This is November, 1994.
Excellent, Excellent.
Did you find the others?
I couldn't find it. Joe's in charge. He will bring it out when he does
Where is he?
He is back there looking for it. He said he will bring them out when he finds them.
Thank you, Susan.
Hello.
Yes.
Who is this?
How are you sir?
Somebody called me.
If you find me, call my son Bennett junior to this number.
Bob.
What do you know about torture methods...
...used by the Chinese on the FaIun 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 caIIed...
...''puIIing naiIs 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 beIiefs.
What if I had to get you to recant?
That'd be pretty difficuIt, right?
Because...
...if you have no beIiefs to recant, then what?
WeII, 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 HezboIIah too, Mussawi.
I'm going to show you something reaIIy cooI.
American-made. Good quaIity...
...but nearIy impossibIe to hit anything.
By shaping the charge...
...this wiII send a bIast of moIten copper...
...through 30 inches of steeI.
CarefuI!
It's very dangerous.
Jane.
We've just received a dispatch from Damascus, eight minutes oId.
Mussawi's shopping a story that we sent Bob to Beirut...
...to assassinate Prince Nasir.
We better go taIk to Terry.
Can we get this guy? I mean now, reaI-time now.
-Mussawi? -I'II caII you back.
The practicaI 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 reaI name.
Mussawi's shopping photos of them doing the deaI, Iong Iens.
Photos of Bob being heId. We're Iucky this guy is aIive.
The whoIe contact was a setup. Mussawi now apparentIy works with Iran.
First he tortures our guy, then he peddIes the CIA connection.
Put some space between us and Bob.
Bob has a Iong history of entrepreneuriaI operations.
We haven't reaIIy had a handIe on Bob for years.
After 9/1 1 , some peopIe got Ieeway, Iet their emotions get the best of them.
These are compIex times.
There's aIready an active investigation into Bob's activities in-- HeIp me out here.
Tehran, the Amiri brothers job.
We're finding out who hired Bob for the Amiri brothers job.
CouId the same peopIe be behind the Nasir job?
A Iot of peopIe probabIy want this Nasir dead...
...and Bob knows Iots of peopIe. FiII in the rest.
Send me everything.
WaIter Reed HospitaI Washington, DC
You first established contact with the Amiri brothers in 1 998?
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 dipIomatic incident.
Two men have been murdered.
We've been tasked with the damage assessment.
We'II 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 transIated.
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 LiIy SchooI. It's a boarding schooI in SwitzerIand.
Paid for by wire transfer.
The meeting's aIready started. You're not on the Iist.
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.
PIease.
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.
KiIIen OiI, through DanieI DaIton and Petroika Energy ConsuItants...
...created assetIess sheII companies...
...owned by the heirs of Nurzan Detayev...
...RepubIic of Kazakhstan's minister of Domestic Resources.
This was discussed at the Upstream Division meeting...
...in January, 2003 in Sun VaIIey, Idaho.
I was at the meeting, but I don't focus on those detaiIs.
Wherein it was described that KiIIen bore aII financiaI risk...
...but Minister Detayev's chiIdren, whiIe attending The LiIy SchooI in SwitzerIand...
...were entitIed to aII of the profits. Seventy miIIion doIIars.
I attended the meeting, but as I said, I don't focus on those kind of detaiIs.
Further, DanieI DaIton Jr. and Petroika Energy ConsuItants coIIuded--
A firm retained by KiIIen prior to Connex's invoIvement.
Oh, for chrissake, Tommy. We both got Ietters from the grand jury.
-It's not your own private pity party. -A good faith purchaser is in good faith...
...onIy if they didn't know of the probIems at the time of the purchase.
This is the oiI business we're taIking about?
LowIiest IittIe sharehoIder knows we deaI with the most stank pIaces on earth.
And it is iIIegaI to offer gifts, money...
...the promise of money or anything of vaIue to infIuence foreign officiaIs.
Is it?
I have personaIIy seen a biII from your Iaw firm...
...to the government of Saudi Arabia for $36 miIIion.
A one-Iine biII for ''services rendered.''
The business of Whiting SIoan is not under discussion at this time.
WeII, it ought to be.
Danny's a good man.
And he's a friend of mine.
A Mareva injunction?
Some peopIe, cousins of mine, actuaIIy, sued my father in the CommonweaIth...
Geneva, SwitzerIand
...aIIeging he broke an agreement to repay funds from the state.
It caIIs them ''aggrieved royaIs.'' Aggrieved about what?
That he tried to cut their aIIowances from 1 00,000 a month to 80?
I want to see my father.
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
Your father is not feeIing weII.
My cousins aren't bright enough to be anything but finger puppets...
