Mission: Impossible (1966)
S01E25 Shock
Episode Overview
Kiri, an enemy agent, has abducted U.S. envoy Carl Wilson and replaced him with an imposter, Gort, in a plot to undermine a U.S. trade agreement. The team must rescue Wilson and expose the ruse before Kiri can eliminate him. Cinnamon poses as Wilson's niece while Willy captures Gort, and Briggs, disguised as Wilson, takes Gort's place. They place Gort in a mental facility and use electroshock therapy to erase his memories, convincing everyone he’s a confused accountant. Under duress, Gort reveals he was meant to assassinate an American official and pin the blame on Wilson. Barney and Willy then swap the unconscious Wilson with a drugged Gort, staged to appear as a suicide. Briggs, disguised as Gort posing as Wilson, attempts to shoot the official, but later discloses that the "Wilson" everyone saw was actually Gort, a pawn of Kiri.
