Eng Norman

1
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,752
NORMAN: Okay, my idea is, we find someone
like a Jo Wilf, or an Arthur Taub

2
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:48,072
and we get them to buy about
$300 million of debt

3
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,475
and then pay 80-90 cents on the dollar.

4
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,232
And let's say it's Jo Wilf,
he walks away with $30-40 million.

5
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,916
This is good.
I've thought it through, I know.

6
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,196
I just got to find someone
who can actually do this.

7
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,629
I take my seven percent.
You set it up, you get a finder's fee...

8
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,319
It's a lot of money.

9
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,914
And everybody wins.

10
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,839
Isn't this the scale?

11
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,879
The kind of deal that
Jo Wilf is looking for right now?

12
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,876
Yeah...

13
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,710
Yes, but I don't have direct contact
with Wilf. You know that, right?

14
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,553
Yeah, but you have friends there. Don't you?

15
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,679
I mean, this is your circle, right?

16
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,830
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

17
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,349
Yeah. Bill Kavish. You know him?

18
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,954
He works for Wilf. He is a friend.

19
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,032
- Yeah.
- Do you know his name?

20
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,440
- Maybe.
- You know his family.

21
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,715
His father was Henry Kavish.

22
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,753
You remember him?
He got into some kind of trouble.

23
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,190
Oh, yeah.

24
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,715
He was caught taking some money.

25
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,235
I don't know exactly
what happened there, but...

26
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,950
He was fired.

27
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,199
His wife left him.
Kids turned their backs on him.

28
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,150
He died alone and penniless.

29
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,713
- Bill is his youngest son.
- Introduce me to Bill.

30
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,314
I can give you his e-mail,

31
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,279
but I prefer not to send
a formal introduction, you know?

32
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,078
We represent clients
that do business with them...

33
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,152
I don't want to look like
I'm asking him for a favor.

34
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,390
Can I say that we're related?

35
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,759
- Can I say that I'm your uncle?
- No.

36
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:40,391
No. No. Don't make it a family thing.
It doesn't sound good.

37
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,550
Uh...

38
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,072
It might not be a good idea
to mention my name.

39
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,276
Okay, you can say you know me.

40
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,555
Yeah, but please don't tell him
you got his address from me.

41
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:55,910
- Okay?
- Yeah.

42
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,755
Look, I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.
It's tough.

43
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,594
You're like a drowning man
trying to wave at an ocean liner.

44
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,754
Jo Wilf is an ocean liner.
He doesn't see any of us. (CHUCKLES)

But I'm a good swimmer.

46
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:13,070
- Yeah.
- Don't forget that.

51
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,954
What the fuck? Are you stalking me now?

52
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,918
No, I just need
a couple of minutes of your time.

53
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,150
I know you're busy.

54
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,230
Philip Cohen might have mentioned me.

55
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,879
No. This is my private time.

56
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,992
Please respect that. Call the office.

57
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,360
Does Philip know you're here?

58
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,876
- How did you even find me?
- It's just a business opportunity.

59
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,555
Look, I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't time-sensitive. Let me explain.

60
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,994
- Give me one minute.
- No.

61
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,518
A very high official...
I can't mention his name right now.

62
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,071
Made me an offer
to sell his country's tax receivables

63
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,753
to a third party for 80 cents
on the dollar...

64
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:21,514
Excuse me. I have to leave.
This is unacceptable, please.

65
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,791
Bill. Bill, no, I wouldn't be doing this
if I didn't think it was worth Jo's time.

66
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,835
Don't trust me, trust Philip.

67
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,836
Good things come in surprising ways.
You never know.

68
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,240
You never know, right?

69
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,996
I mean, what, worse comes to worse,
he kicks me out the door.

70
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,072
No! Worse comes to worse,
he kicks me out the door.

71
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,595
It is my job to keep people like you away.
Don't you get that?

72
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,990
- Yes.
- So please, respect my position.

73
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,350
Stop.

74
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,870
Please.

75
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,952
I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say.

76
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,236
So I'll tell my partners
that we had a good conversation.

77
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,115
And we'll see what happens. Okay?

