MAN: The defeat and breakup
of the Soviet empire,
2
00:02:08,347 --> 00:02:11,214
culminating in the crumbling
of the Berlin Wall,
3
00:02:11,284 --> 00:02:14,481
is one of the great events
of world history.
4
00:02:14,554 --> 00:02:16,419
There were many heroes
in this battle,
5
00:02:16,489 --> 00:02:20,585
but to Charlie Wilson
must go this
special recognition.
6
00:02:21,994 --> 00:02:26,021
Just 13 years ago,
the Soviet Army appeared
to be invincible.
7
00:02:26,966 --> 00:02:30,026
But Charlie, undeterred,
8
00:02:30,102 --> 00:02:32,195
engineered
a lethal body blow
9
00:02:32,271 --> 00:02:34,762
that weakened
the Communist empire.
10
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,671
Without Charlie,
11
00:02:36,742 --> 00:02:41,008
history would be hugely
and sadly different.
12
00:02:41,814 --> 00:02:43,281
And so,
for the first time,
13
00:02:43,349 --> 00:02:47,752
a civilian is being given
our highest recognition,
14
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:49,845
that of Honored Colleague.
15
00:02:50,523 --> 00:02:53,686
Ladies and gentlemen

(SOUL MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)
18
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:21,508
It'd be like Dallas.
19
00:03:21,587 --> 00:03:22,576
CRYSTAL: That's right.
20
00:03:22,655 --> 00:03:23,644
You know what I'm saying?
21
00:03:23,723 --> 00:03:25,281
Like Dallas but set
in Washington.
22
00:03:25,358 --> 00:03:27,155
Yeah.
And you should
say it just like that.
23
00:03:27,226 --> 00:03:28,659
When I pitch it.
You should say it just...
24
00:03:28,728 --> 00:03:31,322
"Oh, this is fucking great."
You should say it
just like that.
25
00:03:31,397 --> 00:03:33,092
Dallas set
in Washington D.C.
26
00:03:33,165 --> 00:03:35,531
You know,
with the intrigue
and the power plays
27
00:03:35,601 --> 00:03:37,228
and the overt
natural sex.
28
00:03:37,303 --> 00:03:38,702
The glamour,
the power.
29
00:03:38,771 --> 00:03:40,671
CRYSTAL: Do you know
what I'm saying?
PAUL: It's fucking Dallas.
30
00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:41,968
CRYSTAL: Or,
or Falcon Crest.
31
00:03:42,041 --> 00:03:43,030
Yes.
32
00:03:43,109 --> 00:03:44,303
That's set in Washington.
33
00:03:44,377 --> 00:03:45,969
Say it to Charlie
like that.
34
00:03:46,045 --> 00:03:49,208
The resistance fighters
disguised us as one
of them.
35
00:03:49,448 --> 00:03:50,676
Charlie.

(CLEARS THROAT)

00:03:52,385 --> 00:03:55,183

but in Washington.

With Crystal
in the starring role.
39
00:03:56,522 --> 00:03:57,511
Yeah.
40
00:03:57,590 --> 00:03:59,990
You tell me when to watch.
I'll make sure I'm home.
41
00:04:00,059 --> 00:04:01,651
You don't think
I can make it happen?
42
00:04:01,727 --> 00:04:03,820
I don't know anything
about how any
of that works.
43
00:04:03,896 --> 00:04:06,057
I do.
You said that
you would listen to him.
44
00:04:06,132 --> 00:04:07,292
That's why we're here.
45
00:04:07,366 --> 00:04:09,834
Do they routinely
give starring roles
on network programs
46
00:04:09,902 --> 00:04:12,132
to people who haven't
acted professionally
before?
47

She was just on
the fucking cover
of Playboy, Charlie.
48
00:04:14,507 --> 00:04:16,202
Well, I guess
that's just the
same thing.
49
00:04:16,275 --> 00:04:18,038
Would you take
this seriously, please?
50
00:04:18,110 --> 00:04:20,340
I am taking it seriously,
hon, but can you all
tell me something?
51
00:04:20,413 --> 00:04:22,347
What is...
What is Dan Rather
wearing right now?
52
00:04:22,415 --> 00:04:23,973
What?
Dan Rather.
53
00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:25,039
What is he wearing?
54
00:04:25,117 --> 00:04:26,106
You're watching TV?
55
00:04:26,185 --> 00:04:27,209
Why hasn't he shaved?
56
00:04:27,286 --> 00:04:28,583
Well, who gives a damn?
57
00:04:28,654 --> 00:04:31,987
Excuse me! Hey! Excuse me,
could you turn that up?
58
00:04:32,058 --> 00:04:34,959
Could you just turn up
the volume on the TV?
59

Oh, I'm completely high.
60
00:04:36,562 --> 00:04:38,120
Yeah. Okay.

Still, could you just
grab the remote there
62
00:04:40,433 --> 00:04:42,731
and find
the volume button?

gonna do business?

a turban, Paul. Don't
you want to know why?

He's doing a thing
from India.
66

No, that's Afghanistan.
Got it.
67

Appreciate it.
WOMAN TRANSLATOR: We got it...
We captured it

00:04:54,847 --> 00:04:56,371
from the Afghan,
the Afghan army.
Thank you.

Does he have
ammunition for this?
He has three.
70

But does he have ammunition?
A lot of ammunition?
71
00:05:00,119 --> 00:05:01,814
Well, he's talking
about the mujahideen.

we didn't capture any.

74
00:05:04,256 --> 00:05:07,851
No, mujahideen means,
like, holy warriors.

And he was... He is saying
that, you know, America
seems to be asleep.
79
00:05:16,402 --> 00:05:19,428
It doesn't seem to realize
that if Afghanistan goes
80
00:05:19,505 --> 00:05:21,564
and the Russians
go over to the Gulf,
81
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,904
that in a very short time,

of the United States as well.

that in Vietnam...

No. We just... We don't
meet a lot of guys here

know about the world
and like to party.

talking about themselves.

have a point there.

it happen, and you know

against the Soviets.

on this thing

and I want to do.

First off,
I'd appreciate it
136
00:07:27,967 --> 00:07:30,094
if you didn't throw my name
around quite so much,
137
00:07:30,169 --> 00:07:33,661
'cause, from time to time,
I use it myself, and I need
it in good condition.
138
00:07:33,739 --> 00:07:35,900
Second, I'm
from Lufkin, Texas.
139
00:07:35,975 --> 00:07:37,806
I'm the son of an accountant
for a timber company.
140
00:07:37,877 --> 00:07:41,745
I take home about
700 bucks a week,
and I pay alimony,
141
00:07:41,814 --> 00:07:45,773
so the idea that I got
$29,000 in the bank
is pretty hysterical.

That said,
I love your idea.

is sitting
in your office.
Hey.

00:08:10,409 --> 00:08:11,933
Yeah, I told him
he could come in.
156
00:08:12,011 --> 00:08:13,808
He wants to talk
to you about a creche.
157

What, a nativity scene
with baby Jesus?
158
00:08:15,915 --> 00:08:18,076
Yeah, it's on public property,
and the city's making
him move it.
159
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:19,708
Shit. I thought
he was just coming in
160
00:08:19,785 --> 00:08:21,616
to get his picture took,
you know?
Congressman.
161
00:08:21,687 --> 00:08:22,949
Yeah?
You're exactly
who I need to speak to.
162
00:08:23,022 --> 00:08:24,011
You have a moment?
Sure.
163
00:08:24,089 --> 00:08:25,886
Tip asked me
to talk to you.
Okay.
164
00:08:25,958 --> 00:08:27,823
He wanted me to talk to you
about John Murtha.
165
00:08:27,893 --> 00:08:30,521
Go ahead.
The prosecutor's
gonna go after him.
166
00:08:30,596 --> 00:08:32,029
Well, they ain't
gonna find anything.
167
00:08:32,097 --> 00:08:34,361
John Murtha's as clean
as my mother's kitchen floor.
168
00:08:34,433 --> 00:08:35,832
Yeah, but Tip would
like to put you
169
00:08:35,901 --> 00:08:37,459
on the Ethics Committee
just the same.
170
00:08:37,536 --> 00:08:39,231
You're kidding.
No.
171
00:08:39,305 --> 00:08:41,432
Well, Jesus, Donnelly,
everyone in town knows
172
00:08:41,507 --> 00:08:42,838
I'm on the other side
of that issue.
173
00:08:42,908 --> 00:08:45,001
Ethics?
Yeah!
174
00:08:45,077 --> 00:08:47,978
Well, the Speaker would
like to put you on the
committee anyway.
175
00:08:48,047 --> 00:08:51,574
Okay. Well, if anyone asks
what the hell I'm doing
on the Ethics Committee,
176
00:08:51,650 --> 00:08:54,380
we'll just tell them
I like chasing women
and drinking whiskey
177
00:08:54,453 --> 00:08:56,580
and the Speaker felt
we were underrepresented.
178
00:08:56,655 --> 00:08:58,316
One man, one vote.
Exactly.
179
00:08:58,390 --> 00:08:59,755
Tip's gonna want
to return the favor.
180
00:08:59,825 --> 00:09:01,759
Tuesday, right?
That is Tuesday, yes.
181
00:09:01,827 --> 00:09:03,385
So if anything comes up
that you'd like me
182
00:09:03,462 --> 00:09:04,554
to speak with him
about, please...
183
00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:05,688
Yes.
184
00:09:06,165 --> 00:09:07,223
Yes!
185
00:09:07,766 --> 00:09:10,394
I'd like to be on
the Board of Directors
of the Kennedy Center.
186
00:09:10,502 --> 00:09:11,526
Charlie.
I'm sorry?
187
00:09:11,604 --> 00:09:14,596
Turns out Congress appoints
the Board of Directors
of the Kennedy Center.
188
00:09:14,673 --> 00:09:18,609
It's a great place to take
a date, and I can never
afford the tickets.
189
00:09:18,677 --> 00:09:20,542
Consider it done.
Excellent.
190
00:09:21,547 --> 00:09:22,571
Go vote.
191
00:09:22,648 --> 00:09:25,617
Another few minutes.
Let's see what's
on the wires.
192
00:09:25,684 --> 00:09:28,380
Why can't you wait
for newspapers like
everybody else?
193
00:09:28,454 --> 00:09:30,718
'Cause I think it's productive
to know today's news today.
194
00:09:30,789 --> 00:09:33,349
And it makes me one day
smarter than you,
which I enjoy as well.
195
00:09:33,425 --> 00:09:34,915
I know you do.
196
00:09:34,994 --> 00:09:36,461
You don't think
that's a little crazy?
197
00:09:36,528 --> 00:09:38,689
Pan Am and Eastern
are lowering their fares.
198
00:09:38,764 --> 00:09:40,629
'Cause of Braniff.
What's a little crazy?
199
00:09:40,699 --> 00:09:42,132
Joining the Board
of the Kennedy Center
200
00:09:42,201 --> 00:09:44,135
so you can get free tickets
to the Royal Ballet of...
201
00:09:44,203 --> 00:09:45,295
Hold on.
What?
202
00:09:45,371 --> 00:09:47,100
AP story out of Kabul.
203
00:09:47,172 --> 00:09:48,537
Uzbekistan?
204
00:09:48,741 --> 00:09:50,140
Afghanistan.
205
00:09:50,943 --> 00:09:54,401
Russia, Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Iran, Iraq,
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia,
206
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,345
Jordan, Israel, Egypt.
207
00:09:59,318 --> 00:10:01,343
Jim Van Wagenen's
our point man
on black approps
208
00:10:01,420 --> 00:10:02,785
for the Defense
Subcommittee?
209
00:10:02,855 --> 00:10:03,913
Yeah.
210
00:10:03,989 --> 00:10:06,219
Have him come to my office
as soon as possible.
211
00:10:06,291 --> 00:10:07,758
How am I voting on this?
BONNIE: Yes.
212
00:10:07,826 --> 00:10:08,986
You sure?
Yes.
213
00:10:09,061 --> 00:10:10,551
The Boy Scouts?
214
00:10:10,629 --> 00:10:13,223
Jim Van Wagenen.
Get him and show him
that wire story.
215
00:10:13,298 --> 00:10:15,129
Yes, sir.
You are the man
I wanted to talk to.
216
00:10:17,036 --> 00:10:18,298
The Congressman will
be here in a moment.
217
00:10:18,370 --> 00:10:20,065
He's just coming up
from a vote.
218
00:10:20,139 --> 00:10:21,606
I'm sure it's
an important one.
219
00:10:21,674 --> 00:10:22,800
No. Not really.
220
00:10:23,308 --> 00:10:25,299
SUZANNE: So, Marla, can you
fit this into his schedule
next week?
221
00:10:25,377 --> 00:10:26,366
(PHONE RINGING)
222
00:10:26,445 --> 00:10:28,106
RECEPTIONIST:
Charlie Wilson's office.
Good morning.
223
00:10:28,180 --> 00:10:29,340
The third...
224
00:10:29,415 --> 00:10:31,645
It is? How are you?
225
00:10:31,717 --> 00:10:33,014
BONNIE: Suzanne, can you
help me with this?
Okay.
226
00:10:33,085 --> 00:10:34,916
SUZANNE: I'll be right back.
RECEPTIONIST: I'll have
him do it.
227
00:10:34,987 --> 00:10:35,976
Okay, bye-bye.
228
00:10:36,055 --> 00:10:37,420
LARRY: Miss?
Yes, sir?
229
00:10:37,489 --> 00:10:41,755
It seems to me, looking
around, that it's almost
all women working here,
230
00:10:41,827 --> 00:10:44,227
and that they're
all very pretty.
231
00:10:44,463 --> 00:10:45,452
Is that common?
232
00:10:45,531 --> 00:10:46,623
(LAUGHS) Well,
233
00:10:46,699 --> 00:10:48,929
Congressman Wilson,
he has an expression.
234
00:10:49,001 --> 00:10:53,665
He says, "You can teach them
to type, but you can't teach
them to grow tits."
235
00:10:53,906 --> 00:10:55,271
Well, that's charming.
236
00:10:55,340 --> 00:10:57,035
Larry!
Congressman!
237
00:10:57,109 --> 00:11:00,943
No, no, no. For $5,000
every two years you get
to call me Charlie.
238
00:11:01,013 --> 00:11:04,881
And for 10,000, you can call
me Betty Sue and I'll clean
out your rain gutters.
239
00:11:04,950 --> 00:11:05,974
This is my daughter, Jane.
240
00:11:06,051 --> 00:11:07,313
Well, now I remember Jane.
Two-L at SMU.
241
00:11:07,386 --> 00:11:08,978
Charlie Wilson's office.
Good morning.
242
00:11:09,054 --> 00:11:10,681
Welcome to the
United States Congress.
243
00:11:10,756 --> 00:11:13,088
Hey, I'm gonna
talk to your daddy
for a couple of seconds.
244
00:11:13,158 --> 00:11:15,319
Larry, can we
get you a drink?
245
00:11:15,394 --> 00:11:16,622
It's 10:00 in the morning.
246
00:11:16,695 --> 00:11:18,856
Well, fair enough,
I guess.
247
00:11:19,798 --> 00:11:21,197
Grab a seat.
248
00:11:21,934 --> 00:11:24,903
Now, this situation
with the creche, I want
to know all about it.
249
00:11:24,970 --> 00:11:25,959
Well, sir,
250
00:11:26,038 --> 00:11:27,027
(CLEARS THROAT)
251
00:11:27,573 --> 00:11:30,565
Every single year
since the world was young,
252
00:11:31,376 --> 00:11:35,244
the firehouse in the
Nacogdoches Township
has displayed a creche.
253
00:11:35,314 --> 00:11:38,750
Now, the ACLU has filed suit
against the township
254
00:11:38,817 --> 00:11:42,309
for displaying
a religious symbol
on public property.
255
00:11:42,387 --> 00:11:44,548
It's Christmas time.
It's a creche.
256
00:11:44,623 --> 00:11:47,353
I could understand
if we were in
gosh-darn Scarsdale,
257
00:11:47,426 --> 00:11:51,055
but this is east Texas,
and I want to know
who we're offending.
258
00:11:51,130 --> 00:11:52,961
Except two lawyers
from the ACLU.
259
00:11:53,031 --> 00:11:56,467
That is a terribly interesting
and complicated question.
260
00:11:56,535 --> 00:11:58,366
Let me make
this suggestion, though.
261
00:11:58,437 --> 00:12:01,270
There's a church about
a block and a half
262
00:12:01,340 --> 00:12:04,275
from that firehouse,
First Baptist Church
of Nacogdoches.
263
00:12:04,343 --> 00:12:07,039
They've got
a beautiful rolling lawn
out there in front.
264
00:12:07,112 --> 00:12:08,909
No, no. This
is a Christian
country, Charlie,
265
00:12:08,981 --> 00:12:10,949
founded
on Christian values.
Sure.
266
00:12:11,016 --> 00:12:13,075
We welcome other faiths
to worship as they wish,
267
00:12:13,152 --> 00:12:15,518
but when you can't
put a nativity scene
268
00:12:15,587 --> 00:12:18,681
in front of a firehouse
at Christmas time
in Nacogdoches Township,
269
00:12:18,757 --> 00:12:20,190
something's gone
terribly wrong.
270
00:12:20,259 --> 00:12:22,352
Well, that's not
really true, Larry.
271
00:12:22,427 --> 00:12:25,021
You could move that creche
over to that church
272
00:12:25,097 --> 00:12:26,086
and everything's just fine.
273
00:12:26,165 --> 00:12:27,359
That's not the point!
274
00:12:27,432 --> 00:12:30,560
Okay. Why don't
we just start back
at the beginning?
275
00:12:30,636 --> 00:12:31,830
What can I do for you?
276
00:12:31,904 --> 00:12:34,065
You can intervene
in the case against
the creche committee.
277
00:12:34,139 --> 00:12:35,333
Intervene? How?
278
00:12:35,407 --> 00:12:36,931
You appointed the judge.
279
00:12:37,009 --> 00:12:38,306
I don't appoint judges.
280
00:12:38,377 --> 00:12:40,242
I just made a recommendation
to the President.
281
00:12:40,312 --> 00:12:41,336
Uh-huh.
282
00:12:41,413 --> 00:12:42,710
I think you and I both know
what that means.
283
00:12:42,781 --> 00:12:43,805
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
284
00:12:43,882 --> 00:12:46,715
I cannot just call up
a judge and tell him
what to do.
285
00:12:46,785 --> 00:12:48,685
Why?
Well, 'cause
it's against a shitload
286
00:12:48,754 --> 00:12:51,018
of really good laws, Gary.
287
00:12:51,089 --> 00:12:52,852
Larry.
Larry.
288
00:12:52,925 --> 00:12:57,919
I got to go talk to this guy
out here for a second.
Will you excuse me?
289
00:12:57,996 --> 00:12:59,190
By the way,
I love Jesus Christ
290
00:12:59,264 --> 00:13:00,891
and his mother Mary
as much as anybody.
291
00:13:00,966 --> 00:13:04,561
About 38 churches you could
move that creche to,
everybody lives.
292
00:13:04,736 --> 00:13:05,794
Give me a call.
Okay.
293
00:13:05,871 --> 00:13:07,065
I love Chivas.
294
00:13:07,139 --> 00:13:08,902
Jane, how are you?
295
00:13:08,974 --> 00:13:10,601
You need a cup of coffee?
296
00:13:10,676 --> 00:13:13,042
Something to drink?
Anything like that? Okay.
Mmm-mmm.
297

