Air and naval forces of the United States...
Launched a series of strikes against terrorist fac/iities...
Pan am flight 703 crashed into the town of I ockerbie.
He has sanctioned acts of terror in Africa, Europe and the middle east.
This will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait.
His relentless pursuit of terror.
- We w/I/ make no distinction— - the u.S.S. Cole was attacked while refueling...
This was an act of terrorism.
It was a despicable and cowardly act.
The next number we're gonna play for you is one of the good ol' favorites.
Until something stops him.
/—/'m just making sure we don't get hit again.
We got a plane crashed into the world trade center.
Thousands of people running...
We must, and we will,
remain vigilant at home and abroad.
What the fuck are you doing?
Fuck! I missed something once before.
I won't— I can't let that happen again.
It was 70 years ago. Everyone missed something that day.
Yeah, everyone is not me.
Once you've gotten to this position.
Previously on homeland.
An American prisoner of war has been turned.
That's one interpretation, but that's all it is at the moment.
Jessica 7
it's me. Brody.
If he is a terrorist, we need eyes and ears on Brody...
From the minute he steps off that plane.
Out of the question.
The terrorists are still out there.
We need Brody in the public eye...
Reminding america that this is far from over.
What if he's not up for it... Psychologically?
Just a couple questions, sergeant Brody.
You got 10 seconds to get off my property.
The...
The brass sent you over here to turn me into some fucking poster boy...
For their bullshit war.
Abu nazir?
Was he ever present during any of your interrogations?
No.
You are the only agency asset to have had eyes on nazir in seven years.
You know that they stone women like me to death...
If we get caught doing anything that we 're not supposed to?
I won't let anything happen to you.
So abu nazir's resurfacing...
Just as Brody has miraculously returned home means nothing?
Dots are there, Carrie, but you haven't connected 'em yet.
Wait, there's no camera in the garage?
Jesus Christ, Virgil.
Allahu akbar.
Mmm.
Ah, emir. Shh.
Mmm.
Stay there.
What are you doing?
Nothing, emir. I'm just getting dressed.
Oh, it's beautiful, emir.
You're beautiful.
I'd I/ke to swap out this couch, please.
And the painting. Something a little less motel 6.
I'll do what I did for the mccain 2009 interview. Highest ratings ever.
You know, I missed that one.
I was out of the country.
Of course.
Okay.
Oh, shit. Carrie, would you get in here?
What is it?
It's a crew member from the network.
They're about to move the couch where we have a contact Mike mounted to the baseboard.
Holy mother of fuck.
Okay, wait a second. Wait a second.
Can— can you put that down?
And can we get the painting back on the wall, where it belongs?
We'll stick with motel 6, I think. Just do it.
We agreed to an interview, not a home invasion.
Sergeant Brody, / apologize...
All right, I'm going to be late for my briefing.
Let me know who wins.
Look. We're broadcasting a special here in two days...
The homecoming of an American hero.
I know what the audience wants. You need to trust me. No, I don't.
Okay. Keep the couch. It's great.
Let's just— let's have you take a seat right there, please.
All right. We'll have them all on the couch.
Theybackatfl? Lookshke.
She has no idea who she's dealing with.
I had no idea he had such, uh, strong feelings about home decor.
It's probably the only thing to him that seems the same.
I kept everything exactly the same the whole time he was gone.
Not everything.
I'm not gonna do this interview.
It's a complete joke. They're trying to make us into some perfect family.
You are the perfect family.
No, we're not.
Well, not you maybe, but the rest of 'em.
Your brother's a boy scout, literally.
Your mother— she's got this whole milf thing going.
And your father? I mean, sergeant Brody? He's a hero.
Yeah, he is.
So leave the rest of us out of it.
Okay, suggestion, if I may.
Do the interview, right? But do something crazy.
Like what? Light my hair on fire?
Wear a burka.
Every time the interviewer asks a question, tell him to go shut the fuck up.
Anmnm.
Look. The whole country will be watching, right?
And you can say whatever you want.
Tell the truth.
The truth would be interesting.
Intelligence work has led us to this man,
prince farid bin abbud,
also known to his friends as Freddie.
We've spent years chasing rumors that the prince funded terrorists,
but we've never had proof until a meeting between the prince and abu nazir...
Was videotaped by this woman, lynne Reed,
a CIA asset and member of the prince's personal retinue.
We're running a hooker?
If, by hooker, you mean someone who's out there risking her life...
While we're sitting around a conference table, then, yeah, we are.
