Hey, how's it going?

Hey, man. All good, thanks.

Wow.
25
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,940
How about you?
How was your day?

Okay.

[Susan] This was
two hours ago in Karbala.

Our vehicles, our uniforms.
36
00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:27,470

Civilian admin center,

38
00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:31,440
They wounded
two American soldiers
39
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,400
and captured
two of our liaison officers.
40
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,730
And where are the hostages?
41
00:04:34,930 --> 00:04:38,280
[Susan] Whoever did this
was heading towards Iran.
42
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,820

00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:58,050
I'm on my way.
Send in Task Force.
48
00:04:58,250 --> 00:04:59,170

00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:54,690
Hey, it's Radwan.
56
00:05:54,890 --> 00:05:57,480
Imad Mughniyeh. 100%.
57
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,650
dramatic music
58
00:06:09,740 --> 00:06:11,780
59
00:06:21,330 --> 00:06:24,710
Imad Mughniyeh
has maintained a sort of a...
60
00:06:26,340 --> 00:06:29,300
aura of mystery
throughout his existence.
61
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:31,600
Everybody was looking
for Imad Mughniyeh.
62
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,220
But we couldn't find him.
63
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,520
This story, it's one of
the most complicated,
64
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,270
morally ambiguous stories
that I know.
65
00:06:40,470 --> 00:06:45,360
And it then unfolds into,
really, a nightmare story.
66
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,910
He was the absolute
Machiavellian mastermind
67
00:06:50,110 --> 00:06:53,200
of a lot of the violence
68
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,420
against Westerners,
against America,
69
00:06:57,620 --> 00:06:59,080
against fellow Lebanese even.
70
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,040
He is the guy behind everything.
71
00:07:03,250 --> 00:07:05,040
This was yesterday in Karbala.
72
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,850
[Lena] What do you know
about the team who did this?
73
00:07:10,050 --> 00:07:12,140
I was there.
It looked very professional.
74
00:07:14,970 --> 00:07:17,270
Iran would never do
anything like this.
75
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,810
So, when was the last time
you saw Imad?
76
00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:23,770
Which Imad?
77
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,480
Imad Mughniyeh.
78
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,860
Radwan, Abu Dukhan.
79
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:32,740
[Asgari] Where did
you say you're from?
80
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:35,240
-Michigan.
-[Asgari] Yeah.
81
00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:38,290
[in Arabic]
82
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,370
[Lena chuckles]
83
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,620
[Lena, in Arabic]
84
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:44,790
Ah.
85
00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:48,170
[chuckling]
86
00:07:49,630 --> 00:07:51,970
[in English]
These attackers were Lebanese.
87
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:53,560
And they were trying
to take their hostages
88
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,140
over the border, into Iran.
89
00:07:55,340 --> 00:07:58,060
Now, why would they do that?
90
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:00,400
Either you're
a Christian Maronite
91
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,520
and you hate me,
92
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,690
or you're a Shia Muslim,
93
00:08:04,890 --> 00:08:07,990
and you need to prove yourself
to your bosses.
94
00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:10,110
[Lena] My family
had to flee Lebanon.
95
00:08:10,310 --> 00:08:11,320
Do you wanna know why?
96
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,490
It's because of people like you.
97
00:08:15,690 --> 00:08:16,820
[Steve] That's enough.
98
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,090
We brought you here
99
00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:30,720
to ask one simple question
about yesterday.
100
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,800
Yesterday, Lena, in Iraq.
101
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:33,850
Not to scare off
102
00:08:34,050 --> 00:08:35,390
the Deputy Defense Minister
of Iran,
103
00:08:35,590 --> 00:08:37,680
who, by the way,
is singing like a bird
104
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,310
about their nuclear program.
105
00:08:39,510 --> 00:08:41,440
This is what's important today.
106
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,180
Steve, this is the same group.
107
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:46,020
This is Radwan, okay?
108
00:08:46,220 --> 00:08:47,940
It's the same guy
from 25 years ago,
109
00:08:48,140 --> 00:08:49,610
same guy
who's outplayed us ever since.
110
00:08:49,810 --> 00:08:51,320
I was there.
You don't need to remind me.
111
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,490
I can pin him to Radwan.
He was his recruiter.
112
00:08:56,660 --> 00:08:58,870
This is our best chance.
113
00:09:02,290 --> 00:09:05,290
So tell me
about your friend Imad.
114
00:09:05,490 --> 00:09:08,540
That's you in the training camp
you set up in Lebanon, right?
115
00:09:09,790 --> 00:09:10,970
[Asgari] Um...
116
00:09:11,170 --> 00:09:12,510
This is all you have?
117
00:09:14,090 --> 00:09:17,140
That was 25 years ago.
118
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:20,180
What I have is a taxi
ready to dump you back in Iran,
119
00:09:20,380 --> 00:09:21,890
where I understand
General Soleimani
120
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:23,560
is not willing
to protect you anymore.
121
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:25,810
How much did you steal?
122
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,900
20 million?
123
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:29,110
Sixty?
124
00:09:29,310 --> 00:09:31,230
[Asgari sighs]
125
00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:35,530
Ali-Reza... come on.
126
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:38,320
He was your recruit.
127
00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:41,660
I really wanna know.
128
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,260
[traditional music playing]
129
00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:56,090

