Dangerous Assignment: Picking Up A Bomb

Transcribe starring Brian Don LaViere, Steve Mitchell. Yeah, danger is my assignment. I could send 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 all I have to do on this assignment is sit tight right on top of a powder cake. Why, Commissioner? You sent to me?

Steve, I want you to go to a certain cafe in Saigon, Indochina, and pick up a package. It won't be marked handled with care, should it be? Definitely. It's a bomb. A bomb? Oh great, we don't know who's going to show up to deliver that package, Steve, but we do know the man who's supposed to pick it up and plant it somewhere.

He's an American newspaper man named Richard Milton. How do we find that out, Commissioner? Milton told us the whole story. You see, someone in Saigon tried to put the pressure on him, threatened the lives of Milton's wife and his children here in the States, if he didn't do as he was told.

And still, Milton didn't knuckle under. No, he played along with him to see what he could find out. Meanwhile, of course, we've seen to it that his family is safe. What has he found out?

Very little actually. They've been very cagey about giving him too much information. Did he have any idea why he was singled out for the job? No idea at all. Being a reporter and an American at that, he'd have access to a lot of places others wouldn't.

That's the key, Steve. I'm sure of it. Get over to Saigon and talk with him. If possible, I want you to take his place at the cafe. Find out what this is all about. That's it, Steve. You've got your assignment?
