American Odyssey

Your mother was a very brave woman.

I am so sorry.

The Ansar Dine hold my friend prisoner.

She is in trouble.

I have a friend,

he is a gentleman in the Malian army.

I got my hands on a document, a transfer from SOC to Al-Qaeda.

Joe. I need to light a fire.

They killed your father. Any one of us could be next.

If you think something happened with your dad,

I could help.

Omar, I know this man. He's dangerous.

We're not safe. None of us are.

Colonel Glen.

Colonel? It's Odelle.

I'm alive.

01x05 Beet Feet

- Colonel Glen. - Colonel? It's Odelle.

I'm alive.

My God.

Odelle.

But your entire unit was... was...

Yes, they were.

- All of them. - But you had...

Yeah, I'm... I'm... I'm a little banged up,

but I'm... I'm fine.

Listen, Colonel, you need to understand.

The people that attacked us, they were not insurgents.

They were Osela.

The same people that were sent for SSE

after we killed Abdul Abbas.

Colonel?

I hear you, Sergeant, I'm just...

You're certain they were Osela?

Yes, I'm positive, sir.

I can fill in the details at the debrief.

Sir, my... my family.

Yes, yes, we need to get you home immediately.

Will you let them know that I'm okay?

Of course. That'll be the first call I make.

Thank you, and tell them that I'll call them the minute

I get to the embassy.

Embassy?

Yes, I'm with... I'm with Colonel...

- General. - I'm with General...

- Diallo. - General Diallo.

He's escorting me to the American embassy here in Bamako.

Isn't that SOP?

Not in this case.

We need to exercise extreme caution here, Sergeant.

Extreme caution.

I don't understand.

Most of our diplomatic security in the region

has been outsources to private military corporations.

- Osela? - Among others.

The embassy isn't safe.

You need to get... stand by one.

You need to get to number nine Avenue Sheikh Zayed

on the Fariko River.

Can you remember that? Do not repeat.

- Just say yes if you can. - Yes.

It's a classified safe house, so you'll have to extricate

yourself from the Malians, including that general.

- Understood. - Excellent.

Contact me when you arrive.

I'll send an extraction team for you ASAP.

Copy that.

Odelle...

you've been brave.

Extremely brave.

Now it's my job to bring you home.

Thank you, sir.

You will tell them it was me that saved you, eh?

- At the embassy? - Yes. Yes.

Who the hell is David Tenant?

Are you crazy?

Why don't we just broadcast it on the evening news?

You said he killed my father.

I've never even heard of him.

Your father did.

I was able to access his cell phone records

from the day he was killed.

What? How?

You know what, never mind. And? And?

Just before he died, your dad made several phone calls

to one person outside of his typical pattern.

- Tenant? - Yes.

He's a Senior VP at GBR Industries.

All right, but what's he got to do with...

Okay, I'll get to that, but first we need some ground rules.

No reporters, especially that Ruby woman.

She... she... she could be helpful.

Trust me.She isn't.

Okay, no reporters. Go on.

Well, like I said, Tenant works for GBR,

and GBR provides infrastructure for the military.

You know, laundry, recreational equipment, basketball courts.

So... ?

They do business in Mali.

Mali, Harrison, where those soldiers,

including Odelle Ballard, were killed,

allegedly by insurgents.

I... I don't follow.

Okay, look it, you tell your father

- there's a conspiracy in Mali. - Right.

He talks to Colonel Glen

about Odelle Ballard, and then he talks to this guy,

who just so happens to do military business in Mali?

Wait, in Mali and how many other countries?

24.

But that's not the point.

The... there's more.

I hacked into Tenant's email.

Bob, you can't just hack into people's emails.

The guy uses AOL.

What is it, like, 1991?

Anyway, Randall emailed Tenant

asking him questions about Ballard.

Told him he wanted to set up a meet.

Tenant agreed.

Said there was a lot to talk about.

Four hours later...

My father's dead.

Get in the car.

What do you want?

For you to stop acting like a lunatic

and start answering my questions.

Then you will let me go?

It depends.

Why does the Ansar Dine give a crap about you?

What do you have that they want?

Look, I have one of them on speed dial.

Want me to call him?

Fine.

It's this that the Ansar Dine want, okay? It's this.

That's what they want.

- Hello. - Rasha, it's Amar.

What's on it?

I don't know.

Why does the Ansar Dine want it?

I don't know.

Okay.

I got a computer that works now.

Guess we'll find out together.

Protestors.

Ah.

Don't worry. I will get you to the embassy, eh.

Embassy!

What are you doing? What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Damn it!

It's a simple question.

Do you work for me,

or do you still work for the Justice Department?

SOC broke the law.

I have to do what's right no matter where I work.

No one's telling you not to do what's right.

In fact, had you spoken with me first,

you would know, not only do I agree with you,

but so does Alex Baker.

He hired outside consultants to conduct a full investigation

of both SOC and Simons-Wachtel.

Who are these outside consultants?

Chuck Lees and Jack Levy of Morgan Jacobson.

- You're familiar? - Of course.

I'd like to speak with them.

That's always been my intention, Peter.

I hired you for your intelligence savvy

and your moral compass.

But none of that is useful to us without your trust.

I understand.

Now you need to repair your relationship with Alex Baker.

He's even angrier than I am.

Oh, and by the way...

I hear you been speaking with Sophia Tsaldari.

I have.

So far she's not interested in meeting with Mr. Baker.

I'm sure you'll persuade her.

Black Sands.

What's that?

I don't know.

It's got something to do with oilfields in Pakistan.

It's weird. There's no final copy.

No article with the notes.

Well, maybe he never finished it?

Hey, Bob, what's up?

So did you find anything?

Yeah, so my father mentions Tenant as a source

for an unfinished article about Pakistani oilfields.

- You ever hear of Black Sands? - No, but an unfinished article

could be the reason Tenant killed your father.

What's it got to do with Odelle Ballard and Colonel Glen?

Uh, nothing yet.

But everything's linked, Harrison.

- Everything. - Okay. I should go.

No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I called to tell that you right now as we speak,

Tenant is having lunch at a place called the Edison Club.
