Born of War Page #2

Why are you telling me this?

Because Khalid is a warlord.

Do you understand?

He's a terrorist.

And...

less than a year after your

mother went to work for him,

someone told the Soviets where he lived

and they bombed his house.

And your mother escaped

and the Americans asked us

to find her a new identity

because they knew

that he would hunt her down

and kill her, no matter what.

His son was killed in the bomb.

- Are you saying that my mother was a spy?

- No.

No.

She was in the wrong

place at the wrong time.

But Khalid thought she was.

Your dad knew, too.

He was ex-army.

Why now?

Something must have tipped him off

that your mother was still alive,

perhaps when you moved over

from the States or...

Do you use any social networking sites

like Facebook or Flickr or...

- Are you trying to say that this is my fault?

- No. God, no. No, no, no.

No. I'm sorry, I...

I just...

I just want to go see my parents, okay?

I...

Would you like to come through?

Mina, this is Simon.

He works for me.

I want to see my sister now.

You can't.

You'll be twice as easy to spot together.

Why does Khalid want us, anyway?

We didn't even do anything.

His son died.

It's a vendetta culture there.

I mean, people get killed

for things their grandparents did.

They tried to kill your sister, too.

You saw it yourself.

If you know who he is,

why can't you catch him?

We've been looking for, what, 10 months?

That whole region is a

diplomatic no-go zone.

Officially we're not even there.

That's why I've hired Simon unofficially.

He's not British intelligence. He's a...

An independent contractor.

Just let me talk to her.

She's nine years old.

We can't trust her not to tell...

What?

That you're still alive.

What?

She thinks I'm dead?

Mina, everyone does.

Who's Sue Walker?

You are.

Nice place.

The, uh...

The owners are away

for six months, then we'll move you on.

You'll be used to Sue Walker by then.

Who's Sue Walker?

It's your name.

Simon, please take me to my sister.

No one needs to know.

I'm not paid to make decisions like that,

Mina, I'm sorry.

Come on, I want to show you something.

It's the penthouse, so you, uh,

you get the roof garden.

Thought it might make

you feel more at home.

Sorry about the, uh, view.

I'll be in England till

the end of the week.

My number's in there.

Dee?

Sorry, this number is no longer available.

O'II be fine.

Go. Please, for me. Go!

Mum!

Dee!

Let's talk about that.

There's a new study out

from the London School of Hygiene

and Tropical Medicine,

which sounds like a fun school to go to.

They did a study on obesity

and calculated people in America

are 34 billion pounds overweight.
