03x08 - On the Brink of The Abyss

Post by bunniefuu »

This is me.

I have what you want.

I will come.

Wait!

Sara sent me.

Sara left this for you.

Where is Nahid?

I think she tricked me to get away from you.

This country...

No matter where I am, my mind is in Iran.

Your head, my heart.

"How can a man escape what is written,

"How can he escape his fate?"

He is an Iranian agent.

He has a daughter.

Get her phone.

Do you work for the CIA?

I am willing to do anything to stop the regime.

The partners approved his story.

Once the firing system is installed
in an active b*mb, it will destroy it.

I believe that there may be
a problem with the wiring of the detonator.

You need to act immediately.

"Error"

They led us straight to the malware.

There is a problem.

We have to get out!
- Get to safety. I'm folding. Do you hear?

The b*mb is still active.

Are you okay?

I got hit hard.

It's too late for me.

Our big day is coming, Frazz.

This experiment must take place.

Even though there is a radioactive generator at its center,

it can be safely touched at the core.

Like a baseball.

But when a sufficient amount of pressure is applied
from focused expl*sive charges,

it has the potential for unimaginable destruction.

Once we conduct the experiment tomorrow

all the governments of the world will know what power you have.

The Iranian people thank you
for this gift, Dr. Peterson.

I will perform the final tests before we start
tomorrow with the transfer to the test site

The brother Kamali believes
that there is a security breach in this facility.

So we decided to expedite the transfer of the b*mb.

No, no, no...

We are not ready.

We are ready, Ayatollah.

No, no... you do not understand!

Today!

Are you transferring the b*mb today?

You have a more important job
somewhere else, Dr. Peterson.

I understand.

Very good.

Give me that.

Did you do what you were supposed to do?

Yes.

Is the b*mb there?

The Americans traced the parts
that Rasami smuggled into these tunnels.

These are branches of the Tehran subway system.

They did not finish building it.

These tunnels pass beneath the regular
metro tunnels, so they are very deep.

They are impenetrable.

The CIA informed us
that they are transferring the b*mb from there.

for a nuclear test at the site in the desert.

We are monitoring the entrances and exits
of the tunnels until we detect movement.

And then what?

When they surface,
we will neutralize them with a bird on the way to the test site.

Will the execution be outside the city?

You cannot blow this up
in a place with thousands of civilians.

If there is feasibility.

Wear this.

You are going back to Owen's prison.

The scientist's daughter is receiving an incoming call from Iran.

Grind the source.

Peterson is calling his daughter.

"Hey, this is Jen. I'll call back soon."

I don't know if you listened to these messages.

I don't know if you will understand this message.

But I don't have much time.

I told you once that my mind is always in Iran.

You told me that your heart is here.

Is Peterson's daughter also in Iran?

Do you remember the quote?

"How can a man escape what is written?"

"How can he escape his fate?"

Why is he telling her this?

He is not telling it to her.

He is talking to me.

I hope we see each other again very soon.

For the sake of all of us.

The signal is still active.

There is a tracking.

Villa in the Lavasan area.

Our target is the b*mb, not the scientist.

Tamar!

We need to go.

Is everything ready for transfer?

Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

She is not responding.

She is tracking the scientist's phone.

She is probably on her way to the villa in Lavasan.

Doctor, come please.

He is in motion.

If he is traveling from Lavasan to the city,
he will pass through Kofah.

Bring us there before them.

Look, something is happening at the secret facility.

Daniella, give me satellites.

Can we see what is inside the truck?

Infrared shows it is covered in lead.

It could be radioactive waste.

There is an escort of a civilian vehicle, so it doesn't seem unusual.

Keep following her. Do not lose visual contact.

I have a contract on the truck and the escort vehicle.

Send that.

What happened to this vehicle?

Open.

"Duck!"

Drive.

Really, it's unnecessary.

Forgive us for not trusting you.

Listen to me,

They are transferring the warhead.

We have to find him.

You built it for them and now you
want us to find it in...

It's about to explode.

How do you know?
-Because I programmed it.

I loaded and armed the b*mb
so that it would explode at 12 noon

today.

Less than two hours remain.

Why did you do that?

I invested two and a half years

to make them believe
that I was giving them the b*mb

but only so I could destroy it.

To destroy this f*cking plan
once and for all.

It was supposed to explode in the lab.

That's insane.

It would have worked!

The depth of the tunnels would have absorbed the expl*si*n.

Yes, and what about the radiation?

The radiation would not have allowed them
to hide what happened.

They had no choice but to act
according to the protocols and evacuate the city.

How can you know?

Because I wrote the protocols, damn it!

The whole world would understand what liars they are!

The Iranians themselves would understand it!

What about the people you would k*ll?

I calculated that.

The loss of life was...

Acceptable?

Don't you dare judge me.