I just received word from her...
That she successfully downloaded the prince's cell phone onto an ix chip.
I'll be retrieving it first thing tomorrow. Very good.
So, immediately after his meeting with abu nazir,
the prince came here to DC.
We believe the purpose of his visit...
Is to move funds to one of abu nazir's people here in the United States.
If we can flag the transfer, we can follow the money to nazir's operative.
The prince is a global guy.
He lives on that phone that lynne Reed just downloaded for us, so...
It should be a good place to start.
Questions.
You say you believe the prince is here...
For the purpose of transferring funds. Why?
Like I said, the timing of the trip...
Following on the heels of the prince's meeting with abu nazir in Cyprus.
My understanding is the prince comes to the United States every year about this time.
To top off his harem, not to fund terrorism.
Saul. What was that about?
It was a legitimate question.
So ask me off—line. Don't torpedo my briefing.
It was a question, Carrie, not an act of war.
Abu nazir's express goal is an attack on our country.
It's his holy grail. No one doubts that.
Well, half the reason I think abu nazir has something in the works now is Brody.
I can't talk about that. So let me see if I understand this.
You think when I ask you the same exact question I'd ask anyone else,
that really I'm just giving you a hard time, is that it?
Got a meeting to get to.
Dana.
- — Where were you? - With friends.
You missed the prep for the interview.
Yeah, that was kind of the point. Hey.
Sorry.
Can I go?
No. Sure.
I didn't mean to confuse things.
So you know, she's always like this. It's not you.
You sure?
Ask her to do anything, and the attitude goes up like a wall.
I mean, she's obviously got a secret life going on out there.
Well, she's 16. Only 16.
No, I meant, didn't you have a secret life when you were that age?
Yeah, with you.
That was different.
You want me to try talking to her?
Please. Be my guest.
Ar
If I run into any trouble, I'll send up a flare.
I don't know. It's funny though, isn't it?
You actually went swimming.
I thought that was the idea.
So what exactly are you expecting to find on that?
These operations need money, right?
You think it's coming from farid?
He's certainly got enough of it.
So now we look for something out of the ordinary on the download you got us...
An electronic wire with odd routing,
a meeting he takes with someone new, outside his usual circle,
a transfer of money.
I'll know it when I see it.
And you're sure about this, about farid being part of an attack.
Pretty much, yeah.
Because I've been right beside him for over a year...
And all I've seen is a nice guy with a few sexual quirks.
He gave me this amazing necklace yesterday.
He didn't have to. He doesn't owe me.
I swear, it actually meant something to him.
I'm sure it did.
He's taking us all clubbing tonight to show off the new girls.
That's what his whole life is about— just having fun.
I know it must seem that way,
but the man you recorded him with, abu nazir...
You know he's the real deal.
We never would have been able to get this any other way.
You should feel really good about what you've done.
Well, I have downloaded his phone for you.
I'm done.
Me? Vvhataboutyou?
Uh, no. I'm never done.
Shouldn't you be getting ready for your interview?
They pushed it back a couple hours.
No. Are you nervous?
I was told Lawrence O'Donnell gives everyone a hard time except guys in uniform.
Chris, Dana, breakfast!
So you know, Chris is all about sugar in the morning, usually cocoa pebbles.
Dana doesn't touch breakfast. It's as if you're trying to poison her.
So what were you two talking about last night?
Huh? Lheakidanalaughmg. It's hard not to.
What was so funny? Oh. It was this video called YouTube.
Have you seen it? The dog talking about food?
No, not that one. I saw a cat that smokes.
It was really quite funny. Hey.
Want some? No, thanks.
I'll take some.
Thank you.
Looks good.
Lack of porn is a little surprising, given the prince's reputation.
You know, at your briefing yesterday,
I didn't mean anything calling your asset a... hooker.
Want to make it up to me? Find me evidence of a money transfer.
Start with the encrypted files. Really. It's important.
Saul.
I just picked up the download from lynne Reed.
Anything there? Crypto's processing it now.
Hopefully we'll know in a couple hours. Good. I got a meeting to go to.
Meeting to go to, sure.
How long are you gonna keep doing this? When are you gonna forgive me for screwing up?
I forgive you, Carrie. No, you don't.
I really don't want to get into this here.
I lied to you. It was wrong. I understand that.
Do you?
Good. Saul...
Everyone lies in this business. I accept that.
But we all draw a line somewhere.
And the two sides of that line are “us” and “them.”
