Original subtitles

(dramatic violin music)

- Good morning, gentlemen.

We address ourselves this morning to a crowded agenda.

However...

Developing events in Europe

and the Persian Gulf take precedence.

Mr. Salazar.

- Our intelligence has reported, and we've been

able to confirm that a faction within the Arab

organization of oil producing states

has entered into a conspiracy.

Three men.

Three men led by Saalaf Insidqi of Kuwait,

Mahdi Al-Taleb of Saudi Arabia,

and Rashid Al-Sharif of Tunisia.

I've organized some 40 independent facilities

to engage in petrochemical production.

In Saudi Arabia, excavation has begun here

at Ajam and Al-Jawf.

In Iraq at Kirkuk in the early stages of construction.

Iran...

Oman...

Qatar.

Abu Dhabi.

Egypt.

And Syria.

- [Grey Haired Man] The implications?

- [Salazar] Crippling.

There would be created a production consortium

competitive to our own.

- [Grey Haired Man] To what extent?

- [Salazar] Worldwide competition.

A vast apparatus against us in the manufacture

and marketing of petrochemicals.

- Then I would assume that steps are being taken to

neutralize this plan.

- Yes sir.

(speaking in foreign language)

- This new Arab consortium is of no consequence

to us economically.

But, Al-Taleb...

Heads in Arab faction oppose to any further

increase in oil prices.

He is an internationalist who proposes to

extend and share Arab wealth

with the poor consuming countries of the Third World.

- What is your analysis of his ultimate objective?

Only as it concerns to the Soviet Union.

- To soften, if not eliminate our influence

throughout the Third World.

- I assume you're considering countermeasures

to the situation.

- Famished.

(calming acoustic guitar music)

(calming acoustic guitar music)

- Come here.

- Sante.

- To you.

(calming acoustic guitar music)

- [Higher Pitched Man] I thank you for coming.

- [Deeper Pitched Man] It was your wish, Majesty.

- [Higher Pitched Man] Five years, 17 as you.

- [Deeper Pitched Man] Nor my beliefs.

(loud singing)

- Did he offer you the position?

- Yes.

- Did you accept?

- Yes, of course.

But, it's strange.

- You're frightened.

- Yes.

But you'll be with me old friend, to pick up the pieces.

- [Flight Attendant] Good evening, this flight number 35

arriving from Paris will be deplaning at gate number six.

Passengers are cautioned not to leave their--

- It's so good to have you back, Ms. Nicole.

- I'll drive.

(cheery suspenseful instrumental music)

(phone ringing)

- There was a call for you earlier.

- Any message?

- Just a number for you to call.

I have it somewhere.

Sorry.

- A call for you, Ms. Nicole.

- [Nicole] Excuse me.

- Why does she bother to come home?

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Welcome to New York, Your Excellency.

Captain Frank Dedario.

I'm assigned as your Chief of Security.

- Colonel Hamid.

- Colonel.

- I would've taken the scenic route sir, if there was one.

When was the last time you were here?

- Oh, I've been back and forth many times.

I was a student here for four years.

(police sirens)

- [Waldorf Manager] Welcome to the Waldorf Astoria,

Your Excellency.

- [Reporter] Your Excellency, Andy Hampsas, NBC News.

May we have your comment on the recent assassinations?

- [Your Excellency] Well, the Arab world

has lost three of its best men.

They were my friends and I shall miss them.

- [Andy] Do you know who was responsible for their murders?

- [Your Excellency] If you'll excuse me.

- Thank you sir.

The new Saudi Arabian Minister of State,

Khalil Abdul-Muhsen.

Described most recently in the European press

as a tiger with soft brown eyes.

He is asked to make a statement before

the General Assembly regarding changes

in Saudi Arabian foreign policy.

In the light of recent terrorist activity

in the Arab States, a special session has been

scheduled for tomorrow.

- Nobody, I mean nobody comes up here without a clearance,

hotel personnel included.

- Yes sir.

