Soon we'll need a Rascal scooter

to help us get round the side.

You see, the average

human body weight is 137 pounds

and in North America it's 189 pounds.

Another terrorist attack

in the Wakhan Corridor last night.

Fanatical anti-western nationalist

Khalid Zeerak

claimed responsibility

as part of his ongoing campaign

to prevent oil company Nasco

drilling in the region.

Chief advisor to Nasco,

Mohammed Ombruhami,

was targeted and killed in the attack.

His son Dagar will continue

his father's work.

Let this be a message

to foreign imperialists

and the traitors who help them.

This is just the beginning.

Mina, it's me, Simon.

Mina.

Mina, I can't go until I've seen you.

All right.

Well...

I don't know that I

should even show you this

but I want you to know that she's okay.

You need to let me talk to her.

I can't do that. You know I can't do that.

- 'Cause you're not paid to do that?

- No, I'm not paid to do this.

I am sticking my neck out as it is,

showing you that video.

Great, thank you so much.

Now, I'm going to tell you something.

I don't know how long it's going to take

to find Khalid but I do know this,

that you have to lead the life

that you have now.

You have to live it.

I'm sticking around here tonight.

I can help you tidy up your apartment.

I don't want you to help me

tidy up my apartment.

You need to put one foot

in front of the other and...

I can't do that right now, okay?

You have to live, now.

- I'm helping you.

- Take this.

- I am helping you.

- You're not helping me.

Stop talking to me

like I'm a f***ing kid, okay?

Stop acting like a f***ing kid, okay?

You know what? Get out!

Just leave.

She doesn't seem to be here.

Okay.

Please leave a message after the tone.

I'll be back in one minute.

Sh*t.

Hey!

B*tch, come here!

I didn't show you this one.

Mina, we know that Khalid

raped your mother.

She said it was a one-night stand in Yemen.

She was trying to protect you.

Look, we... We didn't

want to have to tell...

We didn't expect this to...

You're his only heir

and he wants you back.

I think I'm going to be sick.

He's a psychopath and something

about you just makes him crazier.

But that was really unlike him

to take these risks.

I'm sorry, do you want to use my bathroom?

What are you suggesting?

Apparently

we've got a mole in this department.

They found her sister tonight, too.

Jesus. Is she okay?

Yeah, she's fine, but this time

they weren't shooting tranquillisers.

I mean, imagine,

if he did find her,

she'd lead us straight to him.

How's my sister?

She's fine. She...

We're just going to keep moving

from place to place

until you catch him, right?
