Soup Sandwich Odyssey

-Where the hell are you going?

-Home.

Not on my phone! You'll get us both killed.

INDISTINCT SPEECH

Yeah, I can get you into SOC's mainframe,

but you're not going to find anything good there.

-They use data centres now.

-You know where SOC's data centre is?

-For the right price, I do.

Somebody there?

-You wanted me to find out about that cleric, Yusuf Qasim.

-That's him?

-What do you say to a terrorist?

-Where did he go?

Hey! Who are you? What do you want?

This programme contains some violent scenes

HEAVY BREATHING

She's dead?

Four men, American military, looking for you, trying to kill you.

-Why?

-I...

-Why?!

-Sorry, I don't know.

-Give it to me. Give it to me, I'll find out myself.

-What?

-The jump drive, give it to me!

-No...

-Give it to me now!

That is not going to happen!

-What are you doing?

-I'm calling home, just like you did.

Who knows? Maybe this time someone will answer. Your husband, maybe.

-LINE RINGS

-No, you don't want to do this.

Guess not.

Time to die.

My name is Harrison Walters.

You're following me. Why?

-No, we're not...following you.

-Listen, we just have some questions.

Questions? For me? Why?

Because you are Yusuf Qasim and you're supposed to be dead.

You are mistaken.

My name is Sunil Chhetri. I am an auto mechanic.

Must be a dangerous job.

You have the wrong man.

Listen, you knew my dad.

He was writing a story about Black Sands - you were his source.

Tell me your name again.

I'm Harrison Walters. My dad was Randall Walters.

I read about him in the paper. I'm sorry for your loss.

The papers got it wrong -

it wasn't an affair, it was about Odelle Ballard.

And my dad and I were working on a story about her

and we got too close,

so they killed him.

I need to know why.

I don't like it.

He's nervous, jumpy.

Hey, are you sure you don't want to give Rhys your access codes,

so you can stop being nervous about you being nervous?

You can stay out of the building,

keep clean.

-I can't trust him with that - no offence.

-None taken.

-Damn.

-Yeah, wait till you see it from the inside.

Wall-to-wall servers, literally hundreds of them.

How do we find the right one?

Ours will be centre-punched, in the middle.

Clear, clean and off-line.

RADIO CHATTER

-What the hell?

-Yes, they have security.

Patrol pattern, makes a loop every 18 minutes.

Gives us 17 minutes to freeze the video, get in and out.

Freeze time - piece of cake(!)

I don't remember you telling me about security guards,

as in actual people.

They'll never even know we were here.

Come on.

Ah!

There she is.

OK, you're up, big shot.

CAMERA WHIRRS

I thought you said you froze them?

Must be on a separate system.

They weren't supposed to have separate systems.

What do we do?

I'll take care of it.

-We-we need to leave.

-Too late. Already on tape, my nervous friend.

Relax. They'll only check the tape if they think someone's been here,

and they'll only think someone's been here

if they find out someone screwed with the system,

but they're not going to find that out because I'm good.

Now stop screwing around and finish with the damn access code.

HE CHUCKLES

-They've already seen y...

-HE SIGHS

Moron.

-What the hell did you just do?

-I took care of it.

What happened to "They'll never know we were here"?

-Our faces are on that camera. Hey, can you erase those tapes?!

-Can you get Al Capone out of here?

-I can't concentrate.

-OK, go to the woods, we'll meet you there in five.

-You said this was going to be clean - in and out, no problems.

-Go.

Go.

Hello, Mr Decker.

HE DIALS

LINE RINGS

'Is Decker there?'

Yes, he is.

They're inside.

After that, you want me to kill them?

You were going to tell my father something. What was it?

Why are you labelled the Jack of Spades?

What does it all have to do with Odelle Ballard? I...

Look, I know you're interested in her -

you were at her funeral.

If you can tell me, maybe I can find out why they killed my father.

He's a soccer player, isn't he?

Sunil Chhetri, he plays for Nepal, right?

-How do you know that?

-I love soccer. Come on, you know that.

Your father was a good man.

He was trying to do the right thing.

But, no, I will not help you.

I have my life now -

it is a simple one.

My friends gave me this job,

a simple place to live.

How did you find me?

A picture from Odelle's funeral.

So stupid.

-I should have never gone.

