his name, Captain Scarlet.

(eerie music)

[White] Stop the picture.

There's no possible doubt,

that shot proves conclusively.

Crater 101 on the far side of the Moon

houses a Mysteron complex.

- Yes, Colonel, we were shocked

when we saw it from the Moon Mobile.

- Must of course be destroyed as soon as possible.

- When do we leave, sir?

- Wait, there's something else.

Here's the plan.

It has been decided to divide the operation

into two distinct assignments.

- Two assignments, Colonel?

- Yes, Captain Blue.

The second is to destroy the Mysteron complex.

Arrangements have been made with the Lunar Authorities

to carry this out. - And the first?

- The first is more dangerous.

It involves a calculated risk of the first magnitude.

If we try to destroy that complex,

presumably the Mysterons will use their powers

to reconstruct it.

Therefore it has been decided

to send a volunteer party in to Crater 101,

into the Mysteron complex.

Objective: to find and remove the power source

from the complex.

[Mysteron] This is the voice of the Mysterons.

We know that you can hear us, Earthmen.

Although you have discovered our complex on the Moon,

it will never reveal its secrets.

Anyone who dares to enter will be destroyed.

You have been warned!

We have not forgotten.

(dramatic music)

Right, you've all had time to consider.

As I said, this assignment is on a volunteer basis.

Your decisions can be made in the strictest confidence.

I'm ready to go, sir. - Thank you, Lieutenant.

As the electronics expert

you will play a vital part in the operation.

Count me in, sir.

- Thank you, Captain, I know I can rely on you.

- Well, Colonel, I am due for 48 hours furlough in Miami,

but I couldn't really relax knowing the kind of trouble

these two would get into without me.

I'm ready, Colonel. - Thank you, Captain Scarlet

Well, gentlemen, no one knows

who or what you will find inside that complex.

All that remains for me to do is to wish you luck.

(eerie music)

[Nolan] This is a scale model of Crater 101

and the surrounding area.

It was built up from extensive aerial reconnaissance

over the past few days.

- What do we know about the vehicles

which were building the complex?

- They are unmanned lunar vehicles,

programmed to carry out the task.

This larger one controls the operation.

- We don't know how or when all this was started?

- The Lunar Controller was a Mysteron agent.

The secret died with him when Lunarville 7 was destroyed.

- Well, the plan of attack is obvious:

knock out the Control Vehicle then tackle the complex.

- We have decided to use a low yield atomic device

to destroy the complex

after you have had time to investigate it.

- Good, when do we leave? - At once.

You will travel by Moon Mobile.

The journey will take two hours.

Are the arrangements

for the atomic device finalized, Frazer?

- Yes, Miss Nolan, I will follow the Moon Mobile

in a Lunar Tank carrying the bomb.

This will be positioned in the crater

and the detonator set for midnight, Standard Earth Time.

- Good, that gives you six hours, Captain Scarlet.

Two to get to Crater 101,

and four hours to remove the power source and get clear.

Right, were on our way.

- Captain Scarlet? - Yes, Miss Nolan?

- I'd like you to take this.

It's a lucky charm.

I'm not really superstitious, but please take it.

"To Linda Nolan, the CB29

Neptune Probe, July 10th, 2058.

We made it ahead of schedule.

- I remember, you were the Project Controller

on the first Neptune Probe launched from the Moon.

- Yes, Captain Blue.

Let's hope we re as successful.

Be careful, Captain.

- Don't worry, we intend to come back.

Let's go.

- A brave man, and very good looking.

- Who? Captain Scarlet.

Yes, I suppose so, I didn't really notice.

- Yes, Miss Nolan.

(eerie music)

(metal legs flex)

- ETA Crater 101, 55 minutes.

(eerie music)

(metal legs flex)

- It's time for you to leave, Frazer.

- Yes, Miss Nolan.

- Remember, set the Detonator for midnight SET.

We must give them time to get clear.

(tense music)

Frazer?

Frazer, are you alright?

- Yes, I'm fine, your instructions will be carried.

(dramatic music)

I'm aboard the Lunar Tank and ready to leave.

- Right, report in an hour, Frazer.

Retracting walkway now.

(engine rumbles)

(eerie music)

(dramatic music)

I have Captain Scarlet on the Interspace Radio Link, sir.

Good, let me speak to him.

- Captain Scarlet?

- Yes, Colonel, were about to cross the lunar horizon.

We will then be on the far side of the Moon from Earth

and well lose all radio contact.

- [White] I understand, Captain

What's the latest situation?

[Scarlet] When we arrive at the crater

we will immobilize the Control Vehicle

and then enter the complex.

After our investigation

the whole area will be destroyed

at midnight, Standard Earth Time.

- SIG, Captain.

Report back as soon as the radio link is restored, out.

- What are their chances, sir?

- They cannot be calculated.

Men have faced the unknown before,

but I believe no man has ever faced

what awaits them in Crater 101.

(eerie music)

(metal legs flex)

- It s just over this ridge. - SIG.

Stop the Moon Mobile.

Look!

(eerie music)

- Well, it answers one question, how to get in.

- You mean well go in the same way?

- Yes, Lieutenant.

Lets get into the Moon Tractor.

(eerie music)

(radar beeps)

- We've been spotted!

We've got to knock out that Control Vehicle.

- They're going to attack!

- Lieutenant Green, man the missile gun.

Look out, Captain Blue!

(engines roar)

There's another, swerve!

Can you see the Control Vehicle?

- There s so much dust.

- There it is, dead ahead!

- Fire!

- Missed!

Don't lose sight of it.

Stop!

