The Border

- Just a minute, please, sir. - Kessler, I.C.S.

Ma'am?

- Has the plane docked yet?

- Jetway doors are opening as we speak. Hm!

I need those Haddad photos, and I need them 5 minutes ago.

And we're sure it's Haddad?

- Damascus confirmed. - Agent Slade?

- Yes, uh... Here's the photo he's using on the passport,

and, uh, here's the photo of Haddad taken two days ago

in Syria by Mossad.

I'm going to try and get into airport security.

Just feed me anything you think might be helpful to me here...

C'mon! C'mon, just, just show me a little love here, please...

- Passenger's about to get off. Williams, Lepinsky, you there?

- On our way down to the Customs Hall.

CBSA is setting up alternate clearing areas.

- - C'mon...

Yes! I got it! I got it! Hey!

I got airport security feeding live, okay?

Good, that was good. Did you see that? It was fantastic, like we were dancing.

- I've got 2 agents in the jetway. - Okay.

- Okay, there he is. There he is, boss.

Here they come. Positions...

- Wasn't Tariq Haddad at some secret lab in the Philippines?

- Word is he's developed some new gel explosive. - We're on.

Do you believe that shit?

I remember when Polaroids were goddamn miracles of technology.

- Okay, track Haddad as far as the escalator,

then divert the rest of the passengers to Area C.

Slade, can you identify Haddad's companion?

Haddad just handed him a note. - M-m-maybe they, uh...

Maybe they traveled together? I don't know. I'm going to check up the seating plan.

Bring up the airplane seating plan for me.

Okay, um... Karim.

Nizar Karim. I'm going to cross-reference that with the passport registry.

Got it. Nizar Karim.

He's a Canadian citizen, traveling on a Canadian passport.

- Enhance the image. - No, uh, it's fixed-lens - I don't think - oh, my God...

Hold on, just hold on a second here, boss.

Let me back this thing up. Do you see this?

Does that... does that look off to you? He looks off to me.

Wh- what is that around his waist?

- Too much Syrian food? -

- Haddad could be strapped. It might be a money belt, or scanner-proof explosives.

- Copy that. -

is Nizar Karim. Nothing on file, but keep him for questioning.

Sergeant Hourani. Stay with him.

- [Roger. Tracking Karim as second target.]

- Immigration and Customs Security! May I have your attention!

We need you to move quickly but calmly out of this area.

Right here, sir. Yes.

- Right now, we need you to clear the area.

- Suspect is approaching the escalator.

It's showtime here...

Ah, I'm sorry.

Did I hit ya? Long flight.

My feet are like watermelons. All right, off you go then...

Habibi.

- [Target is clear on the escalator.]

Shove the bag!

Freeze!

- Hold your fire! Hold you fire! - He's wired!

- Guys, somebody tell me what's happening down there?

We appear to have a standoff.

- If you surrender, you live. Anything else is suicide.

- Perhaps. But I won't die alone.

- This is not good. This is not a good situation.

Aah!

- Check his shirt! Check his shirt!

Definitely packing.

- Thank you, Major. We'll take it from here.

- I wasn't aware we'd notified CSIS.

- Hand over the prisoner, Major.

- What's U.S. Homeland Security doing here? Are we extraditing?

That information's classified.

- Haddad blew up a Canadian embassy.

- What rock did he crawl out from under?

I am not a terrorist.

- Can I see your passport, please?

- You can't think I'm involved in this!

- If you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about. - All I did was sit next to him!

I don't even know his name. - Tariq Haddad.

- The embassy bomber? Oh, my God!

- Why were you in Syria, Mr. Karim?

- I was attending my grandmother's funeral.

- Mr. Haddad was seen handing you a note. - What?

- He wrote on the back of a business card.

You mean this? Here.

Take it.

Who is Donald McTavish?

An orthodontist.

I told him my son needs braces.

- I'm sorry, sir. I'm going to have to detain you while we check out your story.

But my wife - she's waiting!

I'm a Canadian citizen!

- If you're telling the truth, you should be home by supper...

Where's Daddy?

Any moment now, I'm sure...

- How did you find out about Haddad? Have you been spying on us, Mannering?

CSIS spying?

- He entered the country illegally. I want time with him.

- Write out a list of questions, and I'll see they get to Gitmo.

