New York September, 2003
My name is Michael Sullivan.
And I have a story that I think you want to hear.
Based on Real Stories
May God create more many people like you...
... and bless you.
We are grateful, Saddam.
Under you we are happy and safe.
May God create more many people like you...
... and bless you.
Saddam, we are safe because your movements are safe!
UN, New York October, 2002
Michael Sullivan?
How long have you been /> lobbyists on Belasquian Banks?
Two years.
Many strategies, research and support.
That's a good job. You're not happy there?
No, I don't want to wake up when I'm 40...
.... and realize the only contribution to the world is...
... tax protection, factories, and holes in ozone.
You an idealist?
As long as I remember, I want to become a diplomat.
I want to make a difference in the world.
Your father a diplomat.
Right. US State Department, he...
Lebanon. 1983. </ P>
I am sorry for your loss. </ P>
My father died when I was a child.
He was killed in a bombing at the US Embassy in Beirut...
... when I was 5 years old.
My memories from childhood was that my father told me...
... about the establishment of United Nations
We will find ways to end the war.
Making it sound like Knights in the modern era...
... who sat on the Round Table.
I want to follow in his footsteps.
Before the fall of 2002,
I apply for work at the UN four times.
Hey. / Uncle Michael!
My sister said that because the Service > Foreign is our family's legacy.
Hey, Sis, how are you doing? / Hey, fine. Sorry I'm late. </ P>
You look healthy. / And just like my mother,
He married a man he > meet during an internship at the UN.
I bring you a small gift, the others will follow, okay?
Hey, Trevor./ Hey.
Good cake, Lily . Flag Denmark is enough? </ P>
Have you heard something? / No. I'll hear it tomorrow. </ P>
But what do you think? Good? </ P>
No, I'm too nervous. Those who lose. </ P>
I'm sure you will get it, you've worked hard for this. </ P>
Yes. </ P>
And this is someone's birthday,
We cut it the cake? / Yes!
Happy birthday...
Happy birthday to my dear Kate...
The best candidate continues to be drawn work by financial institutions.
Michael Sullivan.
I know his father.
Danish passport.
His mother's side, but he still 24 years old.
He is perfect.
I thought that I would start with assigning documents,
I got > my dream job.
Special assistant for deputy secretary general.
Take care of the humanitarian program biggest...
... in the history of United Nations
I can't believe my luck .
What I keep thinking about is, "Don't confuse this."
This program is called Oil for Food. < br /> (Oil for food)
This was formed in 1995.
With the provisions of Security Council 986,
Which states if the UN will < br /> managing Iraqi oil sales...
... and using the profits to provide humanitarian assistance...
... in certain countries to ease the trouble.
Basically our office...
... is tasked with trying to feed all countries,
More than 20 million people.
There are reports you must learn.
Our schedule is far behind...
... with funding report status for the Security Council.
Your closest task is to help facilitate the settlement.
Your predecessor is scheduled to give direction to Deputy Secretary tomorrow.
Tomorrow? What happened to him?
Car accident in Iraq.
Oh my God.
Is he alright? / No, he is not safe.
But a detailed bullet will be very helpful.
Pasha will be in the office is 9:00 a.m.
Can you talk for a while, Michael?
Justin Cutter, CIA.
Seriously?
Yes, we come with various shapes and sizes.
Alright, anyone can I help?
Listen, we suspect Oil For Food is used for personal gain...
... by the wrong person or people unknown.
Maybe with help from inside,
And what I mean is you,
So... / I just got a job this.
I don't want to be a spy for you. / Guard, no.
No, leave it to the professional.
I don't want you to do anything that makes you uncomfortable, Michael.
Just keep your eyes open and your ears, that's all.
For God's sake and the Country.
p>
... has become a political game.
The program budget is $ 10 billion per year.
While other UN operational funds are only $ 2 million.
That is very big money to have. </ p >
Certain interests spin like an eagle.
The program is very simple.
Because the economic sanctions that applied to Saddam Hussein...
... after the first Gulf War, the Iraqi economy was destroyed.
People die of hunger...
... because of the lack of basic drugs and staple foods.
The Oil for Food Program is designed to provide Iraqis...
... with what they need to survive.
While at the same time, prevents Saddam ...
... from developing weapons of mass destruction.
Under the supervision of the United Nations,
Iraqi oil is sold according to market prices...
.... to pay humanitarian assistance.
Our job is to keep keeping funded...
... by making sure everything according to the book.
I came here to submit a summary.
He will see you soon.
This is a damned government regime! Unbelievable. </ P>
Right, I always regard as a solution. </ P>
We are currently chartering the transportation tool and filling it out,
It should be able to reach villages until the truck returns.
You call this a summary?
War and peace.
Sorry, Sir, I'm trying to detail. Detailed? </ P>
Right, sir. </ P>
Gosh. </ P>
Just give me the point, son, </ p >
Otherwise we will be here until spring ends.
Well, we managed to reduce the level of malnutrition,
Reducing the death rate child,
We also made a big step for access to water and electricity.
Even though there are some...
... distribution errors systemic, especially in the North.
Kurds lack wheat, milk, fuel, for the benefit of Tikrit,
That seems to get more much than it should.
Saddam's hometown, what's surprising?
Yes.
There are also all costs after the service is contracted.
I'm sure it's some kind of facilitation.
If you want to see, I mark...
... and accumulate it on page 26 up to 29.
That's a lot of money, sir.
At that place almost as much as 30%.
Sit down.
Son.
Sit down.
The first rule of diplomacy is the truth is not a matter of fact,
But a matter of consensus, and the current consensus is...
