"The partisans of both Kuman-Kuman and Ajene Xola have become... terrorists." "The French proposal is a diplomatic headache for both of us." " What a predicament." " It doesn't have to be." "Dr Zuwanie wouldn't have to appear before the International Criminal Court." "Not if he were somewhere else." " Do you want him to resign?" " Tell him this." "If he goes voluntarily, we're confident the French proposal will be vetoed." "[speaks English] You can tell him yourself."

"I need you to wait for an escort." "Zuwanie lands at 8.45 hours." "State Department says no meet-and-greet, no shopping, no Lion King." "He leaves your podium, his plane has two hours to clear US airspace, unless the UN cancels the visit and Tobin and I can get back to the important work we were doing." "That's up to the GA President." "We just present a threat assessment." " Why is he coming?" " To make a speech." "To escape the International Criminal Court."

"Do you think you could identify the voice?" "Well, I'd say yes, if it were..." "It was almost a whisper." "Whispers disguise the quality of a voice." "You, I imagine, study faces."

"And there just happened to be some fellas talking about an assassination in a language that you and eight other people understand, in a room full of microphones." "Do you think I'm making it up?"

" I don't care for him." " Wouldn't mind if he were dead?" " If he were gone." " Same thing." " No, it isn't." "If I interpreted "gone" as "dead", I'd be fired." "If they were the same, there'd be no UN." " Your profession is playing with words." " I don't play with words." " You're doing it now." " You are." "If I wanted him dead, I wouldn't have reported it." "It's not what I want." " That's not why I'm here." " Here?" "Working at the UN, instead of standing on a road somewhere with a machine-gun." " You believe in diplomacy?" " I believe in this place." " I believe in what it tries to accomplish." " Well, you've had a tough year, lady." "Listen." "I'm scared, and my protector is someone who doesn't believe me." "You don't look scared." "People handle fear in different ways, Mr Keller." "It turns some people into stand-up comedians." "You don't know me at all." "Maybe I should see about assigning someone to look after me who's better suited to the job." "I don't look after you," "I look after the man who's been threatened, if there was a threat." "My job, as it concerns you, is to investigate you." "So you're not here to offer me any protection whatsoever?" "No, ma'am." "And we were getting along so well." " So what do you think?" " She's a liar." "Agent Keller?" "Morning." "Special Agent Lewis, FBI." "This is Agent King." "We're on loan." "So they have to be returned in the same condition, or no refund." " Keller." " Woods." " Are you sure you're ready to come back?" " I'm better working." " We got a credible threat?" " We should assume so." "As popular as we are in the rest of the world, the last thing we need is to have a foreign leader get popped here, particularly a guy like this that we don't like." "So State wants you to know, NSA, CIA, FBI, whatever you need to keep this maniac's heart beating till he gets out, it's yours." " [phone rings]" " Woods." "[caller indistinct]" "[Dot] Zuwanie's head of security's arrived." "He wants a meeting right away." "[Tobin] He'll have to wait till we get back from Washington." " He's white."

"They begin as liberators. 20 minutes later, they're as corrupt as the tyrants they topple." "He liberated the country from one of the most corrupt governments on earth, gave the people hope, and was a hero." "They need another name for what he is now." " Man likes his gun." " He'll have it with him." "He knows he won't be scanned." "Who are his enemies?" "Aside from the thousands of victims' relatives?" "These two." "Both his opponents, both want his job." "On the right, Ajene Xola." "Son of a doctor, Paris-educated, pacifist to begin with." " Aren't they all?" " He managed longer than most." " And the other?" " He has two names, he's always in the Post." "One name, twice." "Kuman-Kuman." "He's been yelling about Zuwanie being a madman and the UN not doing enough." "He's in exile in Brooklyn." "A socialist and a capitalist, both gaining strength with the people, both with the motivation to see Zuwanie gone." " Gone?" " Dead." "But not just dead." "Dead in front of the delegates of 191 countries and every news service with a camera." " In front of the world." " Nobody needs to be that dead."

