Shaza, finish and help me set the table. Dinner's ready.
Hadi, l asked you to shut that off five minutes ago.
Your father will be here any minute.
Hey, Mom, do you think you can ask Dad tonight?
About buying a new laptop? lt's your funeral.
l need a new cell phone. Mine sucks.
lf you get a new laptop, l get a new cell phone.
- l need it for school work. - Yeah, right.
Wait, l got family, man.
- Kaleem. - l have a family.
- Kaleem! - ln the house, Asha.
- Don't, get back. - Mom!
Get inside, call 91 1 !
No!
l can't thank you enough for your help, Charlie.
Your work on algebraic statistics
was essential to getting my research published.
Oh, well, are you going to present this anywhere?
Yeah, there's a seminar on Current Models in Recombinant Methodology
this summer in Florence, ltaly.
And as coauthor of the article,
you are of course invited to help present the work.
Yeah, l have to confess, this whole business
of rearranging DNA to suit human needs,
listen, l find this very exciting.
ln this rather life-threatening, world-ending sort of way.
The ability to employ a more rapid and reliable de novo DNA synthesis
could lead to the creation of so many useful, practical applications.
Professor Phillip Sanjrani?
- Yes. - Special Agent William Fraley.
l'm gonna have to ask you to come with me.
- Why, what's this all about? - Agent, there must be some mistake.
- My brother's Agent-- - l'm aware.
There's no mistake, Dr. Eppes.
Look, l'm happy to cooperate.
- Only tell me what this is about. - We will.
Charlie, you work with the FBl. What's happening?
l don't know. l'll find out.
What happened was two men were abducted at gunpoint. They're missing.
Now, they were both members of the Pakistan lnternational Fund,
which is a local group suspected of being a cover for an extremist cell.
Counterterrorism seems to think that these abductions
may be some kind of prelude to a terrorist act.
What does a terrorist cell have to do with the arrest of a professor?
Your colleague, Phil Sanjrani, was a member of the group
and he's one of a dozen that they brought in for questioning.
And what's his actual connection?
To put it bluntly, Charlie,
the D.C. office suspects your friend of being a terrorist.
Hey, look, we'll definitely need your help with this, all right?
Can you come in?
Kaleem Rafiq was abducted by masked gunmen in front of his home.
Ronald Jamali left his office for lunch, never returned.
Now, both are members of a nonprofit called the Pakistan lnternational Fund.
Claims to raise money for rural Pakistan and Bangladesh,
but we have evidence funds could be going to jihadist groups.
These abductions signal an imminent attack?
Yeah, we think so.
Now, since 9/1 1 , we've stopped several terror plots,
thanks to informants.
Al Qaeda's instructing their operatives to eliminate leaks prior to attacks.
And you're thinking these guys were somehow a threat to the group?
That's why the director flew me out from D.C. on a military jet.
We have to find the leadership of the cell.
Now, it will be hidden.
Some operatives will be deep cover, not openly linked to the PlF.
Okay, well, l guess that's where l can help.
Well, you know, in the past, we've used math to identify
the covert structure of organisations.
Sure, like the social network kind of thing, right?
Well, actually, since we're saying that the NSA has a database
of phone intercepts on this group, l'll be using an analysis
based on Byzantine Fault Tolerance.
With a name like that, l don't even wanna ask.
lt's just a way of finding faulty components in computing systems.
So how do computers relate to the terrorist cell?
Well, think of a rowing team,
and imagine that one rower is secretly working against the rest of the team.
What math will do is look at the water in the boat's wake
and determine which oarsman is working against the rest of the team.
The missing men in this case are working against the terror cell.
- Just like your oarsman. - Right.
Math will not only identify them--
But it tells us who the other guys in the boat are.
- That's it. - Could it tell where the boat's going?
ln other words, what the cell's planning?
That's asking a lot of the metaphor.
lt is, but if there's enough information on the NSA intercepts, then...
Okay, look, you pursue that, and we just gotta find out
as much information about these two as we can, all right?
Hey.
