You haven't seen your incentive yet. You won't refuse. [He looks absolutely certain about it.]
[An old-fashioned black and white video video begins to flicker in the fireplace. There's no sound, and the picture is shaky, but it is possible to see clearly what is happening. A title card appears, and then another card with text on it:
Spain's Motivation
Success!
The picture shifts to images from the country of Spain, but a rather different Spain. This Spain is incredibly wealthy and powerful. The political situation is unclear, but what is clear is that the people of the country are happy. A card spells out the following:
Once Spain succeeds, his people's condition was improved.
Another card then appears:

The picture shifts again to images of Spain, this time the same country he left behind. The images show people growing sick; at first only a few with mild symptoms, but it gradually becomes clear a terrible plague has taken hold. The images show many people, most of the population, falling severely ill and dying. The survivors flee, leaving the country deserted.
When Spain failed, his people were wiped out by disease
The image changes again - it is no longer black and white, but suddenly an incredibly realistic and modern video that flashes several scenes - a busy train station in Madrid, the Parliament palace, a country town - in which hidden strange canisters are visible.
