- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. This is James Reed, a systems analyst with the Baltimore Corporation. He will arrive 48 hours from now at the Weapons Test Center to conduct an authorized survey of that facility. Reed is a foreign agent. His objective is to obtain the electronic guidance system of our latest missiles now being tested. His contact at the naval facility is Doris Gordon, a civilian secretary. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to allow Reed to steal a bogus guidance system in place of the real one, thereby short-stopping enemy weapons development in this vital field. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
- Commander Wardman: But once they have the guidance system, won't they kill you to keep your mouth shut?
- James Phelps: They certainly will if they can.

- Paris: Is Jim all right?

- Barney Collier: [on the phone] Give me the police.