Jim.
Congressman.
298
00:13:14,980 --> 00:13:16,880
You see Lederer's
AP story out of Kabul?
299
00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:18,416
Yeah.
We're reading this
story every day now.
300
00:13:18,483 --> 00:13:19,507
You see Dan Rather
last night?
301
00:13:19,585 --> 00:13:21,075
Yeah. I did.
302
00:13:21,153 --> 00:13:23,451
Tell me something.
What is the Defense
Subcommittee's budget
303
00:13:23,522 --> 00:13:25,649
for covert ops against
the Communists
in Afghanistan?
304
00:13:25,724 --> 00:13:26,918
All in?
All in.
305
00:13:26,992 --> 00:13:28,584
It's 5 million.
306
00:13:30,195 --> 00:13:33,358
Well, they can't
shoot down helicopters
for $5 million, Jim.
307
00:13:33,432 --> 00:13:36,833
Though they're trying to.
Which is more than
I can say for us.
308
00:13:36,902 --> 00:13:38,665
Get everybody together
for me, would you?
309
00:13:38,871 --> 00:13:40,361
And double it.

be much longer, okay?

into a meeting.
320

Sure.
321
00:14:06,632 --> 00:14:09,226
My XO wrote in a report,
322
00:14:09,301 --> 00:14:13,704
I was the best officer
he ever served at sea with,
323
00:14:13,772 --> 00:14:17,902
and the worst officer
he ever served in port with.
324
00:14:17,976 --> 00:14:20,069
(LAUGHS)
You can look it up.
325
00:14:20,145 --> 00:14:22,739
I must've graduated
from Annapolis

with the second most demerits
of any midshipman

had the most? I want
to sleep with him.

I took off a few
of my clothes.

to live with that, Jane.

