President George W. Bush:
Many Iraqis can hear me tonight

in a translated broadcast

and I have a message
for them--

The tyrant
will soon be gone.

The day of your liberation
is near.

All the decades
of deceit and cruelty

have now reached an end.

Saddam Hussein and his sons

must leave Iraq
within 48 hours.

Their refusal to do so
will result in military
conflict

commenced at a time
of our choosing.

Events in Iraq
have now reached

the final days
of decision.

Where's mama?
Inside. She's packing.

Why is she packing?
Mama, what are you doing?

We can buy new glasses.

Make sure your mother
and sisters

have money, gold.
And make sure they listen.

They must leave
the country immediately.

Come on, Mustafa,
the suitcases.

Hala, quickly.

Saddam:
But we will not leave Iraq.

We keep moving until
the Americans are defeated.

Yes, Baba.

Now go.

Take care of your
brother, Qusay.

I will.

Mama, they are
not important.
We have to go.

Uday.
Baba.

(cleric chanting)

(pop music playing)

(children playing)

Is that my little mouse?

(laughs)

Are you enjoying
your party?

Saddam.

Ready when you are.

Let's go and find mama.

I'll just be a moment,
Barzan.

This little mousy
belongs to you.

Habibti.
What time will you come?

Soon.

Man:
Mr. Deputy.

Sajida: Children, we are
going to play a game.
Saddam: Let's go, Barzan.

Are they all here?

Yes, everyone's here.

Khomeini has a big mouth.

(people shouting on TV)

Comrades.
Thank you, Hamdani.

(people chanting on TV)

Saddam: Heard enough?
Ali: More than enough.

He's a dog,
son of a bitch.

Bark bark bark
all day long every day.

He's a dog
with teeth, Ali.

Saddam:
Sharp teeth.

We can offer
a hand of friendship

but he will bite it off.
He wants his revolution

to infect
all of the Arab world.

Beginning with
the Iraqi Shia.

Exactly.

And he will become
more and more dangerous

by the day.

Comrades,

time is running out.

America hopes
for a strong Iraq.

The Arab world
demands it.

The Iraqi people
themselves deserve it.

To the revolution.

To the party.

To unity.

To a new Iraq.

To a new Iraq.

Your hair smells good.
I'll be out here.

Mama.

How is the lemonade?

It's too sweet.

Raghad, find Mohammed.

Ask him to join the party.
He's shy.

Yes, bebe.

She's becoming a woman.

She's still my baby.

She should marry
Barzan's son Mohammed.

It will bond the family
closer too.

Mr. Deputy, the president
is about to arrive.

Mama, excuse me.

Mr. President.
Mr. Deputy.

Sajida, you look beautiful.

You're too kind.

Thank you so much
for coming, Mr. President.

Hala will be thrilled.

Not at all.
Thank you for inviting

an old man to a seventh
birthday party.

It is an important
occasion.

Please please, everybody,
please carry on.

Where is
the birthday girl?

I can't see her.
Here she is.

Where?
Where?

Here.
Here.

All I see is
a grown-up princess.

Where is little Hala?

It's me, it's me.
(laughs)

Then this gift
must be yours, princess.

Oh, you're very kind.

What do we say
to the president?

Thank you, Amo Ahmed.

You're welcome, my child.

(all singing
birthday song)

Make a wish, habibti,
and your dreams
will come true.

(all cheering)

Let's leave the women
and children to their games.

We have much to discuss,
Mr. President.

Okay, you must save me
a piece of cake.

Of course I will.

Mr. President.

Please sit down.

There's something
I have to say.

I smell disquiet.

I'm concerned
about Khomeini

and the proposed union
with Syria.

Khomeini continues
to call on our people

to join his revolution

because he knows
we are weak.

This alliance with Syria

will make us weaker still.

Nonsense.
Two Arab peoples

coming together will make
for a strong alliance.

Headed by
the Syrian president.

Assad of Syria will be first
and you will be second.

With Saddam Hussein third?

