The premise of this piss me off from the start. From the beginning they kept calling her a traitor, the worst in the last 50 years, she got 4 people killed. Having watched the preview the audience was aware she gave the names of 4 people to save her daughter. Yes it was still a crime but it put her no where near the likes of Aldrich Ames or Robert Hanssen. Both of whom were in the last 50 years and got way more than 4 people killed. She was more a victim than a criminal.

Finally near the end of the hour (with her new nickname Hannibal Lecter in place) she tells the FBI dude that she didn't tell anyone, not even at her trial, that she had been forced. She would rather her daughter (and everyone else) believe she was this big sellout traitor rather than have her think 4 people died to keep her safe. These were all people who signed up to do just that. People whose jobs were to put themselves between harms way and the American people.

That was so stupid! It was like the writers and producer just wanted to slap us with their stupidity.

@anthoney65 Yeah. It does get the audience on her side fast though.

btw, do you know what was up with that room they kept her in? like, do they really have such rooms for ex-cia agents or dangerous prisoners, where they can deny them even a book? It was so big and empty.

@dewdropvelvet
They used the name of a real prison. I don't think anyone lives in a box like that but they may be moved to one when they are being visited in that manner.