78
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,550
Thank you, Bill.

79
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,193
NORMAN: It's not just about this one deal.

80
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:27,910
It's about connecting to people
at the level of Wilf or Taub.

81
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,153
PHILIP: If only it were that easy.

82
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,196
NORMAN: Look,
I'm meeting a very high Israeli official

83
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:34,760
at a conference later today.

84
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,759
All I need is to get my Israeli
in a room with one of these guys.

85
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,356
PHILIP: I don't know if he would get involved
in a political situation.

86
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,557

Some of them are married to Russian women.

90
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:23,800
But it should be a real contact
without a drop of arrogance.

91

MODERATOR: Well, suppose someone says
you can't trust them.

92
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,957
You would say it is not a matter of trust
but one of national interest?

93
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,949
RON: There is clearly a problem.

94
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,593
Is America pushing Russia

95
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,833
away from the West
and into the arms of China?

96
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,160
Some natural gas experts
in this room will say

97
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,474
that's exactly what they are doing

98
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,358
by encouraging a pipeline
between Israel and Turkey.

99
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:55,433
But as I always say,
when dealing with global interests,

100
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,238
we shouldn't be playing backgammon,

And then she ended up working for him,
years later.

NORMAN: She used to, yes. She passed away.

169
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:09,194
Oh, I'm sorry.

170
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,596
It was years ago.

171
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:13,240
But she was very close to Arthur.

172
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,757
And I would be beyond happy
if you were to join me tonight.

173
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,160
He is someone you should meet.

174
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,078
Yeah, I know. I've been hearing his name
from a few different people recently.

175
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,560
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

176
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,560
What's he like?

177
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,994
There are two kinds of moguls.

178
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,712
First kind is like a big ocean liner ship.

179
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,037
Makes a lot of waves, a lot of noise,
everybody sees it coming from miles away.

180
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,480
Like Jo Wilf.

181
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,153
I think your boss,
Minister Maor, is actually...

182
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,153
- In his close circle of friends, of course.
- Yeah. Mmm.

183
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,876
And then, there is Arthur.

184
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,669
Well, Arthur is more
like a nuclear submarine.

185
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,073
He's quiet. He's fast. He's young.

186
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,512
- Extremely sophisticated.
- Mmm.

187
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:03,359
- Interesting.
- Yeah, he's a very interesting fellow.

188
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,558
He likes to surround himself with consultants

189
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,429
who are in influential
political positions, you know.

190
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,675
And he's very good at compensating
his consultants. He's...

191
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,954
Yeah, well, maybe I'll have
my office contact him.

192
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,237
We'll see. I'm not a private person,
you know. Not yet, anyway. So...

193
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:31,158
Yeah, if you have any trouble reaching him,
please, I'd be happy to help you.

194

195

How can I reach you?

196
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,117

SALESMAN: Please do.

198
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,233
Well, take this away from me
before I get used to it.

199
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,831
There is one rule
every Israeli politician learns

200
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,513
in the beginning of his career.

201
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,196
You cannot wear a suit that costs
more than an ordinary man's car.

202
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,680
But what if you didn't know what it costs?

203
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,160
I do. It's too late.

204
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,553
Israelis don't like to see
their representatives enjoying themselves.

205
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,790
I'm sorry for wasting your time.

206
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,355
- At least take the shoes.
- No, enough. I don't want them.

207
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Let me buy you the shoes.

208
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,754
It would be my privilege
to buy you these shoes.

- If it makes an Israeli leader feel good,

210
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,749
it's the least that I can do.

211
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,071
- I can't...
- No. No. Come on.

212
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,035
Just put them on one more time.
Would you do that?

213
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,190

214
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,877

- We'll take them.
- SALESMAN: Uh-huh.

I don't want you
walking out of here empty-handed.

219
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,631
- Here.
- No, no, no. I can't let you pay.

220
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,394
- If I take the shoes, I have to pay for it.
- You don't have to. It's done.

- SALESMAN: Thank you.

228
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,600
ESHEL:
Jesus. I just realized I'm terribly late.

229
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:41,670
I have to run.

