I'll be there.

And?

I'm in.

This is crazy.

'Cause I have spent so much time

studying your work with Cassius.

I feeI like

I know you.

You don't.

Yeah. No, I just mean I

- I, you know, I put myself in your shoes.

I just tried to think

how you would think.

I've all of these crime scene

photos. A lot of them you're in.

Actually, I should probably get

you to sign one of them. Right?

That would definitely

be a first.

When you were in Budapest in 91,

did you notice a specific pattern?

No, Agent Geary.

Tell me why-why

would a guy...

who writes a thesis

on an internationaI spy...

join the Bureau and

not Central Intelligence?

Well, I believed that

Cassius was hiding in the U.S.

Think about it. What better place

for a Soviet spook to retire?

You believe that enough

to base a career on it?

Uh, yeah.

You could say that.

Can I ask you

something?

If that means you'll

stop talking, yeah.

Why didn't they

tell you about Brutus?

If it was your job to catch the Cassius

Seven, what were they scared you'd do?

Kill him.

What's in the bag?

Motivation.

You think

he's gonna talk?

Not to me.

He's been cleared!

You speak Russian, huh?

I studied

in schooI. Yes.

Here's some

Russian for you.

I've read that you

worked with Cassius.

It's a different

life ago.

Do you know

where he's hiding?

Why would you-

Is Cassius alive?

He killed

a Senator.

Who are you?

I understand that you've been looking

for one of these for about 10 years.

Give it to me.

Tell me something that I don't

know about Cassius and it is yours.

A chance to hear

the outside world?

Give it to me,

you son of a whore!

Tell me something about

Cassius. Did he train you?

What does

he look like?

I guess you can spend the

rest of your life in silence.

Guard?

Wait!

Okay.

He made his name

as a soldier.

But rather than take the easy

route through the academia...

he honed

other skills.

And he trained you?

He trained us

all... his way.

He only wanted the best.

For that he

wanted proof.

Only six

of us survived.

And together we became

your Cassius Seven.

And you never

saw him again?

No.

We got our targets from him

through the usuaI channels.

But he planned

the kills.

His inteI was

always the best.

His instinct for when to

strike, always sharpest.

What happened

to him?

He made mistake.

He lived

outside parameters.

What kind

of parameters?

Parameters of

an assassin.

What did you

do to him?

Give him

the radio.

No, no. I wanna

hear specifically-

I said give him

the radio!

Just do it!

Give it to him.

All right.

Let's go.

Come on!

Guard.

What the hell

was that?

Why didn't you let me finish

my line of questioning?
