00:01:33,626 --> 00:01:38,894
NEW YORK,
SEPTEMBER, 2003
2
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:53,170
My name is Michael Sullivan.
3
00:01:54,247 --> 00:01:57,200
And I have a story,
I think you're gonna want to hear
4
00:01:57,255 --> 00:02:01 ,953
BASED ON A TRUE STORY
5
00:02:05,994 --> 00:02:12,227
6
00:02:14,234 --> 00:02:18,000
7
00:02:18,204 --> 00:02:20,866
8
00:02:23,676 --> 00:02:29,706
9
00:02:32,018 --> 00:02:38,321
10
00:02:53,506 --> 00:02:57,465
UNITED NATIONS, NEW YORK
OCTOBER, 2002
11
00:03:02,849 --> 00:03:04,214
Michael Sullivan?
12
00:03:17,463 --> 00:03:19,744
How long have you been in as
lobbyist for Banco Belasquian?
13
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:21,924
Two years.
14
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:24,694
A lot of strategy,
research and reports.
15
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:27,600
That's a good job.
16
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,840
You're not happy there?
17
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:30,706
No, I'm just...
18
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:33,369
I don't want to wake up when I'm 40 and..
19
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:36,675
discovered the only thing I contributed to the world is,
20
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:39,147
tax shelters, sweatshops and
holes in the ozones.
21
00:03:39,352 --> 00:03:40,410
You're an idealist?
22
00:03:42,689 --> 00:03:45,021
For as long as I can remember,
I wanted to be a diplomat.
23
00:03:46,693 --> 00:03:48,684
I want to make a difference
in the world.
24
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:54,724
Your father was a diplomat.
25
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:57,226
Ah yeah. US state department.
He..
26
00:03:57,437 --> 00:03:59,735
Libanon, 1983.
27
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:04,308
I'm sorry for your lost.
28
00:04:08,848 --> 00:04:10,714
My father passed away when I was little.
29
00:04:13,886 --> 00:04:17,720
He was killed in the bombing of the US Embassy
in Beirut when I was 5 years old.
30
00:04:20,693 --> 00:04:22,627
One of my earliest memory is my father...
31
00:04:22,729 --> 00:04:24,959
telling stories about the founding
of the United Nations.
32
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,563
We find a way to end wars.
33
00:04:27,967 --> 00:04:31,301
He made it sound like modern day knights
sitting around the round table.
34
00:04:35,241 --> 00:04:36,902
I wanted to follow him in his foot steps.
35
00:04:41,214 --> 00:04:42,704
By the fall of 2002,
36
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:46,078
I have applied for a job at the United Nations
four times.
37
00:04:47,587 --> 00:04:51,114
My sister said it's because
foreign services is in our family legacies.
38
00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:53,691
Hey little brother, how are you?
Hello. Good.
39
00:04:53,793 --> 00:04:55,070
Sorry. I'm late.
You look good.
40
00:04:55,094 --> 00:04:56,094
And just like my mother,
41
00:04:56,195 --> 00:04:58,641
She married a guy
she met while interning in the UN.
42
00:04:58,665 --> 00:05:01,600
So I got you something small
but something else is on its way, ok?
43
00:05:02,335 --> 00:05:03,461
Hey, Trevor.
Hey.
44
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:04,670
Nice cake, Lily.
45
00:05:04,837 --> 00:05:06,437
Got enough Danish Flags?
Yeah.. yeah.
46
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:09,237
Well..Did you hear anything?
47
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:10,976
Ah..No.
48
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:12,305
I'll hear tomorrow.
49
00:05:12,578 --> 00:05:13,841
But how did it feel?
50
00:05:14,447 --> 00:05:15,447
Good?
51
00:05:15,982 --> 00:05:16,915
No.
52
00:05:16,983 --> 00:05:18,610
I was too nervous
53
00:05:19,085 --> 00:05:20,109
Oh well. It's their lost.
54
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:22,516
I'm sure you'll get it.
55
00:05:22,622 --> 00:05:24,488
You've been working so hard for this.
Yeah.
56
00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:28,059
Somebody's birthday,
So shall we do cake?
57
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:29,159
Yes!
58
00:05:29,228 --> 00:05:34,689
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you
59
00:05:35,668 --> 00:05:38,365
Happy birthday, Dear Kate
60
00:05:52,452 --> 00:05:55,683
These candidates keep getting harder than
getting hedge funds.
61
00:05:56,222 --> 00:05:57,553
Michael Sullivan.
62
00:06:00,893 --> 00:06:02,418
I knew his father.
63
00:06:05,898 --> 00:06:06,922
Danish passport.
64
00:06:07,567 --> 00:06:08,567
His mother side.
65
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:11,462
But he's only 24 years old.
66
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:15,967
He'll do.
67
00:06:23,549 --> 00:06:26,211
I thought I would start with some entry level assignment.
68
00:06:27,353 --> 00:06:28,793
Instead I got a dream job.
69
00:06:30,556 --> 00:06:32,957
Special assistant to the Under-Secretary-General.
70
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,554
Running the largest humanitarian program
in United Nation's history.
71
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:45,560
I couldn't believe my luck.
72
00:06:46,739 --> 00:06:49,985
All I could thinking was don't fuck this up.
73
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:52,840
The program is called
"Oil for Food".
74
00:06:53,379 --> 00:06:55,040
It was created in 1995.
75
00:06:55,114 --> 00:06:58,106
By Security Council resolution 986
which is stated that
76
00:06:58,317 --> 00:07:01,981
the UN will manage the sale of Iraqui oil
77
00:07:02,221 --> 00:07:07,318
And he used the profits to provide humanitarian relief
in the country to allieviate the hardship
78
00:07:08,127 --> 00:07:10,300
which basically means that...
79
00:07:10,350 --> 00:07:12,631
Our office is in charge of trying to feed the entire nation.
80
00:07:12,732 --> 00:07:14,222
Over 20 million people.
81
00:07:19,305 --> 00:07:21,239
You have a little reading to catch up on.
82
00:07:21,874 --> 00:07:25,242
We are wholefully behind schedule now
funding data reports to the security council.
83
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:28,676
Your immediate task would be to help facilitate its
completion.
84
00:07:28,915 --> 00:07:31,509
Your predecessor was due to brief Under-Secretary
tomorrow.
85
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:32,743
Tomorrow?
86
00:07:33,186 --> 00:07:34,244
What happened to him?
87
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:35,944
The car accident in Iraq.
88
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:50,327
Jesus Christ!
89
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:52,102
Is he all right?
90
00:07:52,171 --> 00:07:53,263
No, he didn't make it.
91
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,407
A bullet point summary will do.
92
00:07:55,842 --> 00:07:57,742
Pasha will be in his office at night.
93
00:08:34,213 --> 00:08:35,476
Got a couple of minutes, Michael?
94
00:08:36,682 --> 00:08:38,673
Justin Cutter, Central Intelligence.
95
00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:40,076
Really?
96
00:08:40,553 --> 00:08:42,544
Yeah, we come in all shapes and sizes.
97
00:08:43,556 --> 00:08:45,149
Ok. Can I help you with something?
98
00:08:46,092 --> 00:08:49,153
Listen. We think "Oil for Food" is being gained...
99
00:08:49,228 --> 00:08:52,061
for private gain
by a bad guy or by a bad guy's unknown.
100
00:08:52,431 --> 00:08:55,560
Possibly withheld from the inside
which is where you are.
101
00:08:56,235 --> 00:08:57,999
I just got this job.
102
00:08:58,204 --> 00:08:59,831
I'm not gonna,,
I'm not gonna spoil it through.
103
00:09:00,506 --> 00:09:01,564
Oh God no.
104
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:03,869
Leave that to the professionals.
105
00:09:04,076 --> 00:09:06,875
I don't want you to do anything
that makes you uncomfortable, Michael.
106
00:09:08,848 --> 00:09:10,577
Just keep your eyes and ears open.
That's all.
107
00:09:10,683 --> 00:09:12,208
For God and Country.
108
00:09:19,692 --> 00:09:22,662
I was aware going in "Oil for Food" program
109
00:09:22,728 --> 00:09:25,322
becomes a something of a "political football".
110
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:30,601
The program budget was 10 billon dollars a year.
111
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:34,563
The entire rest of the UN operation budget was only two.
112
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:36,569
It was crazy money to be had.
113
00:09:38,277 --> 00:09:40,677
Special interests circling like buzzard.
114
00:09:41,614 --> 00:09:42,945
The program was simple.
115
00:09:43,382 --> 00:09:46,283
Because of the economic sanction post against
Saddam Hussein
116
00:09:46,385 --> 00:09:47,985
after the first Gulf War,
117
00:09:48,321 --> 00:09:50,085
Iraqui ecomony hit crushed.
118
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:54,458
People were starving and dying
from the lack of basis medicines and staples.
119
00:09:55,928 --> 00:09:58,073
The "Oil for Food" program was designed to
provide
120
00:09:58,097 --> 00:10:01,431
Iraqui citizens with what they needed to survive.
121
00:10:01,968 --> 00:10:04,460
While at the same time preventing
Saddam from developing
122
00:10:04,704 --> 00:10:07,105
his alleged Weapons of mass destruction.
123
00:10:08,874 --> 00:10:11,969
Under UN supervision ,
Iraqui oil were being sold at market prices
124
00:10:12,078 --> 00:10:15,070
to pay for humanitarian aid.
125
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,713
Our job was to keep it funded
126
00:10:19,118 --> 00:10:21,382
by making sure everything went by the book.
127
00:10:22,888 --> 00:10:24,219
I'm here to present the summary.
128
00:10:24,724 --> 00:10:25,953
He'll be with you in a minute.
129
00:10:26,325 --> 00:10:27,656
This fucking regime!
130
00:10:28,094 --> 00:10:29,653
Unbelievable. Yes.
131
00:10:29,895 --> 00:10:32,489
I solved it and dissolved it as a solution.
132
00:10:32,598 --> 00:10:37,365
No, we charges the load of taxes
that should last to outline villages.
133
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:39,097
They don't get the trust back.
134
00:10:41,707 --> 00:10:43,106
You called this a "summary"?
135
00:10:46,345 --> 00:10:48,006
Fucking "War and Peace"
136
00:10:48,681 --> 00:10:50,445
Sorry sir.
I was trying to be thorough.
137
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:51,980
Thorough?
138
00:10:52,451 --> 00:10:53,451
Yes. Sir.
139
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,212
Fuck.
140
00:10:56,989 --> 00:11:00,118
Well, just give me the highlights kid.
Otherwise, we'll be here till spring thaw.
141
00:11:00,192 --> 00:11:05,221
Yes. We have to decrease the malnutrition rate.
Reduce child mortality.
142
00:11:05,731 --> 00:11:10,965
We've also made bid strike in access to water and electricity.
143
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:16,199
There are however some..systemic distribution failures.
Particularly in the North.
144
00:11:16,210 --> 00:11:21,311
The Kurds are getting shortage.
Wheat, Milk, diesel fuel
145
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:25,442
to the benefit of Tikrit
who are getting seemingly more than their fair share.
146
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:28,120
Saddam's hometown. What a surprise.
147
00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:29,721
Yeah.
148
00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:33,853
There are also all these after service fees
in the contracts.
149
00:11:35,227 --> 00:11:37,025
I'm pretty sure they kickbacks.
150
00:11:37,563 --> 00:11:38,655
If you want to take a look,
151
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:42,361
I'm highlighted and aggregated among
page 26 to 29.
152
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:52,678
It's a lot of money, Sir.
153
00:11:53,012 --> 00:11:56,209
In some places, it is much as 30%.
154
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:04,089
Sit.
155
00:12:05,691 --> 00:12:06,691
Kid.
156
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:08,727
Sit down.
157
00:12:12,031 --> 00:12:15,331
The first rule of Diplomacy is that
the truth is not the matter of fact.
158
00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:16,694
It's a matter of consensus.
159
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:19,564
The consensus right now is
the sanctions are here to stay.
160
00:12:19,672 --> 00:12:21,850
The Americans and the British will never lift them.
161
00:12:21,874 --> 00:12:23,000
which means...
162
00:12:23,609 --> 00:12:25,941
that if you want the people of Iraq to survive,
163
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,866
We have to keep "Oil for Food" running.
164
00:12:29,715 --> 00:12:31,342
Even with all these wars and flaws.
165
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:33,712
Sir. You don't...
The second rule is to keep your mouth shut and listen,
166
00:12:33,953 --> 00:12:36,354
and then if it suits you, you can talk.
167
00:12:36,589 --> 00:12:37,681
With discretion.
168
00:12:38,124 --> 00:12:41,094
Otherwise, keep your cards towards your vest.
169
00:12:43,095 --> 00:12:44,095
Yeah.
170
00:12:51,971 --> 00:12:54,997
Your father was a good man.
171
00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:00,679
You sure be so lucky as to have his heart.
172
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,079
Yes. I've been told.
173
00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:06,577
We crossed paths a couple of times.
174
00:13:07,686 --> 00:13:10,678
Must have been 79, 80.