(laughing)

Is that
your true objection?

I have no objection.

Why object to something
that does not exist

and will never exist?

I will not allow it.

You will not allow it,

Mr. Deputy?

I smell
more than disquiet.

Comrade Bakr, it's over.

Stop.
Say no more.

Saddam,
your time will come.

We are a team,
you and me.

Look at what
we have accomplished.

Look at what you
have accomplished.

Iraq has schools
and hospitals

and food
for all of the people.

For the first time
in our history

their minds are developed
and their bellies are full

because of you and me.

Our country is just beginning
to walk in the world.

This alliance, us--

we will make Iraq stronger.

So...

Do I get
to eat my cake now?

It is over, comrade.

(door opens and closes)

They won't help you.

Either you resign voluntarily
or through force.

Either way you resign.

You have earned
your retirement

and it is the wish
of each of us

that you get
to enjoy it.

(gun clicks)

Adnan Khairallah,

you are my defense minister
and an officer in my army.

Come and stand by my side
and this--

this will be forgotten.

(sighs)

Hamdani, we think alike,
you and me.

Stand by my side.

We'll announce
your retirement

due to ill health

and you will name
your deputy

as your successor.

The Command Council
will never approve it.

You can remain
in the presidential palace

until matters
are resolved.

Comrade.

Baba Hussein al Majid,

my president.

Cousin Ali.

Tariq Aziz.
My president.

Hamdani, my friend.
Mr. President.

(door opens and closes)

So it's done.

You are to be president.

Now you will
need your brothers
more than ever.

Yes, Mama.

And no one must be
allowed to do to you

what you have done
to Al Bakr.

Don't worry, Mama.

I am making Barzan
my head of security.

I'll protect him, Mama.

Let's put you to bed.

Good boy.

Hamdani:
I feel like tomorrow
I will wake up

in a land of progress
and opportunity.

I have ideas

to help build Iraq,

make it ready to take

its rightful place
in the world,

and not just
the Arab world.

We have a lot
of work to do,

me and you.

And I will always be
by your side.

Already I feel different.

Feel empowered?
Yes.

And you like it?

(laughing)
Yes, very much.

Sajida:
What's so funny?

Hamdani likes power.

Yes. What's wrong
with that?

Al Bakr:
It is my view that the man

best qualified
to assume the leadership

is my esteemed deputy

Comrade Saddam Hussein.

Mr. President,
this is absurd.

Now is not the time

to be stepping aside.

We are on the brink
of a new era

in Arab brotherhood.

Comrade Mashhadi,
he has made up his mind.

Well, we must respect
his decision.

Mr. President,

what's going on here?
What is happening?

Please, comrade, please.

I'm very tired.

Then we can only accept
your recommendation

by a unanimous vote.

Very well.
We will have a vote

in our next session.

The members of the council
will need some time

for thoughts
and reflection.

(applause)

Where is Hamdani?
I don't know.

Comrades, it causes me
great pain

that one of my first
duties as president

is to tell you
that we have uncovered

an atrocious plot

against out beloved
Baath party.

(chain jingles)

You can end this now.

Just do what we need
and confirm it.

Saddam:
My pain is not eased
by the fact

that these collaborators

are sitting
amongst us here.

Or things could get worse.

A witness.

Now I want you to imagine

your daughter sitting
where you're sitting.

Imagine.

Since 1975 I have been

part of a Syrian plot

to overthrow both
comrades Saddam and Al Bakr.

(crowd muttering)

When we the conspirators
realized

that Al Bakr
was to step down

in favor of his deputy,

the assumption
of the presidency

by comrade
Saddam Hussein

forced us
to put into action

a plan to remove him.

But as we did so,
we revealed ourselves

and our plans
were uncovered.

Comrades, you can imagine

how stunned I was
to discover

that I had been betrayed
by my closest colleagues.

When the first
of the criminals

were arrested,
I asked them,

"What political differences
are there

"between you and me?

"Did you lack
any power or money?

