Your friend from the Pentagon
Special Intelligence Unit came to see me.
Poundstone?
Yeah, Poundstone.
Poundstone's unit pushed all that WMD
intel you've been chasing your tail on.
What? You mean Magellan?
Who is Magellan?
Have you ever met him?
No.
Poundstone's got him
locked up tight.
That's why we gotta find out
what's going on.
Here's the deal.
We checked the notebook.
It's a list of addresses around Baghdad,
mostly Adhamiya.
It's a Sunni stronghold,
very sympathetic to the army.
More than likely,
that's where Al Rawi is.
The notebook's probably his line
to his battalion commanders.
We all set?
Not yet. We're waiting
on military support.
Push them hard. I want to
get every address in that book.
MILLER: So, what do you think
that meeting was about?
What would you be talking about
if you just got invaded?
You think Al Rawi
wants to fight?
If we don't make him
an offer, he will.
What? You're going
to cut a deal?
You're going to cut a deal
with the Jack of Clubs?
What do you think
you're doing here, Miller?
You're off reservation
for a reason. What is it?
Well, I came to find weapons
and save lives.
And I didn't find shit.
I want to know why.
There are no easy answers. If you
want that, go work with Poundstone.
All we got is hard choices.
You want to know what
happened to the weapons?
We gotta find Al Rawi
and bring him in.
He'll give us
the truth about WMD
and give us a shot at standing this
country up without a bloodbath.
Do you want the job or not?
Yeah, I want it.
Good.
Hamza's being held at the high-value
target wing at Camp Cropper.
Poundstone's unit
have him under wraps.
So, how are you going
to get to him?
I'm not. You are.
Here's a pass.
We've got another prisoner there
we can use to get you in.
Low-level Republican Guard,
way below their radar.
Use him as an excuse
to get to Hamza.
Here's a million
dollars in cash.
Tell Hamza the money's his
if he gives us what we need.
You tell him if
he gives Al Rawi to me,
keeps his mouth shut
over there until I bring him in,
I'll have him and his family out of
the country by the end of the week.
You want me to tell him to not
talk to the American interrogators?
That's right.
I thought we were
all on the same side.
Don't be naive.
(MAN MAKING PA ANNOUNCEMENTS)
POUNDSTONE: Miller.
Pentagon just

You're being released back to your unit,

You can go on

GUARD: Roger, sir.
Be right outside.
(SPEAKING ARABIC)
Do you know why
they brought him here?
He's here because he's in
the Republican Guard, Freddy.
Hey, Sergeant.
Hey, listen, this guy just gave us
a piece of intel.
You apparently have a prisoner in your
HVT wing here named Seyyed Hamza.
He can ID him for me.
I gotta get him down here
and ID him real quick.
You're going to need
an EJ-75 for that, man.
Guys, I got a live op going.
I got a team in place ready to move on
a target. I gotta do this now.
How long will it take?
2 minutes.
Just 2 minutes?
That's it. 2 minutes. Come on.
All right. Good, let's go.
Hey, Freddy.

He just say Jordan.

FREDDY:

(DOGS WHIMPERING)
(SPEAKING ARABIC)
(MAN CHATTERS ON RADIO)
(PEOPLE CHATTING)
I need to talk to you
about Magellan.
I'm going to call you
right back.
What you got?
I read your articles.
You said an Iraqi WMD source
named Magellan
met with US officials
prior to the war.
I need to know
about that meeting.
Oh, no. Come on, Miller.
I can't discuss my sources with you.
Well, did you ever meet the guy?
Do you know who he is?
Of course I didn't meet him.
He's an Iraqi internal, for Christ's sake.
Then how do you know
what he's saying is true?
Because I made contact through
a reliable intermediary.
Reliable?
Yes.
Have you ever even been to
any of Magellan's sites?
You ever been
to Diwaniya? Tikrit?
(CLEARING THROAT) No.
There's nothing there.
Magellan's intel
is bullshit.
(SIGHS)
Who's the intermediary?
No. I'm not discussing
sources, Miller.
Jesus Christ!
This is the reason we went to war!
All right, then at least tell me
how it happened.
How does this happen?
How does somebody like you
write something that's not true?
Tell me!
What do you know?
Look, I got a phone call one day
from a senior official in DC.
He says,
"I've got a story for you.
"The truth about
Saddam's WMD programs."
So I go to meet him.
He puts the source
report in my hands.
Magellan's product,
the raw intel.
But when do you
check the story?
He was a senior official,
for Christ's sake.
He had access
to Magellan's debrief.
All he asked was that I not disclose
the location of the meeting.
The location.
Yes, in case I'd
compromise the source.
It was Jordan, wasn't it?
The meeting was in Jordan.
Yes.
(PEOPLE TALKING)
You can keep
your million dollars.
Al Rawi's Magellan.
They're debriefing Magellan.
They've got him held tight.
Supposing they don't?
John, take care
of the money.
Hamza said Al Rawi
met US officials in Jordan.
Now Dayne said
the same thing about Magellan.
That's more
than a coincidence.
Maybe. It doesn't
make any sense.
If Poundstone met Al Rawi in Jordan,
what's he hiding?
Well, what if he told him something
he didn't wanna hear?
What if he told him
there were no WMD?
I want Al Rawi's
movements outside Iraq.
January, February, 2003.
Anything you got.
CIA TECH: I'm on it.
It all makes sense.
The bad intel.
Why our teams came up
empty at those sites.
Maybe we're looking at this thing
the wrong way around.
It's a theory.
You've got no proof.
Don't be naive.
Sir, Mohammed Al Rawi was in Amman,
Jordan on February 5th, 2003.
That's 3 days before
Magellan came online.
Give me Clark Poundstone's
movements, same period.
CIA TECH: Sir, we've got a DOD
Gulfstream on the same date.
Passenger Clark Poundstone routed
Washington, DC to Amman, Jordan.
Martin, we're getting reports of
an attack on an Al Rawi safe house.
South Adhamiya.
Poundstone's hunting Al Rawi.
He doesn't want the truth to get out.
I need to know where the next
safe house is.
(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)
(SPEAKING ARABIC)
All clear, Chief.
Send Freddy!
SOLDIER: Yes, sir!
Freddy, on the move.
Freddy, I need you
to translate.
Tell him I need to get a message
to General Al Rawi.
(TRANSLATING)
MILLER: Tell him I need
to meet Al Rawi tonight.
(PHONES RINGING)
Chief Miller on the
phone for you, sir.
Yeah?
MILLER: I got him.
Tahir al-Malik, one of Al Rawi's
battalion commanders.
Where is he?
I let him go.
Look, I told him to get
a message to Al Rawi.
I told him I'd meet him
at the Adhamiya bus station tonight.
If I can bring him in alive,
then we'll have our proof.
If he talks, then we'll get
the truth about WMD.
All right, if you get in front of Al Rawi,
offer him whatever you have to.
If you pull this off,
there's still a chance we can
hold this place together.
I'm headed there now.
You are serious to do a deal
with Mohammed Al Rawi?
You know what already
he do to this country?
We're just trying
to save lives, Freddy.
There are people who think
he can stop an insurgency.
All right, listen up,
we're going to Adhamiya.
But look, we're going alone,
so weapons check, comms check.
Make sure you're 100%.
We got no support.
Hooah?
ALL: Hooah!
You okay?
Sergeant P, can I get a radio check?
SOLDIER 1: Go to one.

What do you want?
I came here to bring you in.
General, I'm aware that you had
contact with a US official
in the weeks
leading up to the war.
I know you were ready to tell them
everything about Iraq's WMD programs.
What programs?
There are no programs.
I told your official.
We dismantled
everything after '91.
He told my government that you confirmed
that the programs were still active.
He lied about what you said.
That's why we're here.
Did anyone verify
his story?
No.
Your government wanted
to hear the lie, Mr. Miller.
They wanted Saddam out, and they
did exactly what they had to do.
This is why you are here.
Go.
BRIGGS: Alpha 1, this is Vanguard 6.
Give me your location.

I got north-south. Move to

ALPHA 1: Roger that.
So, do you have
a message for me?
General, if you
come in with me,
there are still people in Washington
who will work with you.
People who understand
that we still need the Iraqi army
to hold this place together.
Then why is your government
disbanding the Army?
Making us outlaws.
Why take Iraq apart
piece by piece?
Why?
I risked my life
to tell you the truth
about WMD.
"Tell the truth and you'll have a place
in the new Iraq," they said.
So where is my place,
Mr. Miller?
On a deck of cards?

