<i>Then I'm considerably more important</i>
383
00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:53,237
<i>than whoever is.
Is anything wrong?</i>
384
00:15:53,305 --> 00:15:56,035
This is gonna take
just a second or two.
385
00:15:56,408 --> 00:15:58,638
Okay, I'm all yours.
386
00:15:59,111 --> 00:16:02,979
What did I do that
was so extraordinary?
387
00:16:03,048 --> 00:16:04,208
<i>"Double it."</i>
388
00:16:04,282 --> 00:16:06,079
'Cause I was told you
didn't have a girlfriend.
389
402
00:16:33,078 --> 00:16:34,841
Which is still pretty good.
403
00:16:34,913 --> 00:16:36,141
Okay, so, hi.

405
00:16:38,884 --> 00:16:41,011
<i>for American aid

406
00:16:41,086 --> 00:16:42,644
<i>He's made a movie?
Yes.</i>
407
00:16:42,721 --> 00:16:46,555
<i>I'm gonna run this movie Friday
night at my house at a fundraiser.</i>
408
00:16:46,625 --> 00:16:48,855
<i>You know, you've never
been to my house, Charlie.</i>
409
00:16:48,927 --> 00:16:51,862
You want me to come to
Houston and see a movie?
410
00:16:51,930 --> 00:16:53,511
<i>There'll be women
and wealthy donors.</i>
411
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:55,093
See you Friday.
412
00:16:55,167 --> 00:16:56,532
Yes, ma'am.
413
00:17:02,908 --> 00:17:03,932
Hey.
414
00:17:04,009 --> 00:17:04,998
Mmm-mmm.
415
428
00:17:43,281 --> 00:17:45,044
According to whom?
Clair George.
429
00:17:45,117 --> 00:17:48,086
You told me to go fuck myself.
I'm supposed to apologize to you?
430
00:17:48,153 --> 00:17:51,247
Also, water goes over a dam and
under a bridge, you poncy schoolboy.
431
00:17:51,323 --> 00:17:54,622
Clearly there's been a miscommunication
between Clair George and somebody.
432
00:17:54,693 --> 00:17:55,887
Excuse me.
Yes?
433
00:17:55,961 --> 00:17:57,223
Does this look all right?
It's fine.
434
00:17:57,295 --> 00:17:57,561
Thank you.
435
00:17:57,562 --> 00:17:58,387
I can sand it down a little.
436
00:17:58,463 --> 00:17:59,069
I, I don't know.
437
00:17:59,070 --> 00:18:00,658
I have no fucking idea who this guy is.
438
00:18:00,732 --> 00:18:03,462
He is here to fix the glass that you
broke the last time you were here.
439
00:18:03,535 --> 00:18:04,780
Could you just excuse us
for a second there?
440
00:18:04,781 --> 00:18:06,026
Yes.
441
00:18:06,104 --> 00:18:07,128
You tell me to go
fuck myself
442
00:18:07,205 --> 00:18:08,763
and I'm supposed to
apologize? You break my window,
443
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,740
I'm supposed to apologize?
The Helsinki job was mine!
444
00:18:10,809 --> 00:18:13,437
The Helsinki job was not yours. If
it was yours, you'd be in Helsinki.
445
00:18:13,512 --> 00:18:14,945
Alan Wolfe stood in
this office! Alan Wolfe
446
00:18:15,013 --> 00:18:16,537
is no longer the Director.
Yeah, it was on the books!
447
00:18:16,615 --> 00:18:19,413
Alan Wolfe is no longer the
Director of European Operations.
448
00:18:19,484 --> 00:18:20,849
He does not make
those appointments. I do.
449
00:18:20,919 --> 00:18:22,614
Promises were made.
Not by me.
450
00:18:22,687 --> 00:18:24,985
