00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:40,597
This is the Persian Empire

3
00:00:41,278 --> 00:00:43,073
known today as Iran.

4
00:00:44,261 --> 00:00:48,121
For 2,500 years, this land
was ruled by a series of kings

5
00:00:48,526 --> 00:00:50,396
known as "Shahs".

6
00:00:51,303 --> 00:00:55,627
In 1950, the people of Iran
elected Mohammad Mosaddegh

7
00:00:55,877 --> 00:00:58,807
a secular democrat, as prime minister.

8
00:00:59,277 --> 00:01:02,607
He nationalized British and US
petroleum holdings,

9
00:01:02,877 --> 00:01:05,541
returning Iran's oil to its people.

10
00:01:07,077 --> 00:01:08,807
But in 1953,

11
00:01:08,937 --> 00:01:11,696
the US and Great Britain
engineered a coup d'etat

12
00:01:11,767 --> 00:01:16,741
that deposed Mosaddegh,
and installed Reza Pahlavi as Shah.

13
00:01:18,029 --> 00:01:21,359
The young child was known
for opulence and excess.

14
00:01:21,716 --> 00:01:24,444
His wife was rumored to bathe in milk,

15
00:01:24,768 --> 00:01:28,768
while the Shah had his lunches
flown in by concord from Paris.

16
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:31,575
The people starved.

17
00:01:33,937 --> 00:01:37,450
The Shah kept power through
his ruthless internal police,

18
00:01:37,607 --> 00:01:38,937
the Savak.

19
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:42,458
An era of torture and fear began.

20
00:01:44,730 --> 00:01:48,204
He then began a campaign
to westernize Iran,

21
00:01:49,317 --> 00:01:53,225
enraging the the mostly
traditional Shia population.

22
00:01:53,752 --> 00:01:58,052
In 1979,
the people of Iran overthrew the Shah.

23
00:02:00,081 --> 00:02:04,621
The exiled cleric, Ayatollah Khomeini,
returned to rule Iran.

24
00:02:07,007 --> 00:02:12,835
It descended into score settling,
death squads and chaos.

25
00:02:15,407 --> 00:02:19,277
Dying of cancer, the Shah
was given asylum in the US.

26
00:02:21,121 --> 00:02:24,941
The Iranian people took
to the streets outside the US embassy,

27
00:02:25,011 --> 00:02:28,612
demanding that the Shah
be returned, tried…

28
00:02:30,021 --> 00:02:30,924
and hanged.

29
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:42,934
The carnival is a
little bigger today, huh?

30
00:03:45,025 --> 00:03:47,388
The windows are supposed
to be bulletproof, right?

31
00:03:48,277 --> 00:03:49,727
They have never been tested.

32
00:03:50,071 --> 00:03:52,221
Okay, you just need to finish filling out

33
00:03:52,397 --> 00:03:53,747
this section here.

34
00:04:46,547 --> 00:04:48,127
We need some security.

35
00:04:48,227 --> 00:04:50,193
Yes, it is your responsibility-

36
00:04:50,201 --> 00:04:51,957
They drew over the walls.

37
00:04:52,047 --> 00:04:53,147
We should all split.

38
00:04:53,327 --> 00:04:54,618
I'm gonna close up my office.

39
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,358
My God!

40
00:05:16,457 --> 00:05:17,657
Marins to Number 1.

41
00:05:17,927 --> 00:05:18,617
Full back.

42
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:19,468
– Look, I need police,
– Can anyone hear me?

43
00:05:19,469 --> 00:05:20,387
– I need police right now.
– We're on the second floor.

44
00:05:20,397 --> 00:05:21,168
– You understand me?
– We need help.

45
00:05:21,177 --> 00:05:22,307
Right now, goddamn it!

46
00:05:22,619 --> 00:05:24,315
Can anybody hear me?

47
00:05:24,316 --> 00:05:25,147
There is a breach.

48
00:05:27,335 --> 00:05:28,778
Burn everything! Burn it, now!

49
00:05:28,786 --> 00:05:31,747
Alright burn everything,
all the files, file cabinets, safe.

50
00:05:46,537 --> 00:05:47,635
Lets get a cart over here.

51
00:05:47,636 --> 00:05:48,737
Burn it all, come on!

52
00:05:48,767 --> 00:05:51,125
Burn everything, including
the classified. Everything!

53
00:05:56,597 --> 00:05:58,447
Don't fucking shoot anybody.

54
00:05:58,682 --> 00:06:01,190
You don't want to be
the son of a bitch who started the war.

55
00:06:01,429 --> 00:06:03,142
They need an hour to burn the classified.

56
00:06:04,193 --> 00:06:05,095
I need you to hold.

57
00:06:05,397 --> 00:06:06,607
If you shoot one person,

58
00:06:07,097 --> 00:06:09,206
they're gonna kill every
single one of us in here.

59
00:06:18,297 --> 00:06:21,074
I'm telling you if we're going to go,
we need to go now!

60
00:06:21,081 --> 00:06:23,226
– And we need to make a decision, and-
– Joe can we- Joe can we wait,

61
00:06:23,236 --> 00:06:24,987
can we wait until
the Iranian police come?

62
00:06:24,993 --> 00:06:26,407
– No!
– They're not coming.

63
00:06:27,207 --> 00:06:28,267
How do you know they're not coming?

64
00:06:28,277 --> 00:06:29,290
They may well be coming.

65
00:06:29,306 --> 00:06:30,596
The police have abandoned their post-

66
00:06:30,604 --> 00:06:33,125
If the police are not coming, okay,
then the army's gonna come.

67
00:06:33,133 --> 00:06:33,967
The Prime Minister is not gonna let
the embassy be taken over.

68
00:06:33,977 --> 00:06:36,585
I understand. The Prime Minister
may come tomorrow,

69
00:06:36,586 --> 00:06:38,065
but the Komiteh are here today.

70
00:06:38,066 --> 00:06:40,226
Alright, is there- is there any value
that we're waiting 15-

71
00:06:40,237 --> 00:06:40,996
Look at me!

72
00:06:41,207 --> 00:06:42,297
No one is coming.

73
00:06:42,323 --> 00:06:43,722
Burn it!
We have forty minutes.

74
00:06:46,697 --> 00:06:49,197
Get it down to the incinerator,
in the vault. Now!

75
00:06:49,254 --> 00:06:51,064
Tear gas is a last resort only.

76
00:06:51,098 --> 00:06:53,757
<i>I repeat: only if you're under threat.</i>

77
00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:35,663
In here, we are in America right now,
outside of these doors, we are in Iran!

78
00:07:35,664 --> 00:07:36,592
I'm not going out there!

79
00:07:36,593 --> 00:07:38,360
– They're not safe here.
-Alright, first let's get these-

80
00:07:38,377 --> 00:07:40,535
If they get caught
applying for visas to the US…

81
00:07:40,543 --> 00:07:42,025
You know what, lets-
lets wait five minutes.

82
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,407
We're in the only building
with direct access to the street,

83
00:07:44,408 --> 00:07:46,407
if we're going to go,
then we need to go now!

84
00:07:46,647 --> 00:07:48,151
– Yeah, I'm in.
– Yeah.

85
00:07:48,184 --> 00:07:48,985
Yeah, lets go.

86
00:07:54,172 --> 00:07:55,077
I'm going outside.

87
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,007
Why?

88
00:07:56,157 --> 00:07:57,377
To reason them.

89
00:08:24,075 --> 00:08:25,004
Open the door!

90
00:08:26,139 --> 00:08:27,287
Open the door!

91
00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:29,287
Open this goddamn door!

92
00:08:31,163 --> 00:08:33,427
You said you wanna see the world, Elton?

93
00:08:33,803 --> 00:08:36,295
Let me in! Let me in!

94
00:08:44,323 --> 00:08:46,141
– Burn it all, come on!
– Right come on, guys!

95
00:08:46,155 --> 00:08:48,617
The safe and the filing cabinets get long.

96
00:08:56,337 --> 00:08:58,637
All four drawers,
I want them shredded, right now!

97
00:08:58,638 --> 00:09:00,033
But the shred not fast enough.

98
00:09:00,944 --> 00:09:03,056
Guys, get the visa plates.

99
00:09:04,016 --> 00:09:06,518
All four, and anything
else you see out there.

100
00:09:07,035 --> 00:09:08,875
If in doubt, you shred it.

101
00:09:11,255 --> 00:09:14,054
We've got ten minutes,
lets go, go, go, everything!

102
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:24,543
Get the shredder.

103
00:09:24,565 --> 00:09:26,170
There are no police.

104
00:10:30,997 --> 00:10:31,804
– Okay.
– Come on.

105
00:10:31,812 --> 00:10:33,955
– Where do we go?
– We gotta get off the streets.

106
00:10:34,443 --> 00:10:35,939
This way, up here to the left.

107
00:11:06,415 --> 00:11:08,097
These fucks hit us,
we can't hit 'em back?

108
00:11:08,098 --> 00:11:10,097
Mossaddegh, we did it to them first.

109
00:11:10,126 --> 00:11:12,187
The Soviets would put up with this shit,
they would fucking invade them.

110
00:11:12,210 --> 00:11:12,832
Shaffer!

111
00:11:12,834 --> 00:11:15,573
Sir, what d'you expect? We helped the guy
torture and deball an entire population.

112
00:11:15,588 --> 00:11:16,337
How many were there?

113
00:11:16,417 --> 00:11:18,007
At least fifty. We're not sure.

114
00:11:18,603 --> 00:11:19,327
Shaffer!

115
00:11:19,343 --> 00:11:20,584
You still haven't found Shaffer?

116
00:11:20,603 --> 00:11:22,799
No I was screaming his name
'cos I was fucking 'em.

117
00:11:26,317 --> 00:11:27,937
It's confirmed, sir, six escaped.

118
00:11:27,977 --> 00:11:29,117
I was told five.

119
00:11:29,177 --> 00:11:30,487
Now sir, apparently it's six.

120
00:11:30,707 --> 00:11:31,447
So what happened?

121
00:11:31,448 --> 00:11:33,517
Not clear. We know they
escaped the embassy.

122
00:11:33,657 --> 00:11:34,359
Where are they?

123
00:11:34,417 --> 00:11:35,936
The Canadian Ambassador's house.

124
00:11:35,937 --> 00:11:37,700
Do they stay put?
Are we attempting a rescue?

125
00:11:37,727 --> 00:11:39,214
I put through the Secretary of State.

126
00:11:39,495 --> 00:11:40,295
Yes.

127
00:11:40,585 --> 00:11:41,749
Is White House joining?

128
00:11:41,765 --> 00:11:43,839
They're claiming the Embassy
was a den of espionage.

129
00:11:43,844 --> 00:11:45,526
We wish it was a fucking den of espionage.

130
00:11:45,544 --> 00:11:48,312
CIA's got three people over there,
they don't see a revolution coming?

131
00:11:48,323 --> 00:11:50,010
Call it something other then intelligence.

132
00:11:50,051 --> 00:11:51,723
Hold for the Chief of Staff.
Harding?

133
00:11:51,797 --> 00:11:52,588
I'll call him back.

134
00:11:52,842 --> 00:11:55,407
They're sticking to it, no release
till we expel the Shah.

135
00:11:55,421 --> 00:11:56,855
Well, put him on a plane then, fuck him!

136
00:11:56,870 --> 00:11:58,252
He's half dead and he's in chemo.

137
00:11:58,466 --> 00:12:00,149
Well, we took him in, he's ours now.

138
00:12:00,229 --> 00:12:02,599
Great, so we'll take any prick
as long as he's got cancer?

139
00:12:02,747 --> 00:12:04,127
Just the pricks on our side.

140
00:12:04,587 --> 00:12:06,415
So all of our other pricks
on their prick thrones

141
00:12:06,416 --> 00:12:07,854
will know that when they
get thrown out on a rail,

142
00:12:07,862 --> 00:12:09,451
they won't get their
fucking spleens taken out

143
00:12:09,459 --> 00:12:11,287
by some camel vet in Sinai.

144
00:12:11,481 --> 00:12:13,384
What about the six who are
with the Canadians?

145
00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:17,395
We've got sixty in the Embassy
with guns to their heads right now.

146
00:12:17,396 --> 00:12:18,665
The whole world is
watching the Embassy.

147
00:12:18,666 --> 00:12:20,148
That makes them safer
than the six on the street.

148
00:12:20,158 --> 00:12:22,489
Bonnie Sauder's saying
it will be over in twenty-four hours.

149
00:12:26,197 --> 00:12:27,437
We leave the six where they are.

150
00:12:27,937 --> 00:12:29,437
I'll go brief the President.

151
00:12:31,911 --> 00:12:33,731
Right, I'll through it.

152
00:13:02,097 --> 00:13:05,825
<i>Iran's Revolutionary Guard, has
rounded up a gang of terrorist blamed</i>

153
00:13:05,832 --> 00:13:09,652
<i>for one murder of a half-dozen
followers of Ayatollah Khomeini.</i>

154
00:13:10,177 --> 00:13:13,896
<i>It says security at Khomeini's home
now has been raised.</i>

155
00:13:13,897 --> 00:13:18,826
<i>This by the way, is the 69th day that the
American hostages have been held in Tehran,</i>

156
00:13:18,827 --> 00:13:22,497
<i>there is no change reported
in the hostage situation.</i>

157
00:13:22,697 --> 00:13:26,401
<i>In this country, George Mitty died last
night, he was eighty five years old.</i>

158
00:13:28,127 --> 00:13:29,127
Yeah.

159
00:13:30,787 --> 00:13:31,587
Yes.

160
00:13:34,802 --> 00:13:35,537
What?

