00:00Your situation needs to be handled with discretion.
00:12Look at the intelligence structure that you've put together.
00:15Should you hand over the keys to this house so soon after its construction?
00:19They sent a fucking cable saying that this guy is coming into our country.
00:2353 people from the CIA have read it.
00:25We're not sharing this yet?
00:26Vince, you gotta trust the process.
00:28Diane will tell us when we can share.
00:30They're not passing anything on.
00:31They're saying it's not pertinent.
00:33Not pertinent?
00:34What the fuck does that mean?
00:36If they've got something, it's pertinent.
00:38Yes, I saw agents who found the cable.
00:41We were wondering if you'd like us to pull the relevant intel, draft a response.
00:45Let's find out why I-49 wants this information and we'll go from there.
00:51Sound good?
00:53You recognize any of these goobers?
00:55Nope.
00:56Who are they?
00:56I don't know.
00:57You don't know.
00:59No, they just want me to see if you guys know.
01:01Anything to add, George?
01:04No.
01:05I'd like to say that covers it, but when can we ever say that?
01:08We never can say that, which is why we keep working.
01:12You reported directly to President Clinton, did you not?
01:15I did.
01:15You won't be needed to report directly to President Bush.
01:18You think flattery will get you, Abu Jandal?
01:28It will not.
01:29Why can't I speak to him?
01:31Why can't I speak to him?
01:32Because there is no need.
01:34The New York Times is going to publish a story on you.
01:36So kill it.
01:38You need to resign.
01:39I've been here 25 years.
01:42You need to resign today.
01:43Is there someone in the United States that is a clear and present danger that I need to be worrying about right now?
01:49Or are you talking about swatting flies?
01:52Because the President has told me he has no interest in swatting flies.
01:57George, we must speak.
02:00It appears we've lost our two Saudis, Al-Midhar and Al-Hasme.
02:24I thought responsible eyes were on them.
02:26I thought so, too.
02:27These guys are obvious graftier than we thought.
02:30Hmm.
02:37Interesting.
02:41You know the definition of art?
02:47Boiled spaghetti thrown against a clean white wall.
02:50Add sauce.
02:51It's the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination.
02:57And you might be the most artistic person I know.
03:00What do you suit such as a sponsor?
03:06I guess so.
03:06I guess so.
03:06I guess so.
03:08on march 5th of 2000 the cia learns that hazmi had entered the united states on january 15th
03:35seven days after leaving the al-qaeda meeting in malaysia but the cia still doesn't put him or
03:43midhar on the watch list and still doesn't notify the fbi about a very critical fact
03:48a known al-qaeda operative we're at war with al-qaeda a known al-qaeda operative
03:54gotten to the united states my question is do you know specifically why the fbi wasn't notified
04:02about that critical fact at that time the cable that came in from the field at that time sir was
04:08labeled information only and i know nobody read that cable but my question is do you know why the
04:13fbi was not notified to the fact that this al-qaeda operative was now known in march of the year 2000
04:20to have entered the united states why did the cia not specifically notify the fbi sir if we weren't
04:26aware of it when it came into headquarters we couldn't have notified them nobody read that
04:31cable in march in the march time so that this cable that said that this al-qaeda operative came
04:35into the united states came to your headquarters nobody read it it was an information only cable
04:42from the field and nobody read that information on the cable should it have been read oh yes of course
04:47in hindsight and should it have been read at the time of course it should have been read at the time
04:53all right so my question is do you know who should have read it i don't know that sir but i can find out
04:57was somebody responsible to have read it well a group of people somebody should have read it yes
05:01sir we need to we need to also look at where it came into but i can find that out you don't know
05:07who that person was no i do not should they have been watch listed at the time both of them now we're
05:12talking march of the year 2000 yes sir we've acknowledged that fact do we know why at that
05:17specific time now we know that has me has entered the united states this is another trigger point
05:22yes they should have been watch listed who was responsible for watch listing at the time
05:27i don't know the answer to that but i will provide an answer good morning dr rice good morning i want
05:36to ask you some questions about the august 6 2001 president's daily brief you've said to us that the