"And if your opinion
differed

"on anything,

why didn't you
bring it to the party?"

They had nothing to say
to defend themselves.

The people whose names
are read out

should leave the hall.

Mohammed Ayash,

Fuad Abdullah,

Ahmed Amin,

Amjad Hashem,

Qurdi Abdul Baki,

Bader Abdullah...

We have done nothing.
...Ahmed Mukhtar...

We have done nothing.
We're innocent.

...Haidar Jasim...

We're innocent.
...Ali Hussein.

This is all lies.
Go out!

I am innocent.
Out!

Long live Saddam!

Long live Saddam!

Mashhadi.

Fire.

Fire.

Fire.

Fire.

Fire!

Hamdani:
My president,

I came as soon
as I got your message.

Is there something wrong?

Hamdani,

forgive me.

You were always my friend.

I have nothing
to forgive you for.

Mama?

Habibti, what is it?

Baba says
he'll see you now.

Is it true
that I'm promised

to Amo Barzan's Mohammed?
Is it true?

Mohammed is a good boy

and when the time comes

you must be a good daughter,

a good wife.

It's what your
grandmother Subha wants.

He was your friend,
Saddam.

His wife was my friend.

How am I supposed
to face her?

What am I
supposed to tell her?

I did...

what was necessary.

The man who can sacrifice
even his best friend

is a man
without weakness.

In the eyes of my enemies

I am stronger now.

(piano playing quietly)

(Ali chuckles)

Don't speak
unless you're spoken to.

Be respectful
and just listen.

Understand?
Yes.

Hello.
Here come the Al Majids.

No women, gentlemen,
no dancing--

What's the matter with you?
You should be making
the most of life.

Tomorrow we could
all be dead.
(laughs)

You are
a funny man, Ali.

Take a seat, Hussein.

So who saw it coming?

Hamdani.

Saddam.

You didn't know?

Did he tell you why?

Only Saddam knows
what Saddam is thinking.

Only Saddam knows what
we're all thinking.

You believe that?

If Saddam believes it,
that's all that matters.

But Hamdani was the fixer.
He was as good as Saddam's
right hand.

Maybe he has a big mouth.

Maybe he couldn't
handle his whisky.
The two don't mix.

Cousin, I'm simply talking

amongst friends,
amongst family.

Hamdani wasn't family.

Be careful. Nor am I.

Yeah, but you're
a Christian, Tariq.

You're a threat
to no one but yourself.

Hamdani was too clever
for his own good.

He is the past.

Ali:
Tonight, my friends,

I'm getting drunk,
I'm getting laid.

And in the morning
I won't remember a thing

except my loyalty
to our president

who is neither Al Majid
nor Ibrahim,

but half and half.
(laughs)

Go fuck a donkey, go.

(sniggers)

(Ali laughs)

I can't do this.

I loved him like a brother.

Hamdani, he and I
spoke many times,

so many times,

about how we would
put a nation

before our own needs.

Did he ever talk
like that to you?

Yes.

Always.

So I know in my heart

that he
would have understood

that in my place

he would have done
the same.

Wife:
If it is good for Iraq

it is good for me.

He believed in you,
Amo Saddam.

He followed you
in all things.

And so do I.

Tell me

what I and my children

can do to serve you
and Iraq?

(people chanting)
Saddam, Saddam, Saddam!

(women ululating)

(festive music playing)

Uday:
Why can't we go somewhere
where there are bigger animals?

I'm tired of shooting
these birds.

Ali:
You hear that, Saddam?

Your boy wants to shoot
something bigger.

If Qusay was here,
I could shoot him.

One day you'll shoot
a lion, Uday.

This is the middle
of nowhere.

Tikrit is not
the middle of nowhere.
Come.

There's nothing here.

Mr. President.

Okay, you see?

He's yours.

Aim carefully.

Good.

His name is Khomeini.

(gunshot)

(Ali laughing)

Bastard!

Saddam:
Never mind.
Never mind.

When I was a boy,
if I missed

it meant empty bellies
for my family

and a beating
from my stepfather.

