MAX: I had an operative shot in the head
this morning at point-blank range.
Maybe not another coincidence. ISIS doesn't usually go in
for clean assassinations like that.
It's like they were trained by another entity.
Got a light?
SAMHURES: The ship has departed,
and is en route to Marseille to meet you
and head to America.
The Djinn Al Raqqah confirms she's still in Paris
with the British woman.
Tell everyone I will be back at the ship by tomorrow night.
Are you hoping to see some old friends?
I just haven't been here in years.
Adilah, this insanity has to stop.
IMOGEN: I know who he is.
ADILAH: It's not what you think.
(GUNSHOTS)
EMIR: The explosive device is secure on board,
and soon we will depart for the US harbour.
(IN FRENCH)
(IN ENGLISH) We received fresh intelligence.
There is a ship.
It contains some kind of device
that will be detonated in a US harbour.
We know it's being organised by a terrorist cell.
They are using names that are taken from
The Book of Surprises.
IMOGEN: She showed me that book in Istanbul.
It's like she wants me to figure it out.
I'll continue to promise protection
for her and her daughter,
and I'll concentrate my investigation
on getting her to tell me the name of the ship.

Okay, I know this apartment is bugged
by both the CIA and the DGSE,
so if any of the night shift are still awake,
the target is gone.
I repeat, somehow the target is gone.
(SNIFFS)
(CONTINUES SNIFFING)
Yeah. Hello, I don't know who was in here,
but there's a horrible odour in my room.
Yeah.
All right, thank you.
(SNIFFS)
(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)
Yeah.
How the fuck?
We got ten million dollars' worth of surveillance equipment.
Seven operatives surrounding a single apartment building
with one way in, and one way out.
How the fuck!
(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)
Imogen, speak to me.
IMOGEN: Tell your people she's wearing
black jeans and a green jacket.
I know because they are my clothes
she's wearing, and I know what's missing
because I make it a point to be somewhat decent at my job.
MALIK: French and American surveillance
can confirm that a delivery driver
is the only person to have entered
and left the building in the last few hours.
That means he may still be in the building.
MALIK: Yeah, can you get eyes on him?
Copy that.
Okay, to whom it may concern
the guy who made the switch is still in the building.
I repeat, still on the ground floor,
but he won't be for long.
Same height as Adilah, same build.
He's wearing a grey overall.
This was a smart operation.
He entered as a delivery guy and will leave as a cleaner.
He's undoubtedly part of the terrorist cell.
Send back-up.
I don't care if it's the French or the Americans,
but give me five minutes alone with him.
Do you understand me?
(IN FRENCH)
(DOOR CLOSING)
(IN FRENCH)
(IN ENGLISH) What do you want?
IMOGEN: I imagine they'll call you soon
to make sure it all went as planned.
As soon as they do, this will track their location.
I can answer the call
and we'll find out who you're working for,
and I would imagine you'll be in deep shit.
Or...
you can just tell me where she went,
walk away, enjoy the rest of your day.
I don't want any trouble.
Where are you from?
Poland? Russia?

I'm going back to the apartment.
(SONG PLAYING INDISTINCTLY)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
Adilah...
the organisation, our commanders,
everyone thinks you've gone to the other side.
I don't want to, but it's hard for me not to.
Are you an informer for the British agent?
No, it's not true.
You can tell them that it's not true.
I'm only using her to find out what they know,
and I'm using her as a shield for protection.
She's working with the Americans.
If I don't stay with her
they will find me and they will capture me,
and we will not be able to go through with the plan.
I reminded them that
only you could've devised a plan like this.
But you have to prove you're dedicated.
You know what will happen to Yasmina if you fail?
They would kill her while you watch.
ADILAH: Emir, you promised me.
You promised that you would make sure
we were protected even after you leave this world,
if I do this.
I will still help you.
But you have to prove your loyalty.
She has to be killed,
and you have to do it.
Today.
It has to be on a busy street, like Montmartre.
Your grandfather Mohammed's house.
Meet her there at four o'clock.
Keep her busy until the crowd is full.
I will get you a knife and you will use it.
I will do everything you say.
I will take her there.
But please find someone else to use it.
All right.
I'll find a man to do it.
Thank you.
(EMIR EXHALES)
In a few days from now, I will be dust and bones,
and I want us to be wed.
To be one in the eyes of God.
I will be waiting with the imam.
I leave for Marseille later tonight.

