Bob.
What do you know about torture methods...
...used by the Chinese on the Falun Gong?
Method number one.
What's your guess?
Water dungeon.
Did you guess water dungeon?
Number two method?
Number two, twisting arm and putting face in feces.
Not interested in two.
Number three.
Number three is called...
..."pulling nails from fingers."
What do you think, Bob?
Number three sound good to you?
The purpose is to get the monks or whatever...
...to recant their beliefs.
What if I had to get you to recant?
That'd be pretty difficult, right?
Because...
...if you have no beliefs to recant, then what?
Well, then, you're fucked is what.
Bob.
You're gonna give me the names...
...of every person that's taken money from you.
Oh, that is disgusting.
Come on, Jimmy, you're not a Koran-thumper.
My name is Mussawi.
You fucking fuck, fucking fuck, stupid fuck!
What the fuck? This is a war.
Fuck! You're a PO-fucking-W! Give me the fucking names!
Fuck it.
I'm cutting his fucking head off.
I'm gonna cut your head off, Bob.
Said Hashimi is very angry with you, Mussawi.
Said Hashimi keeps his word.
You're a guest of Hezbollah too, Mussawi.
I'm going to show you something really cool.
American-made. Good quality...
...but nearly impossible to hit anything.
By shaping the charge...
...this will send a blast of molten copper...
...through 30 inches of steel.
Careful!
It's very dangerous.
Jane.
We've just received a dispatch from Damascus, eight minutes old.
Mussawi's shopping a story that we sent Bob to Beirut...
...to assassinate Prince Nasir.
We better go talk to Terry.
Can we get this guy? I mean now, real-time now.
-Mussawi? -I'll call you back.
The practical answer is no. Not before he goes into another mosque...
...or a newspaper and the story gains traction. No.
-He have Bob's name? -Not his real name.
Mussawi's shopping photos of them doing the deal, long lens.
Photos of Bob being held. We're lucky this guy is alive.
The whole contact was a setup. Mussawi now apparently works with Iran.
First he tortures our guy, then he peddles the CIA connection.
Put some space between us and Bob.
Bob has a long history of entrepreneurial operations.
We haven't really had a handle on Bob for years.
After 9/11, some people got leeway, let their emotions get the best of them.
These are complex times.
There's already an active investigation into Bob's activities in-- Help me out here.
Tehran, the Amiri brothers job.
We're finding out who hired Bob for the Amiri brothers job.
Could the same people be behind the Nasir job?
A lot of people probably want this Nasir dead...
...and Bob knows lots of people. Fill in the rest.
Send me everything.
Walter Reed Hospital Washington, DC
You first established contact with the Amiri brothers in 1998?
Yeah.
-You met them at a party in France? -Yes.
A party given by Reza Reyhani?
Reza, yes.
Were you aware they were in illegal arms trade?
Of course I was aware. That's why I went.
Were you aware these two men were Iranian intelligence officers?
-What do you think? -This is a diplomatic incident.
Two men have been murdered.
We've been tasked with the damage assessment.
We'll need you to turn your passport over to us.
Passports.
Hey.
Hey, I found this.
Wire transfer.
In Russian. I don't speak Russian.
Get it translated.
Do you speak Russian?
-These are dead. -Oh, thanks.
What are these?
Orphans. You know, things that don't make any sense.
That one's pretty interesting.
The Lily School. It's a boarding school in Switzerland.
Paid for by wire transfer.
The meeting's already started. You're not on the list.
This is not an open function. You're not wearing a badge.
You don't have a wristband.
This is a private gathering.
Take this to Sydney Hewitt.
They are pushing for the segregation of universities.
Please.
And the banning of the wearing of colorful clothing.
But two-thirds of Iran's population is under 30.
How you doing?
More than 60 percent of university students are women.
And those restrictions are like a small pebble...
...in front of a massive tidal wave of reform.
Iranian resources are abundant...
...and given the chance, there is no limit...
...to what the Iranian people can achieve.
Their hopes are the same as all people in every land...
...to live lives of dignity in a nation at peace.
And America will help them.
Killen Oil, through Daniel Dalton and Petroika Energy Consultants...
...created assetless shell companies...
...owned by the heirs of Nurzan Detayev...
...Republic of Kazakhstan's minister of Domestic Resources.
This was discussed at the Upstream Division meeting...
