CIA Director: Who are you?


Maya: I'm the *beep* who found this place, sir


So I guess Maya was she trying to impress the Director with foul language??

She marched to her own drum. Like when she tore apart the Station Chief in the hallway, all within earshot of a room full of underlings who all stood up when he walked in the room. Love that scene.

Yeah, the use of m/f was a bit much but it was just another small way of showing that CIA field spies are a different breed from the starched shirts that work at headquarters. Made me wonder what was next for Maya after the Bin Laden case closed. She couldn't go back to Afghanistan do more Al Quaida work because she was on their "list". She certainly didn't fit in as a desk spy in Washington.

Too bad this gets censored down to nothing on regular TV.

Leon Panetta the Director CIA at the time--being played by J.Gandolfini- doesn't look like the type that uses that much vulgar language. I wasn't expecting that. And do I think Maya would say something like that? No.