"You know when you're lying, don't you?" "Look straight ahead, feet flat on the floor." "Is your name Silvia Broome?" "Miss Broome?" "I found out something from our domestic Intel." "All this may have begun with a tragic accident." " What do you mean?" " Her parents farmed in the mountains." "This area became infested with rebels in the '80s and Dr Zuwanie was forced to mine the roads." "Her parents were bringing her younger sister back from school and hit a mine." " And they were killed?" " All of them." " How old was she?" " 12, 13." "Something like that, even years later, could incite all kinds of ideas." "She has every reason to want Dr Zuwanie tried at the ICC." "I'll be right back." " Oh, no." "Come on." " OK, the control questions show stress, and the key questions show stress as well as the baseline questions." "We should just read her palm." " How did I do?" " Je ne sais pas." "Nils Lud." "Dr Zuwanie's head of security." "I thought since you were in a question-answering mood, I might ask a few." "Might I ask where you stand now politically, Miss Broome?" "I'm for peace and quiet, Mr Lud." "It's why I came to the UN." "Quiet diplomacy." "With respect, you only interpret." "Countries have gone to war after misinterpreting one another." "I would say she's clearly under stress, but not necessarily lying." "Congratulations." " I'm told what you heard was a whisper." " Yes." "Is it possible you could identify it if you ever heard it again?" "It might be." "Tell me, do you have a brother?" "I hope it's all right." "I took this opportunity to ask Miss Broome a few questions." "You're free to go." "Agent Scott will drive you back to the UN." "Would you drive Ms Broome back to the UN, please?" "Thank you." " Does this mean the test was...?" " The test was inconclusive." "But I'd rather make the mistake of believing her than the bigger one of not." "Next time you want to question an American citizen here, you ask permission." " Silvia." " Don't worry, I'm not leaving any..." "Did you do something naughty?" "A couple of FBls were asking me about you." "If you often work later than everybody, or bring things in after hours." "Like that." " What'd you tell them?" " I said, from a sound engineer's point of view, you're perfect." "I need somebody on the guy with two names." " Mo." " It's one name twice." "Kuman-Kuman." "You volunteering, or just correcting me?" " I'm from Brooklyn." " You got him." "You and...?" " I was on him when he first came here." " OK, you got him again." "I thought she had perfect pitch." "She says whispers don't have a recognisable pitch." "NSA agrees." "They say it's very difficult." " They don't know that." " They say they do." "No, not NSA." "Whoever she heard." "Why not let them keep thinking she can ID it?" " What are you asking me to do, Jay?" " I don't want her to be harmed." "In fact, get a place, keep an eye on her." "We got three days." "She's your only link." "Are we using her as bait?" "Just make the calls." "I'm sending you an attachment." "Can you print front and back?" "I've asked INS for a list of arrivals in the last six months." "Zimbabwe, Botswana, Matobo." "I'll do voice samples on everyone." "So when she hears the voice again, she can identify it." " She said it was a whisper." " Well, now she thinks she can do it." " Photo there yet?" " It's printing." "Let me put you on speaker." "That's an anti-Zuwanie rally." "The man speaking is Ajene Xola." "Look at the crowd." "Look closely." "Any leads?" "Maybe one." "Come on down to Mexico." "Is that you?" "Tell me what someone like you who uses the word "diplomacy" like she's chastising me is doing at a rebel rally?" " A peace rally." " I don't want to do this again." "That's exactly what it is." "What I'm doing is listening." "After that." "After you listen." " You're asking the wrong question." " It's one you don't want to answer." "Why would somebody type the names of everyone in this on the back?" "This is a death list." "The question you should be asking is, "Who gave me this and why?"" " What are you not saying?" " What are you accusing me of?" "How do you feel about Zuwanie, never mind "I don't care for him"?" "I feel disappointment." "That's a lover's word." "What about rage?" "Of all the people I've looked into since this thing started, the one with the darkest Zuwanie history is you." " It was his land-mines that killed your..." " Sh!" "We don't name the dead." "Everyone who loses somebody wants revenge, on God if they can't find anyone else." "But in Africa, in Matobo, the Ku believe that the only way to end grief is to save a life." "If someone is murdered, a year of mourning ends with a ritual that we call the Drowning Man Trial." "There's an all-night party beside a river." "At dawn, the killer is put in a boat." "He's taken out on the water and he's dropped." "He's bound so that he can't swim." "The family of the dead then has to choose." "They can let him drown, or they can save him." "The Ku believe that if the family lets the killer drown, they'll have justice but spend the rest of their lives in mourning." "But if they save him, if they admit that life isn't always just that very act can take away their sorrow." "Vengeance is a lazy form of grief." "Why do you look away?" "There are things I don't like to talk about and you call it lying." "But not when you do it." "I'm not the one under investigation." "That was a long time ago." " FBI." " Intel." " TTF." " Sniper team." "Secret Service." "This is Nils Lud, head of Dr Zuwanie's security." "Shall we take a walk?" "[she plays haunting melodic tune]" " How close can a vehicle get over here?" " Not close enough." " No garage under the GA." " Dogs sweep every night." "It's not a bomb." " It has to be a rifle." " From where?" "How does he get a rifle in?" " Could be from up close." " Who gets that close?" "One of Zuwanie's bodyguards?" "That's a good thought, but we'd much prefer to kill him at home without you watching." "It's already here." "If these guys know their stuff, the weapon is here." "[phone rings]" "Hello?" " [line crackles - no voice]" " Hello, Philippe?" "Hello?"

