Homeland - Season 1 Edit

A ground assault is preferable, in terms of collateral damage.

A group of people who are almost never in the same place at the same time.

A long ass time ago.

A lot of what's happened lately, I'd kind of like to forget anyway.

About a bad man named Nazir...

About what I've done.

All of us here in this room

All right?

All right. Dinner's ready. Everybody sit down.

All right. We're clear.

All the defense leaders will be here at least two dozen high value targets.

All they're saying on the TV is how intense the security is.

Allahu Akbar.

Along with 82 of his madrassa classmates.

Amen.

And as a marine, I swore an oath...

And calling the New York Times.

And for God sakes, drink your champagne. It's Billecart Salmon.

And from my family.

And I don't even want to know about your involvement in it.

And I got hundreds of hits.

And I was subjected to long periods of total isolation.

And I'm a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps.

And it's clearly timed to show

And it's safe to leave the room.

And may you shine the light of your love on this family...

And members of his national security team...

And now you see it with your own eyes.

And our lives to thy service.

And our need to rededicate our efforts to the War on Terror.

And protect them always.

And she was saying all these things about you, and I just I had to hear your voice.

And so I wanted to explain myself...

And take the time left to offer good deeds and obedience.

And the elimination of insurgents.

And the Joint Chiefs of Staff...

And the way forward is clear.

And this is very hard to say, but your dad is working with Tom Walker.

And to rededicate myself and this nation

And two kids...

And vice versa.

And we've got a terrorist on the loose.

And whose murder is a stain on the soul of this nation.

And whose theory is that?

And you have the entire Homeland Security apparatus at your disposal.

And you need to stay away from me...

And you think this redacted file will help you to do that?

And you'll stay with us. The girls have fixed up a room for you.

And yours, Richard.

And, Jess, I'm sorry that I was short with you before.

Another fuckup.

Answer the damn question.

Any word out there?

Apparently, the vice president gave the order.

Apparently.

Are we on the same side?

Are you Benton?

As does this pledge:

As he prepares to give his remarks.

As if it's not enough that Tom Walker is running around out there with a gun.

As part of a two man sniper team serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom...

Assembled by a crazy woman into a crazy collage...

At least tell me that you're still looking into it...

At the C.I.A., Walden was widely credited...

At the very least...

B 15.

Back when I could still piss in a straight line.

Be good.

Became a key strategy in the C.I.A. 's fight

Because telling the world we killed 82 kids on purpose...

Because... your tone suggests otherwise.

Benton!

Berenson.

Bless this food to thy use...

Both foreign and domestic.

Brody, are you listening to me?

Brody, I

Brody?

Brody? For Christ's sake, Carrie. Not this again.

Brody.

Buddy, I told you. I got this event with the vice president.

Bullshit!

But he's only one guy...

But impossible in the time frame.

But the fact is we are not comfortable with a war

But to help me believe...

But tomorrow morning, when I announce my candidacy...

But we shouldn't kid ourselves.

But you were right about Nazir.

By the time you watch this...

Call Estes and...

Came out to fix the leak in the skylight.

Can I ask why you were even doing that?

Can I come inside?

Care to explain?

Carrie said something interesting.

Carrie, please, there's alternatives to this.

Carrie, we really should go now.

Carrie, what are you doing?

Carrie, you are working yourself up for nothing.

Carrie?

Carrie?

Carrie. Goddamn it, Carrie.

Carrie...

Carrie...

Chris, can you get the butter out of the fridge? Yeah.

Clench your teeth. Say the holy words.

Coercion, cruelty, outright torture.

Come on, Bruce Lee. You're gonna miss your bout.

Come on. What a fuckin' day.

Come on. You gotta back it out. Let's go.

Copy that.

Couple of Joint Chiefs, head of Defense Intelligence.

Cross referenced with Abu Nazir's likely locations around the time in question...

Dad, do you even know how to do it?

