- Max Harte: [viewing tons of gold] It must have taken a dozen men with lifting equipment to bring it down here. How the hell are we supposed to get it out?
- Grant Collier: Give me fifteen minutes.
- Voice on Disc: Good morning, Jim. In the last days of Adolf Hitler's life, before he committed suicide to avoid capture, he organized a secret plan, a legacy that he hoped would enable a future generation of Nazis to accomplish what he had failed to do. That legacy was a hoard of gold looted from the cathedrals and castles of Europe, and worth five billion dollars on today's markets. It was hidden away and has never been found. Only four of Hitler's trusted officers knew where the gold was hidden, a secret that's been handed down from father to son to grandson. We believe that the four grandsons are now ready to claim the fortune and use it to fund terrorism and other activities to revive a Nazi movement in Western Europe. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to find that gold before they can get to it. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This disc will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
