Everything you face
in life, everything you
come up against,

everything that stands in your
way, your foes,

your fears,

your darkest nights,

are all sent to ask you
the same question,

"Who are you?"

Mr. Tabir is very busy
this morning.

Oh, I can imagine.

Seems we are waiting.

Why don'’t you practice
a little pitch on me?

Actually, if it'’s all
the same, I'’ll just-

I know all
my uncle'’s business.

He trusts me.

Begin.

Okay. Well, I'’m sure
you'’re aware, Mr.--

You'’re aware that recently
your subsidiary,

Signal Olio Chemicals,

developed an organic
ester-based lubricant
derived from Kernel Oil

that makes offshore drilling
significantly more
environmental.

My company knows those-

You'’re American?

Canadian, actually,
from Toronto.

You'’re a Maple Leaf fan?

No, not really.

You must be the only person from
Toronto who'’s not a hockey fan.

Oh, I'’m a fan.

Dad'’s from Vancouver,
so I'’m a Canuck.

Between us,
the Maple Leafs suck.

They should never have signed
Mark Bowen. The guy is a
liability on and off the ice.

So, who'’s your team?

I don'’t like hockey.

Oh.

Unfortunately, Mr. Tabir has
no window this morning.

But tonight he extends
an invitation to a private
reception at his residence.

Are you sure?
I really don'’t wish
to intrude.

Come,

to the party.

Thank you.
That'’s great.

Thanks, George.

Oh, would you excuse me
for one minute?

Mr. Tabir, Jessica McDowell.

Thank you for inviting me
to your beautiful home.

What can I do for you?

Well, I was wondering if you had
time to glance at my proposal

which would allow us a signal
access to our current
petro-chemical service partners.

Essentially, it would--

Excuse me.
I have to attend to something.

I have something to
take care of.

I was waiting
for Mr. Tabir.

My uncle had to leave.

He asked me to
drive you to his club.

You can have
your meeting there.

Ms. McDowell,

my uncle believes trust
is something you earn.

He doesn'’t trust people
until he knows them

very, very well.

Why are we stopping?

Relax, Canada.

We are friends,
we are going to do business.

Don'’t touch me.

I'’m not asking.

Do you know who I am?

I know exactly who
you are, Hafiz.

How do you know my name?

The car was
swept an hour ago.

Do not get out.
If you get out of this car,
I can'’t protect you.

Who are you?

-Let go off my arm please,
-Who are you?

Now!

Your uncle is in business
with Abu Domar Khan.

Khan has made contact
with a terror organization

via an aid agency
in Pakistan.

They are seeking materials
to build a weapon.

That'’s bullshit.

Your brother is
in Kalutara jail
in Colombo

facing execution
for trafficking.

We can help him.

We need information about your
uncle. Contacts. Shipments.

If you help us,
we help you.

If you don'’t,
your brother dies,

and tomorrow you'’re sitting
next to your uncle
in a cell in Thailand,

and it won'’t be me
asking the questions.

No. No, you can'’t help him.

We can help him, Hafiz.
Listen to me.

Because I promise you one thing.

Right now, you have no idea
what we can and cannot do.

You'’ll get a call
at 8:00 AM.

You'’ll be asked if
you need a cleaner.

You want her to come
three mornings per week.
Do you understand?

I said,
do you understand?

Tonight I want to take
a few minutes to discuss
a grave threat to peace,

and America'’s determination
to lead the world

in confronting that threat.

The decision has been made
to increase the threat condition

designation currently classified
at Elevated Risk

to increase that
threat condition designation

to the High Risk category.

9/11 and its aftermath

awakened this nation to danger,

to the true ambitions of
the global terror network.

The state police are
investigating an Anthrax scare.

Threatening letters with
a white substance.

The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission has placed the
nation'’s nuclear plants

on their highest
level of security.

A terrorist attack
is now highly likely.

What do we know of
the September 11?

We know that these
terrorist networks

will use any means they can
to cause maximum death
and destruction.

And we will take
whatever action is necessary

to defend our freedom
and our security.

America strikes back.

Afghanistan is pounded
with bombs and missiles

from the air and from sea.

American-led military attacks
against targets

throughout Afghanistan
continue tonight.

Slow down for like 400 yards.

And yet I'’m incredible in bed.

They are targeting
both Osama bin Laden'’s
training camps

and Taliban military.

Listen,
Steve and I are not going
on the same plane together.

We'’re not even going
to take a train together.

We took the train to your mom'’s.

It only takes one to fly
into a nuclear power plant.

- Disney World.
-One.

A sarin attack
on Disney World.

Yeah, but whatever
they'’re telling us,

we'’re totally vulnerable.
I mean, who is protecting us?

Would you take the risk of
taking your kids to Disney World
right now?

Absolutely not.

I'’d be terrified of
exposing my children

to what adds up to
a clearing house
for crap merchandise

and disappointing rides.

Joe thinks Disney World
is Vegas for kids.

So, Valerie, what do you do?

I work in venture capital.
Brewster Jennings,
here in Georgetown.

Oh, cool.
Like net start-ups?

Exactly.
Retail consumer.

We create pooled
investment vehicles.

It'’s actually pretty boring.

You get on a plane.

Two guys in turbans,

seats 1-A, 1-B.

They look nervous,
they'’re sweating,

they'’re sweaty, and they're
saying prayers.

What do you do?
Steve, you have a kid, right?
You'’re off that plane.

You'’re calling the cops.
if we'’re honest, we all are.
Joe?

You know you are.

I mean, come one, you see these
two guys on a plane.

Turbans. Sweating. Prayers.
The whole thing.

What do you say?
What'’s the call?

Well, Jeff--

He started it.

Yes, every time.
Every time we go out.

He asked me a question,
I gave him a fully
considered response.

He was drunk, Joe.
Everybody'’s had a hard day.

They'’re just trying
to let off steam.

By invoking quasi-racist
conundra? He'’s a parent.

Is he teaching his four year old
to fear all men in turbans?

It'’s Diana's birthday.

Jeff'’s her oldest friend.

So?

So you can'’t call him
a racist pussy.

It'’s not funny, Joe.

No, it'’s not funny.
It'’s a very serious subject.

If by not keeping quiet when
someone spouts obnoxious crap

makes you an asshole,
then I'’m an asshole.

And you knew that
when you married me.

How was your trip?

No. Oh, God.

No...

Hey, you cheated.

No, I didn'’t.
It'’s a tie.

Valerie, where'’s Kim?

She can'’t get
here until after lunch.
Didn'’t I tell you?

Okay. I guess I will be
working at home this morning.

Is that okay?

Yeah. Me and
Spongebob got it.

Break it up. Trevor,
don'’t hit your sister.

Listen, the Mitchells want
to have dinner on Tuesday.

But if you want to skip it...

I promise I'’ll behave.

I promise to behave.

See, everyone'’s on
their best behavior.

I love you.

I'’ll see you.

Bye.

Bye.

Say, "Bye, Mommy"

Bye.

Bye, Mom.

Bye, Mom.

Do you guys want to watch
some television?

- Yes.
-Okay.

Counter Proliferation
tracks and thwarts

nuclear and WMD acquisition

by rogue nations
and non-state actors.

We'’re the fastest growing
division within the Agency,

which sounds cool, but you may
have to share a desk.

-Hafiz hired a cleaner.
-Got to go.

Kuala Lumpur just went live.

-What time did he call this in?
-1100 hours Zulu time.

The asset passed the intel to
the cleaner at approximately
8:15 local time this morning.

She made the drop 50 minutes
later, just outside Korean
subway station.

The field team
picked it up and D&D'’d it
at the safe house.

We have a shipment.

A holding company in Pakistan
asks Tabir to purchase 200
un-identified units,

trackable by part numbers,
from--

TFH Electronics of
Lowell, Massachusetts.

