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 would be good for Bob.
I'll let you have him without going through Terry...
...but everything better go exactly right.
And tell him, " Easy on the memos."
This is the prototype of an oil-rich Arab monarchy.
Since prevailing in the tribal conflicts of the 1 920s...
...the Al-Subaai family have ruled their kingdom effectively...
...and, by most accounts, benignly.
However, they face enormous challenges in the future.
The fact of the matter is that at current levels of production....
-Welcome, Bob. -Hi.
Good news. I think we've got something for you, something you'll like...
...that utilizes your specific skill set.
Uou know this guy?
-Prince Nasir Al-Subaai. -His money's in a lot of dark corners...
...paying for weapons that could be used against the U.S.A.
Paperwork on polygraphs.
Wire transfers to Qaeda fronts.
Letters instructing his water ministry to employ Mohammed Sheik Agiza...
...the guy who has your missile.
He's traveling to Beirut. Uou have experience in Beirut.
It's a great city.
This is a bad guy.
And, who knows, maybe you'll find your blue-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 missile report? I reset the guidance to blow 1 0 feet--
Bob, you just don't get it.
Nobody wants to hear about a missing missile, not right now.
This is top of the director's list.
Hit a walk-off home run...
...you get any desk you want.
Sheik Hamad has not yet made a decision about who will succeed him.
In our view, Prince Nasir...
...is likely the more ambitious of the two brothers.
This, however, does not mean...
...that he will prevail in any succession struggle.
Your generosity is bigger than a mountain that shades us from the burning sun.
My house has grown too small for my family.
If we had more land...
...then my son could build his own house.
My father has ordered the Marbella estate to be razed.
There'll be a park.
We're so sorry for your loss.
Six more North Field blocks are being developed.
We'd like to offer your firm the rights.
Six blocks?
-Which phase? -Third phase.
Okay, so we'd be in the stream for...
...1 0 one-hundredths of a cent.
So $75 million.
Seventy--Great. That's great.
How much for my other kid?
Uou know, if I were your economic adviser, I'd tell you that...
...that's not the stupidest thing, financially, you've done...
...but probably just the dumbest thing you'll do today. Probably.
But why would you need an economic adviser?
Years ago, you had the highest GNP in the world.
Today, you're tied with Albania. So good work.
Uour second biggest export is secondhand goods...
...followed closely by dates, for which you lose 5 cents a pound.
You know what the business world thinks of you?
We think 1 00 years ago, you were living in tents, chopping each other's heads off...
...and that's exactly where you'll be in another 1 00.
So, yes, on behalf of my firm, I accept your money. Thank you.
Fine. I'll have the funds transferred to your firm immediately.
Great.
And I'll give you 1 00 million for the other kid.
So now you're my economic adviser...
...why don't you tell me something I don't already know.
All right. You want an idea? Here's an idea.
There's the Eurasian triangle.
Uour kingdom is here. Iran is there. Uou've been selling your oil...
...sticking it on ships and watching as it sails away around Africa to there.
Pretend for a second that this is excess lranian pipeline capacity.
That's your route. Right there. Overland, through lran.
Hook up with these pipes. Commoditize it, control it...
...take it to the doorstep of every home in Europe.
I just doubled your profit. I think that's a pretty good idea.
777 Ranch Hondo, Texas
My granddaddy was a wildcatter. Same with my daddy.
That's how I got my start.
Luck and hard work.
Nobody handed me shit.
Now I got...
...Iibraries and parks named after me.
And I'll probably ruin my grandkids.
Uou wearing a wire, Bennett?
No.
Mr. Janus...
...chairman of Connex...
...and Dean Whiting, founding partner of your firm...
...are proud members of the Committee to Liberate lran.
Danny D. here is too.
D is for "Dalton."
-I was on the other side of the Tengiz deal. -"The other side"?
El Presidente Nazarbayev's best pal in the whole world.
She's a beautiful field, the Tengiz.
Goddamn, is she a beautiful field.
What is it? " lrish...."
Rockville, Maryland
"The lrish pray on their knees, the Scots prey on their neighbors."
How's Margaret?
Uou guys divorced yet?
-We're not getting divorced. -I don't think, in our line of work...
...there's two people with your security clearances who have made a marriage work.
I'm telling you, Bobby, my boy...
...number three. That's the charm.
-That's the number, huh? -Ueah.
I like consulting.
No, I love it.
Love it. And I'll say this for it:
Private business is efficient.
There, I've said it. Fucking cliche.
And the ClA is, like, what, a 30-billion-a-year business...
...so anybody who wants to sell anything, a pencil, a computer...
...they gotta interface through a security clearance. Don't give me shit.
I got two kids in college, and we're doing our kitchen.
Stan, I got a chance to go back to Beirut.
I wanna go back.
Is it safe for me?
Are we talking about with your wife or with the wackos?
Clear it with Hezbollah.
Hezbollah-controlled suburb Beirut, Lebanon
Said Hashimi. Said Hashimi.
Said Hashimi.
I'm Canadian. It's okay. Canadian.
Said Hashimi.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay.
I have a good feeling about American people, Bob.
A good people.
There are 1 0 million Muslims in the U.S.
Thank you for this audience.
I have a business proposal for Mussawi, one that benefits everyone.
Mussawi is an energetic young man.
Your Arabic is very good.
I thought it would be prudent to say that I have no interest in Hezbollah.
This is business and it doesn't concern Hezbollah.
If what you say is true...
...consider yourself welcome in Lebanon.
They can lift 1 0 times their weight, and jump 20 times their height.
But I still don't understand....
The spider is a symbol of the sin of man.
He bites the finger of Peter Parker...
...who is now half dark and half light.
A real spider captures, stings and immobilizes...
...then watches as the prey takes days to die.
They'd never show that.
Are we in trouble?
Peace be upon you, boys.
No, it's not a problem.
Look around you...
...at your brothers united by faith in God and submission to his law.
We're all brothers.
We're one family.
Wasim is still a virgin.
That is good.
Fornication is a serious crime.
I'm a virgin too.
That is good as well.
"Abstain from sex out of wedlock.
It is an attack on honor...
...and shows contempt for sanctity."
God has spoken the truth.
Let us pray together.
Go, go, go.
-This is November, '94. -Yeah. Excellent, excellent.
-Did you find the others? -I couldn't. Joe's looking for it.
-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.
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 lran.
First he tortures our guy, then he peddles the ClA 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 9/1 1, 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 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 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, ldaho.
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 1 00,000 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, 1 973, 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 lran 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 lran.
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 lran. 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.
-ls 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.
