"Hey." "Tomorrow." "After the interview." "It will all be done by then." "And we can go on as planned." "Now, do they know I'm here?" "And if they don't know..." "Saida?" "Saida?" "Saida?" "Saida!" "Test that man for steroid use." "You know, Dad, analysis of classic Sudoku has revealed six and a half sextillion possible completed grids and five and a half billion essentially different grids." "But none of that is gonna help me with this particular problem I have." "You could also save time by using a programme to solve the puzzle." "Charlie, the object of doing the puzzle is to relax by wasting time." "Using a solution programme is relaxing for some people." "Charlie, are we still on for lunch tomorrow?" "I was meaning to tell you," "I need to cancel because I have an appointment tomorrow." "Well, not necessarily an appointment." "Might we say a date?" "Susan Berry's in town." " So we'll just reschedule, all right?" " Okay." "Susan Berry?" "Wait, she lives in London, right?" "She does." "She's a neuroscientist there." "So, what's she doing in Los Angeles?" "She's here on her book tour." "Book's called The Neurology of Ecstasy." " Eppes." " Oh, the old nucleus accumbens?" "That's right." "And she's invited me to a reading on campus." "All right, on my way." "Hey, guys, I gotta go to work." " Okay." " So say hi to Susan for me." " You got it." " See you later." "Tell me the scores." " Dad, see you later." " Yeah." "It sounds like you're still carrying a torch for this woman." "Not at all." "We're talking years ago." "I mean, I know, I know..." "I don't..." "We're talking..." "No, but what are we talking?" "What happened?" "Careers." "Long distance." "It'll be great seeing her again." " Definitely." "Nine, nine, nine." " Back off, Rain Man." "Victim's an Iraqi national." "She's a lawyer named Saida Kafaji." "She was here in L.A. participating in a documentary about women's rights in Muslim countries." "We've got boot prints in the dirt over here." "He must have jumped out right as she was coming around." "No sign of a weapon yet." " She fought him." " Well, not for long." "Throat was cut right to the spine." "No hesitation marks." "Looks professional." "It ain't wrong place, wrong time, huh?" "No." "I think somebody just didn't want her making that documentary." "I want you to cover her body." "Don, this is Nasreen Kafaji, the victim's cousin." "She lives here." "The victim was staying with her." " Listen..." " Please, cover her body." "I have been asking for an hour." "Okay, okay." "Miss Kafaji, come here for a second." "We need to collect evidence." "Now, are you the one who found her here?" "It was the neighbour's dog, Don." "Oh, God." "I'm terribly sorry for your loss." "But we're gonna have to interview you." "Not until you cover her body." "She's been avoiding our questions since we got here." "Make sure she doesn't go anywhere." " All right?" " All right." "Tommy, let's get a sheet over her, huh?" "We all use math every day:" "to predict weather, to tell time, to handle money." "Math is more than formulas and equations." "It's logic." "It's rationality." "It's using your mind to solve the biggest mysteries we know." "The victim was an Iraqi citizen here on a work visa sponsored by the Women for Peace and Justice." "They're making a documentary." " She was an activist?" " Definitely." "There were death threats against her by an extremist cleric in Baghdad." " A fatwa?" " Not officially." "The cleric who threatened her is so extreme, the other ayatollahs want nothing to do with him." "Officially, they want nothing to do with him." "Unofficially, he could be doing their dirty work." "Women had more rights under Saddam than with these extremist clerics." "Iraq is a modern nation." "I am a Muslim, a lawyer, a feminist and a patriot for Iraq." "Should I be beaten because of a dress code?" "Stoned to death for saying what I think?" "That was taped yesterday in Altadena, two hours before she was killed." "Saida Kafaji was organising Muslim women internationally," " gaining political momentum." " In other words, becoming a threat." "Guys, meet Agent Allawi from Immigration and Customs." "Or as we like to call it, ICE." "Now, your victim had an ongoing fight in the press with a radical Shiite cleric," "Mustapha al-Badr." "Wouldn't it be more convenient to kill her over there?" "I mean, why do it in the United States?" "She was fleeing and they pursued her." "Or they wanted to send a message that the West isn't safe for women." "And there's a mosque right here in L.A." "The sheik here on the left has a strong connection to al-Badr and Islamic radicals living in California." "But there's no way of knowing who's capable