You were supposed

go all the way down on the left side.
All right. Stand by.
Roger that, Chief.
MILLER: Let's go.
SOLDIER: Met-Delta team, go!
CONWAY: Move, move! Let's go!
Move! Move!
(PANTING)
MILLER: I got him. He's on the 5th floor,
southeast corner room.
I'm going to draw him out.
As soon as you see him,
take him.
MICHAELS: Roger.
Now! Now! Now!
Got him?
We got him.
3 coming out.
MILLER:
Michaels, send C-BIST over.
Go! Go! Go!
Potts, Keating, go! Go!
Second team, move!
Let's go! Move! Move!
WILKINS: Move it!
In.
SOLDIER: Check. Check.
Let's do it.
All right. Break out the gear.
I want everyone in full MOPP.
WILKINS: Now you heard Chief.
Get ready. Roll those seals tight.
I got it.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)
CONWAY:
No readings in here, Chief.
MILLER: All right,
Conway, open it up.
(METALLIC CLANGING)
SOLDIER: Nothing but
toilet parts over here.
Is this all pigeon shit?
PERRY: Yeah, thing looks like
it's been here about 10 years.
MILLER: Yep.
This is no WMD site.
SOLDIER: Pack it up.
WILKINS: Hey, Chief,
we find anything?
The site's empty.
WILKINS: Standing by.
(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)
Hey, where did that
intel come from?
Do you want me to double check the
target number for you? Because I can.
No, no, we're in the right location.
The schematic's right.
But who did it
originate with? I mean...
Hey, did this come
from the United Nations?
According to this data, Chief,
this is our intel.
Yeah, but how would they think
something was there?
This is the third straight time.
Let's go.
WILKINS:
You heard the chief. Move out.
All right, pack this shit up
and let's go.
SOLDIER: Roger that!
Let's go! Move!
SOLDIER: Step on it. Let's go.
Zubaidi will be on the middle chopper.
Get tight on his exit.
(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)
Swing it around.
Swing it around.
REPORTER 1:
The DOD guy's here to meet him.
MALE REPORTER: Reporting to you
live from the tarmac here...
REPORTER 1: Ready for the
close-up? Go, go, go!
REPORTER 2:
That's Poundstone from DOD.
How's it going?
Great day.
LAWRIE:
Yup, you finally got him here.
Well, we feel like we're making progress.
That's important.
So, what about
the weapons?
I'm frustrated by that, too.
We're doing everything we can.
We'll find the weapons, don't worry about it.
The whole world's watching.
They want to know where they are.
Make sure Zubaidi and I
are in the lead car, okay?
Jack, I want
your guys to tail us.
You got it, sir.
Clark!
What?
I need the source.
I need Magellan.
Do you have any idea how
sensitive this is?
We've got Magellan locked up so tight,
I'm not even sure I can get to him.
You're the administration's go-to guy
and you can't access your own source?
Lawrie, we're
debriefing him.
It takes time.
That comes first.
For Christ's sake, I've given you
everything I got on the guy so far.
What more do you want?
I don't want to hear it from you,
I want to hear it from him.
I'll see what I can do.
How are you?
Welcome home, sir.
We'll make this very brief.
REPORTER 1: How does it feel
to be back, Mr. Zubaidi?
Did you ever think
you'd see this day?
I'm an Iraqi citizen, returning
free to the city of my birth.
I call on all Iraqis to celebrate
our liberation from tyranny.
SOLDIER: Bravo 1, we've got
2 mechanics taking a look at it.
Tracking on the upgun
is pretty well shot
and the comm links
are all shorted out.
What's the time frame
on a replacement?
(CHATTER ON RADIO CONTINUES)
(ALL TALKING)
MAN: I want
a squad list, now!
Hey, where's Colonel Bethel?
He's in the back, Chief.
Thank you.
WILKINS: Roy, let me meet you
over here, okay?
Yeah, I'll meet you
in there.
Hey, sir.
Good to see you, Chief.
What's going on
with the intel?
You don't want to get into that
right now.
Well, we gotta talk about it. There's
nothing there. These sites are empty.
We're going to
be very careful,
or there's going to be
a huge shitstorm around here.
What do you mean?
They're blaming us
for not moving fast enough.
We have to stay on task.
That's bullshit.
The intel's no good.
Let's not make
any waves, okay?
They don't want to hear that back
in Washington.
All they're interested in is finding
something they can hold up on CNN.
Sir, but we gotta talk about this.
The intel is a problem.
Now is not
the time, Chief.
OFFICER: Roo!
On your feet!
Take your seats, people.
BETHEL: We're here this
morning to give the General
a check on where we are
in our search for WMD
and what our plans
are for the next 48 hours.
To that end, I'm turning the floor
over to Captain Jonathan Vaught.
Captain.
Sir.
Welcome, sir.
Today we're going to be briefing you
on WMD operations due to take place
in and around the Baghdad area
over the next 24 hours.
We're continuing to target
high-priority sites,
since all the folks back home are
anxiously awaiting the information
that we found these weapons.
We have a detailed media plan
we've worked out.
We've coordinated
with the public-affairs folks.
We have a good plan that
involves the top-rated media
in the United States
and the UK
so that they're prepared to cover
all aspects of the good news.
Yeah?
I had a couple questions
about the intel
for tomorrow.
Are we sure
this is accurate?
It's solid.
It's good to go.
What's the source?
GONZALES: Well, it's
a human-source intel.
But it's solid.
It's current as of 0400.
Was it the same source
we've been using?
Every site we've hit on the way up here,
we've rolled a donut.
(PEOPLE MURMURING)
Chief, how about we do this?
Let's talk offline.
Give me a list of the places where
