Dangerous Assignment: Suspicous Explosions (Japan)

Dangerous assignment, starring Brian Donlevay as Steve Mitchell. Dangerous my assignment, I get sent to a lot of places I can't even pronounce, they all spell the same thing, the old trouble. But when I walk into the Commissioner's office I don't realize that this assignment's gonna wind up with me in a spot where if I play my cards just right, only one guy'll get killed, me.

Morning Commissioner. Steve, welcome back. Your vacation last long enough, do they ever? Well, you're playing leaves for Japan in one hour. Brother, you just don't waste a minute, Japan. Last time I was there, as I remember, I was shot at, stabbed, and beaten up in that order.

Well cheer up Steve, if you're lucky, this time you'll only get blown up. Oh, you're a real clown this morning. Unfortunately, I'm not kidding. Well, in that case, I better go out and not come back in again.

Steve, there's no time for foolishness. What's the deal? Just what I told you a moment ago. You mean getting blown up? Exactly. Steve, as you know, negotiations were a just peace treaty with Japan who dragged on for a long time now.

What's holding them up? Two different groups who are diametrically opposed to each other. One of them is the same set of interests which seem to be bucking us all over the world, but the other is a small but rabid nationalist sect, actually an organization of fanatics.

And we're right in the middle, eh? Fine. But I still don't see what this has got to do with getting blown up. Steve, during the last week, three explosions have taken place in Tokyo. Each time a man was killed, and each time that man was connected in some way with the negotiations.