The shipment
is delivered to Goza Tech
in Secaucus, New Jersey.

There it'’s bundled in
with a second shipment of
legitimate electronic parts,

and documentation attached
that masks its point of origin.

It'’s then dispatched as
medical electronics on route

to a company in Johannesburg.

First, it spends the night
at a bonded customs warehouse
in the Port of Jersey.

That'’s the intercept.

Can I help you?

Sir, we'’re from US customs.

Can I take a moment
of your time?

Okay, sure.
Come on in.

What the hell is that?

A spark gap is a high
energy voltage-controlled
switching device.

To detonate a nuclear bomb,
you need to be able to switch
high voltage,

high current electrical
circuits at very high speeds

to the nearest of
one hundredth of a nanosecond.

The extremely short rise times
are achieved by discharging

a low-induct,
high-voltage capacitor
through the spark gap

and into the bridge wire
inside the warhead.

The ballpark is five kilovolt
and one MF for the capacitor,

with a peak current between
500 and a 1000 amperes.

Does it have other uses?

High speed photography,
industrial photo-chemistry.

Zapping kidney stones.

If your question is,
is someone out there

building a fire train
to a nuclear device
component by component,

you'’re talking one hell
of a complicated process.

This guy is just
one tiny piece in the jigsaw.

Here is a list of other
components exported

through the same network
over the last three years.

Tilt tables. Timing equipment.
High speed monitoring devices.

Quartz rate sensors.

Calibration units.

It'’s not kidney stones.

Thank God you stopped this.

I'’m not stopping it.

Okay, so we keep the transaction
live. Trace it all the way to
the end user.

The shipment arrives in Joburg
on the 21st.

It'’s put in
an unmarked container

and shipped to the Jebel free
trade zone in Dubai. Here.

Dr. Jonas and his team
at Los Alamos have altered
the impedance timings

of the spark gaps by
a fraction of a nanosecond.

Val, Chief wants to see you.

I'’ll shut it down.

Why? We have everything,
we are ready to go.

We have actual intel
on the buyer.

Sargin Vaziri,
Syrian National.

Based out of Karachi.
On a wire picked up in Cairo,

he talks about nuclear
componentry from a known
source in Pakistan.

He'’s moving to
an unnamed Gulf state.

It could be Iraq?

Vaziri is devoutly Shia.

Iraq is controlled
by Sunni.

Saddam is Sunni.
There'’s no way this is Iraq.

Seventh floor issued a directive
for a joint task force on Iraq.

I want you to head up
operations.

Congratulations,
Valerie.

Thank you.

You can pick your own team.
This is top priority.

I need 24 hours to brief
my replacement.

Shut it down.

From Monday,
I need your both eyes on Iraq.

Yes, sir.

This is coming from
across the river.

Down the line, DFU.

"DFU"?

Don'’t fuck up.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

You can put it there.

Hey.

Don'’t you have
a home to go to?

I thought this went away.

DIA released
the report Tuesday.

WINPAC aren'’t buying
and State kicked it back,

but it'’s still making waves
in the Vice President'’s office.

You think Joe could do it?

Well, he'’s qualified.

He'’s been there
hundreds of times.

He knows the arena
inside out.

Great.

Could you put his
credentials in a memo?

I want to kick it
up the ladder.

You don'’t look overjoyed.

Joe'’s been working hard
to build his business.

Then there'’s the twins. Money
is kind of tight right now.

He'’s helped us before.

Could you just
ask him to come in?

Hey, Joe?

Hey. Nice place
you got here. Cozy.

I need to get you cleared.

You work
in the basement?

Actually, I work in Georgetown
at Brewster Jennings.

We'’re a small firm
of venture capitalists.

Well, that must be
interesting work.

It pays the rent.

-Come in.

Joe, this is Jack.

-Hi, Joe Wilson.
-Deputy Chief of CPD.

It'’s a pleasure, Ambassador.

-Hi, Joe Wilson.
-Ambassador.

I'’ll leave you guys to it.

-Joe Wilson.
- Morning, Ambassador.

How are you? Joe Wilson.

Hello.

Joe Wilson, hi.

Have a seat.

Can I get you something
to drink?

Coffee would be great,
thank you.

How do you like it?

Just black, thanks.

Ambassador Wilson, what do
you know about yellowcake?

-Yellowcake uranium?
-Mm-hm.

I believe it'’s a concentrate
made from uranium ore

that'’s used in the fissile
material for weapons programs.

But I'’m not a scientist.

-Thank you.
- What about Niger?

I usually pronounce it Niger

to avoid confusion with Nigeria.

The UN Human Development Index
rates it the least livable
country in the world.

I started
my Foreign Service there.

I visited many times
as Ambassador to Gabon.

And then, again,

as Director of Africa Policy
for President Clinton,

with the NSC.

I'’ve often met with
Prime Minister Mayaki.

I know the former
foreign minister.

I know the Minister of Mines.
I know the country very well.

The Office of the Vice President
has received a report

concerning a memorandum of sale

between the governments
of Niger and Iraq

for the purchase of 500 tons
of yellowcake uranium ore.

I don'’t have to tell you
how serious this allegation is.

No, sir you don'’t.

This is a request from
the vice president'’s office.

Can you help us?

What do you have in mind?

Hello.

How can Niger help
with his old friend,
America?

In summer 2001,

Iraq started to purchase
60,000 high alloy
7075 T-6 aluminum tubes

manufactured in China.

The high spec of these tubes
led us to conclude

that they were intended
for the enrichment of uranium

and, as such, provide proof
that Saddam is building
a nuclear bomb.

In August 2001, Jay Turner,
that'’s me, flew to Vienna

to meet with
the IAEA scientists.

I produced this report,

aspects of which represents
the CIA'’s present position.

I'’m happy to take questions.

The INR concluded
late last year that

these tubes are probably
for artillery use

and the deal we agreed exactly
matched those used by Iraq

-for artillery rockets.
- Where are the tubes?

WINPAC has them.

We'’ve examined them
and this is my point.

None of you guys
have even seen the tubes.

I'’ve seen them.

And, uh, when was that?

When I led the covert team
that intercepted them in Jordan,

brought back samples
and delivered them to you guys
that were in PAC.

And I take it you'’re
not a nuclear expert.

These tubes are a match

for those designed
by German scientist,

Gernot Zippe, in the 50s.

You'’re right. I'm no nuclear
expert but Dr. Houston Wood,

at the University of Virginia
atomic facility is.

He also knows Dr. Zippe

and he told him that the wall
thickness of the Iraqi tubes

was three or four times
the thickness of his design.

Right, and he also said
that the length of the tubes

is twice that
of Zippe'’s design.

In fact, he said that the only
thing that was similar between

his tubes and
the aluminum tubes

was that they were
both made of aluminum.

A metal that hasn'’t been used
in gas centrifuges since 1952.

I went to Vienna, okay?

Canada, and I'’ve been working
on this for months.

They'’re centrifuges, fact.

Okay. So basically,

they'’re your tubes

and if we don'’t let you win
you'’re taking them home.

That'’s pathetic.

Joe, no one'’s
saying you'’re wrong here,

but if you'’re right,
it'’s huge.

So, we ask
the question, right?

We have to ask the question.

Niger has two uranium
mines in the Sahara Desert.

One'’s flooded, the other is run
by Kojima, a French subsidiary

jointly controlled
by the Japanese and Germans.

500 tons of yellowcake

is not an off-the-books
size transaction.

It represents a 40%
production increase

in the nation'’s
annual output of uranium.

A sale that size
would leave a huge paper trail.

Any documentation would,
by law, have to be signed

by the Prime Minister,

Foreign Minister
and the Minister of Mines.

But say it was an
off the books deal.

How do you hide
the transportation of
500 tons of anything,

let alone lightly
refined uranium?