MATTHEW: (IN ENGLISH) Sir.
Sir, you have zero jurisdiction here.
We are only here because we have intercepted
on the French police comms, which is illegal,
and we cannot let them know that.
It would be better all around, sir,
if we just got back in the car before they realise who we are.
Let the French police do what they do.
What the French police "do" is they do fucking nothing.
They let an incredibly dangerous target
just slip through their fingers.
She evaded our surveillance team, too, sir.
When we find her, we do it.
We do what we have to do.
No more fucking waiting and watching.
We do what we should have done right from the start.
We break some fucking rules and break some fucking bones.
(MOBILE PHONE VIBRATING)
I'm outside the surveillance. Do you have something?
Cesar has intercepted an email from the Americans to Langley
about a high-level emergency meeting today.
It's not at the Paris station.
They're ignoring all protocols,
so, it must be really serious.
I think they're trying to take this away from us.
I'll update you after the transmission.
No, I'm seeing that in real time.
It's too important.
I don't care if I'm the DGSE's best kept secret. I'm coming in.
No, no, no. I don't think it's a good idea.
I'll be there in an hour.
(SIGHS)
MAX: The head of the terrorist cell,
which we believe is planning
a major attack in the United States,
has escaped from our remote custody.
I want to be clear.
Her escape from our surveillance systems
is a direct consequence,
and is directly attributable to the French security services
and in part to the involvement of MI6.
A female British agent who is used
in very high-level sensitive situations,
very gifted at gaining the trust of people
but also known to be erratic and unpredictable.
On top of that,
she had a previous sexual relationship
with the French operative
who is Muslim of French-Algerian descent.
The British agent
had been given total control of the investigation,
and sole access to the target,
and as a result, the target has now flown
the rather insecure Anglo-French coop.
You were right, they're trying to take control.
MAX: The French police and security services
are conducting a nationwide search for the woman,
but I hold out very little hope.
CHIEF OF STAFF: We have information
that the plot involves a frigate,
allegedly carrying some kind of dirty bomb.
And based on the timeline,
we believe that it's leaving Europe
and headed for a port
on the East Coast of the United States.
We do not know the name of the ship,
or the exact location of embarkation.
We believe the ship will arrive on the East Coast
in the next two to three days.
"Next two days"? Jesus...
MAX: We believe the attack
will be on one of the top three ports,
New York and New Jersey,
Savannah and the Port of Virginia.
HOMELAND: They all have dense populations
for hundreds of miles around them.
Any of those harbours would have, on average,
between 18 and 22 cargo ships docking in any one day.
MAX: Forgive me, we're talking about
a needle in a fucking haystack here.
Any ideas how we find the needle?
We freeze all shipping in the Atlantic
and prevent all cargo ships from docking.
And the entire East Coast of the United States
ask "what the fuck?" A rumour gets out,
and before you know it, there will be chaos
beyond anything anyone could imagine.
I would like to suggest a course of action...
which is both illegal...
and some would say immoral,
but which I believe is our only chance
of preventing this attack in time.
We kidnap the target's daughter and use her as leverage
to apprehend and interrogate the target
using every tactic at our disposal.
CHIEF OF STAFF: Kidnapping a child
is not in anyone's playbook.
HOMELAND: With all due respect, madam,
we've done it before.
Max, I'm gonna need to hear from you
if there are any alternative options.
No, sir.
I can tell you unequivocally, there are no other options.
HOMELAND: Do what you need to do.
(CLICKS OFF)
(MAGRITTE IN FRENCH)
(IN ENGLISH) You know you can't do anything
with that information.
Promise me you won't do anything.
Don't talk to me about promises.
I promised her I would protect her and her daughter.
I failed.
That woman is a monster.
A murderer.
She's not your friend.
You see, it's not my job
to think of her as a monster...
or a saint.
It's my job to get her to tell me what she knows.
It's my job to save those people's lives.
And I failed in that, too.
The thing is, I know she would have told me.
I know it.
(INHALES) Bloody hell.
Damn fine pad you got here.
Friends in high places?
Yes, actually.
MAX: I was hoping you'd be coming with your girlfriend.
So listen, game's over.
I've gotten permission from my bosses
to terminate your services.
The French are in agreement.
We have a new strategy.
(SIGHS)
Come on, Max.
What the fuck?
(EXHALES)
Don't do it.
-Hey... -Please.
I know how hard it is to lose an assignment like this.
I do.
Especially with whatever...
I don't know, sins of the father.
It's not about that.
It's about the fact that it's not gonna work.
It didn't work, Imogen.
It hasn't worked,
and we're running out of fucking time.
I looked into your Russian proxy thing.
I got shit.
Thousands of American lives are still at risk,
and the only way out is Adilah El Idrissi.
Now...
if she happens to come by...
I know you'll contact me immediately, right?
(MOBILE PHONE VIBRATING)
(SIGHS) I don't work for you.
Everybody works for us.
Sooner or later.
Sometimes you just gotta fold.
You know how it is.
It's hard to let go sometimes.
Especially when you lose.
MAX: You came real close.
Real close.

WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Roger that.
Hurts my feelings a bit
when you run out on me like that.
Why are we here?
This is the truth of me.
What truth?
It's my grandfather's house.
This is who I was before everything happened.
I wish you could have known me then.
(SIGHS) I need to tell you something.
The Americans are tired
of our little game of hide-and-seek.
They're going to kidnap Yasmina
and use her as leverage to get you to talk,
but I can get her out somewhere safe.
I can get you new identities, and they will never find you.
We need to do it immediately.
(VOICE TREMBLING) What do you mean, kidnap her?
Where will they take her? They can't do that.
-She's just a child. -I know. I know. I know.
My people would kill Yasmina
if they think I betrayed them for the fucking Americans...
Believe me, I am aware of that.
That's what I'm telling you.
I can get you and Yasmina to England.
You have to travel separately and we have to go, now,
because the most dangerous place
for you, and your child is Paris right now.
-I can't. -Listen to me.
-I can't... -Listen.
If you let them take her, you will never see her again.
Even if you tell them everything you know,
they will never let you go back to a normal life
with your child,
and no country will take you.
You will lose her.
We have to go, now.
(WHISPERING) Please?
Please? You have to trust me.
(EXHALES)
(KNIFE CLICKS)
Fuck it.
(ADILAH SNIFFLES)
(EXHALES)
The woman saw me.
She had a gun. She took her.
The Djinn Al Raqqah will succeed.
Report that she has the detonator.
Once she surrenders,
we get them on the plane immediately,
-okay, and then... -(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Hold on a second.
I got a call from the surveillance team
around the girl.
MAX: I'll call you back.
They had them pinned in the apartment,
but they've heard no movement
or conversation inside for two hours.
And they did not see them leave the building.
They've broken into the apartment and it's empty.
It's evident that they've been extracted.
It's Imogen.
The woman will not fold.
We have to find her.
Yes, sir.

(IN ENGLISH) Hello.
(MAGRITTE IN FRENCH)
(IN ENGLISH) Okay.
(CREW SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
Thanks for the update. I have to go.
(IN ENGLISH) She's on her way to England.
I've made arrangements for her to meet us.
Working on the new identities and getting you out
of the country, somewhere safe.
They'll never find you.
She's doing fine.
She wanted an ice cream.
Thank you.
Listen...
you realise I'm the only person in the world
who knows where your child is.
You can't see her until you give me
the name and location of that ship.
(SCOFFS)
(SOFTLY) Oh, my God.
You are all the same.
You're all the same!
You're using my daughter now?
You're doing exactly what they were going to do.
If it wasn't for me,
you'd be in a cell right now being waterboarded.
I'm the only one who's protected,
defended and fought for you.
I've saved your arse over and over,
and I have had to save my own three times this week.
So the least you could do
is be fucking honest with me and tell me what you know.
Why would I be honest with you or tell you anything
before I see my daughter with my own eyes?
(EXCLAIMING) Shut up.
My own eyes!
Just shut up.
Please.
"My daughter, my daughter, my daughter..."
Do... do you think
you're the only woman in the entire world
who has ever loved a child and can't be with them?
Do you think you're the only person in life
to have experienced this?
I have an idea.
Why don't you try not becoming a terrorist
and see if that improves your parenting skills?
What the fuck would you know about being a mother?
Everything!
(SOFTLY) Everything.
(MUTTERING INDISTINCTLY)
(NORMAL VOICE) Never mind, I forgot...
I forgot you're the only person to have ever experienced pain.
(SCOFFS, LAUGHS) Who's...
Who's ever felt loss.
The only one.
You know, millions of people have shitty lives
and shitty opportunities,
and they do not join a terrorist group
and plan an attack to kill thousands of people.
I don't know why I haven't just turned you in
and let them cause you so much pain
you beg for mercy.
I don't know why I haven't just handed you over
and let them break you.
I don't care about you.
You're nothing to me.
You are nothing to me!
You're a woman with a child who loves you and needs you,
and you are choosing to throw all of that away.
I had no choice.
You're choosing "this" over her.
I had no fucking choice!
And that is something you will never understand, Imogen.
Because your life has been full of choices.
You chose the life you lead now. I did not.
You jumped off a cliff and joined them.
Remember?
No one pushed you.
And don't you dare pretend to know what my life has been.
Right.
(CHUCKLES WRYLY)
Because it was so sad, wasn't it?
Because Mommy left and Daddy left
and you were all alone
when you went to Oxford and fell in love
-with a handsome man... -Oh, fuck off.
...who gave you the opportunity to become this glamorous spy.
Now, fuck off!
Was that sad for you, Imogen?
Tell me, does it make you feel less lonely
to be the daring white heroine
who gets to save the world
from destruction and evil monsters like me?
Who said you get to decide what is good and what is evil?
Because there are millions of people, families,
including mine,
who have been murdered, displaced,
our lands occupied, colonised,
our mosques desecrated.
Our homes and hopes are destroyed
like they're nothing.
Oh, but it's only a tragedy when it happens on your lands,
to your people.
We're just collateral damage, aren't we?
Aren't we?
Do you think what you're planning will solve this?
Do you?
Or is it a way out for you and your child?
Please tell me.
Please.
The reason you are with me is because we are the same,
you and I.
We are the same.
Because if killing thousands of people...
helped bring your father back,
or your mother,
or your baby...
then you might think of doing exactly the same thing,
and that scares you to death.
(FOOTSTEPS LEAVING)
(ENGINE STARTS)
MAN: Can you remember her face?
I know what you were gonna do today,
and I know you did not want to kill me.
So I'm going to choose to believe
that you're not a monster
and that you are a human being,
and you're gonna do the right thing,
and you're gonna choose
whether or not to get in that car.
So,
what's it gonna be?
