7:30 pm
my word is the last word? i have to decide what to do. >> stahl: were you prepared for this? >> elaine weinstein: how could you be prepared for this? >> stahl: you can't. >> elaine weinstein: i never held life and death in my hands. and i'm telling you, i held his life in my hands. >> stahl: the nightmares. >> elaine weinstein: yeah. >> stahl: every decision. did i make the right decision? >> elaine weinstein: right. again, you asked about publicity. >> stahl: yeah >> elaine weinstein: well, some said, "shout it from the rooftops." and some people said, "shh, don't tell anybody." well-- and then this is not just my team. this is also people weighing in, friends, family, calling me. "well, why didn't you do this? and why didn't you do that?" you know, give me a break. >> stahl: elaine decided to follow the f.b.i.'s recommendation and pay the ransom in installments.
7:31 pm
of three payments was delivered in front of this mosque in peshawar, warren would be delivered to a nearby hotel disguised as a devout muslim woman wearing a black burka. but after the money was given, warren was not returned. >> elaine weinstein: and now they wanted more. >> stahl: so they got almost all. >> elaine weinstein: almost all the money and i got no warren. >> warren weinstein: my name is warren weinstein. >> stahl: over time, she watched her husband deteriorate in publicly released videos on al qaeda websites. he became more haggard; elaine would notice he had lost a tooth. >>warren weinstein: we may never see each other again. >> stahl: she came to realize warren had been transferred to a different group who didn't want money, they wanted prisoners released from pakistani prisons. but the u.s. government has a policy of not negotiating with terrorists, which has left many hostage families feeling
7:32 pm
still, she went to see top u.s. officials including secretary of state john kerry and deputy national security advisor lisa monaco to ask for help. >> elaine weinstein: do something. you're the strongest country in the entire world, do something. and they did nothing. >> stahl: elaine began worrying about another threat to warren: u.s. drone strikes. because the kidnappers were calling her from public phones, the f.b.i. believed that warren was being held in north waziristan, a prime target area for the strikes. she says she told lisa monaco of her fears in january 2014. >> stahl: she had the foresight to worry that the bombing could affect her husband? >> lebson: of course. she said, "we believe warren is in north waziristan. please make sure you don't accidentally kill him." and it's exactly what happened.
7:33 pm
express our grieve and condolences to the families of two hostages: one american, dr. warren weinstein and an italian giovanni laporto, who were tragically killed in a u.s. counter terrorism operation. >> stahl: the president said that after hundreds of hours of surveillance over the compound, it was determined that it housed only terrorists. it wasn't until after the strike that they realized warren and the other western hostage were also there. c.i.a. director john brennan and lisa monaco went to elaine's daughter's home to explain to the family what happened, a meeting that has not been disclosed until now. >> elaine weinstein: it was like, "i told you so." i was worried about it from the first day. >> stahl: and you articulated this? >> elaine weinstein: yeah, i did.
7:34 pm
"don't do this." and they acknowledged that they did it and they-- they goofed. >> stahl: so how did lisa monaco react? >> elaine weinstein: she basically started to cry. she grabbed a tissue and she said "i know." >> stahl: the president called elaine, apologized and took full responsibility for the death of her husband. as a final indignity, the kidnappers asked for money for warren's body, which the u.s. government refused to pay for fear that kidnappers would start killing hostages and ransoming the corpses. >> warren weinstein: ok. >> stahl: the sound of warren's voice on audio tapes... >> warren weinstein: elaine, i wanted to let you know that i'm okay. >> stahl: ...13 months after his death, is excruciating for elaine. as is looking at the videos. >> warren weinstein: please give my love to the kids and tell them that no matter what happens, i love them very much.