05:44president directed the cia to prepare the august 6th pdb the extraordinarily high terrorist attack threat
05:50level in the summer of 2001 is well documented you acknowledge that richard clark told you that al
05:57qaeda cells were in the united states did you tell the president at any time prior to august 6th
06:04of the existence of al qaeda cells in the united states um first let me just make certain if you
06:12could just answer that question because i only have a very limited amount of time here did you tell the
06:16president please please commissioner it's important that i also address the other issues that you have
06:26raised if you will just give me a moment well my only question to you is whether you told the president
06:31you'll just give me a moment i will address fully the questions that you have asked uh first of all
06:37yes the uh august 6th uh pdb was uh in response to questions from the president there was no
06:44recommendation that we do something about uh this the fbi was pursuing it i really don't remember
06:52whether i discussed this with the president thank you i remember very well that the president was aware
06:59that there were issues inside the united states he talked to people about this but i don't remember the
07:05al qaeda cells as being something we were told we needed to do something about isn't it a fact
07:09dr rice that the august 6th pdb warned against possible attacks in this country and i ask you
07:17whether you recall the title of that pdb
07:23i believe the title was bin laden determined to attack inside the united states
07:35there's no way that we can i help you sir you're not supposed to be in here the cockpit is often
08:04limits please return to receipt my apologies i thought this was the door to the lavatory please forgive the intrusion
08:16Here are your drinks, gentlemen.
08:32With the senior tab, Mr. O'Neil?
08:34Sure. Thank you, Brendan.
08:42Here's to being downgraded.
08:44Like an aging center fielder who's lost his legs.
08:59Would appear the new regime no longer requires my services.
09:05I've lost my cabinet-level status.
09:08I report to the deputies' committee now.
09:11But they need you, Dick.
09:12If there's one person they need in the White House right now, it's you.
09:18It's got nothing to do with your legs, but it's your mind, which they're probably afraid.
09:23Fucking bozos are interested in subtlety or actually learning anything about how Al-Qaeda thinks.
09:30It's like I'm screaming from the rooftops and nobody's listening.
09:33Who's replacing you?
09:38I was actually going to suggest you.
09:44I'm serious, John.
09:45I have to admit I'm flattered, Dick, but I'm the last person the White House wants to see.
09:55Those bastards don't want me anywhere near a cabinet meeting.
09:59But when you talk, people listen.
10:00You mean when I shout?
10:02This position needs a bull.
10:04You could make a real difference.
10:11I have a few offers I'm considering.
10:14So quickly it pivots to the private sector.
10:19Government salary's not exactly a huge incentive.
10:22I do have a wardrobe to keep on.
10:26Who's escorting you?
10:30Larry Silverstein down at the World Trade Center for one.
10:33A few consulting gigs are offering top dollar.
10:37Financial firms, that type of thing.
10:39I really wish you'd consider coming to Washington.
10:42I'd happily make a few calls.
10:44Richard, my finances are in shambles.
10:50Plus, burned too many bridges.
10:52I don't have any friends left in D.C.
10:56He might be the only person who actually thinks I'm worth a damn.
11:02What about one Martin Schmidt?
11:04I hear he's also out of a job.
11:07Supposed to be some kind of test.
11:10He knows bin Laden, al-Qaeda.
11:12He practically speaks Arabic.
11:14Guy's passionate.
11:15You know damn well you don't want Martin Schmidt anywhere near the White House.
11:18I think your eyes just turned the color of hemlock.
11:34What's up?
11:35Uh, it's just in from HQ.
11:37It appears that one Zacharias Massawi, he is an al-Qaeda Frenchman.
11:42He was apprehended in Eagan, Minnesota after it was reported by his flight school advisor
11:46that he wasn't interested in the landing part of the flying process.
11:50Uh, it says local police found a laptop computer, two knives, Boeing 747 flight manuals, flight simulator,
11:57fighting gloves, and shin guards, and a computer disk with information about crop testing.
12:02What's with the shin guards?
12:04Um, floor hockey enthusiast.
12:06I don't know what to make of this.
12:09Yeah, you and me both.
12:12Let's generate a list of all Arabs enrolled in domestic flight schools,
12:15flag anyone with even a remote connection to terrorism, friends, family, radicals from every mosque.
12:22Copy that.
12:23The blast hit there.
12:33They parked the van 20 feet in any direction, and who knows how much damage it would have been.