You'’re talking
50 semi-tractor trucks

on one road through villages
where nothing passed for months

except maybe one bush taxi.

It would be the biggest
event for months.

To say they forgot,
it'’s like kids
forgetting Christmas.

You have the droughts
of the 70s and the 80s

which brought millions
of dollars in US aid,
which continues today.

It doesn'’t make any sense

that the Nigerians
would compromise that life line.

So, for that reason,

for all the reasons
that I'’ve been telling you,

it is my opinion that this sale
could not have happened.

So,
what happens next?

Well, they write a report,
give it to the analysts,

it'’ll be rewritten
then kicked upstairs

and combined
with other reports they get.

What?

I just think it'’s ludicrous
that they'’re gonna send somebody

all the way over there,
spend all that money
for the same conclusion.

Well, you can'’t compile
intelligence from
a single source.

That'’s not intelligence,
that'’s an opinion.

Trust me, it'’s a fact.

- Says who?
- Says me.

You'’re just a teeny-weeny
tiny cog in a giant machine.

You did your job. You should
feel good, they count on that.

That'’s why they don't pay you.

I'’m not feeling very 007-ish.

Maybe I can get the
kids to make a medal for you.

Us 00s prefer
gratuitous sex.

Maybe I can...

do something
about that.

Mmm!

- Mm?
-Mm-hmm.

Bengal is holding
another round of bidding

on their deepwater offshore
blocks at the end of the year.

Chevron, Elf and Exxon
are interested.

Okay. Buddy, you okay?
Four arms, four legs,
no broken bones.

Hey kids. Mr. Wilson,
I'’m so sorry I'm late.

That'’s fine.
Look, guys, Kim'’s here.

When is Mommy coming home?

It'’s an honor
to meet you at last.

I was unable to attend your
training seminar at MIT,

but I read a transcript.

Did you read my latest
paper on quarks?

Dr. Harper, I cite your
1995 essay more than once.

Dr. Harper'’s in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.

She received a call yesterday

requesting she stay home
for 48 hours.

I don'’t understand.

Who are you?

I'’m sorry for misleading you,

but I'’m here to ask
you the same question

because you'’re not
Professor Baddoui.

Your name is
Dr. Tarrif Al Falari.

You were born in Basra.

You were lead engineer at
the Osirak nuclear facility

until you fled Iraq and
arrived here in Cairo.

I need names of your colleagues
in the weapons programs.

The lives of hundreds
of thousands of your people
may depend upon it.

This is absurd!

You were never
tortured... broken.

You didn'’t finally escape
and arrive here in Cairo
with nothing.

No, my name is Bahkrat Baddoui.

I have never been to Basra.
I'’m a teacher.

Dr. Falari had two daughters.

They were taken by
Uday Hussein'’s private guard.

They were never seen again.

I need names of your colleagues
in the weapons programs.

Why is the OVP here?

What?

Yeah?

The Vice President'’s men
are here.

What?

My name is
Scooter Libby.

I am the chief of staff
to the vice president.

You are?

Dave.

I'’m... an analyst
in nonproliferation.

What can you tell
the Vice President
about aluminum tubes?

I didn'’t realize that
this is what we we'’re going
to be talking about here.

Relax, will you? The Veep'’s
just dotting the "I"s.

Oh, come on Jim. The only time
the Vice President comes
to Langley is to cut a ribbon.

Cheney doesn'’t trust us.
This shit in the creek
goes back 30 years.

It'’ll blow over.

Hey, Val, where
are we on Iraq?

We need to find sources
that we can rely on.

We need to get in close.

Jim, I think she can get us
inside the weapons program.

How?

In three weeks you'’ll
have to come back again.

Come on.

I said come on!

Dr. Hassan, is there
somewhere we could talk?

How long is it since
you saw your brother?

1992.

Before that, in '’83 he came here
for an engineering conference.

Twice in 25 years.

We tried to stay in contact.
It'’s difficult.

Would you like to
go back and see him?

You want me to become a spy?

We need to ask Hammad
some questions.

Do you think he'’d answer?

I am a doctor. I work hard,
I'’m also a mother.

I have a small daughter
and I'’m all she has.

We could help
your brother.

Right now he'’s extremely
valuable to us.

And to Saddam.

And Mukhbarat watch him
night and day.

He could come here.

He'’s an expert physicist.
He'’d have a job.

His children and his
family would be safe.

You and your daughter could
see him whenever you want.

Can you help us?

I will not do anything to help
you. I don'’t know you.

If you care about Iraq,
about your country.

My country is America now.

Trust me. If there was
another way to do this.

I don'’t trust you.
I don'’t trust you at all.

Zahraa...

we'’re going to war

and your brother will be
right in the middle of it.

If the Iraqi
regime wishes peace,

it will immediately and
unconditionally forswear,

disclose and remove or destroy

all weapons of mass destruction.

- Yeah, come in.

They'’re back.

If Iraq'’s regime defies
us again, the world must move
deliberately,

decisively to hold Iraq
to account.

Don'’t make jokes.

He thinks I don'’t understand
how serious it is?

Weeks and weeks of 15-hour days.

We'’ve been back over
this and over this.

All right. That'’s it.
I'’m going to handle this.

We'’ve been over this data with
you, five, six times now

and we don'’t know how you
want us to play this.

Let me level with you, Paul.

I don'’t know what
these tubes are for.

There could be
something to this,

from everything you'’re saying
but very likely not, right?

Exactly.

May I ask you a question?

When you say we don'’t
really know how to play
this, what do you mean?

I mean to say that I don'’t know
how to say it in any other way--

Except you didn'’t say,
"I", you said, "We."

So, you and the others
have discussed how to
play these briefings.

Why does the CIA feel the need
to play these briefings?

No, no. What I mean is--
Okay. Look, I didn'’t mean
what I just said.

Which part? The last part?
Or other things too?

I'’m sorry, I'm getting
a little confused.

You want me to come back?

No. God, no.

You don'’t know why
I'’m here, do you?

In 1991, the United
States invaded Iraq

and after which weapons
inspectors discovered

Saddam was six months
off enriching uranium

to sufficiently high
specification to
make a nuclear bomb.

He had fissile material, and
not a single person in the CIA

had the slightest clue that
such a program even existed.

So, now, one decade on,

are you telling me
that you'’re 100% sure

these tubes are not intended
to create nuclear weapons?

One point about intelligence,
nothing is 100%.

So what? Are you 99% sure? 98%?

I'’m saying that you can't put
an exact figure out of it.

I'’m saying that you
cannot-- Excuse me.

You cannot be that precise.

Could you say
that you'’re 97% sure?

Is there'’s a three percent
chance you'’ve got this wrong?

Or four or five?

It'’s still pretty good odds.
Do you like those odds, Paul?

You willing to put your name to
that? Ready to make that call?

Actually, I don'’t make
that call.

Yes, you do, Paul.

Each time you interpret
a piece of data.

Each time you choose
a "maybe" over a "perhaps",

you make a call, a decision.

Right now, you'’re making
a lot of little decisions

adding up to a big decision,

but what if there'’s only a
one percent chance you'’re wrong?

Can you say for sure
that you'’ll take that chance

and state, as a fact,

that this equipment
is not intended

for a nuclear weapons
program?

Do you know what one percent
of the population
of this country is?

It'’s 3,240,000 souls.

Okay. Sir, look,
we'’re not machines,

we look at the evidence,
we game it out.

And, believe it or not,

not everybody agrees all
the time. It'’s a process.

-It'’s a process...
-Yes.

...and not everyone agrees.

Exactly.

Who doesn'’t agree?

What the heck is Joe Turner
doing next to the DCI?

Didn'’t you hear? On Friday, the
DCI took him to the White House.

He briefed the President
on aluminum tubes.

You fucking kidding me.

Ready, aim, fire.

