"Iraq is the nation we dreamed it would be." "I would like to stress our President's strong desire for peace and stability in the Middle East." "Look who you are left with." "Men" "My father has had many favourites." "But only one first son." "Deserters will be shot." "Cowards will be shot." "Do you understand?" "Well, if the Americans come." "I'll put a bullet in his head." "I'd be pleased to let you." "This is my country!" "When I was a boy, in Tikrit, a traveller walked through my village." "The villagers stared at the stranger." "But he kept on walking." "and challenged him." ""What are you doing here?" ""Asking for trouble?"" "The traveller was astonished." ""What do you mean?" he said." ""I am not looking for trouble." ""I have no weapon, no gun, no knife," ""I have nothing."" ""But that's just what I mean," the old man said." ""By walking without a weapon," ""you are inviting an attack."" "We are currently surrounded by enemies and collaborators, Qusay." "Iraq has a right to protect its people." "To benefit from the skills of its scientists and engineers." "The presence of weapons inspectors is nothing more than a temporary inconvenience." "Qusay is becoming powerful." "He is the" " President's son, don't forget." " So am I." "By marriage." "Weapon development is the responsibility of my ministry." "Not Qusay's." "It should be me in charge of this consignment committee." "Hussein, if Saddam says dig a hole, you dig a hole." "Don't let your ambition control you." "Be patient." "How many of these documents do we have to bury?" "We don't have to bury any." "We just watch." "Mr Aziz." "We seem to be taking an awfully long time to reach the plant." "Almost there, Mr Ekeus." "Not far now." "Stop." "Stop." "Could you reverse, please." "This is not the right way in." "Mr Aziz, what's going on?" "Stop the bus." "It's not the correct entrance." "Stop the bus, please." "Could you stop the bus right now, please!" "Stop, stop." "Everybody come." "We are from the United Nations." "My name is Rolf Ekeus." "It's all right." "Thank you." "Mr Ekeus." "Just follow me." "It's all right." "They can't stop us from entering the building." "It's all right, they're with me." "I beg you, wait a minute please." "Listen to me, Mr Aziz..." "Please..." "GUNFIRE" "Remain calm!" "There is no need to be alarmed." "Everything is under control." "Everybody, please!" "Remain CALM!" "You should have crashed the bus, Tariq." "With all your inspectors inside." "Then they could experience our broken-down hospitals." "What's done is done." "It was unfortunate, but it changes nothing." "Except they trust us now even less." "Is that possible?" "Ekeus must understand the suffering he's causing Iraq." "No produce in the markets." "No medicines in the hospitals." "No books in the schools." "Baba." "Sorry I'm late." "Forgive me." "So, what are we talking about?" "UN dogs and economic sanctions." "We are reviewing strategies." "We should tell them to mind their own fucking business." "How is that for an idea?" "Uday." "If Ekeus has a grievance, then he can come to me." "I'll deal with it." "Now, I don't want to be disturbed." "Any brilliant ideas, you say?" "Are you trying to make a fool of me in front of my father?" " What are you doing?" " Uday, calm down." "He tried to make me look a fool." "I was just asking a question." "Yes, I have an idea, Hussein." "To fucking kill you." "Uday!" "Do you like it?" "And the day is coming." "Uday!" "We are all family here." "The day is coming." "Why do we have to tolerate him?" "He's a danger." "A danger to all of us." " And to this country!" " Hussein!" "Baba." "Ah, Qusay." "You are here." "Come, come and see the family tree." "Baba, you need to speak to Uday." "He and Hussein..." "Look!" "It has been proven." "There is a clear line." "I am descended from the prophet." "We have royal and holy blood in our veins." "We are blessed and favoured!" "I knew it." "Yet, this...gift also brings its burdens." "Because we have risen so high, we've become a target." "We must always be on our guard, Qusay." "Yes, go." "Go." "What happened to you?" "Uday happened to me." "He's sick in the head." "No sooner had your father left, he starts yelling in my face, throwing food at me." "Why?" "Because he's Uday." "He does what he likes." "I'll speak to Baba." "No!" "He should know how Uday is behaving!" "Don't you think your father already knows?" "It would make me appear weak." "Leave it." "I will deal with it." "Your father is not interested any more." "In you?" "In anything." "So Mama, will you be celebrating the national holiday tonight?" "I doubt it." "All of my children will be with their father." "Because we have to be, Mama." "I'd rather be at my club." "With your Russian prostitutes?" "Still with the blonde, I understand." "Not