(engines roar)

It won't take it, we're stuck.

Look, its coming back.

Keep trying.

- It's no good, it won't budge.

- It'll smash us to pieces!

There's the Control Vehicle.

- You'll have one chance, Lieutenant, don't miss.

(atmosphere hisses)

- Do I get a coconut?

If we ever get out of this, Lieutenant,

Ill buy you all the coconuts you can eat!

- Lunarville 6 to Lunar Tank, what is your position?

I am about to cross the lunar horizon.

- Right, remember: set the detonator for 12 o'clock SET.

- I am sorry, Earth woman.

- Earth woman?

The detonator is already set for 10,

two hours earlier than Spectrum think.

- Frazer, listen to me, Frazer!

- Captain Scarlet is below the lunar horizon,

you cannot contact him.

He will die in Crater 101.

- Lieutenant Green's freed the Lunar Tractor,

we re ready to go.

Good, and there's Frazer and the atomic device

right on time.

(dramatic music)

Tell Lieutenant Green to get back in here.

- SIG.

Captain Scarlet to Lunar Tank, come in Frazer.

- I'm about to release the atomic device.

- [Scarlet] Right, well start the investigation.

- Good luck, out!

And goodbye, Earthmen.

(eerie music)

(engine roars)

(dramatic music)

(engine roars)

(eerie music)

- Alright, put on the spacesuits.

Radio check, Captain Blue?

[Blue] Spectrum is Green.

[Scarlet] Lieutenant?

- [Green] Radio SIG.

- [Scarlet] Let's go in.

[Blue] Through the wall?

- [Scarlet] Through the wall.

(eerie music)

It's indescribable.

- Start the cameras, let's move on.

(eerie music)

Take it easy, Lieutenant, you're forgetting the low gravity.

- SIG.

- There's no radiation, what s the temperature?

- Normal, gravity and pressure fluctuation negative.

- [Blue] No trace of any X ray or infra red emission.

- Well, nothing so far.

Where's Lieutenant Green?

Lieutenant Green?

(eerie chittering)

- Over there.

- Lieutenant Green, what s wrong?

- Those lights, they're hypnotic.

- You- I I mustn't look.

(gun shots)

(chittering device powers down)

Another few seconds and we would have all been transfixed.

- I couldn't look away.

I tried, but I just couldn't.

- Let's move on, and stay together.

Frazer is a Mysteron!

- Are you sure, Controller?

He told me as much himself.

He set the detonator for 10 o'clock instead of 12.

- What?

Well, isn't there some way we can warn Captain Scarlet?

- No, he's out of radio range.

- Stay back.

- What is it, Captain?

- Some kind of weightless area

just in front of where you're standing.

Captain Scarlet, can you hear me?

Yes, it's alright, you can come up.

I think I've found the heart of the complex.

Through there, look!

[Blue] What is it?

- There's only one way to find out.

(dramatic music)

- [Blue] My instrumentation s gone crazy.

This is it, the power source.

- Get as many pictures as you can, we've got to work fast.

Remember the 12 o clock deadline.

Well, a rockets the only thing fast enough.

to get there before that bomb explodes.

- An unmanned rocket, could it work?

There's the slimmest chance, but it's the only one.

Right, we've got enough pictures, what time is it?

- 9.32 SET.

Good, two and a half hours to detonation.

We've plenty of time.

- The rocket is ready on the launch pad.

- Start the count down immediately.

All we can do now is hope.

Five, four, three, two, one,

lift off!

(rocket engines fire)

I m going to try and remove the power source.

- Take it easy, Captain.

(rocket crashes) - What was that?

- I don't know, I'll go and find out.

(dramatic music)

(eerie music)

- [Scarlet] Can you see anything, Captain Blue?

[Blue] Yes, it's an unmanned space probe, an old CB29.

- [Scarlet] It must have been launched from Lunarville 6,

but why an obsolete CB29?

Unless.

- Maybe it's some kind of message.

- Or a warning?

- The lucky charm, now what was it?

"To Linda Nolan, the CB29 Neptune Probe, July 10th 2058.

- We made it ahead of schedule.

Can you see a connection?

Ahead of schedule?

Our schedule's 12 o'clock SET.

The bomb!

It could mean the bomb will explode ahead of schedule.

Captain Blue, check the detonator timing

on that atomic device. - SIG.

Lieutenant Green, get back in the Moon Mobile.

- But Captain-

That's an order, I'll follow in the Lunar Tractor

when I've disconnected this power source.

Get moving! - SIG.

(tense music)

- Captain Scarlet, the detonator is set for 10,

get out of there,

the whole crater will go up in five minutes.

- Get into the Moon Mobile, I'll follow as soon as I can.

- I'm coming back.

No, at least get the cameras to safety.

- [Blue] Captain Scarlet!

- You know I'm right, Adam, do as I say.

Spectrum is Green.

(tense music)

- Less than two minutes to detonation.

We're safe here.

Any sign of Captain Scarlet? - No, nothing.

(dramatic music)

He didn't make it.

He just didn't make it.

Look!

What a guy!

- Well, gentlemen, I'm glad to be able to tell you,

mission accomplished.

- Our reconnaissance shows it was a complete success.

- That's great news.

It means that the Mysteron powers of reconstruction

are somehow connected with this power source.

We must take it back to Earth at once.

Well, I'm afraid it's goodbye.

Thank you for everything.

- Goodbye, Captain Scarlet.

- I almost forgot, your lucky charm.

- I'd take it as a favor if you'd keep it.

Thank you.

Let's go, Adam.

- A brave man, and so good looking.

I suppose so, I didn't think you'd noticed.
