Dangerous assignment. Transcribed, starring Brian Dunlapier, 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's going to show me that sometimes the best thing that can happen to a guy is to get caught in the middle of a riot.

Good morning, Commissioner. You sent for me? Steve, it looks like we're caught in the middle of another first-class framer. Oh, great. What and where is it this time? Last night a band of Austrian slipped across the border into Hungary at a point some 30 miles southeast of Vienna.

The attacked guards are the strategic mind under lease to the Hungarian government. You are on commitment. The attacking party went on a rampage of looting and burning. Six Hungarian guards were killed. How do we fit in the picture?

The attacking force reported have been 20 and number left three of its members at the scene dead. So, the so-called dead Austrians have been identified as American soldiers. What? That's right. GIs attached to our forces in Vienna.

situation is tense going worse every minute. We're cooperating with the army in this matter, so when you get to Vienna, check with intelligence, right? Obviously we had nothing to do with this raid, Steve, but we've got to prove that and do it quickly.