- Where's the kitchen?

- Splendid.

- [Man In Suit] Your Excellency, can I

get you anything else?

- A helicopter.

- Just tell her I'll be home late.

I don't know how late.

Not 'til late dinner, I've already eaten.

Yeah, I've had a pastrami sandwich.

10-4.

(dramatic instrumental music)

- Hamid.

It's good to be back, you know?

It's a magic city.

(speaking in French)

- [Flight Attendant] Ladies and gentlemen.

We are beginning our descent towards

New York's Kennedy Airport.

Please fasten your seat belts

and extinguish your cigarettes, thank you.

(phone ringing)

- Yes sir?

Where?

The basement?

Yes sir.

Charlie, the Minister of State wants to

go to the basement.

- The hell's in the basement at four AM?

- Maybe he's interested in plumbing.

- No, there's a train station in the basement.

- [Charlie] Train station?

- Yeah, there's a train station in the basement

of this building.

That's what he said.

- Some of this country's great leaders use this station.

Roosevelt, Eisenhower.

MacArthur.

I was a student here in New York when Eisenhower

was nominated to be president.

On the battlefield of indecision lie the

bleached bones of countless thousands.

Who in a moment of decision waited

and in waiting, died.

That was part of a speech by Senator Everett Dirksen.

His Keynote Speech at the Republican Convention.

Everybody wanted to know where the quotation came from.

Dirksen eventually admitted that he'd got it

from an advertisement for soap.

It was a bleaching chemical.

Bleached bones.

Written by some obscure copywriter.

It's wonderful.

- You'll be just as eloquent tomorrow

at the United Nations.

- Eloquent.

- [Hamid] Yes.

- My good friend, I shall be just as eloquent.

(crowd chanting)

- Khalil.

I'm sorry, Khalil.

The death of Al-Taleb is a sad blow for all of us,

I mourn him as I would my own brother.

Your presence here gives me renewed hope.

We can be friends, Khalil--

- I always thought that was possible, Fouad.

Perhaps with the death of my predecessor,

we might accomplish it.

- Yes.

- He was a man of infinite value.

A visionary.

- Yes.

- Your vision reaches no further than your stomach.

- Oh yeah, this new ambassador.

Khalil Abdul-Musehn, Musil, I don't know.

(speaking in Japanese)

(clapping)

- [General Assembly Speaker] I now invite His Excellency,

Khalil Abdul-Muhsen to address the General Assembly.

- Mr. President.

Recently the world was shocked by the murders

of three men.

Three men who'd come together with the same vision

of how to combat the immutable forces

which seem bent on dragging the world into Holocaust.

One of these men was my predecessor...

And good friend.

The Minister of State from Saudi Arabia, Mahdi Al-Taleb.

I would like to speak for him, and in his memory.

If those who caused his death did so in the belief

that they were destroying the ideals

and principles for which he stood, they were wrong.

His assassination has failed.

Mahdi Al-Taleb worked toward an Arab world united.

Where none should thirst, where none should go naked,

where none should starve.

He worked toward a world where each of our brothers

might rise up each day,

though his home be the desert.

And clothe himself in dignity.

This he worked for, and fought for.

He believed that the cohering principle

of human existence was peace.

And so he was murdered.

His murderers as we all know, sit among us here.

I address you now.

You've failed.

You have destroyed flesh, only that.

That is your triumph and your dilemma.

For how do you kill a dream?

The dreamer, yes.

The dream, never.

The dream survives.

My intention is to give it substance.

I now address all of you, I offer you a reality.

The organization of petroleum exporting countries, OPEC,

was established when we had no other way

to convince the world to take us seriously.

And to combat the oil cartel which has raped

the Middle East for half a century.

We were forced to speak with a corporate voice

and present a unified front.

This voice is now confused.

It speaks in dark places, arranges arms deals,

political, economic blackmails, terrorist raids.

Chooses sides, draws lines, and we lurch towards Holocaust.

My country cries enough.

