Oh, yeah, okay, so the embassy of the Russian Federation.
There it is.
It's very big.
It's a big one.
That's the house you want.
It's right across the road.
Well, the Russian embassy are looking for a place.
You and I went and looked at the Russian embassy in Canberra and the fact it doesn't exist at the moment.
So, look, yeah, I mean, I could find some very specific spots the Russian embassy could go so that I could knock down some trees.
That sounds great.
Oh yeah.
This is where we get into the area that I love.
It's worth noting though, just contextually for this time, the CIA and the FBI in the late 1970s, this is their lowest moment.
Everybody hates them at this stage.
All of the corruption of J. Edgar Hoover, all of the terrible programs of the CIA doing illegal tests on people, invading places, torturing people, all of that has all come out in the late 1970s through congressional inquiries after Watergate.
People really do not like or trust these guys.
And so they really want to win, I would have thought.
And the way that they're going to do it is by reenacting The Great Escape, but they're getting into the embassy.