"Some lady called 911, saw the guy." "Go easy on him, OK?" "He feels terrible." "On the roof." "He must have gone over the roof to get to the next building." " I couldn't see the fire escape." " Give me that." "You mean you screwed up." " I mean I screwed up." " So did I." "I need Polaroids of that, inside and out." " You OK?" " Great." " Who else has a key to this apartment?" " No one." " You don't keep a spare outside somewhere?" " No." " No one else has a key..." " Nobody." " The door wasn't forced." " They can't pick locks?" "They can, we can tell." "They didn't." " Where do you keep your key?" " My purse." " It hasn't been out of your sight all day?" " No." "Yes." "In my locker." "Dot." "Wake up Rory, have him dust her locker and those beside it before morning." "So you were just having a quiet evening, some gentleman in a mask waves to you." "That's about it, yeah." "[something falls]" "Dot?" "Is there anything special about this mask?" "I'll be honest with you." "I don't know how honest I can be with you." "My brother gave it to me." "I still have a brother there who I'm close to." "Simon." "We've..." "lost touch for a while, but... we're close." "Is he standing on the road somewhere with a machine-gun, or is he into diplomacy, too?" "He's more into lists." "Farm kids will do anything to amuse themselves." "Mostly you fight." "I read." "My brother kept lists." "Weird lists in ratty notebooks." "Times and dates that Mum used the F-word, countries with advantageous male to female ratios, odd animal facts." "Did you know the leading cause of death for beavers is falling trees?" " Yes." " You did not." "He had a notebook for words that he liked." "Hypotenuse, doodad, bodacious." "Could he be involved in this?" "We're stuck, aren't we?" "You and I?" "We're kepéla." "It means standing on opposite sides of the river." "Give me a reason to get to the other side." "[speaking Ku]" "[muffled cries]" "Just wait a second." "OK." "There's a blue and white outside." "NYPD'll keep an eye on you until morning." "And then?" "We'll figure something out." "Thank you." "My wife was killed two weeks ago." "She... she'd left me." "She'd left me before, but she'd always come back." "She was going to come back this time." "She said." "She was a dancer." "The guy was a dancer, too." "Eddie." "Great dancer." "Lousy driver." "The only way he knew how to stop a car was to slam it into a bridge abutment in Santa Fe." "So there was no taking her back this time." "The thing is, if he had lived, and I had a choice I think I would have let him drown." "I might have even held his head under the water." "Not a very Ku thing to do." "If you need anything, you can call the precinct or just go downstairs." "This is my cell number." "It's the same card." "Goodnight." "Lock this." "It's a remodel."

"Someone contacted me." "One of Kuman's people..." "I thought it was one of his people..." "to arrange a meeting with Xola." "They said it was time to admit that only together could they stop Zuwanie." " What happened?" " So I arrange it." "But it was a trap." "Xola's dead." "I knew it." "I knew he was dead." "Was my brother there?" "No, Simon wasn't there." "Only Xola." "I stayed in the car." "No one came back out." " Where is he?" "Where's my brother?" " I don't know." " You think Kuman has him?" " I don't know what to think." "Everything is chaos." "It's all gone to hell." "How did it get to be like this?" "You see what I did?" "I took Xola right to them." " You didn't know." " Forgive me."

