06:20The aircraft is controlled from the cockpit or flight deck the pilot sits in the left seat and the co-pilot sits to the right with the control column located in the center
06:29In front of them is the instrument panel containing the flight controls enabling a smooth and safe flight
06:34The pilot and co-pilot examine the aircraft logs and verify that all the controls are in the proper position
06:40I love you
06:49Even as a kid
06:50I knew most americans really didn't get it they didn't understand how the world worked
06:56What was fake and what was a bullshit distraction from the way things really were
07:01Corrupt
07:02Corrupt
07:03Evil
07:04I knew there were good guys and bad guys and i wanted to be one of the good guys
07:10But at the same time i appreciate i can be overzealous
07:16I also appreciate that sometimes the right thing to do is to turn the other cheek
07:21You pulled me out of yemen in the middle of an investigation i'm not going to ask why or what that's about
07:26I'm just here to tell you that the investigation was going well i picked the right case agent too
07:31Safan's young but he's whip smart presumably the yemenies trust him
07:36He's from around there correct he was born in lebanon they don't trust him anymore they trust any american less maybe
07:42But in spite of this he was the you know right man for the job
07:45If you say so
07:47i made personal connections some of the key players got some leads but they know more
07:52Like to get back over there before they forget how much they like me so when am i going back
07:58You're not you've been denied re-entry into yemen
08:04Who did that ambassador bodine
08:08Apparently you didn't make personal connections with all the key players did she say why
08:13She said a lot of things but reading between the lines
08:17I'd say she thought you were a kind of an asshole
08:35Kalad rented the house the bomber stayed in we have to assume he was running the operation on the ground
08:39We also have to acknowledge that's an assumption so what do we know for sure one leg
08:45fantastically identifiable characteristic he traveled from malaysia to bangkok to meet kuso
08:51Kuso told you he gave him 36 grand said it was for a new leg which i do not believe and i'm taking a second run at kuso later
08:58good deal
09:00Have you talked to your people at langley
09:02I told them what we're looking for
09:04Yeah i also told them what we're looking for but did you get an answer because i didn't
09:16He read in his lonely planet yemen that the best food here was the street food
09:21so white
09:24You asked them for any information about kalad or anything on the malaysia meeting the take from the head of phone
09:30Yeah
09:33And you told them we can't move forward until they quit stonewalling
09:38I didn't put it like that exactly but
09:41and basically
09:42and
09:44So yeah
09:46as you predicted
09:47uh absolutely there were phone calls made from kuso's hotel room in bangkok to the hadafone in yemen
09:52and from there there were payphone in malaysia
09:54Wait shohan you kind of buried the lead
09:58We're getting those transcripts
10:01No
10:03I mean they're not passing anything on they're saying it's not pertinent
10:06Not pertinent
10:08What the fuck does that mean?
10:10If they've got something it's pertinent
10:12I don't know man
10:13What do you mean you don't know?
10:15Why am i going through you if you can't get any fucking answers?
10:19Fucking blurry crap
10:20Why don't you take it down a notch?
10:23A bunch of americans got blown out of the water and shipped home in pieces
10:27But let's take it down a notch because the agency is the agency and what are you gonna do?
10:32Look ali ali just
10:33Ah come on let's take it down a notch floyd
10:52They all get their period at the same time or something
11:11Yes, I saw agent souffin's cable
11:19We were wondering if you'd like us to pull the relevant intel draft a response
11:24If leonard bliss wants a response drafted and you're required in that effort then you will be alerted at that time
11:30In the meantime should we let agent souffin know?
11:33In the meantime you will continue with what you were doing before he interrupted
11:38We get hundreds of cables a day and we do not dash off responses like flighty coeds
11:44I should get back to work
11:49I don't want to dash anything off but obviously his request is time sensitive
11:53The bureau and the cia were established as two distinct and separate organizations for security reasons
12:10We don't always have the same goals and sometimes our goals conflict with each other
12:14It is my belief and the belief of my colleagues Schmidt
12:18He doesn't work here anymore
12:21That there is no reason on god's green earth to depredize our own missions by solving the bureau's crimes for them
12:35How about this
12:38Let's find out why
12:40I-49 wants this information. Let's find out what they know already and we'll go from there
12:48Sound good?
12:50I

13:40It's up until 5.
13:50I'll be right there.