... existing sanctions to be set.
America and Britain have never revoked the sanction,
That means if you want Iraqi people to survive,
Kita harus menjaga Minyak Untuk Pangan tetap berjalan.
Despite all the weaknesses and shortcomings.
Sir, you don't need... / The second rule is to shut up and listen.
Then if it's appropriate, you can talk. With wisdom.
Otherwise, keep your card stay close to your chest.
Yes.
Your father is a good person. </ P>
You should be lucky have a heart like him. </ P>
Yes, that's what I often hear. </ P>
We met several times .
Maybe around 79 & apos; -80 & apos; -an.
Sad tragedy.
Beirut.
Gosh, forgive me .
It must be difficult for an child to grow up without a father.
That is my normality. I get my cry.
Good.
Fix your summary.
Go home and pack it up.
We go to Baghdad dawn tomorrow.
What? Do you have other plans? </ P>
No, no. </ P>
Of course. Thank you. </ P>
Baghdad, Iraq
I was swept in the romance,
I mean, this is what I want.
High adventure and noble goals.
As if Baghdad were my Casablanca.
Quite vague, > very dangerous and foreign...
... more than what I've ever imagined.
This country is running under permanent self-occupation.
Our Baghdad office will give a problem. </ P>
Alright. </ P>
We can't let this director sabotage the report.
Why does this guy want to sabotage his own report?
Women.
For the Security Council to be forced to to revoke sanctions,
And everyone can disburse the agreement...
... they made with Saddam before...
... before he toppled Kuwait and destabilize the world. </ P>
Gosh, son. </ P>
I have to teach you everything from zero. </ P>
Every 6 months we must confirm the continuity of our existence.
Our current task is to make report to the Security Council...
... and emphasize all the goodness of in the program Oil for food...
... while minimizing challenges. </ P>
Not for lying. </ P>
No, never lie,
Tapi untuk memilih fakta atau kebenaran kita dengan sangat berhati-hati.
Right.
Can I trust you to do that?
Yes. Of course. </ P>
UN Headquarters, Baghdad
That's it. </ P>
Madame Dupre. </ P>
Trying to stab us from back.
Christina.
Hassan Ghazarian. / Hey, Michael Sullivan.
It's nice to meet you. .
Did you receive the document I sent you?
Yes, I even printed it for you.
Good. </ p >
You write well.
60% of Iraqis...
... just rely on our troops to survive.
Wheat, rice, milk, medicine, infrastructure is important.
Over the past 10 months, we have succeeded reducing malnutrition rates...
... among children in Iraq as much as 50%,
Also followed by a decrease in significant child mortality rates.
All right, thank you very much, photographer please go forward.
We will take a picture together Madame Dupre.
It's hard to say how bad is Saddam oppress its people.
Friends of government with easily access medicines.
Those who are less fortunate...
Abandoned dead even from common diseases.
They sent bad drugs.
Give us an expired recipe.
Say thank you for bringing this to me...
... and tell him I definitely will check it out.
He said there was a black market selling drugs "Oil for Food."
Or this innocent child. Please explain to him...
Why can't he get therapy stem cells to cure him.
Why should he suffer because the West has a grudge with Iraq,
This is a matter of dignity
I can't explain that.
He asks why are you crying?
I promise I will try as much as I can to help you, kid.
p>
That makes me sick of standing there and listening to your lies.
That's Public Relations, Christina, everyone in this field has worked hard.
My report to the Security Council will keep telling the truth. </ P>
For you to know. </ P>
Your report. </ P>
How did this program fail? What medicines have been delivered!
On what basis? / Residents get basic food.
On what basis? Everyone violates the system.
Corruption grows like cancer.
It will never be perfect and it's clear,
It's better than not at all.
Michael, why is it long?
Sorry, there is a little security issue.
We will leave soon. p>
I know what you are doing.
You want me to sign your moral relativism,
So that you can blame me when this is all revealed .
You misunderstood me. I'm just trying to feed the country. </ P>
Simply twist the facts, Costa! </ P>
Faktanya akan bicara dengan sendirinya.
My report with the Security Council will tell the truth.
Al Rasheed Hotel, Baghdad
Baghdad is the center of the whole world now, son.
p>
And this, Al Rasheed is a neutral zone.
The diplomatic association room.
Pasha!
It's nice to see you again.
Mohammed, my assistant. </ P>
Michael Sullivan. p> The whole room is tapped.
Everyone tries to exchange their secrets and services.
Information is everything. Currency, power.
Look, hear, learn.
Everyone has his own agenda.
Bush Junior thinks Saddam does not respect his father.
Bush Junior berpikir Saddam tak menghormati ayahnya.
Neo-Konservatif Amerika?
They believe democracy will bloom here like a flower,
Good luck with that.
Putin wants Bush to fail, China wants a new market ,
Half Europeans don't care...
... whether Saddam poisoned civilian citizens by gas or building bombs,
Large oil companies only want to put an end to sanctions...
... so they can suck Iraqi oil again.
The question of what the doctor told me today.
Drugs that expire, supplies disappear.
I smell the trap.
I don't feel that it's a trap.
More games from Madame.
He is not only less effective,
He is so trying to prove if this program is a mistake. </ p >
If we don't do something, this report will be a disaster.
You can't give the final decision? / Unfortunately not.
The UN protocol requires local directors...
... who sign the report
So what is our agenda? / Our agenda?
That little girl.
At the hospital.
God helps anyone who needs. </ P>
Yes. </ P>
I once had a child. </ P>
Died of flu when she was a baby
Do you believe that?