I've been with
the company for 24 years.
451
00:18:25,056 --> 00:18:26,990
I was posted
in Greece for 15.
452
00:18:27,058 --> 00:18:30,824
Papandreou wins that election if I
don't help the junta take him prisoner.
453
00:18:30,896 --> 00:18:32,796
I've advised and armed
the Hellenic army.
454
00:18:32,864 --> 00:18:34,798
I've neutralized
champions of Communism.
455
00:18:34,866 --> 00:18:38,165
I've spent the past three
years learning Finnish!
456
00:18:38,236 --> 00:18:40,204
Which should come in handy
here in Virginia!
457
00:18:40,272 --> 00:18:42,240
And I'm never,
ever, sick at sea.
458
00:18:42,307 --> 00:18:45,708
So I want to know why I'm not gonna
be your Helsinki station chief.
459
00:18:45,777 --> 00:18:47,574
You're coarse.
Excuse me?
460
00:18:47,679 --> 00:18:50,239
For Helsinki, I need someone
with diplomatic skills.
461
00:18:50,315 --> 00:18:51,543
You don't have them.
Is that right?
462
00:18:51,616 --> 00:18:53,641
That is right. And I don't know
why the hell I didn't fire you
463
00:18:53,718 --> 00:18:54,810
when you broke
my fucking window!
464
00:18:54,886 --> 00:18:56,751
Oh, yes, sure
you do, Cravely.
465
00:18:56,821 --> 00:18:58,880
Look, Gust... Yeah, you're
fucking Roger's fiancee
466
00:18:58,957 --> 00:19:00,254
and you know I know.
467
00:19:01,826 --> 00:19:04,056
I'm not... I'm not even gonna
dignify that with a response.
468
00:19:04,129 --> 00:19:06,063
Yeah, yeah, you're
dignifying her in the ass
469
00:19:06,131 --> 00:19:08,065
at the Jefferson Hotel,
room 1210.
470
00:19:08,133 --> 00:19:11,034
But let me ask you. The
3,000 agents Turner fired
471
00:19:11,102 --> 00:19:13,297
was that because they lacked
diplomatic skills as well?
472
00:19:13,371 --> 00:19:15,236
You're referring
to Admiral Stansfield Turner?
473
00:19:15,307 --> 00:19:16,365
Yeah, the 3,000 agents.
474
00:19:16,441 --> 00:19:19,376
Each and every goddamn one of them
first or second generation Americans.
475
00:19:19,444 --> 00:19:21,935
Is that because they lack
the proper diplomatic skills?
476
00:19:22,013 --> 00:19:24,481
Or did Turner not think it
was a good idea to have spies
477
541
00:22:10,982 --> 00:22:13,678
Says she had a great uncle
who was killed at the Alamo.
542
00:22:13,752 --> 00:22:16,846
Former Miss Cotton Bowl. Had her
own local television talk show.
543
00:22:16,921 --> 00:22:20,118
Look. Pakistan's Honorary
Consul to Houston, Texas.
544
00:22:20,191 --> 00:22:21,590
How's that
for a title, huh?
545
00:22:21,659 --> 00:22:24,822
This is an ultra-right wing
group of anti-Communist fanatics.
546
00:22:24,896 --> 00:22:26,363
They're not
ultra-right wing.
547
00:22:26,431 --> 00:22:28,194
What are they?
548
00:22:28,266 --> 00:22:30,029
Well, they're
ultra-right wing.
549
00:22:30,101 --> 00:22:32,501
What are you doing
hanging around this woman?
550
00:22:32,570 --> 00:22:36,233
Did you hear me say she was
a former Miss Cotton Bowl?
551
00:22:36,307 --> 00:22:37,501
You are unbelievable.
552
00:22:37,575 --> 00:22:38,735
Oh, come on.
You're gonna love her.
553
00:22:38,810 --> 00:22:40,744

