| I was under the impression that he just 'skipped town' when he realised the jig was up! I mean - if Jack can call in big favours, I get the feeling Maybourne might have been able to too.
So, he skipped town to go to Russia - then, after the Watergate situation the Russians handed him back over as a gesture of goodwill or gratitude.
The bit I don't get is how Jack managed to get him out in the S5 ep - that is one big favour! Although maybe Maybournes incarceration would have been a secret anyway - you can't very well go around telling everyone why you are locking those kind of traitors up for - it would kinda undermine the whole secrecy angle, right? |