you went, and the grids,
and we'll make sure that you had
the right information written down
and that you went to
the right places, okay?
Captain, the issue isn't the grids, sir.
The issue's that there's nothing there.
Stand down, Chief.
We need to move on here.
Don, hold on. Hold a second.
Let's hear what the chief has to say.
Okay, sir,
I'll give you an example.
We rolled into a site,
Diwaniya, last week, okay?
101st took casualties
securing it for us.
We got in there and found
it was a toilet factory.
I'm saying
there's a disconnect
between what's in these packets and
what we're seeing on the ground.
There's a problem
with the intelligence, sir.
Here's the thing, Chief.
These intelligence packages
have all been vetted.
They're good.
Your job's to execute them, not worry
about how they're put together.
Are we clear on that?
Yes, sir.
Good. Let's continue.
VAUGHT: Sir, as I was saying,
the intel is as recent as 0400 this morning.
It's actionable
and it's solid.
All right, next up is
Al Mansour, Baghdad.
It looks like it's some kind of
underground storage site.
You got about 12 klicks of open
highway to the city,
but there's a lot
of activity on that road,
so tell everybody
to keep their heads up.
All right.
Chief?
All right.
We're going to go chem. Yeah?
I'm gonna get all
the lead teams up, all right?
Yeah, yeah.
Martin Brown, CIA.
Roy Miller.
Yeah, I know.
I saw you at the meeting.
You're going to
the Al Mansour site in Baghdad.
Yeah.
You're wasting your time.
UN biological team
hit it 2 months ago.
There's nothing there.
Fuck me.
Here's my card.
You're right.
This thing doesn't add up.
The Iraqis don't fight,
they don't use WMD,
they let us walk in here and
find the goddamn cupboard's bare.
There's something
wrong here.
We gotta figure
out what it is.
If you find anything,
you've got my number.
SOLDIER ON RADIO:
That's affirmative.
We took on some fire
about 4 klicks back.
Pretty light, though.
Nothing to worry about.
(PEOPLE CLAMORING)
JOHNSON: Oh, I gotta get
some pictures of this.
POTTS: Be my guest.
Heads up. Incoming.
Fucking Potts,
you red-headed dick.
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
Hey, Wilkins, this is Chief.
Get up here.
WILKINS: Hold on!
Yo, Kurry, let's go.
Please, get back. Please.
I want you to get a couple of the guys
and clear out this traffic.
We're too exposed out here.
We gotta keep moving.
Back from the truck.
Sir, take it easy.
Please.
Please, step aside.
I need you to move
the vehicle, sir.
Hey, hey, relax.
Easy!
SOLDIER: Don't you
fucking touch me!
(ALL SHOUTING LOUDER)
Motherfucker, let's go.
Hey!
SOLDIER: Shut the fuck up.
Back the fuck up!
Hey! Hey! Hey,
hey, hey, hey!
What's going on, Sergeant?
Chief, they're pissed off.
They say there ain't no water.
All they want is water.
MILLER: There's nothing
we can do about that.
We just gotta get
our vehicles moving.
I want you to get the men
back in the vehicles now.
Hey! Hey!
SOLDIER: Get in the fucking car!
Get the fuck back!
Get the fuck back in your vehicle!
Back from the truck.
Get back from the truck.
(HONKING)
Don't stop.
DRIVER: No, sir.
(SHOUTING IN ARABIC)
Okay, so we're convening an Iraqi
Freedom convention
here inside
the Green Zone tomorrow.
We are expecting to have representatives
from all 3 main ethnic groups,
the Kurds, the Shia and the Sunni,
angling for different levels of power.
It is our hope
that Ahmed Zubaidi
will emerge in
a leadership position.
Ben, are you satisfied that
we're in a good place now?
I think we're
in a good place now,
except for, perhaps, the press
we're getting from this looting issue.
Okay, well,
let's table that for now.
In terms of stabilization...
Zubaidi hasn't been
here for 30 years.
Well, he's the best bet we have right now
for a stable democracy.
You find me 10 guys in Baghdad
who even know who he is.
Well, he's our friend, Marty.
He's been very helpful.
Our office is
extremely satisfied
with all the information
that we've gotten from him.
Zubaidi's been selling us
a crock of shit for years.
This guy is not reliable.
His intelligence is not reliable.
His report chain
is not reliable.
This is exactly why people are losing
confidence in the Agency, Marty.
You're questioning every single piece
of intelligence that's coming in,
up to the point where
we can't make any progress.
You cannot just hand this country over
to an exile no one's ever heard of
and a bunch of interns
from Washington.
Well, you're
a Middle East expert, Marty.
If you got a better idea, why don't
you just throw it out here on the table?
We need to use
the Iraqi army to help us.
This country is a powder keg
of ethnic division.
Now Saddam is gone, they're the only
ones who can hold this place together.
We're not selling that
to the American people.
We beat the Iraqi army.
Right.
Well, they're still out there
and they're armed,
and they're looking
for a place in the new Iraq.
They're going to be
waiting a long time.
They didn't all
follow Saddam.
There are officers
we can work with out there,
if we make it
worth their while.
Hey, let me tell
you something.
We've spent too
much American treasure
and too many American lives
for us to put a Ba'athist general
into a position of power.
Have you any idea what's going on
outside the Green Zone?
It's chaos. No police,
revenge killings every night.
People are asking
why we can't stop this.
We are losing the population.
Democracy is messy.
Democracy is messy.
If you dismantle this country
and cut out the army,
you'll have civil war in 6 months.
I guarantee it.
Okay, let's move on.