And my wife...
We can't have more children.
Sorry. </ p >
30 years ago.
How did you say that?
I got my cry.
Flu.
You're tired? < /p>
No./ Youth. Gosh. </ P>
For people whose work speaks for others,
Kau tak banyak bicara.
I can't argue with it...
... you're not surprised when the doctor talks about the drug market.
I'm not surprised.
You will tell your boss?
We already know there is corruption in the program.
Outside Baghdad is much worse.
Divert rations, power outages. </ P>
Extortion, bribes. </ P>
I'll make sure Pasha also knows that. </ P>
Something want you ask me?
Is this about Madame?
If your boss wants you to find the secret button...
.... can he press it to make it turn if needed?
I can tell you. That doesn't exist.
I'm just trying to do my job.
But your predecessor is Abhek...
The car accident wasn't an accident.
That's a pretty heavy accusation.
Why did you say this to me?
He was killed because of something he wanted to reveal.
Something about Oil for Food?
I don't know.
Maybe.
He is afraid of someone in the United Nations.
A facilitator of corruption. </ P>
You should be careful. </ P>
Good night. </ P>
Please. </ P>
Mukhabarah, you know, We are worried...
... to check your room for possible wiretapping devices.
This is for your security, of course. </ p >
Why don't you start with tell me who you are?
Do you enjoy your visit to Mesopotamia, Mr. Sullivan? </ P>
Yang pertama, jika aku tidak salah, benar?
This is a difficult time and is full of pressure for everyone.
The Great Satan continues to threaten to bomb the city,
While sanctions are still enforced.
Baghdad puts... / Why aren't you going to the point?
You will see an envelope in my closet...
... which contains a little payment.
We really admire your performance against Iraqis...
It's already late. I ask you to leave , please.
I don't mean not to appreciate.
Don't forget your envelope.
Don't blame them for trying , it's nothing.
You handled that well.
What about what the translator said about Abhek?
I can't believe that.
Maybe he's the spy Saddam sent to mess us up.
You look messy, kid. Gosh, eat something.
Sorry.
Excuse me?
I've been warned, but I'm still surprised...
... with criticism from UN staff against sanctions.
Pasha is correct, each department has its agenda.
They work with various purposes.
They play right into his hand Madame Dupre.
Shut up! </ P>
You all sound like Saddam's puppets. </ P>
Do I need to say serious consequences for Iraqis,
If we failed to continue... / You broke...
Are you kidding me?!
This is not our position to question Security Council decisions.
We apply it.
Emptiness from all politics.
And right, sometimes it's a difficult job.
But if you don't do it,
I suggest you submit your credentials and go home.
I know from my research...
... that our biggest concern is Kurdistan.
As long as Saddam is in power,
That requires all the capabilities of Pasha's diplomatic considerations...
... for keep the Kurds from messing up the report.
The ration, when it comes,
That is always half of what was promised.
North is a protected area, so unfortunately...
They are most disadvantaged by this sanction compared to other regions,
And while Oil For Food provides help,
It helps defend the regime that oppresses them.
Kurds have a lot of money to buy their own food, </ p >
From the black oil market.
Mr. Minister, if you allow me...
The Kurdish conflict with Iraq has been happening almost a century.
Saddam Hussein brought him to the most recent level.
Forced displacement, detention < mass br /> and torture.
Then, when it didn't work,
He used a land mine and cluster bomb,
Gas sarin and conditions killed tens of thousands of citizens...
... and crippled dozens of other thousand. The terror regime.
That includes acts of genocide the worst chemical ever committed...
... against civilians.
Kurds crisis only because become Kurds.
And in the pull of diplomacy between two eternal enemies,
I saw Pasha using his magic.
... About how that Most beloved of Allah,
That is with what touched with many hands.
Bastard! This is what I need.
But the Kurdish Prime Minister was right, from what was said to me,
They were really cheated. I know he's right.
It's in the field report, but we have to cover it.
Options won't be able to feed everyone or not at all.
I have to go back to New York tomorrow.
I want you to stay focused.
Of course.
This is your itinerary.
You transit to Kuwait, and arrive at JFK at 17:00.
Dupre will keep you away from final report.
The goal is Oil for Food.
Alright, then why do I stay here?
A few more days, You will receive photos.
You have to show it to Hassan...
... because you don't understand what that means.
Your job is to make sure he shows it to Dupre
And insist on the opposite.
You asked me if I... / Trap, right.
He would be caught in the trap, and we can get rid of him.
Son, this is diplomacy,
Sometimes it requires getting rid of obstacles...
... which blocks the way to the results of success.
Can I trust you again with this one?
How much lies will I say?
Not a lie. </ P>
Only an opportunity to draw wrong conclusions. </ P>
Morning. </ P>
You need to know, Madame said you won't read the report...
... until it's finished and he has signed it.
Pasha says he wants me to help. </ p >
People in Hell want ice water.
We are just a puddle of big games, you and me.
Sorry, Michael.
Hassan.
At least you can prepare I translator for field visits.
I want to open one of the boxes and check the expiration date.
He said he was a company representative.
Tell him I want to open one of the boxes.
This drug expires in 1999.
The sick person will get sicker or die because of this.
Every box needs to be checked,
Expired drugs must be destroyed,
And the factory will replace it at their own expense.
I must remind you, everyone here thinks I'm your prostitute.
Then I think we pay each of these.
You can't date companion women in Iraq.
There are rituals and traditions.
Do you want us to cancel this?
Did you tell your boss what did I say about Ahbek? </ P>
Yes, I told him. </ P>
He thought you might be a government spy. </ P> >
Are you ready to order?