"Goodnight." "She's coming your way." "Oh, no." "No scooter, please." "Come on, no scooter." "Yes." "Thank you, God." "You might as well drive me." "We're going to Brooklyn." "Corner of Bergen and Nostrand." "Jad Jamal." "Worked the interpreters' lounge the day the mask showed up." " Bring him to me." " Can't." "He didn't show up for work." " Sit on his apartment." " Doug's there." "Hey." "Got the INS files." " This isn't the way it's supposed to be done." " You can let me off up here." "She's at the corner of Bergen and Nostrand in Brooklyn." " She's where?" " My guy's on the move." "She's here, whether I brought her or not." " Go back." "What's she doing?" " Waiting for something." " Holy shit." " What?" "The janitor." "Jad Jamal." " That's not him." " I know." "That's his room-mate." "Jamal's room-mate just left the building." "His name is Gamba." "Jean Gamba." " Should I stay here?" " No, you stick with the room-mate." " Are we working on a warrant?" " Lewis is." " How are you?" " I got something for you." "OK, bless you." "Tobin?" " What's up?" " I don't know, but it don't feel good." " What are they doing?" " Just standing there." "We're getting on the el." "[speaks Ku]" " Shit." " She just got on the bus with Kuman." "[Tobin] What the hell is she doing?" "Did I hear home?" " Or was I wrong, then?" " No, you're right." "I'm Matoban." "And a fair Matoban, in fact." "[Tobin] King, you stay with that bus." "Do you know who I am?" "Yes." "You're a killer." "You ordered the murder of Ajene Xola." "You got a red light in that car?" "Why don't you use it?" " Who told you this nonsense?" " Where's my brother?" "Your brother?" "I don't even know who you are." "You are on the wrong bus, so to speak, to be so reckless." "Your people arranged a meeting through Philippe Broullet." " You know him." " I don't... and I didn't." "But the fact is, somebody wants you to believe that I killed Ajene Xola." " I don't believe you." " [Kuman-Kuman] But you should believe me." " Why?" " Because I would form a coalition with Xola." "Neither of us have made enough progress alone." "He has the working people." "I have the finances." "If he is dead, it is a loss for all of us." "Me especially." "[Doug] We're getting off." "I got the back room." "Jesus." "Clear the other room." "OK." " Closet." " Yeah." "I got the bed." "[Dot] Ho!" "Keller?" " We got a dead body in the closet." " Jamal?" "Yeah." "I'll call it in." "God, how can you see in here?" "Wait." "Wait." "Why the lanterns?" "Well, that's just rude." " What do you do so far away from home?" " I work." "And I hope." " Same as me, then." " I doubt it." "You work for...?" "I'm an interpreter at the UN." "So like the UN." "Layers of languages signifying nothing." " You'd prefer more war?" " I prefer more business." "Guys, get with me here." "We got a situation." "No, boss, we got a situation." "We just got on the 133." "With Mohammad." "And Silvia Broome." "And Kuman-Kuman." " What?" " You're on the same bus?" "With our subjects." "Get off the bus, and get Silvia Broome off that bus now." "We can't do that." "We're moving." "Doug, is the room-mate carrying anything?" " Doug, is he carrying anything?" " A satchel." " All right... where is it?" " It's in his lap." "He's been carrying it all day." " Oh, man." " Can either of you get to him?" "Not without gettin' made." "Despite all the flags on First Avenue, there are no nations any more." "Only companies." "International companies." "It's where we are." "It's what we are." "I think you're wrong." "You are still young." "I'm an acquired taste." "What's your brother's name?" "Simon." "Simon Broome." " OK, we're stopping." " You got guts, coming out here." "I'll see what my people can find out about him." "But remember, I'm not your brother's keeper, eh?