Corrected entry: If Burke's goal in the movie is to obtain the secret computer program, and sell it for 3 million...WHY does he need Clayton again? Why would he need to involve him unnecessarily? He could merely have Layla sneak out the data as an "assignment" like she thought and then he'd be done.

Correction: His goal is to frame Clayton. That's why Layla says that Clayton is the double agent. He plans to have Clayton get the program from Layla and bring it to him. No one but Clayton and Burke would know that Clayton brought it to Burke and didn't sell it himself.
