[instrumental music] Dangerous Assignment, starring Brian Donlevy as Steve Mitchell.

But when I walk into the commissioner's office, I don't realize this assignment's gonna wind up with me staking my life on a bluff, and then finding out, much to my surprise, that I wasn't bluffing at all. [door opens] Morning, Commissioner. Ruth said you wanted to see me.

One of those men was a well-known foreign agent.

Steve Mitchell1:22