...in January, 2003 in Sun Valley, Idaho.
I was at the meeting, but I don't focus on those details.
Wherein it was described that Killen bore all financial risk...
...but Minister Detayev's children, while attending The Lily School in Switzerland...
...were entitled to all of the profits. Seventy million dollars.
I attended the meeting, but as I said, I don't focus on those kind of details.
Further, Daniel Dalton Jr. and Petroika Energy Consultants colluded--
A firm retained by Killen prior to Connex's involvement.
Oh, for chrissake, Tommy. We both got letters from the grand jury.
-It's not your own private pity party. -A good faith purchaser is in good faith...
...only if they didn't know of the problems at the time of the purchase.
This is the oil business we're talking about?
Lowliest little shareholder knows we deal with the most stank places on earth.
And it is illegal to offer gifts, money...
...the promise of money or anything of value to influence foreign officials.
Is it?
I have personally seen a bill from your law firm...
...to the government of Saudi Arabia for $36 million.
A one-line bill for "services rendered."
The business of Whiting Sloan is not under discussion at this time.
Well, it ought to be.
Danny's a good man.
And he's a friend of mine.
A Mareva injunction?
Some people, cousins of mine, actually, sued my father in the Commonwealth...
Geneva, Switzerland
...alleging he broke an agreement to repay funds from the state.
It calls them "aggrieved royals." Aggrieved about what?
That he tried to cut their allowances from 100,000 a month to 80?
I want to see my father.
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
Your father is not feeling well.
My cousins aren't bright enough to be anything but finger puppets...
...and my brother has faith only in his own cunning.
What do you suppose they're up to, my brother and these American lawyers?
Tell me...
...what are they thinking?
What are they thinking?
They're thinking that it's running out.
It's running out.
And 90 percent of what's left is in the Middle East.
Look at the progression.
Versailles, Suez, 1973, Gulf War One, Gulf War Two.
This is a fight to the death.
So, what are they thinking? "Great."
They're thinking, "Keep playing, keep buying yourself new toys.
Keep spending $50,000 a night on your hotel room.
But don't invest in your infrastructure.
Don't build a real economy."
So that when you finally wake up, they will have sucked you dry...
...and you will have squandered the greatest natural resource in history.
Come with me, please.
I studied at Oxford. I have a Ph.D. from Georgetown.
I want to create a parliament.
I want to give women the right to vote.
I want an independent judiciary.
I want to start a petroleum exchange in the Middle East...
...cut the speculators out of the business.
Why are the major oil exchanges in London and New York anyway?
I'll put all of our energy up for competitive bidding.
I'll run pipe through Iran to Europe, like you proposed.
I'll ship to China.
Anything that achieves efficiency and maximizes profit.
Profit which I will then use to rebuild my country.
-Great, that's exactly what you should do. -Exactly.
Except your president rings my father and says:
"I've got unemployment in Texas, Kansas, Washington state."
A phone call later, we're stealing out of our social programs...
...in order to buy overpriced airplanes.
We owed the Americans, but we've repaid that debt.
I accepted a Chinese bid, the highest bid...
...and suddenly I'm a terrorist. I'm a godless communist.
Dean Whiting...
...who represents not only these aggrieved royals and my brother...
...but also Connex Oil...
...they've been pressuring my father to invalidate the Chinese contract.
But they underestimate him.
This is about his legacy to his people.
I know it seems like people sitting in hotel rooms.
That's how they do business.
But we're-- We're talking world historical stage here.
I mean, with the-- With the delivery deals we could make in Europe...
...transport through Iran.
This guy might be able to revolutionize not just his country, but the whole region.
As soon as his father keels over, this guy could be like Mossadegh in '52...
...in Iran. The real democracy rising up organically.
If we can be a part of any of these countries...
...getting a parliament, helping them find efficiency, showing--
-You know, showing them how-- -Stop it. Stop it.
Julie, the little company that I started working for...
...is now chief economic adviser to Prince Nasir.
Do you understand what that means?
It's like...
...somebody put a giant ATM on our front lawn.
Here's a question:
How do you think it looks to profit off the death of your 6-year-old?
Fuck you.
I changed the diapers. I put cream on rashes.
I took him to his checkups.
I cared about every fucking percentile.
I did everything right. I did everything right.
We're going back to the States.
