The first 197 lines.
If al-Qaeda did this, it is an act of war.
The FBI will collaborate with the Yemen government
and make as small a footprint as possible.
Who the fuck's in charge here?
I am.
Who are you?
The house was rented by bin Attash.
Walid Mohammed Saleh bin Roshayed bin Attash.
He's saying that if you want to
know about the house,
talk to Quso or long name.
You give me reason, I give you Quso.
I need you to clear a path for us.
17 dead Americans,
and their blood's gonna be on your hands.
I carried $36,000. I was going to Malaysia.
Ask him if it's for a guy named Khallad.
Walid Mohammed Saleh bin Roshayed bin Attash -
Is this the name of Khallad?
I found about the man you want... Khallad.
I'm having a bit of a problem here
with one of your guys.
Truth is, I'm in sort of a bind.
I thought you said his girlfriend's name was Liz.
The one I met was named Liz.
Well, you'd better tell her the truth
about your wife.
That problem we recently discussed?
I know our reward is coming.
Our problem.
It's being taken care of.
Ah, Gulf accents!
Greetings.
I want to rely on you
to fix things for us in America.
I'm at your service.
I have travelled a long way. Where do I sleep?
Good evening.
Just moments ago, I spoke with George W. Bush
and congratulated him on becoming
the 43rd president of the United States.
I, George Walker Bush, do solemnly swear...
I, George Walker Bush, do solemnly swear...
That I will faithfully execute
the office of president of the United States.
That I will faithfully execute the office
of president of the United States.
I count myself extremely fortunate to be back
and have the opportunity to serve a new president.
I thank you so much
for the confidence you've placed in me,
for the honor you do me.
Honored by your call to service
and looking forward to it.
It's gonna be a lifetime very rewarded.
Thank you, sir.
She canceled?
New assistant. All his fault.
- How's next week? - How about now?
Rest assured,
she's making time for an interview with "Vogue."
First African-American woman national security advisor.
Yeah, it's a big deal. I get it.
Get me Condoleezza Rice on the phone right now, please.
Annie Leibovitz will photograph.
They called me for a quote.
She doesn't get it. None of them do.
Every new administration must be brought up to speed
on the current national security climate.
Eight years ago with Bush Sr.,
- it was all about the Russians. - Right?
So now it is again.
Anything Clinton cared about must have been bullshit.
He went north? We'll go south.
Meanwhile, the threat matrix is through the roof.
That's what I'm trying to tell her.
- Try harder. -
Get their attention. Scare the shit out of 'em.
Yeah.
She will call me back.
Sure. She's a busy lady.
And if you are just joining us,
we have breaking news to tell you about:
a terrorist convicted of 213 counts of murder
in the 1998 bombing
of the American embassy in Kenya
will be sentenced to life in prison
without the possibility of parole.
- Yes! Yes! - Chesney!
Chesney! Chesney! Chesney!
Chesney! Chesney! Chesney! Chesney!
Justice was served.
So much time, so much effort... a hero.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
The American justice system worked.
You should all sleep very well tonight.
This is all you. Are you proud?
I couldn't have done it without Kathy and Floyd.
- Oh, shut up. - Ohh.
No... go back to work.
Now they're gonna want to make a martyr out of him.
Listen, I put in a request.
You're gonna do a language school intensive,
learn Arabic.
I don't want to do that.
Well, you learned Romanian, didn't you?
It can't be as hard as Romanian.
It's too late for me.
I'm coming up on retirement,
- same as you. - So what?
They're not gonna push you out the door.
They need you.
When it comes, I'll be ready to go.
I know. I know. Don't worry.
It's a good idea.
Ah.
No, of course.
He's here right now. I'll ask him.
Okay, then. Bye-bye.
I need you to sign this.
It's better if it comes from your account.
That was Laura.
She and George want to know if we can go down to Texas next weekend.
The twins will be there, they'd like to see us.
Sounds good. Will he fly us?
Sure.
But, Dad, you can't have another one until midday.
I know it hurts.
Yes, okay. I promise I'll call the doctor.
I'll see you later... Okay.
Thank you.
The aircraft is controlled
from the cockpit, or flight deck.
The pilot sits in the left seat,
and the copilot sits to the right,
with the control column located in the center.
In front of them is the instrument panel
containing the flight controls
enabling a smooth and safe flight.
The pilot and copilot examine the aircraft logs
and verify that all the controls are in the proper position...
Let's go.
Even as a kid, I knew
most Americans really didn't get it.
They didn't understand how the world worked,
what was fake and what was a bullshit distraction
from the way things really were:
corrupt...
evil.
I knew there were good guys and bad guys,
and I wanted to be one of the good guys.
But at the same time,
I appreciate I can be overzealous.
I also appreciate that sometimes the right thing to do
is to turn the other cheek.
You pulled me out of Yemen
in the middle of an investigation.
I'm not gonna ask why or what that's about.
I'm just here to tell you
that the investigation was going well.
I picked the right case agent too.
Soufan's young, but he's whip-smart.
Presumably the Yemenis trust him.
He's from around there, correct?
He was born in Lebanon. They don't trust him
any more than they trust any American.
Less, maybe.
But in spite of this, he was the,
you know, right man for the job.
If you say so.
I made personal connections
with some of the key players,
got some leads, but they know more.
Like to get back over there
before they forget how much they like me.
So when am I going back?
You're not.
You've been denied reentry into Yemen.
Who did that?
Ambassador Bodine.
Apparently you didn't make personal connections
with all the key players.
Did she say why?
She said a lot of things,
but reading between the lines,
I'd say she thought you were kind of an asshole.
Khallad rented the house the bombers stayed in.
We have to assume he was running the operation on the ground.
And we also have to acknowledge
that's an assumption.
So what do we know for sure?
One leg.
Fantastically identifiable characteristic.
He traveled from Malaysia to Bangkok to meet Quso.
Quso told you he gave him 36 grand.
Said it was for a new leg.
Which I do not believe.
