Spy Game

Plot hole: Muir is retiring after 30 years with the C.I.A. You would think considering his years of service and the people he was working with (especially Troy) it would have already been known that he had been married only once and not four times like he was letting on.

Mistakes

Factual error: The "American Consulate in Hong Kong" is actually the HSBC building. The actual consulate building is nearby, but perhaps not so photogenic.

Questions

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.
