sworn enemies of Earth.

recreate an exact likeness
or object or person.
But first, they must destroy.

- This is the most
dangerous stage.
I am now going to.
activate the culture.
(suspenseful music)
[Woman] It looks so harmless.
- It may look harmless.
There's enough K14 there
to kill 10 million people.
Finished, I'll just seal
the liquid in the vial
and put it in the safe.
- Is there no risk of
an accident?
- The vial will remain sealed
and after the test tomorrow.
Nothing can go wrong.
(beeping)
I've locked the
culture in the safe.
- Yes doctor.
- And no one is to be
allowed in here,
and that includes
members of the staff.
- I understand.
(crashing)
(booming)
(dramatic music)
[Narrator] This is the
voice of the Mysterons.
We know that you
can hear us, Earth men.
And we have not forgotten
your unprovoked attack.
To prove how useless it
is for you to resist,
we will destroy the place
of the angels.
(dramatic music)
- The place of the angels.
That means nothing to me.
Nor to me, but it's the way
the Mysterons try to confuse us.
It's the waiting that
I don't like.
Of course, when were
in action it's not so bad,
but just sitting here?
- And all the time we know
that somewhere,
somehow, the Mysterons
are making plans
to carry out their threat.
(suspenseful music)
(beeping)
(gagging)
(dramatic music)
- [Colonel] Anything to
report, lieutenant Green?
Nothing significant, colonel.
- Colonel, could the
Mysterons mean
by the place of the angels
that they plan to attack
one of the angels hometowns?
- It's a thought.
Check it out, lieutenant.
- SIG.
Colonel, there's a priority
message coming through.
Where is it from?
- The bacteriological
research center
just outside Manchester,
England.
They're requesting
Spectrum's assistance.
Right, Captain Blue,
Captain Scarlet, on your way.
- SIG.
Yes sir.
Get all the details you can,
lieutenant
Yes colonel. I'll give
you a full report
as soon as it comes through.
- Good, let's hope it
gives us a lead.
- Request launch clearance.
- Spectrum is green.
Manchester, England.
Didn't Rhapsody once live there?
- Yes, but you can
hardly call it
the place of the angels.
(dramatic music)
And you say it must
have been done
by your research assistant,
Judy Chapman?
- Yes, there's an electronic
check at the gates.
She was the one person to enter
the building this morning.
- I see, well we've transmitted
the full description to
Cloud Base, well find her.
- Yes, but what then?
If she breaks that vial--
Just how dangerous is
the K14 virus?
- About the deadliest
culture ever developed.
There's enough in that
one test tube
to wipe out a city of 10
million people.
- [Captain] Ladies and
gentlemen, this is the captain.
On behalf of all the
crew and myself.
I hope you've had a pleasant
and comfortable flight.
We'll be landing at
New York International Airport
in 10 minutes, thank you.
- Captain Scarlet, what's
your position?
- We are en route to Cloud Base.
Dr. Denton will
follow in an hour.
- Is there any antidote that
can be used against K14?
The doctor says no.
One will be found, but it
will take months to develop.
- I see, well we can
discount that.
- [Scarlet] This bacillus
is a totally new strain.
The human body has no
defense against it.
- I understand captain.
- Colonel White, Spectrum
security reported the suspect
Judy Chapman has
landed at New York.
- Did you hear that
Captain Scarlet?
We've located her.
- That's great.
- [White] Alter course,
fly directly to New York.
- SIG.
- Launch all angels, lieutenant.
Right, colonel.
Angels one, two, and
three immediate launch.
- SIG.
(harp music)
- All angels skyborne, sir.
- Right, well it's up to
Captain Scarlet.
He must recover that vial.
- [Man] This is
Spectrum New York.
Suspect has left the airport.
Driving on interstate
highway and saloon.
Registration 104X238.
SIG New York.
- Well it looks like
we've got her in the net.
- Yes.
We'll requisition an
SPV at New York
and take up the chase.
The angels will maintain
aerial contact.
SPV 021 please.
- Identification.
(dramatic music)
- Captain Scarlet, we
have visual contact
with the suspects car.
She's still on the
interstate highway.
- We'll be turning onto the
highway in three minutes.
[Narrator] This is
Captain Black
relaying instructions
from the Mysterons.
