Dangerous Assignment: Colonel Chan (New Guinea)

Dangerous assignment. Transcribe starring Bram Dunlaby as Steve Mitchell. Yeah, 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 that this assignment is going to prove that sometimes the nicest thing that can happen to a guy is to get kidnapped.

Morning Commissioner. You sent for me. Steve, does the name Ellis Chan? Let me know anything to you. Ellis Chan, they're sure. Otherwise known as the notorious Colonel Chan, so do you. Colonel Chan, soldier of fortune. He'd been in the Orient for years. Do anything for a fast buck.

Right now, he's in the business of smuggling guns and ammunition into the islands of the South Pacific. That sounds like Chan, alright. He's operating an air freight line out of Port Moresby in New Guinea. We've kept our eye on him for some time.

So far, we've been unable to find out who he's working for, where the guns are coming from. Oh, China, probably. Last night, as Colonel Chan was preparing to take off from the air strip at Moresby, our men decided to close in.

But he managed to get away on a hail of bullets. That guy is as slippery as a needle and a barrel of oil. He can get very far though. Early this morning his plane crashed in the car all sea, just off the salamance.

The neighbor destroyer picked him up. He was badly injured. Where is he now, Commissioner? The destroyer is taking him back to the hospital at Port Moresby. Get over there, Steve. Check with Jim Turner. He's in charge of the case.
