Sleeper Cell

A federal agent goes undercover in Los Angeles to try and infiltrate a group of Islamic terrorists. Darwyn al-hakim finds an Islamic extremist guy named Farik. Farik asks him the join Sleeper Cell's plan to attack Los Angeles.

Farik recruits another Cell member, bio-chemical student Eddy Pangetsu, to test the anthrax that he and Ilija have received. Darwyn learns that the Cell is planning an anthrax attack inside a mall and tries to inform the FBI of where and when but it turns out the anthrax was fake and just a rehearsal. The FBI pulls back just before they blow Darwyn’s cover.

Farik sends bio-chemical student Eddy Pangetsu (from episode 2) to Vancouver, Canada to bring back anthrax that he has acquired with Ilija as his escort on the flight. When Farik is at LAX, he also observes a moderate religious scholar from Yemen, Abdal Malik arriving inside the terminal. Eddy drives the anthrax back in an RV with a mother and children who pose as his family across the Canadian/U.S. border. Back in Los Angeles, Farik sends Darwyn and Tommy to assassinate Abdal Malik, whose peaceful teachings are turning extremists away from terrorism, but Fuller sends in an FBI decoy to foil the plan. Eddy drives the RV to a deserted canyon but when Farik goes to retrieve the hidden anthrax it is not there. Convinced he has been betrayed, Farik executes Eddy and dumps the RV off the side of the cliff. In the meantime, Christian was sent as a back up assassin and kills Abdal Malik.

After the anthrax plot has been spoiled on Farik's watch, he now has to prove that he is still the right leader for Youmud Din. Darwyn tells Fuller that Farik could be planning a suicide attack or car bombing, but he’s not sure. Ilija, meanwhile introduces himself to Ken Bin Al-Waleed, a white, American-Muslim, who trains insurgents to fight in Iraq at a converted warehouse downtown. Farik and the Cell members take over the facility and kill Ken after he refuses to join their cause.

Darwyn befriends Ernest Jefferson, a pesticide plant worker, in order to acquire some of the company's product under the table for the Cell. Tommy's estranged mother Lynne is in town, but she gets along much better with Christian than her son. Visiting home for the first time in awhile, Darwyn becomes concerned about his own mother's financial situation. Meanwhile, Ilija's burgeoning relationship hits the wall when he learns the girl is an orthodox Serb like those who wiped out his family. Darwyn catches a lead on Farik's true identity.