-Why did you?

Yeah, you know, I used some facial recognition software

I got off Amazon. You weren't that hard to find.

I mean, that is if somebody's looking for you.

-So you were the one who found me?

-Yeah.

It wasn't that hard.

Of course, I...

I could make you disappear, too.

Wipe out that photo...any trace of it, just like that. Boom, gone.

That is if... If you help us.

OK.

One name.

I will give you one name, that is all.

But then I will never see you again, is that understood?

-Absolutely.

-Depends on the name.

Thomas Darnell.

Who's Thomas Darnell?

Diallo, my sweet, are my messages not clear? I'm in danger. I'm afraid.

I need to hear from you, please.

Are you still mad at me?

-What is this?

-We've waited long enough. It's not safe.

-You should come with us.

-But the reporter from The New York Times is coming.

The reporter will come, she'll see that we're not here,

-she'll meet us in Paris.

-Or...

I could tell the reporter myself, tell her all about you.

And we can make a tape.

You can tell her directly.

A tape she can take with her. No-one will be able to doubt that.

We'll make it like the terrorists, with today's newspaper.

-OK, but I really think you should come with us.

-I'm not afraid.

I'm a celebrity and my lover is my general.

He will protect me.

And now, if you'll excuse moi.

Where is your friend?

-What friend?

-Don't screw with me.

Give me the jump drive now.

Right now.

Once more, where's your friend?

GRUNTING

GRUNTING, SQUISHING

THUDDING, SQUISHING

Stop. Stop. Jenji, stop it! Stop it!

JENJI YELLS

You will never...

ever see me again.

Have a nice life.

My name's Sergeant Odelle Ballard,

serial number 913840090.

As you can see by the date, this is...

Well, it's now.

And, erm, contrary to what you may have heard,

I am very much alive.

Unfortunately, the rest of my unit is not,

having been killed by a drone.

Since then, I have been pursued by Osela,

killing many in their path as they hunt and try to kill me...

..and it's all because of what's on this.

See, this is proof of millions of dollars of payments

from a company called SOC to various terrorist groups,

including Al-Qaeda.

For what purpose, I don't know,

but I'm going to get this to you in your office in...

in Paris somehow.

Now, if you could...

show this to my family,

Erm, Ron...

Suzanne...

I know you th...

Come on. I know that you thought I was dead.

You even went to my funeral

and that must have been so horrible for you. And...

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for that pain.

But I am alive and I will continue to stay alive,

and I will get home to you somehow,

I promise.

And I love you very much.

He's in the hospital, Mom, the hospital! School can wait!

I know it's hard, but, Maya, you can't just leave... Peter?!

-I'm not a child any more, you can't tell me what to do.

-Hey!

-Excuse me! You come back here right now!

-He's in the hospital!

-I am sorry he's in the hosp...

-Dad, Cameron was attacked last night.

-Can you please help here?

-In his own apartment. He's in the hospital.

-..out of control.

Sorry, kiddo, I'm with your mum on this. School comes first.

You don't even care that he was attacked?

I hate you both.

Thank you.

DOOR CLOSES

You OK?

Suzanne, breakfast.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

-What are you doing?

-Nothing. I made you cinnamon rolls.

-What's wrong?

Oh, I was just... Lucy, you know, her fiance was in Mom's unit?

-She's coming over for lunch today.

-Do I have to come?

-Of course not. Only if you want to.

-Good. I don't.

Damn it.

Flight's on time.

You sure she's coming?

It's The New York Times.

They won't miss an opportunity like this. PHONE RINGS

Uh-huh.

It's Ballard. She made another call home. We've got her coordinates.

What do you think?

No.

This time, we wait.

She'll lead us to her.

Perhaps I'm not being clear, this is Shakir Khan.

In case you don't know who I am...

But this is a life and death emergency.

Can I at least speak to his lieutenant, Karim, please?

Karim?

Well, then, why...?

-Yes, I know, but...

-I will ask.

He will not speak to you directly.

LINE GOES DEAD

Did you speak to the general?

Yes, of course. He'll protect me. I told you not to worry.

There, you see, you're going to stay here with Shakir, it's safe.

But what will you do? How will you get out of Bamako?

-How will you get out of Africa?

-Aslam is right -

the desert is no place to be alone. Where will you take her?

