"Cruise missiles and air strikes raining down here in a relentless assault on Baghdad." "There is no doubt tonight that war has begun and the Iraqi capital is experiencing shock and awe." (bomb whistles) (explosion) (people screaming) (gunfire) (sirens) (radio crackling) Alright everybody, listen up. It is a military storage site. Diwaniya. Intel estimates possible nerve agents, choking agents, live packages, chemical-tip missiles. 101st has been here all morning. Site is secure. Everybody, stay focused. This is it. (gunfire) Shots fired, right side, 100 metres, sir! We got shots fired, right side, 100 metres. (people shouting) Move, move. (gunfire / soldier screams) Who is the officer in charge? Hey! Who's in charge? Right here. Chief Miller. MET Delta. What the fuck are all these looters doing? This is a WMD site, this is a high-priority site. I don't have enough men to set up a perimeter. We got a sniper in this tower. The big tower at the back? Yeah. I do not have enough men to go in and secure that compound. Listen, intel says we got live chemical agents in this site, OK? We gotta move. These looters, I don't know what they're carrying. I gotta get into this site. I'm going in. You can't go in. If you take your team in, it's on you. Gather round, gather round. Here's the situation. 102st sent 35 men down here. They don't have this place secured so here's where we are now. The weapons are in the northwest end of the complex. There's a sniper in the big tower there. We'll have to take him out. I'm gonna take a recon element. I need Siefkes, Marshall and Johnson. You come with me. Potts, Michaels, I need EOD. Conway, bring Sims also. Stand by. Chief, I gotta talk to you. This is fucked. Listen, this is a disaster. It is. They haven't secured dick. I don't think we should go in yet. No, no. Jerry, I got no idea what is coming out here. I gotta go right now. Keep comms open. I'll be on five. Get a second team ready. Move, move... OK. Let's get this shit off the truck. Siefkes, stay on the back. Your shooters will take you in. We ready? Yes, sir. Go! Go, go, go! The sniper! Where is he? He's right up there. OK, everyone, listen up. Michaels, listen. The WMD are in this building. I need you to work your way to the rear. See if you can get an angle on that sniper. Take Siefkes with you, take Sims also with the long rifle. I gotta get across this alley. I need some cover fire. Alright? OK. When the 203 goes, we go down on the left side. Let's go! Move, move! Let's go. Move, move. "I got him. He's on the sixth floor, southeast corner room." I'm gonna draw him out. As soon as you see him, take him. "Roger." (gunfire) Now, now, now! (man yells) Got him? "Got him." Three coming out! Michaels, send Siefkes over. Go, go, go. Potts, Keating, go. Go. Second team, move. Let's go. Move! Moving! In. Alright, break out the gear. I want everyone in full MOPP. You heard. Roll those seals tight. (beeping) No readings in here, Chief. Alright, Conway, open it up. Nothing but toilet parts over here. Is this all pigeon shit? Yeah. Looks like it's been here ten years. This is no WMD site. "Chief, we find anything?" Site's empty. (helicopter whirring) Hey, where did that intel come from? Do you want me to double-check the target number? We are in the right location. Schematic is right. But who did it originate with? Did this come from the United Nations? According to this, this is our intel. But how would they think something was there? This is the third straight time. Let's go. You heard the chief. Move out. Pack this shit up and let's go. Let's go! Move. Zubaidi will be on the middle chopper. Keep tight on his exit. Swing it around. DOD guy's here to meet him. "..reporting to you live from the tarmac..." How's it going? A great day. Yeah, you finally got him here. Well, we feel like we're making progress, that's important. So what about the weapons? I am frustrated by that too. We're doing everything we can. We'll find them, don't worry. The world is watching, they want to know where they are. Make sure Zubaidi and I are in the lead car, OK? Jack, I want your guys to tail us. Got it, sir. Mark... What? I need the source, I need Magellan. Do you have any idea how sensitive this is? We have Magellan locked up so tight, I'm not even sure I can get to him. You're the administration's go-to guy and you can't access your own source? Lawrie, we're debriefing him. It takes time. That comes first. Christ, I've given you everything I got. What more do you want? I don't want hear from you, I want to hear from him. I'll see what I can do. Welcome home, sir. We'll make this very brief. How does it feel to be back? Did you ever think you'd see this day? I am an Iraqi citizen returning free to the city of my birth. I call on all Iraqis to celebrate our liberation from tyranny. (faint military radio messages) Where's Colonel Bethel? He's in the back, Chief. I'll meet you over here. Yeah. I'll meet you there. Hey, sir. Good