Creating 'The Kingdom' Page #4

Well, we would like to be on the record

as saying the F.B.I. Would like

an Evidence Response on the ground in Riyadh now.

Doesn't your team in that country

represent exactly the kind

of target that these masters

would die for?

They'd trade 10 of their own

for one of you.

Not to go after criminals

because they might try to harm you

is really not

a policy of the F.B.I.

See, we try not to say uncle.

We try.

Let me put it to you

another way.

Al Qaeda lost the first phase

of this war.

And they know it.

So a new zero-sum phase

has begun.

'If you're a Westerner

or a moderate Arab

'and you won't join us, we will let loose

the truly talented murderers.'

Men like Abu Hamza.

These are

operational commanders

who plan, organize, train, brainwash,

preach extreme violence.

These are the men

we're fighting.

Duly noted.

YOUNG:
Anything else?

Now, as far as

the public's concerned

let's try to view this

through F.B.I. Agents' eyes.

Is that clear?

Sir, how do you suppose this is viewed

through F.B.I. Agents' eyes?

Pardon me?

I said, in this situation,

how do you feel this is viewed

through our eyes?

It's a variation of vengeance.

When one of your own is killed,

agents lose their analytical skills.

Kind of like a...

Thirty-six hours.

We don't do it in 36 hours,

we can forget it.

Agent Fleury, Agent Mayes,

I appreciate your passion.

Quite spirited.

If you were running the F.B.I. ,

you might turn it into Patton's Third Army.

Might be a good idea,

I don't know.

My daddy used to fly a helicopter

up in Saudi Arabia.

Is that right?

Now, where would he sit?

Would he sit either here,

or would he sit over there?

No, he used to sit

right here.

And you want to know a secret?

What?

My daddy died in Saudi Arabia.

Yeah. Your daddy died

in Saudi Arabia.

You know your daddy

was my friend, right?

Yeah.

So that means

that now you're my friend.

Yeah.

So, since we're friends

you promise to take me flying

when you know

how to fly this helicopter?

Yeah.

Good. Good.

What sound does it make

when it takes off?

(IMITATING HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

Yeah.

What about...

(IMITATING HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

Yeah, like that, huh?

That's when it's coming in.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

How hard you gonna hit

the Royal Family tomorrow in your column?

I'm gonna hit them

with a f***ing sledgehammer.

The bombings or other things?

What's other

than the bombings?

I know you've been tracking

our investigation on Al-Haramain, right?

Yeah. Royal Family's donations

that end up blowing sh*t up.

Yeah. Seat's taken.

I need a favor.

I don't do favors, Ronnie.

Listen, Elaine, when this thing breaks

and it's gonna be real,