Tienfala.

-Clever boy. My clever, clever boy.

-What? What's going on?

You'll find your way to Europe from Tienfala.

Aslam will take you there. Now you must go.

I have your tape. I will get to this New York Times reporter.

We'll get your story out, I promise.

And, you, my sweet, sweet boy...

..promise me you won't disappear from me this time, hmm?

You are my only family. You will protect yourself, hmm?

All right, big boy.

Now, last question, how will you get there?

When it's over, you will come back to see me, yes?

-GBR Industries.

-GBR Industries.

-I'm back.

-Can I help you?

-I need to see Mr Tennant...still.

-Do you have an appointment?

-Erm, no. That would still be a no.

Please...

tell him it's about Yusuf, Darnell and the Jack of Spades.

Can you repeat that for me?

Please. It's important.

Yusuf, Darnell and the Jack of Spades.

-Your name?

-Harrison Walters...still.

Good morning.

A Harrison Walters to see Mr Tennant.

He says it's about Yusuf, Darnell and the Jack of Spades.

-Would you like me to take a message?

-Oh...

OK. I'll send him up.

-30th floor.

-Yeah, I know. Thanks for your help.

'This better be good.'

Senator Thomas Darnell, your former boss,

what did he have to do with Black Sands?

Black Sands was a GBR project -

Tom Darnell was CEO at the time.

And what's he got to do with Yusuf Qasim?

What makes you think he has anything to do with a dead terrorist?

Yusuf?

You found him.

He's alive, isn't he?

He needs to know. You need to tell him...

that we did not double-cross him -

it was Amir Alamara -

-you tell him that.

-Who's Amir Alamara?

He'll know.

What about Senator Darnell?

How is he mixed up in all this?

Is it true?

Is Yusuf alive?

Tell me about Darnell.

You tell me about Yusuf and I'll tell you about Darnell.

Otherwise, this meeting is over.

What are you doing here? You look like crap.

-Can I come in?

-No.

Michelle, I'll be right back.

-What happened?

-What do you mean?

-Well, I don't know, Peter,

the last time I saw you, you asked me for Jenji's number

and now you show up on my doorstep looking like you've seen a ghost.

What happened, Joe, is that we got evidence, evidence that can bury SOC.

-Good, so use it.

-I can't,

-which is why I need your help. I...

-Why can't you use it?

I just need you to come forward with what you know, testify,

and then they can... They can subpoena SOC,

-find out what I've got and use it in court.

-Wait.

Why can't you use what you've got in court? What happened?

It didn't exactly go as planned.

How bad?

HE SIGHS

Jenji? Holy crap.

-We're this close.

-No, no, no. No, Peter. No, Peter.

If this is anything close to what I think it is, you need to go

home and wait for the cops. You're screwed.

-Joe? Joe? Joe?

-Stay away from me.

-Wait...

-See you in prison, Peter.

-Joe?

-Stay away.

SHE SINGS IN LOCAL LANGUAGE

'Why haven't you called me back?'

I'm scared, my general, so scared. Please come.

Please tell me you work for The New York Times.

-And who are you?

-I'm a reporter, just like you.

Well, maybe not The New York Times like you,

but I do have a show here in Bamako. Shakir Khan.

-Where is Odelle Ballard?

-She had to leave.

Some soldiers, American, have been chasing her.

-What soldiers?

-Oselas, here in Bamako, and they are killing people,

and are trying to track down Odelle to kill her.

You've seen them? The Oselas.

Well, no, not personally,

but it is the reason she had to leave.

I-I'm not lying!

She made a tape for you, for you to take with you.

Please, come to my apartment, it's just upstairs,

and I'll give it to you.

No, I think the better idea is for you to bring it to me...here.

Oh, of course.

You think that maybe I'm... I'll bring it right away.

SINGING CONTINUES

CAR DOOR CLOSES

DOOR OPENS

Peter?

Peter?

Oh, I wasn't feeling well,

so I decided to work from home for a bit.

-Where are you going?

-I'll be right back.

Amir Alamra, a storekeeper at Nabisco Manufacturing in Malaysia -

it's got to be him.

PHONE BUZZES

Anna, what's up?

-Harrison, you were supposed to meet us here.

-Er, where? "Us"?

What do you mean?