You want some of this?
337
00:14:56,148 --> 00:14:57,308
No, no, I got this.
338
00:14:57,382 --> 00:14:58,713
I like both.
339
00:14:58,784 --> 00:15:00,877
Well, it must be
great being me.
340
00:15:00,953 --> 00:15:02,580
I've heard it is.
341
00:15:03,655 --> 00:15:05,782
Iwo Jima Memorial.
342
00:15:05,857 --> 00:15:07,381
There's the Lincoln.
343
00:15:07,459 --> 00:15:09,984
Washington. Now follow it
around to the right.
344
00:15:10,062 --> 00:15:13,930
CHARLIE:
The Jefferson Memorial.
The Arlington Bridge.
345
00:15:13,999 --> 00:15:16,934
And there's the Pentagon.
346
00:15:17,002 --> 00:15:18,401
Oh, that's the Pentagon.
347
00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:19,596
That's the Pentagon.
348
00:15:19,671 --> 00:15:23,573
How about I show you
the second best view
in the District?
349
00:15:23,642 --> 00:15:25,701
Why, Jane, would you like...
350
00:15:25,777 --> 00:15:26,766
(PHONE RINGING)
351
00:15:27,579 --> 00:15:28,568
(SIGHS)
352
00:15:28,814 --> 00:15:30,008
Well, that was predictable.
353
00:15:31,516 --> 00:15:33,177
Just give me one second.
354
00:15:34,386 --> 00:15:36,320
Hello?
WOMAN: That was an
extraordinary thing
355
00:15:36,388 --> 00:15:37,878
you did today.
356
00:15:38,323 --> 00:15:39,312
Who is this?
357
00:15:39,391 --> 00:15:40,449
It's Joanne.
358
00:15:40,826 --> 00:15:42,020
Joanne!
359
00:15:42,761 --> 00:15:44,956
Why, gosh, how nice
to hear from you.
360
00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:46,861
Could I call you back
in a little bit?
361
00:15:46,932 --> 00:15:49,059
Is Ronald Reagan
in your bedroom
right now?
362
00:15:49,134 --> 00:15:51,193
No.
Then I'm considerably
more important
363
00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:53,237
than whoever is.
Is anything wrong?
364
00:15:53,305 --> 00:15:56,035
This is gonna take
just a second or two.
365
00:15:56,408 --> 00:15:58,638
Okay, I'm all yours.
366
00:15:59,111 --> 00:16:02,979
What did I do that
was so extraordinary?
367
00:16:03,048 --> 00:16:04,208
"Double it."
368
00:16:04,282 --> 00:16:06,079
'Cause I was told
you didn't have
a girlfriend.
369
00:16:06,151 --> 00:16:07,140
What?
370
00:16:07,219 --> 00:16:09,210
You told Jim Van Wagenen
to double it.
371
00:16:09,287 --> 00:16:12,586
Well, shit, Joanne,
I don't know what
you're talking about,
372
00:16:12,657 --> 00:16:15,023
and if I did,
it'd be classified,
373
00:16:15,293 --> 00:16:16,760
and I'd wonder
where you got
your information
374
00:16:16,828 --> 00:16:17,852
on the Subcommittee.
375
00:16:17,929 --> 00:16:19,226
Oh, what do you care, hon?
376
00:16:19,297 --> 00:16:23,028
It's a little matter
of national security
and I can't help but think...
377
00:16:23,101 --> 00:16:25,160
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
378
00:16:25,237 --> 00:16:26,829
Hold on.
I am sorry,
379
00:16:26,905 --> 00:16:28,930
but I was told
you didn't have
a girlfriend.
380
00:16:29,007 --> 00:16:30,440
I don't.
This isn't my girlfriend.
381
00:16:30,509 --> 00:16:33,000
It's the sixth
wealthiest woman in Texas.
382
00:16:33,078 --> 00:16:34,841
Which is still pretty good.
383
00:16:34,913 --> 00:16:36,141
Okay, so, hi.
384
00:16:36,214 --> 00:16:38,808
A friend of mine has
made a terrific movie
about the need
385
00:16:38,884 --> 00:16:41,011
for American aid
to Afghanistan.
386
00:16:41,086 --> 00:16:42,644
He's made a movie?
Yes.
387
00:16:42,721 --> 00:16:46,555
I'm gonna run this movie
Friday night at my house
at a fundraiser.
388
00:16:46,625 --> 00:16:48,855
You know, you've never
been to my house, Charlie.
389
00:16:48,927 --> 00:16:51,862
You want me to come
to Houston and see
a movie?
390
00:16:51,930 --> 00:16:55,093
There'll be women
and wealthy donors.
See you Friday.
391
00:16:55,167 --> 00:16:56,532
Yes, ma'am.
392
00:17:02,908 --> 00:17:03,932
Hey.
393
00:17:04,009 --> 00:17:04,998
Mmm-mmm.
394
00:17:05,077 --> 00:17:06,135
Hey.
Mmm-mmm.
395
00:17:12,684 --> 00:17:13,742
Thank you, Joanne.
396
00:17:15,353 --> 00:17:18,845
Okay. I know it was difficult
for you to come in here,
hat in hand.
397
00:17:18,924 --> 00:17:22,917
That's not the kind
of upbringing, I guess,
is the word I'm looking for.
398
00:17:22,994 --> 00:17:25,758
It's not the kind of man
you are. I understand that.
399
00:17:25,831 --> 00:17:29,028
I'm not looking to humiliate
you or exact a price
in any way,
400
00:17:29,101 --> 00:17:31,001
so why don't you
just apologize?
401
00:17:31,069 --> 00:17:33,560
We'll call it water under
the dam, and we'll go
about our business.
402
00:17:33,638 --> 00:17:35,629
Excuse me,
what the fuck?
403
00:17:36,575 --> 00:17:38,566
What?
What the fuck
are you talking about?
404
00:17:38,643 --> 00:17:40,611
Clair George said you
were coming in here
to apologize.
405
00:17:40,679 --> 00:17:43,204
No, I'm supposed to come
in here so you could
apologize to me.
406
00:17:43,281 --> 00:17:45,044
According to whom?
Clair George.
407
00:17:45,117 --> 00:17:48,086
You told me to go fuck myself.
I'm supposed to apologize
to you?
408
00:17:48,153 --> 00:17:51,247
Also, water goes over
a dam and under a bridge,
you poncy schoolboy.
409
00:17:51,323 --> 00:17:54,622
Clearly there's been
a miscommunication between
Clair George and somebody.
410
00:17:54,693 --> 00:17:55,887
Excuse me.
Yes?
411
00:17:55,961 --> 00:17:57,223
Does this look all right?
It's fine.
412
00:17:57,295 --> 00:17:58,387
Thank you.
I can sand it
down a little.
413
00:17:58,463 --> 00:18:00,658
I, I don't know.
I have no fucking idea
who this guy is.
414
00:18:00,732 --> 00:18:03,462
He is here to fix the glass
that you broke the last time
you were here.
415
00:18:03,535 --> 00:18:06,026
Could you just excuse us
for a second there?
Yes.
416
00:18:06,104 --> 00:18:07,128
You tell me to go
fuck myself
417
00:18:07,205 --> 00:18:08,763
and I'm supposed
to apologize?
You break my window,
418
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,740
I'm supposed to apologize?
The Helsinki job was mine!
419
00:18:10,809 --> 00:18:13,437
The Helsinki job was not
yours. If it was yours,
you'd be in Helsinki.
420
00:18:13,512 --> 00:18:14,945
Alan Wolfe stood
in this office!
Alan Wolfe
421
00:18:15,013 --> 00:18:16,537
is no longer the Director.
Yeah, it was on the books!
422
00:18:16,615 --> 00:18:19,413
Alan Wolfe is no
longer the Director
of European Operations.
423
00:18:19,484 --> 00:18:20,849
He does not make
those appointments. I do.
424
00:18:20,919 --> 00:18:22,614
Promises were made.
Not by me.
425
00:18:22,687 --> 00:18:24,985
I've been with
the company for 24 years.
426
00:18:25,056 --> 00:18:26,990
I was posted
in Greece for 15.
427
00:18:27,058 --> 00:18:30,824
Papandreou wins that election
if I don't help the junta
take him prisoner.
428
00:18:30,896 --> 00:18:32,796
I've advised and armed
the Hellenic army.
429
00:18:32,864 --> 00:18:34,798
I've neutralized
champions of Communism.
430
00:18:34,866 --> 00:18:38,165
I've spent the past
three years learning
Finnish!
431
00:18:38,236 --> 00:18:40,204
Which should come in handy
here in Virginia!
432
00:18:40,272 --> 00:18:42,240
And I'm never,
ever, sick at sea.
433
00:18:42,307 --> 00:18:45,708
So I want to know
why I'm not gonna be
your Helsinki station chief.
434
00:18:45,777 --> 00:18:47,574
You're coarse.
Excuse me?
435
00:18:47,679 --> 00:18:50,239
For Helsinki, I need someone
with diplomatic skills.
436
00:18:50,315 --> 00:18:51,543
You don't have them.
Is that right?
437
00:18:51,616 --> 00:18:53,641
That is right. And I
don't know why the hell
I didn't fire you
438
00:18:53,718 --> 00:18:54,810
when you broke
my fucking window!
439
00:18:54,886 --> 00:18:56,751
Oh, yes, sure
you do, Cravely.
440
00:18:56,821 --> 00:18:58,880
Look, Gust...
Yeah, you're fucking
Roger's fiancee
441
00:18:58,957 --> 00:19:00,254
and you know I know.
442
00:19:01,826 --> 00:19:04,056
I'm not... I'm not even
gonna dignify that with
a response.
443
00:19:04,129 --> 00:19:06,063
Yeah, yeah, you're
dignifying her in the ass
444
00:19:06,131 --> 00:19:08,065
at the Jefferson Hotel,
room 1210.
445
00:19:08,133 --> 00:19:11,034
But let me ask you.
The 3,000 agents
Turner fired
446
00:19:11,102 --> 00:19:13,297
was that because they lacked
diplomatic skills as well?
447
00:19:13,371 --> 00:19:15,236
You're referring
to Admiral Stansfield Turner?
448
00:19:15,307 --> 00:19:16,365
Yeah, the 3,000 agents.
449
00:19:16,441 --> 00:19:19,376
Each and every goddamn one
of them first or second
generation Americans.
450
00:19:19,444 --> 00:19:21,935
Is that because they lack
the proper diplomatic skills?
451
00:19:22,013 --> 00:19:24,481
Or did Turner not
think it was a good idea
to have spies
452
00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:27,882
who could speak the
same language as the people
they're fucking spying on?
453
00:19:27,953 --> 00:19:30,478
Well, I'm sorry,
but you can hardly
blame the Director
454
00:19:30,555 --> 00:19:33,547
for questioning the loyalty
to America of people that
are just barely Americans
455
00:19:33,625 --> 00:19:35,616
in the first place.
Yeah, well, I'd like
to take a moment
456
00:19:35,694 --> 00:19:37,286
to review the several ways
in which you're a douchebag.
457
00:19:37,362 --> 00:19:39,421
Get the fuck
out of my office!
Yes, sir.
458
00:19:39,497 --> 00:19:40,794
Before I end
your career, asshole.
459
00:19:40,865 --> 00:19:41,889
Yes, sir!
460
00:19:41,967 --> 00:19:45,095
Yeah, my friend,
I'm gonna need
you for a second.
461
00:19:45,670 --> 00:19:46,659
(WOMAN SCREAMS)
462
00:19:47,005 --> 00:19:48,370
God damn it!
463
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,205
My loyalty?
464
00:19:51,076 --> 00:19:53,704
For 24 years,
people have been
trying to kill me.
465
00:19:53,778 --> 00:19:55,143
People who know how.
466
00:19:55,213 --> 00:19:58,205
Now, do you think that's
because my dad was
a Greek soda pop maker
467
00:19:58,283 --> 00:20:00,683
or do you think that's
because I'm an American spy?
468
00:20:00,752 --> 00:20:03,277
Go fuck yourself,
you fucking child.
469
00:20:09,461 --> 00:20:10,826
How was I?
470
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:12,922
Thank you.
471
00:20:13,898 --> 00:20:17,425
There's a woman in
Aliquippa, Pennsylvania,
named Nitsa.
472
00:20:18,136 --> 00:20:19,694
And she thinks
she's a witch.
473
00:20:19,771 --> 00:20:22,171
Yeah, she offered
to put a curse on
Cravely for me.
474
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,332
Yeah?
475
00:20:23,508 --> 00:20:24,736
And she...
476
00:20:25,310 --> 00:20:29,144
She asked me do I want
a professional curse
or a health curse.
477
00:20:29,614 --> 00:20:31,309
"If it's a health curse,
I can do it right away,
478
00:20:31,383 --> 00:20:34,079
"but a professional curse
takes longer."
479
00:20:34,152 --> 00:20:37,212
Well, I'm living proof
she's right about that.
480
00:20:37,889 --> 00:20:39,584
Did you get the brownie?
Oh, no, sir, I didn't.
481
00:20:39,658 --> 00:20:40,989
I got you.
482
00:20:43,061 --> 00:20:46,258
I'm reading transcripts
of phone conversations
483
00:20:46,331 --> 00:20:48,026
between French
and German generals
484
00:20:48,099 --> 00:20:51,466
arguing over office space
at NATO headquarters
485
00:20:51,536 --> 00:20:55,267
and analyzing wiretaps
out of Mercury Bay,
New Zealand.
486
00:20:55,340 --> 00:20:58,969
You know,
historically, a hotbed
of anti-American activity.
487
00:20:59,678 --> 00:21:02,841
Yeah, nobody will come
near me. I'm in the weeds.
488
00:21:03,882 --> 00:21:06,282
You know,
a typical case officer
489
00:21:06,651 --> 00:21:11,350
doesn't walk into his
boss's office and tell him
to go fuck himself. Twice.
490
00:21:11,423 --> 00:21:14,085
I just told you,
I paid a witch in
Pennsylvania $80
491
00:21:14,159 --> 00:21:16,855
to put a curse
on Henry Cravely for me.
492
00:21:17,462 --> 00:21:19,623
Do I sound like
a typical case officer?
No.
493
00:21:19,698 --> 00:21:22,428
Well, then,
let's assume I'm not.
494
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:24,661
Listen. If you're really
not doing anything,
495
00:21:24,736 --> 00:21:26,328
why don't you come upstairs
and work with us?
496
00:21:26,404 --> 00:21:27,530
What are you doing?
497
00:21:27,605 --> 00:21:29,038
Killing Russians.
498
00:21:30,408 --> 00:21:34,640
Our next slave girl
is a Texas rose named
Ashley Rensler.