How many Iranians will be k*lled by their government,

if something doesn't change?

So the arrest, the fact that you returned after
we rescued you, everything you did...

Was it all part of your plan?

Once I started, I had to
go through with it to the end.

Can you stop her?

Yes. I can.

But I need your help.

Tamar is on the line.

Do we have a location on the Rishak [Combat Commander]?
He is still on the move.

Listen to me and listen to me well...

Julia, in less than two hours, this b*mb will explode.

How do you know?

Peterson is with me. He set
the b*mb to 12:00 Tehran time.

What do you mean set? Did he activate the b*mb?

Wait...

There is another truck.

What is happening here?

Wait, this is not one...

I already have six of those.

All are lead-coated and have escort vehicles.

They are using decoys.

These are regular vehicles that are hard to locate like this in traffic.

You need to break into the urban transport system.

We must stop them immediately.

I want you to tell me
everything you know about the Rishk,

and start to get out of the city. Now!

Pelican, do you copy?

Traffic lights, roundabouts, road construction, everything you can.

The commander?

Something happened to the traffic system.

Look. Traffic jam.

Is there any news about the location of the Reshbak?

Is there a possibility to take them all down?

Some of our satellites are about to go offline.

In any case, we have no ability to monitor
six trucks in motion simultaneously.

No risks are taken.

We must track all of them.

When we locate the right truck, we will intercept it.

What does that mean? It can't be intercepted within the city.

That is a dirty b*mb, thousands of people will die.

Listen to me well. I am not taking
risks with national security.

Based on a word of a person
whom we know lied and lied,

a person who can deceive the whole world.

If we can't locate the truck,
then the city must be evacuated.

If there is a chance that Iran will obtain nuclear weapons
that it might use against us,

then for me none of these trucks
will leave Tehran.

If this b*mb detonates...
- then it's better that it be in Tehran.

Remember who you are, and remember who
you claim you are fighting alongside.

Go f*ck yourself.

If we do not find the right truck,
a nuclear b*mb will explode in the middle of the city.

So found her.

But if we find her, and I will report to them...

The institution will attack her.

So a nuclear expl*si*n...
or a dirty b*mb in the heart of Tehran.

No, no, no!

We must stop this.

You don't even know in which truck she is.

How many people in the regime know at all?

Probably a few people.

There is one that comes to my mind.

Yes sir.

Reported.

We are driving slowly behind the truck.

Wait for further instructions.

And drive faster.

Yes, sir.

Khamali.

If you want to see Nahid,
you have exactly 3 minutes

to exit the building, without drawing attention.

Well, you... hello to you too, Mr. Khamali.

I wanted to schedule a meeting with you

and talk about your wife.

Is now the time? Move out of my way!

Be quiet. Don't say a word. Come with me.
Come.

Get in the car. Move.

Enter.

You said Nihad is here!

Do what she says. For the good of us all.

Stay close.

Dispatcher, I want you to locate a car,
I'll give you a description... yes.

Why should I believe what you’re telling me?
-Why would she lie?

Because she’s lying about everything!

Not about this, damn it.

She violated a command of the Mossad
when she contacted you.

They will just let the b*mb explode
if we don't identify the truck.

And if you identify it?

I won’t inform them.

I won’t inform them.

If all this is true, an Iranian scientist from the nuclear program

could stop it.
-No.

I need access to the b*mb.
It must be done manually.

It must be me.

And we have less than an hour.

Listen...

I never doubted your love for Tehran,
so don't doubt my love.

For the city and all its inhabitants.

...for Nahid.

Is she still in the city?

If you take us to the warhead,

I will call her and give you the phone.

But first, please!

Hello, sir.

This is Kamali. What is your current location?

We're in the cursed traffic on La La Street.

We need to take her to a place
that will not be exposed to the eyes of all.

Tell them to go north,
beyond Shahra, to Solukon Road.

Tell them.

Tell the driver to take Solukon Road.

And from now on, you don't answer any number except mine.
There was a breach, they got on to us.

Yes, sir.

We are approaching.

I am listening.

The motion camera detected the suspicious vehicle.

He is on Harel Street, driving north.

Thank you.

So everything you said about loving Iran,

everything you said to Larijani,

was it all a lie?

After all I've suffered from the regime
in the last 20 years...

Have you ever felt what it’s like to look in the mirror

and realize that the goal you dedicated everything to,

the goal that became more important to you than your marriage,

than your daughter, than your happiness...

wasn't the right goal?

I had to do something.

Where is Tamar, damn it?

Disconnected connection.

Ali, Ali... the truck is veering off course.

We need to report this immediately. Where is Kamali?

Call him, come on! Hurry.

Meanwhile send forces there.

There is a satellite image showing a truck leaving the city.

Intercept it immediately.

Itamar, you on this?

Affirmative.

Spear, receive coordinates:



Report visual contact with target.