My friends from work, I wanted you to meet them.

You don't remember.

Right, what if it's not a name? What if it means something, the word?

-I think you're pronouncing it wrong.

-'Wait, who are you talking to?'

-I just don't think he said Alamra...

-'Let me guess,'

it's Bob. Harrison, this is getting pathetic.

-It's Amir Ul-Amara!

-I've got to go.

-It means "leader of leaders" in Arabic.

-PHONE BEEPS

Try "Leaders in Punjab Province, Pakistan 2010."

-Doing it. Already doing it. Done.

-OK.

Hello.

Is that...?

Yusuf was betrayed by Abdul Abbas?

-Why would a terrorist betray a terrorist?

-We've got to talk to him.

You mean, the guy who said he never wanted to see us again?

-The guy with the gun?

-We need to go.

You can stay here if you want to.

No, I'll go.

Maybe if he knows I wiped every trace of him from the Internet,

he won't shoot us.

It must be so much harder for you...

with everyone saying she might still be alive.

It must be good to have that over.

Well, I don't know that it is...

certainly not for Suzanne.

What?

I'm sure it's nothing.

-It has to do with Odelle's wedding ring.

-What about it?

OK, I'll tell you,

but you have to promise not to make too big a deal of it.

I'm sure there's an explanation.

Odelle and I had our wedding date engraved on our rings

when we got married, but on our honeymoon, Odelle discovered

that the jeweller had got the date wrong on hers.

It was one day off.

We always used to joke that we weren't really married

because it was the wrong date, but this morning,

I looked at Odelle's wedding ring...

The date is right. It's not her ring, they got it wrong.

I'm not sure it means anything.

-Maybe she changed it and just didn't tell you.

-Maybe.

Mom would never do that and you know it.

Molly!

Right, come on, what's in Tienfala?

Why was Shakir smiling when you told him about it?

Because it's so far, on the edge of the desert.

And...?

Luc is there.

He just tried to kill us!

Yes, but he's a drug smuggler.

He knows all the routes.

Then you can give your flash drive to the New York Times.

His routes take us all the way back to where I just came from -

I don't want to do that. I'm an American soldier, a white woman.

He's not going to protect me from the Ansar Dine,

-he'll probably try to sell me to them.

-So what's your idea?

To buy a plane ticket? Great, where's your passport?

Do you want to just keep making phone calls

until they catch you and kill you? No!

Luc is our only hope!

But the man wants me dead.

How am I going to convince him to try and help us?

It is up to you.

SHE SINGS IN HER OWN LANGUAGE

The next thing I'm going to do to you is take this

and press it against your windpipe until it breaks.

And you will suffocate -

a very, very painful, terrifying way to die.

This is your last chance.

Where did she go?

Tienfala... Tienfala, Tienfala...

If you're lying to me and she's not there,

I will be back

and I will kill you.

SHE SINGS IN HER OWN LANGUAGE

Mr Khan?

Oh, my God!

I'll get help.

DOOR OPENS

What are you doing home from school? Maya?

I'm going to ask you something

and I need you to be completely honest with me.

I saw Cameron at the hospital

and when I asked him what happened, who beat him up,

he told me to ask you.

Why would he do that?

Maya, I have no idea.

Do you honestly think your father

would be involved in something like that?

Having your boyfriend beat up? Seriously?

-So you don't know what he's talking about?

-No idea.

You're lying.

GUNSHOTS

Get down, get down! Stop the car.

Stay down, stay down.

Everywhere you go, people die,

but you don't. Why is that, huh?

Why do they always miss you?

-Get down!

-I will not miss.

Why did you come here?

Because you're all we've got...

and we need your help.

DOORBELL

-Yes?

-Mrs Decker, Detective Watkins.

-How are you? Is your husband home?

-Yes.

-What is this about?

-I'm sorry, I need to speak with him directly, ma'am.

Peter, the police are here to see you.

We were hoping to catch you home. Sorry to intrude.

-Not at all.

-How have you been?

-OK.

Working hard. But today, I'm home,

-trying to relax a bit.

-We're here on a homicide investigation.

Know him?

-No.

-You sure?

-Yes, I'm sure.

Why would you think I...?

His prints match the ones found in the van that killed Danny Gentry.

He was the driver.

And since your ID was used to rent the van...