161
00:13:35,777 --> 00:13:38,277
<i>To begin with, of course,
we wanted to learn</i>

162
00:13:38,377 --> 00:13:41,736
<i>about the hostages held in
the American Embassy compound.</i>

163
00:13:41,737 --> 00:13:45,377
<i>They may not understand what their
ordeal means to their countrymen.</i>

164
00:13:45,477 --> 00:13:47,907
<i>That this nation,
their nation, is outraged.</i>

165
00:13:47,966 --> 00:13:50,463
<i>And we cannot really
know what it is like</i>

166
00:13:50,477 --> 00:13:53,177
<i>inside the prison
that was once our embassy.</i>

167
00:13:53,607 --> 00:13:58,049
<i>Actions of Iran have shocked
the civilized world.</i>

168
00:13:58,407 --> 00:14:03,897
<i>Our embassy has been seized, and
more than sixty American citizens</i>

169
00:14:03,934 --> 00:14:05,807
<i>continue to be held as hostages,-</i>

170
00:14:05,808 --> 00:14:10,007
<i>As the situation in Iran this morning
is unchanged for the hostages,-</i>

171
00:14:10,307 --> 00:14:13,477
<i>the NBC situation in Iran
has changed however-</i>

172
00:14:24,744 --> 00:14:25,591
What happened?

173
00:14:26,647 --> 00:14:28,957
Six of them went out a back exit.

174
00:14:29,357 --> 00:14:30,816
Brits turned them away,

175
00:14:30,817 --> 00:14:33,557
Kiwis turned them away,
Canadians took 'em in.

176
00:14:33,757 --> 00:14:35,877
Traffic calls them 'House Guests'.

177
00:14:35,929 --> 00:14:39,326
They haven't left the Canadian
Ambassador's house since it happened.

178
00:14:39,327 --> 00:14:40,845
Why didn't we get them ten weeks ago?

179
00:14:40,846 --> 00:14:41,677
Too dangerous.

180
00:14:41,709 --> 00:14:45,247
We got revolutionary guards going
door to door, like Jehovah's Witnesses.

181
00:14:45,387 --> 00:14:48,956
Half of them think that Khomeini's been
too lenient on the ones in the Embassy.

182
00:14:48,957 --> 00:14:50,066
What about the White House?

183
00:14:50,157 --> 00:14:52,727
Carter's shitting enough bricks
to build the pyramids.

184
00:14:53,077 --> 00:14:54,726
The Canadians are done,

185
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,215
they say they're baring too much risk.

186
00:14:56,216 --> 00:14:58,277
Their Foreign Secretary
corners Vance in Brussels,

187
00:14:58,278 --> 00:15:01,076
and told him she wants
the six of them out.

188
00:15:01,077 --> 00:15:02,097
Who else knows?

189
00:15:02,127 --> 00:15:03,496
Just the families.

190
00:15:03,497 --> 00:15:05,646
Meanwhile, some genius in our Embassy

191
00:15:05,647 --> 00:15:08,047
was keeping a mug book on
everybody who worked there.

192
00:15:08,187 --> 00:15:09,587
Jesus Christ!

193
00:15:09,605 --> 00:15:11,926
We think it got shredded
before they got in.

194
00:15:11,927 --> 00:15:14,046
But now the bastards are using

195
00:15:14,047 --> 00:15:16,526
sweatshop kids
to reassemble the shreds.

196
00:15:16,527 --> 00:15:19,986
Once they reassemble that book,
they'll know six Americans got out

197
00:15:19,987 --> 00:15:21,587
and they'll know what they look like.

198
00:15:21,588 --> 00:15:24,126
Standing room only for
beheadings in the square.

199
00:15:24,127 --> 00:15:25,247
Who's handling?

200
00:15:26,127 --> 00:15:28,127
State is coordinating in-house.

201
00:15:29,017 --> 00:15:29,877
State?

202
00:15:30,817 --> 00:15:31,877
They don't do exfil's.

203
00:15:31,878 --> 00:15:32,956
They do now.

204
00:15:32,957 --> 00:15:35,697
They wanna run it by us,
strictly as consultants.

205
00:15:35,787 --> 00:15:37,757
Engell says, it's a lose-lose.

206
00:15:37,897 --> 00:15:39,187
These people die,

207
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:41,187
they die badly, publicly.

208
00:15:41,617 --> 00:15:42,897
State wants the blame,

209
00:15:42,987 --> 00:15:43,927
we'll give it to 'em.

210
00:15:44,757 --> 00:15:46,157
What does he want me here for?

211
00:15:46,327 --> 00:15:49,587
So he can tell State
he ran it by his best exfil guy.

212
00:15:55,927 --> 00:15:57,127
Okay.

213
00:15:57,587 --> 00:16:00,416
This is Bob Pender from State OS,

214
00:16:00,417 --> 00:16:02,417
he's been talking
to Morgan, an ex-staff.

215
00:16:03,647 --> 00:16:04,417
Thank you.

216
00:16:05,387 --> 00:16:06,187
Alright.

217
00:16:06,987 --> 00:16:10,097
Mark and Cora Lijek,
twenty-nine and twenty-five,

218
00:16:10,098 --> 00:16:13,387
he's a Consular Officer, she's
an assistant, newly weds,

219
00:16:13,677 --> 00:16:16,277
They uh… only just got
there a couple months ago,

220
00:16:16,617 --> 00:16:20,246
No language skills
or in-country knowledge.

221
00:16:20,247 --> 00:16:21,646
Henry Lee Schatz,

222
00:16:21,697 --> 00:16:23,986
Agricultural attaché from Idaho,

223
00:16:23,987 --> 00:16:25,987
a bit of an oddball apparently,

224
00:16:26,077 --> 00:16:29,587
he was there to sell U.S.
tractors to Iranian agro.

225
00:16:29,697 --> 00:16:31,787
Joe Stafford, late twenties

226
00:16:32,017 --> 00:16:32,897
he's smart

227
00:16:33,047 --> 00:16:34,987
and a climber, speaks Farsi,

228
00:16:35,387 --> 00:16:37,387
he arranged the hire of his wife,

229
00:16:37,617 --> 00:16:38,446
Kathy.

230
00:16:38,447 --> 00:16:39,787
The Embassy was understaffed,

231
00:16:39,788 --> 00:16:41,787
so the faculty wives
were the typing pool.

232
00:16:41,788 --> 00:16:43,097
And Bob Anders,

233
00:16:43,157 --> 00:16:45,476
senior consular officer,
oldest of the group,

234
00:16:45,477 --> 00:16:47,247
and most likely to be group leader.

235
00:16:47,248 --> 00:16:49,877
They've been hiding at the
Canadian Ambassador's residence.

236
00:16:50,417 --> 00:16:54,296
Fortunately, we do not believe the
Iranians are aware the six have escaped.

237
00:16:54,297 --> 00:16:55,097
So…

238
00:16:55,962 --> 00:16:58,787
What we'd like for this are bicycles.

239
00:16:59,297 --> 00:17:02,277
We've identified back roads
from the Chamran district,

240
00:17:02,278 --> 00:17:04,616
couple of rat lines
through the mountains

241
00:17:04,617 --> 00:17:06,186
to the crossing near Tabriz.

242
00:17:06,187 --> 00:17:08,276
Cars are off the table,

243
00:17:08,277 --> 00:17:09,755
because of the road blocks.

244
00:17:09,756 --> 00:17:11,215
We wait until the weather clears up,

245
00:17:11,216 --> 00:17:12,587
then deliver the six bikes,

246
00:17:12,588 --> 00:17:14,587
provide them with maps
to the Turkish border.

247
00:17:14,588 --> 00:17:17,096
We have intelligence,
they can ride bicycles

248
00:17:17,097 --> 00:17:19,983
or we're prepared to send in
somebody to teach 'em.

249
00:17:27,877 --> 00:17:31,677
Or you could just send in training wheels
and meet them at the border with Gatorade.

250
00:17:31,787 --> 00:17:32,587
Tony…

251
00:17:33,077 --> 00:17:35,157
It's three hundred miles
to the Turkish border.

252
00:17:35,327 --> 00:17:37,956
They'd need a support team
following them with a tire pump.

253
00:17:37,957 --> 00:17:41,732
We were just asked to sharp shoot this,
State is handling the ops.

254
00:17:41,748 --> 00:17:43,527
I'm sorry, who is this?

255
00:17:43,647 --> 00:17:45,276
Tony is an exfil spesh,

256
00:17:45,277 --> 00:17:48,016
he's got a lot of Shah's
people out after the fall.

257
00:17:48,017 --> 00:17:50,587
Sir, if these people can read or add,

258
00:17:50,787 --> 00:17:53,447
pretty soon they're gonna figure out
they're six short of a full deck.

259
00:17:54,097 --> 00:17:56,555
It's winter. You can't afford
to wait around until spring,

260
00:17:56,556 --> 00:17:58,077
so it's nice enough
to take a bike ride.

261
00:17:58,187 --> 00:18:00,077
They only way out
of that city is the airport.

262
00:18:00,327 --> 00:18:01,875
You build new cover identities for 'em,

263
00:18:01,876 --> 00:18:04,047
you send in a Moses, he takes
them out on a commercial flight.

264
00:18:04,587 --> 00:18:05,932
We've explored those options.

265
00:18:05,940 --> 00:18:08,810
You're never gonna get them through
airport control, Komiteh own the place.

266
00:18:08,834 --> 00:18:12,325
They could pose as reporters, if the
government issued seventy something…

267
00:18:12,326 --> 00:18:13,275
– Seventy four.
– Visas,

268
00:18:13,276 --> 00:18:15,097
– for American journalists…
– And the Revolutionary Guards

269
00:18:15,098 --> 00:18:16,676
keep them on seventy four leashes.

270
00:18:16,677 --> 00:18:18,677
If they're caught with
fake journalist creds,

271
00:18:18,793 --> 00:18:20,817
it's Peter and Jane's head
in a noose in an hour.

272
00:18:20,818 --> 00:18:23,616
Look, North America accents
gives us limited options,

273
00:18:23,617 --> 00:18:25,220
so we get the Canadians
to issue them passports.

274
00:18:25,221 --> 00:18:27,797
What about English teachers
at the international school?

275
00:18:27,813 --> 00:18:29,995
It's a good idea, but that school's
been closed for eight months.

276
00:18:29,996 --> 00:18:32,557
Okay, so how about
'the do-gooders'?

277
00:18:34,247 --> 00:18:35,729
Six Canadians have been over there

278
00:18:35,737 --> 00:18:38,127
inspecting crops, ensuring the kids
are getting enough to eat,

279
00:18:38,128 --> 00:18:40,897
we give them creds, makes
them look like ag' NGOs.

280
00:18:41,047 --> 00:18:42,897
It's a 'feed the kids' thing.

281
00:18:43,327 --> 00:18:43,785
Okay.

282
00:18:43,786 --> 00:18:45,017
Those kids are black.

283
00:18:45,877 --> 00:18:47,246
Those are African kids.

284
00:18:47,247 --> 00:18:49,326
We can get ethnically appropriate kids.

285
00:18:49,327 --> 00:18:51,046
Are there starving kids in Iran?

286
00:18:51,047 --> 00:18:53,587
I'm sure there's some
skinny kids in Iran.

287
00:18:53,823 --> 00:18:55,392
What about missionary?
– Or… seeds…

288
00:18:55,448 --> 00:18:56,947
called… "seeds of hope".

289
00:18:57,017 --> 00:18:59,872
Hold on… Sir, do you have
this newspaper in front of you?

290
00:18:59,888 --> 00:19:01,468
Would you mind taking a look at it?

291
00:19:03,157 --> 00:19:04,527
What's in this picture?

292
00:19:05,157 --> 00:19:05,845
Tehran.

293
00:19:05,846 --> 00:19:07,217
Right.
What's on the ground?

294
00:19:09,817 --> 00:19:11,447
– Snow.
– Right.

295
00:19:11,587 --> 00:19:15,187
So what crops are the 'do-gooders'
inspecting under frosting?

296
00:19:16,987 --> 00:19:17,677
Sir…

297
00:19:18,447 --> 00:19:20,127
Exfils are like abortions.

298
00:19:20,417 --> 00:19:21,757
You don't wanna need one.

299
00:19:22,097 --> 00:19:24,647
But when you do,
you don't do it yourself.

300
00:19:30,097 --> 00:19:31,557
You have a better plan?

301
00:19:32,787 --> 00:19:33,831
No Sir.

302
00:19:37,497 --> 00:19:40,026
<i>What ever the conflicting
signals from Iran today,</i>

303
00:19:40,034 --> 00:19:41,494
<i>for that matter everyday,</i>

304
00:19:41,502 --> 00:19:45,216
<i>about whether the hostages will
or will not be tried as spies,</i>

305
00:19:45,217 --> 00:19:49,127
<i>the government of the United States
has not deviated from its basic demands:</i>

306
00:19:49,297 --> 00:19:51,084
<i>the hostages must be freed.</i>

307
00:19:51,085 --> 00:19:52,327
.. to defend human rights,

308
00:19:52,328 --> 00:19:54,416
it not only does not defend them,

309
00:19:54,417 --> 00:19:57,156
it violates them for all nations.

310
00:19:57,157 --> 00:20:02,216
We demand extradition of a man
who for more than 37 years,

311
00:20:02,217 --> 00:20:05,507
with the United States support,
has killed months old babies

312
00:20:05,508 --> 00:20:07,246
in the arms of their mothers.

313
00:20:07,247 --> 00:20:11,446
<i>He said that if the Americans try
military force to rescue the hostages,</i>

314
00:20:11,447 --> 00:20:14,817
<i>the students will kill them all
and blow up the Embassy.</i>

315
00:20:16,017 --> 00:20:19,309
<i>Americans were outraged
at Iran and anyone Iranian.</i>

316
00:20:19,325 --> 00:20:22,247
<i>Before this decision was taken,
there was a demonstration in Houston.</i>

317
00:20:22,248 --> 00:20:25,674
<i>An Iranian flag was burned,
while Anti-Iranians demonstrators</i>

318
00:20:25,682 --> 00:20:28,275
<i>gathered near the Iranian
Consulate. The demonstrators-</i>

319
00:20:28,297 --> 00:20:31,771
<i>.. also it's what led to a decision
to scrutinize the bases of the Iranian-</i>

320
00:20:31,787 --> 00:20:34,895
They knew exactly what
was going on, they knew it.

