James passes the initial security screening and is bussed with the rest of his class to The Farm in rural Virginia where they undergo training as potential operatives. While there, James develops an attraction to Layla Moore (Moynahan) and a rivalry with Zack (Macht) who is James’ competition for top of the class.One night during a training exercise in which James and Layla are paired together to tail a mark, they are abducted by masked assailants and imprisoned where they are tortured psychologically and physically for several days.
Their interrogators wish to know what happens at The Farm and the names of those who teach there. After resisting for days, James breaks when he’s told about Layla’s brutal treatment. He reveals Burke’s name, at which point it’s revealed that the whole experience was part of the exercise that the class was observing, including Layla, and that James failed by breaking. He is then dismissed from The Farm and the Agency.Later, Burke seeks out a despondent James and informs him that his discharge was part of a cover story because he’s been selected as a non-official cover operative, or “NOC”.