really." "Yes, really." "Eat, Azizzi." "I'm not stupid." "He's with no-one, Mama." "He's has the weapons inspectors to think about." "The sanctions." "He is writing the Qu'ran with his own blood." "Seriously." "Today is the Day of Days, we celebrate our victory over Iran." "Yes, I know." "The President is at the disposal of his people." "Mr Ekeus." "Exactly how many more months, years will these inspections take?" "After all, you've seen everything there is to see several times." "continue until such time as I am satisfied I have seen everything." "Today, I meet my people." "They petition me for favours." "A tradition on the Day of Days." "What do I say to the mother who asks me for milk for her baby?" "Do I tell her you are searching for an invisible atomic weapon, and as soon as you find it, then her child can be fed?" "Mr Ekeus, the United Nations are punishing the people of Iraq." "For no reason." "No reason." "YOU can stop this torture." "Mr President." "Mr President!" "DOOR SLAMS" "I will provide you with a list of people I'd like to interview." "Mr Ekeus, I..." "Enjoy the celebrations, Mr Aziz." "Our country's dying, Saddam." "Look at it." "All it would take is for me to lose my temper with Uday just once and we could be one of them." "Look at them, the poor wretches." "Then I suggest you don't lose your temper!" "Enter!" "Efta!" "Are we selling it as this?" "With Medical Aid labels?" "Of course not, we're going to change the labels." "Drive it into Jordan first thing in the morning." "Sell it there." "Everything accounted for?" "Yes, sir." "Unload the rest of the trucks." "Did you hear what I said?" "Unload them." "There's somebody waiting to see you." "Hey...golden boy!" "Do you like my new gun?" "I'm taking your trucks and everything that's in them." "What are you going to do about that?" "The trucks and the contents belong to the people of Iraq." "Emergency aid." "And yet, you're selling it on the black market." "Hasta la vista, baby!" "Why didn't you warn me?" "How?" "He had a gun." "It's Mr Uday!" "What is Uday doing here?" "He's taking the trucks." "But that is our money." "So now it is his money." "It's time for us to act, brother, before it's too late." "Tonight!" "Does it have to be tonight?" "Go hurry them up." "Hussein, this is crazy." "Hussein!" "Raghad?" "My dress." "KNOCK ON DOOR Come in!" "Raghad, we have to leave." "It's a party." "We won't be late." "We want to look perfect." "Please." "Hurry up." "Two minutes." "OK." "Ignore him, sister." "Two minutes, no more." "Stop!" "You." "Follow me." "GRUNTING AND SOBBING" "HEADBOARD BANGS" "Hey, where are you going?" "I haven't finished with you." "Wait, wait, wait." "Uday...not tonight." "Not here." "Go." "And take the glasses with you." "Make sure you clean your nose." "Hussein, we're going miles out of our way." "What's happening?" "I told you, there is something I have to do." "What?" "Habibi." "Are you feeling unwell?" "We're not going to the party." "What?" "Hussein?" "They would've found out sooner or later." "Hussein, what's going on?" "!" "Ali!" "Ali!" "Hussein and Saddam Kamel." "Have they arrived yet with my sisters?" "I haven't seen them." "Then check that they've left - the President will be ready any moment." "And he wants his family around him." "Uday!" "Uday!" "Where exactly are we going?" "What?" "Jordan." "We have discussed this before." "Your father cannot see past Qusay." "Uday is running wild, every time I meet him he threatens to kill me." "It's true, Raghad." "You are my wife." "Rana is my brother's wife." "Yes, but not now!" "Not tonight!" "Now is the time." "Sanctions are killing Iraq everyday." "And as long as your father is in power, they will never be lifted." "Iraq needs a fresh start." "We need a new leader." "And you think that's you!" "They left almost two hours ago." "Have you followed the route?" "It's been done." "No accidents have been reported." "Something's wrong." "Hussein, let me try to speak to Baba." "If I thought I had that option, I would've taken it." "Can you please trust me?" "General Hussein, please, carry on." "Everything is ready?" "Your sisters." "Baba." "We have a crisis." "What is it?" "Hussein and Saddam Kamel may have crossed the border into Jordan." "Where are my daughters?" "Answer me." "Where are my daughters?" "We don't know." "We think they've gone too." "Traitor." "TRAITOR!" "Sat at my table with my daughter, and all the time he was planning to betray me." "His country." "He was talking to the CIA." "Baba." "We have specialists." "I can eliminate him." "I can do that." "No." "I could do it." "Baba I want to do it." "I said no!" "We have to bring them back." "Mr President!" "Saddam..." "..I swear, I know nothing about this." "My nephew is a law unto himself." "Ali." "Your loyalty is not in question." "I will need