"For when spooks Used to stuff their suitcases with crumpled newspaper" "To make it look like something valuable." "Either stas was too dumb to know what good intel is,Or he thought we were too dumb." "Given the fact that he's dead now," "It's probably the former." "There's nothing here of value."

Office can do." "I rest my case." "Thanks." "Conrad,right?" "You remembered.You must be very good with names." " Oh,come on,this is getting ridiculous." "Who needs another beer?" "I'm just gonna assume you see me raising my hand." "Why do you think stas tried to sell us such bad intel?" "Just because a guy can shoot a sniper rifle Doesn't make him smart." "Intelligence can be a bit of a misnomer." "Yes." "So tell me,why'd you get into this?" "You certainly don't fit the profile." "I thought there was no profile."

"Do not tell me I am losing my mind." "You're using valuable agency resources to track me?" "That's not a denial." "Why can't you be a good cia wife and just trust me?" "Because I'm not a cia wife."

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." "Let's cut to the chase." "What do you want?" "Everybody wants something." "I just want to file my articles in peace." "I think you want more." "I think you want relevancy and access and accolades." "There's nothing wrong with that." "So what do you want?" " Let me be your source." " On the record?" "That would be tough." "And so it goes." "Recognize this meeting as me reaching out." "What you do with that is up to you." "Arthur..." "The cia doesn't have a monopoly on seduction."

"He has the tattoos to prove it." "And this guy..." "Clean as a boy scout." "I knew it." "Stas is still alive." "I should have noticed it when his robe came off." "Wait-his robe came off?" "Freeze!" "Fbi!" "Now,tell me..." "What is a call girl..." "Doing at a d.C. Morgue?" "Paying my respects." "So..." "You're still telling me you're a call girl?" "I'm still telling you I don't like that term." "Okay." "Who's the blind guy?" " He's a client." " Client." "A john,as they say." "Which is ironic,since my name is john." "Okay." "W-what were you two doing in the morgue?" "I had mentioned to john about yesterday," "Almost getting killed at the capital grand." "I knew he was a bit of a fetishist." "I thought it might turn him on." "Seeing that dead body really turned me on." "Y..." "You're blind." "What are you,"sight-ist"?" "I think I'd like to speak To someone a little more open-minded." "There's one more thing you should know." "Really?" "And..." "What is that?" "We are extremely discreet." "We have a number of federal employees and civil servants On our client list." "I'm just putting that out there." "I - let me get this straight." "You're..." "Propositioning me" "During an interrogation?" "See?" "You keep using all those clinical terms," "And it's dampening the mood." "I'll be back." "I just got a call from my boss's boss." "A man I've never talked to my entire career Just called me." "Congratulations." "You must be doing a good job." "A man I've never talketo Told me to release you and your friend." "Maybe your boss's boss Is a gold circle client." "Okay,here's what I think." "I think you both work for the agency." " I-I-uh... - No,I know,I know." "You don't know what I'm talking about,right?" "I was gonna say you don't know what you're talking about." "Okay." "You work for the cia." "yeah." "You work for the cia," "And you should be sharing information with us anyway."

"Well,they ran the wiretaps on miss calhoun from oversight." " And?" " And,um..." "It's all on the up-and-up." "All conversations with arthur are completely work-related."

"Two days on the job,And you already have him apologizing for you?" " She likes mingus." " I'm sorry." "Later." "We cross-checked dna samples." " It's not stas." " Who is it?" "Some patsy stas must have bribed to pretend to be him." "Clearly,he omitted the "getting shot of it all."" "And stas was the one doing the shooting?" "He is an assassin." "Why would he fake his own death?" "Not for the money." "The transfer didn't go through." "Wasn't to signal to us he was dead-too veiled." "We've overthinking it.Like you said - he's an assassin." "That means everything he does goes towards one goal." "Oh,man." "Is stas still on the hstl?" "Let's see..." ""deceased."" "If everybody thinks he's dead," "Nobody's looking for him." "And if nobody's looking for him," "He can do what he really came here to do..." "Which is kill someone." "What's the threat matrix?" "Coming up." "President is abroad." "Congress is out of session." "Petrov." "An outspoken russian journalist visiting d.C." "It's classic fsb tactics." "Half their assassinations go down abroad." "Petrov's at an awards dinner at the smithsonian right now." "We gotta get him out of there." "Go get him,girls." "**" "Petrov is secure." "Stand down." "Stas probably knew we were onto him And didn't show up." "Annie!" " Ethan." " Don't worry." "I'm not stalking you." "Petrov-he's a friend of the world bank,so..." "Sorry about last night," "You know,too much zing." "Would you do me ththththththe hr Of letting me pick up the dry cleaning bill?" "It was only chocolate mousse." "You know,you smithsonian people Really know how to throw a good party."

"Let's think this through." "The cia loves to negotiate." "I" " I could shepherd you into langley myself." "Keep walking." "I knew that spanish accent was off." "You're getting sloppy." "I promise you I'll work on that After you're dead." "Get down on your knees." "The intelligence commendation award..." "For your work on neutralizing an enemy spy." "Thank you." "I look forward to coming back to the agency After I finish my training." "Oh,you're not going back to the farm." "We're gonna be keeping you here at the d.P.D." "Your country needs you." "Thank you." "Joan,can I talk to you for a second?" " Yeah,of course." " On the platform..." "It all happened so fast,but..." "I could have sworn that stas was killed by..." "Somebody I knew." " Someone you knew." " Someone I met while traveling." "Annie,you've been through a lot." "The man who killed stas is agent baldwin over there." "You're lucky he got there when he did." "You might wanna go thank him." "And you're gonna have to give that back." "Awards stay here in the vault." "The agency giveth,and the agency taketh away." "You were right." "This is a weird place to work." "Come on,let's go scarf down A few more of these cheese cubes Before they take those away." "So you're telling me he's back again?"

"If we move too quickly,he could slip away again." "Keep the girl working." "Keep her out there." "Let's see what he does." "Hopefully,she'll lead us right to him." "Arthur..." "This meeting's over,joan." "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Stapler accident." "I'm such a klutz." " I'm sorry about this morning." " No,I'm sorry." "It's just that I wanted to introduce you To someone cool,and ethan was..." "Not." "it's okay." "He said he'd pay for the dry cleaning." "Straight to the cherry garcia." "Rough day,huh?"
