- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. This is Howard Bainbridge, noted specialist in chemical warfare who defected to the East, where he developed the lethal chemical TR-A, a nerve gas formula known only to him. We believe that Bainbridge, contaminated by his own deadly chemical, escaped the Iron Curtain and returned to his father's estate where the elder Bainbridge killed his son and concealed the corpse. Since Howard Bainbridge destroyed all his records before fleeing the East, the only existing trace of the chemical TR-A is in his corpse. Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to find Howard Bainbridge's body. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.

- James Phelps: If you give us the formula for TR-A, government scientists might be able to find an antidote to it. It's possible, isn't it?
- Howard Bainbridge: Possible, yes, but there's so little time left.
- James Phelps: Well, then, let's not wast it... come on.
- Paul: Father!
- Howard Bainbridge: Paul.

- Howard Bainbridge: Hello, Father.
- Justin Bainbridge: What are you doing here, Howard?
- Howard Bainbridge: There was an accident in my lab at Volgrad. I contaminated myself with a nerve gas formula I was working on. I'm dying, Father... I knew that would... *please* you. What months I have left... I want to spend with Paul.
