這場戲：問上司為何不肯調走
第 4 章 · 共 20 章 · 2'40"
埃裡克問上司：情報處像西伯利亞，您這麼多年怎麼不調去更風光的位置？上司答 I wanted to make history.（我想創造歷史）。他還點撥說，情報處盯的是那些想 wipe America off the map（把美國徹底抹掉）的人。想學怎麼用英文談理想、談工作分量，這幾句很地道。
❝ 獨白 · 4 句 漢森的自白
四句遞進，把不圖名利講成了真正的信仰。
臨別一句 live your faith（活出信仰）
forgot to mention 忘了提一句going up 掛上去、被展示can't I ……不行嗎live your faith 踐行信仰、活出信仰
埃裡克在漢森的辦公室裡聊起聯邦調查局的門道：不融入 gun culture（崇尚槍支的風氣），不站在執法一線這邊，就別想 advance（往上走），情報處簡直像西伯利亞。埃裡克問，既然這樣，您這麼多年為什麼不肯調去更風光的位置？上司答 I wanted to make history.（我想創造歷史），並說情報處盯的是那些想 wipe America off the map（把美國徹底抹掉）的人，這比升職更有分量。話鋒後來轉到家事和信仰，他勸埃裡克要 live your faith（踐行信仰），時刻如此。想用英文談職業選擇、理想和信念，這些說法都能派上用場。

下一章 · 05turf protection護地盤這場戲：散會後點破護地盤字面是「從地圖上抹掉」，就是徹底消滅、讓它不復存在。臺詞裡說情報處盯的人想 wipe America off the map，就是想把美國從地圖上抹掉。
advance。You can't advance here unless you're part of it. 意思是不融入這套文化就別想升上去，職場裡說晉升、往上爬都能用。
gun culture。臺詞裡說 The FBI is a gun culture. 就是聯邦調查局崇尚用槍，不站執法一線就升不上去，這也是全片的一個背景。
Siberia。Intel's Siberia. 就是用西伯利亞比喻情報處沒人重視、升遷無望，像被髮配到冷宮一樣。
意思是「活出信仰、踐行信仰」，語氣很正式，帶宗教勸誡的意味。漢森用它提醒埃裡克，信仰不能只是嘴上說說，任何時候都要做到。
