Scenes with Marty Cantor
4 scenes Marty Cantor Marty Cantor [about Paddy O'Neil and the pictures he provided to Jack]
You tell O'Neil that you're looking for a girl, he gives you the pictures of a girl. He obliges you to get you off his back. And you believe him?
I didn't tell him I was looking for a girl, Marty.
Marty Cantor [about Sean Miller]
They were moving him to Albany Prison in the Isle of Wight while it happened. We think he's left the country.
Marty, excuse me. Let's deal in what we know and not what we don't. We know he's escaped. We know it happened in Kent near the Channel. If he's left the country... Jack, listening? The chances he'd come here, that he'd try, that he could come here are so remote, I have trouble even saying it.
And yet your first instinct was to come all the way here and tell me.
So, SO-13 traced the weapons used in the Lord Holmes incident to an arms dealer that supplies Qaddafi. Now, when Sean Miller escaped, he was last seen in a Zodiac heading out into the Channel in a gale, which didn't make much sense until I checked on the freighters that were out there that day. Syrian registry, known to carry arms from the Middle East to client states in the Mediterranean, including Qaddafi.
Rose So, Miller takes a slow boat to North Africa.
Exactly. Now, we send our birds up over the desert, photographing, what, how many camps?
CIA Analyst
182.
182 camps a day in North Africa. Libyan bases, PLO, Red Brigade, Action-Directe, West German Red Army faction. But on the day that this particular ship docked in Benghazi, there's activity in only nine camps with people arriving. Now, this one we know for sure is PLO, this one's Shining Path, these seven we're not so sure about. Why?
CIA Analyst
Uh, well, we got satellites...
Well, because the people in those camps know probably better than we do exactly what time the satellite's going to pass overhead. And Marty, unless you authorize us to re-task those satellites so we can get a look before they're overhead from the side, we are never going to know which camp they're at.
Marty Cantor Jack, do you have any idea how big a deal it is to re-task those satellites?
Yeah.
