Dangerous assignment. Transcribe, starring Van Donne-Laviers, 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 commission's office, I don't realize that this assignment's going to show me that sometimes the only way you can come out of one of these deals alive is to ask a guy to shoot you.

Good morning, Commissioner. You sent for me? Steve, you ever hear of yinnyi hop? Sounds like a new jump tune, is it? That name first came to our attention during the court martial of an American Army officer in the Philippines shortly after the war, Major Vance Morgan.

Oh yeah, he had something to do with a disappearance of medical supplies, arms and ammunition from one of our bases there, didn't he? Evidence brought out at the trial was all against Morgan, yet he insisted he was innocent.

He claimed he'd been investigating the matter before his arrest. The theft was the work of an organization headed by this Yinyi Hop. I see. Morgan claimed further that he'd actually seen this Mr. Hop, that he wasn't an oriental but an American.

You see, the matter wasn't dropped after Major Morgan was discharged from the service. You mean this yin-yee hop has been found? We think so. We think he's a man named Sutherland, who is now living in Rangoon.

We're pretty sure he's still active in the business of running guns. Why don't we grab him? We will, as soon as we find someone who can identify him as yin-yee hop. And that's someone as ex-major Morgan, huh? Where is he?
