storm clouds are gathering, ted. it looks like rain and i don't have a thing to wear.
we're talking about marseille. we're talking about nykwana wombosi. and i'm asking you if this abortion in marseille has anything to do with treadstone. was this treadstone?
yes.
they're putting together an agency oversight committee. they're going to look through everyone's budgets. treadstone is a rather sizable line item in my ledger. what am i going to do about that?
and what if i couldn't do that?
who is she?
no political affiliations?
i'm assuming we're exploring that possibility.
pursuit would indicate that you know exactly where he is.
yes, well, i think we need some fresh eyes on this problem. i'm bringing in some people from upstairs.
i want a second opinion.
i'm not asking.
let's assume that's true.
what if he is working for someone else? what if he turned?
no. we can't risk it.
this doesn't go upstairs.
where?
omigod.
-- he went inside! --
-- inside the house? --
forget it.
we don't know what we're into!
what are you doing?
no you're not. you're not going anywhere. i'm shutting this down.
you just blew up a house in paris! this program is over. call it off.
the treadstone project has actually already been terminated. it was designed primarily as a sort of advanced game program.
we'd hoped it might build into a good training platform, but quite honestly, for a strictly theoretical exercise, we thought it was far too expensive. the cost-benefit ratio was just too high. it's been all but decommissioned at this point.
okay, this is blackbriar. blackbriar is a joint, dod, communications program that we really feel has good traction to it.
