CIA disguise, and this is how tight the connection had become between the OTS crew at Hollywood, is that CIA disguise officers are actually doing apprenticeships on Chambers film sets.

And Chambers, in some cases, is rotating into training exercises that the CIA is doing at the farm in Virginia, where on at least one occasion, he role-played a fictional border guard.

That's great.

He's enmeshed and he and Mendez really, really like each other.

So Chambers helps Mendez with all kinds of wild operations, including how to make prosthetics that make case officers appear to have aged 20 years overnight, to change their

bone structure with dental appliances to have a different gait, to walk differently.

Chambers has this great line about disguise where he says, the hardest part of the face to disguise is the ear.

Nobody looks at ears, but they notice them when they're wrong.

So this is a guy who I think, like Mendez, is a craftsman.

These are two craftsmen who just happen to end up in the middle of a spy story.

So by January of 1980, Mendez is

headed back to Ottawa for another trip.

And this is a part, I mean, Gordon, I'll just nod here to the Canadian cooperation because there's a whole piece to the preparation for this exfil that is deep connection between the CIA's Office of Technical Service and the Canadians over how to make these documents appear accurate for the exfil.

To show how enmeshed the Canadians are in this, Mendes actually pitches the Canadians first on the Hollywood idea.

I will offer.

I actually don't believe in Bigfoot.

Do you have a Bigfoot thing in the UK?

No, I don't believe in Bigfoot.