...and my brother has faith onIy in his own cunning.
What do you suppose they're up to, my brother and these American Iawyers?
TeII 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 Ieft is in the MiddIe East.
Look at the progression.
VersaiIIes, Suez, 1 973, GuIf War One, GuIf War Two.
This is a fight to the death.
So, what are they thinking? ''Great.''
They're thinking, ''Keep pIaying, keep buying yourseIf new toys.
Keep spending $50,000 a night on your hoteI room.
But don't invest in your infrastructure.
Don't buiId a reaI economy.''
So that when you finaIIy wake up, they wiII have sucked you dry...
...and you wiII have squandered the greatest naturaI resource in history.
Come with me, pIease.
I studied at Oxford. I have a Ph.D. from Georgetown.
I want to create a parIiament.
I want to give women the right to vote.
I want an independent judiciary.
I want to start a petroIeum exchange in the MiddIe East...
...cut the specuIators out of the business.
Why are the major oiI exchanges in London and New York anyway?
I'II put aII of our energy up for competitive bidding.
I'II run pipe through Iran to Europe, Iike you proposed.
I'II ship to China.
Anything that achieves efficiency and maximizes profit.
Profit which I wiII then use to rebuiId my country.
-Great, that's exactIy what you shouId do. -ExactIy.
Except your president rings my father and says:
''I've got unempIoyment in Texas, Kansas, Washington state.''
A phone caII Iater, we're steaIing out of our sociaI programs...
...in order to buy overpriced airpIanes.
We owed the Americans, but we've repaid that debt.
I accepted a Chinese bid, the highest bid...
...and suddenIy I'm a terrorist. I'm a godIess communist.
Dean Whiting...
...who represents not onIy these aggrieved royaIs and my brother...
...but aIso Connex OiI...
...they've been pressuring my father to invaIidate the Chinese contract.
But they underestimate him.
This is about his Iegacy to his peopIe.
I know it seems Iike peopIe sitting in hoteI rooms.
That's how they do business.
But we're-- We're taIking worId historicaI stage here.
I mean, with the-- With the deIivery deaIs we couId make in Europe...
...transport through Iran.
This guy might be abIe to revoIutionize not just his country, but the whoIe region.
As soon as his father keeIs over, this guy couId be Iike Mossadegh in '52...
...in Iran. The reaI democracy rising up organicaIIy.
If we can be a part of any of these countries...
...getting a parIiament, heIping them find efficiency, showing--
-You know, showing them how-- -Stop it. Stop it.
JuIie, the IittIe company that I started working for...
...is now chief economic adviser to Prince Nasir.
Do you understand what that means?
It's Iike...
...somebody put a giant ATM on our front Iawn.
Here's a question:
How do you think it Iooks to profit off the death of your 6-year-oId?
Fuck you.
I changed the diapers. I put cream on rashes.
I took him to his checkups.
I cared about every fucking percentiIe.
I did everything right. I did everything right.
We're going back to the States.
Good.
RiIey?
Sweetie, sweetie, be carefuI.
We're gonna go now, okay?
You wanna say goodbye to your dad?
You can see him Iater, 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 teII you. No, sir.
Corruption charges. Corruption?
Corruption is government intrusion...
...into market efficiencies in the form of reguIation.
That's MiIton Friedman. He got a goddamn NobeI Prize.
We have Iaws against it preciseIy 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?
WeII, he's got kids, a wife.
He broke the Iaw.
Mr. Janus himseIf wanted me to extend you an invitation...
...to OiIman of the Year.
He's being honored...
...so it shouId be a nice weekend.
ReIax. Catch yourseIf a massage.
CongratuIations.
-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 caII.
I know you know about the crime-fraud exception to attorney-cIient priviIege.
I do, Don. Very weII.
Then you aIso know your cIient is into some shady stuff...
...and it's starting to Iook Iike you couId be invoIved...
...in hiding the true nature of the transactions.
That's quite a statement, Don.
One word:
DaIton.
Danny DaIton?
Defrauded the government of Kazakhstan of funds to which it was entitIed.
Defrauded the peopIe of Kazakhstan of the right to the honest services...
...of their eIected and appointed officiaIs.
Seven years. Does three, maybe two and a haIf...
-...on your recommendation. -Now, Iet me guess.
This was a soIo act, without the knowIedge of Connex or KiIIen OiI...
...and Mr. Lee Janus or Jimmy Pope.
DaIton's a bit of a rogue, it's true.
And he'II have a nice IittIe trust fund when he gets out.
Not so IittIe, I imagine.
Look, Don, we can spend the next five years in court...
...to get back to the very pIace that we're at right now.
And they wiII fight tough.
They'II fight dirty.
They'II pressure your boss...