So look, l know Phil Sanjrani's a member of the PlF,
but he's not a terrorist, he's a scientist.
l understand your concern, but he e-mailed instructions
for a bioweapon to Pakistan.
l didn't know that.
My husband was abducted in front of our home here in Los Angeles,
yet you ask me about a trip to Karachi eight years ago
and phone calls to his cousin in Kashmir?
We just need to pursue every avenue of the investigation.
You aren't pursuing my husband's case.
You're investigating him as a terrorist.
Because we're Pakistani? Because we're Muslim?
How much time will you waste when you could be trying to find him?
The only way l can help you is if you answer my questions.
My husband has been in this country for 25 years.
He is a business owner. He's not an extremist.
The Pakistan lnternational Fund is a charity
helping people in rural regions of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
- We are not political. - Hamad Mazari.
- What's your role in the organisation? - Mostly fundraising.
We're all volunteers. We do what we can.
We're gonna need to examine your membership and fundraising records,
as well as all telephone and computer information.
No, l don't think so.
Sir, two of your members were kidnapped.
Which doesn't mean we help you
conduct a witch hunt to our membership.
You aren't treating us as victims and you know it.
- l can get a search warrant. - Go ahead.
Sir, what do you think happened to Rafiq and Jamali?
When foreign-born Muslims go missing in this country,
they tend to turn up in federal detention.
The ClA's got a history of this. Why don't you check with them?
Wasn't us. The ClA doesn't do this.
Not in this country.
Well, we've heard that sometimes you guys do make exceptions.
This conversation is limited to the specifics of your case.
lt's also limited to an outdoor location.
Any reason you didn't wanna have this conversation in your office?
You needed to see me right away. You got me on my lunch hour.
Office or sidewalk, the answer is the same.
The agency had nothing to do with these abductions.
Okay, if it wasn't you guys, then who else does this sort of thing?
The FBl.
Phil's an American citizen. He's been at CalSci for eight years.
You didn't try to call a lawyer, did you?
- l may have made some calls, yes. - You can't be doing this.
- He's a colleague. - l don't care, you work for us.
As a consultant, not an agent.
My work is for use in agriculture.
- To develop disease-resistant crops. - Your research is restricted.
lt's illegal to send it to hostile foreign entities.
Restricted? Nobody informed me of that.
The list of restricted information is classified.
Then how would l know l couldn't send it?
Why would you send any information to religious extremists?
l contacted scientists working on crop yields
in a region suffering from famine and starvation.
You sent cutting-edge work in engineered genome sequencing
to a university linked to groups that hate this country.
No, l sent my work to respected researchers.
- Hey. - Agent Sinclair?
Rafiq's wallet.
Worker found it inside the warehouse. We saw it matched the victim.
- Did you guys find anything else? - Just started looking.
All right, thanks.
Yeah, a nice little blood trail there.
Looks like Rafiq.
And Jamali.
Both men were beaten, tortured with electricity.
To see if they leaked information.
Hey, guys, take a look at this found at the scene, it's a trigger pin.
Trigger pin? For what?
For one of these.
RPG-7. Russian-made rocket launcher, bunker-buster.
So the trigger pins are often shipped separately, they're hard to come by.
- lf you have pins, you got the rockets. - Damn.
Yeah.
We found these at the home of one of the other dead men, Ronald Jamali.
- Blueprints from four high schools. - A rocket attack on a high school?
They've already got the rockets.
Watch the schools, but keep it low-key.
They know we're on to them. They'll switch targets.
We're working these weapons contacts
to see if there's word out anywhere.
Hey, so l'm still working on tracking the dead men's connections to the PlF.
l need to tell you about some other preliminary findings.
Okay, what are they?
Just that my analysis has been unable to identify components
that correlate to any expected system.
What are you saying?
The PlF does not fit the profile for any known terror group.
According to your computer logic analysis.
No, actually, according to the FBl's own criteria.
The lack of religious ties,
its membership, its structure, its activities, all atypical.
There is no sign of any covert organisation within this group.
