(footsteps clicking)
- [Narrator] The Mysterons,
sworn enemies of Earth.
Possessing the ability to
recreate an exact likeness
or object or person.
But first, they must destroy.

(dramatic orchestral music)
- [Menacing Voice] This
is Captain Black,
relaying instructions
from the Mysterons.
You know what you must do.
(dramatic percussion music)
- [Threatening Voice] This is
the voice of the Mysterons.
We know that you can
hear us Earthmen.
We will continue to take
our revenge and deal
yet another devastating blow.
We will destroy the
triumvirate of Europe.
The triumvirate of
Europe will be destroyed.
(foreboding orchestral music)
- The triumvirate of Europe.
These men have been
placed in jeopardy
by the latest Mysteron threat.
John L. Henderson, Conrad
Olechson and Joseph Machini,
the three joint presidents who
together head the
congress of Europe.
- Yes, Colonel.
If not for the world president,
they are the most
powerful men on Earth.
- So plan XB to protect them
is operational, Colonel?
- Yes, Captain Blue.
It has been code named Europa.
The members of the
triumvirate have been taken to
three different places
of maximum security,
each, in its own way,
considered impregnable.
It will take something
very special to
break our protective plans.
- Dormor University?
Give me the advanced
electronics faculty.
Johnson?
Professor Carnie.
I'm taking a vacation
starting immediately.
Oh, let's say special research.
No, I cant say when
I'll be back.
Goodbye.
(slow suspenseful
orchestral music)
(foreboding orchestral music)
(buzzing)
- Come.
- Captain Ochre, Spectrum, sir.
- Ah, Captain.
Don't tell me that you've
come to say that I can leave.
- I'm afraid not, sir.
I'm here to take
charge of security.
- By the number of
alarm systems,
hidden TV cameras and
electronic security devices,
I'd say I'm in safe hands.
Vandon Base is
wonderfully equipped, sir.
We're 40 feet underground.
I feel like some
kind of prisoner.
- It's very necessary, sir.
Your safety is Spectrum's
responsibility.
You'll be safe here.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(slow foreboding
orchestral music)
- SIG, Captain Magenta.
Well, presidents Henderson
and Machini are safe.
I'll check with Captain Ochre.
(beeping)
Yes, Captain Scarlet?
- We will overfly 20 miles east
of Vandon Base on our patrol.
What's the latest situation?
- [Captain Ochre]
Nothing to report.
Operation Europa proceeding
according to plan.
- [Captain Scarlet] Right,
well call again in 30 minutes
Routine security waveband
change at 1300 hours
to number four as listed
in the code book.
At 1300 hours. SIG.
(suspenseful orchestral music)
(machine guns firing)
(beeping)
- Captain Ochre, were
under attack.
- From which direction?
- [Guard] They seem to
be in the trees
just beyond the west fence.
- How many?
- Hard to say.
I'd guess about a dozen men
spread out over 100 yards or so.
- How are they armed?
- [Guard] Small caliber
automatics by the sound of them.
Right.
Call the reserve guard away
from the east perimeter
to your sector.
[Guard] - Yes, sir.
- Trouble, Captain?
- I'm afraid so, sir,
but don't worry.
You're perfectly safe.
(guns firing)
Well, the shooting
stopped, but keep down.
I think they're still out there.
(slow suspenseful
orchestral music)
(foreboding orchestral music)
(guns firing)
Hold your fire.
(engine approaching)
Listen.
I know that sound anywhere.
They're bringing up tanks.
- Tanks?
How in Heaven's name did they
get past our aerial
surveillance?
All right, Captain Ochre,
I'm sending in the angels.
Lieutenant.
- Yes, sir.
Angel Lider, Vandon Base
is under attack from
unidentified tank formations,
number and type unknown.
Captain Ochre will
pinpoint exact position.
Attack and destroy.
- SIG.
- Is the situation serious?
- It would be deceiving
you to say it wasn't,
but help is on its way.
Well handle it.
- Captain Ochre, we are
approaching Vandon Base.
- The suspect tanks are in
the wooded area
200 yards from the
western perimeter.
They have not responded to our
call to identify themselves.
Attack and destroy.
- SIG.
(jet engine roaring)
- Here we come.
(explosion)
(explosion)
(explosion)
(slow suspenseful
orchestral music)
(explosion)
Now that should have
done the trick.
Send in a couple of men
to investigate.
- Yes, Captain.
- I'm going back down to
the president.
Keep me informed.
(explosion)
(dramatic percussion music)
- How do you feel, sir?
- I'm fine, just a little
confused as to what happened.
With an extremely
clever system of speakers
and taped sound effects,
the guards were deceived
into thinking Vandon
Base was under attack.