the intersection at Alpha-Charlie-3.
PERRY: Calm down!
FREDDY: Listen to me, please!
Just listen.
PERRY: Sergeant Wilkins!
(CLAMORING)
PERRY: Get on the ground!
FREDDY: My arm!
Hey, what's going on
over there, Wilkins?
WILKINS: Chief, there's a local here.
He's out of control.
Perry had to tackle him.
I'm on my way.
MILLER: All right, back up.
PERRY: You stay
the fuck down.
What's going on?
FREDDY: You are hurting me!
What's going on
here, Sergeant?
WILKINS: This Hajji says he needs
to talk to you about something.
I have no idea.
He goes on and on and on.
Stay down.
FREDDY: Why are you doing this?
Why you do it?
You agree someone
do this to you?
MILLER:
Hey, Perry. Perry.
You let him up.
Let him up.
FREDDY: You agree?
Up? I can stand up now?
Why you are doing this, huh?
Why you are doing this?
You agree someone
put your head in the dust like this?
You agree to be treated like this?
This is not fair!
Hey, calm down.
I'm trying to calm down,
but this guy, he put me on the floor!
Are you finished?
Yeah, I'm finished.
What's your name?
My name is Farid Youssef Abdul Rahman.
You call me Freddy, okay?
I have information.
I was driving like 5 minutes from here.
I saw some people, you know, like
Saddam's men, like Ba'athist people.
They are meeting.
They have a meeting near to here.
I saw you are...
I don't know, you're digging here,
and I come to tell you.
Okay, just calm down. Hey!
Calm down. Calm down.
Why should I believe
you, Freddy?
You think it's easy to come
and talk to American?
You think it's easy? I come here,
all these people, they're looking at me?
You stick me on the floor.
I want to speak to you quietly, huh.
And you are
digging in the ground.
Why you are digging
in the ground?
You need to talk to these people.
You know what they are saying?
You think someone can put
something in this place
with all these people watching and
all these people don't know?
It's not logical.
I am here to help you,
okay, Miller?
Come with me, Freddy.
Come with me.
WILKINS: Chief, you good?
Yeah, I'm fine.
SOLDIER: Sir, come
this way, please.
Hey, Chief! Chief,
what are we doing?
Hey, I'm gonna need his car keys.
Freddy, give him your car keys.
My keys?
Chief, you don't believe
this guy, do you?
Look, I wanna go
real low-vis on this.
I want to take Freddy's car and
I want to get maybe one other.
If we roll over there in those Humvees,
they're going to see us coming.
I want to take Keating, Potts,
Bronner on comms.
You gotta get me Michaels with
the SAW and bring Perry over here.
What's up, Chief?
Hey, you guys
ready to go to work?
Hell, yeah, Chief.
Chief, let me talk to you, please.
What?
Chief, our mission is here.
What, you wanna sit around
and dig holes all day?
I want to get something done.
(GIVING DIRECTIONS)
MILLER: All right,
here's the situation.
This Iraqi just showed
up with information
that about 2 or 3 "K" west of here,
there's a meeting
taking place right now,
possible high-value
targets involved.
So I want to move on it.
In the first car, I want to
take the Iraqi guy, Freddy.
Keating, you're going
to drive, I'll ride shotgun.
Potts, you're in the back
covering Freddy the entire time.
The rest of you guys are going to roll in
the pick-up truck. Any questions?
Hey, Chief, how do we know this guy
isn't leading us into a fucking ambush?
We don't.
Get your fucking game face on.
Roger.
Hooah.
ALL: Hooah!
All right, let's roll.
You're not letting me drive, huh?
No, you're not driving.
PERRY: Weapons ready.
It's Freddy, right?
I'm Potts. Nice to meet you.

