One scene - Lithuanian guy, window cleaner remotely deleting files on computer [closed] - Photo Of Man Drinking On Mug

This is a hard one, all I remember is one specific scene, even that one is unclear - a high building, there is a guy on window cleaner lift-platform outside, and two guys inside an office talking about blackmail or something, and there are some files on computer's hard drive.

Then one of them says something like this: "You see that window washer behind me? It's a Lithuanian spy and right now with that 'washing device' he is remotely deleting all files on your hard drive."

Not sure if it was a TV episode or a movie, I saw it on TV, maybe 5 years back.

Additional details: Not a Lithuanian movie, language was English, not an animated movie, and no idea how old.

This seems to be from the Showtime series WEEDS, season three, episode five. "Bill Sussman," aka Mr. Botwin, is in Mr. Wilson's office and is told, in no uncertain terms, that they are surrounded by employees of the Government:

SUIT: You see that window washer outside, cleaning the windows, Mr. Botwin? Notice anything unusual?

BOTWIN: I don't know, should I?

WILSON: He's a white guy?

SUIT: Actually, he's a Lithuanian. And that squeegee he's holding is a remote, currently erasing your hard drive, Mr. Wilson. Would you confirm that for me?

WILSON: (looks at his screen and sees it go wavy then dark) Whoa.

SUIT: That's because that window washer is not a window washer. He works for us. And that janitor in the hallway, he works for us too. Turn on your vacuum, Ivan.

(Vacuum turns on)

SUIT: Turn it off.

(Vacuum goes off)

One more dark and great scene in a ground-breaking dark-comedy series. It was more than a little bit unnerving. No wonder the scene stuck out and was memorable. (To say more is not only a spoiler, but too hard to explain in a succinct fashion.)

No source I'm quoting from, I just played the scene a few times and transcribed it, best and fastest I could.
