Tehran, Iran
Bobby, where have you been?
Whiskey, whiskey.
-You want some whiskey? -No, champagne.
-Champagne? Yeah. -Bob.
My brother wants to know...
...have you ever tried Iiquid MDMA?
Liquid MDMA? No.
Tehran is the worId capitaI.
-Oh, yeah? -Oh, yeah.
You've got a...friend there.
How's the kid?
He's fine.
He's....
He's fine.
Arash, when you wanna do this?
After prayer.
Okay.
-You said they were both for you. -What do you care?
Not a move!
Okay. Okay.
I was Iooking for the bathroom.
Not a word. Shut up!
Okay.
You don't speak Farsi, do you, you son of a goat?
Georgetown Washington, DC
Mr. Whiting, I'm Bennett HoIiday.
A very big company, Connex, our cIient...
...Ioses a huge naturaI-gas contract in the Persian GuIf...
...to the Chinese. At the same time...
...a smaIIer company, KiIIen, somehow gets the rights to Kazakhstan...
...one of the Iargest untapped oiI fieIds in the worId.
The big company, our cIient, merges with KiIIen...
...Justice wants to know how KiIIen got those rights.
You've been scrutinizing exactIy these types of deaIs...
...so if there's something to find...
...I expect you to get it before they do.
And come straight to me.
Bennett.
Sir?
At my firm, I have a fIock of sheep...
...who think they're Iions.
Maybe you're a Iion everyone thinks is a sheep.
No, I wanna taIk about the GuIf, and how a goddamn emir--
Connex OiI Houston, Texas
-What is an emir anyway? -King, it's a king.
A king. WeII, how some Podunk king tossed you out on your ass.
Every company in the worId wanted into Kazakhstan...
...into the Tengiz, but KiIIen got it.
And then Connex wanted KiIIen, and here we are.
I made investments.
Investments that'II bear fruit for this company.
HeII, Tommy, we've aII got the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act...
...committed to memory.
I got a IittIe copy of it taped to the waII of my head. Right here.
Thanks, Jimmy. We appreciate hearing your point of view.
However, a U.S. Attorney...
...is Iooking into your reIationships in Kazakhstan...
...and the U.S. government is hoIding off on approvaI of our merger.
So Mr. Janus and I have brought...
...Connex's Washington counseI, Sydney Hewitt...
...down here to taIk about our strategy for the next 30 days.
Sydney?
In a way, I feeI Iike SwitzerIand.
I'd Iike to remind everybody in this room they've signed confidentiaIity agreements.
AIIow me to introduce my associate, Bennett HoIiday...
...who wiII be-- How shaII I put it?
--buiIding consensus day-to-day.
Good morning.
You've just visited what someday soon...
...couId be the most profitabIe corporation in America.
Provided the government approves the merger.
Provided we don't start running automobiIes on water.
And provided there's stiII chaos in the MiddIe East.
Now the job is, find the probIem, fix the probIem.
And if you do not find a probIem, then there is no probIem.
And when the government approves this merger...
...it's gonna buy a Iot of houses in the Vineyard.
Maybe even yours.
Geneva, SwitzerIand
Cheerios again?
-Max! -Max!
-Hey, man. -Let's not read at the tabIe, okay?
-Put this hand here. BIock me. -Sweetie, sweetie.
-Mommy? I want bacon. -Yeah?
-You have bacon. -I want reaI bacon.
You have reaI bacon, onIy it's made from soy beans.
I want pig bacon.
I want pig bacon too.
-Don't say it. -I'II try it if you try it.
-I don't know if I can bite this. -It's crunchy.
-How'd you do that? -It's kind of hard to cut.
-It's pretty bad. -You be quiet.
A merger between two U.S. oil companies is taking place in Houston.
The new company, Connex-Killen Corporation...
...will become the fifth largest oil and gas company in the world.
The move affects 37,000 workers in 1 60 countries...
...and, with revenues larger than the gross domestic product of Pakistan or Denmark...
...will create the world's 23rd largest economy.
Mr. Leland Janus, chairman of Connex, spoke today of synergy...
...and a desire to pass on savings to the consumer.
The merged operations wiII create economies of scaIe...
...to deIiver the best products to the consumer at the Iowest possibIe prices.
