Captain Scarlet (2005): Season 1, Episode 2 - Instrument of Destruction: Part Two - full transcript
When Captain Black is linked to a mysterious explosion at a military research center, Scarlet and Blue are dispatched to New York to liaise with the FBI in their attempt to track down the former Spectrum agent. Black is spotted at...
Meteor strike.
Decompression.
I'm getting a bad
feeling about this mission.
What is it?
He's alive!
This isn't my way home, you idiot.
I'm cutting short your life.
That's right.
We cancel all
existing contracts and
divert all our resources
to the New Deal.
But Mr. McGill...
No buts. Just do it.
The installation was
involved in military research.
Black's last assignment before
Mars was a review of security there.
You think he took something
from the lab before he blew it up?
I think so.
The New York FBI are
handling the investigation.
We've sent a picture of Captain
Black and told them he's a terrorist.
I want you there to liaise.
Yes, Colonel.
I'm due at the United Nations
today for an emergency meeting.
I'd like to tell them this
is a war we're winning.
Yes, sir. I understand.
And take Scarlet with you.
But we don't know for sure
whose side Scarlet is on.
What the Mysterons
did to him has left Scarlet
with some kind of
telepathic link with Black.
We're not in a position to disregard
any advantage we might have.
Come on, Adam.
Would I have told you Black
was under Mysteron control
if they were
still running me?
All I know is you're not the
man I knew that went to Mars.
I know.
Welcome to the FBI.
Hey, where's your weapon?
Uh, cutbacks.
Blue gets the gun on Fridays.
Yeah, right.
How's the investigation going?
Slow, but we fed the image of
your guy into our hawk network.
If he's caught by a CCTV camera
anywhere in the
U.S., we'll spot him.
Thank you very much.
And Spectrum is ready for anything
the Mysterons might throw at us.
I'm sure you're right, Colonel.
But I worry that Skybase
is lacking in air power.
What?
I propose supporting them with a squadron
of the latest vampire fighter jets.
Thank you, General.
Spectrum needs all the help it can get.
Now, to continue-- General, I can
assure you that we are quite capable of--
Yes, yes, of course.
But you see-- No,
General, I don't see.
My Angel pilots are all top guns, and
our aircraft are the finest in the world.
Nevertheless--
Excuse me, General.
It's getting very hot in here.
--within its massive footprint.
Right.
We've spotted your man.
Where is he?
At the United Nations building.
What's he doing there?
He's got to be after Colonel White.
Let's get the Sky Riders.
The Mysterons have already
made one strike against Spectrum.
We have no room for complacency.
At the same time, I do not want to
underestimate the readiness of Spectrum.
We have superbly equipped,
highly trained special forces...
...who are ready to engage the enemy...
--form of terrorism, whatever the cost.
We'll be prepared for whatever
the enemy may throw at us.
The road ahead may be difficult, but...
Stay right there.
Destiny, it's me, Conrad.
Oh, I'd like to believe that.
Please believe me, sweetheart.
The Mysterons have lost control
over me, just like they did with Scarlet.
How did you know about Scarlet?
General.
I had my gun drawn.
I could have captured
him, but I let him go.
Destiny, it wasn't Captain Black.
It was a Mysteron.
He knew how to get to you.
That may be, but I paid attention
to my emotions, not my duty.
I don't believe there's a place for me
with the Angels or Spectrum, Colonel.
The Angels need their leader.
Harmony will make a
first-class leader, sir.
Hey, I always dreamed
about joining Spectrum.
Me too.
Their pilots are all babes, man.
It's good to have you
back, Captain Scarlet.
Thank you, sir.
Here, Paul. I'm sorry if I was...
Forget it, Adam. Just bring me up to speed.
Black escaped in a trans-global helicopter.
They claim it was hijacked,
but there was also a
trans-global truck at the research
installation before it was destroyed.
Some coincidence.
Well, I hacked into the
trans-global computer.
It looks like they've abandoned business
and diverted vehicles across the world.
I cross-referenced these
locations, and they're all...
Nuclear power stations.
Lieutenant Green, where do you
think the next shipment will be from?
I guesstimate the Pyrenees.
You know, this is crazy.
Next you'll tell me I'm
going to get myself killed.
Just keep out of his mirrors, OK?
Winch secure.
Contracting winch.
Captain Blue to Skybase.
I'm going to need an airlift.
SIG, Captain.
We'll divert the Albatross to you.
SIG.
Colonel, it looks like the Vampire
Squadron is on its way, sir.
Vampire Squadron, this is Colonel White.
We have you on radar.
Welcome to Skybase.
What is your ETA?
Vampire Squadron, I say
again, what is your ETA?
Something's wrong.
Launch the Angels.
Condition red.
This is Central Control.
Angels, immediate launch.
Vampire Squadron approaching from the east.
Suspect hostile intent.
Wait for me.
Skybase from Destiny Angel.
I have the vampires on my radar,
but they're still not responding.
They're flying...
I'm illuminated.
I'm under attack.
Angels, report.
All enemy aircraft destroyed,
Destiny, except one.
He hightailed it for home.
You OK?
Couldn't be better.
Great.
We're returning to base.
SIG.
I can see your renegade.
He must know I'm in range...
...but he's not taking any evasive action.
The pilot must be dead.
I'm going to check it out.
Approach with caution, Destiny.
Skybase, all enemy aircraft destroyed.
Returning to base.
Emergency.
My controls are jammed.
I'm locked onto Skybase.
Harmony, stay within range of Destiny.
SIG.
Destiny, report.
Controls still jammed.
Impact, 20 seconds.
Destiny, bail out.
Negative, all systems failed.
Impact, 10 seconds.
Harmony, shoot her down.
Sir?
I said, shoot her down.
Skybase, that wasn't my missile.
No, Harmony.
She's self-destructed.
She gave her life to save ours.
Look!
Crash crews, escape pod is
coming in for crash landing.
I can see her clearly.
She's OK.
Skybase, we have a fix
on the transglobal aircraft.
It's entering Siberian airspace.
Conrad.
You know better than
anybody that Conrad is dead.
You can beat what the
Mysterons did to us, Conrad.
Conrad is dead.
And soon, this whole
planet will be destroyed.
So this is what you've
been doing with all those
fuel rods you've been
stealing around the world?
You've certainly built yourself a big bomb.
Big enough to blow your planet in half.
And there's nothing you can do to stop it.
All I have to do is press this button.
There.
Now you can watch time run out.
Enjoy the show, Scarlet.
What's that light?
The end of the world if we don't get
that remote control from Captain Black.
A Russian drusnik.
Fire!
I'll teach you to shoot.
It doesn't touch them.
Nothing can touch those things.
Maybe you're going to blow us all to hell.
But you're going first.
It's no good, Adam.
Retreat.
What?
Retreat.
It's the only thing we can do.
No way.
If I'm going to die, I'm
going to die fighting.
I said retreat.
Or what?
You're going to shoot me?
Sorry, Adam.
I was right.
You are a damn Mysteron.
Run as fast as you like.
You can't get away.
Fire.
What's happening?
The ice is always thinnest
in the middle of the lake.
I heard you were leaving.
Change of plan.
I'm glad.
Do you think he died in that drusnik?
Conrad?
No.
He died with me on Mars.
But the Mysteron thing that took
his shape, that's still out there.
I can feel it.
And one day soon, it
will try to destroy us again.
Decompression.
I'm getting a bad
feeling about this mission.