321
00:20:34,896 --> 00:20:37,465
But I don't understand wha-
what they should do now,

322
00:20:37,481 --> 00:20:40,137
send them back, just to-
to be tortured and killed?

323
00:20:40,138 --> 00:20:41,941
I don't think that justice
is the worst thing.

324
00:20:41,942 --> 00:20:45,712
<i>When did people first tell you
that torture was going on in Iran?</i>

325
00:20:45,717 --> 00:20:47,262
<i>They would never come to me and say:</i>

326
00:20:47,278 --> 00:20:50,016
<i>"Well Sir, we have tortured this fellow".</i>

327
00:20:50,017 --> 00:20:53,387
<i>.. Sadat of Egypt he calls you Imam,</i>

328
00:20:53,522 --> 00:20:57,297
<i>forgive me, his words not mine: A lunatic.</i>

329
00:20:57,447 --> 00:21:00,159
Why didn't he have a choice,
why do you think he didn't have a choice?

330
00:21:00,167 --> 00:21:02,015
Because he would have been
referred to as a barbarian.

331
00:21:02,016 --> 00:21:03,037
– Please!
– That's why they're stating

332
00:21:03,045 --> 00:21:04,677
he liked the current regime!

333
00:21:04,939 --> 00:21:06,733
The Shah did more for women's right-

334
00:21:06,753 --> 00:21:07,923
I think we've better if…

335
00:21:08,157 --> 00:21:10,369
Please everyone, get into the coal.

336
00:21:27,357 --> 00:21:28,157
<i>.. Get out of here!</i>

337
00:21:28,164 --> 00:21:30,415
<i>At one point the mob
cornered one of Iranians.</i>

338
00:21:30,416 --> 00:21:33,677
<i>When he tried to protect
himself, this is what happened.</i>

339
00:21:34,817 --> 00:21:35,787
<i>Hit him again!</i>

340
00:21:36,217 --> 00:21:37,877
<i>Hit him until he can't take it anymore!</i>

341
00:21:37,878 --> 00:21:39,877
<i>We're sick of them!
– Yeah!</i>

342
00:21:40,647 --> 00:21:42,097
<i>America!</i>

343
00:21:42,217 --> 00:21:44,199
<i>.. even in our little community here,</i>

344
00:21:44,247 --> 00:21:47,477
<i>I mean people are drawn
uptight, they're tense.</i>

345
00:21:48,157 --> 00:21:51,647
<i>They shouldn't even let those
students in that Embassy there.</i>

346
00:21:52,297 --> 00:21:54,697
<i>Just shoot a couple of 'em.
Show 'em we mean business.</i>

347
00:21:55,277 --> 00:21:58,925
<i>Men who served in Vietnam for what
they believed was right are angry.</i>

348
00:21:58,926 --> 00:21:59,987
<i>I'm mad as hell.</i>

349
00:22:00,017 --> 00:22:03,782
<i>I'm- I'm like the guy screaming on that
movie program in 'network' you know,</i>

350
00:22:03,830 --> 00:22:06,232
<i>I've had it! And if huh…</i>

351
00:22:06,447 --> 00:22:08,557
<i>if need be I'll bear arms again!</i>

352
00:22:08,897 --> 00:22:12,527
<i>That's the way it is,
Wednesday, January 16th, 1980.</i>

353
00:22:12,847 --> 00:22:16,877
<i>74th day of captivity
for 50 Americans in Iran.</i>

354
00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:26,276
Hello?

355
00:22:26,277 --> 00:22:27,217
My man!

356
00:22:27,497 --> 00:22:28,587
I'll get mom.

357
00:22:29,301 --> 00:22:30,370
I'm calling for you.

358
00:22:32,647 --> 00:22:34,187
Did you do your homework tonight?

359
00:22:34,357 --> 00:22:35,327
Yeah it was easy.

360
00:22:35,817 --> 00:22:37,326
Excellent.
What are we watching?

361
00:22:37,350 --> 00:22:38,750
Battle for the Planet of the Apes.

362
00:22:39,557 --> 00:22:40,957
Tell me, what channel is it on?

363
00:22:41,277 --> 00:22:42,097
Five.

364
00:22:46,697 --> 00:22:47,477
Alright.

365
00:22:49,387 --> 00:22:50,848
What did you do at school today?

366
00:22:50,987 --> 00:22:52,587
Nothing, I don't know.
Nothing.

367
00:22:54,697 --> 00:22:57,387
It can't be nothing.
Something must've happened.

368
00:22:57,457 --> 00:22:59,161
After school I've traded baseball cards,-

369
00:22:59,209 --> 00:23:00,415
Hmm-Hmm…

370
00:23:18,515 --> 00:23:21,041
Ok you know those science
fiction, Star Trek, Star Wars,

371
00:23:21,049 --> 00:23:22,897
they need an exotic location to shoot,

372
00:23:22,898 --> 00:23:24,897
Moonscape, Mars, desert, you know…

373
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:26,627
Now image this.

374
00:23:27,957 --> 00:23:32,077
They're a Canadian film crew on a location
scout for a science fiction movie.

375
00:23:32,647 --> 00:23:33,817
We put it out there,

376
00:23:33,987 --> 00:23:35,817
the Canadian producers
put it out there.

377
00:23:35,927 --> 00:23:38,357
They were looking at Egypt, Istanbul.

378
00:23:39,097 --> 00:23:43,047
Then we go to the Consulate and say:
'Hey, we want to look in Iran too'.

379
00:23:43,447 --> 00:23:46,757
I fly into Tehran, we all fly
out together as a film crew.

380
00:23:47,297 --> 00:23:47,877
Done.

381
00:23:47,878 --> 00:23:50,225
Flamboyant cover identity
should be avoided

382
00:23:50,233 --> 00:23:51,931
as it increases operational visibility.

383
00:23:51,939 --> 00:23:53,333
This is a lot more
plausible than foreigners

384
00:23:53,341 --> 00:23:54,875
who wanna become teachers in Iran.

385
00:23:54,876 --> 00:23:57,585
You want to blend in with the population
you don't look like a rodeo clown.

386
00:23:57,586 --> 00:24:00,415
Just gonna wake up tomorrow morning
and be in the movie business?

387
00:24:00,416 --> 00:24:02,247
We already have credentials
for the teachers.

388
00:24:02,327 --> 00:24:03,725
No Sir, we have a contact in-

389
00:24:03,726 --> 00:24:05,125
– Chambers.
– John Chambers,

390
00:24:05,126 --> 00:24:07,552
he's a Hollywood prosthetics guy, he's got
an Oscar, he did Planet of the Apes

391
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,817
he's done a bunch of contract
work for us in the past.

392
00:24:10,697 --> 00:24:12,557
I go see him, he sets this up.

393
00:24:12,558 --> 00:24:14,647
One, two days, make it look real.

394
00:24:29,727 --> 00:24:31,157
I went outside for thirty seconds.

395
00:24:31,417 --> 00:24:31,895
Alright?

396
00:24:31,896 --> 00:24:33,787
Could you give me a break?
I can't breath in this house.

397
00:24:33,788 --> 00:24:35,846
I need some fresh air,
I can't- I can't breath!

398
00:24:35,847 --> 00:24:37,095
Stay inside the fucking house!

399
00:24:37,096 --> 00:24:38,228
Who saw me go outside, I'm just curious?

400
00:24:38,236 --> 00:24:39,601
– That's not the point.
– That's not the point Bob.

401
00:24:39,617 --> 00:24:41,099
Doesn't matter if I saw you
go out or you see me.

402
00:24:41,107 --> 00:24:42,924
– Did you see me go out?
– No! You did go outside…

403
00:24:42,932 --> 00:24:44,772
I did. Okay, I saw you.

404
00:24:44,780 --> 00:24:48,017
Bob, it only takes one
second for them to spot you.

405
00:24:53,017 --> 00:24:55,097
Some Americans are missing.

406
00:24:55,497 --> 00:24:57,494
Look at the repaired list
of embassy employees.

407
00:24:58,327 --> 00:24:59,847
The numbers don't match.

408
00:25:00,157 --> 00:25:03,527
Finish assembling the
pictures from the Embassy.

409
00:25:03,647 --> 00:25:06,157
All I need is their faces
and I will find them.

410
00:25:06,217 --> 00:25:08,017
Yes Sir, it'll be done.

411
00:25:20,277 --> 00:25:21,897
We want you to go to LA.

412
00:25:22,047 --> 00:25:25,077
If you can make the movie thing
credible, we'll take it to the director.

413
00:25:26,277 --> 00:25:27,077
Don't fuck up.

414
00:25:27,877 --> 00:25:29,557
The whole country is watching you.

415
00:25:30,447 --> 00:25:31,787
They just don't know it.

416
00:25:39,357 --> 00:25:41,077
My creation…

417
00:25:42,127 --> 00:25:43,587
My creation!

418
00:25:50,097 --> 00:25:51,157
What the fuck, Bryan?

419
00:25:51,158 --> 00:25:52,787
– Cut!
– We are cutting!

420
00:25:56,247 --> 00:25:57,417
Chambers!

421
00:25:57,477 --> 00:25:59,417
John Chambers make up!

422
00:26:11,097 --> 00:26:14,787
He says the minotaur prosthetic
is too tight so he can't act.

423
00:26:15,447 --> 00:26:17,897
If he could act, he wouldn't
be playing a minotaur.

424
00:26:24,097 --> 00:26:25,217
Mr. Chambers…

425
00:26:26,187 --> 00:26:27,217
Kevin Arkins.

426
00:26:29,557 --> 00:26:30,587
Hey Tony.

427
00:26:56,697 --> 00:26:58,097
What are you shooting?

428
00:26:58,587 --> 00:27:00,097
Monster movie.

429
00:27:01,277 --> 00:27:03,477
Yeah? Any good?

430
00:27:04,157 --> 00:27:05,817
Target audience will hate it.

431
00:27:06,017 --> 00:27:07,817
Who's the target audience?

432
00:27:07,897 --> 00:27:08,877
People with eyes.

433
00:27:12,077 --> 00:27:13,047
Talk to me.

434
00:27:15,247 --> 00:27:16,357
It's an exfil.

435
00:27:16,757 --> 00:27:17,617
From where?

436
00:27:19,017 --> 00:27:20,677
Worst place you can think of.

437
00:27:20,877 --> 00:27:22,677
Universal Studio.

438
00:27:28,787 --> 00:27:30,557
How are you gonna get in the Embassy?

439
00:27:30,697 --> 00:27:31,817
They're not in the Embassy.

440
00:27:32,017 --> 00:27:34,127
During the takeover six people escaped.

441
00:27:34,297 --> 00:27:36,127
They're hiding out in Tehran…

442
00:27:36,826 --> 00:27:38,117
and that's who I'm gonna go get.

443
00:27:38,140 --> 00:27:39,420
What am I making?

444
00:27:40,587 --> 00:27:42,537
I need you to help me
make a fake movie.

445
00:27:42,577 --> 00:27:44,897
Well, you're in the right place.

446
00:27:45,497 --> 00:27:48,646
I wanna setup a production company
and build a cover around making a movie.

447
00:27:48,647 --> 00:27:50,647
– That we're not gonna make.
– No.

448
00:27:51,247 --> 00:27:53,663
So you wanna come to
Hollywood and act like a big shot,

449
00:27:53,664 --> 00:27:54,173
Yeah.

450
00:27:54,181 --> 00:27:55,800
– without actually doing anything.
– No.

451
00:27:55,817 --> 00:27:57,127
You'll fit right in.

452
00:28:03,327 --> 00:28:04,587
Let's see.

453
00:28:05,645 --> 00:28:08,956
Well this one has got an M.A. in English,
she should be your screenwriter.

454
00:28:08,957 --> 00:28:12,127
Sometimes they go along on scouts
because they want their free meals.

455
00:28:12,187 --> 00:28:13,647
Here's your director.

456
00:28:14,097 --> 00:28:16,217
Can you teach somebody
to be a director in a day?

457
00:28:16,218 --> 00:28:18,927
You teach a recess monkey
to be a director in a day.

458
00:28:19,417 --> 00:28:22,417
Look if you're gonna do this,
you gotta do it.

459
00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:25,047
The Kominiacs are fruit loops,
but they got cousins

460
00:28:25,059 --> 00:28:27,787
who sell prayer rugs
and A-tracks on Le Brea.

461
00:28:28,387 --> 00:28:31,817
You can't build cover stories
around a movie that doesn't exist.

462
00:28:31,987 --> 00:28:34,157
You need a script, you need a producer.

463
00:28:34,247 --> 00:28:35,187
Make me a producer.

464
00:28:35,297 --> 00:28:38,127
No. You're… an
associate producer at best.

465
00:28:39,677 --> 00:28:42,677
You're gonna do a 20 million
dollars Star Wars rip-off.

466
00:28:42,927 --> 00:28:46,387
You need somebody who's a somebody,
to put their name on it.

467
00:28:46,727 --> 00:28:48,387
Somebody respectable…

468
00:28:49,897 --> 00:28:50,817
with credits…

469
00:28:52,157 --> 00:28:54,617
who you can trust
with classified information…

470
00:28:55,727 --> 00:28:57,787
who'd produce a fake movie…

471
00:28:58,617 --> 00:28:59,787
for free.

472
00:29:13,417 --> 00:29:15,157
Hi, I only got a couple of minutes.

473
00:29:15,187 --> 00:29:16,927
I'm getting a lifetime
achievement award.

474
00:29:17,017 --> 00:29:18,247
Mazel tov, Lester.