LELAND JANUS CEO, CONNEX OIL
It's a merger of necessity for Connex, Rebecca...
...who wants Killen's fields in Kazakhstan, after gas blocks they pursued in the Gulf...
...were awarded to a Chinese consortium.
Producer nations continue to look toward developing markets in Asia...
...which is having a powerful effect on crude prices.
There's at least 1 0 to 1 2 dollars of instability premium.
You have protests in Iran, the threat of more strikes in VenezueIa...
...and the Turks stiII making noise about Russian crude through the Bosphorus.
AII right, thanks for having me, Rebecca.
I'm playing. That's my job, playing.
Yeah, weII, that's a very, very good job for you to have.
-Tell Daddy you love him. -I love you, Daddy.
Hey.
The emir's summer party, MarbeIIa, this weekend.
Any interest?
WeII, I can't. I got, you know....
Guy couId be huge for the company, Bryan.
It's Maxie's birthday this weekend, so-- So we have Saturday--
Hey, Bryan, I just need your heIp on this-- The emir's party. I'II take that.
Through finagIing, we have an audience with the emir.
He wrote the strategy, and he's not sIick.
I'II bet you a thousand he can't seII it.
I didn't say I couId go.
DoIIars or Swiss francs?
-DoIIars. -Fine.
Come on. Take the chiIdren with you. The beach, summer, MarbeIIa. Max'II Iove it.
-Can I do that? -Sure you can.
Besides, they Iove chiIdren.
John D. RockefeIIer. Founded the University of Chicago.
Come on.
That's fine. You're a good song leader, Mr. Rockefeller.
The Persian GuIf
The Connex/ AI-SaIwa faciIity is under new ownership...
...and your services are no Ionger needed.
What did he say? I can't hear.
He's teIIing us to scram.
''Scram''?
What do you mean, ''scram''?
Your immigration permit through this company is no Ionger vaIid.
You must report to the Department of Immigration within two weeks...
...or you may be deported.
The Chinese are smart peopIe, but such bad drivers.
They shouId not be aIIowed even to wash cars.
When I was your age, in Pakistan, there was aIways in the distance....
Snow-covered mountains. Yes, I know, Papa.
That's right.
Three hours away, but right there...
...across the entire sky...
...Iike you couId reach out and touch them.
Snow-covered mountains.
As soon as we can...
...we'II get a house and bring your mother here.
I promise.
Bob's freaking out about this other missile.
''Where's the missiIe? Who has it?'' He wrote a memo.
CentraI InteIIigence Agency LangIey, Virginia
I just finished convincing Brit and French inteI...
...we had nothing to do with the Amiri job.
What do we say to them now? ''WeII, something's missing.''
He's gotta stop this. He's gotta stop with the memos.
Okay. Here's something. You put him up for promotion.
He's due. He's a good man. He saved our ass in Beirut in '85.
That's great. Terry Iikes him. We'II get him an audition downtown.
You get him an audition downtown.
They're going crazy about Iran now. Bob's an expert.
Speaks Farsi, for chrissake.
Bob has never had a desk job.
He's never done 9 to 5, never been on committee.
He's gotta show up to work every day. He's gotta stay on message.
AbsoIuteIy.
I'll prep him.
In fact, we just puIIed one of our officers out.
I took the initiative to ask him to come down here.
He infiItrated HezboIIah in Beirut in the '80s, won himseIf some nice medaIs.
We're thinking about giving him a station.
Beirut in the '80s, is that a résumé-buiIder?
Don't chomp down on any bait.
We're fine.
Iran is fine.
Fine.
And our anaIysis seems to be on the mark. We're getting good sateIIite coverage.
We're reprogramming resources into Iran--
Thank you for coming. WeIcome back and forgive me if I wade in...
...but forgetting for a second your bureaucratic checkIist...
...I'm trying to get undigested information.
-WeII, to the best of our abiIity-- -India is now our aIIy. Russia is our aIIy.
Even China wiII be an aIIy.
Everybody between Morocco and Pakistan is the probIem.
FaiIed states and faiIed economies, but Iran is a naturaI cuIturaI aIIy of the U.S.
Persians do not want to roII back the cIock to the eighth century.
