00:23:58 for a Golden Globe
00:24:00 You know what
00:24:03 Well, as a member
00:24:05 did you think
00:24:07 that the Soviet Union's
00:24:09 Yes, I believe
00:24:11 but I was wondering if they were
00:24:13 other than boycotting the Olympics,
00:24:17 was a fairly
00:24:18 to the greatest national
00:24:21 since the
00:24:22 Well, I don't think making more
00:24:25 if that's what
00:24:27 It's not.
00:24:30 Exactly how much power do you have
00:24:32 Which one? I'm on two.
00:24:34 Foreign Ops.
00:24:35 Eight members and myself hand out

00:24:46 Would you like
00:24:48 Yeah.

00:25:03 and you preside over a
00:25:07 for the three agencies you would
00:25:10 Isn't that right?
00:25:12 I also have seats
00:25:14 Isn't that how you were able to
00:25:18 in Afghanistan
00:25:20 Why are you only asking me questions
00:25:24 Why is Congress saying one
00:25:27 Well, tradition mostly.
00:25:35 Come here.
00:25:37 Okay.
00:25:47 I do not understand the
00:25:52 You're dancing around,
00:25:54 Charlie?
00:25:56 Why is the CIA running
00:26:00 They're doing
00:26:02 They're doing it badly.
00:26:04 The CIA is arming
00:26:06 Where do you think they're
00:26:07 They're arming them with
00:26:11 which would be good,
00:26:13 except the Soviets have specifically
00:26:16 to resist
00:26:19 We sold Pakistan F-16s,
00:26:21 but didn't give them the
00:26:25 If this were a real war,
00:26:26 State would issue a white paper
00:26:28 the way they did
00:26:31 If this were a real war, there'd
00:26:35 on Afghanistan, headed by Henry Kissinger
00:26:39 If this were a real war, Congress
00:26:44 for covert operations
00:26:47 If this were a real war...
00:26:50 You may be

00:30:55 Okay.
00:30:57 Brigadier?
00:30:58 So you understand the
00:31:02 Yes, sir, I think I do.
00:31:06 And I know I speak for all the people in
00:31:09 when I say our thoughts and
00:31:12 All the people of the Texas
00:31:14 you say?
00:31:16 Three million Afghan refugees are
00:31:20 Another two million
00:31:22 And two million
00:31:23 is just what the doctors ordered
00:31:25 People are dying
00:31:28 And the ones that aren't are
00:31:31 Would you like
00:31:33 One fifth of Afghanistan
00:31:35 in Pakistan's
00:31:37 So, what I have
00:31:39 why your State Department
00:31:43 who thinks he understands the problem.
00:31:45 'Cause I don't think the prayers of
00:31:48 are going to turn
00:31:50 Well, now, I wasn't sent here by
00:31:53 I was asked to come here
00:31:55 So this is
00:31:57 I don't need courtesy. I need
00:32:01 Well, we just doubled the
00:32:06 From 5 million
00:32:08 That's right.
00:32:11 No. Is that meant to be a funny joke?
00:32:13 No, sir.
00:32:14 Congressman,
00:32:16 $10 million from the U.S.
00:32:20 is such a low figure that it
00:32:23 I caught up to the sarcasm
00:32:28 The United States is
00:32:30 No, you're not.
00:32:32 Absolutely not.
00:32:33 and I know what
00:32:35 The U.S. Is not eager
00:32:37 Well, now it's my understanding
00:32:40 You didn't want them.
00:32:41 Because you refused
00:32:43 So to hell with that.
00:32:44 And this is emblematic
00:32:47 when it comes
00:32:49 To hell with it! You sell us
00:32:52 You offer Afghans rifles
00:32:56 while Soviet helicopters are
00:32:59 people, animals, food
00:33:02 Yeah. You sell the Israelis the radar,
00:33:04 so that's why he says,
00:33:06 Again, I understood. Yeah.
00:33:08 Also, the arms and funding
00:33:14 I'm sorry?
00:33:15 That's been part
00:33:17 The arms and the funding
00:33:19 We have experience
00:33:22 And your CIA has an
00:33:25 Oh. I wouldn't say that.
00:33:27 They missed 130,000 Soviet
00:33:32 Okay, we blew that call.
00:33:34 I would say so.
00:33:39 Well, I don't want to use up
00:33:46 so I will take your message
00:33:51 and we will give it
00:33:54 Let me walk you
00:34:01 I learned about you
00:34:03 I learned that you're a man
00:34:07 I am.
00:34:08 But I also learned that
00:34:10 you cannot deliver.
00:34:12 No, I don't,
00:34:14 Then promise me this.
00:34:15 Go to Peshawar
00:34:19 Right now. Today.