And whatever we had, you and I, whatever trust we built up over a decade of me protecting you,
teaching you everything I know,
you destroyed it when you lied to me and you treated me like “them,”
like every other schmuck in this building.
When you say you understand, is that what you mean?
What was it like, hearing your liberators rolling in?
Well, they flew in, which I didn't know at the time.
I was in a pretty deep bunker, so I couldn't really hear what was going on.
Then I heard a massive firefight.
I knew there'd be casualties.
But at the moment the door to my bunker blew in,
I still didn't know which side had won.
Then a flashbang went off, which blinded me.
And I just braced for the end.
It took a while to work out what had really happened.
- — That you were free. - Yeah.
Sergeant Brody, your commanders showed us the results of your initial medical exam.
Yes.
There's a section, “scars and other identifying marks.”
It goes on for nearly two pages.
- You were beaten. - No.
Yes. Tortured.
That's right. To what end?
To what end? What did they want from you?
They want you to lose faith.
Lose faith in your country, which they say is the devil.
In your brother marines, who they say aren't coming for you...
Because you have no military value.
In your wife, who they say has got her arms wrapped around someone else.
How do you resist that?
You can't.
Except by believing that those people they want you to renounce,
that they're keeping the faith in you,
and you owe it to them to do the same.
Semper tide/is.
Yeah.
Welcome to gaucho taco. Ll/layl take your order?
Your father did his interview this morning.
Good. It is good, I think, to talk about it.
To 10 million people? You think that's good?
Okay.
I get that you don't want to do the interview with us.
I don't really think anybody wants to hear what it is I have to say.
Thank you for your order. Please pull forward to the window.
Welcome to gaucho taco. We'll be with you in a minute. What's good here?
Well, it's 59—cent tacos, mom. I'm sure it's all delicious.
Look, Dana. I know this is hard.
Your father was gone for eight years, and now he's back.
That's not it, mom.
He's back, and there's a camera crew at our house...
When what we really need is some privacy.
But that's his job now, to be a public figure.
And it's ourjob to be there for him. We owe him that.
Dana, I do listen.
I know you think it's phony— putting us up on stage— and you're not wrong.
Well, mom, it'd be a lot less phony if you weren't fucking his good friend Mike.
I'm not.
Oh, please, mom.
With your black sleazy thongs always drying in the bathroom,
him coming over to “help out.”
Do you really think I'm an idiot?
Dana, I thought he was dead. We all did.
But he's not, mom.
And he comes home... To this devoted wife,
and everyone is in on the secret except him.
Nice. Welcome home.
Dana.
Your father can never hear about any of this. It would really hurt him.
Him or you, ma?
Him, both of us, our entire family. Do you understand that?
Dana, I need you to promise.
Hello. Hi.
This must be Jessica and Dana.
That's right. It's my wife and my daughter.
I just stopped by to say hi before the family interview tomorrow.
Give us a chance to get acquainted.
So— good we're all here.
You're late. Yeah, sorry.
Where's Max?
He went home when the shift ended, like I should have.
Please tell me you found something.
Well, as a matter of fact, I did.
Hello. This must be Jessica and Dana.
Yes, my wife and my daughter.
I just stopped by to say hi before the fam/ly interview tomorrow
|s that— Lawrence O'Donnell, I know.
Here, watch this.
You know that family interview they're all getting ready for?
She knows. Dana does, about us.
I mean, how? We were so careful.
You said you had something. I thought you meant something big.
Well, this is big. No, I mean like a bomb.
Or a call from abu nazir.
I picked up the downlink from lynne Reed today,
and after all we went through, there's nothing on it.
Ineed to find something here.
Hey, aren't you the one who's always telling me to be patient?
I don't have time to be patient!
I have three weeks left, and we're sitting around watching this...
Whatever it is— This reality show.
Hey, have you eaten?
Inoficed there's some spaghetti in the cupboard.
It's only 10 years past its expiration date.
I'm sure it won't kill us.
All right.
J'j
So what do we do? Just wait for the prince?
That's right. You wait, and you look beautiful, and you try and enjoy yourself.
Think you can manage that? I can certainly try.
Here's a question. How do I get one of those?
Are you all right?
Yeah. Fine.
It's all yours.
J, »
Another bottle!
I know. Easy. Pace yourself.
We have all night. You have two years.
I'm not so sure about that one.
His highness says she reminds him of you when you first started.
His highness has a special favor to ask.
Ajob he wants you to do. A job?
He's meeting with a businessman tomorrow, a new acquaintance.