to see you, Chief. What's going on with the intel? You don't want to get into that. There was nothing there. These sites are empty. Be careful. There's gonna be a shit storm around here. What do you mean? They're blaming us for not moving faster. We have to stay on task. Bullshit. Intel's no good. Let's not make waves. They don't want to hear that in Washington. All they want is finding something they can hold up on CNN. We gotta talk about this. The intel is a problem. Now is not the time. Room. On your feet. Take your seats, people. We are here to give the general a check on where we are on our search for WMD and our plans for the next 48 hours. To that end I'm turning the floor over to Captain Jonathan Vaught. Welcome, sir. Today we're gonna be briefing you on WMD operations due to take place in the Baghdad area over the next 24 hours. We continue with high-priority sites since the folks back home are anxiously awaiting the news that that we've found these weapons. We have a detailed media plan we've worked out. We've coordinated with the public affairs folks. We have a good plan that involves the top-rated media in the US and UK so they're prepared to cover all aspects of good news. Yes? I have a couple of questions about the intel for tomorrow. Are we sure this is accurate? It is solid, it's good to go. What is the source? It is a human source intel. Er, but it's solid, it's current, as of 0400. Was it the same source we've been using on... Every site we've hit on the way up here, we've rolled a doughnut. (murmuring) Chief, how about we do this? Let's talk off line. Give me a list of the places where you went and the grids and we'll check you had the right information, the right places. The issue isn't the grid. The issue is that there's nothing there. Stand down, Chief. We need to move on here. Hold on, hold it a second. Let's hear what the chief has to say. OK, sir, I'll give you an example. We rolled into a site - Diwaniya - last week. 101st took casualties securing it for us. We got in there and found it was a toilet factory. I'm saying there's a disconnect between what's in these packets and what we're seeing on the ground. There's a problem with the intelligence, sir. Here's the thing. These intelligence packages have all been vetted. They're good. Your job is to execute 'em, not worry about how they're put together Are we clear on that? Yes, sir. Good. Let's continue. Sir, as I was saying, the intel's as recent as 0400 this morning. It's actionable, it's solid. The next stop's Al Mansour, Baghdad. Looks like it's an underground storage site. We got about 12 klicks of open highway to the city. There's a lot of activity on that road. Everybody, keep their head up. Chief. Yeah? I'll get the lead teams up. Yeah, yeah. Martin Brown, CIA. Roy Miller. I know. I saw you at the meeting. You're going to the Al Mansour site in Baghdad? Yeah. You're wasting your time. UN biological team hit it two months ago. There's nothing there. Fuck me. Here's my card. You're right. This thing doesn't add up. We walk in here, find the goddamn cupboard is bare. There's something wrong here. We got to figure out what it is. Find anything, you got my number. (faint radio messages) (music blares over radio) I gotta get some pictures of this. Be my guest. Hey, incoming. Fuckin' Potts! You red-headed dick! (crowd shouting) Wilkins, this is Chief. Get up here. Please get back. Please. Get a couple of guys and clear out this traffic. We're too exposed. We gotta keep moving. Hey, hey. Don't you fuckin' touch me! Hey! Shut the fuck up. Hey, hey! What's going on, Sergeant? They're pissed off. They have no water. All they want is water. Nothing we can do about that. We got to get our vehicles moving. I want you to get the men back in the vehicles now. Hey! Get the fuck back in your vehicle! (horn toots) Don't stop. No, sir. Winter is coming. And if you want to have anything to say around the water cooler, then get ready, because we're giving you SoHo or Neon, including the new season of Game of Thrones, plus all the best shows from around the world for a whole year. and get unlimited SoHo or Neon for a year. That's enough dire wolves, dragons and White Walkers to keep you talking till next winter. 