By Megyn | Season 4 | Episode 13 | Aired on 02.03.2001
We see Leroy counseling another gang member and convincing him to take off his hat. We see Said and Arif standing on the landing above, witnessing the whole thing. Arif: "Salah is making another convert." Said agrees that he's doing a great job. All Salah got him to do was take off his hat. Maybe giving fashion advice is the first step. I don't know. Cut to library. Robson and Hoyt find Leroy and ask what the hell is taking so long to kill Said. He says Hoyt is starting to feel the "clock is running out." Hoyt punctuates this by saying "tick tock, tick tock." Hoyt really adds to the scene by…oh wait, I'm sorry, he actually doesn't. Leroy first corrects them by saying that his name isn't Leroy…it's Salah. Then he tells them he now serves Said, and won't be killing him after all. Robson tells him he doesn't have a mind. He "has shit-for-brains." He tells him he can't back out on "the brotherhood." A hack turns up, which surprises the hell out of me, and breaks it up.
In the storage room, Sal-eroy tells Said his soul is heavy. Said: "So, talk to me." Sal-eroy: "I'm afraid." Said tells him to never be afraid of the truth, and encourages him to spill it. Sal-eroy admits that, in the beginning, he lied about wanting to join the Upright Muslims Brigade. He admits he had "vengeance in his heart because of what you did, killing Adebesi…but then the bliss of Allah replaced the vengeance." Said: "I knew, the day I embraced you, that you were lying." "You did?" He asks why, and Said tells him Allah put them together in "this time and place" to learn from each other. He talks of his wanting to help Adebesi, and the demons he struggles with since killing him. Sal-eroy confesses that Robson and Hoyt want Said dead. Said knows this too. Sal-eroy asks what they should do. Said says to leave it in the hands of God. Said leaves to allow Leroy to change into his red shirt.
Unit B. Robson ordering his new boy wonder to do a deed…or said boy will be fed to the other Aryans. If the boy does it, he becomes one of the brotherhood. Boy agrees.
Cafeteria. We see Said in line and Boy Wonder watching him. Leroy notes the shanks being slowly pulled out of Boy's pants and lunges forward, putting himself between Said and the blade. Said holds onto Leroy as he sags to the ground. A fight erupts.
Said's pod. Arif enters to find Said on the floor. He tells him Salah is dead. Said doesn't look surprised as he says, "I killed him, you know. I killed him like I killed Adebesi…I might as well have put the knife into him myself." Arif tries to reassure him. Said tells him to leave him. "My demons need freedom." Arif pauses, and Said yells for him to leave. Arif leaves; Said sobs.
