The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

And they don't have a sort of logical or kind of a shared background that could be used to explain why they're all...

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

walking out of the airport together, right?

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

And so, what do you do, Gordon, with this group of people?

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

Last time, we started off with you bashing a few of the ideas that had been ginned up.

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

Where does Gordon Carrera's alpha, his creative flow take it?

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

And I think the answer on the smuggling side is...

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

And why he doesn't go down that road?

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

Maybe two reasons, maybe three.

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

The first one is I think it's logistically more complicated because you have to think about what compartment are they being smuggled out in?

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

Is that a boat or is that a car?

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

It's six people.

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

Do you need multiple vehicles?

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

All of a sudden, the logistics train to accomplish that becomes complicated.

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

So that's one reason.

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

I think the second reason is if you're caught...

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

You're dead.

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

Yeah.

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

And it's a massive flap.

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

The third reason is that Mendez maybe is a bit of recency bias here, but it makes sense.

The Rest Is Classified
161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

Mendez has just successfully walked someone eight or so months earlier out of the airport.