Okay, Sergeant Perry,
I want you to carry on straight.
Take your next left, take your next left

PERRY: Roger that, Chief.
FREDDY: And if you stop here,
it is the house on that corner.
MILLER: Okay, pull up here.
Pull up here.
Okay, be advised, it is the house
on the southeast corner.
The big white house
with the wall.
Heads up.
Someone's coming out.
There were 6 or 7 men with guns.
All right, we got a guy with a briefcase
and another with an AK-47.
Perry, where are you?
You in position?
PERRY: In position,
Chief. We got them.
Black BMW with 3 men.
MILLER:
I want to take the BMW.
As soon as he comes up our way,
we're going to cut him off.
I want to take the BMW
and then the house. Go, go, go.
Go, go, go!
Out of the fucking car! Get
the fuck out of the car, now!
Perry, get on that door.
Get on that door.

This is the mother, that's the mother.
Enough! Enough.
Tell her to calm down.

It's a different dialect.

You cannot go

Freddy, come here.
I don't want this.
Hey, I need you to...
I come to you for information.
I don't want this.
Listen, I need you
to ask him questions for me.
Tell him you're
my translator.
(SPEAKING ARABIC)
Ask him...
Hey, what is this shit?
What is this?
Is this on him?
Yeah, that was fucking
in his back pockets.
FREDDY: He says
he doesn't do anything.
Ask him his name.
(QUESTIONING IN ARABIC)
His name's Seyyed Hamza.
Seyyed Hamza.
Is this his house?
Is this your house?
Hey, listen, tell him
he's gonna answer my questions
or things are going to go
very bad for him.
(SPEAKING ARABIC)
Ask him what the
meeting was about.
Chief, I just got
off the phone.
That license plate belongs to
General Mohammed Al Rawi.
The Jack of Clubs.
MICHAELS: Shut the fuck up!
Hey, Michaels,
do you have that deck of cards?
Yes.
MILLER: Give me
the Jack of Clubs.
POTTS: Is that the guy?
Was that the guy that went out the back?
MICHAELS: Here it is, Chief.
Let me see. Let me see.
POTTS: Is that the guy?
That's the guy. I just saw this guy.
Bullshit!
That's the fucking guy.
I just saw him downstairs.
This man. This is
Saddam's top general.
Al Rawi? You know
who this is? Al Rawi?
He say he don't know.
Al Rawi's in this house?
This is the guy I saw.
(SPITS)
Okay. Time's up. Okay,
get everybody ready. We're leaving.
MILLER: All right, he's got to know
about WMD. He's coming with me.
Hey, Freddy,
I want you to come with me.
Hey, Michaels!
What's up, Chief?
Bring them all
over to the wall.
Potts, I want you to get the guy.
Get the guy and bring him to me.
Roger that, Chief.
Just sit him down against the wall.
Yes, sir.
Sit those guys
over there.
MILLER: Come over here, Freddy.
Come here. I need you to translate.
Tell him I want to know about
weapons of mass destruction.
(TRANSLATING)
Does he know where
the weapons are?
What? What?
What do you know about weapons?
Where are the weapons?
He say only General Mohammed Al Rawi,
he know about these things.
The special program
is under his hand personally.
He's the only one who know
the truth about these things.
Okay, how do
I find Al Rawi?
How do I find Al Rawi?
He said, can you
protect his family?
"If you protect my family,
I will tell you how you find Mohammed.
"And then from him
you will know the truth."
Okay, he's got a deal.
Ask him about the book.
What is it? Is it codes?
Is it diagrams? Maps?
(HELICOPTERS APPROACHING)
What the fuck?
All right, Scotty,
head on down there.
Shorty, bag them and parade them.
Yes, sir.
Hey, you Miller?
Yeah.
Where are the other 2?
2 what?
We're missing 2 pucks.
Anybody got eyes on the other 2 pucks?
No, no, no!
These are my guys. Hold on.
These are my prisoners.
BRIGGS: My prisoner now.
Hey! That's my translator!
That's my translator!
What the fuck is going on?
I got a colonel
waiting on these guys.
I got orders to get
these guys back there.
They're en route right now.
Hey, white bread,
calm down.
This goes way up higher
than your people, all right?
Please, stand right there.
Come on.
That prisoner's ours.
Well, he's mine now. Let's go.
SEYYED: Take care
of my family!
What they are doing?
I did nothing!
The book!
He's got my book!