My country calls for a new

global, social, political contract.

And if that means abandoning OPEC,

we are prepared to do so.

We will enter into partnership with any country

for the research and development of new sources of energy.

I call for a direct dialogue with Israel

so we can create a Palestinian state

with men of good will at a conference table

and not from the debris of exploded villages and human life.

Saudi Arabia will no longer contribute

to the hostility between Arab and Israeli.

- Somebody better throw a net over him.

- I'll give him a month.

A week.

- On November 14th, 1974,

here before the United Nations General Assembly,

a man came out of the holy land

and he said "I come bearing an olive branch,

and a Freedom Fighter's gun."

Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.

I hold neither a symbol nor a gun.

My hands are empty.

They reach out to you.

Which of you will take them?

(clapping)

- A week.

Not my quote.

(clapping)

- One question sir.

Did the state department have previous knowledge

as of the content of your speech?

- No.

- Your Excellence, in the wake of three assassinations,

do you fear for your safety?

- I fear for the safety of all of us.

- [Old Reporter] Your Excellence, please--

- [Frank] Please, no more questions.

(reporters talking over each other)

(police sirens)

- That's right, that's right, get out of here!

- There's a place in The Village called Caruso's.

- Caruso's?

- Mott and Grand.

- Left on second to Houston.

Now there's one, that's a good one.

It's in the color.

That's black, the black ones aren't as bitter.

No black, and light.

- Less seeds.

- That's right, you know.

See, that's a male and that's a female.

- Oh, we better have them both.

- Why not?

No, no, no, it's gotta be something else.

It's in the leavening.

- Stone oven.

- The Iraqi delegate is here to see you.

He is furious.

That's good.

- I forgot the olive oil.

- Very good.

- You could've at least warned us, Khalil.

You seem to have developed a flair for the dramatic.

What's to become of us if Saudi Arabia withdraws?

It would mean the end of OPEC.

- Perhaps the birth of something better?

- What are you up to, Khalil?

- Well, you're coming to the reception tonight?

- [Iraqi Delegate] Yes.

- We may speak then.

- [Iraqi Delegate] But Khalil...

- I've forgotten the olive oil.

(classical violin music)

- Ah, Khalil.

- Ah, later.

- Congratulations.

That was quite a speech.

- Thank you very much.

- Well at the least, at the very least,

it is not OPEC which allows us to say

that we can do this to you

it is the Arab oil boycott.

Isn't that right, Khalil?

- Of course.

- [Black Haired Man] Certainly you weren't serious.

- About what?

- Your speech was Marxist.

- Then you weren't listening.

Pardon me.

- Your Excellency.

I heard your speech, you're marvelous.

- And you were there?

- Of course.

- Ms--

- Khalil, excuse me please.

- Excuse me.

Perhaps we can discuss this later.

What is it?

- The Palestinians will never sit down and talk

with the Israelis, sure you must know that.

- I know it, but I don't understand it.

I don't understand it, Fouad.

Because talk from the barrel of a gun

is a sad and mindless life to choose.

- Not mindless, Khalil.

The Israelis used it and became a state,

and unless you understand that, your politics have no point.

- There is only one point.

These murders must stop.

What is this death wish you have?

- What are you saying, Khalil?

You turn your back on the Palestinians,

you'll withhold your dollars?

They pour in, dollars and guns

from more places than you know.

We will miss Saudi Arabia's support

but we will get along without it.

- Oh, I'm sure you will.

But whenever the communists want the triggers pulled,

they'll make sure you have the guns.

- I'm a Fascist too.

Does that surprise you?

- No, but wait 'til they hand you the bill.

(laughing)

Family.

- Nicole Scott.

Her father is the ex-Ambassador to

the court of St. James's.

- Who's he?

The British attache.

(laughing)

- Uh, phone calls for interviews.

Meet The Press and...

And persistently, something called The Today Show.

- The Today Show?

Well what's that?

- I haven't the foggiest notion.

