:11:09
These people have threatened my family.
My babies.
:11:13
So l'm telling you,
when the evidence is clear...
:11:15
... I will have a nice story
for you to read about.
:11:17
And all my friends out there,
you will read about yourselves.
:11:21
If you want to play this game...
:11:22
... after l have been reasonable,
l will show you.
:11:26
That's Nykwana Wombosi speaking in Paris
the day before yesterday.
:11:30
He was an irritation before he took power,
a problem...
:11:32
... when he was in power,
and he's been a disaster for us in exile.
:11:36
He's writing a book
about the Agency's history in Africa.
:11:38
He's going to name names.
:11:40
It's basically a shakedown.
He's demanding the Agency's help.
:11:43
He wants us to put him back in power
in six months, or else.
:11:47
This interview, and l'll make the tape
available to whoever wants it...
:11:50
...he goes on to claim that he's just survived
an assassination attempt.
:11:54
He says it's us. He says he's got proof.
:11:58
The Director wants to know
if there's any truth...
:12:01
...in this accusation.
:12:03
L've already assured him there's nobody
that reckless on my senior staff.
:12:13
ABBOTT: L was recalling a conversation
we had some time ago.
:12:16
Talking about Treadstone.
:12:18
L seem to remember Wombosi's name
might have come up.
:12:23
L'm not sure what we're talking about.
:12:25
Someone tried to take him out.
:12:27
Tried and failed.
:12:30
Was this Treadstone?
:12:33
You're asking me a direct question?
:12:36
Yes.
:12:38
L thought you were never gonna do that.
:12:40
What happened?
:12:42
Well, we lost the communication
with our man.
:12:47
This was almost two weeks ago.
:12:49
CONKLIN: We've worked around the clock.
:12:51
We've been sleeping down there.
We're doing everything we can.
:12:55
ABBOTT: And you don't let me know this?
CONKLIN: You never wanted to before.
:12:59
You never made a mistake before.
