Homeland Page #6

I'm assuming there's a point to all this, Carrie? There is, sir.

As you know, the first 72 hours after a soldier's capture are critical.

What he knows can be used by the enemy during that period to devastating effect.

The point is Sergeant Brody stopped being a source of actionable intelligence fairly quickly, and yet he was kept alive for eight more years.

I'd like to ask him if he knows why.

I often wondered that myself.

Who was your interrogator? An Al Qaeda commander.

His name was Zayadi.

Zayadi? That's what he told me his name was, anyway.

Was this him? No.

But you know who this man is.

Of course.

Every Marine in country was briefed on high-value targets.

Did you ever meet him? Abu Nazir? Was he ever present during any of your interrogations? No.

Look again.

Sergeant Brody? No, I never met him.

What-what what about Walker? Did he ever mention Abu Nazir? No.

You sure? Carrie, how many times does the man have to answer the question? It's just, I'm just a little surprised, sir.

Abu Nazir was in charge of coordinating attacks against coalition forces at the time.

No one had more reason to sit down with the only two American P.

O.

W.

's in his custody.

Well, apparently, he didn't.

Is there anything else, Carrie? No, sir, that's it.

Thank you, Sergeant Brody.

Thank you.

Moving on, Sergeant Brody, I'd like to turn your attention to anything you may have witnessed or overheard when in captivity.

Remember Mrs.

Base? The math teacher? Yeah.

Yeah, she was, like, my least-favorite teacher of all time.

She's so annoying.

Hey, can you guys come in here a second? Hey, I need help getting ready for tonight.

What's tonight? Some of your father's buddies from Bravo Company are coming over for a barbecue.

There's a bag of corn that needs to be shucked, and the grill needs to be cleaned.

I'll do the corn.

So, do I have to be here? Why is everything always a problem with you? I was just asking a question.

I know things haven't been easy between you and me.

But we all have to find a way to be there for each other now, okay? Yeah, okay.

Clean the grill.

Hello? Hey, Jess.

Hey.

How did it go? I'm actually still here at Langley.

I'm stuck in this debrief, and it's taking a little longer than I expected.

How much longer? Oh, only an hour or two maybe.

Well, don't forget, everybody's coming at 5:00.

Sure.

I won't be late.

Okay.

Bye, honey.

Sergeant Brody you're a man who's endured a terrible ordeal.

Thank you, Mr.

Vice President.

Anything? As a matter of fact, yeah.

Brody just lied to his wife.

- Tell me.

- Max is tailing his town car.

Brody just said he was still at Langley, but he told his driver to drop him off at Bluemont Park.
