One of them had been bruised by a bullet, but incredibly, they're fine. And they stumble out of the plane and immediately they're surrounded by Chinese soldiers. And they yell at Jack, you are Jack. You're in China. You are Jack. They knew it was an ambush, as Jack said, like in the movies. And they knew who he was and that he was coming. And it was an enormous prize for the Chinese.

Because it was the CIA. It was a secret war. And the Chinese, for a number of reasons, didn't announce this initially. You would think if, again, if the situation had been reversed and a Chinese spy plane had been captured in the United States, we'd be hearing about it quickly.

But on the other side, in the United States, they originally got a report back that the drop had been successful, and then the plane just disappeared. They heard nothing further.

So back at CIA headquarters, they made up a cover story that a civilian aircraft with two civilian employees of the army had disappeared over the Sea of Japan. An intensive search was mounted. And then the story went dark. Downey's family was told that he was probably dead. They didn't really know what happened. And for two years, there was nothing about it.