00:21:39,584 --> 00:21:42,644
from Delta Delta Delta
will wash your car
or truck
502
00:21:42,721 --> 00:21:45,815
in special outfits
they have chosen
for the occasion.
503
00:21:45,890 --> 00:21:50,384
So, who wants their wheels
cleaned clean as a whistle
by a 19-year-old lawyer
504
00:21:50,462 --> 00:21:52,623
and her three friends
from Tri-Delt?
505
00:21:52,697 --> 00:21:53,686
(CROWD CHEERING)
506
00:21:53,765 --> 00:21:56,598
I have 10,000,
who'll give me 11?
11, 11, I got 11.
507
00:21:56,668 --> 00:21:58,568
I got 15 right here.
Thank you very much.
508
00:21:58,636 --> 00:22:00,900
Oh, my God,
she is a Minute Woman.
509
00:22:00,972 --> 00:22:02,769
No, she's a Tri-Delt.
510
00:22:03,708 --> 00:22:05,573
No, she is a
Minute Woman, Charlie.
511
00:22:05,643 --> 00:22:06,905
Oh. Joanne.
512
00:22:06,978 --> 00:22:10,812
Yeah, she's
a direct descendant of
George Washington's sister.
513
00:22:10,982 --> 00:22:13,678
Says she had a great uncle
who was killed at the Alamo.
514
00:22:13,752 --> 00:22:16,846
Former Miss Cotton Bowl.
Had her own local
television talk show.
515
00:22:16,921 --> 00:22:20,118
Look. Pakistan's
Honorary Consul
to Houston, Texas.
516
00:22:20,191 --> 00:22:21,590
How's that
for a title, huh?
517
00:22:21,659 --> 00:22:24,822
This is
an ultra-right wing group
of anti-Communist fanatics.
518
00:22:24,896 --> 00:22:26,363
They're not
ultra-right wing.
519
00:22:26,431 --> 00:22:28,194
What are they?
520
00:22:28,266 --> 00:22:30,029
Well, they're
ultra-right wing.
521
00:22:30,101 --> 00:22:32,501
What are you doing
hanging around
this woman?
522
00:22:32,570 --> 00:22:36,233
Did you hear me say
she was a former
Miss Cotton Bowl?
523
00:22:36,307 --> 00:22:37,501
You are unbelievable.
524
00:22:37,575 --> 00:22:38,735
Oh, come on.
You're gonna love her.
525
00:22:38,810 --> 00:22:40,744
And, you know, one of
the things she's trying
to do over there
526
00:22:40,812 --> 00:22:42,336
is liberate the women.
527
00:22:42,414 --> 00:22:45,247
And what better
way than through
a slave girl auction?
528
00:22:45,316 --> 00:22:46,544
JOANNE: Charlie.
529
00:22:49,254 --> 00:22:51,654
So sorry for keeping
you waiting.
530
00:22:51,723 --> 00:22:53,850
Oh, it's no problem,
Joanne.
531
00:22:54,426 --> 00:22:55,415
This is Bonnie Bach.
532
00:22:55,493 --> 00:22:57,290
So nice to meet you.
533
00:23:00,498 --> 00:23:04,764
It's a pleasure meeting you,
Mrs. Herring. This is
a wonderful party.
534
00:23:06,037 --> 00:23:08,597
Why don't you
give us a few moments?
535
00:23:09,707 --> 00:23:11,004
Yes, sir.
536
00:23:11,643 --> 00:23:16,376
Oh, Bobbie, if you could
ask someone for a Bombay
martini up, very dry?
537
00:23:16,448 --> 00:23:18,541
Oh, I'm not
a slave girl,
actually.
538
00:23:18,616 --> 00:23:20,777
I'm the Congressman's
administrative assistant.
539
00:23:20,852 --> 00:23:22,183
Isn't that wonderful
for you.
540
00:23:22,253 --> 00:23:23,481
Yes.
541
00:23:23,555 --> 00:23:26,422
Two olives, please.
Tell them it's for me,
they'll know.
542
00:23:26,491 --> 00:23:27,822
Certainly.
543
00:23:29,828 --> 00:23:31,420
She doesn't like me.
544
00:23:31,496 --> 00:23:32,588
Everybody likes you.
545
00:23:32,664 --> 00:23:34,097
She's a liberal.
546
00:23:34,165 --> 00:23:35,928
Well, I'm a liberal.
547
00:23:36,401 --> 00:23:38,164
Not where it counts.
548
00:23:38,703 --> 00:23:40,000
Have you seen the house?
549
00:23:40,071 --> 00:23:43,165
Well, I've seen
the downstairs,
what's upstairs?
550
00:23:43,241 --> 00:23:44,572
Fourteen bedrooms.
551
00:23:44,642 --> 00:23:46,075
I should have a look.
552
00:23:46,144 --> 00:23:47,168
What did you think
of the movie?
553
00:23:47,245 --> 00:23:48,940
What, that thing
we just saw?
554
00:23:49,013 --> 00:23:51,072
The reason
for the party, yes.
555
00:23:51,149 --> 00:23:53,913
Well, I'm not an expert
in the field or anything,
556
00:23:53,985 --> 00:23:56,818
but the production quality
seemed amateurish to me.
557
00:23:56,888 --> 00:23:58,378
Yeah, I'm not
submitting the thing
558
00:23:58,456 --> 00:24:00,686
for a Golden Globe
nomination, Charlie.
559
00:24:00,758 --> 00:24:03,022
You know what
I'm talking about.
560
00:24:03,094 --> 00:24:05,722
Well, as a member
of the Defense Subcommittee,
561
00:24:05,797 --> 00:24:07,128
did you think
I wasn't aware
562
00:24:07,198 --> 00:24:09,393
that the Soviet Union's
invaded Afghanistan?
563
00:24:09,467 --> 00:24:11,401
Yes, I believe
my government is aware,
564
00:24:11,469 --> 00:24:13,960
but I was wondering
if they were thinking
of doing anything about it
565
00:24:14,038 --> 00:24:17,235
other than boycotting
the Olympics, which
I think you'll agree,
566
00:24:17,308 --> 00:24:18,866
was a fairly
impotent response
567
00:24:18,943 --> 00:24:21,138
to the greatest
national security
threat we've faced
568
00:24:21,212 --> 00:24:22,611
since the
Cuban Missile Crisis.
569
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,843
Well, I don't think making
more movies about it
is gonna do the trick,
570
00:24:25,917 --> 00:24:27,509
if that's what
you're asking.
571
00:24:27,585 --> 00:24:28,847
It's not.
572
00:24:30,054 --> 00:24:32,852
Exactly how much power
do you have as a member
of the Subcommittee?
573
00:24:32,924 --> 00:24:34,414
Which one? I'm on two.
574
00:24:34,492 --> 00:24:35,618
Foreign Ops.
575
00:24:35,693 --> 00:24:38,821
Eight members and myself
hand out 11 billion
in foreign assistance.
576
00:24:38,897 --> 00:24:41,229
And what about
the Defense Subcommittee?
577
00:24:41,299 --> 00:24:42,288
Our budget is hidden.
578
00:24:42,367 --> 00:24:43,732
It is also unlimited.
579
00:24:43,801 --> 00:24:45,268
Yeah.
580
00:24:46,671 --> 00:24:48,901
Would you like
to see my room?
581
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,132
Yeah.
582
00:24:50,208 --> 00:24:51,232
(WHIMPERING)
583
00:24:51,309 --> 00:24:55,268
So, unless I'm wrong,
and that would be
unusual for me,
584
00:24:56,214 --> 00:24:58,239
you sit at the intersection
of the State Department,
585
00:24:58,316 --> 00:25:00,284
the Pentagon and the CIA.
586
00:25:00,752 --> 00:25:03,744
You meet in a soundproof room
underneath the Capitol,
587
00:25:03,821 --> 00:25:07,154
and you preside over
a secret and unlimited
budget
588
00:25:07,225 --> 00:25:10,854
for the three agencies
you would need to conduct
a covert war.
589
00:25:10,929 --> 00:25:12,556
Isn't that right?
590
00:25:12,630 --> 00:25:14,860
I also have seats
at the Kennedy Center.
591
00:25:14,933 --> 00:25:18,300
Isn't that how you were able
to double the CIA budget
for black approps
592
00:25:18,369 --> 00:25:20,803
in Afghanistan
just by saying so?
593
00:25:20,872 --> 00:25:24,501
Why are you only asking me
questions you already
know the answers to?
594
00:25:24,576 --> 00:25:27,443
Why is Congress
saying one thing
and doing nothing?
595
00:25:27,512 --> 00:25:29,412
Well, tradition mostly.
596
00:25:35,787 --> 00:25:37,118
Come here.
597
00:25:37,722 --> 00:25:38,814
Okay.
598
00:25:47,832 --> 00:25:52,030
I do not understand
the energy women
have after sex.
599
00:25:52,103 --> 00:25:54,936
You're dancing around,
you're baking a pie.
600
00:25:55,006 --> 00:25:56,906
JOANNE: Charlie?
Yes, ma'am?
601
00:25:56,975 --> 00:26:00,103
Why is the CIA running
a fake war in Afghanistan?
602
00:26:00,178 --> 00:26:02,169
They're doing
everything they can.
603
00:26:02,246 --> 00:26:04,111
They're doing it badly.
604
00:26:04,315 --> 00:26:06,715
The CIA is arming
the mujahideen.
605
00:26:06,784 --> 00:26:07,978
Where do you think
they're getting
their weapons?
606
00:26:08,052 --> 00:26:11,385
They're arming them
with 12.7 millimeter
Dishukas
607
00:26:11,456 --> 00:26:13,083
which would be good,
608
00:26:13,157 --> 00:26:16,320
except the Soviets have
specifically armor-plated
their Hind helicopter
609
00:26:16,394 --> 00:26:19,295
to resist
a 12.7 millimeter shell.
610
00:26:19,664 --> 00:26:21,564
We sold Pakistan F-16s,
611
00:26:21,633 --> 00:26:25,330
but didn't give them
the look-downlshoot-down
radar.
612
00:26:25,403 --> 00:26:26,461
If this were a real war,
613
00:26:26,537 --> 00:26:28,937
State would issue
a white paper outlining
the Communist threat
614
00:26:29,007 --> 00:26:31,202
the way they did
in El Salvador.
615
00:26:31,275 --> 00:26:35,109
If this were a real war,
there'd be a National
Bipartisan Commission
616
00:26:35,179 --> 00:26:39,809
on Afghanistan, headed
by Henry Kissinger the way
they did in Central America.
617
00:26:39,884 --> 00:26:44,082
If this were a real war,
Congress would authorize
$24 million
618
00:26:44,155 --> 00:26:47,420
for covert operations
the way you did in Nicaragua.
619
00:26:47,792 --> 00:26:49,817
If this were a real war...
620
00:26:50,094 --> 00:26:52,927
You may be
the sexiest woman ever.
621
00:26:52,997 --> 00:26:55,363
I'm not kidding.
You are Helen of Troy.
622
00:26:55,433 --> 00:26:56,695
Are you patronizing me?
623
00:26:56,768 --> 00:26:59,168
What do you want me
to do, Joanne?
624
00:26:59,337 --> 00:27:01,328
This is what
I want you to do.
625
00:27:01,406 --> 00:27:04,534
I want you to save Afghanistan
for the Afghans.
626
00:27:04,942 --> 00:27:07,001
I want you to deliver
such a crushing defeat
627
00:27:07,078 --> 00:27:08,807
to the Soviets
that Communism crumbles,
628
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,246
and in so doing,
end the Cold War.
629
00:27:11,315 --> 00:27:12,407
I'll tell you,
I'd do it, too,
630
00:27:12,483 --> 00:27:14,974
but I got this
Dairy Queen problem
in Nacogdoches.
631
00:27:15,053 --> 00:27:19,046
Don't underestimate me,
Charlie. Believe everything
you've heard.
632
00:27:19,824 --> 00:27:21,553
What exactly
do you want me to do?
633
00:27:21,626 --> 00:27:23,059
Go to Pakistan
and meet with Zia.
634
00:27:23,127 --> 00:27:24,321
CHARLIE: Zia?
635
00:27:24,796 --> 00:27:26,559
Mohammed Zia ul-Haq.
636
00:27:26,998 --> 00:27:28,659
He's the President
of Pakistan.
637
00:27:28,733 --> 00:27:30,257
I've already arranged it.
638
00:27:30,334 --> 00:27:33,269
You've arranged a meeting
between me and the
President of Pakistan?
639
00:27:33,337 --> 00:27:34,326
Yes.
640
00:27:34,405 --> 00:27:35,565
You're going
to Israel next week
641
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,471
to meet with Zvi Rafiah
about the Lavi jets.
642
00:27:37,542 --> 00:27:40,477
I want you to tack Pakistan
on the end of your trip.
643
00:27:40,545 --> 00:27:41,739
And meet
with the President?
644
00:27:41,813 --> 00:27:44,976
Let him convince you
that it's a Christian
imperative
645
00:27:45,049 --> 00:27:48,246
to let the Afghans
rid their country
of Communism.
646
00:27:49,020 --> 00:27:52,854
Okay. It's not likely
the President of Pakistan
is a Christian,
647
00:27:52,924 --> 00:27:55,586
but I'm gonna do this
for you, Joanne,
648
00:27:55,660 --> 00:27:58,390
'cause you saved my ass
once with the pro-lifers
649
00:27:58,463 --> 00:28:02,695
and I owe you my seat
in Congress and because
you look very good naked.
650
00:28:02,767 --> 00:28:06,794
But I have to tell you,
I'm elected by Jews.
651
00:28:06,871 --> 00:28:09,339
How many Jews do you have
in your district?
652
00:28:09,407 --> 00:28:10,431
Seven.
653
00:28:10,508 --> 00:28:12,567
But congressmen aren't
elected by voters,
654
00:28:12,643 --> 00:28:14,008
they're elected
by contributors,
655
00:28:14,078 --> 00:28:17,070
and mine are in,
well, New York,
Florida, Hollywood,
656
00:28:17,148 --> 00:28:19,639
because I'm one
of Israel's guys
on the Hill.
657
00:28:19,717 --> 00:28:20,945
And I don't know
how they're gonna feel
658
00:28:21,018 --> 00:28:23,486
about me taking up
the cause of Muslims.
659
00:28:23,554 --> 00:28:24,885
Well, that's
your problem.
660
00:28:24,956 --> 00:28:26,253
Yes, it is.
661
00:28:26,958 --> 00:28:28,482
Go fight this war
and win it, Charlie.
662
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:31,995
Everything possible is
on the line, including
your manhood.
663
00:28:32,063 --> 00:28:34,861
Oh, I was afraid you
were gonna say that.
664
00:28:35,099 --> 00:28:36,088
(WATER RUSHING)
665
00:28:37,502 --> 00:28:40,027
Well, I guess it ain't
gonna be twice tonight.
666
00:28:40,104 --> 00:28:42,629
Well, I guess
somebody can't count.
667
00:28:42,707 --> 00:28:45,232
Oh, darling,
I was talking about me.

been wondering is
715
00:31:39,917 --> 00:31:43,080
why your State Department
would send someone here
716
00:31:43,154 --> 00:31:45,384
who thinks
he understands
the problem.
717
00:31:45,456 --> 00:31:48,948
'Cause I don't think
the prayers of the Texas
Second Congressional District
718
00:31:49,026 --> 00:31:50,357
are going to turn
the trick.
719
00:31:50,428 --> 00:31:53,454
Well, now, I wasn't sent here
by the State Department,
Mr. President.
720
00:31:53,531 --> 00:31:55,522
I was asked to come here
by our friend in Houston.
721
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:57,794
So this is
a courtesy call.
722
00:31:57,868 --> 00:32:01,736
I don't need courtesy.
I need airplanes,
guns and money.
723
00:32:01,806 --> 00:32:06,505
Well, we just doubled
the CIA budget
for covert ops...
724
00:32:06,577 --> 00:32:08,010
From 5 million
to 10 million.
725
00:32:08,079 --> 00:32:10,070
That's right.
Is that a joke?
726
00:32:11,415 --> 00:32:13,508
No.
Is that meant
to be a funny joke?
727
00:32:13,584 --> 00:32:14,573
No, sir.
728
00:32:14,652 --> 00:32:16,449
ZIA: Congressman,
what they're saying is
729
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,183
$10 million from the U.S.
To fight the Russian Army
730
00:32:20,658 --> 00:32:23,889
is such a low figure
that it can be mistaken
for a joke.
731
00:32:23,961 --> 00:32:27,692
I caught up to the
sarcasm there, sir.
Let me be clear.
732
00:32:28,699 --> 00:32:30,860
The United States is
eager to assist you.
733
00:32:30,935 --> 00:32:31,993
No, you're not.
You're not.
734
00:32:32,069 --> 00:32:33,764
Absolutely not.
I went to Oxford
735
00:32:33,838 --> 00:32:35,135
and I know what
that word means.
736
00:32:35,206 --> 00:32:37,436
The U.S. Is not eager
to assist us.
737
00:32:37,508 --> 00:32:40,375
Well, now it's
my understanding that we
offered to sell you F-16s.
738
00:32:40,444 --> 00:32:41,433
You didn't want them.
739
00:32:41,512 --> 00:32:43,173
Because you refused
to sell us the radar.
740
00:32:43,247 --> 00:32:44,509
RASHID: So to hell with that.
741
00:32:44,582 --> 00:32:47,915

of American fence sitting
742
00:32:47,985 --> 00:32:49,475
when it comes
to fighting the Soviets.
743
00:32:49,553 --> 00:32:52,488
To hell with it!
You sell us the planes
but not the radar.
744
00:32:52,556 --> 00:32:55,719
You offer Afghans rifles
from the First World War
745
00:32:56,127 --> 00:32:59,426
while Soviet helicopters
are killing everything
they can find,

food supplies.
So to hell with it!

Yeah.
You sell
the Israelis the radar,
748
00:33:04,535 --> 00:33:06,526
so that's why he says,
"To hell with it."
749
00:33:06,604 --> 00:33:08,731
Again, I understood. Yeah.
750
00:33:08,939 --> 00:33:12,375
Also, the arms and funding
should flow through us.

00:33:14,445 --> 00:33:15,469

752
00:33:15,546 --> 00:33:17,275
That's been part
of the problem.
753
00:33:17,348 --> 00:33:19,873

should flow through us.

with warfare of this kind.

