off at the airport on time.

Everything will be all right.

He probably just missed

his connection.

He hasn't called.

Lina.

Dad, when is Fatima

coming home?

Finish your milk.

Please, Abasi.

Tell her you made a mistake.

It's not the same

as when we were young.

There are rules, Samia.

There are rules.

Look at my sister Layla.

She'll never marry.

Call her, Abasi.

Please.

For me.

I have called.

I've left a dozen messages.

She doesn't answer.

What can I do?

Leave the egg alone!

Have you called your father?

Not yet.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry, it's nothing.

What have I done?

I'm proud of you

for standing up to him.

That's my taxi.

Please stay.

I want you in this apartment

by eight while I'm gone.

If my brother knew I was

leaving you here alone...

he'd kill me.

Okay?

See you in a few days.

We think it was an attempt

on Abasi Fawal.

Dixon was just wrong place,

wrong time.

If they got one of us,

that's a victory for them.

These are the latest of Rashid?

Three months after he escaped

the Jordanians.

They should've taken him out

when they had the chance.

So without Dixon,

who do we have?

Douglas Freeman, analyst.

Degree in economics

from Princeton.

Started out as a junior exec

in the oil business.

How long with us?

Since September 12th,

give or take.

Jesus.

He looks 12 years old.

Do you think he can do this?

He's smart.

He's been getting close...

with the ministers

of finance and interior.

He initiated the Madrasa

charity investigation...

that,

uh, brought in forty-four...

- al Qaeda fundraisers.

- Lee...

analyst is not a jackal.

We're spread thin.

Did you polygraph

the Egyptian?

Yeah. Came up clean.

Polygraph doesn't mean diddly.

Well, we always say that

when they pass.

Somethin' funny?

We lost someone today.

I traced him with Interpol,

Mossad, the Egyptians.

Nobody's interested.

I'm interested.

Okay.

What do you wanna do?

We can't hold him here

indefinitely.

Put him on the plane.

Yes, ma'am.

My grandma has

the middle floor. I'm on top.

I don't want her

to find me here.

She's away for the week.

I have a back way in.

No one will see us.

You okay?

My grandma's room.

Come.

Jeremy,

stop bouncing the ball.

You know you're not supposed

to do that in the house.

Why can't I come with you?

Because you have school,

and you have tryouts this week.

What's all this stuff?

These are my important papers,

Jeremy.

I need you to get off the bed.

Are you gonna see Daddy?

Yeah.

Why didn't he come home?

He just had to stay at work

a little bit longer.

Jeremy, your food

is on the table.

I wanna wait for Mommy.

I'll be down in just a second.

Okay, honey?

Go on.

Sorry. I just--I have a copy