And l also have to say that Phil Sanjrani's connection
to this case is entirely coincidental.
Or maybe it's coincidental that he's a friend of yours?
Yeah, he's a friend of mine.
You came across his work because he's a member of PlF.
You assume that his work is terror-related
because you assume that the PlF is a terrorist group.
Look, Charlie, the guy makes synthetic pathogens.
And he sends his information to Pakistan.
His work is in crop development.
lt's designed to create new strains of food crops
resistant to drought and insects, which are both very big problems
in the farming regions of Pakistan.
You're a mathematician. This is biology.
Hundreds of scientists work in Phil's field. You gonna arrest them all?
lf they're connected to a terrorist group.
What if the PlF isn't a terrorist group? What if it's a charity?
Don't get many charity groups torturing and executing their own members.
And there's the matter of the rocket launchers, Charlie.
Hey, l'm willing, l'm more than willing to re-evaluate my methodology.
l would just suggest that you might wanna do the same.
- Professor Eppes, please, wait. - What is it, Agent Fraley?
l was wondering if you were aware that your colleague, Phil Sanjrani,
recently travelled to the Bajaur region of Pakistan.
New home of al Qaeda.
And that when he attended a Pakistani university,
his roommate was a man who later became a member of al Qaeda.
Your sister's a pharmacist.
l thought you'd make this argument, so l Googled you.
She studied pre-pharmacy at the University of Maryland.
Her Organic Chemistry professor was Dr. Afzul Abbas.
Dr. Abbas studied at Cairo University.
While there, he lived in the same residence as Ayman Al-Zawahiri,
a qualified pharmacologist and surgeon,
prominent leader of al Qaeda.
l connected you to a dangerous terrorist in three links.
l appreciate your skills in logic and deduction.
l hope you can appreciate my experience
working in Counterterrorism.
So you got your search warrant. Good.
Maybe now we can resolve this whole thing.
This gives us the right to seize all PlF records and information.
Oh, l doubt there's much more than what the FBl has already obtained
through its wiretaps and other electronic surveillances.
Care to tell us how you're aware of that?
We are Pakistani Muslims. You are FBl.
The PlF money helped many groups in Pakistan.
We got letters from schoolchildren thanking us.
A group of us went out there last year to set up a health centre.
Did your husband have any problems with the PlF's fundraising?
He and Ronald Jamali were upset about something.
He didn't say what.
Did he have any confrontations with the other members?
He did call people in Karachi about it.
Mazari's name was mentioned. l don't know for sure.
Thank you for your help.
The man who abducted my husband, l heard his voice.
He wasn't Pakistani.
But you didn't see his face.
My son plays baseball.
My daughter goes to the mall.
This is the only country they know.
And when they lose their father,
this country tells them he was a terrorist.
- Hey. - Hey.
l've just been arguing with an FBl Counterterrorism expert.
What are you guys up to?
We just got back from talking to Dr. Baltimore
who runs the microbiology labs.
We thought it might be interesting
to get his opinion of Phil Sanjrani's work.
Oh, yeah? What did he say?
He says it looks like it is what Sanjrani said it was.
Engineered gene sequencing
for the development of disease-resistant crops.
He did concede that some of it, conceivably,
could be used to create pathogens.
But only if you look at all the data
through the myopic lens of a paranoid federal official.
His words, not mine.
Hey, Don.
- l know Fraley's just doing his job-- - You're on Charlie's side?
Oh, come on, l'm not on a side. Fraley's expertise is terrorism.
Look, l know we often have to act on minimal information.
Exactly.
Go too far, we're gonna destroy what we're trying to defend.
He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.
Benjamin Franklin.
No, actually, l think it's a bumper sticker l saw.
Six months ago, this group started to raise a lot more money.
lt stopped keeping good records. Probably a reason.
l got a bunch of weird phone calls to New York, Boston, San Francisco.
Fine, go for it. But l say all roads lead to Pakistan.
- Hey. - Hi, Donnie.