I see students marching in the streets. I hear Khatami making the right sounds.
And what I'd Iike to know is, if we keep embargoing them on energy...
...then someday soon, are we gonna have a nice, secuIar...
...pro-Western, pro-business government?
It's possibIe. It's compIicated.
Of course it is. Thank you for your time.
They Iet young peopIe march in the street. Next day, they shut down 50 newspapers.
Put a few sateIIite dishes up on the roofs, Iet them have My Two Dads.
That doesn't mean the ayatoIIahs...
...are surrendering one iota of controI over that nation.
Mr. Barnes, the reform movement in Iran...
...is one of the president's great hopes for the region...
...and cruciaI to the petroIeum security of the United States.
These gentIemen are with the CLI.
The Committee for the Liberation of Iran, Mr. Barnes.
Princeton, New Jersey
Maybe you'II get made ambassador to somewhere cooI.
Like France or ItaIy or Ghana.
It's not beyond the reaIm of possibiIity, is it?
How's your mom?
Great. She's great.
So I know it's stiII a year away...
...but I'II have to have a car, a decent car.
Nothing too fancy, but it has to run so that I can get into Boston and New York.
They have a great crew. That's what they toId me.
I said, ''Crew of what?'' And they said, ''Rowing.''
-So if I wanna row, it'd be kind of fun. -Thank you.
Robby, Iisten.
I Iive in MaryIand...
...which means that you have residency in MaryIand.
For the University of MaryIand.
I'm sorry, can I steaI this from you? Thank you so much.
I just want a normaI senior year, Dad.
I want a normaI house.
I want Cinemax and prom.
You know what prom is Iike in Pakistan? Prom sucks in Pakistan.
It's compIicated, you know.
I may have reaIIy screwed up at work.
How?
I was supposed to keep my mouth shut and I didn't.
What does Mom do, again, that we have to Iive in IsIamabad?
-She's a secretary. -Secretary.
Robby.
Both of my parents are professionaI Iiars.
Hey.
Did you guys just get a party?
I do too.
This is a party not for you.
MarbeIIa, Spain
It is my pleasure to personally welcome each of you...
AII right, guys.
...to the Casa de las Palmas...
...our oasis of palms in the south of Spain.
-Does somebody Iive here? -Yeah, in the summertime.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day...
...and taking time from your hectic lives to relax with friends and family...
...whether it is enjoying the flowers in our bountiful gardens...
...or sampling the myriad delicacies...
...prepared by chefs from our prosperous home.
PIease eat and sociaIize...
...and enjoy your time with us.
I am happy to weIcome the Chinese to my country.
My father weIcomes the Chinese to our country.
Of course.
PIease.
Right there.
Thank you.
Arabs are very famiIy-oriented, as a peopIe.
Is that racist?
Sure.
-It is? -A IittIe.
WeII, no. I mean, I guess if what you're saying is positive.
You have to go in.
Don't.
Let him work it out on his own. It's important for his autonomy.
AII right!
An announcement.
If man is made in God's image...
...then God is deepIy messed up.
You afraid?
Afraid of the buzz?
I'm afraid of your breath.
Hakim hasn't had any. And he wears jeweIry.
He thinks that IittIe braceIet's gonna get him girIs.
Hakim!
Hakim! Hakim! Hakim!
I want to taIk to your uncIe about work.
There isn't any work.
Farooq!
You said you'd introduce me.
Don't be such a pest.
Hakim! Hakim!
Are you here to see the emir?
Yeah.
Me too.
What do you do?
I'm a partner in a derivatives-trading company in Geneva.
-Energy? -Yeah.
Right.
-Bryan Woodman? -Yes.
-Good evening. -Hi.
Hi, Bryan Woodman.
We regret that His Highness wiII be unabIe to see you.
However, we are authorized to hear your proposition on his behaIf.
Oh, okay.
What, here? Now?
Okay. WeII....
Okay. Our position is that the reaI worry for you guys...
...is another year of record pricing.
There are no more eIephant fieIds, not even in naturaI gas...
...and as structuraI aIternatives become more fuIIy reaIized...
...you'II need new strategies to maximize every penny of your existing resources...
...particuIarIy in a cIimate of faIIing prices.
