"I can't remember the name of that salad that I like from the cafeteria." "Oh, well, that is serious." "Okay, there is also something else" "I wanted to ask you." "I think it's amazing that you're going back to the International Jazz Festival in Istanbul, but how exactly does a blind man navigate a huge music festival in a foreign city?" "I know Istanbul better than some Turks, and for what I don't know I can always make a friend." "Excuse me, sir, can't you see that won't fit?" "No, actually, I can't see." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "It makes it harder to win at darts, that's for sure." "And to find a good place for your bag on a crowded plane." "Well, it's my job to take care of your bag, so don't worry about that." "Thank you." "So if you want to maybe talk about darts later or a more suitable game like chess," "I could call out all the moves." "I'm actually killer at Battleship." "Done." "Excuse me for just one minute." "Green goddess salad, no peanuts." "Made a friend already, huh?" "Hanging up now, Walker."

"I can almost guarantee you that when my sister sees this she will want the exact same color." "Well, send her here." "Oh, she'll want to know exactly where I got it done." "She's a little older than me, so she'd never admit it." "But secretly, she wants to be just like me." "Well, that's the thing about family, isn't it?" "Sometimes she wants to be like you." "And sometimes she just wants to be close to you." "So I take it you have sisters?" "A brother." "And he wants to be just like you?" "He's dead." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "Hey, Auggie, it's me." "I made contact with Khani's sister." "She says he's dead, but I think she's hiding something." "Call me back." " Get in." " Agent Rossabi." "So are you usually in the habit of getting into strange cars because someone tells you to?" "I made you for FBI." "Your plates are a dead giveaway." "Really?" "How does someone who works at the Smithsonian know what FBI plates look like?" "We had an exhibit on license plates through the ages." "Wasn't very popular." "Am I in trouble or something?" "I don't know." "Depends." " On what?" " My mood." "By visiting Leyla Khani you walked into an investigation" "I've been working on for three years." "So what were you doing in there?" "Getting my nails done." "It's my day off." "You drove all the way to Baltimore for that, really?" "Heard she's the best." "Oh, she is." "She's one of our best assets." "And she's been feeding us information about her brother," "Afran Felat Khani." "She told me he was dead." "I wish he was." "He's been operating cells in the Middle East since 2006, targeting U.S. soldiers and interests." "A special forces unit even pursued him during the Iraq war, and I am so close to nailing him." "So the last thing that I need is for you to spook Leyla into cutting off our intel." "Do you understand?" "That was never my intention." "No, I know, I know." "You were getting your nails done." "Did you say a special forces unit was pursuing him during the war?" "Yeah, why?" "No reason." "I think he's going into a restaurant." "I'm gonna need you to wear this." "Okay, not that I don't embrace this, but we are in public in a Muslim country." "Right." "Also probably best if the blind man isn't in charge of hiding the bug." " Okay, I'm ready." " Great." "I need you to go into the restaurant and order a coffee, whatever drink you'd normally order." "While it's being made, casually scan the restaurant like you're waiting for a friend who hasn't arrived yet." "Just be yourself and have fun." "I read somewhere that wars are not fought to kill people." "They're fought to affect political change, to move resources and borders." "Maybe that would be true if you were looking in from a thousand miles and a hundred years away." "To us, it was mostly about killing." "Maybe because we'd been sent there to kill." "All right, here's the plan." "Billy, you cover the front." "I want a four man stack up to the breach." "Chris and Jason, break off and lock up the rear." "Let's go." "Billy?" "Sniper!" "Ahh!" "Chris!" "Damn." "Chris." "Chris, hey, look at me." "Look at me, you stay strong." "You're gonna be fine." "Nasir, you're with Chris." "Jason, you're my cover." "Let's go." "Okay, okay." "Shh, shh." "All clear." "Hey, it's me." "Auggie, did you know Khani was being investigated by the FBI?" "Rossabi intercepted me in Baltimore