175
00:13:12,725 --> 00:13:13,954
What a tragedy.
176
00:13:15,494 --> 00:13:16,494
Beirut.
177
00:13:18,497 --> 00:13:19,497
Fuck.
178
00:13:20,833 --> 00:13:21,833
I'm sorry.
179
00:13:23,669 --> 00:13:26,570
It must have been hard a boy growing up
without a father.
180
00:13:27,439 --> 00:13:28,838
It was my normal.
181
00:13:29,108 --> 00:13:30,234
I had my cry.
182
00:13:34,013 --> 00:13:35,013
Good.
183
00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:41,917
Fix your summary.
184
00:13:42,555 --> 00:13:43,989
Go home and pack.
185
00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:46,681
We leave for Baghdad
on a red light.
186
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:49,687
What? You have other plans?
187
00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:52,562
No. I don't.
188
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:55,834
Of course not. Thank you.
189
00:13:59,705 --> 00:14:03,369
BAGHDAD, IRAQ
190
00:14:31,637 --> 00:14:33,731
I was swapped up in the role I summoned.
191
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,005
I mean this is what I wanted.
192
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:38,973
High adventure and the worthy cause.
193
00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:43,148
It's like Baghdad was my "Casablanca".
194
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:50,417
More or less sketchy, crazy, dangerous and
stranger than I could ever imagine.
195
00:14:51,891 --> 00:14:54,690
The country live in the state of
permanant South occupation.
196
00:14:55,594 --> 00:14:58,120
Our Baghdad's office is
going to present a problem.
197
00:14:59,098 --> 00:14:59,963
Ok.
198
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:02,534
The contracted director sarbotaged the reports.
199
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:04,964
Why? Why would he sarbotage his own report?
200
00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:06,070
She.
201
00:15:06,605 --> 00:15:09,097
So the Security Council will be forced to lift a sanction,
202
00:15:09,208 --> 00:15:11,700
and everybody can cash in on the deals they made
with Saddam...
203
00:15:11,777 --> 00:15:14,337
back before he rouge into Kuwait
and pissed off the world.
204
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:18,016
Jesus H Christ, kid.
205
00:15:18,450 --> 00:15:20,714
I'm gonna have to fucking teach you in everything from scratch.
206
00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:25,457
Every six months, we have to justify our
continued existence.
207
00:15:26,892 --> 00:15:30,453
Our job right now is to write report
for the Security Council.
208
00:15:30,562 --> 00:15:34,226
Emphasizing for the good in
"Oil for Food" program
209
00:15:34,566 --> 00:15:36,694
whilst minimzing the challenges.
210
00:15:37,369 --> 00:15:38,962
Not to lie.
211
00:15:39,238 --> 00:15:40,569
No. Never lie.
212
00:15:40,973 --> 00:15:44,100
But to chose
213
00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:47,306
our facts or truths with the utmost care
214
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,738
Right.
215
00:15:52,351 --> 00:15:53,978
Can I trust you to do that?
216
00:15:56,822 --> 00:15:59,450
Yes. Absolutely.
217
00:16:25,684 --> 00:16:28,483
There she is. Madame Dupre.
218
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:30,683
Trying to backstab us.
219
00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:35,756
Christina.
220
00:16:39,498 --> 00:16:41,626
Hassan Ghazarian.
Michael Sullivan.
221
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:43,220
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
222
00:16:43,268 --> 00:16:44,667
Photo?
Oui.
223
00:16:47,339 --> 00:16:49,273
Did you get the documents I sent you?
I did.
224
00:16:49,475 --> 00:16:51,466
I even printed them out for you.
Oh Great.
225
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:53,877
It went well.
226
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:59,318
Sixty percent of the Iraqui people
227
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:03,553
are solely depended upon our supplies for survival.
228
00:17:03,989 --> 00:17:07,857
Wheat, grain, milk, medicines.
Essential infrastructures.
229
00:17:08,327 --> 00:17:09,419
During the last of ten months,
230
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:15,190
we have decrease malnutrition rate amongst children
in Iraq by fifty percent.
231
00:17:15,434 --> 00:17:19,200
Thereby reduce child mortality
significantly.
232
00:17:20,072 --> 00:17:21,233
Ok. Thank you very much.
233
00:17:21,473 --> 00:17:24,067
Photographers coming through.
We gonna have a photo opportunity
234
00:17:24,343 --> 00:17:25,708
with Madame Dupre.
235
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,207
It's hard to overstate how badly Saddam was
abusing his people.
236
00:17:33,218 --> 00:17:36,210
Friends of the régime
gets easy access to the medicines.
237
00:17:36,422 --> 00:17:38,220
Others, less fortunate,
238
00:17:38,590 --> 00:17:41,082
were left to die for even the simplest of diseases.
Wait.
239
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:48,330
They sent back drugs.
240
00:17:49,701 --> 00:17:52,102
Out of the prescriptions.
241
00:17:52,371 --> 00:17:55,932
Thank him for bringing this to me.
Tell him I'll definitely looking into it.
242
00:17:59,445 --> 00:18:02,574
He said there's a black market
with "Oil for Food" appears.
243
00:18:12,458 --> 00:18:14,756
Oh this innocent child.
244
00:18:14,827 --> 00:18:18,730
Please explain to her why she cannot have the stem cell
therapy that could cure her.
245
00:18:19,965 --> 00:18:23,401
Why she has to suffer because the West begrudges
246
00:18:23,410 --> 00:18:24,903
Iraq its dignity.
247
00:18:29,741 --> 00:18:31,368
That I can't explain. No.
248
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:46,819
She asked why you are crying.
249
00:18:59,004 --> 00:19:03,874
I promise I will do anything I can to help your child.
250
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,858
It sickens me to have to stand there and
listen to your lies.
251
00:19:24,062 --> 00:19:27,828
It's PR, Christina.
Everyone in the field is working so hard.
252
00:19:28,967 --> 00:19:32,369
Well, my report to the Security Council is
going to tell the truth.
253
00:19:33,372 --> 00:19:34,840
Just so you know.
254
00:19:35,541 --> 00:19:36,667
Your report.
255
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:40,101
The program is a failure.
256
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:43,525
The sanctions are not working.
How is the program failing?
257
00:19:43,549 --> 00:19:45,589
Medicines getting through.
At what cost?
258
00:19:45,617 --> 00:19:47,881
People are getting basis staples..
At what cost?
259
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:50,179
Everybody is grifting the system.
260
00:19:50,556 --> 00:19:53,355
Corruption grows like a cancer.
It will never be perfect.
261
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:55,220
And surely it's better than doing nothing.
262
00:19:56,728 --> 00:19:58,128
Michael, what's the delay?
263
00:19:58,197 --> 00:20:01,929
Ah sorry, It's just.. the security issues.
We'll be on our way in a few moments.
264
00:20:03,068 --> 00:20:04,558
I know what you are doing.
265
00:20:05,737 --> 00:20:08,104
You want me to sign off on your moral relativism.
266
00:20:08,574 --> 00:20:11,566
So you can throw me under the bus when it's all unravel.
267
00:20:11,677 --> 00:20:13,167
You are mistaken.
268
00:20:13,245 --> 00:20:16,510
I just trying to feed a Country.
Enough spins, Costa. Enough.
269
00:20:16,748 --> 00:20:18,375
The facts will speak for themselves.
270
00:20:18,684 --> 00:20:22,086
My report to the Security Council is going to tell the truth.
271
00:20:31,330 --> 00:20:35,164
HOTEL AL RASHEED BAGHDAD, IRAQ.
272
00:20:54,086 --> 00:20:56,384
Baghdad is the center of the Universe, kid.
273
00:20:56,588 --> 00:20:59,114
And this Al Rasheed is ground zero.
274
00:20:59,324 --> 00:21:01,258
Boiler room of Diplomacy.
275
00:21:12,971 --> 00:21:15,303
Pasha! Nice to see you again.
276
00:21:16,174 --> 00:21:17,972
Mr. Mohammed, my assistant.
277
00:21:18,744 --> 00:21:19,744
Michael Sullivan.
278
00:21:19,845 --> 00:21:22,177
Cut your fingers off if you
shake hands with this one.
279
00:21:22,581 --> 00:21:25,073
All major intelligence agencies are here.
280
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:27,145
All rooms above.
281
00:21:27,252 --> 00:21:30,222
Everyone try to bother in its secrets and services.
282
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:32,090
Information is everything.
283
00:21:33,392 --> 00:21:35,588
The currency, the power.
284
00:21:36,328 --> 00:21:38,888
Look. Listen. Learn.
285
00:21:43,001 --> 00:21:44,662
Everyone has their own agenda,
huh?
286
00:21:45,337 --> 00:21:48,466
May be Bush thinks Saddam
disrespected his papa.
287
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:53,109
American convinced democracy will bloom like
a fucking flower.
288
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:54,336
Good luck with that.
289
00:21:54,579 --> 00:21:57,480
Putin wants Bush to fail.
China wants a new market.
290
00:21:57,916 --> 00:22:02,854
Half of Europe couldn't care less about the Saddam.
Civillians are built of bombs, big oil.
291
00:22:03,689 --> 00:22:05,384
Simply want to end of the sanctions
292
00:22:05,490 --> 00:22:07,720
so he can suck an Iraqui dick ...
293
00:22:12,698 --> 00:22:14,689
So by the way, a doctor told me today.
294
00:22:17,069 --> 00:22:19,060
The bits of medicines missing supplies.
295
00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:21,995
I smell a setup.
296
00:22:22,541 --> 00:22:25,135
It didn't really feel like a setup.
No.
297
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:28,143
Nonsense.
She's not just an effective.
298
00:22:28,213 --> 00:22:29,624
She's actively prooving the program's failing.
299
00:22:29,648 --> 00:22:32,276
If we don't do something, this report
gonna be a disaster.
300
00:22:32,684 --> 00:22:34,379
Don't you get the final say?
301
00:22:34,486 --> 00:22:35,544
Sadly, no.
302
00:22:36,722 --> 00:22:42,559
UN protocols require regional director
signed off on the report.
303
00:22:44,996 --> 00:22:46,054
What's our agenda?
304
00:22:46,698 --> 00:22:49,861
Our agenda? That little girl
305
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:52,329
at the hospital.
306
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:55,737
God help anyone who gets in our way.
307
00:22:57,342 --> 00:22:58,468
Yeah.
308
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:17,593
I have a son once.
309
00:23:20,198 --> 00:23:23,691
Died from a flu. Just a baby.
310
00:23:25,737 --> 00:23:26,863
Can you believe that?
311
00:23:28,607 --> 00:23:29,972
And my wife..
312
00:23:32,878 --> 00:23:34,209
we couldn't make another.
313
00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:38,708
Sorry.
314
00:23:39,718 --> 00:23:41,208
30 years ago.
315
00:23:42,587 --> 00:23:44,021
How did you put it?
316
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:46,953
I have my cry.
317
00:23:50,962 --> 00:23:51,962
Flu.
318
00:23:55,967 --> 00:23:56,967
You tired?
319
00:23:58,303 --> 00:23:59,303
No.
320
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:01,436
Youth. Fuck.
321
00:24:16,588 --> 00:24:18,800
You know for someone who speaks for the people
for a living
322
00:24:18,824 --> 00:24:20,314
you don't talk much.
323
00:24:22,861 --> 00:24:25,626
I couldn't help...
324
00:24:25,697 --> 00:24:27,697
but notice you were not surprise when the doctor
325
00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:29,528
spoke of black market medicines.
326
00:24:31,102 --> 00:24:32,263
No, I wasn't.
327
00:24:34,339 --> 00:24:35,829
Will you tell your boss?
328
00:24:36,908 --> 00:24:39,741
Yeah. We already know and
is approaching the program.
329
00:24:41,613 --> 00:24:43,843
Outside Baghdad is much worse.
330
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:46,683
Rations diverted, power cut off.
331
00:24:47,085 --> 00:24:48,746
Extortion, Bribes..
332
00:24:51,456 --> 00:24:54,187
Well. I'll make sure Pasha knows that too.
333
00:25:06,972 --> 00:25:08,963
You have something you want to ask me?
334
00:25:11,076 --> 00:25:12,202
It's about Madame?
335
00:25:12,677 --> 00:25:15,408
That your boss wants you to find the secret button
336
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,546
he can push and bend her his way?
337
00:25:18,717 --> 00:25:20,151
I can tell you.
338
00:25:21,686 --> 00:25:23,154
It does not exist.
339
00:25:23,889 --> 00:25:25,414
I'm just trying to do my job.
340
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:36,425
But...
341
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:39,330
your predecesor, Abhek.
342
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:44,335
His car accident was not an accident.
343
00:25:47,979 --> 00:25:50,471
That's a pretty big accusation you made.
344
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:14,096
Why are you telling me this?
345
00:26:16,308 --> 00:26:18,743
He was murdered because of something he uncovered.
346
00:26:20,378 --> 00:26:21,738
Something in "Oil for Food"?
347
00:26:22,314 --> 00:26:24,976
I don't know. May be.