It'’s a dead end. So you
got a list of Iraqi scientists.

How do you suggest
we get to them?

The Mukhabarat watch the
scientists night and day there.

Their houses are bugged,
their friends are followed.

Send in a team of NOCs
by taxi from the north.

Say you get through the
checkpoints and roadblocks.

If you show up in my bedroom
in the dead of night

asking me to help out Uncle Sam,

I'’m going to react
unpredictably.

Given the theater,
it'’s all too high-risk.

Even if we get to them,
they won'’t come out alone.

They'’ll want to bring
their family, their children,
their kids.

We'’ll get down south to Basra,
we'’ll ask for Jordan's help.

Give me two months.
I'’ll give you two or three.

No, I have 29 names.
I need to get to them all.

The wall'’s too high, Val.

What do you want to do,
train a mouse?

Maybe.

Hey.
Did I wake you?

Yeah, um...

I have to go.

I got to be at the airport
in 45 minutes.

It'’s 3:45 in the morning.

Look, I didn'’t want to wake you.

Do we need childcare tomorrow?

I left it
a Post-it on the fridge.

It'’s all on the Post-it.

Yeah, of course.
It'’s on the Post-it.

Are you OK?

I don'’t know where you go.

Who you meet.

If you'’re in jail somewhere.

If you'’re in a ditch somewhere
in Jordan, Beirut.

If you went missing,
I couldn'’t tell anybody

because you were never there.

I'’d never know
what happened to you.

I don'’t know where you go.

I'’m going to Cleveland.

I'’ll be home tonight.

It'’s...

It'’s on the Post-it.

Have a good day.

You have two of
these in your luggage.

This is the only pen
we want you to use.

The ink on this pen is
visible for 10 seconds.

Only when given
the correct chemical fixative
can it be read.

If the Mukhabarat see any of
this they will do things to me

that you cannot imagine.

Tell me what you need to know.
I will memorize it.

We have 50 very specific
questions, some extremely
technical.

You have 206 bones in your body.

Do you want their names
in English, Latin or Arabic?

How do you feel?

If anyone stops you,
if anyone asks you anything...

stay calm.

You'’re just visiting
your brother.

Keep it simple.

How do you do it?

Lie to someone
to their face.

Huh?

You have to know.

Know why you'’re lying and
never forget the truth.

It'’s time.

Ready?

Mukhabarat, watching the
flight desk on this side.

You will get different
estimates

about precisely how
close he is.

We do know that there have been
shipments going into Iraq,

for instance, of aluminum tubes
that really are only suited

for nuclear weapons programs,

centrifuge programs.

There will always
be some uncertainty

about how quickly he can
acquire a nuclear weapon,

but we don'’t want the smoking
gun to be a mushroom cloud.

-Equipment he needs to be
able to enrich uranium.
- It'’s a coordinated
leak.

Somebody in the OBP leaked the
story to theNew York Times.

Smoking gun, mushroom clouds.

They'’re using the same words.

-It'’s a coordinated leak.
-I'’m coming home.

We have
been able to intercept and
prevent him from acquiring,

through this particular
channel,

the kinds of tubes
that are necessary
to build a centrifuge.

I always close the door.
I always roll up the window.

Yeah, but you can smell it.

What would you have me do,
roll up a towel

and hide in a room like
a teenager smoking
or sand bag my study?

Just go out on the deck.

It'’s minus-10 degrees outside.

Steve, help me.
You'’re missing the whole point.

A cigar gives out
the Winston Churchill vibe,

the slippers,
the crackling fire.

Crackling fire.

Musty books,
like a faithful dog.

You don'’t want to be
outside in a goose down,

freezing your balls off
while in the dark.

So, don'’t think Churchill.

Think Scott of the Antarctic.

All right.
I quit.

Can I ask a dumb question?
What is an aluminum tube?

It'’s a centrifuge
to make uranium.

They do know what they'’re for.
Come on.

Have you read about this,
Valerie?

Oh, I was away last week
on business.

Basically, Saddam bought these
tubes and we nailed him.

I mean, we have them and
they'’re packed with uranium.

They'’re packed with uranium?

-They'’re packed with uranium!
-Jet packed with uranium!

-My expert husband.
-Right.

So they'’re for purifying,
but the bomb comes later.

Basically, you boil it up and
you make the big one, right?

No. Says who?
It'’s a bunch of tubes, Jeff.

Everything you read
in The New York Times,
you'’re right.

Joe, you know
about this stuff.
What'’s your hunch on this?

I don'’t know anything about
tubes. I'’m not qualified.

-I think the question--
-It'’s a pretext.

I mean, 50% of Americans think
Saddam blew up the towers.

I agree with that.
- You can'’t say
that he'’s not a threat.

If we got rid of Hitler
in the 30s.

He'’s not Hitler. I'm sorry.
He'’s not a Hitler.

-He'’s Saddam.
We put him there.
- He'’s evil.

Why? He'’s our fault!
He always was.
He'’s not a threat.

Have you met him, Fred?
Have you met Saddam?

Has Saddam looked you
in the eye and threatened you?

Has he threatened to kill you?

You don'’t know what
you'’re talking about.

Well, I think that'’s
probably true.

I'’m guilty of part of that.

Dessert? Coffee?
Any takers?

I'’m going to help you.
It was delicious.

He'’s making
a separate point.

Obviously, this needs
to go elsewhere.

We have a rule in our house,
no politics at the table.

It always ends in a squabble.

Nobody knows what'’s
going on over there.

At the end of the day,
who really knows?

That'’s right, Sue.

Who knows?

Ahmed!

Cuckoo.

They have given me
questions for you.

What questions?

How close is your
program to a warhead?

When and where is the
first test scheduled?

How much 235-grade
uranium do you have?

Identify other scientists
of the program.

Who in the military
controls the program?

Which of the...

Which...

What is it?

They don'’t know?

What, Hammad?

The program was completely
destroyed in the '’90s.

The Americans destroyed
it and they know this.

What else?

How advanced is
the centrifuge facility?

Which method are you using
to separate fissile isotopes?

This is insane.

We don'’t have the spare parts
to keep a tank on the road.

I have to work at a plant
which develops fertilizer
and they know.

They know this,

they must know.

You need to see this.

We need to get Jack
to see this and Bill.

Ambassador Wilson was
the last American official

to meet with Saddam Hussein.

It was 1990, and it was
a pretty scary time.

Saddam had threatened
that he was going to execute

anybody sheltering people
he called foreigners.

Ambassador Wilson called
a press conference

and appeared with a noose
around his neck

and he said, the press reports,

"If the choice
is to allow Americans

to be taken as hostages
or to be executed,

I'’ll bring my own fucking rope."

Saddam backed down

and Ambassador Wilson helped
get thousands safely home.

When he himself came home
to the United States,

he was warmly greeted
by our President

who took him to
the Oval Office

and introduced him to the war
cabinet as an American hero.

That'’s not quite right,
it was the Roosevelt Room

not the Oval Office but...

In the middle, please.

Does Saddam pose an imminent
threat to national security?

Zahraa'’s brother worked
with 500 nuclear scientists

at the South factory.

In '’91 it was blanket
boomed by B52s.

Hussain Kamal kept
the scientists together,

threatening to kill them
if they tried to leave.

But sanctions destroyed
the economy

and when Kamal was
executed in '’95,

the team just
drifted apart.

They'’re all saying
the same thing.

Everyone. There'’s no
weapons program.

You got
30 nuclear scientists

interrogated by Iraqis in Iraq
all saying the same thing.

Jim, these people
took a great risk.

To bring us what?

I could have saved us
the airfare.

The White House is
getting stoved-piped.

Someone is cherry-picking
raw data and serving it
up to the press as fact.

Then they look to us
to confirm it.
It'’s bullshit.

One of Saddam'’s
ministers asked him

why he had executed
a certain official

who had been
a loyal supporter.