1 OK, so we're convening an Iraqi freedom convention inside the Green Zone tomorrow. We expect to have representatives from all three main ethnic groups, the Kurds, the Shia and the Sunni, angling for different levels of power. It is our hope that Ahmed Zubaidi will emerge in a leadership position. Ben, are you satisfied that we're in a good place now? "I think we are, except for the press we're getting from this looting issue." OK, well, let's table that for now. In terms of stabilisation - Zubaidi hasn't been here for 30 years. He's the best bet we have now for a stable democracy. You find me ten guys in Baghdad who even know who he is. Well, he's our friend, Marty. Our officers are satisfied with the information we have gotten from him. Zubaidi has been selling us shit for years. He's not reliable, his intelligence is not reliable, his report chain is not reliable. This is exactly why people lose confidence in the Agency. You question every piece of intelligence we get, up to the point where we can't make progress. You cannot hand this country to an unknown exile and a bunch of Washington interns. You're our Middle East expert. You got a better idea, why not throw it out? We need to use the Iraqi army to help us. This country is a powder keg of ethnic divisions. They're the only ones who can hold this place together. We can't sell that to the US people. We beat the Iraqi army. They're still out there, looking for a place in the new Iraq. They'll wait a long time. They didn't all follow Saddam. There are some we can work with if it's worth their while. Let me tell you, we have spent too much American treasure, and lives, for us to put a Baathist general into a position of power. Have you any idea what's going on outside the Green Zone? It's chaos, no police, revenge killings every night. Yeah. People are asking why we can't stop this. Democracy is messy! If you dismantle this country and cut out the army you'll have civil war in six months. I guarantee it. OK, let's move on. (exchange greetings) "..we're continuing to hold at the intersection of Alpha Charlie 3." (shouting) Hey, what's going on there, Wilkins? "Chief, there is a local here who's out of control." I'm on my way. Back up! What's going on? What's going on, Sergeant? He says he needs to talk to you about something. He goes on and on. Stay down. Why are you doing this? You are aggressive? Hey, Parry, let him up. You agree? Up? I can stand up now? Why you are doing this? Why you are doing this? You agree someone put your head in the dust? You agree be treated like this? This is not fair. Hey, calm down. I'm trying to calm down but this guy put me on the floor. Are you finished? Yes, I'm finished. What's your name? Farid Jusip Abdullah. You call me Freddy. I have information. I was driving five minutes from here, I saw some people, Saddam's men, Baathist people, they are meeting near to here. I saw you... and I don't know... You're digging. OK, calm down. Hey, calm down, calm down. Why should I believe you, Freddy? You think it's easy to come and talk to American? Think it's easy? I come here, all these people are looking at me on the floor. I want to speak quietly. And you are digging! Why are you digging? You need to talk to these people. You know what they say? You think someone can put something in this place, with these people watching and these people don't know? It is not logical. I am here to help you, OK? Now... Come with me, Freddy. Come with me. Chief, you're good? Yeah, I'm fine. Chief? Chief? What are we doing? I need his car keys. Freddy, give him your car keys. My keys? Chief, you don't believe this guy? I want to go low viz on this. I want to take Freddy's car and I want to get maybe one other. If we roll over there in Humvees, they'll see us coming. I want to take Keating, Potts, Bronner on comms. You get Michaels with the saw and bring Perry over here. What's up, Chief? You ready to go to work? Yeah, Chief. Chief, let me talk to you. What? Chief, our mission is here. You want to dig holes all day? I want to get something done. Here's the situation. This Iraqi showed up with information that two or three K west is a meeting right now. Possible high-value targets. I want to move on it. In the first car I want to take the Iraqi guy, Freddy. Keating, you drive, I'll ride shotgun, Potts, you're in back, covering Freddy. The rest of you, in the pick-up. Questions? Chief, how do we know this guy isn't leading us into a fuckin' ambush? We don't. Put your fuckin' game face on. Roger. Boolah. (all) Boolah. Alright, let's roll. Freddy, right? I'm Potts. Nice to meet you. (clears throat) OK, Sergeant, I want you to carry on straight, take your next left and go around the back. "Roger that, Chief." If you stop here it's the house on that corner. OK. Pull up here. OK, be advised it is the house on the southeast corner, the big white house with the wall. Heads up. Someone is coming out. There are six or seven men with guns We got a guy with a briefcase, another with an AK-47. "Perry, where are you? You in position?" In position, Chief. We got 'em. Black BMW with three men. I want to take the BMW. We're gonna cut him off. I want to take the BMW and then the house. Go, go, go! Go, go, go! Get out of the fuckin' door now! Perry, that door! Go, go, go! On me! (shouting) Let's go! Go, go, go! Down, down, down! Clear! I got no exit! Where's the back door? Heading upstairs! Stairs down! Come with me! Down, down! With you, Chief. (people shouting) Major fire! Get back! Ready to hook right? Hook right. I got stairs up. Clear. This is Chief. Give me a sit rep. "Got one wrapped up." "All clear out front." "This is Parry. I need