your assistance." "Anything." "Hussein trusts you." "You must go and speak to him." "Of course." "If it's about Uday and an apology is needed, then Uday will apologise." "He will go with you." "But keep a low profile in Jordan." "It will be best for all of us to sort this out behind closed doors." "I will do everything I can." "Everything." "So different from Baghdad." "So alive." "What rank are you?" "I'm here to determine what's true and what's not." "You think I come here and risk my life to tell lies?" "No, thanks." "I trust you are capable of delivering messages to your superiors in Langley." "That's not quite how it works." "We have a common interest in replacing Saddam Hussein." "Correct?" "Possibly, yes." "Before we proceed any further," "I require formal assurances you will place your organisation at my disposal." "In return, and upon my succession to Saddam as President, I will be able to guarantee future oil supplies." "Subject of course to future military assistance." "It may be a little more complicated than that." "Do you have any other options?" "Any other candidates for President?" "What sort of coup is the CIA planning?" "Lucky guess." "When Langley sees what I have to show them, it won't be at all complicated." "Well, that may be a good place to start." "Before we proceed any further." "I will require formal assurances." "I always knew he was a snake." "He has bought shame to the door of the Al Majids." "He's put all the Al Majids in danger." "I suspect the king will want us to dine with him tonight." "Make sure you wear something nice." "Ah, there you are." "Ekeus will have a seizure." "He's been searching for this for years." "You're giving up Iraq's secrets!" "Habititi, we have a million secrets in Iraq." "But that's all we have." "You have no idea who you're dealing with, do you?" "worked with my father and you still think you can win?" "You know nothing about him." "Raghad...go find a nice dress to wear." "The king will see you now." "About time." "Your majesty, how good of you to see us." "You know my foreign minister, Mr Kabariti." "Hello, Mr Kabariti." "Your majesty, foreign minister, we are all men of experience here." "A misunderstanding has arisen involving our cousin General Hussein Kamel Al Majid." "We wish to clear up this misunderstanding, so Uday and I have come in friendship to invite Hussein to return to Baghdad." "To his family." "After all, this is a family matter." "Not political." "That will not be possible, I'm afraid." "In what way is this reasonable request not possible?" "Hussein Kamel has asked me for political asylum." "He fears for his safety were he to return to Iraq." "He fears for his safety." "He said that?" "What about the safety of my sisters?" "They are here against their will." "I have a right to see them." "Your sisters have made it clear that their place is with their husbands." "I respect their wish." "I want to hear it from them." "Where are they?" "Gentlemen, that really is all we have to say on the matter." "Baba isn't going to be happy." "Hear me?" "My father will NOT be pleased." "Your majesty, foreign minister, thank you." "For nothing!" "General Hussein Kamel Al Majid is believed to be sheltering in the royal palace in Amman." "I can hold Iraq like this, better than Saddam holds it now." "With UN weapons inspector Rolf Ekeus and his team still in Iraq, searching for illegal weapons and an economy crippled by UN sanctions," "This defection is a further blow to Saddam Hussein's previously unshakable hold on power in Iraq." "We left Iraq because we had nothing left in Iraq." "Iraq is dying." "We are trying to save Iraq." "I can't believe he could do such a thing." "To stand before the world and denounce our country." "My President, I can only ensure mine and my family's absolute devotion, to you and Iraq." "Ali...this is not your fault." "There are traitors all around us." "All controlled by CIA and by Hussein." "But we are watching them, my friend." "And we will strike back." "I want you to increase surveillance." "Anyone acting suspiciously is to be picked up and bought in immediately for questioning." "Make sure Ekeus does not leave the country." "Mr Ekeus?" "Yes." "Your flight to Jordan has been delayed." "Mr Deputy Tariq Aziz would like to see you." "When Ekeus arrives, Tariq, you are to give him everything." "Everything?" "All of it - research, drawings, blueprints, equipment." "We move it to Hussein's farm and we give them everything." "Tariq and Qusay will oversee the operation." "But Baba, that means we lose." "No." "The traitor will lose." "We cut his throat." "Without any new information, he is nothing but a refugee." "Without a story to tell, he is unworthy of protection." "Mr Ekeus, may I assure you there will be no further obstacles to our co-operation." "You