- James 'Gunner' Loomis: What could I do? I had jive refereeing, I had bad breaks.
- Loomis' Trainer: Bull. You were beaten.
- Paul Mitchell: Pete Novick is a better fighter, that's all.
- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The Syndicate operation in the boxing game is handled by Jay Braddock. He has corrupted Paul Mitchell, once an honest promoter, now his partner. Braddock and Mitchell own a number of promising fighters whose careers they are manipulating for illegal profits at public expense. Middleweight James Loomis recently defied them, and was brutally murdered in a phony "accident." Conventional law enforcement agencies have been unable to act. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, will be to expose Braddock and Mitchell and to destroy their criminal operation. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.

- James Phelps: So, your father's agreed to turn state's evidence, Susan. He's already told the Attorney General enough to rip open the whole Syndicate infiltration of the fight business.
- Susan Mitchell: But he'll still have to go to prison?
- Barney Collier: Yes. He'll have to serve some time.
- Lisa Casey: But I think it'll make it a lot easier on him, Susan, if he could see you.
- Willy Armitage: We've arranged for you to meet with him, if you want to.
- Susan Mitchell: Of course... and I'll wait.
- Pete Novick: No. We'll wait.
