We can't do this today. We don't have time.
Five minutes. Less.
Your insight was invaluable. The Senator said so himself.
This is about the guy who gave me the--
Stop with the guy.
We leaked what we could. It's not enough anymore.
Janet, come on. Give me two minutes with him.
[indistinct conversations in distance]
[pan sizzling]
I don't know how many times you want me to say it.
Deep background is not gonna cut it.
I'm aware. That's why I'm here.
My source has agreed to go on the record.
You said that was never gonna happen.
Well, you made it clear it has to.
Over a month ago, yeah.
The Committee's moved on, Ms. Mathison.
I'm not gonna reopen this line of inquiry
unless you're absolutely sure
this implicates David Wellington.
I'm sure.
If you can guarantee closed session testimony
and identity protection, he'll talk.
Senator, I'm sorry. We're completely in the dark here.
We don't know one damn thing about this person.
Do you know what happens to him if his identity is leaked?
Or me? This administration jails federal employees.
So he's a federal employee?
[sighs]
You have to give us something.
You told us on three separate occasions
you were going to produce hard evidence.
You never delivered.
He's a colleague. Okay? FBI.
We worked counterterrorism together in Afghanistan.
Now he's on the team interrogating the suspects
detained in the second wave of arrests.
I know for a fact
that he has personally interviewed 43 of them,
and is working his way through the dossiers of all 200.
So far, there's nothing, nothing that connects
a single one of them to the assassination attempt.
Okay. Closed session testimony, identity protection,
we can do that.
There's, uh, there's one more thing.
He's asking for a face-to-face.
You, me, and him, 6:00 tonight.
-Where? -The Hay-Adams.
I'll text you a room number on this phone
as soon as I have one.
Is this spy shit really necessary?
I'm bringing you a federal agent to testify about
some of the most expansive civil rights abuses
in the history of our nation.
Is it really that hard to use a burner?
You're all we've got on Wellington.
This source of yours turns out to be some putz
overheard a rumor at the urinal...
He's not.
