"Tyrant."

Previously on "Tyrant"

Your family is a horror!

Your parents are monsters, Ahmed!

I'm actually on my way home.

You're coming back?

You have to tell him, as terrible as that will be.

I'm a broken man, my friend.

I'm sorry.

- I don't want your apologies! - (Barry grunting)

You are trying to provoke Bassam into a fight.

Let him watch me kill his wife.

There's been an attack

on the First Lady's motorcade

- in Ma'an. - Get out!

Mom, I can't, I can't!

You can.

All right?

- (both gasp) - Mom!

- (Maloof) General Said is dead. - No!

He has our daughter!

- (Emma crying) - Oh...

Hand over your wife.

I'll release her.

It's my life for her.

I am the President of this country.

I can't deliver you to a terrorist

- so he can kill you. - (Molly) I need to contact

Ihab bin Rashid.

I'm gonna trade my life for hers.

Still not hungry?

So no eating, no talking.

Suit yourself.

How is any of this my fault?

What did I do to you?

Tell me.

What did you do?

You were born.

Born an Al Fayeed.

You are here because of what your family did to mine.

My father's trying to change that.

You think you know your father?

You don't.

He killed my wife.

My beautiful Samira.

She was...

well, she was not much older than you are.

No.

That's a lie.

You're a liar.

Your father is the liar.

Your uncle, your grandfather...

at least they were honest about who they were,

what they were.

But your father...

Ihab?

Molly Al Fayeed told Al-Qadi

that she's willing to trade herself for her daughter.

Bassam will allow this?

She hasn't told him.

You have a carrier

in the Gulf and a drone base in Djibouti,

so tell me what I'm missing, General.

Good intel, Mr. President.

Without boots on the ground,

our eyes in the sky just don't know where to look.

And you have no new intelligence?

Our assets are limited inside Caliphate territory.

I spoke to the Syrians.

Same answer.

So what you're all saying is we can't rescue my daughter.

Not before Rashid's deadline.

Maybe I can buy some time, offer him something else.

Money, weapons?

You're not dealing with a rational human being.

He doesn't value anything.

Except killing your wife.

If he wants revenge, why can't he just kill me?

Because it's not just revenge they're after.

Rashid and the Sheik want to draw you into a fight,

playing up the notion that you're an American,

hellbent on restarting the Crusades.

Calling you an American,

picking a fight to destabilize this democracy

you're trying to build... it's only about one thing.

They want Abuddin.

These people who took Emma Al Fayeed,

they live in a modern world,

but they're stuck in a medieval past.

They view our freedom, our prosperity, our hopefulness

as a threat to their outdated ways.

That is their problem, not ours...

- because... (speech in background) - I'm just checking if he's okay.

Wishing his family well.

"His family"?

You mean the Al Fayeeds.

Like we're old friends.

We don't hang out together.

You should be careful not to overstep.

He's my student.

It's fine for me to care about his well-being.

Just...

pay attention to the speech.

Peace is their enemy.

So they resort to violence,

thinking that we will resort to violence ourselves.

But we will not be drawn in.

As we pray for Emma Al Fayeed,

we stand with her father, our President,

in facing violence with forgiveness...

Did you sleep?

I, uh, I slept in the other room.

I didn't want to disturb you.

Molly?

What?

We have nothing to say.

You decided.

Molly...

Doctor's here.

Mom?

- This way. - Hello.

- Please. - Thank you.

Sammy.

I know this is unbearable for you.

Remember Ma'an?

Ihab was bleeding.

I told you to let him die, but you didn't.

You saved his life.

Yes.

Then you let him go.

Sammy, I can't undo what's been done.

No, you can't.

The infection came on last night.

We're keeping it in check

with a course of full-spectrum antibiotics,

but his surviving kidney has sustained significant damage.

How significant?

It's functioning at five percent, even on dialysis.

Effectively, he's facing total renal failure.

So he needs a kidney.

We can talk about that later.

I need to go back to the War Room.

A transplant would save his life.

A child often has the best odds

of matching with a parent.

I don't know how I feel about that.

Is that a terrible thing for me to say?

Under the circumstances, Ahmed.

There is still

a thin shadow along the left hemisphere, see?

So I'd like you to take another MRI

sometime in the next 12 hours.

I don't think I'm gonna do that.

Well, if you're feeling nausea along with the headaches...

Excuse me.

Hello?

You wanted to talk to me?

Who is this?

Ihab Rashid.

Prove it.

Mom?

Emma. Are you okay?

Did he hurt you?

I'm okay.

Listen to me, I am gonna get you out of there.

Okay? I promise. I promise.

Emma? Emma?

You told Sheik Al-Qadi

that you would trade yourself for your daughter.

Yes.

Your husband, does he know about this?

No.

You would betray him so easily?

I am a mother.

Tell me what I have to do to get my daughter back.

Tomorrow, 1800,

El Deir Square. You wear a blue hijab.

Someone will take you to the border.

Your daughter will be there.

Why should I trust you?

1800, El Deir Square.

Wait.

Sync and corrected by Gianluca Belfiglio

I'm sorry, I know I sh... I shouldn't just show up here.

What are you talking about?

Of course you can.

I have to get away.

And I know that's bad, I know I...

should be with my family right now, but...

Did something happen?

No.

But it can't be good. (shivering)

And I... I just need...

What?

It's okay.

It's okay, hmm?
