Every cutthroat in New York City is show more plying him with drinks to find out what he knows, and Daniels is having a high time ... until someone slips him a mickey. It all comes back to his staggering memory in a dream: it's not the U.S. but the Russkies who are pouring missiles into the lush jungles of Hispania. Unless Remo and Chiun act fast, Washington, D.C. is likely to get blasted. show lessTags