Good.
Riley?
Sweetie, sweetie, be careful.
We're gonna go now, okay?
You wanna say goodbye to your dad?
You can see him later, okay?
When I die I want the people who inherit my possessions to do the following.
One...
...the people who prepare my body should be good Muslims...
...so this will remind me of God and his forgiveness.
Two...
...I don't want anyone to rip their clothes or slap their faces...
...because this is an ignorant thing to do.
Three...
...I don't want a pregnant woman to come and say goodbye to me...
...because I don't approve it.
Four....
Some trust-fund prosecutor got off message at Yale...
...thinks he's gonna run this up the flagpole?
Make a name for himself?
Maybe get elected some two-bit congressman from nowhere...
...with the result that China or Russia...
...can suddenly start having, at our expense...
...all the advantages we enjoy here?
No, I tell you. No, sir.
Corruption charges. Corruption?
Corruption is government intrusion...
...into market efficiencies in the form of regulation.
That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize.
We have laws against it precisely so we can get away with it.
Corruption is our protection.
Corruption keeps us safe and warm!
Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here...
...instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the street.
Corruption is why we win.
How'd it go?
Well, he's got kids, a wife.
He broke the law.
Mr. Janus himself wanted me to extend you an invitation...
...to Oilman of the Year.
He's being honored...
...so it should be a nice weekend.
Relax. Catch yourself a massage.
Congratulations.
-Is Jane in? -She's in a meeting.
How about Fred?
He's in a meeting.
Bennett, hey.
Come on, take a ride with me.
Do I have a choice, Don?
Of course you do. This is just a courtesy call.
I know you know about the crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege.
I do, Don. Very well.
Then you also know your client is into some shady stuff...
...and it's starting to look like you could be involved...
...in hiding the true nature of the transactions.
That's quite a statement, Don.
One word:
Dalton.
Danny Dalton?
Defrauded the government of Kazakhstan of funds to which it was entitled.
Defrauded the people of Kazakhstan of the right to the honest services...
...of their elected and appointed officials.
Seven years. Does three, maybe two and a half...
-...on your recommendation. -Now, let me guess.
This was a solo act, without the knowledge of Connex or Killen Oil...
...and Mr. Lee Janus or Jimmy Pope.
Dalton's a bit of a rogue, it's true.
And he'll have a nice little trust fund when he gets out.
Not so little, I imagine.
Look, Don, we can spend the next five years in court...
...to get back to the very place that we're at right now.
And they will fight tough.
They'll fight dirty.
They'll pressure your boss...
...the people who appointed your boss...
...the wives of the people who appointed your boss.
And you will never hit them any harder than this, and you know it.
I'm sorry, Bennett.
I don't think Dalton's enough.
What are you looking at, man?
-I didn't say anything. -That's because you have nothing to say.
You fucking asshole.
There we go.
Okay, pal.
Come on. Yeah, I know. I know, I know, I know.
-Hey, Fred! -You've been such a good boy.
Fred.
Hey, Bob.
There you go, pal. I tell you what, Katie, take that in.
Hey, Jack. Your sister.
You first.
Take the kids inside. I'll be right in, okay?
What's going on, Fred?
It's okay. Be in in a sec.
FBI's got it, Bob. That's pretty clear.
Nothing I can do, you know it. It's a criminal investigation.
-Two men were killed. -I was almost killed.
Now they're asking me questions about the Amiri brothers, about Tehran.
Understand, this wrecks careers. I shouldn't even be talking to you.
I punched in "Prince Nasir Al-Subaai," and my computer gets seized.
Where'd that job come from? Where did the Nasir job come from?
I'm advising you to drop it.
Why am I being investigated?
Why am I being investigated, Fred?
Goodbye, Bob.
It's okay. Hey, hey.
What's up?
If I truly lack faith...
...then I am not the right person.
The questioning means that you have faith...
...and makes it stronger.
That's a lot of shit, I think.
We'll be able to intervene in the affairs of family members.
We'll be able to help them with whatever they need.
You'll be able to get your mother here.
Please.
I am tired.
Father...
...who will be emir?
Your brother.
Praise be to God.
I would ask you to remain as foreign minister.
You cannot do this.
He is barely qualified to run a brothel, much less a country.
I like Europe.
I will be happy to stay here.
My decision is final...
