Squeeze Play


Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  Albert Zembra, the supreme boss of the Syndicate's Mediterranean branch which processes one-forth of the world's illegal supply of heroin, is dying of cancer.  Zembra will soon designate a successor to whom he will transfer his secret list of opium farms, transportation routes, carriers, and corrupt officials through which he operates.  Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to obtain that secret list and prevent Zembra from perpetuating his empire.   As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.  This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.  Good luck, Jim.
