Breach

Sunday the FBI

successfully concluded

an investigation to end

a very serious breach

in the security of

the United States.

The arrest of Robert Hanssen

for espionage

should remind us all,

every American should know

that our nation,

our free society

is an international target

in a dangerous world.

(INAUDIBLE)

HANSSEN ON TAPE:

I shouldn't tease you

That just gets me

into trouble

(WOMAN SPEAKING ARABIC)

(CAMERA CLICKING)

(CAMERA CLICKING)

(CAMERA CLICKING)

I got him!

Him and the wife.

Okay.

She can be turned.

They were screaming

at each other.

We've got to tell

the CT guys.

Did you catch any of

what they were saying?

Some of it. Just gonna

need a translator.

Okay.

I can still work the corner

outside their apartment.

He didn't make me.

But we got to get

over there now,

while they're still fighting.

Oh!

Yeah.

It's a protocol for storing

information on our targets.

Yeah. We got that part.

The thing that's unclear

to us is what it was

doing on Gene's desk.

It has to work its way

up the chain, doesn't it?

Nobody likes

a show-off, Eric.

We're all trying to

make agent, you know?

Different colored tabs,

You must have spent

the weekend at Kinko's

on this thing.

Did you read it?

No.

It's too bad,

because you're both

credited in here by name.

Really?

Really?

Yeah. For your help

with the software.

Can we get over to

that apartment now?

JULIANA:
Are they

terrorists?

ERIC:
They're

targets, honey.

That's all I said, right?

Right. Sorry.

Good girl.

Hey, Mom and Dad want to

take us to Mass today.

You want to go

to Mass with me?

I'd rather go

to a movie.

Me, too.

What?

I should have been

one alley over.

The light was better.

You're going to be

an agent.

Are the rest of those guys

working as hard as you?

Of course.

I bet they aren't.

Say it again, okay?

Say what again?

That I'm going

to be an agent.

You're going to be an agent.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

(SWEETLY)

Don't get it.

JULIANA ON ANSWERING MACHINE:

You've reached the O'Neills

Please leave a message

(JULIANA REPEATING IN GERMAN)

MAN:
Get dressed

You've been TD Y'ed

To where?

They'll explain

at the field office

We're due in 20 minutes

On a Sunday?

(GIBBLING)

Oh, hey!

I'm so glad to see you here!

Hey, Vanna!

Nice to meet you.

And this is Addie, she is 1 year old than the most.

Now, i can't believe it!

Can you hold her so i can get dressed too?

Sure.

Have fun at work!

I'll get right to it,

if you don't mind.

You're being tasked

to Headquarters,

where you'll be riding

the desk of an agent

named Robert Hanssen.

You know him?

No.

Former head of

our Soviet Analytical Unit,

considered our most

knowledgeable analyst

on Russian intel.

Last six years,

he's been our liaison

at the State Department.

It's Sunday.

BURROUGHS:

We're bringing him

back to Headquarters

where he's gonna start

our new Information

Assurance Division,

safeguarding the Bureau's

IT system from cyberterrorism

and infiltration

ERIC:
Wait,

I've heard of this guy

Was he the one

who hacked into another

agent's hard drive?

He's the best

computer guy we've got.

He's also

a sexual deviant.

Oh.

Been posting

on the Internet.

Lurid material.

There's some complaints

in his file from female

subordinates.

HANSSEN ON TAPE:

I shouldn't tease you

That just gets me

into trouble

You're gonna keep

an eye on him for us.

It's not a glamour

detail. Sorry.

Do you have a FISA warrant?

Of course.

Do I get a cover?

No. Hanssen would

peel it away in a day.

He spent the last 20 years

outthinking Russian spies.

And jerking off

under his desk.

You want to duck down there

and scrape for samples,

feel free.

Just so you know,

no one around here

feels good about

embarrassing a guy

who's done 25 years

of service.

But we have reason

to believe

that there are other agents

that might be involved

in this as well.

Shared postings, etc.

If that's true,

it could mean

a huge embarrassment

to the Bureau.

A few rules.

First, no one

can know about this,

not even your wife.

You have a new boss.

His name is Hanssen,

he works in Information

Assurance That's it

I understand.

Second.

You'll be serving

at the needs of the Bureau,

answerable to me

at all times.

I hope that's clear.

This pager will be

on your person 24l7.

If it's me, you'll see

a 7 and a pound sign.

You'll keep a journal

of everything that goes on

in that office.

Who he talks to,

who he calls.

No detail is

insignificant.

Got it?

Good.

Gene can fill you in

on the rest.

Thanks for coming in.

Agent Burroughs?

Yes?

Is this high-priority?

We've been ghosting priority

targets lately. CT targets.

If I'm being

pulled off that I...

In other words, you want

to know if this is going

to fast track you

into becoming an agent?

Gene tells me

you're confident,

bordering on cocky.

He also says

you can park it,

when necessary.

Yes, ma'am.

Enjoy your Sunday.

(INAUDIBLE DISTRACT)

Vanna's playing with Addie.

Awww, i saw her with Addie.

Is that true, Bonnie?

Yes, Juliana, unless we have enough kids to grow up.

I like it when i first talk to Vanna for years.

I see it, Juliana.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Okay. This is the code

for the combo lock.

And the code

for the key punch.

This is the badge

for the security pad.

You're all set.

Sir, do you know

Agent Hanssen?

A little.

Is there anything

you can tell me about him?

What would you like

to know?

Anything that would help me

do my job better, I guess.

Sure.

Take nothing personally.

(ALARM BEEPS)

(CHAIR SQUEAKING)

(DOOR ALARM BEEPING)

(THUDDING)

Good morning.

Tell me five things

about yourself,

four of them true.

I'm sorry?

It's a game we used to play

at the Soviet Analytical Unit.

To keep ourselves sharp.

It's lie detection.

(SCOFFS)

I don't think I'd be

much good at bluffing.

That would have counted

as your lie right there.

(DOOR CLOSING)

ACS.

I'm gonna be reinventing

how the Bureau stores

case information.

Didn't anybody

tell you that?

They did.

(DOOR ALARM BEEPING)

Antiquated machine.

There are pallets

of new computers in every

corridor of this building.

Why don't you go get one?

Okay. I'll just

fill out a req form...

You're not listening.

Just go get one.

Those req forms

are for bureaucrats.

Actually, get two.

That dinosaur on my desk

is useless to me.

Agent Hanssen,

my name is Eric.

No, your name

is "clerk."

My name is "sir" or "boss,"

if you can manage.

Yes, sir.

And if I ever catch you

in my office again,

you're gonna be pissing

purple for a week.