00:40:01,485 --> 00:40:03,646
the Afghan intel service
and the ministries.
839
00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:05,153
Which ministries?
840
00:40:05,222 --> 00:40:06,621
All of them.
841
00:40:06,957 --> 00:40:11,223
Anyway, the fourth armored
covers Bagram Airbase.
842
00:40:11,295 --> 00:40:12,523
Seventh Armored is...
843
00:40:12,596 --> 00:40:15,394
Why ain't they shooting down
them helicopters?
844
00:40:15,466 --> 00:40:16,694
I'm sorry?
845
00:40:16,767 --> 00:40:18,394
The helicopters, Harold.
846
00:40:18,469 --> 00:40:21,905
Why ain't we giving them
something to shoot down
them helicopters?
847
00:40:21,972 --> 00:40:25,464
The helicopters
are a problem.
848
00:40:27,377 --> 00:40:28,708
You think?
849
00:40:29,513 --> 00:40:31,845
Congressman...
They're shooting
at Soviet gunships
850
00:40:31,915 --> 00:40:35,612
with Enfield rifles.
That's basically what
Davy Crockett used.
851
00:40:35,686 --> 00:40:38,519
The Soviet Hind gunship
is especially armor plated
to resist bullets.
852
00:40:38,589 --> 00:40:42,548
Yeah, I know, I know.
So you tell me what you
need to shoot them down.
853
00:40:42,626 --> 00:40:43,615
What do you mean?
854
00:40:43,694 --> 00:40:45,423
Tell me what you need.
855
00:40:46,663 --> 00:40:47,755
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
856
00:40:47,831 --> 00:40:51,699
You tell me what you need,
and I will go about
getting it for you.
857
00:40:51,768 --> 00:40:54,100
Congressman, I appreciate
your generosity,
858
00:40:54,171 --> 00:40:59,040
but a sudden influx of money
and modern weaponry
would draw attention.
859
00:40:59,943 --> 00:41:02,468
What?
A sudden influx
of money and modern...
860
00:41:02,546 --> 00:41:04,571
Wait, it would
draw attention?
861
00:41:04,648 --> 00:41:05,672
Yeah.
862
00:41:06,617 --> 00:41:09,211
Why, I don't even know
what that means.
863
00:41:09,286 --> 00:41:11,049
This is the Cold War.
Everybody knows about it.
864
00:41:11,121 --> 00:41:12,179
Should I continue
with the briefing?
865
00:41:12,256 --> 00:41:16,352
Have you been to these
refugee camps? Have you
heard these stories?
866
00:41:16,426 --> 00:41:19,623
Congressman, I am required
to give you a briefing.
867
00:41:19,997 --> 00:41:21,658
Should I continue?
868
00:41:21,965 --> 00:41:23,455
No. Thank you.
869
00:41:35,078 --> 00:41:36,875
(SIGHING)
870
00:41:37,147 --> 00:41:42,175
You know, I had a neighbor,
growing up, with a name
right out of Dickens.
871
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,481
Mr. Charles Hazard.
872
00:41:46,857 --> 00:41:50,020
And Mr. Hazard didn't like
the neighborhood dogs
873
00:41:50,093 --> 00:41:52,186
messing up his flower beds.
874
00:41:52,729 --> 00:41:54,594
One day, I heard
a bunch of yelling
from across the street,
875
00:41:54,665 --> 00:41:56,098
so I ran on over
to Mr. Hazard's,
876
00:41:56,166 --> 00:41:59,932
and there were about
15 grown-ups standing
around my dog, Teddy,
877
00:42:00,003 --> 00:42:03,905
who was writhing
on the ground
in obvious agony.
878
00:42:04,441 --> 00:42:06,306
Blood was pouring
out of his mouth.
879
00:42:06,376 --> 00:42:08,708
Mr. Hazard had
ground up a glass bottle
880
00:42:08,779 --> 00:42:12,044
and put it in a bowl
of dog food and
fed it to him.
881
00:42:13,750 --> 00:42:15,342
What did you do?
882
00:42:15,886 --> 00:42:18,980
Well, I got some gasoline
and burned down
his flower beds.
883
00:42:19,056 --> 00:42:21,490
But that wasn't
satisfying enough.
884
00:42:22,626 --> 00:42:26,255
And then I remembered,
Mr. Hazard was
an elected official.
885
00:42:26,330 --> 00:42:28,662
He was the head
of the town council.
886
00:42:28,732 --> 00:42:31,633
His reelection every two years
was a foregone conclusion.
887
00:42:31,702 --> 00:42:36,139
So come Election Day,
I drove over to
the black section of town.
888
00:42:36,206 --> 00:42:39,505
Now, these people
hadn't voted in any of
these elections, so...
889
00:42:39,576 --> 00:42:42,477
I was only 13,
but I had a farmer's license
890
00:42:44,014 --> 00:42:45,504
and I filled up my car
with black voters
891
00:42:45,582 --> 00:42:46,844
and drove them
to the polling place
892
00:42:46,917 --> 00:42:48,248
and then waited,
then drove them on home.
893
00:42:48,318 --> 00:42:51,253
But before they got out
of the car to vote
894
00:42:51,321 --> 00:42:56,452
I said, "I don't
mean to influence you,
but I think you should know
895
00:42:56,526 --> 00:43:00,121
"Mr. Charles Hazard
has intentionally
killed my dog."
896
00:43:02,532 --> 00:43:05,228
About 400 ballots were
cast in that election.
897
00:43:05,302 --> 00:43:07,896
I drove 96 of them
to the polls.
898
00:43:09,006 --> 00:43:11,099
Hazard lost by 16 votes.
899
00:43:14,678 --> 00:43:18,170
And that's the day
I fell in love
with America.
900
00:43:21,718 --> 00:43:23,515
What time do we land?
901
00:43:24,154 --> 00:43:26,179
7:30 a.m. In D.C.
902
00:43:26,890 --> 00:43:29,484
I want the CIA
in my office
at 10:00.
903
00:43:30,293 --> 00:43:32,818
Assistant Deputy Director
or higher.
904
00:43:33,230 --> 00:43:35,892
Tell them that if
I don't see someone
at 10:00,
905
00:43:35,966 --> 00:43:40,903
I'm gonna start docking
their allowance at a rate
of $1 million a minute.
906
00:43:41,104 --> 00:43:42,366
Yes, sir.
907
00:43:42,706 --> 00:43:44,139
And get me another
one of them, would you?
908
00:43:44,207 --> 00:43:45,196
(CLEARING THROAT)
909
00:43:46,176 --> 00:43:47,438
Yes, sir.
910
00:43:50,247 --> 00:43:52,215
AGENT PATRICK: The AKs,
RPG-7 grenade launchers
911
00:43:52,282 --> 00:43:55,342
and 82 millimeter mortars
are coming into Pakistan
by air and sea,
912
00:43:55,585 --> 00:43:57,246
and then trucks take them
to the Afghan border.
913
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,220
AGENT WELLS: Then we take them
across on mules,
914
00:43:59,289 --> 00:44:00,916
which are running
a little more than
we thought.
915
00:44:00,991 --> 00:44:02,686
The mules?
They're 2,400 a piece,
916
00:44:02,759 --> 00:44:04,727
plus we got to get them
checked out.
For what?
917
00:44:04,795 --> 00:44:08,060
Diseases. Foot and mouth.
Plus they have to have
their ears cleaned.
918
00:44:08,131 --> 00:44:10,497
The mules are getting
better health care
than the Afghans.
919
00:44:10,567 --> 00:44:13,866
AGENT WELLS: Plus, they're
gonna cost a little extra
if we want them pre-trained.
920
00:44:13,937 --> 00:44:15,461
To do what?
Walk over a mountain
921
00:44:15,539 --> 00:44:16,665
with ammunition
on their back.
922
00:44:16,740 --> 00:44:18,071
Aren't they born
with that instinct?
923
00:44:18,141 --> 00:44:20,837
I mean, isn't that
something they want
to do naturally?
924
00:44:20,911 --> 00:44:24,142
You think Afghanistan might,
one day, think about building
some fucking roads?
925
00:44:24,214 --> 00:44:25,977
Gust.
Yeah?
926
00:44:26,049 --> 00:44:28,017
I got something for you.
927
00:44:28,985 --> 00:44:30,384
I need you
to be specific...
928
00:44:30,454 --> 00:44:32,922
MARLA: The whole thing
has changed. Get your diary.
I'll show you.
929
00:44:32,989 --> 00:44:34,081
Okay.
930
00:44:35,325 --> 00:44:37,259
RECEPTIONIST: No problem.
Thank you.
931
00:44:38,795 --> 00:44:39,955
He should be here
any moment.
932
00:44:40,030 --> 00:44:42,692
Don't worry about me.
I'm fine.
933
00:44:44,201 --> 00:44:45,930
Good morning.
Good morning, Congressman.
934
00:44:46,002 --> 00:44:47,629
Welcome back.
Yeah. Marla.
935
00:44:47,704 --> 00:44:49,137
Welcome back.
Suzanne.
936
00:44:49,206 --> 00:44:50,673
Welcome back.
937
00:44:52,008 --> 00:44:53,032
Who are you?
938
00:44:53,110 --> 00:44:54,304
RECEPTIONIST:
This is Gust Avrakotos.
939
00:44:54,377 --> 00:44:56,140
He's come up from Langley
to bring you the information
940
00:44:56,213 --> 00:44:58,204
that you wanted.
Bonnie!
941
00:44:58,715 --> 00:44:59,704
Yes, sir?
942
00:44:59,783 --> 00:45:01,375
I said Assistant Deputy
Director or higher.
943
00:45:01,451 --> 00:45:03,351
I know, sir. I called...
No, Assistant Deputies
don't come
944
00:45:03,420 --> 00:45:04,512
to the Hill
without a subpoena.
945
00:45:04,588 --> 00:45:07,284
I'm the guy you want
to talk to, Congressman.
I'm on the Afghan desk.
946
00:45:07,357 --> 00:45:09,257
You're on
the Afghan desk?
Yeah.
947
00:45:09,326 --> 00:45:11,920
Well, I wouldn't be
too proud of that. I just
got back from there.
948
00:45:11,995 --> 00:45:14,327
Oh, I know.
And that's a hell
of a flight, too.
949
00:45:14,397 --> 00:45:16,228
That nine hours flying time
against the jet stream.
950
00:45:16,299 --> 00:45:18,426
Probably had to stop
in Brussels, plus the
time difference.
951
00:45:18,502 --> 00:45:19,833
I'd be a little grumpy
myself.
952
00:45:19,903 --> 00:45:21,495
I ain't grumpy
because of the plane.
953
00:45:22,639 --> 00:45:25,767
We want to give you this
'cause we know you
like single malt.
954
00:45:25,842 --> 00:45:27,309
It's called Talisker,
955
00:45:27,377 --> 00:45:29,368
and it's mentioned in a
Robert Louis Stevenson poem,
956
00:45:29,446 --> 00:45:31,277
The Scotsman's Return
from Abroad.
957
00:45:31,348 --> 00:45:33,213
"The king o' drinks,
as I conceive it,
958
00:45:33,283 --> 00:45:35,774
"Talisker, Isla
or Glenlivet!"
959
00:45:35,852 --> 00:45:38,343
Who are you again?
Gust Avrakotos.
960
00:45:39,723 --> 00:45:41,156
Have Bonnie come
into this meeting.
961
00:45:41,224 --> 00:45:42,782
MARLA: Yes, sir.
962
00:45:43,593 --> 00:45:45,220
What's the gift for?
963
00:45:45,295 --> 00:45:48,162
It's from the Afghan desk
for doubling the budget
for the mujahideen.
964
00:45:48,231 --> 00:45:50,961
Oh. Well, thank you.
965
00:45:51,601 --> 00:45:53,125
It was nothing.
966
00:45:53,403 --> 00:45:55,894
Well, it's a nice
bottle of Scotch.
967
00:45:56,706 --> 00:45:57,730
Must've been hard to get.
968
00:45:57,808 --> 00:45:59,571
No, doubling
the budget was nothing.
969
00:45:59,643 --> 00:46:02,669
I mean, $10 million
for covert ops against the
Russian Army is meaningless.
970
00:46:02,746 --> 00:46:05,237
What are you, an infant?
Now, you hang
on just one second.
971
00:46:05,315 --> 00:46:06,304
I don't remember your name.
972
00:46:06,383 --> 00:46:07,714
Gust Avrakotos.
973
00:46:07,784 --> 00:46:08,773
Gust Avrakotos.
974
00:46:08,852 --> 00:46:09,841
Yeah.
975
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,615
Okay, you mind
if I call you Gus?
976
00:46:11,688 --> 00:46:14,122
Yeah, well, my name's Gust
with a "t," but I don't care.
977
00:46:14,191 --> 00:46:19,629
Fifteen hours ago, I offered
Harold Holt the keys
to the safe, okay?
978
00:46:20,463 --> 00:46:24,695
I stood there in the office
in Islamabad, and I said,
"How much do you need?"
979
00:46:24,768 --> 00:46:26,292
And I was apparently
annoying him.
980
00:46:26,369 --> 00:46:29,133
Well, Harold Holt's
a massive tool, Congressman.
He's a cake-eater.
981
00:46:29,206 --> 00:46:30,901
He's a clown.
He's a bad station chief.
982
00:46:30,974 --> 00:46:34,034
And I don't mean to cast
aspersions on a guy, but
he's gonna get us all killed.
983
00:46:34,110 --> 00:46:35,270
Really?
Yeah.
984
00:46:35,345 --> 00:46:38,246
Well, how does he expect
to defeat the Soviets in
Afghanistan without...
985
00:46:38,315 --> 00:46:40,374
He said, "A sudden
influx of money..."
Yeah, an influx of money
986
00:46:40,450 --> 00:46:41,815
and new weaponry
would draw attention.
987
00:46:41,885 --> 00:46:44,353
He's not trying to defeat
the Soviets, Congressman.
988
00:46:44,421 --> 00:46:45,513
What the hell
are you talking about?
989
00:46:45,589 --> 00:46:46,578
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
990
00:46:47,557 --> 00:46:48,888
Excuse me.
991
00:46:50,026 --> 00:46:51,721
I'm the Congressman's
aide, Bonnie Bach.
992
00:46:51,795 --> 00:46:52,989
Gust Avrakotos.
993
00:46:53,063 --> 00:46:54,724
Gus, I need the room
for a second.
994
00:46:54,798 --> 00:46:56,493
Sure.
Jailbait!
995
00:47:00,237 --> 00:47:02,831
Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey.
Whoa, all right.
996
00:47:02,906 --> 00:47:04,100
Just tell me
what's happening.
997
00:47:04,174 --> 00:47:06,404
A Justice Department
task force that was
formed last year
998
00:47:06,476 --> 00:47:08,671
to investigate
reports of sex between
members of the House
999
00:47:08,745 --> 00:47:10,679
and their male interns
has recently widened
1000
00:47:10,747 --> 00:47:12,544
to include the use
of recreational drugs
1001
00:47:12,616 --> 00:47:14,550
by senators and congressmen.
1002
00:47:14,618 --> 00:47:15,880
Do you know a man
named Paul Brown?

have to answer that.

Oh, shit.

00:47:18,288 --> 00:47:22,019
Paul Brown, under
investigation by federal
prosecutors for fraud.
1006
00:47:22,759 --> 00:47:25,694
He wanted me to invest
in some TV show for Crystal.
1007
00:47:25,762 --> 00:47:28,128
Well, he's saying
he witnessed you
doing cocaine nine times
1008
00:47:28,198 --> 00:47:30,166
in a fantasy suite
in Las Vegas.
1009
00:47:30,233 --> 00:47:32,929
Brian Ross at NBC is
breaking the story.
1010
00:47:33,069 --> 00:47:37,028
All right, guys. I was
in Las Vegas with Crystal
and Paul Brown,
1011
00:47:37,107 --> 00:47:39,405
because she wanted me
to talk to him about
this thing.
1012
00:47:39,476 --> 00:47:41,137
There was cocaine?
1013
00:47:42,245 --> 00:47:44,304
I want you to go
in the other room
and start on a statement.
1014
00:47:44,381 --> 00:47:45,905
Let's get Stu on the phone.
Okay, I'll call him.
1015
00:47:45,982 --> 00:47:47,040
BONNIE: Okay, Bait,
you just need to start...
1016
00:47:47,117 --> 00:47:48,106
CHARLIE: It's all right,
everybody.
1017
00:47:48,184 --> 00:47:49,708
It's gonna be all right.
I want to get back to...
1018
00:47:49,786 --> 00:47:50,844
Gus!
1019
00:47:52,689 --> 00:47:53,747
You having problems?