of murder." "I may very well be able to determine who's ready to commit murder." "Logistic regression models." "They can be used to estimate the probabilities of things like lightning striking." "And I can apply them to these circumstances." "Charlie, just break it down for the guy." "For a bolt of lightning, clouds must have certain internal conditions:" "Moisture, turbulence, negative electrical charges." "Similarly, an individual's internal conditions..." "Violent tendencies, religious extremism, and history with women." " can be quantified." "Now, I cross that inner data with external conditions..." "Loyalty to a radical cleric, geographic location, and financial pressure." " and we see where the lightning strikes." "What I need is data on Islamic radicals living in California, as well as on the recent arrivals." " What kind of data?" " Colby..." "Data on attacks by radicals in the United States, as well as in other countries." "I also need public information, like arrests, age, ethnicity, religion, length of time in the United States." "Good." "I'll interview the cousin." "You speak Arabic?" "Why don't you try leaning on that sheik you told us about?" "Why don't I do it?" "Let's see how he responds to a woman." "Yeah, good idea." "You can do that together." " I'll set up surveillance." " ICE has him under surveillance." "Check those tapes against anything Charlie comes up with." "Colby, why don't you take the cell phone and the boot prints?" "Yeah, you got it, Don." "That's a lot of poetry." "I'm a professor of Arabic poetry at UCLA." "I need my cousin's body back." "In Islam, we bury our dead within two days." "We have to do an autopsy." "No way around it." "I can promise you this:" "I'll get her back to you as soon as possible." "Can you tell me a little about her?" "I don't know." "She was out to change the world." "The death threats just spurred her on." " She was fearless, even as a kid." " So you two grew up together?" "Yeah." "My family left Iraq during the first Gulf War." "We were like sisters as kids." "You think her enemies in Iraq are responsible?" "I don't know who is responsible." "She provoked a lot of people." "Can you give me a few names?" "So you're sure this imam has connections to Iraq?" "Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria." "Islamic radicalism in Southern California pretty much runs through this mosque." "I'm Special Agent Reeves, with the FBI." "We've come to speak with you about Saida Kafaji." " You know who she is?" " I do." "A reckless young woman." "So you condone the death threats against her?" "I know nothing about that." "But you do have followers of Mustapha al-Badr in this mosque?" "Any sincere Muslim can come here." "Saida Kafaji was a sincere Muslim." "Do you feel any obligation towards her?" "Why do you assume I know anything about her killing?" "I know of no hatred aimed toward Saida." "Would you tell me if you did?" "Yeah." "Give me some good, old-fashioned redneck chauvinism any day." "It actually ends up being a logistics problem for the students to work on." "We obviously just won't give them any of the classified information." " Okay, well, I'll get volunteers." " Thanks, Amita." "And yeah, I'll be back in like a half hour." " Okay?" " Okay." ""The nucleus accumbens, a tiny speck deep in the middle of the brain, is the epicentre of ecstasy." "So the insight of the neurology of ecstasy is that the high of heroin, the rapture of orgasm, the smell of money, are ultimately nothing but trickles of a chemical deep inside the brain, onto a tiny speck so ancient" "that we share its basic circuitry with every living creature."" "So for a good time, buy my book." "Please, excuse me one moment." "I will be back to sign books and chat." " Just one minute." "Hello, Charlie." " Hey, how's it going?" "Hi." "You look exactly the same." "You look no different." "How is that at all possible?" "Are you defying certain laws of physics?" " No, no." " Are you sure?" "I think you are." "Look at you, all hip and distinguished, Dr. Eppes." " Driving these undergrads mad?" " It's a constant struggle." "I have to work this crowd and then I have to do an interview." "Then I have dinner with my publishers." " Can we get a drink after?" " Yeah." " Gonna lose people." "Gotta go." " Okay." "I was thinking dinner, tomorrow night." " I'll cook something for you." " You'll cook?" " I'll clear the schedule." " Great seeing you." " Nice to see you." " You look..." " Gotta go." " I've missed you." "You really..." "Hi." " Don." " Hey." " Anything with the cell phone?" " Yeah." "It looks like she was on a call when she was killed." "We traced it to a motel in Hermosa Beach." " It