Cal, spit it out. We have 25 people

out there waiting for dinner.

I've never come to you

with anything operational.

-We've always been clean.

-What the f*** are we talking about?

Karim.

It's about Karim.

They want him for questioning.

-Who wants him?

-Everybody.

- He's got a brother. Did you know that?

- What? No, he's got no one.

Why do you think Nadia took him in?

Rafid Abu Rajal.

They were separated in '68.

Karim came here to Beirut.

Rafid went to prison

for two years in Jordan.

Hold on.

Where's this going?

Munich.

The brother left a rental car

outside the Olympic Village.

They've got prints. They've got a witness.

They got this, Mas.

That's Karim and his brother

six months ago here in Beirut.

They who?

There's an operations supervisor

at the bottom of the driveway.

They want him now.

They who? Mossad?

I can help you. I can't make this go away.

So it is Mossad.

-Israel just drops a dime--

-Your people are all over this.

This is bullshit.

The State Department froze

your security access two hours ago. Okay?

Someone talked. It leaked.

It's gotta be now. It's not safe.

Cal, it's Karim for f***'s sake.

You've got the kid brother

of Global Enemy Number One

serving canapes to congressmen.

What are you gonna do?

Drag him out of here?

You think Nadia's gonna go for that?

She just filed papers for his sponsorship.

We just got him a student visa,

for chrissakes.

He's part of the family, Cal.

Not my call.

You go tell your boss that I'll be

down to talk to him in five minutes.

Karim, you be honest with me.

If you lie to me, if you hang me up,

I cannot help you.

Your brother.

Is he dead?

-Is he dead?

-When is the last time you saw him?

Is he dead? Is Rafid dead?

He's not dead. Okay?

I need you to answer my question.

When did you see him last?

Months... Six months.

Six months where?

He comes to me.

He comes to you where?

I turn around and he's there...

on the street.

On the street.

He's here? In Beirut?

No! In Spain.

He lives in Spain now.

He cooks to make a restaurant.

Why would you lie to me about this?

Why are you angry?

Okay. I'm not mad at you.

I'm not mad at you. Okay?

I just need you

to tell me the truth. Okay?

His passport...

He took a Spain passport.

A new name.

He says no one can know.

If I tell anyone, he loses everything!

I promised him!

What's going on out here?

Go. Now. Go to the kitchen. Wait there.

What did he do?

I don't know. Nothing, maybe.

I don't know.

I need to handle this.

Go back inside,

make sure dinner gets out in time, okay?

I'll be back in a few minutes.

This is bad, isn't it?

It's nothing that can't be fixed.

All right?

Karim.
