Dangerous Assignment: Assignment Japan

Dangerous assignment, starring Brian Donileve 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, though of trouble.

But when I walk into the commission'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 lasts 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. 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.

Ah, 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 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, that the other is a small but rabid nationalist sect, actually an organization of poletics.

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.
