Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan

Oh, fuck.

There is nothing about this that is good.

The foreign press are reporting that the base

was overrun by a local militia.

As far as our footprint is concerned, we were never there.

What about our casualties?

Three Americans. One SOG, two JSOC.

Why don't we address the real reason for this brief-- him?

Based on biometrics,

DS&T have concluded with a high degree of certainty

that the person we once had detained was this man.

His nom de guerre is "Suleiman al Bekaa."

We're still trying to track down his given name.

He appears in a few more videos like this.

Propaganda pieces. He never speaks.

We don't have an I.D. on this guy, the one playing possum.

Younger, deferential to Suleiman.

Definitely has his trust.

This Suleiman is ISIS?

We believe so, sir.

He's not ISIS.

Stand up.

That is to say, he may have been, but...

if he was, he's not anymore.

You may recognize Dr. Ryan

from this evening's installment of "jihadi theater."

He and Jim Greer were on the ground

in Yemen when the base was attacked.

Tell me, Dr. Ryan,

how is it you know so much about this guy,

and we're hearing about him for the first time?

I was just following the money, sir.

Groups like ISIS-- they make most of their money

from smuggling or seized oil reserves in Iraq and Syria.

They move that money through hawala networks.

It's all done analog, meaning the money's literally handed

from one person to another.

The account we froze was from a European bank.

I mean, it was funded

by multiple transfers from phony LLCs.

The money's been washed so many times,

there's no way we could locate just one source.

- Meaning what? Meaning these assholes have their shit

wired extremely tight.

Now look,

we all know part of ISIS's M.O. is attention.

If they did this, why haven't they claimed it?

That's not proof, Jim.

When he came to me with this Suleiman, I was skeptical, too.

Not anymore.

I've seen firsthand,

the men that hit this site were coordinated, well-trained.

They knew exactly where they were going

and what their objective was.

They even carried away their dead so we couldn't I.D. 'em.

Sue, I'd like to stand up a task force.

Who do you have in mind?

Well, given the origin of his financing, I think...

CTC Europe, uh...

should head this.

Nate, we found this guy. This should go to T-FAD.

T-FAD will still follow the money.

And whatever you find, you'll share with CTC Europe.

I'm sure they could use the help.

The president's flying back from Camp David.

I need options to put in front of him by morning.

You'll have them.

Any questions? All right, go to work.

What just happened? Did I say something wrong?

That had nothing to do with you.

What's the matter?

Nothing. I just tweaked my back back there.

Yeah, well, take a couple hours personal time

and get yourself checked out.

I'm fine.

Get it looked at.

Ah.

Hmm.

Yeah.

We'll have you out in about 20, Mr. Ryan.

I see they fused your L4 to L5 vertebrae together.

Given the extent of your prior surgeries,

I'd say you got off pretty lucky.

Some inflammation of the scar tissue around your thecal sac,

and a moderate lumbar sprain.

I can prescribe some hydrocodone with ibuprofen for the pain.

Oh, no. That's okay. No-no pills.

Well, ice will help with the inflammation,

and when the pain subsides, I'd suggest

doing some core strengthening.

Maybe try yoga.

- Yeah, I'll do that. - Any questions for me?

Where's Epidemiology?

Let's obtain simultaneous blood cultures

from the left and right antecubital fossa.

- You got it, Dr. Mueller. - Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I just had an appointment downstairs, and then

I remembered you said this is where you worked,

so I figured I'd come by and say hey.

- Hey. - Hey.

Um...

Are you okay?

Yeah. Just, I tweaked my back a little bit.

Listen, I'm really sorry we didn't get more of a chance

to talk at your dad's birthday party.

Yeah, that was, uh...

That was quite some exit you made.

Huh.

What was the big emergency?

Oh, that was a... contaminated shipment

of romaine lettuce left out on a Navy dock in Bethesda.

It was an E. coli scare, so...

Pretty exciting stuff, actually.

- I didn't know the Coast Guard picked people up for bad lettuce.

Well, you know, their motto is, uh, semper paratus.

- "Always..." - Ready?

- Wow. - Med school. Lots of Latin.

Marines-- lots of mottos. Hey, listen, I, um...

I really am sorry. I...

Apology accepted.

- That was easy. - Yeah. (laughs)

Marina, can you let Dr. Rumack know

that I, uh, catalogued these blood cultures this morning?

- Sure. - Thanks.

So do you get a coffee break soon, or...?

Uh, my shift just started.

Oh.

What about dinner?

Or give you a call?

- I asked my dad about you. - Oh.

He said you're one of the smartest guys he's ever met.

Oh.

But you're too good for your own good.

Is that even a thing? What does that mean?

Uh... moralistic, self-righteous.

Those were his words.

- Those were his words? - Yeah.

I don't give a shit what my dad thinks. (laughs)

Can I have your cell?

Yes.

There you go.

Propediem te videbo.

Yeah.

See you soon.

I knew that one.

You should try yoga.

For your back.

Oh, no, I'm...

All right.

Jack.

Hey, guys.

- Where you been? - Just at the doctor.

Everything okay?

Yeah. Just tweaked my back.

In Yemen?

Rowing.

So it's not true then?

What is not true?

That you were in Yemen with Greer.

Nope.

So you were just, like, taking a personal day then?

Wow, I wish I knew what you guys were talking about,

but I got a lot of work to do.

Yeah. No problem. We have stuff to do anyways.

- Jack. - Yeah.