and the Anscombe team should consider yourselves honoured guests here in Iraq." "I'm pleased to hear what you say." "It is unfortunate this level of co-operation was not evident from the outset." "Of course, Mr Ekeus, and we share in your sentiments." "Now if you permit us, we have uncovered yet more information hidden by General Al Majid from both us and you." "My son will show you." "Mr Ekeus, we have been enemies before." "But now I am glad we meet as friends." "Perhaps you will take a seat, General Hussein?" "So...where should we begin?" "You see, what you have been chasing are mirages." "All weapons, biological and chemical missiles have been destroyed." "This is before or after inspections began?" "Since 1991." "Ah." "Yes." "Don't underestimate yourself, Mr Ekeus." "You are very effective in Iraq." "Sooner or later you would have discovered them." "And you would have justified any action you chose." "You expect us to take your word for it that all weapons were destroyed." "They were a liability." "Not an asset." "We understood that we had something far more valuable than the war-heads." "We had the knowledge and the expertise." "And that you will agree, is where the true value lies." "Of course." "Iraq's future capability is still of primary concern." "Are these the papers you have brought us today?" "These are but a sample." "They present the blueprint for the entire weapon program." "We have seen them already." "The Iraqi Government disclosed them a few days ago." "That cannot be true." "They were discovered in a chicken shed outside Baghdad." "A chicken shed?" "According to your president, the shed belongs to you." "This is a joke." "He also claims that you have been acting alone in concealing information." "No." "With a view to a meeting not dissimilar to this one." "I am not responsible for the concealment of information." "This is another joke." "A lie." "Surely you do not believe THEM?" "!" "Would you like a glass of water, General?" "Everything." "He gave them everything." "You never understood him, did you?" "The most important thing to my father is loyalty." "By the way, the king would like us to move out of the hotel and into an apartment." "That was just one battle." "I still have value." "What now?" "Of course." "I can't bear to think that" "And the grandchildren." "Is it right that they should grow up in a foreign land?" "Saddam, what do you want me to do?" "I want them home." "Will they be safe?" "They are my daughters." "Will they be safe?" "I give you my word." "I want you to speak to them." "Tell them that I understand that they've been taken against their will." "I know none of this is their fault." "Just tell them... that I want them to come home." "I understand you gave a telephone interview last week to the editor of the Jordanian newspaper Bilat." "What of it?" "I understand that you threatened to kill him." "I wish to see the king." "Our accommodation is unacceptable." "Being a journalist, he recorded the discussion." "You can clearly be heard threatening to kill him." "The phrase you used was, "I will cut you up piece by piece."" "That's what you say I said." "Then I agree." "General, he is intending to take you to court over these threats." "To court?" "This is absurd." "I have to remind you, this is not Iraq." "In Jordan, we all live under the rule." "PHONE RINGS" "Leave it!" "Yes?" ".." "Mama!" "Why are we sitting out here on show?" "Saddam has assassins everywhere." "We're not on show, we're having a cup of coffee." "Don't you like it?" "I demand guarantees of protection." "In return for what?" "I have given you everything." "I know how Iraq works." "I know how Saddam Hussein thinks." "I've been at his right hand for more than ten years." "It's because of that no free Iraqi will come near you." "You were part of his killing machine, Hussein." "And we've got plenty of other options." "You're on your own now." "I'm sorry." "Sorry?" "That's it?" "!" "That's all that America has to offer?" "Yeah, and the truth of it is, we don't even mean it." "Watch out for assassins, General!" "PHONE RINGS" "Yes." "Hussein." "It's Amo Saddam." "Your President." "I am sending you a letter." "What is written is the truth." "Neither I nor my sons will harm you or your brother." "I swear." "You are the husband of my daughter and the father of my beloved grandchildren." "It is time for you to come home." "Do you believe him?" "I've known him for a long time." "He is a man of his word." "Yes, I believe him." "Then you are a fool, Hussein." "He says himself, why would he harm the husbands of his daughters?" "The fathers of his grandchildren?" "Because you betrayed him." "And we will be punished." "We will be out of office for some time." "No matter, anything is better than this." "We will make the best of things