(water lapping gently)

(submarine humming)

- [Man] Stop the engine.

We can drift to shore from here.

(phone ringing)

- Spectrum Security Holtz, night guard here.

No I'm sorry, there's no one else around.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

Yes, I'll do that.

I'll pass on the message in the morning.

Right, goodbye.

- The guard's coming out.

Give me the disc.

(disc clanks)

(disc beeps)

(disc beeping)

(gas hissing)

(coughing)

(thudding)

Hold it.

Wait for the gas to clear.

Right, come on.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

He'll be out for about a half an hour.

How long will you need to open to strong room?

- About 10 minutes.

Carl gave all the detailed drawings,

the circuit diagrams for the alarms, everything.

I'll get the equipment.

- Right, and I'll borrow the keys from our old buddy here.

I'm sure he wouldn't want us to start

breaking down doors to getting.

(dramatic instrumental music)

- Well, I've taken care of the alarm system.

One little bang in the right place, and she's open.

- Get back behind a table.

How long? - Five seconds.

Now.

(explosion booms)

(door whirring)

- We've done it. The door's opening.

- Beautiful.

- Well, let's see just how rich Spectrum are.

(dramatic instrumental music)

- [The Mysterons] This is the voice of the Mysterons.

We know that you can hear us, Earth men.

We've seen the greed and corruption

of the world in which you live

and we'll take our revenge upon it.

We will destroy the heart of New York.

We have not forgotten.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(melodic instrumental music)

- I don't know why Colonel White sent us here.

It looks like a job for the Spectrum police.

- What a mess.

Have you any idea what's missing?

- No, I haven't had time to check.

- Do we know what was in the strong room?

- Nothing but documentation and microfilm.

All on the secret list, grade A security.

- Well, it looks like an inside job.

Whoever opened this strong room door

knew just what they were doing.

- Yes, it's obviously been done by professionals,

but there's something funny about it.

I'll report to Colonel White.

(engine humming)

- Yes, Captain Scarlet?

- [Captain Scarlet] We've talked to the guard, Colonel.

- How is he? - Oh, he's fine.

They used some kind of nerve gas

but he's fully recovered.

I'm glad to hear it. Go on.

- We're inside the Spectrum security vault,

but something just doesn't add up.

The job was planned most efficiently

and the strong room opened with a minimum of effort,

but the whole place has been ransacked.

It's as if they didn't know what they were looking for.

- I see.

Well it doesn't sound like the work of the Mysterons.

I wanted you to check it out first

but now I think we can leave it to the Spectrum police.

Captain Scarlet, I want you and Captain Blue

to concentrate on the latest Mysteron threat.

Go to New York at once.

- Yes Colonel, we'll leave immediately.

(engine Humming)

That break-in at Spectrum security vault.

It's still puzzling me.

I can't get it out of my mind.

- I know what you mean.

- Why would a group of apparently professional criminals

go to such trouble to break open a strong room

full of what to them must be useless documentation?

(dramatic instrumental music)

- Useless, junk.

Kruger and I risked our necks

to get a heap of useless paper.

- How was I to know what was inside?

- You work at the plant where the vault was made.

It should have been checked out.

- Look, Spectrum ordered a strong room.

Not just any strong room, but the best.

Now you'd think they'd used to store

something more valuable than papers.

Isn't that reasonable?

- Will you two stop arguing?

Have either of you read any of this documents?

- A few of them, why?

- I have here a Spectrum report on the Mysterons.

It's headed Top Secret.

Listen to this.

The Mysterons have the power of retro-metabolism.

They can destroy an object or a person

and reconstruct them for their own ends.

- Go on.

- The report then describes an eye witness account

of a reconstruction as acctualy happen.

- Very interesting material, but it doesn't help us

unless you're thinking of writing a book.

- Not a book, maybe a play, and we'll all be in it.

I think I know how to make the Mysterons work for us.

(dramatic instrumental music)

(wind whistling)

- The heart of a great city.

- Yes, but the pulse seems to have stopped

now that the people have gone.

- Well the evacuation's complete

and the detector road blocks will warn us

of any Mysterons who try to enter the city.

We'd better organize a search for booby-traps

that may have already been planted.

