Nia and I got talked to one night 1:30am when she was 8 for watching these episodes - this one was fantastic collaboration for us watching it. XD - ❤ DAd. In the original Mission: Impossible series (1966–1973), the music box appears most prominently in the Season 5 episode titled "Butterfly " (which is also the first part of a two-part story often referred to as "Decoy"). In this episode, the IMF team targets a villain named Alexi, who is trying to steal a list of Western agents. The key details of the "music box" scheme include: The Hidden List: The secret list is physically encoded on the drum of the music-box mechanism. The Musical Code: The music box doubles as a cigarette case, and the tune it plays is a signal used for a defection ruse. The Scheme: Jim Phelps and the team use an elaborate "gaslighting" plot involving a double of Alexi (played by Leonard Nimoy's character, Paris) to trick the target into revealing his true intentions and the location of the information.
