in internationaI waters

and they will torture your ass

untiI you sign a confession.

Murad, I got bigger problems

than torture ships, Murad.

Keeping this place afloat,

that's my torture.

Maybe this place float

if you don't give away

so much free food, huh?

Thank you, Abdulla. He's right.

I need to make money, reaI money.

Why you need money

so badly all of a sudden?

Because I would love to open

a new restaurant, a reaI restaurant,

with reaI Mideastern food, like back home.

There is a place on Washington I like.

That's gonna cost some serious G, M.

So? Why not? Maybe I'll get a partner.

This is America.

Maybe I'll partner with someone like Sam.

- Sam the Jew?

- So?

So? Sam the Sephardic f***ing Jew.

Murad, business is business.

Fikry here is Christian.

You're doing business with him.

- He's not a land grabber.

- What's left for an Iraqi Christian to grab?

Murad, Sam is Jewish,

but that doesn't make him a Zionist.

I trust him and he's a good businessman.

That's what I need.

- You asked him already?

- Yeah, he's researching the numbers.

Sure, sure, he's researching the numbers.

Of course he is.

He's gonna research those numbers,

he's gonna go behind your back,

he's gonna buy that building,

he's gonna jack your idea.

I'm telling you,

he will not partner with a Muslim.

You feeling me? You're gonna end up

being his employee b*tch.

If you don't mind, guys, I've had enough of

"It's hard being a Muslim" for one day.

I need to change,

and there is an important

visitor coming by later.

So be nice to him.

More important than us?

Easy on the sauce, okay?

Everybody complains.

Just easy on the sauce.

The ongoing investigation

into what is now being referred to

as a terrorist arms depot in Los Angeles

has netted severaI suspects

and authorities say arrests are imminent

Some of the explosive materials

have now been identified

as being both Iraqi

and US military in origin

Taxi!

- Hi.

- Yeah, okay. Get in, lady.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- To what do I owe this surprise?

- I'm free untiI evening rehearsaI.

Thought I'd give you a lift

to your appointment.

Oh, well, I guess it pays

to sleep with a cab driver after all,

especially one with a seven-episode deaI

on a new series.

Yeah, which is why I thought

I could finally...

Afford this.

Omar.

You're doing this

because you want to, right?

- Not because...

- Kate, I want to.

- Good night.

- Salwah?

Yes.

I haven't seen you in forever.

Oh, well, I've been here.

Hey, um...

- Yes.

- Do you want to someday, if you're free...

Do you want to have dinner with me?

Do you like Japanese?

I'm a hell of a sushi chef,

if I do say so myself.