Saddam said, "I would rather
kill my friends in error

than to allow my enemies
to live."

For me, that'’s the
mark of a monster.

Vice President Cheney,

members of Congress,

distinguished citizens
and fellow citizens.

Every year by law and
by custom we meet here

to consider the state
of the union.

-Thank you so much.
-You'’re welcome.

Oh, we'’d like you to have
this coffee mug and some
pennants for your kids.

-Oh, thank you.
-Thank you so much for
coming and speaking to us.

Thank you.
Drive safe out there.

Today, the greatest
danger in the world,

the greatest danger facing
America and the world...

Black eye to go.

-Uh, what'’s...
-Two shots espresso coffee.

-Black coffee.
- ...biological weapons.

US intelligence indicates
that Saddam Hussein had upwards

-of 30,000 munitions capable
of delivering chemical agents.
-Thank you.

From three Iraqi defectors,
we know that Iraq

in the late 1990'’s had several
global biological weapons labs.

Saddam Hussein had
an advanced nuclear weapons
development program...

had a design for
a nuclear weapon,

and was working
on five different methods

of enriching uranium
for a bomb.

The British government has
learned Saddam Hussein

recently sought
significant quantities
of uranium from Africa.

Our intelligence sources
tell us that he'’s attempted

to purchase high strength
aluminum tubes

suitable for
nuclear weapons production.

This nation fights reluctantly
because we know the cost.

We dread the days of
mourning that always come.

We seek peace,

we strive for peace

and sometimes peace
must be defended.

In Baghdad this morning...

...missiles and bunker buster
bombs from F117s...

were aimed at Iraq'’s piers.

...called Shock and Awe.

And he vowed
the US will accept
no outcome but victory.

Bill, wait up.

Every team is combing
the desert looking for WMD.

-I can'’t.
-All I need is
a couple of units--

We don'’t have
the resources, Val.

-I need to get these
families and any men--
-Listen to me. Will you listen?

-Let'’s say we extract
these guys, okay?
-Come on, Bill!

We bring them home
and put them on CNN,

what do you think they'’re going
to tell us that the White House
wants to hear, huh?

"Thank you. Oh, and by the way,
there was no nuclear program.

There is no WMD.
P.S. You all knew that."

Think about it.
You want me to go to DCI, ask
him to sign off his own funeral?

Bill, I gave my word.

That'’s not my problem.
I got bigger problems.

It'’s like if there was a baby
on the ledge up on seventh,

no one would get up
and save it in case
the White House wanted it there.

Bill'’s right.

This is just one snafu in 1,000
that we have right now.

-These scientists are not--
-These scientists are the WMD.

If we can'’t protect them,

they'’ll run straight to
the first country who can
and they'’ll put them to work.

I never said this.

If anyone ever asks,
I'’ll deny all knowledge.

How quietly can you do this?

I need to know
my family will be safe.

My wife, my children
we'’re all in danger.

Hammad, I know that.

We'’ll take care of your family,
but we have to move fast, okay?

How do I know
I can trust you?

Hammad, listen to me.
Do exactly as I say.

We won'’t let you down.

US military has
reported the death of another
five US soldiers on Wednesday.

One soldier died
after being struck by a bomb
while on foot patrol.

Reported killed
across the country.

Official Iraqi figures
show that 966...

The British government
has learned that
Saddam Hussein recent--

--significant quantities
of uranium--
from Africa.

The British government has
learned that Saddam Hussein
recently sought

significant quantities
of uranium from Africa.

Listen, Pete, I want to ask you
something. It'’s very important.

Is it possible that
the President is referring

to another African country,
not Niger?

I'’ve seen the INR.
It'’s Niger.

He'’s referring specifically
to yellowcake from Niger. Why?

I'’m the source.
I went to Niger.

It'’s wrong.
It'’s not true.

I see.

What exactly are you
proposing to do?

I don'’t know what
I'’m going to do.

You want my advice?
Do nothing.

You already did your job.
You did your best, you came
home, end of story.

We'’re talking about Niger,
yellowcake from Niger.

Look, I don'’t have to go
all the way to Africa to know
something'’s messed up here.

Three months and
what have we found?

No centrifuges, no yellowcake,
no bio, no WMDs.

You think something'’s up here?
Join the line.

It stretches all the way from
State to the Pentagon and back.

So why hasn'’t anybody
stepped forward?

Why you think, Joe?

We went to war.

Listen,

as your friend now,

just be smart.

You have a wife and a family.

We'’re talking about the
President of the United States.

The White House.

Now go take a long look in
the mirror and say that again.

What'’s wrong?

Nothing.

I'’m just tired.

Are the kids asleep?

Yeah, they'’re asleep.

Okay, good.

I'’m going to go up.

There are some
who feel like the conditions

are such that they can
attack us there.

My answer is, bring them on.

We'’ve got the force necessary

to deal with
the security situation.

There'’s zero, nada,
nothing new here.

I think the President'’s
statement at the State of
the Union goes much broader

than the Niger question.

Is the President'’s
statement correct?

Yes. I see nothing that goes
broader that would indicate

there was no basis for the
President'’s broader statement.

But, specifically
on the yellowcake,
the yellowcake from Niger,

we have acknowledged that
that did, in fact, turn out
to be a forgery.

- You believe
the British report is true.
-Oh, shit.

-I'’m sorry?
-The British report.

-Mark, clear my morning.
-It was wrong, then?

Let me do this, David.

On David'’s specific question,

I'’m going to come back
to you on that.

Fleischer plowed the briefing.

I saw.

CBS knows yellowcake
was pulled from Cincinnati

ten weeks ago
at the CIA'’s request.

They also had that Gerson
wrote both speeches.

Karl is looking for you.
He'’s unhappy.

I want a transcript
of everything across
network, blogs, and print

citing Ambassador Wilson,
Niger or yellowcake.

Tell Karl I'’ll be in my office
straight after I'’m done.

The 5th US Circuit Court
of Appeals...

This has become a trust issue
for the President,

we can'’t get behind on this.

We need to change the story.

Who is Joe Wilson?

David.

If someone works at the CIA

and they sent their spouse
on a trip,

would there be a paper trail?

Well, any such request
would require approval
from the chain of command.

From the requestor right up
to the Director of Operations,

but yes, paperwork would
normally be generated.

Okay.

Does the President have the
power to declassify information?

-Valerie?
-What?

"The CIA'’s decision
to send retired diplomat
Joseph C. Wilson to Africa"--

Further down.

"Wilson never worked
for the CIA but his wife,
Valerie Plame"--

"Is an agency operative on
weapons of mass destruction."

He just went ahead and did it.

Does this run overseas?

It'’s in the newspaper, Valerie.
It'’s on the net, it's...

-No, Novak'’s column.
Is he syndicated overseas?
-It'’s everywhere.

My God.

Jessica McDowell.
Maureen McDermott.

-I just flew in from Scotland.
- Valerie, what are
you doing?

Grace Dooley.
Terry Ross. Grace Semel.
Sigma Chemicals.

Paris. Milan. Vienna.

Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?

We need a matrix of everyone

you'’ve come into contact with
in a covert capacity.

-I'’ve already started a list.
-Good.

We need to get an idea, fast,
of how much this thing bleeds.

Sir, I have several live ops
at crucial stages.

People in the field in critical
windows of operation.

One thing at a time. Make
a list, then come back here.

Don'’t do anything else.

-Why is Internal Security here?
-To help us.

To help you and us conduct
this damage assessment.

Ms. Plame?
We'’re going this way.

The restroom.

Ms. Plame? Ms. Plame?

Ms. Plame?

Val? Val!

Jack, I'’ve got to get a message
to Baghdad. I'’ve got 15
scientists being taken

to the border today,
I have to get word to them.

I don'’t know what you're
talking about.