[elevator bell dings]
139
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,360
[in English] There he is,
our peacemaker.
140
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:03,620
[applause]
141
00:13:03,820 --> 00:13:05,120
-[woman] Congratulations, Bob.
-Thank you.
142
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,660
Welcome home, Bob.
143
00:13:06,860 --> 00:13:08,450
[Doug London]
Robert Ames was revered.
144
00:13:08,650 --> 00:13:09,500
He was a role model.
145
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:10,870
This is what you wanna be.
146
00:13:11,070 --> 00:13:14,460
You wanna be someone
who is a classically good spy,
147
00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:17,000
but also has
tremendous substance.
148
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,680
Robert Ames was a genuine
American hero in my book.
149
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,100
He was sort of like
the traditional American ideal.
150
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:28,430
Um, not loud, not pushy,
but tough and smart.
151
00:13:28,630 --> 00:13:31,480
[Ames] The PLO
are already out of Beirut.
152
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:34,350
Now, the Israelis
need to leave Lebanon.
153
00:13:34,550 --> 00:13:37,480
We secure the Israeli-Lebanese
border here with UN troops,
154
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:39,360
and we initiate
peace negotiations
155
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:41,150
between the Israelis
and the Arabs.
156
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:42,820
In the meantime,
157
00:13:43,020 --> 00:13:44,990
we consolidate
stability in Lebanon
158
00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:46,370
and eventually push
159
00:13:46,570 --> 00:13:48,990
to disarm the militia
and strengthen the military.
160
00:13:49,190 --> 00:13:50,370
If we play this right,
161
00:13:50,570 --> 00:13:52,330
I'm confident we'll be able
to move all parties
162
00:13:52,530 --> 00:13:54,750
to a genuine two-state solution.
163
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,380
Beautiful.
164
00:13:57,580 --> 00:13:59,170
Got something to say, Dewey?
165
00:13:59,370 --> 00:14:02,010
No. Who can argue
against world peace?
166
00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:03,550
You know what, Dewey, fuck you!
167
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:06,090
Whoa, Bob, forgive me
for living in the real world.
168
00:14:06,290 --> 00:14:08,100
But this? Again?
169
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:10,390
This is naive.
This is dangerously naive.
170
00:14:10,590 --> 00:14:11,770
[Casey] Oh, calm down, everyone.
171
00:14:11,970 --> 00:14:12,930
All right, listen.
172
00:14:13,130 --> 00:14:15,850
President wants this to work,
all right?
173
00:14:16,050 --> 00:14:16,940
He does.
174
00:14:17,140 --> 00:14:19,400
So good work.
Good work, everybody.
175
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,400
Take a breath.
176
00:14:22,060 --> 00:14:23,570
Thanks, John.
177
00:14:23,770 --> 00:14:25,450
Dewey, good work.
178
00:14:25,650 --> 00:14:26,400
All right.
179
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,660
Something you want to tell me?
180
00:14:31,860 --> 00:14:33,330
Yeah, it's about Iran.
181
00:14:33,530 --> 00:14:35,750
Oh. We got
the revolution boxed in.
182
00:14:35,950 --> 00:14:37,420
Don't worry, all right?
183
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:39,210
Two operatives
close to the Ayatollah
184
00:14:39,410 --> 00:14:40,710
just paid a visit to Lebanon
185
00:14:40,910 --> 00:14:42,510
around the same time
someone purchased

