Creating 'The Kingdom' Page #3

why ask the question?

Just thought I'd ask.

SYKES:
Look, we're not seeing

this kind of planning and execution

anywhere else, are we?

No.

I mean, these ain't hot-wired

artillery shells

waiting for Humvees

to roll by.

These hits are coordinated.

The planning, timing in big,

broad-daylight, balls-out ugly.

So f***ing greedy.

Do we know if they used the uniforms

in the other two attacks?

No, as far as I know

this is the first time for that.

Then you're saying now they got

access to Saudi uniforms?

SYKES:
I mean, baby Jesus!

Is anybody taking credit?

Anybody seen anything on the web?

Haven't heard anything.

Tom, you got anything?

We haven't found anything yet.

How do we know

it's not Saudi on Saudi?

Could be. If it's Saudi, then it's

quite probably the work of Abu Hamza.

Osama wannabe.

Lived in Iraq. Afghanistan.

Sir, not to beat a dead horse,

but if there was ever a time for us

to put boots on Saudi sand,

I mean,

don't you think this is it?

There's no way, Adam.

They will never allow it.

Then let's just ask.

The Saudi Royal Family cannot appear

as if they're losing control.

If they lose control of their country,

lose control of the people,

they risk losing

control of the oil.

And that is not gonna happen.

State Department.

'We are in agreement

with the Saudi security assessment

'that any additional American presence

on kingdom soil represents reckless risk.'

AGENT:
Oh, come on, risk?

FLEURY:
Yeah.

What's that?

That's not a reckless risk?

F*** it.

You hang tight.

I'm gonna go get access.

Keep your bags packed.

Keep your phones on.

Some of you are gonna

get some calls.

Everyone's terrified,

so nothing moves.

You and your team

aren't going anywhere

and this meeting's

just a circle jerk, Ronnie.

Attorney General Young is

gonna go through the motions

because protocol says

we get an appeal.

We'll be on record,

but you expect nothing more.

I met with Prince Thamer

at Saudi Embassy

15 minutes after hearing

this morning's news.

And after speaking

with Thamer,

I advised withholding

additional U.S. Personnel,

because a large part

of the religious justification

for these bombs is the presence

of current U.S. Personnel.

More boots on Saudi soil

is only gonna make

an already combustible situation

that much more so.

CANAVESIO:
My two cents.

The Saudis have not asked for F.B.I. Help.

They've done the opposite.

This is just going to further complicate

an already deteriorating situation

with one of our few remaining

allies in the Middle East.

Rock solid logic.