He'd like you to go there tonight and make the man feel welcome.
Make him feel welcome?
Emir said that?
He said he wishes to make a good impression.
Why didn't he tell me that himself?
The prince can be excruciatingly indirect in making his wishes known.
But for that, he has me.
Is there a problem?
No. No problem.
Good. Driver's waiting.
I need to freshen up first.
Hurry.
Hey.
You awake?
Brody, a lot's happened in eight years.
There's a lot we need to talk about.
I just want you to know that when you're ready, so am I.
Do you hear me?
Mm-hmm.
I want to try again.
Got any tomatoes?
In the crisper.
Any from this century?
Uh, I—in the cupboard, there might be a jar of something.
No.
Take yours off.
Please, take it off.
Let me. No.
It's better if you don't.
Heho.
Hey, it's lynne. Lynne, where are you?
I'm out. Uh, it's getting weird.
What do you mean? Did you find anything on that cell phone?
- — That transfer you were talking about? - No, not yet.
I think I may have found it.
The y just asked me to go entertain some new, uh, business acquaintance...
That the prince is meeting tomorrow.
Who? I don't know
it's somebody that he's trying to impress.
You sound worried.
Normally, we don't even talk to any man but the prince,
and they want me to go meet him now.
Uh, the backup— they're going to be able to follow me, right?
- What? — the people protecting me. Where are they?
Yeah, they'll be right behind you. Don't worry. We have your back.
Just keep your phone on. We'll be able to track you that way.
Okay.
Thank you.
Her protection? Where's your Van?
Lynne's about to meet the prince's new business partner.
She's a welcome gift. Carrie, what did you tell her?
You heard what I told her. What was I supposed to say?
No, estes didn't give you a protection detail?
Now, come on. We finally got a break.
I'm not seeing her phone.
Why isn't this working? I don't know. Hit “tracer.”
Since when did they make “r” street a one-way?
Okay, we've got her. Where's the map?
Just give it a second, will ya?
Okay. All right, she's still at the club.
.I', /' Lynne Reed?
Uh, where we going? Hay-Adams.
You been before? Many times.
Oh, careful. Thank you.
Nice hotel. Very nice.
So how did you get hooked up with these guys, may I ask?
Okay, I get it. None of my business. You're right.
It's just they paid cash, substantial tip in advance.
I mean substantial.
Wouldn't mind being on the permanent list is all.
All right. Well, take care of me, and I'll put in a good word for you.
Thank you. You're very kind.
Okay. Just leave me your card.
Which way are they going? We're nearly there.
Which way are they going? They're not going anywhere. She's not moving.
- — Where are they? - Behind the club. Turn there.
- — Do you think that's a good idea? - Turn there!
Shit.
Carrie. Carrie, wait!
Carrie!
Carrie, there is nothing to be done here, okay?
They made her.
Come on. We can't be seen.
Shit. Shit.
Shit.
Fuck.
Where's your father? Don't know.
Where's Dana? Don't know that either.
They drove off together about a half hour ago.
If she doesn't do the interview,
does that mean I don't get to do it either?
I mean, it's not that I don't appreciate all that she does.
It's just, you know, there are some things that I don't appreciate.
Yeah, so ignore 'em. Yeah, but it's...
I mean, it's stuff that I don't think anyone would appreciate.
I mean, it's stuff that I don't think you would appreciate.
What are you looking for? You'll see.
What are these? Historical artifacts.
Look.
You and mom. Mm-hmm.
Each padlock put here by couples who thought they'd stay together forever.
I wonder how many did. Not many, I bet.
Why are you even showing these to me?
Because it's never easy.
A lot of things can happen.
You know, when I went over to Afghanistan, you were in third grade.
Chris was about this size.
Your mom and I were almost still like newlyweds.
That's what I took over there with me.
You were in a play that year, the wackadoo zoo.
Oh, you were so good.
I can't believe that you remember that.
Honey, it's practically all I thought about for eight years.
It kept me alive.
But now I'm back.
You know, and all those things that kept me going, they've gone.
People have moved on. Things have changed.
And what's replaced it,
well, doesn't make any sense to me.
Not yet, at least.
You know, I'm kind of struggling for things to hold on to.
And your mom's struggling too.
You should cut her some slack.
We both should.
Yeah.
So...
Why... are you even doing this stupid interview then, if things don't make sense?
I don't know. Maybe just to keep the peace.
What are you gonna say?
Well, I'm not gonna lie.
But I'm not gonna tell the truth either.
