Quotes 

• Fara Sherazi : I managed to source all the accounts on the laptop. There weren't that many. And the documents in the briefcase, too.

  Saul Berenson : And?

  Fara Sherazi : Nothing originates in Iran.

  Saul Berenson : Let me know when you find something that does.

  Fara Sherazi : [as he leaves]  Sir?

  [as he returns] 

  Fara Sherazi : I'm not sure what you expect me to do. I've looked at all the accounts like you asked. There's nothing there.

  Saul Berenson : You know what you're here for?

  Fara Sherazi : To examine the bank records.

  Saul Berenson : You're following the money. From Hong Kong London Bank to this guy. Here. Majid Javadi. The Iranian who funded the attack on this agency that ocurred on 12/12.

  Fara Sherazi : I know.

  Saul Berenson : Good. So do that. And you know what else? While we're talking about an event that left 200 Americans dead on the ground... what you're doing about it, which is apparently nothing... forgive me. You wearing that thing on your head is one big "fuck you" to the people who would've been your coworkers, except they perished in a blast right out there. So if you need to wear it, if you really need to, which is your right, you'd better be the best analyst we've ever seen, and don't tell me there's nothing. Give me a plan. Give me a god damn plan or don't say anything.

• Saul Berenson : They're all here? The records?

  Fara Sherazi : Seem to be.

  Saul Berenson : So what'd they give us?

  Fara Sherazi : Everything. HLBC basically ignored the cease and desist order, just like we said. They stopped dealing with Al-Askari Bank, but they continued with the trading company. In fact, the number of transactions increased, especially toward the date of the explosion.

  Saul Berenson : Know who all was involved?

  Fara Sherazi : We're getting there. On the receiving end, we've already identified half a dozen known associates of Abu Nazir.

  Saul Berenson : What about this source?

  Fara Sherazi : We're still putting names to the transactions, but it's all pointing to Iran. Not just the country. Inside the government. So, why did they suddenly decide to cooperate?

  Saul Berenson : I'm not sure we want to know.

• Saul Berenson : What is this?

  Fara Sherazi : Something I noticed when I was reconciling the accounts horizontally. All the Iranian funds had 20% stripped off by our banker friends, the standard fee for prohibited transactions. But a quarter of that disappeared.

  Saul Berenson : To where?

  Fara Sherazi : I don't know yet. Just seems to have vanished. All I know is it was not retained by their bank.

  Saul Berenson : Find it. Find out where it went.

  Fara Sherazi : I'm trying.

  Saul Berenson : Make it your number one priority. That right there, that's our key. Almost 45 million.

  [taking the paper off the board] 

  Saul Berenson : Fara?

  Fara Sherazi : Yes, sir?

  Saul Berenson : [handing the paper to her]  Keep it between us for the time being.
