- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The man you are looking at is Anton Reisner, the much beloved leader of the resistance against his country's tyrannical government. Three weeks ago, he was incarcerated in the automated Trast Prison, from which no escape has ever been made. The prison is currently commanded by this man, Major Nicholas Zelinko, who is torturing Reisner in order to get the names of other resistance leaders. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to get Reisner out of Trast Prison. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.

- James Phelps: Miss Nilas, this calls for a complete investigation.
- Cinnamon Carter: Yes, I think it would be best if we take the two prisoners and the imposter to Division Headquarters for further interrogation.
- James Phelps: See it is done immediately, Captain Gulka.
- Capt. Gulka: Yes, sir. Lieutenant Szabos. Have the two prisoners brought to the main gate.
- Szabo: Yes, sir.
- James Phelps: Now, Major Zelinko is suave and charming and totally dedicated to his escape-proof prison. And that's exactly what it is: escape-proof. So, since we can't get Reisner out, we'll get them to hand him to us.
- Maj. Nicholas Zelinko: Miss Nilas, I must protest the way I'm being treated in my own...
- Cinnamon Carter: Is that true, that that is not Reisner?
- Maj. Nicholas Zelinko: You told them!
- Capt. Gulka: Yes, Major, I told them.
- Maj. Nicholas Zelinko: Is this the way you repay me?
- Capt. Gulka: I only wish I could have done more.
- Maj. Nicholas Zelinko: I see.
- [looking at Reisner; begins to realize what's really happening]
- Maj. Nicholas Zelinko: Oh, but it is not true that, that is an imposter. It really is Reisner! The plan was designed to make us believe that they had gotten him out.
- Cinnamon Carter: That explains why you entered the file room. A change of fingerprints to support your story
- Maj. Nicholas Zelinko: The fingerprints will bear me out. They will match! No. They must have switched them. Don't you see? They thought of everything.
- Cinnamon Carter: Take him away.
- Maj. Nicholas Zelinko: You must listen to me...
- [Zelinko is hauled away by his own guards]
- Maj. Nicholas Zelinko: Don't you see that's the real Reisner in there!