7:35 pm
love you. >> stahl: you didn't even look-- at the video tapes of warren that they put out. >> elaine weinstein: i saw them once. >> stahl: that was it. too distressing? >> elaine weinstein: very painful. i mean, maybe someday i'll look at them again and say, "this is all i have left." but unh-uh, not now. >> stahl: how are you now? >> elaine weinstein: trying to go on with my life. trying to-- i'm still married to him. >> stahl: the white house, f.b.i. and c.i.a. declined our request for comment. two months after warren weinstein's death was made public, the f.b.i. created an interagency unit to work on hostage situations and share information with the families of

>> steve kroft: the academy awards are next sunday night, but it's possible now to make one prediction: the broadcast will last about three hours and much of it will be taken up by acceptance speeches and thank yous. that's because all movies are collaborations in which many people deserve credit, even if they are not nominated. the best example this year may be "steve jobs," a complex and cautionary character study of the apple co-founder that generated critical acclaim, disappointing receipts at the
7:41 pm
performances of the year. michael fassbender and kate winslet are both up for oscars, not just because they are great actors but because they had very demanding roles in a very unusual movie that allowed them to show just how good they really are. and that would not have happened without screenwriter aaron sorkin and director danny boyle. >> steve jobs: for a given clock rate, a power pc chip is twice as fast as a pentium two chip. >> kroft: it was by every measure a unique and ambitious project about the inner workings of a recently deceased genius. someone who saw the future, and built it by breathing life into the personal computer. defining how it would be used, and selling the idea to the american public. >> jobs: see how this reminds you of a friendly face, but the disk slot is a goofy grin? it's warm, and it's playful, and it needs to say hello. >> kroft: unlike many hollywood films, "steve jobs" wasn't built
7:42 pm
it was built around a massive theatrical script from academy award-winning screenwiter aaron sorkin on the right, then placed in the hands of academy award winning director danny boyle, on the left. >> danny boyle: everybody knows aaron sorkin's scripts. there's a huge amount of lines. there's a huge amount of interchange. you got to do a lot of learning to be able to get it up to pace. >> kroft: to begin with, there were more than 180 pages of dialogue, nearly twice the size of an average script. a drama in three acts that takes place backstage at three different product launches spanning 14 years in steve jobs' life. it is two hours of talk. intelligent, often humorous conversation and adversarial confrontation. >> jobs: you had three weeks. the universe was created in a third of that time. >> andy hertzfeld: well, someday you'll have to tell us how you did it. >> boyle: can i just see you? >> kroft: it was the director's job to bring action and movement to the sorkin script, which read like the sound of steve jobs'
7:43 pm
>> jobs: everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone is waiting for the mac. >> boyle: it's this-- this tormented mind and what's involved in the process, as-- he saw it, of changing the world, you know. and he did change the world back then. and-- and how do you do that? and it's that fevered mind. >> jobs: we're there? >> hertzfeld: i need more time. >> jobs: you can't have it. >> hertzfeld: twenty minutes! >> kroft: when it came to casting the lead, boyle thought there was only a tiny number of people who could pull off the complicated and demanding role. he was less interested in landing someone who looked like committed actor determined to convince people he was steve jobs. >> jobs: two most significant events of the twentieth century: the allies win the war and this. >> kroft: he decided on michael fassbender, the rising irish star with the german surname and a work ethic like the man he was picked to play. >> boyle: he has a very kind of jobsian approach, i think. he's so focused and uncompromising about the way he does the work. >> kroft: is this the most complicated thing you've ever
7:44 pm
>> michael fassbender: it's the hardest thing i've ever done. >> kroft: fassbender had been praised for his part in quentin tarantino's "inglorious basterds." >> lt. archie hicox: well if this is it old boy, i hope you don't mind if i go out speaking the kings. >> kroft: and he received an academy award nomination for his supporting role in "12 years a slave." his range runs from macbeth: >> macbeth: so foul and fair a day i have not seen. >> kroft: to magneto, the villian in the "x-men" action franchise. but "steve jobs" was going to be different. laughs ) >> kroft: no-- no exploding cars. >> fassbender: no. ( laughs ) >> kroft: no sex. >> kroft: not ev-- any romance. ( laughs ) >> fassbender: mmmm. ( laughter ) yeah. so, i was, like, "perfect. this is gonna be great." ( laughter ) yeah, it was just-- it was such an unusual piece of writing. >> boyle: because it was such an enormous, it was like tackling a huge-- one of the big shakespeare's, like a lear or-- >> fassbender: yeah. >> boyle: --a hamlet. or, you know, it's like a mountain to climb. >> kroft: kate winslet first