00:34:55 Can we go home now?
00:34:56 No. No, we have
00:36:54 I've seen enough.
00:36:59 About 350 people in three
00:37:03 But instead of doing
00:37:06 the Russians would
00:37:09 as they slit the
00:37:15 So, the Russians gathered all the
00:37:21 in the center
00:37:24 Then they ran over them
00:37:29 I saw something shiny on the
00:37:35 When I reached down to grab
00:37:40 I should have known.
00:37:41 Because last year my little brother
00:37:48 It split him in half.
00:37:50 It takes more work to take care
00:37:54 So when the Russians
00:37:57 adults who might help with the war
00:38:01 You can see yourself.
00:38:05 Like a bug.

00:40:51 Congressman, I appreciate
00:40:54 but a sudden influx of money and
00:40:59 What? A sudden influx
00:41:02 Wait, it would
00:41:04 Yeah.
00:41:06 Why, I don't even know

00:41:43 Mr. Charles Hazard.
00:41:46 And Mr. Hazard didn't like
00:41:50 messing up his flower beds.
00:41:52 One day, I heard a bunch of
00:41:54 so I ran on over

00:41:59 who was writhing on the
00:42:04 Blood was pouring
00:42:06 Mr. Hazard had

00:42:13 What did you do?
00:42:15 Well, I got some gasoline and
00:42:19 But that wasn't
00:42:22 And then I remembered, Mr.

00:42:28 His reelection every two years
00:42:31 So come Election Day, I drove
00:42:36 Now, these people hadn't voted
00:42:39 I was only 13,
00:42:43 and I filled up my car
00:42:45 and drove them
00:42:46 and then waited,
00:42:48 But before they got out
00:42:51 I said, "I don't mean to influence
00:42:56 "Mr. Charles Hazard has
00:43:02 About 400 ballots were
00:43:05 I drove 96 of them
00:43:08 Hazard lost by 16 votes.

00:48:12 That's Harold Holt's
00:48:13 It's not U.S. Strategy.
00:48:15 Well, strictly speaking,
00:48:17 But we're working

00:48:40 Rudolph Giuliani,
00:48:42 You know him?
00:48:44 Well, it's been going on
00:48:46 "Representative Charles Wilson has learned
00:48:49 "who are under investigation
00:48:51 "in what is now an 18-month
00:48:54 "that has resulted
00:48:56 "Congressman Wilson has not