I'm not gonna tell a bunch of total strangers what I just told you.
Hey.
Go ahead.
She was, um, D.O.A. at Providence.
Two rounds, point—blank.
Apparently, they had her wearing some crown Jewel type necklace that's, uh, vanished.
So local law enforcement is saying it's a robbery gone wrong.
That's good for us. Keeps us out of it.
You get anything off the prince's cell finally?
Yeah, it fits.
Saudis must have made her somehow, decided to take her out.
I want to talk to prince farid.
D.C. police already did.
I've got the interview if you want to see.
You okay?
This guy is a marine, right? I thought they were supposed to be on time.
Okay, that's good, Tim. I like that there. Keep that.
Come on. Let's go put on your nice clothes.
- Hey. - Hey.
You ready?
I'm gonna go change. Mike.
Uh, uh— uh, she was my employee,
uh, for nearly two years.
And this neck/ace, it was a present from you?
Yes. To your employee?
I'm told it was worth quite a lot of money.
She was worth a lot... to me.
She was a beautiful soul.
She would— she would ne ver hurt anybody.
So, wrpe that look off your face,
and you find out who did this to her.
Find out!
It continues in that vein.
I need to talk to farid. Not possible.
If you don't trust me, you're welcome to be in the room.
It's not gonna happen, Carrie. They're at the airport by now, heading back to the Gulf.
You let them leave?
If it makes a difference, state department made the call.
Said it wasn't worth antagonizing the Saudis.
Yeah, you mean she wasn't worth antagonizing them.
It hurts to lose an asset, Carrie.
I get that.
But she's gone, and abu nazir is still out there.
What we need now is a new way to find him.
I'm sitting in the home of marine sergeant Nicholas Brody,
his wife Jessica, and his two children, Chris and Dana.
A family that put a yellow ribbon on the tree for eight years...
While sergeant Brody was presumed dead in Iraq,
when, in fact, he was being held as a prisoner of war...
Under brutal conditions.
So, a lot of adjustments to make, I'm sure.
How has the homecoming been?
Well...
It's been great.
For all of us.
It's been really, really great to have him back.
And I hope it is for him too...
Coming home.
Carrie Mathison. Yeah, they called.
You police? State department.
Did anyone notify the family?
Yeah, they're here.
They are? Yeah. Drove all night from sandusky, Ohio.
Never been to DC. Before.
What did you tell them?
Nothing. It's all hush-hush.
They're not idiots though.
They know her so—called job was traveling with a Saudi prince.
I don't think there's any illusions what he was paying her for.
“She wasn't just some escort she worked for us.
She gave her life for this country. ”
That's what I wanted to say.
That's what any human being would say to these people...
That she was good, that we owed it to her to protect her.
But I—I could not say that.
I couldn't say that because it's a secret. I'm not allowed.
And I was thinking this is a fucked-up business.
This is a fucked—up business, and I...
No. Are you done?
No, I'm just gonna keep talking and talking,
so you can't say you have some meeting to go to,
or make up whatever other excuse you're gonna make up so you don't have to deal with me.
Carrie.
Everyone's left.
There's no meetings to go to.
She called me from the club...
10 minutes before she was killed.
She asked if I had protection on her, and I said yes.
What do you want me to say?
It matters? It doesn't matter?
Don't worry, it'll all be fine?
Just say something.
Because when you out me out, I'm all alone out here and I can't stand it.
They made your informant.
Killed her.
And I didn't stop them.
This transfer you had everybody looking for...
Neverhappened.
And now they're gone.
But the prince was so broken up about her. Really, really sad.
I—I can't believe he knew they were gonna kill her.
What made you think he was even involved?
The video of him with abu nazir that lynne Reed shot.
Which was what exactly?
Their conversation was benign, what little we could hear of it.
An exchange of pleasantries.
Nothing more.
Ll/laybe abu nazir really went on that boat to talk to someone else.
Someone in the prince's entourage.
Someone without his means?
If the prince wants to fund something, he's got the resources.
Not everybody does.
You're looking for a money transfer, right?
Transfer of money from a nomadic culture...
That has always known...
Jewelry is the easrest way to move wealth.
Tell me again about the necklace she was wearing.
500,000.
350.
400.
Where did the money go?
Could be anywhere.
Congratulations.
Not many young couples can manage their first home all cash.
Thank you.
I hope you'll be happy here.
I'm, uh— I'm sure we will be.
They say you get used to the noise.
We don't mind it.
I like being close to the airport.
For us, it's perfect.