14:18Hi, Tony-Ann.
14:26Listen, tomorrow I want you to take these photographs to your G-Men buddies over at I-49 and see if they recognize anyone.
14:37Well, I recognize Al Midhar.
14:40But will they?
14:42It's important that we understand what they know.
14:45That way we can assess what information is or isn't pertinent to their inquiries.
14:51And if they know nothing?
14:53Then come and tell me that.
14:57They don't care.
14:58I don't care.
15:00This joke if I know anything.
15:06I'll catch you, guys.
15:07I'll Impf you like your mother.
15:08He'll give me a lot of information about it.
15:10I'll fight him and fight him.
15:11Don't let us say to you, don't let us get rid of him.
15:14Don't let us get rid of him!
15:21I'm going to...
15:23Tell him!
15:24Ok, it's over!
15:26He's over!
15:31What's this?
15:34Please tell me about him.
15:41.
16:00.
16:01.
16:02.
16:03.
16:04.
16:05.
16:06.
16:07.
16:08.
16:09.
16:10.
16:11.
16:12.
16:14.

16:32.
16:33.
16:35.
16:37.
16:38.
16:39.
16:40We gave you a day pass, huh?
16:48Can't wait for parole.
16:50I bet.
16:51You recognize any of these goobers?
16:54Nope.
16:55Who are they?
16:56You don't recognize them?
16:57Should I?
16:58Who are they?
17:00This is Khaled or Midhar?
17:05What the fuck is this?
17:07Quid pro quo, Clarice?
17:08Who are the others?
17:11I don't know.
17:13You don't know?
17:14No, they just want me to see if you guys know.
17:16Wait a minute, wait a minute.
17:17But they know, right?
17:18I mean, these are their photographs.
17:20Yeah, I assume.
17:21You assume?
17:22You didn't fucking ask?
17:23It doesn't work like that.
17:25What the fuck, Tony?
17:26All right, all right.
17:26So this is Alamira.
17:27What else do you got?
17:28Do you got a birth date?
17:31No.
17:31You got a passport number?
17:32No.
17:33These are fucking useless.
17:34Okay, so thanks for the help.
17:37You come in here.
17:37You show us these photographs.
17:38You won't say why?
17:40I don't know why.
17:41They keep this shit up.
17:42More people are going to get killed.
17:43This is fucking pathetic.
17:44What the fuck is this?
17:45You got a fucking photograph?
17:46Whose side are you on?
17:47The fucking agency is turning our own people against us.
17:51You got a complaint?
17:52You write it up.
17:53You put it through the proper channels.
17:54Okay, yeah.
17:55I'll go out and buy myself a stamp.
17:57How about you drop the attitude?
17:59How about you show some loyalty to your men?
18:02Where the fuck is John?
18:03He should have been here today.
18:04He got called to D.C.
18:06How convenient.
18:09I bet he did.
18:11Hey, Bob.
18:12Forget John.
18:13I'm your boss.
18:14I'm your boss.
18:44What the fuck was he going to do?
18:46He should have picked up his money and went to Malaysia.
18:52This is your word.
18:54This is your word.
18:56You said, you're the one who saw the bank before he went to Malaysia to the system.
19:04Who was there in the system?
19:05How do I know?
19:10How do I know if I didn't have this conversation?
19:12Exactly.
19:19So you don't know?
19:20I don't know.
19:22It's a weird word for you.
19:28There's no one that's important from Allah.
19:30Some of them are very important.
19:32Do I know?
19:33No problem.
19:34And my wife, by the end.
19:36And you said to me that he is a person.
19:40You are.
19:44I don't understand what the people have.
19:47Good?
19:50I agree.
19:54You're here at the right of the eye.
19:57Don't be afraid of all of the facts.
19:59You're not aware of anything.
20:02If Mr. American Ali doesn't want to talk anymore,
20:06let us end this conversation.
20:10Good.
20:13Take him away.
20:16He never even met in line.
20:18What do you say?
20:20He said, how can you move?
20:21What did you say about the country?
20:23He said, you didn't meet him, but you don't understand?
20:25No, I got him.
20:26I got him.
20:27I got him.
20:28I got him.
20:29I got him.
20:31When did you come?
20:33Who knew you?
20:37Abu Jandal.
20:43When you showed me the list of suspects held here in Yemen,
20:47Abu Jandal was on that list, correct?