And that's what, you know, our firm is prepared to heIp probIem-soIve with you...
...the, you know, foreseeabIe...
...and unforeseeabIe probIems you encounter.
This house is a Genius-Home.
One of my sons had it wired by experts from the United States.
Watch.
Your Highness, that is incredibIe.
Prince Nasir, isn't that amazing?
Fascinating.
The Chinese take the troubIe to Iearn Arabic.
Look, it's getting dark.
Better turn on the pooI Iights.
Send a fooI on a fooI's errand.
Moussa, come fix this remote controI!
Are you not taIking?
Come on, sweetheart. Just a IittIe bit, okay?
You're the shark, and you try to tag us as we swim across.
AII right? You jump in, count ''one, two, three'' ...
...then we try to get to the other side.
-AII right? Okay. -Okay. Come on.
Come on, go. Go.
Yeah. Okay.
-Come on, jump in. -Come on.
-Come on. Jump in! -Sissy!
Just jump, come on!
Max?
-Max! -Oh, my God!
Cut the power! Cut the power!
Max! Max!
-Let go! -Somebody cut the power!
-Max! -Come on. Come on.
-That's my son! -Oh, my God.
-Get out of my way! -Okay.
-Oh, my God! -Take him!
Take him! Take him out. Take him this way. Take him out.
Put him down. Down, down.
-Sweetie? -Someone get a doctor, doctor, doctor!
He's not breathing. He's not breathing.
-Get a doctor! -Is anybody a doctor?
Do something! HeIp us!
I hear phrases thrown around like ""the corrupting influence of money""...
Washington, DC
...or ""the evil influence of dollars in politics ""...
...when more money was spent on the syndication rights...
...to the SeinfeId television program...
...than on the whole of the last presidential election.
Last election cycle, I spent $300,000.
I have pictures of myself with the president that I use all over the world.
I didn't make this coffee for you.
People don't know Danny Dalton, but they know the president of the United States...
...and they see that I know the president of the United States.
-In a free society... -Making it for me.
...the one written into law...
You...
-...it's the people, individually... -...I'm making oatmeaI.
-...and organized into committees... -Then you sIeep.
...not the U.S. government, who decide the issues....
You Iook Iike shit.
...of a political campaign.
In our country, we don't...
...stuff dollars into ballot boxes.
-What we do... -You working?
-...is turn money into votes. -I had troubIe at work.
The ability of a candidate....
There's beer in my fridge, so you don't die of the DTs.
PIease don't smoke in my house.
--meaning, not so loosely translated, that money is speech.
And, last time I heard, speech in the United States of America is protected.
You can't limit my advocacy just because it works.
I have a sovereign, inalienable right to petition my government.
And why is it some dirty little secret...
...that it's in America's interest to do business overseas?
Two of my wife's kids were deported from this country.
You know why? Because they didn't have work.
You don't have to pay me.
Give me something to do.
Then decide.
I'm sorry. I aIready have a Iong Iist for that job too.
And if you want to work in this country...
...Iearn the Ianguage.
Learn Arabic!
Foreign workers' compound The Persian GuIf
Why are they running?
Maybe the smaII one...
...committed a crime or something.
They gave us french fries at the IsIamic schooI.
CIose the door, Papa.
His sister has a thing for you.
His sister has a big ass.
Of course, at the IsIamic schooI you don't have to worry about that.
And Iamb. We got skewers of Iamb.
I Iike Iamb.
Have your identification card ready. No talking in line.
I can't remember it this hot.
OId man, you don't want to taIk here.
Stop taIking.
Tough guy. What's your name?
What's your name?!
Johnny.
Mommy!
-Hey, hey, hey. -Mommy.
Come here, bear. Come here.
You okay?
I wanna Iook out the window.
You wanna Iook out the window? Come on.
I spy a bird.
Well, if on Monday, Iran refuses the IAEA inspectors...
...you can look to crude prices to spike yet again.
Right. WeII, it's not exactIy a secret that Iran wiII refuse snap inspections.
Okay, Rebecca. Thank you.
Go home.
It was a stupid fucking question, Henry.
The prince's man caIIed again.
I'm just teIIing him.

Hey, how bad is it?
When a VoIvo deaIer says that....
Okay. You're honorabIe, decent guys.
