How hard is it?

...is suspected

of plotting a series

of devastating terror attacks

on America.

He was caught

on surveillance camera

- training for his mission.

- Watch this part, will ya?

This is where the nail

goes right into

your coffin.

A 10-million-dollar reward

is being offered

to anyone with information

that could lead

to his arrest.

10 million dollars?

Vow, that's pretty good.

Meanwhile, congress is

ratifying a declaration of war

against Iran

even as we speak.

Iran has indicated

that should the U.S. launch

a preemptive strike

against the islamic Republic,

they will initiate

a pre-preemptive attack

against the zionist state,

who, in turn,

has vowed to launch a pre-pre-

preemptive attack

- on Iran's closest Ally, Syria.

- It's "Vorld var tree."

exactamundo!

And my business,

my business is gonna

be thriving,

- thanks to you, my man.

- What business?

My business, my business

of manufacturing

predator drones,

all over the place.

Everywhere around here, see?

Predator drones.

And I've manufactured

a drone that could remotely

control another drone

so we don't need

a human being to work it.

You are taking good jobs avay

from innocent Americans?

That's evil.

Evil? It's genius.

I knew that I had to convince

the American people

to go to war if I wanted

to sell my product.

- Yeah, baby.

- That's the American way,

you see?

And I knew that I

had to make you out to be

the world's worst terrorist.

And now I have everything

I need

to justify this war.

Are we clear?

Not exactly.

That was a lot of exposition.

Can you give it to me

in bullet points?

- No.

- Okay, how about cliff notes?

- No.

- Viki-pedia?

Ow! Take it easy.

Mr. Monroe, I'm not sure

what you're saying,

but one thing I do know

is that the American people

are not so estupid

that they vould

go to a var

just because of the actions

of one terrorist.

Funny guy.

I'm here all week.

Tip your waitress.

Oops. Ran out of space.

Leila, what are you

doing here?

I told you this stuff