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "Come on, guys, talk to me." "What's going on?" "We're stopped." "She's getting off." " What's going on?" " And so is my subject." "Keep talking to me." "What's going on?" "Is he carrying the satchel?" "OK, he's got the satchel." "But I think he made me." "That's OK, I got him." " Kuman?" " He's staying put." "Miss Broome!" "Please get in the car." "Move it!" " I got Gamba." " I'll stay with Kuman." "No." "Just get off that bus." "Get everybody off that bus right now!" " Doug!" " Mohammad?" " Hey!" "Guy forgot his lunch." " Oh, man." "I'm standing here on Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, at a scene that can only be described as unconscionable carnage." "...frantically helping victims of an apparent terrorist attack." "These events are more familiar in the cities of the Middle East." "There is no word yet." "However, there are unconfirmed reports that Kuman-Kuman, the exiled Matoban revolutionary, may have been on board." " You all right?" " I'm OK." "Doug?" "This is Ron Ferguson, reporting live on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn, where just after 10.30 am this morning..." "We're OK, boss." "[reporter]... the violence has now found its way into the heart of New York City..." " The death toll is 17, with scores injured..." " The obvious speculation about al-Qaeda widely seen as the probable successor to Edmond Zuwanie..." "Tunnels and bridges will close for at least 12 hours alleged terrorist attack by Ajene Xola Zuwanie is still planning to address the General Assembly of the UN." "What were you doing on that bus?" "Thank you for bringing me home." "Hey!" "I lost a man today." "A kid." " How do you know Kuman?" " I never met him before." "You think that not getting caught in a lie is the same as the truth!" " I'm not lying." "I went to him for help." " With what?" "I can't tell you." "Someone might get hurt." ""Someone might get hurt." There's a bus full of dead people!" ""Someone might get hurt"?" "Who?" "Someone you know?" "Someone who's mixed up in all this?" "You?" "Why did you leave Africa?" " I told you." " No, you didn't." "Why did you come here?" " Stop it." " Goddammit!" " Stop shouting at me!" " Stop lying!" " I'm not lying!" " Stop lying!" "I was just on that bus!" "I can't think with all this noise." "I can't!" "You have to stop!" "That isn't me." "Don't be ridiculous." " It isn't me." " No, that is you." "And I know, because I drive you home, and I look at you through the binoculars, and everything else that I shouldn't do." "It was once." "It's not any more." "After the rallies, after my parents and sister were killed, then the rifles came out." "It was the only way to get anyone to listen." "Just to listen." "I killed a boy who had nothing to live for beyond the money he'd get for killing me." "I shot him in the head so he wouldn't shoot me." "Then I handed the rifle to my brother and told him, "I'm through."" "I walked away with him shouting at me, "You're a coward."" ""Our parents are dead, Zuwanie's alive."" "My brother, who in another life wouldn't harm a..." "That was the last thing he ever said to me." "The only contact I have is the notebooks I send and imagine him receiving." "I know he's alive." "I know it." "But I'm not to him." "I lied to you because I was afraid." "I was afraid he might be involved in what I heard." "I lied to everyone else so they'd let me near the UN, and that's the only place that I believe has a chance to change any of this." "And I lied to you about Ajene Xola because..." "I loved him." "Once." "Until the colour of my skin became a problem." "The politics of my skin." "I walked away from Africa with nothing." "No brother, no family, no lover, nothing." "Just a belief that words and compassion are the better way." "Even if it's slower than a gun." "Where are you going?" "You've got blood all over your face." "You can't say stuff like that with blood on your face." " [protesters shouting] - [man speaking Ku]" "This is precisely why Dr Zuwanie must be allowed to speak." "[translation] This monstrous act of terrorism was aimed at you and at the heart of the United Nations." " I can't listen to this." " Do not allow them to intimidate you or Dr Zuwanie." "[policeman] I'm not at liberty to tell you." " Where we going?" " Bathroom." "Keller." "Get this processed and back to me right away." "Did he leave a note?" "Did you read it?" "Of course you did." "Would you read it to me, please?" ""Dear Silvia, I came to tell you something and then didn't."" ""I wanted to, but when I saw you I couldn't find the words."" ""I told you I didn't know where Simon is." "That was a lie."" ""He was there that day." "A young boy shot him."" ""I couldn't tell you." "I'm a coward." "Simon was braver than me."" ""You're braver than me." "I'm so sorry."" "I'm so sorry." "The second time was me." "I feel like my friends must feel when they try to say something." " It's all right." " That's what I say to them." "He left this with the note." "The only thing that I wanted besides having her back... was to be left alone."
