Factual error: In Suzhou Prison, presumably the Suzhou near Shanghai, all the prison guards are speaking Cantonese, which is a southern dialect. They should be speaking either Mandarin (Putonghua) or their regional dialect.

Question: What exactly does Tom Bishop do in the prison in Suzhou, China in the first act of Spy Game? I mean, what are each of his and his partner's steps? So what was their plan step by step? Why is the chewing gum important?





Answer: Bishop's plan to rescue Hadley was to enter the prison posing as doctors inoculating the prisoners and guards for a cholera outbreak, faking his death by electrocution (taking a capsule to stop his heart), which also disabled the cameras, then being revived by an injection. The wrapper of the chewing gum was a map of the cells. Once he located and freed Hadley, she was placed under the gurney where his "dead" body was supposed to be, which would leave in the ambulance they arrived in. Unfortunately, the gum he gave the prisoner tipped off the warden and they were captured.