348
00:26:26,084 --> 00:26:28,883
He was feared for that someone
inside United Nations.
349
00:26:30,322 --> 00:26:32,450
A facilitator of corruption.
350
00:26:34,659 --> 00:26:36,889
You need to be very very careful.
351
00:27:18,203 --> 00:27:19,432
Good evening.
352
00:27:20,205 --> 00:27:21,331
Please.
353
00:27:29,214 --> 00:27:32,878
Mukhabarat you see
was concerned..
354
00:27:33,118 --> 00:27:35,883
to inspect your sleeping chamber
for the existence of any survillance device.
355
00:27:36,354 --> 00: 27:39,551
This as a courtesy for your security of course.
356
00:27:40,191 --> 00:27:42,216
Why don't you start by telling me who you are?
357
00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:45,828
Are you enjoying your visit to Mesopotamia, Mr.Sullivan?
358
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:48,830
First one if I'm not mistaken, yes?
359
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:52,365
Such a difficult stressful time for everyone here.
360
00:27:52,604 --> 00:27:55,164
The great satan keeps threatening to bomb the city
361
00:27:55,273 --> 00:27:57,605
meanwhile the sanctions cut deep.
362
00:27:58,376 --> 00:28:00,216
Baghdad ..
Why don't you get to the point!
363
00:28:03,615 --> 00:28:07,711
You will find on the bureau behind me
an envelope containing a small fee.
364
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:11,220
We greatly admired
the work you're doing for the Iraqui.
365
00:28:11,322 --> 00:28:14,348
It's late. I'd like you to leave.
Please.
366
00:28:21,099 --> 00:28:22,567
No disrespect was meant by it.
367
00:28:26,938 --> 00:28:28,702
Don't forget your envelope.
368
00:28:57,335 --> 00:28:59,702
Can't blame them for trying.
It's nothing.
369
00:29:00,238 --> 00:29:01,728
You handled it perfectly.
370
00:29:02,707 --> 00:29:03,707
Yeah.
371
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:07,943
What about what the interpreter said about Abhek?
372
00:29:09,447 --> 00:29:10,608
I don't believe it.
373
00:29:11,850 --> 00:29:15,252
Perhaps she's a spy for Saddam
sent to rattle us.
374
00:29:18,223 --> 00:29:19,987
You look like shit, kid. Fuck.
375
00:29:20,658 --> 00:29:21,658
Eat something.
376
00:29:35,673 --> 00:29:36,902
I'm sorry.
377
00:29:39,677 --> 00:29:40,677
Excuse me.
378
00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:43,911
I've been warned.
379
00:29:44,182 --> 00:29:46,222
But I was still shocked by the criticisims from
380
00:29:46,317 --> 00:29:48,445
UN staffs against the sanction
381
00:29:48,953 --> 00:29:50,250
Pasha was right.
382
00:29:50,488 --> 00:29:52,081
Every department had an agenda.
383
00:29:52,323 --> 00:29:54,155
They were working across purposes
384
00:29:54,259 --> 00:29:56,455
and played right into Madame Dupre's hands.
385
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:09,329
Shut up!
386
00:30:11,009 --> 00:30:13,103
You sound like Saddam's puppets.
All of you.
387
00:30:14,312 --> 00:30:18,112
Do I need to point out the serious fucking consequences
to Iraqui people
388
00:30:18,183 --> 00:30:19,860
if we fail to..
Sir, your violations..
389
00:30:19,884 --> 00:30:22,319
Are you fucking kidding me!
390
00:30:24,689 --> 00:30:28,057
It's not our place to question the decisions
of the Security Council.
391
00:30:30,862 --> 00:30:32,227
We implement them.
392
00:30:34,132 --> 00:30:36,965
Absent of all politics.
393
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:41,670
And yes, it's our fucking job sometimes.
394
00:30:44,008 --> 00:30:45,533
But if you can't do it,
395
00:30:45,877 --> 00:30:49,074
I suggest you turn in your fucking credentials
and go home.
396
00:31:01,025 --> 00:31:02,169
I knew from my research that
397
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:03,971
our biggest worry was Kurdistan.
398
00:31:03,995 --> 00:31:05,105
KURDISTAN REGION, NORTHERN IRAQ
399
00:31:05,129 --> 00:31:06,995
As long as Saddam was in power,
400
00:31:07,065 --> 00:31:10,330
It was gonna take all of Pasha's
considerable diplomatic skills
401
00:31:10,568 --> 00:31:12,768
to keep the Kurds from undermining the report.
402
00:31:13,137 --> 00:31:18,200
The rations, when they come,
I always have half of what was promised.
403
00:31:18,476 --> 00:31:21,138
The North is a protector,
so unfortunately...
404
00:31:21,212 --> 00:31:24,375
They even hit harder on the sanctions
than any other regions.
405
00:31:25,350 --> 00:31:27,944
while "Oil for Food" was
providing some relief.
406
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:31,250
It had helped sustain the very regime that suppress them.
407
00:31:31,356 --> 00:31:33,950
The Kurds have pits of money to buy their own food.
408
00:31:34,225 --> 00:31:36,091
From that black market oil!
409
00:31:36,294 --> 00:31:37,693
Mister, if you'd allow me,
410
00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:40,593
The Kurdish conflict with Iraq
goes back nearly a century.
411
00:31:41,699 --> 00:31:43,895
Saddam Hussein took it to a whole new level.
412
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:47,865
Force displacement,
mass detention and torture.
413
00:31:48,072 --> 00:31:50,939
And then when that didn't work,
resort it to land mines and cluster bombs.
414
00:31:51,209 --> 00:31:54,270
Sarin gas and nerve agents,
415
00:31:54,379 --> 00:31:57,371
killing ten of thousands and crippling
ten of thousands more.
416
00:31:58,249 --> 00:31:59,580
A reign of terror.
417
00:31:59,884 --> 00:32:04,617
that included the worst single act of
chemical genocide ever committed against the civillian population.
418
00:32:04,722 --> 00:32:07,885
Kurds are dying for simply being Kurdish.
419
00:32:09,027 --> 00:32:11,860
And in a shuttle diplomacy between two sworn enemies,
420
00:32:12,597 --> 00:32:14,361
I watched Pasha worked his magic.
421
00:32:14,432 --> 00:32:17,527
It's how the most beloved food Allah
422
00:32:17,602 --> 00:32:20,094
is that which is touched by many hands.
423
00:32:21,706 --> 00:32:23,367
Fuck. This is all I need.
424
00:32:23,574 --> 00:32:24,652
Kurdish minister is right.
425
00:32:24,676 --> 00:32:26,716
And from what I've been told,
they're getting completely screwed..
426
00:32:26,744 --> 00:32:29,179
I know he's right.
It's in the fucking field reports.
427
00:32:29,447 --> 00:32:31,108
But we have to keep a little bit.
428
00:32:31,316 --> 00:32:33,560
The choice can't be to feed everyone or feed no one.
429
00:32:33,584 --> 00:32:35,575
It has to be feeded to many as possible.
430
00:32:41,326 --> 00:32:43,260
I have to go back to New York tomorrow.
431
00:32:44,095 --> 00:32:45,655
I need you to stay focus.
432
00:32:46,097 --> 00:32:47,097
Of course.
433
00:32:48,833 --> 00:32:50,267
Here's your travel rights.
434
00:32:50,468 --> 00:32:53,438
You are connected to Kuwait, lands in JFK
at 5 pm.
435
00:32:55,673 --> 00:32:58,734
Dupre is going to freeze you out of the final report.
436
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:01,470
Her oppose is inditement for
"Oil for Food".
437
00:33:04,015 --> 00:33:06,677
Ok then why am I staying here then?
438
00:33:07,852 --> 00:33:10,480
In a few days, you'll receive some photographs.
439
00:33:10,855 --> 00:33:13,916
You want Hassan to see them
because you won't understand what they could mean.
440
00:33:14,258 --> 00:33:18,752
Your task is to make sure he shows them to Dupre
by insisting he shouldn't.
441
00:33:21,332 --> 00:33:22,332
You asking me if I...
442
00:33:22,467 --> 00:33:23,957
a trap. Yes.
443
00:33:24,202 --> 00:33:26,603
She'll fall into it,
and we'll be rid of her.
444
00:33:30,341 --> 00:33:31,365
Kid.
445
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:33,007
It's diplomacy.
446
00:33:33,478 --> 00:33:36,175
Sometimes require removing obstacles
447
00:33:36,247 --> 00:33:38,407
that standing in the way of successful outcomes.
448
00:33:42,420 --> 00:33:44,320
Can I trust you again with this one?
449
00:33:46,724 --> 00:33:48,886
I mean what lie am I gonna be telling?
450
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:51,025
Not lie.
451
00:33:52,730 --> 00:33:55,700
Just the opportunity to draw around conclusion.
452
00:34:16,387 --> 00:34:17,411
Morning.
453
00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:36,940
Just so you know,
454
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:41,701
Madame said you won't be reading reports
until it's finished and she signed off on it.
455
00:34:43,247 --> 00:34:44,737
I'll be by if she wants me to help.
456
00:34:45,316 --> 00:34:47,476
People in hell want ice water.
457
00:34:47,585 --> 00:34:49,314
We just ponds in the bigger game you and me.
458
00:34:51,255 --> 00:34:52,484
Sorry, Michael.
459
00:34:53,958 --> 00:34:54,958
Hassan.
460
00:34:56,461 --> 00:34:59,328
At least she can help me arrange an interpreter
for the field trip.
461
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,865
I want to open one of the boxes and
check the expiration date.
462
00:35:07,305 --> 00:35:09,103
He said he's the company representative.
463
00:35:09,307 --> 00:35:10,706
Tell him I want to open one of these boxes.
464
00:35:24,755 --> 00:35:26,746
These pills expired in 1999.
465
00:35:29,227 --> 00:35:31,628
Sick people will get sicker or die because of these.
466
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,640
Every box needs to be checked.
467
00:35:37,702 --> 00:35:39,693
And the out of date medicines
need to be destroyed.
468
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:42,338
And the Manufacture will have to replace it
at their own expense.
469
00:35:51,315 --> 00:35:52,680
I should warn you.
470
00:35:53,017 --> 00:35:55,349
Everyone here thinks I'm your prostitute.
471
00:35:56,988 --> 00:35:59,108
All right. we should split
the check up.
472
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:03,487
You can't really just ask for a date
without chaperone for women in Iraq.
473
00:36:04,595 --> 00:36:06,586
There are rituals and traditions.
474
00:36:06,831 --> 00:36:08,265
Do you want to call it off then?
475
00:36:11,702 --> 00:36:14,262
Did you tell your boss what I said about Ahbek?
476
00:36:17,008 --> 00:36:18,339
Yeah, I did.
477
00:36:19,477 --> 00:36:21,536
He thinks you might be a government spy.
481
00:36:34,091 --> 00:36:35,354
So are you? The spy?
482
00:36:37,061 --> 00:36:38,688
Is that a serious question?
483
00:36:39,564 --> 00:36:41,362
It's a pretty evasive answer.
484
00:36:44,068 --> 00:36:45,068
No.
485
00:36:51,375 --> 00:36:54,106
Now it's my turn to ask you.
486
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:55,679
Ok.
487
00:36:57,081 --> 00:36:58,571
What are you doing here?
488
00:36:59,517 --> 00:37:05,251
Well, I'm doing a status report for the
"Oil for Food" program and I'm gonna..
489
00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:09,358
I mean today with the spoiled medicines.
490
00:37:09,427 --> 00:37:12,692
What you did had nothing to do with writing a report.
491
00:37:13,564 --> 00:37:14,588
You took action.
492
00:37:15,366 --> 00:37:18,427
It was risky and rather brave.
493
00:37:19,870 --> 00:37:21,702
Was that just to impress me?
494
00:37:25,009 --> 00:37:27,341
I'm not here just to be a functionary.
495
00:37:28,746 --> 00:37:30,578
I took this job for a reason.
496
00:37:31,582 --> 00:37:33,016
Because I want to help people.
497
00:37:34,685 --> 00:37:36,380
And I want to make a difference.
498
00:37:38,456 --> 00:37:39,821
Make a difference?
499
00:37:40,958 --> 00:37:41,982
Exactly.
500
00:37:45,096 --> 00:37:46,564
I will drink to that.
501
00:37:47,565 --> 00:37:48,565
Cheers.
502
00:37:52,303 --> 00:37:53,930
They're not gonna bomb Baghdad.
503
00:37:54,005 --> 00:37:55,649
Without getting the UN staffs out...
504
00:37:55,673 --> 00:37:57,402
Mr. Sullivan?
Yeah?
505
00:37:57,475 --> 00:37:59,443
This has come for you.
Thanks.
506
00:37:59,910 --> 00:38:01,901
Ah... I've gotta go.
507
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,341
It was on my desk, sir.
508
00:38:20,731 --> 00:38:22,442
Are those "Oil for Food" trucks?
509
00:38:22,466 --> 00:38:24,230
Yeah. But I don't want to source them.
