The Old Man

It's time to go home now.

The chopper is just a phone call away.

If we leave him here, he'll die.

We have to get him home.

Something happened between them.

I don't know what it is or what it means.

But if we were to leave him up there to die,

we'll have lost her forever.

Have you ever heard of a man named Morgan Bote?

He is the one who was behind the deal to deliver Dan Chase.

He's frozen all our assets and means to see us ruined over it.

Farouk!

You can't evac us if we're dead!

I'm on the hook for this. Just do it! You understand?

Would you like to tell me who you are?

My name is Parwana Hamzad.

Parwana.

Your father wants you.

- Now that we are all here...

I think we have 72 hours.

Anyone who's still here by then is dead.

- You said this before. - I did not.

- You said this before! - No, I did not!

I-I said we had ten minutes.

That was five minutes ago.

We have five minutes left before this chopper goes anywhere.

I've been asking for five more minutes for an hour.

Are we okay to get left behind if he up and splits?

She knows they won't wait long.

She'll be here.

She was on a raid a few years in.

There was an exchange of gunfire.

In the postmortem,

they ID'd a round in some guy's head that came from her weapon.

- She went through all the counseling...

...handled it well...

W-Why are you telling me this?

In case you were worried.

Isn't her first time dealing with this.

Taking a life.

No, they're not all the same.

She's here.

He just lost his mother.

I think I'm helping. I don't really know.

He doesn't speak any English,

-so you don't have to worry. -No, no. That's okay.

Listen, time is really tight.

In a couple of days, the army is gonna return

and they're gonna burn this place to the ground.

These people have been holding the government away with their money.

-Em-- -And the money dried up on them overnight.

-Em, you can't stay here. -I have to stay.

Why would you have to?

Because the person who made their money dry up is Morgan Bote.

Bote only grabbed me to get you to surrender yourself.

When I was taken instead of you, Bote got angry.

He's managed to freeze all their assets.

It's made them vulnerable in a time they really can't afford to be.

This place won't survive what comes next.

And I need you to fix it.

Fix it?

Fix what? How?

Get them off the sanctions list.

Persuade Morgan Bote to calm the fuck down

before a lot of innocent people get hurt here.

He's not someone who gets persuaded.

And when he's angry,

he's definitely not someone

anyone can calm the fuck down.

Each of you has told me what he was to you.

-What you were to him. -Em, that was a very, very long time ago.

Great. Then, it'll definitely get his attention

when both of you walk through his door

together after all this time--

No. You don't have any idea what you're asking for.

I know how this looks.

Believe me.

I know.

But I am still who you think I am.

To you. And to you.

But I cannot just leave these people here to die

because of a problem that followed me in through the door.

I just can't.

And I can't imagine that either of you would recognize me if I did.

I told them you could do it.

I told them you would do it because I asked you to do it.

And I wouldn't recognize either of you if you refused.

I trust you.

And I love you.

Please hurry.

Wait here.

What did you mean, "They're not all the same?"

I mean, I know what you meant.

But what did you mean?

Uh. When you put blood on the ground like that,

you know, not to protect something,

not to avenge someone,

not because it's your job to do it or by accident.

But when you do it to show somebody you love them,

there's no going back from it.

Trust me.

You think that's what you saw back there?

The clothes, the kid.

Do you think it happened to her that fast?

I don't know what we saw back there,

but I think some part of her is probably gone.

And some part is just being born.

What's the net result of all that?

Hard to know how to mourn someone

and meet them all at the same time.

No, I don't know.

I think a person can change a whole lot

without it being catastrophic.

As long as there's no one making them feel like it has to be.

Come on. This is our ride.

Not that one.

This one.

"Take care of the transpo, Harold.

Make sure it's reliable, Harold."

Well, there it is.

You're welcome.

They're in the air.

Will they do what you ask?

Can they do what you ask?

Yes, to both.

I'm told you have been seeing to Farouk.

He's a sweet boy.

I don't know why, but it seems to be keeping him calm.

- Huh. - Being around me.

Why?

Lately "why" seems like the strangest question to ask.

What "why" could possibly explain what we have done?

At any rate, plans are being formed as we speak.

Some will remain to defend our own.

Some will be evacuated elsewhere in the valley

where they will be safe.

Please don't tell me it's too dangerous for me here.

Please don't tell me that I don't belong here.

No.

You-- You belong.

You belong.

There's no need to say more about that.

But I'm going to ask you to leave.

But you just said--

There are other kinds of help I need.

Other fights that need fighting.

Other places that need support. I--

I... I need you to go back to the beginning.

Hey.

We haven't really properly met.

I'm Tarik.

Parwana.

Among other things.

What did he say to you?

He told me to find you.

And to go back to the States with you.

To help handle the business.

He's trying to get you out of here before it gets bad.

Yeah.

He cares about you.

Then maybe you could help me convince him.

To let me save his life.

This fucking sucks.

What?

You fucking heard me.

You spent too much time pretending to be a rich person.

Well, I don't recall pretending.

And I never spent more than one or two weeks a year

as Henry Dixon.

Dan Chase flew coach. This ain't coach.

And you got rich spending 50 weeks a year not even trying?

Well, more or less, yeah.

How?

Go on, how?

Not working for the government was a good start.

We should talk about the thing we don't wanna talk about.

-What's that? -A plan.

When we get to the Old Man's house,

I'm gonna do the talking.

-Okay. -I'm not kidding.

Why would I think you were?

I don't know that he'll listen to me,

but I know for a fact he isn't gonna listen to you.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

This one is too important...

...to let it get all wrapped up

in the layers of stuff between him and you.

Yeah.

We both know there'll be no forcing him into this.

And I don't buy for a second

that he's doing this because he's cranky

about being double-crossed.

There's got to be more to it than that.

We gotta be really careful about how we play this.

I'll give that some thought.

What's the matter with you?

What's the matter with me how?

You're planning on just beating this out of him, aren't you?

I don't know if it's safe to take that off.

Fucking piece of shit.