- ICS does not take orders from CSIS.

- No, but we both take orders from the Deputy Minister.

Would you care to talk to him?

- Release the prisoner. - Ah!

- Who have we here? - Nobody.

I teach high school. - So far he checks out.

Karim! Karim!

- He wants Mr. Karim to call his lawyer.

That's interesting.

- Please, I... - Mr. Karim is not under arrest.

As far as we know, all he did was sit next to Haddad on the plane.

- Haddad did write him a note.

- I think you better leave Mr. Karim with us.

Don't worry.

We'll take good care of him.

- You've had quite a day, Sergeant Hourani.

- Sir, I had no idea-- - Haddad made you, he saw your weapon.

Now you condemned a possibly innocent man to his worst nightmare.

- Karim was sitting beside him-- - You're new to the unit, Sergeant,

so I'll say this just once: you work for me.

Not CSIS, not the RCMP.

Don't ever undercut me like that again.

[Message from the loudspeakers in the background]

Watch, watch.

Here we go. Ah, he's here.

Here, I take it back. There, there. See that? Right there.

- Shit, he was right! Haddad saw my gun.

Oh, you're hyper-emotional.

Are you in the post-luteal phase of your cycle right now? - What?

- Haddad blew up a Canadian embassy. He was active here!

Immigration and Customs Security - that would be you -

polices our borders and arrests evildoers.

CSIS gathers intelligence

[and interrogates said evildoers.] - But Haddad--

And you both report to me.

Fine, take Haddad.

But Nizar Karim could be an innocent bystander.

Well, some additional evidence

has, uh, surfaced -

[not that it's any of your concern.]

- Do I have to remind you what Mannering's mistakes have cost us in the past?

But in the current climate, a man like Mannering

is invaluable.

- A man of no conscience. -

You did good work catching Haddad - congratulate your men for me.

[Ceremonious music, bells tolling]

Don't worry about the boss.

He just likes a clean chain of command. It's a JTF2 thing.

JTF2?

- Elite commandos flown around the world on special ops?

- I know what JTF2 is. What did Kessler have to do with it? - He ran it.

- Chocolate brownie? You kids need to fatten up.

- Hey! Uh, my BMI is actually 20.3,

which is well within the normal range, I'll have you know.

- Carbs, huh. - Hey!

Run it again.

K-A-R-I-M.

No, Syria. All flights in or out of Damascus.

- C'mon, man. I got four fake passports with your prints all over them.

- So, four liars showed me their documents.

I touch a lot of things. - I'm watching you, Frankie.

Sooner or later, you're mine.

- So what, I'm supposed to be scared or something?

Kick him loose.

- CSIS won't talk about Nizar Karim.

And they've taken over the Tariq Haddad file.

- Sweet. - You mean they grabbed credit for the arrest.

- Haddad's been developing a gel explosive that can get past airport security.

This is a dry run. - Cocky bastard!

Nizar Karim is a wild card,

so I've opened an investigation. Slade?

- Uh, so far, he looks squeaky clean.

He's got joint Canadian citizenship, no criminal record,

a good credit rating.

Taught at the same high school for eight years, um,

doesn't appear on any lists even remotely connected to Jammaa at-Takfir wal Hijra

or Al-Qaeda. - Why was he in Damascus?

- His grandmother really did die. Her funeral was 3 days ago.

And the orthodontist?

- A 62-year-old Scotsman who spends most of his time growing prize-winning roses.

"Rosa Mary McTavish," named after his mother. - Aw...

- Check this out! It was just posted.

- In a stunning arrest this afternoon at Toronto's Pearson International Airport,

the Canadian Security Intelligence Service

apprehended Tariq Haddad, 5th on the FBI's most-wanted list.

According to CSIS,

Haddad is a leading figure in Jammaa at-Takfir

and wanted in connection with the 2003 bombing

of the Canadian embassy in Ethiopia.

A biochemist, Haddad is also believed

to have been developing a new generation

of gel-based explosives, that would bypass airport...

Williams, Lepinsky,

look into Jammaa at-Takfir wal Hijra. See if it leads back to Karim.

Gray, you and Hourani

check out Karim's acquaintances and colleagues.

- Um, shouldn't we start with his home?

- I'm sure Mannering has horsemen