- [Driver] What do you think of this Arab, Frank?

- Don't like him.

- I haven't seen these men before.

- Fellow Arabians, they arrived last night.

- Why?

- Added security.

- But why?

- Let me just put it this way, sir.

Before your speech at the U.N. you were graded

a C minus risk.

You've been elevated to an A.

That's the reading we get from our intelligence.

- Specifically, from where?

Moscow, for instance?

Iraq?

- All right, yes.

We know the Russians have intensified their

intelligence operations in New York.

They're very busy people.

They've been drinking a lot of coffee with the Iraqis.

- Since my speech.

Tell me something, Mr. Justin.

What do you hear from Washington?

What does your intelligence in London have to say?

- What do you mean?

- Oh, why do you infer that the hostility toward me

only comes from the East?

I thought I was becoming persona non grata everywhere.

- Well, let me just put it this way sir.

You're getting to be a very important man.

- This is delicious.

Very good.

- [Female Reporter] what about women?

- Marvelous.

- I mean, what about Arab women?

- Marvelous.

- But, isn't it true that your women are considered chattel?

- Well, in some respects my country is just

coming out of The Middle Ages.

So we have very little demand for pantyhose.

And that is our women's greatest advantage.

They will lead us to wherever it is they want to take us.

Give them time.

- In your recent speech before the United Nations

you referred to a new, global, socio, political contract,

could you be a bit more specific about that?

- Oh I would prefer to wait two weeks

until my next address at the United Nations.

- Okay.

- [Khalil] Where I will outline the specifics of my plan.

- Is it true Your Excellency that the word children

or child does not exist in the Arabic language?

- Pretty girl.

- [White Shirt Man] Mhm.

The British attache.

- [Justin] This guy here.

- [White Shirt Man] I don't know.

Frank?

- [Frank] I don't know.

You betrayed the Palestinians!

You shall atone to the truth!

You are not an Arab, you are a traitor!

Let me go!

- [Khalil] Enough!

- Don't touch me.

Let me go!

(speaks in foreign language

- It's all your fault. - This is not the way.

It takes time.

- What does it mean?

- Friend.

- The name suits you.

The papers are becoming very interested in you,

did you know that?

They don't know what to make of you.

- What do they say?

- That you're a visionary.

One calls you a fool.

One says you may be a great man.

One calls you a dreamer,

absolutely out of touch with reality.

- What is your opinion?

You took the trouble to read about me.

- Because I don't know who you are.

- I'm exactly what you see.

- I doubt that.

- Good.

(laughing)

(soft piano music)

- Perfect.

- You haven't tasted it yet.

- Sante.

Oh.

- I wanted you to play.

Huh?

- Slow down, okay?

You play too fast.

- Well my father taught me and he never had much time.

Two sixes.

Two sixes.

- I don't believe it.

What--

- That's the same.

- Oh, I see.

Look, I concede okay?

That's five games in a row--

- [Khalil] Six.

- Yeah, six.

I consider myself a good player,

you're very lucky or you cheat.

- I never cheat.

- I had you each time.

I was ahead.

I had you.

- It's the dice.

- Oh no, it's not the dice.

You play too fast, you intimidate me.

- Nicole.

They call it backgammon.

Back game.

It's all in the back game.

- Teach me.

- No, not now.

Now I want to be paid.

- Okay, what do I owe you?

- A hundred a point, that's $2,200.

But I'll settle.

- Oh no.

A gambling debt is a debt of honor.

- That's true, but...

I would much prefer a gift.

- Oh?

- Something that I would never buy myself.

Something that I don't need.

A hat.

- A hat?

- A special kind of hat.

A hat to wear in the sun, you see I miss the sun.

- But it's winter out.

- Not in the Bahamas.

- The Bahamas?

(laughing)

If you're that cold, I'll buy you a blanket.

- Well, there's fantastic blankets in the Bahamas.

Come with me.

Bring this.

I'll teach you how the Arabs play the game.

