The Eiger Sanction1975

Jonathan Hemlock:
And why am I the only one who can perform this sanction?

Dragon:
First, do you accept the assignment?

Jonathan Hemlock:
Yes, I accept!

Jonathan Hemlock:
What we have is this: the target is male, he is an accomplished mountain climber. We learned this from a note we intercepted. Also, a witness said he limped.

Jonathan Hemlock:
Well, that's fine. Now all I have to do is kill every mountain climber with a sore foot.

Dragon:
Not quite. Our man will be involved in a climb in the Alps this summer.

Jonathan Hemlock:
Oh, you're getting warm now, Dragon. That narrows it down to three or four thousand men.

Dragon:
Fewer than that. We know which mountain he will climb.

Jonathan Hemlock:
And?

Dragon:
The Eiger!