567
00:23:20,852 --> 00:23:22,183
Isn't that wonderful
for you.
568
00:23:22,253 --> 00:23:23,481
Yes.
569
00:23:23,555 --> 00:23:26,422
Two olives, please. Tell them
it's for me, they'll know.
570
00:23:26,491 --> 00:23:27,822
Certainly.
571
00:23:29,828 --> 00:23:31,420
She doesn't like me.
572
00:23:31,496 --> 00:23:32,588
Everybody likes you.
573
00:23:32,664 --> 00:23:34,097
She's a liberal.
574
00:23:34,165 --> 00:23:35,928
Well, I'm a liberal.
575
00:23:36,401 --> 00:23:38,164
Not where it counts.
576
00:23:38,703 --> 00:23:40,000
Have you seen the house?
577
00:23:40,071 --> 00:23:43,165
Well, I've seen the
downstairs, what's upstairs?
578
00:23:43,241 --> 00:23:44,572
Fourteen bedrooms.
579
00:23:44,642 --> 00:23:46,075
I should have a look.
580
00:23:46,144 --> 00:23:47,168
What did you think
of the movie?
581
00:23:47,245 --> 00:23:48,940
What, that thing
we just saw?
582
00:23:49,013 --> 00:23:51,072
The reason
for the party, yes.
583
00:23:51,149 --> 00:23:53,913
Well, I'm not an expert
in the field or anything,
584
00:23:53,985 --> 00:23:56,818
but the production quality
seemed amateurish to me.
585
00:23:56,888 --> 00:23:58,378
Yeah, I'm not
submitting the thing

nomination, Charlie.

You know what
I'm talking about.
588
00:24:03,094 --> 00:24:05,722
Well, as a member
of the Defense Subcommittee,
589
00:24:05,797 --> 00:24:07,128
did you think
I wasn't aware
590
00:24:07,198 --> 00:24:09,393
that the Soviet Union's
invaded Afghanistan?
591
00:24:09,467 --> 00:24:11,401
Yes, I believe
my government is aware,
592
00:24:11,469 --> 00:24:13,960
but I was wondering if they were
619
00:25:14,933 --> 00:25:18,300
Isn't that how you were able to
double the CIA budget for black approps
620
00:25:18,369 --> 00:25:20,803
in Afghanistan just by saying so?
621
00:25:20,872 --> 00:25:24,501
Why are you only asking me questions
you already know the answers to?
622
00:25:24,576 --> 00:25:27,443
Why is Congress saying one
thing and doing nothing?
623
00:25:27,512 --> 00:25:29,412
Well, tradition mostly.

00:25:35,787 --> 00:25:37,118

625
00:25:37,722 --> 00:25:38,814
Okay.
626
00:25:47,832 --> 00:25:52,030
I do not understand the
energy women have after sex.

Why is the CIA running a
fake war in Afghanistan?

00:26:00,178 --> 00:26:02,169
They're doing everything they can.
631

Yes, it is.

743
00:31:39,917 --> 00:31:43,080
why your State Department
would send someone here
744
00:31:43,154 --> 00:31:45,384
who thinks he understands the problem.
745
00:31:45,456 --> 00:31:48,948

the Texas Second Congressional District

are going to turn the trick.
747
00:31:50,428 --> 00:31:53,454
Well, now, I wasn't sent here by
the State Department, Mr. President.
748
00:31:53,531 --> 00:31:55,522
I was asked to come here
by our friend in Houston.
749
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:57,794
So this is a courtesy call.
750
00:31:57,868 --> 00:32:01,736
I don't need courtesy. I need
airplanes, guns and money.
751
00:32:01,806 --> 00:32:06,505
Well, we just doubled the
CIA budget for covert ops...
752

From 5 million to 10 million.
753
00:32:08,079 --> 00:32:10,070
That's right. Is that a joke?
754
00:32:11,415 --> 00:32:13,508
No. Is that meant to be a funny joke?
755
00:32:13,584 --> 00:32:14,573
No, sir.

$10 million from the U.S.
To fight the Russian Army
758
00:32:20,658 --> 00:32:23,889
is such a low figure that it
can be mistaken for a joke.

I caught up to the sarcasm
there, sir. Let me be clear.

No, you're not. You're not.

Absolutely not. I went to Oxford

You didn't want them.

it, it exploded in my hand.

I should have known.

00:37:41,745 --> 00:37:46,773
Because last year my little brother
tried to pick up a piece of candy.

It split him in half.

It takes more work to take care
of a wounded child than a dead one.