12:41Can't believe it's been over eight years.
12:44So, is there anything I can do to sweeten the pot?
12:49Salary-wise, we're maxed out.
12:52Well, let me see what I can do about the benefits package.
12:56Can you throw in a new set of golf clubs?
12:59I'm sure that could be arranged.
13:01Look, it's a great offer, Larry. It really is.
13:04What?
13:04I still have to weigh a few more options.
13:07Don't take your time.
13:09Well, not too much time.
13:13Come in.
13:17Are those riding boots?
13:18The Spring-Step Macbeths.
13:20On sale, 140 bucks.
13:23Someone needs to put you in a saddle.
13:26What's up?
13:27Um, I-49 just sent over a list of Arabs who attended or are enrolled in U.S. flight schools.
13:34Totals around 800 names.
13:36That's a lot of Arabs in our flight schools.
13:40Some Al-Qaeda guy in Minnesota was just busted because he was taking flight lessons, but he wasn't interested in landing the plane.
13:47And what does I-49 want us to do with this list?
13:50They'd like us to run it against our Al-Qaeda database, the big one, suspected Al-Qaeda, and anyone remotely connected.
13:56Friends, relatives, badminton partners.
13:59Forward it to me.
14:00I'll take care of it.
14:01I'll take care of it.
14:31Can you copy all these files for me, box them up, and bring them to my office?
14:55Will do.
14:55I'll take care of it.
14:56I'll take care of it.
15:30Come in.
15:38Uh, set it on the floor.
15:41Thanks, Lee.
15:43Do me a favor and close the door.
16:00It's at the River Cafe.
16:22Nice.
16:24Come say farewell to Special Agent John O'Neil.
16:27Invites address to both of us?
16:29How many years did he put in?
16:3125.
16:32I'd say a quarter century of service warrants a worthy farewell.
16:35Can I have a word with you in my office?
16:38I have a project for you.
16:40Of course.
16:52You probably want to get up to NYC to say goodbye to your old boss.
16:55Right?
16:56That would be great.
16:57Why?
16:58We need you to hand deliver this to I-49.
17:01Can I ask what it is?
17:03It's files on those possible Al-Qaeda flight school suspects.
17:05The ones that cross-referenced with our database.
17:08Make sure it goes to Intel.
17:10Why not criminal?
17:11This is not a criminal matter.
17:13Have you ever considered joining our team?
17:21You think the CIA would actually be interested in converting a hostage?
17:26Alex Station might.
17:28I have to admit, I thought about it.
17:32Well, I keep with that line of thinking because I personally think you'd be a great addition.
17:43You okay, boss?
17:51Afternoon parties always depress me.
17:54Too bright out to celebrate.
17:56Where the hell is everybody, anyway?
17:58Don't worry.
17:59They'll be here.
18:00Party flyer was posted all over the office.
18:02He was gonna pass up free drinks at the River Cafe.
18:05By the way, congrats.
18:08Chief of Security of the World Trade Center has got a pretty nice job.
18:12Pretty nice ring to it.
18:14Ring-a-ding-ding.
18:19Look on the bright side.
18:21You don't have to worry about freaking Al-Qaeda taking out our destroyers.
18:25All in our embassies.
18:27I won't ever stop worrying, Shaughnessy.
18:29I can promise you that.
18:30Something tells me those bastards are just getting started.
18:42With you.
18:43That's why.
18:51We're going to be late.
19:19So let's be late.
19:21I'll be down.
19:30I'll be down.
19:31All right.
19:36All right.
19:40Special Agent Terrence Waldy.
19:43Yeah, Neil.
19:44Just started last week.
19:46Has the SAC shown you what's in the secret storage closet yet?
19:49Not yet.
19:52Well, you may never look at roast beef the same way.
19:56Special Agent Tony Amarino.
19:58Special Agent Tony Amarino.
20:01You just out of Quantico?
20:02Graduated in May.
20:04He's like freshly baked bread.
20:07I'm with I-49, but I work out of Alex Station down in Langley.
20:10Can I ask what you're working on?
20:12I'm cold calling all US flight schools asking about every single one of their students.
20:17Moussaoui follow-up.
20:18Yeah.
20:19Over a hundred and a four-year flight schools.