A Spectrum pursuit vehicle
is less than five
miles behind you.
You know what to do.
Another five minutes and
Captain Scarlet
will have visual
contact with her.
You're taking a tremendous risk.
What happens if she
breaks the vial?
- Captain Scarlet is
aware of the danger.
We can rely on him.
- I just hope you know
what you re doing, colonel.
Millions of lives may well
depend on your judgment.
Look, she's gone off the road.
- Come on let's get down there.
Certainly quite a mess.
- Yes, and if that
vial's broken.
Come on.
Look, there.
(dramatic music)
- Captain Scarlet and
Captain Blue
are on their way back
to Cloud Base.
Is everything ready in Cloud
Base sick bay, lieutenant?
- Yes sir, treatment will begin
as soon as our two
patients arrive.
They were sealed in an
isolation capsule
at the scene of the crash.
- We can safely assume
that Captain Scarlet
will be immune to the bacteria,
but everything must be
done for Captain Blue.
Dr. Denton is already at
the scene of the crash,
supervising the
spraying operation.
This is Denton to Cloud Base.
Commencing test schedule now.
- Thank you doctor.
- Captain Scarlet and
Captain Blue
installed in the sick bay, sir.
- Thank you lieutenant.
Captain Scarlet, Captain
Blue, how are you feeling?
Fine thank you sir.
- We are doing all we can.
Dr. Faun is working on a
possible antiserum now.
Any news of the girl, sir?
- I'm afraid not,
she's vanished.
We're back to square one.
- How long do we have
to stay in isolation?
Well, we'll know in an hour
if that broken test tube
did contain the K14 virus.
(dramatic music)
- This is Denton to Cloud Base.
No possible doubt, all the
tests negative.
- [White] Are you sure of this?
Yes, Colonel.
The test tube did not
contain the K14.
Thank you doctor, return
to Cloud Base at once.
- What happens now colonel?
- We've been fooled.
We must locate that girl.
Put out a red alert.
I'm going down to sick bay.
SIG colonel.
This is a red alert to
all Spectrum agencies.
- You shouldn't come in here,
colonel.
- It's all right, captain.
The test was negative.
- You mean that girl
still has the virus?
- Yes, she's vanished
with enough K14
to kill 10 million people.
- Three hours, still no trace,
no clue.
- The place of the angels.
I still can't figure out
where the Mysterons mean.
- Another civilian report, sir.
The suspect has been
positively sighted
in Goose Bay, Canada.
- Add it to the list.
She certainly gets around.
Reported to be in Miami,
Los Angeles,
and now Goose Bay, Canada.
- Los Angeles?
Did you say Los Angeles sir?
- Yes, an unconfirmed report
from a Californian state
customs official.
- That s it!
Don't you see?
Los Angeles means the angels.
- The city of Los Angeles,.
yes, the place of the angels
- Were on our way, colonel.
(dramatic music)
Captain Blue and I have just
landed at Los Angeles Airport.
Any further reports colonel?
- Yes captain, the
suspect has been seen
driving away from the city.
But colonel I was convinced
that LA was the Mysteron target.
- And so it is, captain
One of the most deadly
methods to spread the virus
would be to introduce it
into the city's water supply.
Los Angeles obtains
nearly all its water
from the Colorado River.
The Mysteron agent is
heading for the city's
main reservoir at the
Boulder Dam.
She must be stopped.
(dramatic music)
- Where's the nearest
landing strip to the dam?
- 30 miles away.
Too far, we'd never
make it in time.
- What do you intend to do?
- It's a long shot, but
we've got to take it.
Take over the controls,
Captain Blue.
Fly over the dam at 500 feet.
- What are you planning captain?
- I'll have to
parachute onto the dam.
- From 500 feet?
You'll never make it.
- I've got to make it.
- There it is ahead.
Right.
- Good luck, Captain Scarlet.
- Spectrum.
(gun fires)
(dramatic music)
- No!
- You are too late, Earth man.
[Captain Scarlet] One move,
and I shoot.
(gun fires)
(screams)
(suspenseful music)
[Colonel] Captain Scarlet,
come in Captain Scarlet!
- It's all right colonel,
everything s all right.
The city of the angels is safe.