00:49:06 Yes, sir.
00:49:09 Gus!
00:49:13 You and three other guys?
00:49:16 Well, I'll tell you what I told
00:49:20 Now, the 10 million is a joke?
00:49:23 To do what? To shoot
00:49:24 To shoot down
00:49:26 If we can help them shoot down
00:49:28 everything's gonna
00:49:30 You know, there's a story about
00:49:33 All right, and... Yeah.
00:49:38 It's Stu.
00:49:39 You should be on this.
00:49:43 Stu?
00:49:44 No. No,
00:49:46 It was a party in Vegas.
00:49:49 Lot of drugs, lot of
00:49:51 I was there with Crystal Lee
00:49:54 who wanted me to invest
00:49:58 I don't know.
00:49:59 I don't know, it's gonna be
00:50:02 What... Stu,
00:50:04 Okay.
00:50:06 Okay.
00:50:08 Will Crystal back up your
00:50:10 Just go put out
00:50:12 You know what?
00:50:14 You never should have been
00:50:20 Gus!
00:50:23 Yeah. The Swiss make an antiaircraft gun
00:50:26 called the Oerlikon.
00:50:28 Twenty-millimeter cannon,
00:50:30 I know the Oerlikon.
00:50:31 Don't forget
00:50:33 What do you mean?
00:50:34 Well, you took a limo from
00:50:37 Maybe it's easy enough to track down
00:50:40 ask him if anything was
00:50:42 so, you know, in terms
00:50:44 Were you listening
00:50:45 I wasn't listening at the
00:50:47 at the goddamn door listening to me? No.
00:50:50 How could you even...
00:50:52 You stood there
00:50:54 I wasn't standing at the door.
00:50:55 I bugged the Scotch bottle.
00:50:57 What?
00:50:59 Yeah, it's got a little
00:51:00 I got a little thing
00:51:03 I don't believe this. Who the
00:51:06 It's not in my ear right now.
00:51:08 I was gonna tell you about it, but
00:51:11 'cause you were getting indicted.
00:51:13 Is there a camera in here?
00:51:15 That's right.
00:51:16 Will you take the bug
00:51:20 Sure.
00:00:05 when they tried to pick
00:00:07 Sometimes the kids think
00:00:10 For children to pick up.
00:00:13 They're raping the women and... Yeah.
00:00:15 ...bayoneting the pregnant
00:00:18 But they still want to go out
00:00:21 Each and every one of them. I've
00:00:23 No, me, neither.
00:00:25 Let's be clear. I want to kill
00:00:28 Is the Oerlikon the right gun?
00:00:31 Now, you know what?
00:00:33 You've had a long flight.
00:00:34 You're under a lot of stress.
00:00:36 I ain't under arrest.
00:00:38 Do you drink?
00:00:39 Well, should we try
00:00:41 or is it gonna release
00:00:43 Oh, I don't think so,
00:00:51 How'd a guy like you get
00:00:54 What, you mean a street guy?
00:00:57 And you ain't Thomas Jefferson,
00:01:01 Deal.
00:01:03 Since there's no other reason
00:01:05 let's assume it's 'cause
00:01:11 They need to shoot down
00:01:13 They need at least,
00:01:16 Yeah, it's gonna cost
00:01:18 And I say for the fourth time,
00:01:20 Yeah, how?
00:01:21 Is the Oerlikon the gun
00:01:24 I'm not sure.
00:01:26 Who is sure? A weapons
00:01:29 I'll call him. Yeah.
00:01:37 All right, here's a test.
00:01:39 You see the nerdy-looking kid
00:01:41 playing against
00:01:43 Yeah.
00:01:44 Which one of the guys do you
00:01:47 with the CIA?
00:01:52 That was a trick question,
00:01:53 It's the nerdy-looking kid
00:01:55 All right, no reason this
00:01:57 Mike!
00:02:00 Need you now, Mike.
00:02:06 Keep playing.
00:02:09 Mike Vickers, this is
00:02:11 of the Defense Appropriations
00:02:13 How are you, sir?
00:02:17 How old are you?
00:02:20 This is the CIA's weapons
00:02:22 One of them.
00:02:24 Look...
00:02:25 Yeah, bishop to queen's
00:02:27 See? He's playing without
00:02:29 That's a useful skill
00:02:30 if Afghanistan's ever invaded
00:02:33 Did my office not make it clear