So when the Russians cover

916
00:42:36,206 --> 00:42:39,505
Now, these people hadn't voted
in any of these elections, so...
917
00:42:39,576 --> 00:42:42,477
I was only 13, but I
had a farmer's license
918
00:42:44,014 --> 00:42:45,504
and I filled up my car with black voters

and drove them to the polling place

00:42:46,917 --> 00:42:48,248
and then waited, then
drove them on home.
921
00:42:48,318 --> 00:42:51,253
But before they got
out of the car to vote
922
00:42:51,321 --> 00:42:56,452
I said, "I don't mean to influence
you, but I think you should know

What do you mean?
1120
00:50:34,984 --> 00:50:37,782
Well, you took a limo from
the casino to the airport.
1121
00:50:37,854 --> 00:50:40,550
Maybe it's easy enough to track down
a limo driver, hand him a subpoena,
1122
00:50:40,623 --> 00:50:42,250
ask him if anything was
going on in the back seat,
1123
00:50:42,325 --> 00:50:44,316
so, you know, in terms
of cleaning up this...
1124
00:50:44,394 --> 00:50:45,884
Were you listening at the door?
1125
00:50:45,962 --> 00:50:47,793
I wasn't listening at the
door. Were you standing
1126
00:50:47,864 --> 00:50:49,991
at the goddamn door listening to me? No.
1127
00:50:50,066 --> 00:50:52,500
How could you even...
That's a thick door!
1128
00:50:52,569 --> 00:50:54,366
You stood there and you listened to me?
1129
00:50:54,437 --> 00:50:55,768
I wasn't standing at the
door. Don't be an idiot.
1130
00:50:55,839 --> 00:50:57,136
I bugged the Scotch bottle.
1131
1144
00:51:29,506 --> 00:51:32,498
Sometimes the kids think
those bombs are toys.
1145
00:51:32,609 --> 00:51:34,907
For children to pick up. Yeah.
1146
00:51:35,478 --> 00:51:37,002
They're raping the women and... Yeah.
1147
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,277
...bayoneting the pregnant
ones. It's as bad as it can be.
1148
00:51:40,350 --> 00:51:43,444
But they still want to go
out and fight the Red Army.
1149
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,579
Each and every one of them. I've
never seen anything like that.
1150
00:51:45,655 --> 00:51:47,247
No, me, neither.
1151
00:51:47,857 --> 00:51:50,519
Let's be clear. I want to kill
Russians as much as you do.
1152
00:51:50,593 --> 00:51:53,653
Is the Oerlikon the right gun?
Is that what they should have?
1153
00:51:53,730 --> 00:51:55,459
Now, you know what?
1154
00:51:55,698 --> 00:51:56,722
You've had a long flight.
1155
00:51:56,799 --> 00:51:58,494
You're under a lot of
stress. You're under arrest.
1156
00:51:58,568 --> 00:52:00,092
I ain't under arrest.
1157
00:52:00,170 --> 00:52:01,762
Do you drink? Oh, God, yeah.
1158
00:52:01,838 --> 00:52:03,362
Well, should we try this Scotch,
1159
00:52:03,439 --> 00:52:05,168
or is it gonna release
sarin gas when I open it?
1160
00:52:05,241 --> 00:52:08,176
Oh, I don't think so,
but open it over there.
1161
00:52:13,716 --> 00:52:16,207
How'd a guy like you
get into the Agency?
1162
00:52:16,286 --> 00:52:19,517
What, you mean a street
guy? You ain't James Bond.
1163
00:52:19,589 --> 00:52:23,025
And you ain't Thomas Jefferson,
so let's call it even.
1164
00:52:23,226 --> 00:52:24,318
Deal.
1165
00:52:26,029 --> 00:52:27,553
Since there's no other
reason I should be here,
1166
00:52:27,630 --> 00:52:30,690
let's assume it's 'cause
I'm very good at this.
1167
00:52:33,203 --> 00:52:35,671
They need to shoot down
the helicopters, Gus.
