    • Trivia
      When Soviets steal Maxwell's FBI parking spot he jabs at them "you guys really blew it in Egypt". The year before, 1980 (when filming probably took place) Egyptian Leader Anwar Sadat had grew tired of former ally Soviet Union's condemnation of Egyptian-Israel peace progress. He expelled Soviet diplomats and also it was announced that Afghan Guerillas were training in Egypt to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Sadat would be assassinated months after this show aired in early 1981.

      Bill says everyone is polygraphed every 6 months, but polygraphs are administered as part of the hiring process and then every 5 years when their national security background investigation is updated assuming there has been nothing unusual or changing positions.
    • Quotes

      Ralph Hanley: Bill, we are just sitting down to enjoy a nice dinner.

      Bill Maxwell: Oh, you were? Well, in that case, please don't let 20 years down the drain of dedicated service interrupt any of your plans for dinner. I mean, let's get out the Iranian caviar, give the Ayatollah something to really cheer about.