00:02:36 to be fucked around with?
00:02:37 You answer to me or you answer
00:02:39 All right, the guy's a fucking Green
00:02:42 No one's trying to fuck with you! Mike?
00:02:44 Yeah, what was your move?
00:02:47 All right, queen to king's
00:02:49 Guy on the right, you don't
00:02:52 Shit.
00:02:54 All right, I apologize.
00:02:56 Okay.
00:02:58 As a former naval officer myself,
00:03:02 As a former naval officer, I'd
00:03:04 Now, what the fuck?
00:03:05 He said he was sorry.
00:03:07 What can I do for you, sir?
00:03:08 All right, he wants to make a
00:03:11 Now, the Swiss made Oerlikon S.T.A.
00:03:14 to shoot down the Ml-24 Hind
00:03:17 Well, the Oerlikon's
00:03:18 but the Russians will just start
00:03:21 So what else do they need?
00:03:22 Same thing you give us.
00:03:24 The Soviets didn't come into
00:03:27 They came in T-55 tanks.
00:03:28 The fighters need RPG-7
00:03:31 Katyusha 107 mm rockets, wire mines,
00:03:35 ammunition for
00:03:37 and frequency-hopping radios
00:03:39 so these guys aren't
00:03:42 Well, I've written it all
00:03:44 You'd be the first
00:03:47 Send a copy of it to me
00:03:49 I will. All right.
00:03:54 There was a report?
00:03:55 It's not that simple.
00:03:57 Why not? Well, for
00:04:00 When an Afghan freedom fighter
00:04:02 it can't be with an
00:04:03 That's how a cold war turns
00:04:05 and that's something you
00:04:07 So anything we give them
00:04:10 it could have plausibly been
00:04:12 Yeah, that's right.
00:04:14 Israel and Egypt.
00:04:18 You know what Vickers
00:04:20 could cost as much
00:04:22 I can get the appropriation.
00:04:26 I want to know how are you gonna
00:04:28 when they're saying no
00:04:30 for $5 million, a request
00:04:33 When a black approp makes it
00:04:35 the full body has
00:04:37 They know the dollar amount, but
00:04:39 So, theoretically, your $10
00:04:43 without anyone ever noticing
00:04:46 Because Congress wouldn't
00:04:47 That's the beauty of it!
00:04:49 All you need are the nine
00:04:50 All I really need is
00:04:52 Doc Long.
00:04:54 And with Doc's backing, you'll get the
00:04:57 Yep.
00:04:59 I don't care.
00:05:00 And until the phone rang
00:05:01 I didn't know
00:05:03 Well, ask around.
00:05:05 I did.
00:05:07 That your greatest legislative
00:05:09 was getting reelected
00:05:11 Anything else?
00:05:12 That you hold more IOUs
00:05:15 How about that?
00:05:17 I represent the only district in
00:05:21 They want their guns, they
00:05:24 I can do favors.
00:05:29 Now, me and three other guys
00:05:32 I mean, is it possible
00:05:33 that I've met the only elected
00:05:39 Give me a week
00:05:42 Go pack a bag. I have a friend,
00:05:46 He's who we need for this,
00:05:48 Should be interesting.
00:05:51 All right.
00:05:53 We need you, Zvi.
00:05:55 You're gonna be our man
00:05:57 ZVl: I'm not in the Israeli
00:05:59 That's what's gonna
00:06:01 No one has your pull
00:06:04 No one has your relationship
00:06:06 And we are gonna... We're gonna
00:06:08 when he finds out that we're
00:06:12 Tell him.
00:06:16 I'm not saying anything.
00:06:19 I don't know who the fuck
00:06:21 Well, ain't they bodyguards?
00:06:24 Zvi?
00:06:29 Now, just to sum this
00:06:32 You want me
00:06:35 toward a partnership with
00:06:40 And Saudi Arabia.
00:06:43 Well, just a couple of problems I
00:06:46 Look.
00:06:47 Charlie...
00:06:49 ...Pakistan and Afghanistan don't
00:06:53 Calm down. We just got done
00:06:57 and every person who has ever
00:07:00 has been trained
00:07:02 That's not entirely true, Zvi.