was a dead end." " All right." "I got some names, people who spoke out against Kafaji's organisation." "I could use help running those down." "Okay." "Listen, Don, we found a knife in a storm drain about a block and a half away from the crime scene." "I sent it off for a blood and a DNA match." "But the size of the blade, the shape of it," "I'm pretty sure we have the murder weapon here." " All right, so?" " Here's the thing." "The boot prints from the scene and now this knife, they're both military issue." "American military issue." " You're kidding." " Same stuff we used in Afghanistan." "Same thing being used in Iraq right now." "But the thing is you can also buy it in any Army Surplus store." "The American military would never do this." "Well, these are crazy times, Colby." "Did Saida have any connections to the American military?" " I don't know." " Really." "She had a whole life in Iraq, a life I didn't know anything about." "Nasreen, look, I think there's something you're not telling me." "You don't understand." "I don't understand why you'd withhold information that would help us capture the guy that killed her?" "Why would you?" "She was killed right here in my garden!" "Okay." "All right." "I'll put a 24-hour guard on your door." "I will give you an escort wherever you go." "We can protect you." "Now, I know she was a radical." "I just don't know what she had to do with our military." "She was helping to prosecute cases in Basra." "She was working with the Americans." "A few weeks ago, she sent me this." " What does it say?" " It says that an American soldier is going to accompany her from Basra on March 27th." " Colby, where are you?" " I'm over here at Los Alamitos." "I've got a buddy here from Afghanistan who works Criminal Investigations." "Saida Kafaji had an Army escort when she left Basra March 27th." "See if you can find out who her contact was there, would you?" "Okay, sure." "Yeah, I'll see what I can do, Don." "You look like crap in a suit, CG." "You should've stayed in the man's Army, wear camis to work." "Well, while you're out here in the middle of nowhere," "I work in civilisation." "Did you get a chance to look into Saida Kafaji for me?" "She was a piece of work." "Spoke out against pretty much everybody." " A player?" " Hard to say." " Why?" " Her file's classified." " She has a military intelligence file?" " And it's classified." "Well, you can get into it, right?" "FBI wants to see it, you gotta do it officially." "Look, I have U.S. Army boot prints at the crime scene." "The murder weapon was a six-inch battle knife." "You want me to get into this officially?" "Anybody can buy a knife like that." "That's what I thought, too, until I heard she had a classified file." "I can give you a list of CID personnel she worked with in Basra." " But that is all I can give you." " It's a start." "Come on, let's go choke down some of my coffee." "The military aspect complicates the politics and therefore the math, doesn't it?" "The more information, the better, in a problem like this." "So we'll have the results in a couple of hours." "Great." "I need to cross-reference my findings with the list you all come up with." "Okay, you'll input and then we'll recalculate." "Great." "That's great." " Hey." "What's going on?" " I'm sorry to interrupt." "You know we're meeting later tonight." "I do." "This is the thing." "I have back-to-back interviews all evening with the L.A. Times Book Review and Syzygy?" "I don't know." "One's for sales, one's for street cred." "Oh, look at you." "I was wondering if you could get away now?" "Actually, I can't." "But you know what, just come with me." " Okay." " Yeah." " It's weird that I came?" " No, not at all." " Did she say "street cred"?" " Who is that?" "My hunch is that's the old girlfriend, Susan Berry." "Oh, I've heard of her." "They lived together for nearly two years." "His very own Berry's phase." "She's pretty." " Right." "Where were we?" " You didn't want to go with her?" "No." "We're meeting later tonight and I gotta work on these boot prints." "Yeah, boot prints." "Charlie, are you familiar with the work of Petr Hlavacek?" "He's this obsessed Czech and, from a shoe or shoeprint, he can read a person's height, weight, physical ailments." " Physical ailments?" " Yeah." "He diagnosed syphilis in Albrecht Von Wallenstein from his boots alone." "We need official contact with the Army." "Get this." "They have a classified file on Saida Kafaji." " We can't get into it any other way." " All right, I'll talk to Don." "And what about her cases?" "We need higher clearance for that too." "All I have so far is a list of CI officers that were in Basra." "One of