And you were the son of a

foreign attach in Turkey.

My father worked at

embassies all over the world.

How do you know this?

I read your thesis.

You did?

And I know you were trying

for months to talk to me.

I'll tell you why I refused. Because

you have never been on the ground.

Because you don't know him.

And because you're a librarian.

Mr. Shepherdson.

Let's just say, Geary, that

I'm wrong and you expose him.

What do you

think comes next?

You think maybe he's

gonna come after you?

That is exactly

why I'm here.

I'm going home.

And I'd like to be

left alone. All right?

We've got Brutus.

What?

Igor Ivanovich Kozak,

aka Brutus...

is alive and locked up in

Brinkerman Penitentiary.

That's impossible. He killed

him in Salzburg in 1989.

I shot him in the chest.

He fell three stories.

And survived.

Why didn't you tell me?

You wanted

to retire, PauI.

I'm afraid retirees

lose certain privileges.

You know what?

I'm done here, Tom.

Get me Highland.

Come on, I know you're

there. Get me Highland.

Your call cannot

be completed as dialed.

Director Highland wants you

to know he has a meeting...

with the President

tomorrow morning.

He said you'd know

what that means.

Good morning.

Two regulars, please.

Good morning, sir.

Coming right up.

Spooks aren't supposed

to be creatures of habit.

It's a luxury one can only

afford when one is in charge.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thanks.

I gave you

You promised me

I could have a life.

I never cared much for the

coffee at The White House.

I think it's got something to

do with the 150-year-old china.

I've been Director through

three presidents, PauI.

And let's face it. I wouldn't have

gotten the job in the first place...

if you hadn't helped us

with the Cassius Seven.

In 15 minutes, the President is gonna

tell me I don't have this job anymore...

if we can't naiI the guy

that killed Senator Darden.

It's not Cassius, Tom.

You never caught him.

Because he's dead.

Then prove it.

Mr. Shepherdson?

So, PauI Shepherdson.

Been an analyst for the company

here in Paris for three years.

What do you

wanna see me about?

The Cassius Seven.

I've had a breakthrough.

I can take them

down for you.

I'll take care of it.

Just give me about 15 minutes.

Oh, hey.

And? And,

and, and, and?

I don't know.

Director Bell

was there?

Everyone was there.

Jesus! I've been at this

place a year longer than you...

and I've never even seen

the Director in person.

They're gonna put you in the

field, man. I'm sure of it.

They haven't said

anything, yet.

You were right about this

thing the whole time, huh?

Agent Geary.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.