Jack, they'’re
packed and ready to go.

You know what this means.

-Sorry. I got to go.
- Ms. Plame.

Val, can I see you a minute?

Take a walk.

As of this morning,
all CPD operations involving you
have been suspended.

Effective immediately, you'’re
to have no further contact

with assets or agents
in the field.

Any further involvement
in operations

is no longer possible.

Bill, I have eight,
nine teams in the field.

We have assets in Kuala Lumpur,
Mumbai, Dubai.

I need to brief my replacement
in the Joint Task Force.

The head of the JTFI'’s identity
is classified for reasons
of operational security.

I have a critical operation
in Baghdad in a major ongoing--

Val, I'’m sorry.

It'’s over.

You were a good officer,
but...

it'’s over.

"Two senior
administration officials

told me that Wilson'’s wife
suggested sending him to Niger

to investigate
the Italian report."

This comes from
the Vice President, the Chief
of Staff or a top advisor.

- Mom!
-I got to go.

-Look at my picture.
-I will.

Trevor won'’t let me
borrow his Power Ranger.

Mommy!

- Did you say please?
-I said please.

There'’s a 1982 act
that says it'’s a crime
for a government official

to knowingly disclose
a covert agent.

It comes with a $50,000 fine
and/or up to 10 years in jail.

-Don'’t answer the phone. Do not.

Who have you spoken--
Joe? Please, don'’t.

-She is.
-Joe? Joe?

I'’m sorry, honey.
Are you okay?

She'’s right here.

It'’s Lisa.

-Hello?
-Okay, guys.

Valerie, your name
is in the paper.

It says you'’re
a CIA agent.

Look, I can'’t talk right now.

Well, I can'’t make a comment.

Look, I'’m going to call you
back tomorrow, okay?
I'’m really sorry.

-Oh, my God.
-Shit.

It'’s got to be true.

Your mom called.
Your uncle and Janey in Chicago.

I wrote it down there for you.

And Andrea Mitchell called.

She said White House
sources say

the real story is not
the 16 words,

but Joe Wilson and his wife.

Did I care to comment?

Well, I damn well do
care to comment

and she'’s asked me on the show
the day after tomorrow.

No.

You'’re not going on TV, Joe.

Thank you.

This was clearly designed
as a shot across the bow

for those who might
step forward,

those unnamed analysts who said
that pressure was put on them

by the White House, for example,
would think twice

about having their own
family'’s name dragged
through this particular mud.

I didn'’t prepare
for this moment.

I had no plan
for this day.

When did you join?

'’85, straight out of college.

Wow, that'’s--

-Eighteen years.
-So, did they find you, or...?

No, I approached them.

And did Joe know?

Yes.

Your parents?

Yes, but that'’s all.

So you have lovers all over
the world? Do you have a gun?

Have you killed people?

I can'’t...

I can'’t tell you
anything.

You can'’t tell me anything.

God. We always said Val
was such a great listener,

asks a lot of questions
about work and the kids.

So selfless.

-Diana--
-Do you remember when
I first met Steve

and I didn'’t trust lawyers

and do you remember
what you said to me?

You said that you worked
with them all the time and
that they weren'’t so bad.

And I married him,

he'’s the father
of my children.

Did your wife
send you to Niger?

I was not sent by my wife, but
the issue is not who sent me,

it'’s whether or not
a crime was committed.

I'’m going
to get it!

I'’m going to get it.
I got it.

Hello?

Hello?

Your husband
is a communist.

I hope you die,
you commie whore.

-We know where you live.
-Who is this?

- Trevor.
-Who--

- Help me on.

Beat it.

Mommy, Trevor won'’t let me
go on his tractor.

Okay, so find
something else to play.

I don'’t...

Mommy? Mommy?

What? What?

"He stayed inside
for more than two weeks.

-Then he nibbled--"

Zahraa?

Hammad has disappeared.

His wife, his children
are missing.

My uncle in Mansour, he said
they were targeting them,

-they were killing them.
-Who?

Hammad'’s colleagues. Dr. Habbuk
was shot dead in the street,

Dr. Falli was murdered
in his hallway.

Listen, Zahraa--

I know you can'’t tell me
where he is,

just tell me you have him.
Please, I beg you.

I don'’t need to know anything,
just tell me he'’s safe.

We don'’t have him.

You said he would be safe.

You said, "We would help you,
I promise."

I trusted you.

The Justice Department needed
to establish whether those in
the highest office

sought to destroy the career
of a public servant to punish me
for telling the truth.

-What'’s going on?
-What are you doing here?

Falli, Habbuk.
Who else?

I don'’t know what you're
talking about.

Don'’t bullshit me,
who else is dead?

You were right, it was all
about the scientists.

We made a call.

-A call?
-We passed your case files
to liaison.

The Mossad were already
on the same page,

they'’ve been hunting these guys
down since the invasion.

You'’ll drive them underground,
they'’ll run straight to Iran,
Pakistan.

Valerie, it'’s not
your problem.

-How can you sleep at night?
-I sleep just fine.

Now, Carol'’s mother is here.
I'’m sorry, but I'm going to have
to ask you to leave.

It'’s called
counterproliferation, Jack.
Counter.

Linda, are you still here?
It'’s late.

At the end of the day,
it'’s of keen interest to me

whether or not we see Karl Rove
frog-marched out of
the White House in handcuffs.

And believe me, when I use that
name, I measure my words.

Mr. Wilson.

-Excuse me. Hello.
-We came all the way from
Portland for this.

Okay.

My wife and I have never
sought publicity,

but I know when I tell
her about all of the support
out here today,

she'’ll be
thrilled and humbled.

-Hello?
-Valerie, turn on MSNBC.

- Mom, why can'’t
I have some juice?
-Okay. Hold on one second.

They'’ve launched
an investigation,
Ashcroft just announced it.

They say he'’s going
to convene a grand jury.

Hold on a second.

...that the FBI
now is conducting
a criminal investigation

into who leaked the name of
the CIA undercover operative...

I'’m going to be back later.

I'’ve got to go over to Fox,
they want me to comment
on the investigation.

-Joe, just hold on.
-Valerie, we'’ve got
to fight this.

We cannot...
We'’ve got to push back.

Mom, where'’s my doll?

-I'’ve got another call.

-I got to go.
-Joe--

Joe Wilson.

Joe, it'’s Chris Matthews.

I just spoke to Karl Rove,
he told me,

"Wilson'’s wife is fair game."

Thank you for coming here.

I wanted to convey my outrage
to you in person.

I know it'’s not easy
but I want you to know how much
the agency appreciates

your silence
in the light of this matter.

We can'’t afford to have this
knife fight go on any longer.

I get death threats every day.

People threaten to kill
my husband, hurt my children.

I went to the agency
and I requested security
to protect my family.

I was declined because
"my circumstances fall
outside budget protocols".

If this is a knife fight, sir,

right now we'’re
fighting it alone.

Joe Wilson versus
the White House, huh?

Well, all I can say
is good luck.

But I feel, as a friend,
I should tell you that
those men, those few men

in that building over there,

are the most powerful men
in the history of the world.

How much of a stretch do you
think it would be for them to
take on Joe Wilson?

Joe is out there on his own,
Valerie,

but I know we can trust you.

Speak to your husband.

Tucker Carlson says,

"Wilson'’s wife sent
him on a boondoggle

because he needed the work."

Who needs to work for free?

It'’s not like Niger
is renowned for its fine dining
and celebrated operas,

it reminds me of Paris.

Listen, someone from
Vanity Faircalled,

they want to do a piece.

They want to do a
full-scale interview,

photographs,
tell the whole story.

What do you think about that?

What do I think?

Do I want my photograph
in Vanity Fair,
is that the question?

Valerie, this is our chance.

To do what?

To tell our side of the story.

