Breach Page #7

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?

VANNA:

Peekaboo!

Got you, Addie!

Oh!

Welcome back,

Eric.

How's the morning with John?

So good.

Let's sit down together.

VANNA:

Eric, it's the family photo album.

We really wanna see it.

Do you wanna tell me the story

when Addie was born?

Sure, Vanna.

Okay.

Well, I thought it would

be a good idea

to record you mom giving birth.

The doctor sat in the chair

with medical tools aside.

I was saying to you,

"Push harder, push harder,"

and she gave me a look,

i was like...

"You're doing great".

But then, in the last one,

You know that look

Mommy gives, like...

"You're in big trouble."

It's the like the little angel

coming to heaven.

And then I came out?

Then you came out, yep.

And then they spanked me?

Well, they spank

all little babies

'cause they're trying

to get them to cry.

Nowhere.

But she didn't?

She wasn't crying.

So they spanked you again.

And they spanked her again.

Then they tried again.

But I wasn't breathing.

That's right.

Then more doctors came rushing in,

and they brought in more machines and...

The nurse said, "You might want

to turn that video camera off."

And then your Dad

looked at me and said,

"You need to talk to her.

You need to tell her to breathe

because she knows your voice."

"Loud."

"Say it to her."

So I started yelling

And then I did?

Yes, Vanna.

And then you did it.

Then she was crying.

Here, Vanna.

I'll hold your hand.

So, why do you have a

miracle worker?

Nobody else's got a baby lover.

Maybe you do?

That's the way understand?

ERIC:

You have tears in your eyes!

VANNA:

I know, Eric.

I'm gonna wipe it off.

You're doing a good girl.

Thanks, Eric.

I'll be back soon.

VANNA:

See you later then.

(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.

VIVIAN:

Betty Hill? What did you say that?

VANNA:

I really know!

It was a gift!

We tried it, Vanna.

You keep on knowing

to have it all for anyone.

I know, Vivian.

We used to have it all.

I had it all.

I noticed about me.

It seems that I met a guy

named John.

You met a gal?

No, Vanna.

It was John.

Oh! How does it know?

I can't believe sometimes

we have a pleasure...

No, no.

Vivian.

No thinking!

How does it know?

I can't wait. I can't talk.

I have social butterflies.

I just greeted with Bonnie's daughter

being waited in a half.

JULIANA:

We're very close. We wanna come outside.

(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.