7:45 pm
was casting not from her agent or producer scott rudin, but from her hair and make up person while shooting a film in australia. >> kate winslet: i just knew that it was going to be electric to be in a room with michael fassbender and danny boyle. and i honestly promise you, it absolutely was. >> kroft: winslet, who has one oscar already to go with six nominations, can have just about any role in hollywood she wants. >> joanna hoffman: we're out of time. they've got to mop the floor. >> kroft: but no one seemed to be thinking about her for this one, the part of apple marketing whiz joanna hoffman, who was one of the few people who could handle steve jobs. >> kroft: you did want to do this movie. you sought out the role? >> winslet: i-- i offered my-- offered my services and-- let it be known that should they be interested in casting completely against type and considering the blonde english woman to play the dark-haired polish armenian, ( laughs ) i'd be delighted. >> kroft: with some wit and an iphone, she managed to get their attention. >> winslet: i gave them a little bit of a nudge. and i-- i put a dark-haired wig
7:46 pm
made myself look as much like the real joanna hoffman as i possibly could. and i took a selfie and sent it to scott rudin, and-- it seemed to do the trick. and danny boyle came to australia and we had a meeting. and he asked me to play the role. >> kroft: by the time kate winslet arrived in san francisco to begin shooting, she and the rest of the cast had read the script and realized they were facing a huge challenge: a fast paced drama that unfolds in hallways, on staircases and in dressing rooms. winslet, who's character was a composite of the strong women in jobs' life, found it all a bit terrifying. >> kroft: why terrifying? >> winslet: terrifying because it's 187-page script. and it flows. there's a rhythm to it. there's a pace to it that has to feel entirely accidental and fluid. and the only way to really honor that and respect those words is to know them and to not forget them. that's the hardest part.
7:47 pm
late so avie can recompile. just at least give us a fighting chance. >> jobs: jesus christ, how many times have we had this conversation? >> hoffman: fine! >> jobs: we're not starting late ever, we're not ever starting late. >> winslet: because if you forget even one word, one line, or you pause for just too long while sort of trying to remember what comes next, the whole thing unravels. >> kroft: danny boyle, who spent years directing at the royal court theatre in london, knew exactly what his actors were up against and got the studio to agree to a costly six weeks of rehearsal. the cast would learn one act at a time, then film it in sequence. >> boyle: i couldn't see any other way that the actors would be able to control this beast, this huge beast of this extraordinary dialogue that he'd written as a way into this man's mind. and i thought the only way the actors can get on top of it and own it, which is the key, i think, is by breaking it down and letting us rehearse. >> winslet: we rehearsed the first scene-- well, act, first
7:48 pm
and we got it-- as-- we got it down. and then we went and filmed it. and then filming would stop, and we would go back and we would shoot-- we would rehearse the second part. and then we would go in and shoot that. and then filming would stop again. and so there's this crew on hiatus while we would go off and rehearse again for another 12 days. and then we'd go back in and shoot. so by the time we got onto the set, we were already on performance number 50, because we had been doing it for two weeks straight. >> kroft: fassbender, who had by far the most lines, saw steve jobs as a great man and a flawed human being. a visionary, and a vainglorious control freak. >> jobs: what size shirt do you wear? >> man: me? >> jobs: does anyone know what size shirt he wears? does anyone know what size shirt i wear? >> hoffman: does anyone know where the closest psychiatrist is? >> jobs: the disk fits in your pocket. >> hoffman: does it have to be a white shirt, is blue ok? >> jobs: no. the mac is beige, i'm beige. the disk is blue. the shirt has to be white. >> kroft: a brilliant motivator and recruiter of talent. >> jobs: that was cool! >> kroft: who could be an unreasonable boss, an
7:49 pm
unreliable friend. >> steve wozniak: you know when people used to ask me what the difference was between me and steve jobs, i would say steve was the big picture guy and i liked the solid work bench. when people ask me what the difference is now, i say steve's an ( bleep ). >> kroft: he's not a very sympathetic character. >> fassbender: you say that. ( laughs ) i-- yeah, i don't-- i find him to be. i think, you know, when you have such strong convictions and a lack of patience with-- that goes with it, and a sharp tongue and, you know-- elements of cruelty perhaps, you know, it's- - it can come across as-- as maybe a bit harsh for people to take onboard. i think he was an extraordinary person. and he changed the way we lived our lives. i never looked at him or approached him as an unsavory character. >> kroft: unpleasant? unsociable?