510
00:38:25,136 --> 00:38:29,505
If they're real, they are proof that we are being gamed
by Saddam Hussein.
511
00:38:29,607 --> 00:38:31,735
Yeah. "If".
I still don't think we should trust them.
512
00:38:32,443 --> 00:38:36,107
Using our trucks to deliver weapons?
I mean what the fuck?
513
00:38:37,114 --> 00:38:40,106
I just gonna packed them up
into carrier pouch..
514
00:38:40,551 --> 00:38:42,019
and see what Pasha thinks.
No, no.
515
00:38:44,555 --> 00:38:46,435
Let me show Christina first.
No.
516
00:38:46,557 --> 00:38:47,991
No.. No chance.
517
00:38:48,359 --> 00:38:50,350
It's ok. What do you call it?
518
00:38:51,562 --> 00:38:52,562
Chain of command.
519
00:38:55,366 --> 00:38:56,366
Ok.
520
00:39:23,994 --> 00:39:24,994
Hi.
521
00:39:25,696 --> 00:39:26,696
Hey.
522
00:39:27,865 --> 00:39:29,355
I need to show you something.
523
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:31,201
Ok.
524
00:39:38,142 --> 00:39:39,337
They are friends.
525
00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:42,679
Ok.
526
00:39:47,551 --> 00:39:50,384
KURDISTAN REGION, NORTHERN IRAQ
527
00:40:21,452 --> 00:40:25,389
So this place isn't here officially.
528
00:40:27,091 --> 00:40:33,360
These are the graves of Kurdish civillians that
Saddam Hussein suddenly decided they no longer needed to live.
529
00:40:34,865 --> 00:40:37,732
Gas, sarín, Tabún, Vx.
530
00:40:38,135 --> 00:40:40,035
The smell of sweet apples..
531
00:40:42,573 --> 00:40:45,668
He doesn't care about your
sanctions or resolutions.
532
00:40:46,744 --> 00:40:48,337
He's the angel of death.
533
00:40:49,313 --> 00:40:50,313
Azrael.
534
00:40:52,683 --> 00:40:53,912
You're Kurdish?
535
00:40:55,352 --> 00:40:57,013
My parents were intellectuals.
536
00:40:57,121 --> 00:40:58,680
Activists in UK.
537
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:01,771
Killed in Halabdja.
538
00:41:04,128 --> 00:41:05,186
I'm sorry.
539
00:41:06,363 --> 00:41:08,855
Nobody in Baghdad
knows I'm Kurdish, Michael.
540
00:41:09,533 --> 00:41:11,262
If Saddam spies find out,
541
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:12,959
they will disappear me.
542
00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:17,402
My friends they have Ahbek
uncovered on criminal conspiracies.
543
00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:21,434
Saddam is using to scheme billions of dollars from
"Oil for Food".
544
00:41:23,147 --> 00:41:25,582
Ahbek claimed there's a whole system of corruption..
545
00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:28,570
that reaches to the highest levels of
the same invested Government that
546
00:41:28,686 --> 00:41:30,347
support sanctions.
547
00:41:31,689 --> 00:41:33,179
Ok. How did Ahbek know this?
548
00:41:33,591 --> 00:41:35,616
There's a rumor. Office list.
549
00:41:35,860 --> 00:41:38,955
A list that contains names of people,
and organisations..
550
00:41:39,196 --> 00:41:42,029
all over the world who
are all getting paid off by Saddam...
551
00:41:42,132 --> 00:41:43,932
to keep the system running.
552
00:41:44,668 --> 00:41:46,466
And Ahbek had seen it.
553
00:41:46,871 --> 00:41:48,134
Did you bring it?
Yes.
554
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:51,536
They have had it on its computer.
You sure nobody saw you?
555
00:41:52,009 --> 00:41:54,239
The office has emptied.
Everyone has gone home.
556
00:41:55,379 --> 00:41:57,006
Ahbek, what's going on with you?
557
00:41:57,081 --> 00:41:58,207
I'm going North.
558
00:41:58,983 --> 00:42:00,508
Across the border.
559
00:42:00,584 --> 00:42:02,313
It's not safe for me here.
561
00:42:18,969 --> 00:42:20,130
He made a back up.
562
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,467
But it's encrypted.
563
00:42:26,076 --> 00:42:28,568
We don't have the sources to decypher it.
564
00:42:32,683 --> 00:42:35,209
Why didn't you take it to someone more senior
in the UN?
565
00:42:35,486 --> 00:42:37,352
I mean. Anyone? Madame Dupre.
566
00:42:37,421 --> 00:42:39,082
Nobody would listen to her.
567
00:42:40,090 --> 00:42:42,320
It's important who delivered the list.
568
00:42:43,427 --> 00:42:45,327
No one can accuse you of being
partisan of...
569
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:48,225
having an agenda about the truth.
570
00:42:48,432 --> 00:42:50,298
I'm not gonna hand this, Nashim.
571
00:42:51,201 --> 00:42:52,464
I'm not gonna do that.
572
00:42:53,971 --> 00:42:55,097
No. I don't want that.
573
00:42:55,306 --> 00:42:57,968
I just want you to take it back with you.
574
00:42:58,075 --> 00:42:59,702
And find someone who can break the encryption.
575
00:43:00,444 --> 00:43:03,470
And then together we can decide what to do.
576
00:43:31,875 --> 00:43:32,774
Shit!
577
00:43:32,876 --> 00:43:34,310
It's Mukhabarat.
578
00:43:37,247 --> 00:43:38,715
Are you fucking kidding me?
579
00:43:39,883 --> 00:43:40,883
Jesus.
580
00:43:54,665 --> 00:43:57,100
There must be a mistake.
I'm..an UN official.
581
00:43:57,868 --> 00:43:59,199
The young diplomat.
582
00:44:01,271 --> 00:44:05,333
You know it's very dangerous for you
to be in this God forsaken desert unescorted.
583
00:44:06,010 --> 00:44:10,675
Mukhabarat was concerned
you might have been kidnapped by these individuals.
584
00:44:12,683 --> 00:44:14,674
Consider this a courtesy.
585
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:16,177
Your paper.
588
00:44:27,197 --> 00:44:29,859
I'll tell you this with all humility, Mr. Sullivan.
589
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:31,465
Cos I'm sure it won't happen again.
590
00:44:31,669 --> 00:44:35,606
Your recent visit to the pharmaceutical
distribution service...
591
00:44:35,673 --> 00:44:38,870
that was unnecessarily provocative. Yes?
592
00:44:39,843 --> 00:44:42,471
It would be in everyone's best interest
in the future
593
00:44:42,546 --> 00:44:46,210
where you decide such inspections
were no longer necessary.
594
00:44:46,316 --> 00:44:47,681
They're armed!
595
00:44:51,121 --> 00:44:53,249
She is my interpreter. Right! I told you!
597
00:44:56,593 --> 00:44:57,685
Stop!
599
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:10,329
Go. Now.
Before they change their minds.
600
00:45:10,708 --> 00:45:11,834
Get in the car.
601
00:45:27,891 --> 00:45:29,222
He kept my papers.
602
00:45:31,695 --> 00:45:34,687
It's only a question of time now
before they find out who I am.
609
00:46:14,304 --> 00:46:15,635
Where is the girl?
610
00:46:15,739 --> 00:46:17,264
What girl?
The Kurdish girl.
611
00:46:17,341 --> 00:46:19,219
I don't know what you are talking about.
You are lying!
612
00:46:19,243 --> 00:46:21,007
I don't know what you are talking about.
Don't lie.
613
00:46:21,111 --> 00:46:22,655
I don't know where she is.
I saw you with her.
614
00:46:22,679 --> 00:46:24,408
Yeah. I know.
But I don't know where she is. Ok?
615
00:46:24,481 --> 00:46:26,711
Let me just.. Let me make a call.
616
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:29,948
I don't know where she is.
617
00:46:31,321 --> 00:46:32,321
Get out!
618
00:46:32,589 --> 00:46:35,251
You have no jurisdiction here. Out!
619
00:46:45,569 --> 00:46:48,470
It's Michael Sullivan from Baghdad
of "Oil for Food" office.
620
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:51,298
Yeah.
621
00:46:52,576 --> 00:46:53,576
Yeah.
622
00:46:54,678 --> 00:46:57,477
I need to arrange an UNLP
for one of our staffs here.
623
00:47:00,851 --> 00:47:02,444
Yeah.. The name is Nashim.
624
00:47:04,354 --> 00:47:05,354
Huesseni.
625
00:47:18,502 --> 00:47:19,502
Hey.
626
00:47:19,970 --> 00:47:21,563
I took all I could carry.
627
00:47:21,672 --> 00:47:23,299
This will get you to the US.
628
00:47:23,373 --> 00:47:25,733
The High Commission for Refugees
will help you get a VISA.
629
00:47:26,343 --> 00:47:30,177
I don't know. I can go to
Kurdish part of Turkey. I have some friends there.
630
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,941
No. You'll be safer in New York.
631
00:47:32,015 --> 00:47:35,349
We'll get you to the US.
And then we de-encrypt the list together.
632
00:47:37,888 --> 00:47:40,482
Go. You cannot be seen with me.
633
00:47:40,691 --> 00:47:42,125
Whatever happens..
634
00:47:44,995 --> 00:47:47,191
Just promise me you'll let me know.
635
00:47:49,066 --> 00:47:50,363
Whatever happens...
636
00:47:51,969 --> 00:47:52,969
happens.
637
00:47:53,470 --> 00:47:54,470
Right?
638
00:48:00,944 --> 00:48:01,944
Thank you.
639
00:48:04,014 --> 00:48:05,014
Thank you.
640
00:48:24,868 --> 00:48:27,200
Would you please come to my office
immediately?
641
00:48:31,742 --> 00:48:33,710
You really expect me to fall for these?
642
00:48:34,011 --> 00:48:35,911
These.. I don't even know what to call them.
643
00:48:36,013 --> 00:48:37,071
Garbage!
644
00:48:38,448 --> 00:48:41,110
What was the plan?
Shook me to releasing them?
645
00:48:41,852 --> 00:48:45,117
And then force me out when the evidence
comes this is false?
646
00:48:45,222 --> 00:48:47,247
I'm at loss.
I don't even know what you are talking about.
647
00:48:47,457 --> 00:48:48,515
Madame.
648
00:48:48,592 --> 00:48:49,957
I've sent some documents.
649
00:48:50,227 --> 00:48:51,787
Hassam wants to show them to you
that's it.
650
00:48:51,962 --> 00:48:54,260
You are finished in the UN.
Do you hear me?
651
00:48:54,898 --> 00:48:56,366
Your career is over!
652
00:48:56,566 --> 00:48:58,694
What will you have him do?
He got some photos!
653
00:48:58,969 --> 00:49:00,130
Shame on you.
654
00:49:00,237 --> 00:49:01,568
Shame on both of you!
655
00:49:04,007 --> 00:49:05,304
The report is finished.
656
00:49:05,676 --> 00:49:08,338
It tells the truth about the failure of
"Oil for Food".
657
00:49:08,979 --> 00:49:10,071
The files are in digital.
658
00:49:10,314 --> 00:49:12,612
watermarked, timed, date.
659
00:49:12,849 --> 00:49:14,442
And I have secure copies.
660
00:49:14,685 --> 00:49:17,848
So you can't change anything
when it goes to New York.
661
00:49:18,322 --> 00:49:21,087
The battle is over, Costa.
And you have lost.
662
00:49:21,325 --> 00:49:23,817
Security Council will make the decision
based on the facts.
664
00:49:34,237 --> 00:49:35,727
She's gone. Pasha.
665
00:49:37,841 --> 00:49:38,967
Well. Fuck.
666
00:49:40,143 --> 00:49:41,783
Nothing more for you to do there, kid.
667
00:49:42,679 --> 00:49:44,977
Take the next UN flight. Come home.
668
00:49:46,850 --> 00:49:48,113
Don't worry about it.
669
00:50:03,266 --> 00:50:07,999
JFK AIRPORT,
NEW YORK
670
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:10,840
Excuse me, Sir.
671
00:50:11,508 --> 00:50:12,873
Let me see your passport?
672
00:50:14,077 --> 00:50:15,238
Oh yeah.. Sure.
673
00:50:24,087 --> 00:50:26,419
Mr. Sullivan?
I need you to come with us.
674
00:50:48,145 --> 00:50:49,579
Michael, how are you doing?
675
00:50:51,982 --> 00:50:52,982
I have nothing for you.
676
00:50:53,216 --> 00:50:55,480
No, that's ok.
I got something for you.
677
00:50:56,420 --> 00:50:59,355
Christina Dupre is dead.
678
00:51:01,158 --> 00:51:04,253
They found her few hours ago alone at home.
679
00:51:04,694 --> 00:51:05,991
Heart attack.
680
00:51:06,229 --> 00:51:09,096
At least. That's what they're saying.
681
00:51:14,371 --> 00:51:16,703
What do you mean
"that's what they're saying."?
682
00:51:19,709 --> 00:51:21,302
What did you think happen, Mike?
683
00:51:27,217 --> 00:51:28,309
I... I don't..