Can we order a stirloin steak? / Yes.
Thank you.
So, are you spy?
Is that a serious question?
That's a vague answer.
No.
Now it's my turn to ask you. < /p>
Alright.
What are you doing here?
I am working on the status of the report...
... for the Oil program for Food, then I'll...
I mean today with drugs are out of date.
What you did did not exist related to the writing of your report.
You took action.
It was risky and very brave.
What it's only for to impress me?
I'm not here just because of office.
I received this job for a reason,
Because I want to help people...
... and I want to make a difference. </ P>
Make a difference? </ P>
Exactly. </ P>
I'll drink for it.
Cheers.
They won't bomb Baghdad,
No without getting rid of the UN staff first.
Sullivan? / Yes? </ P>
This is for you. Thank you. </ P>
Lil, I have to go. Who sent this?
What is an Oil For Food truck?
Yes, but I don't know the source.
If this is true,
This proves that we
> played by Saddam's regime.
Yes, if, I think we should not trust this .
Use our truck to send weapons. What's that? </ P>
I will ask my person to send this,
Look what Pasha said. / No, no, no.
Let me show Christina first. No, it won't.
It's OK. How do you call it?
"Chain of command. "
All right.
Hi.
Hey.
I want to show you something.
All right.
They're friends.
Okay.
So, this place doesn't exist officially.
This is a burial for Kurds...
... which Saddam one day Hussein decided it was inappropriate for life. </ P>
Gas, Sarin, Tabun, VX. </ P>
The scent of sweet apples. </ P>
He didn't care about sanctions < br /> or determination from you.
He is an Angel A Life Defender, Izrael.
You are a Kurd. /> active in PUK.
Killed in Halabdja.
I'm sorry.
No one in Baghdad knows I'm a Kurd, Michael
If the Saddam police know, they will eliminate me.
My friend, they help Ahbek uncover criminal conspiracies...
... where Saddam produced billions of dollars of Oil for Food.
...dimana Saddam menghasilkan miliaran dolar dari Minyak Untuk Pangan.
Ahbek said there was the whole corrupt system...
... until it reached the highest level from the same Western government...
... who support sanctions.
Fine, how does Ahbek know this?
There are rumors of a list.
Lists that contain names people and organizations...
... all over the world who get paid from Saddam...
... to keep the system running.
And Ahbek saw that.
Did you bring it? / Yes.
That might be on the computer.
Are you sure nobody saw you? </ P>
The office is empty, everyone's gone home. </ P>
Ahbek, what happened to you? </ P>
I left North crossing the border.
It's not safe for me here.
Save this for me.
He made backup data.
But this is encrypted.
We don't have the resources to solve it.
Why don't you bring it to someone more senior at the UN?
I mean, anyone. Madame Dupre?
Nobody wants to listen to him.
This is important for people who submit the list.
Nobody can accuse you has a share...
... or has another agenda other than the real one.
I won't support this, Nashim.
I don't want to do this.
No, I don't want that.
I just want you to bring back with you...
... and find someone who can open the encryption.
Then together we can decide what to do. </ P>
Sial! Itu Mukhabarah.
Are you serious? Gosh!
There must be a mistake, I'm a UN official.
Young diplomat.
You know this is very dangerous for you...
... be in a remote area this is without escort.
Mukhabarah is worried if you maybe kidnapped by evil.
Think of this as an form of honor.
Your letters.
Who are you? Where are you going? ?
What are you doing here? Tell me!
I told you this with all generosity, Mr. Sullivan
Because I'm sure this won't happen again. </ P>
Your recent visit to the drug distribution service...
That doesn't need to be provocative, right?
This will be good for everyone, in the future,
If such inspections have been unnecessary .
They are armed!
He is my translator, understand ?! I told you! </ p >
And they... / Let him go.
Stop!
Let the diplomat and the woman leave.
Go! Now. </ P>
Before they change their minds. </ P>
Enter the car. </ P>
He holds back my letters. </ P>
Only a matter of time before < They know who I really am.
Where is Nashim Hussani? / He doesn't live here.
Tell us where he is!
Tell me, or we will hurt you and imprison you. </ P>
He doesn't live here. You don't know where he is? </ P>
We don't know.
Isn't this the photo? Tell me where he is.
Nashim Huesseni.
Where is the woman? / Who is it?
Kurdish woman?
I don't know what you're talking about. You're lying! </ p >
I don't know what you're talking about! / Don't lie!
I don't know where he is. We see you with him!
I know, but I don't know where he is, understand? </ P>
Let me make a phone call. </ P>
I don't know where he is. </ P>
Get out! You don't have authority here! </ P>
Get out! </ P>
This is Michael Sullivan from the Office of Oil for Food in Baghdad. </ P>
Yes
Yes.
I want to make arrangements UNLP for one of the staff.
His name is Nashim Huesseni.
Hey
I brought everything I could.
This will bring you into the US.
The Refugee High Commission will help you get a visa.
I don't know. I can go to the Kurdish section of Turkey. </ P>
I have friends there. No, you're safer in New York. </ P>
We will take you to the US...
Then we open a list that is encrypted together.
Go, you should not be seen with me.
Whatever happens...
Promise me you will tell me.
Whatever happens, happens.
Right?
Thank you.
Can you go to my office? Right now.
Do you really hope I was fooled by...
I don't know how you mentioned this.
Trash.
What is the plan?
Then force me to retreat when evidence sticks out if it's fake?
I really don't know what are you talking about.
Madame, I got the document submission...
