Steve Mitchell is going into the Commissioner's office as Ruth says "Well, here he is Commissioner". Steve says "Thanks, Ruth. Well, what's the deal Commissioner?" He says "Take a look at this map of Eastern Europe, Steve. This country right here". Steve asks "What about it?" Commissioner says "Politically, it's being torn apart. There are two major parties at odds with each other and a well-organized minority who'd like to keep them at odds". Steve says "Pretty familiar pattern". Commissioner says "Yes, it is, but right now it's vital to Western Europe and to us that this particular country be united into a democratic form of government and there's only one man who can unite that country". Steve says "Don't tell me it's me". Commissioner says "No, it's Dr. Korvell". Steve says "But he's no politician". Commissioner says "That's the point, Steve. Dr. Korvell has no political affiliations. He's that country's leading citizen, a scholar, a scientist, and a man of stature". Steve says "Yeah, he could be just the man for the job". Commissioner says "As you know, he's been living in this country since the war, but now he feels it's time to return to his own country. There's to be a vital meeting of the legislature over there in three days. A meeting that could determine which way the country goes. If Korvell could appear at that meeting, it might turn the trick". Steve asks "So, what do you want me to do?" Commissioner says "Escort the good doctor over there. He's already left, the day before yesterday". Steve says "Well, then I don't get it. Why call me on the deal? What more is to be done?" Commissioner says "I'm coming to that, Steve. Dr Korvell realized that the organized minority would try, at all costs, to prevent him from reaching his destination, so he's traveling incognito. Once he arrived, his plan was to go directly to the house of a friend in the capital of his country. This morning, we found out that this so-called friend is actually a member of the minority. Steve, you've got to intercept Korvell before he reaches that man's house".