We've been through this.

My ID was stolen, I had nothing to do with it.

I know.

Where was he found?

In a vacant lot off Wythe Avenue. Why?

-Just curious.

-And you're certain you don't know this man?

Never seen him before?

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Why are you wasting my time?

You were the one who wanted to know what was on it so badly,

you stole it from Aslam.

That was before. Now, I don't care any more.

The fact that an American company pays terrorists millions of dollars,

that's got to count for something,

surely a lot of something...

And I know you care about that.

All right, Yusuf Qasim, I found his name in the decrypted material.

What do you know about Yusuf Qasim?

Rumours that Qasim was set up by Abbas.

I thought that he was killed by Special Forces.

You see? Do you see why the drive is so valuable?

I can also see why they want to kill you for it.

Why they kill everyone you come into contact with.

Look, I know exactly what you're trying to do here,

but the money is not worth it.

You're in a war, a war I don't care about.

This is between you and them, so tomorrow morning,

you and that little thief are going to leave my house

and get as far away from me as possible.

Got it?

-It went bad.

-How bad?

About as bad as it could go.

It was self-defence.

THEY SPEAK GREEK

-Peter...

-It wasn't me. I was there.

They have cameras, fingerprints.

They have me.

Felony murder.

Why haven't I been arrested and why would SOC hide the body

-in some vacant lot in Brooklyn?

-It must be what you found.

-What did you get?

-I don't know, I didn't look.

-Why not?

Cos I saw someone get killed right in front of my eyes.

I had to get rid of the evidence, protect myself.

But that information IS your protection.

The fact that you have that evidence

is the only reason you're not in jail right now.

They're afraid. You need to hang onto it. Protect it with your life.

I have to go.

INAUDIBLE

He's not going to help us, is he?

No, he is not and he wants us to leave by the morning.

And I don't know where we are going to go.

Maybe back to Bamako.

I could try to get a passport, even though it's a risk.

Get on a plane and fly away from all this.

Your picture is everywhere from al-Jazeera photo.

And people who make fake passports work with Ansar Dine,

who are still looking for you.

And even if you were able to do that, what would happen to me?

And then we will talk about what you should do with me.

Hey, you.

Take it easy with this, OK?

It doesn't mean anything yet.

But you're not sure she's dead any more, are you?

I'll make some calls tomorrow, OK?

Now, get some sleep.

Yes!

'Hey, you've reached Sergeant Odelle Ballard.

'I'll be out of touch for the next few weeks, so leave me a message

'and I'll call you back as soon as I can.

'And if this is you, Suzy Q, I miss you

'and I'll be home before you know it. Mwah-mwah-mwah!'

Whoever is listening to this, whoever you are, guess what?

You screwed up! You got the ring wrong. We know she's alive.

What are you doing?

What's that in your hand?

Work.

What kind of work are you doing down here in the middle of the night?

And why does it involve washing a jump drive in the kitchen sink?

I can't tell you everything right now,

-but I've got it under control.

-Peter...

When Maya asked you earlier if you had anything to do

with Cameron getting attacked and you said no, were you telling the truth?

Yes.

I'm not sure I believe you.

Believe what you want, OK?

This is not good.

-Hey, what's going on?

-Nothing.

-Doesn't look like nothing.

Nothing to worry about, false tip.

-Anyone arrested?

-Not yet.

Someone must have tipped them off about Yusuf.

And I know who.

PHONE BUZZES

-Harrison, what's going on?

-I trusted you about Yusuf. How could you?

-What?

-To call the police!

I was this close to finding out who killed my father and you blew it.

You had no right to do that.

Hello?

-Hello?

-Yeah, I'm here.

-Harrison, he's a terrorist.

-See, you don't know that.

DOORBELL It doesn't matter what I know or don't know.

-According to the US Government, he's a terrorist.

-Harrison?

-Just...

-POUNDING AT DOOR

Harrison? Harrison, what's happening? Harrison?

-Harrison Walters?

-Yes?

-Homeland Security.

-What's going on?

-We found your prints in the home of a known terror suspect.

-What?

-You're under arrest.

-Where are you taking my son?

-Keep her back.

-Where are you taking my son?!

-You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say...

You can't just walk into our house and take our child!

-Harrison?!

-Harrison?!
