THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS... but Judy's $7,700 won't. However, the bonus chimes sound! Pat identifies the show as Mission: Impossible starring Peter Graves, and wants to know the next line. She duds out. Seriously, GOOD LUCK, JIM if you never watched the show.

Judy, that puzzle was difficult. You certainly have an ALIBI for being completely clueless. Inside the envelope was the cash. She still has $58,148, however!