It'’ll mean a dozen, maybe 50 TV
appearances, we have to do that.

They'’re killing us on Fox,
in the blogs,
they'’re drowning us out.

We'’ve got to strike back.

What? What'’s wrong?
What did I say?

Don'’t you get it, Joe? I mean,
where does all this stop?

Our address is on the Internet,
a photo of our house.

I changed our phone number,
what, five times now?

My name, my name is everywhere,

my real name, Joe.

Where does all this tough-talk
and publicity and noise

and all this bullshit
that you'’re doing,

where does it get us?
Where?

Andy Card told
the Financial Times

that they are rolling
earthmovers over Joe Wilson."

Quote: earthmovers!

Well, I'’m sorry, you're not
going to get me without a fight.

Not without one hell of a fight.

It'’s the White House, Joe.
It'’s the White House.

Do you seriously think
you can pick a fight with
the White House and win?

-They'’ll bury us.
-They'’ll bury us if we don't!

Joe Wilson.
Joe Wilson.

Don'’t, Valerie!
Valerie!

Does that make me right
if I shout louder than you?

If I shout louder than you,
am I right?

If I'’m the White House
and I shout a million times
louder than you,

does that make me right?

They lied, Valerie.

They lied.
That'’s the truth.

Truth. Right.

-Well, by the time
they'’re finished with us...
- Mom!

...we won'’t know what that is.

Is Scooter home?

-What'’s that?
-The Senate just finished
its investigation.

The findings of the Select
Committee on Intelligence,
all 511 pages.

Check out page 39.

-Hi, Daddy!
-Who'’s the prettiest?

Hey there, monster.

How are you?

Go get there. Get some play in
before it starts to rain.

What'’s that?

That'’s the Senate Select
Committee Intelligence report.

On page 39, it says,

"The former ambassador'’s
wife offered up his name."

It then includes
a memorandum written by
Valerie Plame which says,

"My husband has good relations
with both the Prime Minister

and the former
Minister of Mines,

both of whom could shed light
on this sort of activity."

This is exactly what
I'’ve been denying.

-No.
-Every newspaper,
every television, radio,

-anybody that
would listen to me...
-Joe--

...saying my wife did not
send me on a junket.

-I didn'’t send you.
I didn'’t have that power.
-You sent an email.

-The SSCI found the email.
-I write hundreds of emails.

Why didn'’t you tell me?
It never occurred to
you, in all this time,

-that this would be important?
-I didn'’t make the decision,

I was asked to write
a recommendation.

What was I supposed to do? Not
say my husband knows about this?

Well, they have this now.

They'’ll call me a liar
and it will stick

because they have
all the power.

What do I have?
My word.

You'’ve got to speak up,
Valerie.

You'’ve got to go
on the record now.

You'’ve got to defend us. Now.

So what do you want me to do?

Go to the papers like you did?

Write a piece in
The New York Times?

You know I'’d have to
submit it to the Agency,

-I'’ll have to--
-Wait, wait, wait.

Honey, go play.
Go on, go on.

The Agency?

Valerie, who'’s your loyalty to,
to your husband or the CIA?

It'’s to my family,
I put my family first, always.

Were you putting them first when
you wrote that goddamn article?

Mommy!

Trevor, go find Samantha.

I'’m taking different
routes to and from school.

I'’m looking in empty rooms,

under beds,
every time I come home.

A home we'’re going to lose
pretty soon because your work

has dried up and your clients
are running for cover.

What has all this achieved, Joe?

Maybe you'’re right.

Maybe I just should have
kept my mouth shut.

Is that what your dad
taught you, Valerie?

Is that what Colonel
Sam Plame would say?

A good American just
keeps his mouth shut.

A good American just
looks the other way?

Did you send me to Niger?

"His business is struggling,
he'’s on the slide.

I'’ll pull a few strings,
send the old man a bone."

Is that pretty much
what happened?

-How dare you?
-Did you send me?

You think I'’m lying to you.

Could I tell if you were?

Trevor? Honey?

Come on, Sam.

Let'’s get in the car.

-Bye, guys.
I'’ll see you at home.
-Bye, Daddy.

-Bye.
-I'’m taking my car, okay?

Joe Wilson was
a shameless self-promoter.

Everything about his story
was either a lie or a hoax
or he was incompetent.

I think this is important.
If we'’re in time of war

and you want to know what
the President said or what
the President didn'’t say,

whether it'’s accurate or not
and you have someone who says,

"I'’m sent over there
by the Vice President
of the United States

and George Tenet to
investigate this,"
and instead it turns out

he was sent over
at the recommendation
of his wife...

- There he is.
- Is it him?

This is private property,
you'’re trespassing.

Mr. Wilson,
did the Vice President--

You still maintain
the Vice President'’s
office sent you to Niger

-and not your wife?
-Please, get off my property.
I have no comment.

Mr. Wilson, was
the Niger trip a free holiday?
A boondoggle?

Have you been lying
to us from the start?

I never lied.
I didn'’t receive any payment,

my wife didn'’t send me.
Now, leave.

-All of you, leave.
-Did the taxpayers pay
for your vacation, Mr. Wilson?

It wasn'’t a vacation.
It was--

Are you against
our troops, Mr. Wilson?

It was a fact-finding mission in
the leadup to a war. What? What?

-Are you against our troops?
-All the way off the property.

Mr. Wilson, people are
saying that your wife doesn'’t
actually work for the CIA.

Is it true
she'’s just a secretary?

Mr. Wilson, is it true
that you donated money
to the Kerry campaign?

Mr. Wilson,
your wife'’s a nobody.

Well, I think it'’s really
all about the money.

We'’re talking about
a third-rate CIA agent

who had a government salary
and now she'’s out.

She could have transferred
somewhere else within the CIA,

she didn'’t have to leave.
Probably the CIA
wanted her to leave

because she had already
been in the press without
their permission.

It'’s come out that
she was considered kind of
a mediocre agent at best.

Can I just take this pillow?

When we were at the Farm,

training to be field officers,

they picked out four or five of
us and told us we'’d stood out.

We were bound, hooded,
thrown into separate cells.

They deprived us of sleep,
beat us.

All we had to do was give up
the name of one of the others.

Just one name.

They push you until
they find it,

until they find the point
at which you break.

And one by one,
everybody broke...

except me.

And that made me feel special.

"You can'’t break me.

I don'’t have a breaking point."

I was wrong.

I'’m going to walk down
the stairs because
I can'’t run down them.

Then you go safely but
let'’s go, quickly.

Don'’t forget your jacket.
Trevor.

Okay, say goodbye
to your father.

Hey, guys.

We'’re going on
a mystery tour.

I know you are.

Come here. I'’m going to
see you both real soon.

Why won'’t you come, Daddy?

Later. I'’m going
to see you really soon.

Let'’s get in the car, guys.

You got it.

Okay, come on.
Let'’s go, guys.

I'’m getting wet.

No. I'’m getting soaked.

Grandma!

Baby, how are you?

Hey, Trevor, my goodness,
how big you are.

Okay, do you want a red
one or a green one?

- Red one.
- Red one.

Red one?

Tomatoes.
Apples.

And caramels, I think.

So what color of apple
do you want?

- Red.
- Green.

You want a green.
Oh, good. I'’m glad.

Afghanistan can quickly
revert back to what it was.

Not because there aren'’t
good people here but because--

The governments of Niger and
Burkina Faso are interested

in exploiting gold reserves
along their common border.

-There'’s not a lot of interest
as gold is at 150 an ounce.

But it will compliment
your holdings East Africa
and the concession'’s cheap.

Hello, my friend.

-Joe Wilson.
-Kamalea...

-Such a pleasure.
-Nice to meet you.

How is your wife,
Joe?

She'’s fine.
She'’s, well she's...

Excuse me. Can I just--

two shot of espresso,
strong coffee.