them, Lieutenant Joseph Karnes, he left Iraq in a military transport the same day as our victim." "And where is he now?" "Check this out." "He's AWOL." "He's been AWOL since the day of her murder." "Looks like we have ourselves a suspect." "Karnes left Basra on March 27th." "He was due back yesterday, nobody's heard from him." "He's been in Iraq for 18 months and he works in Criminal Investigations." "He could be a witness in one of Saida Kafaji's cases, he could have been sent here to investigate her." "All I know is, whatever he was doing for the Army," " he's not doing it anymore." " Right." "They put him in the wind for a job well done." "If they want him off the map, wouldn't designate him AWOL." "That means they're looking for him too." "I'm not getting any cooperation." "They want to know what we got." "My buddy was surprised about the boot prints and the knife." "Don't think he knew what to make of it." "Somebody does." "Can your buddy help us any more?" "No, they shut him down." "Then, Megan, you should get with Allawi before they shut him down too." "We want to know if any Iraqis in California are involved." "Witnesses to war crimes, fugitives from prosecution," " that sort of thing, right?" " On my way." "Can we get this information to Charlie?" "Where is Charlie, anyway?" " That was delicious." " Oh, thank you." "You're a good cook, Charlie." "When did that happen?" "I'm glad you liked it." "It's steak." " It's pretty simple." " Still, it was good." "Look at you, living in this house." " I own this house." " Okay." " Let's make that distinction." "I own it." " Yeah." "Isn't it weird how we're suddenly just grownups?" "Age has never really meant much to me." "I don't know, I don't feel any different than when I was..." "Twenty-one?" "I actually have been meaning to mention something to you." "I've been working on something called cognitive emergence theory." "And it's the math of neurons creating..." "Well, creating consciousness." " That's amazing." " You think so?" "Yeah, yeah, that's amazing, Charlie." "Where are you getting your data from?" " Professor Quartz in neuroscience." " Yeah." "You remember?" "And I'm wondering how do you quantify this state of grace you so vividly describe in the book?" "EEGs, testimony, observation." "Observation and testimony?" "Yeah, the patient describes his or her experience." "So the brain biochemistry releases simultaneous feelings of fear and joy." "And loss of self." "Or at least a blurring of the boundaries between self and other." "Which, in turn, results in a kind of awe." "I can see that." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I..." " Alan?" " My game got cancelled." " I didn't realise..." " You remember Susan?" " Hi, nice to see you again." " You too." " Hello." " Hi." "Okay, great." "I'll be in there." " Actually, up there." " See you later." "So, okay." "Yeah." "I haven't aged much since 21." " You live with your dad." " He lives with me." " No, seriously." " Whatever." "I can't kick him out, you know?" "Something is missing." "According to the crime report, the killer took four steps to the west, he pivots, he takes three steps to the east." " He's pacing." " He's pacing." "Then hears her approach." "She was on the cell phone, so he waited for her to pass." "Right." "And then he just..." "He leaps from his lair." "Larry, I don't think he leapt from a lair." "And certainly, his knife was not in the air like this." "He pulled her into the bushes from behind and cut her throat in and out, like that." "Okay." "They teach you that at Quantico?" " Your taxpayer dollars at work." " If I could, please." "Do we know how tall this guy was?" "Yeah." "He was 6'1 ", 190 pounds, with a shoe size of 11, which matches the prints we found at the scene." "Well, now, that's very interesting and I'll tell you why." "Because these boot prints were lifted from the gardening soil behind the bushes." "And given the depth of this," "I'd say we're looking at somebody who's less than 190." "One seventy, perhaps." "Could Karnes have lost weight?" "I guess, yeah." "Given the distance between these steps, now, this is a person, maybe 5'9", with a hip width of..." "I'm gonna say 16 inches." " How accurate do you think thing is?" " My math?" "It's very accurate." "But nevertheless, something liminal hovers which I cannot quite..." "No." "It's just one of those." "It will not be forced." "If you will excuse me, my brain requires a change of environment." "Yeah, well, I'm just gonna go ahead and use your phone, if you have one in here." "Colby, I just located Allawi." "Let me call you back in a few minutes." "Hey, I'm sorry to pull you out of the symphony." "Are you kidding