7:50 pm
yeah. you know i suppose, approaching it as actor, unpleasant isn't really something that i want to set out to play, you know. i can't really play unpleasant. but if somebody said, "play somebody who's got a lack of patience, who's very-- you know, got a very strong vision-- is unrelenting in that vision, you know, has a problem perhaps with emotional connection," now i'm going somewhere. now i can start putting together something. >> kroft: fassbender believes jobs' anti-socal tendencies may have been a convenient way of putting distance between himself and other people, a way of managing their judgements and expectations of him. >> hertzfeld: why do you want people to dislike you? >> jobs: i don't want people to dislike me. i'm indifferent to whether they dislike me. >> kroft: all of this made little difference to job's widow who was unhappy with her husband's portrayal. apple refused to cooperate with the project. c.e.o. tim cook called it
7:51 pm
for the most part, the cast and danny boyle shrugged it off. >> boyle: his importance to our world now is such that you can't ignore him. you have to write as much right about these guys. and not just him, there are many, many ot-- other figures that are turning the world around, literally overnight. so for that reason, it felt like it was important to tell a story. there is a steve that apple would like to actually present to the public. they have a character, steve, and they want to keep that story going. and it's very important that writers challenge that occasionally and not just trust their parent companies to tell them. >> kroft: danny boyle has always had an aversion to that kind of power. a working class guy with no discernible ego, he joined the ranks of britain's top directors after winning an academy award for "slumdog millionaire," and he became a national hero for directing the elaborate opening ceremony for the 2012 olympics in london. then he became very famous for turning down a knighthood from
7:52 pm
knighthood. boyle: yes, i was. but that, it's not really the-- it's not my cup of tea, really. i feel very, i d-- i feel very fake walking ar-- i find it difficult enough being called "mr. boyle," which as i age i'm increasingly called. ( laughter ) i find that hard enough, anyway. so, any-- anything else, i-- i wouldn't be comfortable with. >> kroft: did you know this was in the works? did you know this was coming? or did your name just appear on this list? >> boyle: no, no. you get a phone call. ( laughter ) >> kroft: and you just told 'em flat out. >> boyle: yeah. and i-- and you get another phone call to see if you'd change your mind. ( laughter ) >> kroft: no regrets. >> boyle: n-- well-- no, no. not-- not-- not-- not at all, no. ( laughs ) absolutely not. >> kroft: if either michael fassbender or kate winslet win an oscar next sunday, mr. boyle will likely be one of the first people thanked along with aaron sorkin. neither were nominated this year. they all share some disappointment that more people haven't seen "steve jobs," but they all say it's getting harder
7:53 pm
their houses and away from their t.v.s, premium cable and on demand services which is the marketplace "steve jobs" is now moving into hoping to find a brand new audience. >> winslet: it was an amazing experience. i honestly couldn't have cared less if no one ever saw this film, because it was such an amazing experience to be a part of. i mean, there are so many reasons as an actor that i can-- i can march onward in my life and go, stake in the ground, "i'm proud of that." >>announcer: can the steve jobs movie be both truth and fiction? go to 60minutesovertime.com. before i had the shooting, burning, pins-and-needles of diabetic nerve pain, these feet served my country, carried the weight of a family, and walked a daughter down the aisle. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. p so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain.
7:54 pm
nerve pain. r lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions p tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. r rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, r common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, p weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. p don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. p until you know how lyrica those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. tnow i have less diabetic nerve pain. p and my biggest reason to walk calls me grandpa.