00:47:54,991 --> 00:47:56,049
No.
1022
00:47:56,126 --> 00:47:58,720
What do you mean,
he's not trying to
defeat the Soviets?
1023
00:47:58,795 --> 00:48:01,423
Well, he wants to bleed them.
Payback for Vietnam.
1024
00:48:01,498 --> 00:48:03,022
Make it so they just have
to keep sending troops in,
1025
00:48:03,099 --> 00:48:04,396
keep sending money,
and troops, and money
1026
00:48:04,467 --> 00:48:06,367
until they just go out
of their fucking minds
the way we did.
1027
00:48:06,436 --> 00:48:09,098
You mean to tell me
that the U.S. Strategy
in Afghanistan
1028
00:48:09,172 --> 00:48:11,163
is to have the Afghans
keep walking into
machine gun fire
1029
00:48:11,241 --> 00:48:12,401
till the Russians
run out of bullets?
1030
00:48:12,475 --> 00:48:13,567
That's Harold Holt's
strategy.
1031
00:48:13,643 --> 00:48:15,543
It's not U.S. Strategy.
What is U.S. Strategy?
1032
00:48:15,612 --> 00:48:17,045
Well, strictly speaking,
we don't have one.
1033
00:48:17,113 --> 00:48:18,205
But we're working
hard on that.
1034

Don't say task force.

like Eliot Ness

weren't using?

an antiaircraft gun

called the Oerlikon.
Listen, Charlie.

00:50:28,511 --> 00:50:30,138
Twenty-millimeter cannon,
high rate of fire.

the limo driver.

What do you mean?

00:50:34,984 --> 00:50:37,782
Well, you took a limo
from the casino to
the airport.
1093

Maybe it's easy enough
to track down a limo driver,
hand him a subpoena,

ask him if anything
was going on in

up this...

at the door?

at the door.

transmitter on it.

in my ear. Get past it.

fuck... Who the fuck are you?

indicted.

off my Scotch bottle now?

had their hands blown off

when they tried to pick
up something shiny.
1116

Sometimes the kids think
those bombs are toys.
1117
00:51:32,609 --> 00:51:34,907

Yeah.
1118

and...

ones.

and fight the Red Army.

Oh, God, yeah.
1130
00:52:01,838 --> 00:52:03,362
Well, should we try
this Scotch,
1131
00:52:03,439 --> 00:52:05,168
or is it gonna release
sarin gas when I open it?
1132
00:52:05,241 --> 00:52:08,176
Oh, I don't think so,
but open it over there.
1133

How'd a guy like you get
into the Agency?

What, you mean a street guy?
You ain't James Bond.

And you ain't
Thomas Jefferson,
so let's call it even.
1136
00:52:23,226 --> 00:52:24,318
Deal.
1137
00:52:26,029 --> 00:52:27,553
Since there's no other reason
I should be here,
1138
00:52:27,630 --> 00:52:30,690
let's assume it's 'cause
I'm very good at this.
1139
00:52:33,203 --> 00:52:35,671
They need to shoot down
the helicopters, Gus.
1140
00:52:35,738 --> 00:52:38,298
They need at least,
what, 50 Oerlikons.
1141
00:52:38,374 --> 00:52:40,342
Yeah, it's gonna cost
a lot more than $10 million.

And I say for the fourth time,
I can raise the money.

Yeah, how?
1144
00:52:43,746 --> 00:52:46,909
Is the Oerlikon the gun
I should be recommending?
1145
00:52:47,050 --> 00:52:48,483
I'm not sure.
1146
00:52:48,551 --> 00:52:51,076
Who is sure?
A weapons guy named
Mike Vickers.
1147
00:52:51,154 --> 00:52:53,384
I'll call him.
Yeah. Let's call him
right now.

in the white shirt

the four guys at once?

CHARLIE: Yeah.
1152
00:53:07,003 --> 00:53:09,528
Which one of the guys do you
think is a strategic weapons
expert

with the CIA?

That was a trick question,
Charlie.

It's the nerdy-looking kid
in the white shirt.

can't be fun, you know.

Yeah, just a second.

00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,448
Need you now, Mike.

00:53:33,596 --> 00:53:35,587
of the Defense Appropriations
Subcommittee.

How are you, sir?
Fine, thank you.

