Spy Game Trivia Quiz

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

Bishop broke this rule by trying to rescue his girlfriend, and then Muir broke his own rule by rescuing Bishop and the girl.
