I'm gonna bring it

to you first.

I'm listening.

I need you to call Thamer

at the Embassy,

tell him that the F.B.I.

Is getting ready

to lay out major Saudi VIP indictments

dealing with charity financing

out of this Boston investment firm.

We're gonna freeze a lot of Saudi cash

and roll out some

hardcore embarrassment.

And you tell them

I'm heading up the investigation.

And I'm not the nicest

kid on the block.

That's accurate.

And all I need is

15 minutes tonight.

Tonight?

Come on. Exclusive.

I know you like exclusives.

I'll see what I can do.

Your Excellency,

Special Agent Ronald Fleury.

Listen, can we talk inside?

Sure.

There's too many people in there

that know both me and you.

I would like to keep this

as discreet as possible.

I know you have a busy schedule.

It's just, so many people in there.

Why don't we

pull up here and talk?

I had an interesting conversation

with a reporter from the Post.

She exaggerates a lot of things.

Me, I consider myself a friend.

A friend of Saudi Arabia.

I just need a little cooperation,

that's all.

What kind of cooperation?

Like clearance to land

on the Prince Sultan's

airport tomorrow.

One month would be

as soon as we could.

One month. This is gonna go

down one of two ways.

One, the F.B.I. Has evidence that

two Royal Family wives donated

$10 million to three

Arab-American cultural centers

right outside of Boston,

and that some of that money

got to Jakarta

and these mosques, and they have

training camps right next to them.

It's just weird to see

little kids playing

and then not-so-little kids

playing with guns right next door.

It's just odd.

Don't you think?

You have no proof of this.

How do you know?

It's gonna be big.

It's gonna be a big story.

I mean, it's not just gonna be

in the metro papers.

It's gonna be in the Omaha Herald,

places like the Terrell Tribune.

You, you ever been

to Terrell, Texas?

Good chili.

What is your point?

I want in immediately.

Define immediately.

Right the f*** now immediately.

So, what was

Fran Manner to her?

He taught her how to shoot.

She introduced him

to his wife.

And he got her

into the Bureau.

They celebrated her graduation

at the IHOP

until some townie called

Janet something.

I don't know,

something not very nice.

So the townie didn't see Fran

coming out of the head,

but he definitely felt

Fran's uppercut shatter his jaw.

Really? And he didn't get

bounced for that?

No. No, Fleury took care of it.

Yeah, I do know the post in Riyadh was part

of the deal Fleury cut to save Fran's career.

Thank you. Janet, what did Fleury whisper

to you this morning?

Grant's age is a liability.
