"Bureau" is the twenty-second episode of the third season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It is the 67th overall episode of the series and is written by David Phillips & Alison Agosti and directed by Ryan Case. It aired on Fox in the United States on April 12, 2016.
The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. In the episode, Holt brings in a former partner, FBI Agent Bob Annderson, for assistance in catching the informant. Meanwhile, Amy continues trying to get closer to Maura while Terry and Gina investigate a leak on the precinct.
The episode was seen by an estimated 2.07 million household viewers and gained a 0.9/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received acclaim from critics, who praised the writing in the episode, as well as Dennis Haysbert's performance.
Having problems in identifying Figgis' informant, Holt (Andre Braugher) calls his former partner, FBI Agent Bob Annderson (Dennis Haysbert) for help. After getting information of the description, Annderson deduces that fellow FBI Agent Ryan Whealon (Jon Root) may be the informant, while Amy (Melissa Fumero) continues getting closer to Maura Figgis (Aida Turturro).
They decide to go after Whealon's files, which are stored in the FBI building. With the help of Annderson, Jake (Andy Samberg), Holt and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) manage to retrieve the file from the building. Meanwhile, the precinct suffers a problem when the arrest count gets leaked and Terry (Terry Crews) and Gina (Chelsea Peretti) headline the investigation. However, Gina finds out that Terry accidentally leaked the count in a photo which he posted online.
Amy's investigation is disrupted when Maura develops feelings for Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio). The operation is also nearly jeopardized when Genevieve (Mary Lynn Rajskub) calls Boyle. Back in Brooklyn, the gang raids Whealon's house, finding him wounded. Deeming him the informant, Holt and Annderson stay in the hospital while Rosa and Jake leave. However, Amy calls Jake and tells him that Maura said that there's another informant: Annderson. Jake calls Holt, who is being held at gunpoint by Annderson (who also smothered Whealon).
