Burnt Shadows

Raza watches a helicopter leave the A&G compound, carrying Harry’s body back to the United States. Raza assumes that the Afghan gunman was part of the group who came to pledge allegiance. Raza heads back to his room and longs for home, thinking of Karachi before the violence of the last 20 years.

Raza asks Steve to go to New York, as Kim promised to delay the funeral until he could arrive. Steve refuses to let Raza go and asks Raza why he thinks the TCN are loyal to A&G. Raza says that the TCN are desperate for money and loyal to one another. Steve asks Raza about his own allegiance, noting that Raza could get a high-paid job in translation anywhere he wanted, and Raza says that he was loyal to Harry. Steve tells Raza that he was there when Raza blamed Harry for Sajjad’s death and accuses Raza of signaling the gunman to fire, misinterpreting Raza’s signal to the cricket players. Steve also knows about Raza’s call to the mujahideen commander, who is in fact a known supporter of the Taliban, and heard Ismail call Raza “Raza Hazara” on the phone. Steve threatens to track down Ismail if Raza doesn’t confess.