you up here right away." Coming in! (women and children shrieking and crying) Listen, it's OK. Your husband is OK. Do something. They don't understand what I'm saying! That's the mother. Tell her to calm down. Say calm down. (speaks a few words) I don't understand her dialect. Don't let any of them leave the room There's a body down there. Don't let 'em leave. Got it, Chief. Ma'am, you cannot go downstairs. You cannot go downstairs. (shouting continuing) Shut up. (man shouts) Shut up! Watch yourself, Potts. Get Freddy in here. Stand him up. I'm gonna talk to him. (man shouts) Freddy, come here. I don't want this. I need you - I give information, I don't want this. I need you to ask him questions. Tell him you're my translator. (speaks Arabic) Ask him... What is this shit? This on him? It was in his back pocket. (shouts) He say he doesn't do anything. Ask him his name. (Freddy interprets) His name is Seyyed Hamza. Seyyed Hamza. Is this his house? Is this your house? Listen, tell him to answer me or things are going to go very bad. Ask him what the meeting was about. Chief, I just got off the phone. That licence plate belongs to General Mohammed Al Rawi, the jack of clubs. (Hamza shouts) Shut the fuck up. Michaels, do you have that deck of cards? Yeah. Give me a jack of clubs. Is that the guy? The guy who went out the back? Here it is. Let me see. (Hamza shouts) Is that the guy? That's the guy. I just saw him. That's the fuckin' guy. I saw him downstairs. This man, this is Saddam's top general. (Hamza speaks) Al Rawi? He don't know. You know him? Al Rawi? Al Rawi is in this house? I saw him. (Freddy speaks / Hamza spits) (all shout) OK, time's up. Get everybody ready! We're leaving! Alright. He's gotta know about WMD. He's coming with me. Hey, Freddy, come with me. Michaels. What's up, Chief? Bring 'em over to the wall. Potts, get the guy and bring him to me. Roger that, Chief. Just sit him down against the wall. Yes, sir. Sit those guys over there. Come over here, Freddy. I need you to translate. Tell him I want to know about weapons of mass destruction. Does he know where the weapons are? What? What do you know about weapons? Where are the weapons? He says that only General Al Rawi know about these things. The special programme is under his hand personal. He's the only one who know the truth about these things. OK. How do I find Al Rawi? How do I find Al Rawi? Can you protect his family? If you protect my family I will tell you how you find him and from him you will know the truth. OK. You got a deal. Ask him about the book. What is it? Is it codes, diagrams, maps? (helicopters whir) Fuck. You Miller? Yeah. Where are the other two? Two what? Missing two bucks. These are my guys. (all shouting) Hey! That's my translator! What the fuck is going on? I got a colonel waiting on these guys. I got orders to get them back! They're en route now! Calm down. This goes higher than your people. Just stand there. (shouting) He's mine now. Let's go. (shouting) Come on. (Hamza) The book! He's got my book! Chief, what the fuck's going on? Fuck. I got it. Says some guy took a book off him. Book? He said something about a book? What? He says you've got his fuckin' book. You have his notebook. Don't fuck around. What are you talking about? Get your fuckin' hands off, asshole!

"I don't have time to play games, so tell me what you got." This morning I came face to face with Mohammed Al Rawi. General Al Rawi? Yeah, the jack of clubs. "Come in and talk to me." I'm in the Green Zone, Republican Palace by the pool. I'm on my way. Hey, Sergeant Wilkins. I gotta talk to you. We gotta get our prisoner back and find this Al Rawi. Let Bethel handle the police. Bethel can't see past his files. You're gonna ring the doorbell - No, I'll use the book and trade up and get help! What are you talking about? Why do we come up empty on these sites? There's gotta be a reason. We're here to do a job and get home safe. The reasons don't matter. They matter to me. With all due respect, Chief, I can't go with you. Understood. I'll split the team. I'll take my team plus Sgt Perry. You report back to Bethel with everyone else. Hey, Freddy. You want a job? Yes. Good. Get in your car, follow us. Where to, Chief? Republican Palace. It's not a good time, Lawrie. I've waited long enough. I told you I'm doing my best. This is not what I signed up for. I put my reputation on the line with these stories. I am not going to let you hang me out to dry. Huge things are at stake. I won't compromise them cos you need to sell papers. You knew the deal. I give you Magellan, you give me anonymity. That's it, Clark, I'm done waiting. So is the paper. You won't help me find Magellan, I'll find someone who can. (pop music playing) (man) Get me some more beers, please. (woman laughs) Oh, my goodness. We got enough time for that? These guys have got Domino's pizza and fuckin' beer? I gotta go talk to this guy. You're on your own for a while. Roger