- Who's winning? - l don't know, l'm reading the paper.
Hey, Charlie, buy what Fraley says?
l don't know. He's wrong about Phil Sanjrani.
Professor Sanjrani? What, he's involved in an FBl case?
l thought you were reading the paper.
Yeah, well, l was, but it's too depressing.
Look, Charlie, you know, l mean, you gotta be objective here.
l'm the one being objective.
You've arrested a man for sharing scientific knowledge.
lt's dangerous information with foreign extremists.
Hope you told them to make it extra crispy.
- Dad-- - You don't know that.
- That's the way it looks. - You want one, anybody?
You know, you and l have two very different world views and that's fine.
But now you're crossing into my world
and making assumptions about how people like me can or should work.
Charlie, people in your world also happen to make dangerous things.
Here we go, sooner or later this was bound to happen.
- You don't understand the specifics. - l don't really have to.
There's nothing wrong with a disagreement.
- lt's more than a disagreement. - Call it what you want.
This pizza is really very good. They finally made it crispy.
You both have strong principles, you can't always see things the same way.
Now, l'm gonna have my pizza and l'm gonna watch the game.
And l hope you guys will decide to join me.
Local informants haven't heard anything
about anyone buying Russian rocket launchers,
but there's somebody out there trying to sell RPGs.
Sell them? Do we know who?
We're working on it.
Hey, so l've come upon some significance in the PlF analysis.
- You found a hidden operative? - lt's possible.
But whatever this person's doing,
he's covertly linked to Rafiq and Jamali.
Are you sure?
Ninety-eight-point-two percent, l've got the data.
So using the Byzantine Agreements in Secure Communication model,
the NSA data on the PlF's members' cell-phone use
pointed out a third member who had a pattern of contact
with the two victims before they were abducted.
So was this person trying to root out Jamali and Rafiq as traitors?
No, actually, the analysis describes a very curious player
traversing the network to uncover information,
but in collaboration with Rafiq and Jamali.
And his name is Benjamin Rajar.
Sinclair, l need a surveillance team for one Benjamin Rajar,
driver's licence F549N649.
He's a lawyer with TVY Associates.
- 626 Wilshire. - Downtown.
lf you were able to connect this guy to the two dead men,
l'll bet the terrorists will as well.
Wait, Jamali was abducted off of a busy street.
Now, that's one hell of a risk.
lf they're well-trained, they like the movement.
lt's easy to peel one person out of the crowd without attracting attention.
B Team 1, target's moving. Prepare to exit.
Alpha team, are you in place?
All right, we got him.
Wait, where is he, who's got him? Anyone got eyes on him?
A Team 3, he's at the southeast corner of Wilshire and Hope.
There.
Someone's grabbing him. We're going in!
- They're grabbing him. Move, move. - FBl !
FBl ! Get those hands up where l can see them!
lt'll work out fine. Hey!
Get them up!
We got gunshots, multiple gunshots, automatic-weapon fire.
l'm going after David.
Get out of the way! Hey!
Hey, stop!
- You all right? - l'm okay.
lt's all right.
- We lost the other guy. - And this one here is dead.
- Who is that? - l don't know.
Doesn't look like a Pakistani.
Now, if this is a Pakistani extremist, l'm a Japanese schoolgirl.
They've recruited domestic operatives,
making them more capable and dangerous.
That's the only explanation?
We shouldn't be looking at other possibilities?
Put it together with what we know, two murders and another attempt.
The weapons, the school plans.
PlF phone records of calls to New York, Boston and San Francisco.
None connected to lslamic causes.
Look, we have to penetrate this group, find out who's calling the shots.
lf we can't, what then?
Get a judge to issue arrest warrants for as many members as we can.
lnitiate deportation proceedings. Hit them with everything we got.
This is gonna ruin a lot of innocent people's lives.
So could a rocket attack on a school.
So why do you think somebody tried to kill you?
l have no idea.
l was kind of hoping you guys are on top of that.
Now, two days before he was killed, Kaleem Rafiq called your law office.