This is the CIA's weapons
expert?
1166
00:53:44,574 --> 00:53:46,235
One of them.
But he's the most senior.
1167
00:53:46,309 --> 00:53:47,333
GUS: Look...
MAN: Mike!
1168
00:53:47,410 --> 00:53:49,708
Yeah, bishop to queen's
knight 7.
1169
00:53:49,779 --> 00:53:51,406
See? He's playing
without even looking
at the board.
1170
00:53:51,481 --> 00:53:52,607
That's a useful skill
1171
00:53:52,682 --> 00:53:55,708
if Afghanistan's ever invaded
by Boris Spassky.
1172
00:53:55,785 --> 00:53:58,083
Did my office not make
it clear to Langley that
I'm in no mood
1173
00:53:58,154 --> 00:53:59,178
to be fucked around with?
Charlie...
1174
00:53:59,255 --> 00:54:01,416
You answer to me or
you answer to Jim Baker.
Which do you want?
1175
00:54:01,491 --> 00:54:04,358
All right, the guy's a fucking
Green Beret, Charlie.
He trained with the SEALs.
1176
00:54:04,427 --> 00:54:06,952
No one's trying to fuck
with you!
MAN: Mike?
1177
00:54:07,030 --> 00:54:09,965
Yeah, what was your move?
Knight to queen's bishop 5.
1178
00:54:10,033 --> 00:54:11,625
All right, queen to king's
rook 3.
1179
00:54:11,701 --> 00:54:14,727
Guy on the right, you don't
want to trade queens with me.
1180
00:54:14,804 --> 00:54:15,896
Shit.
1181
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,730
All right, I apologize.
1182
00:54:18,808 --> 00:54:20,799
Okay.
Everybody friends?
1183
00:54:20,910 --> 00:54:24,243
As a former naval officer
myself, Mike, I should've
known better.
1184
00:54:24,314 --> 00:54:26,339
As a former naval officer,
I'd have been surprised
if you had.
1185
00:54:26,416 --> 00:54:27,440
Now, what the fuck?
Hey.
1186
00:54:27,517 --> 00:54:29,382
He said he was sorry.
Hey.
1187
00:54:29,452 --> 00:54:30,942
What can I do for you, sir?
1188
00:54:31,020 --> 00:54:33,853
All right, he wants
to make a recommendation
to his Subcommittee.
1189
00:54:33,923 --> 00:54:36,915
Now, the Swiss made Oerlikon
S.T.A. Antiaircraft cannon,
that's what you'd use
1190
00:54:36,993 --> 00:54:39,484
to shoot down the Ml-24 Hind
gunship in the mountains,
right?
1191
00:54:39,562 --> 00:54:40,688
Well, the Oerlikon's
a good start,
1192
00:54:40,763 --> 00:54:43,027
but the Russians will
just start flying higher
altitude missions.
1193
00:54:43,099 --> 00:54:44,123
So what else do they need?
1194
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,964
Same thing you give us.
AK-47 s, AK-74s, AKMS.
1195
00:54:47,036 --> 00:54:49,095
The Soviets didn't
come into Afghanistan
on a Eurail Pass.
1196
00:54:49,172 --> 00:54:50,662
They came in T-55 tanks.
1197
00:54:50,740 --> 00:54:53,470
The fighters need
RPG-7 anti-tank
grenade launchers,
1198
00:54:53,543 --> 00:54:57,946
Katyusha 107 mm rockets,
wire mines, plastic mines,
bicycle bombs, sniper rifles,
1199
00:54:58,014 --> 00:54:59,447
ammunition for
all the above
1200
00:54:59,515 --> 00:55:01,278
and frequency-hopping radios
and burst transmitters
1201
00:55:01,351 --> 00:55:03,979
so these guys aren't
so fucking easy to find.
1202
00:55:04,053 --> 00:55:06,021
Well, I've written it all
in a report you can read.
1203
00:55:06,089 --> 00:55:08,387
You'd be the first
one who did.
1204
00:55:09,559 --> 00:55:11,857
Send a copy of it to me
by secure courier right away.
1205
00:55:11,928 --> 00:55:14,158
I will. All right.
All right.
1206
00:55:16,566 --> 00:55:17,965
There was a report?
1207
00:55:18,034 --> 00:55:19,296
It's not that simple.
1208
00:55:19,969 --> 00:55:22,767
Why not?
Well, for one thing
it's covert.
1209
00:55:22,839 --> 00:55:24,466
When an Afghan freedom fighter
gets captured,
1210
00:55:24,540 --> 00:55:25,973
it can't be with
an American-made
weapon on him.
1211
00:55:26,042 --> 00:55:27,942
That's how a cold war turns
into an actual war,
1212
00:55:28,010 --> 00:55:29,944
and that's something
you want to keep
a good eye on.
1213
00:55:30,012 --> 00:55:32,003
So anything we give them
has to look like
1214
00:55:32,081 --> 00:55:34,982
it could have plausibly
been captured from
the Soviets.
1215
00:55:35,051 --> 00:55:36,746
Yeah, that's right.
You know who's good at that?
1216
00:55:36,819 --> 00:55:39,151
Israel and Egypt.
That's right.
1217
00:55:40,757 --> 00:55:42,190
You know what Vickers
just described back there
1218
00:55:42,258 --> 00:55:44,692
could cost as much
as $40 million.
1219
00:55:44,961 --> 00:55:47,589
I can get the appropriation.
But how?
1220
00:55:48,564 --> 00:55:50,623
I want to know how are you
gonna get the approval
of Congress
1221
00:55:50,700 --> 00:55:52,395
when they're saying no
to the Contras for nothing,
1222
00:55:52,468 --> 00:55:55,130
for $5 million, a request
made by the President?
1223
00:55:55,204 --> 00:55:57,263
When a black approp makes it
through this Subcommittee,
1224
00:55:57,340 --> 00:55:59,570
the full body has
to vote on it blind.
1225
00:55:59,642 --> 00:56:01,803
They know the dollar amount,
but they don't know
what it's for.
1226
00:56:01,878 --> 00:56:05,905
So, theoretically, your
$10 million can become
40 million
1227
00:56:05,982 --> 00:56:08,007
without anyone ever noticing
but the Russian Army.
1228
00:56:08,084 --> 00:56:09,949
Because Congress
wouldn't know what
it was voting on.
1229
00:56:10,019 --> 00:56:11,077
That's the beauty of it!
1230
00:56:11,154 --> 00:56:12,917
All you need are the nine
other Subcommittee members.
1231
00:56:12,989 --> 00:56:14,513
All I really need is
the Committee Chairman.
1232
00:56:14,590 --> 00:56:16,353
Doc Long.
Doc Long.
1233
00:56:16,692 --> 00:56:19,786
And with Doc's backing,
you'll get the votes of
the other Committee members.
1234
00:56:19,862 --> 00:56:20,988
Yep.
I don't believe you.
1235
00:56:21,063 --> 00:56:22,087
I don't care.
1236
00:56:22,165 --> 00:56:23,427
And until the phone rang
this morning, Charlie,
1237
00:56:23,499 --> 00:56:25,763
I didn't know
I'd never heard of you.
1238
00:56:25,835 --> 00:56:27,462
Well, ask around.
1239
00:56:27,603 --> 00:56:29,730
I did.
And what'd you find out?
1240
00:56:29,806 --> 00:56:31,797
That your greatest legislative
achievement in six terms
1241
00:56:31,874 --> 00:56:33,341
was getting reelected
five times.
1242
00:56:33,409 --> 00:56:34,433
Anything else?
1243
00:56:34,510 --> 00:56:36,842
That you hold more IOUs
than any member of the House.
1244
00:56:36,913 --> 00:56:37,937
(LAUGHING)
1245
00:56:38,014 --> 00:56:39,538
How about that?
1246
00:56:39,715 --> 00:56:43,344
I represent the only district
in America that doesn't
want anything.
1247
00:56:43,419 --> 00:56:46,354
They want their guns,
they want low taxes,
that's it.
1248
00:56:46,422 --> 00:56:49,220
I can do favors.
I get to vote yes a lot.
1249
00:56:51,427 --> 00:56:54,624
Now, me and three other guys
are killing Russians.
1250
00:56:54,697 --> 00:56:55,959
I mean, is it possible
1251
00:56:56,032 --> 00:56:59,832
that I've met the only elected
official in town who can help?
1252
00:57:01,704 --> 00:57:04,036
Give me a week
to set things up.
1253
00:57:04,140 --> 00:57:07,837
Go pack a bag.
I have a friend,
an arms dealer in Israel.
1254
00:57:08,311 --> 00:57:10,279
He's who we need for this,
God help us.
1255
00:57:10,346 --> 00:57:12,541
Should be interesting.
Yeah.
1256
00:57:13,449 --> 00:57:14,473
All right.
1257
00:57:15,785 --> 00:57:17,275
CHARLIE: We need you, Zvi.
1258
00:57:17,353 --> 00:57:19,821
You're gonna be our man
inside the Israeli Parliament.
1259
00:57:19,889 --> 00:57:21,652
ZVI: I'm not in the Israeli
Parliament.
1260
00:57:21,724 --> 00:57:23,715
That's what's gonna
make you so effective.
1261
00:57:23,793 --> 00:57:26,091
No one has your pull
with the 10th Knesset.
1262
00:57:26,162 --> 00:57:28,255
No one has your relationship
with the Speaker.
1263
00:57:28,331 --> 00:57:30,561
And we are gonna...
We're gonna need your arm
around Menachem,
1264
00:57:30,633 --> 00:57:34,535
when he finds out that
we're working with
Egypt and the Saudis.
1265
00:57:34,937 --> 00:57:37,838
Tell him.
Tell him why we need him.
1266
00:57:38,341 --> 00:57:40,901
GUS: I'm not saying anything.
Why not?
1267
00:57:41,244 --> 00:57:43,872
I don't know who the fuck
these two other guys are.
1268
00:57:43,946 --> 00:57:46,039
Well, ain't they bodyguards?
Not ours.
1269
00:57:46,148 --> 00:57:47,206
Zvi?
1270
00:57:51,387 --> 00:57:54,049
Now, just to sum this
up in a nutshell.
1271
00:57:54,624 --> 00:57:57,218
You want me
to move Israel
1272
00:57:57,827 --> 00:58:02,457
toward a partnership
with Egypt, Pakistan
and Afghanistan.
1273
00:58:02,532 --> 00:58:04,159
And Saudi Arabia.
1274
00:58:05,835 --> 00:58:08,861
Well, just a couple of
problems I can foresee
off the top of my head.
1275
00:58:08,938 --> 00:58:09,962
Look.
1276
00:58:10,039 --> 00:58:11,063
Charlie...
I know.
1277
00:58:11,140 --> 00:58:15,304
...Pakistan and Afghanistan
don't recognize our right
to exist.
1278
00:58:15,378 --> 00:58:19,246
Calm down.
We just got done fighting
a war with Egypt
1279
00:58:19,315 --> 00:58:22,648
and every person who has
ever tried to kill me
and my family,
1280
00:58:22,718 --> 00:58:24,743
has been trained
in Saudi Arabia.
1281
00:58:24,820 --> 00:58:27,050
That's not entirely true, Zvi.
1282
00:58:27,356 --> 00:58:29,551
I mean, some of them
were trained by us.
1283
00:58:29,625 --> 00:58:31,092
CHARLIE: Gus, come on.
1284
00:58:32,161 --> 00:58:35,187
It's his sense of humor.
It's a bit of an
acquired taste.
1285
00:58:35,264 --> 00:58:37,289
Now, Zvi, look at me.
1286
00:58:37,833 --> 00:58:40,700
This is the front
of the Cold War.
1287
00:58:40,770 --> 00:58:43,739
It's not in Berlin,
it's not in Cuba,
it's not in Czechoslovakia.
1288
00:58:43,806 --> 00:58:46,366
It's in a pile of rocks
called Afghanistan.
1289
00:58:46,442 --> 00:58:49,036
These are the only people
who are actually shooting
at the Russians.
1290
00:58:49,111 --> 00:58:51,875
Now, you and I know we have
to get Soviet-made weapons
1291
00:58:51,948 --> 00:58:53,313
into the hands
of the mujahideen.
1292
00:58:53,382 --> 00:58:55,111
And you and I know
where the largest stockpile
1293
00:58:55,184 --> 00:58:58,085
of Soviet weapons
outside the Soviet Union is.
1294
00:58:58,154 --> 00:58:59,746
I can't tell you offhand
how many
1295
00:58:59,822 --> 00:59:02,052
and what kind of weapons
we've confiscated.
1296
00:59:02,124 --> 00:59:06,458
I can. These are Keyhole-11
satellite photos.
1297
00:59:07,229 --> 00:59:10,323
They've been degraded
so I can show them to you.
1298
00:59:10,499 --> 00:59:12,194
All right, that's
a five-wheeled chassis tank.
1299
00:59:12,268 --> 00:59:14,828
That's not the Mk.1,
that's the T-55.
1300
00:59:14,904 --> 00:59:17,873
And it and four others are
about 12 miles from here.
1301
00:59:17,940 --> 00:59:20,204
What do you want tanks
in mountains for?
1302
00:59:20,276 --> 00:59:22,710
Oh, we don't. I just
wanted you to know I know
you got them.
1303
00:59:22,778 --> 00:59:26,179
$35.5 million.
Which you'll be able
to appropriate.
1304
00:59:26,382 --> 00:59:27,406
Yeah.
1305
00:59:27,483 --> 00:59:29,451
Without the press asking
questions about it.
1306
00:59:29,518 --> 00:59:30,542
GUS: You know,
there's good news there,
1307
00:59:30,620 --> 00:59:33,453
because the press is going
to be busy asking about
a weekend in Vegas
1308
00:59:33,522 --> 00:59:35,888
and his pending arrest
on charges of narcotics
possession.
1309
00:59:35,958 --> 00:59:38,984
Oh, Gus.
Shit, Charlie.
1310
00:59:39,061 --> 00:59:41,120
It's nothing.
Is this true?
1311
00:59:41,197 --> 00:59:43,290
No, for our purposes,
it doesn't really matter.
1312
00:59:43,366 --> 00:59:45,027
Thank you.
I was just explaining to him
1313
00:59:45,101 --> 00:59:47,228
that as long as the press
sees sex and drugs behind
the left hand,
1314
00:59:47,303 --> 00:59:48,998
you can park a battle carrier
behind the right hand
1315
00:59:49,071 --> 00:59:50,333
and no one's gonna
fucking notice.
1316
00:59:50,406 --> 00:59:51,532
What the hell happened?
1317
00:59:51,607 --> 00:59:53,472
It's not germane.
It's not germane
to these people
1318
00:59:53,542 --> 00:59:56,978
who are fighting and dying,
and being massacred
in their homes.
1319
00:59:57,046 --> 01:00:00,072
Now, for the love of Christ,
will you help us help them
1320
01:00:00,149 --> 01:00:02,049
shoot down these fucking
helicopters?
1321
01:00:05,054 --> 01:00:06,817
I love you, Charlie,
1322
01:00:07,723 --> 01:00:09,623
but you are a grown man
1323
01:00:09,925 --> 01:00:14,760
who still hasn't learned
to look both ways before
he crosses the fucking street!
1324
01:00:21,337 --> 01:00:22,736
Yes, I'm in.
1325
01:00:24,940 --> 01:00:28,103
But I don't like this guy.
I know how you feel.
1326
01:00:29,712 --> 01:00:32,647
ZVI: What happens now?
You come with us to Cairo.
1327
01:00:32,715 --> 01:00:35,013
This meeting's gonna
be run professional?
Oh, absolutely.
1328
01:00:35,084 --> 01:00:37,109
We'll be talking
to the Deputy Defense Minister
1329
01:00:37,186 --> 01:00:40,485
while his boss gets
a belly dance from a friend
of Charlie's.
1330
01:00:40,556 --> 01:00:42,615
What?
A good friend of mine
back in Texas
1331
01:00:42,692 --> 01:00:43,886
is a well-known
belly dancer.
1332
01:00:43,959 --> 01:00:47,554
It's always been her dream
to perform in Egypt,
so she's our way in.
1333
01:00:47,630 --> 01:00:51,532
While she's dancing for
the Defense Minster, we'll
be talking to the Deputy.
1334
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,932
Oh, my God.
No, she's supposed to be good.
1335
01:00:57,406 --> 01:01:00,739
(ARABIC MUSIC PLAYING)
1336
01:01:30,005 --> 01:01:32,803
That's an extraordinary
woman.
Oh, yeah.
1337
01:01:37,146 --> 01:01:39,740
That's not any belly dance
I'm familiar with.
1338
01:01:39,815 --> 01:01:43,114
That's why I wanted the
Defense Minister to see her.
1339
01:01:43,352 --> 01:01:46,947
This is your girlfriend?
Carol's a friend.
She's an old friend.
1340
01:01:47,022 --> 01:01:50,583
I understand her father
didn't allow dancing because
of the religion?
1341
01:01:50,659 --> 01:01:53,321
Yeah, that's correct.
1342
01:01:53,395 --> 01:01:54,862
And what religion is that?
1343
01:01:54,930 --> 01:01:56,795
You know, she's a Baptist.
1344
01:01:58,634 --> 01:02:03,230
As I was saying, the Russians
will learn, I'm quite
afraid the hard way,
1345
01:02:03,305 --> 01:02:05,796
to fear God's vengeance
upon those
1346
01:02:05,875 --> 01:02:09,572
who oppress his humble
servants who submit
to him in Islam.
1347
01:02:09,879 --> 01:02:12,677
Their skulls will hang
from the treetops.
1348
01:02:12,748 --> 01:02:16,377
You can do whatever you like
with their skulls, I suppose.
1349
01:02:16,552 --> 01:02:22,457
What has Gus here concerned is
a SA surface-to-air missiles
you all have.
1350
01:02:22,525 --> 01:02:24,254
For some reason, he thinks
they were stored poorly.
1351
01:02:24,326 --> 01:02:26,817
No, no, no, the SA-7 s
were stored properly.
1352
01:02:26,896 --> 01:02:30,593
Excuse me. What about
the oppression of my people?
1353
01:02:30,666 --> 01:02:32,327
Oh, Zvi.
I beg your pardon?
1354
01:02:32,401 --> 01:02:33,868
Fellows, we have
to do this now.
1355
01:02:33,936 --> 01:02:38,464
I am about to arrange
for $35 million worth of guns
1356
01:02:38,541 --> 01:02:40,133
to be put into the hands
of Muslims!
1357
01:02:40,209 --> 01:02:43,542
I meant no disrespect.
Oh, really?
1358
01:02:43,612 --> 01:02:46,172
CHARLIE: Well, anyway, that...
None of this is important.
1359
01:02:46,248 --> 01:02:49,217
You have Soviet-licensed
factories that can put
out Kalashnikovs
1360
01:02:49,285 --> 01:02:51,219
at a rate of 25,000 a week?
1361
01:02:51,287 --> 01:02:54,381
That's correct.
What about city warfare
devices?
1362
01:02:54,456 --> 01:02:56,515
What kind?
Bicycle bombs, limpet mines,
1363
01:02:56,592 --> 01:02:57,854
plastic, tripwire mines?
1364
01:02:57,927 --> 01:03:00,054
Yes, yes. Whatever you need.
1365
01:03:02,398 --> 01:03:04,161
CHARLIE: We can't improve
the price now,
1366
01:03:04,233 --> 01:03:07,691
but when we come back
for more, we'll make
it up to you.
1367
01:03:07,803 --> 01:03:09,031
I agree.
1368
01:03:09,738 --> 01:03:11,069
All right.
1369
01:03:21,550 --> 01:03:25,111
Hey, you did good back there
ignoring the religious shit.
1370
01:03:26,021 --> 01:03:27,955
'Cause these people are
totally fucking unspooled,
1371
01:03:28,023 --> 01:03:30,924
and I'm not just talking
about the Muslims.
1372
01:03:31,393 --> 01:03:33,884
Zvi's all right.
Oh, I know he is.
1373
01:03:34,196 --> 01:03:35,356
He is Mossad, by the way.
1374
01:03:35,431 --> 01:03:38,594
What I'm talking about is
your friend in Houston.
1375
01:03:38,868 --> 01:03:42,929
Now, she's got to stop
throwing fundraisers and
she's got to stop doing press.
1376
01:03:43,005 --> 01:03:45,565
Joanne is raising awareness.
1377
01:03:45,641 --> 01:03:47,006
(CHUCKLES)
1378
01:03:48,110 --> 01:03:52,774
She's using
a non-secular vocabulary
1379
01:03:53,115 --> 01:03:55,640
and framing this
as a religious war.
1380
01:03:56,752 --> 01:03:59,016
And America doesn't
fight religious wars.
1381
01:03:59,088 --> 01:04:00,180
(SIGHING)
1382
01:04:00,256 --> 01:04:02,724
Is that right?
Yeah, that's why
I like living there.
1383
01:04:02,791 --> 01:04:05,589
FLIGHT CAPTAIN: Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
This is your captain.
1384
01:04:05,694 --> 01:04:07,491
We will begin our initial
descent
1385
01:04:07,563 --> 01:04:10,930
into Washington
Dulles Airport.
I got to go down
to Houston, so...
1386
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,025
... I would like to thank you
and hope...
1387
01:04:13,102 --> 01:04:16,003
Well, talk to her.
Yeah, I'll talk to her.
1388
01:04:19,508 --> 01:04:21,976
You want me to go into
business with the Israelis?
1389
01:04:22,044 --> 01:04:24,342
Just for this one purpose,
yes, Mr. President.
1390
01:04:24,413 --> 01:04:28,941
The Israelis have the largest
stockpile of Soviet-made
weapons in friendly hands.
1391
01:04:29,018 --> 01:04:30,417
I know that.
1392
01:04:31,153 --> 01:04:34,589
I need to trust that
this arrangement
will remain secret.
1393
01:04:34,657 --> 01:04:38,957
Pakistan and Israel would
have to appear to be enemies
in the public eye.
1394
01:04:39,028 --> 01:04:41,496
Yeah, I don't think
that's a tough sell.
1395
01:04:41,563 --> 01:04:43,292
You have authority
to do this?
1396
01:04:43,365 --> 01:04:46,459
None whatsoever. In fact,
I'm pretty close to
violating the Logan Act.
1397
01:04:46,535 --> 01:04:48,400
Well, I don't know
what that is.
1398
01:04:48,470 --> 01:04:49,869
But, Charlie.
Yes, sir.
1399
01:04:49,939 --> 01:04:52,840
If I see one fucking
Star of David on a crate...
1400
01:04:52,908 --> 01:04:54,705
You won't. I promise.
1401
01:04:56,645 --> 01:04:57,703
Hey.
Excuse me.
1402
01:04:57,780 --> 01:05:00,544
You want me to take a look
at those remarks?
1403
01:05:00,616 --> 01:05:02,641
Why?
Just... Well,
your introduction,
1404
01:05:02,718 --> 01:05:07,052
want me to look it over?
It's an introduction, Charlie.
I'll be fine.
1405
01:05:14,863 --> 01:05:18,526
Today we honor President
Zia ul-Haq of Pakistan.
1406
01:05:19,068 --> 01:05:21,628
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
1407
01:05:32,181 --> 01:05:35,912
Before we go any further,
I would like you all
to know this,
1408
01:05:36,218 --> 01:05:38,652
President Zia did not
kill Bhutto.
1409
01:05:39,855 --> 01:05:41,550
In the time that
he's been President,
1410
01:05:41,623 --> 01:05:44,558
the fortunes of Pakistan
have changed radically.
1411
01:05:44,626 --> 01:05:45,854
I've asked you all here
today...
1412
01:05:47,296 --> 01:05:49,287
(CROWD CHATTERING)
1413
01:05:51,433 --> 01:05:53,697
(CUTLERY CLINKING)
1414
01:05:54,236 --> 01:05:56,329
You disappeared.
1415
01:05:56,538 --> 01:05:58,529
Well, they weren't
selling alcohol in there.
1416
01:05:58,607 --> 01:06:01,075
It's a traditional
Pakistani gathering.
1417
01:06:01,143 --> 01:06:02,940
You think they might be
a lot happier over there
1418
01:06:03,012 --> 01:06:06,379
if they could just get women
and booze in the same room
at the same time?
1419
01:06:06,448 --> 01:06:08,245
I think they'd be a whole
lot happier over there
1420
01:06:08,317 --> 01:06:09,784
if the Communists got out.
1421
01:06:09,852 --> 01:06:12,412
"Zia did not kill Bhutto."
1422
01:06:12,888 --> 01:06:16,346
That's not something you
usually hear in introductory
remarks.
1423
01:06:16,425 --> 01:06:19,883
He didn't, Charlie.
Bhutto had a trial
and was found guilty.
1424
01:06:19,962 --> 01:06:21,589
Shocking verdict.
1425
01:06:22,431 --> 01:06:25,025
What did you need
to talk to me about?
1426
01:06:25,901 --> 01:06:29,598
Joanne, darling,
dial down the religion.
1427
01:06:29,938 --> 01:06:32,270
What?
It could alienate people
1428
01:06:32,341 --> 01:06:34,070
whose support we need.
1429
01:06:34,143 --> 01:06:36,839
It's luncheons like this
that are raising the
money we need.
1430
01:06:36,912 --> 01:06:39,779
This thing is not gonna
get done by ballrooms
full of people
1431
01:06:39,848 --> 01:06:41,076
in the Houstonian Hotel.
1432
01:06:41,150 --> 01:06:44,517
It's gonna get done
by the CIA, Israel,
Egypt and Pakistan,
1433
01:06:44,586 --> 01:06:46,213
and it's gonna get
done quietly.
1434
01:06:46,288 --> 01:06:47,653
Now, you start making
people think
1435
01:06:47,723 --> 01:06:50,191
we're trying to convert
everybody to Christianity.
1436
01:06:50,259 --> 01:06:53,456
I was saved by Jesus Christ,
Charlie, and I am not
ashamed of it.
1437
01:06:53,529 --> 01:06:56,760
My fervor is not about
religion, it's about
freedom of religion,
1438
01:06:56,832 --> 01:06:57,890
which we have, they want,
1439
01:06:57,966 --> 01:07:00,230
and the Communists
are slaughtering them for.
1440
01:07:00,302 --> 01:07:03,601
And I get it.
Just tamp down the fervor.
1441
01:07:04,606 --> 01:07:07,507
Well, I can't modulate
God's will, sweetie.
1442
01:07:07,743 --> 01:07:09,142
You can try.
1443
01:07:10,045 --> 01:07:13,640
Now, I got to get back to D.C.
They've set up a briefing
for me at Langley.
1444
01:07:13,715 --> 01:07:16,081
On what?
On getting the guns.
1445
01:07:19,021 --> 01:07:20,511
Afghanistan's barely
a country.
1446
01:07:20,589 --> 01:07:22,853
There's no phones or roads
outside the cities.
1447
01:07:22,925 --> 01:07:24,358
It's likely that a villager
would live his life
1448
01:07:24,426 --> 01:07:26,986
without having contact with
another village just three
miles down the road
1449
01:07:27,062 --> 01:07:29,121
unless he was going
to war against them.
1450
01:07:29,198 --> 01:07:31,826
Now, my thinking is instead
of 400,000 sloppy guys,
1451
01:07:31,900 --> 01:07:35,597
we concentrate on
several elite forces
totaling about 150,000.
1452
01:07:35,671 --> 01:07:37,161
Give these guys
real training,
1453
01:07:37,239 --> 01:07:40,174
20 different courses covering
irregular warfare disciplines.
1454
01:07:40,242 --> 01:07:41,766
GUS: And do you have anybody
in mind?
1455
01:07:41,844 --> 01:07:44,938
The most successful rebels
today are in the
Panjshir Valley.
1456
01:07:45,013 --> 01:07:47,504
They're called the
United Front of the
Council of the North.
1457
01:07:47,616 --> 01:07:49,641
We've earmarked them
for 10 million in weapons
1458
01:07:49,718 --> 01:07:52,312
and 10 to 15 agency advisors
for training.
1459
01:07:52,387 --> 01:07:55,447
CHARLIE: Who's their leader?
Ahmed Shah Massoud.
1460
01:07:55,524 --> 01:07:58,982
He's Tajik, so he's not well
liked by the Pashtun.
1461
01:07:59,061 --> 01:08:02,224
CHARLIE: So the... What,
the Tajiks have a problem
with the Pashtuns?
1462
01:08:02,297 --> 01:08:04,458
Well, they say when a Tajik
wants to make love to a woman,
1463
01:08:04,533 --> 01:08:07,331
his first choice is always
a Pashtun man.
1464
01:08:08,770 --> 01:08:11,261
It's funnier in
the original Pashto.
1465
01:08:11,540 --> 01:08:15,271
All right, I've heard enough.
I'm going to go get our money.
1466
01:08:15,511 --> 01:08:17,843
All right, don't fuck
us up now.
1467
01:08:18,714 --> 01:08:19,840
Awesome pep talk.
1468
01:08:19,915 --> 01:08:24,181
Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan
and Saudi Arabia,
1469
01:08:24,253 --> 01:08:27,051
these are all totalitarian
dictatorships.
1470
01:08:27,122 --> 01:08:31,559
And they'd like to blow the
only democracy in the region
right into the Mediterranean.
1471
01:08:31,627 --> 01:08:34,687
Now, you heard me say
that Israel's gonna
be on board.
1472
01:08:34,763 --> 01:08:37,459
Oh, well, Zvi Rafiah's
out of his mind.
1473
01:08:37,699 --> 01:08:41,795
These people are draconian
thugs, and in an evil
and twisted derby
1474
01:08:41,870 --> 01:08:44,236
between the Communists
and the Fundamentalists,
1475
01:08:44,306 --> 01:08:45,864
it's 6-to-5 and pick them,
as far as I'm concerned.
1476
01:08:45,941 --> 01:08:48,341
No, you're wrong about that,
Doc, and you know
you don't mean it.
1477
01:08:48,410 --> 01:08:52,210
In Pakistan, a blind girl
gets raped, but there's
a witness.
1478
01:08:52,281 --> 01:08:54,772
Now, in Pakistan it takes
four witnesses.
1479
01:08:54,850 --> 01:08:57,284
So the rapist walks away
and the girl is in prison.
1480
01:08:57,352 --> 01:08:58,876
Can you tell me why?
1481
01:08:58,954 --> 01:09:01,684
Well, fornication.
That's right.
1482
01:09:01,757 --> 01:09:04,783
Mr. Chairman, President Zia
is the only one willing
to shoulder the risk
1483
01:09:04,860 --> 01:09:08,023
of actively training
and funding the mujahideen
1484
01:09:08,096 --> 01:09:09,461
while Egypt
and Saudi Arabia...
1485
01:09:09,531 --> 01:09:12,261
Now, the Saudis are matching
any funding from Congress?
1486
01:09:12,334 --> 01:09:14,859
That's right.
So when you say 40 million
to me,
1487
01:09:14,937 --> 01:09:16,165
you're really talking
about 80 million.
1488
01:09:16,238 --> 01:09:17,364
Only 40 from us.
1489
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:19,532
You want to put $80 million
in the hands of these people?
1490
01:09:19,608 --> 01:09:21,735
No, see, Doc, now, if you took
a trip with me to the border,
1491
01:09:21,810 --> 01:09:23,505
you'd stop calling them
"these people."
1492
01:09:23,579 --> 01:09:27,071
They are farmers and children
mostly, and they are fighting
our enemies for us.
1493
01:09:27,149 --> 01:09:28,639
I know.
And that should be
impossible for America.
1494
01:09:28,717 --> 01:09:30,617
I know.
It should be impossible
for America
1495
01:09:30,686 --> 01:09:34,247
to sit on the bench while
little kids and their
mothers fight our enemies.
1496
01:09:34,323 --> 01:09:37,156

