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

He is originally from the Midwest, but he'd studied at the Sorbonne in Paris.

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

He speaks German, Spanish, Persian, and French.

161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

Fairly valuable and very good with documents.

And in Europe, both guys were going to go in, Ed slash Julio and Tony.

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

They're going to go get legal visas to Iran under their alias identities.

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

So both guys get these legal visas to Iran under their alias identities.

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

Again, you don't...

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

You don't want to forge those if you can help it.

And so Mendez, on the morning of the 23rd of January, drives from Frankfurt to Bonn with a disguise officer to obtain his own Iranian visa.

161. Argo: Six Fugitives in Revolutionary Tehran (Ep 2)

Now, Mendez is going to use an alias of Kevin Costa Harkins.

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

who is allegedly the Studio 6 production manager in charge of Argo.

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

It is an alias that he has used before.

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

He's already got these documents.

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

He's got the sort of identity of Kevin Costa Harkins, although now he'll be a production manager working on Argo.

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

Harkins, the alias, has an apartment off Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco.

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

Lovely.

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

Mendes doesn't say, but I think, I'm reading between the lines a little bit here, but I think in reading the memoir, I think it's an Irish identity.

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

That is my guess.

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

A little disguise.

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

Yeah.
