under the radar?

Kowloon Marriott.

What the hell

is going on here, Muir?

- You gotta trust me on this, Harry.

- Why should I trust you?

Jesus, you recommended

Boy Scout to me

in the first place.

- Call me on my cell.

- Muir?

- [ Sighs ]

- What's going on, Unger?

I'm looking for my badge.

I don't understand it--

[ Rapid Beeping ]

Where's Muir?

Looks like he's gone

for the day, sir.

What?

How much longer?

Print them out

and send them up.

[ Cell Phone Ringing]

Yeah?

What now?

- Did you get my fax?

- Yes.

I see an op requiring

three months of prep.

Bishop prepped it

before he piggybacked Sideshow.

So, what, we're going to ask

him for help? He's going to be

dead in six hours.

No, he's got a friend on the inside.

Check the roster for Sideshow.

Well, I'll be damned.

Tran.

He's got all the schematics

for the prison.

- What do we need Deng for?

- Thirty minutes of complete

blackout at Su Chou.

And Harry?

Yeah?

Give me bottom dollar.

[Man Shouting In Chinese ]

[ Gunshot Echoing]

[ Cell Phone Ringing]

- Yeah?

- Deng wants 500,000 yuan for

the power-out at Su Chou.

[ Muir]

No way.

Tell him a hundred "K",

and I'll pay in dollars.

[ Sighing,

Speaking Chinese ]

Well, he won't risk it

for less than 300,

but he will take dollars.

Five years ago,

it would have cost 20 grand.

Five years ago, Deng

would not have had to bribe...

ten employees, two supervisors,

a local politician--

all ofwhom stand to lose

their lives ifthey get caught.

[ Exhales ]

Come on, Muir.

It's not like

it was your money.

T ell 'im 282 grand

in the Grand Cayman account

and that's it.

dd [ "Baywatch" Theme Music ]

Okay. It's a done deal.

Morning, Gladys.

Oh, if the wife calls,

tell her I'll be upstairs.

[ Chattering ]

Good morning, gentlemen.

Director Wilson.

Good morning.

Have a seat.

I, uh, found

some extra stuff on Bishop.

I don't think it's relevant,

but ifyou want to see it--

Harker, you want to

go ahead?

There are a couple of things

that need to be cleared up.

About Bishop?

No, aboutyou, Muir.

About the past 24 hours.

Mr. Muir has been working

against us from the start.

What are you talking about?

I've done nothing but cooperate.

Cooperate?

Have I withheld anything?

Certainly the fact that

Harry Duncan tipped you off...

to Bishop's situation before

you even arrived here yesterday.

- [ Scoffs ]

- Yet you chose to play

dumb with us. Why?

Okay. Then maybe you'd like to

tell us about the calls you placed...

to Duncan from

Andrew Unger's office last night.

- Harry Duncan's a friend--

- Aren't they all.

We were discussing

a personal matter.

Harry Duncan's

gone missing.

Oh, yeah? Well, good for Harry.

He deserves some time away.

With your $282,000?

Muirtransferred that amount to

a Grand Cayman accountyesterday.

As of an hour ago,

it's gone.

You want to accuse me

of something? Accuse me.

Maybe the payoff went to...

Di gby Gibson when

you tipped off the press.

Troy?

Leave Digger out of this.

His paper's a front.

He's MI-6's man

in Hong Kong.

Anything else, Harker?

Yes, sir.

Yesterday, Imagery Analysis

delivered a file...

requested by Muir's secretary

to your office.

Did you receive

that file, sir?

I don't remember seeing it.

It was returned

at 0300 this morning.

All right, give it to me.

Thank you.

Is this China?

Muir?

I believe it is, sir, and I think

it would behoove Mr. Muir...

to tell us exactly what $282,000

has bought him there.

Muir?

It's kind of difficult

to explain.

I thinkyou better

tell us everything.

I've been using company resources

for personal benefit.

Forthe pastyear,

I've been routing

one ofour satellites...

over some retirement property

that I'm thinking about buying.

[ Wilson ]

What the hell is that?

Harkker, let me see that.

Because of the changing

weather patterns and the erosion...

that's occurring along

the coastline of the beaches,

and the fact that

it's my life savings,

I just wanted to be sure.

Sorry.

I believe I'll sit in

for the rest ofthis.

Aiken, where did

you leave offyesterday?

Beirut, sir.

We still don't know how Hadley

wound up in a Chinese prison.

- Should we go

off the record with this, sir?

- No. Let's get on with this.

After the bombing,

Hadley was a concern.

Not only to Middle East ops

but to Bishop's life.

So I brokkered a trade

with the Chinese government,

using Hadley in exchange for

a U.S. diplomat convicted of espionage.

And she was flown

to a high-security prison

near Su Chou, eastern China.

The place was cleared out

and a "Dear John" saying

they were through...

was forged and left

for Bishop to find.

It appears you underestimated

Bishop's feelings for her.

Yeah, I underestimated it.

And you took it upon yourself

to do this deal...

and you were alone in this.

Yeah.Just me.

[ Whispering ]

Muir's secretary

is on the phone.

Your secretary's

on the phone, line one.

- Yeah?

- I've got Commander Wiley.

Okay, connect us.

Commander Wiley, sir.

Fax received.

What's the verdict?

- We're on for tonight.

- Roger, sir. Understand.

Operation Dinner Out

is a go. Confirm?

Correct. Dinner Out is a go.

"Dinner Out's a go??"

Helluva way to speak

to your wife.

Why do you think

they keep dumping him?

How did Bishop find out

where she was?

Couldn't have been too hard.

Small world, people talk.

A white face

in a Chinese prison stands out.

He's well trained.

Should've known

he'd find out.

[ Clears Throat ]

Any other questions?

Yeah, one.

Ifyou'd known he was going after her,

would you have told us?

No.

[Aikken ] Do we edit

the transcript or let it stand?

The Agency can't be responsible for

some crazy thing Bishop did on his own.

I'm sorry...

about Bishop.

So am I.

We done here?

Nondisclosure agreement.

Aren't you going to read it?

- Read it a thousand times.

- Aiken, would you escort...

Mr. Muirfrom the building?

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

- Dinner with his wife?

- Why?

- He said he had four wives.

- I'm changing phones.

- There was one in Germany.

- [Harkker] His first wife was Korean.

- [ Byars ] And Peggy, that's three.

- He was only married once.

This is BlackkHawkk One,

we're inbound.

Operation Dinner Out

accomplished.

What did you say?

Nothing.

- Just that we're

on our way home, sir.

- No. Operation what?

Dinner Out, sir.

Who are the others?

[ Man ]

Here it is. Patricia Lemour,

Sandra Harris and Peggy Dye,

all agents

or civilian assets.

They were all cover wives.

Then who was

he talking to?

[ Phone Ringing ]

[ Si ghs ] There's been

an incident in China.

Oh, Jesus Christ.