00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:45,180
an old colonial police station
in the Bekaa Valley.

00:14:46,750 --> 00:14:48,050
that it's, uh, being renovated.
189
00:14:48,250 --> 00:14:50,260

a training camp there

-Yeah.

you're most vulnerable.

It's already on the list.

209
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:38,280
Good. Yeah, good.
210
00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:41,160
What could go wrong, right?
211
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:44,290
-Short of everything?
-Or nothing.
212
00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:45,620
I'll vote for nothing.
213
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:49,920
I miss you. I gotta go, though.

-I love you, too.
215
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:56,170
All right, bye.
216
00:18:58,260 --> 00:19:00,300
[Sam Wyman] I wouldn't say
he was pro-Arab
217
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,810
or pro-Israeli.
218
00:19:03,010 --> 00:19:05,350
He was a realist.
219
00:19:05,550 --> 00:19:06,980
And there is a way
this could be done,
220
00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:09,270
a genuine two-state solution.
221
00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:17,160

222
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:19,360
-Good to see you.
-Yeah, good to see you, too.
223
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:21,830
How is Chairman Arafat?
224
00:19:22,030 --> 00:19:23,870
He was sorry to leave Beirut.
225
00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:25,620
He's waiting
for your next move now.
226
00:19:27,950 --> 00:19:29,080
This is from the President.
227
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,330
A framework of peace.
228
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,000

229
00:19:36,130 --> 00:19:37,800
Where's his signature?
230
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,010
One thing at a time.
231
00:19:40,970 --> 00:19:42,560
And what about the Israelis?
232
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,310
They will withdraw also, right?
233
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:45,970
We will use all our leverage.
234
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:47,980
Please tell Chairman Arafat
235
00:19:48,180 --> 00:19:50,270
that the President
is counting on him
236
00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:53,230
to keep things quiet
while the Israelis withdraw.
237
00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:56,150
Yeah. We'll keep quiet.
Yeah, for sure.
238
00:19:56,350 --> 00:19:59,690
But, uh, you see, when, uh...
239
00:20:00,570 --> 00:20:02,660
When Arafat left Beirut, he...
240
00:20:02,860 --> 00:20:05,700
He gave the keys to our armory
to a former bodyguard.
241
00:20:07,370 --> 00:20:10,870
And the thing is, the Iranians
have made contact with him now.
242
00:20:11,870 --> 00:20:13,000
Do you have a name?
243
00:20:14,290 --> 00:20:16,340
He only uses nicknames.
244
00:20:17,710 --> 00:20:18,550

245
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:20,880

Thank you. Good evening.
267
00:24:44,020 --> 00:24:45,940
Thank you so much
for coming tonight.
268
00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:48,690
We are here to honor
an historic occasion,
269
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:50,910
a new President,
270
00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:53,200
and a new opportunity
for Lebanon and the region.
271
00:24:54,030 --> 00:24:55,790
My message from our president
272
00:24:55,990 --> 00:24:57,870
is that we Americans
all sincerely believe
273
00:24:58,070 --> 00:25:00,580
that a just settlement
is possible.
274
00:25:00,780 --> 00:25:03,000
And by just, I mean
one that takes into account
275
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,750
the legitimate needs
off all persons,
276
00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:06,590

That future
is within our grasp now

00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:14,550
if we have the courage
to seize the moment.

