SPOILER ALERT! In this mission, the team has the technically challenging task of persuading a fascist-admiring tycoon that he should dig up the body of his son, a nerve gas expert who had defected to the East and returned home, fatally contaminated with his own secret nerve agent, hoping to spend what time he has left with his young son. The tycoon and this scientist son fight, tycoon buries son in woods on big estate.
OK, this is a pretty complicated set-up, even for our IMF team! The team's mission is to get the tycoon--well played by Andrew Duggan--to dig up the body, so the US Gov. can investigate the nerve toxin. The team decides to achieve this by making Duggan think his son's ghost is demanding the body be dug up and burned. We then get some of the more elaborate technical stunts ever devised by the IMF, which is saying something! What elevates this episode to top rank is this: big plot twists that smack you upside the head! Great stuff in this episode!
