In "Mission Completed," a paralyzed veteran regains his abilities when he is given the chance for revenge on his captor.
As the episode opens, Tom is lying in a veteran's hospital. He has been there for the four years since being liberated from Tokyo's Sagamo Prison on 1945. Tom lies in bed and stares at a square in the ceiling, where he envisions that his captor, Suki, look down at him from time to time.
One day, when the nurse takes Tom out in his wheelchair, he is stunned by the sight of his former captor, who is now working in the hospital flower shop. Tom then begins to fight his paralysis, to move his body, and to plan his revenge.
Can Tom overcome his physical problems and succeed in his plan to go after Suki?