me?" "My wife drags me to this stuff." "I'm more of a Radiohead kind of guy." " Really?" " So, what's up?" "Saida Kafaji was working for the U.S. military in Basra as a lawyer." "Any idea what kind of cases she'd be working on?" "What do you mean, working with the military?" "I don't really know." "They won't say." "Maybe something for the war tribunal involving Republican Guard war atrocities." "I mean, those bastards are hiding out all over the world." "What kind of information could she have stumbled upon that the Army would want to keep her quiet?" "What do you have?" "I have a military-issued weapon and a boot print on the scene, and her Army handler who arrived the same day is now AWOL." "She could've stumbled onto something she wasn't supposed to see." "But my guys have access." "We can run down her military cases, see what she was up to." "I got some Radiohead in the car." "Eureka." "Oh, my word, eureka!" "Archimedes." "It's Archimedes, all over again!" "Archimedes!" "Gold is denser than silver." "And thusly, Archimedes proved the crown was a fake in the bathtub." " Let me call you right back." " But don't be fooled." "Because this fraud has nothing to do with the principle of buoyancy or the law of levers." "No, it's simply a poetic leap, a moment of insight." " Eureka." " Precisely." "Since water is so conducive to thinking, it's a wonder we don't have classes in pools." "What's a fraud?" "Leg-length discrepancy." "But to demonstrate, I'm going to have to put on the boots." "Oh, water." "Such a magical element." "Now, the person who made these prints has one leg slightly shorter than the other." "Not very noticeable, but just enough to cause him to supinate with his right leg, which puts pressure on the outside of the print, and to pronate with his left foot, the longer limb, which puts pressure on the inside of the print." "Wait a minute." "He'd never get into the military." " This is not Joe Karnes." " He's being framed." "Good job, doc." "You know, actually, I'm feeling a little chilly." "Where have I left my clothing?" " You should see this room." " Yeah?" "Yeah, it's amazing and more." "Come on in." " Yeah, this is..." " It's beautiful." "Yeah." "It's funny." "What is?" "How familiar you feel." "That's unexpected." "Disconcerting." "Why did we break up?" "I don't remember." "I've missed you." "What are you doing here?" "The man who accompanied Saida is Joseph Karnes, a lieutenant in Criminal Investigations." "I need to know what she was working on and who she was investigating and I need to know now." "Okay, please, keep your voice down." "Come in." "Now, you said she told you everything." "There was no mention of him?" "It's not what you think." "What, you had something to do with her death?" "No." "Why would you say that?" "You've been withholding something from the get-go." "All right?" "I know it." "I can tell." "Now, people's lives could be in danger here." "Anyone who helped her." "Anyone who gave her information." "They met while they were working together." "Yeah?" " They fell in love." " What?" " Joe and Saida were married." " They were married?" "No one was supposed to know." "He wasn't a Muslim." "Our family would never approve." "Saida knew that." " So, what?" "Some sort of..." " Honour killing?" "I don't know." " So your family..." " Saida and I were progressive." " Our families are not." " They'd kill their own daughter?" "It is deeply ingrained in our culture." "Her father, her mother, her brothers." "All of them would be shunned because of her action." "I've tracked her family." "They weren't in the States." "There are surrogates." "Our families have many friends." " Married to a non-Muslim." " Put her life in danger." "It's perceived as a disgrace to the family." "It changes everything." "Where are we on locating Karnes?" "I talked to the people at the motel in Hermosa." "They recognised the photo, but said he left two days ago." "So we're sweeping the room for DNA and fingerprints." "We're pretty sure he was on the phone with her when she was killed." "He heard his wife being killed." "Which means he's not our assailant." " And yet now, he's gone." " Someone's trying to set him up." "Which means they obviously knew about the relationship." "Her murder can still be linked to the fatwa or legal cases." "People that worked with them and know they were a couple." " It's hard to keep that secret." " Who's motivated to frame him?" "Her family, to restore honour." "Or somebody she was prosecuting." "Both could have accomplices in Southern California." "So we're back to hundreds of suspects again." "Well, no." "Because I took the 112 names we came up with yesterday and applied social