what the fuck's going on?
Fuck!
Yeah, I got him.
He says some guy took a book off him.
Book? All right, all right.
Notebook.
He says something
about a book.
His what?
You got his book.
He says you got his fucking book.
Do you have the guy's notebook?
Don't fuck around.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Get your fucking
hands off me, asshole.
(ALL SHOUTING)
Just give me the
fucking book, Miller.
All right.
BRIGGS: I fucking
asked you nicely!
Fuck you!
I don't have a fucking book!
Have a nice war.

Get off me!
Hey!
Where's Freddy?
SOLDIER: You mean the guy
with the limp? Yeah.
He went over
by the alleyway.

were watching him.
Where's my weapon?

I was going to bring the book back.
The man is putting Iraqis in the helicopter.
He hit you in the face.
What you want me to do?
What I have to do
for you to believe me?
Get everyone
back to the trucks.
POTTS: Roger.
Hey, let's go.
Let's go.
What more I have to do
for you? Huh?
I come to you with information.
You take the information, it's right.
You want the book. I have the book.
I give you the book.
You think I can
leave my car?
You know what this car,
it means to me?
Even you have the key!
(PANTING)

What happened to your leg?
My leg is in Iran.
Since 1987.
Me, too, I fight
for my country.
Freddy, listen.
You give me your information.
I'm going to get you a reward
for what you did today.
Reward?
You think I do
this for money?
You think I don't care about my country?
I see what's happening.
You don't think I see
what's happen in it?
And all the people now,
even they have no water,
they have no electricity.
You think I do this
for reward?
You don't think
I do this for me?
For my future? For my country?
For all these things?
Whatever you want here,
I want more than you want.
I want to help my country.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Who is this?
Hey, this is Chief Miller.
I have something
I think you'd be interested in.
MARTIN: Listen, I don't have time to play
games. Just tell me what you've got.
Well, this morning I came face to face
with Mohammed Al Rawi.
General Al Rawi?
Yeah, the Jack of Clubs.
MARTIN:
Come in and talk to me.
I'm in the Green Zone, Republican Palace.
By the pool.
I'm on my way. WILKINS: Listen,
make sure Johnson runs checks...
Hey, Sergeant Wilkins,
I gotta talk to you.
We gotta go get our prisoner back,
find this guy, Al Rawi.
Let Bethel handle it, please.
No. Bethel can't see past
the files on his desk.
So, what, you're going to ring
the doorbell now
and ask Special Forces
to hand him over? No.
I'm going to use the book and
trade up and get some help.
What are you
talking about?
Jerry, why the fuck do we keep
coming up empty on all these sites?
There has gotta
be a reason.
Chief, we're here to do
a job and get home safe.
That's all.
The reasons don't matter.
They matter to me.
With all due respect, Chief,
I can't go with you on this.
Understood. I'm going
to split the team.
I'm going to take my crew
plus Sergeant Perry.
You report back to Bethel
with everyone else, hooah?
Hooah.
Hey, Freddy.
You want a job?
Yes.
Good. Get in your car,
follow us.
DRIVER:
Where to, Chief?
Republican Palace.
This is not
a good time, Lawrie.
I've waited
long enough.
I told you,
I'm doing the best I can.
This is not what
I signed up for, Clark.
I put my reputation
on the line with these stories.
I am not going to let you hang
me out to dry.
Well, there's huge
things at stake here.
I'm not going to let them be compromised
because you need to sell some newspapers.
You knew the deal. I give you Magellan,
you give me anonymity.
Listen, Clark, I'm done waiting,
so is the paper.
You won't help me find Magellan,
I'm going to find someone who can.
Right here.
(CHATTER ON RADIO)
TOURIST: Can you get me
some more beers? Frisbee!
MILLER: Oh, shit!
(LAUGHING)
(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)
Oh, my goodness.
We got enough time for that?
These guys got Domino's Pizza
and fucking beer?
TOURIST: Get in the pool, man.
Sergeant Perry, I've gotta
go talk to this guy,
so you all are on your own
for a little while.
Roger that.
Can we have beer?
PERRY: Not one.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