Dad, I really don't think you should go to this thing today.

Dad, promise me.

Dad, she said that you were working with Tom Walker, that that you're a terrorist.

Dad, you have to promise me.

Dad, you're scaring me.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Damn it, Carrie. You are starting to scare me.

Damn you, Saul.

Dana, I gotta call you back.

Dana, I'm here with a group of people. Look, I've gotta go.

Dana, listen to me.

Dana?

David Estes told me.

Dear God...

Degrading Al Qaeda militarily.

Did I ever once let anything lie?

Do not move!

Do what?

Do you mind if I join you?

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Does Mom know anything about any of this?

Don't be scared.

Don't let me forget.

Don't worry.

Don't worry. Everything's fine. Is that what you want to hear?

Don't worry. I can't stay long.

Elixir of the gods.

Even in private to me?

Ever. I didn't believe her at all.

Exactly I don't know.

Excellent! I can't feel my hands.

Expunged...

Eyewitnesses say the vice president and his supporters...

Falls within current matrix parameters.

Find a place to park this thing.

Find Walker.

Fine.

First of all, we don't have a terrorist on the loose.

First one in over seven years

Following an assassination attempt, they'll sequester the high value targets.

For both our sakes, take care of it.

For developing closer ties with the armed forces...

For old time's sake.

For some action that might have caused Abu Nazir to drop out of sight around that time.

For the last time, Carrie...

For this reason...

Forget about before. This is now.

Forget about the physical world...

Forget him.

From virtually every corner of the defense establishment...

Fun?

Getting some fresh air.

Give us, uh, five minutes?

Go do it.

Go on.

Go... away.

Goddamn it.

Good bye, Brody.

Good bye, Carrie.

Good God.

Good night, Isabel.

Good night.

Good to go.

Good to go.

Good to see you, Walt.

Good. Uh, great.

Gotta say, I'm impressed you had the balls to show up.

Great.

Great. You want to tell me what the hell we're doing here?

Half the government's gonna be in one spot...

Have you noticed how awkward it is having this conversation through the door?

He can do a lot of damage.

He goes silent, like he fell off the face of the Earth.

He has cost you almost everything.

He has intentions to kill the vice president and his staff.

He is going to kill them if we don't stop them.

He is with the vice president and other innocent people.

He sees you as the living, breathing vindication of everything he's ever done.

He tells you to get lost, and and now you're making up all this crazy shit.

He wants to talk to you.

He was just fishing...

He's all right. Just right behind us.

He's counting on me.

He's got big plans for you.

He's here.

He's planning on taking them all out.

He's putting them at risk, not us.

Hear, hear.

Hear, hear.

Her murder will not go unpunished.

Her name's Carrie Mathison.

Here goes. It's number O 72.

Here.

Hey, Mr. Berenson.

Hey, which one of you guys is Benton?

Hey, you.

Hey. Come on. Hey.

Hey. Come on. Hey.

Hi.

Hi. Um, I'm at 3319 Chapman, and it's it's an emergency.

His son died in a drone strike, northern Iraq.

Hmm. Smells good.

Hold them close...

Home now?

Honestly, I can think of a hundred reasons.

How about some advice? How about some fucking advice?

How are you, Carrie?

How do we spin this?

How long have you been standing there?

How on earth did I miss that?

How worried should we be?

I advise we wait, like the man said.

I am about to solve this fucking thing!

I am listening.

I am not what you think I am.

I am this fucking close...

I am.

I am. We're about projecting American power now...

I asked you to be our man on the ground there.

I call it "fuck the terrorists."

I can't know anything until I see what's under all those black lines.

I can't live like this anymore. It needs to stop.

I can't, Saul. I can't.

I converted to Islam.

I could reach out to some drone pilots.

I didn't say anything to anyone because I didn't want to upset you guys.

I don't answer to you, Tom, and I didn't come here to make excuses.

I don't care what it's called. They still attach electrodes to your skull, don't they?

