這場戲：假部門釣出內鬼
第 10 章 · 共 20 章 · 2'17"
凱特向埃裡克攤牌：資訊安全保障處是編出來的，9930 辦公室裝滿監聽，只為引漢森回來。她一句 this is the worst breach（這是最嚴重的洩密）說明案子有多重，局長則要在他交接情報時 caught in the act（當場抓個正著）。想學 FBI 怎麼聊洩密、怎麼形容抓現行，這場戲全是地道說法。

聯邦調查局總部裡，凱特終於向埃裡克攤牌：根本沒有所謂的“資訊安全保障處”，那是為把漢森從國務院引回來而編出來的假部門；他所在的 9930 辦公室，從通風口到熱感應器全是監控裝置。她稱這是美國情報史上最嚴重的洩密，必須用非常手段。隨後埃裡克被帶進會議室，裡奇彙報漢森下班後的行蹤，眾人討論要不要通知中情局、有多少人參與，局長則要求在他交接情報時當場抓個正著。想練職場攤牌、案情彙報和形容洩密，這裡的表達都很地道。

把“判死刑”說成“他應得的”，反問裡全是冷意。
Don't you think (someone) has earned it?
反諷地說某人活該、罪有應得時用；話很重，別對朋友隨便用。

下一章 · 11be read in獲准知情這場戲：內鬼正是專案組負責人breach 本意是缺口、裂口，用在情報語境裡指安全防線被突破、發生洩密。臺詞 this is the worst breach in the history of U.S. intelligence 就是說這是美國情報史上最嚴重的一次洩密。
caught in the act。act 是正在做的事，caught 是被抓住，連起來就是做壞事時被人逮個正著。臺詞 Director wants him caught in the act of making a drop，意思是局長要在他交接情報時抓現行。
FBI 內部行話，指有權知道某項機密行動的人員名單，也就是「知情人名單」。臺詞 Got 50 on the bigot list so far 是說目前名單上已經有五十個人。
可以說 earned it。這句 Don't you think he's earned it? 表面是“你不覺得這是他掙來的嗎”，實際是反話，意思是“你不覺得他罪有應得嗎”，用在對方受到懲罰、活該的場合。
意思是“根本不存在這種東西”。句式是 There's no such thing as + 名詞，用來否認某樣東西或某個說法真的存在。臺詞 There's no such thing as the Information Assurance Division 就是在說“資訊安全保障處”根本不存在。