7:57 pm
>> anderson cooper: now an update on our story on "lumber liquidators," about how the leading hardwood retailer in the country sold chinese-made laminate flooring that did not meet u.s. health and safety standards and released potentially harmful levels of formaldehyde. after our story aired last march, the consumer product safety commission working with the centers for disease control launched a study of that laminate flooring. this month, the government published its findings. they showed the flooring gave off enough formaldehyde to irritate the eyes, nose and throat and could trigger breathing problems. it also increased cancer risks by a small amount. after the report was published, "60 minutes" was alerted to the possibility that government scientists made a major mathematical mistake in their report. we sent the report to scientists at several universities and discovered the government forgot to convert feet to meters in
7:58 pm
that error means all the predicted formaldehyde levels from lumber liquidators flooring are 3.3 times higher than government scientists calculated, which can amount to more than 18 times higher levels of formaldehyde than those in a normal home, and triple the cancer risk, to a level that is considered unacceptable by national and international health agencies. the centers for disease control has admitted its mistake and issued a correction. the consumer product safety commission is continuing its investigation and told us it is working to provide more specific answers for homeowners about the safety concerns. i'm anderson cooper. we'll be back next week with
7:59 pm
8:00 pm
that's why. [dog whine] shi it is. previously on madam secretary: ellerman: one truckload of spent fuel rods stolen by moldovan thugs with no expertise in handling the material is hardly what i would deem a priority situation. if the uranium comes with its own nuclear physicist to show ' em how to use it... i'd call that getting the most bang for your buck. mom is hosting a conference this week featuring noura al-kitabi. i think we should all go. isn't that the girl who got acid attacked? in saudi arabia, we learned that hizb al-shahid is targeting the family of noura al-kitabi. now you're telling me that that's the same group that was trying to buy the uranium? the conference-- shut it down. now.

8:05 pm
that was stolen in moldova? a different source. my boys secured that shipment. on casualties. 43 wounded, ten critical. that's just from the blast. are being evaluated for radiation poisoning. if elizabeth hadn't ordered the evacuation of the building. is panic. classified as wmds, more like... weapons of mass disruption. i'm aware. an american university. i'd say that's a little more than a disruption. she's right, sir. we can't minimize this. how bad is the radiation? don't know yet. on the bomber. linda peavy, age 22. nsa got into her twitter feed. fingerprints all over it. elizabeth: no, ma'am. apparently she was radicalized but didn't act until now. a sleeper cell of one. that's a chilling thought. who gave her the uranium? unknown. but the man
8:06 pm
he recently emerged as the de facto leader of the organization. and where is he? sanchez: libya. care to elaborate? i wish we could. hs is a new group. information about its leadership and whereabouts are slim. 17 intelligence agencies, almost a million employees, and this is the best we have? yes, mr. president. i'm afraid so. so what's your plan? we follow the uranium. if we can trace the pathway to the bomb, it might lead us to disah. well, get into it with everything you have. i want answers, and fast. the longer we take to respond, the weaker we become. did you get that statement? just sent it. oh, my god, is that your... neighborhood? yeah. we're right inside the exclusion zone. so much for living in a quiet college town. you hear about laura vargas? is she hurt? shrapnel. she's in surgery now.
8:07 pm
nadine: blake is on his way over to st. anne's. there's no word yet. how is the secretary even supposed to function? okay. i know this is... overwhelming. but right now, we need to roll up our sleeves and stay focused. we can start by figuring out where that uranium came from. we know it wasn't domestic. right, it's all tightly controlled. so its was smuggled in. how? well, there are multiple vectors, point of origin. i can get into it with energy and dhs, but it's... it's a scary long list. we can divvy it up. it's the secretary. oh. uh, madam secretary. hey, is everybody there? yes, ma'am. we heard about henry. we're all pulling for him. thank you. um... we ruled out moldova. as the source of the uranium? yes, ma'am. cia thinks that...