684
00:51:29,086 --> 00:51:30,646
I have no idea.
Why would I?
685
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:31,720
Your boss.
686
00:51:32,222 --> 00:51:33,383
What does he think?
687
00:51:34,458 --> 00:51:37,450
You have questions for Pasha,
you should just ask him yourself.
688
00:51:39,696 --> 00:51:42,688
Did he ever mention anything about a list?
689
00:51:45,368 --> 00:51:46,699
No. Why?
690
00:51:50,607 --> 00:51:51,733
Michael.
691
00:51:54,044 --> 00:51:56,103
Is there anything you want to tell me right now?
692
00:51:59,382 --> 00:52:00,577
No.
693
00:52:12,829 --> 00:52:13,829
Thanks.
694
00:52:51,835 --> 00:52:53,496
Hello?
You are home.
695
00:52:55,372 --> 00:52:56,840
Yeah.. Yeah..
I just got in.
696
00:52:58,608 --> 00:53:00,201
Did you hear about Madame?
697
00:53:01,478 --> 00:53:02,478
Yeah.
698
00:53:03,713 --> 00:53:05,841
Terrible. Terrible.
699
00:53:07,484 --> 00:53:09,452
We have our disagreements
but..
700
00:53:09,986 --> 00:53:11,681
this has break my heart.
701
00:53:14,024 --> 00:53:16,322
And the.. the report?
702
00:53:17,093 --> 00:53:19,653
Hassan has shown me that he doesn't share
the Madame's determination
703
00:53:19,729 --> 00:53:21,207
to block the program...
704
00:53:21,231 --> 00:53:23,529
He will sign off as her successor
705
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,591
I want everything to get refunded.
706
00:53:26,069 --> 00:53:28,868
Madame was wrong.
Being fucking dead doesn't change that.
707
00:53:29,706 --> 00:53:31,196
You have two days to clean this up.
708
00:53:31,575 --> 00:53:34,374
What do you mean I've got two days
to clean this up?
709
00:53:34,578 --> 00:53:37,445
I thinking I might need you to present
the oral summary.
710
00:53:37,681 --> 00:53:40,082
Wait. Do you want me to present the report?
711
00:53:41,117 --> 00:53:42,917
To the old fucking Security Council.
712
00:53:43,019 --> 00:53:45,078
Isn't that break your protocol Pasha?
713
00:53:46,089 --> 00:53:47,420
I can do what I like.
714
00:53:48,024 --> 00:53:51,187
Besides they should be hearing from
somebody close to the ground
715
00:53:51,261 --> 00:53:53,161
than whom else can I toss to do it?
716
00:53:55,098 --> 00:53:56,429
Ok. Yeah..
717
00:54:17,454 --> 00:54:18,454
Are you kidding me?
718
00:54:18,588 --> 00:54:20,078
This is such a big deal.
719
00:54:20,323 --> 00:54:23,315
For somebody, your pay grade
stands before the Security Council?
720
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,894
Yeah. I know it's a great opportunity.
721
00:54:27,430 --> 00:54:28,556
What?
722
00:54:29,232 --> 00:54:30,597
Where do you get this?
723
00:54:30,967 --> 00:54:32,298
A friend in Baghdad.
724
00:54:32,736 --> 00:54:34,966
No. I mean I can't crack this.
725
00:54:36,139 --> 00:54:37,664
Do you know anyone who can?
726
00:54:39,442 --> 00:54:41,069
Do you even know what's on the drive?
727
00:54:43,847 --> 00:54:44,871
No.
728
00:54:45,749 --> 00:54:47,717
Do you know anyone who can crack it?
729
00:54:48,451 --> 00:54:49,748
Yeah.. I'll give it a try.
730
00:54:49,953 --> 00:54:52,251
Mind if I.. hold on to this?
731
00:54:52,455 --> 00:54:53,455
Yeah. Keep it.
732
00:54:53,990 --> 00:54:56,823
Yeah, I was given this was a possible
contact number for her.
733
00:54:58,328 --> 00:55:00,092
Yeah. Exactly. Michael Sullivan.
734
00:55:03,500 --> 00:55:04,934
No. I understand, yeah.
735
00:55:05,001 --> 00:55:07,470
Just.. the number I gave you.
If you could make sure,
736
00:55:07,570 --> 00:55:11,598
you or one of your colleagues
gets back to me if you hear anything at all.
737
00:55:15,612 --> 00:55:19,105
Madame Dupre's death hang over
"Oil for Food" program like a cloud.
738
00:55:20,016 --> 00:55:22,314
But Pasha had a clear path for what he wanted.
739
00:55:27,457 --> 00:55:29,221
I focus on writing the report.
740
00:55:32,195 --> 00:55:35,460
I didn't want anyone to doubt that
I deserve to be in that room.
741
00:55:38,001 --> 00:55:39,969
I couldn't help think about my father.
742
00:55:40,704 --> 00:55:43,664
Whether he'd stood before the Council
like I would.
743
00:55:44,207 --> 00:55:46,972
Whether he would think of what he was doing
was right.
744
00:56:16,072 --> 00:56:17,198
You ok?
745
00:56:17,841 --> 00:56:19,206
I'm ok now.
746
00:57:22,105 --> 00:57:25,973
They are one hundred percent fucking
certainty WMD is in Iraq,
747
00:57:26,342 --> 00:57:28,504
and zero percent certainty where they are.
748
00:57:28,611 --> 00:57:29,840
Let me call you back.
749
00:57:30,180 --> 00:57:31,238
Finished.
750
00:57:31,314 --> 00:57:33,180
Pending your review and Hassan signed off.
751
00:57:35,452 --> 00:57:36,613
That's my boy.
752
00:57:37,086 --> 00:57:38,178
Good work.
753
00:57:41,991 --> 00:57:43,322
I got a call..
754
00:57:44,961 --> 00:57:46,986
from Oversight.
755
00:57:47,997 --> 00:57:53,094
About your UNLP request
for our sexy little tr anslator.
756
00:57:53,336 --> 00:57:54,963
They ask me to look into it.
757
00:57:55,238 --> 00:57:57,434
I believe she's in New York now.
758
00:57:57,674 --> 00:57:58,674
Right.
759
00:57:59,342 --> 00:58:00,400
She's Kurdish.
760
00:58:00,477 --> 00:58:01,808
She needs an asylum.
761
00:58:01,911 --> 00:58:04,243
They killed two of her countrymen.
762
00:58:04,314 --> 00:58:06,112
Kurdish don't have a country.
763
00:58:18,194 --> 00:58:20,185
She makes friends like you everywhere.
764
00:58:20,697 --> 00:58:21,697
All the tricks in the book.
765
00:58:21,965 --> 00:58:22,989
The honeypot.
766
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:25,195
CIA calls it a "the tangle" now.
767
00:58:25,468 --> 00:58:27,493
Seduce them up.
Tell them fairy tales.
768
00:58:28,137 --> 00:58:30,071
It's not just the russians, notice?
769
00:58:30,974 --> 00:58:32,339
CIA.
770
00:58:33,343 --> 00:58:35,175
MI5, Interpol.
771
00:58:35,245 --> 00:58:37,009
Girl has a big following.
772
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:38,760
Pashmerga sent it to school in England.
773
00:58:38,982 --> 00:58:41,622
Got a phoney paper and a job
in Baghdad, UN.
774
00:58:43,219 --> 00:58:44,880
What is she want you to do?
775
00:58:46,689 --> 00:58:47,689
Nothing.
776
00:58:48,191 --> 00:58:50,683
I bet she's hiding skills in the soft art.
777
00:58:57,066 --> 00:59:00,001
What you did is stupid and illegal.
778
00:59:00,203 --> 00:59:01,364
I'll make it go away.
779
00:59:01,571 --> 00:59:04,211
In future if you're gonna do these things,
you've got to come to me first.
780
00:59:18,388 --> 00:59:20,857
Who gave you this?
It doesn't matter.
781
00:59:23,426 --> 00:59:24,985
You've been using me.
782
00:59:25,428 --> 00:59:27,089
No.
Yes.
783
00:59:29,966 --> 00:59:32,196
You said you wanted to help.
784
00:59:33,436 --> 00:59:37,066
Our meeting wasn't like that... I really..
Fucking bullshit, Nashim. I know how this works.
785
00:59:37,874 --> 00:59:39,740
Do you?
Yeah.
786
00:59:40,877 --> 00:59:43,869
Yes. Ok.
I''m guilty of taking a job in Bagdad
787
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,139
and try to find a way to help
my people.
788
00:59:46,249 --> 00:59:49,082
Get free of a dictator who wants to
exterminate us.
789
00:59:50,253 --> 00:59:52,984
And yes, I talked with men
who might be off help.
790
00:59:53,890 --> 00:59:56,552
But I didn't sleep with any of them, Ok?
791
00:59:56,893 --> 00:59:58,133
I didn't have to.
Nashim.
792
00:59:58,227 --> 01:00:01,686
You have asked me to risk my life
for the list..
793
01:00:01,898 --> 01:00:04,265
that I don't even know where it fucking came from.
794
01:00:05,435 --> 01:00:06,435
This is...
795
01:00:12,709 --> 01:00:13,972
I'm sorry but..
796
01:00:14,744 --> 01:00:16,212
This is who I am.
797
01:00:21,250 --> 01:00:22,718
Do you want me to leave?
798
01:01:23,379 --> 01:01:24,379
Hi!
799
01:01:24,614 --> 01:01:25,614
Hey.
800
01:01:26,115 --> 01:01:27,549
I came to wish you luck.
801
01:01:28,851 --> 01:01:29,851
Hey, man.
802
01:01:29,986 --> 01:01:31,106
Knock them dead.
Thank you.
803
01:01:32,321 --> 01:01:33,652
Ready?
Yeah.
804
01:01:33,723 --> 01:01:35,987
You'll do great. Relax.
Thanks.
805
01:01:39,729 --> 01:01:43,427
In an unusual move at today's
United Nations "Oil for Food" vote,
806
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:46,226
Under-Secretary-General Costa Passaris..
807
01:01:46,703 --> 01:01:49,570
yielded his chair to his
executive assistant Michael Sullivan
808
01:01:49,839 --> 01:01:52,706
to present the report
on the status of the program.
809
01:01:53,076 --> 01:01:58,071
The "Oil for Food' program continues to
achieve its core mission of providing humanitarian relief.
810
01:01:58,514 --> 01:02:00,710
The request for continue funding comes
811
01:02:00,950 --> 01:02:03,544
in a wake of the sudden death of
Baghdad field director
812
01:02:03,853 --> 01:02:06,413
Christina Dupre,
who is a vocal critic of the program.
813
01:02:06,856 --> 01:02:09,348
And against the backdrop of
the intensifying efforts
814
01:02:09,425 --> 01:02:11,670
to find Saddam Hussein suspected cashes and
815
01:02:11,694 --> 01:02:13,374
weapons of mass destruction.
816
01:02:13,563 --> 01:02:19,866
Continuing resolution 986,
the Council has voted unanimously.
817
01:02:20,703 --> 01:02:25,231
to extend funding for another 180 days.
818
01:02:25,341 --> 01:02:28,208
Michael Sullivan address the press
after the Security Council vote.
819
01:02:53,236 --> 01:02:57,230
I don't understand why you want here,
like me? Why?
820
01:02:57,673 --> 01:02:58,731
I know.
821
01:02:58,975 --> 01:03:00,602
Me neither. Let's get a drink, ok?
822
01:03:00,843 --> 01:03:01,843
Here you are.
823
01:03:02,178 --> 01:03:04,203
My prodigy. Michael Sullivan.
824
01:03:05,615 --> 01:03:07,083
Timur Rasnetsov.
825
01:03:09,452 --> 01:03:11,944
Costa insists you were the hero of
"Oil for Food".
826
01:03:14,490 --> 01:03:15,980
And here is Nashim.
827
01:03:16,993 --> 01:03:17,993
Lovely.
828
01:03:18,661 --> 01:03:20,595
Welcome to the USA.
829
01:03:20,663 --> 01:03:21,663
Thank you.
830
01:03:22,598 --> 01:03:23,598
Where is your drink?
831
01:03:23,833 --> 01:03:26,734
I think we even have some Arak
tuck away.
832
01:03:30,606 --> 01:03:32,096
So how have you been?
833
01:03:33,576 --> 01:03:34,839
Fine. Thank you.
834
01:03:35,611 --> 01:03:36,611
Great.
835
01:03:38,881 --> 01:03:40,679
Well, enjoy your evening.
836
01:03:51,694 --> 01:03:54,061
You must be the young diplomat Michael Sullivan.
837
01:03:54,330 --> 01:03:56,458
My husband is always talking about you.
838
01:03:56,699 --> 01:03:57,632
Nice to meet you. Plesure.
839
01:03:57,700 --> 01:03:59,300
I'm Melina, Pasha' wife.
840
01:03:59,468 --> 01:04:00,367
Of course, Yes.
841
01:04:00,469 --> 01:04:04,463
Pasha gushes about you.
Pasha doesn't gush about anyone.