... and Hassan wants to show that to you, that's all.
You already graduated at the UN, did you hear me?
Your career was over!
What did you have for him? He got photos....
You should be ashamed. You two should be ashamed!
The report is finished.
That said the truth about <
The file is in digital form, with page stamp, time, date,
And I have a backup copy.
So you can't change it when it arrived in New York.
The battle is over, Costa, and you lose.
The Security Council will make a decision based on this fact.
Always based on facts, Madame.
He doesn't budge.
Bastards.
There's no reason for you to be there, kid
Join the UN flight next and go home.
Don't worry about that.
JFK Airport, New York
Excuse me, sir, I can see your passport?
Yes, of course.
Sullivan, I want you to come with me. </ P>
Michael, how are you? </ P>
I have nothing for you. No, it's OK,
I have something for you.
Christina Dupre passed away.
They found him a few hours ago alone in his house.
Heart attack.
At least that was what they said.
Wait, what do you mean, "What are they saying?" </ P>
What do you think happened, Mike? </ P>
I don't... I don't know. </ P> >
How do I... / Your boss,
What does he think?
If you have a question for Pasha,
You should ask directly with him.
Did he ever mention something about the list?
No. Why? </ P>
Michael, is there anything you want you tell me now? </ P>
No.
Thank you. </ P>
Hello? / You're at home.
Yes, I just arrived. </ P>
Kau sudah dengar tentang Madame?
Yes.
It's really bad.
We are indeed disagreeing, but...
This makes me sad.
And the report?
Hassan confirmed to me that he didn't have the wish of Madame...
... to mess up the program. And he will sign...
... as the successor,
Regarding our needs for getting refinancing.
Madame is wrong.
His death will not be /> change that.
Your time is two days for clearing this up.
What do you mean, my time is two days > to fix this?
I think I want you who delivered an oral summary.
Wait, do you want me to submit the report?
To the entire Security Council.
it's a violation of the protocol, Pasha?
I can do what I want.
Besides, they have to hear from people who are in field,
Who else can I believe to do that?
Alright, yeah.
Are you serious? This is very
For people with your position standing before the Security Council?
Yes, I know, this is a great opportunity.
What ?
Where did you get this?
Friends in Baghdad.
No, I mean, I can't solve this.
Do you know anyone who can?
Do you know the contents of this flashdisk?
No.
Do you know someone who can open it?
I'll try.
Do you mind if I hold this?
Yes, take it. </ P>
Hi, yes, I'm told this is possible contact number. </ P>
Yes, right, Michael Sullivan. </ P>
No, I understand, yes.
Just the number I give to you,
Just make sure you or one of your colleagues...
... to call me back if I hear something.
Madame Dupre's death hangs Oil for Food like a cloud.
< i> But Pasha gets the path safe he wants.
Au focuses on writing reports.
I don't want other people to doubt my worth...
... to be in that room.
I can't stop thinking about my father.
Did he ever stand before a council like me. p>
Will he think if I do the right thing.
Are you okay? / I'm good now.
They have 100 percent certainty of WMD in Iraq,
And 0% certainty of their position? I'll call you back.
Finish .
Waiting for your review and signature from Hassan.
That's just my champion. Good work.
I got a call from Supervisory Agency...
... regarding your UNLP request for our section translator.
They asked me to check that.
I'm sure he's in New York now. Right.
He's a Kurd. He needs asylum.
Day 4 of the search. They killed two compatriots. </ P>
Kurds have no country. </ P>
He is looking for friends like you everywhere. </ P>
The oldest trick in the book. Seductive girl...
The CIA calls it "dangling" now.
Seducing her victim, tells her a fairy tale.
That is not only the concern of Russian . CIA, MI5, Interpol...
The girl has many followers. </ P>
Pashmerga sent her school in England,
Giving her fake documents and work at the UN Baghdad.
What does he want to do?
Nothing.
I'm sure he is capable high in the art of seducing.
What you did was stupid...
... and broke the law. I will take care of this.
But in the future, if you want to do something like this,
Meet me first.
Who gave this to you?
That's not important. </ P>
You used me. </ P>
No.
Yes. </ P>
You said you wanted to help. </ P>
Our meeting is not like that, I really...
Nonsense, Nashim. I know how it works.
Really? / Yes.
Alright, I'm guilty of accepting work in Baghdad...
... and trying to find a way to help my people...
... free from the dictator who wants to eradicate us.
And yes, I speak to people who might want to help,
But I don't sleep with them, understand? I don't have to. </ P>
Nashim, you asked me to risk my life...
... for a list that I don't know where it came from.
This...
I'm sorry, but here I am.
Do you want me to leave?
Hi. / Hey.
I came here to say good luck. </ p >
Hey, guys. Thank you. Conquer them. </ P>
Michael. </ P>
Ready? / Yes. </ P>
You will be very good. Calm down./Thank you. </ P>
This is an unusual situation...
... in voting Oil for UN Food,
Costa Deputy Secretary General Passaris hands over his chair...
... to his Executive Assistant, Michael Sullivan,
To submit an report on the status of the program.
The Oil for Food Program continues...
... achieving this mission in providing humanitarian assistance. </ p >
Request to continue funding...
... accompanied by sudden death from the Director of Baghdad Field,
Christina Dupre, who is very vocal in criticizing the program.
And opposing intensive efforts...
... to find a place Saddam Hussein's hideout...
... against weapons of mass destruction.
.... Continuing with Decree 986,
The Board has decided absolutely...
... to extend funding < up to 180 days ahead.
Michael Sullivan approached media crew...
... after the polling of the Security Council.