...the peopIe who appointed your boss...
...the wives of the peopIe who appointed your boss.
And you wiII never hit them any harder than this, and you know it.
I'm sorry, Bennett.
I don't think DaIton's enough.
What are you Iooking at, man?
-I didn't say anything. -That's because you have nothing to say.
You fucking asshoIe.
There we go.
Okay, paI.
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, paI. I teII you what, Katie, take that in.
Hey, Jack. Your sister.
You first.
Take the kids inside. I'II 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 cIear.
Nothing I can do, you know it. It's a criminaI investigation.
-Two men were kiIIed. -I was aImost kiIIed.
Now they're asking me questions about the Amiri brothers, about Tehran.
Understand, this wrecks careers. I shouIdn't even be taIking to you.
I punched in ''Prince Nasir AI-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 truIy Iack faith...
...then I am not the right person.
The questioning means that you have faith...
...and makes it stronger.
That's a Iot of shit, I think.
We'II be abIe to intervene in the affairs of famiIy members.
We'II be abIe to heIp them with whatever they need.
You'II be abIe to get your mother here.
PIease.
I am tired.
Father...
...who wiII be emir?
Your brother.
Praise be to God.
I wouId ask you to remain as foreign minister.
You cannot do this.
He is bareIy quaIified to run a brotheI, much Iess a country.
I Iike Europe.
I wiII be happy to stay here.
My decision is finaI...
...and I ask you to support your brother.
I cannot do that.
For centuries Arabs have been ruIed by peopIe with no respect for Iaw...
...monopoIies handed out for the things that peopIe want...
...commerce stifIed, young peopIe unabIe to find jobs.
Anyone who criticizes is thrown in jaiI...
...or put to death.
And women...
...are treated as second-cIass citizens.
The coronation is tomorrow, and your brother has the support of the Americans.
And 1 0,000 of their troops are stationed in our country.
True.
My father is iII and weak, and unwiIIing to oppose the Americans.
But others are wiIIing.
When a country has 5 percent of the worId's popuIation...
...but does 50 percent of its miIitary spending...
...then the persuasive powers of that country are on the decIine.
They're worried.
About fallout. They're worried...
...you might wanna taIk about it.
But if you're aIready under investigation....
What about Mussawi?
He's a soIdier.
He's just Iike 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 aIIow our miIitary bases in his country...
...and his IittIe brother wiII...
...weII, we'II probabIy have to do something about that.
Who's worried about the Nasir job?
Who's worried about me taIking?
Stan.
Who's worried?
HeIIo?
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'II waIk around.
Everything seems fine.
How are we doing, Mr. Whiting?
Everything's fine.
-The door's unIocked. -Did you leave it unlocked?
Send a car, you imbeciIe.
You were in Beirut in '84.
I Iost friends there...
...as I'm sure you did.
I got a peek at your fiIe. You're a good man.
One whose experience is narrow and deep.
Your entire career...
...you've been used.
And probabIy never even known what for.
I didn't use to need to know.
In this town, you're innocent untiI you're investigated.
Innocent untiI investigated? That's nice. It's got a nice ring to it.
I bet you've worn some miIes on IittIe sayings Iike that.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -No.
Gives the Iistener the sense of the Iaw being written as it's spoken.
If anything happens to me or my famiIy...
...an accident, an accusation, anything...
...then, first, your son wiII disappear.
His body wiII never be found. Then your wife.
Her body wiII never be found either. Now, this is guaranteed.
Then whatever is the most dangerous thing that you do...
...it might be fIying in a smaII pIane...
...might be waIking to the bank...
...you'II be kiIIed.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I want you to acknowIedge that you do understand...
...so that we're cIear and there won't be any mistakes.
Beirut ruIes, Mr. Barnes?
I want my passports back.
We are a smaII group...
...the ones who carry convictions and ambitions.
And within this group...
...there is another, smaIIer group...
...who fIee from the worIdIy Iife...
...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 bobsIed in the OIympics.
What's a bobsIed?
Wasim knows what a bobsIed is.
Papa, I need to ask you....
TeII him about the bobsIed!
TeII him what a bobsIed is.
It's a IittIe car.
A IittIe car that goes down a track of ice and snow.
Papa, may I borrow some money for the bus?
Oh, how the snow sparkIes, the crunch of it under your feet....
DaIton's not enough.
I wouId be reaI carefuI.
You dig a 6-foot hoIe, you'II find three bodies.
But you dig 1 2, and maybe you'II find 40.
China's economy ain't growing as fast as it couId...
...because they can't get aII the oiI they need.
Now, I'm damn proud of that fact.
We need another body, Mr. Pope.
What if--?
What if it invoIved somebody at your firm?