Come.

(laughs)
He was a bastard.

(children playing)

I don't know why
we have to come back

to this
godforsaken place.

It's home.

Be careful with that.

And this thing
with the tent--

The entire wealth
of the country is ours,

and what do we do?
We put up a tent.

It's true, Adnan.

What's wrong with going
to London or Paris?

Make him happy, Sajida.

If Saddam is happy,

then it will be
easier for me.

What do you mean?

I don't want him
to rush into war.

He has his sights
set on Khomeini.

Then speak plainly.

As long as my sister
is on my side, I will.

Adnan, he loves you.

You're practically
his brother.

We took him in.
We fed him.

We all grew up together.
He will listen to you.

He is president.

He will listen.

Be good to Subha.

It's hard to believe,
but she still has influence.

Look at her.

She doesn't like
the way I dress.

Can you believe it?

Shh.

(birds squawking)

Look around you, Uday.
Look around.

The land
between two rivers--

the first great
armies and empires

were founded here.

Do you know the first laws
were written here?

We have the birthplace
of civilization
beneath our feet.

And we will make it
great again, you and I.

We are lucky men, Uday.

We have

a land to die for.

Baba, I'm hot.

Have you heard
a word I've said?

You are
your mother's son.

Of course you're hot.

We are in the desert.

Drink some water.

We are hunters.

(speaks Arabic)
Come.

Next time maybe
I'll bring Qusay.

(car horns honking)

(pop song playing)

(woman speaking Arabic)

Ali:
We did well.

Habibi.

Your mother wants
to talk to you.
She's inside.

Isn't that Tariq?
What does he want?

I'll be with her
as soon as I can.
Tell her.

Tariq:
Barzan is already
interrogating him.

An agent of Iran?

No doubt.

Son of a dog.

And in the south

Mohammed Baqr al Sadr
and his Dawa party

have now pledged
open allegiance to Khomeini.

Treason.

Adnan:
I have my army units
at the ready

in case of uprising.

Iraq's army.
Of course.

Mohammed Baqr Sadr
is one man.

It is Khomeini
who is the problem.

Khomeini is a cause.

I struggle to see
any option but military.

Adnan:
We don't want
to appear weak,

but would it be an idea to seek
the views of our allies,

both Arab and western?
If there is to be war,

they will benefit, so why
shouldn't they contribute?

Tariq:
And they would like
to protect

Their supply of oil.
Of course.

Adnan:
Access to information
from the American satellites

would be
a great advantage,

providing we know
our objective.

Our objective is to cut off
the head of the snake.

Excuse me.

So it's war.

I don't understand.
You're holding council

without the people
that really matter--
the Ibrahims.

Mama, we are hunting.
And talking.

Where is Barzan?
Where's Sabawi, Watban?

They're busy.
They should be here.

Ali Hassan al Majid
is here.

He brings his cousin
Hussein.

Who is also my cousin.

Mama, what do you want,
in the name of Allah?

They are eager
to show their loyalty.

They are eager
to make their fortunes.

It is your brother
that should be always here

Beside you at the council.
Half-brother.

And your elder son

has the grace of a pig.

And your wife allows it.

All the way here
he did nothing but break wind.

Uday is a boy, Mama.

What should I do,
beat him

like Barzan's father
did to me,

drive him
away from his home?

You have too much
to say to your mother.

Leave me.
I'm tired.

(pop song playing)

(woman speaking Arabic)

And cut!

Very good, impressive.
Is that what it was
really like?

Well, in reality
that would have hurt.

The film will
cover the early life
of our president

when he was fighting
for a free Iraq.

It's for the people,
for the purposes of morale.

Saddam.
Amo, what an honor.

You did well.
Thank you.

These gentlemen
are from "Time Magazine."

Saddam Kamel.

Remarkable resemblance,
don't you think?

You're cousins, right?

That is correct.

Saddam Kamel
is my brother.

And you're Saddam
and you're Hussein.

We have a lot
to live up to.

