The tunnel is still getting built.
It's costing an extraordinary amount of money, like millions and millions of dollars, and it's eating up a huge piece of the FBI budget.
Then in the mid-80s.
something happens that really ramps the requirement for knowing what's going on up, and that's basically that double agents that the CIA had had been compromised inside the KGB and were executed.
Oh.
Two big people...
were executed, a guy called Sergei Motorin and Valery Martinov were executed, which was an absolutely huge loss for the CIA.
US intelligence, the CIA fully didn't understand why this was happening.
They're like, what's going on?
How do we lose our people?
And the FBI says, okay, this tunnel's just ramped up in its requirement.
We got to really start pouring literally all the money we have into this tunnel.
Exactly.
As they're digging the tunnel, they get word from inside the Soviet construction site
that the Soviets are drilling holes 30 to 40 feet under the ground looking for tunnels.
Of course they are.
And it's around this time that the FBI has a suspicion that there might be a mole telling them about the tunnel.
The FBI is like somebody's telling them what's going on.
So they bring in their counterintelligence team.
which is led by a guy called Robert Hanson.