230
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,960
- But I'm glad I bumped into you.
- (BOTH LAUGH)

231
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,474
- My pleasure.
- Yeah.

Here, take some chocolates.
They're really delicious.

233
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,070

One bite, I could drop dead. So...

234
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,434
- Specifically cashews?
- Peanuts, actually. Peanuts.

235
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,797
But this is the one area I don't take
any risks. But thanks for offering.

236
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,793
- Wait a minute. This could really kill you?
- Yeah, yeah.

237
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,039

239
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,391
Look, if there's even
a smallest trace of a peanut,

240
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,473
my throat closes up, so I can't breathe.

241

- You just spoke to him now?

00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,199
Yes. I just spoke to him.

341
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,840
Yeah, he's on his way.

342
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:16,589
And how do you know Mr. Eshel?

343
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:23,036
Well, actually I'm helping him out
with some of his American alliances.

344
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:27,512
He... He's got very interesting ideas
that he's trying to promote right now.

345
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,991
For instance, the tax money
that Israel is withholding.

346
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,196
- Mmm.
- Well, he has this

347
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,430
genius idea for a third party

348
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,752
- to buy the tax receivables...
- And just so I understand,

349
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,993
Mr. Eshel asked you to ask me
if he can come tonight?

350
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,914
Well, no, I... I told him

351
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,640
about the amazing work
that you have been doing,

352
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,030
you know, especially with the...

353
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:49,759
The cancer research fund in Israel.

354
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,957
And he was so appreciative.

355
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,631
You do realize that this is
an intimate dinner?

356
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,040
Absolutely. Yes.

357
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,230
And that this is my house.

358
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:04,317
- This is my private home.

Now, you can't just walk in it
and sit at my table.

Now I was happy to include Mr. Eshel,

362
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,074
even though I did find it a bit odd
that he would invite himself to a dinner

363
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,560
through someone I don't actually know...

364
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,716
- No. No. We met.
- But,

365
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,156
if he isn't here,
the invitation is not up for grabs.

366
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,835
- I... He's actually going to be here though.
- You understand that, right?

367
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,991
He... He's... I promise you,
he's going to be here very soon.

368
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,673
Okay, well, I'll tell you what.

369
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,513
Why don't you wait for him outside

370
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,593
and when he arrives, I promise you
we will make him feel very comfortable.

371
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,550
You want me to wait outside?

372
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:36,998
That would be great. Thanks.

373
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,349
Um, okay. That's fine. That's fine.

You were in Arthur Taub's house?

Yeah. I took Micha Eshel with me.

Can I introduce you to him sometime?

00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,919
We need to understand
how this incredible force

511
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,596
unites around the issues
that are important to the Jewish people.

512
00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,875
And the world.

513
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,110
- Thank you very much.
- No, no, no. Stay with us.

514
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,113
- Congressman Bob Easterly.
- Hello, Bob. How are you?

515
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,429
Do you know Norman Oppenheimer?

516
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,230
No, I don't. Nice to meet you, Norman.
This is my wife, Joyce.

517
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,277
- Nice to meet you.
- Very nice meeting you, too.

518
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,750
This is my nephew, Philip Cohen.

519
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,034
I think he is the youngest partner
at Frankle, Zell, Gould and Rudoff

520
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,998
in New York. Right?

521
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,514
- Well, one of the youngest.
- I'm sorry, sorry.

522
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:22,636
ESHEL: Nice to meet you, Philip.

523
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:25,519
- We represented Toby Tabatchnik, I think.
- Yeah, yeah, Toby, Toby. Yes.

524
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,432
Yeah, Toby. Toby. He married a Solomon.

525
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,512
Beth. Charlie Solomon's daughter.

00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,634
Good to see you, this is my nephew.

to help Israeli businesses

00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,355
communicate with the World Bank
here in Washington.

531
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,272
- My wife, Rita...
- Nice to meet you, Norman.

532
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,955
I'm with the JDC,
Joint Distribution Committee.

533
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,918
Her brother is the chief rabbi of Rome...

534
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,799
- Rabbi Ariel De La Pelgula.
- Nice to meet you, Mr. Oppenheimer.