Using this as a diversion,
a bomb was placed
in what appeared to be an air
vent to your underground room.
- In fact, it was a dummy
inlet which went no deeper
than ground level.
- The building above
ground was demolished,
but you, 40 feet below,
were safe.
- Incredible.
It seems Spectrum thinks
of everything.
Well, we try to, sir.
One good thing has
resulted from all this,
the Mysterons must consider
you to be dead.
You'll be safe now.
- That's good news, but who
could have done all this?
That is something
I'd give a lot to know.
Whoever it was had
specific information
about the base's
security electronics
and played his hand with
the cunning of a fox.
This Mysteron agent is
one of the most dangerous
we have ever faced.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(slow suspenseful
orchestral music)
(foreboding orchestral music)
- Well Captain Ochre,
it looks as if
President Olechson is safe.
Yes, but I was worried
out at Vandon Base.
It really sounded like a
full-scale armored attack.
It's strange that a
man who was obviously
an electronics expert
should have been taken in
by a dummy air vent.
- Even an expert sometimes
makes a simple mistake.
It's a point worth remembering.
- [Colonel White] Captain
Scarlet, Captain Blue,
prepare to leave Cloud
Base immediately.
- What is it, Colonel White?
- A report has just
come through.
The body of a Professor
Carnie has been discovered.
He's been dead for some time.
But a second Professor
Carnie has been seen
less than an hour ago.
The professors life and
work were electronics.
Unless I'm very much mistaken,
this second man is the
Mysteron agent.
- We're on our way, Colonel.
(dramatic percussion music)
(birds chirping)
- We're in the professors
bungalow, Colonel.
- [Colonel White] Right, see
if you can find some clue
as to who's next on the list,
President Henderson or Machini.
- SIG.
Captain Scarlet.
Found something?
- Yes.
- Look.
- One of those men,
but which one?
- He's tried for Olechson.
That' leaves two.
- [Captain Scarlet] One, two,
three, OHM.
- An unusual resistance.
- Yes.
But wait a minute.
O for Olechson, H Henderson,
M Machini.
First Olechson,
second Henderson.
Colonel White, we think
we've found the answer.
It looks as if President
Henderson is the next target.
We're leaving for the maximum
security center immediately.
- SIG, Captain Scarlet.
Launch all angels, Lieutenant.
- Angels, one, two, and three,
immediate launch.
(engines roaring to life)
Order all Spectrum
personnel to make a
security waveband change
to number 28 in code book.
- [Lieutenant Green] Right,
Colonel.
- I want road blocks set
up on every route
into the security area.
And get a full PD on
Professor Carnie.
- Right away, sir.
(gun firing)
Gray saloon, registration X,
914V has
just crashed a road block,
20 miles east of the
maximum security building.
- That could be our man.
Is Captain Scarlet in a position
to intercept with an SPV?
I'll check, sir.
Yes, Colonel.
He can do it.
Captain Scarlet, take
the right hand turn off
one mile ahead.
Intercept gray saloon
registration X914V,
believed to contain
Mysteron agent.
- SIG.
- [Captain Blue]
There's ahead.
Right.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(static humming)
- I can't see a thing.
(screeching tires)
- Are you all right?
- Yes, I think so.
What happened?
- He must have used some sort
of electronic jamming device.
- Ah, we've lost him and
it will be dark soon.
- I think I know where
hell be making for.
(slow suspenseful
orchestral music)
- Captain Scarlet and
Captain Blue have arrived
at the maximum
security center, Colonel.
- Were they hurt in the crash?
- [Lieutenant Green] No, sir,
just badly shaken and bruised.
- Well, that's something,
but I'd give a great deal
to know what the Mysteron
agent is doing right now.
(slow suspenseful
orchestral music)
(humming engine)
[Guard] Captain Scarlet,
we just picked up a
trace on the radar.
What is it?
- [Guard] Something pretty
big by the look of it.
Should I send
someone to invest--
(buzzing)
Hello?
It's dead.
- I'll tell Cloud Base.
Colonel White.
(humming engine)
- Colonel, the whole area
around the security center
is being jammed.
- That means it's up to
Scarlet and Blue now.
(humming engine)
(suspenseful orchestral music)
(explosion)
What's happened?
Get these lights back on.
- The main power lines
must have been blown.
Stay flat on the floor,
Mr. President.
- What do we do?
- Wait, and be ready to fire
at the doorway if I tell you.
[Captain Blue] I
wish I could see.
- Who's there?
Is that you, Joe?
I can't see a thing.
Joe?
Is that you, Joe?
(gun firing)
- Well, he managed to get
through all our
electronic alarm systems,
only to be foiled by a
simple piece of tripwire.
- Put in the right place,
Captain.
