这场戏：内鬼正是专案组负责人
第 11 章 · 共 20 章 · 2'14"
凯特摊开一张纸，说漏掉的真相：两年前局里组建专案组找内鬼，结果负责人就是汉森本人——He was smarter than all of us.（他比我们所有人都聪明）。想聊情报圈「获准知情」，用 be read in；想吐槽努力被人「使前功尽弃」，一个 undo 就够。
「别往心里去」英语是 take nothing personally
take nothing personally 别往心里去out of the office 不在办公室sweeping his car 彻底搜查他的车out of his sight 离开他的视线
❝ 独白 · 6 句 普莱萨克的追查往事
从「几年前」慢慢铺开，短句递进，把多年无果的挫败越讲越重。
凯特把一张纸推到埃里克面前，说出他一直没被告知的真相：几年前，局里很多线人接连失踪，于是组建专案组追查内鬼，查了好几年都没揪出人来，而负责这个专案组的，正是汉森本人。凯特说 He was smarter than all of us.（他比我们所有人都聪明），真正让她难受的是，自己整个职业生涯都被他废掉了。这场戏值得记几个词：be read in 指「获准知情」，情报圈里代表你有权知道内情；undo 指「使前功尽弃」，用它形容努力被一笔勾销；assets 指「情报线人」，是这类间谍片里的高频行话。想看懂办公室密谈和间谍题材，这几个词都绕不开。
