah.
- Okay, let me talk to him.

Let me walk him
through the procedure.

- He wants to talk to you.
- Hello?

Okay, Meidar,
we don't have a lot of time.

I-I need you
to listen very closely

and do exactly as I say.

Hey.

How you feeling?

I'm leaving forever

and was not allowed
to say good-bye.

And I did not.

You had a nice hug, though.

You were watching?

I didn't think
that unmarried couples

were allowed to hug
in North Korea.

Was that the first time
you did that?

It...

just happened.

All right.

Um...

go pack up your stuff, okay?

We're gonna leave early.

Come on.

Drop it.

Speak to me.

Nothing no problem.

Just had a run-in
with a guard,

so he might've got off
an alert.

You seeing any movement?

No, right now,
you're all alone,

but I wouldn't dillydally.

Father, I'm worried about Joon.

Radio tower, come in.

Radio tower, come in.

We might
have a problem at the tower.

How's Mills?

Halfway through
a suicide mission.

Why don't you tell me?

Can you run this name
through Ajna, please?

Yusup Tursun.

Sounds like
a Uyghur separatist

or a rebel pilot
from "Rogue One."

Why's he important?

Just run the name, please.

He's... he is a Uyghur
separatist, isn't he?

Wanted by the Chinese.

You want me to track him down
so you can trade his life

for a new exfil plan.

Um, this might come
as some surprise to you,

seeing as how I'm enchained
and everything,

but I've never actually
killed anybody before.

I am just asking you
to find somebody.

Yeah, who's gonna be dead
by the weekend.

Perhaps, but if you don't,

maybe Mills and Santana
don't make it to sundown.

Look, as an anarchist, okay,

I'm not particularly
excited by the idea

of playing executioner
for a nation-state, all right?

But as a Homo sapiens,

I-I'm really
uncomfortable playing God.

Tursun is a butcher

with the lives of 37 innocent
civilians on his hands.

I have been given the
opportunity to trade his life

for the life of our teammates.

Teammates,
bit of a stretch,

but okay, I'm listening.

Look, people are
gonna die either way,

that's a fact,

so don't think of it
as deciding who to kill.

Think of it
as deciding who to save.

And if that's what you call
playing God, Kilroy,

then so be it,
but you know what?

It's not always
gonna be this easy.

- How we doing?
- I don't know.

Maybe five more minutes?

Yeah.

There's a vehicle
on the approach,

and I got a million bucks
that says it's not Amazon Prime.

I'm on it.

Keep working.

Go in! I got him.

You okay?

I'm not done yet.

There's no shame
in leaving now, Liad.

No, just another minute.

Okay.

Definitely not Amazon.

Mills, get the hell
out of there.

You got three military trucks
six miles out

with no regard for speed limit,
all right?

You gotta get the hell
out of there.

How we doing there, Liad?

Almost.

'Cause we have
a situation outside

and we need to leave right now.

I'm almost done.

I'll call you back.

We got about five minutes

before more guys
show up with guns.

Whenever you wanna go,
I got your back,

but we should probably go.

I made a promise to my son.

Do you wanna know
why they chose you, Liad?

It's because
you're exceptional.

You crippled the North Korean
nuclear program

for two decades
and never got caught.

And that was the hard part.

Now you just gotta
connect an antenna.

You can do this.

You can do this, Liad.

- Okay.
- Wait, it's electric!

Hey!

Where are you going?

You heard me.

Where is your father?

Huh?

You can tell me.

Joon, move!

It's okay.

Don't worry, Joon, all right?

Funnest part is gonna be
stealing that car.

Okay.

Let's go.

Yusup Tursun's
last known location

as of 19 minutes ago.

Pleasure doing business.

You good to go?

Thank you.

How we looking out there,
Kilroy?

Well, the good news is,

I got the radio tower
signal here.

If Meidar
installed it properly,

they won't discover
the hack until we use it,

so I'll able to broadcast after
you're, uh, you know, killed.

Copy that.

You trained in
the Israeli military, right?

That was a long time ago.

Well, it ain't
rocket science.

Gun.

You drive.

Start the car!

Go! Go! Go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Reverse, reverse.

When I say "now," brake

and turn right
as hard as you can.

Now!

Bryan?

Bryan!

Bryan!

Stay straight, Liad!

He's not slowing down.

Do not stop!
Do not turn!

You need to shoot!

Stay the course, Liad.

Stay the course.

Easy.

You wanna go home?

It's on my to-do list.

Good.
Good.

Hart's contact
is sending a mini sub.

Should be here
in a few minutes.

- We gotta make this fast.
- Yeah.

Do we need to worry
about him?

Kid's having a hard time.

Do you mind
if I talk to him?

Go ahead.

I know this is all
a lot to take in,

but what your dad
did today for you

and for the people
of North Korea

is one of the bravest
things I've ever seen.

And the reason he did it
is the same reason

he does everything else
in his life...

'cause he loves you.

Can I ask for your help,
Joon?

This briefcase has
the name and picture

of every foreigner
in North Korea

being held against their will.

If you're ready,

I think you should be the one
to turn over the files.

Only if you're ready.

I'm ready, Dad.

Let's go.

You got a minute, Kilroy?

Oh, want me
to kill somebody else?

No, I was hoping you could

send me that photo-aging
code that you wrote.

Oh, sure thing, you can...

You can age up the Earth,

watch... watch the whole thing
just melt away.

It's very disturbing.

Something else?

What you did for us
this week...

Oh, no, are you arresting me?

Thought maybe we should
set that bitch free.

What, this guy right here?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, that's
a very lovely gesture.

I actually hacked it
two weeks ago.

Look, I'm not saying
that I like you guys.

Uh, because, you know, I don't.

But, uh, I-I am saying
that I think...

I think you're interesting,

if not a little,

you know, insane.

Just don't forget
to send me the code.

"Kilroy was here?"

Seriously?

Never even left the SCIF.

We should be thankful
it wasn't porn.

It's Meidar's family.

Heads up.

Hello, sunshine.

I'm sorry I didn't call.

Hey, baby girl.

Have I got a story for you.

This is Joon, your brother.

Joon, this is Rachel,

the princess of Tel Aviv.