20:52How can I remember?
20:53I remember.
20:55Get him.
20:57Now.
20:58Now.
20:59Unfortunately.
21:00That won't be possible.
21:04You want me to go to publish again?
21:06Embarrass you again?
21:08Yes, you could.
21:11Go to who you like.
21:13No one will let you speak to Abu Jandal.
21:15Are you giving her a ride?
21:29Did her car break down?
21:33Amy approached me with some concerns regarding Mr. Ali Soufan's recent correspondence and your instructions as to response or lack thereof.
21:47She approached you.
21:48She approached you.
21:49She was concerned you wouldn't take her seriously, whereas I think I've developed a reputation among some of the analysts as having a somewhat avuncular energy.
21:57How have you?
21:58How have you?
21:59She raises some good questions. I assured her you'd be reasonable.
22:03I appreciate that the Bureau and the agency play different roles, but at the same time international terrorism may call for some adjustment in terms of how we deal with intelligence issues.
22:13I think that's very interesting.
22:14The FBI has an intelligence branch.
22:15But it's hard for me to see a downside.
22:16Am I missing something?
22:17If we tell the FBI everything, they will run around the world arresting minor players, often minor players from Saudi Arabia.
22:18There will be headlines.
22:19Mr. and Mrs. Smith from Shittsburg-Pittsburgh will be asked.
22:20I appreciate that the Bureau and the agency play different roles.
22:21But at the same time international terrorism may call for some adjustment in terms of how we deal with intelligence issues.
22:27I think that's very interesting.
22:30The FBI has an intelligence branch.
22:32But it's hard for me to see a downside.
22:34Am I missing something?
22:36If we tell the FBI everything, they will run around the world arresting minor players, often minor players from Saudi Arabia.
22:43There will be headlines.
22:44Mr. and Mrs. Smith from Shittsburg-Pittsburgh will be outraged by America's special relationship with the Saudi royal family.
22:51After all, the Saudis harbor terrorists, or so the FBI says.
22:55And the fundamentalists in Saudi Arabia will be equally angry because clearly the Americans seek a war on Islam.
23:03Royal heads will roll.
23:05Fundamentalists will overrun the palace and their brethren throughout the Middle East and beyond will be emboldened.
23:11Civil wars every which way.
23:14Iran.
23:15Iraq.
23:16Syria.
23:17Egypt.
23:18Pakistan.
23:19And as the blood dries and fanatics rule the East, Mr. and Mrs. Smith will be chowing down on their cereal, not yet understanding that a seismic shift just took place in the political structure of the earth and they are fucked.
23:34Our job is very simple.
23:39Saudi Arabia must never go down.
23:41We have a delicate but very... special relationship.
23:46oh look at that i'm low on gas i see i'm sorry thank you for your time
23:59you're tired take a sick day tomorrow actually take the week
24:16how often should a married couple be making love
24:23radicalism prospers in the gap between rising expectations and declining opportunities
24:40especially where the population is largely impoverished
24:44where the art is impoverished and where the men are largely separated from the women
24:49that is why we believe we are seeing an abundance of it in the middle east as well as north africa
24:56central asia pakistan afghanistan the origins of islamic fundamentalism we can save for another

29:36But we said you'd only call me when I'm at work if there's an emergency.
29:41That's why I leave the phone on.
29:42That's why I bought the phone.

29:44There's no emergency.
29:45I mean, I just got a break and I'm sorry.

31:23Be passive.
31:24No.
31:25Jesus never asks us to be passive.
31:28I've got to figure something out.
31:29They're coming for me.
31:30I don't know why, but they are.
31:33And how...
31:34You know what?
31:34I do know why.
31:35Office politics.
31:37I was never one for office politics, you know?
31:39I always told people,
31:40you can either love me or hate me,
31:41but your life will be easier if you love me.
31:43I guess that isn't working anymore.
31:49Too well, fine.
31:50I don't know.
31:52I've got to deal with it.
31:54Kiss up to these guys.
31:57Treat them like a jealous girlfriend.
31:59Buy them flowers.
32:00Talk pretty.
32:01You know?
32:02Crazy waste of time when lives are on the run.
32:04Well, how are the things in your personal life?
32:10Professional troubles never seem so bad
32:13if the home is a safe harbor.
32:16Listen.