I don't want to ever hear her name in this house again.

I feel responsible in a way.

I got a call for you from your daughter.

I guess.

I have a wife...

I have to.

I haven't seen her like this in a long time.

I I know. I'm here. Saul, you have to listen to me.

I I need you to do your job.

I I understand.

I I wouldn't have believed her, because you would never do anything like that, ever.

I just got there a lot quicker.

I know about your condition.

I know exactly where I am, sir.

I know I'm not wanted.

I know it's just us in this stupid van, but...

I know.

I like to hold on to things...

I love my country.

I made spaghetti Amatriciana.

I mean...

I meant about the vice president.

I need a demonstration of your commitment.

I need to do something. I can't take this anymore.

I need to get out of here.

I need you to say yes.

I need you too much right now to have you land in custody.

I need you.

I never knew we had views.

I promise.

I read that part of the blast goes upward. Toward here.

I said why are we here?

I saw him Brody.

I saw it happen. He wasn't shot. But, Dana, I need your help.

I stand before you today to officially announce...

I still think that you should stay here.

I think I can fake it.

I think I heard my car arrive.

I think it's a drone strike.

I thought that paper trail was burned.

I thought you said that'd be kicking in by now.

I told them that you'd need to rest, but not, you know, why, exactly.

I told you. There's a gap.

I want to believe what you are saying.

I want to do this thing.

I want to go for a drive.

I want you to start counting backwards from 100.

I was beaten...

I was brainwashed.

I was taken prisoner by forces loyal to Saddam Hussein.

I was tortured...

I won't run and hide, you understand?

I.D.'s?

I'd be able to influence policy at the highest levels.

I'd really rather talk about this conference...

I'll be fine.

I'll be standing in there with two cabinet secretaries...

I'll stay away from you. You have my word.

I'll take care of it.

I'm a sentimentalist.

I'm coming home, Dana.

I'm coming!

I'm feeling a little sick actually.

I'm getting dressed.

I'm gonna go see if Dana's doing better.

I'm grateful for the concern, but I just

I'm impressed you're alive.

I'm just a platoon sergeant.

I'm looking at a lot of distinguished faces here tonight.

I'm only suggesting that we change the venue.

I'm right here.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I can't do that.

I'm standing here because of him. I lost my job because of him.

I'm stuck here like some school crossing guard...

I'm surprised you're keeping it together at all.

I'm the same person I've always been, and I need you to be on my side now.

I'm trying to find out what happened yesterday, why.

I'm trying to stop it from happening again.

I've been better.

If Abu Nazir is taking refuge among children...

If you're asking me to call off tomorrow, you know the answer.

Improperly removed from this office...

In a single, small space.

In case you forgot.

Includes you, David.

Including the secretaries of defense and state...

Is Abu Nazir in the target area or not? We believe so.

Is against such domestic enemies

Is being hosted by the vice president.

Is everything okay, Ms. Mathison?

Is it true what you say?

Is that a course that the vice president would pursue as commander in chief?

Is there a men's room here? There better be.

Issa.

Issa.

Issa. Issa.

It has kicked in.

It hasn't been an unmitigated disaster.

It means I'm close...

It means, uh...

It might.

It shouldn't be too much longer, we'll have you all out of there.

It was my decision. I told them to go ahead.

It wasn't worth mentioning this drone strike?

It'll always be my job. Don't you get that?

It'll depend on you.

It's a bit excessive, isn't it? All this security?

It's a group worth protecting. That's my point.

It's a ritual.

It's about purifying your mind and body before presenting yourself to God.

It's actual marines Brody and Walker.

It's actually much harder to treat.

It's all redacted. What the hell am I looking at?

It's crazy what you did.

It's done.

It's here somewhere.

It's high purple.

It's not Cuckoo's Nest, Saul.

It's not his methodology.

It's not me that I'm worried about.

It's not one thing, Virgil. It's everything.

