Green Zone Page #4

Synopsis: Following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his men are charged with finding the so-called weapons of mass destruction, whose existence justified American involvement, according to the Pentagon and their man in Baghdad, Poundstone. Veteran CIA operative Marty tells Miller that there are no weapons, it is a deception to allow the Americans to take over the country and install a puppet leader. Also suspicious of Poundstone is Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne, who lets slip to Miller that Poundstone told her he had secret talks in Jordan with an important Iraqi, code-named Magellan, who told him about the weapons, though it now seems likely Magellan's true information was to the contrary. So begins a hunt for the truth. Who's playing whom?

Where can I find Al Rawi?

You know you tell me sooner or later.

I'll let you go if you give me an address.

Where is Al Rawi? Where is it?

The book...

He says they need the book.

Again with the book,

What's in the book?

He says he found...

says he has the names of

all hideouts of Al Rawi.

The boss Miller is here?

At the end of the stairs to the right.

Chief, I'm with the special unit

Pentagon intelligence...

did a great job in Al Mansour.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Can I go with?

Sure.

- Are you going to the Mets, right?

- If...

The administration appreciates the

work you do...

we must resolve this matter

of weapons to continue.

This type can be helpful,

told us some things...

said that you took away a book.

All I had was

I gave it to Martin Brown...

ask if he has it.

It's a great guy... but

takes a long time here,

has many crazy ideas...

Look, I do not want to push Martin

bus but he did not like what we do

the guy is a dinosaur, you and

I have to think big.

There is an opportunity

here for you, Miller.

I know that Martin can help

but you're something else

Standing can help you.

We're doing something good here,

re going to build this place...

We will need help.

Take this into account.

Do it.

And if you hear something about

this book tells me.

Your friend's special agency

Pentagon came to me.

"Hansull?

Yes, that...

His unit is what gives all the information

of weapons of mass destruction.

Do they have to Megellan?

Who is Megellan? You

ever seen it?

No... I have enclosed Hansull well,

that is why we

to discover what happens.

Here's the deal... I reviewed the book,

Baghdad has some directions...

hopefully in one of these

places is Al Rawi,

the book probably

used to locate it.

Are we ready?

Not yet, we're waiting

military support.

Press again, I get

everything in the book.

What do you think was the meeting?

What would speak if

you just invaded?

Do you think Al Rawi want to fight?

If we do not offer it will.

Should we do a deal?

Should we do a deal with the jack of clubs?

What are you doing here?

Take several weeks here, what are you doing?

I came to find weapons and save lives...

and I have not found anything,

I know why.

There are no easy answers...

all we have

are tough decisions...

Want to know what happened to the weapons?

You have to find

Al Rawi and bringing it here

he will tell us the truth of the

arms and give us the opportunity

to restore this country

without bloodshed.

You want the job or not?

- Yes, I love you.

- Okay.

That would be without them knowing.

Use it as an excuse to gain entry.

Take a million dollars in cash.

Tell him that the money is yours

if you give us what we need.

Tell him, to keep the mouth

closed until the bring.

I'll get with your family

the end of the week.

You want to tell you not to talk

with American interrogators?

That's it.

That will be difficult.

Do not be naive.

Miller, the Pentagon

rejected your transfer,

...I sent back immediately.

Wrong side.

We got to move.

How the hell do you play?

Read and understand everything.

This is very important and your

and the generals screwed.

Martin, the CIA confirmed it.

Got it.

Stay away from all this.

Use local staff

is of paramount importance.

Stay close.

I come to see Abdul Barrah.

- Let me see.

- Who is he?

My translator.

Hands up.

Watch this.

Is my cell phone.

Dismissed.

Take them to the hall 1.

Here.

That is not necessary.

Is required.

I wish I had a conversation

classified with the prisoner.

Understood, I'm out.

Have you left rotting here?

Let's see if this is enough.

Sergeant, he has given us

valuable information.

Appear to have a

Sayid prisoner named Hamsa,

...he can recognize

for me, bring it here,

...to identify it quickly.

Need an order for that.

I have an operation

simultaneously, and my team out.

I have to do now.

- How much to take?

- Two minutes.

- Is that all?

- Yes, please.

Well, friend...

We identify a prisoner.

Hamsa, arise.

Call a physician, call it.

He says why he does this.

He says the general did everything

As requested at the meeting.

What meeting?

What meeting?

Said Jordan.

What do you mean?

Are you ready?

We will eat in 5 minutes.

Where is Mohammed Al Rawl?

Do not know.

We need to talk.

I'll call you now.

What do you have?

I read your articles, you said that a seller

of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction,

...met with some officers

Americans before the war.

I need to know about that meeting.

Please, I can not

discuss with you my sources.

Did you meet him, you know who that is?

Of course not, by God

is an Iraqi officer.

How did you know that telling the truth?

Because the contact

a reliable source.

- Reliable?

- Yes.

Have you ever gone to these places?

Have you been to any of

them Diwenea, wheat?

There's nothing there, the information

Magellan sucks.

Who is the agent?

Not discuss that with you.

For God so we are at war.

Well, at least tell me how step.

How someone like you

writes something that is not true?

Tell me. What do you know?

Look, one day called me

...was a top official in Washington.

He said he had a story about

truth about Saddam's WMD programs.

So we met, he

the report in my hands.

All information.

Can not verify it?

He was a high official, had

access to the reports.

All he said was not

tell the location of the meeting.

- The place?

- As if committing the source.

Was in Jordan, no? It was.

If.

You can have

one million dollars.

I have the information.

The culprit is Magellum.

- No time for that.

- I guess not.

Try to do.

They met officials in

Jordan said the same of Magellum.

- That's more than coincidence.

- Maybe, but it makes no sense.

I promised not to do something in Jordan.

What if I said something I did not want to do?

What if I said there was no WMD?

I wonder how this all,

give me everything you have.

It all makes sense,

misinformation,

...because our

teams found nothing.

Perhaps we are seeing

this the wrong way.

It is a theory.

You have no proof.

Do not be naive.

Mr. Mohammed al Rawl was

Jordan on 5 February 2003.

That is 3 days before

that Magellum issued.

Check all that.

Lord we have a trace of

Defense Department that day.

From Washington to Jordan.

Reported an attack on a

safe house of Al RWAL.

Are hunting down Al Rawl not

want them to leave the troops.

I have to get to another safe house.

High.

Where is Mohammed Al Rawl?

Where is he?

Dime.

Even if I knew would not tell you.

- All clear?

- Yes, sir.

I need to translate.

I have a message

to General Al Rawl.

I have to see him tonight.

He calls Mr.

I got it, Amalik Sahir, one

men of the Rawl.

- Where is he?

- I let go.

It sends a message that I

would be at the station tonight.

If I is delivered

vivo, we have evidence.

And if you speak, tell the truth about WMD.

When you see him offer him anything.

If you get well maybe we can do.
