Is this one-segment direct flight or a two-segment flights?

I am flyinng to HKG from IAD next week, and my travel agent told me I have a 2-segment flight. On United.com, the following shows:

However, on www.ua2go.com, the following shows:

IAD to HKG flight: 0867
Depart: Jul 19, 2008 at 8:25 AM
Arrive: Jul 19, 2008 at 10:52 AM
Seat: 03A
Depart: Jul 19, 2008 at 1:36 PM
Arrive: Jul 20, 2008 at 6:45 PM
Seat: 02A
It seems the ua2go site is showing a one-segment flight from IAD to HKG, while United.com is showing a two-segment flight.

Which one is it? Over 1,300 BIS are at stake here...