here." "Raghad, there is nothing here for us." "You don't seem to understand how much your father relied on me." "Raghad, you didn't hear his voice." "He was speaking the truth." "He will forgive us." "He does not forgive traitors!" "We were doing routine searches on the road from Amman to Baghdad and that's when we found it." "A satellite phone?" "It must be CIA." "Yes." "This is Hussein's doing." "His weakness has allowed these vipers to believe they can seize power." "But you will change that, Qusay." "You are the man..." "Hussein can never be." "Shall we make the arrests?" "No, no." "We have the system." "Let's use it." "We do nothing but listen." "This phone belongs to a CIA spy." "Other traitors will soon be calling it with information." "What?" "I can't go back." "We shouldn't go back." "We are going home." "It has been decided." "No." "Yes." "I don't want to die!" "Refuse to go back, brother, and you will die." "Because I will kill you!" "I will not be nothing!" "This looks like them." "Hey." "No-one is to be harmed." "OK?" "A madman comes to greet us." "Welcome home." "We've missed you... golden boy." "Frightened?" "Hussein, Saddam Kamel out of the car." "Why?" "Get out of the car!" "What's happening?" "Where are you taking them?" "They won't be harmed." "Baba's given his word." "You and Rana are going straight to Mama." "Get out." "We will be fine." "Get out." "One of my drivers will take over from here." "Your weapons, gentlemen." "Have a seat." "Take off your shirts." "What?" "He said take off your shirts!" "And your berets." "You are not fit to wear the uniform of Iraq." "Sign the papers." "This is your agreement to a divorce from my sisters." "Divorce?" "But I don't want a divorce." "This is what the President wants." "Sign it." "The President says you're nothing to him now and you will be taken to your father's house." "Let's go." "At least we're alive." "We are divorced." "I am nothing." "We have done as you requested, Baba." "We traced the callers to the CIA satellite phone." "We have produced almost 800 names." "It seems Hussein was not the only one talking to the Americans." "Show me the faces of these traitors." "SLIDE PROJECTOR CLICKS" "MEN SHOUT" "PHONE RINGS" "Yeah." "CIA?" "This is Saddam Hussein, the President of Iraq." "I'm calling you to tell you that your boys are now... my guests." "It is unlikely you will be seeing them again." "America wants to control Iraq." "They will never give up... until I'm gone." "Cousin Ali, I'm sure you understand the pain that your nephews have caused me." "Very much so, your President." "I would be within my rights to exact vengeance for the damage they have caused." "And I have given my word that neither I nor my sons will harm them and I'm a man of my word." "Yet this stain of dishonour and betrayal is there for all to see." "It is the entire Al Majid family who must carry this stain to their graves." "Unless, of course... it is removed." "Mr President," "I will avenge the shame my nephews have brought on the Al Majid family name." "Make sure it's done properly, Ali." "In the Bedouin way." "Saddam Kamel!" "Collect your weapons!" "We the men of the family Al Majid..." "It's Uncle Ali." "We have come to purge the traitors from our family." "Collect your weapons." "Let's make it a fair fight." "Uncle Ali." "The President has spared us." "But the tribe find you guilty." "Last chance, collect your weapons." "Saddam Kamel." "Get upstairs." "Upstairs!" "Listen. 'Stop firing!" "'" "How long do you think we can hold out, brother?" "Not long." "Saddam!" "Saddam!" "Enough." "Enough!" "You call this fair, Ali?" "As fair as the traitors deserve." "For the children." "Chocolates." "You look well, both of you." "How is your mother?" "She is a widow, like her daughters." "The time you were away was not good." "But now you're back." "I asked you to come today because I wanted to look into your eyes." "I see you're still my daughters... ..so you will understand that what happened was a necessary end." "Hussein was my husband, Baba." "You chose him for me... ..and I loved him." "By killing Hussein and Saddam Kamel, you have destroyed a part of us both." "May we leave now?" "We are watching them, my friend." "We will strike back." "You were always my friend." "I have nothing to forgive you for." "A man who can sacrifice is a man without weakness." "I am innocent!" "Go out!" "Out!" "Fire!" "Fire." "Fire." "Tear it all down!" "I want everything destroyed!" "PEOPLE SCREAM" "Is that her?" "She is pretty." "She is married." "Tell them." "Tell me." "Tell them why you killed my brother." "Sajida...go shopping." "This programme contains some strong language." "Make sure it's done properly, Ali... in the Bedouin way."