I don't understand why he wants to invite me.
I know. Me too. </ P>
Let's find a drink, okay? / Here it is. </ P>
My students. Michael Sullivan. </ P>
East Rasnetsov. </ P>
Costa insists you are the hero of Oil for Food. </ P>
And this is Nashim. </ P>
Very beautiful.
Welcome to the US. / Thank you.
Where is your drink?
I think we have Arak around here.
How are you doing?
Fine, thank you.
Good.
Enjoy your night.
You must be young diplomat, Michael Sullivan.
What my husband always talks about.
It's nice to meet you, an honor.
I'm Melina, his wife Pasha. / Of course, yes.
Pasha praises you,
And Pasha never flattered anyone. >
He gave me a lot of lessons.
This will never work.
Is this a proud father and trying to protect his adopted child?
Don't insult me. </ P>
Can't it be trusted if I can fall in love with him? </ P>
You are who you are. </ P>
You can't trick me.
You gave him my file.
Listen,
If you do something that harm or hurt him,
I will deport you with quickly until your veil is released. </ P>
You know, I have to go. </ P>
I'm sorry, there's something I need to take care of.
How long do you know that person?
He came with the delegation,
We just met. Why?
He tried to bribe me at my hotel in Baghdad.
It seems that he really has connections. Very useful. </ P>
I have to go. </ P>
What did the person do at the party? </ P>
I don't know. </ P>
What is Pasha want?
He threatened me.
Your boss threatened me.
Hello?
Michael, my person succeeded.
You'd better come here to see this.
You won't believe this.
Saddam sells vouchers > discounted oil...
... to the person who turned around, resell the voucher...
... when the price of oil peaked for greater profits.
Saddam got facilitation payments, part of the difference...
... between the discounts with the existing open rates.
How many he made it?
Chances are more than a billion dollars.
For God's sake.
Do we know if this is genuine?
This looks original. And this looks like like a system. </ P>
There is a list of all the big players...
Politicians, businessmen, bankers,
We talk about people with high positions...
At the heart of the world's greatest government,
And they accept millions of dollars in bribes.
This is authentic. Of course this is genuine. </ P>
To prove it, you need the actual transaction record. </ P>
You must give this to Pasha. </ P> >
This is an internal UN problem.
You don't want to be involved in matters like this.
Among encrypted documents, I found this video codec.
How long does it last?
p>
71 minutes. / 71 minutes is a strange time.
I've checked it, but everything stays the same.
Enlarge the image.
Rewind.
I know that.
I already know that. I know...
I know if he is involved.
We must disclose this list to the public.
We can't do that. They will only deny it.
Then what we do is destroy the UN.
You have to find someone to start giving questions.
They will decide what actually happened.
Pasha will be the one who was sacrificed and my career will end.
You are not part of this. / Of course I'm part of this.
I give a speech about the integrity of Oil for Food.
So what, don't do anything? / < br /> I didn't say that.
What happened?
Michael! Stop! </ P>
Michael! </ P>
Hey, man, are you okay? / Yes, yes. </ P>
Do you want me to contact 911? </ P> p>
Where is she? my friend. Pasha, I have a video...
... where did you receive a bribe from him.
You will go inside or we will do this out here?
...dimana kau menerima suap darinya.
Kau akan masuk ke dalam atau kita akan lakukan ini diluar sini?
We will do this outside here.
I accept the share, of course, Why not?
Everyone is like that.
I bet throughout my career for this mission,
Every day.
Go inside, boy, this is cold.
Rasnetsov is a facilitator
He is very dangerous.
Nobody walks in Iraq without his consent.
And who told him? / Bidder supreme.
Moscow, Beijing, Saddam, Financial institutions, mafia, greed.
Rasnetsov is a bridge between political and reality .
And who do you side with, Pasha?
I thought I heard you coming.
Sit down, Michael.
I'll make a call.
Coffee?
Yes, thank you.
Did you enjoy the party last night?
Yes, we are very happy, thank you.
You left so fast. I wonder.
Yes, my friend is not feeling well.
This is the season for flu.
Yes.
I will leave you.
They have submitted to immigration.
All right, he has papers.
I think you will find the letters are gone
He becomes annoyed.
If he is deported to Iraq, they will be executed by treason.
They will send him back to Baghdad where I still have a connection...
No, you contact him again, and tell him...
... I will not submit the list that until Nashim was released.
That's not how it works.
You have to trust me. / I trust you, Pasha!
I trust you and you always screw me up!
Look at our position now .
Committing a crime and accepting bribes.
That is a crime if not do anything.
To see people not < br /> guilty of suffering and death.
What about Dupre and Abhek?
What is the justification for that? / We cannot create a storm.
And we can't control the storm. </ P>
All we can do is to determine the direction,
Extend the screen, and try as much as possible. </ P>
As we planned, and we do.
What's best for Pasha? Best for you.
Not the best for Nashim or best for his people.
Listen, you might love this spy.
Who am I to argue about love?
But don't let him get you killed.
p>
We can help people, but we have to do it our way .
The bus coalition will attack Iraq in a matter of days.
The consensus is changing, and the truth currently is Saddam living history,
And Oil for Food can be a successful framework...
... to build Iraq new free...
... and that is the act of United Nations,
Not a carpet seller and cowardly government...
... who formed this nightmare... The UN can be an important role.
You and me, son.
We can save the world and save your girl.
My compatriots, currently American Coalition Forces...
... did the initial stages of a military operation to paralyze Iraq ,
To free its citizens and defend the world from great danger.
For more than 24 to 48 hours < br /> going forward, maybe as many as 3,000...