[Frank Reynolds, in English]
Bachir Gemayel,
286
00:25:59,220 --> 00:26:00,640
the newly-elected
President of Lebanon,
287
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,060
has been assassinated.
288
00:26:02,260 --> 00:26:04,060
[reporter] Within minutes
of his assassination,
289
00:26:04,260 --> 00:26:07,150
Gemayel's militias
began extracting revenge,
290
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:09,320
tipping Lebanon
to the breaking point,
291
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,490
and putting America's
regional peace plan
292
00:26:11,690 --> 00:26:13,650
in danger of total collapse.

as many as 1,000 people in all
294

refugee camps in West Beirut.

The United States and Israel,
297
00:26:21,860 --> 00:26:23,410
locked in a grave
policy confrontation
298
00:26:23,610 --> 00:26:26,000
as a result of this weekend's
bloody massacre
299
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,130
of Palestinian civilians
in West Beirut,
300
00:26:28,330 --> 00:26:29,840
considered their
next move today.
301
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,470
Unless Israel moves quickly
and courageously to withdraw,
302
00:26:33,670 --> 00:26:37,220
it will find itself ever more
deeply involved in problems
303
00:26:37,420 --> 00:26:40,390
that are not its own
and which it cannot solve.
304
00:26:40,590 --> 00:26:41,640
[reporter 1]
President Reagan hopes
305
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,060
the presence
of 800 Marines in Beirut
306
00:26:44,260 --> 00:26:46,100
will stabilize the situation
307
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:47,980
and pressure Israel
to withdraw.
308
00:26:48,180 --> 00:26:49,650
[reporter 2] This is all
within the context
309
00:26:49,850 --> 00:26:51,980
of the power struggle
in Lebanon.
310
00:26:52,180 --> 00:26:54,400
Various people
are not pro-Khomeini
311
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,360
or anti-American.
312
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,950
The problem is that things are
fundamentally out of control.
313
00:27:00,150 --> 00:27:04,460
I believe nobody is controlling
this area anymore, you know.
314
00:27:04,660 --> 00:27:06,080
Not the Shia, not Iran,
315
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,920
not United States of America,
not the Soviets, nobody.
316
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:14,300
It's some sort of cocktail.
317
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:16,630
Cocktail, you know,
a terrorist cocktail.

00:35:33,830 --> 00:35:36,050
to step back from the abyss
and work together.
368
00:35:36,250 --> 00:35:37,260

[speaks Hebrew]
370
00:35:42,430 --> 00:35:44,020
[in English] Mr. Ames,
371
00:35:44,220 --> 00:35:47,980
we value your guidance,
as always.
372
00:35:48,180 --> 00:35:50,650
But there's a feeling
that the Arabists in the CIA
373
00:35:50,850 --> 00:35:54,150
are say, uh, um,
374
00:35:54,350 --> 00:35:57,110
too romantic
about our neighbors.
375
00:35:57,310 --> 00:35:58,910
[Ames] No, don't insult
my professionalism
376
00:35:59,110 --> 00:36:00,280
or that of my officers.
377
00:36:01,820 --> 00:36:03,910
Our friends are expected
to get onboard with our plan,
378
00:36:04,110 --> 00:36:07,030
and those that don't
will pay a very heavy price.
379
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,500
Do I make myself clear?
380
00:36:12,290 --> 00:36:13,540
Yes, you do.
381
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:16,750
And with all the respect,
382
00:36:18,380 --> 00:36:20,840
you can fuck off, sir.
383
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,340
Meir, can you show our friend
the way out, please?
384
00:36:30,140 --> 00:36:32,100

[Tom Brokaw] A huge explosion
392
00:37:34,410 --> 00:37:36,000
flattened the Israeli
military headquarters
393
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,460
in Tyre, Lebanon, today.
394
00:37:37,660 --> 00:37:40,800
At least 28 people were killed,
dozens injured.
395
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,970
Rescue workers
still are digging.
396
00:37:43,170 --> 00:37:45,720
The seven-story building
was reduced to rubble.
397
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,760
The cause of the explosion
is not clear,
398
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,430
but there's speculation
about a gas
399
00:37:49,630 --> 00:37:51,810
or an ammunition explosion.

it was a gas leak.