20:20I feel like I'm selling magazine subscriptions.
20:23Needles and haystacks.
20:24You're telling me.
20:26Well, I got some more fun for you.
20:31You need to locate these guys.
20:36Uh, all of them?
20:41Welcome to I-49.
20:43Hey, I'm starting to worry.
21:00We got stuck in traffic.
21:01Hi, buddy.
21:02Well done.
21:03Congratulations.
21:04Oh, thank you.
21:05Although it feels more like a funeral than a party.
21:06I keep expecting to look up and see my own casket.
21:09You know, pallbearers, fake flowers everywhere.
21:12You look lovely.
21:13Oh, thank you.
21:14Yeah.
21:15It's not often I get to throw one of these on.
21:16Well, it's very becoming.
21:18Uh, excuse me.
21:19I'm gonna run to the ladies room.
21:23Jesus.
21:24Not like you're both aglow or anything.
21:27Yeah.
21:28Those new?
21:29They're Harris's.
21:31Nice, right?
21:32What happened to the Ferragamos?
21:33I'm having them resolve.
21:35They got all messed up in here.
21:37Boss, I think I'm in love.
21:41Okay.
21:42Careful now.
21:43That's the oxytocin talking.
21:45The what talking?
21:46It's a hormone we produce after fucking.
21:48It's like a natural love drug.
21:51It's more than a drug.
21:53Do yourself a favor.
21:54Give it a few more weeks, and then you can start proposing.
21:57I'm pretty certain of my feelings.
21:59Yeah?
22:00Yes.
22:01Well, you know, I'm happy for you, Soufan.
22:04She seems like a great girl.
22:08Come on.
22:09Bring it in.
22:13What was that?
22:14You too gay now?
22:15Oh, you're just jealous.
22:16Hey, how about a titty twister, huh?
22:17I'm too fleet-footed, and you're too old.
22:20Ah, go piss on a ficus tree.
22:22What did...
22:23What's on that tie, anyway?
22:24A Rorschach test?
22:25Yes.
22:26And you know what?
22:27You wanna know is how did this guy manage to stick around the bureau for so long, huh?
22:31One like a fine wine.
22:33They never want to take me out of the cellar.
22:36Except when they need a good government dick in Kenya or other parts of the world where the water smells like used pantyhose.
22:42Well, I admire your long game, Chesney.
22:44My long game is about to come to an end.
22:47Calling it quits after the holidays.
22:49No shit.
22:50I put my time.
22:52My back's a wreck.
22:54My plantar fasciitis is killing me.
22:56So get some orthotics.
22:57I know a guy.
22:58What's up with you, Vince?
22:59You always got a guy.
23:01What I could really use is a couple of weeks in Cancun and some fucking Viagra.
23:05You should have Sifan here teach you Arabic.
23:07He can't be the only one effectively busting al-Qaeda balls.
23:10I could learn Arabic.
23:11You just want an excuse to travel so you can buy more high-end jogging suits.
23:15In all seriousness, everything that went down in Kenya just about did my head in.
23:21It's time.
23:23Well, you've earned it, Ches.
23:25Well done.
23:35I would like to buy an additional group of tickets.
23:38Again, I'll be paying in cash.
23:40Everybody?
23:41Everybody, please raise a glass.
23:55If you don't have something, get something.
23:59I'll be paying in cash.
24:00Sometimes it feels like he hates you.
24:04But that's only because he actually loves you.
24:09Who said love can't exist without pain?
24:12He loves this country.
24:14I don't know anyone who cares about the safety of his fellow citizen more.
24:24John O'Neil, you will be missed.
24:29The Bureau didn't deserve you.
24:32We were the lucky ones.
24:34Cheers.
24:35Cheers!
24:37Cheers!
24:39Cheers!
24:40Yeah.
25:10Such a beautiful skyline.
25:22Greatest city in the world.
25:24There's a new digs.
25:26Looks good from here.
25:29You know, for my 18th birthday,
25:32my parents took me to Windows on the World
25:34at the top of the North Tower,
25:36a wild blue dining room.
25:38We had a view of the New York Harbor.
25:41While we were waiting for our food to come,
25:44I stood up and I put my forehead right on the glass
25:47and I looked down at the Statue of Liberty.