that. Can we have beer? Not one. What happened? We were digging at a site. Local come up to us and give us a tip that there was a meeting with some high-value targets nearby. We hit the house, the guy was right. Al Rawi was there. Are you sure it was him? Positive. He had a security detail with him. We exchanged fire and he slipped out during the firefight. That's the book that I took off this guy, Seyyed Hamza. He was the host. I was in the process of figuring out what it was when SF showed up and snatched him. Goddamn. OK, but where did they take him? Because if you can get me access to this guy, I'll get Al Rawi. We're both after the WMD, right? It's more complicated than that. Not to me, it isn't. Alright, I'll get you reassigned. There's some empty buildings on one side of the compound. Get out of uniform, report in my office in an hour. Outstanding. How did you get the bloody nose? Oh, that's a long story. You're in the 85th. That's WMD unit, right? How do you know that? It's right there on your rifle. Lawrie Dayne, The Wall Street Journal. How's it going? Er, you know, we haven't found shit yet. Hey, Sergeant Perry. We'll find it. It's frustrating, right? Little bit. What were you and Marty talking about? I can't talk to you about that. Oh, come on. You come in fresh off the field to have a lemonade with Martin Brown? Something's gotta be going on. Well, you could ask him. I'm asking you. Does it make sense to you that we're still coming up empty? No. No, it doesn't. Someone told us they were there, right? If you come across anything... ..call me. I'll keep it in mind. "Where is Al Rawi?" "(Hamza shouts / sobs)" How long have they been going? For about ten minutes. "You've got five kids? You want them to see their father? (Hamza sobs)" (interpreter) "He says please don't bother my family in this situation." "You're involved, so your family is involved." "All I want is an answer." "We look for this man and you can walk out of here." "Where is Al Rawi? (Hamza groans)" "I want a name or an address." "Somewhere I can find General Al Rawi." "I am gonna get an answer. You're gonna tell me." "I'm gonna let go and you're gonna give me an address." "Where is Al Rawi? Where is he?" "(Hamza) The book, the book!" "He says you need the book." "Fuckin' book. What's in the book?" "That's how you find it." ("Hamza speaks Arabic)" "It has the names and locations of Al Rawi's safe houses." Chief Miller around? Up the stairs, down on the right. (knock at door) Hey, Chief. Clark Poundstone, Pentagon special intelligence unit. Did a great job bagging Hamza. Thanks. Appreciate it. Walk you out? Sure. You're with our MET team? Yeah. The administration appreciates the work you are doing. We gotta get this WMD issue behind us so we can get on with the challenges of the future. That's where this Hamza could be helpful. He's confirmed a few facts. Says you guys might have lifted a notebook? Everything I got off him I gave to Martin Brown. Why don't you ask him? Marty wouldn't go for that. Helluva guy but he's been in the Middle East a long time. He has a lot of preconceived ideas. Our unit's trying to get back to the raw intel. I don't want to throw Marty under a bus but he doesn't like what we're coming up with. He's a dinosaur. We need to get some new thinking going on. There's an opportunity for you here, Miller. I know Marty has pulled you temporarily but if you're looking for something permanent, I can help. We're doing a good thing. We're gonna rebuild this place. People are watching us. I'll keep it in mind. You do that. If you hear anything about that notebook, let me know. Your friend from Pentagon special intelligence came to see me. Poundstone? Yeah. Poundstone. His unit pushed all that WMD intel you've been chasing your tail on. You mean Magellan? Who is Magellan? Have you ever met him? No. Poundstone has him locked up tight. We gotta find out what's going on. Here's the deal. We checked the notebook. It's addresses around Baghdad, mostly Adhamiya. It's a Sunni stronghold. Very sympathetic to the army. It's likely that's where Al Rawi is. The book is probably his line of communication. Are we set? We're waiting on military support. Push 'em hard. I want to get every address in that book. What could the meeting be about? What'd you talk about if you got invaded? You think Al Rawi wants to fight? If we don't make him an offer, he will. You're gonna cut a deal? A deal with the jack of clubs? What do you think you're doing here, Miller? You're off reservation for a reason. What is it? I came to find weapons and save lives and I didn't find shit. I want to know why. There are no easy answers. You want that, work with Poundstone. All we got is hard choices. You want to know what happened to the weapons, we've got to find Al Rawi. He'll give us the truth about WMD and give us a shot at standing this country up without a bloodbath. You want the job or not? Yeah, I want it. Good. Hamza's being