00:07:05 I mean, some of them
00:07:07 Gus, come on.
00:07:10 It's his sense of humor. It's
00:07:13 Now, Zvi, look at me.
00:07:15 This is the front
00:07:18 It's not in Berlin, it's not in
00:07:21 It's in a pile of rocks
00:07:24 These are the only people who are
00:07:27 Now, you and I know we have
00:07:29 into the hands
00:07:31 And you and I know
00:07:33 of Soviet weapons
00:07:36 I can't tell you offhand
00:07:37 and what kind of weapons
00:07:40 I can. These are Keyhole-11
00:07:45 They've been degraded
00:07:48 All right, that's
00:07:50 That's not the Mk. 1,
00:07:52 And it and four others are
00:07:55 What do you want tanks
00:07:58 Oh, we don't. I just wanted
00:08:00 $35.5 million. Which you'll
00:08:04 Yeah.
00:08:05 Without the press asking
00:08:07 You know,
00:08:08 because the press is going to be
00:08:11 and his pending arrest on
00:08:13 Oh, Gus.
00:08:17 It's nothing.
00:08:19 No, for our purposes,
00:08:21 Thank you.
00:08:23 that as long as the press sees
00:08:25 you can park a battle carrier
00:08:27 and no one's gonna
00:08:28 What the hell happened?
00:08:29 It's not germane. It's
00:08:31 who are fighting and dying, and
00:08:34 Now, for the love of Christ,
00:08:38 shoot down these fucking
00:08:43 I love you, Charlie,
00:08:45 but you are a grown man
00:08:47 who still hasn't learned to look both
00:08:59 Yes, I'm in.
00:09:02 But I don't like this guy.
00:09:07 ZVl: What happens now?
00:09:10 This meeting's gonna be run
00:09:13 We'll be talking
00:09:15 while his boss gets a belly
00:09:18 What? A good friend
00:09:20 is a well-known
00:09:21 It's always been her dream to
00:09:25 While she's dancing for the Defense
00:09:29 Oh, my God.
00:10:07 That's an extraordinary woman. Oh, yeah.
00:10:15 That's not any belly dance
00:10:17 That's why I wanted the
00:10:21 This is your girlfriend? Carol's
00:10:24 I understand her father didn't allow
00:10:28 Yeah, that's correct.
00:10:31 And what religion is that?
00:10:32 You know, she's a Baptist.
00:10:36 As I was saying, the Russians will
00:10:41 to fear God's vengeance
00:10:43 who oppress his humble servants
00:10:47 Their skulls will hang
00:10:50 You can do whatever you like
00:10:54 What has Gus here concerned is a SA
00:11:00 For some reason, he thinks
00:11:02 No, no, no, the SA-7 s
00:11:04 Excuse me. What about
00:11:08 Oh, Zvi.
00:11:10 Fellows, we have
00:11:11 I am about to arrange
00:11:16 to be put into the hands
00:11:18 I meant no disrespect.
00:11:21 Well, anyway, that...
00:11:24 You have Soviet-licensed factories
00:11:27 at a rate of 25,000 a week?
00:11:29 That's correct. What
00:11:32 What kind?
00:11:34 plastic, tripwire mines?
00:11:35 Yes, yes. Whatever you need.
00:11:40 We can't improve
00:11:42 but when we come back for
00:11:45 I agree.
00:11:47 All right.
00:11:59 Hey, you did good back there
00:12:03 'Cause these people are
00:12:05 and I'm not just talking
00:12:09 Zvi's all right.
00:12:12 He is Mossad, by the way.
00:12:13 What I'm talking about is
00:12:16 Now, she's got to stop throwing fundraisers
00:12:20 Joanne is raising awareness.
00:12:26 She's using
00:12:31 and framing this
00:12:34 And America doesn't
00:12:38 Is that right? Yeah, that's
00:12:40 Good morning, ladies and
00:12:43 We will begin our initial
00:12:45 into Washington Dulles Airport.
00:12:48 ...I would like to thank you
00:12:51 Well, talk to her.
00:12:57 You want me to go into
00:12:59 Just for this one purpose,
00:13:02 The Israelis have the largest stockpile
00:13:06 I know that.
