Death!
Okay, money talks,
right?
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Right.
Right.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
We'll freeze every dollar
they've got--
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Too late.
Too late, sir.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
12 billion,
700 million--
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Transferred.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Switzerland,
Liechtenstein.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Not so crazy.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Well, I'll go on television,
Death to the enemy!
Death!
and I'll
tell the world.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Can't you hear Mallory?
Death to the enemy!
Death!
"Dirty tricks.
Anything to get re-elected."
Death to the enemy!
Death!
And if Mallory
doesn't say it,
Death to the enemy!
Death!
the press will.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
But if the people
know the truth--
Death to the enemy!
Death!
We're all out of a job.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Attack now,
Mr. President.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Hit them first.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Good guys
never shoot first.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Why not?
Death to the enemy!
Death!
I will not go down in history
Death to the enemy!
Death!
as the president
who started World War III.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Which brings us
to your final option, sir.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
Tell it
like it is, baby.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
In private, please,
Mr. President.
Death to the enemy!
Death!
See he gets back
safely.
I didn't know you cared.
See he gets back
safely.
About you?
See he gets back
safely.
About this...
I care much.
See he gets back
safely.

[BUZZING]
And the Koran
quotes them.
[BUZZING]
King Awad quotes them.
[BUZZING]
Moses, Abraham,
Solomon, Jesus.
[BUZZING]
He must respect Jews.
[BUZZING]
Dead ones, yes.
[BUZZING]
[BEEPING]
[BUZZING]
Uh, sir?
[BUZZING]
Yes?
Negative, huh?
Casualties?
Negative, huh?
All right,
notify next of--
Negative, huh?
He said what?
Negative, huh?
Suicide.
Stand by.
Suicide.
Rafeeq?
Suicide.
No.
Suicide.
Not King Awad?
Suicide.
Not yet, sir.
Suicide.
Boy, that would
be something,
Suicide.
if he would die
before--
Suicide.
Is that your
instruction, sir?
Suicide.
Why should he
kill himself?
Suicide.
Oh, well,
religious fanatics
Suicide.
are unstable people.
They're unpredictable.
Suicide.
Must he die?
Suicide.
Sure would be convenient.
Suicide.
He certainly
won't abdicate.
Suicide.
Well, Jackie.
Yes, sir?
Well, Jackie.
Uncork your touchdown
play and score.
Well, Jackie.
Mr. President?
Well, Jackie.
Blast him
out of the ballpark.
Well, Jackie.
I'm not too familiar
with football, sir.
Well, Jackie.
Score, Jackie, score.
Well, Jackie.
What you're
really saying is--
Well, Jackie.
Right. Go ahead.
Well, Jackie.
Go where?
Well, Jackie.
Damn it, man, do it.
Well, Jackie.
Do what, sir?
Well, Jackie.
You want me
to spell it out?
Well, Jackie.
Yes, sir, I do.
Well, Jackie.
I have seen the CIA
take the rap
Well, Jackie.
for the last
seven presidents,
Well, Jackie.
but no more,
Well, Jackie.
unless you give me
a direct order.
Well, Jackie.
You want me to say...
Well, Jackie.
"kill him"?
Well, Jackie.
That is one of
your options, sir.
Well, Jackie.
Why, even if I thought
such a terrible thing,
Well, Jackie.
which I never did,
Well, Jackie.
do you realize
I could be impeached?
Well, Jackie.
Politics don't
mean anything to me
Well, Jackie.
unless they affect the CIA
and the United States.
Well, Jackie.
In that order, Jackie?
Well, Jackie.
They're interchangeable,
Mr. President.
Well, Jackie.
Those eyeglasses...
Well, Jackie.
they wouldn't be
a tape recorder,
Well, Jackie.
like the ones Sally Blake--
Well, Jackie.
That king,
the one who wanted to waste
Thomas Becket...
That king,
King Henry II.
That king,
Right.
That king,
He didn't say,
"Pop him, burn him."
That king,
He said what?
That king,
"Who will rid me
of this man?"
That king,
Get the drift, Jackie?
No, sir.
Get the drift, Jackie?
All I've heard is
"rid me of,"
Get the drift, Jackie?
"pop him, burn him,"
and "score a touchdown,"
Get the drift, Jackie?
just as over the years
in this office, I've heard
Get the drift, Jackie?
"Terminate
with extreme prejudice."
Get the drift, Jackie?
I've heard "croak him,"
and "chill him,"
Get the drift, Jackie?
and "pop him," "burn him,"
"fire him,"
Get the drift, Jackie?
"grease him."
Get the drift, Jackie?
And you still
don't understand?
Get the drift, Jackie?
No, sir.
Get the drift, Jackie?
Well, how's this?
K-I-double-L him,
by God.
Well, how's this?
By God, sir?
Well, how's this?
By executive action.
Well, how's this?
Immediately.
Well, how's this?
Thank you, sir.
Well, how's this?
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Well, how's this?
Was this session taped?
Well, how's this?
Sir?
Well, how's this?
What was said here,
was it taped as usual?
Well, how's this?
Of course.
Well, how's this?
Burn it.
Well, how's this?
Your own tape?
Well, how's this?
Burn it.
Well, how's this?
Watergate, remember?
Well, how's this?
You think I want a black
Ford in my future?
Well, how's this?
Well, how's this?
K-I-double-L him,
by God.
Well, how's this?
By God, sir?
Well, how's this?
By executive action.
Well, how's this?
[BEEPING]
Well, how's this?
[BEEPING]
Well, how's this?

Well, how's this?
[RADIO ANNOUNCER SPEAKING
IN ARABIC]
[RADIO BROADCASTING IN ARABIC]
Why's tomorrow so
bloody important to Awad?
[RADIO BROADCASTING IN ARABIC]
Beats me.
[RADIO BROADCASTING IN ARABIC]
Kings and priests,
they talk in riddles.
[RADIO BROADCASTING IN ARABIC]
Why is an American
fighting here,
[RADIO BROADCASTING IN ARABIC]
in that uniform?
[RADIO BROADCASTING IN ARABIC]
Why'd Americans fight
over there, in Vietnam?
[RADIO BROADCASTING IN ARABIC]
Ha. Beats me.
[RADIO BROADCASTING IN ARABIC]
What did he say?
King Awad...
What did he say?
he's dead.
What did he say?
What are you doing?
Going to Awad's camp.
What are you doing?
You might not
be welcome.
What are you doing?
Television
not welcome? Ha.
What are you doing?
Where?
What are you doing?
Beats me.
What are you doing?
[ALARM WAILING]
What are you doing?
Take the wheel.
[SPEAKING ARABIC]
Take the wheel.
[HORNS HONKING]
[HONKING]
I don't understand.
He had such hopes
for tomorrow.
I don't understand.
How did it happen?
I don't understand.
Suicide.
I don't understand.
Frothing at the mouth.
I don't understand.
Traces of poison.
I don't understand.
That doesn't
prove suicide.
I don't understand.
This does.
I don't understand.