held at the high-value target wing at Camp Cropper. Poundstone has him under wraps. How you gonna get to him? I'm not. You are. Here's a pass. We got another prisoner there we can use to get you in. Low-level Republican Guard, way below their radar. Use him as an excuse to get to Hamza. There's a million dollars in cash. Tell Hamza the money is his if he gives us what we need. You tell him if he gives Al Rawi to me, keeps his mouth shut over there till I bring him in, I'll have him and his family out of the country by the end of the week. You want me to tell him to not talk to the American interrogator? Right. I thought we were all on the same side. Don't be naive. Miller. Pentagon just revoked your transfer. You're being released back to your unit, effective immediately. You chose the wrong side. Follow me, Freddy. We gotta move fast. Hey! (shouting) What the hell are you playing at? Get me Langley. You will hand over all information - White House authorisation. DC's got too much riding on this to have you and some Baathist generals fuck it up. Martin. Langley confirms. Got it. Stay out of this, Martin. Use local assets. It's high priority. (Tannoy announcements) Stay close to me, Freddy. Get him down. OGA. Here to see a prisoner. What's up, Sarge? Hey, Sergeant. Sir. Here to see Abdullah Farhat. I have to search your bag. Who's this? This is my translator. Arms up, legs apart. Check it out. What's that in the pocket? My cigarettes. Good to go. Here you go, sir. Take 'em back to IR-1. (men shouting and calling in Arabic) Right here. That's not necessary, Sergeant. Standard procedure, sir. (breathes heavily) I have to have a classified conversation. You can step outside. Roger, sir. I'll be outside. (speaks Arabic) Do you know why they brought him here? He's here because he's in the Republican Guard, Freddy. (knocks) Hey, Sergeant. This guy just gave us a piece of intel. You have a prisoner in your HVT wing named Seyyed Hamza. He can ID him for me. I got to get him here and ID him real quick. You need an EJ75 for that. Guys, I got a live op going. I got a team in place. I gotta do this now. How long will it take? Two minutes. Just two minutes? That's it, come on. Alright. Good, let's go. Hey, Freddy. Coming in for ID check. (pop music playing) Hey, Hamza. Get up. (coughs) (speaks Arabic) Get a med. I said get a medic! Hey, get the medics on the floor. (whispers) He said, "Why did you do this to me?" He said the general did everything you asked of him in the meeting. What meeting? (coughs) What meeting?! Jordan. He just said Jordan. Clear the way, clear the way. What is going here? Come through. What does he mean, Jordan? (hubbub) (voices) I need to talk to you about Magellan. I'm gonna call you right back. What you got? I read your articles. You said an Iraqi WMD source named Magellan met with US officials before the war. I need to know about that meeting. Come on, Miller, I can't discuss my sources with you. Well, did you ever meet the guy? You know who he is? Of course I didn't. He's an Iraqi internal, for Christ's sakes. How do you know what he's saying is true? Because I made contact through a reliable intermediary. Reliable? Yes. Have you even been to any of Magellan's sites? You ever been to Diwaniya? Tikrit? No. There's nothing there. Magellan's intel is bullshit. Who's the intermediary? I'm not discussing sources. Jesus Christ, this is the reason we went to war. Alright, then, at least tell me how it happened. How does somebody like you write something that's not true? Tell me. What do you know? Look, I... I got a phone call one day from, um, a senior official in DC. He says, "I've got a story for you, the truth about Saddam's WMD programmes." So I go to meet him. He puts the source report in my hands. Magellan's product, the raw intel. But when you checked the story... He was a senior official, for Christ's sakes. He had access to Magellan's debrief. All he asked was that I not disclose the location of the meeting. The location? Yes. In case I compromised the source. It was Jordan, wasn't it? The meeting was in Jordan. Yes. You can keep your million dollars. Al Rawi's Magellan. They're debriefing Magellan. They've got him held tight. Supposing they don't? John, take care of the money. Hamza said Al Rawi met US officials in Jordan. Dayne said the same thing about Magellan. That's not a coincidence. Maybe. It doesn't make any sense. If Poundstone met Al Rawi in Jordan, what's he hiding? What if he told him something he didn't want to hear? What if he told him there were no WMD? I want Al Rawi's movements outside Iraq, January, February 2003, anything you've got. I'm on it. It makes sense - the bad intel, why our teams came up empty at the sites Maybe we're looking at this the wrong way around. It's a theory. I've got no proof. Don't be naive. Sir. Mohammed Al Rawi was in Amman, Jordan on February 5th 2003. Three days before Magellan came online. Get me Clark Poundstone's