Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What time the next morning is Tom Bishop supposed to be executed?

Answer: 8:00 AM

Nathan Muir was being interrogated by the CIA about his knowledge of agent Tom Bishop. Muir asked how long the United States had to claim Bishop as theirs, and the CIA replied that Bishop would be executed in 24 hours if he wasn't claimed. The government didn't want to claim Bishop because his mission in China was unauthorized.

They also did not want to ruin possible trade negotiations when the President went to China the following week.

2. Which person's office did Muir make several phone calls from?

Answer: Andy Unger

Muir took Andy's ID when he was in his office the first time, later he came back and made several phone calls. Muir did this because he knew that the CIA would check the calls coming from his own office and didn't want to tip his hand about what he was doing.

The calls were to Harry Duncan in Hong Kong for an update on Bishop, to CNN to leak the story in hopes of putting pressure on the U.S. government, and another to Duncan to negotiate a blackout at the prison in order to rescue Bishop.

3. What was Nathan Muir's secretary's name?

Answer: Gladys

Muir paged her so that she would call him in the middle of his interrogation with the CIA. He pretended that she was his wife, and found out from her that other members of the CIA were rummaging through his office looking for more files on Bishop.

4. What was the nickname that Harry Duncan and Nathan Muir used for Tom Bishop?

Answer: Boy Scout

Muir and Bishop first worked together in Vietnam. The first job that Bishop performed was to assassinate a Viet-Cong mark. When asked where he learned how to shoot so well, Tom replied "In the Boy Scouts."

5. What was the name of the Chinese prison where Tom Bishop was captured and then imprisoned in?

Answer: Su Chou

At the beginning of the movie Tom Bishop pretended to be a doctor, and went to the prison to inoculate prisoners because of a feared Cholera outbreak. He was on an unauthorized mission to rescue a female agent who was being held captive. Bishop was subsequently captured and imprisoned there himself.

6. What was the name of the operation that the CIA was running, that was in jeopardy because of Tom Bishop?

Answer: Sideshow

Muir picked the name up off the reflection from the glass table in the interrogation room. He caught the CIA off guard when he told them the name of their own operation.

7. What was the name of the operation that Muir orchestrated to save Bishop?

Answer: Dinner Out

Muir was in the interrogation room, talking on the phone to Commander Willey and confirmed that "Dinner Out is a go". The CIA people in the room thought it was an un-romantic way to talk to his wife.

8. In U.S. dollars, how much money did Muir have saved to buy property in the Bahamas?

Answer: 282,000

This was the sum he used to pay for a 30 minute blackout at Su Chou prison in order to get Bishop rescued. When Muir first met Bishop and trained him to be a CIA agent, he told him that if one of his contacts was captured then "you let them go". Bishop broke this rule by trying to rescue his girlfriend, and then Muir broke his own rule by rescuing Bishop and the girl.

9. How did Muir get the CIA Director's signature on the paperwork used in his operation?

Answer: He traced it from a letter congratulating him on his retirement

Muir had just received a framed letter of congratulations on his retirement that morning. Gladys made the comment "It looks like the director signed it himself".

10. What did Tom Bishop give to the scared Chinese man in the prison, at the beginning of the movie?

Answer: A piece of gum

It was what gave him away and got him captured. When the Chinese General saw the man blow a bubble, he knew that somebody was tresspassing.
