Homeland

Previously on Homeland...

Conlin just called

to ask why the hell you were harassing his informant.

I disobeyed the judge's order. There is no more plea offer.

I could be 40 years old before I get outta here!

I will find a way to fix this. I need the transcript of a call

placed between these two numbers within 24 hours of this date.

You gotta push him to meet Hafiz.

I'm telling you, he flat out refused.

Delete the recording. - What do you want?

Sekou Bah cleared and released by tomorrow morning,

or this goes to the Attorney General.

Your main purpose here is to negotiate an illegal arms deal.

No. Now you've got the wrong man.

Then it's as we feared, a parallel program?

- (touchscreen clicks) Well...

it was complicated.

Where the hell are you?

About to cross into the West Bank, actually.

- Your crazy sister, huh? - I am in the neighborhood.

I gotta say, you picked an odd time for it.

It appears Iran is violating the nuclear agreement.

The evidence is more than credible.

Saul calls it conclusive.

He used that word, "conclusive"?

According to Mr. Adal, he did.

So you didn't actually see the report yourself.

- Saul. - (chuckles)

Been too long.

The first revolution

is when you change your mind about how you look at things

and see there might be another way to look at it

that you have not been shown.

NYPD!

The brutality against protesters,

the para-militarization of law enforcement.

That's why we have to keep trying.

We don't need a police state in this country

to fight terrorism.

We need a new strategy.

The revolution will not be televised.

The system of indefinite detention...

FBI and the CIA targeting Muslim communities...

DeMARCO: Security. Got an agitated non-compliant patient.

- Get away from me! - What's his name again?

- Peter Quinn. - Peter Quinn.

You will not be able to stay home, brother.

You will not be able to plug in, turn on, and cop out.

It's a very alarming charge.

The Russians hacked our committees.

The continuation of endless war.

Can't you get that through your fucking skull?

The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.

The US continues to engage

in a covert war with very, very high stakes.

I made promises and didn't keep them.

This world began right after 9/11.

The revolution will not be televised,

not be televised.

There will be no rerun, brothers and sisters.

The revolution will be live.

Which agency?

McCULLOUGH: I can't say that here in an open hearing, sir.

You saved me.

Yes.

Why?

What's going on?

What the... What are you doing? Easy!

- (grunts) - Take it fuckin' easy!

- (speaks Arabic) - What are you doing?

Seeing if you are the right man.

Sekou! Sekou! How does it feel to be free?

- Sekou, why did they let you go? - Sekou, is it true you were

- recruited by ISIS? - Mr. Hashem, why did the FBI

drop the charges? Did you do a deal?

We have no comment at this time.

Sekou, what were the terms of your release?

What do you say to your social media profile?

Did you provide names of other radicals?

Does your family know you're free?

Sekou, is it true your father radicalized you?

Come on, Reda. Were you surprised the Feds let him go?

Not at all. There was no merit to the charges.

This outcome confirms what we've been saying all along

about this and other predatory prosecutions.

They are sham cases only meant to convince the public

that the FBI is keeping them safe.

(reporters resume shouting at once)

- (car horn honks) - Does his family know he's free?

Will somebody please tell me what just happened?

You got out.

- I can see that. But... - You got out on one condition.

- What? - No press, no interviews.

- We keep our mouths shut. - Why?

Because that's the deal.

The US Attorney will make a statement

that there was insufficient evidence

to bring an indictment. Can you live with that?

I'm out, aren't I?

You'll wanna take the first question from John Mansfield.

Front row, second seat on your left.

- Why? - Because he's from the Post,

and if you call on anyone else, the first question'll be about

what the Times just put up online.

Show me.

"According to sources at the CIA,

there's growing concern among career intelligence officers

that President-elect Keane is willfully disregarding warnings

that Iran is violating the terms of the nuclear deal."

Christ.

It gets worse. "These same sources report that even after

classified briefings on the subject, Ms. Keane seems

determined to take a more accommodating approach

towards suspected state sponsors of terrorism."

- It's an ambush. - Yeah, and perfectly timed...

Just ten minutes before our daily presser.

(indistinct conversations in distance)

I can buy you a few minutes

if you wanna get your head together.

Yeah. Do that.

Madame President-elect...

So that's what you think I'm going to do.

- Excuse me? - Accommodate terrorism

- and the states that sponsor it. - So you've seen the Times.

I will not have my agenda mischaracterized and undermined

before I even take office.

My deepest apologies, on behalf of the entire...

I'm not interested in your apologies.

I want Saul Berenson's report on the Abu Dhabi operation

on my desk immediately.

I'm afraid that's not up to me. The President would have to...

I've spoken to the President. He and I agree.

There will be no rush to judgment on the Iran issue,

no reimposing of sanctions,

no Fifth Fleet steaming into the Straight of Hormuz.

And that's exactly what I intend to tell them in there.

If you think it's wise

to tie the President's hands so publicly...

What's not wise is peddling unverified

and politically motivated horseshit to the press.

And if you can't find me the "career officers" responsible,

I'll get someone who can.

(indistinct conversations in distance)

Surprise! - Oh!

- Oh! Sekou! - (laughter)

- Oh, my God. What... - Oh, my sweet boy!

- Oh, Mom! - Ah! I thought I'd lost you.

- No, no, no, Mom, I'm home. - (sighs deeply)

- I didn't do anything wrong. - I know. I know, I know.

- Thank you. Thank you so much. - (chuckles)

(indistinct conversations, laughter)

You seem less than pleased.

No. No, it's good. It's a...

it's a happy ending.

(Segun Adewale's "Ojo Je" playing on stereo)

I'm just wondering how the hell you pulled it off.

It's better you don't know. Trust me.

As long as this doesn't come back and bite us in the ass.

- It won't. - Well, we're gonna be asked why

we're not bringing a civil suit, that's for sure,

why we're not sending a clear message to law enforcement.

Oh, I... I think they got the message.

Oh.

What about Sekou? Doesn't he deserve to be compensated?

Of course he does. But look at him.

He was facing 15 years, and now he's free.

This time, that's gonna have to be enough.

Don't you think we should've had this conversation

before you did the deal with Conlin?

- (cellphone vibrating) - (sighs)

(touchscreen clicks, cellphone bloops)

A win is a win, Reda. Can't we just leave it at that?

Maybe. This time.

But I can't keep working this way.

This isn't one of your missions in Pakistan or Germany, Carrie.

And Fair Trial is not a clandestine organization.

- I know. - We're a non-profit that

provides legal services and representation legally.

(indistinct conversations continue)

You made your point. It won't happen again.

Listen, um, something's come up. I-I gotta run.

Can you s... tell everyone I said goodbye?

Yeah. Sure.

(indistinct conversations and music continue in distance)

Mr. Hashem, you haven't eaten a thing. Here.

Don't mind if I do.