475
00:29:18,647 --> 00:29:22,017
I'd rather stay home and count
the wrinkles on my dog's balls.

476
00:29:22,587 --> 00:29:23,557
Okay.

477
00:29:23,697 --> 00:29:26,734
You got six people hiding out
in a town of what… 4 million people,

478
00:29:26,742 --> 00:29:30,587
all of whom chant death to
America' all the live long day.

479
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:32,557
You want to set up a movie in a week,

480
00:29:32,617 --> 00:29:36,077
you want to lie to Hollywood,
a town where everybody lies for a living,

481
00:29:36,187 --> 00:29:38,787
then you're gonna sneak 007 over here,

482
00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:42,327
into a country that wants CIA
blood on their breakfast cereal,

483
00:29:42,349 --> 00:29:45,987
and you're gonna walk the Brady Bunch
out of the most watched city in the world.

484
00:29:46,187 --> 00:29:48,987
That's about a hundred militia
at the airport. That's right.

485
00:29:50,387 --> 00:29:51,447
Right.

486
00:29:53,447 --> 00:29:55,187
Look I… I got to tell ya,

487
00:29:55,327 --> 00:29:59,077
we- we did suicide missions in the
Army that had better odds than this.

488
00:29:59,157 --> 00:30:00,587
Sir, the car is here.

489
00:30:08,587 --> 00:30:11,157
You ever think, Lester,
this is all for the cameras?

490
00:30:11,897 --> 00:30:14,687
Well, they're getting the ratings,
I'll say that for them.

491
00:30:26,787 --> 00:30:28,515
We're going to need a script.

492
00:30:58,677 --> 00:30:59,617
I love you.

493
00:31:09,587 --> 00:31:11,757
Sahar, how are you doing?

494
00:31:12,477 --> 00:31:13,957
Fine, thank you.

495
00:31:15,477 --> 00:31:17,665
Your friends from Canada, ma'am,

496
00:31:17,784 --> 00:31:19,697
all this time, they never go out.

497
00:31:34,897 --> 00:31:36,371
Sahar knows.

498
00:31:40,277 --> 00:31:42,247
How about 'The Horses of Achilles'?

499
00:31:42,327 --> 00:31:45,187
Νо gооd. Νоbоdy dоеѕ wеѕtеrnѕ аnymоrе.

500
00:31:45,277 --> 00:31:46,477
It's ancient Troy.

501
00:31:46,723 --> 00:31:48,697
If it's got horses in it,
it's a western.

502
00:31:49,677 --> 00:31:50,987
Hey, Kenny please?

503
00:31:51,127 --> 00:31:53,247
Yeah it's John Chambers,
about the office space.

504
00:31:53,297 --> 00:31:54,387
It doesn't matter.

505
00:31:54,727 --> 00:31:55,817
It's a fake movie.

506
00:31:55,927 --> 00:31:58,817
If I'm doing a fake movie,
it's going to be a fake hit.

507
00:31:59,647 --> 00:32:03,357
Cardinal wants all cover options
on his desk Friday morning.

508
00:32:03,417 --> 00:32:06,927
Engell's prepping the bikes option,
teachers option,

509
00:32:06,957 --> 00:32:09,357
you have 72 hours to make yours better.

510
00:32:10,677 --> 00:32:11,508
Fine.

511
00:32:36,387 --> 00:32:39,877
Hey is 8006 still on the open list?

512
00:32:41,217 --> 00:32:42,217
Yeah I'll hold.

513
00:32:42,447 --> 00:32:44,327
Fade in on a starship landing.

514
00:32:44,447 --> 00:32:46,527
An exotic Middle Eastern vibe.

515
00:32:46,677 --> 00:32:50,617
Women gather offering ecstatic
libations to the sky gods.

516
00:32:51,047 --> 00:32:51,847
Argo.

517
00:32:52,077 --> 00:32:53,647
"A Science-Fantasy Adventure."

518
00:32:54,297 --> 00:32:56,144
It's a turnaround, it's dog shit.

519
00:32:56,152 --> 00:32:58,517
It's a space movie in the Middle East.
Does it matter if-

520
00:32:58,527 --> 00:32:59,617
Could we get the option?

521
00:33:00,297 --> 00:33:01,587
Why do we need the option?

522
00:33:02,017 --> 00:33:03,587
You're worried about the Ayatollah?

523
00:33:03,697 --> 00:33:05,587
Try the WGA.

524
00:33:07,897 --> 00:33:09,077
Just let me do the talking.

525
00:33:09,247 --> 00:33:12,800
I've known this guy for 25 years,
he's full of shit, and he comes on hard,

526
00:33:12,816 --> 00:33:14,727
but uh… I can handle it.

527
00:33:16,527 --> 00:33:19,077
You want to go into production
with this in one month?

528
00:33:19,187 --> 00:33:20,817
Up like a carny ride.

529
00:33:20,877 --> 00:33:21,897
One month, yeah.

530
00:33:22,077 --> 00:33:24,557
– Who are you again?
– Kevin Arkins, Studio 6 Films.

531
00:33:24,697 --> 00:33:25,497
He's the money.

532
00:33:26,247 --> 00:33:28,127
Look, what d'you say uh…

533
00:33:28,187 --> 00:33:31,647
fifteen thou'and, let's close on this?

534
00:33:33,277 --> 00:33:34,987
You want me to be honest with you, Les?

535
00:33:35,077 --> 00:33:37,357
No. I would like you to bullshit me, Max.

536
00:33:37,927 --> 00:33:38,477
Alright.

537
00:33:39,757 --> 00:33:41,877
I enjoyed your films, the early ones.

538
00:33:42,447 --> 00:33:46,617
I took this meeting out of respect,
because I wanted to say no to your face.

539
00:33:47,817 --> 00:33:49,697
Thank you. Very respectful.

540
00:33:49,757 --> 00:33:51,327
You're finished, Lester.

541
00:33:51,677 --> 00:33:54,297
Get your cataracts fixed,
read the trades.

542
00:33:54,877 --> 00:33:57,417
MGM just capitalized for six new films.

543
00:33:57,557 --> 00:33:59,557
They're screaming for Sci-Fi.

544
00:34:00,247 --> 00:34:02,897
They're offering me four times
what you guys are offering me.

545
00:34:04,957 --> 00:34:07,387
Well… what can I say?

546
00:34:08,247 --> 00:34:09,647
Congratulations.

547
00:34:10,697 --> 00:34:12,017
But see,

548
00:34:12,357 --> 00:34:15,187
it kind of worries me what you
said, let me tell you why.

549
00:34:16,017 --> 00:34:19,877
Couple of weeks ago I was sitting
at Trader Vic's, I was enjoying a Mai Tai,

550
00:34:19,987 --> 00:34:21,697
when my pal, Warren Beatty comes in,

551
00:34:21,817 --> 00:34:24,047
he wishes me well,
we have a little chat.

552
00:34:24,497 --> 00:34:27,297
Seems he was attached
to star in 'Zulu Empire',

553
00:34:27,477 --> 00:34:29,677
which was just gonna anchor
that MGM slate.

554
00:34:30,017 --> 00:34:33,047
But Warren confided in me that
the picture's gone over budget

555
00:34:33,087 --> 00:34:36,127
because the Zulu extras
want to unionize.

556
00:34:36,277 --> 00:34:40,327
They may be cannibals, but they want
health and dental so the movie's kaput!

557
00:34:40,497 --> 00:34:43,877
Which means that the MGM
deal ain't gonna happen,

558
00:34:43,899 --> 00:34:47,077
and your script ain't worth
a buffalo shit on a nickel!

559
00:34:47,477 --> 00:34:51,157
So, the way it looks to me through
the cataracts I grant you,

560
00:34:51,247 --> 00:34:53,157
is that you can either sign here,

561
00:34:53,187 --> 00:34:56,277
and take 10,000 dollars
for your toilet-paper script,

562
00:34:56,387 --> 00:34:58,277
or you can go fuck yourself!

563
00:34:59,557 --> 00:35:01,047
With all due respect.

564
00:35:07,877 --> 00:35:09,217
You really know Warren Beatty?

565
00:35:09,477 --> 00:35:10,415
Yes I do.

566
00:35:10,416 --> 00:35:12,817
I took a leak next to him
once at the Golder Globes.

567
00:35:14,017 --> 00:35:14,817
Taco?

568
00:35:33,557 --> 00:35:34,927
Got any kids, Lester?

569
00:35:36,127 --> 00:35:37,987
Yeah, I have two daughters.

570
00:35:39,497 --> 00:35:40,557
See 'em much?

571
00:35:41,277 --> 00:35:43,127
I talk to 'em once a year…

572
00:35:43,817 --> 00:35:44,640
maybe.

573
00:35:44,677 --> 00:35:45,527
Why is that?

574
00:35:49,357 --> 00:35:51,017
I was a terrible father.

575
00:35:53,247 --> 00:35:54,757
The bullshit business…

576
00:35:55,557 --> 00:35:58,189
it's like coal mining, you- you
come home to your wife and kids,

577
00:35:58,197 --> 00:36:00,247
you can't… you can't wash it off.

578
00:36:02,077 --> 00:36:02,787
You?

579
00:36:04,509 --> 00:36:05,629
Yeah I got a son.

580
00:36:07,247 --> 00:36:09,097
He lives in Virgina with his mother.

581
00:36:13,187 --> 00:36:14,247
You're divorced?

582
00:36:15,277 --> 00:36:16,497
Taking time off.

583
00:36:19,077 --> 00:36:20,357
He needs to be, you know…

584
00:36:21,447 --> 00:36:22,497
where he is.

585
00:36:24,847 --> 00:36:26,327
Kids need the mother.

586
00:36:35,477 --> 00:36:39,787
They caught the Shah's chief of security
trying to get on a plane to Paris.

587
00:36:41,247 --> 00:36:42,017
Listen,

588
00:36:42,217 --> 00:36:46,077
"since the incident, the number
of guards at the airport has doubled,

589
00:36:46,187 --> 00:36:49,586
a thorough background examination
should be expected".

590
00:36:49,587 --> 00:36:51,188
The movie cover isn't strong enough yet,

591
00:36:51,189 --> 00:36:52,697
I need another week, Jack.

592
00:36:52,897 --> 00:36:53,927
You don't have it.

593
00:36:57,097 --> 00:36:58,387
We got an office,

594
00:36:58,647 --> 00:37:00,077
we got business cards,

595
00:37:01,047 --> 00:37:02,477
we got a poster.

596
00:37:03,787 --> 00:37:06,787
If I'm the Revolutionary Guard, there's
nothing we couldn't have made at home.

597
00:37:07,247 --> 00:37:09,387
Six people's lives depend on this.

598
00:37:10,927 --> 00:37:11,727
It's not enough.

599
00:37:11,877 --> 00:37:14,757
If we're gonna fool these people,
it has to be big,

600
00:37:14,897 --> 00:37:17,417
and it has to have something
that says it's authentic.

601
00:37:18,877 --> 00:37:21,477
I did a movie with Rock Hudson one time.

602
00:37:22,897 --> 00:37:25,187
If you want to sell a lie…

603
00:37:26,327 --> 00:37:28,817
get the press to sell it for you.

604
00:37:29,727 --> 00:37:33,387
No no no, press event, then they're-
they're gonna read through the script.

605
00:37:33,677 --> 00:37:37,527
I got a bunch of actors who are gonna read
from beginning to end, all the way through.

606
00:37:37,697 --> 00:37:39,677
They have costumes and everything.

607
00:37:39,847 --> 00:37:43,617
No, no, no, I can't, I got, uh,
Variety has the exclusive on that.

608
00:37:43,697 --> 00:37:46,957
Any way to make this more uh…
Middle Eastern?

609
00:37:47,477 --> 00:37:49,297
Mesopotamia?
Egypt?

610
00:37:49,677 --> 00:37:50,497
Iran.

611
00:37:50,527 --> 00:37:54,217
Look, I can get you in, but you
gotta promise me at least half a page.

612
00:37:54,387 --> 00:37:57,617
No, no, this thing's an event,
it's going to be a spectacle.

613
00:38:59,417 --> 00:39:00,187
Lester.

614
00:39:00,297 --> 00:39:03,277
Nina, you look fabulous!

615
00:39:03,417 --> 00:39:04,497
You doing the reading?

616
00:39:04,587 --> 00:39:06,816
I'm playing Serksi, the Galactic Witch.

617
00:39:06,817 --> 00:39:08,247
Great, I'll call ya.

618
00:39:10,357 --> 00:39:13,017
Keep that fucking space
witch away from me.

619
00:39:13,247 --> 00:39:14,097
You know her?

620
00:39:14,417 --> 00:39:15,527
I was married to her.

621
00:39:15,647 --> 00:39:17,527
Oh my God, Iraq is amazing!

622
00:39:17,587 --> 00:39:18,587
Well, we're shooting in Iran.

623
00:39:18,697 --> 00:39:20,217
Iran with an N?

624
00:39:20,357 --> 00:39:21,877
Yeah.
We're very excited.

625
00:39:21,957 --> 00:39:23,357
You ever watch the news?

626
00:39:23,447 --> 00:39:25,357
What does the title refer to?

627
00:39:25,957 --> 00:39:27,357
The Argo!

628
00:39:27,497 --> 00:39:28,357
The thing…

629
00:39:28,757 --> 00:39:30,527
Like Jason and the
Golden Fleece, or what?

630
00:39:30,528 --> 00:39:33,359
No, no, it's the ship, it's the-
the spaceship, it goes…

631
00:39:33,462 --> 00:39:36,127
it goes everywhere, it goes all…

632
00:39:36,527 --> 00:39:38,127
…all throughout space.

633
00:39:38,277 --> 00:39:39,477
So it's the Argonaut?

634
00:39:40,217 --> 00:39:40,847
No.

