第 5 章 · 共 20 章 · 3'21"
汉森刚接手新部门，会上对同事的穿着指指点点，散会后有人点破，刚才那一幕叫 turf protection（护地盘），并吐槽 'Cause we're the Bureau, and the Bureau knows all（因为我们是联邦调查局，本局无所不知）。想听懂职场里的部门博弈，turf protection 这个词最该记住。

汉森刚接手信息安全处，开会时一边对女同事的穿着说三道四，一边炫耀自己用 0 和 1 写程序的功夫，还大谈淘汰老系统、换到 ATM 和 Linux。埃里克提出会面都走他这边，只说是按规矩来，散会后却被资深探员点破：刚才那一幕就是 turf protection（护地盘）；对方又透露，隔壁房间的分析员正 build a case against（立案对付）一个藏在情报系统里的间谍，甚至可能就在本局，这种组织性傲慢让合作变成 counter-operational（反协作的）。想聊部门抢地盘、合作受阻，这几张卡片都用得上。

That was turf protection you were just watching in there. Didn't you spot it? Organizational arrogance. "No, we don't want to learn anything from the CIA. "We want the CIA answering to us." You know what's going on behind that door? No, sir. Analysts looking for a spy inside the intelligence community. Highest clearance. But there aren't any CIA officers in there. You know why? Because it's a CIA officer we're trying to build a case against. Now, could the mole be someone from the Bureau and not the CIA? Are we actively pursuing that possibility? Of course not. 'Cause we're the Bureau, and the Bureau knows all. Cooperation is counter-operational. And that's the mentality. Of course, the enemies of this country aren't so picky. They'll work with anyone who shares their hatred of us.
你刚才在里面看到的，就是他们在护地盘。 你没看出来吗？那是机构的自大。 “不行，我们才不要向中情局学任何东西。 我们要中情局听命于我们。” 你知道那扇门后面在干什么吗？ 不知道，长官。 分析员在情报系统内部找一个间谍。 最高级别的权限。 可里面一个中情局的人都没有。知道为什么吗？ 因为我们要立案查的，正是一个中情局的人。 那内鬼会不会是咱们局里的人，而不是中情局的？ 我们在积极追查这种可能吗？ 当然没有。 因为我们是联邦调查局，而本局无所不知。 在他们看来，合作就是拆台。这就是他们的心态。 当然了，这个国家的敌人可没这么挑剔。 只要谁跟他们一样恨我们，他们都愿意合作。
