Nizar.

WOMAN:

Zooming in.

Visual confirmed.

Long wave 10.7.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Sh*t.

- I can't talk right now, Larry.

- She wants the house.

FERRIS:
Give her the house.

It's a piece of sh*t, all right?

- We're getting this, sir.

- We're getting it.

She can ask for whatever she wants,

but I'm not listening.

What the hell are you calling for?

Hang up the phone.

Hang up the phone.

Are you on the line?

I can see you now, all right?

You are attracting attention.

Get the f*** out of here right now.

I will handle this on my own.

Roger that. Off target.

WOMAN:

Copy. Off target, 3-10.

FERRIS [IN ARABIC]:

Yes.

FERRIS:

Good, good, good.

FERRIS:

You want an orange? You hungry?

No.

So, Nizar...

...why'd you come to me, huh?

I know too many things.

They prepared me to go outside Iraq.

What do you mean by "outside Iraq"?

They said they need me

to become shahid...

...for martyrdom.

When a man knows too much,

they say martyrdom.

Who do you mean by "they," Nizar? Hm?

[SNIFFLES]

I don't want to die.

I want to go to America.

I have a Ph.D., you know?

And they want me...

They want me to blow myself up.

- Ph.D. in what, chemistry?

- No.

What do you know

about radiological materials?

Linguistic. I speak five languages.

Five, you know?

Nobody should say "martyr" to me.

Nobody.

- You are a rare and a delicate flower.

- Yes, I am.

- Yes.

- Yes.

So you don't wanna kill the Jews

and the Crusaders, huh?

What do you know about our pain?

Cut the bullshit, all right?

Give me some information.

What do you know?

[NIZAR SIGHS]

You know,

I know enough to be martyred.

But with you,

I know enough to stay alive.

You have a computer?

[AL-SALEEM SPEAKING IN ARABIC

ON COMPUTER]

[LINE RINGING]

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

- Yup.

FERRIS:
Hey, Ed, it's me.

I got an Iraqi walk-in, up near Samarra.

He's got a communiqu video here that

somebody walked across the Iranian border.

I'm watching it right now, sir.

- Can you see his face?

- Yes, captain.

I am looking at the white whale.

- It is Al-Saleem.

- What's he saying?

Well, it's gotta be current.

He mentions the Sheffield bus bombings

a week ago.

He's telling the brothers to prepare for

a UK operation's already planned...

...which is the bombing these people

f***ed up in Manchester this morning.

Let me translate this part

for you directly.

[SPEAKING IN ARABIC]

"We will avenge the America wars

on the Muslim world.

We will come at them everywhere.

We will strike at random, across Europe,

then America, continually.

We have bled.

Now they will bleed. And bleed.

Until they are bled out."

WOMAN:

Ed.

It's 6:
00 in the morning.

Saving civilization, honey.