635
00:39:41,047 --> 00:39:42,327
What- what does Argo mean?

636
00:39:42,417 --> 00:39:43,417
I don't know.

637
00:39:43,497 --> 00:39:44,477
You don't know?

638
00:39:44,697 --> 00:39:47,187
It means "Argo, fuck yourself"!

639
00:39:48,612 --> 00:39:51,327
Will you pay me every attention,
ladies and gentlemen?

640
00:39:51,563 --> 00:39:55,872
If our artists could settle in,
we'll just be ready to begin the reading.

641
00:39:56,970 --> 00:40:00,547
Argo. From Mary Ann Boyd.

642
00:40:01,118 --> 00:40:04,220
Begin on starship…

643
00:40:15,238 --> 00:40:18,427
<i>The people working here are not diplomats.</i>

644
00:40:18,517 --> 00:40:21,254
<i>In fact, as the Iman Khomeini said,</i>

645
00:40:21,348 --> 00:40:25,301
<i>they have found no evidence that proves
that these people are diplomats.</i>

646
00:40:25,330 --> 00:40:29,832
<i>All evidence proves that
these people are spies.</i>

647
00:40:30,177 --> 00:40:33,632
<i>In the name of God,
the beneficent, the merciful,</i>

648
00:40:33,686 --> 00:40:36,442
<i>our message to the waking
peoples of the world,</i>

649
00:40:36,703 --> 00:40:39,542
<i>at this time we want to expose
the hateful acts of United States…</i>

650
00:40:39,566 --> 00:40:41,386
Our world has changed,

651
00:40:42,357 --> 00:40:45,533
Fires of hope stopped burning
in this galaxy long ago.

652
00:40:45,582 --> 00:40:47,315
The ship is turning around.

653
00:40:47,352 --> 00:40:49,085
Fire the thrusters!

654
00:40:49,257 --> 00:40:52,183
He says a gravitational field
that strong will kill any…

655
00:40:52,223 --> 00:40:56,444
<i>.. completely unjustified.
They and all others must know</i>

656
00:40:56,445 --> 00:40:59,599
<i>that the United States
of America will not yield</i>

657
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,693
<i>to International Terrorism
or to blackmail.</i>

658
00:41:02,780 --> 00:41:04,769
Sir, we'll be crashed.

659
00:41:04,817 --> 00:41:07,107
There's no enough time to…
– <i>.. are controlled by capitalists,</i>

660
00:41:07,108 --> 00:41:08,723
<i>and large oil companies.</i>

661
00:41:08,978 --> 00:41:13,221
<i>The United States government considers
revolutionists as terrorists,</i>

662
00:41:13,347 --> 00:41:19,479
<i>but itself and its CIA are the most
terrorizing organization of all time.</i>

663
00:41:24,401 --> 00:41:27,468
We'll find her ship,
we will find our chance.

664
00:41:28,163 --> 00:41:30,098
For the Argo lies my hope,

665
00:41:30,363 --> 00:41:32,374
my hero, my husband.

666
00:41:32,424 --> 00:41:35,662
<i>.. We will begin the trials and
carry out the sentences.</i>

667
00:41:35,663 --> 00:41:39,411
<i>.. We wonder where and how this apparently
endless parade of hatred will end.</i>

668
00:41:40,304 --> 00:41:41,567
What do they want?

669
00:41:41,575 --> 00:41:44,304
<i>They say the question should
be not 'what', but 'who'.</i>

670
00:41:44,314 --> 00:41:47,537
<i>The answer to this question is clear,
they want the former Shah,</i>

671
00:41:47,581 --> 00:41:50,879
<i>.. They should be ashamed
to talk about human rights.</i>

672
00:41:50,939 --> 00:41:53,189
<i>Carter and his government
have given asylum</i>

673
00:41:53,197 --> 00:41:54,737
<i>to the worst criminal.
– .. in this compound,</i>

674
00:41:54,742 --> 00:41:56,032
<i>for what, for life?</i>

675
00:41:56,251 --> 00:41:59,972
<i>They will remain until
the Shah is returned.</i>

676
00:42:00,140 --> 00:42:03,354
<i>But if the exiled Shah,
now in the New York City hospital,</i>

677
00:42:03,608 --> 00:42:06,793
<i>leaves the United States
for any place other than Iran,</i>

678
00:42:06,843 --> 00:42:10,504
<i>harsher decisions will be taken
against the hostages.</i>

679
00:42:16,265 --> 00:42:18,024
.. We go outside of the ship now,

680
00:42:18,072 --> 00:42:20,216
holding on a single red flower

681
00:42:20,265 --> 00:42:24,134
as it goes to the ruins
of the starship in the desert,

682
00:42:24,169 --> 00:42:28,021
fade to Back. The end.

683
00:42:33,228 --> 00:42:35,664
Here it is. What did I tell you!

684
00:42:35,919 --> 00:42:38,757
First shot of the picture.

685
00:42:42,338 --> 00:42:43,509
"Argo, fuck yourself."

686
00:42:43,774 --> 00:42:45,568
Argo, fuck yourself.

687
00:43:23,179 --> 00:43:24,303
Brace yourself.

688
00:43:24,337 --> 00:43:27,441
It's like talking to those two
old fucks from The Muppets.

689
00:43:31,256 --> 00:43:32,970
Aliens and robots?

690
00:43:34,121 --> 00:43:34,938
Yes, sir.

691
00:43:35,947 --> 00:43:39,033
You're telling me that there is a movie
company in Hollywood right now,

692
00:43:39,413 --> 00:43:41,358
that is funded by the CIA?

693
00:43:41,856 --> 00:43:43,409
– Yes, sir.

694
00:43:44,421 --> 00:43:46,245
What's wrong with the bikes again?

695
00:43:46,246 --> 00:43:47,974
We tried to get the message upstairs, sir.

696
00:43:48,006 --> 00:43:50,989
You think… you think this is
more plausible than teachers?

697
00:43:51,015 --> 00:43:54,423
Yes, we do. One, there are no more
foreign teachers in Iran…

698
00:43:54,447 --> 00:43:56,571
And we think everybody
knows Hollywood people,

699
00:43:56,579 --> 00:43:58,586
and everybody knows they
ain't shootin' Stalingrad,

700
00:43:58,587 --> 00:44:00,570
with Bob Hope directing
if it would sell tickets.

701
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,597
There are only bad options,

702
00:44:04,111 --> 00:44:06,200
it's about finding the best one.

703
00:44:06,474 --> 00:44:08,562
You don't have a better
bad idea than this?

704
00:44:08,698 --> 00:44:11,468
This is the best bad idea we have, sir.

705
00:44:11,961 --> 00:44:13,081
By far.

706
00:44:21,041 --> 00:44:25,160
The United States Government has just
sanctioned your Science Fiction movie.

707
00:44:26,025 --> 00:44:27,956
Thank you, sir.

708
00:45:03,653 --> 00:45:09,344
I'm required to remind you that if you are
detained, the agency will not claim you.

709
00:45:10,265 --> 00:45:12,423
Barely claim me as it is.

710
00:45:13,558 --> 00:45:15,775
Is there any in case of obstacle?

711
00:45:15,873 --> 00:45:18,665
Just Christine.

712
00:45:20,804 --> 00:45:23,012
I should have brought some
books to read in prison.

713
00:45:23,161 --> 00:45:24,095
No.

714
00:45:24,503 --> 00:45:26,824
They'll kill you long before prison.

715
00:45:28,535 --> 00:45:30,422
– Thanks for the ride.
– Yeah.

716
00:45:40,134 --> 00:45:42,739
– Studio 6.
– We got a green light.

717
00:45:42,767 --> 00:45:45,042
Keep the office running
until you hear otherwise.

718
00:45:45,139 --> 00:45:48,165
– Argo fuck yourself.
– Argo fuck yourself.

719
00:46:06,028 --> 00:46:07,667
<i>Your attention please,</i>

720
00:46:07,769 --> 00:46:11,718
<i>this is the final calling for
British Airways flight 87.</i>

721
00:46:44,456 --> 00:46:47,324
We are a nation of 35 millions,

722
00:46:47,435 --> 00:46:52,056
and many of these people
are looking for to murder them.

723
00:46:54,350 --> 00:46:55,252
Hey.

724
00:46:55,519 --> 00:46:56,292
Hey.

725
00:46:57,833 --> 00:46:59,141
Come to bed.

726
00:47:00,066 --> 00:47:01,850
Another 5 minutes.

727
00:47:12,889 --> 00:47:15,286
She pleaded with me.

728
00:47:16,022 --> 00:47:18,985
When it started in the streets
nine months ago, she…

729
00:47:20,393 --> 00:47:23,002
she begged for us to leave.

730
00:47:23,885 --> 00:47:26,321
She packed our bags.

731
00:47:26,409 --> 00:47:30,007
I said, "just- just a little bit longer".

732
00:47:32,598 --> 00:47:35,813
And all I was thinking was…

733
00:47:36,729 --> 00:47:38,790
"stay…

734
00:47:39,157 --> 00:47:40,981
this is good for me.

735
00:47:42,291 --> 00:47:43,582
Stay.

736
00:47:46,897 --> 00:47:49,355
Show Newsom you got the balls".

737
00:47:54,348 --> 00:47:57,544
I can't believe I put Kathy
in this position.

738
00:48:05,743 --> 00:48:08,091
I think we're gonna die here.

739
00:48:57,522 --> 00:49:01,814
"Iran is a hundred percent not
in a pre-revolutionary state".

740
00:49:01,892 --> 00:49:05,088
CIA brief, November, 1st, 1979.

741
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,617
Can't be right all the time.

742
00:49:07,958 --> 00:49:09,295
Kevin?

743
00:49:09,312 --> 00:49:10,947
When did you get back?

744
00:49:11,918 --> 00:49:15,228
The Shah escaped on the 747
so laden with gold bars,

745
00:49:15,246 --> 00:49:17,583
that they didn't make it off the runway.

746
00:49:17,901 --> 00:49:19,236
But you kept busy.

747
00:49:19,338 --> 00:49:23,617
Fairing out the torture apparatus
of our friends fallen dictation.

748
00:49:24,426 --> 00:49:26,062
It's getting worse.

749
00:49:26,094 --> 00:49:29,649
Anyone that lands at Mehrabad
now fills in one of these.

750
00:49:30,357 --> 00:49:32,283
This strip makes a copy
to the one underneath,

751
00:49:32,334 --> 00:49:34,752
passenger keeps yellow,
airport keeps white,

752
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,309
when you leave the country,
they match them up

753
00:49:36,310 --> 00:49:38,602
to verify you came into the country
when you say you did.

754
00:49:38,638 --> 00:49:40,000
So if they look,

755
00:49:40,209 --> 00:49:42,747
they'll see I didn't come into
the country with six people.

756
00:49:43,223 --> 00:49:45,022
If they look.

757
00:49:47,263 --> 00:49:50,222
When you land, you should go straight
to the Ministry of Culture and…

758
00:49:50,541 --> 00:49:53,466
Islamic Guidance, kiss the ring.

759
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,157
Get on record as having
applied for film permit.

760
00:49:57,300 --> 00:50:01,074
If they catch you later, at least they'll
be confused while they're torturing you.

761
00:50:03,945 --> 00:50:07,803
IRANIAN CONSULATE - TURKEY

762
00:50:18,949 --> 00:50:21,370
What will be the purpose
of your visit to Iran?

763
00:50:21,425 --> 00:50:24,927
Uh… film production. Business.

764
00:50:26,915 --> 00:50:29,854
Why didn't you get your visa in Canada?

765
00:50:31,067 --> 00:50:34,779
Well, I would have loved to, except my
boss didn't send a telex until I got here.

766
00:50:35,460 --> 00:50:39,159
If the guy had an intelligent thought
in his head, it would die of loneliness.

767
00:50:59,904 --> 00:51:01,992
The Times and AP found out six escaped.

768
00:51:02,941 --> 00:51:05,962
They know who they are, and they know
they're hiding out with the Canadians.

769
00:51:06,479 --> 00:51:08,159
Somebody withdrew on the family's talk.

770
00:51:08,185 --> 00:51:09,365
Mother of God.

771
00:51:09,510 --> 00:51:12,366
Yeah I just put Vance on a plane to
take the head of eds to a circus,

772
00:51:12,388 --> 00:51:14,973
he thinks he can get him
to sit on it for now.

773
00:51:16,405 --> 00:51:18,479
You guy'd better get them.

774
00:51:18,837 --> 00:51:20,671
And get the hell out.

775
00:51:21,013 --> 00:51:24,426
The Captain has informed us
that we're entering Iranian airspace.

776
00:51:24,563 --> 00:51:28,293
We'll be coming through to collect
any remaining alcoholic beverages.

777
00:54:07,420 --> 00:54:09,720
This film crew is just yourself?

778
00:54:09,828 --> 00:54:12,505
No, we have six more from
Canada meeting us today.

779
00:54:12,641 --> 00:54:14,739
You'd like to film at the bazaar?

780
00:54:15,058 --> 00:54:17,519
The bazaar, maybe the palace.

781
00:54:17,767 --> 00:54:19,437
Landmark sites.

782
00:54:19,715 --> 00:54:21,050
I see.

783
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,000
The exotic orients.

784
00:54:24,388 --> 00:54:27,203
Snake charmers, flying carpets.

785
00:54:28,572 --> 00:54:31,173
You came to us at a complicated time.

786
00:54:31,730 --> 00:54:34,751
Before the revolution forty percent
of the movie theaters in Tehran

787
00:54:34,756 --> 00:54:36,533
were showing pornograph.

788
00:54:36,966 --> 00:54:38,220
I understand.

789
00:54:38,331 --> 00:54:41,342
The function of this
office is purification,

790
00:54:41,660 --> 00:54:44,720
as well as promotion for the arts.

791
00:54:46,189 --> 00:54:48,861
I'll review this for the Ministry.