- Fast.

- Yes, fast.

And to win.

(laughing)

- What?

When?

Yes sir, I'll let him know.

- He's spending the night?

- No.

- Then what?

- Justin, Dedario.

They're going to the Bahamas.

That's right, the Bahamas.

Just for the weekend.

Well, he says he'll be back Monday for the U.N. speech.

Yeah.

Thanks.

- He's speaking at the U.N. again.

- Yep.

- Oh, that's very good.

That's very good.

(loud festival drum music)

- [Nicole] Come on, dance with me.

Come on.

- Hey, how do you like my hat?

(laughing)

(catchy festival drum music)

(relaxing acoustic guitar music)

- Faster.

Faster!

(yelling)

(laughing)

- Hey!

Ooh!

- Everything all right?

- No.

Why'd you stop?

(laughing)

Ah!

Ah!

- Where'd you get that scar?

- Silly fight.

I lost it.

- To a woman?

- Sabra.

In the Six-Day War, she gave it to me on the fifth.

(chuckling)

- How?

- I looked up, she was standing over me with a bayonet.

- Uh huh.

- I said don't.

She did.

- What did you do to her?

- I made her part of my harem.

(laughing)

- You are insane.

- Khalil!

- What about Saudi women?

Are they beautiful?

- Extraordinary.

- [Hamid] Khalil!

- We must go.

(soft acoustic guitar music)

- Thought we came here to buy a hat?

- And also to shake up the world a little bit.

- Did you?

- Yes.

- What soft brown eyes.

(shouting)

- Look, let me find you a good one,

a nice big one just for you.

Here, here, here's one.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(birds chirping)

(helicopter flying overhead)

- Get dressed.

(ominous ambient music)

(gunshots)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(gunshots)

(gunshots)

Give me the gun.

(ominous ambient music)

(speaking in foreign languages)

- [Reporter] A suicide mission.

The dead men are believed

to be Palestinian terrorists.

However, according to the latest information,

a denial has come from--

- And Arafat?

- [Hamid] Arafat denies it was the work

of the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

- No mention of Ms. Scott?

- Only that there was a woman with you.

A mystery woman.

- About 80 minutes out.

Contact New York Center and have them

reroute it to Teterboro,

I got a couple of choppers standing by there.

After the speech we're gonna move him

to the Saudi Embassy.

- Does he know that?

- It was at his request.

- Having saved my life, you now become responsible for it.

You know, it's written that way.

- Where?

- It's part of our culture.

- Where?

- Saudi Arabia.

- It's not Arabian, it's Sioux Indian.

- Indians, Arabians, all men are brothers.

(laughing)

Look after her.

- How do you feel sir, how do you feel?

- Better, thank you.

- How about when they were shooting at you sir?

- Frightened.

- Will yesterday's incident affect

what you're going to say?

- Absolutely not.

(clapping)

(clapping)

- I now invite His Excellency, Khalil Abdul-Muhsen

to address the General Assembly.

- Mr. President.

I've been authorized by my government

to present a fundamental change of policy

with respect to the organization

of petroleum exporting countries.

My government believes that Israel

could make a valuable contribution to OPEC.

Therefore, we propose a partnership

with the State of Israel.

(clapping)

Our partnership born out of need, each to the other.

The Arab nations have the raw materials,

Israel has the most advanced technology

in our part of the world.

We look to the future.

Saudi Arabia has already agreed

to a mutual assistance pact with the State of Israel.

I have been assured by the Israeli government

that they will accept admission into OPEC

as a non-producing member and is an equal partner

if it is offered.

This offer...

This offer will be the subject of the

OPEC meeting next month.

Saudi Arabia is determined to back Israeli acceptance

with all the power at its command.

(clapping)

As a first step...

As a first step...

As a first step towards the Middle East free.

Free of the destructive political and economic influences

which have been exerted upon us by the great powers

of the East and the West.

Influences which have strangled us for centuries.

We stand at the crossroads of human history.