Yes, he wanted me to look over the PlF's financials.
Said the group donated to certain charities.
Some of them had called to ask why the money had stopped.
Okay, who's in charge of the PlF's funds?
Supposed to be a committee, but in recent months, it's been...
lt's been who?
l don't wanna give you any names,
not with the way the FBl's been handling this.
lnnocent people are being accused of terrible stuff.
To fix that, we need more information, not less.
All right.
Hamad Mazari's been handling the funds.
Has anybody talked to Mazari about this?
- Rafiq said he and Jamali did. - How did they say he responded?
Mazari said he was working with new charities.
Kaleem called Pakistan to look into them,
but nobody had ever heard of them.
Did anybody suspect Mazari of mishandling the funds?
We figured it was just a mix-up. And then the murders happened.
Everybody's too upset to worry about the money right now.
Okay, what do you know about these?
l don't even know what l'm looking at.
lt's hard to believe this city started out
as this tiny little Spanish settlement supporting a mission in San Gabriel.
l wonder if there are any angels left in the City of Angels.
Oh, a few, l'd like to think.
l sense we're about to lose one.
Am l making a mistake?
Oh, you're answering something that's been calling out to you
for some time now.
How can that be a mistake?
Phil, how are you doing?
They questioned me for 30 hours.
They told me l had a visitor. l thought it was finally a lawyer.
- Well, do you have an attorney? - Doesn't matter.
They made up their minds about me.
They said that when you were in college,
you had a roommate who is now a member of al Qaeda.
That's a mistake.
He has the same name as a member of al Qaeda.
He's been trying for years to get that confusion cleared up.
Then last year you visited Pakistan.
To visit family, meet with the researchers that l work with.
The feds make it sound like l went to a jihadist training camp.
What do you think is going on in the PlF?
- Why were these two men killed? - l have no idea.
Are you asking for the FBl or for yourself?
For myself.
l know your work, l know its value.
They got some FBl scientist to review my work
and say it's applicable to human pathogens.
l'll find that report and l'll review it.
The hardest part for me is,
l was only able to send part of my work before l was arrested.
My work could save tens of thousands from starvation,
but now it'll do nothing.
Phil, l am trying.
l'm trying to get the FBl to reconsider your case.
l doubt that's possible.
But l would appreciate if you could talk to my wife.
My parents, tell them l am not what they say l am.
Hey, Don.
Hey, who's this guy with all the orange?
- l don't remember him. - That one?
That's Tombrello. He's an old fish, he likes to hide a lot.
l went over the FBl analysis of Phil Sanjrani's work.
The findings aren't scientifically valid.
All right. So, what is that supposed to mean?
For one, it's a political document. lt's not even a scientific one.
No matter how you cut it,
the guy shouldn't have sent his stuff to Pakistan.
lnsects and crop disease are serious problems in Pakistan.
His work's gonna help farmers feed starving people.
l don't think we should hoard that kind of knowledge.
l don't think we have the right to.
Well, we have a right to protect our country, don't we?
On any given day, you know,
l'm in contact with scientists in Moscow and China and lndia.
You gonna arrest me?
So we got nothing on the dead guy shot trying to abduct the attorney.
You're looking at domestic lists, right?
What, you don't think he's American?
l've been tracking down a lot of calls between the PlF and U.S. cities,
and l know this is gonna sound really weird,
but a lot of them lead to people and groups
that are linked to the lrish Republican Army.
lRA is defunct.
But when it was active in the U.S.,
it was a network that raised money and smuggled guns.
So you're saying you found the last active lRA cell?
l'm not saying it's an active cell,
but what happened to all those operatives?
What are they doing? They're all working at Starbucks?
All right, well, l mean, we could talk to old ex-lRA contacts.
l can look at the PlF leadership.
l just got some phone records that might give me something on Mazari.
You got anything else, maybe, you know, you wanna talk to us about?
Yeah, maybe it has something to do with your little trip to D.C.
that none of us were to know anything about?
Yeah, we're thinking you're up for a big promotion.
