:16:06
I even shipped cargo to Afghanistan
:16:08
when they were still fighting my
fellow Soviets.

:16:10
I never sold to Osama Bin Laden.
:16:13
Not on any moral grounds.
:16:14
Back then, he was always
bouncing checks.

:16:26
By the mid-'80s...
:16:27
my weapons were represented in eight...
:16:29
...of the world's top ten war zones.
:16:59
There's no problem leading a double life.
:17:01
It's the triple and quadruple lives
:17:02
that get you in the end.
:17:04
Back then, I carried a... French,
British, Israeli,

:17:07
and Ukrainian passport...
:17:08
...and a student visa for the U.S.,
:17:10
but... that's another story.
:17:12
I also packed six different briefcases...
:17:14
...depending on who I was that day
:17:16
and the region of the world I was visiting.
:17:18
North of Cartagena, Colombia - 1989
:17:23
Without operations like mine,
:17:24
would be impossible for certain
countries

:17:26
to conduct a respectable war.
:17:29
I was able to navigate around those
:17:30
inconvenient little arms embargoes.
:17:33
There are three basic types
of arms deal.

:17:35
White, being legal.
:17:36
Black, being illegal,
:17:38
and my personal favorite color, gray.
:17:41
Sometimes I made the deal
so convoluted...

:17:43
it was hard for me to work out
:17:45
if they were on the level.
:17:46
To keep authorities in the dark
:17:47
I often spoke in code.
:17:49
Rocket launchers were "mothers."
:17:51
The rockets, "children."
:17:52
The AK-47 assault rifle was
the "Angel King."

:17:56
It's Yuri... Yeah. Well, Raoul...