I'’m not very hungry.

How long are you in town?

Just a few days.

Kamalea and I are excited
to hear your proposal.

Can I help you?

Excuse me.
Can I help you?

No. I was just telling these men
that you, sir, are a fraud.

This is a private lunch.
Could you leave now, please?
Thank you.

-This man is a liar
and a traitor.
-Excuse me.

He is in the pay of
left wing hate groups.

He is a Democrat stooge and
is an anti-war zealot.

He has stabbed our
troops in the back.

Leave now. Excuse me.
I am very sorry.

You got blood on your hands
and your wife is a traitor
and a fantasist.

Leave my table.
How dare you talk about my wife.

You don'’t know her,
you don'’t know me.

Now, leave now.

Very nice.
You gentlemen should know

-you'’re having lunch
with a traitor.
-I think we should go.

-Oh, please don'’t, please--
-No, we should.

Taxi.

Palisades.

You okay?

I'’m fine.

You'’re him. I see you on TV,
you'’re Joe Wilson.

No, I'’m not.

Yes, brother,
I see you on TV.

It'’s somebody else.

No, no.
I know you.

My name is Joe too.

I'’m from Sierra Leone,
Freetown.

You'’ve been there, right?
Did you like Freetown?

Joe, you and I both know
Freetown is a shithole.

That'’s the truth.

That'’s the truth right
there, brother.

Yes, indeed,
Sierra Leone is dying.

There'’s too much injustice and
corruption in Sierra Leone.

People at the top
have too much power,

way too much power.

But people can'’t see
that from over here.

Over here in America
it'’s a different world.

I wouldn'’t be so sure of that.

How can you say that?

Land of the free, brother.
Home of the brave.

Joe, could you pull over?

I'’m just going to... Pull over
here, I'’m going to walk.

Keep the change.

That'’s cheating.

I got it.

Done.

Above your head.

Move your rope.

How is he?

Oh, he is okay.

He'’s better.

Shaking through.

I win!

There.
There they are.

You see those guys, those
little yellow fellers?

Yeah, I see them.

See that?

There'’s a name for 'em.

I used to know the name
for them, some kind of...

They'’re very beautiful.

I think my marriage
is over, Dad.

I know my little gal
wouldn'’t say anything
until she absolutely has to.

There'’s going to be another
Congressional Investigation.

He wants me to speak out.

Go on the record.

Like that would suddenly
make all this go away.

We can'’t even
speak to each other.

I can remember saying
exactly the same thing.

July '’72.

Me and your mom weren'’t getting
along and fighting all the time.

I guess she'’d just plain
had enough of moving house.

It wasn'’t until I retired
25 years in the Air Force,

I realized that we
never did have a home.

We must'’ve moved
20 different times.

I don'’t know, Germany,
Singapore,

Australia, England.

You had 20 different chances
to introduce yourself
to someone new.

Turned out all right,
though, okay.

I mean, you'’re responsible,
a little too serious, maybe.

Made you tough, though.
Made you real tough.

Probably, tougher than me and
your mom could ever understand.

I just can'’t see how
this comes around.

Not this time, not anymore.

What they did was wrong, Val.
It'’s just plain wrong.

Don'’t you ever forget that.

You see, through some miracle,
you get through this thing,

there'’s no guarantee that
you and Joe won'’t fight.

He'’s a stubborn son of a bitch.

He'’s not going to give up
any more than you are.

Grandpa look.

I swear to God she'’s going
to keep at that thing
till she licks it.

Come on, raise your hand up.

There you go.

Good shot.

- I need to do it again.
-Yeah!

Good try.

-Shit. Mom!
-....the final result,

and it turned out
to be bad news for one member
of the White House team,

and a central figure he is,
Scooter Libby, five counts.

And, as Brian Williams
just said on NBC news
in that special report,

30 years he faces right now.

I want to talk right
now to Dan Abrams,

my colleague who handles
these legal matters.

You can imagine that
the letter of resignation

was probably drafted
somewhat in advance

in that there were indications
in the past.

What is next?

Lawyers for Lewis Scooter Libby
are preparing his defense

following his
indictment Friday.

Meanwhile, President Bush
is set to announce
his next nominee

to replace Sandra Day O'’Connor
on the Supreme Court.

...the indictment today,
according to sources,

still faces a possible
perjury charge.

There are two things here.

First of all, the Karl Rove
business about today,

the fact that he was
not indicted today,

is certainly what you would
call interim good news.

But it can only be called
interim good news

because, as you know,
the investigation in so
far as he is concerned,

is going to--

They served up Scooter Libby,
he'’s going to take the fall.

I'’m sure he probably
brokered a deal, he takes
the fall, deck is stacked.

He gets pardoned, bet there
won'’t even be a trial.

I don'’t care...

what they say about us.

I don'’t care how angry you get.

If they take all this away,
I don'’t care.

They do not get to take

my marriage.

I'’m so sorry.

You did good.

I did it for me.

I know why you did it.

Thank you.

If I could give it back to you,

if I could give you
back who you were...

This is who I am.

Right here.

Are you ready to fight?

Good.

How many of you know
the 16 words in President Bush'’s
State of the Union address

that led us to war?

How many know my wife'’s name?

Valerie.

Now, how can you know
one and not the other?

When did the question move
from "Why are we going to war?"

to "Who is this man'’s wife?"

I asked the first question,

but somebody else
asked the second,

and it worked because
none of us know the truth.

The offense that was committed
was not committed against me.

It was not committed
against my wife.

It was committed against you,
all of you.

If that makes you angry
or feel misrepresented,

do something about it.

When Benjamin Franklin
left Independence Hall

just after the second drafting,

he was approached by
a woman on the street.

The woman said, "Mr. Franklin,

what manner of government
have you bequeathed us?"

And Franklin said,

"A republic, madam,
if you can keep it."

The responsibility
for our country

is not in the hands
of a privileged few.

We are strong and we
are free from tyranny

as long as each one of us
remembers his or her duty
as a citizen.

Whether it'’s to report
a pothole at the top
of your street

or lies in a State of a Union
address, speak out.

Ask those questions.

Demand that truth.

Democracy is not
a free ride, man,

I'’m here to tell you,

but this is where we live.

And if we do our job,

this is where
our children will live.

God bless you.

Thank you.

Ms. Wilson, we'’re
pleased to have you here.

Thank you very much for coming
to our committee today.

The practice of this committee
is that all witnesses

are administered an oath

and I would like to ask you
to stand and raise your hand.

Do you promise to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth?

-I do.
-Please be seated.

Now, there'’s a button
on the base of the mic,
be sure to press it in

and pull it closely enough
to you so you can be heard.

Good morning, Mr. Chairman,
and members of the committee.

My name is Valerie Plame Wilson

and I'’m honored to have been
invited to testify under oath

before the Committee on
Oversight in Government Reform

on the critical issue
of safe-guarding
classified information.

I'’m grateful for
this opportunity to set
the record straight.

I'’ve served the
United States loyally

and to the best of my ability
as a covert operations officer

for the Central Intelligence
Agency.

I worked on behalf
of the national security
of our country,

on behalf of the people
of the United States,

until my name and true
affiliation were exposed

in the national media
on July 14, 2003,

after a leak by
administration officials.

Today, I can tell this
committee even more.

In the ran up to
the war with Iraq,

I worked in the counter
proliferation division
of the CIA,

still as a covert officer

whose affiliation with the CIA
was classified.

I race to discover
solid intelligence for
senior policy makers

on Iraq'’s presumed weapons
of mass destruction programs.

While I helped to manage
and run secret,
world-wide operations

against WMD target from CIA
headquarters in Washington,

I also traveled to foreign
countries on secret missions

to find vital intelligence.

I love my career because
I love my country.

I was proud of the serious
responsibilities entrusted

to me as a CIA covert
operations officer.