842
01:04:04,874 --> 01:04:06,672
Yeah. He certainly told me a lot.
843
01:04:07,376 --> 01:04:08,844
It can never work.
844
01:04:10,546 --> 01:04:13,277
Is that the proud Papa
protecting his surrogate son?
845
01:04:13,349 --> 01:04:15,613
Don't patronize me.
846
01:04:18,487 --> 01:04:20,979
Is this so unthinkable that
I could be in love with him?
847
01:04:22,859 --> 01:04:24,327
You are what you are.
848
01:04:27,129 --> 01:04:28,893
You cannot fool me.
849
01:04:31,701 --> 01:04:33,465
You gave him the file on me.
850
01:04:34,704 --> 01:04:36,001
Listen.
851
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,207
If you do anything to compromise the kid
or hurt him,
852
01:04:40,443 --> 01:04:43,572
I will have you deported so fast
your hijab would spin.
853
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,681
No.. I have to.. I have to go.
854
01:04:48,885 --> 01:04:51,115
My apologies. I have to deal with something.
855
01:04:53,723 --> 01:04:55,452
How long have you known that guy for?
856
01:04:56,092 --> 01:04:59,687
He came with the delegation.
We just met. Why?
857
01:04:59,896 --> 01:05:02,558
He was the one who tried to bribe me
in my Hotel in Baghdad.
858
01:05:03,432 --> 01:05:06,060
Paradics is very well connected.
Could be useful.
859
01:05:10,072 --> 01:05:11,072
I've gotta go.
860
01:05:11,574 --> 01:05:14,874
What the fuck was that man doing
at the party?
861
01:05:16,345 --> 01:05:17,345
I don't know.
862
01:05:19,949 --> 01:05:21,110
What did Pasha want?
863
01:05:24,020 --> 01:05:25,112
He threatened me.
864
01:05:27,223 --> 01:05:28,691
Your boss threatened me.
865
01:05:33,396 --> 01:05:34,396
Hello?
866
01:05:34,697 --> 01:05:37,894
Michael, my guy came through,
you better come see this.
867
01:05:37,967 --> 01:05:39,264
You're not gonna believe this.
868
01:05:40,136 --> 01:05:43,003
Saddam. He's been selling Oil vouchers.
869
01:05:43,105 --> 01:05:47,736
At that discount, the people who turn around,
resell the vouchers with the going on pay grade.
870
01:05:47,977 --> 01:05:49,672
For huge profits.
871
01:05:50,179 --> 01:05:54,844
Saddam gets a kickback,
shares the difference between his discounts on a going rate.
872
01:05:55,484 --> 01:05:57,077
How much does he make?
873
01:05:58,120 --> 01:05:59,720
Could be over a billion dollars.
874
01:06:01,090 --> 01:06:02,182
Jesus Christ!
875
01:06:03,092 --> 01:06:04,617
We know if these are real?
876
01:06:04,694 --> 01:06:05,694
They look real.
877
01:06:06,128 --> 01:06:07,596
And it looks like a system.
878
01:06:07,663 --> 01:06:10,758
There's a list of all the major players,
879
01:06:10,833 --> 01:06:13,461
Politcians, Businessmen, Bankers.
880
01:06:14,103 --> 01:06:16,902
We're talking highly placed people..
881
01:06:17,106 --> 01:06:20,098
at the very heart of most first world goverments.
882
01:06:20,843 --> 01:06:24,245
They are taking millions of dollars
and bribes.
883
01:06:24,447 --> 01:06:26,438
This is real. Of course, it's real.
884
01:06:26,749 --> 01:06:30,310
Well. To proove it, you gonna need records
of the actual transactions.
885
01:06:31,620 --> 01:06:33,145
You need to get this to Pasha.
886
01:06:33,255 --> 01:06:34,689
This is an UN internal matter.
887
01:06:34,957 --> 01:06:37,119
You do not want to be left holding the bag on this.
888
01:06:37,593 --> 01:06:41,496
Amongst the encrypted documents,
I found this video codec.
889
01:06:41,831 --> 01:06:42,957
How long does it run for?
890
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,662
71 minutes.
71 minutes is a strange time.
891
01:06:47,570 --> 01:06:49,868
I sort of scroll through a bit,
it's pretty much the same.
892
01:06:53,843 --> 01:06:55,004
Zoom in.
893
01:07:00,016 --> 01:07:01,074
Go back.
894
01:07:28,210 --> 01:07:29,210
I knew it.
895
01:07:30,079 --> 01:07:32,138
I fucking knew it. I knew..
896
01:07:32,681 --> 01:07:34,080
I knew that he was involved.
897
01:07:34,550 --> 01:07:36,382
We need to make the list public.
898
01:07:36,685 --> 01:07:38,050
We can't do that.
899
01:07:38,154 --> 01:07:39,154
They'll just deny it.
900
01:07:40,356 --> 01:07:42,154
Then all it'll do is destroy the UN.
901
01:07:42,358 --> 01:07:44,718
We need to find someone
to start asking questions.
902
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:46,872
"Media, The Congress",
the truth will come out.
903
01:07:46,896 --> 01:07:50,696
All these powerful interests in play,
they will decide what the truth is.
904
01:07:50,900 --> 01:07:53,892
Pasha will be the sacrificial lamb
and my career will be over.
905
01:07:53,969 --> 01:07:54,969
You are not part of this.
906
01:07:55,037 --> 01:07:56,237
Of course, I'm fucking part of this.
907
01:07:56,305 --> 01:07:58,745
I just gave a speech about the integrity
for "Oil for Food".
908
01:07:58,908 --> 01:08:01,570
What are you saying? Do nothing?
I don't know what I'm saying.
909
01:08:23,699 --> 01:08:24,699
What's going on?
910
01:08:25,568 --> 01:08:27,434
Michael! Somebody!
911
01:08:42,718 --> 01:08:45,312
Man, you ok?
You need me to call 911?
912
01:09:28,597 --> 01:09:29,860
Where is she?
I don't know.
913
01:09:30,099 --> 01:09:32,477
Call your friend. Tell him
I will trade what he wants for Nashim.
914
01:09:32,501 --> 01:09:33,525
He's not my friend.
915
01:09:33,636 --> 01:09:36,662
Pasha, I have a video of you taking
a fucking bribe from him.
916
01:09:40,543 --> 01:09:43,035
You gonna come inside, kid or
do we have to do this out here?
917
01:09:43,145 --> 01:09:44,442
We gonna do this out here.
918
01:09:45,981 --> 01:09:48,348
I take a cut. Sure.
919
01:09:48,984 --> 01:09:51,214
Why not? Everyone else has.
920
01:09:52,221 --> 01:09:56,488
I put my whole career on the line
for this mission every fucking day.
921
01:09:59,094 --> 01:10:00,994
Come inside, kid. It's cold.
922
01:10:08,871 --> 01:10:10,839
Rasnetsov is a fixer.
923
01:10:11,574 --> 01:10:13,201
He's a very dangerous man.
924
01:10:14,343 --> 01:10:18,837
Nothing in Iraq runs. Nothing without him.
925
01:10:19,081 --> 01:10:20,310
And who wants him?
926
01:10:20,382 --> 01:10:21,508
The highest bidder.
927
01:10:22,218 --> 01:10:25,483
Moscow, Beijing, Saddam,
hedge funds, mafia, Greek.
928
01:10:25,721 --> 01:10:30,090
Rasnetsov is a bridge between
politics and reality.
929
01:10:30,326 --> 01:10:31,725
And whose sides are you on, Pasha?
930
01:10:34,230 --> 01:10:35,994
I thought I heard you coming.
931
01:10:36,599 --> 01:10:38,226
Sit down Michael. Please.
932
01:10:41,003 --> 01:10:42,027
I'll make the call.
933
01:10:46,242 --> 01:10:47,242
Coffee?
934
01:10:48,711 --> 01:10:49,872
Yeah, thanks.
935
01:10:55,718 --> 01:10:57,584
Did you enjoy the party last night?
936
01:10:58,220 --> 01:10:59,813
Yeah, we had a great time. Thank you.
937
01:11:00,089 --> 01:11:01,955
You left so early. I wondered.
938
01:11:02,491 --> 01:11:05,256
My friend.. She wasn't feeling too well.
939
01:11:09,231 --> 01:11:10,665
It's a flu season.
940
01:11:13,235 --> 01:11:14,235
Yeah.
941
01:11:16,438 --> 01:11:18,167
Well, I'll leave you to it.
942
01:11:23,445 --> 01:11:25,607
They handed her over to Immigration.
943
01:11:25,714 --> 01:11:27,079
Ok. Was she has papers?
944
01:11:27,383 --> 01:11:29,078
I think they find them missing.
945
01:11:30,252 --> 01:11:31,981
She becomes an irritation.
946
01:11:32,087 --> 01:11:34,749
If she gets deported to Iraq,
they will execute her for treason.
947
01:11:34,823 --> 01:11:37,383
I'll send her back to Baghdad,
I still have some sway.
948
01:11:37,593 --> 01:11:41,154
No, you call him back and tell him,
I'm not gonna give up the list until Nashim sets free.
949
01:11:41,263 --> 01:11:42,822
That's not how it works.
950
01:11:43,332 --> 01:11:45,596
You need to trust me.
I did trust you Pasha.
951
01:11:45,668 --> 01:11:48,137
I trusted you and you fucked me
in every turn.
952
01:11:49,338 --> 01:11:50,897
Look where we are.
953
01:11:51,106 --> 01:11:52,767
Committing crimes and taking bribes.
954
01:11:52,841 --> 01:11:54,321
The crime would have been to do nothing
955
01:11:54,443 --> 01:11:56,605
to watch innocence suffer and die.
956
01:11:56,845 --> 01:11:59,212
What about Dupre, and what about Ahbek?
What was the justification for that?
957
01:11:59,315 --> 01:12:01,010
We didn't make the storm.
958
01:12:01,684 --> 01:12:03,311
We can't control the strom.
959
01:12:03,986 --> 01:12:08,446
All we can do is plot our course,
set out sails and try to do our best.
960
01:12:08,691 --> 01:12:10,056
As we did and we do.
961
01:12:10,326 --> 01:12:12,226
Best for whom? Pasha.
Best for you?
962
01:12:12,328 --> 01:12:14,558
Not best for Nashim. Not best for her people.
963
01:12:15,564 --> 01:12:18,363
Look. May be you love the spy.
Fuck.
964
01:12:19,868 --> 01:12:21,836
Who am I to argue with a heart?
965
01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:27,002
Don't let her get you killed.
966
01:12:32,681 --> 01:12:36,117
We can help her people.
But we have to do it our way.
967
01:12:36,985 --> 01:12:40,353
Bush's coalition of the willing
is going to invade Iraq
968
01:12:40,556 --> 01:12:43,321
in a matter of days now.
Consensus is changing.
969
01:12:43,559 --> 01:12:46,051
If it's truth, Saddam is history.
970
01:12:46,495 --> 01:12:49,624
And "Oil for Food" can be
successful framework
971
01:12:49,965 --> 01:12:52,696
for rebuilding of a new free Iraq
972
01:12:52,968 --> 01:12:57,428
in which the United Nations,
not the carpet buggers and craven carvens
973
01:12:57,706 --> 01:13:00,869
who created this nightmare.
The UN can take the lead fucking role.
974
01:13:02,611 --> 01:13:03,669
You and me, kid.
975
01:13:06,248 --> 01:13:07,716
We can save the world.
976
01:13:08,951 --> 01:13:10,350
And save your girl.
977
01:13:16,692 --> 01:13:17,692
Trust me.
978
01:13:21,430 --> 01:13:23,023
My fellow citizens.
979
01:13:23,232 --> 01:13:26,361
At this hour,
America and college enforces are
980
01:13:26,568 --> 01:13:28,808
in early stages of military operations
981
01:13:28,904 --> 01:13:31,896
to disarm Iraq,
to free his people.
982
01:13:32,241 --> 01:13:34,232
And to defend the world from grave danger.
983
01:13:38,380 --> 01:13:40,940
Over the next 24 to 48 hours,
984
01:13:41,216 --> 01:13:45,881
perhaps as many as three thousand..
three thousand missiles
985
01:13:46,221 --> 01:13:49,623
Satellite guided precision bombs,
laser guided bombs
986
01:13:49,725 --> 01:13:53,457
would be dropped at various targets,
not only in Bagdad or around Bagdad,
987
01:13:53,695 --> 01:13:56,130
but elsewhere around the..
988
01:14:05,140 --> 01:14:08,110
Since we started the invasion,
I was back in Baghdad.
989
01:14:08,477 --> 01:14:10,722
To work on Pasha's plan
to put UN in charge of
990
01:14:10,746 --> 01:14:12,680
rebuilding the new Iraq.
991
01:14:13,582 --> 01:14:15,016
The sanctions were lifted.
992
01:14:15,117 --> 01:14:17,245
The free market would power
the country.
993
01:14:17,453 --> 01:14:20,115
Free elections would give every citizen of voice.
