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.
FBl'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 1 0,000 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 1 2, 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 Ataturk. 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 1 1 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 lranian 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.
You're the Canadian.
Target destroyed.
23:44 EDT.
I'd like to accept this award...
...on behalf of the employees of Connex-Killen.
Our people, the finest in the world.
Guys, could I get you to stand up for a moment? Please stand up.
Connex-Killen.
And I'd also like to thank...
...our strategic friends from around the globe who are here tonight.
Most especially...
...Emir Meshal Al-Subaai.
Emir. Thank you so much.
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. "
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.
Come on, man.
Leave the beer.
