Elizabeth was born in London, she has one brother and two sisters. She becomes involved with political activists and they decide to target the Chinese government by bombing what they think is an empty building. It isn't, and the nephew of the Chinese Premier dies.Faced with the prospect of arrest, trial and imprisonment, Elizabeth promply leaves England and puts her language and nursing skills to good use in a refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon, which is safe from extradition treaties. To help run the camp she seeks funds from any and every source, including hezbollah, and any western charity.This attracts the attention of the CIA who now regard her as perhaps dangerous. She sees a handsome young man in a bar. He sees her, and takes a second look. The next day, he sees her at the Post Office collecting a parcel clearly labelled as medical supplies. The next day, he goes looking, and finds her at the camp. She sees him, and the look lingers.He soon returns with a car load of antibiotics, bandages and linen. They meet. He tells her he is a free-lance photo-journalist named Terry, there to cover the near-continuous factional fighting. In reality, he is Tom Bishop, a CIA contract agent sent to Beirut to assassinate a terrorist commander. They click. He moves into her apartment.Bishop's CIA controller, Nathan Muir, sets out to destroy the relationship. He tells Bishop that Elizabeth is a fanatic, and can't go back to England. Elizabeth is furious, Bishop is angry. When Elizabeth explains why she can't go back, she then asks Bishop his real name. He won't say. But three days later there is a knock on her apartment door. Most contritely, Bishop says... My name is Tom. They are reconciled.But Muir is determined to get rid of her. He brokers a deal with the Chinese and she is abducted and shipped off to a prison in China. The apartment is stripped and a Dear John... note left for Bishop, who reluctantly accepts that she has gone.Six years later, whilst on another operation in Hong Kong, Bishop learns about the white woman in a nearby jail. He realizes it must be Elizabeth.One rescue attempt fails, and Bishop is captured and tortured and is due to be executed. When Muir learns that the CIA will not intervene to save Bishop, he forges the Director's signature to authorize another rescue operation and uses his retirement savings to bribe a Chinese power company official to get a 30 minute black-out at the prison. The helicopters land, Bishop and Elizabeth are rescued. Show less «