It's not too late to stop him. I told Dana she needs to call him.

It's okay.

It's only getting worse.

It's our joint opinion the potential collateral damage...

It's usually temporary.

Jess.

Just a little sting. How you feeling, honey?

Just going for a little drive, huh?

Just listen to me. This was

Just look at this.

Just so Estes can feel like his ass is covered.

Just tell me if I am.

Knock, knock.

Leave her out of this.

Let's go.

Like it never happened.

Like my father before me and his father before him.

Little heavy on the flowers, but they're very excited.

Longtime adviser Elizabeth Gaines.

Look around, Carrie.

Looking for Pre op.

Ma'am?

Makes for very unhappy viewing.

Marine One, Marine Two. I It's not the president's helicopter.

May I have your attention, please?

Maybe what happened yesterday was a good thing.

Mr. Berenson.

Mr. Vice President.

Mr. Vice President.

My action this day...

My God.

My intention to run for president of the United States...

My name is Nicholas Brody...

Name it.

Nazir, are you still there?

Nazir?

Nazir?

Nazir's son. Brody knew him.

Nervous?

Nicholas?

Nick. You look like shit.

Ninety five.

No cover up, no Carrie Mathison drummed out of the Agency.

No dead children...

No doubt you and David Estes have already huddled about this mess.

No one is going in or out.

No, all those guys

No, Dad, don't.

No, Dad, no. There was

No, don't go.

No, I mean about Brody.

No, I'm serious, Carrie. I have a van full of equipment, a lot of it not exactly legal.

No, it won't pass.

No, it's not crazy.

No, let's not raise flags. I'll follow up on it myself.

No, of course not.

No, you're not.

No! No! Dana!

No.

No.

No. I have a feeling that's the last thing we want to do.

None like this.

None of this would have happened.

Not to mention every American soldier on the ground.

Nothing. It's the anesthetic. Everyone does it.

Now come on. Let's go home.

Now, you want to tell me what happened yesterday?

Oh, come on.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, my God. Yeah? What?

Oh, not again.

Okay, Carrie. Look.

Okay, Mrs. Samler.

Okay, please. You don't understand what's going on, any of you!

Okay, we're ready.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. I deserve that.

Okay. Thanks. Hurry.

Okay. You have to call him and just talk him down.

On May 19, 2003...

Only nobody could figure out why.

Operation wasn't above my security clearance. It was off the books.

Or does your career on the coattails of the vice president

Or it was taken off after the fact.

Or step out on Mom, or beat the shit out of Mike.

Our little secret then?

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family...

Ow! Shit.

Paddles on.

People will say I was broken...

People will say that I was turned into a terrorist...

Please, just call him. You really don't want this happening.

Point of weakness.

Press mostly, but the vice president's office too.

Previously on Homeland.

Promise.

Promising to put America first again.

Put Nicholas on the phone.

Rat me out like that.

Really, I'm fascinated to know.

Remember Issa.

Remember when I used to call you that?

Remember, all of life's wasted time is behind you now.

Residents only.

Responsible for atrocities they were never held accountable for.

Right now, they're putting the vice president and his team out of sight...

Right under your nose.

Right?

Right.

Safe from what? We look like a bunch of idiots.

Saul Berenson found a redacted document that points to the mission.

Saul, do you think there's any chance that I could appeal my termination?

Saul, I've made up my mind.

Saul, you gotta get me in there.

Saul.

Saul.

Secret Service. I've been assigned to you for the day.

Secretary of Defense. Believe me, I know who you are.

Seeing you praying like that last night I think it kind of freaked me out.

Sergeant Brody called me. He told me everything.

Sergeant Brody.

Sergeant Brody.

Sergeant Brody.

Serves me right for buying two blocks from the State Department.

She came here and she says that dad is working with Tom Walker!

She says it's an emergency.

She thinks something bigger.

She wouldn't get it at all.

She's asleep.

