The female spy intends to purchase the other part that is being stored in a vault by bribing one of the officers guarding the vault. Jim Phelps plays a fake guard who has to get the map before the officer that was bribed can get to it. He is put under hypnosis before the start of the mission in order to prevent from being interrogated after his capture after getting the map portion out to Rollin. Rollin has to deal with the female spy and pretend to be interested in selling the map to her. Cinnamon creates a fake map piece to replace the one that Rollin is offering to sell. Jim comes out of his hypnotic state when he sees that a "russian roulette" game being used by the bribed officer is about to shoot him. The final scene comes about when the IMF team informs the commander of the group guarding the vault about what is going on with one of his officers and the spy. Rollin has to give the fake map to the bribed officer who comes to the meeting place that was arranged with the spy. The officer then gives the spy the map portion for the money that she was going to give to Rollin. She double crosses him and shoots him. The commanding officer then shoots her. This episode includes a romantic development between Rollin and the female spy. Rollin also has to shoot and kill two enemy agents. At the end, Rollin looks at the dead spy on the ground as the episode closes.