...and I ask you to support your brother.
I cannot do that.
For centuries Arabs have been ruled by people with no respect for law...
...monopolies handed out for the things that people want...
...commerce stifled, young people unable to find jobs.
Anyone who criticizes is thrown in jail...
...or put to death.
And women...
...are treated as second-class citizens.
The coronation is tomorrow, and your brother has the support of the Americans.
And 10,000 of their troops are stationed in our country.
True.
My father is ill and weak, and unwilling to oppose the Americans.
But others are willing.
When a country has 5 percent of the world's population...
...but does 50 percent of its military spending...
...then the persuasive powers of that country are on the decline.
They're worried.
About fallout. They're worried...
...you might wanna talk about it.
But if you're already under investigation....
What about Mussawi?
He's a soldier.
He's just like you.
Why are they doing a damage assessment on the Amiris and on me for doing my job?
This is about our interests in the region.
So if Prince Nasir won't allow our military bases in his country...
...and his little brother will...
...well, we'll probably have to do something about that.
Who's worried about the Nasir job?
Who's worried about me talking?
Stan.
Who's worried?
Hello?
Hello, is this Mr. Whitting?
This is Homeseal Security.
Yes, this is Mr. Whiting.
Hi, we're showing a motion-sensor failure in your downstairs study.
Yes?
Like I said, we're getting a failure message.
Want me to stay on the phone while you walk around, or send a car?
I'll walk around.
Everything seems fine.
How are we doing, Mr. Whiting?
Everything's fine.
-The door's unlocked. -Did you leave it unlocked?
Send a car, you imbecile.
You were in Beirut in '84.
I lost friends there...
...as I'm sure you did.
I got a peek at your file. You're a good man.
One whose experience is narrow and deep.
Your entire career...
...you've been used.
And probably never even known what for.
I didn't use to need to know.
In this town, you're innocent until you're investigated.
Innocent until investigated? That's nice. It's got a nice ring to it.
I bet you've worn some miles on little sayings like that.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -No.
Gives the listener the sense of the law being written as it's spoken.
If anything happens to me or my family...
...an accident, an accusation, anything...
...then, first, your son will disappear.
His body will never be found. Then your wife.
Her body will never be found either. Now, this is guaranteed.
Then whatever is the most dangerous thing that you do...
...it might be flying in a small plane...
...might be walking to the bank...
...you'll be killed.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I want you to acknowledge that you do understand...
...so that we're clear and there won't be any mistakes.
Beirut rules, Mr. Barnes?
I want my passports back.
We are a small group...
...the ones who carry convictions and ambitions.
And within this group...
...there is another, smaller group...
...who flee from the worldly life...
...in order to spread the true faith.
You're ready.
Connex-Killen Oil announces the gift of a new children's hospital...
...to be built in honor of the new emir.
I wanted to be on a bobsled in the Olympics.
What's a bobsled?
Wasim knows what a bobsled is.
Papa, I need to ask you....
Tell him about the bobsled!
Tell him what a bobsled is.
It's a little car.
A little car that goes down a track of ice and snow.
Papa, may I borrow some money for the bus?
Oh, how the snow sparkles, the crunch of it under your feet....
Dalton's not enough.
I would be real careful.
You dig a 6-foot hole, you'll find three bodies.
But you dig 12, and maybe you'll find 40.
China's economy ain't growing as fast as it could...
...because they can't get all the oil they need.
Now, I'm damn proud of that fact.
We need another body, Mr. Pope.
What if--?
What if it involved somebody at your firm?
Someone way the hell above you.
We'd have to have an understanding.
Well...
...if....
If he's as big as you say...
...then when he goes down, the merger will be approved.
Just like that?
We're looking for the illusion of due diligence, Mr. Pope.
Two criminal acts successfully prosecuted...
...it gives us that illusion.
Call me Jimmy.
He's a visionary. He's like Faisal or Atatürk. The people love him. And he's--
The country's gonna be his by Monday.
It's not like you guys have backed the wrong horse here.
No, no. No, look, he's got nine of 11 generals.
We're on our way to the palace right now. This is really happening.
Silver Range Rover.
With a sunroof.
Silver Range Rover, sunroof, fourth from lead.
-Guys, help me out here. -It's coming now.
His wife will be there. Pat.
This is good.
You done good.
Lee, you have guests.
