"Welcome to the Occupation" ep 208/season 2 — MEXICO CITY

"There are two kinds of operatives. One that's needed in the field. And one that needs the field. You have to decide which kind you're going to be." —Joan Campbell

A hostage situation at an oil company doesn't seem like it would be of interest to the CIA... unless one of the executives is a covert CIA operative. Annie goes undercover with Joan and Ben to assess the situation, which quickly proves to be more complicated than first thought.

• Like "All the Right Friends" and "The Outsiders", this episode was filmed entirely in Toronto, without sending cast or crew on location.
  

   

• In the case of "Welcome to the Occupation", the nature of the story (a hostage situation in a skyscraper) provides one example of how the writers were able to create an international story without going overseas to film.