535
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,952
- Please, meet Luis Pascual.
- Very pleased to meet you, Mr. Oppenheimer.

536
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,394
Luis is a Spanish Parliament member.

537
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,352
You know my friend, and lawyer, Philip...

538
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,278
They all come together through Jo Wilf

539
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,756
who is very close to
Rabbi De La Pelgula's family

540
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,194
and of course through him to the Pope...

541
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,436
Amos Chertoff.

542
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,190
Messianic Jewish Alliance of America.
Very pleased to meet you.

543
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,875
I want you to meet a relative of mine,
Norman Oppenheimer.

544
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,555
Norman, this is Jo Wilf.

545
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,715
- Norman is close with Eshel.
- Close, huh?

546
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:26,959
How close is close?

547
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:28,556
"Close" close...

548
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,474
- God personally touched me.
- Listen, how come I don't know you?

549
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:32,880
I know every Oppenheimer in the world.

550
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,759
There's a lot of ideas out there
that are not biblical.

551
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,035
Do you know Steve Goldfarb?

552
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,760
For us at the NJF,
it's all pretty simple and straightforward.

553
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,672
The rule of law. Free and fair elections.

554
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,831
- Meet Sister Agnes.
- Nice to meet you, Norman.

555
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,277
This is Norman Oppenheimer,
a very close friend of Prime Minister Eshel.

556
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:48,800
AGNES: We're the only organization
that's doing...

557
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:49,836
Uh, uh, gay rights.

558
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,957
...what James, the Lord's brother,
said to do...

559
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,350
GIL: The goal is to encourage
positive views of Israel.

560
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,556
Have you met Barbara Klein?

561
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,360
I work with Peter Black
at a hedge fund called Sand...

562
00:41:58,440 --> 00:41:59,556
Our mission is to make sure

563
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,791
that New York
doesn't turn into New Havana. (LAUGHS)

564
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,193
Introduce me to Ariel-what's-his-name.
I saw you talking to him.

565
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:06,794
- We get you what you want...
- ...and we get what we need.

566
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:07,956
But everything has to be public.

567
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,190
Next time the Pope is in New York,

568
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,670
there's no reason the only rabbi he sees
is Alan Schweitzer!

569
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,229
Maybe there's something
we have to talk about.

570
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,152
Oh, Bill? Bill.

571
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:18,357
- Be sure we get in touch with Norm...
- Is this a cell?

572
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,239
- Do you have an office?
- ...with Mr. Oppenheimer.

573
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,118
No, but if I want to come visit you,
where would I go?

574
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,272
Startup State doesn't have an address.
That's the point.

575
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:27,714
- It's abstract.
- We're losing the building,

576
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,918
- that's what's going on.
- That rabbi you spoke with. Blumenthal.

577
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,992
Is he, uh, friendly?

578
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,074
Do you think he could help
with Nicole's conversion?

579
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,753
Something physical has to hold us together...

580
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,878
Evidently, there hasn't been a feature film
that's been seductive about Israel

581
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,397
since Exodus, so we're working on
a romantic comedy set in Israel...

582
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,837
Please, don't speak to anyone
on behalf of the Prime Minister.

583
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,235
If he asks you for something,

584
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,040
it is very important that you speak to me
or with Hanna first.

585
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,396
I'm so happy to finally meet you in person.

586
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,551
Feel free to call me.
That's what I'm here for.

587
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,997
My son, Davidy, he wants to go to
Harvard Business School.

588
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,470
He doesn't have the grades,
but he has good instincts,

589
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,313
- believe me, like his mother.
- His grades are good.

590
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,393
But he missed some of his exams
because he had to go to miluim.

591
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,751
You know what miluim is?
It's an Army service.

592
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,320
- ...a few tips.
- What can we do?

593
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,920
- We live in a tough neighborhood.
- To understand

594
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,037
- what they are looking for...
- But he's an excellent student.

595
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,759
Don't worry, all his calls go through me.

596
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,513
So don't use any of the old numbers.

597
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,273
- Thank you, Norman.
- Thank you.

598
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,079
- Thank you.
- Any time.

