951
We needed you... James.

952
No accidents.

953
You and Layla were matched.

954
She's an orphan¹.

955
You're a young man
searching for a father.

956
You're both highly motivated,
you're both highly independent.

957
You even look good together.

958
We paired you at the farm, son.

959
We paired you, remember?

960
The Blue Ridge² barhop?

961
The lie detector³ session?

962
The choke point test?

963
And it worked, didn't it?

964
She trusts you.

965
Loves you, maybe.

966
And you're gonna take
that trust and that love

967
and you're gonna use it to
find out who she's working for.

968
James...

969
My first posting was
in Italy... Trieste.

970
A physics conference
met there every summer.

971
So I meet this local girl...
beautiful, sweet.

972
She's working for the Russian
group as a secretary.

973
Anyway, I did my job.
I worked her. I turned her.

974
Pretty soon, she's giving me
everything, you know...

975
I mean,
really high-grade stuff...

976
and, uh, I'm a hero.

977
But I'm still a kid, two years,
fresh out of Ocala, Florida.

978
I got this perfect Italian girl,
and she's crazy for me,

979
and we're falling in love.

980
I knew the Russians were
getting close to her.

981
I knew she was
in jeopardy⁴, but...

982
material was valuable.

983
I could've warned her.

984
I could've saved her.

985
But the information
was more important.

986
You understand?

987
The information was more
important than she was...

988
more important than I was.

989
It is what we do.

990
I need to think about it.

991
Oh, come on.
"Think about it."

992
You got 24 hours.