image typology to generate a more targeted list." "A list of possible murderers." "Now we pose the question, who's most likely to commit fraud?" "Fundamentalists believe God is behind them." "They're not gonna shift blame." "We can eliminate them." " This wasn't a religious killing." " Can you be sure about that?" "The most likely group are career criminals." "Because she was killed here and not in Iraq, this is an opportunity for someone here." "She was prosecuting war criminals hiding outside Iraq." "And, you know, that's been bothering me all along." "Why would anyone go through all the trouble to set up an international murder when you don't have to?" "Some of these names are in her legal cases." "The ex-Baathists, Saddam's men." "Professional criminals with something personal to gain from her death." "There's 18 names on this list." "That's still a lot." "So we're gonna leave Karnes to the Army." "Saida." "Wait." "We know that Karnes is innocent." "He's been gone since the murder." "I'm gonna posit that he's probably out to avenge the murder of his wife." "If I'm Karnes and I'm trying to attract the killer but avoid the Army," "I'm gonna need cover, a place to work out of..." "A sympathetic ally." " Daniel Ratchet?" " Who's asking?" "I'm Special Agent Granger." "This is Agent Johnson." "FBI." "You and Joe Karnes, you enlisted together and served in Iraq?" "Yeah." "So?" "Have you heard from him in the last few days?" " No." " Look, man," "I just want to talk to the guy." "I don't care that he's AWOL." "What do you want, man?" "I haven't seen him." "Look, I served in Afghanistan, CID, the same as Joe." " I just want to help him." " Sure, you do." "We know that Joe is innocent." "We're trying to find Saida's killer." "We want the same thing Joe does, but I need to talk to him before he does something crazy." "If Joe kills somebody, I can't help him." "Now, that bag, is that really yours, all the way up there?" " How do you know he's innocent?" " Mind if I come in?" "Go around the back." "The back." "Joe, run!" "Karnes, hang on." "I just want to talk to you, man." "Out of the way." "Out of the way." "FBI." "Look, I just want to talk to you, man." "Okay?" "Who are you, man?" "We need to talk." "Just calm down, man." "I just want to talk." "They killed my wife." "Who did?" "Her family?" "Was it them?" "An honour killing, because she married a non-Muslim?" "An honour killing, maybe." "Not because of me." "They never knew we were married." "So, what do you mean, then?" "Saddam's son had his men go to schools to pick up girls for sex." "They raped hundreds of girls." "Everybody knew about it." "They were just too terrified to speak up." " Except Saida." " She was one of the girls?" "She was gonna testify against the man who raped her for the war tribunal." "That's why we came here, so she could give a deposition." " He slit her throat because of it." " Just tell us who he is." "She was my wife." "I will handle this." "We're not gonna let you just go out and murder someone." "I have to do this." "You know I do." "You are making stupid decisions right now because you're emotional." "Look, I'm just gonna lay out your best option for you." "You work with our team, we find this ass and put him in jail." "We'll do everything we can to help straighten out things between you and the Army and get you back to your life." " I don't have a life." " Think about this for a minute." "You are AWOL, which means you're going to jail." "While you're sitting there, the guy who did this to Saida, he's gonna be getting away." "Ask yourself what she would want you to do." "Can you square it with the Army so I can go to her funeral?" "Yeah, I'll try." "But I need to know who she was testifying against." "A Republican Guard named Qari Qassim who worked for Saddam's son." "He raped her when she was 15." "Now Qari is in Iraq, but his cousin, Sami Qassim, he is here." "It was Sami who did this." "Sami Qassim, who was on Charlie's list." "Baathist war criminal, Republican Guard, missing since 2003." "We haven't been able to locate him." "Well, we have hair and DNA samples from the crime scene." "If we can find him, we can match it." "But this guy was able to hide himself in his own community." "There's a good chance no one really knows who he is." "Or they do and they support him anyway." "Is it worth reaching out to this imam again?" "There's no way he's gonna turn in Qassim." "Unless we can prove Qassim isn't a sincere Muslim." "How are we gonna do that?" "Nasreen says she and her cousin were like sisters when they were kids." "My guess is, if she were raped, Nasreen would know, right?" "And she could tell Saida's story to the imam." "What