She's bipolar. This explosion must have sent her into a flight.

She's never gonna set foot in Langley again.

She's not eating. She hasn't left her room in three days.

She's not gonna face any criminal charges, thank God.

She's unstable, and you need to contain her.

Sir.

Sniper attack

So I can announce the candidacy from some hiding place?

So I'm gonna sit here with you until you fall asleep.

So purify your soul.

So that you'll know the truth.

So we can stop him.

So whatever you decide...

So why are we here?

So you focus on the highest value target.

So you're coming home?

So you're not coming to my karate match?

So, there's gotta be all kinds of supporting documentation, yes?

So, we're agreed?

So, what are we looking for exactly?

So?

So...

Somebody actually came up with that language.

Something happened to him a tragedy.

Something that hit him personally, took him out of action for a while.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Sorry.

Sorry. Made a wrong turn.

Started around two years ago.

Stay Stay there.

Stay down!

Stay there.

Still jolt you into a seizure?

Sure.

Sure.

Taking a more militarized approach to intelligence gathering...

Taught to hate my country.

Tell me that.

Tell me. The The yellow? His period of dormancy?

Ten years old.

Thank you for convincing me three years ago to accept the nomination for vice president.

Thank you, Maggie.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for telling me.

Thanks. Yeah, really.

That came later.

That doesn't make sense for Abu Nazir.

That is what's coming!

That means this door will remain closed...

That puts me in a unique position.

That was the police.

That was two years ago.

That you won't give up looking.

That, you know, you were with...

That's all we can do.

That's all we can do.

That's exactly what I've been saying.

That's not even remotely funny.

That's protocol.

That's the weird thing. There's not.

That's what I'm thinking.

That's why Brody ratted me out 'cause I was getting too close.

The biggest recruitment tool since Abu Ghraib.

The end of our lives is preordained.

The hospital.

The man's running for Congress...

The most since the inauguration that's what they're saying.

The only thing that exists is this redacted document you found on the grid search.

The record's been wiped clean...

The reference number implies a drone strike.

The Schwartz backyard. Nice.

The sniper's apprehended...

The speech comes just days after a bombing in downtown Washington left five people dead...

The switch is here. Wait until the last second before you open it.

The turn's right up here.

The vice president is hosting a highly visible conference today.

The vice president will be joined by staunch supporters...

The vice president...

The vice president's expected to announce he's a candidate for president.

The woman that was hit, Elizabeth Gaines she is not the target.

The world changed, Saul...

Then say good bye, and tell Walker I need to speak with him privately.

Theory is there might have been some event that precipitated this

There are criminal charges pending. You shouldn't talk to him.

There is a bigger, pernicious, Abu Nazir worthy plot out there, and we have little time.

There is a wild card in this new play.

There is nothing left to think about.

There is security up the wazoo here.

There was this crazy woman at our house, the one that

There were a million calls while you were out.

There's There's an insane woman

There's a C.T. Officer named Benton.

There's a woman outside the building, one of ours.

There's an 11 month gap in Abu Nazir's activities.

There's no time, Saul.

There's something seriously wrong with this woman.

These are the kind of issues facing Vice President Walden this morning...

They are Marine One and Marine Two.

They are on it. We are not needed.

They asked me what I wanted to do about it the police did.

They have a terrorist on the loose, and it's their job to do something about it.

They hustled him right through the metal detectors along with the vice president.

They use ultra brief pulses now, and it's called electroconvulsive therapy.

They want to know if we want to press charges.

They're supposed to be safe there, but they're not. They're vulnerable.

They're thinking it's a single sniper.

They're working together. They are carrying out an attack right now.

They're working together. They must be. Saul, do you hear me?

Think about it.

Think some chicken soup would help?

This cannot get out.

This gap is it related to that wall of garbage we found in Carrie's apartment?

This is This is just stage one. The real attack has not come yet.

This is about justice for 82 children...

This is good.

