to your phone...

over the last few months.

No, sir. I've never talked

to anybody named Rashid.

What were you doing

in Cape Town?

Why am I shackled this way?

I want to speak to a lawyer.

What were you doing

in Cape Town?

Attending a conference...

for chemical engineers.

I was invited by the South

African Fossil Fuels Foundation.

Who did you meet with?

List them.

Can I call my wife?

No.

These are all

well-regarded professionals...

in my industry.

Are you familiar

with bomb-making techniques?

What?

Have you ever constructed

a bomb?

This is ridiculous.

You've never

constructed a bomb?

No, sir.

Six years ago...

I, uh...I worked briefly on

a study commissioned by the ATF.

Nothing to do

with bomb-making.

Just detection, using

trace paper technology.

You can check it out.

Thank you.

We will.

The point is...

you have experience

with explosives.

There were ten of us

on that team.

It was for a government agency.

Have you arrested them, too?

Rashid Salimi.

I don't know anyone

named Rashid!

Where is he?

I don't know.

I'm gonna call him.

You've reached Anwar.

Please leave a message.

Hey, it's us.

We're at Arrivals...

and we don't see you anywhere.

Maybe we got

the information wrong.

Call me back when you get this.

Okay, bye.

El-Hazim claimed responsibility

within minutes of the attack.

The incident took place

in a crowded square...

as residents

were heading to work...

leaving nineteen dead

and dozens more injured.

The fourth

in a series of attacks...

the bombing has once again

raised concerns...

that extremists

are targeting governments...

I need everything we have

on Al-Hazim Brigade. Okay?

I have been asked

to fill in for Dixon...

until a replacement

can be found.

Uh, I need a work-up on Fawal.

Uh, Abasi Fawal.

Okay.

I need a shirt.

- Are you okay?

- I need a shirt.

I need a shirt. I need--I need

you to get me shirt...

- Okay. Okay.

- okay?

Okay, I need a plain shirt...

- not a--not a shirt with stripes.

- Yes.

- I know what a shirt is, Douglas.

- Just a plain cotton shirt.

- Do you--Do you know

what I'm talk--Okay.

- Okay?

Okay. Good. I need a shirt.

And l--I need a--I need,

um...uh...

What? Gum?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

If Cape Town says he boarded

and D.C. says he didn't...

then one of them is wrong.

I'm sorry, sir,

but you cannot just get...

on a plane in one country

and not get off in another.

Now, you must have

some record of him...

arriving or transferring

to another airline.

Yes.

Well, check again.

Is he asleep?

He wants you to read to him.

Can you do it?

I'm on hold.

Did you speak to the hotel?

They said they dropped him