994
01:14:20,322 --> 01:14:22,086
And oil would pay the bills.
995
01:14:24,593 --> 01:14:26,322
Pasha still have strong connections.
996
01:14:27,830 --> 01:14:29,229
And he kept his promise to me.
997
01:14:36,438 --> 01:14:38,133
Nashim Husseini!
998
01:15:28,557 --> 01:15:30,423
The days burned together.
999
01:15:32,127 --> 01:15:33,458
Blank pages.
1000
01:15:40,869 --> 01:15:42,064
I've missed you.
1001
01:15:49,478 --> 01:15:50,707
I have something for you.
1002
01:15:56,485 --> 01:15:59,216
A new passport and a VISA so
1003
01:16:02,357 --> 01:16:04,257
You can stay as long if you want.
1004
01:16:07,095 --> 01:16:09,029
And what about the list?
1005
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:13,690
I gave it to Pasha.
1006
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,636
You traded this? For me?
Yeah.
1007
01:16:20,742 --> 01:16:22,870
Why?
I didn't exactly have a choice.
1008
01:16:22,945 --> 01:16:24,640
I made a judgement call. Ok?
1009
01:16:24,746 --> 01:16:27,738
And what you think is going to happen
to Pasha now?
1010
01:16:28,317 --> 01:16:30,197
Pasha can still do a lot of good in the UN.
1011
01:16:31,887 --> 01:16:33,878
You are dreaming.
I'm not dreaming.
1012
01:16:33,956 --> 01:16:36,687
I'm not dreaming. I'm not. Ok.
Consensus has changed.
1013
01:16:37,259 --> 01:16:39,557
With Saddam gone,
we can actually do a lot of good..
1014
01:16:39,861 --> 01:16:44,731
Just by thinking you can work with the criminals
to take what you want. You're at lost.
1015
01:16:46,301 --> 01:16:48,770
It wasn't exactly a fight
we are going to win, was it?
1016
01:16:48,870 --> 01:16:52,204
I put all my fucking life on this.
1017
01:16:52,574 --> 01:16:54,474
Who are you to decide that for me?
1018
01:16:55,243 --> 01:16:56,870
You said it yourself.
1019
01:16:58,313 --> 01:17:01,078
It's very very fucking complicated.
1020
01:17:03,485 --> 01:17:06,318
No. Not this part.
1021
01:17:07,956 --> 01:17:09,822
This part is very simple.
1022
01:17:11,860 --> 01:17:14,090
I don't want to be a part of this.
No, no.
1023
01:17:14,663 --> 01:17:15,824
I can't.
1024
01:17:16,665 --> 01:17:18,861
Nashim. Wait... Wait. Wait!!
1025
01:17:21,436 --> 01:17:22,528
Nashim!
1026
01:17:36,551 --> 01:17:39,543
I'm told you aren't answering your phone.
What the fuck.
1027
01:17:41,690 --> 01:17:43,317
Yeah. I've been busy.
Yah.
1028
01:17:49,131 --> 01:17:50,131
I heard.
1029
01:17:51,333 --> 01:17:52,823
Your Kurdish took a walk.
1030
01:17:53,068 --> 01:17:55,969
Relationships are trainwreck.
1031
01:17:58,674 --> 01:18:00,073
Come on, Kid.
1032
01:18:00,575 --> 01:18:02,805
You wanted a career in diplomacy.
1033
01:18:02,878 --> 01:18:04,710
Well, you're missing a golden moment.
1034
01:18:08,216 --> 01:18:09,877
See you at the office.
1035
01:18:28,336 --> 01:18:30,566
Pasha. Are those medical contracts...
1036
01:18:35,510 --> 01:18:36,875
I was on my way out.
1037
01:18:38,213 --> 01:18:39,213
Pasha.
1038
01:18:39,681 --> 01:18:40,842
See you.
1039
01:18:48,690 --> 01:18:50,681
It's good to see you again, Michael.
1040
01:18:58,333 --> 01:18:59,892
You think I like it?
1041
01:19:00,569 --> 01:19:02,435
He got the world in his pocket, kid.
1042
01:19:02,704 --> 01:19:05,173
All the major fucking players in
reconstruction.
1043
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,402
I don't understand. When did he get back into this?
1044
01:19:07,509 --> 01:19:11,070
He never left. He just moved into the shadows
when the stakes got higher.
1045
01:19:11,713 --> 01:19:12,713
There was no one else.
1046
01:19:13,215 --> 01:19:15,206
We've been through this, Michael.
1047
01:19:17,819 --> 01:19:19,651
I'm not gonna fucking deal with him.
1048
01:19:22,224 --> 01:19:23,224
What?
1049
01:19:27,262 --> 01:19:28,889
This is how it works.
1050
01:19:36,004 --> 01:19:38,439
The optimisim of the liberation was
short-lived.
1051
01:19:39,741 --> 01:19:43,575
It turned out nobody had made plans what to do
after Saddam was gone.
1052
01:19:44,246 --> 01:19:47,682
The America has purged everyone
who had been loyal to the regime
1053
01:19:48,083 --> 01:19:51,451
which meant there wasn't anybody left
who knew how to run the country.
1054
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,755
Rasnetsov and all the other fixers like him..
1055
01:19:55,757 --> 01:19:59,250
filled that vacuum with power
and now they control the game again.
1056
01:19:59,961 --> 01:20:04,091
Iraq spirals into anarchy,
chaos and terror.
1057
01:20:09,971 --> 01:20:13,430
All those countries that have been scamming
"Oil for Food" before the war,
1058
01:20:15,277 --> 01:20:17,609
Well, they got ready to curve Iraq up.
1059
01:20:18,847 --> 01:20:20,611
Like it was one big pie.
1060
01:20:22,184 --> 01:20:23,184
And me..
1061
01:20:24,186 --> 01:20:26,086
I was going through emotions.
1062
01:20:27,455 --> 01:20:28,616
I lost my faith in it..
1063
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:45,840
Hello?
1064
01:20:46,107 --> 01:20:47,107
It's Nashim.
1065
01:20:49,344 --> 01:20:50,344
Hey.
1066
01:20:51,713 --> 01:20:52,713
You ok?
1067
01:20:52,848 --> 01:20:55,340
I need to see you. Can you come downstairs?
1068
01:20:57,686 --> 01:20:58,686
Sure.
1069
01:21:11,333 --> 01:21:12,732
Michael. Good to see you.
1070
01:21:13,702 --> 01:21:14,702
Yeah.
1071
01:21:14,736 --> 01:21:16,500
I got someone you got to meet.
1072
01:21:18,206 --> 01:21:19,731
We need your help, Michael.
1073
01:21:26,548 --> 01:21:29,449
Michael Sullivan,
Mr. Shaswar Rauf.
1074
01:21:30,719 --> 01:21:31,948
Yeah. We've met before.
1075
01:21:32,220 --> 01:21:34,712
He will play a central role in a new Iraq.
1076
01:21:36,958 --> 01:21:39,723
You ever heard of a guy named
Rasnetsov?
1077
01:21:41,229 --> 01:21:42,094
Yeah.
1078
01:21:42,197 --> 01:21:43,858
Yeah? You've ever met him?
1079
01:21:44,299 --> 01:21:47,030
A few times
before the invasion.
1080
01:21:47,869 --> 01:21:49,030
How about after?
1081
01:21:52,107 --> 01:21:53,107
No. I didn't.
1082
01:21:54,075 --> 01:21:57,773
Well now him and his criminal gang for
"Oil for Food" are back.
1083
01:21:57,879 --> 01:21:59,813
And they're creating a mess in Iraq.
1084
01:22:01,983 --> 01:22:02,983
Yeah..
1085
01:22:07,222 --> 01:22:11,887
You know there was a list of individuals
and organisations that were
1086
01:22:13,662 --> 01:22:16,407
helping Saddam with "Oil for Food".
You guys know about that?
1087
01:22:16,431 --> 01:22:19,196
Yeah. There was no way to proof what was on it.
No.
1088
01:22:19,267 --> 01:22:22,100
Proof was in Iraq, all ministry.
1089
01:22:22,704 --> 01:22:24,882
Official files that were taken by
US troops
1090
01:22:24,906 --> 01:22:26,284
after the government fell.
1091
01:22:26,308 --> 01:22:29,437
Proof that is probably be still
in the basement of UN
1092
01:22:29,711 --> 01:22:32,146
somewhere if anyone care to look.
1093
01:22:32,247 --> 01:22:34,978
Forget about the list.
We don't want the list anymore.
1094
01:22:35,083 --> 01:22:37,142
You don't want the list?
Too many powerful people.
1095
01:22:37,252 --> 01:22:38,720
Too political.
1096
01:22:39,220 --> 01:22:42,451
It is a coalition of fucking greedy.
No one gives a shit about Iraq.
1097
01:22:43,591 --> 01:22:45,616
Everyone just want some money.
1098
01:22:45,727 --> 01:22:48,958
Yeah, that's why we need to stop Rasnetsov.
1099
01:22:50,966 --> 01:22:52,559
Pasha can give him to us.
1100
01:22:54,336 --> 01:22:57,465
Michael, we have strong intel
that your boss is involved.
1101
01:22:59,574 --> 01:23:01,099
Pasha never gonna help you.
1102
01:23:01,476 --> 01:23:03,672
Or may be he's just need a little push.
1103
01:23:05,847 --> 01:23:08,976
And we're hoping that may be
you can convince him.
1104
01:23:09,684 --> 01:23:13,245
You think I can convince Pasha?
Pasha's never gonna do it. He's not gonna listen to you.
1105
01:23:13,321 --> 01:23:17,087
We can protect the UN for any unpleasant throwbacks.
1106
01:23:20,228 --> 01:23:21,228
Diplomacy.
1107
01:23:22,230 --> 01:23:23,129
What?
1108
01:23:23,198 --> 01:23:24,198
Diplomacy.
1109
01:23:28,570 --> 01:23:30,368
Something Pasha said to me once..
1110
01:23:57,499 --> 01:24:00,059
So now you're the one
working with the criminals.
1111
01:24:01,836 --> 01:24:03,065
It's not the same.
1112
01:24:06,074 --> 01:24:07,564
Why it isn't the same?
1113
01:24:08,009 --> 01:24:10,103
We had the momentum now.
1114
01:24:10,211 --> 01:24:13,044
The Kurds are going to be in important part of
making the new era..
1115
01:24:13,114 --> 01:24:16,015
The Kurds been fighting the same pretty much
several thousand years.
1116
01:24:16,217 --> 01:24:18,413
You really think this gonna change anything?
1117
01:24:20,855 --> 01:24:22,345
Who can't say?
1118
01:24:23,224 --> 01:24:25,716
But for sure it's not up to you
to decide that for us
1119
01:24:28,863 --> 01:24:29,863
Come with me.
1120
01:24:38,573 --> 01:24:39,870
I can't.
1121
01:25:15,877 --> 01:25:19,643
Neonatal medicine.
Yeah.. There are new inventors.
1122
01:25:19,747 --> 01:25:21,215
French-canadians.
1123
01:25:22,484 --> 01:25:24,929
They want the exclusive rights
to the whole of the Northern region.
1124
01:25:24,953 --> 01:25:27,854
That's very greedy.
Especially for the Canadians.
1125
01:25:28,323 --> 01:25:31,190
Well, I can..
They need to be willing to pay hundred grand
1126
01:25:31,493 --> 01:25:32,493
to make it happen.
1127
01:25:32,594 --> 01:25:37,122
You do the preparations with the Kurds
and the provisional authoritiy.
1128
01:25:37,332 --> 01:25:39,852
I'll handle the rest,
we split fifty-fifty.
1129
01:25:39,968 --> 01:25:43,199
Fifty thousand dollars paid off?
No, shekels.
1130
01:25:44,205 --> 01:25:46,333
Christ! Of course, dollars.
What the fuck!
1131
01:25:47,108 --> 01:25:48,108
Thank you.
1132
01:25:50,678 --> 01:25:53,113
Pleasure to see you again, Sir.
1133
01:25:53,181 --> 01:25:56,981
And so much more favorable circumstances yes?
1134
01:25:59,554 --> 01:26:01,386
You must be one of the Canadians.
1135
01:26:01,489 --> 01:26:02,979
I'm Cutter, Sir. No.
1136
01:26:04,058 --> 01:26:05,355
Ah..American.
1137
01:26:05,460 --> 01:26:06,689
I wasn't..
1138
01:26:07,562 --> 01:26:09,522
You didn't tell me the provisional authoritiy
1139
01:26:09,564 --> 01:26:11,862
will be sending someone for such a routine agreement.
1140
01:26:12,066 --> 01:26:13,295
They didn't.
1141
01:26:13,368 --> 01:26:16,338
We're not exactly here about medicines,
Mr. Passaris.
1142
01:26:19,474 --> 01:26:24,344
They need to be willing to pay
hundred grands to make this happen.
1143
01:26:24,546 --> 01:26:29,108
You do the preparations with the Kurds
and the provisional authority.
1144
01:26:29,317 --> 01:26:32,446
I handle the rest,
we split fifty-fifty.