Unbelievable.

Saddam:
We want to have good
relations with the U.S.

We want people in America
to understand

what has happened
inside Iraq.

And is there
opposition to the war

from the Shia
in your own country,
Mr. President?

Ask the people directly.
Go into their homes.

See their love
for their country.

And for their president.

No one forces them
to put the pictures

of Saddam Hussein
on their walls.

Still, they choose
to do that.

Is it true that the war
is going to bankrupt
the economy?

These stories are lies.

Speak to the people.

Ask them if they want
for anything.

And what of reports
of Iran's military success,

forcing Iraqi troops
back to the borders?

Recently Iran has been
receiving foreign assistance.

But what about--?

Iraq is a country
of principle.

We are fighting
a man of superficiality.

Principle will be
the victor.

Do you think that--?
Now, gentlemen,

we have something special
to show you.

Excellent.

You have worked
very hard.

The children enjoy it,
Amo, very much.

Tell me,

how many of you

have fathers or brothers
in the army?

Oh.

Good.
You should be proud.

This girl looks like
my own daughter Hala.

She's very pretty.

Tell me,
when you are at home

with Papa and Mama,

what does Baba say
about Amo Saddam?

Anything at all?

Baba says,

"Long live Amo Saddam."

Beautiful.
Thank you.

(laughs)

Please.

Slow down.

I hope you have enjoyed
your visit

as much as I have, Amo.

It would be wonderful

if you could
visit us again soon.

I would like that.

I'll arrange it.

(classical music playing)

Ali:
Hussein is a good boy,
a good soldier.

He'd never let you down.
He's loyal.

Yes, I like him.
I'm pleased for the family.

Kamel Hanna.
Yes, your excellency?

Ask the lady to join us,
Yes.

Hussein, stand on your head

for the president.

(laughs)

He would do it.

For you
he would do anything.

(both laugh)

Is that her?

She is pretty.

She is married.
So what?

Mr. President,
we are honored.

And I'm honored
you're honored.

Please.

You look beautiful.

Sit here next to me.

Thank you.

May I just--?

So I can see you.

And I you.

(chuckles)
Thank you for coming.

We are honored.

Yes, you said.

May I say that your wife
is very beautiful?

You must love her
very much.

I do.

I think our president

likes her.

She's my wife.

Beautiful.

I'd really do nothing
if I were you.

There will be compensation.

(news jingle playing)

Why am I reading
of Iranian successes
on the battlefield?

Barzan:
You would have been
informed.

What else has been
hidden from me?

Were you hiding it
from me, Barzan?

No.

No, a report
has been prepared.

Why did we fail
at Al-Muhammarah?

Adnan:
We were taking
too many casualties

and a withdrawal
was ordered.

So our soldiers refused
to die for their country?

It was becoming a massacre,
Mr. President.

It was a tactical decision

to fall back and regroup.

It was a coward's decision,
General Khairallah.

I want Colonel
Ahmad al Dulaimi

and general Jawad Shiatna
executed.

Adnan:
They are two of our best.

Their decision was
purely tactical.

The Iraqi Army

does not retreat.

Do you understand?

Barzan, summon
the commanders in question

and oversee their
execution immediately.

Hussein, come with me.

Stand for the president.

Hussein is like Saddam's
Siamese fucking twin.

He's doing his job,
Barzan, nothing more.

Yeah, he's doing something.

How is she?

Barzan's with her.

She's very weak.

Mama.

Barzan,

leave us.

I want to talk
to Saddam.

Your strength

is in the family.

Blood is permanent.

I want Raghad

to marry Barzan's boy.

I want you to keep
the family together,

my family.

Mama, why are you
talking like this?

Keep Barzan close.

He was always
loyal to you,

even when he was little.

You should--

you should rest, Mama.

It is a good thing

that you never knew
your father.

He was bad blood.

(wheezing)

You...

gave me nothing.

(people praying in unison)

(cleric chanting a prayer)

Saddam, she was
proud of you

and of our strength
as a family.

