"They could be spreading them all over Beirut by now." "[Scott] That's bad." "Colonel, I assume your Mossad still has people planted in Lebanon, right?" "Your assumption is correct." "I need to get in contact with one of them." "You mean you want to get in and do some reckoning before the rescue?" "It'd be a great help to us, Colonel." "If I may suggest..."
