It's not illegal. It's suspect, but it isn't illegal. I think the IRS might think it's illegal. What do you want, Kate? What would you like done here? I want to follow some semblance of procedure. That's what I want. To build a prosecutable case. We prosecuted more felony drug cases in this region last year than in the two previous years combined. Are you feeling that on the street?

Advisors like Matt come in, they stir the pot, they cause the criminals to react and make mistakes. That's how we build cases against the individuals that actually make a difference in this fight. It's when they're nervous, when they stop trusting their crews, when they move their money. These are all opportunities to strike. And that's the purpose of people like Matt. JENNINGS: Kate, this isn't something that I dreamed up myself. I don't have the authority to hire advisors or authorize joint agency missions, or fly agents from Air Force bases. Are you understanding me? These decisions are made far from here by officials elected to office, not appointed to them. So if your fear is operating out of bounds, I am telling you, you are not. The boundary's been moved.

You sound like my mother. Maybe I am your mother. First we work on personal hygiene, then we move on to the shopping. Get you some potatoes, yeah? Eat some food... Where have you taken me? What is this place?