All units towards the tunnel, as fast as possible.

We intercepted traffic on the guards' channel.

They are looking for Kamali.

If Tamar closed any deal with him...

You don't know if she...
-I know her.

She is too connected
to her Iranian side. This is dangerous for us.

Your security is in danger.

There is a possibility that the enemy will attack.

Go towards the first tunnel.

Sir?
-Obey the order!

Yes, sir.

Show me!

The commander, we lost contact with the truck,
the special units are already on the way.

Idiots!...

Faster.

The truck entered a tunnel, we have no contracts.

I can't find the exit to the tunnels.

It looks like an abandoned road project.

There is a car chasing it.

What is this hole? I have
a bad feeling about this place.

Call Kamali.

There is no reception.

A car is coming, let's go out!

Look over there!

Finally.

Call her.

Call Naheed.
As you promised.

There is no reception.

Give me that.

I'll keep an eye out.

God, less than 12 minutes.

Hurry, get your bag.

We cannot lose the b*mb!

Ali, hurry up. Call the air force.

Attack birds ready for action,
ten small from the target.

The guards have already sent teams on the way there.

They must not arrive there before us.
We have to put the birds into the tunnel.

The Iranian air force has now launched helicopters.

There is concern that our birds will be detected.

...sh*t

Sir, the helicopter is already in the air.

Can you keep an eye on it so I can board?

Do you doubt me?

Well, we have 9 minutes.
You can do this.

Wait, you need to approach the system
without activating the firing system.

I got full access.

I see the security protocol.

No, no, wait...

There is a defense mechanism in the system.

Hidden verification protocol
resets randomly every eight seconds.

You really meant to do this.

Can you bypass it?

You do not know how to do this?

I told you I need you.

Six minutes and 15 seconds to touch.

I can submit a diagnostic update request,

but I will need to renew it manually all the time,

which means that if I make one mistake...
- then do not make a mistake, Tamar.

Just buy time so I can
do what I need to do.

If we want to save the city.

Nahid...

Where are you?

...Faraz

I just wanted to know where you are.

Did she let you call me from this phone?

Are you still in the city?

It does not matter where I am.

I am in a safe place.

No... you are not in a safe place!

Faraz, do not come looking for me.

Listen...

How can I not come looking for you?

Nahid, my beloved.

Faraz, listen...

You must understand.

I could have chosen,

to stay or to leave.

You could also have chosen.

Iran or me.

I am trying to save you, and Iran.

I shouldn't have had to ask you
for more than you could give.

And because of that...

From now on you are free.

Nahid.

Faraz?

Are you hearing this, Faraz?

They're on the way.

I don't know what mess you got into, but it's over.

These are t*rrorists

they want to destroy the city.

Do me a favor, General.

Don't argue with me!

Don't move.

We have to stop them.

Either you sh**t me...

or you help me.

I told you not to move!

Okay, hurry!

We only have 4 minutes.

Fraz.

Fraz!

Fraz, did something happen?

Fraz, can you hear me?!

I love you.

This is Romach, heading towards target.

Five small birds from the destination.

The shifts are almost there!

All forces will arrive in a few minutes.

Are you done?

Did you think I would let you do that?

Are you done?

Almost.

We need more time
to stop the expl*si*n.

Are you trying to deceive me?

Disable the b*mb?

No.

Listen, there is one more protocol that needs to be bypassed.

Okay? Just one.

Then you will get your damn b*mb back.

So do it.

For the people who are so important to you.

Almost 12 noon.

But first release her.

Release her or I
won't stop the b*mb and we all die.

I can do this alone.

Release her.

And you will earn your precious b*mb.

Go!

You will find my daughter...

Yeah?

Tell her what happened here.

What really happened here.

You will not get out of this just like that.

Did you understand?

You will not get out of this alive.

Now go!

Do it.

Hurry! You are running out of time.

What happened?
-The shifts are here.

I know how to get out.

So what is happening now?

Return the warhead,
maintain your reputation as a hero?

Do you think it will work?

Team A, Team A.
Proceed carefully to the tunnel entrance.

You will not understand.

I am not thinking about myself.

I am thinking about my country.

Team B. Stay alert!

Did you get it?

I choose Iran over everything.

Really?

Birds 90 seconds from the target.

Not in front of your wife.
Nahid.

You understand, Tamar knew.

She knew you would have to
come out of the tunnel to talk to her.

What does that mean?

It's ready.

What are you doing?

She knew this would be her opportunity.

Give me a hand.

Let's go.

Are you okay?

Let's go! We have 30 seconds.



Unit A is entering.

"How will he escape his fate?"

What did you do?

It's the best for both of us.

Was it...?

Conventional.
Not nuclear.

Is that the core?

We took it out.

Yulia...

The core is with me.

She did it.

What now?

We have to move.
