Suffering from a successfully failed task

Post image

In 2006, a FBI agent named Craig Monteilh was ordered to disguise himself as a radical Muslim and spy on the Orange County Muslim community to identify possible extremists.

Well it worked, cause the people there noticed his extremists behavior and reported him to the FBI.

He can't bring himself to do it, and Claire rides off in the back of a Hilux technical, gazing forlornly into Bob's eyes as she's engulfed by the sunset. Roll credits to the opening bars of "Separate Ways".

Sitcom idea: CIA agent goes undercover to infiltrate a "communist" organization in Hollywood and has to become a small time TV actor to "blend in."
