Jim gets his briefing at a pool hall and the recording informs him that two years ago a sphere containing a rare-but-cheap radioactive liquid isotope, trivanium, was stolen from the U.S. by three men working for their East European country. One of the men, Johan, killed the second, Silff, and convinced the third man, their leader Major Paul Johan, that Silff stole the trivanium but was then died in a subsequent car accident.

Episode Quotes
Major Paul Johan: Isn't that...
Alena Ober: Beyond the Shadow of Today.
Major Paul Johan: Yes, the song which you and Otto used to dance away the long hours of the night. Has it ever occurred to you that you might be overdoing the grief?
Alena Ober: I loved Otto and he loved me.
Major Paul Johan: Still it has been two years and life does go on.

Major Paul Johan: How long have you been working here, Miss Cauzon?
Monique: Just since yesterday. Johan: Oh then I am delighted. I should hate to think that you might have been here for weeks or maybe even months and I hadn't known it.

Colonel Alex Vorda: It would be regrettable if my investigators were to uncover something about you that would put an end to your brilliant career.
Jim: You're threatening me, Colonel. You're wasting your time. I have nothing to hide.
Colonel Alex Vorda: Doctor, anybody can be provided with something to hide.