1145
01:26:33,855 --> 01:26:34,855
Ohh Kid...
1146
01:26:35,223 --> 01:26:38,318
Fifty thousand dollars paid off?
- No, shekels.
1147
01:26:39,494 --> 01:26:41,553
Christ of course, Dollars,
What the fuck?
1148
01:26:45,733 --> 01:26:48,327
It's like a surprise party
without the cake.
1149
01:26:51,206 --> 01:26:52,332
What do you want?
1150
01:26:53,241 --> 01:26:56,074
Give us Timur Rasnetsov, and resign your job.
1151
01:26:58,012 --> 01:27:02,677
Or I will have to drag you and the United Nations
through a scandals of a stark proportions.
1152
01:27:07,088 --> 01:27:08,249
This happens.
1153
01:27:09,490 --> 01:27:11,652
With or without you.
With or without me..
1154
01:27:11,726 --> 01:27:15,219
Rasnetsov will be protected by multinational companies
1155
01:27:15,330 --> 01:27:17,059
who have governments who protect them.
1156
01:27:17,165 --> 01:27:20,100
Same people who just brought Saddam to his knees
and put you here.
1157
01:27:20,868 --> 01:27:22,427
Holding court. Judging me.
1158
01:27:23,438 --> 01:27:26,499
You think your place at the table now is not
bought and paid for?
1159
01:27:26,708 --> 01:27:29,143
We pay with our lives
if that's what you mean.
1160
01:27:29,244 --> 01:27:31,444
What you called corruption
is simply the growing pains
1161
01:27:31,579 --> 01:27:33,240
of the new democracy.
1162
01:27:36,251 --> 01:27:39,710
And you are indeed fools if you think
you can put the brakes on it now.
1163
01:27:41,222 --> 01:27:43,816
Let's let the politician worry about that.
1164
01:27:44,459 --> 01:27:46,120
We will settle for the rat..
1165
01:27:46,961 --> 01:27:48,656
You want me to commit suicide.
1166
01:27:49,264 --> 01:27:50,561
We can protect you.
1167
01:27:50,832 --> 01:27:51,958
You know that's not true.
1168
01:27:52,233 --> 01:27:53,667
Well just set up a meeting.
1169
01:27:54,669 --> 01:27:56,899
Give him the envelope the Canadian's deal.
1170
01:27:57,438 --> 01:27:59,566
We catch him red handed.
1171
01:28:04,679 --> 01:28:05,908
What the hell?
1172
01:28:44,686 --> 01:28:45,983
Not bad, Kid.
1173
01:28:47,488 --> 01:28:48,580
Well played.
1174
01:28:59,867 --> 01:29:00,959
He's late.
1180
01:30:03,698 --> 01:30:04,698
Yes?
1181
01:30:29,657 --> 01:30:31,091
Fucking country.
1182
01:31:35,990 --> 01:31:37,719
Is it ok if I join you?
1183
01:31:42,463 --> 01:31:43,953
I'm stepping down going home.
1184
01:31:44,365 --> 01:31:46,060
I've lost my taste for it.
1185
01:31:46,467 --> 01:31:48,561
I wanted you to hear it from me.
1186
01:31:49,670 --> 01:31:52,469
I recommended you for a position
in UNESCO.
1187
01:31:53,074 --> 01:31:54,667
Special assistant.
1188
01:31:55,977 --> 01:31:57,968
You'll be the youngest one in the whole UN.
1189
01:32:01,415 --> 01:32:02,541
Did you know?
1190
01:32:05,152 --> 01:32:06,313
Kid.
1191
01:32:10,091 --> 01:32:12,025
How can even you think that?
1192
01:32:13,327 --> 01:32:16,558
These fucking lunatics.
They are killing each other everyday.
1193
01:32:18,699 --> 01:32:19,996
That's the truth of it.
1194
01:32:23,704 --> 01:32:25,433
That's your truth, Pasha.
1195
01:32:27,708 --> 01:32:29,676
And I'm not part of it anymore.
1196
01:32:31,679 --> 01:32:34,205
Don't. Don't do anything dumb.
1197
01:32:34,682 --> 01:32:36,343
You can't fight the storm.
1198
01:32:45,192 --> 01:32:48,025
NEW YORK,
SEPTEMBER, 2003
1199
01:32:49,864 --> 01:32:52,697
I realize everybody knew about the corruption.
1200
01:32:53,568 --> 01:32:55,434
They just didn't want to be exposed.
1201
01:32:56,571 --> 01:32:58,699
Every permanent member of Security Council
1202
01:32:58,906 --> 01:33:00,431
has something to lose.
1203
01:33:00,708 --> 01:33:02,870
Someone on the list who can embarass it.
1204
01:33:04,078 --> 01:33:05,375
It will all be covered up.
1205
01:33:06,581 --> 01:33:08,845
The UN couldn't survive these lies.
1206
01:33:10,952 --> 01:33:12,386
I had to do something.
1207
01:33:12,687 --> 01:33:13,950
Risk something.
1208
01:33:15,222 --> 01:33:16,553
To make a change.
1209
01:33:17,224 --> 01:33:21,559
If I tried to list his accomplishments,
we will be here until tomorrow.
1210
01:33:22,430 --> 01:33:26,765
But in his forty years of service,
to the cause of world peace and,
1211
01:33:26,867 --> 01:33:31,100
our humanitarian missions,
the crowning achievement would have to be
1212
01:33:31,372 --> 01:33:35,468
his successful implementation and
operation of "Oil for Food ".
1213
01:33:43,584 --> 01:33:45,450
Hi, I'm Trevor Owen from "Oversight".
1214
01:33:45,686 --> 01:33:47,120
I've spoke to John earlier..
1215
01:33:47,321 --> 01:33:49,346
Saddam's palace files..
Yeah..
1216
01:33:50,324 --> 01:33:52,315
Which boxes?
All of them.
1217
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:55,122
They sealed to the public,
but as you're from "Oversight"
1218
01:33:55,329 --> 01:33:58,526
and as long as you don't take anything with you,
go crazy.
1219
01:33:59,367 --> 01:34:00,5 96
Thank you.
1220
01:34:01,469 --> 01:34:03,961
Mr. Passaris. Job well done.
1221
01:34:04,372 --> 01:34:05,372
Thank you.
1222
01:34:06,974 --> 01:34:09,306
Where's Michael?
He has cleaned his desk, sir.
1223
01:34:13,180 --> 01:34:14,545
I think I found it.
1224
01:34:16,984 --> 01:34:18,213
You know what we're gonna have to do?
1225
01:34:19,553 --> 01:34:20,850
Fucking family.
1226
01:34:58,693 --> 01:35:00,457
My name is Michael Sullivan.
1227
01:35:01,462 --> 01:35:04,898
And I have a story
I think you're gonna want to hear.
1228
01:35:09,003 --> 01:35:11,529
These are the wrong numbers of
how much money was involved.
1229
01:35:11,639 --> 01:35:14,370
And that is billions. This is not Millions.
1230
01:35:14,575 --> 01:35:15,974
Jesus!
1231
01:35:16,977 --> 01:35:20,504
And this is the list of everyone
who received their vouchers,
1232
01:35:20,581 --> 01:35:22,242
their bribes and kickbacks.
1233
01:35:22,983 --> 01:35:25,543
You can corroborate the names
with the deposit records.
1234
01:35:26,353 --> 01:35:27,353
They're here
1235
01:35:27,421 --> 01:35:29,355
with the list of contracts on files.
1236
01:35:34,095 --> 01:35:35,688
This is massive, Jesse.
1237
01:35:37,698 --> 01:35:40,724
You realize the minute this breaks
you'll have a lot of enemies?
1238
01:35:42,002 --> 01:35:43,060
Yeah, I know.
1239
01:35:43,738 --> 01:35:45,502
We could protect you.
1240
01:35:45,573 --> 01:35:47,268
Cite you as "A confidential source."
1241
01:35:47,374 --> 01:35:48,934
No, anonymity is part of the problem.
1242
01:35:49,443 --> 01:35:53,744
If nobody takes responsibility for the truth,
then we are leaving up to consensus.
1243
01:35:55,983 --> 01:35:57,451
I have to own it.
1244
01:36:00,087 --> 01:36:02,818
We began with this evening
with the United Nations, the "Oil for Food"
1245
01:36:03,090 --> 01:36:05,457
controversies and scandal.
1246
01:36:05,826 --> 01:36:10,559
And the call on the part of the United States Senator
for the resignation of Kofi Annan.
1247
01:36:11,098 --> 01:36:14,159
Obviously, these are serious allegations
1248
01:36:14,268 --> 01:36:15,326
which we take seriously.
1249
01:36:15,569 --> 01:36:20,097
The UN Secretary General today ordered
an investigation on Costa Passaris,
1250
01:36:20,474 --> 01:36:23,637
the former Under-Secretary who has
whistelblower claims
1251
01:36:23,744 --> 01:36:27,840
was behind the "Oil for Food" scandals
that has rocked the United Nations.
1252
01:36:28,115 --> 01:36:31,176
And implicated a long list of prominent businessmen
1253
01:36:31,585 --> 01:36:34,316
and political figures across the world.
1254
01:36:34,955 --> 01:36:36,787
Incompetent and corrupt.
1256
01:36:40,961 --> 01:36:43,089
The weaknesses is in the "Oil for Food" program..
1257
01:36:43,330 --> 01:36:45,770
raises serious questions about
the United Nations' ability
1258
01:36:45,866 --> 01:36:49,632
to enforce sanctions and administrated
mandated program in the future.
1259
01:36:49,737 --> 01:36:51,603
The documents for the telegraph
come up with
1260
01:36:51,839 --> 01:36:54,331
reportedly found in Iraq's foreign ministry archive.
1261
01:36:54,441 --> 01:36:57,240
days after the US led the invasions.
1262
01:36:57,578 --> 01:37:00,513
The "Wall Street Journal"
report having documentations of
1263
01:37:00,614 --> 01:37:03,675
kickbacks, and bribes and
forms of oil vouchers...
1264
01:37:03,918 --> 01:37:05,896
worth billions of dollars.
1265
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:07,684
But according to federal authority,
1266
01:37:07,922 --> 01:37:10,584
Passaris himself has fled the country.
1267
01:37:15,963 --> 01:37:17,294
CYPRUS,
MAY, 2004
1268
01:37:34,114 --> 01:37:35,707
I'm with the "Wall Street Journal".
1269
01:37:37,017 --> 01:37:38,348
We're doing a follow up
1270
01:37:38,686 --> 01:37:41,155
on the "Oil for Food" scandals.
1271
01:37:41,222 --> 01:37:43,190
I come to get your side of the story.
1272
01:37:43,991 --> 01:37:45,356
I don't have a side.
1273
01:37:45,559 --> 01:37:47,049
And it's the kid's fucking story.
1274
01:37:56,704 --> 01:37:58,672
I'm not running away.
Ok?
1275
01:37:58,739 --> 01:38:00,207
Make sure you write that.
1276
01:38:00,441 --> 01:38:02,569
I'm not hiding from anybody.
1277
01:38:03,677 --> 01:38:06,578
Yet here you are in a place without extradition.
It was difficult.
1278
01:38:07,514 --> 01:38:08,879
Write that.
1279
01:38:09,850 --> 01:38:10,874
Complicated.
1280
01:38:12,086 --> 01:38:15,613
Messy was Saddam's ugly nonsense
and the usual first world duplicity.
1281
01:38:15,723 --> 01:38:17,452
But we did more good than bad.
1282
01:38:21,428 --> 01:38:23,692
I don't care what anybody fucking said.
1283
01:38:27,868 --> 01:38:29,199
And the kid did great.
1284
01:38:33,974 --> 01:38:38,571
The choice is I see it,
it's between cynicism and candor.
1285
01:38:39,980 --> 01:38:42,472
You know if only we care so much about Iraq
as said,
1286
01:38:44,218 --> 01:38:47,313
the story would have been celebrated
as a conspiracy of Saint.
1287
01:38:49,657 --> 01:38:50,954
But the truth..
1288
01:38:53,827 --> 01:38:56,694
The truth isn't about the lie we told each other.
1289
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:01,920
It's about the lie we told ourselves.
1290
01:39:10,110 --> 01:39:14,377
More than two thousands companies
from 56 different countries
1291
01:39:14,581 --> 01:39:16,913
took bribes or paid kickbacks to Saddam Hussein.
1292
01:39:17,952 --> 01:39:19,784
Over twenty billion dollars got diverted
1293
01:39:19,887 --> 01:39:22,117
from the "Oil for Food" program.
1294
01:39:22,623 --> 01:39:26,253
Implicated some of the most prestigious
coroperations in the world.
1295
01:39:28,329 --> 01:39:33,165
172 organisations and individuals
highly placed in the government
1296
01:39:33,267 --> 01:39:34,735
received bribes.
1297
01:39:37,738 --> 01:39:41,675
My name is Michael Sullivan.
My father was a diplomat.
1298
01:39:43,978 --> 01:39:45,772
I tried to follow him in his foot steps.