3,000 missiles were launched,
Satellite guided bombs in order to hit the target,
The laser guide bomb will be dropped on various targets.
Not only in Baghdad. ..
Around Baghdad, but also in other places around...
Six weeks after the invasion, I returned to Baghdad,
To work out Pasha's plan to make the UN lead...
... redevelopment of new Iraq.
Sanctions have been revoked.
The free market will control the country.
Free elections will give every citizen of the voice,
< i> And the oil that will pay the fee.
Pasha still has a strong connection.
And he keeps promise to me.
Nashim Husseini.
This is good when we are together.
Blank page.
I miss you.
I have something for you.
New passports and visas.
This is. You can stay here as long as you want. </ P>
What about the list? </ P>
I gave it to Pasha. </ P>
You exchanged the list for me?
Yes. I have no choice. Why? </ P>
I made important decisions, okay? </ P>
What do you think will happen to with Pasha now? </ P>
Pasha can still do a lot of goodness in the United Nations.
You dream. I don't dream.
I don't dream, that's not true, understand?
The consensus has changed,
With Saddam coming down, we can do a lot of good.
Only by thinking you can work with criminals...
... to get what you want, you have lost.
This is not a battle that > we can win, right?
I bet all of my life for this.
Who are you to decide that for me?
You said that yourself. </ P>
Ini sangat-sangat rumit.
No, not this section.
This section is very simple.
I don't want to be part of this. / No, no, no...
I can't.
Nashim, wait...
Nashim...
I was told you did not lift your phone.
What the hell?
Yes, I'm very busy. Yes.
I've heard.
Your Kurdish girl chose to leave. </ P>
The relationship is unpredictable. </ P>
Come on, kid. </ P>
You want a career in diplomacy. </ P>
> You missed your golden opportunity. </ P>
See you at the office. </ P>
Pasha, I brought the contract medicine to you for...
I
Pasha.
See you soon.
It's nice to see you again, Michael.
Do you think I like this?
He has a world in his pocket, son.
All big players in reconstruction.
I don't understand. When did he get involved again in this? </ P>
He never left, he only moved in the shadow,
Remembering the bet was getting higher.
There is no one else. We talked about this, Michael.
I won't mess up the deal with him.
What?
This is how it works.
Liberation optimism is only short lived.
It turns out that none > who has a plan...
... to do what after Saddam was overthrown.
America eradicate everyone who is loyal to the government regime,
Which means that can't be left...
... who knows how to manage the country.
Renetsov and others others like him,
Fill in the power void,
And control the game again.
Iraq turned into anarchy, chaos and terror.
All countries working together with Oil for Food before war, p>
They are getting ready for getting a part of Iraq.
It's like a piece of cake a big pie.
And me?
I just followed the plot.
I lost faith < br /> in there.
Hello?
This is Nashim.
Hey.
Are you okay? / I want to meet you.
Can you go downstairs?
Sure. </ P>
Michael, nice to see you. / Yes. </ P>
I want you to meet someone. </ P>
We need your help, Michael. </ P>
We need your help, Michael. p>
Michael Sullivan, Mr. Shaswar Rauf. </ P>
Yes, we met before. </ P>
He has an important role in New Iraq. </ P>
You've heard of people named Resnetsov?
Yes.
Yes? Have met him? </ P>
A few more before the invasion. </ P>
What after the invasion? </ P>
Never. </ P>
Right now he and his criminal gang Oil for Food has returned,
And they make chaos in Iraq.
Yes.
... who helped Saddam make use of Oil for Food.
You know that, & apos; right? / Yes, but it's hard prove what it contains.
no, the evidence is at the Iraqi Petroleum Ministry.
Official files taken by by US forces...
After the government falls.
Evidence that might be UN ground floor building,
Somewhere if anyone wants to search.
Listen, forget about the problem list.
We don't want to list it again. You don't want a list.
Too many people have power. Too political.
It's a greed coalition.
Nobody cares about Iraq.
Everyone only wants money and crude oil.
Yes, and that why we have to stop Resnetsov.
And Pasha can give him to us.
Michael, we have strong information that your boss is involved.
Pasha will never help you.
p>
Maybe he just needs a little encouragement.
And we hope that if possible you can convince him.
Do you think I can convince Pasha? </ p >
Pasha will never do that, he will never listen to you.
We can protect the United Nations from unpleasant effects.
Diplomacy.
What? / Diplomacy.
Something Pasha once told me.
You are currently working with criminal.
This is not the same.
Kurds fight the same war for 7,000 years.
You really think this will change everything?
Who can confirm?
Certainly it doesn't depend on you to decide it.
Come with me.
I can't.
Neonatal medicine .
Yes, it's a new seller. French-Canadian.
They want exclusive rights to the entire Northern Territory.
very greedy, especially for Canadians.
I can... / They must be willing pay 100,000...
... to make that happen .
You take care of the information with Kurds and the Provisional Authority,
I take care of the rat, we share 50-50.
50,000 dollars?
No, shekel. (Israeli Currency)
Gosh, of course the dollar. What's up?
Thank you.
It's nice to meet you again, sir.
And this better situation. Right?
You must be one of the Canadian representatives.
Cutter, sir. No.
Americans. </ P>
I don't...
You didn't tell me Temporary Authority...
... send someone to a routine deal like this.
They don't send people.
We are not here about drugs, Passaris. </ P>
They must be willing pay 100,000...
... to realize that.
You take care of the information with Kurds and the Provisional Authority,
I take care of the rat, we share 50-50.
Gosh, son.