-Syd. -Leland.
-Bennett Holiday. -How are you, sir?
-Lee Janus. How are we doing? -Well.
Those number crunchers can get a little overzealous, can't they?
Christ, when we write the GAAP rules like some sort of abstract painting...
...you stare at that liability hard enough...
...and before long, it'll turn into an asset.
No, thank you.
-You don't drink? -No.
It is really beautiful out here.
-What is that? -What?
In front of them.
The Bedouin always have right of way.
Lawyers say, "If you can't trust a Big Five accounting firm...."
The accountants say, "We're not lawyers."
Legal didn't understand. Accounting didn't understand.
Nobody understood anything. Regulatory bodies scratched their heads...
...that nobody at Connex or Killen was at fault.
But this merger is so balance-positive for American consumers...
...that, ultimately, Justice wants it.
Federal courts want it. Everybody wants it.
Our real client, after all, is us, the American people.
And we are increasing American access to oil in Kazakhstan.
So all they ask is that we give them a little something meaningful...
...which we did.
And they got out of our way.
Something besides Dalton?
Unfortunately, yes.
And the best option seemed to be...
...a secret deal for excess Iranian pipeline capacity...
...that I uncovered during the diligence.
A little side deal benefiting the lead lawyer...
...involved in the Connex-Killen merger approval process.
What...
...do you think you're doing?
It's illegal for an American to control these rights.
Stop right now.
Is there...
...something that you wanna tell me, Syd?
Connex/ Al-Salwa LNG loading facility The Persian Gulf
Good afternoon.
I wanna thank our host for a wonderful spread.
The strawberry juice is delicious.
Let me just say, on behalf of Connex-Killen...
...how pleased we are to be back in the Gulf.
Your Highness? Why don't you ride together.
Oh, thank you, Bryan.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...this year's Oilman of the Year:
Mr. Leland Janus of Connex-Killen.
Who the hell is that?
Excuse me. Hey, are you seeing that?
Hey!
Could you tell who that is?
Hey! Hey!
No, no, no! No!
-Take the target out. -Roger.
Four miles.
Two miles.
Rumors of Bob, but never Bob.
It is "Bob," right?
What is it you tell people you do these days, Bob?
Between State Department and Defense.
You're the Canadian.
It's just me, buddy.
As requested.
Target destroyed.
I'm gonna get some information out, Jimmy.
23:44 EDT.
-My name is Mussawi. -Okay, Jimmy.
He's traveling in Beirut.
I'd like to accept this award...
It's dangerous to travel. He'll disappear.
...on behalf of the employees of Connex-Killen.
Our people, the finest in the world.
Take him from his hotel, drug him, put him in the front of a car...
...and run a truck into him at 50 miles an hour.
Guys, could I get you to stand up for a moment? Please stand up.
Connex-Killen.
It's good to have you back in town, Bob.
We begin the process of empowering a new generation of Arabs....
Beirut.
No, no. He invited me to come with him.
I think he thinks he's some kind of reformer or something.
And I'd also like to thank...
...our strategic friends from around the globe who are here tonight.
Anyway, he's got a nice private plane.
Most especially...
Hold on, Vincent.
...Emir Meshal Al-Subaai.
Emir. Thank you so much.
Hey.
Beirut? It's great. It's like the....
It's like the Paris of the Middle East.
Yeah, it's like-- It's like winning the NIT.
--however, unlike Washington's Greater Middle East Initiative...
It's a bad-- Just never mind, never mind.
...we respect each country's right to move at its own pace.
Make room.
American?
Canadian.
Don't see many Occidentals these days.
It's too bad.
During the funeral...
...I want everyone to be quiet...
...and I should be lying on my right side.
You should throw dust on my body three times while saying:
"From the dust we are created...
...and to dust we return.
From the dust a new person will be created. "
Go, go, go.
Everyone should mention that I died pure of heart...
...and that the next world is the true life.
The next world is the true life.
-This is November, '94. -Yeah. Excellent, excellent.
Come on, man.
-Did you find the others? -I couldn't. Joe's looking for it.
Leave the beer.
-He'll bring it out when he does. -Where is he?
He's back there looking. He'll bring them out.
Okay. Thank you, Susan.
Hello?
Yeah.
Who's this?
Yeah. Okay.
How you doing, sir?
Somebody called me.
