Breach Page #6

I want you to quit.

I felt sick

all day, Eric.

It's like you're someone else

when he's around.

I'm sorry it's been

a stressful day for you.

Let's not make it worse.

I don't know.

Maybe it's me.

Maybe you want me

to be someone else, too.

Maybe you want me to be

Bonnie or something.

Knock it off, Jule.

No, that'd be easier

for you, wouldn't it?

If I were more of an FBI

kind of wife, like she is.

I'm not kidding, Juliana...

If I just went to church

every day and wanted to spend

my life being pregnant...

Your parents would

probably love that.

Enough.

Then you wouldn't have

to worry anymore

if I was Catholic enough

or American enough.

Shut up, goddamn it!

(DISHES CLATTERING)

(DOOR SLAMS)

Juliana?

Vanna, what's going on here?

Well, i'm just trying to..

What is wrong with you?

I'm just fighting with Eric about going to the church.

You just probably learned it something?

I don't know.

Just for Addie to take care of.

Maybe, i just wanna do something about it.

Sure, why not?

Let's go have a talk, right?

Eric.

Hey, Dad.

How long

you been out here?

I don't know.

About an hour or two.

It's freezing.

Why didn't you

let yourself in?

You ever quit

anything, Dad?

Did I ever

quit anything?

Yeah.

I think I gave up

a paper route once.

Got tired of waking up

so early.

What did

your father say?

Nothing.

He just shrugged.

He could kill you

with those shrugs.

(CHUCKLING)

I've been

thinking about him

a lot this morning.

I don't know why.

Well, that's a lot

to put on yourself, son.

I mean, he was just a kid

doing his duty.

Like you.

"Get on the boat,

do your job,

get back home again."

Huh?

That's what he said to me

the first time I shipped out.

He knew I was scared,

so he just kept it simple.

Maybe I should have

gone to Annapolis.

It always seemed to me

that your joining the Bureau

was an apology

for not going

to Annapolis,

which you never

had to do.

It's what you wanted.

No.

I wanted you

to serve your country.

Isn't that

what you're doing?

Yeah.

So you can't quit,

can you?

(SIGHS)

Get on the boat,

do your job,

get back home again.

Can you do that?

(DOOR OPENING)

His appointment's

in 5 minutes.

Media room, 1st floor.

You'll get a page

when he's in-pocket.

Obviously, if he takes

his Palm Pilot with him,

you call me, we shut it down.

It might not be

the best day

to do this, sir.

He's due at the DIA

at 2:
00.

I'm driving him.

Looks like you're in

for a full day.

(INAUDIBLE ARGUING)

Addie, stop chewing on your fingers!

You are 1 year old and you're not a baby

any more, understand?

I'm trying to read the story.

Listen, i didn't tell you what is going

to happen here?

Vanna is trusting you on it.

You're so amazing there!

You're so amazing?

Yeah.

I mean it's gonna be

trusting me here.

I think you are so amazing.

You are a loveable way in history!

You're not in history!

But, you need to tell me...

(CLOSES NURSERY BOOK)

Okay, that's it!

... and i'm telling you a secret where it is!

Hey, Juliana!

Oh, hi, you're most to me out here!

I became best friends when you are 12!

Yes.

I think so it's worthing it!

So i just read the story with Addie before

she's going to bed!

Really? Yeah!

And this is Bonnie.

Hi. Nice to meet you!

I am glad to be here.

Vanna, i bought you something!

See you at the invitation.

Boss, I just realized

I totally screwed

something up.

Don't you knock?

I'm sorry. The photographer

for your 25-year portrait,

he's here. Today.

I had it in my book

for next week,

but it's today.

They called me on my cell.

Your appointment's

in five minutes.

Then you'll just have to

reschedule, won't you?

We shouldn't.

He's only here once a month.

I'm so sorry.

I'm supposed to drop

everything I'm doing

and run down there?

In this?

That's how you

dress every day.

No. There's a spot

on my tie.

Let me look.

Lord!

Sorry.

You klutz!

Look at that.

It's everywhere.

Boss, please.

Just get down there.

You don't want to

miss your picture.

I'll have all this cleaned up

by the time you get back.

I've got the DIA at 2:00.

I'll get you there.

No problem.

Are you finding

this job stressful, Eric?

Is this all

too much for you?

Sometimes.

Then pray more.

Yes, sir.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

Mr. Hanssen.

Nice to meet you.

I'm John.

We've got a spot for you

right over here.

(PAGER BEEPING)

Twenty-five years,

huh?

That's quite a

prideful thing.

This we don't need.

You know something?

There's a little too much

bounce on your nose.

We don't want that.

Would you be opposed

to just the slightest

touch of base?

PHOTOGRAPHER:
Very nice.

Sit up a bit straighter.

Good. A little bit of a smile.

And excellent.

Keep thinking those

patriotic thoughts.

And that's good.

Little straighter.

Beautiful. Excellent.

You're gonna love that one.

Stop.

Stop.

Mr. Hanssen,

we can get another tie.

I don't like being

scrutinized.

Hey, I found you.

I was on my way

to the range,

so I called

your office.

I thought I might finally

see if you're the dead shot

I've been hearing you are.

Look, maybe

some other time, Rich.

I'm not in the mood

just now.

Me, neither.

Let's take it out

on some targets.

Fine.

(GUN FIRING)

RICH:
Shameful.

Double or nothing?

(WHISPERING)

Wrong pocket.

(DOOR BEEPING)

Oh, sh*t.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners now,

and at the hour

of our death. Amen.

(KEYS JINGLING)

Oh.

Sorry.

How'd it go?

It didn't.

I don't know

why they thought

I'd just sit there

while some

f*ggot photographer

got his jollies.

I've got work to do.

Should I reschedule it?

No. Mmm-mmm.

(ZIPPERS ZIPPING)

(COMPUTER POWERING UP)

Hey.

Have you been

in my briefcase?

No. I just had to move it

so it wouldn't get soaked.

The water was everywhere.

Why? Did I

put it back wrong?

Sir?

All right, let's go.

VANNA:

Okay everyone.

Today, we have the study

of our health issues

about pregnancy and childbirth.

(TURNING ON TELEVISION)

This is the fetus we contain

the uterine rupture.

We know our fertility

to cause dangerous concerns

like trauma and vaginal bleeding.

Excuse me for a bit.

I just wanna see that Bonnie

has a gift for me.

(GASPING)

A new Edible collection

of Chocolates and flowers

for Vivian.

Have fun, anyone.

Get back to work

for a hospital service.

(ALL CLAPPING)

I'll see you all next week.

Let me see the pager's text.

It's a notification for Eric.

I gotta pick up Addie

from daycare.

Just in case of the dismissal.
