Location scouting in Ronda, Spain.

Foot and mouth disease across Europe resulted in closed borders and problems getting our Porsche cars on location. And bad weather in the Sierra de Grazalema National Park grounded our helicopter and closed the roads we had had blocked for the shoot. Determined that the show must go on, some rather "unusual" arrangements were made with the local Guardia Civil [seen here with our stunt driver / former NASCAR champion, Bobby Unser Jr].

Hayes & Cohen disappear in Tangier. Pete Kerr gets us out of a jam. It's a wrap in Spain.

Tokyo, Japan.

Tokyo, Japan.

Our permit to shoot at the Shibuya Crossing had been revoked by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Dept. Getting the job done required a meeting between Whitty and the Yakuza - we became the first agency to film a commercial the at the busiest intersection in the world.

Tokyo, it's a wrap.

Savoring the moment we won the Applied Materials account at Raffles in Singapore.

Whitty's early visits to Hong Kong via Kai Tak International Airport were hair-raising events.

Our campaign for Applied Materials breaks in Hong Kong.

I attended my first Fortune Global Forum in Hong Kong and sat near Chinese President Jiang Zemin and U.S. President Bill Clinton.

A memorable cigar / martini with President Bill Clinton at the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Happy Valley Racecourse - flush with booze, Whitty asked President Clinton to sign his racing form guide. He obliged. The horse won!

Our "A-Bomb" client, John "Aristotle" Phillips.

In the Ukraine, John "Aristotle" Phillips helped expose the vote fraud being perpetrated by the Kremlin, which in turn gave rise to mass protests, and what was to become known around the world as the Orange Revolution.

In addition to the Ukraine and Afghanistan, our client and friend John Aristotle Phillips has also worked in Tunisia, Uganda, and Venezuela. But, while he has been witness to some appalling abuses of power, nothing could prepare him for his recent brush with mortal danger in Kenya. Just days after the torture and murder of a key election official, John was dragged from his hotel in Nairobi by a heavily armed gang of plainclothes police. He was handcuffed and bundled into the back of a hatch-back and driven out into the jungle. One of his abductors passed a machine gun from the front seat to the back and John saw a piece of rope and a military-style helmet. One of the men was playing a video on his phone that depicted torture and killings. The police agents drove the car to a rural area, and, about three and a half or four hours later, they turned down a quiet road. JP was convinced he would be killed, but he was eventually transferred from the trunk of the hatchback to the back seat of a van. Some time later, at around midnight, he was taken to the airport and put into a cell. The next morning JP was moved to a guarded room upstairs in the airport, where he met officials from the American embassy and the FBI, before being deported.