8:08 pm
but what if cia is wrong? i mean, could hizb al-shahid have brought the uranium here in time? i'm... not sure that... humor me. considering the time elapsed between the theft and, uh, the detonation? yes. it's theoretically possible. excuse me, excuse me. move, move, move, move, move. uh, coming through, coming through. state department. thanks. mccords. hi. do you have information about a... (helicopter blades whirring, sirens wailing) (indistinct conversations) excuse me. mccords? mccord? no. one squeeze every half minute, okay? thank you. oh, mccord children. thank god. you guys all right? where's... where-where's your dad? jason: no clue.
8:09 pm
will tell us anything. um... wait here, okay? hey, excuse me, ma'am, uh, about a patient. a henry mccord. mccord. i don't have him. he's in the hiu. what does that mean? it means uh, i'm sorry. the records were falsified. talking about? the manifest for the truck in moldova was a fiction, perpetrated by the same corrupt inspector who arranged the theft. how the hell did we miss that? well, apparently cia took the stats at face value. how much uranium is missing? elizabeth: eight kilograms. enough for up to three additional bombs. sanchez: which, for all we know, are already here. at least tell me we have some targeting data. no, sir. not yet. madam secretary,
8:10 pm

sir, we need you. henry would never forgive me if i left now. dalton: what is it? we caught a break. this is security footage of linda peavy outside a coffee shop five blocks from the conference. it's a dead drop. the dirty bomb is in that backpack. and this is the man who left it for her ten minutes earlier. do we know who he is? facial recognition identified him as munthir tuwala, an agricultural attach\ at the saudi arabian embassy. a saudi diplomat did this? tuwala entered the united states by car early yesterday morning from quebec after a flight to montreal from bucharest. elizabeth: which is only about 200 miles from the moldovan border. our working theory is he was able to use his diplomatic pouch to smuggle the nuclear material into the country. son of a bitch
8:16 pm
dalton: where's tuwala now? at work, at the saudi embassy on new hampshire avenue. where we have no jurisdiction. marguerite, deploy an fbi tac team to the embassy. general kohl, i want the national guard providing backup. right away. yes, sir. bess, summon the saudi ambassador. yes, sir, right away. madam secretary, it's henry. oh, please. baby? hey. uh, hey, they finally gave me my phone call. oh, my god, it is so good to hear your voice. how are you feeling? i'm a little woozy. the worst part is this prussian blue stuff they have me on. it tastes like paint. well, because it-it is. i mean, literally made from paint. i looked it up. okay, you didn't have to tell me that. you're one to talk, mr. fun fact. baby, i want to be with you so much. you can't, without

listen, right now your place is with the president. uh-oh. okay, listen. i got to go. medical experiments on me. get there as soon as i can. i love you so... i love you too. madam secretary, i'm as horrified by this as you are. good. because the fbi is gonna be at your embassy to pick up mr. tuwala in five minutes. i understand your urgency, but inside our embassy gates, munthir tuwala is on sovereign saudi soil. i have no authority to hand him to you, not without official proceedings. well, you can't seriously think that we're gonna sit around and wait for you to talk about it? you must respect our process. you're harboring the known perpetrator
8:18 pm
so let me lay out our process: you're gonna open your gates and hand over tuwala, or we're gonna break them down. madam secretary, that would be an act of war. it sure would be. you have four minutes. (sirens wailing) (indistinct chatter) this is your last chance to surrender munthir tuwala! you have to wait. we must have permission from the king. we have our orders. you cannot enter. we will resist. open the gates now. up there! on the roof! someone get on the roof! freeze! it's tuwala! someone stop him!

much more cooperative. ambassador asim has assured me that their entire government is behind our investigation. all it took was a diplomatic terrorist face-planting on new hampshire avenue. where are we, ephraim? moving into position outside munthir tuwala's apartment here in dc. sir, we have an update on the uranium. what is it? my team found a lead-lined canister in a dumpster near the embassy. it tested positive for the same radioisotope signature as the uranium used in the bomb. combined with our analysis of the material at ground zero, we are now confident that tuwala used his entire supply, approximately two kilograms, on the device that detonated in virginia. what about the rest of the stolen uranium? cia is into it, but the trail is pretty cold. not exactly the stuff of lullabies. our current thinking is that it's still overseas. " our current thinking" ? nirt team just gave the all clear. we're ready to go, mr. president. let's do it. apollo team in position. standing by for green.

