Covert Affairs, Season 1

Annie:
Hey, Auggie, why did Joan say I might have a shot 'cause I'm new?

Auggie:
McAuley is Christopher McAuley. He was a deep cover op who served for fifteen years and knew everyone who ever had anything to do with east Africa. One of his old contacts might know something about Hassan's movements, but McAuley retired five years ago.

Annie:
Why do I feel like I'm still missing something?

Auggie:
When I say he retired I mean he had a nervous breakdown, quit the CIA, moved to the middle of nowhere Virginia and hasn't contacted us since. I can actually hear you frowning.

Annie:
On a scale of none to a lot, how many people have tried to bring him in?

Auggie:
Almost every single person in that room.

Annie:
So this is basically a fool's errand?

Auggie:
You can think of it as more of a hazing ritual if it makes you feel better.