"They must leave the country immediately." "No argument." "Yes, Baba." "We will not be staying together." "We must protect the dynasty." "We keep moving until the Americans are defeated."

"I'm married to my cousin, but she's not a good cook." "So, you eat away from home." "Oh!" "Don't tell me I have found a weak spot in my bodyguard's armour." "Maybe." "Well, who is she?" "Her name is Sara." "She lives in Baghdad." "I want to ask her to marry me, but I am afraid she will refuse." "Clever girl." "I'm sure she doesn't want to become a second wife." "My family will not allow me to divorce my cousin." "Well, they may be right." "One wife is enough trouble." "More than enough." "THEY LAUGH" "A vehicle." "A Jeep?" "I'm not sure, Mr President, but it would be better if you went back inside." "They've stopped." "RADIO CLICKS" "It's Qais." "Why didn't he signal sooner?" "Why didn't you click earlier?" "I did." "You could've been shot!" "We thought you were the Americans." "Ala, I did click earlier." "Then recharge your batteries." "Food is ready, you will eat with us." "That's very kind, Excellency, but I have to get back - the curfew." "What was the point in coming?" "The Americans... they are preparing for more raids tonight." "They have raised their target for the number of arrests." "We have good information." "So where will these raids be?" "Mainly in Tikrit." "But they could also sweep the river, day or night." "Mmm." "Good." "Move, I need to piss." "He shouldn't be going to the river." "He will do what he wants to do." "I have to go back." "Stay alert." "Change your batteries!" "I hate all this moving around." "We have no choice." "We have to keep moving or the Americans will find us." "Why here?" "Zaidan may be our cousin, but he fucking hates us." "Abdul Samad..." "Just go." "It's true." "We should be out of the country with the gold." "We can organise just as easily from across the border." "It's OK." "KNOCKING ON DOOR" "Abdul Samad!" "Who's with you in the house?" "What are you doing here?" "Zaidan, open the door." "Why?" "What do you want?" "We need shelter for a couple of days." "That's it." "Security means we haven't been able to tell you till now." "Zaidan?" "Zaidan!" "Go back inside." "I'm talking business." "Come, children." "Come..." "Come..." "Who's "we"?" "Uday, Qusay and Qusay's son, Mustapha." "No!" "Two, three days no more." "No chance." "You have to assist us!" "I said no." "Didn't you hear me?" "What are you trying to do, get my family killed?" "Why the hell did you bring them here?" "Zaidan, if you refuse them, how long do you think you'll last?" "A month, a week, a day?" "And they'll pay you." "Two days." "No more." "It's less than an hour from here to the border." "I am not listening." "Well, you should!" "It makes sense." "What if things get worse, huh?" "KNOCK AT DOOR" "Who is it?" "It's me, Zaidan." "Yes?" "I just wanted to check you had everything you need." "We have everything." "Thank you, Zaidan." "Can I ask...how long do you think you might be staying?" "I will need to arrange food supplies and such and, er, there may be other expenses." "This will cover your expenses." "Now piss off." "Thank you." "Ala, the extractor fan..." "for the hole." "It's the wrong size." "It's all I could get." "I suppose I'll have to try to make it work." "The hole is useless without it." "Is there something you need to say, Qais?" "Your leaflets are being distributed in town." "They have been posted on all public buildings." "There's a price on Uday and Qusay's head as well." "Hm..." "They think they are in the Wild West." "They believe everything has a price." "It is of no concern." "Iraqi honour cannot be bought." "I am going to the river to fish." "25 million dollars!" "That's a lot of money." "He has a greater opinion of Iraqi honour than you or I!" "Halt." "State your business." "My name is Zaidan." "I have information which may be of interest to your commander." "OK, building down on your left." "Take him through." "What are you doing?" "Do you like to fish, my friend?" "Come here, come." "Help me with this." "I used to fish with my brothers." "But they are in the army now." "They bring honour to your family." "I have brothers." "But when I was your age, I had to leave them." "My stepfather beat me, so I ran away." "But by running away," "I discovered what it was I had to do." "My true destiny." "You didn't mention meeting me to anyone, did you?" "No." "Good, good." "But I know who you are." "So, who am I?" "Saddam Hussein." "President of Iraq." "My father says you will still kick out the Americans." "And do you think he is right?" "I don't know." "They took him two nights ago." "Mustapha!" "Wake up." "Zaidan!" "Uday." "Uday, get up!" "Something's going on outside." "Abdul Samad!" "Where the fuck is Zaidan?" "Zaidan?" "Mustapha, get up!" "Fuck!" "How long have they been there?" "How do I