Maybe a job at Quantico?
Could be...?
Or maybe l'm just gonna leave the Bureau
and counsel women in prison and finish my doctorate.
That's a pretty big career change.
You know l love working with you guys,
but l feel like it's become very clear this year
that l'm not gonna make it here as a lifer.
- Did you talk to Don? - He knows already.
The FBl's wrong. l don't think l can keep working on this case.
They're working from a theory different from yours, true.
That doesn't make either of you wrong.
You don't know what's going on with the PlF either, but something is.
You're not serving the FBl here.
You're serving the truth.
Max Flaherty.
What could two feds possibly want with me?
Heard some of your old cohorts might be back in business.
l don't have cohorts. Try Sullivan's on 6th.
As a former convicted member of the lRA,
if the FBl considers you uncooperative, it'd be very easy to have you deported.
- What do you want to know? - lllegal weapons.
Any of your old associates working the markets?
Some of the boys still in it, l've heard. New York, Boston, not here.
Do you know this man?
Yeah, John Austin. Dead, is he?
Killed by federal agents during an attempted abduction.
What an end, but then he was never headed for a good one.
What was he doing in Los Angeles?
Don't know, he didn't come around here.
He ran with a fellow who wasn't liked in Los Angeles.
One Shane O'Hanahan.
- Why wasn't O'Hanahan liked? - He was a nasty piece of work.
lreland be damned, he was only in it for the money and guns.
Would O'Hanahan find himself mixed up
with Pakistani militants who want to attack the U.S.?
When he was lRA, he worked with Libyans, Syrians.
Hell, Shane O'Hanahan would work with the devil himself
if he thought he could get a dollar out of it.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Mr. Mazari?
Hamad Mazari?
Yes? How can l help you?
Same social security number, same identity documents.
So the man we know as Mazari stole his identity.
Our guy could be Saudi or Syrian, who the hell knows.
Could be al Qaeda.
We lD'd the man killed in the shootout. His name is John Austin.
lRA out of Belfast.
One of Austin's partners is a known gunrunner, Shane O'Hanahan.
That might fit your call thing, right? What was it, New York--?
- Boston. - San Francisco.
- Definitely lRA centres. - Started six months ago.
Yeah, and Mazari joined the PlF six months ago,
that's when the group changed how it disburses funds.
So these ex-lRA guys are supplying the PlF's weapons.
All right, so we gotta find this Mazari.
l checked his office and it was cleaned out.
l have a residential address for him.
FBl !
- Clear. - Clear.
Clear.
He's gone.
Hey, guys, come around to the garage.
Damn.
lt looks like this guy grabbed everything he could carry
and got the hell out of here.
Well, he's in Los Angeles somewhere.
With enough firepower to make one hell of a mess.
We don't know the identity of the man we're after.
We do know he's an extremist, he's got rocket launchers,
he's linked to plans for an attack on area schools.
l've run an analysis on our so-called Mazari as a known covert operator.
He is not the centre of a terror group. He has been working alone.
All patterns show isolated activity.
Well, yeah. He killed his co-conspirators.
No, my analysis shows that he's always been isolated within this group.
Remember the analogy
where we thought that Rafiq and Jamali
were the oarsmen working against the team?
- Yeah, all right. - lt was Mazari hijacking the boat.
We don't have a terrorist cell. We've got a lone terrorist?
Are you 1 00 percent positive that Mazari's a terrorist?
How else to explain the weapons, the plans for attacks on schools?
To be fair, we really got blueprints, right? They weren't attack plans.
- We're looking at Angels and Devils. - Excuse me?
M.C. Escher's print of Angels and Devils is a classic example
of the figure-ground effect in perceptual organisation.
How we look at things is determined by our predisposition.
ln Escher's Angels and Devils,
one can either see black devils or white angels.
Our perception is influenced by our thinking.
We found the school plans at Ronald Jamali's house.
His wife said his company was gonna make a bid on a school-roofing project.
That would explain why the blueprints were there.
