-
I'm afraid I have bad news, sir.
-
All of Pavel's team is dead,
-
and Bauer has Pavel.
-
He was ahead of us from the get-go, sir.
-
He must have anticipated that we'd use Echelon,
-
and he put out a series of keywords,
-
knowing the listening stations would pick them up.
-
He played us, sir.
-
He knew we'd use off-book resources to deal with him.
-
He used that journalist to draw them out.
-
Now, sir, I hardly need to tell you that the situation is grave.
-
Pavel knows everything.