know?" "Zaidan!" "Zaidan!" "Zaidan is gone." "What?" "!" "Bastard!" "He's sold us out." "I knew it!" "Didn't I tell you he'd sell us out!" "Mustapha, check the back stairs, Abdul Samad, take the balcony." "Baba!" "They're out there, Baba!" "They're coming!" "SOLDIERS SHOUT ORDERS" "Come on." "Take this." "Now listen, don't let anybody up those stairs." "OK?" "You can do it." "Listen to me, you can do it!" "Abdul Samad." "Keep an eye on Mustapha." "There's a fucking army out there!" "What do we do now?" "We either die now, or we hang in a month." "I don't want to die now!" "Then fight." "Fight!" "This is the commander of the American 101st airborne division for the international coalition forces." "You are surrounded." "Come out slowly with your arms in the air and you will not be harmed." "This will be your only warning!" "So...we die." "Go!" "Fire!" "Mustapha!" "Mustapha!" "Are you OK?" "I'm OK, Baba!" "They got Abdul Samad!" "Get down!" "Get down!" "Get down!" "Get down!" "Fuck!" "Get down!" "A VEHICLE APPROACHES" "What is it?" "A car." "It's coming very fast." "It's not Qais?" "No clicks." "We need to get you into the hole." "Is it ready?" "It will have to be." "Excellency, they are almost here." "A light, I have no light." "There is no time." "Here, take this." "Ala!" "Why didn't you signal?" "You frightened the life out of us!" "Where's the President?" "He's safe, why didn't you signal?" "Where is the President?" "!" "I had to put him in the hole!" "GUNSHOT No, no!" "Mr President, don't shoot!" "Mr President, no!" "What are you trying to do to me?" "!" "Kill me?" "!" "How long am I supposed" "And you!" "You have built me nothing but a coffin!" "Why?" "!" "Mr President, it's not finished yet!" "Then why, why am lying inside it?" "Why?" "Is it dollars you are after?" "!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Please!" "Finish it!" "Why is there panic?" "Why is there panic?" "Qais?" "!" "Uday and Qusay and little Mustapha have been killed." "My sons are dead." "Trusted by their father, feared and loathed by the people." "For years, Qusay and his older brother Uday were at the very centre of Saddam Hussein's empire." "The only comment I will make about the death of the sons is that it's a great day for Iraqi people, a great day for the American military..." "Uday's sadism was legendary." "Many reports of women raped, sportsmen habitually tortured." "One man publicly beaten to death by him." "'Qusay was a tactician who emerged as his father's heir apparent 'in charge of Iraq's powerful and widely-feared security apparatus." "'Their deaths have deprived the coalition of the chance to question them." "'Next to Saddam himself, no-one would have known the secrets of his regime better than them.'" "Moma..." "We have to be strong, and take care of ourselves now." "The Syrians can't protect us." "They'll find us here." "They put my sons' bodies on television and showed them to the world!" "Why?" "I don't know, Moma." "It's over, isn't it?" "It's all over." "There are people who love us." "We should leave Syria, go to Jordan." "We have the money, we'll be safe there." "A patrol has just passed down the far bank." "That should give us at least half an hour until the next one passes." "No, no." "We go this way." "It's shorter." "Where are the Americans?" "We have organised a distraction, but we must hurry, they will not be long." "There are faithful men...who are faithful to their vows to God." "There are those who die..." "Excellency." "..and there are those who are waiting to die." "We must go." "When we return to the hut... ..I will speak to the people." "The fight must continue." "If you think you have killed Uday and Qusay and Mustapha, we tell you, you are wrong, because they are but part of the youth of our nation." "All the youth of our nation and all the youth of Iraq will follow Uday, Qusay and Mustapha into jihad." "If Saddam Hussein had 100 sons other than Uday and Qusay," "Saddam Hussein would have offered them on the same path, which is the path to jihad." "Allahu Akbar." "Allahu Akbar." "Allahu Akbar." "Why are we risking our lives when nobody is listening?" "Because we must." "He has no power any more." "Yes." "Today he has no power, but what will happen tomorrow?" "Cousin Adnan." "I didn't see you there." "You weren't supposed to, I was eavesdropping." "Mm-hm." "You've lost weight." "Funny." "You're funny." "We have no choice." "The Iraqi motto." "The fan is working!" "It's ready!" "Excellency." "Ala has finished the sanctuary." "It's not a sanctuary." "It's a hole in the ground." "Do you want to have a look?" "Will I be able to breathe?" "The fan is working now." "Will I be able to breathe?" "!" "Yes, Your Excellency." "You try it first." "Sit inside for one hour." "EXPLOSION" "What was that?" "An explosion." "About