And the firing pin we found at the murder scene
could have been left there by Mazari.
So no conspiracy, no terrorist. Maybe something else entirely.
You're not gonna believe this.
l found photos of Shane O'Hanahan,
you know that lRA associate of John Austin?
Check this out.
Facial recognition software identified them as the same person.
Mazari's not Pakistani.
No, he's a former lRA gunrunner.
He faked being Pakistani to get the PlF's funds,
which he used to finance his old business of selling black-market arms.
That's why we heard about weapons for sale in the area.
He killed Rafiq and Jamali because they got suspicious.
Then he tried to grab Rajar, and now he has to be on the run.
L.A.P.D. has an all-points and TSA is on alert to LAX,
Long Beach, Burbank, Ontario.
Undercover agents at Union Station and bus terminals.
This guy's not taking any obvious routes, people.
All right, checking banks, credit-card companies
for any activity under O'Hanahan's aliases.
l've got the FAA monitoring all private-plane flight plans.
Hi, l'd like to reserve a car, please.
Last name, Kerrigan.
Hey, l did get a guy in Burbank who used a credit card
to rent a car under the name Jackson Kerrigan,
one of O'Hanahan's aliases.
- Everyone's out, we're clear, Don. - Okay, we're going in.
We're moving.
Shane O'Hanahan. FBl, freeze!
- My name's Jack Kerrigan, boys. - Put the bag down.
Just relax, okay? Going down.
lt's a classic logic error.
You make the evidence fit your theory, not the other way around.
PlF is Pakistani Muslims, so we assumed a terrorist cell.
So why is Phil Sanjrani still in custody?
What do you mean? He e-mailed restricted documents overseas.
But we now know that there was no terrorist action, so...
He still broke federal law.
Yeah, but you guys only arrested him because he was a member of the PlF.
- Doesn't matter, he did what he did. - Yeah, it matters. lt matters.
Your analysis of his work rests on the assumption he's a terrorist.
He's not.
Can't you see that an objective evaluation
comes to an entirely different conclusion, he's innocent?
Well, Charlie, l promise you, he will get his day in court.
You guys might wanna leave.
l don't want you to be accessories.
We'll take the risk.
Think l'm making a mistake?
You need to do what you believe is right.
lt's done.
Megan resigned.
- Was it about this case? - No.
lt's been building up for some time.
She's moving to Washington, going back to school,
looking for a line of work closer to her heart.
Are you okay?
You know, last year l was 21 7 miles above the Earth.
Yeah, our relationship has never depended on geographic proximity.
So it looks like you're all packed up.
Yeah, l'm ready.
- You want some help with this stuff? - Yes, please. Thank you.
Let's go before l get silly.
- Dr. Eppes, you ready? - Dad, your car needs a bath.
So this is my attorney,
and he's negotiated my surrender to federal authorities.
Dr. Eppes, l'll need to handcuff you.
Oh, Charlie, what did you do?
l e-mailed the rest of Sanjrani's work
to scientists at four universities in Pakistan.
- Why? - Felt l had to.
As Phil's colleague.
As a scientist.
l have a strong defence.
That research can't be used as a weapon.
We know that now. We couldn't know it then.
ls it true what l just heard? You lost your security clearance?
Yeah, it's true.
- Well, do something, fix this. - lt doesn't work that way.
You know what this means?
That he cannot work at this college on any classified project.
How can you even keep working for the FBl without your clearance?
l don't think l can.
Neither one of you wanna talk about it?
Well, it's a hell of a big elephant in a relatively small yard.
Right.
lt's kind of amazing that we worked together as long as we did.
This is not the first time that this house has been divided
by a fundamental disagreement.
That year that Charlie spent at MlT, remember when he came home?
Now, that was a shocker.
Yeah, so l'm a Celtics fan.
lt happens even in good families.
Actually, not really, not in L.A.
Eppes.
Okay, l'm on my way.
All right.
See you guys later, huh?
Don.
- Just watch yourself. - You too.
This is gonna be harder than l thought.
l think it's to be continued.
