Jack's out recording sounds and we hear an owl, frog, wind, etc, but he can't pick up where that "zip - click, zip - click" is coming from. I've seen this movie a dozen times and never figured out it was Burke's watch gadget.

So may good scenes and moments, too. I love the look jack gives the Ryan aid when he quickly says the girl has been take care of. Or when he tells the other guy he wasn't "bobbing for apples."

Ah yes - his garrote. I just watched this film for the first time in many years (love it), and I was also wondering what that sound was but forgot about it by the time the movie was over.

So what was he doing, just playing with it? Because he didn't need it to shoot out a tire.
