1:35:05
Rapid promotion, excelled
at intelligence and communications.
Joined NSA in '65.
1:35:10
- Of course.
- Yeah. He was in the agency till 1980,
when he vanished and went underground.
1:35:15
- Hasn't been seen since.
- That's a long time.
1:35:18
Lots of black bags,
lots of deleteds.
1:35:21
He's familiar
with explosives, obviously.
1:35:24
His last assignment, he went into lran,
late '78, after the Shah.
1:35:28
- This is our problem.
- This man.
1:35:33
So, we were helping
the secret police supply weapons...
1:35:38
to the Afghani rebels
fighting the Soviets.
1:35:40
My partner and I were
on the eastern border monitoring
Soviet military transmissions.
1:35:44
It was kind of fun, actually.
I liked the lranians.
1:35:48
But back in Tehran,
the hard-liners seized the embassy...
1:35:51
and overnight,
the whole country changed.
1:35:54
People we'd been working with,
they turned on us. I got out.
1:35:57
My partner didn't.
1:36:00
By the time I got home,
the whole mission had become
a press disaster waiting to happen.
1:36:03
Aiding and abetting
the new enemy.
1:36:06
The agency conveniently
forgot I existed.
1:36:10
I don't blame them.
It's what they had to do.
1:36:15
I loved the agency.
1:36:18
I loved the work.
I loved the people.
1:36:21
It was my whole life.
1:36:24
Your partner
was Rachel's father.
1:36:26
Yeah. The idea was--
1:36:31
The idea always was that if one
of us got out, he'd take care
of the other's family.
1:36:36
Rachel was all he had, so she became
my promise to him.
1:36:39
- Here you go, hon.
- Thank you.
1:36:46
Maybe we can still keep
that promise in a way.
1:36:49
You're a threat now,
just like I was.
1:36:52
Threat to whom? To them?
1:36:54
To your family, to your friends,
everyone you know, everyone you meet.
1:36:57
That's why I went away and didn't
come back. You gotta go away, Robert.