- [Kruger] Enough to blow a whole city block to pieces.

- Well all we plan to do is blow open one small safe.

- Yes, but what a safe.

The head office of the Second National Bank New York.

The gold reserve for the whole Eastern seaboard

is held in there.

- Do you think it'll work? - Sure it'll work.

Inside an hour, we will all be Mysterons.

(dramatic instrumental music)

Now you know what to do.

There it is ahead.

Get out that bottle of whiskey and splash it around.

(tires screeching)

Hey buddy, I think we spotted a fire.

- Where abouts?

- Come down here. I can't hear ya.

- Right.

- Here he comes now.

(elevator whirring)

Well, you must get quite a view from up there.

- Here, pal, have a drink.

- No thanks. You said you saw a fire.

- The man said have a drink.

- Look, quit playing games, will ya?

Pull off the road and sober up.

- Are you insinuating I'm drunk?

- Well the smell of liquor in this car

I'd say you'd all had enough.

- Let's get out of here.

- Take my advice, friend, keep the speed down.

There's some mighty dangers bends just ahead.

- You just watch you don't fall of that tower.

(tires screeching) (engine rumbling)

- Stupid fools.

- Wow, we convinced him.

He won't forget our faces in a hurry.

- We can stop around the next bend.

We'll be out of sight of the look out.

(tires screeching)

Right, get the dummies out of the drunk.

If we can roll the car down to that clearing

it'll be in full view from the tower

when it goes over the edge.

- Right.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

- Very lifelike.

Is the pedal jammed down hard?

- Yeah. - Right.

Put her in drive.

(engine rumbling)

It's nearly there.

He should spot it any moment.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

- Drunken fools, they're gonna kill themselves!

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(tires screeching)

(car clattering)

I warned them, I warned them.

(explosion booms)

(explosion booms)

(dramatic instrumental music)

The car sailed right over the edge.

They didn't stand a chance.

They must have all been killed instantly.

Yeah.

Yeah, I saw the whole thing.

Right, I'll wait for ya.

- Shouldn't you be looking out for fires?

- But, I saw you.

You were all killed.

The crash, the fire.

- You're wrong, Earthman.

Tell the authorities we Mysterons intend to destroy

the Second National Bank of New York.

Tell them that when you wake up.

(spray hissing)

(dramatic instrumental music)

(engine humming)

- The fire look out has a first class record

and is considered absolutely reliable.

- Well it look s as if his story must be believed.

- Yes sir.

It seems the Mysterons have taken over three men

and intend to destroy the Second National Bank in New York.

- The Second National Bank.

That could be called the heart of New York.

Well I'm not going to risk Spectrum lives

trying to save a bank.

Put me in touch with Captain Scarlet.

- [Lieutenant Green] Yes, sir.

(beeping)

- [Colonel White] What's the latest situation, Captain Scarlet?

- We organized a systematic search of the whole area

and we've nearly covered all of the city center.

So far no sign of a Mysteron booby trap.

- Has the area been evacuated?

- Yes sir.

Only the police and Spectrum personnel are left.

- [Colonel White] Well l want you to pull every one out.

- Pull out, sir? - Yes, Captain.

The Mysterons have narrowed their field of attack

to the Second National Bank.

I don't pretend to understand why

but if they do succeed I don't want

any of our men hurt in the explosion.

Pull back to the road blocks.

- [Captain Scarlet] Yes sir.

- Well, we'll be inside the city limits in five minutes.

- A road block, better ease up.

- Right.

- It's a Spectrum road block.

We'll have to be careful.

- Spectrum will be looking for Mysterons.

That's the way we planned it.

We'll get through.

- Three men have just pulled up.

Gray Saloon, license number 101-X238.

- Keep 'em talking while I check them out

with the Mysteron detector.

- SIG, contact me over the personal receiver.

I'll turn the volume right down

so they can't overhear.

- SIG, Captain Magenta.

(dramatic instrumental music)

- What's the trouble, Captain?

- Just a routine check, gentlemen.

(dramatic instrumental music)

- Negative.

- I'm sure you're aware of the Mysteron threat

and that this is a restricted area.

- Oh yes, but we understand the Mysterons

have now limited their target

to one small area downtown.

