What did I do to you, Jeffery?

Tell me, what did I do to you?

Do you want to f*** my wife?

Do you want my hair?

Do you want my f***ing floor seats?

What?

Just tell me!

What the f*** did I ever do

to you, but be your friend?

Listen to me!

I've never lied to you.

I've stuck my neck out for you

more times than I can remember.

This isn't about you or me.

This is out of my hands.

Do you understand?!

Don't do this to me, Jeff.

Have Laura schedule lunch next week.

I've gotta go.

No.

I'll talk to you when I get back.

No.

Jeffery. Jeffery!

Damn it.

What are you looking at?

Watch the road!

Sorry I'm late.

It's been a sh*t day.

I'm gonna need a little

time to wind down some,

if that's okay.

Whatever you need.

Thank you.

You wanna talk about it?

No!

No. It'll just get me more worked up.

Bad day at the office?

I have something that'll

take you down nice and easy.

I don't get why

you can't f***ing smoke

in the lobby, but you can in your room.

No one cares if you die of cancer.

You just can't give it to anybody else.

I fired my investment guy.

Nothing good lasts forever.

You want another?

No. I'm ready.

I'm gonna go put something on,

freshen up a little.

Let's get high first.

Pour me a drink.

I'll be back in just a bit.

Don't close the door.

I want to watch you get undressed.

I said, don't close the door. I want -

Who the f*** are you?

My wife put you up to this?

Get the f*** out of here!

You're going to approve a

25 billion dollar acquisition.

You will receive a

generous severance package

safely hidden from disclosure, of course,

and then you're going to walk away.

Just lie back and enjoy it, right?

Are we going to cuddle afterwards?

F*** you!

You try to buy me off with a

couple 100 million dollars.

Add a zero to that and maybe it's a start.

I'll burn everything down

to the f***ing ground

before I let that happen.

You've got

nothing left to burn, Mr. Towne.

I've got enough.

Money, homes,

friends, family, the company?

It isn't real. It's an illusion.

Just like your security, it's a concept,

a false one that you

can never fully realize.

We're sorry.

The number you have

reached is not in service.

Please check the number

or try your call again.

This is a recording.

Nazi uniform would

have a classier touch.

Nobody's gonna buy this,

whatever you want to call it.

The truth is going to come out.

Truth is

irrelevant, Mr. Towne.

Getting to the truth strains the

muscles and fatigues the brain.

No one likes that.

By the time the truth comes out,

no one will remember and no one will care.

Think about your future,

your children's future,

their children's future.

You can't win,

but you can be rich.

He's just

leaving the hotel now.

Yes, everything went as planned.

Hey, you

got something for me?

Come on, man, give me some money.

Get the f*** out of here! Cock sucker

Cock sucker!

Get out of here.

F***er! Go find a hole!

How long have you been back?

Just over a week.

I was at my sisters for a few days.

I brought a turkey and a pie

and apologized months in advance

for missing Thanksgiving.

I do it every year.

Maybe next year you won't have to.

Is that an invitation?

That depends, did you

actually cook the turkey and pie?

No. Believe

me, you wouldn't want that.

You've got a year to learn

how to use your oven.

How close are you with your sister?

She's my sister,

let's just put it that way.

But my niece is worth it all.

She's just amazing, an

amazing little girl.

She had her first piano

recital at school this week.

I miss her already.

You never wanted kids?

Out of the

country 300 days a years

and on call 24/7, I wouldn't

do that to somebody.

I've been on my own too long.

You never know

what you're capable of,

considering given the right circumstances.

I'm not pining away

for a life I could have had.

This is it for me.

I got you something.

Now what?

Just open it.

It's not work.

I found it in a little

shop outside of Hamburg.

Some of the pages are

loose from the binding,

but it's an original first edition.

Wow!

This is, this is really hard to find.

I don't know what to say.

It's one of the few

books my father never -

I never found.

Well just try to throw

in a little Danielle Steel

or J.K. Rowling next time, okay?

Make my life a little easier.

Thank you.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

We can get a hotel next to the airport.

I thought we were going to my place.

I can't stay.

I've got a flight in

to Islamabad.

Tomorrow?

Tonight.

I don't know why you keep doing it.

You know you don't make a difference.

I've got an informant.

A 19-year-old kid with a 12-week-old baby

and a wife who's been raped

twice by military guards

looking for dissidence.

Brother beaten senseless

and tortured for months

before they found his body in the road

covered in a pile of trash.

I matter to him.

The GPS coordinates on

the digital scans I gave you,

I manipulated it.

The real coordinates have been uploaded

to a data mining computer in Baltimore.

They get patched into F-18's,

Black Hawks, aircraft carriers

without ever knowing the real coordinates.

Why would you do that?

I hide places we don't

want anyone to know exists.

The right hand doesn't know

what the left hand is doing.

That's how they want it.

I know you care.

Maybe a little too much.

Thank you for telling me,

but I'm still going.

Ray, I don't know what

you're feeling right now,

but obviously you're upset.

Before this, I was

stationed in South Asia,

intercepting Russian

military communications,

trip movements in the region.

There was a local agent we gave intel to.

I met him weekly in a small tea shop

just outside of Cabo.

He must have been 15, 16 years old.

His English was pretty good,

considering he had a 3rd-grade education.

He carried an AK-47 over his shoulder,

held a satellite phone the

size of my shoe in his hand.

My, I was never sure,

but he understood what

it was I was saying.

He always nodded his

head and shook my hand

when we were done.

I prayed that the intel

I gave him was correct,

I'd get to see him again the next week.

He's a grown man by now.

Probably has a family of his own.

I wonder if he still

remembers that tea shop,

Morista's in the afternoons.

That small town used to be

where the crater is now.

I wonder if he's hiding

out in the same caves,

attending the same council

meetings you're gonna put those

3 time war heads in to.

I thought I was important to him too.

But I wasn't.

Gators bittin' yet?

is on board.

We promised her additional

security if they wanted it.

Memory cards being programmed now

will be shipped to DBS next month.

All right.

Where are they with the missing files?

NSA is still working on it.

451 personell files unrecovered.

Covert and top security

clearances are in containment

until we determine that they're secure.

The case officer is Mitchell T. K.
