At their next meeting, Jones gives a presentation on what is needed for the project—including transporting by air thousands of salmon from British rivers to the Yemen at a cost of £50 million. Harriet takes his plan seriously and arranges for Jones to meet the "visionary" sheikh (Amr Waked) at his riverside estate in the Scottish Highlands. When Jones arrives, he is provided fishing gear, and soon the skeptical scientist feels at home. The sheikh is excited to meet Jones, the inventor of the "Willy Jones", a famous fishing fly. Acknowledging that the project may sound crazy, the sheikh still believes that fishing is a noble pursuit that promotes harmony among people.

Renowned fisheries expert, Doctor Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor), receives an email from financial advisor Harriet Chetwode-Talbot (Emily Blunt), seeking advice on a project to bring salmon fishing to the Yemen—a project being bankrolled by a wealthy Yemeni sheikh. Jones dismisses the project as "fundamentally unfeasable" because the Yemen cannot provide the necessary cold temperatures and water needed to sustain salmon.

Later, she suggests the salmon fishing story to the PM's office. watch more