00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,237

00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:24,436

- Yeah.

00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,196
So what brought you to the convention?

609
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,240
I work in the legal department of the
Israeli consulate in New York.

- Really? No kidding.
- Mmm.

611
00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:21,157
You're Israeli?
That's funny, you don't sound Israeli.

- I'm not.
- Oh.

00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,673
Where is your family from?

614
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,080
Excuse me?

615
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,598
Where are you from? Where were you born?
How did you end up here? You know.

616
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,834
Um, I'm from Geneva. Originally.

No.

620
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,591
No? Well, he's a big supporter
of the Israel Museum.

621
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,516
Could I introduce you to him some time?

622
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,638
You want to sit here?

623
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:58,472

I'm not gonna bother you. I promise.

It's all right.

626
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,635
What is it you actually deal with?

627
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,793
Like commerce agreements or...

628
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,917
That's a different department.

629
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,550
We're an arm of the Israeli Justice Ministry
in the United States.

630
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:36,673
Oh. Okay, so if an Israeli criminal
flees to the U.S.,

631
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,150
it's your job to bring him back?

- We would be involved in that, yeah.
- Yeah.

633

The same if an American criminal
tries to hide out in Israel.

00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,274
Yeah, that, too.

635
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,314
You must have some
really interesting stories.

636
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,037
Like, you know, those Russian oligarchs.

637
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,079
They're wanted all over the world,
but they're looking for asylum in Israel.

638
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,437
Can you give me the inside story
on how that whole thing works?

639
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,150
Sorry.

Do you know Carol Raskin?

641
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,951
You know, I may be wrong about this,
but I think she's actually the one who wrote

642
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,396
a lot of those international treaties
they're talking about.

643
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,870
She's a very close friend of mine.

I'd be very happy to introduce you to her.

645

No, no, no. That's not necessary.

646
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:30,954
I wouldn't want to bother her.

647
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,953
You have a family? Kids?

648
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:43,913
- Family?
- I'm sorry. What?

649
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,071
Do you have a family? Kids?

650
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:51,434
A partner.

651
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:56,359
You're a lesbian?

652
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,792
- Yeah?
- (CHUCKLES) Yes. I am.

00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,512
That's great! Good for you. That's terrific.

- What is?
- No, it's just wonderful.

656
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,638
I love that, when people know what they want.

00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,319
You know, and they just... (BLOWS)

658
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,834
No, it's a good thing.

659
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,152
I have a very close friend, a rabbi,
professor Nathaniel Lewis,

660
00:47:15,240 --> 00:47:16,879
he teaches at JTS.

661
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:21,193
His daughter started a
Jewish lesbian organization.

662
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,397
Abigail Lewis. Do you know her?

00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:24,516
No.

664
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,274
No? No? She's a... You would love her.

665
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:28,999
She's a wonderful, wonderful person.

666
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,549
I'd be happy to put the two of you together.

Look, it's the third time in five minutes

668
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:40,440
that you've tried to introduce me to someone.

669
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,994
Why are you trying to get me to meet people?

670
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,673
Do I look lonely?

671
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,355
Look, I'm sorry.
I didn't want to embarrass you.

672
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,432
If I did that, I apologize.

673
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,955
I appreciate you trying to help connect me.

674
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,475
It's just that I don't need,
uh, connections now.

675
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,514
Okay. So what do you need?

676
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,920
- What do I need?

worked and campaigned just as hard as I did,

he's got a singular message

00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,029
- State Department?
- Yes.

850
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,600
And if Eshel can help us with that,

851
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,717
we'll see what we can do
about your synagogue situation.

852
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:46,756
All right, I got it.

853
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:48,274
Hanna, Hanna, please,

854
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,750
just give me a minute with him on the phone.
One minute.

855
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,674
I'm sorry, Norman. The Prime Minister
is not available to speak right now.

856
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,037
Look, Hanna, this is a special request.

857
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,510
The Prime Minister asked me
to look into it, okay?

858
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,831
These are just very busy days for us.

859
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,118
Unfortunately, I can't be more specific,
but I'm sure you understand.

860
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,396
I understand, of course I understand.