Right.
My wife and our narrow driveway....
-How the heII are you? -WeII, you know, can't compIain.
That's not good, kiddo. That's suffering quietIy.
Married? Kids?
There is no way a company Iike KiIIen...
...puIIed off a deaI Iike this without paying somebody off.
Why don't you teII me what you have so I can respond.
I used to think there was something wrong here.
Now I know there's something wrong here.
Either you don't find anything, because you don't know how to Iook...
...or you do and they carve you out and Iight you on fire.
That's gotta be the pIay here, right?
Bennett HoIiday.
Sydney Hewitt's new boy.
How many of those have I seen?
Six? Seven?
They're aII gone.
He's stiII Sydney-fucking-Hewitt.
Fourteen-1 1 .
Match point.
I think they've got someone inside the deaI.
Someone they can squeeze.
You mean Iike an informant?
Yes, sir, Iike an informant. Just my opinion, based on their overconfidence.
Match point.
Thank you.
You know, if peopIe in oiI deaIs...
...taIked to U.S. Attorneys, there'd be no oiI business. Dean.
Bennett HoIiday, you know Dean Whiting, founding partner of our firm.
-Good to see you, sir. -How are you?
We've been discussing the Connex-KiIIen merger situation.
WiII they get approvaI? HeII of a Iarge company if they do.
I mean, cIient.
WeII, the Tengiz fieId, KiIIen's Iargest asset...
...is being Iooked into pretty heaviIy by the U.S. Attorney's office.
WeII, Bennett, as they say in the BibIe:
''There are many, many ways to Iight Europe.''
Yeah, well, there's an arrow on the ceiling pointing towards Mecca.
The BinIadin Group air-conditioned Mecca.
It was a huge project. They made biIIions and biIIions.
All the women are dressed in black from head to toe...
...walking 5 feet behind the men.
It's 1 25.
Literally, 1 25 and humid.
When I walked out of the airport, it was like a wall fell on me.
The men are all wearing white sheets.
And they're spotless white sheets. I don't really understand that.
They kind of say:
""It's hot and I don't have to work. ""
I don't understand how you could do anything in that.
I'd like to see these guys play baseball.
Are you okay?
You sound strange.
No, I'm fine.
They wiII try to disguise the difference...
...to make MusIims who speak about reIigion...
...appear to be fanatics or backward peopIe.
They wiII teII us the dispute is over economic resources...
...or miIitary domination.
If we beIieve that, we pIay right into their hands...
...with onIy ourseIves to bIame.
It is not possibIe...
...to bridge the divide between human nature...
...and modern Iife through free trade.
ImpossibIe.
The divine and the worIdIy are but a singIe concept.
The Koran.
No separation of reIigion and state.
The Koran.
Instead of kings IegisIating and sIaves obeying...
...the Koran.
The pain of modern Iife cannot be cured by...
...dereguIation...
...privatization...
...economic reform...
...or Iower taxes.
The pain of Iiving in the modern worId...
...wiII never be soIved by a IiberaI society.
LiberaI societies have faiIed.
Christian theoIogy has faiIed.
The West has faiIed.
This was a birthday and graduation present a coupIe years ago.
Cap d'Antibes, France
What happened was, I was about to graduate from Oxford...
...and my mother had a horse in the RoyaI Ascot race, right?
The horse won...
...that same day that I was graduating. And my trust fund matured.
So that tops any birthday present that any of you have bought for me tonight.
CapitaIism cannot exist without waste.
We shouId write thank-you notes to Mr. Whiting and the U.S.A...
...for producing one-quarter of the worId's garbage...
...and one-quarter of the demand.
You're certainIy weIcome.
Our pIeasure, reaIIy.
Prince...
...is there anything that we can do for you?
Americans are aIways happy to driII hoIes in other peopIe's countries.
I've heard of you, Mr. Whiting. The cat's-paw of the Saudi princes.
I know your brother, the foreign minister. He's very bright.
I know your father too.
He threw the second creepiest party I've ever been to in Washington.
And as far as I can see...
...you couId probabIy use a bit of the cat's-paw yourseIf.
Second-born son, so beaten down by his famiIy...
...he can't even teII me what he wants when he's asked straight-out.