happened to Saida disgraced her family." "No one cares about what happened to her." "The imam may even hold her responsible." " Yeah, how do you know that?" " I grew up in this culture." "The imam will never deliver this man to you." "Not on the word of a woman." "But I think I can." "I think I can make him come out of hiding." "What do you mean?" "What if we had a memorial service for Saida and let it be known that I'm going to name Qassim in public?" "You know, shame him." " No, I don't know about that." " He is evil." "I am tired of being afraid." "My entire life, I have been afraid of men like him." "How do you know you can even get the word out to him?" "The imam." "They will send an e-mail to the community, letting them know about the service and saying that I am going to speak out, name names." "The imam will want Qassim to know that I am accusing him." " So, what time's your flight?" " Four o'clock." " Four o'clock." " Yeah, and I should run." "But I wanted to see you before I left." "You know, I have a standing invitation to lecture at Cambridge, so, you know, I'm thinking of taking them up on that offer and then we can really see each other as often as we'd like." "Charlie." "You know I adore you." "I just..." "This has been lovely." "I see." "Okay." "Oh, I know." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." " You're not married, are you?" " No." " Not engaged?" " No, not really." " Not really?" " Yeah." "Well, we started seeing each other a few months ago." "He has children, whom I like, amazingly." "I probably shouldn't have... with you." "It just..."

"He was a leader in the Republican Guard under Saddam." "This guy's brutal and he's got nothing to lose." "So we want to stop him before he even makes it into the mosque." "Remember, our first priority is to protect Nasreen Kafaji." "No matter what goes down, you stay with her." "Qassim could have accomplices we don't know." " All right, let's do this." " All right, guys, let's go." "Let's hurry it up." "Colby, we're about two minutes out." " How are you doing?" " There's no sign of him yet, Don." "We got guys in the surrounding buildings, on the ground, and two agents by the entrance to the mosque" " to escort her in when she arrives." " Right." "And we swept the mosque for bombs." "It's clean inside." "Right." "Copy that." "See you in a minute." "Heads up." "So when we pull up, two of my guys are gonna escort you inside." "Let them guide you." "Don't go off in the crowd," " even if you see someone you know." " Okay." "I'm scared." "You'll be fine." "We got agents all over the place." "You with me?" "All right, here we go." "Here we go." "Everyone in position." "It's a go." "Keep those people back." "They're too close." "Keep them back." "Shots fired." "Target hit." " Let's go." " FBI." "Everybody get down." " Get down." " Get down." "Get down on the ground." "What about inside the mosque, can we go for it?" "Get them out." "Get back." "Get back." "Sierra Team leader, do we have eyesight on the shooter?" "Colby, on the outside." "In the grass." "Get down." "Get down." "What's the status?" "He's dead." " You okay?" " Did we get him?" "Yeah, we got him." "Are you all right?" "You sure?" "She's gonna be sore, but she's gonna be okay." " I'm so sorry." " No." "No apologies." "You saved my life." "The man who raped Saida, he's still there." "He's still going on with his life and doing God knows what to who." "I'm going back to Iraq." " That's pretty brave." " I won't be alone." "Saida will be there with me." " What happened?" " Oh, I don't know." "What do you mean?" "You're sitting right here." " Dad, those look good." " Oh, well, next time you're the cook." "That's not a good idea." "You know that." "What are you moping around here?" "What's going on?" "Leave me alone." "I'm watching the game." "All of a sudden, you're interested?" " Hey, Don, what's happening?" " Hey, Chuck." "Where's Susan?" "She flew back to England." "If I were you, I'd make up some excuse to see her." "Because that girl was worth pursuing." "You know what, I don't want her to get the wrong idea." "What do you mean?" "What's the wrong idea?" "I'm really not that serious about her." "I'm sorry." "What the hell does it take for you to be interested?" "Amita is beautiful." "This girl's a stunner."

"You have the worse luck with the opposite sex." " I'm not gonna jinx it." " I resent that." "I don't have bad luck." "You have been on a pretty bad losing streak." "What do you mean, Charlie?" "Look at you." "I got them coming out of the woodwork." "I want to know, when do I get grandchildren?" "I mean, you try doing my job and having a relationship." "You try." "Woe is Don."
