No one gave us your name.

You know why you are here.

Ja! Do you?

Understand, Martijn, there is a reason

for all of this, a very good one!

Then tell me the reason.

Tell me who you are, who you are with.

- You know who we are.

- No, I don't!

But you have your suspicions, yes?

That is why you came to Morocco?

To find Hassan Fikri?

But finding this man

is like finding a needle in the ear of a camel.

So you found a guide,

someone who said he knew the area,

someone who could protect you.

But Gavin did not protect you.

- Not well enough.

- Not well at all.

You have to admit,

hiring Gavin was a big mistake.

I don't know what happened.

You have been f***ed, Martijn.

Just call me Lawrence of Morocco.

That is a good one.

Your best one yet, in fact.

Why are you doing this to me?

Because I know Hassan Fikri.

He is a retired chemist.

So?

He has been working on a form of bacteria.

What kind of bacteria?

You already know!

That is why you called him.

I didn't call him.

You called to find out about this bacteria.

About how it can be

disseminated through food.

- I don't know what your business...

- This bacteria is fatal.

- Why would I call about something like that?

- Because you were paid to.

I stole that money!

You were paid that money

to call Hassan Fikri,

to find out what you could!

That is why you came to Morocco.

- I'm a banker.

- That is just your cover.

- For what?

- You are paid in US dollars

to collect evidence on Hassan Fikri.

- You're wrong.

- I would like to believe you.

- Then believe me.

- How can I, when I know the evidence?

What evidence?

That tape was fake.

The money in your account,

why is it not in euros?

I told you so many times.

Who has that kind of power

to make that kind of money appear

- From nowhere?

- Nobody.

Who has that kind of power

to stop the papers from running a story?

I don't... I don't know!

- Who gave you the name of Hassan Fikri?

- I didn't call him.

The Agency!

What agency?

It is not a travel agency.

You think I work for the CIA?

We know you work for the CIA. Yes, yes.

- It's crazy.

- Is it?

I'm not even American.

But you sympathize with the Americans.

I am from Holland.

Why would I sympathize with America?

Because they paid you $1 million.

You think I got that money from the CIA?

What else could we think?

I'd laugh.

If it wasn't so horrible, I'd f***ing laugh.

Tell us who your friends are. Your contacts.

- There are no contacts.

- What about your girlfriend?

- What about her?

- Did she recruit you?

Saadia has nothing to do with this.

- Is she your handler?

- She does not work for the CIA!

No, not again.

No, not again. Please.

No, not again. Please.

Please. Please. Please.

It's a gift.

What kind of gift?

For the children.

But why all the secrecy?

Because some donors

prefer to remain anonymous.

Yes. But why?

As long as they help my kids, I don't care.

As simple as that.

It's never that simple.

Can you set up a numbered account?

It's really a little bit tricky

without a passport.

- Euros or dollars?

- Dollars.

- Maybe I should meet this friend.

- Maybe you should.

You're actually a lot alike.

- Is he Dutch?

- No, he's American.

Wow!

An American that thinks the way that I do.

- That is someone I have to meet.

- Okay.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

I know you can hear me!

I know you can hear me!

Relax. I am just here to remove your clothes.

Why?

You have soiled your pants,

and you have not had a bath for days.

Now, please cooperate.

Now your pants.

Are you going to wash me?

You are going to wash yourself.

Can't.

There's a lot you don't know about me.

- Like what?

- My beliefs.

You are a banker.

You believe in making money.

I was a banker.

And now?

I'm here to help.

Why don't you just go back to Holland

and leave us alone?

- I can't.

- Why not?

You may approach it differently.

For you, it's spiritual.

For me, it's ideologue.

But in the end we're the same.

We support the people

for the same basic reason.

And what reason is that?

Because we both know

there is more to life than money.

Then why did you steal $1 million?

It isn't for me.

Then who is it for?

Not who, but what.

You think this is going

to make a difference?

- Your food programme?

- Yes, I do.

Suppose it works. Then what?

Then I'll keep on fighting

until everyone is forced to start over.

No more Western World.

No more Third World.

No more rich, no more poor.

No more debts, no more creditors.

A worldwide social system.

You are still a banker.

I was fired.

And why is that?

Did they find out about the money?

No. They saw pictures of me.

- Doing what?

- Protesting.

Protesting. Against who?

Dutch immigration policy and our

government's support of the World Bank.

You honestly believe

that to protest against the World Bank

would accomplish something?

I did.

I used to think it could accomplish a lot.

But not anymore?

- Not that way, no.

- Of course not.

Because you are a child, Martijn.

An idealistic, stupid child

who is playing a very dangerous game.

You go away for a weekend,

throw a few stones,

swallow a little tear gas

and tell your girlfriend how risky it was.

And while she is sucking on your cock,

your government expels

40,000 asylum seekers.

You have no idea what it would really take

to change the world.

You're wrong.

Then tell me.

A series of devastating events,

events that would destroy

the world's richest companies,

that would crush the world's economy.

A dozen 9l11s all over the world.

Like what?

Like targeted direct action

against Halliburton.

Against Dow Chemical, against McDonald's.

And not just American companies.

Against Airbus, against British Petroleum.

Against any company

that promotes global capitalism

and destroys lives and cultures

in order to increase its profits.

The Agency has trained you well.

I am not with the CIA.

You are clean.

It's an insult, what you think of me.

There is no other explanation.

I hate the CIA.

I hate everything they stand for.

So you claim.

What about you?

What about me?

Are you a good Muslim?

Yes.

Then why aren't you wearing your veil?

You are right.

I never should have taken it off.

I'm glad you did.

This is why we wear veils.

So men are not distracted.

Are you distracted by me?

You are pale and weak.

You know I'm not weak.

It is true.

It takes a strong man

to hold out for so long.

To keep lying

through your clean, white teeth.

I've told you the truth.

- That you came here to help us?

- And the rest of the world.

Through catastrophic events.

At the moment, just one.

Which you already have planned?

Yes.

With your help.

- But I know nothing of it.

- But you know Hassan Fikri.

That's why this is so wrong.

So that is why you raised $1 million?

- To fund this event?

- Yes.

Then what is it?

I cannot tell you.

Because even if I'm killed

over some stupid mistake,

there are others

who may still make it happen.