1168
00:52:35,738 --> 00:52:38,298
They need at least, what, 50 Oerlikons.
1169
00:52:38,374 --> 00:52:40,342
Yeah, it's gonna cost a
lot more than $10 million.
1170
00:52:40,410 --> 00:52:42,310
And I say for the fourth
time, I can raise the money.
1171
00:52:42,378 --> 00:52:43,675
Yeah, how?
1172
00:52:43,746 --> 00:52:46,909
Is the Oerlikon the gun
I should be recommending?
1173
00:52:47,050 --> 00:52:48,483
I'm not sure.
1174
00:52:48,551 --> 00:52:51,076
Who is sure? A weapons
guy named Mike Vickers.
1175
00:52:51,154 --> 00:52:53,384
I'll call him. Yeah.
Let's call him right now.
1176
00:52:59,395 --> 00:53:01,386
All right, here's a test.
1177
00:53:01,965 --> 00:53:03,626
You see the nerdy-looking
kid in the white shirt
1178
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:05,759
playing against the four guys at once?
1179
00:53:05,835 --> 00:53:06,824
CHARLIE: Yeah.
1180
00:53:07,003 --> 00:53:09,528
Which one of the guys do you
think is a strategic weapons expert
1181
00:53:09,606 --> 00:53:11,733
with the CIA?
1182
00:53:12,275 --> 00:53:13,742
(SIGHING)
1183
1262
00:56:19,862 --> 00:56:20,988
Yep. I don't believe you.
1263
00:56:21,063 --> 00:56:22,087
I don't care.
1264
00:56:22,165 --> 00:56:23,427
And until the phone rang
this morning, Charlie,
1265
00:56:23,499 --> 00:56:25,763
I didn't know I'd never heard of you.
1266
00:56:25,835 --> 00:56:27,462
Well, ask around.
1267
00:56:27,603 --> 00:56:29,730
I did. And what'd you find out?
1268
00:56:29,806 --> 00:56:31,797
That your greatest legislative
achievement in six terms
1269
00:56:31,874 --> 00:56:33,341
was getting reelected five times.
1270
00:56:33,409 --> 00:56:34,433
Anything else?
1271
00:56:34,510 --> 00:56:36,842
That you hold more IOUs
than any member of the House.
1272
00:56:36,913 --> 00:56:37,937
(LAUGHING)
1273
00:56:38,014 --> 00:56:39,538
How about that?
1274
00:56:39,715 --> 00:56:43,344
I represent the only district in
America that doesn't want anything.
1275
00:56:43,419 --> 00:56:46,354
They want their guns, they
1289
00:57:23,793 --> 00:57:26,091
No one has your pull
with the 10th Knesset.
1290
00:57:26,162 --> 00:57:28,255
No one has your relationship
with the Speaker.
1291
00:57:28,331 --> 00:57:30,561
And we are gonna... We're gonna
need your arm around Menachem,
1292
00:57:30,633 --> 00:57:34,535
when he finds out that we're
working with Egypt and the Saudis.
1293
00:57:34,937 --> 00:57:37,838
Tell him. Tell him why we need him.
1294
00:57:38,341 --> 00:57:40,901
GUS: I'm not saying anything. Why not?
1295
00:57:41,244 --> 00:57:43,872
I don't know who the fuck
these two other guys are.
1296
00:57:43,946 --> 00:57:46,039
Well, ain't they bodyguards? Not ours.
1297
00:57:46,148 --> 00:57:47,206
Zvi?
1298
00:57:51,387 --> 00:57:54,049
Now, just to sum this up in a nutshell.
1299
00:57:54,624 --> 00:57:57,218
You want me to move Israel
1300
00:57:57,827 --> 00:58:02,457
toward a partnership with
Egypt, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
1301
00:58:02,532 --> 00:58:04,159
And Saudi Arabia.
1302
00:58:05,835 --> 00:58:08,861
1316
00:58:43,806 --> 00:58:46,366
It's in a pile of rocks
called Afghanistan.
1317
00:58:46,442 --> 00:58:49,036
These are the only people who are
actually shooting at the Russians.
1318
00:58:49,111 --> 00:58:51,875
Now, you and I know we have
to get Soviet-made weapons
1319