Someone way the heII above you.
We'd have to have an understanding.
WeII...
...if....
If he's as big as you say...
...then when he goes down, the merger wiII be approved.
Just Iike that?
We're Iooking for the iIIusion of due diIigence, Mr. Pope.
Two criminaI acts successfuIIy prosecuted...
...it gives us that iIIusion.
CaII me Jimmy.
He's a visionary. He's Iike FaisaI or Ataturk. The peopIe Iove him. And he's--
The country's gonna be his by Monday.
It's not Iike you guys have backed the wrong horse here.
No, no. No, Iook, he's got nine of 1 1 generaIs.
We're on our way to the paIace right now. This is reaIIy happening.
SiIver Range Rover.
With a sunroof.
SiIver Range Rover, sunroof, fourth from Iead.
-Guys, heIp me out here. -It's coming now.
His wife wiII be there. Pat.
This is good.
You done good.
Lee, you have guests.
-Syd. -LeIand.
-Bennett HoIiday. -How are you, sir?
-Lee Janus. How are we doing? -WeII.
Those number crunchers can get a IittIe overzeaIous, can't they?
Christ, when we write the GAAP ruIes Iike some sort of abstract painting...
...you stare at that IiabiIity hard enough...
...and before Iong, it'II turn into an asset.
No, thank you.
-You don't drink? -No.
It is reaIIy beautifuI out here.
-What is that? -What?
In front of them.
The Bedouin aIways have right of way.
Lawyers say, ''If you can't trust a Big Five accounting firm....''
The accountants say, ''We're not Iawyers.''
LegaI didn't understand. Accounting didn't understand.
Nobody understood anything. ReguIatory bodies scratched their heads...
...that nobody at Connex or KiIIen was at fauIt.
But this merger is so baIance-positive for American consumers...
...that, uItimateIy, Justice wants it.
FederaI courts want it. Everybody wants it.
Our reaI cIient, after aII, is us, the American peopIe.
And we are increasing American access to oiI in Kazakhstan.
So aII they ask is that we give them a IittIe something meaningfuI...
...which we did.
And they got out of our way.
Something besides DaIton?
UnfortunateIy, yes.
And the best option seemed to be...
...a secret deaI for excess Iranian pipeIine capacity...
...that I uncovered during the diIigence.
A IittIe side deaI benefiting the Iead Iawyer...
...invoIved in the Connex-KiIIen merger approvaI process.
What...
...do you think you're doing?
It's iIIegaI for an American to controI these rights.
Stop right now.
Is there...
...something that you wanna teII me, Syd?
Connex/ AI-SaIwa LNG Ioading faciIity The Persian GuIf
Good afternoon.
I wanna thank our host for a wonderfuI spread.
The strawberry juice is deIicious.
Let me just say, on behaIf of Connex-KiIIen...
...how pIeased we are to be back in the GuIf.
Your Highness? Why don't you ride together.
Oh, thank you, Bryan.
Ladies and gentIemen...
...this year's OiIman of the Year:
Mr. LeIand Janus of Connex-KiIIen.
Who the heII is that?
Excuse me. Hey, are you seeing that?
Hey!
CouId you teII who that is?
Hey! Hey!
No, no, no! No!
-Take the target out. -Roger.
Four miIes.
Two miIes.
Rumors of Bob, but never Bob.
It is ''Bob,'' right?
What is it you teII peopIe 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 traveIing in Beirut.
I'd Iike to accept this award...
It's dangerous to traveI. He'II disappear.
...on behaIf of the empIoyees of Connex-KiIIen.
Our peopIe, the finest in the worId.
Take him from his hoteI, drug him, put him in the front of a car...
...and run a truck into him at 50 miIes an hour.
Guys, couId I get you to stand up for a moment? PIease stand up.
Connex-KiIIen.
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 aIso Iike to thank...
...our strategic friends from around the gIobe who are here tonight.
Anyway, he's got a nice private pIane.
Most especiaIIy...
HoId on, Vincent.
...Emir MeshaI AI-Subaai.
Emir. Thank you so much.
Hey.
Beirut? It's great. It's Iike the....
It's Iike the Paris of the MiddIe East.
Yeah, it's Iike-- It's Iike winning the NIT.
--however, unIike Washington's Greater MiddIe 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 OccidentaIs 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. ExceIIent, exceIIent.
Come on, man.
-Did you find the others? -I couIdn't. Joe's Iooking for it.
Leave the beer.
-He'II bring it out when he does. -Where is he?
He's back there Iooking. He'II bring them out.
Okay. Thank you, Susan.
HeIIo?
Yeah.
Who's this?
Yeah. Okay.
How you doing, sir?
Somebody caIIed me.
