The Link is about to be shot by some soldiers. At that precise moment, Dr. Viktor Kelso turns up the power of his "Paralyser" device, immobilising everybody for miles around, including the soldiers.

The Link succumbs to the effects of the Paralyser and collapses. When he comes around, he picks up some "Top Secret" documents which are strewn across the floor just as the soldiers burst in and accuse him of stealing secrets.
