His name, Captain Scarlet.

(mysterious music)

- Can you hear me, Mr. Morgan?

- Yes, doctor.

- You know what we're going to do.

Are you comfortable?

- Yes, Dr. Magnus, I'm fine.

- Good, let's begin.

X-rays.

- Will the patient be conscious throughout?

- Yes, they use a local anesthetic.

Dr. Magnus needs to check the patient's reaction.

[Magnus] Scalpel.

Pulse?

- Pulse, normal.

Breathing, steady.

- Electrolytic cream.

Clamp.

It looks fine, small probe.

- Pulse, 85 increasing.

- Relax, Mr. Morgan.

Cream, nurse.

Right, switch on the cerebral pulsator.

Give me the electrodes.

- He's introducing the electrodes to the frontal area.

- This is the critical part.

- Pulse?

- [Anesthetist] Steady at 89.

- Good, electrodes in position.

I'll take over.

- He's about to apply the current.

- One mistake now...

(rapid beeping)

- This is the voice of the Mysterons.

We know that you can hear us, Earth men.

We will continue to take our revenge.

You will pay for your act of aggression.

Our next act of retaliation

will be to kill time.

We will kill time.

- Time.

Kill time.

What do they mean?

- The computer's compiled a list

of anything associated with time held in the memory bank.

- Yes colonel, but it's over 14 microfiles long.

- Well, we cannot hope to cover even one percent

of the possibilities, somehow we must narrow the field.

I've sent out a worldwide alert to all Spectrum agents.

I want reports on anything suspicious.

We will set up field headquarters in strategic cities.

Captain Blue. - Yes, colonel?

- You will leave for New York immediately.

- Yes, sir.

- Captain Grey, take Rio de Janeiro.

- Yes, sir.

- Captain Ochre, Moscow.

And you, Captain Scarlet, London.

- Yes, sir. - Sir.

- Right gentlemen, that is all.

- Cloud promenade deck D.

Prepare Spectrum jets for immediate launch.

Colonel White? - Yes, lieutenant?

- Could the Mysteron threat to kill time

be some sort of trick? - Trick?

No, lieutenant, rest assured they intend

to destroy something or somebody.

- Dr. Magnus.

- Ah, there you are, Turner.

How's the patient?

- He's fine, I expect a complete recovery.

- Good, I was rather pleased myself.

Went off without a hitch.

- Then I take it we're all set up for tomorrow?

- Yes, I can see no point in waiting.

- [Benson] Your car, Dr. Magnus.

- Good, thank you.

Well, I'll go and see the general right away.

- Have my car brought around please, Benson.

- Right away, sir.

- Goodnight Magnus.

- See you in the morning, goodnight Turner.

(knock at door)

- Come in.

- Professor Magnus is here to see you, General.

- Ah, doctor.

- Please, don't get up general.

I just came to confirm that the operation

will take place tomorrow.

- I'm glad to hear it doctor.

I don't like this waiting around.

- I understand, sir.

There is one thing.

- [General] Yes?

- I need your signature on this release.

- Release?

Do you anticipate any complications?

- No. general, as I told you, any brain operation

is delicate, but the cerebral pulsator

has eliminated most of the risk.

In fact, I performed a very similar operation just today

and the patient is fine.

The release is a formality.

- Well, if you say so, Magnus.

- If you'd like to wait and get a second opinion,

we can postpone it a week or so.

- No, no, no, let's get it over with.

Give me the release, I'll sign it now.

Thank you.

- Come on, come on.

(gunshot and shattering glass)

(cars honking)

(intense chase music)

Lost him.

Now, calm down and find the police.

(gunshot)

(gunshot)

(skidding tires)

(mysterious music)

- Dr. Magnus, tomorrow you will kill time.

Tomorrow you will kill time.

- Destiny Angel has just landed, sir.

- Has she anything to report?

- No, sir, just the latest dispatches

from London and New York.

- And I assume they tell us nothing.

- No, sir, I'm afraid not.

- Nothing, nothing.

Nothing.

- [Magenta] I've got it! I got it!

Colonel White, I've got it!

- What the-

- I know what the Mysterons are going to do.

It's here in the paper!

It came to me in a flash.

I don't know why we didn't think of it before!

It's so obvious now, so obvious.

- This is Colonel White.

Is that you, Captain Magenta?

- Yes, sir. I'm trying to tell you-

- Slow down, Captain, and tell me clearly and slowly

what you have found.