00:58:51,948 --> 00:58:53,313
into the hands of the mujahideen.
1320
00:58:53,382 --> 00:58:55,111
And you and I know where
the largest stockpile
1321
00:58:55,184 --> 00:58:58,085
of Soviet weapons outside
the Soviet Union is.
1322
00:58:58,154 --> 00:58:59,746
I can't tell you offhand how many
1323
00:58:59,822 --> 00:59:02,052
and what kind of weapons
we've confiscated.
1324
00:59:02,124 --> 00:59:06,458
I can. These are
Keyhole-11 satellite photos.
1325
00:59:07,229 --> 00:59:10,323
They've been degraded so
I can show them to you.
1326
00:59:10,499 --> 00:59:12,194
All right, that's a
five-wheeled chassis tank.
1327
00:59:12,268 --> 00:59:14,828
That's not the Mk.1, that's the T-55.
1328
00:59:14,904 --> 00:59:17,873
And it and four others are
1342
00:59:47,303 --> 00:59:48,998
you can park a battle
carrier behind the right hand
1343
00:59:49,071 --> 00:59:50,333
and no one's gonna fucking notice.
1344
00:59:50,406 --> 00:59:51,532
What the hell happened?
1345
00:59:51,607 --> 00:59:53,472
It's not germane. It's
not germane to these people
1346
00:59:53,542 --> 00:59:56,978
who are fighting and dying, and
being massacred in their homes.
1347
00:59:57,046 --> 01:00:00,072
Now, for the love of Christ,
will you help us help them
1348
01:00:00,149 --> 01:00:02,049
shoot down these fucking helicopters?
1349
01:00:05,054 --> 01:00:06,817
I love you, Charlie,
1350
01:00:07,723 --> 01:00:09,623
but you are a grown man
1351
01:00:09,925 --> 01:00:14,760
who still hasn't learned to look both
ways before he crosses the fucking street!
1352
01:00:21,337 --> 01:00:22,736
Yes, I'm in.
1353
01:00:24,940 --> 01:00:28,103
But I don't like this
guy. I know how you feel.
1354
01:00:29,712 --> 01:00:32,647
ZVI: What happens now?
You come with us to Cairo.
1355
01:00:32,715 --> 01:00:35,013
This meeting's gonna be run
professional? Oh, absolutely.
1356
01:00:35,084 --> 01:00:37,109
We'll be talking to the
Deputy Defense Minister
1357
01:00:37,186 --> 01:00:40,485
while his boss gets a belly
dance from a friend of Charlie's.
1358
01:00:40,556 --> 01:00:42,615
What? A good friend
of mine back in Texas
1359
01:00:42,692 --> 01:00:43,886
is a well-known belly dancer.
1360
01:00:43,959 --> 01:00:47,554
It's always been her dream to
perform in Egypt, so she's our way in.
1361
01:00:47,630 --> 01:00:51,532
While she's dancing for the Defense
Minster, we'll be talking to the Deputy.
1362
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,932
Oh, my God. No, she's
supposed to be good.

That's an extraordinary woman. Oh, yeah.
1365
01:01:37,146 --> 01:01:39,740
That's not any belly
dance I'm familiar with.
1366
01:01:39,815 --> 01:01:43,114
That's why I wanted the
Defense Minister to see her.
1367
01:01:43,352 --> 01:01:46,947
This is your girlfriend? Carol's

Just for this one purpose,
yes, Mr. President.

The Israelis have the largest stockpile
of Soviet-made weapons in friendly hands.
1419
01:04:29,018 --> 01:04:30,417

everybody to Christianity.

set up a briefing for me at Langley.

There's no phones or
roads outside the cities.
1475
01:07:22,925 --> 01:07:24,358
It's likely that a
villager would live his life

without having contact with another
village just three miles down the road

unless he was going to war against them.
1478

Now, my thinking is instead
of 400,000 sloppy guys,
1479
01:07:31,900 --> 01:07:35,597
we concentrate on several elite