movements, same period. Sir, we got a DOD Gulfstream on the same date. Passenger Clark Poundstone out of Washington DC to Amman, Jordan. Martin, we're getting reports of an attack on an Al Rawi safe house. South Adhamiya. Poundstone is hunting Al Rawi. He doesn't want the truth to get out. I need to know where the next safe house is. (computer beeps) (gunshot) All clear, Chief. Send Freddy! Yes, sir! Freddy, on the move. Freddy, I need you to translate. Tell him I need to get a message to General Al Rawi. Tell him I need to meet Al Rawi tonight. (phone rings) Chief Miller on the phone for you, sir. Yeah? "I got him." Tahir Al Malik. One of Al Rawi's battalion commanders. Where is he? "I let him go." Look, I told him to get a message to Al Rawi. I told him I'd meet him at the Adhamiya bus station tonight. If I can bring him in alive, we'll have proof. "If he talks, we'll get the truth about WMD." Alright. You get in front of Al Rawi, offer him whatever you have to. "You pull this off, maybe we can still hold this place together." I'm headed there now. You are serious to do a deal with Mohammed Al Rawi? You know what already he do to this country? We're just trying to save lives, Freddy. There are people who think he can stop an insurgency. Alright, we're going to Adhamiya. We're going alone, so weapons check, comms check, make sure you're 100%. We got no support. Can I get I radio check? Miller, what you are doing? Look at what's happening. I just need you to do your job tonight, Freddy. Let's roll. (knock on door) Sign up to Vodafone's unlimited broadband data and home phone for 12 months Winter is coming.

Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, "officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans, "major combat operations in Iraq have ended." "In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." (phone rings) Yeah. "This is Briggs." We got a problem. My local assets are down. I got a report saying it was US Army took him out and nobody called it in. Where's Miller? Stand by. Listen up. I need everybody on a Blue Force Tracker, MET Delta 85th XTF. Sir. He's moving northwest towards Adhamiya. ETA? 12 minutes, sir. "ETA 12 minutes." He's meeting with Al Rawi. Son of a bitch. He's on his way there now. What do you want me to do? "Follow Miller." He'll lead you right to him. When you find Al Rawi, take that son of a a bitch out. What about Miller? "He's off reservation." "Miller can't bring in Al Rawi." Don't let him get in the way. I want to make that announcement. Now? Just make it happen. This is Vanguard 6 on the airborne command. I want an ISO on military radio and cell phone transmissions for a three-mile radius. Alpha 1, this is Vanguard 6. Alpha 1, this is Vanguard 6. Vanguard 6, this is Alpha 1. We have a high-value target identified, Mohammed Al Rawi. This is a kill, no catch, mission. Roger that. We're on our way. Poundstone has just called a press briefing. It's something big, Marty. This is the bus station. It's just over there. Stagger two teams. I'm gonna move across to the kiosk, you give me 30 seconds to get across, then follow. (hissing) (speaks Arabic) Someone just showed up. I'm gonna follow. Two minutes to the announcement. He's going out the central alley, west. Thank you all for coming at such short notice. We have a major announcement. This follows in lockstep with our commitment to eliminate the tyranny of Saddam Hussein and expeditiously transform Iraq into a modern, functioning democracy Ambassador Bremer has just signed an order immediately disbanding Iraq's remaining military forces. (hubbub) The Coalition Provisional Authority dissolves the entirety of Iraq's military and paramilitary forces. and national security."

"In addition, Iraq's ruling Baath party is dissolved with immediate effect." "Party members will be summarily fired from central and local government offices, hospitals, universities, schools and other public institutions." "This is the dawn of new leadership in Iraq and let the world take note, change is coming to the Middle East at last." (whispering voices) Still moving southwest, southwest. "Copy that." You got him? Yeah, I see him. I lost contact. I lost contact. (tyres squeal) Fuck! Get an ambulance! Goddamn it! Did he get in the vehicle? Let's go! This is MET Team D! "We need help. American solider kidnapped!" "We need help here!" "All units, we need help in Adhamiya district." Copy that. This is Vanguard 6. What's your position and status? Vanguard 6, we're five blocks south of Adhamiya bus station. "Kidnappers heading east in two cars." Roger that. I need you to return to your vehicles and await instructions Falcon 16, this is Vanguard 6. We have a US soldier abducted. We need eyes on those vehicles now. Vanguard 6, this is Falcon 16. Currently two klicks northeast of Adhamiya. Establishing an area perimeter sweeping Adhamiya. AOR - 87 Alpha Tango. Gotta get him outta there. Get me Chief Miller now.