792
00:54:50,163 --> 00:54:51,624
Thank you.

793
00:54:51,647 --> 00:54:53,702
– Salam.
– Salam.

794
00:54:59,608 --> 00:55:02,288
Lester, you're working late.

795
00:55:02,420 --> 00:55:04,265
Until the dawns early light.

796
00:55:04,585 --> 00:55:08,544
You got stamina, Lester. I wanna be you.

797
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,515
Well, I'm a hundred and fifty years
old, so you wouldn't be me for long.

798
00:55:21,349 --> 00:55:23,695
– Ambassador.
– Ken Taylor.

799
00:55:23,789 --> 00:55:25,650
Thank you for what you're doing.

800
00:55:25,986 --> 00:55:29,286
I was expecting more of a G-Man look.

801
00:55:29,792 --> 00:55:32,310
I think you're thinking of the FBI, sir.

802
00:55:32,603 --> 00:55:34,291
Ah. This way.

803
00:55:47,149 --> 00:55:49,404
These are blank- you know, stamps…

804
00:55:49,581 --> 00:55:51,666
Yeah, I'll take care of this.

805
00:55:52,839 --> 00:55:54,356
How long?

806
00:55:54,718 --> 00:55:57,215
A day to prep their covers…
two if they need it.

807
00:55:57,263 --> 00:55:58,920
And- and you'll fly out with them?

808
00:55:58,995 --> 00:56:00,369
Yeah.

809
00:56:00,884 --> 00:56:02,476
There's something you should know.

810
00:56:02,789 --> 00:56:05,882
We think our housekeeper's
figured out who they are.

811
00:56:06,542 --> 00:56:10,936
We don't know if we can trust her.
So, sooner is better.

812
00:57:00,831 --> 00:57:02,266
Hi.

813
00:57:02,355 --> 00:57:04,305
Hi. My name's Kevin Harkins…

814
00:57:05,335 --> 00:57:06,980
and I'm gonna get you home.

815
00:57:08,321 --> 00:57:11,224
These are the screenplays
for your cover identities.

816
00:57:12,756 --> 00:57:15,032
It's- it's theater of the absurd.

817
00:57:15,070 --> 00:57:16,508
What are our chances?

818
00:57:16,616 --> 00:57:17,991
Chances are good.

819
00:57:18,086 --> 00:57:21,233
Good? Well, what's the uh…
what's the number value of good?

820
00:57:21,283 --> 00:57:24,299
A thirty percent chance of
being publicly executed?

821
00:57:24,409 --> 00:57:27,557
Can you- can you tell me what the
objection was to normal cover identities?

822
00:57:27,625 --> 00:57:29,771
There are no Canadians in
the country for no reason.

823
00:57:29,852 --> 00:57:31,153
They'll sniff us out regardless.

824
00:57:31,187 --> 00:57:34,186
The Swedish Consul, they- they accused him
of being an American at the airport,

825
00:57:34,187 --> 00:57:35,375
they held him for an hour.

826
00:57:35,381 --> 00:57:38,430
We can't hold upon that, we don't know
what the hell movie people do.

827
00:57:38,431 --> 00:57:40,508
That's why I'm here.

828
00:57:40,550 --> 00:57:43,438
I'm gonna help you, I'm gonna be
with you the whole way. This is what I do.

829
00:57:44,393 --> 00:57:46,731
Have you gotten people
out this way before?

830
00:57:47,336 --> 00:57:49,520
This would be a first.

831
00:57:50,550 --> 00:57:53,615
Do you know that everyday they catch
another friend of the Shah at the airport?

832
00:57:53,641 --> 00:57:55,566
– Joe…
– Kangaroo trials, and-

833
00:57:55,575 --> 00:57:58,956
And then firing squads just for having
American names in their phone books.

834
00:57:59,411 --> 00:58:00,853
You've been here and hour,

835
00:58:01,110 --> 00:58:04,083
and- and you're asking us to trust
you with our lives, Mr…

836
00:58:04,165 --> 00:58:05,566
Harkins.

837
00:58:05,821 --> 00:58:07,848
That's your real name?

838
00:58:07,952 --> 00:58:09,227
No.

839
00:58:12,016 --> 00:58:15,854
I know there are risks involved.
Serious risks.

840
00:58:16,373 --> 00:58:19,350
But it is time to go.

841
00:58:20,412 --> 00:58:22,941
We've got orders to close
the embassy and go back.

842
00:58:23,061 --> 00:58:25,267
There's nowhere for them to stay.

843
00:58:25,974 --> 00:58:28,948
We will never make it through
immigration at the airport.

844
00:58:29,083 --> 00:58:30,598
I'm serious.

845
00:58:30,654 --> 00:58:34,334
I mean no, this is what? The part we say,
this is so crazy it might actually work?

846
00:58:34,342 --> 00:58:36,337
– Come on!
– I saw in Burma, they get people out.

847
00:58:36,345 --> 00:58:39,472
Snitches and Banana Republic, they get
them over the border after the coup,

848
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,747
pay the guards at the crossing a
hundred bucks to look the other way.

849
00:58:41,763 --> 00:58:43,882
You know, his opinion got us out
in the first place.

850
00:58:43,971 --> 00:58:47,865
If we go out there with fake passports,
we are spies, period, that's execution.

851
00:58:47,881 --> 00:58:49,201
You got a problem lying, Joe?

852
00:58:49,212 --> 00:58:51,161
But the point is, we can't stay here!

853
00:58:51,449 --> 00:58:54,827
If we get caught, you and Pat go on trial
for harboring the enemy, you know that.

854
00:58:54,990 --> 00:58:57,935
Pat and I have discussed this,
it's the risk we took.

855
00:58:58,705 --> 00:59:01,710
That man out there has got bad
cards and he is going to lose,

856
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,700
and if he loses… it's our lives.

857
00:59:06,086 --> 00:59:09,064
And his life too.

858
00:59:09,267 --> 00:59:11,949
Look, we don't have any alternatives.

859
00:59:12,074 --> 00:59:14,345
We gotta go.

860
00:59:19,409 --> 00:59:22,955
These cover identities were created
specifically for each one of you.

861
00:59:23,230 --> 00:59:25,763
What you need to do is memorize
everything that's inside.

862
00:59:25,889 --> 00:59:29,961
Who you are, what you are, where you've
been, complete bio. And then add to that:

863
00:59:30,254 --> 00:59:33,485
where do you vacation, what are you
allergies, who'd you have an affair with.

864
00:59:33,748 --> 00:59:34,999
The only way this works,

865
00:59:35,125 --> 00:59:38,555
is if you believe that you're these people
so much that you're dream like them.

866
00:59:39,823 --> 00:59:41,974
Get started tonight.

867
00:59:42,011 --> 00:59:44,990
I'll be back tomorrow. We'll get going.
Good luck.

868
00:59:50,695 --> 00:59:52,630
Wow, my guy kind of sucks.

869
00:59:52,727 --> 00:59:54,242
What's your name?

870
00:59:54,637 --> 00:59:57,325
Mike McEwan A.

871
00:59:57,751 --> 00:59:59,071
Sounds convincing.

872
00:59:59,099 --> 01:00:01,190
Kathy, what's your name?

873
01:00:28,876 --> 01:00:31,861
<i>The Loveboat will be seeing
fifteen minutes from now.</i>

874
01:00:33,312 --> 01:00:35,799
<i>.. insisted that the crisis in Afghanistan</i>

875
01:00:35,810 --> 01:00:39,643
<i>will not divert the attention of the United
States from the plight of the hostages.</i>

876
01:00:39,677 --> 01:00:42,905
<i>.. he seems to be if not impotent,
but at least reluctant…</i>

877
01:00:43,095 --> 01:00:46,529
<i>The United States finds itself
in such bitter confrontation</i>

878
01:00:46,537 --> 01:00:50,661
<i>with the Soviet Union over that
country's invasion of Afghanistan…</i>

879
01:00:50,968 --> 01:00:53,392
<i>The United States is now
moving towards the decision</i>

880
01:00:53,393 --> 01:00:55,894
<i>to boycott the summer
Olympics in Moscow.</i>

881
01:00:56,848 --> 01:01:00,619
Bad new, bad news. Even when
it's good news, it's bad news.

882
01:01:00,685 --> 01:01:04,336
John Wayne's in the ground six months,
this is what's left of America.

883
01:01:32,707 --> 01:01:34,976
The Minister of Culture and Guidance

884
01:01:34,977 --> 01:01:36,508
has approved your location scout.

885
01:01:36,543 --> 01:01:38,037
He will send his representative

886
01:01:38,038 --> 01:01:41,578
to meet you and your crew at the
Grand Bazaar tomorrow at 3 P.M.

887
01:01:42,505 --> 01:01:44,341
They called your bluff.

888
01:01:44,687 --> 01:01:47,165
– Maybe they're cooperating.
– Absolutely not.

889
01:01:47,331 --> 01:01:52,004
Seven Americans walking the bazaar
is asking for a riot, it's the hive.

890
01:01:52,274 --> 01:01:53,632
Seven Canadians, Jack.

891
01:01:53,674 --> 01:01:57,018
Never give them opening shots at a cover.

892
01:01:57,657 --> 01:02:00,315
– Are they even ready?
– They're getting there.

893
01:02:00,552 --> 01:02:02,534
There's no prize for most improvements.

894
01:02:02,559 --> 01:02:03,456
I don't have a choice.

895
01:02:03,464 --> 01:02:06,558
We say no, they show up at their residence
and drag everyone out at gun point.

896
01:02:06,581 --> 01:02:08,423
How well do you think their
covers are gonna hold up

897
01:02:08,424 --> 01:02:10,393
when they're getting their
fingernails pulled out?

898
01:02:30,159 --> 01:02:34,364
You want us to go the Grand Bazaar
at three o'clock in the afternoon?

899
01:02:34,921 --> 01:02:37,641
You said a day learning our cover
then straight to the airport.

900
01:02:37,752 --> 01:02:39,045
– Do they suspect something?

901
01:02:39,468 --> 01:02:42,728
What I know is we need to
pretend to be a movie crew.

902
01:02:42,820 --> 01:02:46,870
We go to the bazaar today, we
fly from the airport tomorrow.

903
01:02:48,289 --> 01:02:50,110
We won't do it.

904
01:02:51,554 --> 01:02:54,567
He told them that there are six of
us, so then they're expecting six,

905
01:02:54,585 --> 01:02:56,147
it would be suspicious not
to show up at this point.

906
01:02:56,176 --> 01:02:58,088
Goddammit, guys! What else
do we have to do?!

907
01:02:58,419 --> 01:02:59,916
Alright? What el- what-
what's the alternative?!

908
01:02:59,924 --> 01:03:01,666
We don't have to show them
the only cards we're holding,

909
01:03:01,667 --> 01:03:02,964
which is that they
don't know we're here!

910
01:03:02,972 --> 01:03:05,406
I get it! That's the ball game,
okay, we- you know,

911
01:03:05,453 --> 01:03:08,024
Look, we don't have any other…
other choice! What are we gonna do?!

912
01:03:08,029 --> 01:03:10,660
Who says that we'll know
our covers well enough?

913
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,222
We're no in the CIA!

914
01:03:13,341 --> 01:03:14,704
It's suicide.

915
01:03:15,032 --> 01:03:17,251
I'm asking you to trust me.

916
01:03:18,443 --> 01:03:20,982
I don't trust you.

917
01:03:22,270 --> 01:03:23,726
This is the game, Joe.

918
01:03:23,827 --> 01:03:24,964
What world are you living in?

919
01:03:25,060 --> 01:03:26,039
What world am I…?

920
01:03:26,058 --> 01:03:28,881
The one where they're hanging people
from construction cranes, Bob!

921
01:03:28,882 --> 01:03:30,231
It's too dangerous,

922
01:03:30,270 --> 01:03:32,830
– I don't want to bring my wife into this.
– Joe, can you stop?

923
01:03:33,910 --> 01:03:35,450
Joe?

924
01:03:41,733 --> 01:03:43,650
So, we'll see you at two.

925
01:04:06,738 --> 01:04:12,074
So, don't be recognizable, but look
exactly like your passport photo.

926
01:04:13,014 --> 01:04:15,648
I haven't been this nervous
since our wedding.

927
01:04:17,220 --> 01:04:20,101
Only this isn't a huge mistake, hopefully.

928
01:04:20,495 --> 01:04:23,103
Like this… Okay.

929
01:04:25,357 --> 01:04:26,905
Hello?

930
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,064
Hello?

931
01:04:31,717 --> 01:04:33,465
Hello?

932
01:04:39,626 --> 01:04:41,237
Who was that?

933
01:04:44,322 --> 01:04:46,256
– Mark?
– Yeah?

934
01:04:48,122 --> 01:04:49,732
I'm scared.

935
01:04:52,150 --> 01:04:54,187
It's okay.

936
01:05:40,946 --> 01:05:42,291
Where are they?

937
01:05:42,537 --> 01:05:44,418
In the kitchen.

938
01:06:00,812 --> 01:06:02,791
This is what I do…

939
01:06:02,818 --> 01:06:04,506
I get people out…

940
01:06:05,904 --> 01:06:08,173
and I've never left anyone behind.

941
01:06:10,382 --> 01:06:13,134
I wish I could believe you, Mr. Harkins.

942
01:06:17,867 --> 01:06:19,928

944
01:06:24,153 --> 01:06:26,764

945
01:06:29,182 --> 01:06:33,196
You play along with me today, I promise
you I will get you out tomorrow.

946
01:06:38,318 --> 01:06:39,723
Fuck.

947
01:07:49,341 --> 01:07:50,736
Hang on.

948
01:08:39,176 --> 01:08:40,996
You alright?

949
01:08:45,666 --> 01:08:48,101
Okay, tell me who you are?

950
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,885
Mike McEwan, cameraman.