while I was visiting his sister." "So to answer your original question, he's not dead." "But I think you already knew that." "Annie, I have to make this fast." "I have to be in Sanayi at 4:00." "The concert can wait." "There was a special forces unit tracking him during the Iraq war." "That was you, wasn't it?" "Annie, I have something I have to tell you." "Please." "Why could you have told me from the beginning?" "Look, I want to thank you for all that you've done for me." "I am sorry that I didn't read you in, and I'm sorry you went to all this trouble." "I truly am." "Auggie, please, tell me what's going on." "Let me help you." "Thanks again." "For everything." "Good-bye, Annie." "Good-bye." "Yeah, Annie?" "What is it?" "I hope it's not a bad time." "Actually, I am having a terrible day." "My computer crashed again." "So unless you can fix a motherboard or have some good news, it's a pretty bad time." "I can't fix a computer and I don't have good news, but I do need your help." "What is it, Annie?" "I've been working on something for Auggie." "He asked me to confirm that a certain Iraqi terrorist was dead." "It was just a small favor, which turned out to be not so small when I walked into the FBI investigation of the man." "You did what?" "I have a strong feeling that Auggie has located him in Istanbul and is attempting to track and kill him on his own." "What makes you think that?" "He said he had to be in Sanayi, Mahali, by 4:00." "First I thought it was for a concert, but the jazz festival never leaves Istanbul." "The only thing in Sanayi is a little airport." "And the only flight leaving at 4:00 is a cargo plane headed for Lima." "Joan, he doesn't sound like himself." "I think something is really wrong." "Who's the terrorist?" "Afran Felat Khani." "Damn it, Auggie." "Do you know who that is?" "Do you know why Auggie would be trying to track him?" "Nasir?" "Hey, you gotta get out of there!" "There's a bomb!" "Chris!" "Jason!" "Run!" "I was able to get the plane's specifications from an old friend in air traffic control." "Tell me everything you see." "How many aisles are inside?" "Uh, just one down the middle." "Cargo containers are at the front and back and along each wall." "What's inside them?" "On this flight?" "Textiles." "There's rolls of silk, wool, and cotton." "There's also some woven carpets." "Good, nothing to spill or break." "Do you see any measurements?" "The aisle's about 1 1/2 meters wide." "The ceiling's about three meters high, so you won't hit your head." "Good to know." "Also the hold is the length of the plane minus the cockpit." "There's room to maneuver but nowhere to go." "Just like I like it." "Meeting me." "What can I do for you?" "Actually, it's something I can do for you." "Well, that's even better." "In theory, of course, if Afran Felat Khani were to roll out of a plane onto a tarmac in D.C., does the FBI have enough evidence to prosecute him?" "Five times over." "What if the name of the airport and the time of the flight came to you as an anonymous tip?" "The FBI is obligated to investigate all anonymous tips that relate to terror suspects." "Then I'd wait by your phone." "How many miles do you have?" "I work for an international airline." "I've got about 800,000." "Then pick a place, anywhere in the world, and I will meet you there in a month." "Anywhere?" "Anywhere." "This really was the best layover I've ever had." "Barbados?" "I'll buy the Planter's Punch." "Hang on." "Hello." "Hi, can I talk to Auggie, please?" "It's for you." "I think it's your wife." "She sounds rather upset." "Yes?" "You haven't been picking up your phone, so I had to resort to other measures." "Look, whatever you're about to do, don't." "Annie, like I told you, it's complicated." "It's not!" "The FBI are ready to take Khani into custody." "They have enough evidence to prosecute him and shut down all of his networks." "That's dozens of cells all over the world plotting attacks against Americans and American interests." "The Office of International Affairs at the Justice Department is on board." "And we've arranged to reroute that flight to D.C." "Please, Auggie," "I know you're furious and hurt, but this is what we do, what we work towards every day." "Thousands of lives could be saved." "I'm sorry." "It's too late." "That wasn't my wife." "I don't have one." "Okay." "Wait." "How did you know you could trust me?" "I didn't know." "So thank you."