So, what happened?
We were digging at a site.
Local come up to us and give us a tip
that there was a meeting going on
with some high-value
targets nearby.
We hit the house, and it turned out
the guy was right. Al Rawi was there.
You sure it was him?
Positive.
He had a security detail with him,
and we exchanged fire with them
and he slipped out
during the firefight.
Now that's the book that I took off
this guy, Seyyed Hamza.
He was the host
of the meeting.
And I was in the process
of figuring out what the fuck it was
when SF showed up
and snatched him.
God damn!
Okay, but where
did they take him?
Because if you can get me
access to this guy,
I'll get Al Rawi.
Look, we're both
after the WMD, right?
It's a little more
complicated than that.
Well, not to me, it isn't.
All right, I'll make a call,
get you reassigned.
There are some empty buildings on
the other side of the compound.
Get out of uniform and
report to my office in an hour.
Outstanding.
How'd you get
the bloody nose?
Oh, that's a long story.
You're in the 85th.
That's WMD unit, right?
How did you know that?
It's right there
on your rifle.
Lawrie Dayne, Wall Street Journal.
How's it going?
You know, we haven't found shit yet.
Hey, Sergeant Perry.
We'll find it.
It's frustrating, right?
Little bit.
So what are you
and Marty talking about?
Oh, you know I can't
talk to you about that.
Oh, come on.
You come in fresh off the field to
have a lemonade with Martin Brown?
Something's gotta be going on.
Well, you could ask him.
I'm asking you.
Does it make sense to you that
we're still coming up empty?
No. No, it doesn't.
Someone told us
they were there, right?
If you come
across anything,
call me.
I'll keep it in mind.
INTERROGATOR:
Where's he hiding? Where's Al Rawi?
(SEYYED SOBBING)
TRANSLATOR:
Where's Al Rawi?
How long have
they been going?
For about 10 minutes.
INTERROGATOR: You want to see your
wife and kids again? You have 5 kids.
You want them
to see their father?
TRANSLATOR: He says, "Please, do not
involve my family in this situation. "
(PLEADING IN ARABIC)
"I swear to God... "
INTERROGATOR: You're involved,
so your family's involved.
All I want is an answer,
where to look for this man,
and you can walk out of here.
Where's Al Rawi?
TRANSLATOR: Where's Al Rawi?
INTERROGATOR: And I want
a name or an address.
Somewhere I can find
General Al Rawi.
I am going
to get an answer,
and you know you're going to
tell me something.
All right, I'm going to let go and
you're going to give me an address.
(SEYYED COUGHING)
Where's Al Rawi?
Where is he?
The book! The book!
TRANSLATOR:
He says you need the book.
The fucking book again?
What's in the book?
TRANSLATOR: "The book,
that's how you'll find him. "
It has the names and locations
of Al Rawi's safe houses.
Chief Miller around?
Yeah. Up the stairs,
down on the right.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Hey, Chief, Clark Poundstone,
Pentagon Special Intelligence Unit.
A great job bagging Hamza.
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Walk you out?
Sure.
You're with our MET Team, right?
Yeah.
Well, the administration really appreciates
the work you guys are doing.
We gotta get this WMD
issue behind us
so we can get on with the challenges
of the future.
That's where this Hamza guy
could be helpful.
He's confirmed
a few facts for us.
Says your guys might have
lifted a notebook from him.
Well, everything
I got off him I gave to Martin Brown.
Why don't you ask him
if he's got it?
(CHUCKLES)
I don't think Marty would go for that.
He's a hell of a guy, but he's been
in the Middle East a long time.
He's got a lot of
preconceived ideas.
Our unit's trying to get
back to the raw intel.
Look, I don't want
to throw Marty under a bus,
but he doesn't like
what we're coming up with.
The guy's a dinosaur,
and we need to get some new thinking
going on around here.
There's an opportunity
for you here, Miller.
I know Marty's pulled
you in temporarily,
but if you're looking for something
more permanent, I can help.
We're doing a good thing here.
We're going to rebuild this place.
People are watching us.
I'll keep it in mind.
You do that.
If you hear anything about
that notebook, let me know.