(dramatic instrumental music)

- Two are negative, Captain Magenta.

I'm checking on the third.

(detector whirring)

- I'm afraid I have my orders.

No unauthorized personnel can pass through.

- We understand, Captain.

I think this is what you need.

Mm, you're government agents.

Where are you heading?

- Like you Captain, we have our orders.

- They're all clear, Captain Magenta.

They can proceed.

- Well gentlemen, everything seems to be in order.

I must warn you that you enter entirely at your own risk.

If you do run into difficulties, Spectrum cannot help.

All our personnel have been pulled back

outside the road blocks,

but you are clear to proceed.

Good luck.

- Thanks Captain, we'll manage.

(dramatic instrumental music)

(engine rumbling)

- Well , I've got to hand it to you, Kruger.

You were smooth.

- He even told us they'd pulled all their men back.

- Well boys, the town has been evacuated.

We can take our time and just help ourselves to the money.

(dramatic instrumental music)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

There it is, let's go.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(engine rumbling)

(door bangs)

- Captain Scarlet, Captain Blue.

- Three men were reported heading this way.

Have they been trough here yet?

- Yes, we let them pass about 15 minutes ago.

- You let them pass? - Yes.

They checked out clean.

They knew the Mysterons had changed their target

and had government authorization to enter.

- Government agents, eh?

- Yes. - Wait a minute.

How did they know about the Mysteron change of plan?

That information was only circulated to Spectrum personnel.

- You're right.

- It's beginning to fall in to place.

They must be the Mysterons the fire look out

saw in the crash.

But they're checked out by the detector

and they weren't Mysterons.

- There's only one explanation.

That accident was faked.

The city's evacuated.

They're going to rob the Second National Bank.

I'm going in, put Colonel White in the picture.

(dramatic instrumental music)

- We can forget the alarms.

No one's gonna hear them.

Just fix the explosive.

- Right.

- It's uncanny, the silence I mean.

No traffic, no people, an empty city.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(soft footsteps)

- What was that? - What's what?

- I thought I heard something.

Someone, outside.

- There can't be.

The city's empty.

Let's get the safe door open.

(soft footsteps)

- Listen, there it is again.

- Look, I heard nothing.

The quicker we blow that door

the quicker we can get outta here.

Let's move.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(engine rumbling)

- How far to the bank? - About two miles.

- Let's hope we're in time.

(tires screeching)

(explosion booms)

(door whirring)

- Perfect.

- Let's get the money and gold and get outta here.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

- There must be millions.

- We'll load the gold first.

Don't try and carry too much at a time.

It's heavy.

Stay where you are, Earthmen.

The greed that brought you here

will cost you dearly.

In five minutes this bank will be destroyed,

and you with it.

- Let us out!

- You can't leave us Here.

(dramatic instrumental music)

(engine rumbling)

(tires screeching)

- Look, there's a car coming towards us.

That's it.

Gray Saloon, registration 101-X238.

- But there was only one man in it.

- Yes, and unless I'm very much mistaken

that man was Captain Black.

(tires screeching)

We're closing on him. Warn the road block.

We've got him trapped.

- Captain Magenta, the gray Saloon is approximately

one mile from the road block.

We suspect Captain Black is driving.

Make sure he does not escape.

- Don't worry Captain Blue, he won't get through here.

- [The Mysterons] Captain Black, this is

the voice of the Mysterons.

There is a road block ahead

and a Spectrum Saloon behind you.

(tires screeching)

(tires screeching)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(zapping)

(tires screeching)

- Hey!

He's gone, vanished into thin air.

- He can't have.

(suspenseful instrumental music)

- There's no way out, absolutely none.

He's vanished like a ghost.

- The Mysterons have powers we cannot hope to understand.

(explosion booms)

(dramatic instrumental music)

(engine humming)

- Now that the full story has emerged

we see how the greed of three men

resulted in their eventual death.

The Mysterons also recognize the corruption

and greed of man and have destroyed

as they said they would, the heart of New York,

the Second National Bank.

But surely these three men were not typical of mankind

whom I believe to be basically good.

And because of this I am convinced of our

ultimate victory against the Mysterons.