951
01:08:51,215 --> 01:08:53,707
Robert Baker, director.

952

01:08:58,798 --> 01:09:00,707

Sean Bissett, associate producer.

956
01:09:02,687 --> 01:09:05,427
Alright, let's go make the movie.

957
01:09:18,019 --> 01:09:20,187
Welcome, welcome,
my name is Reza Borhani.

958
01:09:20,213 --> 01:09:21,569
Kevin Harkins, I'm the producer.

959
01:09:21,641 --> 01:09:24,504
– Nice to meet you.
– This is Mike McEwan, our cameraman,

960
01:09:24,519 --> 01:09:26,956
this is Tim, this is Mary,
our screenwriter,

961
01:09:26,964 --> 01:09:28,560
and this is our director, Bob Baker.

962
01:09:28,561 --> 01:09:30,049
– You are the director?
– Yes.

963
01:09:30,695 --> 01:09:33,063
Is this film a foreign brides film?

964
01:09:33,940 --> 01:09:35,372
I'm sorry?

965
01:09:35,443 --> 01:09:38,972
A film where a foreign bride
comes to Iran, but uh…

966
01:09:39,051 --> 01:09:42,295
she doesn't understand the
language or the customs,

967
01:09:42,337 --> 01:09:44,747
and there is misunderstandings and laughs?

968
01:09:44,803 --> 01:09:46,444
Oh, no.

969
01:09:51,204 --> 01:09:55,796
The bazaar in Tehran is one
of the largest in the world.

970
01:09:55,891 --> 01:09:57,554
[Farsi] Izar, salam, choukran.

971
01:09:57,599 --> 01:10:01,874
This Bazaar has been on this spot
for over 8000 years.

972
01:10:01,914 --> 01:10:07,416
You can find many items such as
paper, spices, precious metals,

973
01:10:07,538 --> 01:10:10,410
All, right here.
Uh, right this way.

974
01:10:10,443 --> 01:10:12,244
[Farsi]

975
01:10:15,323 --> 01:10:16,800
This way.

976
01:10:31,785 --> 01:10:33,330
– Uh, Mike?
– Yeah.

977
01:10:33,558 --> 01:10:35,124
If I was to say that you're looking
through the wrong end

978
01:10:35,132 --> 01:10:37,375
of that view finder, would I be right?

979
01:10:39,855 --> 01:10:41,271
Yeah.

980
01:10:48,748 --> 01:10:50,465
Just a little bit now.

981
01:11:00,588 --> 01:11:02,253
[Farsi]

982
01:11:02,436 --> 01:11:04,451
[Farsi]

983
01:11:19,465 --> 01:11:22,526
Please wait here, let's uh, stay together.

984
01:11:39,715 --> 01:11:41,507
He wants to know the
photograph you took…

985
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:44,445
It's okay, it's her job to take
photographs. Production design.

986
01:11:44,851 --> 01:11:47,994
He says, he did not give you permission
to take photograph of his store.

987
01:11:48,099 --> 01:11:50,096
Well that's okay, you can
tell him he can have it.

988
01:11:53,038 --> 01:11:55,329
Please, please take that photograph.

989
01:12:25,171 --> 01:12:28,473
He's saying that the Shah killed
his son with an American gun.

990
01:12:38,729 --> 01:12:41,353
No! Canada! Cana- Canada!

991
01:12:41,441 --> 01:12:44,281
Ι'd lіkе tо ѕuggеѕt thаt
wе аrе еndіng thіѕ vіѕіt!

992
01:12:47,481 --> 01:12:49,096
Let's go off this now!

993
01:14:11,916 --> 01:14:13,329
How did it go?

994
01:14:14,866 --> 01:14:17,434
What about tomorrow?

995
01:14:17,690 --> 01:14:20,174
Tomorrow they'll be ready.

996
01:14:41,123 --> 01:14:45,843
A man in Scranton is placing a flag
in his lawn for every day of captivity.

997
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,699
He runs out of lawn,
Kennedy wins the primary.

998
01:14:49,789 --> 01:14:52,589
The six with the Canadians are coming out.

999
01:15:03,422 --> 01:15:05,039
Who signed off on this?

1000
01:15:05,127 --> 01:15:07,061
You! Where was your passport issued?

1001
01:15:07,152 --> 01:15:08,609
– Vancouver.
– Where were you born?

1002
01:15:08,660 --> 01:15:10,026
– Toronto
– "Torono".

1003
01:15:10,050 --> 01:15:11,347
Canadians don't pronounce the T.

1004
01:15:11,391 --> 01:15:13,967
Some Komiteh guard is
actually gonna know that?

1005
01:15:14,103 --> 01:15:17,681
If you're detained for questioning they
will bring out someone who knows that, yes.

1006
01:15:18,034 --> 01:15:21,594
Mary, who were the last three
Prime Ministers to Canada?

1007
01:15:21,815 --> 01:15:24,236
Uh… Trudeau, Pearson and Diefenbaker.

1008
01:15:24,299 --> 01:15:26,331
– What's your father's name?
– Howard.

1009
01:15:26,416 --> 01:15:28,070
– What's his occupation?
– Fisherman.

1010
01:15:28,157 --> 01:15:30,560
– Where were you born?
– Halifax, Nova Scotia.

1011
01:15:30,590 --> 01:15:32,072
What's your date of birth?

1012
01:15:32,345 --> 01:15:34,786
February 21st, 1952.

1013
01:15:34,865 --> 01:15:36,521
Good. What's your job on the movie?
– Producer.

1014
01:15:36,529 --> 01:15:38,712
Associate producer. What was
the last movie you produced?

1015
01:15:38,910 --> 01:15:40,587
– "High and Dry".
– Who paid for that?

1016
01:15:40,701 --> 01:15:42,135
– CFDC.
– What's your middle name?

1017
01:15:42,299 --> 01:15:44,278
What's your middle name?
What's your middle name?

1018
01:15:44,297 --> 01:15:46,264
– Leon…-
– Shoot him! He's an American spy.

1019
01:15:47,650 --> 01:15:49,949
Look, they're gonna try
and break you. Okay?

1020
01:15:49,990 --> 01:15:51,481
By trying to get you agitated.

1021
01:15:51,530 --> 01:15:53,411
You have to know your
resume back to front.

1022
01:15:53,441 --> 01:15:55,663
Do you really believe your little
story's gonna make a difference

1023
01:15:55,676 --> 01:15:58,054
when there's a gun to our heads?

1024
01:15:59,025 --> 01:16:02,554
I think my story is the only thing
between you and a gun to your head.

1025
01:16:04,516 --> 01:16:05,939
That's right.

1026
01:16:11,709 --> 01:16:14,756
Hey. They made it through
the location scout.

1027
01:16:26,808 --> 01:16:28,947
You have a call.

1028
01:16:39,453 --> 01:16:42,698
– What is it?
– Go to black on green.

1029
01:16:44,166 --> 01:16:45,561
Go.

1030
01:16:45,612 --> 01:16:47,290
– It all just changed.
– What?

1031
01:16:47,345 --> 01:16:49,152
They're calling it again,
you gotta come back.

1032
01:16:49,267 --> 01:16:50,675
– What?
– Flight Chiefs are planning

1033
01:16:50,690 --> 01:16:52,841
a military rescue of the hostages,

1034
01:16:52,864 --> 01:16:56,380
Delta Force started training
to storm the grounds. So,

1035
01:16:56,423 --> 01:16:59,127
if the six of them are brought down there,

1036
01:16:59,194 --> 01:17:01,252
they won't be held for long.

1037
01:17:02,245 --> 01:17:05,838
Goddammit! I never would have exposed them
if I wasn't authorized to get them out!

1038
01:17:05,878 --> 01:17:08,556
– It's over, Tony.
– If they stay here, they will be taken.

1039
01:17:08,654 --> 01:17:11,435
– Probably not alive.
– Listen to me!

1040
01:17:11,628 --> 01:17:13,263
The thinking has changed.

1041
01:17:13,432 --> 01:17:16,645
Six Americans get pulled out of
the Canadian diplomat's house

1042
01:17:16,657 --> 01:17:19,161
and executed, it's a world outrage.

1043
01:17:19,661 --> 01:17:22,925
Six Americans get caught
playing movie make-believe

1044
01:17:22,934 --> 01:17:25,384
with the CIA at the airport and executed,

1045
01:17:25,547 --> 01:17:30,341
it's a national embarrassment.
They are calling the operation.

1046
01:17:32,820 --> 01:17:35,385
We're responsible for these people.

1047
01:17:36,213 --> 01:17:39,795
What we are is required to follow orders.

1048
01:17:40,011 --> 01:17:41,517
I'm sorry.

1049
01:17:59,123 --> 01:18:00,669
Come in.

1050
01:18:01,549 --> 01:18:04,508
We're ready to try again.

1051
01:18:05,411 --> 01:18:06,867
You're ready.

1052
01:18:07,033 --> 01:18:08,961
You worked hard.

1053
01:18:09,421 --> 01:18:12,927
Probably the best thing to do
for you right now would be…

1054
01:18:13,094 --> 01:18:14,913
just to relax.

1055
01:18:15,438 --> 01:18:16,873
Okay.

1056
01:18:17,147 --> 01:18:18,650
You did good.

1057
01:18:19,404 --> 01:18:20,911
Thanks.

1058
01:18:47,079 --> 01:18:49,998
So you know.

1059
01:18:50,092 --> 01:18:54,274
Exfil wants you to burn the
passports before you leave.

1060
01:18:55,940 --> 01:18:57,813
If you tell them now, they'll panic.

1061
01:18:57,832 --> 01:19:00,331
I think it's best if you just don't show.

1062
01:19:02,469 --> 01:19:05,047
It was always a fucked mission.

1063
01:19:05,521 --> 01:19:08,284
You came closer than anybody else.

1064
01:21:36,899 --> 01:21:38,087
It's off…

1065
01:21:38,100 --> 01:21:40,220
they want us to pack up the office.

1066
01:21:42,833 --> 01:21:46,038
This can wait. Let's go get a drink.

1067
01:22:10,094 --> 01:22:12,125
He's late.

1068
01:22:25,764 --> 01:22:26,715
O'Donnell.

1069
01:22:26,762 --> 01:22:29,746
Somebody's responsible
when things happen, Jack.

1070
01:22:30,693 --> 01:22:32,096
I'm responsible.

1071
01:22:32,474 --> 01:22:34,040
I'm taking them through.

1072
01:22:34,291 --> 01:22:35,929
Tony?

1073
01:22:44,989 --> 01:22:46,677
Alan! Alan,

1074
01:22:46,703 --> 01:22:49,471
we need to confirm those seven
tickets out of Tehran on Swissair.

1075
01:22:49,487 --> 01:22:50,691
Engell shut that down.

1076
01:22:50,737 --> 01:22:52,181
I say it's back on!

1077
01:22:52,236 --> 01:22:54,445
– I can't do it, it's back stopped!
– Wait wait, wait a minute!

1078
01:22:54,985 --> 01:22:56,532
What the hell are you talking
about, back stopped,

1079
01:22:56,540 --> 01:22:57,913
what the hell does that mean?

1080
01:22:57,957 --> 01:23:00,719
Carter's gotta say yes
for us to get the tickets.

1081
01:23:10,794 --> 01:23:12,194
Time to go.

1082
01:23:22,602 --> 01:23:24,036
Alright.

1083
01:23:25,002 --> 01:23:27,687
– Where's Engell?
– Uh, he's in a meeting.

1084
01:23:27,809 --> 01:23:29,631
Pull him out.

1085
01:23:30,955 --> 01:23:32,127
Pull him out!

1086
01:23:34,515 --> 01:23:36,403
Thank you. See you soon.

1087
01:23:36,413 --> 01:23:37,817
Sahar's on the bus.

1088
01:23:37,923 --> 01:23:39,993
– Great.
– Sahar will be fine.

1089
01:23:40,041 --> 01:23:42,215
– Thank you.
– Thank you!

1090
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:43,616
You two leave right now.

1091
01:23:43,648 --> 01:23:45,443
We'll leave on the train in half an hour.

1092
01:23:45,483 --> 01:23:46,903
Good.

1093
01:23:50,399 --> 01:23:51,842
And he said no.

1094
01:23:51,875 --> 01:23:53,969
This is not a long leisure
and it never has been,

1095
01:23:53,993 --> 01:23:55,826
and you don't decide if it goes!

1096
01:23:56,245 --> 01:23:57,925
It is going!

1097
01:23:58,124 --> 01:24:00,106
Jack. You are this close.

1098
01:24:00,133 --> 01:24:01,891
Am I? Am I really that close?

1099
01:24:01,938 --> 01:24:03,360
You are this Goddamn close to-

1100
01:24:03,387 --> 01:24:07,691
I am not gonna leave him at the airport
with six people and his dick in his hand.

1101
01:24:07,780 --> 01:24:09,824
You tell the director
to call the White House!

1102
01:24:09,884 --> 01:24:11,646
Do your fucking job!

1103
01:24:19,916 --> 01:24:22,774
– Get to your plane, Claude
– Oui monsieur.

1104
01:24:28,276 --> 01:24:32,019
First time anyone's gonna ask you
a question is at the first check point.

1105
01:24:32,219 --> 01:24:35,020
The first check point is just to
get a look at your passports.

1106
01:24:35,351 --> 01:24:38,167
Passports came straight from
Ottawa last week. They're clean.

1107
01:24:39,101 --> 01:24:41,231
You're gonna find White
House Chief of Staff!

1108
01:24:41,314 --> 01:24:42,577
How would I find him?

1109
01:24:42,705 --> 01:24:45,772
We're a fucking spy agency! Find him!

1110
01:24:46,308 --> 01:24:49,522
The second check point is immigration.

1111
01:24:49,877 --> 01:24:51,660
You're each gonna hand them one of these.

1112
01:24:51,745 --> 01:24:54,676
It says that you landed in
the country two days ago.