25:51She was so...
25:52small and...
25:55perfect.
25:57You know, like a thing you keep on a shelf.
26:00I felt like I could just reach out and grab her.
26:03It made my dad so nervous he made me sit down again.
26:06What's your dad got against the Statue of Liberty?
26:09No, nothing.
26:11It turns out he was afraid of heights,
26:13which I never knew.
26:14He ordered a double scotch
26:16just to get through the rest of dinner.
26:18He was terrified.
26:20But he still took his little girl
26:22to the top of the Twin Towers.
26:24Did he let you drink?
26:26Let me.
26:27It's my 18th birthday.
26:28I ordered a half-garafe of the house red.
26:31Oh, that's my girl.
26:32What about you?
26:41Are you afraid of heights?
26:44Not if I got you to protect me.
26:48Come dance with me.
26:49I'll be right back.
26:58I'll be right back.
27:12I can't come?
27:14Not even a little peek?
27:15I'm sorry.
27:17At least it's luxurious out here.
27:20I don't see anything.
27:21Sir, you wanted to see me.
27:35Party's all done?
27:36Yeah.
27:39And Devenera.
27:42Yes, it is.
27:43How fast can you pack?
27:50Getting better at it.
27:52Need to put you on a plane to Yemen
27:53as soon as possible.
27:54You're gonna follow up
27:56on what's left of the coal bombing.
27:58This Massawi flight school situation
28:00at its headquarters
28:01is asking a lot of questions.
28:03There's obviously more Al-Qaeda activity
28:04than we know.
28:06Go pack.
28:07I'll call you within the hour.
28:09And let's try to smooth things out.
28:12With Bourdain.
28:42Thanks.
28:45No.
28:47I'll call you.
28:47I'll call you.
28:49I'll call you.
30:21Would you care for a private dance?
31:01Your skin is like chocolate water.
31:03Look at you all around in the corner.
31:09Come join the fun.
31:11Say no way!
31:13Someone with all that money shouldn't be such a party pooper.
31:29Let's go.
31:31Let's go.
31:33Let's go.
31:35Let's go.

33:48Hi, you've reached Heather.
34:10Leave me a message and I'll call you back.
34:18Give her some tea.
34:21Just a glass of water, please.
34:27That is Vittel.
34:29Current scam.
34:30Local retailers refill empty bottles with tap water.
34:34And then super glue.
34:35The cap, so it has that crack.
34:39It's not sealed in plastic.
34:41Do not trust it.
34:48I forgot how quickly I can get dehydrated here.
34:54Eventually you get used to the heat, like anything.
34:57It's good to see you, Agent Soufan.
35:00Welcome back to Aiden.
35:01Cheers.
35:02Cheers.
35:06Ambassador Bodine, I'd like to ask your advice about something.
35:11Shoot.
35:13I need to speak to Abu Jandal.
35:16He was being held for suspicion a few weeks back.
35:19I believe he's still in police custody.
35:22Can you help me?
35:24I'm afraid you'll have to go through General Kamish for that.
35:27Ah.
35:28He's a good man.
35:30I'll at least spend some time with him.
35:32Let him get to know you a little.
35:43Anybody home?
36:13He's a good man.
36:14He's a good man.
36:15He's a good man.
36:16So, did you hear about Ahmad Shah Masoud?
36:18Yeah, I heard that he was killed.
36:20But I don't have the details.
36:21It was a suicide bomber.
36:24He got the great lion of the Northern Alliance.
36:27Meaning Al-Qaeda, huh?
36:29Yes.
36:30It's been busy time for them.
36:34They shoot off their guns in celebration.
36:40Such a waste of bullets.
36:43You'd prefer fireworks?
36:45Yes, perhaps.
36:48You are really quite American, aren't you?
36:53The loose gunfire reminds me of my childhood.
36:56Bullets at all hours.
36:59Never knowing into what direction they're being fired.
37:03That's a sound that's never left me.
37:06You ever returned to Lebanon?
37:09Too many bad memories.
37:12So tell me, you invite me to eat with you here, under the stars.
37:32I assume Ambassador Boudin suggested this.
37:37Is there something you need from me?
37:42I need to speak with Abu Jandal.