As I am.

You should know, Barzan,

it was her wish
before she died

that Raghad
should marry Hussein.

No, Raghad
has been promised

to my son Mohammed
for years.

It was her wish.

No.

She thought it was time

to recognize
my father's family.

She said that?

Saddam, I've been
loyal to you always,

and now this insult,
not just to me

but to all the Ibrahims.

Please think of my honor.

(people chattering)

Hussein, the driver
of this truck

is to be arrested.

Those coffins
should be covered.

Mothers and wives
do not need

to be reminded
of their sacrifice.

Everything in the city
is to be normal.

Shouldn't we also be thinking
of other towns and cities?

Our soldiers
come from all over.

What about the wives
and mothers of Mosul,

Basra, Dukail?

Victory will
heal everything.

Yes, victory will bring
rewards for all.

These places belong
to the Shia.

You have to go to them,
let them see you.

The war is casting a shadow

only you can lift.

(crowd cheering)

(horns honking)

Saddam:
O, great Iraqi people,

O, glorious masses
of the Arab nations,

we will have justice.

We will have victory
over Khomeini.

Just as our nation were once
the invaders of the past,

so we will crush Khomeini
in this second...

no one has sacrificed
more than your brothers,

but the 39,000 people
of Dukail

are loyal
to the country,

to the party

and to Saddam Hussein!

(car horns honking)

Yes, Saddam, yes!
Yes, Saddam, yes!

(tires screeching)

(gunfire)

(people yelling)

Are you injured,
Mr. President?

They tried to kill me.
They tried to kill me.

We need to get you
out of here.

No, we must go back
to Dukail.

Now. Now!

These few shots

won't frighten
the people of Iraq

and they won't frighten
Saddam Hussein.

We will find
the assassins

and, I swear on my honor,

we will have justice,

we will have victory

over these agents
of Khomeini.

(crowd cheering)

My men are making
arrests already.

Hussein, how many
rounds of ammunition

were fired
at my cars?

My estimate is
in excess of 300.

300 rounds.

I am not immortal.

All it takes
is one bullet--

one bullet.

Yet these traitors were given
300 opportunities to kill me.

Yes, and they will be found
and punished.

I hear you are the second
most powerful man

in Iraq, Barzan.

Some might say
you have the most to gain

from my assassination.

No. No.

No one is
more loyal than me.

Saddam, I am your brother.

I will do my duty.

I will find the traitors.

I promise.

(low rumbling)

(large engine revving)

(people screaming)

( rapid gunfire )
Tear it all down--
everything!

I want everything
destroyed!

Every house, every brick--

everything destroyed,

crushed!

Leave nothing standing!

Get rid of it all!

Separate the men
from the women.

(festive music playing)

Beautiful.

You look simply beautiful.

Paris is beautiful.

Who's the blond?

Just some friend
of Tariq's.

Barzan, you look worried.

He couldn't find
a donkey.

That's a good one.

I want you to know

I would only trust
the happiness of my daughter

to a man who owes me
everything.

Hussein is such a man.

He will be
a good husband.

Okay, habibti?

(door opens)

Mr. President, I have things
that need to be said.

It's done.

I have carried out
your orders to the letter.

Dujail is gone.

And it's my wedding gift
to you.

Raghad, please.

The traitors, their families,

their associates-- all gone.

I know.

I'm ready to serve
my president, my brother.

From now on, Barzan,

Hussein will be responsible
for my personal security.

He will be my son.

I trust him.

We will talk more later.

No. Why are you
insulting me this way?

I have been loyal to you.

I have done everything
that you asked of me.

I even accepted
this wedding.

Saddam, by continuing
to favor the Al Majid,

you are surrounding yourself
with weakness.

They are not interested
in Iraq.

Know your place, Barzan.

They are my blood,
you understand?

And I know a traitor
before he knows himself.

I have given you my soul.

You will
attend the wedding

and then
you will leave Iraq.

(ululating)

Watch this, Qusay.

Cool, eh?