This is nothing but a turd. Let it lie.

This is the anesthetic I was telling you about.

This is the depression that comes in the wake of the mania.

This man has poisoned your thoughts.

This reference number here.

This thing...

This way.

This will get you to the Secret Service. That'll connect you.

This will pass.

This woman is sick.

Those forces then sold me to an Al Qaeda commander, Abu Nazir...

To be there.

To both of us.

To defend the United States of America against enemies...

To picking up the phone...

To the fulfillment of the promise

To the next president of the United States, Tom.

Today, they'd have just replaced Walden with somebody else.

Tom Walker

Tom...

Took a break from doing bad things...

Took a break from doing bad things...

Trump national security?

Trust me, Saul.

Try to remember where you are, huh?

Two minutes.

Until my security clearance is restored. I know.

Until my security clearance is restored. I know.

Until one of two things happens.

Up ahead in that building he'll be surrounded by his entire team.

Very nice.

Vice President Walden has met with political resistance

Vice president was the target. Walker missed.

Virgil, I

Virgil, where are my pills? I need them!

Virgil? Is anyone there?

Walker would not have missed once, never mind three times!

Walker's not even critical. He's just a part, a piece, a pixel.

Was that Arabic?

We are not created for no reason.

We are only finding the path we are meant to walk on.

We both got to the same place, Nick.

We don't have anything. You see these guys?

We don't have much time.

We establish to our satisfaction that he's left the vicinity...

We found the shooter's weapon abandoned in an apartment a block away.

We have 80% certainty on Nazir.

We have nothing to worry about.

We have to get out of here. Come on. Come on.

We ought to sic him on Tom Walker.

We will throw down a gauntlet

We'll go for a walk.

We're clear.

We're driving, aren't we?

We're going to the hospital. They'll know what's wrong with you.

We're gonna be late.

We're gonna be late. I'll see you later.

We're just, uh We're in a holding area, and, um...

We've all been on a long, difficult journey.

We've been hearing chatter for days now

We've initiated a full lockdown protocol for your protection.

Well

Well

Well, ask me.

Well, he'll be here shortly. You can ask him yourself.

Well, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Mrs. Samler.

Well, it's only short term.

Well, maybe it is when he has a military sniper working for him.

Well, not a fan of being locked up, I guess.

Well, then it's a good thing you didn't shoot a deer...

Well, then it's all taken care of.

Well, you're my advisers.

Well...

Well...

What a fuckup.

What about the lithium?

What about the side effects? Memory loss.

What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at the State Department.

What are you doing? What's going on?

What are you playing at, Saul?

What are you talking about?

What did she say?

What do you want me to do?

What does being on administrative leave mean exactly?

What does it mean?

What does that mean?

What I am is a marine...

What if I had detonated that vest?

What kind of a story?

What real attack? What are you talking about?

What was he even looking for?

What would be different? Ask yourself that.

What you doing up here?

What you've been hiding from me? Yeah, I do.

What?

What?

What?

What's with all the backup?

Where I was held captive for more than eight years.

Where is he? There's no time.

Where's the vice president?

Which one of you is Benton?

Who I know to be liars and war criminals...

Who I love.

Who was operating a terrorist cell from across the Syrian border...

Who?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I said wait.

Whoever told the American people these interrogation tapes had been destroyed was mistaken.

Whose deaths were never acknowledged...

Why did he do it?

Why do you wash your hands and feet like that?

Why don't you tell me a story?

Why here, with all this security?

Why kill a man when you can kill an idea?

Why?

Why's that?

Will you let 'em know I'll be a couple minutes?

Will you promise me that?

Windows open, please.

With a beer?

Worried.

Would endanger every one of your case officers in the field...

Wouldn't you know it? No paper towels.

Wow.

Yeah, better.

Yeah, fine.

Yeah, I do.

Yeah, I understand.

Yeah, well, you're right.

Yeah? It's a brain I happen to love.

Yeah.