32:17The world's in chaos.
32:22Okay?
32:26Men screw everything up.
32:32I know I'm part of that.
32:34We both know I'm part of that.
32:40But I'm trying to put things right.
32:41Do you want to make a confession?
32:55Oh.
32:56Oh, God.
32:57Oh, God, Johnny.
32:59Oh, Johnny.
33:01Oh, Johnny.
33:02Oh, God.
33:03Johnny.
33:04Oh, I love you.
33:05I love you, Johnny.
33:06Happy birthday to you.
33:11I can't believe that.
33:17Careful, honey.
33:18Make a wish, girls.
33:19Oh, God.
33:20Oh, God.
33:23Oh, God.
33:24Oh, God.
33:25Oh, God.
33:27Oh, God.
33:29Oh, God.
33:31Oh, God.
33:35Oh, God.
33:37Oh, God.
33:39Oh, God.
33:40Oh, God.
33:41Oh, God.
33:42I'm fine.
33:45Everything's fine.
33:46And we leave at six, Ali.
33:56Yeah, Mommy, I know.
33:57He's got to get his girl something nice.
33:59She's pissed at him.
34:00My dad was a cop, worked a ton of overtime, and my mom was always sad, mad, long-suffering
34:09because he was never home, and so he got sad and mad and never wanted to be home.
34:14And what teenage Floyd figured out was that in this business, you got to date someone in the same line of work.
34:21Civilians don't get it.
34:23Well, they get it, but they just can't handle it.
34:27Okay, when I get back, I'm going to ask out Cathy.
34:33Okay, if you want to get your ass beat.
34:35I'm going to ask you, honey.
34:36You should be.
34:37I'm gonna ask you.
34:38You should be.
34:39My friend.
34:40Welcome.
34:40We have better inside.
34:42We come inside.
34:42My friend. Welcome. We have better inside. We come inside. We drink tea and I show.
35:12Do you have a big place in America like the movies?
35:19No. I have a small one.
35:21This is New York. Do you live here?
35:25Yes.
35:27Do you know this place?
35:29Yes. This is Central Park.
35:35Peace be upon you.
35:42There's a lot of money. I don't want to play with you.
35:51Do you have your money?
35:57Let me go.
36:00America is a good one.
36:02America is a good one.
36:04You have to hit the fire.
36:06Let me go.
36:12Let me go.
36:14Let me go.
36:16Let me go.
36:17Let me go.
36:24Take it.
36:28I'm an American.
36:29I'm a little boy.
36:31I'm a little boy.
36:33I'm a little boy.
36:35Take it.
36:37Take it.
36:39I'm a little boy.
36:40Take it.
36:41Take it.
36:42We're not brothers.
36:43We're not brothers.
36:44We're not brothers.
36:45We're not brothers.
36:58How?
36:59How was that?
37:00Yeah.
37:01Come on.
37:02This is the Western Union in South Las Vegas Boulevard.
37:13I'm calling to take the status of money sent.
37:18My tracking number is 749183705.
37:26Good.
37:28Have a good day.
37:31What are you doing here?
37:32I missed you.
37:33So you flew back?
37:36I rotated out for the month.
37:39I'm not.
37:40I'm not.
37:41I'm not.
37:42I'm not.
37:43I'm not.
37:44I'm not.
37:45I'm not.
37:46I'm not.
37:47I'm not.
37:48I'm not.
37:49I'm not.
37:50I'm not.
37:51I'm not.
37:52I'm not.
37:53I'm not.
37:54I'm not.
37:55I'm not.
37:56I'm not.
37:57I pulled out for the month.
38:02Oh.
38:03I drew a picture of happiness for you on the plane.
38:11Who?
38:16Who did that to you?
38:21You can't tell me.
38:24Can I come in?
38:27No, of course you can come in.
38:29I just...
38:30What?
38:33Uh, Lee, this isn't working.
38:36I mean...
38:36Don't break up with me.
38:38I never see you.
38:39You disappear, you reappear.
38:40I can't ask you anything.
38:42I know.
38:42I don't know who you are.
38:43I don't know what you do.
38:44No, you know who I am.
38:45I don't want to live like this.
38:46This is not what I want for my life.
38:47You want someone totally predictable?
38:48No, no, I want...
38:49I am predictable.
38:51I'll always come home to you.
38:53Ali?