861
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,278
All right. All right, all right, all right.

862
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:11,589
Please tell the Prime Minister

863
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,876
it would be great
if we had a short conversation

864
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,431
about a certain individual
who's on the board of the dean's advisory

865
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,000
at Harvard Business School.

866
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,432
Okay, Norman. Thank you.

867
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,352
No, no. Thank you, Hanna.
Thank you very much.

868
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,352
You can go back to your
very important work right now.

869
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,636
I know, I'm sorry for interrupting you.

870
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,360
And you're doing a great job.
I mean that, a really great job.

871
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:31,709
- Thanks.
- The prime minister appreciates it.

872
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:33,712
Just don't forget me.

873
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:34,790
(HANNA AND DUBY SPEAKING IN HEBREW)

874
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,075
HANNA: What do I do with him?

875
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,676
DUBY: Norman does not get past you.
No matter what.

876
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,155
If he gets obsessive...

877
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,199
...take his call once every few days
so he doesn't get paranoid.

878
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,397
HANNA: Do you think the PM
asked him for something?

879
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,751
Isn't Davidy applying to Harvard?

880
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:48,796
I don't care.

881
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,234
Don't worry about Norman.

882
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:55,600
In his head, he just had a conversation
with the Prime Minister of Israel.

883
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,480
Yeah, I got a call
with Eshel this evening, but,

884
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,519
you know, I brought it up with his main man,
Duby already.

885
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,717
I think it's going to be okay. He's...

886
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,712
He's being very practical about things.

887
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,918
He says he can fix it,
but he wants the exact information,

888
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,674
so if you can send me an email
with your colleague's name please...

889
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,276
No. No e-mails, Norman.
His name is Matthias Kone.

890
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,757
He is an official in the treasury department
in the Ivory Coast.

891
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:20,832
Eshel's office will need to reach out to him.

892
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:22,673
We are not involved.

893
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:24,955
Rabbi! It's Norman.

894
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,600
I know, I've been calling you all morning.
Why don't you answer your phone?

895
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,319
I'm answering now.
Do you want to hear what I have to say?

896
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,312
Yeah. You spoke to him? What did he say?

897
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,234
Let's just say, get ready for a big surprise.

898
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,516
How many zeros
are at the end of this surprise?

899
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,114
- Can you tell me that at least?
- Come on.

900
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,199
A considerable surprise. That's it.

901
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:42,316
I gotta go, Rabbi.

902
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,790
No, no, Norman, you realize
how important this is, right?

903
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:46,200
We are going to get kicked out of here.

904
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,636
You need to give us a firm answer.
No games, Norman.

905
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:49,995
- Hold on. Hold...
- No time for...

906
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,150
I can't hear a word you're saying.

907
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:52,720

908
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,633
God damn it!

909
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:57,677
How is the rabbi
connected to this again, Norman?

910
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,519
Remind me. Why am I doing this?

911
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,195
Do you want Rabbi Blumenthal
to marry you or not?

912
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,233
All you have to do is you pick up the phone,

913
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:09,030
call one of your buddies at Harvard
on behalf of the Prime Minister of Israel.

914
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:10,992
Is that really so difficult for you?

915
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:14,830
Don't belittle what I'm doing, okay?
In the world of Harvard admissions,

916
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,431
this is the biggest no-no in the book.
It's like incest. It's taboo.

917
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:22,116
That's funny, because Rabbi Blumenthal
is going to think exactly the same thing

918
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,477
when he finds out I'm asking him
to marry a Cohen and a convert,

919
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,155
who hasn't even officially converted.

920
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:29,516
(WHISPERS) Oh, fuck.

921
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,953
Jo, something very, very big is going on.

922
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,960
I can't be more specific than that,
but if you saw the papers this morning,

923
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,713
you're gonna have some idea
what I'm talking about...

924
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,269
I'm not following you, Norman.
Did you speak to him or not?

925
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,916
No, but I'm going to read
the latest message I got from Hanna.

926
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,070
Who is Hanna?

929
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,632
- BILL: Who's Duby?
- Well, that's what I'm trying to explain.