I was checking the papers for a lead,

when I noticed that General Tiempo,

commander of the western region world defense is in London

for an operation.

- Get to the point, Captain.

- Well, that's it Colonel.

General Tiempo is an obvious target for the Mysterons,

and Tiempo, in Spanish, means time.

Kill time, kill Tiempo.

- Doctor Magnus?

I hope I didn't startle you.

- No, No I uh, I was checking on my patient.

Who are you, anyway?

- Captain Scarlet, Spectrum.

- Uh, what's going on?

Is it time for the operation?

- Not quite, general, there's been a change of plan.

I have orders to escort you both to Cloud Base.

- I demand an explanation.

- It's very simple, Dr. Magnus.

We believe that the Mysterons

plan to assassinate General Tiempo,

and decided to bring him here for his own safety.

- That's all very well, Colonel White,

but the general was due

to have a serious operation this morning.

- We have adequate facilities here on Cloud Base

for any operation, don't you agree, Dr. Fawn?

- Yes, we have the facilities,

but in view of the Mysteron threat,

I would suggest we postpone the operation for a week or so.

- Absolutely out of the question!

As the general's doctor,

I demand that we go ahead immediately.

- But I understood, doctor- - Immediately, doctor.

- All right, he's your patient, Dr. Magnus.

Prepare the sick bay.

Has the transporter arrived?

- Yes, sir, Dr. Turner and the radiographer

are in the sick bay,

and Dr. Magnus's apparatus has been installed.

- Good, you all have your orders.

Dr. Fawn, you will assist in the actual operation.

- Yes, sir.

- The rest of us will watch on internal television.

I don't have to remind you

that the tightest possible security's essential.

Where is the general now?

- In the X-ray room, sir.

- Right, a couple more, a little to the left, general.

Now, one more.

That should be fine.

You'll get those up to the theater

as quickly as possible, please.

- Yes, sir.

- Lieutenant Green. - Yes, sir?

- Keep open contact with the sick bay.

I want to hear every word that is said.

- Yes, colonel.

- I have a feeling that the Mysteron attempt

on General Tiempo's life is very close.

- Let's get on with it.

- We're waiting for the X-rays.

- Well, can someone hurry them up?

- Hm, that Magnus should keep his hands out of the way.

- Are we ready now?

- Yes. - Right, X-rays.

Scalpel.

- Are you all right?

- Of course, what do you mean?

Electrolytic cream.

(dramatic music)

- Pulse, normal, breathing steady.

- Probe.

Switch on the cerebral pulsator.

Set the voltage for 1.7.

- But doctor, that's far too high!

- I'll thank you doctor,

to remember I'm performing this operation.

- Should we stop it, sir?

- No, wait.

- Give me the electrodes.

- But this is impossible. unless-

Magnus!

- I'll take over the pulsator.

- Hold it right there.

- Let me pass.

- I've got strict orders, no one's to go in there.

- I've got to stop the operation.

- I said no one.

- Pulse rate rising rapidly, breathing spasmodic.

Pulse still increasing, Dr. Magnus.

- No, and that's final!

- Then I must see Colonel White!

(frantic beeping)

Colonel White!

- Pulse 120.

124, breathing irregular, deteriorating.

Magnus!

(dramatic music)

- Magnus is a Mysteron! Hold him!

- It's too late, earth man.

He's dead.

- You're wrong, Magnus.

You've killed Captain Scarlet.

- [Colonel] Dr. Magnus, consider yourself under arrest.

- Look out!

- After him!

- This is a Cloud Base alert.

Seal all exits from Deck C.

Apprehend Dr. Magnus.

This is a Cloud Base alert.

- Have you got him?

- No, no he's locked himself in the generator room.

We could get in through the maintenance door.

- Good idea. - Well let's go!

- No, captain, I better go alone.

Don't be a fool, Magnus.

You failed!

Give yourself up and we'll try and help you.

- Help me, earth man?

If I'm to fail, at least you will die first.

- Finally Colonel, I'd like to thank you

and all the members of Spectrum for what you've done.

- There's no need, general, that's what we're here for.

- Well, uh, thank you anyway.

- I would like to thank Captain Scarlet for volunteering

to take General Tiempo's place during the operation.

Once again, he has saved the situation

and demonstrated his remarkable powers of recovery.

Well, Dr. Magnus is dead, but we have learned

a little more about the Mysterons.

First, they are impervious to x-rays.

A most important point.

And secondly, it is obvious that electricity

is their Achilles heel.

High voltage current can kill Mysterons as well as men.
