There is no such program.
What evidence
would you have to backup your claim?
JONES: They're gonna want verification.
There's no silver bullet.
Intelligence that helps them complete the picture.
Soil samples, air, water.
Whoever we send that there, they can't come back.

Got up to $600 a gallon

Using the Baghdad model.
Uh-huh. We're looking at an increase

I want to avoid any, uh, unseemly profiteering.
God knows last time it gave me a stomach ulcer.
It's about jobs for the Iranian people.
They drive the rebuilding of their own country,
fate in their own hands, so on and so forth.
Now, all construction on this goes through,

Mashadan Construction, out of Tehran.
In whom one of our subsidiaries
recently acquired a majority stake.
When can we expect the go-ahead from the president?
The man tweets like a teenage girl.
You really think we're gonna leave this up to him?
BOARD MEMBER: And we're assuming a surgical strike
will be enough to meet our projections?
The Eskan housing complex
30 miles from the Alin Power Plant.
In the second wave of launches,
one of our cruise missiles will veer off course.
I think you'll find things will escalate pretty quickly
from there.

Why do I get the feeling you're not going to introduce yourself?
Senator Burrell,
you won't want this to be overheard.
My name is Martin Collins.
I'm an attorney at Greenburg, Morgan & Squire.
My client-- my only client-- is William Kingsley
of Kingsley Merchant Proctor Hall,
an engineering and construction company
with subsidiaries in defense and private security.
They made $40 billion from the Iraq War.
After that, they set about trying
to ensure those kinds of returns.
To that end they infiltrated the intelligence services
to act on their behalf.
Their key contact is Amanda Jones,
a senior supervisor at the Central Intelligence Agency.
There is no active Iranian nuclear weapons program.
Jordan Franklin and his colleagues were not killed
by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
This is the long arm of KMPH and others like them.
Governments come and go.
These guys are forever.
They determine who to bomb, where to invade.
They build the drones, the Hellfire missiles
that destroy the homes, the factories.
Then they get the contracts to rebuild those same homes,
those same factories.
Cash from chaos.
War on terror.
War in perpetuity.
I can't do anything with this.
I'm sorry?
You bring me this guy,
he tells me where the bodies are buried,
maybe, maybe I can do something with that.
Maybe.
What, that's it?
What do you want me to say?
People aren't interested in the truth anymore.
It doesn't play like it used to.

I can't get ahold of Collins.
He's not at home. His wife's not at home.
There anything you want to tell me?
No, sir.
Okay.
I'm gonna choose to believe you.
The president's wavering on his decision to bomb Tehran.
This will give him the nudge he's looking for.
I started out as a roughneck.
Lowest position you can get on a rig.
-Did you know that? -No.
No one handed me a damn thing.
First desk job I got,
hired an assistant.
Margaret.
Beautiful woman.
Paid her out of my own salary. Always did.
She passed on last year.
I'm sorry to hear that.
40 years, she worked for me.
By my side every day.
[chuckles] Hell,
she knew me better than my wife.
Collins turned on you.
The moment Esfahani's confession hit the screen.
Took him all of about two seconds.
People don't understand the value of loyalty.
He's a white-shoe errand boy.
You play this right,
maybe we change the way we do things.
[indistinct chatter]
Well, this is an unexpected pleasure.
Is there somewhere we can talk?
What's this about?
You are gonna give this to the president's chief of staff.
The president was on a trip to Dubai.
Well, he wasn't the president then,
but still.
We're all trying to escape our pasts, aren't we?
There's plenty more where that came from.
I serve the American people.

You could've changed that.
What, by taking Collins to Burrell?
By doing the right thing. For once.
And what do you think would have happened? Huh?
I'll tell you what would have happened.
We would have handed him over,
the press would've had a field day for a couple of weeks,
maybe a couple of months.
The government would have had their inquiry,
a token head would have rolled,
and then everything would have been exactly the same
as it was before.
We would have stood for something.

Well, when the dust has settled,