It's a klick from here. (shouting) 1 1 Who are you? General, my name's Roy Miller. I'm a chief warrant officer with the US Army. What do you want? I came here to bring you in. General, I'm aware that you had contact with a US official in the weeks leading up to the war. I know you were ready to tell him about Iraq's WMD programmes. What programmes? There are no programmes. I told your official. We dismantled everything after '91. He told my government that you confirmed that the programmes were still active. He lied about what you said. That's why we're here. Did anyone verify his story? No. Your government wanted to hear the lie, Mr Miller. They wanted Saddam out. And they did exactly what they had to do. This is why you are here. Go. Alpha 1, this is Vanguard 6. Give me your location. Vanguard 6, this is Alpha 1. We're half a klick away. "Split up." Alpha team take the west side. Bravo team, east. I got north / south. Move to a south position away from my goal. "Roger that." So... do you have a message for me? General, if you come in with me,... ..there are still people in Washington who will work with you, people who understand that we still need the Iraqi army to hold this place together. Then why is your government disbanding the army? Making us outlaws? Why take Iraq apart piece by piece? Why? I risked my life... to tell you the truth about WMD. "Tell the truth and you'll have a place in the new Iraq," they said. So where is my place, Mr Miller? On a deck of cards. Why are you really here, Miller? You were supposed to lead me into a trap. You will tell me now how they are planning to take me. Everybody in position? Vanguard Bravo in position. "Vanguard 6, this is Bravo 1. We're ready." Vanguard 6, this is Alpha 1. We're in position. You have to come in with me, General. You will get nothing if you fight us. You have to come in now before it's too late. ..just because you are in Baghdad? You will see... ..it has only just begun. Let's go. Grenade! Go, go! Man down! Hit the rooftop! Go! Clear! Stairs down! B team, go left. Last guy with me. Let's go. (gunfire) I've got something. Sir, I've got two hostiles headed east. Sir, I've got one more. One friendly in pursuit. Halt. "Vanguard 6, this is Falcon 16." Two hostiles and one friendly have exited site and are now moving through alleys northeast of your location. "Keep the area clear. I'm activating my transponder." Bring me in. I want to cut him off. (shouts) (women shriek) Get down, get the fuck down! Vanguard 6, this is Falcon 16. Targets have lost the friendly. Targets are now moving north. "Turn 45 degrees left. Maintain intersecting course." Turn, turn! (shouting) (women scream) I've lost visual contact. (child cries) I got 'em. Vanguard 6, this is Falcon 16. Keep going your current direction. The target is crossing open ground headed north. RPG! Shit! (gunfire / shouting) Walk over. (explosions in distance) Stop there. Are you sure this is what they want back in Washington? Put that weapon down! Now, Freddy! What the fuck did you do?! It is not for you to decide what happens here. (faint shouts) Get out of here, Freddy. Go home. We're gonna be locking this area down, soldiers everywhere. Go now. While you can. "Keep moving. Heavy fire..." "Keep moving. Heavy fire..." (explosions) 1 1 (reporters fire questions) You think you can form a successful government without Sunni involvement? This is a new beginning for Iraq. This is the end of tyranny and the beginning of freedom. How long will US forces be in Iraq? As long as they are needed. Thank you. That's it. Mr Zubaidi, it's a great day. Indeed, indeed. (speaks Arabic) Morning. Gentlemen, how are you? Does this mean there's gonna be an election soon? (indistinct Tannoy announcements) ..democracy... Sir. Can you comment about the action last night? Chief Miller. It's a copy of my intel report. I wanted to give it to you personally. Thank you. Is this Al Rawi? Yeah. Yeah, I heard about this. There's some strong language here. Oh, but what's the point, Miller? You think anybody's gonna listen to you? I know what you did. What did you say? You made him up to get what you needed. Magellan. You made him up. I don't know what you're talking about, Miller. When you peddled that shit in DC, did they know it was a lie or did they never bother to ask? None of this matters any more. WMD, this doesn't matter. What are you talking about?! Hey! Of course it fuckin' matters. The reasons we go to war always matter! It's all that fuckin' matters! At ease, soldier. Do you have any idea what you've done? What's going to happen next time we need people to trust us? Clark. We're not turning back, Miller. We won. Clark... Son of a bitch. (shouting)