50,000 dollars? / No, shekel.
Gosh, of course the dollar. What the heck?
It's like a surprise party without cake.
What do you want?
Give us Timur Rasnetsov, and quit your position .
Or we will drag you and the United Nations...
... with the biggest scandal in history.
This happens with or without you, with or without me. </ P>
Rasnetsov is protected by a multi-national company...
... who owns the government < br> and ready to protect them...
The same person who made Saddam kneel...
... and put you here...
Hold a trial, judge me.
You think your position on this table is not paid and bought?
We pay for it with life, if that is what you mean.
What you call corruption...
... is a disease that develops in new democracy.
And you're really stupid...
... if you think you can stop that now.
Let politics who are worried about that.
We will take care of the rats.
You want me to commit suicide. We can protect you.
You know that incorrect. / Just set up the meeting.
Give him an envelope for a Canadian agreement.
We will catch him.
What the hell? </ P>
Pretty good, kid. </ P>
A good game. </ P>
He's late. </ P>
The time to come in Iraq < br /> will be filled with hope.
We are children today.
We are all Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds...
Turkey, Christians, Yazidis...
And we will live with peace together.
Yes?
The country is a bastard.
May I join you?
I will retreat and go home.
I lost my appetite for it.
I want you to hear that from me.
I recommend you for a position at UNESCO.
Special Assistant.
You will be the youngest special assistant in the whole UN.
Do you know?
Gosh, Son. </ P>
Why do you think that? </ P>
They're crazy people, kill each other every day. </ P>
That's the truth. </ P>
That's your truth, Pasha.
And I'm not part of it anymore.
Don't. Don't act stupid.
You can't fight the storm.
New York September, 2003
I realize everyone knows about corruption.
They just don't want it exposed.
Every permanent member of Security Council... < /p>
... fear of losing something,
Someone in the list that can embarrass them.
It will all be covered.
But the UN cannot survive from this lie.
I have to do something.
Bet something for make changes.
If I want to sort the achievement,
We will be here until tomorrow,
But during the 40 years of his devotion to the world peace movement...
... and our humanitarian mission,
Achievement of coronation...
... must be the implementation of its success...
... and the operation of Oil for Food.
Hi. I'm Trevor Owen from Oversight Department. </ P>
I talked to John before. </ P>
File Saddam's greatness. / Right, yes. </ P>
Which box? / Everyone. </ P>
They sealed it for the public, but because you are from Supervision,
And as long as you don't bring something with you...
Please craze.
Thank you.
Passaris, good work. Thank you. </ P>
Where is Michael? / He clears his desk, sir. </ P>
I think I found it. </ P>
Do you know what to do?
The main family.
My name is Michael Sullivan,
And I have a story that I think you want to hear.
This is is the approximate number of how many are involved,
And that's billions, not millions.
Gosh.
And this is a list of everyone < br /> who received a receipt,
Bribe and grease.
You can associate these names with deposit notes,
Here with a list of contracts in the file.
This is so big, Jesse.
You realize this moment is revealed,
You will get many enemies.
Yes, I know.
We can protect you,
Cite you as a secret source.
No, anonymity is < br /> part of the problem.
If someone takes responsibility for the truth,
So we leave it to consensus.
I have to get that.
We start tonight with the United Nations,
Oil Controversy for Food, and scandal.
And the decision from the party American Senator Union...
... for the resignation of Kofi Annan.
Obviously this is a serious accusation,
What we need to handle seriously.
UN Secretary General today...
< i>... ordered an investigation of Costa Passaris.
Former deputy secretary who according to the news revealer...
... is the mastermind behind the Oil for Food scandal,
That shook the United Nations,
As well as involving a long list of from big businessmen,
and political figures all over the world.
Incompetent and corrupt.
Some companies have been investigated...
Weaknesses of Oil For Food program...
... raises serious questions about UN capabilities...
... to enforce sanctions and manage...
... the future assistance program.
The Telegraph Document has been found,
And reportedly found in the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs building...
... a few days after the US invaded.
Wall Street Journal...
... report having documentation about recipients of bribes and facilitation...
... in the form of vouchers that are worth billions of dollars.
But according to the party federal authorities,
Passaris itself has left leaving country.
Cyprus May, 2004
I am from the Wall Street Journal.
We continue from Oil scandal For Food. </ P>
I came here to listen to the side of your story. </ P>
I have no side of the story. </ P>
And that's a story written by that boy. </ P>
p>
I didn't run away, got it? Make sure you write it.
Don't hide from anyone.
But you're in place which is without extradition.
That's complicated.
Write it.
Chaos with bad Saddam's lies...
... as well as the first world deceptions generally,
But we do more good than bad .
I don't care what other people say.
And that child does his best.
The choice that I see is between cynicism and openness.
If everyone cares so much about Iraq as they say,
So this story will be celebrated as a conspiracy of saviors.
But in fact...
In fact this is not a matter of the lies we say to each other.
But about the lies we say to ourselves.
More than 2,000 companies from 56 different countries...
... accept bribes or give a facilitation to Saddam Hussein.
More than 20 billion dollars were transferred from the Oil for Food Program.
Involved several large corporations in the world.
172 organizations and individuals,
Have a high chance their government accepts bribes.
My name is Michael Sullivan.
My father is a diplomat.
I tried to follow the trail step.
Michael left overseas services to cover global conflicts in Congo,
Afghanistan and Iraq, for organizations big news in the US and Europe.
His scandalous disclosure leads to the most important reforms...
... in the history of the United Nations.
Pasha never left his exile,
And remain under the FBI indictment.