37:45I'm starting to believe you are more persistent than your boss.
37:51I know.
37:52I know.
37:53And I'll know something about the call attack.
37:56We've been keeping Abu Jandal for months.
38:00And Chief Amin has come up with nothing.
38:02I don't trust Amin.
38:04This is too bad.
38:05Perhaps you should.
38:06Let's talk to Abu Jandal.
38:08Let's enjoy the meal.
38:09Let's do it.
38:10Let's do it.
38:12Let's do it.
38:16Let's enjoy the meal.
38:46The third day.
39:00The third day.

39:51I'm going to go.
40:14PHONE RINGS
40:46How's it going today, Michael?
40:47Fine, thanks, John. What can I get for you?
40:48Coffee, light and sweet, and, uh, bear claw.
40:51Got it.
40:55Here you go.
40:57Have a good one.
40:58You do the same. Thanks, bro.
41:00Next.
41:01Uh, coffee line.
41:03What do you got?
41:14It's me.
41:32Good morning, fellas.
41:33Hey, how's it going, John?
41:34Another day in paradise.
41:35That's one bird for you.
41:44Good morning, Kate.
41:46Good morning, Mr. Ann.
41:48Beautiful day out there.
41:50It certainly is.
41:52I put some 401 forms on your desk,
41:54but there's no rush on it.
41:56Thanks.
42:14Good morning, Mr. Ann.
42:44Good morning, Mr. Ann.
42:46Good morning, Mr. Ann.
42:48Good morning, Mr. Ann.
43:11On March 5, the CIA learns that Hasmi had actually entered the United States
43:17on January 15th, seven days after leaving the Al-Qaeda meeting in Malaysia.
43:23So now the CIA knows Hazmi is in the United States,
43:27but the CIA still doesn't put Hazmi or Midhar on the watch list
43:32and still does not notify the FBI about a very critical fact.
43:39A known Al-Qaeda operative, we're at war with Al-Qaeda,
43:43a known Al-Qaeda operative got into the United States.
43:48My question is, do you know specifically why the FBI was not notified of that critical fact at that time?
43:57The cable that came in from the field at the time, sir, was labeled information only,
44:01and I know that nobody read that cable.
44:03But my question is, do you know why the FBI was not notified of the fact
44:07that an Al-Qaeda operative now was known in March of the year 2000
44:12to have entered the United States?
44:14Why did the CIA not specifically notify the CIA?
44:19That's my question.
44:20The FBI.
44:20Sir, if we weren't aware of it, when it came in the headquarters,
44:24we couldn't have notified them.
44:25Nobody read that cable in the March time frame.
44:29So that the cable that said that Hazmi had entered the United States
44:34came to your headquarters, nobody read it?
44:36Yes, sir.
44:37It was an information only cable from the field,
44:39and nobody read that information only cable?
44:41Should it have been read?
44:42Yes, of course, in hindsight.
44:44Should it have been read at the time?
44:46Of course it should have been read.
44:47All right, my question is, do you know who should have read it?
44:50I don't know that, sir.
44:52But I can find that out.
44:53Was somebody responsible to have read it?
44:54Well, a group of people, somebody should have read it, yes, sir.
44:58We need to also look at where it came into, but I can find that out.
45:01You don't know who that person was?
45:03I do not.
45:03Should they have been watchlisted at the time, both of them?
45:09Now we're talking March of the year 2000.
45:13Yes, sir.
45:14We've acknowledged that fact.
45:15Okay.
45:15Do we know why in that specific time?
45:18Now we know that Hazmi has entered the United States.
45:22This is another trigger point.
45:24Yes, sir.
45:24They should have been watchlisted.
45:25Who was responsible for watchlisting at that time?
45:29I don't know the answer to that question, but I will provide an answer.
45:32I don't remember the al-Qaeda cells as being something that we were told we needed to do something about.
45:37Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the August 6 PDB warned against possible attacks in this country?
45:47And I ask you whether you recall the title of that PDB.
45:54I believe the title was Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.
45:59I believe the title was Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.
46:29And I believe the title of Ordean Determined to thank him as I said today.
46:35I believe that the title wasalty.
46:35It led vào our paganized Vadhaisée Everything in the United States.
46:38But I believe his name is acompanよし geas.
