    Colter, while in the Adirondacks, gets called to Vancouver, er,
    Manhattan. He appears to arrive instantly as the husband of the vanished
    woman is outside the store, but he claims the owner agreed to open up
    for him the next day.

    Colter learns that the vanished woman worked at an office that was
    actually a front for espionage, and that five of her fellow co-workers
    are dead.

    Colter finds himself in the middle of Three Days of the Condor! Several changes: the missing wife is the Tina Chen character, the corruption is
    limited to the supervisor Eileen (Gabrielle Rose), and the office is the command and control center for some satellites.

    Why are satellites controlled from Vancouver, er Manhattan, and not
    Chantilly or Fort Meade?

    Eileen kept the wife alive because two are required to control a
    satellite's repositioning and that she is doing it on behalf of an
    unnamed foreign adversary. She had the husband kidnapped to pressure the
    wife. Anyway, Colter has no trouble finding the husband.

    Dumb but they've done worse episodes. It's a little fun.

    I cannot suspend disbelief that he found parking spaces for the pickup
    truck and camper.

    Doesn't he disconnect the camper and just drive the pickup? Idon't
    recall any scenes of them parked as one unit in Vancou^w Manhattan..?

    Also... did you pick up the Easter Egg when... we found out
    the name of the regional Big Boss (the one she called at end
    to report the breech)?

    It was "Bartholomew", as in the character played by Archibald Leach
    in the movie "Charade".

    The camper is mysterious. In one episode, the one with the witch, he left
    it behind wherever he first got the call, but then he went and picked it up between rescuing the witch and coming to the witches house for his money. I have no idea where he left it or how it was possibly secure. In another episode, the cute lawyer came to visit him, and she commented that the
    camper was in the exact same place it was in the first episode, even though
    he moves it every week.

    I have a lot of questions. Why did the wife disappear in the first place?
    What was the original plan? She’s saying that if the wife hadn’t run, they could’ve just replaced the dead people and nobody would ever notice that
    the satellite had been redirected? Wouldn’t you leave one of the four
    people she murdered alive tied up in a closet just in case she lost the
    wife?