930
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,919
(STUTTERING) Look, Eshel and Duby are now at
the national security committee as we speak,

931
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:07,992
but there's no way
that I'm going to be able to get to them.

932
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,636
Hanna, on the other hand,
is just outside that closed door.

933
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,632
- She's gonna help us...
- Norman, cut the bullshit!

934
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:16,999
When you get Eshel on the phone
then call me back when he says yes to you!

935
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:18,355
Until then don't waste my time!

936
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,119
Yeah, Jo, but this is time-sensitive.

937
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,954
Look, I've got to tell Rabbi Blumenthal
that you're gonna give the money

938
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:24,474
because someone else
is gonna buy that building...

939
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:28,190
Rabbi Blumenthal is not my fucking problem!

940
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,432
They're going to launch a war in Syria
that's gonna turn into World War III!

941
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,751
I don't give a shit
who started World War III.

942

He's got a country to run. He's busy!

You can get us a letter, right?

- It should be notarized. Should be notarized.

But, can you tell me why he is doing this?

He can afford it. He knows me.

1006
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:17,397
I told him... I told him about the community,

1007
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:18,880
you know,
the history of the building, everything.

1008
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,317
And why does he insist
on remaining anonymous?

1009
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:27,272

there would be hundreds of other requests.

1344
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:01,519
I... I forgot something. I...

1345
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,910
I'm gonna be canceling this meeting, so...

1346
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:08,354
Look, I don't see my phone in there.
Can you give me my phone?

1347

Can you give me my phone? Hello?

- I don't see my phone!

Could you... I'm not going in!

1352
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:24,272
So you might as well
give me my phone back right now, please!

They told me not to meet with you.

1355

ALEX: Who?

1356
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:02,792
NORMAN: The Prime Minister's office. Duby.

1357
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:07,798
I don't want to upset them.
He'll know I was here. I don't...

1358
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:09,434
It was a mistake.

1359
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:13,240
No, please. I respect you very much.
I'm sorry. I apologize.

1360
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:14,595
I shouldn't have called you.

1361
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,997
ALEX: No. It's good that you called.
I'm glad you're here.

1362
01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:24,677
Norman, I want this conversation
to be as straightforward

1363
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,798
and honest as possible.
Do you think you can do that?

1364
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:32,277
I spent the past few months

1365
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:35,398
trying to know more about you.

1366
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:39,920
Where you come from, what you do,

1367
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,517
who your friends are, your family.

1368
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:45,511
Your financial situation.

1369
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:49,358
And what I've discovered is very strange.

1370
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:52,794
Everybody seems to know who you are.

1371
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:56,155
But nobody knows anything about you.

1372
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:59,074
Even people
who say they have known you for years.

1373
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:03,960
For instance, nobody knows where you live.

1374
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:07,590
I was able to confirm that
you inherited a small amount of money

1375
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:09,114
from your mother,

1376
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:13,797
and that she left you
her rent-controlled apartment after she died.

1377
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:17,999
But I wasn't able to
verify that you have a daughter

1378
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:20,231
or that you were ever married.

1379
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:22,596
Were you?

1380
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:25,040
Do you have a daughter?

1381
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:28,910
NORMAN: Why are you
gathering this information about me?

1382
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:32,111
ALEX: Because you've been unusually generous

1383
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:34,590
toward the Prime Minister of Israel

1384
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:38,276
and have created
an intricate network of people

1385
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:40,920
who benefit from the access you provide.

1386
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:47,953
The relationship you've established
with the Prime Minister of Israel

1387
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:49,713
is illegal.

1388
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:52,592
I think it is corrupt.

You are our witness.

1393

(SCOFFS) No, I'm not.

1394
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:32,317
We can subpoena you. You have no choice.

1395
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:35,796
I'm going to go now. I'm sorry, but, I'm...

1396
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:38,998
Wait. You need to hear what I have to say.

1397
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,830
We're arranging
for an early deposition for you tomorrow.

1398
01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:47,753
I can't force you to stay here now.

1399
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,635

about everything that you've experienced,

1402
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:16,149
we can protect you from self-incrimination.

