  2. I think you may be confusing it with "Shadow Conspiracy". This building indeed appeared there.

  3. Great info. However, a portion of the garage chase was filmed in Bethesda, Md. The film's security people kept us away from the Discovery building garage. The Discovery headquarters has since moved to Silver Spring.

  4. Any idea where the final scenes are supposed to be and/or are filmed when Darby is out of the country?