38:53The second the plane lands,
38:56I'll come home to you.
39:00I hate not knowing where you are.
39:02I hate that you might be in danger.
39:05Of course you hate it.
39:06It's good that you hate it.
39:08Why is it good?
39:09Because it means we're in love.
39:10When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep.
39:35Khalil Gibran.
39:39Really?
39:42You're going to quote poetry?
39:45Hey, honey.
39:46I'm home.
39:47Open your eyes.
40:09So this is you?
40:22This is my first bed in America, in Pennsylvania.
40:26And this is happiness because?
40:28Because maybe after a week I realized I never had to wake up in the middle of the night again
40:37and go to the bottom of the stairs.
40:40Where would you go to the bottom of the stairs?
40:41That's the safest place in a house when bombs are falling.
40:48I got a tip yesterday.
40:57Pretty hot tip.
40:58Yeah?
40:59The New York Times was going to publish a story on you.
41:02I think I'd have heard about that.
41:05Basic thrust is that the security of the country may be compromised
41:09because the head of counterterrorism in New York
41:11was the subject of intense internal scrutiny
41:15following the loss of a briefcase containing classified documents.
41:19Where'd they get death from?
41:21I have no idea.
41:22So kill it.
41:25I can kill it.
41:27You don't think I know the editor?
41:29You think I haven't bought him dinner?
41:30You need to resign.
41:35No.
41:37No.
41:37I'm, I, look.
41:38John, John, John.
41:39I don't want to fire you.
41:41Good.
41:42So you need to resign.
41:45I've been here 25 years.
41:54You need to resign today.
41:56You want some hats?
42:12Jackie.
42:14Thanks.
42:19How, how old?
42:21She'll be three.
42:22We just moved here.
42:24She's never seen the seat before.
42:27You want to get up?
42:29I'm going to take her in.
42:31Oh.
42:32Oh.
42:33Oh.
42:34Oh, yeah.
42:36That's right.
42:36Oh.
42:43Bye.
42:43I normally don't attend the weekly counterterrorism meeting as a rule, but I wanted to be here today
42:51to underscore that from the CIA's perspective, there is nothing more urgent and containing
42:56Al-Qaeda.
42:58Thank you, George.
43:00I told your colleague the other day, I don't deal in generalities.
43:04I need specifics.
43:05And specifics you shall have, good lady.
43:08The NSA's been hearing a lot of chatter from various terrorist cells, correct, Michael?
43:13Roger that.
43:14We're concerned about a potential attack on Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Israel.
43:20The word potential is inherently unspecific.
43:22And Genoa, Italy for this year's G8 summit.
43:26Hey, George, listen, I've got to tell you something.
43:29I've got to tell all you guys something.
43:31I'm gone.
43:33I'm out.
43:34I heard.
43:35So this is my last meeting.
43:37It's my last one of these.
43:40So I just want to say straight up to the agency guys, okay?
43:45Maybe your people won't talk to my people because somebody's got a hard-on for me.
43:49But I'm out of here.
43:50It's not about me anymore.
43:51My people, my guys, are trying to keep Americans safe.
43:57Forget the fucking Genoese for a second.
43:59Maybe let Mr. Tennant finish, Mr.
44:04Mr. O'Neill makes an excellent point.
44:08There are terrorists here.
44:10I explained to you about the terrorist cells and the transnational nature of-
44:14Who is here?
44:16Is there someone in the United States that is a clear and present danger that I need to be worrying about right now?
44:21Or are you talking about swatting flies?
44:25Because the president has told me he has no interest in swatting flies.
44:31John's right.
44:32We have had repeated trouble with the sharing of information between Alex Station and I-49.
44:38Are you, George, aware of any information that hasn't been shared?
44:41The president is correct.
44:46We need to have a comprehensive strategy, which is why I'm meeting with him on Tuesday when he gets back from Texas.
44:54Okay.
44:55Let's move on.
44:56Let's move on.
44:56This is the ladies' room.
45:19Or did you think you could have me too?
45:21Don't you think the world would be a better place if two people could have an honest conversation about what's really going on?
45:34I think the world would be a better place if old men didn't hang around the ladies' room.
45:55Yes, Shabab!
45:56Yes, Shabab!
46:15George Tenet, please.
46:38Yes, George.
46:46We must speak.
47:08We must speak.