1403
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,634
It will be about him. Not about you.

1404
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,276
But what is Eshel going to do?

1405
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:31,238
What will he do to me?

1406
01:33:34,480 --> 01:33:38,918
They will try to
persuade the court and the public

1407
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,198
that you are an unreliable witness.

1408
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:46,320
That will most likely be their defense.

1414
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:49,117

...to disqualify him as a witness

1416

...portray him as a crook

1417
01:34:57,120 --> 01:35:01,114
...and paint the Prime Minister
as an innocent victim.

1418
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,433
How am I a victim?

1419

Never say that. It is not true.

The press will be on your side.

1423
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:24,316
Nobody wants to see our peace efforts
go down the drain...

1424
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:27,480
...because of some shady Jewish macher.

...who has been sucking your blood for years.

1427

You need to say this clearly.

1428

I won't hurt him.

It is not personal.

1433
01:35:56,440 --> 01:36:00,957
It's bigger than
the pain felt by one individual.

1434
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:05,872
He's a threat to our national interests.

1435
01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:08,477
Our personal feelings aside...

1436
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:11,639
...we must treat him like
any other strategic threat.

been more helpful but...

- You know, I...
- You've been a very big help, Philip.

I still might have them, I just...

It's not a sure thing.

1468
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:08,396
Then why would you tell us you had a donor?

1469
01:39:09,440 --> 01:39:10,920

But the only reason
I will be saying these things

01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:47,950
Wait.

1515
01:43:50,280 --> 01:43:52,636
I'm listening out of respect to my father.

1516
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:55,793
You knew him, didn't you?

1517
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:00,753
All right. What have you got?

1518
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:07,959
If you knew with 100 percent certainty

1519
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:11,317
that the witness who is
trying to topple down Prime Minister Eshel

1520
01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:13,153
will never testify,

1521
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,552
would you know
how to make money with that information?

1522
01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:22,239
Well, it depends on
where and how I got that information

1523
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:23,510
and if I can verify it.

1524
01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:25,671
You realize
you're not a very reliable source, right?

1525
01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:28,795
You put me in a room with Jo Wilf.

1526
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:30,758
I'll give him all the certainty he needs.

1527
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:35,431
Think about it. Go ahead. Think about it.

1528
01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:38,158
Run the numbers, do the whole thing.

1529
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:41,317
You have until 8:00 a.m. to call me back.

1530
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,879
- After that, I'm going to Arthur Taub.

At times like this,
when we're aware of our blessings,

1535
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:46,799
we also know that the world
is in desperate need of repair.

1536
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:51,350
Tradition explains
the act of breaking the glass

1537
01:46:51,440 --> 01:46:54,399
reminds us to turn our hearts
towards the city of Jerusalem.

1538
01:46:54,480 --> 01:46:57,871
In which the ultimate peace
shall be granted to the world.

- Hi.

1541
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:28,275
Thank you.

1542
01:47:31,040 --> 01:47:33,191
Welcome to Harvard, David Eshel.

1543
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:34,999
Thank you. Happy to be here.

REPORTER: As we turn to
the economic implications

1545
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:44,069
of this peace treaty this morning,

1546
01:47:44,160 --> 01:47:47,039
one investor, Jo Wilf,
is looking like a big winner.

1547
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:50,477
And when I say big winner, I mean, like,
a-billion-dollars-overnight big winner.

1548
01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:53,473
Wilf, at a series of what now
seem like pretty prescient bets that...

1549
01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:55,199
All the way back to the conversation
we've been having

1550
01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:58,199
about the possible impeachment
of Israel's Prime Minister.

1551
01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:01,432
Now, just when everyone thought
the Prime Minister would get the boot,

1552
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:03,318
Wilf bets the opposite.

1553
01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:06,199
He shorts natural gas
and then he magically buys shares

1554
01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:09,398
in both Sampton Energy
and the Tel Aviv-based Barkin Group.

1555
01:48:09,480 --> 01:48:11,995
Those are the companies
building the Israel-Turkey pipeline.

1556
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:14,595
This deal is starting to look like
the trade of the decade.

1557
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:16,755
Genius.