00:13:09 I need to trust that this
00:13:12 Pakistan and Israel would have to
00:13:16 Yeah, I don't think
00:13:19 You have authority
00:13:21 None whatsoever. In fact, I'm pretty
00:13:24 Well, I don't know
00:13:26 But, Charlie.
00:13:27 If I see one fucking
00:13:30 You won't. I promise.
00:13:34 Hey.
00:13:35 You want me to take a look
00:13:38 Why? Just... Well, your introduction,
00:13:40 want me to look it over? It's an
00:13:52 Today we honor President
00:14:10 Before we go any further, I
00:14:14 President Zia did not
00:14:17 In the time that
00:14:19 the fortunes of Pakistan
00:14:22 I've asked you all here
00:14:32 You disappeared.
00:14:34 Well, they weren't
00:14:36 It's a traditional
00:14:39 You think they might be
00:14:40 if they could just get women and booze
00:14:44 I think they'd be a whole
00:14:46 if the Communists got out.
00:14:47 "Zia did not kill Bhutto. "
00:14:50 That's not something you usually
00:14:54 He didn't, Charlie. Bhutto had
00:14:57 Shocking verdict.
00:15:00 What did you need
00:15:03 Joanne, darling,
00:15:07 What?
00:15:10 whose support we need.
00:15:12 It's luncheons like this that
00:15:14 This thing is not gonna get
00:15:17 in the Houstonian Hotel.
00:15:19 It's gonna get done by the
00:15:22 and it's gonna get
00:15:24 Now, you start making
00:15:25 we're trying to convert
00:15:28 I was saved by Jesus Christ,
00:15:31 My fervor is not about religion,
00:15:34 which we have, they want,
00:15:35 and the Communists
00:15:38 And I get it.
00:15:42 Well, I can't modulate
00:15:45 You can try.
00:15:47 Now, I got to get back to D.C. They've
00:15:51 On what?
00:15:56 Afghanistan's barely
00:15:58 There's no phones or roads
00:16:00 It's likely that a villager
00:16:02 without having contact with another
00:16:05 unless he was going
00:16:07 Now, my thinking is instead
00:16:09 we concentrate on several elite
00:16:13 Give these guys
00:16:15 20 different courses covering
00:16:18 And do you have anybody
00:16:19 The most successful rebels
00:16:22 They're called the United Front
00:16:25 We've earmarked them
00:16:27 and 10 to 15 agency advisors
00:16:30 Who's their leader?
00:16:33 He's Tajik, so he's not well
00:16:37 So the... What, the Tajiks have
00:16:40 Well, they say when a Tajik
00:16:42 his first choice is always
00:16:46 It's funnier in
00:16:49 All right, I've heard enough.
00:16:53 All right, don't fuck
00:16:56 Awesome pep talk.
00:16:57 Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan
00:17:02 these are all totalitarian
00:17:05 And they'd like to blow the only democracy
00:17:09 Now, you heard me say that
00:17:12 Oh, well, Zvi Rafiah's
00:17:15 These people are draconian thugs,
00:17:19 between the Communists
00:17:22 it's 6-to-5 and pick them,
00:17:23 No, you're wrong about that, Doc,
00:17:26 In Pakistan, a blind girl gets
00:17:30 Now, in Pakistan it takes
00:17:32 So the rapist walks away
00:17:35 Can you tell me why?
00:17:36 Well, fornication.
00:17:39 Mr. Chairman, President Zia is the
00:17:42 of actively training
00:17:46 while Egypt
00:17:47 Now, the Saudis are matching
00:17:50 That's right. So when
00:17:52 you're really talking
00:17:54 Only 40 from us.
00:17:55 You want to put $80 million
00:17:57 No, see, Doc, now, if you took
00:17:59 you'd stop calling them
00:18:01 They are farmers and children mostly,
00:18:05 I know. And that should
00:18:06 I know. It should be
00:18:08 to sit on the bench while little kids
00:18:12 Now, all you have to do to
00:18:15 in the Committee,
00:18:16 I'm sorry, Charlie, but doubling