1113
01:24:54,782 --> 01:24:57,714
They'll look for the matching
white one, which doesn't exist.

1114
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,224
You'll say you don't know what happened…

1115
01:25:00,250 --> 01:25:02,656
and if you believe they
lost they white set,

1116
01:25:02,923 --> 01:25:04,447
they'll believe it too.

1117
01:25:04,790 --> 01:25:08,345
Jordan's in the West Wing,
he's not taking calls.

1118
01:25:09,717 --> 01:25:11,282
Where are his kids?

1119
01:25:11,373 --> 01:25:12,516
What?

1120
01:25:12,595 --> 01:25:15,073
Where do his kids go to school?

1121
01:25:21,348 --> 01:25:22,750
Thank you, thank you.

1122
01:25:22,832 --> 01:25:25,677
Pace Academy, Buckhead, Georgia.

1123
01:25:28,594 --> 01:25:29,742
White House.

1124
01:25:29,847 --> 01:25:33,996
Yes, this is Mr. Murphy from Pace
Academy calling for Mr. Jordan.

1125
01:25:34,543 --> 01:25:36,933
Yeah, I'm afraid it is an emergency.

1126
01:25:37,159 --> 01:25:39,811
Hold for the Chief of Staff's Office.

1127
01:25:39,962 --> 01:25:41,956
The third check point is the trap.

1128
01:25:42,076 --> 01:25:44,000
It's manned by the Revolutionary Guard,

1129
01:25:44,063 --> 01:25:47,089
most of them were educated
in the U.S and Europe…

1130
01:25:47,255 --> 01:25:50,229
and all of them are looking for Americans.

1131
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:04,091
– Hello?
– Jack O'Donnell from CI-

1132
01:26:04,123 --> 01:26:05,162
– Wait, wait! Who?

1133
01:26:05,234 --> 01:26:07,291
Iran Guesthouse operation is ready now,

1134
01:26:07,301 --> 01:26:08,989
if we don't have the President's go ahead,

1135
01:26:08,999 --> 01:26:10,530
they are going to be captured.

1136
01:26:11,417 --> 01:26:13,104
David, pick up!

1137
01:26:30,225 --> 01:26:32,828
Zurich, it's under Harkins.

1138
01:26:40,833 --> 01:26:44,230
I'm sorry sir, I don't see
you'd have these reservations.

1139
01:26:47,025 --> 01:26:48,865
Telex for Flash!

1140
01:26:49,703 --> 01:26:53,789
Would you mind checking again, please?

1141
01:27:00,528 --> 01:27:03,847
Copy D.S., confirm the tickets, go!

1142
01:27:16,752 --> 01:27:19,274
My apologies, they just came through.

1143
01:27:26,122 --> 01:27:27,828
Swisair says they picked up the tickets.

1144
01:27:27,847 --> 01:27:30,314
Get the L.A. office, tell them
to be ready, in case they call.

1145
01:27:30,396 --> 01:27:32,966
We told them to shut that down.

1146
01:28:04,147 --> 01:28:05,651
There you go.

1147
01:28:22,390 --> 01:28:24,210
Not here.

1148
01:29:26,944 --> 01:29:29,121
When did you come through Iran?

1149
01:29:29,319 --> 01:29:30,934
Two days ago.

1150
01:29:31,111 --> 01:29:33,160
What was the purpose of your visit?

1151
01:29:33,792 --> 01:29:37,118
We are looking for locations for a film.

1152
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:45,199
– We have a….
– Oh, yeah,

1153
01:29:45,272 --> 01:29:49,444
I've got a letter from
the Ministry of Culture.

1154
01:29:50,161 --> 01:29:52,428
If you want to look at that.

1155
01:30:14,223 --> 01:30:15,721
You can go.

1156
01:30:24,511 --> 01:30:25,944
Come on, come on.

1157
01:30:50,456 --> 01:30:51,771
Passports.

1158
01:30:51,871 --> 01:30:53,661
No passports, no plane.

1159
01:30:57,493 --> 01:30:59,031
Passports.

1160
01:31:03,934 --> 01:31:05,546
Passports.

1161
01:31:14,828 --> 01:31:16,175
[Farsi]

1162
01:31:48,347 --> 01:31:49,649
We're together yes, uh-

1163
01:31:53,688 --> 01:31:56,051
Pierson's telling Swissair
they're not on the plane.

1164
01:31:56,083 --> 01:31:57,409
They should have boarded already.

1165
01:31:57,445 --> 01:31:59,321
Still no answer in L.A.

1166
01:32:24,084 --> 01:32:25,074
Sir.

1167
01:33:06,003 --> 01:33:08,432
N-No, I'm… I'm now a writer, and uh…

1168
01:33:09,637 --> 01:33:11,695
Kevin, give me the storyboards.

1169
01:34:02,333 --> 01:34:05,722
You don't go until we verify.

1170
01:34:08,834 --> 01:34:11,252
– I understand.
– Sir…

1171
01:34:11,698 --> 01:34:13,483
Call our office.

1172
01:34:13,601 --> 01:34:15,245
They'll verify.

1173
01:34:40,075 --> 01:34:42,009
.. It goes all the way
throughout the thirties.

1174
01:34:42,041 --> 01:34:42,812
Hold on pal, we're shooting.

1175
01:34:42,813 --> 01:34:44,189
We're just going to the
producer's building.

1176
01:34:44,228 --> 01:34:46,673
Yeah I understand, I understand
but we're shooting.

1177
01:35:20,795 --> 01:35:25,445
<i>Swissair announces final boarding
to flight 3-6-3 to Zurich.</i>

1178
01:35:32,630 --> 01:35:34,450
Recess, back to one!

1179
01:35:34,953 --> 01:35:36,682
– Alright, recess.
– We going again!

1180
01:35:37,055 --> 01:35:40,007
Again, everyone!
And… we're rolling!

1181
01:35:40,037 --> 01:35:42,856
– We're going to the producer's building.
– Sorry, we're rolling

1182
01:36:18,750 --> 01:36:21,556
Sorry pal, we're gonna be in the movie.
Call my agency.

1183
01:36:21,591 --> 01:36:23,107
Sir!

1184
01:36:35,208 --> 01:36:37,678
Studio 6 Productions.

1185
01:36:37,784 --> 01:36:40,290
May I speak to a Mr. Kevin Harkins?

1186
01:36:40,421 --> 01:36:43,704
I'm sorry, Mr. Harkins is out of
country on a location scout.

1187
01:36:43,712 --> 01:36:45,473
May I take a message?

1188
01:37:02,196 --> 01:37:05,710
Doors are closing for
flight 3-6-3 to Zurich.

1189
01:37:14,397 --> 01:37:16,500
– We can go.
– Excellent.

1190
01:37:24,146 --> 01:37:27,481
You can these. It's a gift.

1191
01:37:39,853 --> 01:37:42,661
[Farsi] Wait a moment.
Others are coming.

1192
01:39:59,157 --> 01:40:02,612
Swissair 3-6-3, clearance for taxi.

1193
01:40:04,532 --> 01:40:09,067
Swissair 3-6-3, you are
number two for departure.

1194
01:40:57,006 --> 01:41:00,240
Swissair 3-6-3, you are
cleared for take off.

1195
01:41:03,788 --> 01:41:06,432
Swissair 3-6-3,
clear for take off.

1196
01:42:11,381 --> 01:42:14,729
– We got wheels up!
– Wait.

1197
01:42:29,377 --> 01:42:31,696
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is our pleasure to announce

1198
01:42:31,707 --> 01:42:33,777
that alcoholic beverages
are now available

1199
01:42:33,780 --> 01:42:36,392
as we have cleared Iranian airspace.

1200
01:43:24,609 --> 01:43:25,979
They're clear.

1201
01:43:26,699 --> 01:43:28,646
Yes! Yes!

1202
01:43:33,143 --> 01:43:34,731
They're out!

1203
01:43:35,354 --> 01:43:37,121
They're out. They're out!

1204
01:43:37,137 --> 01:43:38,957
Yes! We got them out!

1205
01:43:41,585 --> 01:43:43,296
They're out!

1206
01:43:49,202 --> 01:43:51,369
Great work, boys.

1207
01:43:51,457 --> 01:43:53,128
We've managed!

1208
01:44:03,618 --> 01:44:06,926
You are admitted to the republic of Iraq.

1209
01:44:52,145 --> 01:44:54,254
We made history today.

1210
01:44:55,087 --> 01:44:58,529
" History starts out as farce
and ends up as tragedy".

1211
01:44:58,973 --> 01:45:00,870
Or it's the other way around.

1212
01:45:01,130 --> 01:45:02,334
And who said it?

1213
01:45:02,500 --> 01:45:03,953
Marx.

1214
01:45:04,663 --> 01:45:07,768
Groucho said that?

1215
01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:13,262
Called 'The Times' to nail
it to the Goddamn door.

1216
01:45:13,305 --> 01:45:14,662
CIA are the good guys.

1217
01:45:14,674 --> 01:45:16,570
The Canadians are the good guys

1218
01:45:16,874 --> 01:45:19,126
And if we're not agreeing, them too.

1219
01:45:19,168 --> 01:45:23,523
Only. Canada takes the credit, or
they'll retaliate against the hostages.

1220
01:45:24,578 --> 01:45:26,474
Great Satan wasn't involved.

1221
01:45:27,249 --> 01:45:29,300
No CIA.

1222
01:45:29,391 --> 01:45:31,417
Is that right, Jack?

1223
01:45:33,184 --> 01:45:35,095
Involved in what?

1224
01:45:35,762 --> 01:45:38,972
We were surprised as anybody.

1225
01:45:41,213 --> 01:45:43,072
Thank you, Canada.

1226
01:45:43,214 --> 01:45:45,742
<i>We knew that each day
that they stayed there,</i>

1227
01:45:45,743 --> 01:45:48,082
<i>the danger was becoming greater.</i>

1228
01:45:48,178 --> 01:45:52,128
<i>We had been looking for a solution to have
them to leave the country during the past-</i>

1229
01:45:52,155 --> 01:45:55,533
<i>.. Day 87, and finally a sliver
of really good news…</i>

1230
01:45:55,605 --> 01:45:58,092
.. American department of State
hereby honors

1231
01:45:58,691 --> 01:46:00,347
Joe Stafford…

1232
01:46:00,956 --> 01:46:02,363
Kathy Stafford…

1233
01:46:03,894 --> 01:46:05,495
Mark Lijek…

1234
01:46:06,425 --> 01:46:09,233
The Americans will be forever grateful

1235
01:46:09,286 --> 01:46:11,474
to our great and ally to the North,

1236
01:46:11,486 --> 01:46:14,110
for the protection and safe passage,

1237
01:46:14,208 --> 01:46:15,895
provided to our diplomats.

1238
01:46:16,007 --> 01:46:17,261
– Bob Anders…

1239
01:46:17,651 --> 01:46:20,068
Here or anywhere in the world…

1240
01:46:20,164 --> 01:46:22,036
Canada will pay…

1241
01:46:23,435 --> 01:46:27,299
for this violation of the
sovereignty of Iran.

1242
01:46:27,424 --> 01:46:31,953
.. ambassador Ken Taylor
and the great nation of Canada.

1243
01:46:35,700 --> 01:46:37,964
So I'm sitting in Jerry's this morning,

1244
01:46:38,083 --> 01:46:39,718
I'm having breakfast.
Waitress comes over to me,

1245
01:46:39,786 --> 01:46:41,591
she's waving a newspaper, she says:

1246
01:46:41,641 --> 01:46:43,429
'You see what those Canadians pulled off?

1247
01:46:43,565 --> 01:46:45,675
Why can't we do something like that?"

1248
01:46:45,804 --> 01:46:47,998
I said to her, do you know what I said?

1249
01:46:48,181 --> 01:46:49,580
No, what?

1250
01:46:49,736 --> 01:46:52,368
"Argo, fuck yourself!"

1251
01:47:20,337 --> 01:47:21,858
All set.

1252
01:47:22,176 --> 01:47:23,996
Thanks a lot.

1253
01:47:37,956 --> 01:47:40,717
And I left my autograph book at home.

1254
01:47:46,002 --> 01:47:49,336
His eminence called me.
He wants to see you.

1255
01:47:49,593 --> 01:47:52,123
Probably wants to fire me himself.

1256
01:47:52,499 --> 01:47:55,691
He wants to give you
the Intelligence Star.

1257
01:47:55,973 --> 01:47:57,804
You're getting the highest award of merit

1258
01:47:57,807 --> 01:48:01,487
of the clandestine services
of these United States.

1259
01:48:02,297 --> 01:48:04,219
Ceremony's on the fourteenth.

1260
01:48:04,562 --> 01:48:08,321
If they push it a week I can bring
Ian, that's his winter break.

1261
01:48:09,211 --> 01:48:13,415
The op was classified. So…
the ceremony's classified.

1262
01:48:13,501 --> 01:48:17,133
He can't know about it,
nobody can know about it.

1263
01:48:18,264 --> 01:48:22,110
So they're just gonna give me an award,
then they're gonna take it back.

1264
01:48:22,183 --> 01:48:23,920
That's right.

1265
01:48:24,860 --> 01:48:28,301
If we wanted applause we would
would have joined the circus.

1266
01:48:28,483 --> 01:48:31,177
– I thought we did.
– Yeah.

1267
01:48:31,389 --> 01:48:34,792
Carter said you were a great American.

1268
01:48:35,169 --> 01:48:36,754
Great American what?

1269
01:48:37,351 --> 01:48:39,174
He didn't say.

1270
01:48:52,116 --> 01:48:54,839
What happened to your picture?

1271
01:48:55,074 --> 01:48:57,355
It's in turn around.

1272
01:49:38,300 --> 01:49:40,680
Can I come in?

1273
01:51:28,975 --> 01:51:31,775
