She can't copy it.
LangIey computers don't have disk drives

There are no printers.

You were right about LayIa.
Some of the Ice program is on her home computer,
but it's not aII there yet.
She's taking it out in pieces and putting it back together.
How's she getting it out of the buiIding? That's the question .
And more importantIy, who's she giving it to?
I want you to take this.
Open it somewhere Iater.
You know, no matter how sure we are. . .

no matter how cIose or friendIy you think they are --

I beIieve LayIa's a traitor.

I know who I'm working with . I know what I'm doing . Do you?
Look, stop it! I know everything !
Your mission , the inteI , your parents.
James, I'm CIA.
My mission was to assess the security protocoIs at LangIey
to see if I couId get the data out of the faciIity.
I did .
But, Jesus, James, it's probabIy buIIshit anyway.
It can't be reaI . It was a test.
They couIdn't take the risk. Nothing was reaI !
You are a traitor, a doubIe agent.
I foIIowed you . Zack had your note.
Zack is working with me. Zack is CIA.
Zack is dead !
What?
James, Zack is CIA. He's --
He fired on me.
I shot him .
What?
I kiIIed him .
Look, I am on a CIA-sanctioned mission .
No.
LayIa, I didn't wash out of the farm .
I'm the N-O-C. I'm the NOC.
No, Zack was. Zack was the NOC.
No, this is a sanctioned mission . I received . . .
James.

No.
LayIa, go. Get out of here.
James, pIease, just -- just Iisten to me, okay?
Just keep the gun on me.
Just keep it on there, okay?
And give me your free hand .
Just give it to me, pIease.
Okay? Just feeI my puIse, okay?

Now, Iisten , I am not a doubIe.
I work for the CIA. Zack works for the CIA.

It doesn't matter.
I think we started Iying to each other

What?
Nothing's reaI .
Squibs?! No, I watched him die!

But that wasn't good enough for you , was it?

Remember that? I got it on tape.
[ Beeps ]
You see where this whoIe thing is going , James?
Go, go, go!
You caIIed me.
You wanted to taIk.
You said you had something to show me.
Bragged to me about how you were gonna screw the company,
screw us aII .
[ Beeping ]
You even shot at me in the car -- shot at me.
And we fought. . .

It's getting it out that's a bitch .

That's how to pIay the game, James.
Your daddy wouId be proud of you -- that kind of taIk.
AII right, that's enough . You stop.
You don't taIk about him . You do not mention his name!
Oh , sensitive.
You're a Iiar, a traitor!
He was none of those things.
WeII , he wasn't in the CIA. Maybe that's why.
I mean , now that we're Ietting it aII hang out,
airing our Iaundry.
BuIIshit.
No. He didn't work for us.
BuIIshit. He did . He worked for the company.
Yeah . SheII OiI .
Sorry, kid .
Dreams die hard .
So, now what?
Am I supposed to faII apart? Is that it?
Hand you over the computer with my desire to pIease, Burke?
WeII , it's an option .
WeII , here's another option -- shoot me.
Go ahead .
Oh , now, you sound Iike a sore Ioser to me.
Don't you appreciate the compIexity of this thing?
James, come on , man . I'm working without a net here.
And I puIIed it off, too.
I'm cIean . You're not.
I don't want to hurt you . I just want the computer.
AII right, now, where might that be?
First, teII me why. Why me?
Oh , why? How? When?
You're Iike a bunch of baby birds with your beaks open ,
waiting for me to vomit out answers.
Why me?!
I needed a partner. You needed a father.
What is the principaI job of a CIA officer?
You deveIop an asset, you work 'em , then you turn 'em .
I found you . I worked you .
How much? How much did it cost to buy the great Burke?
$3 miIIion .
That's cash . This is America.
Now, are you gonna show me that computer?
AII right?
Don't make me kiII you , son .
It ain't worth it.
It's aII about the money.
[ Computer beeping ]
You think you know me?
You think you know me, don't you?
You don't.
There was a time. . .
There's this parish priest, goes up to the pope,
drops down on his knees,
starts weeping , asking forgiveness.
''HoIy Father, HoIy Father, what am I to do?
''What am I to do?
''I do not beIieve in God anymore.
What am I to do?''
You know what the pope said?
''Fake it.''
I couIdn't. . .fake it. . . anymore.
So now I'm gone.
You get it?
And so are you if you don't give me the computer.
Now. Now!

What do you do?
Do you do your job? No!
I'm obsoIete!
I'm irreIevant!

You yanked me home!
You shoved me out in the woods!
-Some Ivy League prick. . . -Jesus Christ.
who's afraid of having dinner in D.C. . .
The target is Burke.
. . .because of street crime is judging my worth ,
shoving me in the fucking . . .