go, go, go. go, go, go! (clicking) there it is. (clicking) clear! eagle, it's empty. guy pulled up stakes. nothing but an air mattress. copy, apollo. so much for leads. all along. mr. president, everything they have on the terrorist organization hizb al-shahid. including a cell phone intercept, with a recording of disah's voice. alleged voice. we don't have any recordings of him in our files. but if it is him, we have a target. yes, sir. nsa says the signal originated here, at a compound near sirte. i took the liberty to deploy drones, just in case we get confirmation. and i'll reach out to our nato allies,
8:25 pm
the national response protocols, including the order to shelter in place. yes, mr. president. sir, if that's the case... go. thank you. godspeed. italy, in theory, they've been sharing everything they have on hizb al-shahid, right? all of our nato allies have been alerted. and ambassador civarelli responded that he doesn't have anything. which is hard to believe, with libya right in their backyard. not to mention the hostages. what hostages? (sighs) in principle, italy is like us-- they don't negotiate with terrorists. in practice... they've been paying ransom to extremist groups for years. and you think hizb al-shahid is one of ' em? cia has reports of two hostages from libya who were freed only last week. daisy: france, spain, austria-- a lot of our allies pay for hostages. not from libya. and that's hizb al-shahid's hub. matt: well, if italy's dealt with them, they have intel they're withholding. look, if i'm wrong, we risk offending an ally who needs us more than we need them. but if i'm right...

8:27 pm
hi. sorry. i'm sorry. hey. did you see dad? he's sleeping. we're gonna go see him when he wakes up, okay? is he gonna be okay? oh, baby, i don't know. i'm sorry. i thought religion was the opiate of the masses. it is. but sometimes you need a good hit. (sighs) (keys clacking sound effect) nadine: hey there. huh? oh. hey. everything all right? yeah. i'm just, um.... i'm looking for a place to crash tonight. i thought the perimeter was lifted. oh, it was.
8:28 pm
i'm just not ready for my apartment. i got this thing about dust, so... okay then. i would ask jay, but he's got the baby. and... (phone chimes) daisy would be... no. and blake's studio is about this size of one of his pocket squares. so i-i am about five minutes away from a desperation move on tinder. you could have asked me. thanks, but i'm allergic to cats. i don't have a cat. really? are you sure? ' cause i-i could have sworn you ha... you think i'm a cat lady? no. ha. no. of course not. i would, uh... i don't know why i said that. i'll text you the address.

allow me to present italy's condolences to the people of the united states. very kind of you. thank you. listen, let me ask, when i took this job, did you, by chance, read my bio? the blurb on state's web site? yes, of course. you worked at cia with president dalton and... right. and my-my uncle died on the beach at anzio. william adams. yes. he was 18 years old. my brother is named after him. and my country is eternally grateful, for him and for every american who died to save us from fascism. and yet when we were attacked, you held out on us. i don't know what you mean. your government has been paying for hostages in libya. the cia has identified two being held by hizb al-shahid in al wahat. you have intelligence you're not sharing. the official policy of my government... i've had enough of official policy today. i mean, have you looked around? do you see what's happened here? well, libya is already a failed state.
8:30 pm
hurtling towards refugees? that's your excuse? well, i assure you it is a serious concern for the italian people, not to mention our national security. it's funny you should bring up security. because maybe if we stop the people who attacked us, then your voters kidnapped. well, it's never that simple. mmm, hardly. i agree. but sometimes it is. that we think is jibral disah. all we need is confirmation. secretary mccord, your husband is awake. he's asking for you. i trust that your government's gonna do the right thing. the doctor will be with you in a minute. hey. hi. hi. finally! people without needles and pills! we love you! hi. secretary mccord, i have the results of your husband's bioassay. henry's exposure was limited
