At the beginning of the episode, you'll see Steimetz in the picture because Brenner is a double agent who is making money from the CIA as an "informant". To be blunt, he's a traitor.
I've always wondered why the CIA Director wasn't suspcious of the extravagant lifestyle of one of his agents (Brenner). I mean, do you think the CIA pays THAT MUCH?
