"I already got you all the time I can get." "Beirut was our mistake." "One of our agents blew your network and I know you shared." "We messed up." "Just thought you needed to know that." "We make that kind of mistake." "I can understand why you don't trust us." "Your agents and contacts were compromised." "Men who trusted you died, and that stays with you always." "And all that damage we leave behind." "All those lives, all those empty rooms, what would they have been for?" "You ever ask yourself that question?" "Why we do what we do?" "Mmm-hmm, sometimes." "But I always come back to the same answer." "And what is it?" "Make the world a safer place." "Isn't that enough?" "(CLICKS TONGUE)" " ISSA:" "Mmm-mmm." " Mmm..." "Move your queen." "Just because you're Russian, doesn't mean you're a better chess player than me." "I'm Chechen." "Okay, so you're good at chess." "Tell me something else about yourself." "You said your mother is Chechen?" "She's dead." "I'm sorry." "My father raped her." "She died when I was born." "(SIGHS DEEPLY)" "She was 15." "(JINGLING)" "It was my mother's." "It's beautiful."

"God's will?" "Or just a man who was arrogant enough to kill in his name?" "She's good." "Leyla and Melik have been arrested." "They may be deported, because they were kind to you, because they invited you in to their home." "Explain it to me, Issa!" "God's will?" "Explain to me why that man who killed those women and children in Baghdad is any different from your own father?" "ISSA:" "I came to Hamburg to make a new life." "ANNABEL:" "No." "You came to Hamburg to find Mr. Tommy Brue." "You came to claim your father's money." "I told you, I do not want his money." "Hmm." "(SIGHS)" "Forgive me." "Maybe there's a way to leave your past behind, Issa." " Take your father's money..." " GÜNTHER:" "Take your father's money," " and turn it into something good." " ...and turn it into something good." "(GARAGE DOOR OPENS)" "Your goat is tethered." "It's just an ordinary pen." "Looks like a pen, writes like a pen and listens like a pen."

"You are acting on behalf of a wealthy Muslim..." "Several times." "...who has come in to a considerable inheritance and the source of the money is questionable."

"Yes, and, uh, another at the door, I believe." "Please sit." "Please." "As explained to you, my client's situation in Germany is delicate." "These are the details of his offer." "As you can see, there are specific requests for some money to be sent to Chechnya." "Hospitals and schools." "Perhaps this is a joke?" "You have added a zero to test me." "The figure is correct." "(SPEAKING ARABIC)" "Where did this money come from?" "It has come to him in the form of an inheritance." "My client has come to regard it as unclean and seeks your guidance in disposing of it in a manner befitting your religion." "You're an honorable man, I believe that." "But tell me, why should I trust you?" "TOMMY:" "We must trust each other surely." "I am willing, under my client's instruction, to arrange for significant funds to be transferred to you." "You are known as a religious man." "A trusted man." "I accept you will direct this money to the purpose he intends." "Why this urgency?" "My client's legal status in Germany is insecure."

" (SNIFFLES)" " Are you under duress?" "No." "Look at me." "It is unclean money, sir." "It belongs to a man who has done great evil." "(SNIFFLES)" "My father." "I wish to be free of him." "Whose sins do you renounce by making this gift?" "The sins of my father." "And your own sins?" "(SIGHS)" "I believe you feel lost, without God or love." "You must choose the path of Allah." "Only then will you be truly free of this burden." "(DOOR OPENS)" "I am satisfied, Mr. Brue, that his offer is genuine." "Wonderful." "This is a list of charities, with their banking details, for your verification." "Please." "It seems in order." "ABDULLAH:" "I will await further instruction." "Michael." "Welcome to Berlin." "Everyone got my report?" "Yes." "You need to concentrate on Burgdorf," "Ministry of the Interior." "The final decision will be his." "I'm going to need passports for Karpov and the Turks." "We don't do passports." "He gave the lawyer his word." "GÜNTHER:" "I did, and this time I want it to mean something." "It's up there." "(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)" "We've checked every name on the charity list." "They're all clean." "Herr Bachmann, please." "You're looking at me, at us, but we don't exist, not legally, not officially, because German intelligence needs a job to be done that German law won't let it do, so me and my people we stay small." "We stay on the streets." "We make the weather." "Our sources don't come to us, we find them." "Uh, we become their friends." "Their brothers, their fathers, their lovers, if we have to." "When they're ours, and only then, we direct them at bigger targets." "It takes a minnow to catch a barracuda." "A barracuda to catch a shark." "I don't fish, Herr Bachmann." "MICHAEL:" "It's a metaphor, Erhardt." "Just a metaphor." "We take our time." "We watch." "We wait." "We see what Allah provides." "Uh, well, this time Allah has provided" "Issa Karpov and his ill-gotten millions." "As you can see from the report my team has compiled," "Dr. Abdullah has provided an extensive list of his favorite charities to be the recipients of those millions." "Each one of those charities has been CIA cleared." "It is my belief he will replace one of the names on this list with another." "Seven Friends Navigation Company." "What kind of proof can you show us?" "Proof is what we're looking for." "If this Abdullah, if this barracuda, if I've understood the metaphor, takes the bait, with what leverage will you secure his cooperation?" "On the negative, uh, threat of prosecution, prison, uh, public humiliation, discrediting of his charities, um, deportation of his wife and children." "I choose the positive." "Amnesty, citizenship, for which he has applied half a dozen times." "Now we are offering citizenship to financiers of terror?" "You are all familiar with the operational plan?" "We have three hours to apprehend Abdullah and make him ours and get him back home before anyone notices." "And if he does not comply?" "Then he's yours." "Do with him whatever you need to do." "And Issa Karpov?" "He's to be left alone." "In my eyes it's unacceptable." "Find someone else to parade before the cameras." "That was agreed." "He has our protection." "Martha, what is the American perspective?" "Maybe if you could define for us what you think the long-term objective would be." "What are we trying to achieve?" "To make the world a safer place." "Isn't that enough?" "Mr. Brue?" "Tomorrow morning." "Thank you for letting me know." "(CAR DOOR CLOSES)" "How are you feeling?" "Good." "You drop him at the bank and then you disappear."

"It means you can stay." "I have something for you." "(SPEAKING ARABIC)" " TOMMY:" "Doctor." " ABDULLAH:" "Hello, Mr. Brue." "TOMMY:" "This confirms the receipt of funds from Mr. Karpov in to your new account we've set up here." "These are the charities you specified with their bank details." "Each of the transfers is logged in to our system and is ready to go." "Oh." "Would you please check all the details?" "The name of the account holders and the money assigned to each recipient and then authorize each one with your signature." "I would like to make a substitute." "I need to change a name." "TOMMY:" "Seven Friends Navigation Company?" "ABDULLAH:" "Yes." "It is a shipping company, but one whose business is charity." "We can have all the aid in the world but it's worthless unless you can get it to the people who need it." "Mmm-hmm." "Yes." "All right." "Your final signature." "Ah!"
