the morning light.

Amen.

(PARADE FANFARE PLAYING)

Oh goodness!

Everybody!

I bought you

something!

The parade is coming!

(ALL CHEERING)

KAYLEIGH:

It'll be fun!

SYRIAN BOY:

Oh, Lord, for the confetti's.

You have a day for me!

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

This guy's got to be

in a state of shock.

He planned on waking up

in Paradise with 72 virgins.

Blow yourself up to get laid.

This has got to be some crazy sh*t.

Where I grew up, the Klan burned crosses

in front of people's houses

and called it "Christianity."

And then my daddy

and the folks from the church

would drive over and put 'em out.

Seems every religion

has more than one face.

How you doin'?

Okay, I think I know.

You wish you were dead,

don't ya?

You wish you'd been successful?

I've killed dozens of infidels.

But you're still alive.

And you don't strike me

as a coward.

Of course I'm not a coward.

Well, some people are going

to think you lost your nerve.

I didn't.

You know, tomorrow's newspaper

is going to have your face on the front page

with a story about you being captured

and helping the police.

- That's a lie.

- You survived the blast.

You fell into enemy hands.

I don't think it is a lie.

Who do you think's

gonna have to pay for your failure?

So I'm guessing it'll be

your cousin, Hussein.

He's the one that got you

into all this, right?

Don't be surprised, Ziyad.

We know everything about you...

family, friends...

work, phone records.

We even know

what you listen to on your iPod.

Leave me alone.

There is a way out.

But you're gonna have to

give us some information.

Nobody knows you're alive.

If you answer my questions,

tomorrow's headline could

tell the world that you're dead.

Why should Hussein suffer for this?

Why should everyone

think you're a coward?

Come on, Ziyad.

You talk now or talk later.

The only difference is the story

that everybody's gonna hear about you.

Everything all right, brother?

Have faith.

And stay close.

No, no, no!

No, no, no.

Stay down.

Wait, wait, wait.

Now! Go, go!

- Sh...

- No, no, no, no. Wait, wait.

Come on! Come on!

All I know is I was supposed

to go to America, not Spain.

Nathir was sending a whole bunch of us.

And how many made it in the U. S?

I don't know... 30, 40.

Maybe more.

They were handing out

student visas.

And that's all l...

Nice work.

The confession we got in Spain was clear.

Now, the only reason Ziyad Hamzi

didn't make it into the United States

is because his student visa

was rejected.