to change that is to
support me

1498
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:43,094

but doubling from 5
to 10 million is one thing,

01:28:59,220 --> 01:29:02,018
the Greek witch of Aquilippa,
Pennsylvania?
1812
01:29:02,123 --> 01:29:04,489
Yeah, as a matter
of fact, it is.
1813
01:29:04,592 --> 01:29:06,287
(PEOPLE LAUGHING)
1814
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:09,659
There was a little boy,
and on his 14th birthday
he gets a horse.
1815
01:29:09,730 --> 01:29:12,699
And everybody in the village
says, "How wonderful!
The boy got a horse."
1816
01:29:12,767 --> 01:29:15,361
And the Zen master says,
"We'll see."
1817
01:29:15,836 --> 01:29:17,997
Two years later, the boy falls
off the horse, breaks his leg.
1818
01:29:18,072 --> 01:29:20,097
And everybody in the village
says, "How terrible!"
1819
01:29:20,174 --> 01:29:22,768
And the Zen master says,
"We'll see."
1820
01:29:23,144 --> 01:29:24,441
Then a war breaks out,
1821
01:29:24,512 --> 01:29:26,002
and all the young men
have to go off and fight,
1822
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:27,843
except the boy can't
'cause his leg's
all messed up.
1823
01:29:27,915 --> 01:29:29,542
And everybody in the village
says, "How wonderful!"
1824
01:29:29,617 --> 01:29:32,211
And the Zen master says,
"We'll see."
1825
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:34,911
So you get it.
1826
01:29:34,989 --> 01:29:37,514
No. No, I don't
'cause I'm stupid.
1827
01:29:37,591 --> 01:29:40,082
You're not stupid.
You're just in Congress.
1828
01:29:40,161 --> 01:29:41,924
Send them money.
You can start
with the roads.
1829
01:29:41,996 --> 01:29:44,191
Move on to the schools,
factories.
Gus, now, it's a party.
1830
01:29:44,265 --> 01:29:45,630
Restock the sheep herds.
Hey.
1831
01:29:45,699 --> 01:29:47,462
Give them jobs,
give them hope.
I'm trying. I'm trying.
1832
01:29:47,535 --> 01:29:49,503
Yeah, well, try harder.
I'm fighting
for every dollar.
1833
01:29:49,570 --> 01:29:53,199
Yeah, yeah.
I took you from 5 million
to a billion.
1834
01:29:53,674 --> 01:29:55,164
I broke the ice on the Stinger
and the MILAN.
1835
01:29:55,242 --> 01:29:58,234
I got a Democratic Congress
in lockstep behind
a Republican President.
1836
01:29:58,312 --> 01:29:59,506
Well, that's not good enough
1837
01:29:59,580 --> 01:30:01,946
'cause I'm gonna hand you
a code word classified
NIE right now,
1838
01:30:02,016 --> 01:30:03,847
and it's gonna tell you
that the crazies have
started rolling
1839
01:30:03,918 --> 01:30:06,978
into Kandahar like it's
a fucking bathtub drain.
1840
01:30:08,088 --> 01:30:10,682
Jesus, Gus, you could depress
a bride on her wedding day.
1841
01:30:10,791 --> 01:30:11,849
Hey.
1842
01:30:15,329 --> 01:30:17,627
Listen to what
I'm telling you.
1843
01:30:35,149 --> 01:30:38,676
You did a hell of a job for
the son of a soda pop maker.
1844
01:30:39,286 --> 01:30:42,949
"We'll see,"
said the Zen master.
1845
01:30:58,305 --> 01:31:00,432
$1 million for school
reconstruction?
1846
01:31:00,508 --> 01:31:01,770
MAN 1: Oh, shit, Charlie.
1847
01:31:01,842 --> 01:31:04,572
Listen.
He's like the congressman
from Kabul.
1848
01:31:04,645 --> 01:31:08,376
Did you hear me say it was
a million, not a billion,
for school construction?
1849
01:31:08,449 --> 01:31:10,383
Yeah, we heard you.
Everybody heard you, buddy.
1850
01:31:10,451 --> 01:31:12,112
They heard you in Dover,
Delaware.
1851
01:31:12,186 --> 01:31:13,653
Well, I sure hope I'm not
annoying you, Bob,
1852
01:31:13,721 --> 01:31:15,586
'cause that's the last thing
I want to do.
Look...
1853
01:31:15,656 --> 01:31:18,625
I was in the Roosevelt Room
with the President last week.
1854
01:31:18,692 --> 01:31:19,784
You know what he said?
1855
01:31:19,860 --> 01:31:22,055
He said, "Afghanistan?
Is that still going on?"
1856
01:31:22,129 --> 01:31:23,528
Well, it is.
1857
01:31:23,697 --> 01:31:25,164
Half the population
of that country
1858
01:31:25,232 --> 01:31:26,563
is under the age of 14.
Charlie.
1859
01:31:26,634 --> 01:31:30,229
Half the population is
under the age of 14.
1860
01:31:31,105 --> 01:31:32,595
Now, think how fucking
dangerous that is.
1861
01:31:32,673 --> 01:31:35,403
They're gonna come home
and find their families
are dead,
1862
01:31:35,476 --> 01:31:37,000
their villages have
been napalmed.
1863
01:31:37,077 --> 01:31:39,841
And we helped kill the guys
who did it.
Yeah, but they don't
know that, Bob,
1864
01:31:39,914 --> 01:31:41,882
'cause they don't
get home delivery
of The New York Times.
1865
01:31:41,949 --> 01:31:45,146
And even if they did,
it was covert, remember?
1866
01:31:45,886 --> 01:31:49,686
This is what we always do.
We always go in with
our ideals
1867
01:31:49,757 --> 01:31:52,590
and we change the world
and then we leave.
1868
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:54,552
We always leave.
1869
01:31:54,962 --> 01:31:57,760
But that ball, though,
it keeps on bouncing.
1870
01:31:57,831 --> 01:32:00,231
What?
The ball keeps on bouncing.
1871
01:32:00,434 --> 01:32:01,765
MAN 2: Yeah, we're
a little busy right now
1872
01:32:01,835 --> 01:32:03,769
reorganizing Eastern Europe,
don't you think?
1873
01:32:03,837 --> 01:32:05,600
We've spent billions.
1874
01:32:05,739 --> 01:32:09,470
Let's spend a million
on H.R.118 and rebuild
a school.
1875
01:32:09,543 --> 01:32:13,070
Charlie, nobody gives a shit
about a school in Pakistan.
1876
01:32:13,681 --> 01:32:15,080
Afghanistan.
1877
01:32:36,470 --> 01:32:41,567
MAN: So, for the first time,
a civilian is being given
our highest recognition,
1878
01:32:42,142 --> 01:32:44,167
that of Honored Colleague.
1879
01:32:44,378 --> 01:32:47,006
Ladies and gentlemen
of the Clandestine Services,
1880
01:32:47,081 --> 01:32:49,174
Congressman Charles Wilson.
1881
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:54,644
MAN: Bravo, Charlie.
