of his green card...

but I can't find a copy...

- of his passport anywhere.

- Under my name.

Who is this man

you're going to see?

He's a friend from college.

He works for a senator.

Like jasmine.

Do you sell what you paint?

Some.

I'm getting better.

No.

Those are just drafts.

That's you?

Mm-hmm.

And them?

My brother and grandma.

This is your mother?

She was beautiful.

You are the beautiful one.

You and your brother

have the same eyes.

Where's he now?

Does he visit you?

No.

Not anymore.

Are you hungry?

Come, let's go to the kitchen.

Saeed.

Ah, Douglas.

I thought today

you might not come.

Yeah.

- Do you want a cigar?

- No, thank you.

Tea?

Uh, please. Yeah.

Do you guys have anything yet?

Not yet. You?

No.

I got it.

You know, you have

a new detainee on the way.

Egyptian...

lives in America.

He's a chemical engineer.

Yeah, I got

the cable last night.

- Who's observing?

- Me.

You're not a case officer,

Douglas.

Nope.

Maybe I can

finally use my gun.

We've got 58 percent approval

after your statement.

There's no reason

for him to hide.

It's not the bill

he's concerned about.

- It's the attachment, Alan.

- I know.

- Okay, there's a compromise here.

- Yeah. Obviously.

This bill's gonna get crushed

in committee...

if you guys

don't get behind it.

Yeah?

Um, damn. I got to go.

I'll talk to the senator.

Thank you. Thank him.

Izzy, you're here.

Um...God, look at you.

You didn't tell me you're,

like, a hundred months pregnant.

Thank you for seeing me, Alan.

Yeah.

Well, let's get you off

your feet, all right?

Okay. Yeah.

You look

like you're about to pop.

Uh, something to drink?

Eat? Eat?

Uh, no. Just a bottle of water

would be great...

- if you have that

- Sam, can we get

a couple of bottles of water?

- Sam, Izzy. Izzy, Sam.

- Hi.

- We got Senator Lewis.

- Bravo.

Right. Am I walkin' too fast?

No, no, no.

I'll get there eventually.

Okay.

You've done well for yourself.

I always knew you would.

Thank you.

So, uh, you married Anwar.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

What'd your father

say about that?

I'm sure you can imagine.

Yeah.

Thought about inviting you

to the wedding.

I probably

wouldn't have come.

I--l, um, brought some things

that I thought might be helpful.

This is a copy

of his Egyptian passport...

- Listen, Izzy.

- and his green card.

My guy at INS,

he got back to me...

and he assures me that Anwar

never entered the United States.

- The South Africans made a mistake.

- I need you...

to take a look at this.

This is a copy of his

most recent credit card charges.

He spent $70 on duty free

during his flight to D.C.

He was on that plane, Alan.
