Transcript

Dangerous assignments starring Brian Donlevay as Steve Mitchell. Danger is my assignment. I get sent to a lot of places I can't even pronounce. They all spell the same thing though.

Trouble. But when I walk into the Commissioner's office, I don't realize this assignment's going to wind up with a native bend it giving me a big break by heaving a knife at me. Morning Commissioner.