two kilometres away." "It must be another bomb." "Another bomb?" "There are reports of bombs at roadsides." "Knocking out American vehicles." "Do you know what this means, Qais?" "The Iraqis are fighting back!" "They are organised!" "At last!" "We must establish communication." "It must be the Al Farouk Brigades." "I will need a report straight away." "They will need to know that I am here." "I must devise a new battle plan." "Get me some paper." "And a map." "Immediately!" "I'm going to see what's going on." "Be careful." "They are arresting every man old enough to shave." "Ala." "The President, he wants you to sit in the hole for one hour." "Me?" "!" "Yes, you." "Why?" "To see if it's safe." "But it is safe." "Then it shouldn't be a problem, should it?" "Qais!" "The map!" "'The search for former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein intensified today, 'with US forces making several high-profile arrests 'in a series of early-morning raids across Baghdad." "'..a 36-year-old man rumoured to be a first cousin of one of Saddam's most trusted bodyguards." "'A man named as Adnan Abdullah Abid al-Musslit was seized from his flat in central Baghdad 'in the early hours of yesterday evening and taken to the US military detention centre in Abu Ghraib, 'where he will he questioned, along with others" "'suspected of concealing information regarding the whereabouts of the former Iraqi president.'" "'Allied sources say that they are extremely hopeful that the arrests 'will provide the breakthrough they have been seeking in the search for Saddam Hussein." "'But as yet, they are no closer to locating the deposed Iraqi dictator.'" "I don't know anything!" "I swear, I don't know anything!" "Habibi, I can't believe it's you." "Where have you been?" "I have missed you so much!" "I've missed you too, Habibiti." "Are you all right?" "I've been so worried about you." "I'm fine, I'm fine." "You're hungry, huh?" "I haven't tasted good food in weeks." "Move it!" "Get down!" "No, no..." "Hands up!" "SHE SCREAMS" "Don't touch her!" "Stay away." "Sara!" "No!" "MUFFLED:" "Sara!" "The curfew has never stopped him before." "What if he's been taken?" "He'll come." "If he went to see that woman in Baghdad again," "I swear to God, I will cut his balls off." "We must get the boat ready!" "Excellency?" "He won't be back." "Get the boat ready and ask the boy to look after it." "We are leaving tonight." "Where is the boy?" "He was supposed to wait with the boat." "Well, he probably got scared." "No." "Something has happened." "Amo." "Don't go!" "There are American patrols." "Everywhere." "They have big lights." "They're going to find you." "You have done well." "Are they upstream or down?" "Everywhere." "Come with me." "Swim with me." "I can help you, I know the river." "Listen to me - you must go and hide yourself." "Don't let the Americans find you." "You must not speak of us ever, do you understand?" "Now go." "Go, my son." "Yallah, back to the hut." "They are coming." "You have seen them?" "They are very close, I'm sure of it." "Get me a light." "We'll come for you." "DOGS BARK IN THE DISTANCE" "Where do we go?" "Er...the palm grove." "Yallah!" "YALLAH!" "LIGHTER CLICKS" "FOOTSTEPS ABOVE" "Sir." "Sir." "It's still hot." "Check the river bank." "Get your hands up!" "Get your hands up!" "Don't shoot." "Get up!" "Please, please!" "Don't shoot!" "Please, please!" "Please don't shoot." "Please, please don't shoot." "OK, let's bring them into the light." "Come on." "Down!" "Down!" "HE SHOUTS" "What's he saying?" "He says he knows where Saddam is hiding." "Well, ask him where he's hiding." "THEY TALK IN DIALECT" "He says he's hiding 5 kilometres from here." "Bullshit." "He wants us to walk away." "That's total bullshit!" "OK, let's tear this place apart!" "Come on!" "We're looking for anything unusual." "Anything out of place." "Come on, move!" "Sir!" "Sir!" "It could be nothing, but this box is new." "He's here." "The son of a bitch is here." "COCKS GUN" "Sir!" "OK, give it a short burst." "And again." "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" "Get your hands up!" "Get your hands up!" "I am Saddam Hussein." "I am the President of Iraq, and I am willing to negotiate." "What's he saying?" "He says he's the President of Iraq and he's willing to negotiate." "All call signs." "All call signs." "Saddam Hussein Tikriti." "This court finds you guilty of five separate counts of crimes against humanity." "As a result, and in accordance with Iraqi law, the court has decided to sentence you to be hanged..." "Long live Iraq!" "..until you are dead." "Long live the glorious" "Take him away." "Allahu Akbar!" "Allahu Akbar!" "Take him away!" "Allahu Akbar!" "Long live the glorious Iraqi people!" "Allahu Akbar!" "Allahu Akbar!" "Allahu Akbar!"
