* UndercoverAsLovers: US Customs Agent Robert Mazur is married, so he turns down a beautiful prostitute arranged for him by the bad guys. To keep his cover he tells them he's engaged, but then Customs insists on providing a female agent as his fiancee. She turns out to be quite good at her role, though there's this moment of sexual tension when they almost have GladToBeAliveSex after witnessing a murder. There's also an unpleasant scene when a criminal comes across him having an anniversary dinner with his real wife. He has to pretend she's his secretary who he's rewarding for her good work, and then (to the shock of his wife) [[BecomingTheMask insults and brutally assaults]] the waiter for bringing him the 'wrong' cake (marked Happy Anniversary).
