Dangerous Assignment: The Jade Dagger (Cairo)

Dangerous assignment. Transcribe starring Brian Dunnevere, 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, all trouble. But when I walk into the commissioner's office, I don't realize that this assignment's going to teach me never to ask to see a knife in a shop window.

You may get it in the back. Morning Commissioner. You sent for me. Steve, it looks like we've been put on the hook again. again. There was an attempt made in Cairo last night on the life of a prominent Egyptian political figure.

Oh, how do we fit into the picture? There would be a Sassan was described as an American. The word is being spread around, and he was one of our agents. What now? Sure, another frame up Steve. The third incident in as many weeks.

And the reason? We've been holding talks with the Egyptian and other Near East governments, trying to set up a program of closer cooperation. Certain interests are definitely hostile to the idea. So someone is trying to sabotage those talks by stirring up public opinion against the US?

Right. The target for the assassin's bullet was Ahmed Tali. He's been opposed to the talks from the start. Now, with this attempt on his life, someone's made it look like we wanted to get him out of the way.

Look, Commissioner, do we have any lead on this so-called American agent? Yes, a shopkeeper in Cairo named Falud says he has certain information to give us if we're interested. You were rendigo with this Falud tomorrow afternoon at the Akmim marketplace in Cairo.
