Plot Summary

Senior NSA Assistant Director Thomas Reynolds meets in a public park with Congressman Phil Hammersley to discuss a new piece of counterterrorism legislation that would dramatically expand the surveillance powers of American intelligence agencies. Hammersley remains committed to blocking its passage, arguing that the potential benefits of the bill are not worth sacrificing the privacy rights of ordinary citizens for. Reynolds, wanting the bill passed to obtain a long-delayed promotion, has agents loyal to him murder Hammersley and stage his death as a car accident following a heart attack.

Key Events

Labor lawyer Robert Clayton Dean works on a case involving restaurant owner and mob boss Paulie Pintero. Dean meets with his ex-girlfriend, Rachel Banks; Rachel works for “Brill”, a man Dean occasionally hires to conduct surveillance operations but has never met in person. She delivers a tape incriminating Pintero for labor racketeering, with which Dean threatens him to ensure the mobster agrees to a favorable settlement.

Reynolds and his team spot biologist Daniel Zavitz swapping out a tape from a remote wildlife camera stationed across the lake from the murder scene. After viewing footage of the murder, Zavitz contacts a journalist to publicize the tape. Reynolds’ team intercepts the call and rush to Zavitz’s apartment. Zavitz transfers the video to a disc and hides it in an NEC TurboExpress game console before fleeing. He bumps into Dean, his old college friend. Panicked, Zavitz slips the disc into Dean’s shopping bag without his knowledge. He runs into the path of an oncoming fire truck and dies, while Reynolds has the journalist murdered.

Resolution

Looking for the disc, Reynolds’ team identify Dean and visit him disguised as cops. When Dean refuses to let them search his belongings without a warrant, the agents erroneously believe that he is knowingly withholding the disc. They break into Dean’s house while he and his family are out and plant bugs in his clothes and personal effects. They also disseminate false evidence that Dean is laundering money through his firm for Pintero and having an affair with Rachel. The subterfuge destroys Dean’s life: he is fired from his law firm, his bank accounts are frozen pending a federal investigation, and his wife, Carla, throws him out.

Dean and Lyle trail Congressman Sam Albert, a key supporter of the bill, and record a videotape of him with his mistress. Dean and Lyle hide an NSA listening device in Albert’s hotel room, knowing that he will find it. Lyle then hacks into Reynolds’ personal bank account and deposits money to make it look like he is being paid to blackmail Albert. A meeting is arranged with Reynolds to exchange the video so he can be tricked into incriminating himself.