A grown-up baby who's afraid of his brother...
...and maybe wants to be king?
Maybe?
WeII, prince...
...are you a king?
Can you teII me what you want?
All right, what's next?
The lethal finding on Nasir came through.
That was quick. You have a timetable?
He'll be in Beirut next week. We could do it there.
That's good. Anybody around?
Actually, yes. I made contact with Mussawi.
He'd be happy to work with whoever we send.
I was thinking it wouId be good for Bob.
I'II Iet you have him without going through Terry...
...but everything better go exactIy right.
And teII him, ''Easy on the memos.''
This is the prototype of an oiI-rich Arab monarchy.
Since prevaiIing in the tribaI confIicts of the 1 920s...
...the AI-Subaai famiIy have ruIed their kingdom effectiveIy...
...and, by most accounts, benignIy.
However, they face enormous chaIIenges in the future.
The fact of the matter is that at current IeveIs of production....
-WeIcome, Bob. -Hi.
Good news. I think we've got something for you, something you'II Iike...
...that utiIizes your specific skiII set.
You know this guy?
-Prince Nasir AI-Subaai. -His money's in a Iot of dark corners...
...paying for weapons that couId be used against the U.S.A.
Paperwork on poIygraphs.
Wire transfers to Qaeda fronts.
Letters instructing his water ministry to empIoy Mohammed Sheik Agiza...
...the guy who has your missiIe.
He's traveIing to Beirut. You have experience in Beirut.
It's a great city.
This is a bad guy.
And, who knows, maybe you'II find your bIue-eyed Egyptian.
-I sent you a report on-- -Sorry, I gotta get going.
My daughter's got a soccer game.
Big one.
Did you see my missiIe report? I reset the guidance to bIow 1 0 feet--
Bob, you just don't get it.
Nobody wants to hear about a missing missiIe, not right now.
This is top of the director's Iist.
Hit a waIk-off home run...
...you get any desk you want.
Sheik Hamad has not yet made a decision about who wiII succeed him.
In our view, Prince Nasir...
...is IikeIy the more ambitious of the two brothers.
This, however, does not mean...
...that he wiII prevaiI in any succession struggIe.
Your generosity is bigger than a mountain that shades us from the burning sun.
My house has grown too smaII for my famiIy.
If we had more Iand...
...then my son couId buiId his own house.
My father has ordered the MarbeIIa estate to be razed.
There'II be a park.
We're so sorry for your Ioss.
Six more North FieId bIocks are being deveIoped.
We'd Iike to offer your firm the rights.
Six bIocks?
-Which phase? -Third phase.
Okay, so we'd be in the stream for...
...1 0 one-hundredths of a cent.
So $ 75 miIIion.
Seventy-- Great. That's great.
How much for my other kid?
You know, if I were your economic adviser, I'd teII you that...
...that's not the stupidest thing, financiaIIy, you've done...
...but probabIy just the dumbest thing you'II do today. ProbabIy.
But why wouId you need an economic adviser?
Years ago, you had the highest GNP in the worId.
Today, you're tied with AIbania. So good work.
Your second biggest export is secondhand goods...
...foIIowed cIoseIy by dates, for which you Iose 5 cents a pound.
You know what the business worId thinks of you?
We think 1 00 years ago, you were Iiving in tents, chopping each other's heads off...
...and that's exactIy where you'II be in another 1 00.
So, yes, on behaIf of my firm, I accept your money. Thank you.
Fine. I'II have the funds transferred to your firm immediateIy.
Great.
And I'II give you 1 00 miIIion for the other kid.
So now you're my economic adviser...
...why don't you teII me something I don't aIready know.
AII right. You want an idea? Here's an idea.
There's the Eurasian triangIe.
Your kingdom is here. Iran is there. You've been seIIing your oiI...
...sticking it on ships and watching as it saiIs away around Africa to there.
Pretend for a second that this is excess Iranian pipeIine capacity.
That's your route. Right there. OverIand, through Iran.
Hook up with these pipes. Commoditize it, controI it...
...take it to the doorstep of every home in Europe.
I just doubIed your profit. I think that's a pretty good idea.

Now I got...
...Iibraries and parks named after me.
And I'II probabIy ruin my grandkids.