Are they gonna go for this?
418

Well, Ken, Reagan's had enough.

[Meir] As you know,
Islam forbids suicide.
427
00:42:05,970 --> 00:42:09,190
[Ames] But in the name of jihad,
the self-sacrifice is permitted.
428
00:42:18,530 --> 00:42:20,450
A young kid, ordinary.
429

Nothing special about him,
430
00:42:22,780 --> 00:42:26,460
except all his family
was killed by our forces.

think of your theory?

That it was a gas leak,
441
00:42:54,020 --> 00:42:56,070
and I might be suffering
from PTSD,
442
00:42:56,270 --> 00:42:57,610

Robert, these are not the same
terrorists we've known before.
452
00:43:44,070 --> 00:43:46,790
These are fanatics
motivated by Imam Khomeini.

And they will come
for you as well.

Why is the Mossad
still saying it's a gas leak?

they knew it wasn't.

you told them about family time.

00:47:23,870 --> 00:47:24,880

tell those bastards?

That's a good one.

506
00:47:46,150 --> 00:47:47,530
wants you back
in Beirut now, okay?
507
00:47:47,730 --> 00:47:49,530
Get the Israelis out
and close the deal.

00:48:28,070 --> 00:48:30,950
[Jane Mayer] It was just
such a loss of innocence
510
00:48:31,150 --> 00:48:33,200
for the United States,
looking back,
511
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,700
because we felt we were there
512
00:48:35,900 --> 00:48:38,500
as neutral peacekeepers,
513
00:48:38,700 --> 00:48:40,080
and, in fact, we thought--
514
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:41,710
And we thought
we were the good guys
515
00:48:41,910 --> 00:48:43,460
doing the right thing,
516
00:48:43,660 --> 00:48:45,550
trying to bring peace
to the world,
517
00:48:45,750 --> 00:48:48,670
and we were perceived
instead, locally,
518
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,550
as enemies and combatants.
519
00:48:50,750 --> 00:48:51,800
And we were in a war
520
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,760
we didn't even realize
we were in.

-[Ken] Yes.

The UN?
525
00:49:35,630 --> 00:49:36,890
[Ken] They'll monitor
the Israeli troops

on the new organization,

00:49:42,010 --> 00:49:44,020
[Ken] We're not sure
it's real, Bob.

00:49:44,220 --> 00:49:46,190
[engine starts]
531
00:49:46,390 --> 00:49:47,940
[Ames] And the Iranian camps?
532
00:49:48,140 --> 00:49:49,610
[Ken] Like a black hole.
533
00:49:49,810 --> 00:49:50,650
No assets?
534
00:49:52,530 --> 00:49:53,570
No prospects?
535
00:50:16,630 --> 00:50:19,180
But if Khomeini really did wanna
export his revolution,
536
00:50:19,380 --> 00:50:21,300
why wouldn't he start
here in Lebanon?
537
00:50:23,390 --> 00:50:25,690
This is where the Shia
are being ignored.
538
00:50:25,890 --> 00:50:28,190
I mean, that's what I would do.
539
00:50:29,810 --> 00:50:32,070
All right, gentlemen,
maybe that's, uh, lunch break.
540
00:50:32,820 --> 00:50:34,360
[sighs] Look, uh...
541
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,370
I know what it's like
to start from nothing.
542
00:50:38,570 --> 00:50:39,580
We've all been there.
543
00:50:39,780 --> 00:50:42,620
It's the hardest thing
for a case officer,
544
00:50:42,820 --> 00:50:45,790
so just hit the streets,
start listening.
545
00:50:46,370 --> 00:50:47,290
