Synopsis:
Following the death of Qadhafi, the Unknown Soldier flees the country. He falls asleep on the plane and dreams about his first mission.

During World War II he was liberated from a Japanese prison hospital. Army intelligence soon discovered his unique regenerative abilities. Captain Wintley Roth tries to recruit him for an undercover mission. Feeling that he is being used, the Unknown Soldier disguises himself as Roth and tricks the captain's wife. Having established his abilities, the Soldier then agrees to undertake the mission.

The Unknown Soldier poses as a French Resistance agent and tries to assassinate a suspected double agent. The agent turns out to be an army intelligence officer. He knows that the Unknown Soldier has been sent to replace him and commits suicide.

After awakening from his dream, the Unknown Soldier forces the plane to turn around, so that he can return to resolve the crisis.
