Dangerous assignment. Transcribe starring Brian Dunne, the B.S. 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 commission's office, I don't realize that this assignment's going to show me that sometimes the only way to let a little light in on a deal is through a bullet hole.
Morning, Commissioner. You sent from H. Steve. You have a rendezvous in triads tomorrow night. At 8 o'clock, you're going to be waiting on the southeast corner of the Piazza D'Amel. Waiting for what, Commissioner? Streetcar?
Exactly. The number of the car is 17. When you bought that street car, you'll be carrying the addition of the London Times and your left hand. You'll be contacted by a man named Sootak. What's this all about? A report on stolen US atomic secret steam describing how much is known about them behind the Iron Curtain. A report smuggled out by the Underground. And Sootak has the report?
No, but he can probably tell us where it is. What do you mean? A man carrying the report was murdered in Tries last night. A short time later, Sootak called our embassy in Belgrade and said he was certain the courier had managed to hide the paper before he was killed.
Okay, so I checked with Souta, but why on a street car? I don't know, but those were the instructions he gave. Get over there, Steve, and talk to Souta. It's vitally important. We recover that report.
Well, that's it. You got your assignment? Good luck. The National Broadcasting Company is presenting dangerous assignment, starring Brian Donlevi and the role of Steve Mitchell, colorful, two-fisted government agent. At all those places of the world where Danger and Intrigue walk hand in hand, and there you will find Steve Mitchell on another dangerous assignment.
